Tang Xiu was filled with disbelief. When he couldn't help but look at Mo Jie again, he found that he was chatting with Ouyang Yao.
He still had a relaxed and friendly expression on his face, as if nothing had happened, and said calmly:
"The young master and I just met at the golf course and have already sent him back to the hotel."
But the tone seemed to have been processed, and the word "meeting" was a little heavier.
Tang Xiu's heart suddenly sank to the bottom.
Originally, she was still a little lucky, thinking that the unpredictable might just be aware of their assassination plan and come here deliberately to show off.
However, he said with certainty that he had been to the golf course, and sent Ouyang Ao back to the hotel from the golf course. With Ouyang Ao as a "witness", it proved that Mu Zhi was not lying and that he had indeed gone to the golf course.
And Caius was waiting for him on the golf course. It was impossible that he had not encountered Mozhi. The result said it all.
The unpredictable words were meant for her to show off in a subtle way. Caius was killed by him!
He's playing dumb!
This is a provocation!
Tang Xiu suddenly became angry and was about to take action, but suddenly found that he could not do that.
The fewer people who knew about the unpredictable assassination plan, the better. If Caius succeeded, it would not matter much if others knew about it. Naturally, the teacher with an eye for justice, Saul Underwood, would clean up the mess.
But not now!
Failed!
Now he has made it clear that he will expose the unpredictable purpose of the assassination to Ouyang Xingsheng, which may affect subsequent tasks - after all, he still needs to discuss three-way cooperation with Ouyang Xingsheng.
Mo Ke is Master Ouyang's mentor, and he can barely be considered Ouyang Yao's man. If he has been killed, the teacher can be asked to deal with the aftermath and give Mo Ke an excuse to violate Pandora.
But Mu Zhi is not dead, how can the teacher find a reason?
Besides, what's the use of getting up and arguing?
Can you kill someone by swearing? It's just a pointless dispute. Even if I take action regardless of the consequences, I'm afraid I won't be able to defeat him. After all, there are two people in white on the table!
Tang Xiu could only choose to endure it.
She suddenly realized that Mu Zhi appeared here just to embarrass herself, to humiliate herself.
With two "helpers" in white.
Fortunately, she was good at controlling her emotions. She endured the hatred of her senior brother being killed and managed to keep a smile on her face.
It's just that this smile is quite twisted...
In fact, Mo Zhi didn't think that much. He completely ignored Tang Xiu, whose face turned cold next to him, and continued talking to Ouyang Yao:
"Which unit will Ouyang Xingsheng visit today?"
"It's been really hard on you these past few days. You've been working non-stop."
Ouyang Yao still kept smiling and responded:
"It should be the Transportation Department's turn. I'm not working hard. The hard work is the Hot Springs City Hall. They have made a lot of preparations in advance to prepare for this inspection."
The province's words were profound, and for a moment it was difficult to tell whether he was praising the Hot Springs City Hall or being sarcastic.
However, he still got the answer he wanted from Ouyang Yao's expression.
Ouyang Yao did not know about the assassination just now.
That's right, the purpose of Mu Zhi appearing here is to confirm whether Ouyang Yao is an enemy and an accomplice of the assassination plan.
Ouyang Yao was in the middle of Kaius' assassination. After all, he helped the two yellow-robed men "tangle" Zongchen and Akali. It was impossible to tell whether he was being used by Kaius or the original. is one of the participants.
Moreover, there was also the premise that he would become Ouyang Ao's mentor. Without this, I am afraid that Caius would not have the chance to take action.
Unexpectedly felt that it was necessary to confirm Ouyang Yao's character. If he couldn't even figure out who the enemy was, how could he still play with a hammer?
From Ouyang Yao's conversation, Mo Zhi already knew that he was being used by the two yellow men and should not be an enemy.
Thinking of this, Mu Zhi slowly breathed a sigh of relief.
Fortunately not. If even Ouyang Yao was Saul Underwood's man, that would be troublesome.
If he is not only targeted by the Pandora Trial Council, but also by the federal provinces, his future will be extremely difficult.
After getting the answer, Mu Zhi ate a small piece of steak, and then glanced at Tang Xiu intentionally or unintentionally:
"Tang Huangyi, why didn't Caius Huangyi come today?"
When Tang Xiu heard this, his fists under the table suddenly became ashen.
As if he didn't see it, his whole body trembled, and he rambled:
"You two have obviously been inseparable from Ouyang Xingsheng, but Mr. Caius would be absent from breakfast. I really can't understand it."
"He's not feeling well today." Tang Xiu gritted his teeth and repeated the excuse he told the two Baiyi and Ouyang Xingsheng this morning.
Unpredictable suddenly realized, and said with a smile: "Isn't Master Caius tired?"
"I heard him say it a few days ago. He told me very excitedly that he had discovered a whole street with red lanterns. He said it was a rare place in Hot Spring City, and he even asked me to go!"
"I didn't promise him. How could a pure punisher like me go to that kind of place!"
"I guess Master Caius went there secretly last night and played too fiercely, ugh~~"
Mo Zhi sighed, with a serious look on his face:
"It's indecent! It really brings discredit to the Pandora Trial Council."
Tang Xiu almost crushed his fist.
.........
After breakfast, Tang Xiu finally followed Ouyang Xingsheng and left with a cold look on his face. Before leaving, he looked at Mo Jie with his eyes.
Mo Zhihun didn't care, with a sad look on his face, worrying about the half plate of food in front of him.
I had breakfast at Ding’s father’s house. I can still eat this and that...
What a waste!
"Alas~~~"
Zong Baiyi also looked melancholy and sighed heavily.
Akali turned around and looked around, finding no one nearby, then sat down again and said to Zongchen:
"Failed to collect useful information?"
Zong Chen remained silent and nodded: "There is no clue. Ouyang Yao seems to know our purpose."
"I can only hope that this meeting is an opportunity. This will be regarded as a formal acquaintance with Ouyang Xingsheng, and I can contact him again during the dinner."
After Zongchen finished speaking, he raised his hands and clasped his hands behind his head, leaning on the chair in a daze.
What they were talking about was the mission to investigate Ouyang Yao's purpose of this trip, and Mo Zhi knew it in his heart.
If it weren't for this mission being difficult to break through, Zong Chen wouldn't have been guided by Tang Xiu to come over and meet with Ouyang Xingsheng.
Since there was no progress, Zong Chen could only try to contact Ouyang Yao and communicate with the parties in the most clumsy way to obtain some clues.
Today's breakfast did not get any valuable content. Zongchen could only hope to get to know Ouyang Xingsheng through this meeting, and then contact him again at the dinner to dig up information.
Akali shook her head and said: "The Changsheng Festival will be in two days. After the festival, Ouyang Province will probably return, and there will not be many opportunities for dinner parties."
"Hmm~"
Hearing the sound coming from Mo Bo, the two of them looked over and found that he was concentrating on the food, his mouth full of stuff.
Unpredictably, he swallowed the last piece of chicken into his stomach, wiped his mouth, and then said:
"You are investigating in the wrong direction!"
"Ouyang Xingxing conducts inspections during the day and holds banquets at night. When can he secretly meet the people he wants to meet? Discuss the purpose of his trip?"
"Of course a dinner is also possible, but it is a public place after all, so it is difficult not to be noticed."
Zong Chen nodded upon hearing this, lowered his arms around the back of his head, and said to Mo Zhi:
"Indeed, we have considered this."
"The time when Ouyang Xingsheng is not noticed is the only personal time when he returns to the hotel after the dinner."
"So, in the past few days, Akali and I have taken turns replacing the night guards of the Supervision Office, watching Ouyang Province's schedule all night long."
"Unfortunately, until now, I still haven't found out who he went to meet!"
Akali sighed after hearing this and pointed to the dark circles under her eyes:
"I've been staring at it for two nights in a row."
Zongchen: "You have a rest tonight, let me do it instead."
Hearing this, Mu Zhi laughed dumbly and shook his head.
Seeing the strange look on Mu Yi's face, Zong Chen suddenly felt something in his heart and asked:
"Have you made any progress there?"
After saying that, he still denied himself incredibly:
"No way. You have been accompanying Master Ouyang these past few days and were not at the dinner party. How could there be any progress?"
Unpredictable looked around, lowered his voice, and said in a voice that could only be heard by three people:
"The purpose of Ouyang Yao's trip is to have a secret meeting with the second son of the federal head of state, Qin Nankai."
"The trial parliament, the federal conservatives, and the prince-general cooperated with each other."
Unpredictable said it lightly, while Zongchen and Akali, two men in white clothes, suddenly widened their eyes.
There is really progress!
Not only is there progress, but the identity of the person involved has also been learned.
Zongchen immediately stood up from his chair and stared at Mo Bo, as if asking if Mo Bo was telling the truth.
Unpredictable shrugged:
"Bai Yi, I won't joke about such an important matter."
Zong Chen was immediately overjoyed and became excited. He walked back and forth around the dining table.
Undoubtedly, what Mozhi said is an important development.
"It's actually Second Young Master Tan?!"
"How could it be Mr. Tan? What were they talking about?"
Without looking, Mu Yi could understand that Zong Chen was thinking about these two issues.
Akali next to her frowned, biting her thumb and asked:
"Three-party cooperation, what is the content of the cooperation?"
Unpredictable shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't ask."
Only then did Zong Chen remember to ask the unpredictable source of the information, and asked quickly:
"Your source of information?"
"There is definite information so quickly, how do you know it?"
Mo Zhi smiled and said casually:
"I just killed Caius, the mind-reading technique he used before he died."
Zongchen mistakenly thought that he heard wrongly, and turned to look at Akali, only to find that Akali was also looking at him with a blank expression.
His face was full of incredible expressions.
Mo Zhi saw that the time was almost up and said quickly:
"Let's leave now," he said slowly in the car.
...
The three of them left the Oriental Hotel and drove straight to the City Hall, where Captain Vera agreed to meet.
Unexpectedly, sitting in the back row, he recounted the story of killing Caius in the morning from beginning to end.
Of course, it goes without saying that he used the "net" to seduce two people in yellow clothes to attack him.
"So that's it!"
Zongchen, who was in the passenger seat, sighed:
"Caius died just like that. He is a person recognized by Pandora as the person who may become the chief in the future."
Unpredictable smiled and replied using Captain Vera's catchphrase:
"Contractors face the test of life and death at any time."
Zong Chen sighed: "I didn't expect that they would take action against you so quickly."
"You have just been promoted to red level, and you actually killed the peak orange level person."
"Fortunately, it was you who killed him."
Unpredictably, he could tell from Zong Chen's tone that he was a little scared and a little self-blame.
One of the tasks of the two men in white was to protect him on behalf of the Punisher Council, but they didn't expect to be transferred away from the mountain in the morning.
If something unexpected happens to Mu Zhi, the two men in white will not be able to explain it. Whether they have a personal relationship with Mu Zhi or the task of the fifth chief, they will not be able to face it.
Mo Cai smiled: "Captain, don't blame yourself. I noticed something unusual before going to the golf course. Since I dare to go, of course I am not going to die."
"With the Guanglan shield you gave me and the flesh and blood recovery necklace in front of me, I at least have the ability to protect myself."
"The shield of light you gave me helped turn the tide of the battle."
Zongchen and Akali were silent for a while, then changed the topic and asked:
"What's next?"
Mo Zhi nodded without hesitation and said:
"How about arresting Ouyang Yao and using our mind-reading skills on him?"
Zongchen and Akali who were driving were immediately startled, and then they realized that Mu Zhi was joking.
Mo Zhi chuckled and said, "Of course I will continue to follow up."
"Caius doesn't know the specific content of the cooperation, and Tang Xiu probably doesn't know either. Otherwise, he could take action against Tang Xiu."
After saying that, Mu Zhi felt very regretful. This was the situation he had always envisioned from the hotel. If Tang Xiu knew about it, he could "seduce" Captain Zong and do it secretly to Tang Xiu.
That's great, just complete the task.
The death of the two people sent by the Judgment Council to Hot Spring City to target him was the best reply to Saul Underwood, his fellow Chancellor.
It's a pity that Tang Xiu, like Caius, most likely doesn't know.
Then there would be no way to "trap" the two Baiyi, and it would be morally unacceptable - Zong Baiyi would be burdened with the trouble of attacking Pandora's colleagues, and even the Punisher Council behind him would not support him.
"Then keep following up!"
Zongchen said:
"Your progress is indeed faster than ours and more efficient than ours. It is indeed right to ask you to do this task."
Mozhi chuckled: "It's no problem, it's just..."
After thinking about it, Mo Zhi prepared the draft he had already prepared:
"I have obtained such important information. Can Zong Baiyi discuss with the superiors and give me the Guanglan Shield?"
"It's a reward in advance. You know, investigating the content of their cooperation must be dangerous. I'm taking such a big risk, should I take more care of it?"
In order to cooperate with his request, Mobi made a serious expression and told Zong Baiyi that he was not joking.
Zongchen was obviously in a good mood because the task had made progress. He turned to Mo Zhi and said:
"Just do your best!"
"As long as it can complete the task, I will personally give it to you."
This sentence is not much different from directly agreeing.
Unpredictably happy.
Although this light shield can only be defended once and consumes a lot of talisman resources, it is quite easy to use.
After all, being able to withstand a blow below the semi-spirit level is considered an "absolute" armor with some flaws.
Seeing that Zong Baiyi agreed, Mu Zhi happily reached into his arms and touched the pocket watch.
Then, he took out his notebook and pen, crossed out Caius's name on the top, and wrote "Saul Underwood" below.
Originally, people like Mu Zhi who considered themselves to be Buddhists always adhered to the motto of "I will not offend others unless they offend me", but they had to do something to themselves.
You can't just let others control you, right? That's not Buddhist, it's stupid!
So what if he is the leader of the Judgment Council? What if he is the chief judge? If someone wants to kill you, besides fighting back, Mo Zhi can't think of any other way.
The only thing I didn't expect was that the most dangerous enemies after traveling were not the natives of Rodinia, but my fellow countrymen.
Judging from the status gap, Mo Zhi knows that he will definitely not be able to deal with Saul Underwood in a short time, and he may be forced to save his life for a long time.
We can only protect ourselves while improving our strength as soon as possible.
It would take two or three years to face this fellow villager head-on.
After thinking about it, Mu Zhi confessed directly to Zong Baiyi:
"Trial of the Lord Chancellor of Parliament, Saul Underwood."
"Caius and Tang Xiu's mission to kill me originated from this person."
Zongchen was suddenly surprised, turned around quickly and asked:
"What did you say? Justice Underwood?"
"You even read it to the people above Caius."
"Of course, mind reading." Mo Zhi replied: "It's not difficult."
Zong Chen frowned and pondered for a long time before sighing:
"The Judgment Council, Justice Saul Underwood, the Eye of Justice."
"He is the current speaker of the Trial Council. Although we don't have much contact with the Trial Council, and I have never met the Justice himself, I can still hear about the Justice from my colleagues."
"Although the Eye of Justice and the Ax of Punishment are opposites, we have to admit that Saul Underwood is a highly respected justice."
"He is powerful, at least at the blue level; he upholds the motto of the Eye of Justice and is very fair in dealing with matters. He is the mainstay of the Judgment Council."
Damn, blue level or above? This is no longer the pinnacle of the semi-spiritual level, he may even be a high-level contractor! Unpredictably, he kept shouting secretly:
I still thought that I would be able to face this fellow countryman in two or three years? !
I'm thinking too much!
Not necessarily twenty or thirty years!
Zongchen didn't pay attention to the unpredictable expression and continued:
"Moreover, he played a very important role in stabilizing Pandora and is loved by all contractors. Even we who punish the Parliament think so."
"I didn't expect that Saul Underwood would secretly assassinate low-level punishers, and he would also send two of his most popular disciples."
"This is very inconsistent with his reputation."
Mo Cai said while carefully recording what Bai Yi said:
"Big men are always different in public and in private."
Zong Chen nodded, but then shook his head, as if he thought of something:
"There is another possibility!"
"Huh?" Mo Zhi asked.
Zong Chen was thoughtful and his voice was very low:
"Actually, I find it hard to believe that Justice Saul Underwood would do such a thing."
"You are not at the headquarters, so you don't know what a fair justice Saul Underwood is. Although the Trial Council is against us, as the white captain, I still have to admire him."
"He has lived for a hundred years and has never had any flaws in his life. He is called the most perfect contractor."
"It's just that I remember...about the middle of last month, the justice almost lost consciousness due to an episode of emotional obsession and went completely crazy."
"This incident has caused a shock in Pandora's headquarters. You have to know what a huge impact it will have on the entire continent if the first person in the four major councils goes completely crazy."
"At that time, the entire Pandora headquarters was unable to do anything. Even several masters and hermits at the top of the Wisdom Council and the Guardian Council took action to try to help the Chancellor stop the madness."
"It's a pity that these figures at the top of Pandora are still powerless in the end. Everyone thinks that the Justice will return to the arms of the Iron God."
"After all, madness is irreversible. Losing consciousness is no different from death."
"The result was unexpected. Saul Underwood suddenly regained consciousness and came back to life. This was beyond everyone's expectations."
When Mu Zhi heard this, he was stunned.
But my heart suddenly moved.
He asked tentatively: "Do you know the specific time?"
Zongchen showed a reminiscing look, thought for a long time, and said:
"Probably... the end of mid-August, that's about the time."
wipe!
Unpredictable screamed in his heart, it’s time to travel again!
August 18th, isn’t it the end of mid-August?
The venerable Saul Underwood has indeed gone crazy, and there is nothing wrong with returning to the arms of the Iron God!
What's wrong is that he was snatched away by the time traveler, and then he miraculously came back to life.
Now Saul Underwood is no longer the respected justice before, but a fellow countryman of mine.
That’s why he sent his men to kill fellow travelers!
