Chapter 1421 Hidden people, inexplicable motives
“The first question.” Alice asked: “I want to know what happened here twenty-seven years ago?”
The drunkard took a gold coin from the table and said: "Twenty-seven years ago, nothing happened here. At that time, this was still a small village. The biggest thing was which family's child fell into the well. "Which wife is having an affair with someone else again?"
"What happened in the nearby city?"
"There are a lot of things happening there, but with Lulka?" Sir Husband has nothing to do with it, because Sir Lurkav had not come to Xisha at that time. Do you still want to know what happened at that time?" The drunkard took another gold coin.
Alice said: "You mean Sir Lurkav is not a local, he comes from other places?"
"Yes." The drunkard took another gold coin.
Alice asked again: "Do you know what happened before Sir came to Xisha?"
"I don't know."
"When did he Coming to Xisha? ”
"Let me think about it." The drunkard thought about it for a while and said, "It should be the year 7380 of the Holy Garden. That's right, that's the year. I still remember that year he just came to Xisha and planned to settle here. He also hired me to build a new building for him. His house was not as big as it is now.”
“73. "80 years, that's twenty-six years ago." Alice murmured: "Something must have happened twenty-seven years ago, and Lurkafu came to settle in Xisha twenty-six years ago."
"Do you have anything else to ask?" The drunkard looked at the gold coins eagerly, hoping that she would ask more questions.
Alice still had some questions to ask, but at this time she was only thinking about Lurkaf Kobochin, and said: "Don't worry, I'll come back to you later, and you can Tell me everything you know." She took out a bag of money and said to the bartender, "Bartender, this money. Send it to you. All the expenses of this old gentleman today will be recorded with me. I will come back soon.” Yes, I’m waiting for you here.”
After leaving the tavern, Alice ran straight to the city hall. She found Deputy Mayor Bandela and said, "I would like to check the files again. Can they be the personnel files?"
Kopchin is a nobleman. He has a title, and Xisha City was founded by him. Of course, there are his archives here. In the archives, Alice flipped through Cobochin's life records, which included records from his birth to his creation of Xisha City, as well as the knighthood he received from the king.
“These should be all of Kobochin’s personnel records. It seems that from his birth to his knighthood, all the more important things have been recorded one by one. There doesn’t seem to be any problem. "But there is nothing related to twenty-seven years ago." Si An said: "This is strange. Something must have happened to Cobochin twenty-seven years ago, but there is no record here..." A sudden move occurred in her heart: "Could it be..."
She quickly looked through Cobochin's files again and found a few more for comparison. "As expected, it seems that what happened that year must not have happened in Zaliba, but a foreign incident, or an international incident. What happened abroad twenty-seven years ago, twenty-seven years ago... ..." Alice carefully searched the memories in her mind, searching for major international events that occurred in 7379. After all, she was too young and knew too little about what had happened in the world in the past, so she couldn't find anything memorable. This is just a local archives. Generally, things that happen abroad are not recorded. Only the National Archives can record them.
“What should I do? How should I find out what happened twenty-seven years ago?”
...
Outside the tavern, in a deserted alley, a half-drunk painter and drunkard was talking to a man with a white scarf on his head and a gauze mask on his face.
"She said it, but only half of it. She said she would ask me later." The drunkard said.
The masked man said: "Remember that these things you said are what you know. No one has told you. If you dare to reveal my existence to others..."
" Then I'll die." The drunkard didn't wait for him to finish his words.
The masked man nodded: "Very good, you are a smart man, this is for you." A bag of money was thrown into the hands of the drunkard. The drunkard collected the money and immediately left the alley.
......
After coming out of the personnel archives, Alice first went to the tavern to ask more questions to the drunkard, and she also got another piece of information. Twenty-six years Not only did Lulkaf Pokochin come to West Sarawak, but Mayor Lulkaf Khalid also came here from other places in the same year. Then Alice got a room for speculation, that is, if Cobochin and Khalid came to settle in Xisha from other places because of the same thing, then Khalid was probably not killed because of Cobochin relationships were implicated. If this hypothesis can be established, then the murderer's motive was not simply to murder Kobochin, but a murder plan based on something that happened that year. Alice secretly thought: "Now all the clues are focused on the incident twenty-seven years ago. If we can figure out what happened twenty-seven years ago, everything will come to light."
At this time, the officials from the public security office hurriedly ran towards the manor. Alice stopped one and asked what happened, only to learn that it was the Jazz's fourth wife, Reiko, who was missing.
It was the knight's butler Ivo who discovered that Rico had disappeared. He told everyone that the lady and her maid had been missing for two days. At first, she thought that the lady had taken her servant Nasha to play outside the manor, but it was not until last night that she He didn't come back, which made him anxious. He did not dare to report the matter to his master at the time, so he could only search around with his servants in the manor. However, they searched inside and outside the manor all night and found nothing, so he reported the matter to his master Kobochin and reported the case. .
After receiving the report, Binx naturally launched all available personnel to search the city. However, several hours later, he still could not be found. In the evening, Deputy Mayor Bandera heard about this and came, accompanied by Naviti and Cesanil.
The disappearance of Sir's wife is an extremely serious matter. Bandera said: "Could this be done by the murderer again?"
"Then Madam, she might be the one who did it? It's dangerous." Epsilin said: "But we haven't seen the body yet, so we can't be sure. If it's the fake Nisim, maybe he took the wife as a hostage."
"If that's the case. If you take him as a hostage, then he will put forward conditions, and wait a little longer.”
Kobochin nodded: "Well, that's all."
...
Late at night, in the secret room in the backyard of the manor, severe torture was imposed on Nasha layer by layer. Poor Nasha Nasha had been beaten to the point where she was no longer human, and she was still hanging there with her last breath.
When Cobochin came in, Ivo stopped the torture instrument in his hand.
"How's it going?" This is what Kobochin asked.
Ivo shook his head: "All the tortures have been used, but she just refused to tell."
"If she doesn't tell, then she will be beaten again." Seeing such a tragic scene, Kobochin's face showed no trace of emotion. Some compassion is only cold and cruel.
Ivo said: "Master, if you keep beating her, she will die."
"She...would she rather die than say anything?"
Ivo No answer.
"Damn! These damn Sudmit remnants are so difficult to deal with. I have been hiding here for more than 20 years, and they still come!"
"What should I do now?" Ivo asked .
Kopchin said angrily: "Since she wants to die, let her die!"
"This... master, should you think about it again." Ivo said: "They still have There is an accomplice who has not been found. If she is killed, then Mrs. Reiko Not to mention her stubbornness."
After thinking about it, Copochin could only suppress his anger and said: "Then resuscitate her first, and then slowly torture her. I don’t believe that she didn’t speak up if there are other ways to do it!”
At the same time, a group of mysterious masked men in black came outside the manor. They jumped into the high court and dived deeper into the manor...
