Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 742: Acquaintance

"Of course I do, you know that?"

"You knew this and still asked me. This is the first time I've seen someone so long-winded about buying a pendant. You seem to be well dressed, but I didn't expect it would be so troublesome to spend such a small amount of money to buy a small item." said the stall owner.

Wu Xunsheng said: "What if I tell you that this thing may be related to a murder case?"

The stall owner's face immediately changed and he said, "What?"

"I hope you can tell me where you got it from and don't lie. I think you definitely don't want to be involved in a murder case." Wu Xunsheng said seriously.

The stall owner was very scared and said, "The murder case has nothing to do with me. I picked this thing up in the south. I didn't lie. I told you just now that I bought it from the south. It's just that I didn't pay for it this time."

Wu Xunsheng thought for a moment and asked, "Was there any blood on the sign when you picked it up?"

The stall owner was really shocked when he heard this, and his voice was a little weak: "You...how do you even know this?"

Wu Xunsheng had only asked casually based on his own guess, but he didn't expect the stall owner to say that, so he continued to ask, "Is it true?"

"Yes, but I wiped it clean, so what you bought is the clean one," said the stall owner.

"Did you know what this thing was when you picked it up?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

"This... isn't this just a pendant?" said the stall owner.

Seeing the stall owner's reaction, Wu Xunsheng thought: He sells it at such a low price, maybe he really doesn't know what it is used for.

"When you picked this up, was there anything else nearby?" Wu Xunsheng asked.

“I didn’t see any others,” the stall owner replied.

Wu Xunsheng didn't want to keep the three masters and Tie Hongyan in the tavern waiting too long, so he put away the sign, walked over quickly, and took the three of them to the tavern. In front of the boss, Tie Hongyan whispered to the three of them to protect the boss and the tavern. The three of them heard her whispering and understood that it was not appropriate to speak out, so they also whispered that they would protect them.

As soon as the tavern owner saw the appearance of these three people, he felt that they were people who had practiced kung fu for many years. Seeing the way they communicated with Tie Hongyan, he felt that they were very reliable, so a big stone fell to the ground in his heart.

After communicating with Tie Hongyan, the three masters went to different corners of the tavern.

Wu Xunsheng said to Tie Hongyan: "We may need to ask the boss to let us into the warehouse again."

When Tie Hongyan heard him say this and looked at his expression, he immediately realized that he must have other questions related to this matter to ask the boss.

Tie Hongyan said to the boss, "Would it be convenient for you to take us to the warehouse again?"

Seeing that the three people who were protecting him and the tavern came so quickly, and that Tie Hongyan kept his word and was so sincere, the boss agreed without even thinking: "Of course!"

After saying that, he immediately took Tie Hongyan and Wu Xunsheng into the warehouse.

"Do you have any other questions?" asked the boss.

At this time, Wu Xunsheng took out the brand he bought on the road and asked the boss: "Do you recognize this?"

Tie Hongyan didn't expect him to take this out at this time. He was a little surprised, but didn't ask him immediately.

As soon as the boss saw it, he nodded repeatedly and said, "I know it!" He looked at the sign carefully again and said, "This is it! This is what the murderer showed me the day before yesterday!"

"Are you sure?" Wu Xunsheng asked.
