Half a day has passed since Zhang Heng and dejius met for the first time. They also took a big walk in the city of Rome, from the binota mine to the southeast city, and then to Klaus' apartment.
With the deepening of the investigation, the truth of the stoppage is gradually emerging.
Of course, the most important one is the man with a red birthmark on his face, armidio. As a middleman, he made an appointment with Cobb, and eventually contributed to the whole thing. Finding him means finding the messenger behind him.
Now Zhang Heng and dejius are standing at the bottom of armidio's apartment.
The sun is about to set.
Amidio's residence is much more remote than Klaus's. although it is not as chaotic as the southeast city, it also belongs to the slum. Most of the short-term tenants will live here. If the rent is paid once a week, those who can't pay will be driven away. Although amidio, as a lobbyist of the Senate, is not as famous as Klaus, he will not be reduced to such a situation.
He can afford a better house with his income. The only reason why he chose to live here is to keep a low profile.
Obviously, he also knows that what he usually does can't be seen, and he wants to be as unobtrusive as possible. Moreover, Zhang Heng estimates that he doesn't live here often, so he should change places at intervals.
Dekius didn't like the atmosphere of the street very much. At the same time, his stomach made a cooing sound to remind him that it was time for dinner. He should have finished his work at this time in the past. He went home and sat at the table, waiting for the servant to bring up the steaming food.
However, he knew that it was the key time for the investigation, and it was no longer a matter of losing his job or not. It was about the future of his family, but he didn't complain. He just asked Zhang Heng, who was worried, "should we call some guards? That guy is unlikely to cooperate with us
Having learned from Klaus' experience, dejius has realized that it is not easy for these lobbyists to cooperate honestly, especially for them to sell their employers.
"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 or anything like that, but it doesn't matter. I have you by my side, and you are like my Watson." Zhang Hengdao.
"What do I look like to you?" Dekius didn't understand.
"Watson Don't worry about it. I'm just talking about it. " Zhang Hengdao, standing downstairs, raised his neck to see the approximate location of armidio's room. The house here is obviously facing the poor. Even if there is no balcony on the second floor, there is only a small window, which is closed tightly. You can't see the scene inside. Moreover, the wall is potholes, which obviously hasn't been maintained for a long time.
Zhang Heng patted dejius on the shoulder. "Come on, let's go upstairs and meet Mr. armidio."
"Oh, oh." Daijiwusi tried to recall again, and confirmed that she had never heard of such a person as Watson. Then daijiwusi followed Zhang Heng up the stairs.
They went through the dark hallway to the outside of armidio's house.
Daijiwusi reached out and knocked on the door. According to Zhang Heng's instruction, she said, "we are the landlord's people. We come to collect the rent."
As a result, there was no movement in armidio's room. The room next to him opened the door first. A man came out of it and said in surprise, "I've collected the rent again. Didn't I collect it two days ago?"
Daijiwusi smell speech a face embarrassed look to Zhang Heng, the latter face does not change color way, "rent price, now is make up."
"But it just went up last month." The man's face is unbelievable, "how many days has this passed?"
The man's voice is not small, so that people in other rooms also probe out. The rent increase is a matter of concern to everyone. Zhang Heng knows that he can't hide it. In addition, amidio's room is a little too quiet, and there is no movement until now. So he winks at dejius on one side, and asks the latter to step aside, and then kicks him On the door.
"Oh, my God, I don't think so. I haven't paid the rent once, but the price has gone up. You also..." The man in the next room suddenly stopped and widened his eyes.
The scene in front of him let him take a breath. He saw a thin man lying motionless on a round table. His clothes were bloodstained and dripping to the floor.
Seeing this scene, everyone subconsciously stepped back a few steps, only Zhang Heng's face remained unchanged, but he stepped forward and walked into the room.
Zhang Heng went directly to the round table, put his hand under the man's nose and felt it to make sure that the other side had no breath. Then he turned the body over. First he looked at the dagger he had inserted in his chest, and then he looked up and saw the body Red birthmark on the face.
"Ha, it seems that this is the right Lord we are looking for." Zhang Heng told daijiwusi.
"He Is he dead? " Dekius turned pale."Yes, and the time of death should have been just a few minutes ago," Zhang Heng looked at the bloodstain, and there was hardly any solidified part. "It seems that someone rushed in front of us to visit the object we were looking for. Before, we might have passed the murderer on the stairs."
"Ah?" Dejius tried to think about the people he met on the stairs, but he couldn't remember anything. Now his brain was blank, and his only thought was that he was really involved in something big.
But what he couldn't figure out was that he was just a little man who was responsible for casting bronze statues for the emperor. Why did someone come up with the idea that he would die.
Then the man in the next room finally woke up and yelled, "there's a homicide. We should go and get the patrol!"
"Good idea. I'll trouble you." Zhang Heng nodded and then said to other humanitarians, "I'm the advisor of the emperor. In order to prevent the murderer from staying upstairs, I suggest you go back to your room and wait for the patrol team to check."
Hearing this, the crowd dispersed, leaving dejius standing at the door.
Zhang hengchong waved to him, "what are you doing? Come in. We don't have much time. The patrol should come soon."
"What time is not much?" Daichius wondered, "amidio is dead. What else can we ask?"
"People like armidio have been working in the dark and have mastered too many secrets. They are sure to be prepared for someone to assassinate him. The murderer was obviously unprepared this time. I checked the body and found that he was killed with a knife. Besides, there are no other scars. This shows that the murderer should not have time to find and torture armidio. If he is lucky, we don't need armidio to speak And know what we want to know. "
