Zhao Hai didn't stay at Qi Mo's wedding for a long time. He knew that this was the time for these people to curry favor with Qi Mo. And if he was there, these people would feel uncomfortable. After all, what he did before made these people feel afraid.
After watching Qi Mo and the others toast, Zhao Hai led Laura and the others back to the Heaven's Secret Building. Although Zhao Hai could turn these people into undead and ask where they were hiding, Zhao Hai didn't do so. This was because he knew that he couldn't get involved with the Desolate Race's matters. Otherwise, not only would the Desolate Race be dissatisfied, even Qi Mo would be dissatisfied.
Although he had made it clear to Qi Mo that he disdained the Desolate Race's Patriarch position, it was hard to say whether Qi Mo would believe him or not.
After returning to the Heaven's Secret Building, Zhao Hai, Laura and the others sat in the living room. Laura said, "Brother Hai, do you think that we should leave? We've been in the Desolate World for quite some time. Isn't it time to leave? "
Zhao Hai nodded and said, "Right, we should leave. First, we'll go to the War God's Realm to take a look. Then we'll go to the Beast Colosseum. I want to see what kind of races are in there."
Megan said, "Brother Hai, the Desolate Race is currently preparing to solve the problem of their armor. Can we leave at this time? I'm afraid that their problem would be discovered by the other party. If the other party discovers their problem and uses their ability, then it would be a huge blow to the Desolate Race. "
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded, "That's true. If the other party really makes a move, then the Desolate Race would be in big trouble. And if the other party is a Demon, then the Desolate Race's troubles would be even bigger. It seems like we can't leave in a short period of time."
Laura smiled and said, "Actually, we can leave. We can leave the Heaven's Secret Building here and then return to the War God's Realm. When we get there, we can use the War God's Fort."
Zhao Hai thought for a moment and nodded, "That's a good idea. Alright, let's do that. We should go back and prepare."
Unlike Zhao Hai, Qi Mo and the others were very nervous. On the second day of the wedding, Qi Mo called Dong Shun and the others to his office. After they sat down, Qi Mo looked at them and said in a deep voice, "Although we dealt with Qi He's group tomorrow, when we sent people to deal with the Cao Family, Cao Kong's people disappeared. For us, this is definitely not good news. This means that the 18 major families still have deep roots in the Deserted World, and there are still people covering for them. Otherwise, the Cao Family wouldn't have disappeared without a trace."
Everyone nodded. Dong Shun said, "Patriarch, do you think we should ask Mr. Zhao Hai to come forward? From Qi He and the others, we should be able to find out where the remaining members of the 18 major families are."
Qi Mo pondered for a moment and did not speak. Wu Tong wanted to persuade him, but he was stopped by Dong Shun. Dong Shun could see through Qi Mo's intentions. It seemed like Qi Mo did not want Zhao Hai to interfere too much with the Desolate race's matters.
Qi Mo also noticed Dong Shun's actions, but he did not say anything. To be honest, after he became the Patriarch, his mentality had undergone a huge change compared to when he was the commander of the fifth corps. He really did not want Zhao Hai to interfere too much with the Desolate race's matters. To be precise, he was afraid of Zhao Hai.
Although Zhao Hai said that he was not interested in the Desolate race's Patriarch position, Qi Mo still had to be wary of Zhao Hai. This was because he knew Zhao Hai's strength very well. As long as Zhao Hai was willing, he could be finished as the Desolate race's Patriarch at any time.
Furthermore, he no longer treated Dong Shun and the others as brothers like when he was in the fifth division. Instead, he treated them as his subordinates. This was a change in mentality that even he himself didn't realize.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qi Mo opened his mouth and said, "We can't trouble Mister Zhao for everything. How about this, send someone to interrogate Qi He and the others. See if we can get anything out of them." Qi He nodded and said, "Alright.
Wu Tong said in a deep voice, "But Patriarch, Qi He and the others are very stubborn. It will not be easy to get them to speak."
Qi Mo looked at the sorcery passageway and said, "If they don't speak, can't you think of a way to get them to speak? I don't care what method you use, pry open their mouths. "
When Wu Tong heard Qi Mo's words, his heart trembled. He said in a deep voice, "Yes, Patriarch. I understand."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. Qi Mo was stunned for a moment before he said in a deep voice, "Come in." Just as he said that, a person pushed the door open and walked in. Qi Mo saw that it was Yufei.
Qi Mo was not surprised. Although he was married to Yufei, Yufei did not stay at home doing nothing. On the contrary, Yufei was now Qi Mo's secretary.
Yufei walked in with an ugly expression and said to Qi Mo, "Patriarch, I just received news that Qi He and the others committed suicide in prison."
Upon hearing this news, Qi Mo's expression could not help but change. He suddenly stood up and said, "What happened? Why did they suddenly commit suicide? "
Yufei shook her head and said, "We still don't know about Xiang Wei's situation. I think we should go to the scene and take a look. These people were locked up in the Imperial Guard's barracks, so they shouldn't have been killed. Therefore, we can be sure that they committed suicide. But as for how they committed suicide, we still don't know."
Qi Mo walked outside while saying, "First, block this news. Also, I think we should ask Mister Zhao Hai to come over. Maybe he can see something. Even if he can't, we should see if he can turn Qi He and the others into undead. If he can, then we should be able to get some information." Yufei nodded and immediately sent someone to invite Zhao Hai.
Before long, Qi Mo and the others arrived at the barracks. To be honest, the place where Qi Mo locked up Qi He and the others was very good. It wasn't a prison, but inside a warship. The conditions were very good. However, Qi He and the others were now dead.
Upon entering Qi He's room, Qi Mo couldn't help but frown. It was clear that Qi He hadn't been touched since his death. He was lying on the bed with a dark complexion. One could see that he was poisoned to death.
Upon seeing that Qi He was poisoned to death, Qi Mo's complexion became gloomy. He said, "Who was responsible for guarding Qi He? How did he get poisoned to death? What did he eat? "
At this time, the person who followed Qi Mo came out. He cupped his fist and said, "Patriarch, I'm responsible for them. They ate the set meal in the barracks, nothing else." Qi Mo looked at the person who spoke and suppressed the anger in his heart. This was because the person who spoke was one of his trusted subordinates. This person had been with him for many years, and their relationship wasn't any worse than Dong Shun's. At this time, this person was already in charge of a branch of the Imperial Guard.
Qi Mo suppressed the anger in his heart and asked in a deep voice, "When did you find them dead?"
The person said in a deep voice, "This morning, when I was delivering food to them, I found them dead. Patriarch, there are fixed sentries here. Furthermore, the food that was delivered to them was tested for poison in advance. It was definitely not a homicide."
Qi Mo nodded and said, "I believe you. Go on." The person cupped his fist at Qi Mo and turned to leave.
Qi Mo looked around the room again. This was a room inside the battleship, so he was very familiar with it. Besides the door, there were no other entrances or exits. It can be said that there was absolutely no possibility of murder in this room. This made Qi Mo frown even more. He didn't believe that the other party committed suicide. However, all the signs pointed to suicide, which made Qi Mo even more surprised.
At this moment, a member of the Desolate race walked over and cupped his fist at Qi Mo. "Patriarch, Mr. Zhao Hai has arrived." Qi Mo immediately said, "Quickly invite Mr. Zhao Hai in." The person responded and turned to leave. After a while, Zhao Hai walked in from outside.
Qi Mo cupped his fist at Zhao Hai and said, "I'm sorry Mr. Zhao Hai. I invited you here so early because this matter needs Mr. Zhao Hai's help."
Zhao Hai smiled and said, "Brother Qi is too polite. Let me take a look first." After saying that, he walked to Qi He's side. Looking at Qi He's stiff body, the color of his skin, and the expression on his face, he finally sighed.
Qi Mo looked at Zhao Hai and said in a deep voice, "What happened Mr. Zhao Hai? Was it a homicide or a suicide? "
Zhao Hai said in a deep voice, "It can be said to be a homicide, but it can also be said to be a suicide!" Zhao Hai's words confused Qi Mo. He looked at Zhao Hai with a puzzled look.
Zhao Hai looked at Qi Mo and said, "Qi He and the others had taken a poison in advance. This poison needs to be taken within a specified time, otherwise they would die. This poison is very overbearing, it can be used directly on the body. But when the poison takes effect, it can even extinguish a person's soul. Because of this, even I can't turn them into undead. It seems like the other party had already noticed my existence and came up with this method to make sure that I don't get any information." Qi Mo nodded, then he said, "Qi He and the others have already taken note of my existence.
Upon hearing Zhao Hai's words, Qi Mo couldn't help but feel regret. He said, "If I knew this earlier, I would've killed them on the spot and asked Mister to turn them into undead. Unfortunately, I can't get anything out of them."
Zhao Hai shook his head and said, "It's not that simple. If the other party knew that I have this ability, then they would certainly think of a way to guard against it. If I'm not wrong, then the other party must've thought that I would do this. Therefore, when I killed them, the poison would flare up and extinguish their souls. When that time comes, I still wouldn't be able to do anything to the corpses. It seems like the other party's thinking is very meticulous."
Qi Mo couldn't help but say, "Hateful, all the clues have been cut off. This is too hateful."
Zhao Hai looked at Qi Mo and said, "Isn't there still the Cao Family? Did the Cao Family die as well? "
Qi Mo shook his head and said, "The Cao Family didn't die, but all of them have disappeared. Moreover, I can't find them even if I wanted to. It's too hateful. It seems like I'll have to carry out a big purge."
Upon hearing Qi Mo, Zhao Hai stared, then he said, "So it's like that. Brother Qi, I think I should go to the Cao Family and take a look. I learned an ability from them that allows me to see what happened a few days ago. This ability is very useful for tracking. How about it? Do you want me to try it? "
