Chapter 617 - 617 Thousand-faced Man
617 Thousand-faced Man
“22, why did you kill Jiang Tianping?” Hearing the noise, little 22 rushed back from the garden in a daze.
However, as soon as he appeared at the door of the woodshed, little 16 rushed over and grabbed him by the collar in a fit of rage. He shouted angrily, ” little 22, why did you betray the general? Why did you betray the general?” He asked twice in a row.
Little twenty-two was confused. He looked at little sixteen, who was angry at him, in confusion. Then, he looked at the other brothers who were glaring at him. He asked in confusion, ” brother sixteen, what’s wrong? What’s wrong with…”
Little 16 scolded angrily, ” you still have the nerve to ask what’s wrong? We should be the ones asking you what’s wrong. Why did you betray the general and kill Jiang Tianping? Don’t you know that the great general is going to ask Jiang Tianping about the person behind this?”
Little 22 still did not understand what was going on, but when he came to his senses, he was shocked. His eyes widened in disbelief and he immediately asked loudly, ” brother 16, what did you say? You said Jiang Tianping is dead? How was that possible? Wasn’t he locked up in the woodshed? How did he suddenly die?”
Little 16 and his brothers saw that little 22’s expression did not seem to be fake and immediately felt a little suspicious. However, they still looked at little 22 doubtfully. Then, with an expression of disbelief, they said loudly, ” You’re pretending. You’re pretty good at pretending, aren’t you? You’re the one who killed Jiang Tianping, yet you’re still pretending to be innocent. Who would believe you?”
Little twenty-two, who was in a dazed state, immediately woke up after hearing the news.
“Brother 16, are you saying that I killed Jiang Tianping? ” he asked in disbelief.
Little 16 roared, ” if it’s not you, are my eyes playing tricks on me? You brought a pot of wine and walked in. You told us to drink, but we didn’t. Then, you immediately hit our acupuncture points. In the end, you went straight into the woodshed and killed Jiang Tianping. Little nineteen and I saw it with our own eyes.”
Hearing this, little twenty-two finally understood that someone had impersonated him to kill Jiang Tianping.
However, could there really be such a similar person? Even his brothers couldn’t tell that the person was a fake.
However, there shouldn’t be anyone in the world who looked exactly the same, except for twin brothers, right? However, he knew very well that his brother did not look like him at all. They were not twin brothers.
‘Wait, I have to prove to the general that I’m innocent.’
Little 22 immediately ran to Jiang Zhennan, knelt down, and said, ” general, I really didn’t kill Jiang Tianping. Just now, I was knocked unconscious in the back garden by someone’s palm. I heard some movements in my daze and immediately rushed here after waking up. General, you must believe in this subordinate!”
Jiang Zhennan walked out of the house and said in a deep and cold voice, “Although the person who killed Jiang Tianping has the same face as you and used your knife, I have already confirmed that you did not kill Jiang Tianping.”
His subordinates were confused. “Why? ”
Jiang Zhennan explained, ” I’m very clear about little twenty-two’s strength. It’s usually clean and neat. However, this person seems to be deliberately imitating little twenty-two, but he doesn’t seem to understand little twenty-two. Therefore, he unconsciously used his instinctive killing method. The tip of the knife pierced into the body, leaving a seven-centimeter blade, and there was no blood. There’s only one person in the martial world who can kill people like this!”
After hearing Jiang Zhennan’s explanation, everyone understood that it might not be little twenty-two who had killed the butler, but…
“But, general, what if he is pretending?” Little three suddenly asked.
Jiang Zhennan shook his head and said, ” I just said that the person who killed Jiang Tianping wanted to imitate him, but he revealed his instincts instead. So, little 22 couldn’t have pretended to be like that on purpose.”
Little 22 immediately nodded and said, ” that’s right! The person who killed Jiang Tianping must be the one who knocked me out and then pushed the blame on me. ” At this point, he was a little confused again. “but I’m very clear that none of my brothers and sisters look like me. Could there really be someone so similar in this world? So similar that even you brothers are mistaken?”
The others also had their doubts.
Since the general said that little twenty-two wasn’t the one who killed him, then who was the person who looked exactly like little twenty-two?
In an instant, everyone looked at Jiang Zhennan in confusion.
However, the person who explained was not Jiang Zhennan, but Guo Bing who was beside him.
He said, ” there are people in Jiang Hu who are proficient in the art of disguise. However, when it came to making masks, various complicated processes were required. Therefore, an exquisite mask would take at least half a day to a day to come out.
“However, there is one person who can instantly create a mask that is exactly the same as a person after looking at them.”
“Who is that person?” The others were really curious.
Not only did he have a face-changing technique, but he could also instantly create a human face. When they thought of this, they were both curious and scared.
If that person wanted to kill someone, he wouldn’t use his real face and would just wear a fake face. Wouldn’t that mean that they wouldn’t be able to find the real murderer? How unjust would that be!
Guo Bing’s expression turned serious as he said, ” this is the man with a Thousand Faces!”
“Thousand-faced man!” They were really shocked.
“It’s rumored that the thousand-faced man is a mysterious person, and no one has ever seen his true face, right? According to the rumors, he promised a woman that he would not kill again.”
“Then who hired him to kill Jiang Tianping?”
Other than Jiang Zhennan and Guo Bing, the others were not aware that the person who wanted to kill him, Jiang Zhennan, was actually the Marquis’ wife.
Therefore, they could not guess that the Thousand-Faced man was invited by the Marquis’ wife.
“Alright, you guys can take this Jiang Tianping down and bury him!” Jiang Zhennan said to his subordinates.
“Yes, general!”
In the study, Guo Bing frowned and said in disbelief, ” how did Wen Yujing manage to invite Thousand Faced man to kill Jiang Tianping? ”
Jiang Zhennan did not reply.
After that, Guo Bing looked at Jiang Zhennan with some worry and said, ” boss, it seems that Wen Yujing’s power is deeper than we thought. It looks like I’ll need to put in some effort to deal with her!”
However, Jiang Zhennan said coldly, ” no matter how powerful Wen Yujing is, she also has a weakness. As long as she has a weakness, everything will not be a problem!”
Guo Bing was surprised. “boss, do you mean Jiang Zhenye and Jiang Wen? ”
Jiang Zhennan did not answer.
