Because of the influence of the Lingzi Revolution, the night in North Star City is much brighter than a hundred years ago, and many new flame pedestals are arranged on many main roads and main roads, these pedestals are the product of Lingzi technology, and the pedestals contain spiritual liquid that has been synthesized with animal fat. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 With only a small amount of synthetic aura, the flame can burn for a long time, illuminating the once dark night and road.

In the year 317 of the new calendar, that is, 100 years ago, the Lingzi Revolution expanded from the Central Continent to the entire world, and the rapid development of Lingshu and Lingzi technology had a huge impact on the entire earthly realm. In the trend of the times, the emerging North Star City was selected by the empire as a technology-based pilot city, and a lot of Lingzi technology was invested here.

Therefore, seeing that almost all of the wealthy mansions in North Star City have popularized expensive Lingzi lanterns, you can know how developed and wealthy the city is.

However, in the seemingly bright North Star City, the shadows are still active outside the light, in the darkness.

"Gray snake, you kid keep an eye on it, damn it, I've drunk too much water, go for a bird's walk." A muffled voice sounded in the darkness, it was none other than the "rats" watching Alec.

"Hurry up, there has been no movement at all in the past few days, I don't believe that this Su Mu really came to find Alec." The guy called Gray Snake responded indifferently, and his words revealed his disdain for Su Mu and Alec.

As Alec said, he's now being targeted by the rats. As the good brother of the third young master of the Su family, Alec is an excellent clue to catch Su Mu.

It was pitch black in the room, Alec had already extinguished the candles, looked out the window through the faint moonlight, and muttered in a low voice: "I knew that you would fence my house, and it was quite tacit, mother's family in one direction." ”

After determining the spotting point of the rats, Alec got the quilt up, and at first glance it looked like he was sleeping with his head covered. Then he avoided the window and went to the closet, and carefully opened the closet door.

Because of the blind spot in their sight, the rats didn't know what Alec was doing. He pressed the bottom of the standing wardrobe hard, gently pushed it open, and pressed the floor on the left side of the bottom twice, only to see that the floor had sunk to reveal a gap. Alec grabbed the plank with one hand and slowly lowered the seal of the hole to make sure there was no big noise.

"Heh, you guys squat slowly, Lao Tzu is gone." Alec didn't forget to taunt before leaving. After carefully closing the closet door, Alec disappeared without noticing, and the rats outside thought that Yunge's bartender was still sleeping.

The tunnels under Alec's house are connected to the sewers not far away, and the sewers that run through North Star City are the most hidden underground passages. Alec, who wanders the dark streets of the slums, dug a tunnel to make it easier for him to interact with those "who live in the shadows", so that it is not easy to be discovered.

"The camellia garden next to the laurel tree is so romantic. It would be nice if it were a date. Alec teased, not slowing down his steps, walking briskly through the sewers, knowing that the sewers would lead to the camellia plantations of Blognia.

……

The camellia plantation in Blonna is in full bloom, and the whole park is full of red, white, yellow and pink camellias, wafting with a refreshing fragrance of flowers. Unfortunately, the camellia plantation is not around the main road, and there is not enough light in the garden to show the world the night color of the camellia.

Su Mu and Qinia, who came here very early, naturally didn't have the heart to enjoy the flowers, but the fragrance of the flowers made people very comfortable, and their mood was somewhat calmer.

"How do you think Alec will get rid of those monitors?" Under a tree with white camellias, Kinia bored herself looking for a topic.

"He's definitely from below, otherwise why would I look for a sewer manhole cover as soon as I get here." Su Mu fiddled with the petals that fell on the ground, his eyes kept looking around, although it was the dead of night, Su Mu was still very cautious, the experience of the past few days told him that a little negligence might be lost.

Confirming that there was no movement around, Su Mu continued to whisper: "Alec's house has a secret passage, which leads directly to the sewers, and the sewers in North Star City are very developed, so you can go anywhere in the city, as long as there is a manhole cover in that place. ”

"I didn't expect Alec to look like a fool and be quite thoughtful." Zinia chuckled softly.

A young master who looks weak but has a quick brain, and a bartender who looks like a little hooligan but has a lot of skills, the non-mainstream of these two social typicals makes Qinia sigh more than surprise, the world is really big.

"Cluck~" The sound of moving the manhole cover broke the silence, and a figure crawled out of the well.

After Su Mu saw Alec's appearance clearly, he patted him directly on the head, and then said, "I knew you would come over like this." It's densely wooded over there, it's safe, let's go! ”

Before Alec could speak, he saw Su Mu and Qinia running away, he shrugged his head, neatly covered the manhole cover, and followed him to the forest not far away.

Through the dim moonlight, Alec saw the appearance of Su Mu, dressed as a mercenary's rough man, and his face was either mud or war paints, which was far from the image of the eldest young master a few days ago. Alec didn't laugh, his whole body was now surprised, and it was not an exaggeration to say that he was dumbfounded.

"What, I'm not a beauty, why are you staring at me?"

"You're looking... I can't recognize it, it's not an exaggeration to say that it's a garbage sweeper or a manure digger in North Star City..."Alec looked like he was talking nonsense seriously, making Qinia on the side cover her mouth and laugh.

"Your uncle!" Su Mu raised his fist and made it look like he was going to beat Alec, and realized that his voice might be a little louder, so he lowered his voice again. "If I didn't, I'd be squatting in North Star City right now."

"Oh? I see, that's the redhead beauty who saved your life and made you promise to each other? Alec teased, his eyes moved to Qinia, Su Mu was able to sneak into the city, he must not be able to stand the guidance and help of some professionals, he estimated it in his heart.

"I didn't see the whole thing during the day, but I didn't expect the masked lady to be so beautiful." Alec said as he reached out and shook Kinia's hand. "You are very skilled in the technique of gold coin transfer, who taught you?"

"Thanks for the compliment." Kinia smiled and nodded, but she wasn't prepared to answer Alec's question head-on. "Don't you know that every lady has secrets that can't be told?"

"Well, yes, it's beautiful!" Saying this, Alec had some doubts about Qinia in his heart.

Doing business first, Alec turned back to his train of thought, and after knowing a little about what Su Mu had happened in the past few days, he hurriedly told the dynamics of North Star City.

"Uncle Cheng was arrested that day because someone provided charges and evidence, and that person is also your Su family, your father's brother Su Lun."

"What! How could it be him? Su Mu's eyes widened, which was completely beyond his expectations.

In my impression, Su Lun's uncle is a bit opportunistic and eager for quick success, but he will not frame his brother. A while before the accident, Suren went on a business trip to Messidia because of business. Unexpectedly, he returned in such a way, this bombshell made Su Mu a little puzzled.

"I asked my brother from the vigilante, and he was there." Alec could understand Su Mu's mood at the moment, and in order to explain things clearly, he couldn't care about calming Fu Mu's emotions, and continued: "Listen to him, the old fox of Ripley and Su Lun made witnesses together, Su Lun not only took out the evidence of Uncle Cheng's murder of Li Nian, but also brought a lot of bills, notes and other things, which can prove that Uncle Cheng smuggled strategic materials to Messidia. Therefore, Uncle Cheng was detained. Alas, these bastards! ”

"Ripley has never supported my dad's Chamber of Commerce decision-making, and he has never supported Lingzi technology and related trade, because then he would have to transform his own business, and he would lose a lot." Su Mu didn't doubt Ripley's actions and motives, this local businessman with a knife in his smile was a complete egoist, and he seized the business opportunity in his early years to make him vote.

After Ripley joined the North Star City Chamber of Commerce Alliance, Li Nian and Su Cheng both hoped to seek common ground while reserving differences, hoping that the small and medium-sized chambers of commerce could unite and survive, and take advantage of the rise of Lingzi technology to make this alliance now compete with the first chamber of commerce in North Star City, the Autumn Wind Chamber of Commerce, through related trade. Ripley also gained a lot from it, but he still couldn't think of going with Su Cheng.

"Alec, tell me, what other evidence is there to prove my father's guilt?" Su Mu suppressed his impulse, suppressed his voice and asked Alec.

After a thorough investigation, it was found that there was indeed a problem in the Su family's accounts. Because you ran out of the city again, the officials thought you must have absconded in fear of crime, and the next day a wanted warrant was issued. ”

Speaking of this, the three of them were silent, if there is no problem with the account, then Su Lun's report will be self-defeating, but there is no if in the world.

"If this crime is confirmed, then this Su Lun is 'righteous and annihilated', and Ripley is to expose the corruption of the Chamber of Commerce and find out the truth for the country, which is a great achievement, presumably they will have a good life in the future." Chenia hits the nail on the head.

"That's right. The Ripley family had already started to rob the Li family's business, and Su Lun took over the Su family's business here, which was still appointed by the government. Alec added, following Chenia's train of thought. In addition, small chambers of commerce, such as the Barot Chamber of Commerce and the Locke Chamber of Commerce, are also tending to be attached to Ripley. Eighty percent of this was done by Ripley and Suren! Although Alec kept his voice low, his voice was full of indignation, and it was really embarrassing that good people did not end well in this year.

Su Mu knew that the situation was very bad now, if he couldn't find sufficient evidence to overturn the case, then Su Lun and Ripley would be heroes, and Su Cheng would fall directly into hell.

"Alec, you continue to ask for help from your friends in the Dark Street Thieves' Guild, their people in the Dark Shadow World are very good at gathering information. Second, you can help me contact Renee, I'm going to ask her for help, she knows Wendell well, the sheriff's director. ”

"She'd looked for you before, but by then you'd be out of town. But I'm afraid she'll sell you. Alec was worried about Su Mu.

"It's even more hopeless if you don't gamble now, as long as she's still in town, you should be able to find her. Tomorrow afternoon, Haydn Market in the central district, I'll meet her there. Su Mu was very decisive, he knew that there was no time to hesitate, and his father's time was running out.

Chenia didn't say anything on the side, just silently remembered the name.

Renee, who can meet the director of the Sheriff, what is the background of this girl? Zinia looked at the moon thoughtfully.
