Chapter 375: A Little Favor
Seeing that Amir's attitude was much better than he expected, Tang Juyi also smiled again, no longer as aggressive as before:
"Of course, I'm not here to accuse you, though, in fact, I've searched for a rather interesting clue."
Emile was thinking about the "Law of Haichao City" mentioned by Tang Juyi before, and when he heard Tang Juyi's words, he was also stunned for a moment:
"Interesting clues?"
Tang Juyi nodded, took out a newspaper from his arms, and mentioned a major shipwreck that occurred in the misty sea:
"You probably know something about the forbidden shipwreck, but the locals refuse to talk about it, so it's hard to know the specifics of the shipwreck...... However, I know of a man who came to this island a long time ago and set out to investigate the connection between the hallucinations of death, the massive shipwreck, and the belief in the gods. β
Amir took the newspaper and looked at it:
"A long time ago? One of those outsiders before you? Who is it? β
Tang Juyi's expression was very natural:
"A woman named Jiang Shuiyue is, according to my guess, a profession similar to that of a journalist or a historical researcher. From what I've got, she disappeared two months ago, probably something to do with something she's investigating. I think that if we can find out where she is, it will help us unimaginably. β
After a little thought, Amir also agreed with Tang Juyi's point of view:
"Indeed, if you had been on the island months earlier, you would probably have known a lot of secrets. But...... Why don't you borrow the power of the Phil family, but come to me for help? β
Although Tang Juyi did not say it explicitly, Emile could know the purpose of Tang Juyi's revelation of this clue by simply thinking about it - he wanted to use the low-ranking nobles that Emile had befriended to obtain information.
Tang Juyi faced Amir's tentative questioning and showed a very calm appearance:
"It's just double insurance. Not to mention that the Phil family will only be willing to help me after I have completed their mission, and even if I ask for it after the mission is completed, they may hide it from me, for example, if the woman's disappearance has anything to do with them. β
"Of course, this is just speculation, but it is not my style to hope in one place, and with the help of the forces behind you, then our progress will be much faster."
Hearing Tang Juyi's words, Emile didn't pick out any problems from it, although she still felt that Tang Juyi seemed to be hiding something unspoken, but she couldn't question it:
"If your message is correct, then I'd give it a try...... But it's not easy to find someone who has been missing for two months, especially on this island, and I think you should be well aware of that. β
Speaking of which, Emile stared at Tang Juyi's eyes:
"We're very similar people, so you should know how much of the calamity on this island can be...... I can almost guess that the missing investigator you're talking about is most likely suffering from something that could destroy human knowledge. β
Tang Juyi was unusually calm, knowing that what Emile was implying was the identity of the two of them as detached beings, and pointed out the special features of this "hell difficulty":
"I know, that's why I'm all the more desperate to find out where that person is."
Amir glanced deeply at Tang Juyi with her blue pupils (temporarily):
"Okay, I got it...... Having said that, although I don't quite understand why you didn't publicize your identity as an onmyoji to the outside world, I didn't reveal it without permission. If you have a new decision, it's a good idea to talk to me. β
Tang Juyi glanced out the window again, and seemed to just casually glance at the pedestrians on the street:
"I will. Also, for some special reason, I have to ask you to do me a small favor. β
Amir heard something not quite right from Tang Juyi's words:
"A little favor? How do I feel like you-"
The next moment, Tang Juyi suddenly got up and stepped forward, and stepped in front of Emir, in her surprised gaze, holding a stainless steel short knife, with a decisive and cruel look, a knife stabbed into her left chest!
Burst!
Before Emil could even scream, Tang Juyi covered her mouth with his other hand to prevent her from making a loud noise. The cold blade pierced through her flesh and even pinpointed through her ribs and deep into her chest.
The whole process was so swift that she didn't have any room to struggle.
"Shhhh
Tang Juyi's face was gloomy, and he used his body to suppress Amir's attempts to push him away, and he was still whispering something chilling.
"I'm sorry, if I had told you in advance, it wouldn't have been so real and unexpected, so I had to make this decision...... You just need to sleep quietly. β
The strength of Aimir's struggle became smaller and smaller, and her vision became darker and darker, and Tang Juyi's face in front of her became more and more blurred, but the indifferent look on it made her feel a chill that was more piercing than the short knife in her chest.
As the pupils of Emir in her arms were completely out of focus, the blood oozing from her chest had already stained most of their clothes red. Tang Juyi pulled out the short knife, wiped it on his clothes, and then retracted it to his waist again, and looked in the direction of the door of the house:
"The one outside, can you please come in? Your prophet is in some trouble! β
Hearing Tang Juyi's shout, the haggard man who had been waiting outside the door also pushed open the door, and at the same time leaned in with a suspicious expression:
"What? What's wrongβ"
When he saw Amir's body slumped on the sofa and the red blood dripping on the floor, his face changed instantly.
Tang Juyi was still wiping the blood on his hands with a handkerchief, with a calm expression:
"I stabbed her in the heart and was dead half a minute ago. That's the way it is, you may not believe it, but you can only accept it. β
As he spoke, Tang Juyi raised the pistol he had prepared and aimed it at the haggard man's chest:
"It's not a big problem, though, because you're going to be lying down with her soon."
Bang!
After the dull sound of falling to the ground, it was Tang Juyi's sigh:
"It's a real problem, and you have to waste another bullet."
Shaking his head, Tang Juyi walked to the sofa, dragged Amir's ankles, dragged her body all the way to the door of the house, stacked it on top of the emaciated man's body, and at the same time walked to the half-open door and peeked out.
That is, after the gunshot rang out, several black-clothed men who had been waiting next to the house walked out from all corners and walked quickly to the door of the house, until Tang Juyi looked around, and then they walked into the room together.
The door closed again, but the sound of cleaning could be heard inside.
The silent street corners were sparsely populated, but a few bodies could be seen lying across the ground in the shadows, all of whom had been sent by the nobles with whom Emile had befriended.
