Chapter 127 - Two Monk s (2)
After I said this sentence, I intentionally took out Hundred Bird's name card. Since I have already impersonated this name once, I didn't mind impersonating it a second time.
That boy looked at me without saying anything, but it was obvious that he didn't resist anymore, so I continued, "You have set up so many traps here, I'm afraid you know that someone is trying to kill you, I don't think you really have any ill intentions towards us, you are just protecting yourself, right, if you can tell us what you know, maybe we will help you, I think you should know, by yourself, there is nothing you can do!"
At this moment, I relaxed my vigilance and said to him, "I think this is your home. Your family members unfortunately died in the flames, we originally thought that everyone in this village had died, but we didn't expect there to be survivors, this is really great, you should know that you are our hope, don't you want to know who the person who destroyed your family members is, don't you want them to bring your family to justice? At least I said so much, as a courtesy, you should have told me your name first!"
Under my nagging attacks, the youngster finally relaxed and said to me, "My name is Wang Xiaoming. You can call me Xiao Ming. I can trust all of you, but there is a condition: you must protect me!"
If I casually agreed to it, the other party would definitely suspect us, so I turned the tables and said, "You also saw it, although we are Detective, but the number of people who have come this time are limited. Just the few of us, if we have to go beyond our expectations and go all out to protect you, then it would take a lot of effort for us. Firstly, I want to think clearly about one thing, what exactly do you know?"
In the end, I didn't expect that the person called Little Ming would give me such a huge piece of information.
Little Ming said directly: "I saw the entire process of the fire!"
I thought for a moment, but still said to Little Ming, "Since you gave us your conditions, then our relationship right now is no longer an inquiry, but an equal transaction. If we just know about this, it might not be enough, because everyone in pasture has witnessed the moment of the fire, the only difference is that you are still alive, and they are already dead. With such a big fire, I think it won't be hard to see it on the news.
In the end, Little Ming directly told me: "The ones who set the fire were three Monk s!"
Hearing this, I was truly shocked in my heart!
We didn't tell anyone that we came here to find the Monk, and I think that this young man also has no idea either. This means that everything he said should be true, and we can believe it.
I paused before replying with a smile, "Alright, it's decided then. Tell me everything you know, and we will cooperate happily!"
According to the youth, this had happened on a night three days ago.
It had been a coincidental night, overcast and cloudy, but the sky hadn't rained, which had kept the fire from going out.
When it was about nine o'clock in the evening, pasture had already gone to bed, and every household had returned to their rooms to prepare for sleep. Xiao Ming had also finished his homework, and packed his bag, and was preparing to go to Schools to study the next day. At that moment, Xiao Ming suddenly discovered that there were three lights flickering inside pasture.
But after a while, Little Ming had already packed his backpack and looked at the Windows. The three people outside were still in the pasture for a meeting, so Little Ming felt that something wasn't right. Generally speaking, the local Security only walked two rounds in the night. This was considered the end of their patrol, and there was only one person on each patrol, so why were there three tonight?
Furthermore, the fact that the three of them were swaying back and forth on the spot didn't make any sense at all.
Little Ming told his parents about this. Little Ming's parents looked outside along the windowsill and decided to take out their hunting rifles to see what was going on.
In this part of the Cloud Mountain, most residents were mainly hunting, so hunting rifles were a common occurrence in every household. They let Little Ming stay in the room and not allowed to go out, but Little Ming's curiosity was too great. Not long after his parents left, he pulled down the curtains, and then made a note of it as a piece of hemp rope, allowing the Windows to climb down.
Of course, the reason why Little Ming went through so much trouble was because his parents had locked the door when he left the room.
From a certain point of view, Little Ming couldn't be considered to be a good child. However, it was precisely this action that saved Little Ming's life.
