After hearing this question, Master Gu’s eyes inevitably revealed a trace of panic. If he only despised the police and did not want to interact too much with them, then that person was a shadow that enveloped Master Gu’s heart. It made him unable to eat well these two days, unable to sleep, and on tenterhooks!
Master Gu did not want to have any contact with these two parties. Therefore, facing Zhou Xiaoxiao’s question, Master Gu naturally did not want to answer.
However, he also knew that it he did not answer clearly, the police would definitely co looking for him. He was extrely annoyed.
Therefore, after thinking for a mont, Master Gu still recalled and said, “I didn’t see clearly. It was too dark and his face was covered, but I can confirm that it was a man. He should be relatively young. He was the one who injured . At that ti, I was so frightened that I didn’t dare to go out for the entire night. Now, I can’t reconnect my ears at all.”
After saying that, Master Gu covered his ears with an uncomfortable expression. His words were half-truths, so Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally could not tell at once. She asked again, “What weapon did he use?”
Master Gu was stunned for a mont. He touched his ear and pondered for a long ti. “To be honest, I really don’t know. It was too dark at that ti, and he was too fast. He pointed at from at least ten ters away. I didn’t know what happened before my ear fell off!”
Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao could not help but be a little shocked. She knew that this weapon was powerful. After all, it had killed many criminals in a row and caused fatal injuries. However, after hearing Master Gu’s description, she was still shocked.
Was this weapon so difficult to detect? Or was it impossible to guard against?
Zhou Xiaoxiao frowned and said, “Are you sure? Is it that simple?”
Master Gu said impatiently, “Do I need to lie to you? I’m still puzzled. It doesn’t look like a cold weapon. But if you say it’s a gun, yet there’s no movent.” As he spoke, Master Gu unwrapped the gauze and showed it to Zhou Xiaoxiao. “Do you see that? This incision, this standard, is even more stable than a doctor’s scalpel!”
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoxiao was shocked. Although she could not see any details, she could sense that the incision on this ear was very flat. It was similar to the fatal injuries on the tomb robber’s body from before. She could basically conclude that this mysterious person who was looking for Master Gu was very likely related to a third party.
Zhou Xiaoxiao knew that this must be an important breakthrough. She turned to Master Gu and continued to ask, “Then what’s his motive for looking for you?”
There was no such thing as coming to the door for no reason. Just like himself, there must be a reason. Moreover, the other party could cut off one of Master Gu’s ears. Clearly, he was not a good person. It was impossible for him to co to the door to chat, right?
Master Gu’s expression darkened slightly. He knew that he only had two choices now.
Tell the truth or lie.
After hesitating for a mont, Master Gu said truthfully, “He asked about the whereabouts of a group of tomb raiders.”
Master Gu knew that he could not hide it at this ti. Otherwise, he would easily get into trouble. Pig Head Rong and the others were all dead. Even if one or two of them escaped, they would not be able to achieve anything. They were not afraid of their revenge at all. From the looks of it, the police took this matter very seriously. It would be even more troubleso if they targeted them.
Master Gu naturally knew which was more important.
At this mont, Zhou Xiaoxiao narrowed her eyes and asked coldly, “Pig Head Rong?”
Master Gu nodded. “That’s right!” As soon as he finished speaking, he quickly added, “But how would I know where he is! I’m a businessman who earns a living in this road. I deal with antiques all year round and only have more gossip. But they’re tomb raiders. How would I know the whereabouts of these infamous tomb raiders? I have no contact with them!”
Zhou Xiaoxiao naturally would not listen to Master Gu’s words. She also knew that it was very difficult for you to do anything to a ‘businessman’ like Master Gu. He was too oily.
Seeing Zhou Xiaoxiao thinking, Master Gu plated the walnut in his hand and said impatiently, “That’s enough, Officer. I’ve told you all the clues I can.”
“One last thing.” As Zhou Xiaoxiao spoke, she suddenly changed the topic and asked, “Yesterday, when you were in a conflict with the university student, why did you take the initiative to leave after seeing that young man called Su Yun appear?”
Master Gu was stunned. Clearly, he did not expect Zhou Xiaoxiao to ask this unrelated question. However, Zhou Xiaoxiao had clearly done a detailed investigation before she ca. After all, the teacher from Hibiscus University had helped Xu Jiajia call the police that day.
Naturally, Zhou Xiaoxiao had already asked them about what happened that day and knew about the conflict on the antique street.
“At that ti, I didn’t want the matter to blow up. After all, I was in the wrong first. After understanding the reason, I definitely couldn’t cheat other students. Wouldn’t that ruin my business? Therefore, I slapped that stall owner a few tis and asked him to apologize.” Master Gu replied matter-of-factly.
“Is that so?” Zhou Xiaoxiao did not believe him at all. She said solemnly, “But according to our investigation, you seed to be very afraid of Su Yun at that ti?”
Master Gu’s face darkened. “Which grandson is talking nonsense? Who have I, Old Gu, been afraid of in Burning Light Ancient City? Antique experts from all over the world have to pay money when they co to my shop to buy goods. Who in the industry doesn’t call Master Gu?”
However, seeing that Zhou Xiaoxiao was staring at him, Master Gu gradually could not continue. In the end, he sighed and gritted his teeth. “It’s Pig Head Rong who’s looking for him. I don’t want to get involved. I’m afraid of taking the bla, so I didn’t provoke that Su Yun..”
