Free Web NovelChapter 627: Chapter 219: Closer to the Truth
Patir looked at Li Xin, gently waved his hand, "I didn’t say that. Actually, I’m quite bothered by this struggle for power, it’s incredibly cruel, yet seems to be an unavoidable issue. Early in Ye Shidao’s tenure, he inclined towards the justice faction but remained neutral later on, making connections on both sides, which is why he’s been re-elected for so long. So this time, the justice faction is determined to win, but currently, the liberal faction still holds certain advantages. This might be why the Luo family and Jia family have switched sides. The two Upper Council seats at this sensitive stage are a significant blow to the justice faction." Patir said, then took a sip of coffee.
Li Xin looked at Patir, clearly not underestimating this girl, but evidently underestimated the Isaiah family’s nurturing of the younger generation. After getting information from Sister Kathy, he had suspicions in this regard.
"Can killing two trainees have such a big impact? Could it backfire?" Li Xin said.
"Possibly, but the murderer can’t just do nothing." Patir said, "Actually, these people are very afraid of death, it might just work."
Li Xin chuckled slightly, Patir was indeed spontaneous, "The murderer is an enslaved angel on the Puppet Master path, which forced Captain Jiang Wu to take his own life. Jiang Wu started having trouble after the Jia Wu Wen and Luo Zhe cases; I suspect it’s the same killer."
"Enslaved angel?" Patir’s eyes widened, filled with interest, the sexy beauty mark at the corner of her mouth slight trembled, "Are you sure?"
"Mostly sure, and the killer is very likely a singer of the Song of Hell."
From Patir’s gaze, it was clear she knew the Song of Hell, "Dao Yuan Continent’s most mysterious travel group, the Song of Hell, their singer in Dragon Capital?"
"Yes, this organization is not only powerful but also has intricate ties with various sides. If it’s a Song of Hell singer, then this matter is bound to be widely implicated and extremely dangerous." Li Xin said.
"Are you in charge of this case now?"
"I’m responsible for finding out who killed Captain Jiang Wu; if it’s really an angel, it will definitely be handed over to the Church Court." Li Xin said. ƒrēewebnovel.com
"Really? How come I don’t sense any fear of enslaved angels from you?" Patir suddenly asked.
Li Xin paused, "I don’t sense it from your tone either."
The two exchanged a smile, "I’m very brave, and who dares to mess with the young lady of the Patir family? The price is worth pondering even if it’s the Song of Hell."
Patir blinked, "There’s a misunderstanding about Song of Hell out there, thinking they’re bold and do all evil, yet anyone who’s been around for long knows there’s always a balance, with proportional rewards to what is paid."
Li Xin looked at Patir, somewhat amazed. It was only after the Hedan incident that he understood Song of Hell seemed to have ties with the Moon God’s Court and the Earth Mother Goddess Court, with a mutually exploitative relationship of certain confrontation.
"Why, do you also think I’m just a pretty vase?" Patir pouted boastfully.
"Can you find any clues among those contacted by Luo Zhe and Jia Wu Wen?" Li Xin asked.
"Very difficult, if the other party is the enslaved angel, controlling those two is too easy." Patir shook her head, suddenly looked at Li Xin, "But it’s not impossible, what will you trade?"
Li Xin hesitated, smiled bitterly, "I’m a pauper, doesn’t seem to have anything to offer."
Patir, however, seriously sized him up, her gaze carrying a unique meaning, making Li Xin feel uneasy.
"I can help you find the enslaved angel, and you answer one question for me." Patir said.
"One question?" Li Xin hesitated, doing something, or anything else seems more reliable, but one question was unexpected.
"Yes, you must honestly answer my question, no matter what I ask, whether it involves significant secrets or privacy." Patir seriously nodded.
Li Xin frowned, "If it involves others, I might not be able to..."
Patir waved her hand, "Yours."
"Me?" Li Xin didn’t know what to say, was it about the Secret Castle?
"Okay, just things I don’t know I can’t answer."
"Don’t worry, you definitely know, just depends if you want to say it." Patir laughed.
"Really, how do you know I will definitely tell the truth?" Li Xin asked with a smile.
"Finding an enslaved angel is not easy, also risking life and death, such a beauty like me abandoning happy days to fight with you, you want to deceive me?" Patir suddenly looked at Li Xin with a pitiful expression, instantly making Li Xin feel like a heartless cad.
"Now I’m a bit worried." Li Xin smiled bitterly, really not knowing what Patir would ask.
Before this exchange, he would have had no psychological burden, but after this conversation, he’s afraid Patir’s question is not simple.
"Okay?"
"No problem." Li Xin nodded.
Patir smiled, extended her hand, the two of them shook hands, shaking vigorously three times.
"Let’s sort the case out, the enslaved angel used Luo Zhe and Jia Wu Wen to lure Jiang Wu out, taking the opportunity to find Jiang Wu’s flaw, normally these two aren’t the focus, Jiang Wu is, but you came to me, probably because Jiang Wu’s clue is cut off." Patir said.
Li Xin nodded.
Patir’s mouth curled into a smile, drank some coffee, her eyes gleaming, "The enemy probably thinks the same, which in fact revealed a flaw."
"Oh? Tell me." freeweɓnovel.cøm
"Who benefits from Luo Zhe and Jia Wu Wen’s death, and who is warned by their death?" Patir asked.
"These two families are now liberal, also Beijing people, those with motives should be the justice faction, but doing it so obviously, isn’t the method too crude?" Li Xin said.
"Crude? As long as it’s effective. Power struggles sometimes aren’t as complicated as you’d think, it’s nothing more than threats and inducements, thinking too much isn’t as effective as doing more." Patir pursed her sexy lips.
Li Xin felt there was some truth, past elections in the Ugly Country at key stages were blatant truths, rough and direct play.
"Of course, there’s also the possibility of other factions."
"Could it be your liberal faction?" Li Xin said with a seemingly playful smile.
"Don’t say that, Luo family and Jia family are our partners." Patir waved her hand, "But I can help you check, seriously."
The liberal faction internally might also use such methods to solidify the stance of fence-sitters.
"Okay, but remember your promise to me." Patir said.
Patir’s expression showed she didn’t care, Li Xin was somewhat worried whether he could fulfill her condition.
Li Xin raised his coffee cup, clinking it with Patir’s.
On the way back, Li Xin thought of the former Chief Red-robed Archbishop, this Moon God’s Court figure likely knew the truth behind the whole event, but he was taken out, those who can eliminate him and suppress public opinion to the lowest are likely only the Pope of the Moon God’s Court.
Ever since the Earth Mother Goddess Court incident, he’s very cautious about the existence of Popes, the Chief Red-robed Archbishop can be said to be the Pope’s deputy, handling the Church Court’s daily affairs in place of the Pope, calling him a confidant wouldn’t be far off, what kind of things could make him betray.
The former Chief foresaw the disaster, which clearly isn’t a reason for elimination.
From another perspective, if he were the former Chief, having foreseen the disaster, the next step should be to prevent the disaster, following this trail, he gave Jiang Wu the task probably to prevent the disaster.
If he was eliminated because of this action, it indicates the disaster is related to the Moon God Pope.
Before Hedan, he wouldn’t think so, but after the Hedan experience, this possibility exists.
Li Xin thought for a while, then rolled the dice, he didn’t want to directly target those strong figures, changing angle.
Celestial Capital will face a devastating disaster.
The dice spun, effective determination: Nine points.
Immediately a strong sense of crisis enveloped his heart, Li Xin felt ice-cold all over, quickly holding the Inner Binding Seal, shouted: "Lin!"
