Two One: Chasing the Murderer
It was the second half of the night when he returned to the inn, and the wine was strong, and Chen Shu fell asleep. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
This sleep was very sound, and it was not until three o'clock in the morning that Chen Shu was woken up.
To be exact, it was not a wake-up, but a punch and kick that woke me up.
As soon as they opened their eyes, a seventh-order mage and five sixth-order mages surrounded Chen Shu's bed, Chen Shu looked at them in a daze, and they also looked at Chen Shu, muttering in their hearts, "Is it him? This drunkard who looks like he is useless...... Killed the two sons of Admiral Mario?...... It's not like ah......"
"Name?" asked the Seventh-Order Mage at the head.
"Chen Shu. Chen Shu scratched the head of the chicken nest that had just fallen asleep, and said in confusion: "Several adults, I just joined the mage legion yesterday, is there something in the legion? Is ?......it going to set off for the Black Zelie Empire?"
"Shut up!" the seventh-order mage led by him interrupted Chen Shu's nagging impatiently, "Vice Admiral Mario is looking for you to ask questions, come with us!"
"Oh my God! Lieutenant Mario! I don't know him, but I know his two sons! Matthew and Marlon! Are they going to introduce me to Lieutenant Mario?! That's my honor!"
The ghost car on the natal tree pouted, "You're too good at loading!"
Chen Shu smiled, "Do a full set of acts!
"Shut up! Shut up!" the seventh-order mage was overwhelmed, if it weren't for the fact that Chen Shu might really be friends with the two dead Ma brothers, he would have been eager to plug Chen Shu's mouth with a stinky sock.
When I arrived at the mansion of Vice Admiral Mario, I saw that the mansion was covered with white cloth unique to funerals, and the cry of the female dependents resounded throughout the mansion.
"This ...... What's going on?" Chen Shu was a little overwhelmed in surprise.
The seventh-order mage who escorted him said impatiently: "Hmph, the two sons of Marlon and Matthew were assassinated last night!"
"What?!" Chen Shu was shocked, "How could it be?
Chen Shu even shed two tears of regret in his eyes, "I don't know each other, I wanted to gain a firm foothold in the mage legion with the strength of the two sons, hey, now that these two backers have fallen, why am I so unlucky......"
"You don't think I killed the two sons, do you?" Chen Shu seemed to react suddenly, and anxiously defended: "It's definitely not me! I tell you, you have found the wrong person, and I am wronged......
The seventh-order mage was already annoyed, but fortunately, Chen Shu had already arrived at the study room where Vice Admiral Mario usually used his office.
"Hmph, we don't care if you killed it, you tell Master Mario to go. Leaving Chen Shu behind, the seventh-order mage Fei also left, he seemed to hate listening to people's nagging.
The study, I don't know if it's cloudy, the light is very dim.
There was only one lieutenant in the room, and in the backlight, Chen Shu couldn't see his face clearly, but he could feel it with his divine sense, this was an old man with a heart like ashes, and under that layer of ashes, there was blazing anger, rage, and hatred.
Chen Shu didn't speak, as if he was shocked by the old man's place.
The old man looked at Chen Shu, Chen Shu had just performed outside the door, and the old man could see it clearly, he had already made up his mind, he would rather kill 10,000 by mistake than miss one.
However, Chen Shu was the last person the two brothers had seen yesterday, and if he could provide some useful clues, perhaps the identity of the murderer would be clear.
"You said you didn't kill my son?" the old man finally spoke.
"It's really not me! How dare I do this? Besides, although I had a conflict with the two sons yesterday, and even we made a move, but in the end we turned our rivalry into jade silk and reconciled!" As he spoke, Chen Shu seemed to remember something, and said excitedly: "That's right! Yesterday Ma Long Gongzi announced in public that I was his brother - of course, how could I be qualified to call the two sons brothers and sisters - the mages present at the time all heard it, I don't believe you can ask someone......"
Of course, Mario knew what Chen Shu said, otherwise he wouldn't have arrested Chen Shu.
He frowned and waved his hand, as if he hated Chen Shu's verbosity as much as the captain of the guard just now, Chen Shu quickly shut up "acquaintance".
"Why did you suddenly reconcile? What did you say to Long Er in private?"
Chen Shu was just about to speak, but Mario said in a strange manner: "I warn you, don't play tricks, dare to lie to me, you are sure that Gu will make you suffer." ”
I didn't expect that the worm that was swallowed alive by the ghost car could still come in handy.
Chen Lima pretended to be sincerely frightened and said, "What we talked about in private is about a female mage. ”
"Female mage?"
"Yes, on the way to participate in the recruitment of the mage legion, I met this beautiful female mage, in fact, I don't even know her name, but I asked her about the recruitment process, she was friendly to me, and we came to the mage recruitment point together. ”
"The rest of the story, as you know, I got into a fight with Matthew. At the critical moment, Malone appeared, he thought that the beautiful female mage was familiar with me, and asked me to match them, otherwise he would join forces with Matthew to beat me. ”
"I'm not the opponent of the two sons, so I had to agree first, and I agreed with Ma Long that he would meet the female mage in the evening, and the location was made at Juxian Tower. ”
Hearing the words "Juxian Building", Mario clenched his fists.
Chen Shu continued: "That female mage heard that Ma Long's prince had an appointment, she was naturally very happy, and said that she would go to Juxian Tower to make an appointment, as for me, I just wanted to get out, I haven't been to Juxian Tower at all since I left the recruitment point of the mage legion, let alone seen the two sons. ”
"Female mage ......" Mario stared at Chen Shu, as if he wanted to see every frame of the picture in his memory, he knew what kind of virtue his two sons were, the eldest son Marlon couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman, and the second son Matthew made trouble all day long, Chen Shu's narration was indeed in line with Ma Long's character.
Then he asked gloomily, "Who can prove it for you?" ”
"You're going to make it difficult for me...... I can't prove that I didn't go to the Immortals...... No," a glint of hope appeared in Chen Shu's eyes, "I was drinking with Li Qinglin last night, and he can help me prove it!"
"Li Qinglin?" Mario was a little confused, "You mean my guard captain Li Qinglin?"
"Yes, when the mage was recruited, Captain Li Qinglin kindly reminded me not to provoke the two sons of Marlon and Matthew, I think he is very easy to talk to, so I want to stammer him more, and I can have a backer in the future, so I brought wine and food and gold and silver gifts, and took the liberty to visit ......"
Mario thought for a moment with a blushing face, any seventh-order cultivation captain is a national treasure, even if he is a lieutenant, he can't be punished and killed casually, involving Li Qinglin, things will not be easy to handle.
"Call Li Qinglin. ”
Someone outside the house immediately answered, and after a while, Li Qinglin, who was wearing a guard uniform, walked into the study, and when he saw Chen Shu, Li Qinglin first showed a surprised expression, and then he bowed respectfully to Mario.
"You had a drink with this guy last night?" asked Mario directly.
Li Qinglin hesitated, not knowing what the answer to this question meant.
"Just tell the truth, and I promise it doesn't matter to you whatever this answer involves. ”
