After that, there were turns of condolences from the family, among these condolences, there were heart-warming experiences, inspirational ones, some who didn't understand what they wanted to express, and a certain 'stupid big man' took the opportunity to force marriage.

At first, I smiled politely back, but later, the whole person was completely numb, what you like to say, what I like to listen to and what to listen to, the two are not wrong.

After a long time, everyone retreated, and Emily accompanied the Elven Empress home, leaving only Master Dewey and me.

Master Dewey picked up an apple, peeled it, cut it into pieces, inserted a smaller one, and fed it to me, saying, "Why are you still laughing when this person is gone?" ”

I twitched the corners of my mouth and said dryly, "I've been laughing for too long, my muscles are stiff, I have to slow down." ”

Master Dewey shoved the apple chunk into my mouth, put down the knife, frowned, and remained silent.

After a while, he sighed heavily and said, "I really didn't expect that on the territory of Vicky Castle, someone would dare to assassinate my Dewey." ”

"Even before today, I kept telling myself that Vicky Castle was monolithic, with only external enemies and no internal disputes," he laughed self-deprecatingly, and continued: "It seems that this kind of self-hypnosis is time to be abandoned." ”

After swallowing the apple chunks with the juice and meat, I suddenly felt that my dry throat was full of humidity, and even my voice had the strength to speak: "You can't ask everyone to care about the country like you and give up everything for the good of the country, if that's the case, Vechicburg will certainly become a monolith, but this is too lifeless." ”

"What's the matter" Master Dewey glared at me and said, "Isn't it a great thing that all the people care about the country?" ”

"From the point of view of those in power, this is a great thing, but from the perspective of national development, it is a very bad thing."

"Why?"

"To maintain a country, we need common ideas, common ideas, and the same direction, but if we want to develop a country, we need to question, and only by questioning can we find mistakes, find mistakes, and have the opportunity to correct mistakes and develop in the right direction."

"What does this have to do with what I just said?" Master Dewey picked up a piece of apple, threw it into his mouth, and crunched it, muttering as he chewed: "I just said that I am a traitor who wants to murder me, not a different mind." ”

I pursed my lips and said helplessly, "You just said 'internal disputes', and you didn't specify the traitor." ”

"You have to let me point it out," Master Dewey said angrily, "you kid, you shouldn't have let that monster's tentacles make you stupid." ”

I:......

After eating another piece of apple, I finally gathered enough strength, sat up from the bed, leaned on the head of the bed, gasped slightly, and only after I had put myself in a comfortable position did I say: "As for the traitor, you better quickly withdraw the investigation, it is like a thorn in the flesh, a thorn in the eye, if you don't pull it out for a moment, it will drill an extra inch into your flesh, until you remove it, or it takes your life, and then you will not stop." ”

"Hmm" Master Dewey let out a heavy sigh and said, "I will start a thorough investigation, but Xiao Yi, if a similar situation happens in the future, you don't have to be as impulsive as today, my huge business empire can't be inherited by no one." ”

"I know what you mean," I looked at him and said slowly, "but what would you do if you were me?" ”

Master Dewey was silent.

Reaching out and taking a piece of apple and putting it in my mouth, I was about to change the subject, so I asked, "By the way, Master Dewey, have you seen my knife?" ”

"Your knife is now in the secret room, when your body recovers, when will I return the knife to you."

Speaking of this, Master Dewey sighed lightly and sighed with emotion: "You, you, you really can't forget your identity as an adventurer until you die." ”

"Huh?"

"When you were crushed by the tentacles, you were even unconscious, and you didn't forget to hold the handle of the knife, which was even more entangled than a pair of lovers of life and death."

Master Dewey shook his head and smiled: "Later, when you were rescued ashore, it took us a lot of effort to pull your finger away and take the knife off. ”

"And here's the thing!" I was amazed.

"Isn't it," Master Dewey laughed, "After making sure that you were fine, your father-in-law praised you for being a good seedling of an adventurer." ”

"Hey" I amused, and then asked, "What happened after I was hit by a tentacle, and how did I get rescued?" ”

"What saved you was the national power that came in a hurry" Master Dewey said: "It's really a thousand shots, you were hit by that blow, hit out more than ten meters away, and saw that you were about to sink to the bottom of the sea, at that time my daughter-in-law was anxious, and planned to forcibly break the door to save you, fortunately, at this time, the national power came, she finally quieted down, and my old life was finally not drowned in the sea." ”

I thought about it and asked curiously, "What did the Elf Empress behave at that time?" ”

"The girl was stunned, standing there like a log, hey, it's not to blame her, who told the story to happen so quickly, I thought the monster was going to die," Master Dewey said with palpitations.

"Well, quite suddenly," I said.

At the end, he continued to ask, "Have you put away the broken chains?" ”

"I have already asked someone from the investigation team to investigate this matter thoroughly, but I'm afraid I won't find any results."

"Why is that?"

Master Dewey snorted coldly and said: "The person who directly works on the chain is just a small role that is supported, even if he is arrested and brought to justice, it will not help, and the one who really commands and orders is afraid that there are other people, and now that things have happened for so long, I am afraid that the small role has been cleaned up." ”

"You mean...... Kill somebody to do away with a witness? ”

"It's not enough to kill the mouth," Master Dewey said, "that would cause a big thing, and I can't do it, but it is possible to kill someone." ”

"And yes," I said, "Then what are you going to do next, do you first investigate the accidental death and missing persons, or do you first gather intelligence and wait and see what happens?" ”

"Who taught you this?" Master Dewey frowned and asked.

"No one teaches," I said, "and I realized it myself." ”

"No wonder" Master Dewey shook his head and said, "If someone really taught you to do this, I would definitely beat him, isn't this going to bring my son badly!" ”

"Huh?" I wondered, "What do you mean by that, do you mean that my thoughts are wrong?" ”

"Of course not," Master Dewey said: "Whether it is investigating the case or collecting intelligence, it is not what I should do now, and the first thing I want to do now is to have a celebration banquet." ”
