Chapter 406 A Sign?
After returning to the guild, we went straight to Harold's office.
After closing the door, the three of us sat facing each other for a long time without saying a word.
After waiting for a while, I said: "Well, is there anything that bothers you? Come and talk to me. Don't look at me like this. I am very gentle and I am fully qualified to play the role of a close brother."
Yura rolled his eyes and muttered: "Really, you are saying something I don't understand again."
Harold sighed, looking a little weak, and said: "Xiao Yi, after you go out, you must not mention what happened today."
"Uh, okay," I responded, "But what happened? Why do you look like you've just recovered from a serious illness? Why are you so listless?"
He was still frowning, as if he hadn't decided yet whether to tell what was buried in his heart.
At this time, Yula spoke: "Xiao Yi, why don't you go back first? There are some things that will be very troublesome once you know them."
I spread my hands, with a completely confused expression on my face, and said in my heart: Damn it, why are these two so startled? What on earth is going on!
After a while, Harold raised his head, his brows spread, but the expression on his face was still solemn. He said in a deep voice: "Yura, there is no need to hide it from Xiao Yi, he already knows the cause of this matter, and "
At this point, he suddenly stopped, paused, shook his head and said, "It's nothing. And, I think, if you know about this, it may not be a bad thing."
What he said next was obviously meant for me.
Yura looked at me in surprise for a while, then said: "Xiaoyi, do you already know about that?"
"What on earth is going on?" I said with a depressed expression, "If you continue to be careless, believe it or not, I will bite you!"
"It's about the coup."
After hearing this, I took a breath and said with a nonchalant tone: "So that's what happened. I've known about it for a long time. So, Clark's death is directly related to the coup." chant?"
Yura didn't speak or express anything. Harold nodded slightly. He frowned, with a lingering solemnity between his brows.
A little, he said: "Do you know why Yura pointed at his pants before?"
I shook my head: "I don't know."
Harold said: "Because there is a rip in the trousers."
"I'll go." I turned to Yura and exclaimed, "It's amazing, I can even find the holes in my pants."
With that said, I turned to Harold and asked: "But what's the use even if a hole is found? Is it to prove his frugal style? Or is his behavior damaging to the appearance of Airei City?"
"Can't you be normal!" Yura suddenly accused me seriously: "You are talking about business now!"
"No." I defended, "I really want to be normal, but this is not normal."
"What's wrong?" Yura asked, raising his eyebrows.
"You think about it?" I pretended to be serious and analyzed: "The coup is so sacred and great, ah, what an insidious and cunning act. It is full of layers of conspiracies and murderous intentions, no matter how you look at it, He's so tall, but he has a hole in his pants, no matter how much he leans up, he can't get close to him!"
"Of course it does matter," Yura said disdainfully, "It's just that you're a layman and can't tell!"
"Okay, stop arguing." Harold interrupted us helplessly. Then, he turned to me and said, "Xiao Yi, you may not know that the holes in Clark's pants are not ordinary holes."
I raised my eyebrows and thought to myself: "Hey, there's a mystery behind this. Could it be that this is a very artistic hole? But it still can't compete with the coup."
At this time, Harold said something that suddenly made me realize: "The location of the hole is actually a hidden pocket."
"It turns out to be a hidden pocket." I understood and couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder I can't see it! However, even if another person looks at this thing, he still can't see anything strange, to borrow Yura's phrase As for a layman, he really can’t tell much about it.”
"How about it?" Yula hugged him and said, "Now you will admit that you are an amateur~"
I smiled slightly and didn't answer.
Harold continued: "It's normal if you can't tell. This is a method only used by those who have access to confidential information."
Haha, there is a lingering smell surrounding these words - you are too low to understand our high-minded behavior.
I laughed dryly, and three black lines and a tic-tac-shaped anger icon were plastered on my forehead.
Harold continued: "Since the hidden pocket of Clark's pants has been opened, it is enough to show that he must have been carrying confidential documents before, and it can only be called confidential if it is related to the environment of the entire Airei City. and safety.”
He paused, thought for a while, and said: "Clark was promoted by the second young master. He is the second young master's confidant. This is known to everyone in the entire Ai Rui City. Although I often turn a blind eye to his actions. He closed his eyes, but he also knew that many of the plans were given to him by the Second Young Master, in order to consolidate the Second Young Master's position. Presumably, this time, he must have received the instructions given to him by the Second Young Master. But unfortunately, in the process of executing it, he was assassinated."
"In other words, it is certain that his death is related to the coup in Airui City?"
Harold nodded.
Yura said at this time: "It's just that we still don't know who killed Clark."
"Then let's think about it, how many people are capable of competing with the second young master for position?" I thought while saying: "The eldest young master is one, and then there is Rodney. It seems that they are the only two who are possible."
Harold suddenly shook his head and said: "Not necessarily. There has been no war in Zephyr Continent for too long. The nobles and wealthy businessmen in some towns are already ready to make moves. You also know that the desires of the human race are endless. Who would have no ambition? In addition, in recent years, the lack of level combat power among the top people in Airui City has directly caused some powerful nobles to have second thoughts. Therefore, the real contenders for the coup in Airui City may not only be the three city lords. A son."
"Well" I fell into deep thought. Harold was right. Since it is a change of the highest authority, it must involve a wide range and even affect the entire Airui City. By then, all forces will want a share of the pie. Chaos is not far away.
At that time, if you want to protect my people, you must further strengthen your own strength. Only being strong enough to scare them away is what I want!
