Trafford Buyers Club

Chapter 1835 For a bad tomorrow

The atmosphere seemed anxious. Jilian had never seen Uncle Zehart's eyes like this... It was like the eyes of those vicious adventurers who came to the weapon shop to buy weapons.

The eyes of a man with blood on his hands.

"Nothing." Zehart shook, "Is everything ready?"

Jilian had no choice but to nod, put his luggage on the table, and then took out a wine bottle.

"This wine..." Zehart frowned subconsciously.

Ji Lian stroked the bottle, and said softly: "This is what uncle brought back to Dad once before, and he only drank half of the bottle at that time. I know Dad hid it under the bed, and he has always been reluctant to drink it... Now , the others are gone, so it’s useless to keep it. Uncle, I brought it here, so it’s considered to be returned to its original owner now. You know, I don’t like drinking very much.”

"I have a heart." Zehart was silent for a while, and reached out to pat Ji Lian's shoulder, "I will come back to the capital to see you as soon as the outside matters are dealt with."

"Uncle." Jilian raised his head at this moment, "Let me have a drink with you, whether it's as a practice, or as a memory of Dad... the taste of this wine, Dad has never tasted it again. Here, I think... I want to have a drink for him."

"Okay." Zehar nodded, "It's rare for you to have this."

Ji Lian quickly fetched the cups... three cups, and then some wine was poured on each cup and distributed to Zeehardt and Boss Luo.

"Do I have it too?" Boss Luo asked curiously.

"I can't let you watch us drink." Jilian smiled wryly.

"Thank you then." Boss Luo smiled slightly.

They clinked glasses, but before they were about to drink, Ji Lian suddenly looked at Mr. Seehardt and asked, "Uncle Zehardt, where did you go after you left the weapon shop yesterday afternoon...no Are you going home?"

Zehat paused and said: "I didn't go back. I came back this time because of business. After meeting you, I remembered to buy some goods. Speaking of which, during the time I lived, Go check it out if you have time, anyway, you always have the key."

Ji Lian nodded, and then said again: "I heard from the security department that someone saw you near the place where Dad was killed last night..."

"What do you want to say?" Zehart frowned, and his voice sank slightly.

But Ji Lian sighed, and said with a sad face: "I was thinking, if I could meet you before Dad was killed, then maybe Dad wouldn't be killed." You and Dad have such a good relationship , but Dad was killed near you... Uncle, don't be sad. "

Seehardt nodded silently, then drank half a glass of wine in one gulp, and took out his bag, "I'm going out of the city soon, take good care of yourself during this time, if you have anything, I'll talk about it when I come back."

As he said that, Mr. Zehart, a traveler, was about to open the door and leave... But when he was leaving, he suddenly stopped, turned around and said, "Jilian, I will bring you some new and interesting things when I come back next time." .”

smile.

"Uncle!" Jilian walked out.

Seehardt suddenly felt a little unstable at this time. He shook his head vigorously, but felt that the world was spinning at this moment, and he lost his center of gravity all of a sudden, and fell to the ground.

Seeing this, Jilian dragged Zehart back into the weapon shop.

Boss Luo looked at the wine on the table thoughtfully, "Is there anything in this wine?"

I only heard Jilian say quietly: "It's a kind of ore powder, the auxiliary agent that my father usually uses when forging weapons... If people accidentally eat it, they will faint and paralyze in a short time. But don't worry, your There are no cups."

"So, you are the one who intends to hand over Mr. Seehardt to the Police Department?"

"I don't know." Jilian shook his head, "I haven't made up my mind yet...but I can't let uncle leave right now, after all, he's also a big suspect, I...I can only think of this way temporarily. After the uncle wakes up, he will probably hate me to death."

As he said that, Jiren carried Zeehard on his back.

"Even if you imprison him, it's not a solution." Luo Qiu said beside him.

"Then what can I do?" Ji Lian suddenly became agitated, "Should I hand him over to the police department? If the uncle is innocent, how can I forgive myself in this life... let him go? ? But in case he is really... I can't help my father."

"If he told you himself that he had nothing to do with this matter." Luo Qiu asked curiously, "Will you choose to believe it... Remember, he may also lie."

Ji Lian was wrapping the iron chains around Zehart's hands, and suddenly he paused, and he said quietly: "Then tell me, if you were me... what would you do? If... If you can't give me an answer, please don't treat me approach to give more hypothetical evaluations.”

Boss Luo nodded and said apologetically, "Indeed, bystanders should have the consciousness of bystanders."

He became silent and stopped asking Jiren any questions...until Jiren completely chained Zeehard.

"I'm sorry, my tone was a bit harsh just now." Ji Lian let out a sigh of relief, and now he came to Luo Qiu's side, "I... I just can't control myself a little bit."

Boss Luo just looked softly and said: "At your age, you are already very good...at least, better than me before."

"Mr. Luo, you too..." Ji Lian raised his head subconsciously.

"Are you hungry?" Boss Luo smiled and said, "I'll go get something to eat... Don't look at me like this, I still have some experience in cooking."

"Here... there should be some dry bread in the kitchen, don't worry too much." Jilian could only shake his head.

Boss Luo said casually: "My father said that no matter how bad tomorrow is, life will still be lived... Only when life is better can we have the motivation to face tomorrow's badness."

Jilian opened his mouth, and then smiled wryly: "There should be bacon and vegetables in the kitchen... Let's add an egg. Forget it, let me get it, after all, you are the guest."

Saying that, after looking back at the unconscious Seehardt, Jilian took a deep breath, pulled himself together, and quickly climbed out of the cellar.

Boss Luo also glanced casually at Mr. Seehardt, and then planned to climb up to the cellar.

At this time, a small head appeared at the entrance and exit of the cellar... It was Alaya in white clothes - the girl's hair was hanging down at this moment, one by one, without a trace of mess.

"What's the matter?" Luo Qiu asked with a slight smile.

Alaya in white clothes stretched out his hand, "My clothes are torn."

Boss Luo crawled out of the cellar at once, and asked curiously, "It's broken? Where is it broken?"

I saw that Alaya turned around at this time... It was indeed torn, from the back of the waist, the clothes were torn all the way to the buttocks.

"...I'm curious, how did you break it." Boss Luo shook his head, took off his coat and put it on for her.

Alaya shook his head: "I don't know, if it breaks, it will break."

"Do you want to sew it up or replace it with a new one?" Boss Luo asked with a smile.

"Brother, what do you think?" Alaya asked blankly after thinking for a moment.

"Then let's sew it." Boss Luo thought for a while and said, "Generally speaking, people would choose to sew."

"Why?" Alaya asked puzzled.

Boss Luo said casually: "Because they believe that damaged things can be repaired...not just clothes, but everything."

"Is that so?" Alaya shook his head: "Not all items can be recovered. Items that have exceeded the scope of repair will not be repaired again unless time is turned back."

"It's too exaggerated to turn back time." Boss Luo patted Alaya's head lightly, and said with a chuckle, "They just... just hoped so."

Alaya shook his head, then pulled Boss Lalo's sleeve, and said softly, "This guy in the cellar smells like a dragon."

"Really." Boss Luo nodded.

Alaya went on to say: "The bridge also smells like a dragon."

"Understood." Boss Luo nodded, "Let's sew the clothes first."

……

……

On the street, guards can still be seen everywhere searching from house to house—even the police car that Tianren Mu was riding in was stopped several times.

Suddenly, a figure got into Tianren Mu's car on the road.

"What's the matter?" Tianren Mu asked directly.

The subordinate who got into the car on the way said quickly: "My lord, in the afternoon, you asked me to go back to the Security Department to ask the astrologer to check the matter by the bridge. There is a result. This is the report."

He sent a document to Tianren Mu.

Tianren Mu opened it directly, and immediately frowned: "It's not a high-level monster...but the breath of a dragon?"

"My lord." The subordinate said with a solemn expression at this time: "As far as I know, there are only two people living in the royal capital who can possess the breath of the dragon. One is Laura, the head maid in the palace, and the other is ..."

"Why didn't you say it?" Tianren Mu looked at the subordinate who hesitated to speak, and said indifferently.

The subordinate had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "The other one, I don't need to say, the adults must know...the whole country knows."

The heavenly man Mu snorted, and immediately put away the documents, and fell silent.

The subordinate didn't dare to make any noise at this time, but judging from years of experience in handling cases, he only felt that he might have been involved in a terrible vortex... This vortex actually involved the dragon clan of the mainland.

Time passed little by little.

Tianren Mu suddenly asked, "Is there any movement over [Locke's Weapon Shop]? Has Zehart appeared?"

The subordinate said: "Our spies have been stationed all the time, and we haven't found anything for the time being. As for the few objects that your lord asked us to monitor, after returning in the afternoon, they have never left the weapon shop... My lord, you said that the suspect Ze Will Hart really go to the weapon shop? If he is really the murderer, he should go away now."

"Changing the road." Tianren Mu suddenly said at this time: "Go to [Locke's Weapon Shop]."

The subordinate had no choice but to give orders to the driver who was in charge of driving... Not long after, the police officer's car arrived at [Lock's Weapon Shop].

Tianren Mu ordered people to wait outside, then he knocked on the door and walked into the weapon shop.

……

……

When he saw the second-in-command of the Security Department again today, Ji Lian couldn't help but change slightly...they had just prepared a sumptuous dinner.

"My lord, you...why are you here?" Jilian asked quietly, calming himself down.

"Is there anything good?" Tianren Mu took a look at this moment, and then asked seemingly casually: "Ordinary people probably only eat so well during festivals."

Ji Lian glanced at Mr. Luo, whose face was as calm as water, and said seriously: "I think, instead of not eating anything because of the pain and starving myself, it's better to let myself eat better so that I can have more strength to face it." for future life."

"That's a good idea." Tianren Mu nodded, sat down immediately, looked at Boss Luo with a casual smile and said, "This person taught you."

"How do you know..." Ji Lian closed his mouth, and immediately said: "Master Mu, do you want to eat together? I'll bring you blood tableware."

"Okay." Tianren Mu nodded: "Anyway, I'm hungry too. After a busy day, I really haven't eaten... I'm tired."

"Right now." Jilian nodded, and had to turn around to get his things.

Tianren Mu was not polite at this time, he just reached out to steal food from the plate and started to eat, while eating, he said casually: "Today, there was a very bad assassination incident in the palace, which made the city full of storms now... I remember you seem to have said that you lost your identity certificate somewhere, if you have nothing to do these few days, you should be careful."

"Mr. Tianren Mu is the second-in-command of the police department of the capital, please let me go like this." Boss Luo put down the tableware for eating.

This celestial being, Mr. Mu, was so stunned that he stole a little food from every plate.

"It's nothing good or bad." Tianren Mu smiled lightly and said, "Catching assassins is only a matter for the palace guards for the time being... This matter is not under the control of our security department for the time being."

"My lord came here so late, did you discover anything about the murder?" Boss Luo asked suddenly.

"Hey, I don't have any clue." Tianren Mu shrugged, "I had to go for a walk, pass by here, just pass by to have a look... I was thinking, you may also have some new discoveries."

At this moment, Jilian took the tableware back and put it in front of Tianren Mu.

"No need." Tianren Mu said indifferently: "I'm full, so I won't bother you if I have nothing to do... Oh, by the way, Zehat didn't come to see you today, did he?"

"No." Ji Lian answered quickly, without avoiding the gaze of Tianren Mu at this time.

"So..." Tianren Mu turned his eyes and nodded seemingly casually, but at this moment he frowned suddenly: "There seems to be some voice... from below."

Jilian couldn't help changing his eyes slightly at this moment.

Just now, there was a sound—and the source seemed to be in the cellar.

"Maybe it's rats." Ji Lian said hastily, "Rats often go to the cellar to steal and eat, and after poisoning one batch, another batch comes again, which is very annoying."

"I'm good at catching mice." Tianren Mu smiled at this time: "Let me help you."

Saying that, without waiting for Jilian's response, Tianren Mu rushed into the room with his sword in his hand. Jilian's face changed dramatically, he called out again and again, and quickly chased after him.

It's just that the second officer of the security department was extremely fast. When Jilian chased him to the cellar, Tianren Mu had already jumped into it... Jilian had no choice but to bite the bullet and crawl into the cellar.

But at this time, there was no sign of Uncle Zehardt in the cellar... Jilian glanced at the broken chain on the ground, and subconsciously let go, but he didn't know how Uncle Zehardt broke it. There is such a skill.

"I've said it all, it's just some mice." Ji Lian walked aside at this time, pointed to a small hole in the ground sealed with wooden boards, and said, "It should have crawled away."

"Okay, it's fine." Tianren Mu smiled slightly, and planned to leave - but before he left, he walked to a corner and casually lifted a piece of canvas covering the corner with his sword.

The canvas covered only some charcoal.

"My lord, what are you going to do..." Ji Lian frowned at this moment and said, "I can't hide anything here, can I?"

"It's okay, I'm just curious." Tianren Mu shrugged, "Okay, I really won't bother you... Well, let's finish reading this."

As he spoke, he used his long sword to pick apart another piece of canvas.

"what is this."

But this time, what was covered under the canvas turned out to be a sword inlaid with precious stones, which looked extraordinary at first glance... In addition, there was a silver mask.

Jiren was also taken aback by what he saw at this moment.

"It seems that I have to work overtime tonight." Tianren Mu narrowed his eyes at this time, and Long Jian Lightning pointed out, "Mr. In connection with the assassination in the afternoon."
