Seven-star Sword Master

Chapter 177 Succubus

The steward glanced at the crowd around him. His face was very unpleasant. He knew that this matter could not be concealed, so he ordered a thug behind him:

"Go report to the police!"

After saying that, he glared at the waiter fiercely. His ferocious eyes seemed to say, I'll settle the score with you later!

After the waiter met the steward's gaze, he began to tremble with fear all over. A sense of fear from the depths of his soul instantly spread throughout his body. He was very aware of the steward's ruthless methods.

The manager felt helpless as well. This kind of thing was not commonplace in Chunhua Tower, but one or two cases would happen occasionally every once in a while.

In the past, they kept similar incidents a secret and would secretly dispose of the bodies after the guests had left.

But this time it was revealed by the waiter, and now everyone knows about it.

When he thought of this, the steward seemed to have endless anger burning in his heart.

It doesn't take much thought to know that after the guests leave, this matter will definitely be spread to everyone.

By then, Chunhualou will surely lose a large number of customers in a short period of time, and the business of the building will plummet.

If someone with ulterior motives were to take advantage of this incident to cause trouble, what he feared most was that Chunhua Tower would never recover!

Just as his mind was racing with thoughts, a child hurriedly ran down from the third floor.

When the waiter came to the steward, he first bowed to him, then walked quickly forward and whispered a few words in the steward's ear.

After hearing the waiter's question, his eyes rolled and soon a bold decision came to his mind.

He turned around and instructed several of his subordinates:

"You stay here, no one is allowed to get close."

Then he went up to the third floor with the waiter.

"Master Zhou."

After seeing Fatty Zhou, he immediately waved away the waiter who brought him here.

"What happened?"

The steward quickly stepped forward and bowed to Fatty Zhou, saying:

"Master Zhou, someone has died on the second floor, and this time it was discovered by someone downstairs. Master Zhou, you have to help this old slave this time!"

Fatty Zhou frowned, pointed to the second floor which was surrounded by a crowd and said:

"There are so many people watching, how do you want me to help you?"

"There's a show!"

When the manager heard this, he knew that as long as the other party found his idea feasible, then this difficult time could be overcome safely!

So he quickly invited Fatty Zhou to a room with five people, leaned over and whispered in his ear:

"Master Zhou, all you have to do is this. When the constables come, I will ask them to report that it was the demon tribe that was causing trouble and you just happened to come out to stop it..."

Afterwards, the manager told Fatty Zhou his plan in detail.

Fatty Zhou frowned and was about to scold when he suddenly felt something stuffed into his hand.

As he mentioned the weight of the item in his hand, he subconsciously glanced at his hand.

At this time, a voice came from my ear:

“Master Zhou, I have saved some money over the years, and there are five gold coins in it.

I hope you can lend me a helping hand this time. If I can get through this crisis safely, I will take care of the girls in the building from now on."

Fatty Zhou shook the object in his hand, his eyes wandering as he fell into deep thought;

To be honest, these five gold coins are a considerable income for him.

Although he seems to be enjoying a great life working for a noble family, the reality is not so. His salary from the Inspection Office is ten silver coins per month, and the salary from the noble family is also ten silver coins per month. By this calculation, these five gold coins are almost two years' income for him.

Finally, Fatty Zhou gritted his teeth and said:

"Do you know who's sitting inside?"

"Cock!"

The manager suddenly felt something was wrong!

He knew that one of them was a third-rank patrol guard and the other was the chief steward of the Si Mansion.

Finally, he gritted his teeth and reluctantly took out another purse from his pocket:

"Master Zhou, there are seven gold coins in here. They are all my belongings."

Fatty Zhou calmly took the purse and said:

"Okay, go ahead and do your work, and leave the rest to me!"

Fatty Zhou returned to the room, took out a purse and threw it on the table, saying calmly:

"Brother Ma, Brother Lu, someone is here to give us money."

Then he took out nine gold coins from his purse and distributed them in the numbers of three, three, two and one.

Lu Feipeng and Ma Jinbao are third, Fatty Zhou himself is second, and the first one naturally needs no mention, it must be Zhou Yiming's.

Lu Feipeng stared at the gold coin for a while, then he looked at Ma Jinbao.

To be honest, he was a little confused about what Fatty Zhou meant.

Ma Jinbao gave Lu Feipeng a subtle look, meaning: Don't be impatient, let me do it.

Then he looked at Fatty Zhou and said:

"Brother Zhou, what's this?"

In fact, Ma Jinbao knew in his heart that someone wanted their help.

However, he would not agree until he knew the details.

What's more, his question was very obscure, and the general meaning was: You are the one who said everything, I don't know.

If something happens in the future, you will have to bear the consequences yourself. Brother, please clear yourself out of this matter first before I can help you speak for you!

Fatty Zhou said solemnly:

"Brother Ma, someone just died downstairs. I took a quick look and it seems that there is a demon causing trouble!"

"Oh? Is this true? Since you discovered it, Brother Zhou, I'll leave this matter to you to handle!"

After saying that, Ma Jinbao calmly pushed the gold coins in front of Lu Feipeng into Lu Feipeng's hand, and then put the gold coins in front of him into the storage bag.

Seeing this, Fatty Zhou's face lit up with joy, and he thought to himself:

"That's it!"

This scene stunned Lu Feipeng and Zhou Yiming, who had just joined the Inspection Department two days ago.

There was a voice in both of their hearts:

"What's going on? How come gold coins are delivered to me out of nowhere?"

What they didn't know was that Ma Jinbao and Fatty Zhou were playing a guessing game.

Ma Jinbao was vague and Fatty Zhou was evasive, and the two of them used this opportunity to reach an agreement on the matter.

In this way, even if something happens, Ma Jinbao and the others can say they knew nothing about it and that Fatty Zhou is handling it himself.

……

On the second floor, after receiving the report, Chief Constable Ding Zhichang led all his subordinates to Chunhua Tower.

The steward took Ding Zhichang to a private room, handed him a bag containing ten silver coins, and said to him:

"Captain Ding, thank you for your help this time."

Ding Zhichang had been in office for more than ten years, so how could he not know the twists and turns involved? He just accepted the money bag without saying a word.

"How?"

He is familiar with this matter!

He led his men to the crime scene, where they saw a handsome young man lying on the couch with a pale face.

With just one glance, Ding Zhichang knew in his heart that this pretty boy with greasy hair and powdered face must have died of exhaustion due to excessive indulgence.

"Oh no, there might be a demon. Everyone, evacuate outside first."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ding Zhichang and his subordinates fled outside.

All the people outside who were watching the excitement immediately became panicked and stepped back uncontrollably.

"The Rapid Inspection Division invites the Inspection Guards..."

However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the steward beside him.

"Captain Ding, please wait. There are several officials from the Inspection Office in the private room on the third floor."

"Oh, really?"

Ding Zhichang's face lit up with joy, and he urged:

"Butler, take me there quickly,"

As expected, once this plan came out, the panicked crowd around quickly calmed down.

Soon, they invited Fatty Zhou to come down, and Fatty Zhou pretended to be very good and used talismans to fool some people.

Just when he was about to call it a day, he caught a glimpse of something unusual out of the corner of his eye.

"Ok?"

In an instant, he shuddered, and his body, which was numbed by alcohol, immediately sobered up.

"No way?"

Fatty Zhou felt secretly bitter in his heart. He felt that things were not as simple as he thought.

"Captain Ding has sealed off the scene. I'll be right back."

After saying that, he ran to the third floor like a flash.

Seeing Fatty Zhou coming back, Ma Jinbao said in a fake tone:

"Old Zhou, was the demon dealt with so quickly?"

Fatty Zhou wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said anxiously:

"Brother Ma, Brother Lu, something really happened this time, a monster really appeared!"

"what?"

When these words came out, the three of them were shocked and quickly sat up from their stools and looked at Fatty Zhou and asked:

"Really?"

Fatty Zhou nodded vigorously and said:

"It's true. It couldn't be more true. If I remember correctly, this matter should be related to the succubus that specializes in absorbing people's spiritual energy."

"Succubus?"

The information about succubus suddenly emerged in Ma Jinbao's mind.

"Succubi are born to feed on human essence. As long as they continue to devour essence, they will advance faster and faster. Could it be that the deceased was sucked to death due to exhaustion of essence?"

"Yes, that's the succubus."

"Brother Zhou, take me to have a look."

Upon hearing that there really were demons appearing, Lu Feipeng immediately picked up the Seven-Star Sword beside him and strode out.

"Brother Lu, wait for me."

After Zhou Yiming reacted, he first apologized to Ma Jinbao, and then hurriedly chased after Lu Feipeng.

The three of them came to the crime scene on the second floor, and Ding Zhichang saw the third-level patrol guard who impressed him.

He recognized this terrifyingly powerful man at the first moment, and took two steps forward to greet him.

The manager standing by didn't know what was going on, but he knew that in order to get the job done well, Fatty Zhou specially asked the third-level patrol guard in front of him to come out and keep order.

At this moment, my gratitude towards Fatty Zhou became even stronger.

Walking into the room, Lu Feipeng holding the Seven Star Knife asked Fatty Zhou:

"Brother Zhou, where is the succubus?"

"Yes! It's the black lotus."

Fatty Zhou pointed to the Feng Shui scroll next to the corpse. There was a very conspicuous black lotus in the scroll.

"Humph!"

Lu Feipeng is skilled and brave, give her a fireball and ask her to get out!

Lu Feipeng didn't know how to cast the fireball spell, so he asked Zhou Yiming, who was very happy, to cast a fireball spell.

"it is good!"

The next moment, a fireball the size of a double fist shot out from his palm and shot towards the Feng Shui painting.

"boom……"

The Feng Shui scroll was instantly burned to ashes

"what…"

The next moment, the black lotus in the scroll screamed and flew out of the scroll, transforming into a seductive beauty in scantily clad clothes.
