Chapter Twenty-Three: Do You Want to Make Meritorious Service?

Jiang Chen could think that Xin Liang might be killed.

I didn't expect it to be so soon.

What's even more incredible is that he was killed by two poisons.

Or poison in the early morning meal.

In any case, Xin Liang is a Sky Patrol Guard, and he is also an old man, so he will not be without food.

But he died of poison just after eating it, and there were two deadly poisons in one dish, which was a bit unbelievable.

The three people in the kitchen have been contained, waiting for review, combing step by step.

"It shouldn't be hard to find, right?" Hou Dali was shocked that Xin Liang was caught by Jiang Chen, so he kept asking endlessly, such as how could you be his opponent? Do you use beautiful men? Wait a minute.

When he came to the courtyard at this time, he changed the topic, "The food is poisonous, the kitchen is the center, and besides, from the time Xin Liang was arrested to the dawn, who knows?" Or who was on duty in the Sky Survey last night? I don't think it's three chefs. ”

"The possibility of the chef being poisoned is slim, but it cannot be ruled out." Jiang Chen nodded and said, "Nine times out of ten, the poisoner is in the courtyard, and I also know that Xin Liang has been arrested, and the scope is further reduced." If you weren't a chef, how could you avoid poisoning their eyes? ”

"Wouldn't it be easy to find it step by step?" Hou Dali's eyes lit up.

"Easy?" Jiang Chen shook his head, "The range is small, but there are a lot of people, because of the night before, a small half of the building was stayed yesterday, who can be discharged?" Who can be suspected? There is no conclusive evidence, and even if there is suspicion, it can only be pressed in the heart. ”

There are dozens of people in the Sky Survey Tower, but there are only three cooks, which is enough.

At this time, they stood honestly, all with confused faces.

Jiang Chen glanced at it, and there was no system information above their heads, indicating that they were not criminals.

Poisoning, that's the case.

He looked at Xiang Yan and sighed in his heart.

Because a message appeared above the other person's head.

Name: Xiang Yan

Qi refining: None

Refining: Quadruple (Cleansing: 212)

Alchemy: Tier 0 (8)

Talents: None

Sin: 3 (Level 1)

The morning meeting has not yet been shown, but now it is.

It's already clear.

Poison the flames.

also said in the past, after all, Xin Liang knew his details, and once it was exposed, he would definitely not be able to get better.

But who would have thought he was one of them?

Who threw the other poison?

He didn't even notice it.

Jiang Chen thought about it for a while, then quietly pulled Hou Dali to the corner, and he said in a low voice: "Do you want to make meritorious contributions?" ”

"Of course!" Hou Dali's voice was also lowered, but his face was excited, "Brother Chen, do you know who poisoned you?" ”

"I'm a little sure, but it's not big, do you dare to gamble?"

"I don't dare what others say, but I dare what you say."

"Okay, you go to the Yan family now, there should be evidence hidden in the wall of the latrine behind the courtyard. You go now and look carefully. ”

"Good!"

Hou Dali turned around and left, without even asking how Jiang Chen got the information.

Liu Lao in the distance glanced at this side, flashed a thoughtful look, and walked this way.

Eventually, the landlord arrived, and asked everyone to stay in the courtyard or hall, not to wander around, and wait for the review.

Heiyi and several others took the three cooks to the kitchen for interrogation while looking for evidence.

"Targeted?" Liu Lao asked, but it was a secret method of sound transmission.

Jiang Chen nodded, then pointed to the corner.

The two walked over.

"Old Liu!" Jiang Chen lowered his voice to the extreme, "I once passed by a place called the Wang Family Tavern, and I accidentally saw Xin Liang and Xiang Yan, the two of them seemed to be arguing, but they tried their best to restrain themselves. In the end, the two separated, and I overheard Xin Liang secretly scolding Xiang Yan a few times, and what else was there, the toilet and the like, I didn't hear it clearly, and I didn't care about it at the time. But now that Xin Liang has been poisoned, I thought of the beginning, so I asked Dali to go and investigate. ”

"Be thoughtful, plan and then act, good!" Liu Lao nodded, "This kind of thing must not be revealed before there is conclusive evidence, and the most taboo thing about internal affairs is random speculation, otherwise people's hearts are easily confused, and it will also lead to a situation where everyone is in danger." ”

After explaining, he wandered around the yard.

It didn't take long for Hou Dali to come back out of breath.

Jiang Chen pulled him to the corner and hid his tracks.

"Found it!" Hou Dali took out a few letters from his arms.

Jiang Chen took it, but didn't open it.

After waiting a little, Liu Lao came pacing.

Hou Dali hurriedly showed a respectful look, and kept squeezing his eyes at Jiang Chen, as if asking: What should I do if this old one-eyed person finds out?

Jiang Chen ignored it and handed the letter directly to Liu Lao.

"Did you see it?" Liu Lao asked after taking it.

"Nope!" Hou Dali was the first to answer, "I searched for a while but didn't find it, and finally I was annoyed, and I directly smashed the wall of the latrine, only to find out, and then hurried back." Look at me, it's dirty. ”

"Neither do I." Jiang Chen shook his head.

"Good." Liu Lao said, "There are some things that it is better not to know, otherwise, it is easy to fall into a whirlpool." ”

He opened one and looked at it, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

"Old Liu, are you sure?" Jiang Chen hurriedly asked.

Hou Dali's eyes widened as well.

"It's confirmed." Liu Lao nodded, and shook the envelope, "This credit is a bit hot, do you two want it?" ”

Hou Dali looked at Jiang Chen.

"Yes!" Jiang Chen did not hesitate, "Old Liu, I am alone now, but I am not afraid of retaliation, besides, we can be afraid of the ghosts in the dark." ”

"Good!" Liu Lao smiled and handed the three letters to Jiang Chen, "Let's go, go and identify them." ”

Meanwhile.

Hou Mansion, in the gazebo.

Middle-aged Taoists and luxurious old men sit here.

It's just the gloomy look on the old man's face.

"Failed again?"

"Failed, and was captured alive."

"Didn't you say foolproof?"

"It was foolproof. Real person, Jiang Chen's little guy is too smart, he was woken up by his seniors in the middle of the night, and he felt strange, so he didn't hesitate to make a move, and under the sneak attack, an important chess piece that I had planted in the Sky Survey Tower was abolished. ”

"That's not right!"

"Real person, what's wrong?"

"The first assassination, the strength was higher than Jiang Chen, but it was discovered in advance and counter-killed; The second time they are their own people, and their strength is still higher than that of the other party, and they are attacked and killed again? Don't you feel weird? There is no such coincidence in the world. ”

"What do you mean, real person?"

"That kid should have someone around to protect him. or notified in advance, or secretly shot, only to let him succeed twice in a row. In this way, the kid should be caught even more. ”

"As for it?"

"You don't understand, you don't understand, whether he discovers the secret in the White Python Mountain, or captures my Xiao Tiantian, I have to arrest him. By the way, since you were captured alive, aren't you worried? ”

"What's the use of worrying? Real person, don't worry, there are still our people over there, and they should have died out by now. ”

"That's good."

At this time, the butler came in a hurry, handed over a note, and quickly retreated.

When the old man opened it, his face changed suddenly.

"What's going on?"

"Real person, Xin Liang was poisoned, but he was killed by two kinds of poison."

"Two poisons? One of our people, what about the other? Why do you want to be poisonous and xinliang? Is it a personal vendetta? No, it's definitely not a personal grudge, otherwise it wouldn't have been done at this juncture. So, Xin Liang has mastered the other party's secret? Are the two connected? DID YOU KNOW? ”

"I, I, I ......" the old man opened his mouth, his face was gloomy and terrible, "He actually hid it from me, Xin Liang, you are good Xin Liang, you dare to hide me, is this looking for a way back for yourself?" Oh, you died too cheaply. ”

"Poisoning Xin Liang, will it have something to do with us?"

"This ...... Probably not. Real person, why do I feel uneasy when you say this?"

"Maybe we're overthinking. Next, you plan well, catch that kid back for me, be fast, once there is really an accident in the White Python Mountain, it will be a disaster for your Hou Mansion. By the way, try again and see if you can save Xiaobai? By the way, how is the exploration of White Python Mountain? ”

"I'll try as much as I can." The old man's mouth was bitter, "None of the people sent have returned." ”

"Have the breath I left behind and haven't come back? That's the trouble, send it again! ”

"Good!"

The two drank tea silently.

After a while, another message came.

"One of the poisoners has been caught, it's Xiang Yan, how could it be him?"

The old man looked confused.

For Xiang Yan, he knows.

I have joined the Sky Survey for more than ten years, because I was injured, I have been single, conscientious, meticulously performing the tasks of the Sky Survey, hard work, and no bad habits.

How could it be him?

It shouldn't be him!

"Real person, my uneasy feeling is even stronger, is this Xiang Yan a pawn of other forces, in order to target us?"

"If it's to keep an eye on you, no, it's the Hou Mansion."
