Boss Hu is dead?
Even the Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin had disappeared!
Not to mention the Second Leader and the others, even Wu Ji himself felt that it was a little unbelievable at this moment. Although the Eight Neonate Carrying the Dragon Coffin was indeed a little strange, it couldn't be so strange that it killed Boss Hu after following him for a night, right?
"What's going on?" Wu Ji asked. The Second Head shook his head and said,"I'm not too sure either. I only got the news this morning. It would probably not be long before the people from the police station came over. Boss Hu is a famous wealthy businessman in the country. Moreover, he died just after filming the Eight Neonate Carrying the Dragon Coffin. I'm afraid we have to cooperate with the official's investigation.”
Wu Ji nodded. This matter was no longer as simple as the death of a wealthy businessman, because he had already established a relationship with Wu Ji. Even if one used their toes to think, one would know that there would definitely be people who would start to make wild guesses and say that Boss Hu had provoked a bloody disaster because of that coffin.
If that happened, Wu Ji would probably not even be able to think of auctioning off a single item in the future.
He was too lazy to wait for the people from the police station to come, so Wu Ji said,""Do you know where Boss Hu lives? Let's go and take a look first. We'll see if it has anything to do with the Eight Neonate carrying the dragon coffin.”
"Okay, he stayed at the Grand Country Hotel, but his body has been taken away by the police. Are we going to the restaurant or directly to the police station?”The Second Leader asked.
Wu Ji thought for a moment and said,"If the Eight Neonate carried the dragon coffin and attracted the demons and monsters to take his life, there would definitely be traces of resentment in his room." If it's man-made, then it has nothing to do with us.”
"Alright, let's go to the restaurant now. I hope that this matter won't be deliberately used by someone to smear our reputation. Otherwise, our reputation will immediately be ruined.”
With that, everyone went to the Great Country Hotel where Boss Hu was staying.
However, there were already some reporters surrounding the restaurant. The second-in-charge took a look and said,"Let's go in from the side door. This way, let alone going in to investigate, the reporters will probably be annoyed to death.”
Wu Ji nodded quietly and the car stopped at the side door. As soon as they entered the Great Country Hotel, the manager of the hotel came over with a solemn expression."Mr. Wu, you've finally come for the entire morning. I haven't even taken a breath!”
"Everyone understands this. Manager Huang, let's go to Boss Hu's room first. Mr. Wu could determine whether it was man-made or something else had really happened.”The second head said. The person in charge of the restaurant did not say anything else and quickly invited them upstairs.
When he reached the door, Wu Ji took out the Black Tortoise Compass. The Black Tortoise Compass could identify the location of demons and monsters, and it could also detect the evil aura inside.
If there really was a ghost attack last night, then there must be some residual evil energy in this room.
Opening the door, Wu Ji looked at the closed curtains and asked,""Manager Huang, has anyone opened the curtains before?”
"No, Mr. Wu. Other than the people from the police station, no one else came in. In order to preserve the scene, the police station did not touch anything.”
Wu Ji nodded and walked in silently. The Black Tortoise Compass in his hand didn't rotate for a moment, which meant that no ghosts had appeared.
However, it was difficult to guarantee that it was the dissipation of ghostly Qi, so Wu Ji did not rush to make a conclusion after entering.
After circling around the room, he put away the Black Tortoise Compass and said,"Someone came in and killed Boss Hu, then took away the Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin.”
Wu Ji's tone was filled with certainty. The Second Leader and the others heaved a sigh of relief and asked,"The Eight Neonate needs thirty-two people to lift the dragon coffin at the same time. It's a problem to carry the coffin downstairs.”
"Look at the size of the window. Can you hang the Eight Neonate Dragon Coffin down?”Wu Ji smiled faintly.
The fifth head saw this and walked over to measure it with his arm. Then, he nodded and said,"It can be hung vertically, but transporting it away is still a big problem. Moreover, it would take thirty-two people to lift it!”
"Don't forget that Boss Hu has eight bodyguards with him!”The Sixth Leader also reminded.
Wu Ji smiled bitterly and asked the Sixth Leader: "Sixth Leader, how many people do you think would be needed to carry an expert like you?”
The Sixth Leader's eyes slightly bulged, and he said,""Seven or eight!"
"He schemed to harm his master!" The Second Head exclaimed.
"There must be a traitor among them, but if all eight bodyguards betrayed, why would those people wait until the end of the auction before taking action? Therefore, there must be other helpers in the outside world. If they worked together inside and outside, it would be perfect if they had another car.”
As Wu Ji spoke, he looked at Manager Huang. The latter thought for a moment and said,"There was indeed a big truck that came to the restaurant last night, but it shouldn't be. It was a Japanese car.”
" What's going on?" Wu Ji's eyes narrowed." Second Leader, it's your turn now. Go investigate the relationship between Boss Hu and the Japanese." It would be best to find out why the Japanese killed Boss Hu!”
The Second Head was still a little stunned and asked,""You mean the Japanese killed Boss Hu?”
"What else? Last night, only your car came, and it was a big truck. Only a big car can pull the huge dragon coffin carrying eight infants away, and I guess the grudge between Boss Hu and the Japanese lies in the word money!”
The moment Wu Ji finished his words, the door had been pushed open. The head of Zhang Clan in military uniform walked in and said calmly,""There's no need to investigate. The Japanese once asked Boss Hu to invest 200,000 yuan to build a railway. After being rejected by Boss Hu, they were killed.”
The appearance of Head Zhang shocked the Second Head and the others, but Wu Ji's expression was still very calm. He smiled and said,""I really didn't expect Boss Hu to be such a noble person.”
In this era, Japan had already reached into the Central Plains, but the war had not yet erupted.
Head Zhang smiled coldly and said,""If he really had a noble character, he wouldn't have died so quickly. He's just a miser. He wanted to remain neutral and wait for the situation to clear up before deciding whether he would join the Japanese or the government, so this guy was not as noble as you think.”
Wu Ji suddenly understood and asked again,"Boss Hu, you should be from Beiping, right?"”
"What do you want to ask?"
"Since it was for money, then the original idea of killing for the Eight Neonate carrying the dragon coffin is not valid. However, they still moved the coffin away. Then, they would definitely move it somewhere else in the next second. If he wanted to hide such a heavy thing from the eyes and ears of others, what kind of transportation tool did the boss think was more suitable?”
Head Zhang frowned and said,""Train!"
"Greed is not enough. If we don't take away the Eight Neonate Carrying the Dragon Coffin, no one will know it was them. Boss, check and see if there are any Japanese on the train to Peiping. If you don't find out, it won't be easy for you to be a defense officer!”
Head Zhang shook his head slightly as if he was bitter, then turned around and said with a smile,""If you're interested, just wait. I'll get someone to send the news over.”
