When Venati came back, her tone was a little dissatisfied: "Why are you calling me back so late, I'm playing outside with my friends." ”

"Hmph~!" Paul had a gloomy face: "Play and play, you know all day long to play with those fox friends and dogs, and you won't even go home." Did you fool around with the unknown Cesaniel again? ”

"Dad~! Venati picked up a box of erbium and fed the fish by the fish tank: "Is he my friend?" Besides, didn't you encourage me to deal with the children of powerful people in politics and business? ”

Paul put on a straight face and said, "I let you associate with them more in order to build a good relationship, not really ask you to spend time drinking with them and playing with women." ”

"How can you have a good relationship if you don't spend time drinking with women?"

"You always have a reason to make excuses. Paul added, "You have been so close to that Thesaniel, and I have heard that you have been with him all these days." ”

"I can talk to him better. Hey. Dad, this red shark doesn't seem right. Venati knocked on the glass of the fish tank, and the flaming shark, more than forty centimeters long, swam in front of him, showing its vicious teeth from time to time.

"Hmph, the one before is dead, and it's new. ”

"I said, how do you look smaller. ”

Paul was slightly angry and said, "Okay, come here, don't feed the fish there." I'll talk to you again!"

"What a word. Very unhappy, Venati threw down the fish food and lay down on the sofa.

Paul said, "I said what the hell are you doing with that Thesaniel these days, he's a small foreign businessman. Your focus shouldn't be on him. ”

"Hey Dad, it's not small. Venati said: "He intends to invest in the mining of red iron sand and asbestos in the Yellow Sand Inland Sea, which contains a lot of basic raw materials in the Yellow Sand Inland Sea, if it can really be done...... Dad, what do you say?"

Paul's eyes lit up at first, then dimmed, and he said with a little disdain: "The environment of the Huangsha Inland Sea is harsh, the surface layer is loose sand, and the wind and sand are big, and the cost of investment in drilling wells and mines there is very large, does he have such a large amount of capital and manpower?"

Venati smiled and said, "Manpower." It's not about money. I went to the bank with him the other day. In front of me, he casually withdrew 20 million gold coins from his account, and he said that if he could do it, he planned to settle it here, and the first phase of capital investment would not be less than 150 million. ”

"Oh, is this true?"

Venati said, "Dad, can I still lie to you?" I have already talked to him about this, and I have also said hello to other friends and asked them to go to explore the wind first. I wanted to wait until things were almost done. So that you can also see what I am capable of, Dad. ”

Paul laughed. His face suddenly became emotional: "This is like my son." It's a good thing to do, and it's got a touch on my heart. Do you know what I called you for?"

"Why?" asked Venati.

Paul laughed, "The mayor of Xisha, Khaled, is dead. ”

"Ka ......" Venati said in surprise, "Didn't he come to our house some time ago?

"Yes, I heard that Binks, the sheriff of Nishisha City, who came to investigate this, said that he was murdered. The exact circumstances have not yet been found. But this is an opportunity for our family?"

"Dad, what's the chance?"

Paul said: "Khalid and I have a good relationship, but that's it, not far away. This time he died, and I intended to mention it to His Majesty, and let Bangera take the post of mayor of Xisha, and not let His Majesty be appointed to another place. Banjera has always listened to me, and if he becomes the mayor of Xisha, then one of the deputy mayors must be yours. ”

"Me?!" Venati was frightened: "I'm so young, can I be the deputy mayor...... Will it work?"

Paul said: "Originally, I did have concerns in this regard, but if the project of mining asbestos and hematite sand in the Huangsha Inland Sea can be established, there is no way to change the position of deputy mayor if others have objections." Now that His Majesty is worried about the tight finances, and there is no large amount of capital flowing into foreign countries, if the mines in the Huangsha Inland Sea can really be successfully mined, Xisha City will surely prosper again, and the surrounding areas will also prosper together, and then this matter will become a considerable political achievement in your political career. ”

"Mayor!" Venati was excited at the thought of becoming the deputy mayor, and her eyes were about to light up.

Paul nodded and said, "Looks like I need to meet this guy Cesaniel for once." ”

Just when the two fathers and sons were excitedly discussing the matter of mining, the rickety young man, with a pair of cold eyes and a chill, stared at the brightly lit Joseph mansion......

......

In the middle of the night, Binks led people to the police station in Mitikas, and soon the local sheriff rushed over overnight, and after Binks explained the death of Mayor Calid and the disappearance of other people, the local sheriff immediately mobilized the security and patrol personnel of the whole city to search for the whereabouts of the missing people in and around the city.

At noon the next day, in an abandoned mine outside the city, Binks, Epsilin and others saw the body of the missing man.

"The deceased were all hacked to death with knives, and judging from the traces left at the scene, there was more than one person who did it. The local sheriff said to Binks: "I have just had the number of victims counted, which matches the number of people in Mayor Calid's entourage." ”

The cave was damp, and the corpses had long since stinked from decay, and Binks came out of the cave with his mouth covered, very sad: "They are all dead here, and none of them are alive." "Many of the people here have been his subordinates for many years and are also his friends. How can you not feel uncomfortable when a friend died tragically.

"Could the mayor have been killed here as well?"

"It's possible, but what matters is the stab wounds and the situation at the scene. Epsilin asked: "First, why are the dead gathered here, second, the dead were hacked to death with knives, but there is no sign of a fight at the scene, and third, as far as we know, there is only one murderer, the fake Nessim, but here it shows that there is more than one murderer." ”

At this time, a security officer came running and said, "Report, many hoof prints have been found on it. ”

"Go over and see. ”

Walking around to the wasteland mountain behind the mine, I saw a lot of hoof prints and some feces on the top of the mountain.

After a moment's inspection, Binks concluded: "It's a horseshoe print, and judging by the dung, it should be the kind of brown horse from the Gobi, which is also called the sand pirate horse in our country." ”

"Sand pirates?" Alice asked.

Binks explains: "It is a kind of horse from our Gobi that is slightly smaller than the average war horse, and its hooves are long and thick, mostly brown. This kind of horse with bad quality is generally not used in the army, and only sand thieves in the desert will use it in large numbers, so it is called sand pirate horses. ”

"Oh, I've seen it in the city. Alice asked, "You mean the sand thieves did it?"

"That's what the signs on the ground show. ”

"It's strange, is it true that Nissim is a desert bandit, or do the desert robbers have a grudge against Sir Lurkauf the bandits, or do they go to the desert to become robbers because they have a grudge against the sir?"

Binks said: "The average person would not dare to murder the mayor, let alone so many people. Mr. Epsilin had just asked three questions, and now the third question is likely to be robbers, so what are the second and the first?"

Epsilin nodded: "This is the first scene, for sure." You might as well logically imagine how the murderer could concentrate the dead here, and why there are no traces of a fight now. Lord Binks, you said that the security guards who accompanied the mayor were all capable of Xisha City, not to mention that the mayor's own guards were here, so they must not be weak. ”

Binks thought for a moment and said, "It is likely that the murderer used the mayor of Khalid as a lure to lure the dead here and then kill them in one fell swoop. As for why there were no traces of a fight at the scene......"

"Mental control, ambush traps, or the use of something or a magic array, all of these can make the deceased lose the ability to resist. Alice said.
