Chapter 30: The Storm Suddenly Changes
Zhang Zhijie made up how to write these three words. But it didn't make much sense, so he quickly gave up.
"Ms. Sun Yanli, we should be sorry to you. We've bothered you. ”
"No, no, no! it's my son who bothered you. Sun Yanli kept pushing her hands forward, "My son was lost in the woods, and he was about to die of hunger and thirst, and then he met your colleague's ......" She looked at Zhang Zhijie's reaction, as if she wanted to say something and stopped.
"It's okay, we knew he was dead before we came. ”
Sun Yanli nodded when she heard this, although she continued to speak, but her words were still extremely cautious, "Your colleague's package helped my son get through the difficulties." I really appreciate that. Of course, it is also an indisputable fact that my son took your colleague's things without permission, and I apologize to you on his behalf. However, I hope you can understand my son's situation at that time. He's dying, and you'll have to survive on your colleague's bags. So...... Really, I hope you don't blame him. ”
"Don't worry, we can understand your son's position, and we will definitely not blame him. ”
"That's good!" I could feel Sun Yanli breathe a sigh of relief, and her body was also moving closer to a relaxed state, "So may I ask what you are going to do when you come this time?"
Zhang Zhijie leaned back in the chair, "Oh, look at me, I've forgotten about business." Here's the thing, we learned about your son from some gossiping townsfolk and then some of his experiences in the woods. We are not here today to ask about the guilt, but to know something. He paused suddenly, and his eyes were staring directly at Sun Yanli, "I heard that your son brought some of my colleague's things with him when he came back." For example......"
Zhang Zhijie's hands followed suit. He clasped his palms together and then pulled them to the sides, "A staff." Then, he left a few more slight taps on the table, "A few magician books." and ......"
He didn't say the next words, let alone make any movements. He just wanted to see how the woman reacted and tested to see if she might be lying.
Zhang Zhijie would not be stupid enough to ask directly if there is no 'black cover document bag', which will inevitably arouse suspicion.
Sun Yanli's reaction was quite normal, she rolled her eyes, and her head kept nodding. "Well, I guess here, there are indeed these things. She lowered her head and scratched between her eyebrows, "I remember that when my son had just returned smoothly, I discussed with the others what to do with these things! ”
The woman spoke fluently, and there was no sign of deception at all. Zhang Zhijie stood up happily, "That's good." Thank you so much. Can you leave it to us right now? Honestly, these things are important to us. ”
Sun Yanli also readily agreed, and she motioned to get it. But just as he was about to turn around, he suddenly stopped. She seemed to have thought of something.
"I'm sorry. I'm not doubting you anything. But, for now, I feel ...... Well...... If a group of strangers come to you out of the blue, you won't trust them completely, so I think it's better to check the information you have. ”
"I'm sorry, ma'am. He Weilin interjected, "We're not the kind of people who take away other people's lost property, if you think ......"
He Weilin was speaking energetically, and a big hand blocked in front of him. Zhang Zhijie looked at him coldly, making him feel a little chilly. He Weilin swallowed his saliva and stopped talking.
"Absolutely, I think you're doing it very right. We're here out of thin air, and it's nice if you can put us in the house. So, I can work with you to check it. Zhang Zhijie gushed endlessly. He always had a smile on his face, and there was no irritation at all.
Seeing this, Sun Yanli made his standing posture a little more correct, "Okay." I have a question. Don't blame me for being too talkative. I want to know, who are you, who is the magician who died in the woods, how did he die in the woods? ”
"That's right. Zhang Zhijie calmly puffed up his chest, "We and that magician are both from the garden survey team. The purpose of being assigned to this forest from Kiyose Castle was to investigate the specific situation of the garden. However, just a few days ago, our magician friend, who was also our boss. After he entered the woods alone, he never returned. We searched for him for days, but we found nothing. Then, when I entered your town, I heard the news that he had become a 'corpse'. ”
Speaking of this, Zhang Zhijie's expression became sad, "Really, after hearing that he is dead, we are all very sad and sad. So, we wanted to come and get his relics back. That's kind of compensation. ”
He Weilin was a little stunned when he listened. When he tells lies, his face is not red and his heart is not beating, this is what he admires most about his master Zhang Zhijie.
Sun Yanli didn't seem to show a little suspicion, she followed Zhang Zhijie's sadness, and actually nodded sadly.
It's okay! You can obediently go get something for me-Zhang Zhijie's heart was secretly happy.
However, contrary to expectations, Sun Yanli's body did not move. I saw her clench her fists and circle around her chest out of thin air, "So...... Let me ask another question. What exactly does that staff look like, like its length, color, or construction? ”
Zhang Zhijie was a little shocked, this woman was more difficult to deal with than he imagined.
"Oh, yes. I really should tell you that information as well. Zhang Zhijie tried her best to keep smiling.
He seriously recalled the structure of Yang Jiening's staff. In fact, it can't be said that the law is serious. He followed Yang Jiening when he was young, how could he not tell the characteristics of that staff!
After a while, Zhang Zhijie said the specific length and color of the staff, as well as the characteristic information of the wolf image on the head of the staff.
After hearing this, Sun Yanli completely calmed down, "Ah! It seems that I am too careful." Excuse me. ”
"No, no. I would also like to thank you for your kindness. If you are not careful, it would be the greatest disrespect to us to allow others to take away my colleague's relics at will. ”
"Don't say that. Sun Yanli waved his hand. She then turned around, "Okay then! I'll get something for you." ”
Sun Yanli walked towards a certain room, and after she opened the door and entered, she was gone.
Seeing this, He Weilin secretly leaned his face to Zhang Zhijie's side, and communicated with him in a tone that did not tremble the Adam's apple, "Teacher, depending on the situation, she is the only one in the room." Yang Jiening didn't seem to be there. ”
"Well, that means that Yang Jiening is indeed dead, and that kid is indeed lying. Zhang Zhijie's gaze was suspended in the air. The news of Yang Jiening's death is still a special blow to him, "However, it can't be completely certain." Maybe Yang Jiening is hiding somewhere, hiding from us. ”
Although Zhang Zhijie said so, he also knew very well that this probability was very small. Because the woman named Sun Yanli didn't seem to suspect them of anything, that is to say, this woman had not met Yang Jiening directly, so naturally she would not know their true relationship with Yang Jiening.
"But, teacher. Are you sure that woman isn't trying to fool us, and she's going to give us something honestly?"
"Whether she lied to us or not, I'm sure I'll get something. Even if she refuses to give it out, we tempt it with money. Make sure she doesn't hide her things. Besides, those 'things' are of no use to her, so it's better to give them to us than to hide them. ”
"I know, the teacher's mind is really open. ”
Of course, otherwise how can you command you little young people Zhang Zhijie shook his shoulders lightly.
"But!" his gaze sharpened, "don't relax now. I could feel that the woman wasn't that easy to deal with. So now we need to be a little more vigilant to prevent things from happening abruptly. ”
Zhang Zhijie's fears are well-founded. In his previous conversation with the woman, he had not mentioned anything about the black covered file bag. The woman did not respond to any information about the object.
Is she really completely unclear, or is she deliberately concealing it? Zhang Zhijie can't conclude anything about this. But he was also prepared, and when the woman brought the staff and the magician's book, if it didn't contain the black cover document, Zhang Zhijie would naturally remind him.
Of course, if the woman really doesn't know, there may be another explanation.
That is, Yang Jiening had already disposed of the black covered document bag before he died. However, Zhang Zhijie believes that this probability should be very low, because whether the document does not exist in the world is not harmful to the Saran, and the document will only have a blow to the Sauronians.
Therefore, Zhang Zhijie didn't believe that Yang Jiening would dispose of the documents privately. Maybe Yang Jiening put the documents into someone else's hands before he died. As for whether it will be the child of this family, Zhang Zhijie is not sure. Moreover, he was still full of doubts that Yang Jiening would trust a certain child.
It's just that Zhang Zhijie will still test the woman's reaction on the importance of the document.
Even if there is only a little chance, Zhang Zhijie can't be negligent. This black-covered document bag was so important to the Sauronians.
The woman, Sun Yanli, had been looking for items in the room for some time. Zhang Zhijie deliberately paid attention to the clock in the living room and found that about five minutes had passed since the woman disappeared.
Seeing that the woman hadn't come out for a long time, Zhang Zhijie tightened his grip on the staff. There won't be any trouble!" he looked at He Weilin on the side.
He Weilin also looked uneasy now, and he asked if he would let him take a look.
"Don't act rashly, or you'll startle the snake. Zhang Zhijie shook his hand gently.
The woman's voice was still visible, and her footsteps seemed to be a little impatient.
"Huh, why is it gone, obviously in his room, why is it gone?" When Sun Yanli walked out of the door, he looked confused.
"What's wrong?" Zhang Zhijie tried to stand up.
"It's strange, remember that those things were obviously put in his room by my son, why did I go in and look for them, but I couldn't find them?" Sun Yanli grabbed his head, as if he was thinking about something in pain.
"Does that mean the 'thing' can't be found?" He Weilin stood up angrily. Probably too urgent, he also touched the chair Ben was sitting on, causing a discordant 'squeak' to be heard.
Sun Yanli was taken aback, she stared blankly at He Weilin for a long time.
"Can't you find it?" Zhang Zhijie took a few steps closer to Sun Yanli, and the cheeks of the two were about to touch.
Seeing this, Sun Yanli took a few steps back, "Well, yes." It's weird. I saw it in my room yesterday, why is it missing today?"
"Are you sure you're looking for it?" He Weilin took a heavy step forward, "If you can't find it, we'll help you find it." ”
Sun Yanli was shocked. I saw her arm clinging to her chest, looking at Zhang Zhijie uneasily.
Zhang Zhijie was speechless and glared back at He Weilin. He Weilin relented and sat back in his seat.
"I'm sorry. This young man is a little impulsive, I will reprimand him well when I go back, but now ......" Zhang Zhijie tried his best to regain his smiling expression, "Where is the 'thing'?"
Sun Yanli looked at the two strangers who set foot in her house interactively: "I don't know either. But yesterday I was in my son's room, and today I don't know how to do it, and suddenly it's gone. ”
"Ahh
Zhang Zhijie immediately entered into thought. After a long time, his face had become a vice ice sculpture. "So, where is your son now, and if you find him, you can ask him to hand over the 'things', right?"
Sun Yanli stared at Zhang Zhijie directly: "Well, that's right." He should know where things are? But he's not at home now, he's out. ”
"And where is he now?"
"He ......" Sun Yanli's mouth was already moving. However, just as she repeated a word, she suddenly stopped. Her eyes were rolling rapidly, twitching her cheeks by the way.
"Where is your son now?"
He ...... Yes...... Can you go back first, and when my son comes back, I'll ask him exactly where the things are?
The woman's answer was unexpected, this is an indirect eviction order! Zhang Zhijie glanced back at He Weilin.
"But we're a little pressed for time. We also had to rush to the town of Jiaoshan next door to work. He Weilin got back to his feet, but this time he didn't touch his chair because of his impatience.
"Is it urgent? Why?"
"Because we're surveying the trees in the town next door. ”
"That's right!" Sun Yanli's eyes glanced in the direction of the lower left corner, but in an instant, she returned to looking straight ahead, "You gardeners have been working hard!"
What is this woman talking nonsense? Zhang Zhijie's brows were already wrinkled unconsciously.
"It's not bitter, but sometimes it's a little tight. So I hope we can find those 'things' quickly so we can go to the next town." He Weilin lifted the staff up.
"But my son is out there now!"
"Can you tell us, then, where is your son?
Sun Yanli's eyes widened, she seemed to be panicking, but her expression was still very calm. Soon, the corners of her mouth pulled down, revealing an almost bitter smile.
"No, I think it's better to wait for my son to come back. If that's really inconvenient, I'd suggest you go to the mayor's hall and wait there. When my son comes back, I'll tell him right away, and I'll have him take the 'things' to the mayor's hall." How about you take a look?"
"Alright. Zhang Zhijie suddenly shouted, "Don't waste any more time, I don't have time to deal with you." Now, you hurry up and hand over my colleague's 'things'. ”
Because the situation suddenly changed abruptly, Sun Yanli's heart also fluctuated. But fortunately, she was still able to calm her thoughts and calmly replied: "I have made it very clear, only my son knows the 'thing', and he doesn't know where to put it." So can you wait for him to come back? ”
"Then tell us now, 'Where is your son?' and we'll go to him and ask him ourselves. ”
"This ...... Why can't you wait for my son to come back? Can't you wait another half a day? Also, my son has always been afraid of strangers, and you can ...... if you go."
"Listen!" Zhang Zhijie suddenly reached out and grabbed Sun Yanli's neck, "We don't have the time to rub anything with you here." If you know each other, hand over the 'things', or tell us where your son is. ”
The neck was firmly locked, causing Sun Yanli not to speak, and even had some difficulty breathing. All she could do was let out a 'ahh
"Don't play any tricks on us, I've restrained you enough. If you don't know how to lift again, I'm welcome. Zhang Zhijie relaxed the hand that was holding others, but the green tendons on the back of his hand still burst out extremely violently.
"You ...... You ......" Sun Yanli's eyes finally showed horror, "Who are you? You're not from the garden survey team, are you?"
"It doesn't matter who we are, it's all about handing over the 'things' to us. He Weilin slammed his staff desperately to the ground.
This fatal sound came aggressively, coupled with the tight pinch around his neck, Sun Yanli's heart was beating faster.
"I've said it all, I really don't know. I guess my son didn't know where to put it. Sun Yanli struggled to exchange breaths, "We are all ordinary civilians, and we have never been exposed to the profession of magicians. Do you think we're going to keep our staff and books?"
"So where the hell is your son now? ”
Zhang Zhijie stretched out the right arm that was holding others. In this way, Sun Yanli, who was choked, also shook like a piece of paper.
"I ......" Sun Yanli kept trying to tap the right arm that grabbed her neck, "I ......"
"Hurry up!"
"I ...... I can't tell. How do I know you guys...... You won't ...... What about hurting my son like this?"
When Zhang Zhijie heard this, the corners of his mouth turned to the side, "What are you talking about? Even if you don't tell me where he is, then he will always come back! ”
"Ahh......h Do not harm my son. ”
"Don't worry, I'm not interested in hurting you. But you also have to get acquainted, come, hurry up and tell us where the 'things' are?"
"I ...... I really don't know. What I said earlier is true, I can swear. Sun Yanli screamed 'ah'. There is the idea of breaking the shackles on her throat, and there is also the intention of wanting others to believe that she is telling the truth.
"That goes back to the old question. Where is your son now? ”
Sun Yanli gasped a few times, and her brain became a little blank, wondering if it was caused by lack of oxygen. Her spirit was becoming less and less focused.
