Chapter 468: The Yao Clan's Eyes
Yutu has two common surnames, one is the white surname and the other is the Yue surname.
The former symbolizes the appearance of the Jade Rabbit family, and their hair is snow-white and thick, even if they are often shaved, this feature is still very clear.
Later, it comes from the off-road rabbit, which is a commemoration and worship of ancestors.
The prisoner who killed the serial murderer was called Yue Mu.
Bai Ding knows it.
Yue Mu is the kind of rabbit person who is loved by everyone, it is tall and big, has a hearty voice, and has an innate personal charm. If a conflict breaks out, it is always willing to adjust, and everyone is willing to listen to its persuasion.
If Bai Ding is the shame of the Jade Rabbit, then Yue Mu is what the Jade Rabbit should look like in people's minds.
When he was in Crystal City, Yue Mu also helped Bai Ding a lot.
"These jams are almost rotten, so if you don't like them, take them and eat them."
"The owner of the shop gave me a lot of potatoes, you can try them too, but don't expect it to be delicious."
"Can I drink? Some? β
"Don't be afraid, who will beat you? Tell me that we don't cause trouble, and we're not afraid. β
β¦β¦
In Crystal City, Yue Mu is the eldest brother of the Jade Rabbit.
Bai Ding never thought that the next time he would meet it was in Saniro's prison.
In the square stone room, Yue Mu's hands and feet were locked by heavy iron chains, and the thick flail made it very difficult for him to get up in place.
However, Yue Mu still looked smiling, and the snow-white front teeth that showed his gums looked very affinity.
"Long time no see, Adin."
Bai Ding said: "Long time no see. β
The current Bai Ding is no longer the confused and cyan running rabbit in Crystal City, it is an experienced wind collector who has interviewed and participated in the disintegration of the shell tribe, and has also tracked and reported many dangerous events.
"I'm here today as a collector of the Shacheng Mansion Newspaper to conduct a formal interview with you."
Bai Ding identified himself: "So, I'll go straight to the point." β
"Okay, you've become the number one person, it's good, the Jade Rabbit clan seems to have a way out."
The other party smiled: "Then you ask." β
"According to what I know, you have already bought a ranch and a restaurant in Crystal City at the beginning, and you have a good reputation in the local area, why did you suddenly move to Saniro?"
Bai Ding held the notebook in his hand and looked at the other party's red eyes.
"There are only two reasons for moving, running for the future and avoiding disasters."
Yue Mu moved his wrist, and the chain made a clattering sound.
"I left Crystal City for the same reason as you, there is no way out of that city for me."
Bai Ding wrote down on paper with charcoal and continued to ask: "Is it because of the operation of the ranch and the restaurant?" β
"Nope."
The other party shook his head: "The cattle and sheep in the pasture are not sick or damaged, and although the business of the restaurant is not hot, it also has a small profit." The problem is that the Jade Rabbit people. β
"Clansmen?"
An inexplicable smile appeared on Yue Mu's face: "If you have checked, you should also know." In the crystal city, the Jade Rabbit will basically look for me, whoever is in trouble, who is hungry, who is bullied, who commits an accident, will look for me. β
Bai Ding is also a witness.
In Crystal City, Yue Mu is indeed a reliable big brother.
"If I just have to think about my own life, it's easy. But in Crystal City, there are a lot of Jade Rabbits who rely on me to feed them and get a job. It's just a ranch and a restaurant, and it can't bear such a heavy burden. β
Yue Mu's nose moved: "You brought wine?" Why don't you take out a sip or two for me? β
Bai Ding took out a wooden pot from the box and handed it to the other party: "Originally, it was forbidden to bring foreign items inside, but I thought of many ways to get the guards to agree." β
"Hahaha, Adin, who was timid and afraid in the past, has now become very thoughtful."
Yue Mu struggled to grab the wooden kettle, bit the cork with his rabbit teeth, and raised his head to take a sip.
"A lot of things are changing, but fortunately, the ale has always changed, and it still tastes the same, which is really good."
Yue Mu wiped the wine stains on the corner of his mouth with the back of his hand: "In Crystal City, everyone's expectations for me are too high, and this expectation will continue to increase, and there is no end. So I ended up selling my family property and went to SaniΓ±ero to live a peaceful and simple life. β
"I had a good two years in Saniro, a mixed city with a lot of ethnicity, where everyone came to enjoy a laid-back life...... Basking in the sun every day, fishing, farming, relying on my little savings, this life can last for a long time. β
The smile on its face darkened.
"And then they found me again."
"Everyone in Crystal City came to me again and recognized me as a big brother. Adin, can you imagine? Originally, I planted the ground quietly, but one day a group of people came and shouted, big brother, we finally found you, big brother, we will do what you say, everyone listens to you. β
Bai Ding quickly recorded it, sighing in his heart.
I didn't expect to be too good to get into trouble.
"You should also know that the Jade Rabbit clan has always had a big problem. It is difficult for everyone to convince each other, and there are often internal fights, so the forces of the whole race are very scattered. β
Yue Mu played with the wooden plug in his hand: "To solve the employment and survival problems of the Jade Rabbit family, we must glue everyone together, this is what I have always thought." But I didn't expect that in the end, I had to do it. β
"In Saniro there is a transcendent union. The union can provide a lot of job opportunities, which could have solved the problem of the Jade Rabbit family. We thought about a lot of troubles, but in fact most of them were not a problem, we only ignored one problem. β
"My own people."
It grinned, "The one who has caused us the greatest danger is the local Jade Rabbit in Saniro. They squeezed our living space, and deliberately found fault in various ways, the brawls within the Jade Rabbit clan did not stop, and the group led by the 4 brothers directly asked us to pay tribute regularly, otherwise we would get out. β
Bai Ding's heart sank when he heard this.
In the eyes of the outside world, the Jade Rabbit clan is a strong man who is a vegetarian and a descendant of heroes who can speak up for the weak. But Jade Rabbit's fierce personality is very serious internally.
"I've been on fire ever since."
Yue Mu whispered: "It's hard for me to ride a tiger. Everywhere I went, I was the leader of the group in the eyes of everyone, and the city guards in Saniro talked to me, the sheriff's office greeted me and asked me to restrain my men, and Mayor Chapman consulted with me...... You see, that's it, everyone thinks I'm the head of the Jade Rabbit, and this becomes true. β
"Later, the conflict between the foreign Yutu and the local group became more and more serious...... The four brothers who died were all leaders of local hooligan groups, and they are inseparable from this background. β
Bai Ding took the opportunity to ask: "So you killed Bai to pick them up?" β
"No, it's not me."
Yue Mu shook his head: "I didn't kill anyone, and I didn't kill them." I don't know how they died, all I know is that I slept dizzily for a long time, and then the city guards rushed in and arrested me for murder, and found the body in my house. After the comparison, it was also found that my hair was left at the scene, stained with the blood of the deceased......"
"Adin, I hope you can help me find out the truth and clear my name."
β¦β¦
After listening to Bai Ding's relay, Yazdan asked rhetorically, "Do you believe it?" β
"I just think it's a little weird. If you really want to take extreme measures to kill your competitors, Yue Mu should not take the risk himself. β
Bai Ding said calmly: "As the leader of a group of Jade Rabbits, he can arrange his subordinates. Either way, this thing is suspicious. β
"You're right."
Yazdan nodded: "At present, due to insufficient evidence, the murder weapon has not been found, and it is impossible to directly convict Yue Mu." β
"What about ghosts?" Bai Ding asked, "Didn't you find the ghost of the deceased?" β
"The ghost of the deceased is nowhere to be found, and it is suspected that he has been killed. However, several eyewitnesses saw that the murderer of Bai Bu, Bai Xu, and Bai Jiu was a strange jade rabbit, and did not belong to the appearance of any jade rabbit in the city. The only one who didn't find an eyewitness was Bai Pick, who died in the Yue Mu house. β
Saniro's police station continues to dig deeper.
On the night of eucalyptus, the four people were attacked in various parts of the city. Except for Bai Pick himself, the three brothers were all stabbed by daggers and died, only Bai Pick died of being pierced through the chest by some sharp weapon, and the death was the most tragic.
After three months in detention, Yue Mu was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.
Most people in Sanilo are understanding.
After Yue Mu was acquitted, the "Shachengdi Daily" officially reported on this sensational eucalyptus of Yaoguo.
This time, Bai Ding served as the wind collector, concisely and objectively completed the report article, and officially informed the world of the difficult situation of the Jade Rabbit family.
At the end of the article, it is believed that the real culprit has not yet been determined, and the suspense will continue to be investigated.
From the collection to the review, to the final report, Yazdan showed a calm as if he didn't care.
This made Bai Ding feel strange.
"Mr. Yazdan, aren't you curious about the truth?"
"What is the truth?"
ββ¦β¦ It's who the murderer really is. β
The magician shook his head: "That's the courtroom and the sheriff's business. The murder has come to an end, and all the wind collectors have to do is make what they have collected public, and that's it. β
This time, Bai Ding rarely insisted on his opinion.
"Mr. Yazdan, I still need time to gather more information, you said that we are using reports to protect the interests of the Yao people. Finding out the truth about this serial murder can reduce unnecessary panic and curb the possibility of recurrence in the future. β
Yazdan had a strange expression, as if puzzled, as if confused.
In the end, he agreed: "I'll give you a month, and in a month, the cross-border passage will open, and we will go to the Double Snake Empire to report on the situation over there." β
For the next half a month, Bai Ding almost never sleeped, investigating the lives of the four deceased clearly. The dead were all natives of Saniro, and each of them had a group of younger brothers, who belonged to the local forces of the Jade Rabbit clan.
To Bai Ding's surprise, Bai Pick's 4 brothers had prison experience. They had criminal records of brawls and extortion, but they had a good sense of proportion, and they didn't stay long before they regained their freedom.
Different from Crystal City, the Jade Rabbit clan on Saniro's side is more brave and unscrupulous, especially the 4 white brothers, who retain the fierce part, but abandon the tradition of speaking up for the weak, and are good at relying on the strong to bully the weak. The local jade rabbits either join them, or they have to be squeezed and bullied by them.
The foreign jade rabbits led by Yue Mu have also been injured several times by them.
After the death of the four brothers, the local and foreign Jade Rabbits got along a lot and cooperated with each other. Yue Mu opened a local tavern, and the business was quite good.
The investigation is still inconclusive.
β¦β¦
Bai Ding visited Yue Mu in private, and still refused to give up on this strange eucalyptus.
"As I said, it's none of my business." The former eldest brother said, "Today I invite you to drink." β
In the corner of the tavern, the two of them drank ale in silence.
Looking at the thriving tavern, Bai Ding was a little dazed.
Not long ago, the boss here was a prisoner and committed a series of murders. Now everyone is drinking here without fear.
Saniro's inclusiveness and psychedelia is incredible.
The two are just catching up.
Before parting, Yue Mu stopped it and gave Bai Ding a wooden box: "Adin, someone gave me something and handed it to Mr. Yazdan on my behalf." Thank you for my hard work, I just want to live a simple life. β
Bai Ding took the box all the way back to the inn and handed it over to Yazdan.
Yazdan opened the lid, revealing a furry thing inside.
It was a white rabbit hood.
A hint of surprise flashed in Yazdan's eyes, and he carefully touched the hood: "Amazing props...... Off-road rabbit ...... Didn't expect to be here. β
After Bai Ding touched it, he realized that the fluffy hood in front of him was actually the last of the three-piece off-road rabbit hero suit, and its value was incalculable.
"This prop can also hide your identity......"
It was speechless.
Yue Mu, who holds this prop, can kill the 4 brothers one by one, without revealing his true identity and appearance.
Bai Ding felt puzzled again: "If Yue Mu is the real murderer...... Why hand over the props? Doesn't that expose yourself? β
"Because, this is the off-road rabbit hero trio."
Yazdan looked at this prop with a calm expression: "I think that under the current circumstances, its owner should not come forward, and it is most appropriate for us to offer this thing to the gods." β
"Finally, I'll correct you a little."
The magician looked at Bai Ding: "It doesn't matter who the murderer is, it is important for this city not to pick up the four brothers in vain." β
This sentence is like a bolt from the blue.
Bai Ding suddenly understood.
The courts and law and order in Saniro could not do what the law could do.
This is an outcome that the vast majority of people would like to see.
As for who did it, everyone doesn't care, and they don't want to delve into it.
"Let's go, let's go to the temple together and return this treasure to its rightful owner."
Yazdan wrapped the hood in a box.
β¦β¦
Bai Ding knelt on the ground, looking up at the tall and majestic statue of Yaoshen, and gradually, the previous complicated thoughts and thousands of confusions returned to calm.
What the collector has to do is to make what he collects public.
We have many more important things, we are the eyes of the Yao people.
Bai Ding closed his eyes and prayed silently.
O all-powerful Lord Yaoshen, please bless us for all the best in your journey to the Twin Snake Empire.
