Chapter 240: Li Ruoxi’s Bet (1)
The man in the white coat swung his fist with all his might.
However, after hitting Su Mo, he was knocked back.
He felt the pain coming from the back of his hand.
The expression on her face was extremely shocked.
The punch just now didn’t seem to have hit a human body.
Instead, it hit a mountain.
It was vast and unbreakable.
It was simply beyond her understanding.
Even if her strength increased by ten times, she would definitely not be able to break through the defense.
She finally understood that this young and handsome young man in front of her.
In fact, he was far more powerful than her.
Don’t say it’s her’s’s’s ”
Even the dead shop owner was far inferior.
Under such circumstances, there was no need for him to call for reinforcements.
He alone was enough to destroy this stronghold.
In other words, he was not the one who attracted those people outside.
Through his previous actions, White Coat quickly figured out the situation.
Su Mo did not care about White Coat’s attack.
The opponent’s attack was so weak that it couldn’t even be considered as tickling him.
In fact, after seeing the corpse on the ground, he was shocked.
His attention was almost drawn to the corpse.
He came here today to trade the Bewitching Spirit Crystal through the shop owner.
Now that the owner of the shop was gone, the deal deal was out of the question.
And the Bewitching Spirit Crystal was extremely precious.
Even if he offered a reward, he might not be able to find his next target in time.
This made Su Mo feel a little depressed, but he also felt a little angry.
He looked at the corpse of the shop owner.
The corpse looked to be in his forties. His face was unkempt and unkempt.
He was wearing a simple grey floral shirt and a pair of black shorts.
However, there was a big hole in the chest area of the shirt.
Large amounts of blood flowed out from it, dyeing the white tile floor under him a bright red.
The air was filled with the thick smell of blood.
The shopkeeper’s eyes widened in anger and his hands clenched into fists.
It was obvious that before he died, he had already reacted and knew the existence of the attacker.
Unfortunately, he still missed a step and died on the spot.
Judging from the aura that the other party emitted, he was undoubtedly a tier 4.
Then, they could kill him in an extremely short period of time, and even make the other party unable to counterattack.
The person who did this was at least a Tier 5, or even a Tier 6.
As for those above Tier 6, it was unlikely.
If a Tier 6 or higher expert were to attack, he would definitely not be able to react in time, let alone leave such an expression.
Even if the other party had deliberately attacked him, his expression before his death would not be as simple as it was now. It should be more of confusion.
This was because Tier 7 was already far beyond his limit. He would never be able to defeat an enemy like that even if he risked his life.
Then the question was, why did the murderer kill him, a middleman?
According to conventional thinking, there was no doubt that it was to kill and steal the treasure.
However, in their line of work, they were naturally more cautious.
Those that could be traded were usually treasures that were lower than their own level.
This way, the trading partner would not have to fight for such a small thing. His own strength could also hold the fort.
As for the more important resources like the Bewitching Spirit Crystal, they were actually not in his hands at all.
Once the news of this treasure that far exceeded his own level was leaked, he would not be able to keep it at all.
Therefore, in this transaction against the Bewitching Spirit Crystal, he only played the role of an intermediary.
The real behind-the-scenes dealer was someone else.
According to the transaction process, he came today to go through the motions and let the person behind the scenes calm down.
Then, he would choose a temporary trading location and quickly conduct the transaction.
This way, they would not be afraid of being caught by the Dawn Bureau.
From this program, it could be seen that the treasures in the owner’s hands were not enough for the murderer to kill him.
If the murderer was trying to get some information from the shop owner, the murderer’s attack would not be so fierce and overbearing.
In addition, the situation in the room was not too messy. There were even no traces of rummaging.
This looked more like a simple revenge murder.
Su Mo’s mind raced as he instantly made all sorts of guesses.
Before he could go forward to examine it.
The dense sound of footsteps coming from downstairs was approaching.
Before he arrived, he said,
“The Dawn Bureau is doing business. Everyone, hold your heads and squat down!”
The man in the white coat obediently squatted in the corner with his hands on his head. He was so skilled that it made one’s heart ache.
Hearing that familiar voice, Su Mo could not help but look over.
Sure enough, the next second, Zhang Zhenyu, who was wearing a gray suit, appeared at the door.
Following that, several figures entered his field of vision one after another.
Most of them were his acquaintances.
“I didn’t expect to be able to gather together in this place.”
Su Mo was somewhat speechless as he said,”
“Why are you here?”
At this moment, everyone had also recovered from the owner’s death.
Zhang Zhenyu looked at Su Mo and anxiously asked,”
“How did he die?”
Su Mo spread his hands.”
“He was already dead when I came. From the looks of it, it should be a vendetta.”
“Do you know who killed the dead?”
Su Mo shook his head.”
“I didn’t see him. Judging from the livor mortis on his body, he’s been dead for almost two to three hours.”
“?! You still didn’t make it?”
Qian Tao could not help but curse in a low voice.
“Looks like there’s a lot of inside information.”
Su Mo pinched his chin and asked,”
“Can you tell me?”
“It’s not something that can’t be said.”
Qian Tao immediately poured out his grievances.
