Chapter 115: Please enter the urn
After noon, the guests of the Hexiang Pavilion gradually dispersed, and only some leftovers remained on the table. Some of the waiters were busy cleaning up the dishes, some were busy cleaning the floor, and some were busy counting the day's income and expenses. Gathering in front of the account desk to chat in their spare time, a casual humor can make them laugh from ear to ear.
At this time, no one expected that there would be customers visiting the proprietress at this time, and the waitresses hurriedly sorted out their clothes and changed into a smiling face to welcome customers, and one of them hurried upstairs.
After a while, Sylna, who smelled of oily smoke, came to the table where the two guests were and sat down: "I said that the two of you are really annoying, I just sent you away this morning, why are you back now? ”
The two people who came to visit were Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan, they glanced at each other, and decided that Mu Yunxi would say what he had been thinking about for a long time: "The purpose of our coming here is different from the morning, this time it is for the murder of Father Li, it is said that the Langtian Adventure Group has had contact with Ling Wenxuan, do you know about this?"
"I don't know, it's the first time I've heard you mention the name of this adventure group. Sylna replied dryly.
Seeing this, Liu Yuhan hurriedly threw a bag of Belen on the table: "The members of the Langtian Adventure Group are suspects in this case, if you can provide us with clues, the money will be yours." ”
Sylna opened the bag and saw the coins inside, and immediately smiled: "That's right! If you show this kind of sincerity this morning, I will say everything." ”
"Alright, tell us the whereabouts of the Wandering Sky Adventure Group. Liu Yuhan slapped his hand on the table.
"You have to ask my daughter about this, when my daughter was taken captive by the Heavenly Gift Sect to Grancia Village, it was the Langtian Adventure Group who rescued her. With that, Sylna clapped her hands and ordered her servants to call Kalia.
After a while, a little girl with long hair came to the crowd and told Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan about what had happened in Grancia Village, including how Ling Wenxuan had worked with the Langtian Adventure Group to rescue her from Lopelle.
The little girl's description matched the news Mu Yunxi had heard from the Herculera Monastery, and it wasn't until Kalia finished speaking that Mu Yunxi's mouth opened wide in shock.
"Okay, thank you for your cooperation!" Mu Yunxi stepped forward and wanted to shake hands with Kalia, but seeing that the other party looked very evasive, he had to call Liu Yuhan to a remote place.
"The Wandering Sky Adventure Group has done some good deeds, and it doesn't look like the murderer of Father Li. Liu Yuhan touched his chin and thought for a while, "Besides, they were also friends we know, didn't they?"
"I know this, but before I find out the identity of the person who didn't leave his name, I can't jump to conclusions, I think we'll ...... first" Before Mu Yunxi finished speaking, he heard a voice calling him in the distance, and when he raised his head, he saw that it was Jiang Jianfei hurrying over.
"I traveled all over Heglila Airport and asked the people in charge of immigration and immigration, and they didn't have the name of the Wandering Sky Adventure Group in their register. Jiang Jianfei sat on the chair and wanted to ask Hilna next to him for a glass of water to moisten his throat, but the other party ignored it and led his daughter back to the store.
Jiang Jianfei glanced at Sylna and asked Mu Yunxi if he had heard any clues in the Lotus Xiang Pavilion.
Mu Yunxi let out a long sigh and said, "Don't mention it, those news are not as useful as your words, at least we know that the Langtian Adventure Group did not leave Heglila by flight, maybe they are still in the city, maybe they left on foot." ”
"Oh, yes, I got you the news of the guy you're looking for. It is said that Yuna, a priest, a nun, and a rich lady did leave Hergrilla on a private spaceship. ”
"What did you say, when did they leave?" Mu Yunxi stood up excitedly.
"Yesterday around three o'clock in the afternoon. ”
"It looks like we're still a step too late. Liu Yuhan comforted Mu Yunxi, who fell on the chair, "Not this time, there is still hope next time, isn't it?"
"This young lady said it well! Life is all about not giving up any hope, you have so many opportunities. At that moment a man's voice came from the table opposite, and the man sat cross-squarely, as if waiting for them.
"Who are you, why did you interject for no reason?" Mu Yunxi muttered unhappily.
I saw that the man took off his top hat, came to Jiang Jianfei and bowed: "Mr. Jiang Jianfei, I am the secretary of Zhao Kai, the governor of Chilu Autonomous Prefecture. The Governor has asked me to convey that he has long admired your name and would like to invite you to a dinner party at the House tonight. ”
"Isn't it for me to help him solve a major case?" Jiang Jianfei laughed a few times, "Okay, tell Mr. Governor that I will visit him tonight." ”
"The governor also asked these two friends of yours to go with him. ”
"I'm not going, Lao Tzu has too many things to deal with, and besides, why let a foreign investigator visit the local governor, his hands are too long. ”
"Hey, Brother Yunxi, what you said is not right. Jiang Jianfei hurriedly pulled Mu Yunxi aside and whispered, "Do you think we are friends?"
"Sort of!"
"So as a friend, since I helped you, do you want to show something?"
"Well, what's this......" Mu Yunxi pondered for a while and said, "Okay, I'll give you this face, but I declare in advance that if that governor has any other requirements for me, I won't agree." ”
Jiang Jianfei was very satisfied with Mu Yunxi's answer, and when he turned around, his face was written with a smile that he couldn't help you, and then he talked to the governor's secretary for a few words, and accepted the business card with the governor's address and location.
At about eight o'clock in the evening, the carriage in charge of the pick-up and drop-off stopped in front of a white villa, and the butler pushed open the domed iron door and led everyone into the courtyard connected to the main building.
Eye-catching are manicured flower beds, abstract art statues, and fountains that emit curved water jets. The decorative lights not only make the courtyard more vivid and three-dimensional, but also do not make them silent in the dark night.
There was a middle-aged man with a beard standing in front of the entrance, and when he saw everyone, he greeted him with a smile on his face, holding Jiang Jianfei's hand tightly: "Chief Jiang, I finally look forward to you, I am Zhao Kai, the governor of Chiluo Autonomous Prefecture, welcome to the cold house!"
"I think Mr. Governor must have encountered something very troublesome when he was in such a hurry to find me, so I found you a few helpers. Jiang Feifei gestured to Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan beside him.
"Welcome, let's go inside. With that, Zhao Kai instructed the housekeeper to take them to the restaurant to sit down.
Crystal lamps stretch from one end of the ceiling to the other, and all the tables and chairs are carved from the finest nanmu wood, and most of the patterns are symbolic of auspicious beasts. A variety of dishes were placed on the table, and the fragrance permeated the whole spacious and bright room, and four maids stood on either side of the table.
The most interesting thing is the folding screen that surrounds the back of the main seat, on which the embroidered plum, orchid, bamboo, chrysanthemum flowers and trees complement each other, complementing each other, thus presenting a harmonious and tranquil beauty.
"Father, the guest you're looking for has come just in time. ”
When everyone heard the prestige, they saw a woman dressed in white like a light gauze walking out from behind the screen, as if she had just been in the fairyland in the painting, except for the long hair like a waterfall, her whole body was snow-white and flawless, and her lips were lightly opened, as if she was smiling but not smiling. The beautiful face makes people can't help but marvel: what a peerless beauty.
Zhao Kai smiled proudly: "Let me introduce, this is my daughter Zhao Cuiying." ”
"Miss Zhao's beauty is said to be the best in the world, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today. Jiang Jianfei gestured to shake hands with Zhao Cuiying, but the other party came to Mu Yunxi.
"Are you Mr. Mu Yunxi? ”
"Huh......? Fortunately, it ...... "It took a long time for Mu Yunxi's dull eyes to regain color.
"Miss Liu Yuhan, it's a pleasure to meet you. Zhao Cuiying then repeated the handshake with Mu Yunxi.
"Doubt, how do you know us?" Liu Yuhan lightly touched Zhao Cuiying's finger, and was suddenly surprised.
The other party did not make any answer, but sat quietly on the seat opposite Mu Yunxi, with Liu Yuhan's woman's intuition, judging from this woman's speech and demeanor, she must want to take advantage of Mu Yunxi, and she must be strictly guarded.
Next is the meal time, all kinds of delicacies from the mountains and seas are served to the table by the maids, which are beautiful and delicious, and the fragrance is overflowing, which makes people can't help but move their fingers.
But Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan didn't mean to put down chopsticks, Jiang Jianfei saw this, so he took a piece of pork belly and put it in his mouth, and said a lot of adjectives praising its deliciousness, so as to arouse the appetite of the two.
Seeing Jiang Jianfei's performance in such a high-profile manner, Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan had no choice but to thank Zhao Kai and start eating. His movements were very slow so as not to make too loud noises, after all, the more noble the person, the more particular about dining etiquette, if they did not follow the rules, they would embarrass the Jiang search officer, so whenever Mu Yunxi swallowed a small piece of steak, he looked in the direction of Zhao Kai and Jiang Jianfei, but the strange thing was that the two of them were surprisingly quiet, and they seemed to have forgotten the purpose of their coming here.
"Mr. Governor, tell us what you have to do, I'm still in a hurry. Mu Yunxi wiped her lips and put down the napkin.
"Well...... In fact, conservatives have been making trouble again lately. Zhao Kai frowned and sighed.
Jiang Jianfei couldn't help but echo: "Could it be that they still don't give up?"
Zhao Kai shook his head and said: "The assassination of conservatives is becoming more and more rampant now, some time ago my best friend, the staff officer of the Red Army, was shot dead, I suspect that the conservatives did it." It is said that in order to overthrow the rule of the reformers, they also hooked up with a gang of bandits called the Blood Shadow Order, and asked them to hide arms for them. ”
"There are two political factions in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture, one is the reformist faction led by Governor Zhao, and the other is the conservative faction who oppose the governor's implementation of the new policy, and the conservatives try to use a series of means to force Mr. Governor to step down, so the political situation in Chilu Autonomous Prefecture is very unstable now. Jiang Jianfei explained to Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan as he turned to Zhao Kai, "What are you going to do next?"
Zhao Kai slapped the table excitedly: "Eradicating the Blood Shadow Troupe needs your assistance." ”
"What are you kidding? Lao Tzu is the investigator of Panhu City in the Auswi-Hungarian Empire, I don't have the right to meddle in the internal affairs of your country, even if I want to interfere, there are more important things worth doing, why do you want me to help you. Mu Yunxi quickly stood up, looking more excited than Zhao Kai.
"Sit down!" Liu Yuhan pulled the corner of Mu Yunxi's clothes and pulled him back to his seat, and then smiled at Zhao Kai, "Mr. Governor, I'm sorry, this friend of mine is a little rude." But with regard to your request, we have to think about it before replying. ”
"No, I've already decided for you. Zhao Cuiying's face suddenly darkened, and she gently slapped her palms in her right ear, and then a team of guards armed with spears rushed into the restaurant and pointed their spears at Mu Yunxi and Liu Yuhan.
Mu Yunxi couldn't help but be angry: "Zhao Kai, what do you mean?"
Zhao Kai turned his wine glass and sneered: "Since you don't want to agree, I have to let you live with me for a while, and after a long time, you have forgotten all the secret just now, and then I will consider letting you out." ”
Mu Yunxi looked at Zhao Kai, and then at Jiang Jianfei, and found that the two of them had exactly the same cold expressions.
A good one invited you into the urn, and these two people really planned it early in the morning.
