Chapter 77

This was found on a piece of exterior wall glass when he "jumped" from the hotel earlier.

It was found on a piece of exterior wall glass.

Such a tiny fish scale,

on such a vast exterior wall area,

and while falling at high speed,

a normal person might simply be unable to notice it,

but Lu Shu saw it at a single glance.

Judging from the shape and smell of the fish scale,

it must be a scale from a sea fish.

And the freshness of the fish scale indicates,

that the location where the assassin operated was not far from the hotel.

Lu Shu could even deduce,

that before the assassin carried out the bounty,

he probably had not taken a careful bath,

otherwise he would have noticed a small piece of scale still remaining in his hair.

An assassin who does not carefully check his own body before a mission,

cannot be called a qualified assassin.

"Young man, do you want to buy fish?"

"Just brought over from the boat today, it's very fresh!"

An elderly woman selling seafood earnestly promoted her seafood.

Lu Shu responded with a smile,

and politely refused.

Then he continued walking forward.

Just as he was about to finish walking along this entire row of stalls,

in front of the very last vendor,

his footsteps slowly came to a halt,

watching with interest a group of fish swimming happily in the fish tank.

"Boss, what kind of fish is this?"

The vendor's boss was a lean man with dark skin,

seeing business arrive,

he responded with a brilliant smile.

"This one? It's a Dongban fish."

"This fish is not easy to catch, I'm not bragging."

"In the entire row of stalls, only my shop can sell this fish every day."

"It's very delicious, young man, why not get one?"

After the boss finished speaking,

Lu Shu squatted down in front of the vendor,

showing great interest in this "delicious" fish.

And behind him,

Liu Fan and the other two saw Lu Shu stop in front of a vendor,

their hearts jumped violently,

Liu Fan even quickly made several subtle hand signals,

and the plainclothes officers scattered around began to slowly close in.

On the stall,

Lu Shu asked with a smile,

"How much is this fish per jin?"

"300!"

"...."

Lu Shu's outstretched hand instantly withdrew,

and he stood up, preparing to leave.

"Don't go, little brother!"

"This fish is absolutely delicious! Especially good for girls, it beautifies the skin and nourishes the complexion."

"Really?"

"Absolutely! If it's not delicious, come find me for a refund! Want one?"

"Then alright. Help clean it."

"Sure thing!"

Hearing the words "beautifies the skin and nourishes the complexion",

Lu Shu squatted down again,

and bought an expensive Dongban fish.

He asked a question very casually,

"Hearing the boss's accent, you're not from Long Country?"

The fish stall boss, while swiftly cleaning a spotted grouper with a knife,

laughed heartily,

"Yes, I'm from Northern Mianbei."

"Actually, I'm just working for the boss; I'll be heading back soon."

Lu Shu nodded without speaking.

He watched the boss clean the fish's entrails with a smile on his face.

Suddenly, he spoke a sentence,

"That cutting position isn't very good."

"Although you've removed the entrails, you'll break the fish gall."

"The fish meat will turn bitter."

After saying that,

Lu Shu looked up and said to the boss with a smile,

"Your knife skills are good."

"But your fish-slaughtering technique isn't very proficient, boss."

Hearing these words,

the fish stall boss's hand movements paused for a moment,

then he also looked up,

grinned to reveal white teeth.

"Little brother is joking; how could I not be proficient?"

"I sell fish!"

As he spoke,

the knife in the boss's hand for slaughtering fish,

turned lightly,

and stabbed straight toward Lu Shu's chest.

Chapter 044: Your assassin ranking is only 48? You're a bit weak...

"Oh no! He's making a move!!"

Liu Fan and the two others behind, upon seeing the fish stall boss reveal his knife,

felt their hearts tremble violently.
