Chapter 570: Severed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
The funeral procession was very eye-catching. As soon as they appeared, they attracted the attention of the soldiers.
Qin Jun knew that if he turned around and left now, it would be equivalent to telling everyone that they were very suspicious.
So he could only suppress the uneasiness in his heart and carry on walking with the memorial tablet.
Behind him, ten people carried the heavy coffin. The others were dressed in mourning and crying as they scattered paper money.
Since everyone had to be interrogated, they could only be allowed to leave the city after confirming that there were no problems.
This process was slower, so there was a long line of people leaving the city.
When it was the funeral procession’s turn, it was an hour later.
Qin Jun’s eyes were red and swollen, and his face was covered in a beard. He hugged the memorial tablet tightly with both hands. His voice was hoarse and filled with tears.
“I came here from elsewhere to do business. I didn’t expect my father to suddenly contract an evil illness and die. His only last wish when he was alive was to return to his roots. I have to send him back to his hometown. Please let us pass quickly. I’ll kowtow to you!”
With that, he knelt down and his head hit the ground.
The soldiers were not buying it. Not only did they have to check all their travel passes and luggage, but they also had to open the coffin to check.
Qin Jun’s dissuasion was useless. In the end, he could only pretend to be extremely angry and let the soldiers open the coffin. There was only the cold corpse of an old man in the coffin.
The soldiers found nothing.
They did not stop there. Then, they took out the wanted posters and began to compare them to the people in the funeral procession.
Qin Jun was the first.
Qin Jun stood rooted to the ground and cried until he was out of breath. He kept calling out for his father.
Originally, his eyes were identical to the assassin’s eyes on the wanted poster.
But now his eyes were red and swollen and completely out of shape. They were very different from the man in the wanted poster.
The soldiers looked left and right but could not recognize him.
The others in the funeral procession were the same. Their eyes were red and swollen from crying.
The soldiers compared them but could not find anyone similar.
Qin Jun thought that he had bluffed his way through.
Unexpectedly, one of the soldiers said, “The higher-ups have instructed that, in the next two days, if more than ten persons want to leave the city, no matter their identity, they have to be detained first. They can only be released after capturing the real assassin. Everyone, I’m sorry. I have to trouble you to stay in the government office for a few days.”
Qin Jun was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
He did not hesitate to use chili to make his eyes red and swollen
Such a hard-working performance was all useless!
If he had known earlier, he wouldn’t have wasted his time!
It was impossible to beg the government office. It was impossible to leave in this life!
Qin Jun suddenly threw the memorial tablet at the soldier closest to him. Then, he pulled out the short dagger hidden in his sleeve and stabbed it into the soldier’s heart!
Instantly, blood splattered.
The commoners screamed in fear and fled with their heads in their hands.
At this moment, Qin Jun had completely torn off his disguise and revealed his ferocious appearance.
He led his assassins and rushed forward. Whether the people blocking his way were soldiers or ordinary people, he would kill anyone he saw!
Fortunately, Xiao Juan was nearby. When he heard the commotion, he immediately rushed to the city gate.
His gaze swept past the chaotic crowd and quickly locked onto Qin Jun. He immediately pulled out the No Return Saber and flew over with Qinggong. The blade was wrapped in a biting cold killing intent as it approached Qin Jun!
Qin Jun reacted quickly and turned around to block.
The blades collided. There was a clang and sparks flew.
It was a battle of strength.
In the end, the No Return Saber was superior.
The blade of the short knife in Qin Jun’s hand gradually bent, and with a crack, it broke into two!
Xiao Juan still wanted to know the mastermind from Qin Jun and could not take his life for the time being. Therefore, he restrained his strength in time the moment the No Return Saber landed.
The No Return Saber suddenly stopped.
At this moment, the blade was less than an inch away from Qin Jun’s face.
Qin Jun looked at the sharp blade in front of him. This was the first time he had faced death so close. His heart involuntarily beat faster, and his breathing quickened.
When the other assassins saw that their boss had almost been killed, they stopped moving and did not dare to act rashly.
The soldiers took the opportunity to evacuate the people and then surrounded the assassins.
Xiao Juan looked at the pale and stiff Qin Jun and asked coldly.
“Who instructed you to kill us?”
Qin Jun spoke with difficulty. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
Xiao Juan said, “You’ve been secretly following us. You killed Sun Dalang’s family and Li Jia because you didn’t want us to continue investigating.”
Qin Jun said, “If you want to kill, kill. You don’t have to tell me this.”
Xiao Juan said, “I know you’ve all been professionally trained. You’re not afraid of death. It doesn’t matter. Our Justice Department specializes in cracking tough nuts, especially ones like you. There’s no mouth in this world we can’t pry open.”
With that, he gave the order to bring all these assassins back!
The soldiers were about to kidnap him when at a critical moment, an arrow suddenly shot out from the dark and pierced through Qin Jun’s heart!
The soldiers were frightened by this sudden change.
The other assassins seized the opportunity and slit their own throats.
In just a moment, everyone fell into a pool of blood.
Xiao Juan was the first to react.
He rushed forward and squatted beside Qin Jun.
“The mastermind has already wanted to silence you
Qin Jun was already prepared to die, but he did not expect to die at the hands of his own people.
This made him very indignant.
He opened his mouth and struggled to make a sound.
‘Wait…’
Xiao Juan immediately leaned over and listened carefully.
However, before Qin Jun could say a second word, he had already died.
When Yu Niaoniao and Lo Pingsha rushed over, they saw corpses all over the ground.
This bloody scene stunned them for a moment.
Xiao Juan had already ordered someone to search the vicinity, wanting to find the person who had hidden in the dark and shot the arrow just now. In the end, he found nothing.
This made Xiao Juan’s heart sink and his expression turned ugly.
He spoke to Yu Niaoniao.
“Our leads are cut off again.”
Every time they felt that they were one step closer to the truth, the clues would be forcefully cut off.
It was as if an invisible hand had blocked their way.
Yu Niaoniao did not give up and asked, “Did the assassin leave any clues before he died?”
Xiao Juan said, “Before he died, he said the word ‘wait’. I don’t know what he meant.”
Yu Niaoniao pondered carefully. A blurry thought flashed across her mind, but she could not grasp it.
At this moment, Lo Pingsha walked over.
He was still holding the arrow he had pulled from Qin Jun’s heart. The arrowhead was stained with blood.
“It’s just an ordinary arrow. There’s no mark on it..”
