Douluo: Man is in peerless world, resurrecting angel

Chapter 8 There are bad people in the city lord’s mansion.

Mr. Zhao's fake smile froze on his face.

No matter how outrageous he was, he would never have thought that Xue Bei would do this to him.

Don’t you, Commissioner Xue, have any emotional intelligence or courtesy?

When I came up, I asked others if they could see the body of their father!

"I'm not joking." Xue Bei stared at Mr. Zhao, his face serious and unsmiling.

When Mr. Zhao reported it to the Shrek Supervisory Team, he just said that City Lord Zhao was killed by the evil soul master, but Xue Bei still hoped that it would be better to open the coffin and conduct an autopsy.

Xue Bei was able to deduce the evil soul master's strength and moves from the wounds of the deceased, thus deliberately guarding against the evil soul master's methods.

"The remains of our ancestors have just been buried."

Mr. Zhao's face was stiff and he quickly changed the subject: "Commissioner Xue should come in first."

Xue Bei did not stay on this topic for long and followed Mr. Zhao into the cabin.

Judging from Mr. Zhao's reaction, he probably won't give Xue Bei a chance to conduct an autopsy.

Even if Xue Bei was not a member of the Shrek Supervisory Team, he might have been kicked out by Mr. Zhao.

"Please, Commissioner Xue."

The interior space of Mr. Zhao's cabin was luxurious. Xue Bei walked in and looked around curiously.

Although Xue Bei has entered the middle class of Douluo Continent through his own efforts, compared with hereditary nobles like Mr. Zhao, he still belongs to the category of country bumpkin.

The cabin has wide stained glass windows, soft and luxurious black velvet curtains on both sides, two large leather chairs and a large mahogany writing desk.

"Commissioner Xue, do you want to have a drink?" Mr. Zhao asked.

Before Xue Bei could refuse, Mr. Zhao had already asked his servants to make arrangements.

A waiter wearing a thick snow-white tuxedo pushed a brass trolley into the cabin. There were two silver goblets and a crystal decanter on the tray.

"Soul Master?"

Xue Bei's brows jumped.

He is very sensitive to the feeling of soul power, so when the waiter came in, Xue Bei discovered that the servant pouring the wine was actually a soul master!

Although the number of soul masters has increased a lot compared to ten thousand years ago, there are still not many soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent.

Soul masters are born with the ability to cultivate soul power. Compared with ordinary people who have martial souls but no soul power, they are born with a higher level.

Would this kind of soul master be willing to give to the current people?

Well, the master is still a noble from a noble family, so it is normal for a low-level soul master to serve as a subordinate to a high-level soul master.

Otherwise, Jiang Nannan would not have almost sold herself to the Xuanming family.

Xue Bei and Mr. Zhao sat down on two leather chairs. The waiter placed the tray in the brass cart on the low table between them, and then took out a dagger with a shiny ivory handle.

"Commissioner Xue, Zhao Si is my personal attendant, and naturally he is also a first-ring soul master." Mr. Zhao said calmly.

This bartender turned out to be called Zhao Si...a very funny name.

Xue Bei thought.

Zhao Si scraped off the wax seal, turned his wrist slightly, inserted the dagger into the cork, and pulled it out with a pop, and the liquid slowly flowed into the silver cup.

"Commissioner Xue, please." Mr. Zhao said with a smile.

"Please." Xue Bei politely picked up the silver goblet.

Douluo mainlanders naturally like to talk at the wine table. Xue Bei only took a few sips before returning to the issue of the evil soul master.

And this time Mr. Zhao also answered all questions and introduced many situations.

"Can Mr. Zhao please explain the situation again?" Xue Bei asked.

Mr. Zhao nodded, "I was on the cruise ship at that time. I heard from my father's men that at that time, my father was just handling official business alone in the city lord's palace, and then he was attacked and died by the evil soul master who sneaked in."

"Oh."

Xue Bei nodded.

Handling official business?

I remember that the news I heard in the city was that City Lord Zhao was having a party.

Mr. Zhao continued: "When they heard their father's screams, they went to his room to check. When they entered the room and found his body, the evil soul master had already left."

"Approximately how much time has passed?"

"Ah?" Mr. Zhao asked puzzledly.

"I mean, how much time has passed since City Lord Zhao was killed and the body was found?" Xue Bei asked.

"Well" Mr. Zhao actually fell into silence, and then he looked at Zhao Si.

"." Xue Bei.

No,

As the son of the deceased, have you never paid attention to your father?

Do you want Zhao Si to answer?

Can he answer it?

"Less than three minutes."

Zhao Si actually answered it.

"." Xue Bei.

Who is the son of City Lord Zhao?

Xue Bei pointed in the direction of Wushan City. Looking at it from this perspective, it was bright and bright.

"Actually, I came here yesterday."

Mr. Zhao took a sip from his wine glass and continued to listen to Xue Bei's story.

"I have also seen the City Lord's Mansion in Wushan City. It is really well built, unlike the government offices in some cities that deliberately do not repair the government offices in order to highlight the integrity of officials."

"Ah."

"I can even tell that the City Lord's Mansion was once a military fortress."

"Military fortress?" Mr. Zhao has lived here for so long, and he still doesn't know that his city lord's mansion has such a military function.

"As early as ten thousand years ago, Wushan City was built by the Balak Kingdom as a transportation hub on the Barak River. When the Wuhun Empire collapsed, Wushan City was originally burned to the ground. It was not until the second Tiandou Civil War that it was Only then was it clearly given the significance of military frontier.”

Xue Bei talked a lot and knew the history of this city very well.

"Then what?" Mr. Zhao asked, he was a little drunk.

Xue Bei picked up the wine glass but did not drink it. Instead, he shook it slightly to make the wine ripple.

"In the following time, Wushan City became the frontline of the Tianhun Empire and the Douling Empire, and the thousand-year struggle between the two countries centered on the Barak River.

As a border city, Wushan City is a group of fortresses. It was not until the past few hundred years that the Tianhun Empire firmly controlled both sides of the Barak River. Because of the need to develop land, the fortress group of Wushan City was gradually dismantled. "

"Thank you to Teacher Xue from Shrek Academy for giving me a tutoring history lesson."

Mr. Zhao is already a little impatient.

"so what?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is a remnant of the fortress complex. The facilities and terrain inside are designed so that only a few people can guard a large area.

Is it possible for an outsider to complete the assassination and escape in three minutes? "

Of course it's impossible for outsiders.

How could an outsider who was not familiar with the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion possibly complete the assassination and escape in three minutes?

What's more, City Lord Zhao is also a powerful Soul Emperor.

Kill a soul emperor and escape without a trace within three minutes... The agility-attack soul emperor is good at concealing his aura.

"Are you saying that the evil soul master is from within the City Lord's Mansion?"

Mr. Zhao slapped the table and stood up, angrily saying to Zhao Si: "Go and check, find someone and hand him over to Commissioner Xue!"

If outsiders don't understand the internal structure of the City Lord's Mansion, then naturally only the insiders will.

"Mr. Zhao, don't be anxious first?"

Xue Bei stopped the drunk Mr. Zhao, hoping that he would not be so impulsive.

"Don't worry, Commissioner Xue, I will definitely handle this matter."

Mr. Zhao once again announced that he would thoroughly investigate the evildoer, and then asked Zhao Si to send Xue Bei out.

"Commissioner Xue, please."

Zhao Si wanted to help Xue Bei get off the boat, but Xue Bei politely refused.

At this time, there was no trace of alcohol on Xue Bei's face, and he used his soul power to dispel the alcohol.

"Mr. Zhao Si, that evil soul master... do you think he is a mole?"

Zhao Si smiled gently, "It's not Commissioner Xue, did you say there was a mole?"

"Although the internal structure of the City Lord's Mansion is complicated, you can still know the route by spending time investigating."

Xue Bei looked at Zhao Si with a smile, "Why did Mr. Zhao immediately confirm that there was a mole? Did he even want to catch the person urgently?"
