Chapter 23: Cover-up

Translator: TransnEditor: Transn

Butler Lin only wore a thin sleeping gown with his bloody body. His body was struck in the front yard, falling into the yard like an artillery shell and rolling two rolls on the ground with no sound.

It was because of such scene that Junior Leopard screamed with his full strength. He was really scared. He didn't want to die for no reason here.

He was screaming while darting into the room. He knew that there was a small rear window in the room. As long as he got out of the rear window, he would be freed from the big threat.

However, the threat he imagined did not come. He awoke his three roommates when darting into the room and then there was a great disorder. The fire was lit up, the ironware shop began to bustle. After a while, screams could be heard coming from the yard and then it calmed down gradually.

Junior Leopard did not jump out of the rear window eventually, because the killer was not interested in him at all.

It was obvious that Butler Lin and Old Xing were targets of the killer and now both of them were killed.

Old Xing was more miserable than Butler Lin. Old Xing's corpse was broken into two pieces and he died with a dark iron hammer in his left hand, and his two eyes were wide opened.

Although Junior Leopard had some bad ideas for the unusual performance of Old Xing in recent months, he had not thought of such a miserable result. Seeing Old Xing's corpse, Junior Leopard felt a rush of sadness into his heart. Although the time he got along with Old Xing was short, he had treated Old Xing as a mentor unknowingly; Old Xing, like a teacher, had taught him what he knew and learned with a hope that Junior Leopard could pass the selection of the Wu Family and complete his wish. However, before the day came, he died. He died miserably, which made Junior Leopard grieved. As such, Junior Leopard hated the unknown killer.

”10 years, within 10 years at most, I must find you out and cut you in half like what you did today!”

Junior Leopard swore in his heart. But then, what happened next made him dare not express his ideas and he did not even reveal a trace of sadness.

Butler Lin and Old Xing were spokesmen of the Wu Family's ironware shop in the whole Qingyang Market. Their death might be a hit in Qingyang Market, and created a tremendous buzz. After all, they were members of the Wu Family; it was natural that the local government dared not neglect the accident and took a full investigation. As the first witness on the spot, Junior Leopard was asked to go to the government several times as if they would catch the killer.

But it was strange that the incident was oppressed quickly and clarified as the act of bandits when new housekeeper and craftsman occurred in Qingyang Market. They even further found out pieces of evidence that Butler Lin and Old Xing embezzled money from the Wu Family's ironware shop which astonished people. After a period, no one would mention the incident except as after-dinner conversation.

uch result made Junior Leopard have to be wary, and he smelled a hint of intrigue.

Generally speaking, in such a well-known family, they would not let the incident go even if the bureaucrat in the local government had a little snub. If not, how to reveal the dignity of the well-known family? It was so abnormal that the Wu Family should throw itself dirty water and push the incident down.

Why? Only one reason could explain it. That was that the Wu Family wanted to cover up the incident.
