It has been half a day since the first meeting of Zhang Heng and Daiquius, and the two also took a big circle in the city of Rome, from the Binota mine to the southeastern city, and then to Claus’s apartment. nonstop.

With the deepening of the investigation, the truth of the mine shutdown is gradually surfaced.

The most critical of these is, of course, the man with the red birthmark on his face-Amidio. As an intermediary, he met Cobb and eventually contributed to the whole thing. Finding him means finding the master messenger behind him.

Now Zhang Heng and Dekius are standing under Amidio ’s apartment.

The sun is almost setting.

Amidio’s residence is much more remote than Claus’s. Although it is not as chaotic as in the southeast city, it is also in the slum area. Most of the people who live here are short-term tenants. The rent is paid once a week. Being driven away, Amidio, as a lobbyist at Elder’s Council, although not as famous as Claus, did not fall to this point.

With his income, he can afford a better residence. The only reason he chose to live here is to keep a low profile.

Obviously, he also knows that what he usually does is invisible, and wants to be as unobtrusive as possible, and Zhang Heng estimates that he is not a resident here, and should change places after a while.

Daiquius didn’t like the atmosphere on the street very much, and at the same time, his stomach also made a gu gu gu call, reminding him that it was time to eat. At this time in the past, he should have finished work, returned to his home, and sat at the table Beside, waiting for the servant to bring the steaming food up.

However, he knew that it was the critical time for the investigation, and it was no longer a matter of losing his job. It was related to the future of his family. He did not complain about anything. He just asked Zhang Heng on the side, “We are Shouldn’t we call some guards? That guy is unlikely to cooperate with us. “

With Krauss’s lesson in mind, Daiquius already understood that it was not easy to let these lobbyists cooperate honestly, especially to let the other party betray the employer behind him.

“To tell you the truth, I haven’t been a consultant for a long time, and I haven’t figured out how to dispatch guards, but it doesn’t matter, I have you by your side, you are like my Watson.” Zhang Heng said.

“What am I like you?” Daiquius didn’t understand.

“Watson … don’t worry about it, I just talk casually.” Zhang Heng said, he stood downstairs, looked up at the approximate location of Amidio’s room, the house here is obviously facing the poor Even on the second floor, there is no balcony, only a small window, closed tightly, and the view inside is not visible, and the walls are potholes, which has obviously not been maintained for a long time.

Zhang Heng pats Daiquis shoulder, “Come on, let us go upstairs to meet this Mr. Amidio.”

“Oh.” Daiquius tried to recall again, confirming that he had never heard of such a person as Watson. Then he took steps and followed Zhang Heng up the stairs.

2 people walked through some dark corridors and came to Amidio’s house.

Dekius reached out and knocked on the door, and according to Zhang Heng’s instruction, opened the mouth and said, “We are the landlord and come to collect the rent.”

As a result, there was no movement in Amidio ’s room, but the room next door opened the door first, and a man came out from the inside and was surprised, “I collected the rent again, was n’t it collected 2 days ago?”

Daiquius was looking at Zhang Heng with an embarrassed expression. The latter did not change his face, “The rent has risen, now it is to pay.”

“But it just went up last month.” The man’s face was unbelievable. “How many days has it passed?”

The man ’s voice is not small, letting people in other rooms also come out one by one. The rent increase is a matter of concern to everyone. Zhang Heng knows that he ca n’t hide it. In addition, Amidio ’s house is a bit too quiet. Nothing has happened so far, so he winks at Dekius on the side and makes the latter step aside, then kicks on the door.

“Gosh, don’t you think it’s not that you haven’t paid the rent once, or the price has risen, and you …” The man in the next room suddenly stopped here, stared wide-eyed.

The sight in front of him made him sucked in a cold breath, and saw a man with a shaved body lying motionless on a round table, his clothes all covered with blood, still ticking to the floor.

Seeing this scene, everyone unconsciously stepped back a few steps, only Zhang Heng expression remained unchanged, but moved forward and walked into the house.

In a similar scene, he had not seen much when he was an assistant to Holmes. He hadn’t felt anything for a long time. Zhang Heng walked directly to the round table, reached for a touch under the man’s nose, and confirmed that the other person had no breathing. Then he turned the body over, first glanced at the dagger stuck in his chest, then looked up and saw the red birthmark on the body’s face.

“Hah, it seems that this is what we are looking for.” Zhang Heng said to Daiji Usi.

“He … he he is he dead?” Dekius turned pale.

“Yes, and the time of death should be just a few minutes ago,” Zhang Heng looked at the blood stains, and there were few solidified parts. “It seems that someone came before us to visit the object we were looking for. We were on the stairs before. Maybe he passed by the murderer. “

“Ah?” Dekius tried hard to recall the people he met on the stairs, but could not remember anything. Now his brain was blank. The only thought was that he was really involved in something big.

But what he couldn’t figure out was that he was just a nobody who was responsible for casting bronze statues for the emperor. Why would anyone hit his head on his head and killed himself.

At that moment the man in the next room finally woke up and yelled, “There was a murder, we should find the patrol!”

“Good idea, then trouble you.” Zhang Heng nodded and said, and then said to other people, “I am an advisor to the Emperor Your Majesty. To prevent the murderer from staying upstairs, I suggest that you can go back. In his own room, wait for the patrol to come and investigate. “

Everyone hearing this dispersed, leaving only Dekius to stay at the door.

Zhang Heng waved at him, “What are you doing, stunned, come in, we don’t have much time, the patrol should come over soon.”

“What time is running out?” Dekius doubted. “Amidio is dead. What else can we ask?”

“People like Amidio have been doing things in the dark, they have too many secrets, and they will surely guard against someone assassinating them. The murderer was clearly unprepared this time. I checked the body and it was a death, apart from this There are no other scars, which means that the murderer should have no time to find and torture Amidio. If you are lucky, you wo n’t need Amidio to speak. We can also know what we want to know. “
