Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

The guard disappeared...

Ji Xianchen seemed to remember something, his eyes darkened, and he slowly asked, "Has anyone in the outside world gone missing recently?"

Qin Shuheng didn't know why Ji Xianchen suddenly asked this question. He was stunned for a moment and replied, "Probably not. I haven't heard of such a thing."

As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly realized what Ji Xianchen might be suspecting, "You mean, those missing guards might have been captured by the Li tribe leader..."

He didn't say the rest because it didn't make sense.

"But didn't they say they would only capture martial artists under the age of twenty? Those guards are all over that age, right?"

This is also what Ji Xianchen couldn’t understand.

He rubbed his furrowed brows with his fingers, as if trying to find some reasonable explanation, "Maybe the situation has changed."

For now, this was the only possibility he could think of.

Qin Shuheng's expression became uglier. "You can't attack your own guards. If you ask me, no one with the surname 'Li' is a good person!"

As soon as he said this, he immediately saw Ji Xianchen giving him a warning look.

After realizing what was happening, Qin Shuheng quickly slapped his forehead and said, "I'm sorry, Third Brother, I'm too angry. I take back my last sentence. There are still good people in the Li family."

Isn’t Chief Bai from the Li family?

I was so angry just now that I forgot about it for a moment.

"But seriously, Third Brother, did you really break up with Chief Bai?" Qin Shuheng couldn't help but ask.

Qin Shuheng learned something about the grudge between Hua Xi and Ji Xianchen from Luo Han and others.

Ji Xianchen remained silent.

Seeing this, Qin Shuheng quickly comforted him: "Third brother, don't be too sad, it's not your fault. Who would have thought that Gu Tu was hiding next to you?"

Qin Shuheng is not like Ji Xianchen, Luo Han and others. Gu Tu was kind to them in educating them, but not to him. He has never left Xuanzhou since he was a child, so in his opinion, Gu Tu's image is just like what the outside world says, that is, a murderer.

However, he could understand Ji Xianchen's feelings. After all, it would be difficult for anyone to accept breaking up with the person they love.

"That's enough." Ji Xianchen finally spoke, looking reluctant to talk about it. "Let Xiaoliu find out why the guards disappeared. If it's really related to Li Qingchi, he can't kill so many people at once if he wants to take blood. We have to rescue Xiaowu as soon as possible."

Xiaowu is from Xuan Palace, and we must rescue him no matter what.

"Yes!"

Qin Shuheng turned and left, mumbling a few words before leaving, "Xiaowu, you have to hold on, we will come to find you soon."

"I don't know where Chief Bai is now. She doesn't seem like the type to sit and wait for death. The Li family has recently recruited new guards. Could she have already infiltrated them and become a guard?"

After taking a few steps, I suddenly heard Ji Xianchen say from behind: "Wait."

Qin Shuheng stopped, turned around and asked, "What's wrong, Third Brother?"

"What were you talking about just now?"

"What did I say?" Qin Shuheng didn't react at first, but then he understood, "Oh, I said that Chief Bai might have sneaked into the Li family as a guard."

Qin Shuheng observed Ji Xianchen's expression and thought: Are you anxious? Can't pretend anymore?

Admit it, you still care about Chief White.

"Third brother, do you have a new idea?"

Qin Shuheng's other abilities were average, but he was particularly good at observing people's words and expressions.

Ji Xianchen knew very well that Qin Shuheng had said those words to him on purpose. Besides, what he said made sense. It was possible that Hua Xi might really risk entering the Li family again.

After some thought, Ji Xianchen said, "Go to the black market and make a human skin mask for Xiaoliu. I will check it myself."

Qin Shuheng was not surprised at all when he heard Ji Xianchen's decision. "Okay!"

With the third brother taking action personally, we might soon get news about Xiaowu's whereabouts.

……

There is a vendor selling masks in the black market.

His stall was not big, but it was decorated extremely exquisitely. All around it were hung various masks, from classical to modern, from Chinese to Western, including the human skin mask that Ji Xianchen needed.

It can be customized. As long as you give him a clear photo of a person, he can make a realistic human skin mask according to your requirements.

Qin Shuheng quickly found the vendor.

"Patrolman Qin, where have you been recently? I haven't seen you for a while." The merchant greeted Qin Shuheng warmly when he saw him.

Qin Shuheng had been the patrol captain in the black market for half a year, so almost all the vendors here knew him.

"Uncle Cao, I'm no longer a patrolman. I've resigned." Qin Shuheng replied with a smile.

Uncle Cao was surprised. "Why did you quit your job? This job is so good."

Qin Shuheng looked mysterious, "That's because I found a better job."

Fearing that Uncle Cao would ask more questions, Qin Shuheng quickly said, "Let's not talk about this for now, Uncle Cao. I came here this time to ask you for help with something."

Uncle Cao said readily, "Okay, you tell me. As long as I can help, I will never refuse."

Qin Shuheng took out a photo of Xiaoliu from his pocket and handed it to Uncle Cao, "Uncle Cao, I want you to make a human skin mask based on the person in this photo."

Uncle Cao took the photo, adjusted his glasses and took a look at it, then raised his eyes to look at Qin Shuheng, "Good boy, the better job you mentioned is not this, right?"

Most of the people who asked him to customize human skin masks were either trying to avoid their enemies or to do some shameful things.

"Patrolman Qin, don't go down the wrong path." Uncle Cao said earnestly.

Qin Shuheng was in a state of confusion, and explained, "You misunderstood. I don't want to use this mask. I bought it for someone else."

"That's good." Uncle Cao was relieved and put the photo away. "I'll go back and make the mask tonight. You can come back tomorrow to get it."

Qin Shuheng: "Thank you, uncle."

Uncle Cao waved his hand and said, "Why are you being polite? You are the patron saint in the hearts of black market traders. I should be the one to thank you. You have helped me solve a lot of problems."

When doing business, it is inevitable to encounter some ruffians who come to cause trouble. Every time, Qin Shuheng comes forward to resolve the problem, which makes Uncle Cao and others very grateful to Qin Shuheng.

Qin Shuheng scratched his head embarrassedly: "Uncle Cao, please don't say that, it's all as it should be."

"How is your business lately?" As a courtesy, Qin Shuheng also showed concern for Uncle Cao.

"It's still the same. I only sell a few masks a day. But a few days ago, someone came to buy a human skin mask just like you."

Most of the customers who come here buy ordinary masks, and sometimes they don’t even sell a single human skin mask in a month.

Qin Shuheng was stunned when he heard Uncle Cao's words.

A few days ago, I bought a human skin mask...

Could this person be Chief Bai?

"What does that person look like?" Qin Shuheng asked anxiously.

Uncle Cao: "Why are you asking this? Do you know that person?"

Qin Shuheng nodded: "It's very likely that he knows me, uncle, please tell me quickly."

"I want to say it too, but I can't. This is the guest's privacy and I can't break the rules." Uncle Cao looked embarrassed.

After all, Qin Shuheng had been in the black market for half a year, so he naturally knew the rules of doing business for the vendors. He was just in a hurry and ignored this point.

"It's okay, uncle. I didn't think it through. I won't ask anymore."

It doesn’t matter if you don’t get the answer. Whether Chief Bai is at the Li family will be revealed after the third brother goes in as Xiaoliu.
