Volume 1: Storm in the Western Regions Chapter 68: Dead End
This shopkeeper looks quite smart, but he didn't expect that he is also a walnut when it comes to handling things. He won't be enlightened until he smashes them! It's like someone selling wine and someone selling flowers, but who stipulated that wine and flowers can't be sold together?
Seeing the "super detective" still talking endlessly, Zhao Rang really wanted to slap him to the rafters, and then fall down and smash him to pieces!
But now he could only wait patiently while the deputy shopkeeper took the money from the counter and gave it to him as mediation fee for this time.
But if Zhao Rang thinks about it, this man does have an advantage! A stupid person will think that he is smart. Even if he tells what happened here in the future, no one will believe him.
Another point is that he collects money!
If you don't have a habit, you can't have sex with him.
Either he is lustful, he is greedy for money, or he is addicted to alcohol. He must have a little bit of it to make him look real.
Especially this "super detective", he is greedy for money and always charges a mediation fee. As for Tongbao Bank, it is really not afraid that he won't open his mouth, what is afraid is that he won't take anything forced on him.
The recipient has a short hand. If you accept my money, you have to think about where to point your finger. As for other things, I will make it clear.
The deputy shopkeeper came back after almost half an hour. Zhao Rang asked with a cold face:
"Am I asking you to send this fool away in just a cup of tea? Why are you taking so long?"
On the contrary, the deputy shopkeeper looked aggrieved and said with a groan:
"Mr. Zhao, that... that... the key to the bank was always carried by Shen Liushu. The younger one broke the lock under the counter and got the spare one!"
Zhao Rang saw that he was sweating profusely and it didn't look like he was lying, so he waved his hand and asked him to send the money to the "super detective" quickly.
As expected of someone who often reaches out, the detective saw the deputy shopkeeper handing him a brown paper bag without asking a question. He immediately took it, weighed it a few times, put it in his arms, looked at Zhao Rang with a smile and said:
"Mr. Zhao, Mr. Ximen, don't worry, the murderer has been caught and the case is closed. I will leave first!"
Zhao Rang reluctantly put a smile on his face, said hello to him, and then watched the "detective" disappear deep into the courtyard.
Ximen Dazhuang came over full of doubts and asked:
"Brother Rang, did you listen to what he said?"
Zhao Rang shook his head blankly. He didn't want to do anything at the moment, he just wanted to sleep. It would be better if he could take a hot bath and eat a piece of roast beef or half a roast chicken before going to bed.
"Then who was the murderer he finally said he caught?"
Ximen Dazhuang asked relentlessly.
The anger in Zhao Rang's heart kept rising, and he said angrily:
"It's me! It's me! It's me! Do you even need to ask? I will surrender in a moment!"
When Ximen Dazhuang saw that Zhao Rang was extremely angry with him, he didn't know what to do for a moment and just stood there stupidly.
Zhao Rang cursed a few more curse words, which finally relieved the knot in his chest.
After walking out for a long time, he turned back and said to Ximen Dazhuang:
"I'm going to bed. Even if the sky falls, don't call me!"
Then he said to the deputy shopkeeper:
"Additional guards will be sent on duty. Starting from tomorrow, Tongbao Bank's Chagan Tologai branch will be closed for three days!"
The deputy shopkeeper was shocked, but he still complied.
Bankruptcy is no small matter.
You must know that the main store located in the north has not had a day off since its grand opening, and has even been open for twelve hours, so it has an excellent reputation.
Money never sleeps, but they must implement Zhao Rang's words.
The deputy shopkeeper quickly found a literate worker and asked him to write a pair of water cards announcing that he would be closed for three days and hang them at the door.
When they wrote about the reason, both of them fell into deep thought... Asking Zhao Rang again was obviously asking for trouble, and he had to think of this idea himself.
On the other side, after Zhao Rang returned to his previous room, he lay down on the bed as if dead and remained motionless for a long time.
He didn't know how long he lay like this before he moved his body and found that it was already a little bright outside.
When Zhao Rang got up from the bed, he might have moved too violently, and Zhao Rang felt dizzy and wanted to vomit.
But everything in my stomach had been digested long ago, and I couldn't vomit anything even if I wanted to. After retching a few times, I felt a lot more comfortable in my stomach, so I took off all my clothes.
He looked at the bathtub and saw that although there was still water, it was already cold. Zhao Rang tested the temperature with his hands, and finally shook his head and gave up, and went back to lying on the bed.
The light outside the window became more and more dazzling, so Zhao Rang covered his head with a quilt. Although this could block the light, over time, he became suffocated and breathless.
I flipped back and forth several times, making myself so upset that I felt like crying. I wanted to hit my head against the wall and knock myself out.
When I close my eyes, my mind is a mess.
Zhao Rang almost forgot why he came to the Western Regions, and why he came to investigate Gan Toluo Gai...
Remembering that Yuan Kexin lived next door, Zhao Rang's senses recovered a little bit. He remembered that he came to the Western Regions because he promised her brother Yuan Mingkong to come for a visit. He came to Chagan Tuologai because Yuan Mingkong
Mingkong left a message, so I came to meet him.
But what was the fundamental purpose of agreeing to Yuan Mingkong's coming to the Western Regions in the first place?
After thinking for a long time, Zhao Rang finally remembered that it was about 500,000 feather arrows.
But now, let alone not even seeing the feathers of the arrows, Yuan Mingkong's whereabouts are unknown, and many people died for no reason.
And these seem to be centered on Zhao Rang himself. As long as it is something he wants to do, something will definitely go wrong. The person he is looking for will definitely disappear.
It seems like there is an invisible hand controlling everything in the dark.
Zhao Rang opened his tired eyes again and looked at the sunlight coming in from the window lattice. Is it possible that if he raised his head three feet high, there really was a god?
Thinking of this, Zhao Rang couldn't help but shudder... Thinking about how he and Ximen Dazhuang did a lot of things to insult the gods and sages when he was a child.
Climbing over a wall and peeing in a temple is just a small fuss. Ximen Dazhuang once said that the pages of a book are full of truths, and when you wipe your buttocks, it feels different and comfortable. This is considered an amazing move!
After thinking about the fun scenes from the past for a while, Zhao Rang felt a lot more relaxed. He was finally able to close his eyes and sleep peacefully.
Not long after, a steady sound of snoring sounded in the room. Zhao Ran even started to daydream!
In the dream, he was alone, walking in a dark box. There were no friends around him, and there was no knife in his hand.
No one knows how long this alley is, but it only has two directions: front and back.
After walking for a while, Zhao Rang started running.
It wasn't until he felt exhausted in his dream that he realized that the alley turned out to be a dead end!
And he is already trapped here, unable to advance or retreat.
