Although it is not exactly green and lush, the appearance of having been uninhabited for quite some time is still before our eyes.
They have entered this empty house.
Tianren Mu swept a layer of dust on the furniture with his fingers, stared at Jilian and asked: "Is this really the residence of the traveling merchant Zehart you mentioned?"
Ji Liandao: "That's right. This is Uncle Zehart's home... He often goes out and stays away from the royal capital for a long time, so occasionally I come back here to clean for him."
"How long has it been since you last came?" Tianren Mu frowned.
Ji Liandao: "It's almost... almost two months... During this period, the business of the weapons shop has not been very good, so I am not in the mood."
"You said that this person named Zehat only appeared yesterday." Tianren Mumu said expressionlessly: "You mean, he returned to the royal capital, but did not return to his home?"
"This should be the case." Jilian nodded, then pointed to a cup on the table and said: "This cup should be where I drank water when I cleaned it last time. It has not been touched yet.
…”
"Why did Zehart show up yesterday looking for you and Max?"
"It's nothing special." Jilian thought back and said, "He said he just came back to the capital and passed by our shop, so he came in to take a look... By the way, Uncle Zehart must have had a drink with his father.
When he came out, I smelled a smell of alcohol... However, now that I think about it, my father's subsequent reaction seemed a bit strange."
"What's so strange?" Tianren Mu asked.
Jilian thought for a while and said: "Dad must have drunk too much. He didn't wake up until Uncle Zehart left, but after he woke up, he asked about Uncle Zehart's whereabouts... He seemed to be in a hurry. In addition...
…”
"in addition?"
Jilian shook his head: "It's nothing, it's just that my father later told Mr. Luo that the weapons would be picked up after three days."
"Why do you have to wait three days?"
"Dad said that Mr. Luo's sword is very special and requires a lot of time to maintain." Jiren thought for a while and said: "I think this may be just an excuse. He must have been drunk at the time and was not in a good condition, so he found it.
Excuse... Dad often delays the work of customers, and often doesn't do anything until the last minute. I have told him many times, but there is nothing I can do... So he said he has to wait three days. I guess it is an old habit of his.
Did it again."
Tianren Mu thought for a moment and said, "Did the Zehat you mentioned leave empty-handed?"
"That's right." Jilian nodded and immediately realized, "You don't think Uncle Zehart stole Mr. Luo's weapons, right? How is that possible? Uncle Zehart and dad have been good friends for decades.
Friend, sometimes he even brings some precious materials back to Dad, how could he do such a thing?"
"Any possibility is questionable." Tianren Mu said calmly: "Anyway, according to your previous confession, you have not seen the sword since Max took it away and entered the small workshop. In other words, the sword
You can’t determine exactly when it was lost, can you?”
Jilian opened his mouth, but could not refute, so he could only grit his teeth and said: "Uncle Zehart would not do such a thing, let alone kill daddy! You don't know, one year on daddy's birthday, Zehart
Uncle Hart even rushed back from out of town. It was raining heavily that night and he was soaked to the skin, but he still remembered to buy his favorite food for his father! I believe you say that they two love each other, but if you want to say
If we kill each other, I...I will eat this cup!"
Perhaps the topic of two old men falling in love and killing each other was too heavy. Tianren Mu waved his hand, shook his head and said: "Let's leave this issue aside, but you can't deny that the person who bought the murder weapon is probably Zehart.
Since you are sure that it was not Zehart who committed the crime, the reason why we found him is not to arrest him, but to find out the whole story and try to clear his name... You also hope that you can clear your name
You’re a suspect of Uncle Zehart, right?”
"You...what do you want me to do?"
Tian Ren Mu patted Jilian on the shoulder: "You said that Max and he have been friends for many years and have a very deep relationship, so I think that if he is still in the capital, he will not be surprised once he hears the news of Max's death.
He will be indifferent... He will come to you, and I need you to find a way to notify me at that time, and find a way to keep Zehart."
Jilian opened his mouth.
"Zerhat needs to prove his innocence, and Max's death cannot be left unexplained." Heavenly Man Mu Zhengse said: "They are all important people to you. I think you should know how to do it."
"Okay...Okay." Jilian was silent for a moment, and finally nodded.
…
Tianren Mu didn't stay long. He quickly said goodbye to Jilian and Luo Qiu, got into the Security Department's special car and left... At this time, only Boss Luo and three other people were left in Zehart's residence.
Jilian looked like he was in a state of despair. Perhaps what this young man who was about to become an adult had experienced today had exceeded the scope of his growth in the past dozen years.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Luo, I didn't expect you to be involved in this matter..."
"Do you think Mr. Zehart will come to see you?" Boss Luo suddenly asked.
"If such a big thing happened, he would definitely come if he heard about it." Jilian said with certainty: "But Uncle Zehart often leaves just as he says, without any warning... I am now afraid that he will leave yesterday."
After leaving the weapon shop, he left the royal capital again. If this is the case, then the suspicion of Uncle Zehart will be...really difficult to clear."
"It seems that he is really good to you." Boss Luo said casually: "Otherwise, you wouldn't be so worried about him."
Jilian said quietly: "I have been an orphan since I was a child and was raised by my father. My father is like my biological father... But when I was growing up, Uncle Zehart was like a dream to me.
He told me a lot of outside things, told me a lot of experiences, and brought me many gifts...that feeling is different."
Luo Qiu said: "I also have such an uncle. He always teaches me many things."
Jilian subconsciously looked up at Boss Luo.
Luo Qiu looked at him, smiled and said, "It must be a very happy thing to have such an uncle in my growing life."
"I always feel..." Jilian was stunned, and subconsciously said: "Mr. Luo's smile always gives people a... kind of power, and they feel that their mood suddenly becomes better."
"It would be my honor." Luo Qiu smiled slightly: "Let's go back to the weapon shop. Maybe Mr. Zehart is waiting for you now."
"That's right, it's possible." Jilian nodded, "No matter how depressed I am, it won't help now... I must find the real murderer of dad. This is what I should do now."
Boss Luo nodded encouragingly.
They plan to leave Zehart's residence now.
"By the way, do you know who the woman in this painting is?" Boss Luo asked, pointing to a hanging painting in the living room when he was leaving.
"I don't know." Jilian shook his head: "It seems to have been hung here a long time ago... I remember once I asked Uncle Zehart about the woman in the painting. He seemed to be a little depressed at that time.
, I haven’t asked him again since then...will there be any clues?”
"I'm just a little curious." Boss Luo shook his head and said softly: "Let's go."
…
…
"Sir, they have left Zehart's residence. Judging from the situation, they should go back to [Locke's weapons shop]."
On the second floor of a teahouse on Liuhua Street, Tianren Mu was boiling a pot of hot water... The hot water was boiling, and he poured it directly into the cup. He drank it in one gulp without waiting for the water to cool down.
The subordinate who was reporting could not help but feel a dull pain in his tongue.
"You can continue to follow." Tianren Mu stood up directly at this time: "If there is any movement, report to me immediately. I want to go to the palace."
The subordinate's eyes changed, and then he asked tentatively: "Sir, are you going to the palace to see the Sword Master?"
"If the person who died was just an ordinary palace craftsman, I would not be interested in this case." I heard Mu Tianren say indifferently: "But the person who died was the [Explosion Hammer King] who had disappeared for twenty years... Don't you think
, isn’t it simple behind this matter? My teacher and [Explosive Hammer King] are from the same era. Although I haven’t heard of any friendship between them, they will know more things than the younger us.
Some... you go ahead and make sure you don't get discovered, especially the black-haired young man next to Jilian, he's a bit unusual."
He's just a young man from a rich family, what's so special about him, and he also brings a little girl who doesn't understand the world... Despite this, the subordinate didn't mean to reveal his feelings. He lowered his head, said yes, and then quickly
Left the teahouse.
"Three Divine Weapons, [Ester of Aurora]?" Tianren Mu murmured thoughtfully at this time: "It is said that there is another Three Divine Weapons hidden in the palace..."
…
…
"Stop, this is the palace of Her Royal Highness the Princess, no one is allowed to enter!"
The heavily armed guards appeared in front of Tianren Mu in an orderly manner, displaying sharp weapons and bursts of killing intent... It is said that many of the guards here came from the fighting arena.
Heavenly Man Mu Zhuangruo easily reached out and pressed down the spears that were intertwined in front of him, "I am Heavenly Man Mu, the second-in-command of the Royal Capital Security Department. I am not here to see Her Royal Highness the Princess. I know how to come to see Lord Sword Master... I
She is his student. If you can't go with us, I'd be kind enough to inform you on my behalf."
"Please wait a moment." The guard did not let him go directly, nor did he refuse when he arrived. He quickly sent someone to confirm.
Tianren Mu stood waiting outside the palace. Soon after, a middle-aged man in white was seen walking out slowly, accompanied by several guards.
"Tianren Mu, I have met the teacher." Tianren Mu quickly became respectful.
The middle-aged man in white... the sword master of the kingdom, Riyuro, nodded. He ordered the guards to go down, and then walked aside with Tianren Mu, "It is the princess's palace inside. Without His Highness's permission, I am
It’s not convenient to let you in. If you have anything to come to me, just talk to me here.”
Tianren Mu couldn't help but frowned, "Teacher, as the sword master of the kingdom, you have a noble status..."
Sword Master Riyura waved his hand, "The Dragon Clan has done me a great favor. I am here to guard the princess of the kingdom to repay this kindness... If it's not for anything else, you don't have to think too much. If you have anything to do, just tell me quickly. You
If you stay for a long time, there may be some trouble."
"What trouble?" Tianren Mu couldn't help but be startled.
Sword Master Riyuro just shook his head, as if he didn't want to say more.
Tenjin Mu could only quickly talk about the consequences of the incident... Sword Master Riyuro looked calm at first, thinking that the student wanted to get some pointers on handling the case from him, but it turned out that the deceased was actually related to
The [Explosive Hammer Saint] of the same era couldn't help but be surprised.
"...Well, I also heard about [Explosive Hammer Saint] back then." Sword Master Riyuro pondered: "I only heard that he suddenly disappeared... Regarding this matter, I also heard about it back then.
It was a sensation, but as time passed, everyone completely forgot about it. Unexpectedly, the [Explosion Saint] who dared to challenge the Dragon Clan would die tragically on the streets of the capital, and even be abandoned under a bridge.
It's so desolate... You and I can only imagine the changes in life."
"The teacher said that Max once challenged the mainland dragon clan?" Tianren Mu couldn't help but open his mouth, "What was the result?"
Sword Master Riyura smiled bitterly and said: "The result is naturally not good. Although [Explosive Saint] is also a strong man at the first level of the holy realm, there are no less than twenty holy realms in the Dragon Clan. How can he succeed in the challenge? I heard that that
It was a disastrous defeat... But speaking of it, [Explosive Saint] disappeared not long after he failed to challenge the Dragon Clan. Some people said that he became invisible because he was discouraged. Others said that he might have died of serious injuries.
There are different opinions on why he died in a barren mountain... But I didn't expect that he actually came to the royal capital, worked as a small craftsman, and hid himself."
"Why did Max challenge the Dragon Clan in the first place?" Celestial Being Mu couldn't help but curiously asked.
"I don't know exactly what I am willing to do." Sword Master Riyuro thought for a moment and said, "But after that battle, the Dragon Clan issued a killing order to hunt down Riyuro throughout the continent because he stole
I took away a treasure among the Dragon Clan... I didn’t expect that after so many years, Max would eventually die. Perhaps his death was related to the Dragon Clan’s fatwa back then?”
"It actually involves the Dragon Clan..." Tianren Mu's face was solemn at this time: "I didn't expect that things were getting more and more complicated... Maybe those three little thieves were really just cheap."
"What little thief?" Yuro subconsciously asked from behind the sword.
Heavenly Man Mu Zheng wanted to explain, but at this moment he heard shouts and shouts coming from the princess palace... there seemed to be a fight.
"Someone is good at princess residences!" Yuro snorted coldly from the sword, and the strong man from the holy realm immediately rose from the sky and fell into the princess palace.
Tian Ren Mu frowned and took advantage of the chaos to sneak into the palace.
Soon, I saw a group of guards forming several circles inside and outside... And in the fighting circle, I saw the sword master Riyuro fighting alone with a silver mask on his face.
man.
Tianren Mu couldn't help but be surprised at this moment. The masked man who was fighting with his teacher was almost the same as Uncle Zehart described by Jiren.
However, in the middle of the fight, the man in the silver mask was seen holding a sword with shining colors. Tenjin Mu's teacher, Sword Master Riyuro, was unable to withstand the sharpness of the strange sword, and was at a slight disadvantage.
Seeing this scene, Tianren Mu, who was quickly integrating all the information in his mind, couldn't help but murmured to himself: "No way...could this sword..."
