Chapter 108: The Way is Different

When Zhao Xu used to be a sheriff, even if there was no shortage of all kinds of brave and ruthless adventurers in the entire town, this kind of homicide was uncommon.

Seeing this scene, he already knew that they no longer had to try to find any customs clearance certificates, intelligence, and the like.

As far as the eye can see, all kinds of chests of drawers have been emptied, and the books on the entire large desk have been pushed to the ground.

When a bottle of ink on a desk is touched, the ink flows directly down the legs of the table and drips down the feet of the deceased.

"Burglary?" Maple Leaf muttered in a low voice when he saw this scene.

The situation does look like a burglary case, and the remote environment here is cold and damp, and it is completely the best place to start.

Zhao Xu shook his head, the underground forces in this world do have a great connection with the Wanderers Association, but they do not completely overlap.

And among the underground forces, there is a difference between the Theft Gang and the Killer Gang.

In his previous life, as a sheriff, Zhao Xu also deliberately lurked in the underground forces and received training, so he knew some of the inside story.

"It's not the same. The traces here seem to be very clear, the killer will kill with a sword as soon as he enters, and then slowly search the entire inner chamber for what he wants, so the ink is covered with blood. ”

Zhao Xu had already walked in front of the dead soothsayer at this time, and it was also the object of their contact to obtain information this time.

He gently checked the situation under the other party's sleeve, his pupils constricted slightly, "There is no trace of binding, obviously even the intelligence torture has been skipped." ”

"Let's get out of Crescent Town." Zhao Xu said.

"Don't need to look for any more information?" Rainbow the Wanderer asked, patrolling the entire chamber, "Maybe we can find any more news from here." ”

Zhao Xu shook his head, "There's no point, I'm afraid the caravan will have to go home this time." This is not just a simple homicide. ”

Zhao Xu has always made the right decisions, and the follow-up development has also verified the correctness of his thinking.

Thinking of this, Maple Leaf and Rainbow didn't say much, and left this place with Zhao Xu first.

It was also thanks to Zhao Xu who used his identity as a mage to scare off the thieves of the Tallinn Brotherhood, so that the other party did not dare to follow him.

Otherwise, they noticed that Zhao Xu and the three of them entered here, and after the homicide was discovered, the three of them would definitely be wanted to explain the situation.

After going out, Zhao Xu and Maple Leaf Rainbow still cautiously carried out some anti-tracking measures.

After they drilled the corners of the wall and spared the road, they made sure that there were no followers, and they left Crescent Town together with the flow of people.

It wasn't until they returned to the location of the caravan that they had been hidden, that the three of them breathed a sigh of relief and slowly told Luo Ya about their experiences today.

And after Luo Ya heard their statement, his face also changed several times, and even his breath was uneven.

"Maybe this is just a case of getting rich, and the clue is broken, and it doesn't hinder our next plans." Luo Ya took a deep breath and said slowly.

Zhao Xu's heart suddenly froze.

It seems that everyone's fate ends at this moment.

"Do you still think so?" Zhao Xu said, "I don't think that a loiterer of at least level 2 will be killed by a simple kill. ”

Luo Ya's eyes suddenly showed a look of disbelief, but he immediately suppressed the tension in his heart and explained: "Mr. Midsummer, you have misunderstood, the person who is connected to you is just an 'expert' who is good at "forging documents". He is just an ordinary person, and he has no combat power. ”

Zhao Xu shook his head and raised his hand lightly to signal Luo Ya to listen to him.

"Team Leader Roya, although I don't know why you are lying about this. But some details are still obvious. ”

Zhao Xu said indifferently, "The kind of hand cocoon that is practiced by holding a weapon to practice the 'sneak attack' ability, and the hand cocoon that is practiced by forging documents, the position and size are different. ”

Luo Ya was stunned for a moment, but he didn't expect his explanation to be debunked on the spot.

At this time, the Maple Leaf and the others also looked over in surprise, not expecting Zhao Xu to discover this detail at all.

"That person should be the dark line of Catan and Busso City stationed in Crescent City."

Zhao Xu slowly uttered his speculation.

"If my guess is correct, then the whole logic can be explained. Why was the soothsayer not pursued by the Shang Alliance's guards in Crescent Town, but killed directly by the killer? Because some people are already aware of the loopholes in Crescent Town and don't want to leak the news, they directly use the underground forces to solve it. ”

Seeing that Luo Ya had already shown a tired expression, Zhao Xu said with a bit of pity: "And this also means that I am afraid that even Kasuo and Butan City have been infiltrated by the Shang Alliance a lot. Otherwise, I don't think the Shang Alliance has such a big confidence, and I'd rather cut off the other party's claws in Crescent Town than withhold interrogation. ”

A wanderer of more than one level, placed in a remote town, as an ordinary connector, this configuration is also a bit extravagant.

A wanderer with the ability to "sneak attack", to put it mildly, is barely qualified to be a killer.

At this time, including looking at the most innocent Yoyo, he also fell silent.

The extent of the crisis of this state of affairs is already obvious.

"Mr. Midsummer, I didn't expect you, as an Earth adventurer, to have such a deep sensitivity to the ecology of the town. I'm sorry I didn't-"

"So you're going to keep going?" Zhao Xu retorted lightly. "I don't think that the Shang Alliance can't even send out the most basic reconnaissance force when they know that there is our smuggling caravan."

It's just that the rest of the content, Zhao Xu didn't have enough evidence, so he didn't say anything more.

For a moment, the entire tent fell silent.

Zhao Xu has never done smuggling, but Luo Ya is different, he must have sensed that something was wrong with the atmosphere, but he still refused to give up, obviously to gamble.

Bet on him to get through.

Zhao Xu's three hole cards, Antinoya is for him to use in adventure to gain experience, not to protect anyone.

Otherwise, he would have been able to ask the Mage Guild of Crescent Town to issue them a certificate just now.

In this way, the entire smuggling caravan can reach the front line openly.

"There are two paths now." Zhao thought about it, but still said: "Either transport these materials back, and it will be regarded as a failure." Either bury these things on the spot and wait here for a new twist on the whole situation before taking action. You may consult with your leaders first. ”

In the second half of Zhao Xu's sentence, he almost said that he was waiting for Kasuo and Butan City to fail.

At this time, Luo Ya stood up directly, and he said with a hint of emotion, "Believe me, Mr. Midsummer, I am confident that I will lead the entire caravan to the front line smoothly, and with your help, we have this confidence." And we will surely pay you more. I can go now—"

"So be it." Zhao Xu lightly interrupted Luo Ya's generous statement.

"Now that it's over, let's go our separate ways." Zhao Xu said.

Tick-tock, the tent began to be beaten with raindrops.

The clouds and mist that had been suppressed for a long time finally couldn't bear it, and the sound of rain spread throughout the Nanyu forest.

The rainy season of midsummer has finally arrived.
