Chapter 465: The Shadows Lurk
"How do you confirm it?" The third master of Tong said curiously.
"It's very simple, just confirm the total number of golden figures?" I said, "If they have prepared twenty golden figures, then it means that this second test, they have planned to send two of them, if the number of golden figures is less than twenty...... All in all, there are many problems that can be seen from the number of golden figures. ”
"What if they made a few more statuettes as backups?" Mr. Lai said, "This method is not reliable. ”
"Whether it is reliable or not is not based on imagination, the little golden man can be used as a direction for investigation." I said, "However, other reconnaissance directions naturally can't be left behind - I'll go to Manager Li and Wang Notary, the two brothers of Yuzifang will hand them over to the third master, and Wuhua and Old Man Zhang will ask Mr. Lai to be the head of the dart - is there a problem?" ”
"I have a problem." Luo Ziyan raised his hand and said, "That'...... What about me? ”
"What about you...... It's up to the corpse and try to find as many clues as possible about the corpse! I said.
The task is assigned, let's go!
The four of them quickly dispersed and acted separately.
As Tong Sanye said, if you want to deceive the enemy, the best way is to deceive your own people together - even if there is really the murderer hidden in our team, then we can also use the process of 'investigating the case' to better confuse the enemy, so that they can't figure out who the real murderer is.
Taking a step back, we must find out the truth in order to firmly grasp the initiative in our own hands.
And......
What's so fun about a game where you know the outcome from the beginning?
After thinking about it, I walked to the second floor.
Wang Ziyun and Manager Li were both on the second floor, one sitting on a throne dangling a glow-in-the-dark glass of grape wine, and the other pondering the huge stone walls that filled the hubs of the mechanism.
"I heard that during the test, you can't approach the notary at will?" Still some distance away from them, I asked in a loud voice.
"Ah, because this test is special, the restrictions have been lifted." "However, I must kindly remind you that even Wang Gongzi and I have no idea who is the murderer. ”
"You don't know?" I was surprised, "There are only ten of us in this imperial palace, if you and he don't know, how can you choose the person to be the murderer?" ”
"I can't tell you the specifics." "But there is one thing that can be revealed - the candidate for the murderer has been decided long before entering the imperial palace." ”
If the murderer is not decided by the two of them, then what is the way to bypass them and notify the chosen 'murderer' directly?
All I can say is ...... There is a way.
"I see." I muttered, "This is unexpected, but it makes perfect sense. ”
"So, it's useless to talk from me." Mr. Li, "You better ask the other young masters and masters." ”
"Since you don't know anything about the murderer, I want to ask something else." I nodded.
"Please keep it short." Li Zong pipe.
"As for the little golden figures for the awards...... "do they weigh the same?" I asked. ”
"Does it matter if the weight is the same?" Manager Li asked rhetorically.
"Of course it does!" I said confidently, "That's made of gold, can a pound of gold be the same as five taels of gold?" If everyone gets a different weight of the little golden figure, this is a big injustice! ”
"This ......," Manager Li said in a deep voice, "the trophy will not be returned." ”
"Can't you really change it?" I asked repeatedly.
"No, no, no." Manager Li said impatiently.
"Alright then, I'll just ask." I giggled and headed downstairs.
Seeing that Manager Li didn't pay attention, he turned around and quietly went back to the second floor.
At this time, the Heavenly Demon Secret Method once again exerted its magical effect - the Heavenly Demon Turning Evil Spell Triple Realm!
Wait, isn't my Heavenly Demon Transformation Evil Curse only a twofold realm? When did you ascend to the Triple Realm?
The answer is: just yesterday.
Yesterday, after I ate Luo Ziyan's newly invented small universe bun, the Heavenly Demon Transformation Evil Spell actually absorbed enough dark (cooking) power, and while advancing to the realm, I obtained a powerful secret power:
The shadows lurk!
When this secret technique is activated, as long as I remain motionless in the shadows, others can barely see me.
Just like it is now.
I crouched in the shadows at the corner of the stairs, waiting for the right moment.
On the second floor, Manager Li and Wang Ziyun were unaware of my surveillance and continued their respective activities.
It's a pity that the two of them didn't exchange a word from beginning to end.
Wang Ziyun, who usually talks so much, how can he become a stuffy crockpot now?
As the saying goes, if the enemy does not move, I will not move, I can only grit my teeth and persevere.
I don't know how long I lasted (in hindsight, it was only about a stick of incense), but when fatigue began to invade my mind, Manager Li finally changed his trajectory and slowly left the hall on the second floor, walked through the broken corridor, and walked towards the depths of the apse.
What will he do?
I suppressed my growing heartbeat, and took advantage of Wang Ziyun's face to leave, and rushed into the corridor on the other side with an arrow step.
Creep against the wall.
Manager Li was about three or four feet away from me, and his robe flickered, and his figure disappeared at the end of the corridor.
Regarding the topography of this Imperial Palace, I have also done a rough exploration before, and I know that the road of the apse can be called intricate, with countless forks, stairs, corridors, high platforms, and portals...... Once you let the other person out of sight, it is easy to lose the person.
I was slightly startled, and immediately ran forward in a hurry, but at the same time, I had to release a steady stream of energy to reduce the sound of my footsteps or other collisions and frictions.
But when I ran to the end of the corridor, I craned my neck to see that Mr. Li was waiting there, and his head was constantly looking back and forth.
I chuckled in my heart, and without thinking about it, I rolled into a shadow at the foot of the corridor, and my power quickly urged my blood to atomize, and then turned into a large area of shadow covering my body.
Fortunately, the amount of blood consumed by the Heavenly Demon Transformation Evil Spell was more than a star and a half lower than that of the Heavenly Demon Disintegration True Method, and even if it lasted for a long time, it was not easy to have those symptoms of excessive anemia.
"Strange, am I really dazzled?" Mr. Li said to himself, "Forget it, if you stay in this kind of ghost place alone, after a long time, you will inevitably be suspicious and suspicious......
He moved on.
I let out a long sigh of relief, and the rest of the tracking became more cautious.
In this way, he made seven turns and eight turns behind Mr. Li, and walked for most of the incense stick time before he stopped in front of a delicately carved and richly decorated stone arch.
He straightened his clothes in front of the arch and paced......
