Chapter 867 Clues and Ambition

Although Decius in the second century AD did not know who Watson was, she had indeed been playing the role of Watson conscientiously.

Although she felt quite uncomfortable with the corpse in front of the round table, after hearing Zhang Heng's words, Daichiusi still walked into the room and quietly closed the door.

There is no such thing as protecting crime scenes these days, so Daichius had no objections to what he was going to do next. However, he looked around, but did not move immediately. Instead, he turned around and asked Zhang Heng again, "Uh... I understand what you mean, but what exactly are we looking for?"

"Pay attention to all corners where things may be hidden. Mainly check to see if there are any notes or the like. In addition, also look for anything that is obviously inconsistent with Amedeo's identity."

As Zhang Heng said this, he came to a cabinet. He reached out and opened the cabinet door. He pulled out all the clothes and other items inside. Then he bent down and looked under the cabinet, so Daichius also did the same. Following the example, he and Zhang Heng began to search Amedeo's residence.

Unfortunately, until the patrol team arrived, neither of them could find what Zhang Heng said.

"Did you leave it with a friend?" Zhang Heng said.

He and Decius had already walked out of the room, leaving the messy crime scene behind them to the stunned patrols.

"That would be tragic. We don't know Amedeo, and we don't know if he has any trustworthy friends." Decius said with a bitter face, "And Klaus will definitely not help us anymore."

"It doesn't matter, it's the other side who should be worried now. Although they killed Amedeo to silence him, if the thing is really in the hands of Amedeo's friends, they will definitely find a way to send the thing after hearing the news of Amedeo's death. To the hands that can take revenge on the person opposite."

"Who can take revenge on the other side?" Decius asked.

"Me." Zhang Heng said, "They don't want me to meet Amedeo so much. They definitely don't want me to know who is behind the mine. So what I have to do now is to tell Amedeo's friend and bring the things Deliver it to me."

As he spoke, he waved to a painter who was drawing a small advertisement on the wall not far away. The latter put down his brush and paint and walked over.

Zhang Heng asked the painter, "How much does it cost to paint a painting?"

"1Asai, sir."

"I'll give you 1 denarius." Zhang Heng tossed a silver coin to the painter, "Please help me write on this apartment building. His Majesty's advisor Zhang Heng is responsible for investigating Amedeo's murder case. If you have any clues, please come to On the banks of the Tiber River…”

"Is that all there is? If it's just words, it's actually not that expensive." The painter said after receiving the silver coins.

“It’s just text, but it needs to be written on the entire wall of the building, so that everyone who passes by can see it at a glance.”

"No problem." The painter accepted the large amount of money and immediately started to work. He stopped painting the small advertisement that was halfway painted before and devoted himself to writing clues and inspirations for Zhang Heng.

"Will this be useful?" Daikius looked at the big words on the wall with doubts.

"Well, I think we should know tomorrow." Zhang Heng patted Daichiusi's shoulder again, "That's it for today. Watson, go home for dinner. After running around all day, I want to Get some rest and we’ll continue tomorrow.”

Being reminded by Zhang Heng, Daichiusi remembered that his stomach was already growling with hunger, but because of a series of things that happened after that, he even forgot to eat. In fact, he found that he had nothing to eat now. His appetite was gone, and he said with a worried look on his face, "Do we really want to continue investigating this matter? We have already found out that a human life has been lost. Who knows what will happen next? Will we also become a target?"

Zhang Heng nodded when he heard this, "I can't rule out this possibility, but I am the gladiatorial champion of Flavius ​​Amphitheater and the advisor of His Majesty the Emperor. I am not a small role like Amedeo. It will be more difficult to kill me and there will be a lot of trouble afterwards. , so strictly speaking, you will be in danger next."

"…………"

"But you don't have to worry. You are just my Watson. As long as I am still alive, there is no point in killing you." Zhang Heng comforted.

Decius sighed again after hearing this, but didn't say anything more, and went home worried.

And when he returned home, it was already past dinner time. Decius was not his legitimate son, so of course he didn't expect everyone to wait for him to come back for dinner. However, when he walked to the kitchen hungry, he was told that there was no food in the kitchen. Save his supper.

Decius had been busy all day and had been holding back a lot of anger. It was all ignited at this moment. He was about to find the servant who was cooking to settle the score, but he was discouraged when he saw another person in the kitchen. .

That man was an old servant who specialized in serving his brother Nino. Decius immediately knew who was targeting him tonight. His mother was just a slave, and he was the product of his father's one-night stand, so His position in the family has always been awkward, and he was not well received by his legitimate brother and the latter's mother.

Decius knew that he would definitely suffer in the end of this quarrel, so he didn't talk any more and turned around and went directly back to his residence, where his wife bought him dinner from outside.

Decius asked his wife while eating dinner, "Has Nino harassed you again today?"

Decius' wife hesitated for a moment, and finally nodded, "It's no big deal, he just took advantage of it."

"That bastard, his good life won't last long." Decius sneered.

Decius's wife seemed to be worried that his words would be heard by others. She looked around and then said softly, "He is your brother after all, and if it makes a big fuss, who do you think your father will favor."

"I don't care what the old guy thinks, anyway, I will never be a member of this family." Daikius said.

"Don't say that, he pays for all our living expenses, and he also found a job for you."

"It's only temporary." Decius hugged his wife, "But don't worry, I have found a way and I will be able to enter the Senate soon. Then we won't have to rely on anyone else."

"Senate? But you are not the legitimate son."

"I don't rely on the old guy, I have my own way." Daichius said mysteriously, he hugged his wife and came to the bed, "But before that, I will continue to play the role of an incompetent doormat here. Brother, I’ve wronged you.”

"Then how are you going to compensate me?" Decius' wife bit her lip and looked at her husband with loving eyes.

"I will give myself to you tonight." Decius smiled.
