(Explain the reason for the slow pace, because this is originally the daily life of the city, so the main line and the daily will be double-opened, although the plot is temporarily slow, but it is related to the main line.) ）

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Zhao Zhiqi was resting in a coffee shop in front of the bell tower, while Li Wenhao couldn't help but complain, "Huh~, let's find a hotel to rest~." ”

However, Zhao Zhiqi didn't give up and said, "No, let's go to another place to rest, otherwise we will waste time going there tomorrow!"

When Li Wenhao heard this, he cried and said with a sad face, "I beg you, sister, I'm really tired and can't walk, this distance, I have to walk for at least two hours~!"

However, Zhao Zhiqi frowned and said, "No, don't complain!"

However, just when Li Wenhao wanted to say something, Ryan suddenly got up and grabbed Zhao Zhiqi's wrist, and said with a gentle smile, "You come with me, I have something to say to you." ”

Zhao Zhiqi glanced at Ryan with a puzzled expression, and then went to a corner of the store with him and asked, "What's the matter?"

"Zhiqi, I know you're worried about your brother and want to know the truth as soon as possible, but why don't you want to do it with Duoduo? Even if you don't care about Li Wenhao's big pig's trotters, you and Duoduo are at least worried. ”

As he spoke, Ryan looked listless, and Duoduo, who was sitting in the chair, said, "Look, Duoduo is also exhausted, you are also tired, and it is not only you who are suffering from this, but we also suffer with you."

Li Wenhao, this guy, has been trying his best to find a mobile phone and contact Lin Zihan since the first day, you are torturing him like this, it is estimated that this kid is in a hurry, and he may be able to do anything, so it is better to find a nearby hotel to rest and relieve their pressure. ”

Then Zhao Zhiqi glanced at Li Wenhao, who was lying on the table, listlessly poking Duoduo's cheek, and Duoduo, who was too lazy to move, and tangled for a while, but finally compromised.

"Well, let's find an inn and rest for the night. ”

Subsequently, not long after Zhao Zhiqi and the others left, the man who was originally standing at the service desk wearing a blue coat slightly attached himself and looked at the back of Zhao Zhiqi and them leaving.

...... ...... in the hotel

In Kantary City, there are many hotels, and there are many vacant rooms, after all, there are many travelers and tourists who come and go, and even many travelers from the north are also in Kantary City.

And the hotel they found was near the bell tower where they met, and it was also a wealthy street, so the price of the hotel would be more expensive, but the conditions were naturally very good.

And Zhao Zhiqi and they are not worried about not having star coins, because Ryan still took a lot from Haisen.

After all, he apologized the most, and it was really not enough to give a little material, so he naturally didn't take less of things like star coins, and when Zhao Zhiqi came here again, he also exchanged a lot of star coins at the charter shop in the jurisdiction, so they were not short of money at all.

Of course, they can't spend too much money, after all, they have just started this road, and they don't know how long it will take.

At night, Zhao Zhiqi sat on the sofa by the window in the room, looking out the window and seemed to be thinking.

And Li Wenhao had already fallen asleep in bed early, because he was too tired.

Zhao Zhiqi and they live in a large room with two double beds, in addition to the kitchen facilities.

After Ryan finished washing, he walked over while wiping his hair and asked, "What, what are you thinking?"

"Well, nothing. Zhao Zhiqi shook her head slightly.

Ryan looked at Zhao Zhiqi, who had a solemn face and a listless face, sighed slightly, sat opposite her, and then wiped his hair, and said, "Actually, you don't have to be so anxious, didn't we get nothing in the first three months?" Now that we have clues, it has only been more than a month, and we are still far from the one-year deadline. ”

However, Zhao Zhiqi looked out the window, thought for a long time, and then asked lightly, "If it was really him who did it, what should I do?"

That's right, in fact, Zhao Zhiqi has been thinking about it for more than a month, including on the road.

If the murderer is really Zhao Yifan, he is not framed, he has really changed, then what should he do?

Do you want to arrest him, or let him go?

This question has been bothering Zhao Zhiqi, making her sleepless at night, and she is constantly thinking about what the head of the fishing village said to her......

You're going to kill that man!

This sentence is like a spell, strangling Zhao Zhiqi's heart, making her almost unable to breathe, and since then, as soon as she closes her eyes, there will be a picture of Zhao Yifan being killed by herself.

Zhao Yifan's chest was blood-red, there was blood at the corner of his mouth, and he looked at himself with the lazy and gentle smile he used to have, while his trembling hands were holding a long sword, which was stained with Zhao Yifan's blood.

As soon as she closed her eyes, this scene would appear in her mind along with the village chief's faint words, which was more terrible than a nightmare, very painful.

Ryan looked at Zhao Zhiqi, who was so anxious, and couldn't help but say calmly, "Okay, don't think about it, what kind of person your brother is, you know better than us, will he do this kind of thing, don't you understand him?"

However, Zhao Zhiqi hesitated for a while, then shook her head and said, "I don't know either...... Because people change......"

"But your brother is different. Ryan hurriedly interrupted Zhao Zhiqi, and then smiled slightly, "With my personal understanding of your brother, although we haven't been together for a long time, it should be barely a month, but I believe one thing, the country is easy to change, and the nature is difficult to change, your brother's nature is that he must pay attention to principles in life, there must be a reason to help others, there must be an excuse for beating people, and there must be a reason for killing people, these five hundred people have no grievances against him, no reason, no excuse, no reason, why did he make a move?"

After speaking, Zhao Zhiqi looked at Ryan with a worried face, and then asked, "But what if he really has it?"

“......”

"What should I do if he has a reason, an excuse, a reason to kill those people?"

Ryan froze.

yes, if he had a reason, a reason, an excuse to kill these people, then what?

And what are these reasons, reasons and excuses?

No, it doesn't matter anymore, because as long as it's these people he kills, then the Super Energy Association, no, it's a member of the association, won't let him go.

Ryan saw that Zhao Zhiqi was getting more and more anxious, so he smiled, opened the topic and said, "Hahaha, okay, don't think so much, what reason can your brother have never met them?" Come, let me ask you a riddle, the answer is here." ”

When Zhao Zhiqi heard this, she was a little interested, "Say it." ”

"I can provoke or end wars, I can give you the power to make you a hero, or I can make you powerless and make you a walking corpse. A glance at you can lure me away, but you can't force me to stay, what am I?"

It's a riddle.

The reason why Ryan would play this game with Zhao Zhiqi is actually to let Zhao Zhiqi have some time to rest, otherwise he will be thinking about Zhao Yifan's affairs for 24 hours, and the iron man will also collapse, so he used this method to let Zhao Zhiqi's thinking think about other things, so that she could relax emotionally and not let her nerves be tense all the time.

Zhao Zhiqi embroidered her eyebrows lightly, thought about it with a smile, but still didn't come up with it, so she shook her head and said, "I don't know." Why don't you tell me the answer?"

However, Ryan also smiled and shook his head, "I won't tell you, you can think about it yourself." ”

"Ah~, I hate it, why are you like this! Give me such a difficult question, I can't think of it even if I want to break my head~. No, no, no, I don't want to think about it, you just tell me~!"

As she spoke, Zhao Zhiqi couldn't help but grab Ryan's arm and start to be coquettish, but Ryan smiled and said nothing.

After Zhao Zhiqi begged for a while, seeing that Ryan was still indifferent, she pretended to be angry and puffed out her cheeks and said, "Hmph, I ignore you!"

Originally, Zhao Zhiqi thought that in this way, Ryan would compromise, because in the past, as long as Ryan's problem was wrong with her, she was angry, and Ryan would tell her the answer, but this time, she miscalculated.

I saw Ryan smile and shook his head, and then said, "Actually, the answer is very simple, you also know, just like you asked me, if the murderer is really Zhao Yifan, what should I do, but this riddle is the answer to your question, I believe you will get the answer one day sooner or later." ”

However, this answer made Zhao Zhiqi very dissatisfied, she looked at Duoduo, who had just finished taking a shower and wanted to lay the quilt on the floor, and immediately got up and pounced.

"Toto~!"

"Wow, yes, what are you doing, Sister Zhiqi!"

Zhao Zhiqi held Duoduo in her arms and kept coquettishly saying, "Wow~, you are still so cute~, you can't get tired of looking at it, let's sleep with me today~." ”

And Duoduo decisively refused with righteous words, "No! I'm not a child anymore, I want to sleep by myself!"

When Zhao Zhiqi heard this, she laughed twice, and then said with a disappointed face, "Okay, if you don't sleep with me, then I have to let Ryan sleep with me." ”

Duoduo looked at Ryan, who was sitting by the window, knowing nothing, and then looked at Zhao Zhiqi, who was just about to speak, and immediately spit out a "Okay!"

Then he climbed into bed in a huff.

"Well, that's good. Zhao Zhiqi smiled with satisfaction, then looked at Ryan, who was crying and laughing, and "hummed", and went to take a bath.

Immediately, Duoduo got out of bed, sat down on the chair opposite Ryan, and said, "I thought about a lot of things on this way to Kartley City. ”

"So what?" Ryan asked, smiling.

"Dr. Lane, from what I know of you, you don't look like a person who can speak ironclad sentences, but why did you insist so surely that Brother Fan couldn't go to Windmill Town when you made the choice to go to Windmill Town and Kateley City?"

However, Ryan smiled and said, "That may be your misunderstanding of me. I am very sure of the facts I insist on, such as Zhao Yifan, he will not go to Windmill Town. ”

However, Duoduo took out the map and said, "Then can you explain why on this map, in the city of Kena, not far from Windmill Town, is surrounded by a red circle?"

Ryan looked at the map in Duoduo's hand, his face suddenly became solemn, and his tone was a little unkind, and he asked, "Where did you come from this map?"

"Explain first, why did you throw this map away?"

Looking at Duoduo's unusually firm and serious face, Ryan also knew that he couldn't hide from it, so he lowered his head and sighed in resignation.

"Alas~, okay, but you have to keep this matter secret from Zhao Zhiqi, I'm afraid she may be a little ...... Unacceptable. ”

"Alright, say it quickly!"

"Hmm...... Actually, the innkeeper who told us Zhao Yifan's whereabouts said that Zhao Yifan came to open a room with a woman and a woman, and I won't tell them the legendary story, it's too, what zombies and ghosts, it's too. ”

"And what does this have to do with the red circle on the map?"

"The red circle on the map happened to be a passing man who said that he had seen Zhao Yifan in Kaina City, so he circled it, but this short circuit is not easy to walk, we have a lot of luggage, I am afraid that there will be any accidents, but Zhao Yifan's route is also very clear, he must have gone north, maybe now he is already in the eastern Grelie region at this time, I think he just wants to circle around the non-jurisdictional area of the southern hemisphere. ”

And after listening to Duoduo, he also fell into deep thought.

However, what he considered was not the route of Zhao Yifan analyzed by Lane, but what would happen to Zhao Zhiqi and Wang Xinyu when they got the news.

Because this will indeed bring a lot of shock to Zhao Zhiqi.

After all, Zhao Zhiqi has already decided that Wang Xinyu will be her sister-in-law, and now there is a mysterious woman who will definitely make Zhao Zhiqi even more troubled.

But of course, they still choose to support Zhao Yifan's choice, but Zhao Zhiqi and Wang Xinyu may not agree so much.

And the saddest thing is still counting Wang Xinyu, Lane can imagine how wonderful the expression on Wang Xinyu's face was when he heard the news.

Immediately, Duoduo pondered for a long time, and then said, "This matter must be kept secret, find Brother Yifan to confront him clearly, and ......"

As he spoke, Duoduo put away the map, and then said, "In that case, then tell Sister Zhiqi that this is our analysis, and then we will leave for Kena City tomorrow." ”

After speaking, he couldn't help but complain, "Really, there is a correct route and it takes us to the wrong place, it's really tiring personal." ”

After complaining, Duoduo went back to bed and waited for Zhao Zhiqi to come out.

...... Following......

Zhao Zhiqi and the others got up early in the morning and went to another area of Kantley City to start searching separately.

It's not because Duoduo didn't tell her, but because Duoduo and Ryan have always said that it was their analysis, so Zhao Zhiqi naturally said, "Then let's ask Kateley City if you are going to Kena City." ”

With the mentality that she would rather kill by mistake than let go, Zhao Zhiqi started this energetic day again.

As for Ryan and Duoduo, they looked at each other the same, and they were grouped together without any motivation, so they asked some people who seemed to be from other places.

On the other hand, Zhao Zhiqi and Li Wenhao, who still didn't know anything about it, were very active and continued to ask about various restaurants and hotels, and there were already some outsiders passing by, but the answers were still very unified.

"Whew~, it's hot to death. ”

Li Wenhao sat on a bench and wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead.

At this time, it was already noon, and a hot sun hung in the sky constantly shining on the land, which was completely opposite to the north, which was full of white and looked very cold.

Li Wenhao really didn't understand, I heard that the temperature in the north can freeze a glass of water at room temperature into ice cubes in ten seconds, and Kateley City is so close to the north, it is so hot, it is obviously very abnormal.

"Okay, just rest for a while, if it's hot, take off your ring and the headphones around your neck, or everyone else will look at us like aliens." ”

However, as soon as Zhao Zhiqi's words fell, before Li Wenhao could speak, a low, strange voice suddenly came from beside her.

"Little sister, can I take a look at that picture. ”

Zhao Zhiqi looked back at the source of the voice and frowned slightly.

I saw a man with short hair and a blue floor coat standing beside her with a smile on his face.

There was a clear scar on the bridge of the man's nose, not like a knife or a sharp claw, but a wound from hitting something.

The man smiled harmlessly and asked, "I may have seen the person in that photo, but I'm not sure, can you show me?"

Zhao Zhiqi, who reacted, immediately responded, "Oh, yes!"

Then he handed the photo to the man.

The man looked at it, frowned, and said, "Hiss...... Yes, it's him, I've seen him, but I can't remember where to wait......"

However, when the man was talking and thinking, he looked up and peeked at Zhao Zhiqi from time to time, which made Zhao Zhiqi feel a little uncomfortable.

Coupled with the injury on the man's nose and strange behavior, Zhao Zhiqi had to make her suspect that this man was probably someone who had been taught by her brother.

So Zhao Zhiqi asked tentatively, "That...... I'm just curious, the wound on your nose is ......"

The man smiled, looked up, looked at Zhao Zhiqi with a puzzled face, and said with a smile: "You...... You don't think the person in the photo caused the injury on my face, do you?"

Zhao Zhiqi blinked, and Zhao Yifan, who glanced at the photo, did not speak.

Then the man laughed and said, "Hahaha! don't worry, it's not him, it can't be his!"

As he spoke, he touched the wound on the bridge of his nose, and his smile suddenly became a little cold, and he said, "This wound is a ...... left by an old friend."
