Chapter 145: Four-directional City
Riditch nodded:
"Can you guess a bit, is it about Sister's matter?"
As the captain of the law enforcement guards, it would be abnormal if Riditch did not know about Sister's matter.
"That's right, Sister disappeared after a kid named Ding Huan came to Xiao Xingjiao Town Market a half month ago. It seems that Ding Huan is the most suspicious person."
Zuo Shi Gou looked at Riditch and said.
Riditch laughed loudly:
"Hook Manager, if you mention Ding Huan, I know this matter much more than you."
Zuo Shi Gou was puzzled:
"Captain Riditch, what do you mean?"
Riditch composed his expression:
"Because Ding Huan just arrived in the Four-directional Starland, we've been monitoring him for three months. Since the day he came to the Small Xingjiao Town Market, he has been under our surveillance."
"Based on our monitoring information, he hasn't made any appearances, so it's probably not related to Sister's disappearance."
Hearing this, Zuo Shi Gou did not have the slightest doubt.
After all, Riditch is the captain of the law enforcement team in the Small Xingjiao Town Market. If there is even a hint of suspicion, Riditch would help his family, the Zuo Shi family, and wouldn't risk speaking up for a stranger.
"Then, has there been any particularly important people come to the Small Xingjiao Town Market recently?" Zuo Shi Gou asked again.
Riditch hesitated for a moment before speaking:
"There is actually something strange."
Zuo Shi Gou heard this and his spirit was revitalized.
Riditch continued to speak:
"There's a man named Kan Ni, who used to do some unprofitable business in the Small Xingjiao Town Market."
"Later, he sold a house to that Ding Huan. Interestingly, he disappeared after selling the house. It wasn't until we found his body that we knew he had been killed."
Zuo Shi Gou was taken aback. Earlier, Riditch said that Ding Huan had no suspicions. How did this sentence directly point to Ding Huan?
Riditch seemed to have noticed Zuo Shi Gou's puzzled gaze.
"Of course, I was the first to suspect Ding Huan. So I investigated all of his surveillance information and found that he really didn't leave anywhere. "
"As the safety chief of the Small Xingjiao Town Market, even if he doesn't have any suspicious points, I have to investigate Ding Huan."
Zuo Shi Gou nodded, that made sense.
"Just as I was interrogating Ding Huan, Jin happened to return. Ding Huan bought a house from Kan Ni, and Jin had some relationship with Kan Ni, so he prompted me to find the murderer."
Riditch, at this point, appropriately revealed a hint of confusion:
"What puzzles me is that Jin just came back to urge me, and then left the Small Xingjiao Town Market in a hurry again."
"Have the murderer of Kan Ni been found?" Zuo Shi Gou couldn't care less about Jin's disappearance.
Riditch nodded:
"Yes, it was the Gu family's four brothers. Kan Ni was targeted by the Gu family because he made a big income, and in the end, he was killed."
"Before, the Gu family's four brothers had a very good relationship with Kan Ni. They committed many cases together. It was just that I couldn't do anything to them because of Jin's face. I never thought they would blackmail each other…"
Riditch stopped speaking here without going on, and Zuo Shi Gou's expression turned somber.
He didn't know Ding Huan, but when he went to investigate at the interstellar square, he already knew what kind of person Ding Huan was.
He's a scaredy-cat, someone who's extremely afraid of trouble.
That's why Ding Huan sold the warship to Sister, and even the price was decided by Sister, Ding Huan dared not add.
A person like that to kill Sister, not to mention killing Sister and her group of henchmen, is simply impossible.
Then it's more likely what Riditch said about Kan Ni and the four brothers of the Gu family.
The combined strength of these five people should be enough to kill Sister.
Do you think that the five people saw Sister coming to the Small Xingjiao Town Market, so they got greedy, and then killed Sister?
And did the four brothers of the Gu family, fearing that things would be exposed, kill Kan Ni to silence him?
Zuo Shi Gou thinks about it and gets more and more convinced that it might be true.
"Captain Riditch, to be honest with you, why are you in such a hurry to kill the four brothers of the Gu family? Is it because someone is watching you?"
Zuo Shi Gou believed he had found the key to the matter, and his tone became stern.
Riditch's eyes showed an embarrassed expression.
"Well, it's not so much that someone is watching me, but it's because Jin may have become somewhat excited about Kan Ni being killed and made a fuss in our law enforcement team."
And since the Gu family is indeed the one who killed Kan Ni, I just gave him a face and executed the four brothers of the Gu family.
I think he probably saw the Gu brothers being executed and then left."
Zuo Shi Gou stood up:
"Thank you, Captain Riditch. Goodbye."
He believes that he has already found the truth of the matter and can return to report it as is.
The whole incident was caused by Jin.
This guy ordered his subordinates Kan Ni and the four brothers of the Gu family to jointly eliminate Sister and Sister's little guys. Maybe he himself was involved in it as well.
After that, he let the four brothers of the Gu family kill Kan Ni.
The Gu family had too many people, and he couldn't kill them all at once. So he used the law enforcement guards to eliminate the Gu family, in order to achieve the purpose of silencing them.
Sister's things are in his possession, and he silenced Sister, so Jin disappeared naturally.
But to touch his Zuo Shi family, Jin thought he could escape—it was a mistake.
...
Ding Huan has not been practicing symbols recently. He feels that his symbol pen level is not high enough and continuing to refine it is futile.
After feeling that his progress in practicing the art of stealth became difficult after a month, Ding Huan decided to leave the Small Xingjiao Town Market.
He bought a house before, thinking that he could get the message of high-level civilized beings coming to the Four-directional Starland in the Small Xingjiao Town Market.
Now that it has been proved to be impossible, he continued to stay in the Small Xingjiao Town Market, which was no longer meaningful.
Before leaving, Ding Huan still went to see Riditch.
Riditch knows that Ding Huan killed Kan Ni and Sister, and later Jin as well.
So far, the people from Zuo Shi family have not found him. It's definitely not because of his luck, the only possibility is that Riditch helped him cover up.
"Haha, Ding brother."
Seeing Ding Huan come to see him, Riditch was very happy.
Ding Huan was also very enthusiastic:
"Old man Town, I've been quite busy lately and haven't had time to come see you. I'm about to leave the Small Xingjiao Town Market. I plan to sell the house in Xingtang for a hundred purple coins."
Selling the house in Xingtang for a hundred purple coins, which is clearly giving money to Riditch.
Riditch was very satisfied with Ding Huan's knowledge of gratitude, but he shook his head and said:
"I can't buy your house, and I can't be too close to you."
Seeing Ding Huan's confusion, Riditch told him about the things left by Zuo Shi Gou and also told him their conversation.
Ding Huan immediately understood that Riditch had helped him clear the suspicion, and if he took his house, it would be like saying "There is no silver here" three hundred times in the same place.
"Thank you, old brother. In that case, I'll leave this house empty here; I definitely won't be coming back."
Riditch laughed again, understanding Ding Huan's meaning, indicating that Ding Huan has looked into the laws of the Four-directional Starland.
Ding Huan's house was in the Small Xingjiao Town Market. If Ding Huan stayed away from the Small Xingjiao Town Market for a long time, the town market had the right to recover his house.
In the end, Ding Huan still ended up giving the house to him.
Ding Huan once again took out a bag and handed it to Riditch saying:
"Old brother, this bag contains a little of my goodwill, please accept it."
"This won't do, Ding brother. I befriended you because I have high hopes for you. You've already given me a house; I can't accept anything else."
Riditch declined.
Ding Huan stopped Riditch's refusal:
"Old brother Town, I will do everything in my power to follow a high-level civilization's spaceship and leave this place. Before I leave, if you encounter any difficulties, you can find me in the Four-directional City."
Seeing that Ding Huan was genuinely sincere, Riditch accepted it.
"If so, thank you very much, Ding brother. You are a man of talents and I believe that you will make a great success in the future. Also, if you live in the Four-directional City temporarily, it's best not to buy a house."
"Alright." Ding Huan replied and then took his leave from Riditch.
...
After Ding Huan left, Riditch was filled with heartfelt thoughts.
People like Ding Huan are worth helping, for they know how to be grateful and repay kindness.
And with just a little guidance, they can understand what to do, truly talented people.
If Ding Huan had left without a sound, he would have been disappointed.
Opening the sack, the first things taken out were two bottles of wine, brought from Earth by Ding Huan.
Riditch wasn't concerned, as the value of the gift lies in the thought behind it rather than the item itself. It's not about whether or not the gift is given.
The next thing taken out was 5,000 purple coins.
That's rather substantial.
From this point, Riditch believes that Ding Huan is a generous and trustworthy person who can be counted on.
However, he didn't know that Ding Huan had relatively little purple coins on him. If Ding Huan had taken out all the purple coins from the investment bank owned by Sister, he would have given Riditch at least ten thousand purple coins.
Finally, he took out a thin book.
Qianluo Genjue Jue?
Riditch hurriedly flipped through the pages, only to be shocked to discover that it was a cultivation technique.
This is a priceless treasure to him.
Ding Huan gave him this thing, indicating that he saw that he was also practicing cultivation, but without a good technique, so his cultivation was not systematic at all.
"Thank you, Ding brother." Riditch excitedly tucked away the Qianluo Genjue Jue and bowed towards the direction of the Four-directional City.
He accepted this kindness.
In the Four-directional Starland, those who give out cultivation techniques are usually members of the same family or teachers and students or fathers and sons.
Someone like Ding Huan, a magnanimous outsider, is almost non-existent.
...
The Four-directional Starland is not very large, far smaller than Earth.
But the Four-directional City is quite large; cities like Pu Hai and Yanjing on Earth are considered top-tier metropolises. Compared to the Four-directional City, they are not even in the same league.
If we hadn't mentioned it earlier, after the Earth's genetic beasts erupted, both Pu Hai and Yanjing, these top-tier cities, have built protective walls. From a distance, they look almost identical to ancient cities.
This is still significantly smaller than the Four-directional City.
The walls of the Four-directional City are somewhat similar to the defensive walls of human corridors. They enclose an entire continent, not just a city.
Too many people come and go from the Four-directional City, so it doesn't require a fee to enter the city.
Ding Huan entered the Four-directional City with Qi Xinyue and Lao Liu, neither causing a stir nor being questioned by anyone.
If there's anything strange, it's not that Ding Huan and Qi Xinyue brought along Lao Liu.
This place is the center of this universe, and intelligent life from various planets will come here.
Humans with unusual appearances are considered normal here, and you can occasionally encounter beings with ox heads or lion faces.
