The atmosphere was a bit anxious. Ji Lian had never seen Uncle Zehart's gaze … It was like the gaze of those bad adventurers who came to the weapon shop to buy weapons.
The gaze of those whose hands were stained with blood.
"It's nothing." Zehart shook his head, "Have you prepared the things?"
Ji Lian had to nod, put the bag on the table, and then took out a bottle of wine.
"This wine …" Zehart frowned subconsciously.
Ji Lian stroked the bottle and said softly, "Uncle brought this back for Dad once. At that time, he only drank half of the bottle. I know Dad hid it under the bed and was reluctant to drink it … Now, he's gone, so it's useless to keep it. Uncle, it was brought here, and now it's returned to its rightful owner. You know, I don't like to drink. "
"You're so considerate." Zehart was silent for a while, and then patted Ji Lian's shoulder, "When I'm done with the things outside, I'll come back to the King's City to see you."
"Uncle." At this moment, Ji Lian raised his head. "Let me drink with you. Take it as a farewell, or take it as a remembrance of Dad … Dad can't taste this wine anymore. I think … I want to drink it on his behalf."
"Okay." Zehart nodded, "It's rare for you to have this."
Ji Lian quickly took the cups … Three cups, and then poured some wine into each cup, and gave it to Zehart and Boss Luo.
"I also have one?" Boss Luo asked curiously.
"I can't let you watch us drink." Ji Lian showed a wry smile.
"Thank you." Boss Luo smiled.
They clinked their cups, but before they were about to drink, Ji Lian suddenly looked at Mr. Zehart and asked, "Uncle Zehart, yesterday afternoon, after you left the weapon shop, where did you go … Didn't you go home?"
Zehart paused, "I didn't go back. This time I came back because of business. After I met you, I remembered to buy some goods. Speaking of which, you can go to my place when you have time. Anyway, you always have the key. "
Ji Lian nodded, and then said, "I heard from the guards that someone saw you appear near the place where Dad was killed last night …"
"What do you want to say?" Zehart frowned, his voice slightly heavy.
Ji Lian sighed and said sorrowfully, "I was thinking, if only I could have met you before Old Father was killed. That way, Old Father might not have been killed." You and Old Father had such a good relationship, but Old Father was killed near you … Uncle, don't be sad. "
Zehart nodded his head silently. Immediately, he finished half a cup of wine in one gulp and took his bag. "I'm going to leave the city soon. During this time, take good care of yourself. If there's anything, wait for me to come back."
As he spoke, this traveling merchant, Mr. Zehart, prepared to open the door and leave … But just as he was about to leave, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Ji Lian, the next time I come back, I'll bring you some new and interesting things."
Smile.
"Uncle!" Ji Lian Yi walked out.
At this time, Zehart's body suddenly became unstable. He shook his head hard, but felt that the world was spinning. He suddenly lost his center of gravity and fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Ji Lian dragged Zehart back into the weapons shop.
Boss Luo thoughtfully looked at the wine on the table, "Is there something in this wine?"
Ji Lian faintly said, "It's a kind of ore powder. Old Father usually used it as an auxiliary agent when forging weapons … If people accidentally eat it, they will faint and their body will be paralyzed for a short time. But don't worry, there's no such thing in your cup. "
"So, you're planning to hand Mr. Zehart over to the guards?"
"I don't know." Ji Lian shook his head, "I haven't thought about it … But I can't let Uncle leave now. After all, he's a big suspect. I … I can only think of this method for now. After Uncle wakes up, he will probably hate me to death. "
As he said this, Ji Lian carried Zehart on his back.
"Even if you imprison him, it's not a solution." Luoqiu said from the side.
"Then what can I do?" Ji Lian suddenly became emotional, "Hand him over to the guards personally? If Uncle is innocent, then how can I forgive myself … Let him go? But if he really is … I'll be sorry to Old Father. "
"If he tells you personally that he has nothing to do with this matter." Luoqiu curiously asked, "Will you choose to believe him … Remember, he can also be lying."
Ji Lian's hands that were binding Zehart with iron chains suddenly paused. He faintly said, "Then tell me, if you were me … What would you do? If … If you can't give me an answer, then please don't give me any more hypothetical comments about my actions. "
Boss Luo nodded and said apologetically, "Indeed, a bystander should have the self-awareness of a bystander."
He began to be silent and no longer took the initiative to ask Ji Lian any questions … Until Ji Lian completely bound Zehart with iron chains.
"Sorry, my tone just now was a bit harsh." Ji Lian sighed and came to Luoqiu's side at this time, "I … I just can't control myself."
Boss Luo just said with gentle eyes, "At your age, it's already very good … At least, it's better than me before."
"Mr. Luo, you also …" Ji Lian subconsciously raised his head.
"Are you hungry?" Boss Luo smiled and said, "I'll go get something to eat … Don't look at me like this, I still have some experience in cooking."
"This … There should be some dry bread in the kitchen, don't bother too much." Ji Lian had to shake his head.
Boss Luo said casually, "My father said, no matter how bad tomorrow is, we still have to live … Live a better life, then we have the motivation to face tomorrow's bad."
Ji Lian opened his mouth and then smiled bitterly, "There should be bacon and vegetables in the kitchen … Add an egg. Forget it, let me do it, after all, you're the guest. "
As he spoke, he looked back at the unconscious Zehart. Ji Lian took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and quickly climbed out of the cellar.
Boss Luo also looked at Mr. Zehart casually and planned to climb out of the cellar.
At this time, a small head appeared at the entrance of the cellar … It was Arraia in white clothes — The girl's beautiful hair was now hanging down, strand by strand, without a trace of mess.
"What's the matter?" Luoqiu asked with a slight smile.
Arraia in white clothes took the initiative to stretch out her hand, "My clothes are torn."
Boss Luo climbed out of the cellar at once and asked curiously, "Torn? Where is it torn? "
Arraia turned around at this time … It was indeed torn, from the back of the waist, the clothes were torn all the way to the buttocks.
"… I'm curious, how did you tear it." Boss Luo shook his head, took off his coat and put it on her.
Arraia shook her head, "I don't know, it's just a tear."
"Do you want to sew it or replace it with a new one?" Boss Luo smiled and asked.
"Brother, what do you think?" Arraia thought for a moment and asked blankly.
"Then sew it." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Normally, people will choose to sew it."
"Why?" Arraia was puzzled and asked.
Boss Luo said casually, "Because they believe that damaged things can be repaired … Not just clothes, but everything."
"Is that so?" Arraia shook her head, "Not all things can be repaired, the things that are beyond repair will not be repaired again, unless time is turned back."
"Turning back time is too exaggerated." Boss Luo patted Arraia's head lightly and chuckled, "They just … just hope."
Arraia shook her head, then pulled Boss Luo's sleeve and said softly, "The guy in the cellar smells like a dragon."
"Really?" Boss Luo nodded.
Arraia continued, "The bridge smells like a dragon too."
"Got it." Boss Luo nodded, "Let's sew the clothes first."
…
…
On the street, the guards were still searching from house to house — even Peace Between Man And Nature's car was stopped several times.
Suddenly, a figure got into Peace Between Man And Nature's car.
"What's the matter?" Peace Between Man And Nature asked directly.
The subordinate who got into the car quickly said, "Sir, the matter you asked me to go back to the Garrison Division this afternoon to ask the Astrologer to check on the bridge, there is a result, this is the report."
He sent a document to Peace Between Man And Nature.
Peace Between Man And Nature opened the document and frowned, "It's not a high-level monster … but a dragon's aura?"
"Sir." The subordinate said with a serious expression, "As far as I know, there are only two people in the King's City who can have a dragon's aura. One is the head maid of the palace, Laura, and the other is …"
"Why don't you say it?" Peace Between Man And Nature looked at the subordinate who wanted to say something but stopped.
The subordinate could only bite the bullet and say, "Sir, I don't need to say anything about the other person, you must know … the whole country knows."
Peace Between Man And Nature snorted and put the document away, not saying anything.
The subordinate didn't dare to make any noise at this time, but from his many years of experience, he felt that he was involved in a terrible whirlpool … this whirlpool involved the dragons of the continent.
Time passed little by little.
Peace Between Man And Nature suddenly asked, "Is there any movement at [Locke's Arms Shop]? Did Zehart appear? "
The subordinate said, "Our spies have been stationed there all this time, and haven't found anything yet. As for the people you asked us to monitor, they haven't left the shop since this afternoon … Sir, do you think that the suspect, Zehart, will really go to the shop? If he is the murderer, he should be far away by now. "
"Change the route." Peace Between Man And Nature suddenly said, "Go to [Locke's Arms Shop]."
The subordinate could only instruct the driver in charge of driving the car … Not long after, the carriage from the Garrison Division arrived at [Locke's Arms Shop].
Peace Between Man And Nature ordered people to wait outside, then knocked on the door and walked into the shop.
…
…
When he saw the second chief of the Garrison Division again today, Ji Lian's expression couldn't help but change slightly … they had just prepared a table of sumptuous dinner.
"Sir, you … Why are you here?" Ji Lian calmed down and asked quietly.
"What's the good news?" Peace Between Man And Nature glanced at this time, and asked seemingly casually, "Usually, people will only eat so well during festivals."
Ji Lian looked at Mr. Luo who was as calm as water, and said seriously, "I think, instead of not eating anything because of the pain and starving himself, it's better to eat well so that he will have more strength to face the future."
"Good idea." Peace Between Man And Nature nodded, then immediately sat down, looked at Boss Luo and smiled casually, "This person taught you, right?"
"How did you know …" Ji Lian closed his mouth, and then said, "Sir Peace Between Man And Nature, do you want to eat with us? I'll bring you the blood utensils. "
"Okay." Peace Between Man And Nature nodded, "Anyway, I'm hungry. I've been busy all day and haven't eaten anything … Thank you."
"Right away." Ji Lian nodded and had to turn around to get the utensils.
Peace Between Man And Nature didn't hold back at this time, and directly reached out to steal the food on the plate to eat. As he ate, he said casually, "Today, a very bad assassination happened in the palace, causing a storm in the capital … I remember you said that you don't know where you lost your identification. If there's nothing going on these few days, you should be careful."
"Peace Between Man And Nature, Mr. Luo, as the second chief of the guards in the capital, let me go like this, is it okay?" Boss Luo put down the utensils used for eating.
Peace Between Man And Nature stole a bit of food from every plate.
"There's nothing wrong with it." Peace Between Man And Nature chuckled and said, "Catching the assassin is temporarily the job of the palace guards … This matter is not under the control of the guards."
"Sir, you came so late, is it because of the discovery of the murder case?" Boss Luo suddenly asked.
"Sigh, there's no clue." Peace Between Man And Nature shrugged, "I can only stroll around, passing by this place, so I came to take a look … I was thinking, maybe you will have some new discoveries."
At this time, Ji Lian took the utensils back and put them in front of Peace Between Man And Nature.
"No need." Peace Between Man And Nature said indifferently, "I'm full, I won't disturb you if there's nothing else … Oh, by the way, Zehart didn't come to find you today, right?"
"No." Ji Lian answered quickly, not avoiding Peace Between Man And Nature's gaze at this time.
"I see …" Peace Between Man And Nature's gaze turned, seemingly nodding casually, but at this time, suddenly frowned, "There seems to be a sound … from below."
At this time, Ji Lian's gaze couldn't help but change slightly.
Just now, there was a sound — and the source seemed to be in the cellar.
"Maybe it's rats." Ji Lian quickly said, "Rats often steal things to eat in the cellar. After a batch of them are poisoned to death, another batch comes, it's very annoying."
"I'm good at catching rats." Peace Between Man And Nature smiled at this time, "Let me help you."
After saying this, Peace Between Man And Nature did not wait for Ji Lian to respond, she took her sword and directly rushed into the house. Ji Lian's expression changed dramatically, she called out again and again and quickly chased after her.
But this guard division's second in command was very fast, when Ji Lian chased to the cellar, Peace Between Man And Nature had already jumped in … Ji Lian had to bite the bullet and also climb into the cellar.
But at this time in the cellar, there was no trace of Uncle Zehart … Ji Lian looked at the broken chain on the ground and subconsciously relaxed, but she did not know how Uncle Zehart broke it, he actually had such ability.
"I already said, it's just some rats." Ji Lian walked to the side at this time, pointed at a small hole that was sealed with a wooden board and said, "They should have crawled away."
"Well, it's good that you're fine." Peace Between Man And Nature smiled and was about to leave — but before leaving, he went to a corner and casually used his sword to lift up a piece of canvas covering the corner.
What was covered with the canvas was only some charcoal.
"Sir, what are you doing …" Ji Lian frowned at this time and said, "I can't be hiding something here, right?"
"It's okay, I'm just curious." Peace Between Man And Nature shrugged, "Well, I won't disturb you … Well, let's finish looking here."
As he spoke, he used his long sword to pry open another piece of canvas.
"What's this?"
But this time, under the canvas, there was actually an extraordinary sword embedded with gems … In addition, there was also a silver mask.
At this time, Ji Lian was also shocked by the things in front of her.
"It seems that I have to work overtime tonight." Peace Between Man And Nature narrowed his eyes at this time and pointed his sword at lightning speed, "Mr. Ji Lian, are you interested in going back to the guards division with me … I now suspect that you have something to do with the assassination this afternoon."
