Chapter 1204 Time Limit
"My God." Li Huailin just woke up the next morning and found that he didn't have enough sleep. The main reason was that it was too late last night, but there was nothing he could do. After getting up and drinking a cup of coffee, Li Huailin went online directly.
It's still a bit early though. But at this time, several people here are already online, and Li Huailin is the last one. After a little discussion, we decided to gather immediately, and the location is naturally in the main city where everyone disbanded yesterday. Soon the five people gathered together again.
"I hope the task can be done in the morning. I still have something to do in the afternoon." Li Huailin said while supporting his forehead.
"What's the matter?" The summoning Jade Emperor here asked.
"War." Li Huailin said simply.
"Why do you live so much? Even though you are a duke, you don't need to fight all the time. Needless to say, you are the one who complained about being hacked to death by the demon players over there." Summoning the Jade Emperor said.
"What can I do? Who told someone to run out to seek death?" Li Huailin said with his hands spread out.
While talking, several people have already walked to the door of the De'an Chamber of Commerce, and Polit here is already waiting at the door. When he saw Li Huailin walking over, he immediately came up to say hello: "Master Duke."
"Has the matter been investigated?" Li Huailin asked.
"Yes, it has been investigated." Pollitt here handed over a document while talking.
Li Huailin directly handed over the result file to the summoning Jade Emperor behind him. The summoning Jade Emperor raised his brows directly: "When the hell did I become your personal assistant?"
"Look at it first, Pollitt, and you can also briefly talk about it." Li Huailin said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Polit on the side nodded. "According to our investigation, the stone of Homeran that His Highness is looking for was sold at our auction house in Selgaro City, 27 days ago, by a wealthy businessman named Rohan for 440,000 yuan. I bought it at the price of gold coins, but this rich businessman suddenly disappeared after buying the stone, and the whole family disappeared together..."
"It goes without saying." Li Huailin waved his hand directly, knowing everything behind. "I want to know who consigned the stones here."
"Your Highness, it is an official consignment at this time." Polit said.
"Huh?" Li Huailin was slightly taken aback. "What does official consignment mean?"
"In other words... it was consigned by the Empire.
Politt said, "According to our information, the Stone of Homeland was previously held by Count Sandra, but... Count Sandra was just taken back by His Royal Highness a few months ago. The whole family was put to death, and then his property was returned to the national treasury. Some of the more valuable antiques were auctioned in batches by various auction houses. Of course, the gold coins obtained were basically returned to the national treasury. "
"Oh?" Li Huailin nodded, understood Pollitt's meaning, thought for a while and asked, "What's going on with Earl Sandra?"
"He is a die-hard loyalist of the Marquis of Filmut." Polit here only said a word and Li Huailin understood. It seems that it has something to do with me, and it is probably one of the group of people that Anthony killed after he came to power.
"However, my lord duke, what we found is not only these." Paulitt continued. "In fact, we found that this thing called the Stone of Homeland is not the first time it has been auctioned. Earl Sandra also bought it at the auction, fifteen years ago."
"Huh?" Li Huailin was a little taken aback. "Fifteen years ago? It seems to be just..."
"It just happened to be the time when Earl Guitalera disappeared here." Said the summoning Jade Emperor next to him.
"Who auctioned it?" Li Huailin asked immediately.
"I don't know." Pollitt said, looking at Li Huailin's displeased expression, Pollitt immediately explained, "Master Duke, this stone was not in our auction house fifteen years ago. shot."
"Which auction house is that?" Li Huailin asked.
"Wanlan Auction House..." Polit said, after thinking for a while, he explained. "It's an auction house under the Wanlan Chamber of Commerce, and it's a neutral auction house."
"Then our next step is to find this Wanlan Chamber of Commerce?" Li Huailin said.
"No, my lord." Paulitt said. "Wanlan Chamber of Commerce is gone..."
"Huh? Why aren't you here?" Li Huailin asked.
"The Wanlan Chamber of Commerce was disbanded more than ten years ago due to poor management, and now there is no such chamber of commerce." Polit here said.
"Fuck, but even though they were disbanded, they are still alive, can they find the person who handled them at that time?" Li Huailin asked after thinking about it.
"This is a little bit difficult, after all, it happened more than ten years ago." Pollitt said, "But we and I still have a way."
"What way?" Li Huailin asked.
"That's right, Mr. Duke, you should know that our De'an Chamber of Commerce was also a member of the Marquis of Firmut before." Polit said.
"Oh, that's true." Li Huailin was taken aback for a moment. He just remembered this incident. In fact, they only came to look for him after the Marquis of Fermut fell, "So you know this Earl Sandra people?"
"Actually, I really know each other." Pollitt said here. When I became the chairman, Count Sandra was one of the few people I needed to try my best to please.
"So?" Li Huailin asked.
"At that time, the price of the Stone of Homeland at auction was 300,000 gold coins. I think it would be very difficult for an earl to spend such a large amount of money, so I guess this deal should be with our chamber of commerce. It has something to do with it, it is very likely that most of the money was paid by our chamber of commerce, just to buy Count Sandra." Politt said here.
"Understood, it's a change of direction to accept bribes, right." Li Huailin nodded, "Since the money is paid by the De'an Chamber of Commerce, why don't you know?"
"Your Excellency, I have only been the president for more than three years. I didn't know about these confidential matters before." Politt said, "I calculated the time, and it may be something that the previous president handled. .”
"Ex-predecessor, the president of your chamber of commerce is really diligent." Li Huailin said, "And then, what about the former president?"
"I haven't found this one yet," Politt said, "However, my lord, since it was handled by the De'an Chamber of Commerce, it is very likely that I have also contacted the auctioneer of this item a little bit. According to the records, I think there may be some gains if we continue to investigate in this way.”
"Okay, okay." Li Huailin nodded slightly, "That is to say, the clues you want to collect now are your own handling records and the former president, and the other is Earl Sandra's side. One is the information on Wanlan Chamber of Commerce that has disappeared, right?"
"Yes, Your Highness, I think giving me a little time should help you find the original seller." Polit on the side nodded.
"How do you feel?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"The time when the original seller sold it was very close to the time when Earl Guitalera entered the God Realm and then disappeared." The summoning Jade Emperor said, "That means it is very likely that the other party still knows about Guitalera. Count La’s whereabouts, I think this clue may be an important clue to complete the task of finding Count Guitalera.”
"Yeah." Li Huailin also nodded, and then turned to Polit and said, "Then you start checking right away."
"In fact, Mr. Duke, we have already started to investigate." Pollitt said immediately, "However, it will take a little time."
"How long will it take?" Li Huailin asked.
"This, it's hard for me to guarantee it." Politt thought about it for a while, and said bravely. Otherwise, he can just guarantee a date. If it is too long or too short, something will happen if he fails to keep up. It is really difficult to estimate.
"I..." Li Huailin held his forehead, "I'll give you one day..."
"One day?" Polit over here was terrified. How could he find this day? I just wanted to talk, but I didn't expect the summoned Jade Emperor behind Li Huailin to speak first, "I said, brother, you will let him find a fart for a day. .”
"Hey...then how long did you say?" Li Huailin turned around and asked.
"One week." The summoning Jade Emperor here said casually.
Just finished speaking, the summoned Jade Emperor here received a reminder that Polit, the president of the Dean Chamber of Commerce, increased his sensitivity to her by 30 points...
"..." The summoning Jade Emperor here was speechless. How miserable this guy's subordinates are usually, and his favorability increased by 30 points just by saying a few words, which is too exaggerated.
"One week." Li Huailin also nodded slightly, "That's all right, report to me within a week, I want to know the name of the person who sold it, and all the information."
"Yes, Your Excellency the Duke." Politt said quickly, and by the way, immediately gave the summoning Jade Emperor a friendly look.
Sent Polit over here to work, and then... nothing happened here because the thread was broken.
"What to do, it looks like it will take a week." Li Huailin said.
"Then let's leave it for now." It doesn't matter if the thousand years of change here is indifferent, "After all, the task of S-level is not so simple."
"That's right." Li Huailin nodded, "I was thinking that I should hurry up when I have something to do, but I didn't expect to be fine all of a sudden. There are still a few hours before the afternoon, so I have nothing to do."
"Let's level up together? Or play a dungeon?" The summoning Jade Emperor here asked.
"Uh...no need..." Li Huailin raised his forehead, now that he doesn't need any equipment at all, why play a dungeon and level up, making yourself unhappy.
While Li Huailin was thinking about how to pass the time, suddenly a large group of people walked towards Li Huailin, "I found it, Brother Niubi is here." (To be continued)
