Chapter 818: Time is Ticking
This family of more than 200 people has lived in the old house for a long time, and I don't know how many things have been accumulated, and it is not easy to clean up.
Bought back a good house, Chitose was in a good mood, and after returning to the Invitation Garden, he asked Yan Saburo while eating garlic branches: "Zhou Dahu's death, do you think the same as me?"
"Well, I'm afraid he's been killed. Yan Saburo knew what she was thinking without asking, "He bought the treasure from the Hidden Country." The murderer kills and grabs the treasure. ”
"Zhou Dahu has done a good job of secrecy. Chitose took a sip of hot tea, "Even the pillow people don't know that he sold his shop and went to sea to go to the Tibetan country, which shows that the surname Zhou is used to being cautious." How does the murderer know that he lives here and what treasures he has?"
In the Lost Nation, each seafarer wears a mask and a burqa, and they are strangers to each other.
Whatever the original intentions of the Tibetan state, objectively this is a powerful protection measure. Seafarers take off their disguises and return to the world, just like water dropping into the sea, and it is difficult for others to find them.
"Maybe he trusts the murderer?"
"Not really. Chitose picked up a snack casually and stuffed it into Yan Saburo's mouth, "Some people are suspicious, no one believes it, obviously Zhou Dahu is this kind of person." He will not expose his net worth to others. ”
Yan Saburo subconsciously chewed two bites, quack, quack.
The sound is so loud, and the fried thing is crispy.
As soon as he looked up, he saw Chitose put the finger that had been holding the garlic branch in his mouth and sucked it. That posture......
Her lips were red and moist, like ripe strawberries, and the boy quickly lifted his eyes.
"Then there's only one possibility. He coughed lightly, "If Zhou Dahu returned to the Kingdom from the Hidden Treasure and was not invaded by the ghost." Then the only people who know what treasures he has bought in the Sea Country, and who can still find him, are -"
"Hidden Relics!" Chitose's eyes flashed with coldness, "What a group of unstoppable skulls." ”
The hidden oracles and believers proclaim to the world that they enjoy absolute freedom and security in trading in the sea nation. In fact, they can use the water of true vision to see through the true faces of people under their masks, and they can track the whereabouts of the seafarers by using the blood pledge on the contract.
It's just that in the past, the Hidden Sea Kingdom was opened once every sixty years, and in order to maintain this golden signboard, the remnants rarely went back to the land to trouble the seafarers, so as not to expose the secret.
But things are very different now. The sacred tree is dead, the Hidden Realm can no longer be opened to the world, and these ghosts have nothing to fear. There are probably only two goals for the rest of their lives:
Revenge, as well as to live.
Yan Saburo's expression turned cautious: "If the Hidden Ghost cooperates with King Huai, we will be in great trouble. ”
Chitose nodded: "The top priority is to find out where Si Wenrui is hiding. ”
"Han Zhao summoned the news, and he has not seen Liao Qingsong enter and leave the Huaiwang Mansion in the past few days. Yan Saburo groaned, "If he hadn't disguised himself to go in and out, he wouldn't have lived there at all." ”
"Do you think he and Si Wenrui are together?"
"Looking at the look of the king, the pain of losing a child does not seem to be fake. Perhaps, he really thought that his son was dead?" Yan Saburo said softly, "If this were the case, Si Wenrui would not live in the mansion. ”
But Shengyi is so big, where can I find two people who deliberately hide their whereabouts?
......
Two days flew by, and everything was peaceful.
It was unsettling because Tsubame Saburo only had five days left.
Han Zhao and Shi Congyi sent countless people, but they couldn't find a single clue about Si Wenrui.
It was as if this man was really dead, leaving no trace in the world.
In this regard, Chitose analyzed: "Si Wenrui only needs to hide quietly, and when the ten-day deadline is up, King Huai will be able to seek justice from Xiao Mi." At that time, the royal court will have to deal with you. She shrugged, "As long as he still has a brain, he won't show up during this time." ”
Now they are passive, and Si Wenrui is active. As long as he holds on to this advantage and is not detected, he is considered to have won.
Yan Saburo is also very clear about this.
He went to visit Huang Da, and the weasel didn't know what was wrong, so he secretly said to him: "If you can't catch the real murderer, I will take all the charges down." Let's just say that I have lost my mind and gone crazy to attack the son of King Huai. ”
Yan Saburo stretched out his hand and stroked the soft hair on the weasel's head: "Do you think they can believe it?" Huang Da has never been the point, it is he who the opponent wants to break down, Yan Shichu.
"Then, that?" Huang Da was anxious. So what should I do?
Yan Saburo was silent.
On the way back, he passed by the office and heard a little commotion inside. The official who happened to come out led him in a few days ago to identify the body, so he stepped forward to inquire.
This is the prince of Yan who was personally brought in by the mighty marquis, the big celebrity of the entire Shengyi, the official messenger's memory of him is still fresh and hot, and he whispered at the moment: "King Huai came to take the corpse home, and he will come out immediately." Would you like to avoid it?" he said, gesturing to the porter to the side.
Yan Saburo agreed without thinking about it: "Okay." At this time, he didn't want to conflict with King Huai.
Sure enough, after a short time, a group of seven or eight people came out, six of them carried the black wooden coffin, and the person who walked in the front had a cold face and walked like the wind, it was Huaiwang Si Daguang.
It's almost seven, and he's going to take his son back. King Huai went to cry in front of King Wei a few times, and Xiao Mi also had a headache. Although the body should not be collected before the case is closed, it is common practice to hold the first seven funerals and be buried in Shengyi. He asked Yan Sanlang, who said that he had finished experiencing the corpse, so Xiao Mi also made a special case and granted King Huai's plea.
Yan Saburo's heart moved when he looked at the black coffin, and suddenly took a step forward and leaned against the door.
The white cat, who was lying by the window and watching, meowed: "Hey, what are you doing?" What about snooping and concealment? Why did he run out and be exposed to King Huai's field of vision?
Before Yan Saburo could answer, King Huai saw him.
"Yan Shichu. Si Daguang slowed down, and his voice became solemn, "You still dare to come!"
Yan Saburo stared at him closely, his gaze was not instantaneous: "I didn't kill anyone or hurt anyone, I have a clear conscience, why don't you dare to come?"
"Whether you have a clear conscience or not, you will see in a few days. Si Daguang sneered, flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"
The relatives followed him out of the office and carried the coffin into the carriage.
Looking at the group of people in the distance, the white cat said lazily: "What have you confirmed?"
"A few days ago, he wanted to skin me and cramp, but he didn't say anything more to me. Yan Saburo's eyes flashed, "Are you too lazy to say it, or are you unwilling to say it?"
"Probably both. Chitose smiled, "It depends on whether he still hates you to the core." ”
Yan Saburo stroked the cat, and the official who pulled him into the gatehouse sighed: "The monarch's big day is ahead, why have there been more deaths recently?"
The companion beside him "shh
