Chapter 228: Clues and Ambitions
In the second century A.D., although Dechius did not know who Watson was, he did play Watson's role dutifully.
Although he felt quite uncomfortable with the corpse in front of the round table, after hearing Zhang Heng's words, Dai Kius still walked into the room and quietly closed the door.
There was no talk of protecting the crime scene in these years, so Daikius had no objection to what he was going to do next, but he looked around, but he didn't move immediately, but turned his head and asked Zhang Heng again, "Uh...... I get what you mean, but what are we looking for? ”
"Pay attention to all the corners where things might be hidden, mainly to see if there are any notes or anything like that, but also to see if there are anything that clearly doesn't match Amidio's identity."
Zhang Heng said as he came to a cabinet, stretched out his hand to open the cabinet door, he pulled out the clothes inside, and then bent down to look at the bottom of the cabinet, so Dai Chius did the same, and began to search Amidio's residence with Zhang Heng.
However, it is a pity that until the patrol arrived, neither of them could find what Zhang Heng said.
"Did you put it somewhere in your friend?" Zhang Hengdao.
He and Dekius had already walked out of the room, leaving the mess of the crime scene behind them to the stunned patrol.
"That's miserable, we don't know Amidio, and we don't know if he has any trusted friends." Daichius said with a bitter face, "And Klaus will definitely not help us anymore." ”
"It's okay, it's the other side that should be anxious now, although they killed Amidio to kill him, but if the thing is really in the hands of Amidio's friends, after hearing the news of Amidio's death, he will definitely find a way to send the thing to the person who can take revenge on the other side."
"Who can take revenge on the other side?" Dachius asked.
"Me." Zhang Heng said, "They don't want me to meet with Amidio so much, they definitely don't want me to know who is behind the mine, so what I have to do now is to tell that friend of Amidio to deliver the things to me." ”
As he spoke, he beckoned to a nearby painter who was painting a small advertisement on the wall, who put down his brush and paint and walked over.
Zhang Heng asked the painter, "How much does it cost you to paint a painting?" ”
"1 Asse, sir."
"I'll give you 1 Denarius." Zhang Heng tossed a silver coin to the painter, "You help me write on this apartment building, His Majesty's adviser Zhang Heng is in charge of investigating Amidio's murder, please go to the Tiber River if you have a clue......"
"Is that all? It's just a word, but it's not that expensive. The painter received the silver coin.
"It's just words, but it's all over the walls of the building, so that everyone who passes by can see it at a glance."
"No problem." The painter accepted this heavy money and immediately began to devote himself to the work, and stopped painting half of the small advertisements he had painted before, and wrote a clue for Zhang Heng with all his might.
"Will this be useful?" Dekius looked at the large writing on the wall and was skeptical.
"Well, I think we'll know tomorrow." Zhang Heng patted Daichius on the shoulder again, "That's all for today, Watson, let's go home for dinner, after a day of traveling, I also have to have a good rest, and we will continue tomorrow." ”
Being reminded by Zhang Heng, Dai Chius remembered that his stomach was already rumbling with hunger, but because of a series of things that happened after that, he even forgot about eating, in fact, he found that he had no appetite now, and said with a worried face, "Do we really want to investigate this matter, we have already found out that human lives are coming, who knows what will happen next, will we also become targets?" ”
Zhang Heng nodded when he heard this, "I can't rule out this possibility, but I am the gladiatorial champion of the Flavi Amphitheater, the advisor of His Majesty the Emperor, not a small character like Amidio, it will be more difficult to kill me and there will be a lot of trouble afterwards, so strictly speaking, you will only be in danger next." ”
“…………”
"But you don't have to worry, you're just my Watson, and as long as I'm alive, there's no point in killing you." Zhang Heng comforted.
Dachius sighed again, but said nothing, and went home preoccupied.
And when he returned home, it was already past dinner, and Daichius was not a sister-in-law, so of course he did not expect everyone to wait for him to come back to eat, but when he went to the kitchen hungry, he was told that the kitchen did not leave him dinner.
After a busy day, and the fire in his belly was all lit, he was about to settle accounts with the servant who cooked the meal, but when he saw another person in the kitchen, he was deflated.
The man was an old servant who served his brother Nino, and Dachius knew at once who was targeting him tonight, his mother was only a slave, and he was the product of his father's one-night stand, so he had been in an awkward position in the house, untreated by his brother-in-law and his mother.
Knowing that he would suffer in the end, he did not talk any more, but turned around and went straight to his lodging, where his wife had bought him dinner from outside.
While eating dinner, Dachius asked his wife, "Did Nino harass you again today?" ”
Daichius's wife hesitated, but finally nodded, "It's not a big deal, he just pays lip service." ”
"That bastard, his good life won't last long." Dachius sneered.
Daichius's wife seemed to be worried that his words would be heard, and after looking left and right, she whispered, "He is your younger brother after all, and he is making a big fuss, who do you think your father will favor?" ”
"I don't care what the old guy thinks, I'll never be part of this family anyway." Dekius said.
"Don't say that, he paid for our living expenses, and he got you a job."
"It's only temporary." "But don't worry, I've found a way to get into the Senate soon, and then we won't have to send someone to the fence." ”
"Senate? But you're not a son-in-law. ”
"I don't rely on the old guys, I have my own way." Daikius said mysteriously, and he came to the bed with his wife in his arms, "But before that, I will continue to play the role of the incompetent angry brother here, and I have wronged you." ”
"And how are you going to compensate me?" Dechius's wife bit her lip and looked at her husband with affectionate eyes.
"I'll give myself to you tonight." Dekius laughed.
