Chapter 3003 Supernatural Events
You can never have too many good words.
This saying always works.
The burly man who was suspected to be the leader of the city guard headquarters was flushed with joy, excitement and shyness after being lied to and flattered by me. In short, all kinds of expressions were put on the same rough face, which made him look a bit ferocious.
The corner of my mouth twitched, I laughed, and continued to promote my business.
It wasn't until the big man who brought me here finished his work and came into the office that I turned off my business bragging mode.
After closing the door, the big man who came in later said, "Well, according to the investigation and interrogation, this assassin is most likely related to the Kaxiu sect."
"Highly likely? Rather than certain?"
"It's not completely certain yet," the big man continued later, "I just contacted the person in charge of the second agreement."
"How did he say?"
"He wants us to dig out the mastermind behind the scenes." After a pause, he added: "He only gives us three days."
"This is impossible!" The big man sitting at the desk lightly pounded the table and said angrily: "With the assassin's current condition, even if he is given another week, he may not speak. And if it is really related to the Kaxiu sect, It will be even more difficult to handle. If not, this case will become an unsolved case."
"But the time given in the second agreement is only three days."
"What if the deadline is exceeded?"
"They will come here to pick up people and interrogate them in person."
"What's the difference between this and the torture of prisoners?" The big man at the desk thumped the table again, but this time, it was a bit hard and even the cup jumped up.
"But we can't stop this from happening, can we, boss?" The big man who came in later sighed.
The big man behind the desk looked sometimes ferocious, but also indifferent, and his fists were sometimes clenched and sometimes loosened. For a long time, he looked up to the sky and sighed, then lowered his head and saw me sitting in the corner. He was startled at first, and then He smiled bitterly and said, "Sorry, I made you laugh."
"No, it's nothing." I shook my head: "After all, the second agreement is to override the city guard and even the organization as the city lord. You have shown extremely noble qualities by being able to think about the safety of people's lives. It's a pity that they were born at the wrong time and in the wrong place. If the two of them were born into the families of the leaders of the six major organizations, the six major organizations would not be so domineering."
"Shhh!" The big man who came in later quickly put his index finger in front of his lips: "Shut up, you can't say such things in public places."
"Oh, I understand, I understand." I bowed repeatedly to show that I recognized my mistake and corrected it.
"In short, we will keep your contribution to the city guard in mind. Although we don't know what you want now, if you need it, please let us know and we will do our best to help you."
"That's great." I stood up, bowed, and said, "Then I'll take my leave."
"Walk slowly."
"I won't send it."
When I left the city guard headquarters, the remaining two familiar-looking burly men happened to bump into me.
The two of them expressed their deep gratitude to me for my help in the morning. After chatting for a while, I left the headquarters.
Looking at the time, it was a bit early to buy lunch. If he went back to the hotel, he could practice his sword skills for a while, but it wouldn't last long, so he turned around and walked towards the third tavern.
Anyway, the main purpose of coming here is to find Xi Lan. Since I didn't find him, I'll just wander around first.
Entering the tavern, I ordered a pot of wine and some side dishes to go with the wine. I glanced at the drinkers around me and picked the ones chatting the most happily as my targets. I listened quietly at first, and when I had finished listening, I moved closer. , getting close to them.
As I said before, real drinkers are quite pure. When they are drunk, half of their chatter is bragging, and the other half is true information.
As long as you can accurately find the place where you are bragging, you can find out the real information along with it.
A bottle of wine was quickly consumed by a group of people, and I made a generous move: "Boss, five more bottles!"
Seeing this, the owner of the tavern came out with three bottles of wine and asked me for the money in a tactful way. I took out a handful of copper coins and put them in his hand: "According to this number."
Seeing that it was a handful of copper coins containing magical fluctuations, the boss's suspicion immediately went to his grandma's house, and he immediately asked the waiter to serve wine, and serve him good wine.
The drinker sitting next to me saw my generous spending and immediately said respectfully: "May I ask my brother's surname?"
"An Xiaoyi," I said, "an adventurer."
However, the few people in front of me were all adventurers, but none of them could afford to buy wine as boldly as me, so I added with a smile: "My family is quite wealthy, and I am not married yet. So... you understand."
"Oh~ Got it!"
All the drinkers understood it instantly, and all of them showed expressions of "I understand, I understand".
However, this harmonious drinking party was destined not to last long. After all, there was the Blue Witch waiting for dinner at home, and oh, by the way, Tuo Tuo.
After confirming that none of them knew anything about Xi Lan, I bought two more bottles of wine as a treat for them, then got up and left the tavern.
After buying four roast chickens, several plates of vegetables, and several boxes of rice, I strolled back to the hotel.
The Blue Witch was sitting at the dining table playing with things. When I got closer, I saw that she was playing with a pendant that she had bought a few days ago.
"It's time to eat." I put the food on the table, but found that the blue witch was not in a very good mood, so I asked, "What happened?"
"This is broken." The blue witch pouted and showed the pendant to me.
Sure enough, the pendant was broken. Not only was it broken, the gems and silver frame on it were also separated.
"What happened?" I put the pendant back on the table and asked while taking out the food: "Look at the break, it must have been torn off by force, but looking at you like this, it doesn't seem like you don't like it. It, then why should it be torn off?"
"It's not me, it's Tuotuo." The blue witch raised her head and glared at the cabinet.
Only then did I realize that Tuotuo, who had always been lively and energetic, was huddled next to the cabinet and shivering, and kept looking at us with innocent eyes.
"How could Tuotuo tear this thing apart?" I didn't understand: "Do they have a grudge?"
"How did I know!" the blue witch said displeasedly: "I just came out of the toilet and saw Tuotuo tearing something to play with. When I got closer, I realized that it turned out to be a pendant! This stinky dog must have lied to me again. It’s on my coat!”
Having said this, she stood up quickly, walked quickly to the closet, opened the door, took out her coat and looked at it carefully for a while.
Then, a sound of surprise came from the closet.
"Why? My clothes are not dirty at all?"
"That means Tuotuo didn't actually touch your clothes, so you wronged it."
"But this is wrong!" Blue Witch emphasized: "If Tuotuo didn't touch my clothes, then could this pendant be a supernatural event?"
