In that environment, just the time to think, Zhou Xinyi took dozens of seconds.

But the time there seems to be independent, and Zhou Xinyi's movements in reality are not half strange, he splits the dead branch with an axe, and the dead branch breaks in response.

Then everyone was stunned.

"Actually broken vertically?" The voice of the owner of Night Street was visibly surprised, "This has never been the case before. ”

She looked at Zhou Xinyi in surprise, and a strong interest spontaneously arose, "But no matter what, you succeeded, it's a fact." ”

"Please come with me, and I will hand over five thousand Kunlang to you in person."

Zhou Xinyi had something to ask the owner of the night street, nodded and responded.

……

……

"Good evening, Officer Zengus, I am honored to see you again."

"It is indeed an honour for a third-class official," said Zengus, "but to the heirs, we officials are but walking money tickets, aren't we?" ”

"I can't afford your respect."

Brandy heard this, and also restrained the respect brought by the status gap, and said with a smile, "Which heir did you hear this from?" ”

Brandy said, "You don't seem to be in a good mood, has something happened?" ”

"Do you know the purpose of my commission to assassinate Young Master Ji An?"

"This ...... We just do what we are told, and we are not curious about what we should not ask. ”

"Don't joke with me."

The official said solemnly, "Without checking all the factors in advance, would you be willing to be my blade?" ”

Brandy didn't quibble, "It depends on whether the price offered is high enough." ”

The Zenguss official snorted coldly.

It is precisely because he and Brandy are all the way that they know what this kind of person is thinking in his head, and he will do whatever it takes to achieve his goal, regardless of the cost, and even his own life is just a bargaining chip.

The plan to assassinate Young Master Ji An last time would never have been made by Brandy, otherwise it would be impossible for the mastermind to spend several days waiting for the opportunity to make the plan so safe.

If it was him, then he would most likely carry Ji An's head on the second night of taking over the commission, covered in blood and begging to see him.

Talking to smart people, Xungus has never liked to talk in vain, "The ciphertext in Ji'an's office is gone. ”

On the one hand, Xungusi was clearing out dissidents and completely muddying the water in Ji Zhou, and on the other hand, he was trying to get the ciphertext from Young Master Ji An's office.

Those ciphertexts recorded the truth and unspeakable scandals of some things in the upper echelons of Ji Zhou.

And those ciphertexts are often implicated by all officials, and if they are taken by a certain official, the consequences will be unimaginable.

This is also the reason why Zengus is in such a bad mood at the moment: "If you didn't get it, then on the day of the incident, who else could be?" ”

Brandy also understood the seriousness of the matter at this moment, and as the heir, he guessed calmly, "Maybe it was the underground rebel group at the banquet who did it." ”

"Underground rebels?" Zengus almost didn't react, "How could you make such a joke." ”

Brandy meal, "Friend got up." ”

"It can't be them, that group of people touched the scales of the city lord, and now they have been cleaned up."

Brandy shook his head, "Then I don't have a clue." ”

"......," said Zengus, "I have detained two suspicious men. ”

"Then I'll have to ask the officials to take me to meet them."

The two suspects detained by the officials of Xungus are the daughter of Young Master Ji An, and the other is the Mr. Squidward Brother whom Zhou Xinyi knows.

Brandy saw Gilica first.

As the granddaughter of the city lord, Jilika was respectfully invited to the tower by Xungus, but her condition at the moment is not very good, whether it is the situation or the mood.

Jilika's eyes were red at the moment, her mood had not yet calmed down from the time when she stabbed her father to death, grief and fear permeated her head, she clearly remembered the look in her father's eyes when he died, and she did not even have the courage to attend her father's funeral.

Seeing the brandy, Gilica's already vigilant posture immediately curled up, "No! Don't come here! Are you here to kill me too?! ”

"Stay away from me!!"

"Miss Gilika is mentally ill and always fantasizes that someone around her will have a knife sticking out of their bodies to kill her." Said the Zengus official.

"We call it victim paranoia," Brandy said, "and it doesn't look like she's going to steal important documents after she's died." ”

"Maybe it was Young Master Ji An's last words that drove her to do that, maybe her illness was also pretended, who can say for sure?" Xungus shrugged, if Zhou Xinyi was here, seeing his appearance, he would definitely say that his suspicion was not light.

"Well," Brandy said helplessly, "perhaps the presence of the murderer would have reminded her of something." ”

As he spoke, he took out his pocket watch and set the time in front of Jirika.

The time was set to an exact 9:31.

Combined with Brandy's face, Gilica instantly let out a miserable scream, "Don't kill me!" ”

Brandy adjusted the time to nine twenty-nine again, and gently stroked the top of Gilica's head, "Don't be afraid, nothing has happened yet, and nothing has happened to your father." ”

Jilika's panicked expression was miraculously relieved.

In addition to the brandy's excellent prediction of time, the brandy's pocket watch also has a certain spirituality.

It can make the timing of things happen more relevant to the original timing, and can even confuse people's perceptions of time.

It's a pity that the spirituality is low, and it can only be used to fool ordinary people like Jilika.

"Someone is about to come and kill your father, and the purpose of those people is a stack of important documents, do you know where your father's papers are?"

Gilica muttered, "In the study, my father's papers are all in the study......"

"I'm asking about the ciphertext," said Brandy, "the ciphertext that your father values the most, tell me, where is it?" ”

Jilika was dazed, "Ciphertext? I don't know ......."

Brandy asked a few more questions, but to no avail.

He put away his pocket watch, "Looks like she doesn't know anything." ”

"Send Miss Gilika back safely, and we'll interrogate the next suspect." ”

The two of them walked out of the room without any hesitation, and suddenly, when she woke up, Gilica shouted at Brandy's back, "Why, my father has no grievances with you, why did you kill him!" ”

"I have never offended you, why are you using me!"

"You and the judge, why are you!"

Zengus did not interrupt her questioning, for he was also interested in the answer to the question.

He also wanted to know what kind of person the judge was.

"Miss Gilica asked a little more," Brandy turned, "I am a wicked man, and it is of course a matter of interest to kill your father. ”

"I chose you because there is no better blade than you."

He looked at Zengus, "As for the judges. ”

"Our plan is indeed to kill Young Master Ji An when he is flustered, but choosing to use Miss Ji Lika is actually a whim of mine."

"It wasn't the judge's orders."

"Not banning it means acquiescence, isn't it?" ”

"The officials are a bit of a," Brandy smiled, "and our judge's hands are always clean anyway." ”

The sarcastic look of the Zengus official sank.

"Let's go meet the next suspect."

The other "suspect" was not treated as well as Gilika, who was arrested by the officers of the Zengus officials since the afternoon and has been held until now.

When he saw Brandy, his face was pale, his lips were pursed, and he looked bitter and hateful.

Brandy was stunned at a glance, "Isn't this Mr. Zhang." ”

Mr. Squidward: ? Why is it called that.

"He showed up at the door of the banquet on the day of the banquet and sneakily looked inside for two hours before leaving. ”

"According to the informant, he also spoke with the judge before leaving."

"I think it's a misunderstanding," said Brandy, "and this Mr. Zhang had a quarrel with the camp staff the other day over wages. ”

If he had the guts to steal the ciphertext, there was no need to use that method to obtain the money.

"And you only need to check Mr. Zhang's daily style to see if he is acting on the spot."

The subordinates sent by the officials of Xungus to investigate this matter also leaned into his ear and said something, which made Xungusi look at Mr. Zhang with a complicated expression, waved his hand very freely and said, "Let him go." ”

"It seems that we can't find the real culprit today."

"I'll let you know if I find anything in the future," said Brandy, "and I'll ask you to pay us the same amount when the time comes." ”

"I'm looking forward to your results......" he paused, "what about the woman on your team?" ”

"Are you suspicious of her?" This surprised Brandy a little.

"No, just to warn you not to think about things you can't control."

Brandy took his leave, leaving the tower of the Zengus officials and returning to the hotel.

He knew that Jiang Yi couldn't steal the ciphertext, well, she didn't have that brain.

It's just that the theft of that ciphertext makes the follow-up troublesome.

The hostess, who received a few new guests, was sorting out the keys to the empty rooms at the moment.

The image reminded Brandy of something he had found yesterday.

"Boss, Mr. Judge brought back a white-haired boy a few days ago, right?"

The proprietress has always had a good attitude towards brandy, "yes." ”

"When did he leave?"

"The boy only stayed for half a day and left, saying that his family would be worried." The proprietress held her face and recalled.

"Didn't he say anything else?" Brandy asked.

"Something else...... What can he do with a child? The proprietress said, "Oh, by the way, he asked me before he left, what time did Young Master Ji'an's banquet start." ”

"I heard that the kid was brought back by Mr. Judge when he was in trouble on the road, do you think he can get home safely at that age......" The proprietress was still chattering.

Brandy heard only two words: banquet.

"This is really ......" Brandy suddenly felt that fate was so wonderful, "It seems that I have to tell Zhou Xinyi about it." ”
