readx;?“ How so? Lu stared into the strange boy's eyes, clearly not believing this side of the story. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

"It's obvious, my grandfather is not in the same league as them."

"Them?" Lu subconsciously repeated.

"They are all the officials and councilors in Julai City who support the annexation to the empire!" The boy's empty belly suddenly burst into anger, which made his voice louder and louder. "You've probably heard of that slanderous lie! The former mayor blew up the railroad in order to oppose the annexation of Julay to the empire! With a trumped-up charge, he left the city hall where he had served all his life! ”

"I've heard of it, but what does it have to do with the two?" Duchamp retorted disapprovingly.

The boy stood up from his seat and waved his two skinny hands angrily: "Do you have any brains, how can you be the culprit behind that crime, as the most stubborn stumbling block to the proposal of all Julai's refusal to merge into the empire!" ”

Duchamp was stunned for a moment, this statement does make sense.

He quickly gathered his thoughts and interrupted the boy's words. "Maybe you have a point, but we're here to find out one thing, where is the bank stub at Julay City Hall."

Hearing such ruthless words, a sad expression appeared in the boy's eyes, and he stabbed his fork fiercely at the wooden table, "Hmph, we don't know each other, why should I tell you." His eyes rolled twice, and his expression gradually turned to mockery, "You can go to the street and ask, maybe the police on the side of the road will tell you." ”

Seeing the boy's expression in front of him gradually stiffen, Duchamp suddenly realized that his strategy was wrong. The half-haired mind and will in front of him are already comparable to those of adults, and the other party wanted to tell himself the answer at the beginning, but what he just said was inappropriate, and he didn't take into account the other party's psychological feelings at all. He spun his brain around and quickly thought of a way to make amends.

"The ledger is very important to us, and we think that there will be hidden truth about the Wheat Field case. As you just said, your grandfather, right, the former mayor of Julay, in his position, is completely different from the culprit who caused this incident. Therefore, it is also of interest to you and the old mayor that we find out the truth of this matter, and perhaps it has something to do with the railway bombing. ”

The emaciated boy, Coullow, scoffed at Duchamp's clumsy rhetoric. "Perhaps the truth about the Wheat Field tragedy will be far beyond your imagination. However, as a sign of sincerity, I can answer one of your questions first. ”

Lu Daxi asked impatiently: "We want to check the stub of the city hall in the Julay Commercial Bank in 1194." ”

The boy snorted from his nose: "Since the Governor has taken over the town hall, these old accounts have naturally moved into the Governor's Palace. The former treasurer seems to have been idle after losing his job, and even if you go to him, there will be no results, and the annual accounts of the town hall are piled up, and who can remember these old accounts. ”

Both Lu and Duchamp knew that he was telling the truth, and Lu patiently explained: "We just want to find out if an account is on the books." ”

Kulo looked interested and asked, "What is the account?" ”

Duchamp intercepted the topic of the road in time, and he did not want to expose the ironclad evidence he already had. "We just want to see how the city government embezzled the land compensation money of the highlanders!"

Lu was stunned for a moment, but Kuro couldn't help but pat his thigh excitedly: "Okay! "There was a sudden light in his eyes." Yes, with some insight, I saw the core of the matter at once! However, I assure you that there is absolutely no such amount in the books of the town hall of Julay in 1194. ”

Lu asked loudly, "How can you see it?" After months of investigation, he had already learned that hundreds of millions of funds had been embezzled by the city hall, so he couldn't help but ask loudly.

Kulo said calmly: "After the tragedy in Wheat Field Town, the city hall specially organized people to investigate for this purpose, and the accounts of that year were naturally checked repeatedly. ”

"Double-checked? I'm afraid it's going to be revised repeatedly! Lu said smugly.

Ignoring this, Kuro said to himself: "The amount of land paid by the railway company was huge, and in order to solve the urgent financial needs, the city council did decide to postpone the payment of 30% of the land for two years, which is indeed a fact. However, the embezzlement of compensation for the Northland people was only exposed after the tragedy in Wheat Field Town. In fact, my grandfather never gave up the investigation of the Wheat Field Town tragedy during his lifetime, and perhaps this is the root cause of his downfall. Since this tragedy, the political arena of Julai has fallen into a treacherous situation, and the power of the empire has quickly extended to the territory of Julai, not only is it difficult to investigate, but the mayor who strongly advocates the investigation will soon fall into an inexplicable trap, and soon his reputation will be ruined and he will end up depressed. Later, Julay was incorporated into the empire, and the matter was forgotten. ”

The lights in the small shop were dim, and the faces of the people were yellow. Lu and Duchamp glanced at each other, and for a moment they both felt that each other's faces were not very good-looking.

When the young man Kuro said this, he looked up and asked the two: "This is the truth you want to investigate, maybe many big people are involved, if you find the answer, what are you going to do?" ”

Lu said without hesitation: "Blood for blood." ”

The young Kulo's eyes were full of appreciation, he stood up and said, "In that case, I will take you to find the 'truth'. ”

Lu asked in surprise, "What is this going to do?" ”

The boy did not answer, but walked over to say goodbye to the cook. Duchamp hurriedly took out his wallet to pay the bill, but the cook refused, just took Kulo's hand and told a lot of words such as "Don't do risky things, don't forget to come to dinner". Kuro smiled and comforted the cook, and walked outside.

Duchamp and Lu were surprised and delighted, they didn't expect such a big harvest in such a seemingly ordinary place.

The boy Kuro took them with him and walked home again. He turned on the light, took a pair of shoes from the shoe cabinet and changed them, and explained: "Where we are going, it is not convenient to wear slippers. After changing his shoes, he felt that something was missing, and went to the fireplace again, and took something in his arms. Duchamp's eyes were sharp, and he could already see that it was a dagger with a sheath.

After taking these things, he seemed to be still unsatisfied, staring at a small coffee table by the fireplace, and was stunned.

Duchamp walked over to take a look, only to find that it was a chessboard, and the situation above it was already an endgame. He is not good at chess, and he is not famous.

Kulo stared at the chess game for a few seconds, then suddenly stretched out his hand, made a mess of the chess pieces, and said confidently: "I have reasoned at least ninety percent about the cause and effect of this matter, and this last step is missing, confirm!" ”

He said to the two who had not yet reacted: "Let's go! "I turned off the lights in the room and stepped into the boundless night.

(The unit is grabbing the work before the New Year, and I have been working too much overtime recently, and I have begun to delay the draft, but I will have annual leave at the end of the month. ）
