The bad husband wanted to bring his second wife into the house, so I turned around and became his st

"I..." The killer was silent for a moment after hearing this, "Okay, I understand."

"That's more like it," the voice said with satisfaction. "Remember, you can only get the rest of the money if you kill them both. If you dare to play tricks, you will suffer the consequences."

After saying that, the voice disappeared.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan looked at each other, their hearts filled with shock and anger.

They didn't expect that someone would pay to kill them.

Moreover, judging from the tone of the voice, it seemed that more than one person wanted to kill them.

This situation is more complicated and dangerous than they imagined.

They must be more careful to survive this crisis.

Thinking of this, Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan both clenched their weapons, ready to deal with the impending danger.

At this moment, footsteps were suddenly heard in the house, and the killer seemed to be coming out.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan looked at each other, quickly left the door and hid behind the wall.

They cautiously stuck their heads out and saw the killer walk out of the house, look around, and then walk towards the door.

Seeing this, Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan also followed quietly.

They followed the killer to a secluded alley.

The killer stopped and turned to look at them.

"You've finally come." The killer's voice was cold and ruthless. "It seems you really want to know who wants to kill you."

"Yes."

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan exchanged a glance, looking at him warily, "What do you know?"

"Humph, I know a lot."

The killer sneered, "However, if you want to know the truth, you must get past me first."

After saying that, he flashed and pounced towards Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan.

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan were prepared and quickly dodged his attack.

While dodging the killer's attacks, they were looking for opportunities to counterattack. The two of them cooperated very well, and their attacks and defenses were well organized.

The killer's martial arts skills were indeed unfathomable, and his attacks were so fierce that they gradually felt a little tired.

Lin Wanqing was not careful and was hit by the killer's palm. He flew backwards and hit the wall heavily, spitting out blood.

Seeing this, Lu Shengyuan roared angrily and attacked even more fiercely.

He dodged the killer's attack, grabbed his wrist, and asked in a cold tone, "Tell me, who wants to kill us?"

The killer's arm was hurt by Lu Shengyuan's grip.

But he gritted his teeth and spoke word by word, "Want to know? Go to hell and ask!"

After saying that, he took out a poison needle from his bosom with his other hand and stabbed it straight into Lu Shengyuan's chest.

Lu Shengyuan was quick-witted and grabbed his wrist.

At this moment, Lin Wanqing rushed over despite the pain and hit the killer on the back with a palm.

The killer spat out a mouthful of blood, fell to the ground, twitched a few times and then became motionless.

They quickly searched the killer's body, hoping to find some clues.

However, they found nothing except some silver and poison needles.

The killer's face was also covered with a black veil, so his features could not be seen at all.

"Damn it, who wants to kill us?"

Lu Shengyuan punched the wall next to him angrily.

"Forget it, now that the clues are broken, let's go back and think of a solution."

Lin Wanqing covered his chest and spoke with difficulty.

She was injured and had to go back to heal as soon as possible.

Lu Shengyuan nodded, helped Lin Wanqing up, and walked out of the alley.

They returned to the inn and asked for a room upstairs.

Lin Wanqing sat cross-legged on the bed, practicing internal energy to heal his injuries.

Lu Shengyuan sat at the table, frowning as he thought about the whole thing. Who wanted to kill them both?

They had just arrived in the capital and had not offended anyone.

Then, there is only one possibility, that is, someone wants to harm the master behind them.

When he thought of this possibility, a cold light flashed in Lu Shengyuan's eyes.

If he were to find out who was behind this, he would definitely not let him off easily!

Time passed little by little, and Lin Wanqing finally finished his practice and let out a breath.

"How are you? Are you feeling better?" Lu Shengyuan hurried forward and asked.

Lin Wanqing nodded. "It's nothing serious. Just take a rest."

"Yes." Lu Shengyuan nodded, but his expression was very solemn. "This matter is not simple. We must find out who is behind this as soon as possible."

"But we don't have any clues now."

Lin Wanqing frowned and said, "The killer didn't say anything. What should we do?"

"let me see……"

Lu Shengyuan pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes lit up, "Right, we can go find someone to help."

"Who?" Lin Wanqing asked curiously.

"The Great Detective of Beijing—Di Jie."

Lu Shengyuan slowly uttered the name, "I heard that he is a god at solving cases. There is no mystery he cannot solve. If we can find his help, perhaps we can find some clues."

"Dij?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing's eyes flashed with a strange light, "I've heard of his name, but... will he help us?"

"No matter what, we have to give it a try."

Lu Shengyuan said firmly, "There's no time to lose, let's go find him now."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to go out.

"Wait a moment."

Lin Wanqing stopped him, "Are we going like this? Do you want to prepare some gifts or something?"

"Need not."

Lu Shengyuan shook his head. "Di Jie is a man of integrity. I'm afraid he wouldn't easily help us even if we offered him mountains of gold and silver. We can only try our luck and see if we can convince him to help."

"Well, you're right." Lin Wanqing nodded, "Then let's go."

They came to Di Jie's residence and handed over a visiting card.

After a while, a servant came out and said to them, "My master invites you in."

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan looked at each other and followed the servants into the mansion.

They came to the living room and saw a middle-aged man sitting there drinking tea.

The man was wearing a green robe, had a gaunt face, sharp eyes, and exuded an aura of majesty.

"Master Di."

Lin Wanqing and Lu Shengyuan stepped forward and saluted.

"Well, sit down."

Di Jie pointed to the seat next to him and motioned for them to sit down. "Why did you come to see me?"

"Sir Di, we have a case and would like to ask you to help investigate it." Lu Shengyuan said straight to the point.

"Oh? What case?" Di Jie raised his eyebrows.

"Is such that……"

Lu Shengyuan briefly recounted what had happened to them.

After listening to this, Di Jie was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "This case is not a simple one. Who did you offend that would go to such great lengths to kill you?"

"We don't know either." Lu Shengyuan shook his head, "So, we'd like to ask Lord Di to help us check it out."

"Well, I can help you check it out." Di Jie nodded, "But first, you have to tell me who your master is. I need to know if it's worth helping me."
