Chapter 225: Investigating the Assassins
Looking at the figures of several elders in the distance, Shen Xianhe's gaze always stayed on Mo Yu, remembering Mo Yu's gaze just now, it flickered and flickered, so that she couldn't really see what he was thinking.
However, even if Mo Yu is trying to cover it up, or continue to act in front of people as if nothing happened, she can't expose him now, because even if she testifies now that Mo Yu injured her, there is no evidence, but she will fall into Mo Yu's trap.
Therefore, after being sure that she would not open her mouth to tell the truth, Mo Yu would follow Mo Yue and Morey so unscrupulously to appear in front of her, and pretend to come to visit her.
Thinking of this, Shen Xianhe sneered, since Mo Yu was so confident, let him be proud for a while, anyway, he wouldn't have much time to be arrogant.
After bidding farewell to the elders and leaving, Shen Xianhe returned to his courtyard, and after just sitting down and taking a sip of tea, No. 1 returned.
"Miss, my subordinates have followed your instructions to look around the top master's house where Mo Yu is hiding secrets."
"How?"
Shen Xianhe's eyes froze.
"As you might expect, the neighbors around him don't know that this person is a top master, thinking that he is just an ordinary person, and this person is a small trader, and the impression left by the neighbors on weekdays is that he is kind and rarely has conflicts with others."
"Has the relationship between this person and Mo Yu been investigated?"
"Miss Huiyu, I have found out that this person used to be a miscellaneous subordinate of Elder Mo Yu's brother's family, and later after Brother Mo Yu passed away, he left, however, this is all an illusion, the subordinates found out that Mo Yu and this person had a good relationship before, Mo Yu never regarded him as a person, because of Mo Yu's relationship, the two had a chance to worship a master as a teacher, and learned martial arts together, and later, after Mo Yu's brother's accident, Mo Yu became an elder, and this person broke off contact with Mo Yu, The man returned to his house and began to appear to the world as a peddler, and the two had nothing to do with each other. ”
After listening to No. 1's reply, Shen Xianhe secretly thought.
Unexpectedly, there is such a story in the middle, before she thought that this person was a master invited by Mo Yu from somewhere, but she didn't expect that there was such a connection between the two, and she didn't know what happened back then? Let them avoid suspicion so much, and pretend not to know each other for so many years?
Thinking of this, Shen Xianhe continued to raise his head and ask No. 1 Dao.
"What else did you find?"
"Also, from the mouths of the people around, I heard that this people love to drink on weekdays, and often go to the liquor store to buy wine with the money they earn that day after selling things and collecting the stalls, and when they earn more, they will buy some good wine, and when they earn less, they will buy ordinary wine, and when they get home, they will be drunk like mud, but no matter how drunk they are, they will wake up as usual and go to the stall the next day."
"Even the night Mo Yu went to find him, he still went to set up a stall? Hasn't it been interrupted? ”
"Well, the subordinate asked the neighbors around him and said that no matter what happened, even if he was sick, he would still go to set up a stall and never stop."
"What a weirdo!" Shen Xianhe commented silently in his heart.
"What is he selling?"
"It's all kids' gadgets, Trojan horses, or fans or something."
"It's really strange that these things he sells allow him to buy alcohol every day? Does anyone buy it every day? ”
"My subordinates observed for a day today and found that there were really people, although there were not many of them, but the children on the street especially liked to go to him to buy them."
After asking all the questions that should be asked, Shen Xianhe fell into deep thought, and after a long time, he raised his head to look at No. 1 and commanded in a low voice.
Number One, who had been told by her again, began to act.
Shen Xianhe was not idle, and after No. 1 acted according to her instructions, she took the maids of the Holy Maiden's Mansion to Morey's Mansion.
Morey, although surprised by her sudden visit, greeted her warmly.
"Is there something wrong with the saint suddenly coming to the old man's mansion?"
Shen Xianhe sat on the main seat in Morey's politeness in a dignified and elegant manner before he said with a smile.
"What? Can't I come and visit Elder Morey? Or is Elder Morey not welcoming me? ”
Morey hurriedly waved his hand.
"The saint misunderstood, how could the old man not welcome the saint, but the saint came too suddenly, so that the old man didn't have time to prepare to welcome the saint, so he was a little panicked."
"Isn't that mine?"
Shen Xianhe continued to talk to Morey.
"The saint is serious, it is the old man who is negligent, how can it be the saint's daughter, please ask the saint to not blame the old man for poor hospitality."
After a few idle words, Shen Xianhe didn't waste time and began to get back to business.
"Elder Morey doesn't have to mind, I didn't tell you in advance, besides, my sudden visit today is also because I need to discuss something with the elders, so I also ask the elders to temporarily put the people around me back and let me talk to the elders in detail."
Seeing that Shen Xianhe was in good shape, Morey hurriedly waved his hand to let the subordinates who were serving around retreat.
"Stand down and wait outside the door."
"Yes."
After the people around him retreated, Morey asked her.
"I wonder if the saint has something to talk to the old man alone?"
Shen Xianhe got up from the main seat, walked up to him, and said in a low voice.
"That's right, wasn't I assassinated by an assassin the other day? When the elder heard about this at that time, he was so angry that he couldn't do it, and he was upset for me, and even took on the task of chasing the assassin for me, and the elder did these things for me, I was very moved, although I am a saint, I have been living abroad since I was a child, I am not familiar with Miao Jiang at all, and naturally I don't know much about several elders, but Elder Morey's concern for me, I see it all, and the person who can trust is naturally only the elder, so please ask the elder to help me! ”
Shen Xianhe pretended to be extremely weak, looking at Morey with pitiful eyes, and the tone of his voice couldn't help but give rise to a desire to protect.
Sure enough, her pitiful appearance instantly made the macho Morey feel a desire to protect.
"Holy Maiden, don't worry, it is the duty of the old men to protect you, if you have anything, just give orders, and the old man cannot be rejected."
After seeing Morey take the bait, Shen Xianhe continued to speak with a pitiful attitude.
"The elder also knows that although I am a saint, most of the time, I can't guarantee my safety, especially the last time, not long after I arrived in Miao Jiang, I was targeted by assassins, until now, I don't know why those assassins killed me? Not even the Elder has yet found the assassin who killed me. ”
Hearing her confide in her, Morey felt very guilty.
"It's all the old man's fault, while failing to protect the saint well, he hasn't been able to catch the assassin, and even the saint is worried all day long, it's the old man's incompetence."
Hearing this, Shen Xianhe took advantage of the fact that Mo Lei didn't notice, and the smoke quickly flowed, and continued to speak with a pitiful appearance.
"How can you blame the elders, you can only blame those who have bad intentions, besides, how can you blame the elders for being incompetent, you can only say that the gangster is too cunning and misleads the elders' judgment."
Hearing her say this, Morey reacted quickly to understand the meaning of her words.
"Listen to the meaning of the holy woman...... Could it be that the assassin has already been found? ”
Shen Xianhe nodded.
"That's exactly what I'm visiting the elders today."
Morey's eyes showed murderous intent.
"Who is it?"
"Actually, I'm not sure, but I remember that when I was chased by the assassins that day, in the process of avoiding his pursuit, although I couldn't spy on his true face, his figure couldn't be hidden, plus I threw something at him at that time, broke his head, and I remember the location of the wound, so when I was wandering around the street yesterday, I saw a vendor, and I felt a little like the person who assassinated me that day."
After Morey heard this, the murderous aura in his eyes was put away, and he looked at her with some embarrassment and said.
"Holy Maiden, I know that you are still haunted by the assassination of that day in your heart, and even worried that he will do it, but please rest assured, we have rearranged the master to protect you by your side, and we will not let the events of that day happen again, but the thing you are talking about now, the other party is just an ordinary person, and you are only suspicious, there is no evidence, if I rashly go out to arrest, it will cause the people to resist, and when the time comes, it will have a great impact on you or me."
Shen Xianhe smiled at him soothingly.
"Elder Morey is too worried, I know, I just suspect it now, and there is no evidence, but I thought of a way, if it is proved that this person knows martial arts, then whether he is the assassin or not, please ask Elder Morey to ask him to investigate, after all, you know, if I don't catch this assassin for a day, I will not be able to sleep well, I would rather catch the wrong one, accompany me, and not miss any possibility, in this way, the elder will not feel embarrassed?"
Facing Shen Xianhe's seductive lips, Morey nodded slowly.
"It was my responsibility to investigate this matter and track down this assassin, since there is suspicion, how can the old man let it go, so, as long as this person really knows martial arts, the old man will arrest him for interrogation, but, the old man doesn't understand something, how can the holy woman prove that this people know martial arts?"
"Elders don't have to worry about this matter, it's on me, I have my own arrangements, but after confirmation, I'll leave the rest to the elders."
"Don't worry, as soon as he shows his martial arts, the old man will immediately arrest him and bring him back for interrogation, and he will definitely give the saint an explanation."
