57: The Evil Omen Must Die (Part 3)_1
The Night Watchman stared at Fu Qian incredulously for a long time. After confirming that he wasn’t seeing things, Su Gao bowed deeply to Fu Qian.
And with Su Gao’s bow, the restaurant fell silent once again.
The self-proclaimed expert actually knew Executioner Yan!
Moreover, judging by Executioner Yan’s demeanor, he seemed to hold him in high regard.
This change left the two ordinary soldiers dumbfounded, with the elder one’s mouth hanging open in shock.
Fu Qian wasn’t concerned about this at all.
He actually still remembers me!
This warehouse is really not simple at all!
“I haven’t had the chance to thank you for the last operation before you disappeared.
Afterwards, I thought that if it weren’t for Mr. Fu’s guidance, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
We tried to look for you afterward but never found any trace of you. We even thought that the injuries on you had flared up… It’s really great to see that you’re okay.”
Su Gao was visibly agitated, spewing words that she might have kept inside for a whole year.
“Thank you for your concern!”
So they all remember, huh? And from what he said, after I completed the mission, my teleportation seemed to them like a sudden disappearance? They didn’t notice any special anomalies.
A multitude of information flashed through Fu Qian’s mind in an instant, but on the outside, he just nodded and casually greeted.
“And there’s no need for such formality, just call me Fu Qian!”
“I also thought I was a goner last time; I didn’t expect to be so fortunate to survive. My injuries have healed a long time ago, and I can only say that what goes around comes around.”
Fu Qian unabashedly promoted himself as being on the side of justice without blushing.
Uh-huh!
In response to Fu Qian’s vague statements, Su Gao had no doubts, only nodding seriously in agreement.
Then she suddenly thought of something, her eyes lighting up.
“You appearing here this time, you wouldn’t have come to handle the Evil Omen, would you?”
“Indeed!”
Just as he had expected, this would save him a lot of trouble, and Fu Qian nodded his head in extreme satisfaction.
This person’s goals were aligned with his own.
A look of pleasant surprise appeared on Su Gao’s face as a wave of certainty solidified in her heart.
“That’s fantastic!”
Her voice even had a tinge of excitement, but she quickly regained her composure, pointing in the direction of the beheaded woman.
“What do you think about this situation?”
“I only came here to dine today, just keep doing what you’re doing.”
Fu Qian had little interest in the bloodshed occurring before him and intended only to be an observer, thus he enigmatically replied.
“Understood.”
Su Gao didn’t mind Fu Qian’s evasion at all, again focusing her attention on the crime scene.
Her last experience had given her an almost blind trust in Fu Qian.
“Mr. Fu?”
The two ordinary soldiers approached cautiously at this time.
Su Gao’s attitude towards Fu Qian had startled them.
From the sound of it, this person even once gave substantial help to Executioner Yan?
No wonder he exuded an aura of unfathomable depth.
“I am Lu Jun, an official member of the Night Watchman Squad of Xi Yuan City. I was a bit disrespectful just now, please don’t take it to heart,”
After hesitating repeatedly, Soldier A finally apologized earnestly.
In the High Martial World, the basic law of respect for the strong still prevails.
Although as a member of the Night Watchman, Lu Jun was not necessarily afraid of Fu Qian, respect for the powerful was almost something etched into his bones.
“It’s no problem.”
Fu Qian would not bother himself with this gentleman, for he always considered himself a reasonable person.
He was very clear about how much hatred his previous self-absorbed attitude at the crime scene could draw, and it was only natural to arouse suspicion.
If this gentleman had shown no reaction at all, that would have been an incompetence of its own.
Seeing that Fu Qian was so easy to talk to, Brother Lu Jun visibly relaxed, refocusing on the case at hand.
“The situation has been clarified. The victim’s name was Geng Yue, a married woman. The lunch today had been reserved two weeks in advance, but the other person never showed up, and she had been waiting here for about half an hour.”
