This shopkeeper looks quite clever, but he didn't expect that he is also a walnut when it comes to handling things. It's like someone sells wine and someone sells flowers, but who says you can't sell wine and flowers 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 assistant shopkeeper took the money from the counter and gave it to him as mediation fee for this time.

But Zhao Rang thinks about it, this person does have an advantage! A stupid person will think 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 be friends with him.

Either he is lustful, he is greedy for money, or he is addicted to alcohol. He has to have a little bit of it to make him look real.

Especially like 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 will not open his mouth. What is afraid is that he will not take anything forced on him.

The recipient has short hands. If you accept my money, you have to think carefully 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 going to let you send this fool away with 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!"

Seeing that he was sweating profusely, Zhao Rang didn't seem to be 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 you can 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'll 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 stood there stupidly.

Zhao Rang cursed a few more curse words, and then the knot in his chest was relieved a little.

After walking out for a long time, he turned back and said to Ximen Dazhuang:

"I'm going to bed. Don't call me even if the sky falls!"

Then he said to the deputy shopkeeper:

"Additional guards will be sent on duty. Starting from tomorrow, Tongbao Bank's Chagan Toluogai 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 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 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.

Zhao Rang felt dizzy and wanted to vomit when he got up from the bed. Perhaps the movement was too violent.

But everything in the stomach has been digested long ago, and there is nothing to vomit even if you want to. After retching a few times, I felt my stomach felt much better, so I took off all my clothes.

I glanced at the tub. Although there was still water, it was already cold. Zhao Rang tested the temperature with his hands, 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 can block the light, as time goes by, it becomes suffocating and breathless.

I went back and forth several times, making myself upset and about to cry. I wish I could hit my head against the wall and knock myself out.

When I closed my eyes, my mind was a mess.

Zhao Rang almost forgot why he came to the Western Regions, and why he came to check Gan Toluo Gai...

Remembering that Yuan Kexin lived next door, Zhao Rang's senses recovered a little. He remembered that he came to the Western Region because he promised her brother Yuan Mingkong to come and visit. I came to Chagan Tuoluogai because of the message left by Yuan Mingkong, so I came to join 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 radiated out with Zhao Rang himself as the center. As long as it's something he wants to do, something will definitely go wrong. The person you were looking for was definitely nowhere to be found.

There seems to be 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. Could it be 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 that when he was a child, he and Ximen Dazhuang did a lot of things to insult the gods and sages.

Climbing over the wall and peeing in the temple is just a small matter. Ximen Dazhuang once said that the pages of a book full of truths feel different and comfortable when you wipe your buttocks. This is an amazing move!

After thinking about the fun scenes from the past, 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 daydreaming!

In the dream, he was alone, walking in a dark box. There were no friends around and no knife in his hand.

No one knows how long this alley is, but there are only 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.
