Chapter 547
Xiao Zhan immediately asked:
"More than 180 years ago, in Fengshan City, there was a family named Mo who opened a restaurant. They were usually philanthropic, but later they were murdered for money."
Jia Shengqiang's eyes flashed:
"This is just an ordinary case, right? Why did you come here to investigate this matter?"
Mu Wanqing said calmly:
"The person named Mo, his name is Mo Zhongsheng, is a relative of a friend of mine. Knowing that I was going to pass through Fengshan City, he specifically asked me to help check the files from that year. He always felt that Mo Zhongsheng's death was not just It’s so easy to seek wealth and kill people.”
After hearing Mu Wanqing's words, Jia Shengqiang's eyes swept over the faces of Xiao Zhan and others, and then he slowly said:
"When I first came to Fengshan City as the city lord, I read a lot of files. I have also read the Mo Zhongsheng case you mentioned."
"The perpetrators were indeed several people that Mo Zhongsheng often helped. After they were caught by the City Lord's Mansion, they all confessed to their crimes and gave complete details. It can be determined that they were seeking money and killing people. There was no such thing. Other involvements.”
Saying that, Jia Shengqiang smiled and said:
"Miss Mu, you should also know that recently, all the cities have been strengthening their defenses to prepare for the attack of Moyun World. I still have a lot of official business to do, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, Jia Shengqiang stood up directly, obviously going to see the guests off directly.
Xiao Zhan suddenly asked:
"Is the restaurant that Mo Zhongsheng opened at the beginning still there now?"
Jia Shengqiang nodded and said impatiently: "The restaurant is still there, in Xicheng District. It is now called Juyuan Restaurant."
After saying that, Jia Shengqiang left the tea room directly.
A guard cupped his fists directly at Mu Wanqing and the others and said:
"Guys, please."
Mu Wanqing looked at Xiao Zhan, who nodded and left the city lord's mansion with a few people.
Outside the city lord's mansion.
Xiao Zhan looked at Mu Wanqing, Ye Wei, Mo Hongmei, and Deng Xiaozhuang and Liu Yongjun who were walking over from not far away.
Deng Xiaozhuang lowered his voice and said:
"Brother, not long after you entered the City Lord's Mansion, dozens of people from the City Lord's Mansion went to Juyuan Restaurant, pretending to be ordinary drinkers and drinking there."
Liu Yongjun spat, "Brother, I think there must be something fishy in the City Lord's Mansion."
Xiao Zhan frowned and thought for a moment, then looked at Ye Wei and said:
"Weiwei, you guys find a safe place to hide first. I still have to go to the archives. I'll be back to meet you soon."
Ye Wei nodded, "Then be careful."
Xiao Zhan said "hmm", then looked at Deng Xiaozhuang and said:
"Watch Miss Mo, don't let her run away. If anything happens to her, Mo Yun World will hunt us down for the rest of our lives."
Deng Xiaozhuang nodded seriously: "Brother, don't worry, I know what's appropriate."
After a few people left, Xiao Zhan found a deserted corner, jumped directly over the courtyard wall, and landed in a garden in the city lord's palace.
At this time, the sky had darkened. Xiao Zhan waited in the garden for a while until it was completely dark, then he flashed quickly in the darkness and rushed out in the direction of the case library.
The case library is located in an independent courtyard southwest of the city lord's palace.
The small courtyard is surrounded by a wall more than ten feet high. In four directions, there are four vermilion towers one hundred meters high.
There are figures constantly moving around on these four towers, and the movements in the entire area can be monitored at any time.
Xiao Zhan walked forward in the darkness and approached the only gate of the courtyard of the case library.
The courtyard door was closed and guarded by two guards.
Xiao Zhan frowned.
Today, Jia Shengqiang already knew that they wanted to enter the case file library to check the files. If it was for safety reasons, extra manpower should be sent to guard the case file library.
But at this time, there were still only two guards.
Xiao Zhan was thinking that Jia Shengqiang didn't take this seriously.
Or did you guess that he would break into the case library and ambush the master in the case library?
But no matter what, Xiao Zhan was not timid.
Because the strongest person in the City Lord's Mansion is Jia Shengqiang, who is at the sixth level of the Star Glory Realm.
This strength is not enough to keep Xiao Zhan.
Without any hesitation, Xiao Zhan jumped up and climbed over the wall more than ten feet high.
Because of his speed and the darkness of the night, people on the towers on all sides only saw a blurry shadow flashing past, but they were not sure whether it was a person.
Xiao Zhan, on the other hand, had quietly landed in the courtyard of the archives.
In the courtyard, there is a row of rooms.
Xiao Zhan came to the door, reached out and grabbed the door lock. After shattering the door lock, he entered the case library directly.
A whole row of rooms has been opened up, and there are rows of shelves densely packed with countless materials stacked on the shelves.
Xiao Zhan searched for a long time before he found the files that recorded the cases more than 180 years ago.
After flipping through it for a while, Xiao Zhan suddenly pulled out a booklet.
What is recorded in the booklet is exactly Mo Zhongsheng's original case.
After reading it, Xiao Zhan suddenly frowned.
First of all, there are many places drawn in red pen on this booklet, and judging from the color of the pen and ink, it is obvious that it has been read repeatedly at different times.
Xiao Zhan wrote down all the details, but couldn't find any clues for a while.
Putting the files back in their original places, Xiao Zhan left the archives directly. After leaving the city lord's mansion, he went to meet Ye Wei and others.
Several people checked into an inn, only two blocks away from the Juyuan Restaurant.
City Lord's Mansion.
After listening to the report of his subordinates, Jia Shengqiang slowly said:
"Over the past many years, I have investigated that case dozens of times. I asked the person named Xiao to read the files. Maybe I can find some clues. Don't worry about it for now, but send someone to keep an eye on them secretly. .”
the next day.
At dawn, Xiao Zhan brought Deng Xiaozhuang, Liu Yongjun, Ye Wei, Mo Hongmei and Mu Wanqing to Juyuan Restaurant.
Mo Hongmei's mood was very wrong. .c
As soon as she entered the restaurant, her eyes were red.
Although he has never met his grandparents, he has heard about his grandparents from Mo Rusheng's mouth.
Mo Hongmei couldn't help but blush when she thought about how her grandparents had done good deeds throughout their lives, but ended up like that.
Even her biological mother Ruan Qingxia didn't know many things about Mo Rusheng, but she, Mo Hongmei, knew.
Therefore, he knew how much hatred his father held in his heart.
He knew how much trouble his father had.
"Hello, gentlemen!"
The waiter came up to him with a smile and led Xiao Zhan and others upstairs.
Although it is still early in the morning, there are already many people coming to the restaurant for morning drinks.
Xiao Zhan and others went up to the third floor before sitting down at the table by the window.
The waiter smiled and asked:
"Guys, what do you want?"
Xiao Zhan said casually:
"Here are six jars of your best wine, and some side dishes to go with the wine."
"Okay!" The waiter responded with a smile, then turned and walked downstairs.
"I'm going to make a convenience," Xiao Zhan said, then stood up and walked upstairs.
There is a layout plan of the restaurant in the file.
Over a hundred years later, the restaurant was repainted, but the layout remained unchanged.
Xiao Zhan went up to the top floor, only to find two men blocking the stairs.
"Stop! It's forbidden to come near here!"
Xiao Zhan frowned, and the next moment he rushed forward, knocked the two of them unconscious, and stood at the door of a room.
According to the records, this room was the room where Mo Zhongsheng once lived.
Mo Zhongsheng and his wife were also killed in this room.
Xiao Zhan could detect that someone was talking quietly in the room.
Xiao Zhan thought for a moment and opened the door directly.
In the room, two middle-aged men stood up instantly and looked at Xiao Zhan at the same time.
"Who are you!?"
The slightly plump middle-aged man looked at Xiao Zhan coldly and asked.
Another middle-aged man, tall and thin, drew his long sword directly as his aura surged.
Xiao Zhan immediately noticed the strength of the two of them. The slightly fatter one was at the first level of Star Glory Realm, and the tall and thin middle-aged man was at the second level of Star Glory Realm.
Xiao Zhan walked directly in front of the two of them, and the two middle-aged men were shocked when his aura showed even a little bit.
"Don't panic, I'm just here to investigate some things."
Xiao Zhan got straight to the point:
"I am a member of the Fengyong Army, and I was ordered to investigate the cause of death of the restaurant founder Mo Zhongsheng more than 180 years ago."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Xiao Zhan was not here for them.
Xiao Zhan said again: "I don't care what you are planning, just tell me what you know."
The slightly plump middle-aged man clasped his fists and said respectfully:
"Sir, I have only taken over this restaurant for more than ten years, and I know nothing about what happened more than 180 years ago. This is the truth."
Xiao Zhan looked at the tall, thin middle-aged man again.
The middle-aged man also raised his hand and said:
"This is my first time coming to Fengshan City, and I don't even know what you are talking about."
Xiao Zhan nodded, not expecting the two of them to know anything.
Xiao Zhan's figure flashed, and his fingers tapped on the two of them, directly sealing the power of their entire bodies.
Then Xiao Zhan began to check in the room.
"Is there any secret room or secret passage in this room?"
The slightly plump middle-aged man shook his head, "No, it's just such a big place."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Xiao Zhan walking towards a wall.
The walls were intact, not even a crack.
Just as Xiao Zhan was about to turn around, Xiao Wu's voice sounded in Xiao Zhan's mind:
"Brother, what are you looking for?"
Xiao Zhan replied:
"I'm checking if there is a secret room in this room."
Xiao Wu immediately replied:
"It's just behind this wall."
Xiao Zhan immediately stopped and punched out, causing the wall in front of him to collapse.
Dust spurted out instantly.
When the dust cleared, a secret room of only a dozen square meters appeared in front of Xiao Zhan.
The two middle-aged men were also stunned. Just as they were about to step forward, they saw Xiao Zhan giving them both a cold look.
The two immediately stopped and then turned their backs.
Xiao Zhan walked directly into the secret room.
There was a thick layer of dust on the floor of the secret room. It was obvious that no one had entered for many years.
There is no record of this secret room in the files.
And this secret room is very concealed.
There is no clue at all from the outside. If Xiao Wu hadn't reminded him, Xiao Zhan wouldn't have discovered this secret room.
In the secret room, there is a bookshelf, and there are some wooden boxes on the bookshelf.
Xiao Zhan opened it and saw some secret letters inside, which were letters exchanged between Mo Zhongsheng and other people hidden in the Tianlan world.
One of them was a letter informing Mo Zhongsheng to go to a certain place and prepare to escort an important item back to the world of Mo Yun.
Come to think of it, it was the time when the previous Realm Master of Mo Yun World came and wanted people to send the world core back to Mo Yun World.
Xiao Zhan looked around in the secret room again, and his eyes suddenly fixed on the dusty table.
There is a secret letter on the table. The secret letter is covered by dust. If you don't look carefully, you won't be able to find the secret letter.
The existence of faith.
Xiao Zhan reached out and picked up the secret letter. With a flick of his wrist, the dust on it fell off, revealing the lines of writing on it.
The content of the letter is as follows:
"I already know about the mission of escorting the treasure. I will set off for the target location in three days."
"Also: I noticed that Mr. Zhao is behaving strangely, and something may have happened. Please be careful if you come into contact with him."
The content of the secret letter only contained these two sentences.
Xiao Zhan was confused after reading it.
But the next moment, Xiao Zhan walked back to the bookshelf and pulled out a dozen letters.
From these letters, Xiao Zhan discovered that Mo Zhongsheng had a very good relationship with the man named Zhao Si, and the two of them communicated most frequently.
As for whether Mo Zhongsheng took other people's reminders seriously and was wary of Zhao Si, Xiao Zhan didn't know for the time being.
From the fragments of these letters, Xiao Zhan also obtained some information about Zhao Si.
Zhao Si is about the same age as Mo Zhongsheng. They were good friends when they were still in Moyun World.
After being sent to Tianlan World as undercover agents, the two cooperated with each other and obtained a lot of information.
Mo Zhongsheng opened a restaurant, while Zhao Si infiltrated the City Lord's Mansion and became a captain of the City Lord's Mansion.
