Chapter 88: A Murder Occurs

Looking from a distance at Jin Zhengzhong, who was using the title of Xuanwu Boy to talk loudly and act like a mystic to trick Old Wang next door to the Jiajia Building, Wei Ziqing had a look of disdain on his face.

Sometimes he wondered how this Jin Zhengzhong managed to become Ma Xiaoling’s disciple in the original story.

And how he became an important supporting character in Contract with the Zombies?

Ability? Charm? Or perhaps his kind nature?

Please forgive Wei Ziqing, but he really could not see any of that!

“What? Do you dislike him?” Just as Wei Ziqing was coldly watching Jin Zhengzhong and his mother deceive Old Wang, Ma Xiaoling happened to return carrying a small suitcase. Seeing the cold smile on Wei Ziqing’s face, she walked up to him and asked.

He glanced at Ma Xiaoling. Although he did not know where she had been, looking at the small suitcase in her hand, he thought that perhaps she had gone to do cleaning work again.

Hearing her words, Wei Ziqing shook his head slightly and said indifferently, “I wouldn’t say I dislike him, but I don’t have a good impression of him either!”

“Oh?” These words left Ma Xiaoling somewhat stunned. Having interacted with him for a while, she had gained some understanding of Wei Ziqing.

His personality was peaceful and steady. He was very polite to her, to Kuang Tianyou, and even to everyone in the Jiajia Building. Now that she actually heard these words from his mouth, she became curious. “Why? Tell me about it.”

“There is nothing to say. Not having a good impression is just not having a good impression,” Ziqing raised an eyebrow and looked at Ma Xiaoling indifferently.

Uh…

Now it was Ma Xiaoling’s turn to be stunned. What kind of answer was this?

Looking again at the ridiculous Jin Zhengzhong, who was currently setting up an altar and performing a ritual, Ma Xiaoling also frowned. She perhaps understood why Wei Ziqing disliked Jin Zhengzhong.

Having no real skill but only knowing how to cheat and deceive—it was indeed hard for such a person to make others like him.

Just as she wanted to say something, she suddenly saw Jin Zhengzhong walk over. He was wearing a Bagua Taoist robe and holding a fly-whisk. When he saw Wei Ziqing, he put on an expression as if he were a great master.

“What? Do you doubt that this Immortal Boy is a fake? This Immortal Boy is the first disciple under the Great Emperor Xuanwu, with profound and mysterious cultivation . You actually dare to doubt that I am a fake. Do you want this Immortal Boy to show you the methods of an Immortal?”

Jin Zhengzhong was very unhappy. Wei Ziqing had not intentionally hidden the volume of his voice earlier, so Jin Zhengzhong had heard everything.

What did he mean by “no good impression”? Did this Immortal Boy need his good impression? He immediately acted superior, wanting to humble Wei Ziqing and scare him!

“That’s right, the Xuanwu Boy is the reincarnation of an Immortal. You mere mortals actually dare to question the words of the Xuanwu Boy! Hurry up and offer some gifts so that the Xuanwu Boy can forgive you!” Sister Jin also shouted, though her words sounded very blunt.

Wei Ziqing frowned but said nothing. He looked indifferently at Jin Zhengzhong and his mother, then smiled slightly at Ma Xiaoling. “Miss Ma, I will leave first. I have some things to handle.”

He then turned around and left.

Bother with Jin Zhengzhong and his mother? Wei Ziqing did not have the patience for that. He went out this time to get a sword. Although his martial arts were hard to make effective in this world, having a weapon would ultimately give him more ability to protect himself.

Ma Xiaoling watched Wei Ziqing leave and then left as well. She was very tired and had no interest in dealing with that pair of fraud mother and son.

“You… you guys…” Jin Zhengzhong looked at Ma Xiaoling and Wei Ziqing, who had ignored him from start to finish and simply walked away. He trembled with rage.

He was, after all, the Xuanwu Boy, and many people in the Jiajia Building were his followers. How could he not be angry that these two dared to ignore him like this?

However, he had no way to stop them from leaving, so he could only stand there and be angry.

After leaving the Jiajia Building, Wei Ziqing asked around and found a shop that specialized in selling weapons. Since it was a modern society, the swords were just ordinary swords. Even the destroyed Gentleman Sword from before was far superior to these, but there was no other way. He had to make do.

A few more days passed. However, on one of those days, a murder occurred in the Jiajia Building. When Wei Ziqing heard the news, he was stunned.

He suddenly remembered that around this point in the original story, a similar murder had occurred!

“The victim is Xiaoqian, right? It seems Ping’s Mother has become a Living Dead with the help of the future. Following the plot, the next person to die should be Pipi, who works at the nightclub, right?”

Wei Ziqing murmured softly, his gaze becoming solemn. He could not remember other parts of the plot clearly, but he was quite clear about the plot at this point.

The reason Xiaoqian died was that she stole clothes from Tailor Ping to give to her mother, and this act was discovered by Ping’s Mother.

Tailor Ping was kind and weak. Ping’s Mother was already dissatisfied that everyone bullied Tailor Ping. Therefore, with the help of the Zombie Blood from the future, she became a Living Dead and strangled Xiaoqian to death.

As for Pipi later on, it was because Ping’s Mother disliked her dating Tailor Ping. She liked Wang Zhenzhen and felt that only Wang Zhenzhen was worthy of her son, so she strangled Pipi to death as well!

Furthermore, the final development was completely unexpected. Although he knew the killer was his mother, Ping did not blame Ping’s Mother. Moreover, when the ghost of Ping’s Mother was captured by Ma Xiaoling and Kuang Tianyou, he hated the two of them. He hugged the body of Ping’s Mother and jumped off the rooftop to commit suicide…

Recalling the fragmented plot in his mind, Wei Ziqing took a deep breath. Since he knew this plot, should he get involved? Should he save Pipi?

He had met Pipi a few times; the girl was also a very kind person. Knowing that Ping’s Mother would kill her, if he pretended not to see anything, he would feel somewhat guilty.

Thinking of this, he immediately headed toward the crime scene where Xiaoqian’s body was found.

The crime scene was in a small alley. The area had already been cordoned off by the police and was crowded with onlookers. From a distance, Wei Ziqing saw several familiar figures.

Ma Xiaoling, Kuang Tianyou, Wang Zhenzhen, and others were all there, and even Jin Zhengzhong was present.

“You’re here?” Seeing Wei Ziqing walk up to him, Kuang Tianyou greeted him, but his brow was tightly furrowed. He was the police officer in charge of this scene.

Ma Xiaoling and Wang Zhenzhen also saw Wei Ziqing and nodded in greeting. As for Jin Zhengzhong, his face was full of annoyance when he saw Wei Ziqing.

However, Wei Ziqing chose to ignore his dissatisfaction. He looked indifferently at the body covered by the body bag and then nodded. “Yes, the victim is called Xiaoqian, right? Well, have you found anything yet?”
