Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Empty House

However, Mino also knows that no matter how much he thinks now, it is actually useless, just like the reasoning that seemed so rigorous before now finds that something is wrong as soon as it corresponds to reality. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Reasoning is always just a seemingly perfect conclusion based on known information and a few logical conjectures, and as long as there are unknown factors as variables, then Mino's conjecture will be like a rootless pinch, a wave that passes and disappears like a bubble.

It is not impossible that the staff had just been taken by someone else, and that there was something hidden in the door of the thief's cabinet that would have allowed that person to do something like that to the door, and that Muhammad had just happened to be absent, so that the clerks were not at all prepared.

Even the thief couldn't open it himself, so he dismantled the cabinet door first, because he cherished his own things, so he did it so carefully, this kind of thing is possible.

In the final analysis, Mino's inference is just a guess, something that is not true in the first place, and there is no need to speculate on the basis of it.

So Mino, despite having a bad premonition, decided to find Muhammad first and then say something else.

Maybe it's Mino's domineering inferences and assertions that scared Valya, a little girl who doesn't know how to use her head, and made her a brain-dead fan admirer of Detective Mino, or maybe Valya, although simple, can also distinguish the occasion, and it can be seen that Mino is now very anxious and in a bad mood.

In short, Valya strangely did not make a questioning voice about Mino's headless and brainless behavior of running around with her again, and was as quiet as if the noisy and noisy Valya and him were two people before.

In normal times, Mino might be interested in exploring the changes in the little girl's form, but unfortunately now Mino does not have the time to spare, and he is very eager to find Muhammad to find out the truth.

You must know that he had already begun to think about what kind of words he wanted to use to explain the purpose and reason of his trip in the most concise way before leaving, but he didn't expect Valya's change to leave him with this effort.

According to the clerk of Muhammad, when Muhammad was not in the shop, as long as he was not busy with business, there were usually only a few places to go, but most of these places were public places for socializing and pleasure.

If Muhammad had really done what Mino had assumed, and had taken his broken ambition so seriously that he could risk the destruction of his family fortune to escape Mino's possible recovery, he would never have gone to these places.

At the same time, it is only hearsay to get rid of those clerks, and it is still uncertain whether they exist or not, so there is no specific address of the lover's residence at all, and in the end there is only one target that Minoan can choose.

That was Muhammad's house.

Although Muhammad's shop was large enough to accommodate his family, the owner of the jewelry store was not one of those bitter little traders who ran handicraft workshops and small shops, and the jewelry business had expanded to other cities and even had vague connections with other countries, and Muhammad was completely upper-class in the city of Patneno, so he naturally would not do such a humiliating thing as eating and living in the shop.

So although he usually stayed in the shop, he had a separate mansion in the upper part of the city that was perfectly suited to his financial resources and status, and according to the clerk, Mohammed would sometimes return to his home to rest and rest when he was tired from business, and if Mino went there, he would most likely find him.

The upper part of a city is not so easy to visit, and in order to ensure the safety and tranquility of the dignitaries who live in it, the entry and exit checks can be described as quite strict, even if the city of Patneno is a small and medium-sized city.

Fortunately, Mino's status as a priesthood easily solves this problem, even if Minoan does not hold any valuable position in the Church of the Most High God, but as a priesthood who has entered the door, they are born with an identity equivalent to half of the nobility, which is common to the whole continent, even those forces hostile to the church, they can ignore it, but they can't help but admit it.

So Mino, who showed his light, was easily let away by the guards, and stood at Muhammad's door without much effort.

Although Mino, who was a little impatient at this time, looked at the thick gate, and had the urge to split open it with a sword, and then rushed in and grabbed Muhammad's neck to ask for the truth, his speculation had not yet been confirmed, and if he rashly resorted to violent means, it would be very embarrassing to go wrong in the end, and it was still a trivial matter, and there was no reason to use force in the upper part of a city, but it was very likely to offend the upper echelons of the entire city.

So even if he was impatient, Mino could only suppress his impulse and walk up and knock on the door very politely.

"Is Mr. Mohammed here? I am Mino, with whom I traded gems with you yesterday. ”

Although Mino's way of knocking on the door was completely in line with the etiquette norms, no one came to open the door no matter how Mino's knock and how he made a sound, and after knocking on the door for the last time and no one opened the door, Mino sighed helplessly.

A sword light as clear and bright as the silver moon in the mountains spilled out from Mino's waist like mercury, and then disappeared into invisibility after a moment, Mino pulled out the star chaser, and the sharp blade cut the door lock of the gate in half with only one sword, and then Mino's sword was retracted, and then with a gentle push, Shi Shiran opened the door that couldn't be knocked open.

"Is anyone there? The door wasn't closed just now, and it's really disturbing to come in rashly, can you come out and let me apologize?"

Speaking nonsense that he didn't believe, Mino shouted loudly from Muhammad's mansion with Valya.

Originally, Mino thought that there should be a butler or doorman to reprimand him angrily, but to Mino's surprise, no matter what he called, no one came out, not even the guards with swords, and the whole house was silent, as if it were a haunted house, only the voice that Mino had just made echoed in the house.

In this way, the bad feeling in Mino's heart became stronger and stronger, and he didn't even care about the possible consequences, and rummaged through the house, but to Mino's horror, no matter how he searched, he didn't find any creatures, and there was no one in this palatial mansion, it was completely empty! )
