On the bridge.
In fact, ever since the identity of the deceased Max was confirmed, Peace Between Man And Nature's suspicion towards the three nobodies they caught last night had been largely eliminated. Naturally, the more suspicious targets would start from the people around Max.
He had been observing Ji Lian's every move along the way.
"This … this is the place where Pops was killed last night?"
"Take a look and see if you can find anything special." Peace Between Man And Nature said casually. Then, she leaned on the railing and seemed to be casually looking at the pedestrians on both sides of the bridge.
Ji Lian subconsciously looked at Boss Luo who came along the same way. After receiving a somewhat encouraging gaze, she took a deep breath and began to seriously observe every inch of the bridge.
"Who are you?" Peace Between Man And Nature suddenly looked at Boss Luo and White Cloak Arraia and asked, "Looking at you, you don't look like residents of the Royal Capital."
"We just came to the Royal Capital not too long ago. It was only a day or two ago." Boss Luo answered truthfully.
Peace Between Man And Nature tilted her head and asked, "Do you have a pass or something like that on you? Please let me take a look at your identification documents. "
Of course, Boss Luo did not have such a thing on him. Along the way, they had not been able to obtain such a thing from killing monsters.
"You don't have anything to prove your identity?" Peace Between Man And Nature narrowed her eyes.
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "I think I lost it. On the way here … it was stolen?"
"Do I look like I'm easy to fool?" Peace Between Man And Nature suddenly blinked and asked curiously.
Boss Luo could only smile and said, "Actually, I don't have those things you are talking about. Sir, are you planning to take us … us siblings back to the Garrison for interrogation? "
Peace Between Man And Nature shrugged and said, "Why would I take you back? Because of the competition in the capital, all sorts of people were flocking to the capital, and among them were many potential criminals. Over the past few days, the guards' prison has long been overcrowded. Even if I take you back, there won't even be a place for you to squat. You don't have to go through so much trouble. Just follow me while I'm working on the case … I heard that you lost a weapon from Max, right? What kind of weapon is it? "
Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "It's a sword called [Great Holy Light Sword] … It seems to have another name, [Aurora's Aster]."
Peace Between Man And Nature nodded, and then her eyes widened. "What did you say? [Aurora's Astre] … Holy Sword [Aurora's Astre], one of the three Godly Weapons in the world? "
"I think so." Boss Luo nodded.
The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature opened his mouth. After a moment of silence, he asked seriously, "Do I look like I'm that easy to fool?"
"Mr. Peace Between Man And Nature, you don't believe me?"
"I believe you." The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature shook his head. "[Aurora's Astre], I believe you … There are many Holy Swords in the guards, why wouldn't I believe you?"
"There are many Holy Swords?" Boss Luo was slightly surprised.
The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature shrugged and said, "Not only is there a basket full of Holy Swords, there is also a cart full of the other two Godly Weapons. It's not something strange. During this period of time, the weapons dealers in the capital are selling all kinds of Godly Weapons … They are specifically used to scam people like you who are rich but have no experience in the martial arts world. Every day you dream of going out, you can find a Godly Weapon at a roadside stall, and you can find a peerless secret book by jumping off a cliff … See, at the third stall under the bridge, aren't they selling Holy Swords? That 'Holy Sword' of yours, you must have spent a lot of money to buy it, right? "
Boss Luo looked at the stall that the Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature pointed at … He shook his head and said, "That's right, if it's really the legendary Holy Sword, it shouldn't be as easy as it was for me to get it."
The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature thought that Roland was avoiding the topic because he didn't want to talk about how much money he was scammed. He didn't have the intention to be sarcastic, so he said calmly, "A truly strong person is strong in the heart, not relying on Godly Weapons …"
He wanted to say a few words of encouragement, but Ji Lian had already trotted back.
"Did you find anything?" The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature changed the topic and asked directly.
Ji Lian shook her head and said, "Nothing special."
"I see …" The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature nodded and said regretfully, "It seems that the only clue left is the metal fragment hidden in Max's hand."
At this time, Ji Lian suddenly said, "Celestial Lord Mu, can you … can you let me see the weapon that killed my father?"
"What do you want to do?"
Ji Lian said, "I want to see if there are any special markings on the weapon … When a craftsman makes a weapon, he will leave his own unique markings. Maybe we can start from there? We are in this line of work, so we can tell at a glance. "
"I've already checked." The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature said directly, "Since we didn't find anything here, then let's go to the next place … which is the shop that sold this dagger."
"Then let's not waste any time." Ji Lian said anxiously.
Boss Luo said at this time, "Can you wait for me for a while? I'll be right there. "
The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature looked at Boss Luo in surprise. Not only did he want to do something … but he saw Boss Luo walking straight to the third stall under the bridge.
The Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature couldn't help but frown … Did this guy buy his holy sword from this stall? Revenge?
…
…
He wasn't seeking revenge.
When the Minister of Peace Between Man And Nature and Ji Lian followed, they saw Boss Luo holding a long sword inlaid with many gems and looking at it.
The stall owner was sparing no effort to promote this sword as a good weapon that could cut iron like mud.
"Mr … Luo, are you going to buy this sword?" Ji Lian asked tentatively.
Luoqiu nodded and said, "Yes, I don't have any weapon at the moment, so I'm going to buy one for self-defense … Is there a problem?"
"No problem … but …" Ji Lian ran a weapon shop himself, how could he not know what kind of weapon this stall was selling. He directly pulled the Boss Luo and said quickly, "Mr. Luo, if you want a weapon for self-defense, there are still some sharp ones in my weapon shop … It's our fault to lose your sword. You don't need to buy it here. I'll go back and get you some good ones for you to choose … Of course, this is not a compensation."
"No, this one is good." Boss Luo smiled casually, wearing the sword in the stall, "It's about the same length as my previous one … I'll take this one."
Looking at Mr. Luo's face, it seemed that the words "stupid, rich, come quickly" were written on his face, Ji Lian opened his mouth … But in the end, he gave up persuading him — the stall owner's eyes were about to kill him.
It was the kind of sad eyes that said, why bother to make things difficult for a fellow peer?
At this time, Peace Between Man And Nature only felt that this adventurer from the outside was a little strange, there was someone in the world who was willing to buy a fake … He shook his head and said indifferently, "I've bought the weapon, it's time to go."
After Boss Luo paid the money, he suddenly thought of something and asked, "Mr. Peace Between Man And Nature, about the murder last night, did you ask the surrounding residents about anything suspicious?"
"I did ask some, but I didn't ask all of them." Peace Between Man And Nature shook his head and said, "We are seriously understaffed … However, from the statements that we have asked, we haven't found anything for the time being. Our people from the guards division will continue to follow up on this side. "
Boss Luo nodded and immediately looked at the stall owner, "Boss, I want to ask you something. Did anything special happen last night?"
"You mean about the murder?" The stall owner counted the money he had earned and his attitude couldn't be better, "In the morning, someone from the guards division came to ask me, but I really don't know anything. I was tired last night and went to bed early. Basically, I didn't wake up, let alone see the murder process or suspicious people … I'm sorry, customer, I can't help you. "
"It's okay, I'm just asking." Boss Luo smiled casually, "It's just that I saw that you don't seem to be very energetic, so I thought you must have gone to bed very late last night."
The stall owner said, "I went to bed very early, but I didn't sleep well the whole night. In the middle of the night, Da Huang at home was very noisy and kept barking non-stop. It took a while for it to stop … Oh, little miss, be careful, there are rats!"
At this time, the stall owner hurriedly looked at the white shirt Arraia and hurriedly said, "Little miss, don't let these dirty rats get on your clothes."
"Eh, why are there so many rats?" Ji Lian frowned, "Just now on the bridge, I saw that there were quite a lot of rats on both sides."
"I don't know, they were like this when I woke up early in the morning. They all ran out. We also caught them for a long time before we opened the stall." The stall owner shook his head, "Usually, it's not like this. They don't know what they are afraid of, so they ran out."
Peace Between Man And Nature's expression suddenly changed. He secretly looked at Boss Luo and saw that Luoqiu was not acting strangely at this time. He was just carefully tidying up Arraia's clothes.
Peace Between Man And Nature immediately dodged and jumped on the bridge, arriving at the side of a guard stationed here.
"Greetings, Second Minister!"
Peace Between Man And Nature thought for a while and said, "Go back to the guards division and ask an Astrologer to come over. Let him distinguish the aura around here and see if there were any monsters or the like that that passed by last night and left behind a special aura."
"Okay, I'll go right away."
After giving orders, Peace Between Man And Nature quietly returned to Ji Lian and Boss Luo's side and said indifferently, "We've bought the sword and asked … It's getting late, we have to go to the next place. Let's go."
"Please lead the way, Mr. Peace Between Man And Nature." Boss Luo held Arraia's small hand and said.
They quickly arrived at the weapon shop that sold the murder weapon. It was a shop that was much more luxurious than [Locke's Arms] and had good business.
"There are so many customers who come to buy things here every day, how can we remember all of them clearly?" The shop assistant shook his head and dismissed.
"This is a murder weapon. It was sold from you." Peace Between Man And Nature said directly, "Now, the guards division suspects that this shop is related to a major murder case that happened last night. I need to ask all of you to cooperate with the investigation."
"Sir, I remembered wrongly! I think I have some recollection of this dagger. "
"Explain it in detail." Peace Between Man And Nature said expressionlessly.
The shop assistant thought for a moment and said, "This dagger should have been bought by a man wearing a silver mask yesterday … The mask is quite special, it only shows one eye, so it left a deep impression."
"When?"
"Around two or three in the afternoon, I really can't remember the exact time."
"A man wearing a silver mask …" Peace Between Man And Nature nodded, but at this time, he saw that Ji Lian's expression had changed. He directly stared at Ji Lian's eyes and asked in a deep voice, "Did you think of something … or know something?"
"I …" Ji Lian opened his mouth and looked at Boss Luo next to him as if asking for help. In the end, he felt that he could not hide it, so he said in a panic, "It … it could be Uncle Zehart. He … he is father's friend for many years. Yesterday, father also came to the weapon shop to visit him before he disappeared … But, but Uncle Zehart would not kill father. They have been friends for so many years, how could … Uncle Zehart is very nice, and he is also good to me … "
"I don't know if he is good or not." Peace Between Man And Nature said indifferently, "I only know that someone died, I need to find out who the murderer is … Take me to this person called Zehart."
Ji Lian gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle Zehart should be living beside Liuhua Street in the Southern Sixth District, but I don't know if he is there … He is a traveling merchant and often travels around."
Peace Between Man And Nature directly grabbed Ji Lian's arm and walked out quickly.
"By the way, when the customer bought this dagger yesterday, did he buy anything else or say anything?" Boss Luo suddenly took the opportunity to ask the shop assistant.
"I … I don't think he bought anything." The shop assistant shook his head, "There was nothing special, it was just a normal conversation. Oh, by the way, there is one thing. "
"What is it?"
The shop assistant thought for a while and said, "Later on, there was a young man, who looked like a noble young master. He seemed to know the masked man. They said a few words, and the masked man put down the money for the weapon and left together … The young master seemed to call himself … Wally? That's the name, right? "
"You have a good memory." Boss Luo smiled slightly.
The shop assistant said, "As shop assistants, it is necessary for us to have a good memory, so that we can remember the preferences of the customers."
Boss Luo said casually, "I also have a shop assistant, his memory is not very good, and he doesn't get much."
"Then did you deduct his salary?" The shop assistant laughed.
"Probably … there is not much to deduct." Boss Luo waved his hand and called Arraia out.
…
They quickly arrived at the address mentioned by Ji Lian.
But this was an empty house, as if no one had lived here for a long time.
