Chapter 86 (2/2)
”I'e the pace of sabrese from fast to slow, and you even found the murderer's flaw in such a short time”
“What do you want?”
Zhong Heng retreated back to the corner, sat on the soft chair and thought quietly for a while, ”I' about how to solve the problem”
”I thought you wanted to find the real murderer” Gu Shenwei said with irony
”I just want to solve the problem”
”I'm your problem, do you want to solve it now?”
”No Golden Roc Castle gave you three days, and I won't take even a second away”
Gu Shenished that he could have had a sabre with hi that his throat felt dry and itchy
The two kept silent for a while before Zhong Heng suddenly said, ”Do you understand me?”
”I'”
The man in the corner let out a kind smile, ”The truth is completely different fro silver in the roothe truth wants to know if the silver existed or not, whether it was lost or not, and as the thief The one trying to solve the proble to satisfy everyone As for where the silver comes from or ill provide it, those are all trivial matters”
Zhong Heng's words were as abstract as Tie Hanfeng's words, that they were not co here to find the real murderer but to prove that the third person was not killed by him Gu Shenwei see with it
”For this matter, what's the problem you want to solve?”
”The problem I want to solve is to catch the real murderer”
Gu Shenas stunned for a bit, but then realized that Zhong Heng wasfun of him, which annoyed him Why can't everybody say it uously in a roundabout way? He couldn’t help but think again that the killer's world at east castle was so si appeared to be sincere and frank now
The two men separated by corpses spoke in riddles, no one asked the other why he came to the crime scene
Zhong Heng stood up again when the sky was going to be bright This time he decided to leave, ”I want to ask around, how about you?”
”I too want to ask around”
”Good”
The five prostitutes who previously belonged to Big Belly Buddha all lived nearby Three on the north side of the street, two on the south side, oneplayed was a policeman and an announcer of the death
The first prostitute who heard the news sat up on the bed and said drealy, ”Dead, another one died A person is like a fallen flower, but there's no floater to float on A handful of yellow soil is enough for burying a body Die, all of you go die” Then she fell and slept again
The second prostitute had a guest sleeping on the floor, so she accepted the inquiry downstairs, ”I would say that she was seeking death for herself For this kind of business, it's good enough to focus on earning money One should not be a Xu Yanwei Aren't you investigating who killed prince Ju? It's really a coincidence as those two bitches were that prince's favourite Those tere such bitter rivals thatI thought the sister and brother of the Xu family were killed by Shen Yanshi+”
”But you didn't say it yesterday”
”Yesterday? My lord, I also have my own 'prince' to serve, ood guest Although I'uest's back, he was not ht?”
”Right, go ahead”
”He laid his hands too hard on thehter to be scourged by hi for old or silver h for me to serve him …”
The third prostitute already got the news in advance fronited two pieces of incense for the sister, ”Everyone wants to squeeze into the northern Jade City but enters the wilderness in the end Sister Yanshi+ didn't serve any guests yesterday because she closed the door at a very early ti that she was too tired and wanted to take a rest Alas, you don't care about who killed her and only want to know so to say The ones ant to kill him could fill up the whole retention alley”
Gu Shenanted to find the woman servant who followed Xu Yanwei around, but it was said that she was sent away in advance The prostitute knew nothing about it, but an old woman reminded him, ”Go ask around Madam Xiao's place, madam always kindly treats the old and the weak She may have accepted old woman Li”
Gu Shenwei returned to the cold, empty street before he felt a lu, blurting out, ”That sister and brother pair, are they really Big Belly Buddha's own daughter and son?”
”Hmm, that explains why they asked for your help to kill him nobody is surprised as this would've happened sooner or later”
Gu Shenwei braced against the wall and vomited Then he stood up and asked, ”Everybody knohat he did?”
”This is the Jade City What you can think of and can't think of all happens here You'll get used to it gradually”
Zhong Heng's tone was annoyingly calm, but Gu Shenwei still forced himself to calm down He didn't come here to save the world and no one could save the world This world will be devastated by itself, he thought
Along the whole retention alley, Xiao Fengchai's house was the largest and the most luxurious In fact, she alone had three houses She connected the three and made them into one
Mada a rest and no one was allowed to disturb her The old woman who used to serve Xu Yanas indeed here, but she couldn't provide any relevant inforuest, but he was not the only guest She was sent away a day before what had happened, so she didn't know if Xu Yanwei had a guest or not at that night She also didn't knoho left a thousand liang silver
”A thousand liang silver? This old wouest before”
The tas about to leave before the old woo, a person called Mi Gongzi visited frequently He seemed to be really rich If there were anyone ould spend a thousand liang silver, it must be him”
Mi Gongzi always ca secretively Except for Xu Yanwei, no one has ever seen his true face The retention alley always had this type of guest so it was not too strange
As Gu Shenwei thought about this 'Mi Gongzi', a picture formed in his heart
