I survived as a female assassin

Chapter 127 The Death of Shopkeeper Guo

Seeing that something was wrong, Mu Yuan quickly flew down from the roof beam. He first checked on Manager Guo, and then found that Lao Liu's feet were still lying there motionless.

So he stepped on it and said, "Get out of here quickly, something happened!"

When Xia Houte heard Mu Yuan's voice, he could no longer hold back and shouted, "My foot is completely broken!"

"Hold on! Shopkeeper Guo seems to have been poisoned. Go call Doctor Qin."

Seeing that Manager Guo's face had turned blue and purple, Xiahou Rui immediately stopped talking and limped out.

At this moment, Jiemie suddenly appeared beside him and said, "Your Highness Prince Ning, let me do it for you."

Look, how can Jiemie be so considerate? So from now on, you must never judge people by their appearance.

Xiahou Rui turned back and followed Mu Yuan to check on Manager Guo's condition.

At this time, Manager Guo was beginning to lose consciousness, with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. He actually grinned with all his might.

Yu'er, how ironic! My prayers have worked, and now I'm about to meet you in the next life...

That day, Guo Zhen had breakfast with Yuzhinxian as usual. On the way back to Ningxiang Pavilion, he thought all the way and remembered what Yu'er had said to him.

"Brother Zhen, let's run away."

"I've been having nightmares lately, dreaming of tragic deaths..."

"Mu Hongrui has already found out about me. If I continue to stay in Luoxianyuan, I will definitely die!"

"Now that we have enough money, we don't need to do those shady things anymore."

"The only way to survive is to escape. If all else fails, we can head west and escape to the Western Regions. There won't be any forces of [Luo Yu] there, right?"

If he had hardened his heart and agreed to take her away from here, wouldn't he have died here...

Yu'er, please forgive Brother Zhen. I had no choice. You have never seen how terrifying the person above is. Brother Zhen has thought about the situation you described thousands of times.

All Brother Zhen can do is make your death less painful. If you are taken back to the organization, you will live a life worse than death.

I won't let you suffer that!

Just lie in my arms and die peacefully...

Immediately afterwards, a steady stream of blood flowed out of Yuzhixian's mouth and nose, and he couldn't wipe it off even with his sleeves.

Until that warm and soft body turned cold...

Only then did he realize that his Yu'er had completely left him.

When Shopkeeper Guo was dying, all he could think of was the scene of Yu Zanxian dying in his arms. It turned out that her death was not as peaceful as he thought. It hurt so much, my heart really hurt, but at least it was short-lived. Brother Zhen, I am here to accompany you now...

"Manager Guo?"

"Guo Zhen!"

Xia Hou Rui called out several times, but the man had no pulse. He couldn't help but curse, "Damn! We were about to take him back to the Dali Temple, but he died at this critical moment!"

"Who did it?"

Mu Yuan took out a white handkerchief, wiped the blood stains on the corner of Guo Zhen's mouth, and then smelled it.

Then he slowly spoke, "He was poisoned two hours ago. The person who poisoned him seemed to have timed it perfectly, causing him to die right next to the lily of the valley he had been raising."

"It's late at night now. Once the staff at Ningxiang Pavilion discover their owner is dead, it will be time for the opening."

"After reporting the case to the police, based on the scene, they'll definitely rule that he was accidentally poisoned by his own lily of the valley. It must have been an accident."

"This person has good means."

Xia Hou Rui nodded in agreement. "Second brother, what should we do now? How can we investigate this?"

Mu Yuan folded the handkerchief stained with Manager Guo’s blood and put it away.

"Send someone to investigate Guo Zhen's background. The more detailed the better. Also, check Luoxianyuan. They've been having an affair for so long, it's impossible that no one has seen them."

"Yes, second brother."

"So what should we do now? What about the body of Shopkeeper Guo?"

"Notify Qin Shaoqing and have him take charge of this matter."

Mu Yuan left Ningxiang Pavilion, thinking in his mind that there seemed to be a pair of eyes behind him, always watching him. The enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light, always one step late.

What can be confirmed now is that Guo Zhen is the murderer of Yuzhanxian. There are two possible motives for the murder, one is poisoning and the other is silencing.

Yuzhanxian was the one who poisoned him on the day he was murdered. Just when they were about to follow this clue to find out who instructed her to do so, she died without any warning.

It seems that the possibility of silencing is very high.

Just as the line was going down, it was cut off again...

I originally wanted to attack from both this line and [Falling Rain]. If this line is broken, then it is broken. The person who attacked him is closely related to [Falling Rain].

Xin Youran said she lost her memory. Will she really become a different person after losing her memory?

He had never seen that kind of cold look in Xin Youran's eyes...

"I need to understand [Rain] better..."

It sounded like Mu Yuan was talking to himself, but Xia Hourui heard it too. He reminded him with some concern, "Brother, Father once said that the imperial court would not interfere in the affairs of the martial arts world. And [Luo Yu] is a martial arts organization."

"Don't we have the right to investigate [Falling Rain]?"

"If it weren't for my father's imperial decree, I would have wanted to destroy that killer organization long ago!"

Mu Yuan looked at Xiahou Rui as if he was a fool. Could he destroy [Falling Rain] just like that?

He had discussed this matter with his father more than once, but he was rejected every time.

Until now, he still doesn't know why his father wanted to "protect" [Luo Yu].

"Sixth Brother, when you have nothing to do, use your brain more."

“I’ve always been in the light, and I almost forgot that those who stand in the light can also walk in the dark.”

Xiahou Rui stood there in a daze. By the time he figured it out, Mu Yuan had already walked a long way away.

He hurriedly limped after him, "Brother, where are you going? Wait for me!"

*

Xin Youran waited for a whole day but Manager Guo didn't show up. She was still wondering, this doesn't make sense. Could it be that Ningxiang Pavilion doesn't plan to become bigger and stronger?

Do you want to go to Ningxiang Pavilion to check out the situation?

As it turned out, Leng Yue had already returned from outside, and brought a bombshell: Manager Guo of Ningxiang Pavilion died in their reception room last night.

Xin Youran's mouth was so wide open in shock that an egg could almost fit in it.

"Shut your mouth quickly, aren't you going to look for Mu Yuan later?"

She had no time to think about looking for Mu Yuan. Her mind was full of questions.

"Manager Guo, he looked very young. How could he die so suddenly?"

"How did he die?"

"We were dining at the same table two days ago, and he looked so confident. He didn't look depressed at all."

"It shouldn't be suicide."

"Could it be homicide?!"
