Chapter XVII: The Real Mission

The four of them easily transported the prisoner to the Tsutenkaku and quietly ascended to the seventh floor.

When the woman at the door saw the four of them, she smiled slightly, and led them into the house. After that, she went upstairs again, and with her was Elder Wu, one of the previous principals.

"Oops! Sure enough, I didn't see the wrong person! You've done it so quickly! When Elder Wu saw the four of them, he was also smiling, and he was very warm and kind.

Jian Min said: "Yes, faster than expected. ”

"Lin Bei, go and see Jian Min's injury." Elder Wu spoke, and the woman guarding the door stepped forward to check Jian Min's injury, "Xiaobei is a priest, with her, you will be fine." ”

Ye Jia listened to the conversation between the two and felt that something was wrong.

"Elder Wu, how do you know she's injured? Also, how do you know we're done? ”

Elder Wu looked at Ye Jia and the others, then at the meteor lying unconscious on the ground, sat back in his chair, and said, "Then take advantage of Jian Min's healing efforts, and listen to me slowly." ”

According to Elder Wu, their mission actually had two lines: light and dark. Obviously asked them to go to the bamboo forest to arrest the murderer, but secretly confessed to Jian Min as a bait to lure out the murderer.

"Bait? How to lure? ”

Elder Wu looked at Thorn Wind and continued, "Originally, we held a hero conference, which was notified by the whole system. That is, not only you can hear it, but the murderer can hear it too. The cabinet master judged that the murderer would be mixed in and come to the hero conference. ”

Ye Jia was puzzled, how could this be judged?

Elder Wu explained, "At first, this was just an inference of the Pavilion Master, and it could also be said to be a test. Because according to our investigation, the murderer is very bold, basically does not avoid people, and has a bad taste. We thought that if he knew that there was such an event against him, he might be willing to take the risk. ”

Ye Jia somewhat understood, "Then if you want to really participate in this activity, you must pass the assessment." Combined with the identity of the Assassin, it is very likely that it is him. ”

"Ahem, Brother Jia, he's not the only assassin, don't forget me!" Listening to the words of these two people, Thorn Wind didn't seem to take himself into account, and he was very angry.

Elder Wu smiled and said, "Naturally, there are still you." So we weren't able to directly determine which of the two of you might have been the murderer. That's why there is the next step to let Jian Min be the bait. ”

"That's right, yesterday you were all gone, and I'm left with Thorn Wind. But after that, Thorn Wind also went to other places, and the Pavilion Master personally told me about the second step of the plan. Jian Min was cured and stood up to speak. The pavilion master judged that if the murderer was really one of the two of you, then this time going to the bamboo forest would definitely not just mix in the fun, but it was very likely to start. The Pavilion Master told me to keep an eye on it. ”

Ye Jia said: "So, the pavilion master handed over the opening ceremony plate to you?" ”

Jian Min nodded, "If the murderer wants to do it, it can only be when he is alone." As soon as Meteor proposed to act separately just now, I didn't think it was good. But at that time, the stinging wind rushed out quickly, and it also created the possibility of being alone, which cannot be completely ruled out. It wasn't until the stabbing wind went far away and you caught up with it, and the instrument disc still showed a strong signal, that I knew that he was the target of his attack. ”

Zheng Jian nudged the stabbing wind, "Who made you so reckless, and almost hurt others." ”

Thorn Wind clasped his hands to his chest, "Hmph! If I hadn't rushed out, how would I prove my innocence? How do you get him to expose the fox's tail? ”

"But you're still putting Jane in danger, aren't you?" Although Ye Jia was not at the scene outside the bamboo forest at that time, he also imagined Jian Min's mental journey, and he must have been very nervous. He felt that the plan was still too risky, if it was a wrong step at the time......

Jian Min preemptively said: "Although I was mentally prepared at that time, I didn't expect his strength to be really strong, if I hadn't interfered with him with that arrow at that time, although I wouldn't have lost my life, I might still be injured." ”

"By the way, did you throw the arrow? I want to thank you so much. Jian Min turned to the stabbing wind and said.

"Don't thank me, it's Brother Jia." Thorn Wind hurriedly pointed at Ye Jia. At that time, the thorn wind was the first to rush out, and Jian Min thought that it was normal for him to be the same.

Jian Min said to Ye Jia embarrassedly, "Ye Jia, thank you!" I didn't expect you to practice the secret weapon so well! ”

Ye Jia scratched his head in embarrassment, smiled and accepted Jian Min's thanks. He wasn't used to being thanked for him, and besides...... He was aiming at Meteor himself, and it took a slight deviation to hit the tip of the sharp knife.

He looked down and saw the meteor that was still lying down, and asked Elder Wu, "What are you going to do with a murderer like Meteor?" ”

Elder Wu replied solemnly, "Leave it to the Council of Elders for a public trial. ”
