Boss Qian's Suicide, Mystery of the Divine Axe Tattoo!

Lu Xiaofeng nodded, and immediately understood much more.

Boss Qian claimed his wife had leprosy, but in reality, he just didn't want anyone else to see her.

As for Xia'er... under surveillance, she couldn't leave Yunjian Temple at all. Plus, a girl changes a lot in eighteen years. In just a few short years, she had already undergone significant changes.

At this moment, even if Luo Ma saw Xia'er, he wouldn't actually recognize her.

Thinking about it this way, it was no wonder that when Hua Manlou came looking for Xia'er earlier, Boss Qian appeared not long after.

It seemed to be out of respect for the young master.

In reality, he was probably worried that Xia'er might reveal secrets while interacting with Hua Manlou, which was why he rushed over to control the situation.

"So they aren't actually my wife and children. But I have two concubines and several children outside... Hua family knows this, and so does the court!"

Boss Qian took out a dagger from his bosom, saying, "With these two as witnesses, it's enough to seal Luo Ma's guilt. Great Hero Lu, I beg you, on the grounds that I provided this evidence, to protect my family after I die..."

It is said that a dying man speaks kindly.

What's more, Boss Qian had proactively provided evidence.

Lu Xiaofeng felt a surge of compassion and quickly grabbed his hand, "What are you doing?"

"Committing suicide!"

Boss Qian said, "Before they catch up... otherwise, I won't even be able to do this."

"You... Hua Manlou wouldn't implicate your family, the Hua family..."

Lu Xiaofeng couldn't finish his sentence.

He believed in Hua Manlou's character and that he wouldn't make a decision that would harm his family, but he couldn't be sure about the other members of the Hua family.

Even if the entire Hua family could be trusted, what about the court?

The so-called "punishment of three generations" and "extermination of nine generations" were things the court was capable of!

In fact, Boss Qian's crimes were already at this level.

After all, the counterfeit banknote case concerned the nation's economic foundation, and if not handled carefully, it could even shake the national structure!

"Great Hero Lu, let go."

Boss Qian said, "I, Boss Qian, have been around for so many years and know more than just one or two secrets. If I were taken to the Six Doors prison, who knows how many people would be restless... Dying so decisively might be the best outcome for me!"

Lu Xiaofeng's expression was heavy.

He understood these practical issues, but he couldn't just stand by and watch the victim of this problem appear before his eyes.

Boss Qian pushed his hand away, then without further hesitation, plunged the dagger into his chest and fell to the ground, dead!

"It's here!"

A shout, and Wuyan led everyone out of the secret passage. They saw Lu Xiaofeng and Boss Qian, one standing, one lying down.

Luo Ma rushed forward, surprised, "What's going on? Boss Qian is dead?"

He squatted down to examine the body. Although the man had just died, he was indeed deceased.

To prevent any accidents, he even fumbled around the man's face for a moment, confirming that he wasn't wearing a mask, before finally feeling at ease.

At this moment, the others also quickly walked over.

"Dead?"

Jiang Long also squatted down to examine the body, saying with some helplessness, "He's really dead..."

The body could still be used to report back, but a living person was naturally better.

In officialdom, who didn't want to advance?

Zhou Ming also squatted down and touched the body. After standing up, his expression was a bit unpleasant, and he turned his head away, unable to look at the corpse.

"Young Master..."

Chun Hua whispered, gently patting Zhou Ming's back.

"It's alright, I'm just not used to it..."

Jiang Long saw this and thought, He really is the young master! Even though he's skilled in martial arts, he probably hasn't seen blood before and can't even handle a corpse.

He waved his hand, "Take the body away!"

The others could naturally see that he was trying to take care of Zhou Ming, and no one paid much attention to it.

Luo Ma said, "This Boss Qian is truly cunning. Who would have thought that he was behind the counterfeit banknote case?! He even almost got away! Fortunately, Great Hero Lu's Qinggong is extraordinary, and he managed to intercept Boss Qian and deal with him."

Lu Xiaofeng, having witnessed Boss Qian's suicide, felt a bit heavy-hearted, even though the man deserved his fate.

However, his psychological fortitude was excellent, and he had already recovered. Hearing this, he said, "Constable Luo misunderstands. I did catch up to Boss Qian, but Boss Qian wasn't killed by me; he committed suicide!"

Luo Ma's heart leaped.

Suicide?

He had assumed that these two had fought, and Lu Xiaofeng had subdued Boss Qian, but he hadn't expected Boss Qian to commit suicide!

Looking at the body, Boss Qian had only just died. Before his death, hadn't there been a period of time for him to communicate with Lu Xiaofeng...

No, stay calm!

Perhaps after the two fought, Boss Qian felt he was outmatched and had no hope of escape, so he committed suicide...

Or perhaps Lu Xiaofeng had only just caught up to Boss Qian...

Luo Ma reassured himself, saying, "So that's how it is. However, this also depends on whether Great Hero Lu could catch him. Now that Boss Qian is dead, this case can be closed!"

"You're wrong about that again. Although Boss Qian is dead, this case won't be closed yet. Because... the real mastermind behind it all has not been caught!"

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Who would have thought that behind this Counterfeit Banknote Case, it would be the Gold-Clad Constable of the Six Doors—Luo Ma!"

What?

Everyone was shocked!

They couldn't help but take two steps back, distancing themselves from Luo Ma.

Even Jiang Long, who was by his side, widened his eyes and looked at his companion in shock.

Luo Ma angrily retorted, "What nonsense are you talking about? The person behind Jile Tower is clearly Boss Qian! And Miss Wuyan can testify to that! Lu Xiaofeng, even if you are a famous hero in the world, you cannot slander a constable of the court."

Wuyan said, "Yes, Great Hero Lu, Boss Qian was the one who captured my father and forced him to make counterfeit banknotes. I won't be mistaken!"

"Heh heh..."

Lu Xiaofeng said, "Miss Wuyan, thank you for helping us crack Jile Tower. Here, I'd like to ask, what is your identity..."

"Me? I'm Yue Qing's daughter!"

Wuyan looked at Zhu Ting, "Uncle-Master, you can recognize me, right?"

"This... I haven't seen you in years, I can't recognize you," Zhu Ting quickly shook his head.

Lu Xiaofeng said, "In that case, Miss Wuyan, do you have anything to prove your identity?"

"This... how can I prove that I am myself? I still had a string of Buddhist prayer beads on me before, which I also gave to you. Other than that..."

Wuyan couldn't help but blush, "It's the Divine Axe Sect Tattoo on my body. Didn't you see it before?"

Lu Xiaofeng smiled but didn't reply. He still looked at Zhu Ting and said, "Zhu Ting, do you understand now?"

Zhu Ting's face revealed a look of understanding, "So that's how it is... Miss Wuyan, perhaps you do have that tattoo on your body, but there's one thing I must tell you. Yue Qing's daughter is not a member of our Divine Axe Sect!"

"What?!" Wuyan was shocked.

Luo Ma's expression also changed greatly, "How can Yue Qing's daughter not be a member of the Divine Axe Sect?"

Zhu Ting said, "There has never been a rule in the world that if a father joins a sect, his children must also join. Yue Qing is indeed a member of the Luban Divine Axe Sect, and his daughter has learned many of the Luban Divine Axe Sect's techniques. However, she never joined the Luban Divine Axe Sect. Naturally, there would be no need for her to have any tattoo mark on her body!"
