Chapter 8 There are bad guys in the city lord's mansion~
Mr. Zhao's fake smile froze on his face.

No matter how outrageous he was, he would never have thought that Xue Bei would do this to him.

Don't you, Commissioner Xue, have any emotional intelligence and manners?
When I came up, I asked others if they could see the body of their father!

"I'm not joking." Xue Bei stared at Mr. Zhao with a serious and serious face.

When Mr. Zhao reported it to the Shrek monitoring team, he just said that the Lord Zhao was killed by the evil soul master, but Xue Bei still hoped that it would be better to open the coffin for an autopsy.

Xue Bei was able to deduce the strength and moves of the evil soul master from the wound of the deceased, so as to intentionally guard against the methods of that evil soul master.

"The remains of our ancestors have just been buried."

Mr. Zhao's face was stiff and he quickly changed the subject: "Commissioner Xue should come in first."

Xue Bei didn't linger on this topic for long, and followed Mr. Zhao into the cabin.

Judging by Mr. Zhao's reaction, it is estimated that Xue Bei will not be given a chance for an autopsy.

Even if Xue Bei was not a member of the Shrek Monitoring Team, he might have been kicked out by Mr. Zhao.

"Please, Commissioner Xue."

Mr. Zhao's cabin has a luxurious interior, Xue Bei walked in and looked around curiously.

Although Xue Bei has entered the middle class of Douluo Continent through his own efforts, compared with hereditary nobles like Mr. Zhao, he still belongs to the category of country bumpkin.

The cabin has wide stained glass windows, black velvet curtains on both sides are soft and luxurious, there are two large leather chairs and a large mahogany writing desk.

"Commissioner Xue, would you like some wine?" Mr. Zhao asked.

Before Xue Bei refused, Mr. Zhao had already asked his servants to make arrangements.

A waiter in a thick snow-white tuxedo pushed a brass trolley into the cabin, and on a tray were two silver goblets and a crystal decanter.

"Soul master?"

Xue Bei frowned.

He is very sensitive to the feeling of soul power, so when the waiter came in, Xue Bei discovered that the servant pouring the wine was actually a soul master!
Although the number of soul masters has increased a lot compared to ten thousand years ago, there are still not many soul masters in the entire Douluo Continent.

Soul masters are born with the ability to cultivate soul power. Compared with ordinary people who have nothing but no soul power, they are born with a higher platform.

Would this kind of soul master be willing to give to the current people?

Well, the master is still a noble from a noble family, so it is normal for a low-level soul master to serve as a subordinate to a high-level soul master.

Otherwise, Jiang Nannan would not have almost sold herself to the Xuanming family.

Xue Bei and Mr. Zhao sat in two leather chairs, and the waiter put the tray in the brass cart on the low table between them, and then took out a dagger with a shiny ivory handle.

"Commissioner Xue, Zhao Si is my personal attendant, and naturally he is also a first-ring soul master." Mr. Zhao said calmly.

The bartender was originally called Zhao Si... a very happy name.

Xue Bei thought to himself.

Zhao Si scraped off the wax seal, turned his wrist lightly, inserted the dagger into the cork, and pulled it out with a bang, the liquid slowly dripped into the silver cup.

"Commissioner Xue, please." Mr. Zhao said with a smile.

"Please." Xue Bei politely picked up the silver goblet.

Douluo mainlanders naturally like to talk at the wine table. Xue Bei only took a few sips before returning to the issue of the evil soul master.

But this time Mr. Zhao also answered every question and introduced a lot of situations.

"May I ask Mr. Zhao to explain the situation at that time again?" Xue Bei asked.

Mr. Zhao nodded, "I was on the cruise ship at the time, and I heard from my father's subordinates that my father was only handling official business in the city lord's mansion, and then he was attacked and killed by the evil soul master who sneaked in."

"Oh."

Xue Bei nodded.

Handling business?

I remember that the news I heard in the city was clearly that City Lord Zhao was having a party.

Mr. Zhao continued: "Hearing father's screams, they went to his room to check, and when they entered the room and found father's body, the evil spirit master had already left."

"How much time has passed?"

"Huh?" Young Master Zhao asked in confusion.

"I mean, how long has it been since City Lord Zhao was killed and the body was found?" Xue Bei asked.

"Yeah..." Mr. Zhao fell into silence, and then he looked at Zhao Si.

"." Xue Bei.

No,

As the son of the deceased, have you not paid attention to your father?
Want Zhao Si to answer?

Can he answer it?

"Less than 3 minutes."

Zhao Si actually answered it.

"." Xue Bei.

Who is the son of City Lord Zhao?

Xue Bei pointed to the direction of Wushan City. From this perspective, it was bright and bright,
"Actually, I came here yesterday."

Mr. Zhao took a sip from his wine glass and continued to listen to Xue Bei's narration.

"I've also seen the City Lord's Mansion in Wushan City. It's really well built. Unlike the government offices in some cities, in order to highlight the cleanliness of the officials, they deliberately didn't repair the government buildings."

"Ah."

"I can even see that the City Lord's Mansion was once a military fortress."

"Military fortress?" Mr. Zhao has lived here for so long, and he still doesn't know that his own city lord's mansion has such a military function.

"As early as ten thousand years ago, Wushan City was built by the Barak Kingdom as a transportation hub on the Barak River. When the Wuhun Empire was destroyed, the original Wushan City was burned. Until the second Tiandou civil war, it Only then was it clearly given the meaning of the military frontier.”

Xue Bei talked a lot and knew the history of this city very well.

"And then?" Mr. Zhao asked, he was a little drunk.

Xue Bei picked up the wine glass but didn't drink it, but shook it slightly, rippling the wine,

"In the following time, Wushan City became the front line of the Heavenly Soul Empire and the Dou Ling Empire, and the thousand-year struggle between the two countries centered on the Barak River.

As a border city, Wushan City is a group of fortresses. Until the past few hundred years, the Heavenly Soul Empire firmly controlled both sides of the Barak River. Because of the need to develop land, the fortress group of Wushan City was gradually dismantled. "

"Thanks to Mr. Xue from Shrek Academy for tutoring me a history lesson."

Mr. Zhao was already a little impatient,

"so what?"

"The City Lord's Mansion is a remnant of the fortress group. The facilities and terrain inside have been designed. Only a few people can guard a large area.

Is it possible for an outsider to complete the assassination and escape in 3 minutes? "

Outsiders are of course impossible.

How can outsiders who are not familiar with the terrain of the City Lord's Mansion complete the assassination and escape in 3 minutes?
What's more, City Lord Zhao is still a strong soul emperor.

Kill a soul emperor, and escape without a trace within 3 minutes... The soul emperor of the agility attack type is good at concealing breath.

"You mean that evil soul master is from inside the City Lord's Mansion?"

Mr. Zhao slapped the table and stood up, angrily said to Zhao Si: "Go and check, if you find someone, hand him over to Commissioner Xue!"

If outsiders don't understand the internal structure of the City Lord's Mansion, then naturally only the insiders will.

"Master Zhao, don't worry about it?"

Xue Bei stopped the drunk Mr. Zhao, hoping that he would not be so impulsive.

"Don't worry, Commissioner Xue, I will definitely deal with this matter."

Mr. Zhao announced again that he would thoroughly investigate the inner ghost, and then asked Zhao Si to send Xue Bei out.

"Commissioner Xue, please."

Zhao Si wanted to help Xue Bei get off the boat, but Xue Bei politely refused.

At this time, there was no trace of alcohol on Xue Bei's face, and he used his soul power to dispel the alcohol.

"Mr. Zhao Si, that evil soul master...do you think he is an inner ghost?"

Zhao Si smiled gently, "Isn't it Commissioner Xue that you said there is an inner ghost?"

"Although the internal structure of the City Lord's Mansion is complicated, you can still know the route after spending time investigating."

Xue Bei looked at Zhao Si with a smile, "Why did Mr. Zhao immediately confirm that there was a mole? Did he even want to catch the person urgently?"
