With the plummeting SAN value, I can only work hard to watch the drama

Chapter 177 come to the door
The security guards and investigators standing guard outside the rose garden didn't know that just now, someone had slipped in under their noses.

And they still stick to their posts, doing their duty to prevent all personnel from approaching.

In front of the gate of the old castle in the Rose Garden, two figures suddenly appeared with a strange light red breeze.

It was Shen Xiu and Alia.

Shen Xiu turned her head and glanced at the gate of the Rose Garden, which was in the distance, grinned, and walked towards the castle.

Before that, he originally planned to come to the Rose Garden to see what the "wall" had become.

But if you look back and think about it carefully, the state of the "wall" is indeed important, but more importantly, where did Tong Duo know how to hold the "ritual formation".

If we don't figure this out, even if the "wall" is repaired this time, what about the next time, what about the next time?

What's worse is that if those old believers get the method of holding the "ceremonial array", then this world may enter the end in an instant.

Therefore, this time he came not so much to explore the "wall" as to find a way to hold a "ritual formation".

"It stands to reason that although that guy has some money in his family, he is still an ordinary person after all. Even the 'Ritual Formation' that the Bureau of Foreign Affairs has not figured out, he should not be able to know."

Shen Xiu wandered around the castle casually while wondering where Tong Duo knew how to hold the "ritual formation".

Although I had already visited once yesterday, the castle was too big. In the time I had yesterday, there was no way I could visit this majestic building that Shen Xiu had never seen in his entire life.

Shen Xiu didn't speak, and Aaliya didn't make a sound either. She just looked around curiously, and from time to time she touched the strangely shaped but unique furnishings.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Xiu suddenly wandered to the door of a room, stopped by a ghost, and looked up, it was the living room where Tong Duo committed suicide yesterday.

After thinking about it, Shen Xiu pushed the door open and entered.

At this time, the living room has been restored to its original state, the overturned tables and chairs, the shattered lenses, and the coughed up blood have all been cleaned up.

As for Tong Duo's body, it has been moved away.

Shen Xiu silently walked to the place where Tong Duo died and stood there, thinking about what happened yesterday again.

It has to be said that the residual resentment of the owner of this body is quite heavy. It has been dead for so long and it still has not dissipated. So much so that Shen Xiu couldn't help but feel sore in her nose again when she thought of what happened yesterday.

Shen Xiu took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and did not plan to stay in this "sad place".

He was about to go out when suddenly a thought popped into his mind.

Yesterday, Tong Duo used a cheap-looking makeup mirror to commit suicide. With his wealth, he would never use that kind of thing.

Besides, the makeup mirror is obviously only used by women, and Tong Duo was reluctant to let go of it when he was dying, and still held it in his arms.

Obviously the owner of that thing should be that woman named Lan Xinyue.

"From this point of view, that woman should have exchanged some 'tokens of love' with Tong Duo. Could it be that the secret of the 'ritual array' is hidden in it?"

Shen Xiu frowned slightly and hesitated.

Normally, any information about the "Ritual Formation" is one of the most important secrets in this world.

Whether it is obtained by old believers or people from the Bureau of Strange Affairs, it will definitely be kept strictly confidential, and even a little bit of information will not be allowed to leak out.

As an old believer, Lan Xinyue would do the same thing.

But nothing is absolute.

If for some reason, Lan Xinyue handed over the secrets about the "ritual array" to Tong Duo, whether actively or passively, would this happen?

After a moment of hesitation, Shen Xiu got an affirmative answer - definitely.

And Lan Xinyue didn't hand it over "passively", it must be handed over to Tong Duo willingly.

After all, with Tong Duo's IQ and EQ, if the woman didn't really love him, he wouldn't give so much affection, and he would desperately avenge the woman after she was killed.

However, the woman still played a trick.

The secret about the "ritual array" was hidden in a certain "token of love", so that Tong Duo didn't discover the secret immediately after she was killed.

Otherwise, the "Ritual Formation" would not have surfaced just now.

"Could it be that the guy became disheartened because of the woman's death, but suddenly discovered the secret hidden in the things the woman gave him, and came up with the idea of ​​revenge."

"It was indeed a coincidence that Zaitou met me, but after the encounter, that guy did not know whether it was out of curiosity or for other reasons, he investigated me and found out that I was from the Bureau of Strange Affairs. When the towers met, they deliberately led me to the rose garden."

"Then what is his purpose in doing this?"

Shen Xiu was thinking as she sat on the nearest chair, frowning.

Soon, he thought of the answer.

Since Tong Duo is out for revenge, there must be enemies.

Since Tong Duo remembered Yang Ye, the murderer who killed his beloved woman, he must be the target.

It's just that, due to the situation that the Foreign Affairs Bureau came to investigate and announce several times before, this incident was regarded as an ordinary murder and was not taken seriously.

Let him have a misunderstanding.

Only then did he want to use the hand of himself, a rookie who had only been an investigator for less than half a year, to attract the attention of the Bureau of Foreign Affairs again.

It's just that Tong Duo didn't know that the Bureau of Strange Affairs was actually Mingxiu Plank Road secretly going to Chen Cang. It was confirmed that this matter was related to the old sect, but he didn't tell Tong's family so as not to startle the snake.

That is to say, he, Shen Xiu, is indeed a dispensable "tool man". It would be the same with him or without him. This is why Tong Duo will apologize to him after his identity is revealed.

"Probably so"

Shen Xiu muttered to herself, then gave a wry smile and sighed.

He couldn't say how annoyed he was at being used, and of course he wouldn't be willing. If he really wanted to say something, he was still a little annoyed.

It's not that she was angry that Tong Duo used him, but that Tong Duo underestimated him.

If he really treats him as a friend and tells him the matter, and at the same time there is something wrong in his mind, if he agrees, then killing Yang Ye will not be easy.

So what about "Advanced Hunting", is it better than Alia?
Of course, it's too late to say all this now.

Shen Xiu got up slowly, and walked resolutely to the outside of the living room.

Now that it has been roughly confirmed that the secret of the "ritual array" may be hidden in the things that Lan Xinyue gave to Tong Duo, it is necessary to find the things as soon as possible.

As for why he didn't tell the people from the Bureau of Foreign Affairs to look for it together, Shen Xiu felt that it was better to keep this kind of thing by herself than to give it to others.

After all, it is better to rely on yourself than others.

For the next few hours, Shen Xiu wandered around the castle, looking for the secret where Tong Duo might hide the "token of love".

But after working for a long time, he was short of digging three feet, and still found nothing, but he was so tired that he was out of breath.

"This guy, where did he put Dong XZ?"

Shen Xiu wiped the sweat from her forehead and muttered to herself.

At first he thought that Tong Duo might have put things in his room, and it took him nearly an hour to find his room.

I searched all the places in the room where I could hide things, and even knocked on every floor tile and every square meter of the wall, including the ceiling, for fear of any hidden spaces.

There was indeed a secret compartment in the room, and there was a one-meter-high safe in it.

But unfortunately, after Aliya blasted the door open, Shen Xiu only saw wads of cash inside, and nothing else.

After excluding Tong Duo's room, Shen Xiu started searching room by room, just like looking for a needle in a haystack.

It wasn't until just now that I roughly searched for the rooms on the bright side of the castle.

As for whether there is a darkroom in this majestic building, Shen Xiu no longer wants to think about it, nor does she want to look for it anymore.

Because he suddenly realized that since Tong Duo didn't keep Dong XZ in his own room, he couldn't hide it anywhere else.

After all, those things were the last thoughts that woman left for him, and if he didn't keep them by his side, he would always feel guilty.

It's just that apart from this ancient castle, the Tong family has a lot of properties in Jingdu.

Especially in terms of real estate, Tong's family is ranked well in the whole country.

If Tong Duo really kept those things in some secret place of his own, where should he find them.

Thinking of this, Shen Xiu felt like crying, and the idea of ​​telling the Bureau of Strange Affairs quietly arose.

But soon, he shook his head again and again, driving the thought out of his mind.

It's not that he is still unwilling to cooperate with the Bureau of Strange Affairs in the face of this situation, but since there are so many talents in the Bureau of Strange Affairs that he can think of, how could he not think of it.

He rushed to tell the other party, maybe the other party would suspect that he had some bad intentions.

Might as well just do nothing and watch it get better.

Since she couldn't find the thing that contained the secret of the "Ritual Formation", Shen Xiu gave up and continued to search, and started to work on the second purpose of coming to the Rose Garden - to investigate the condition of the "Wall".

It is said that there is a "wall" between day and night, but he has traveled between the two worlds several times, why has he never seen it?

Shen Xiu suspected that this might have something to do with her own strength.

Fortunately, this time with Aliya by my side, she should be able to easily find the "wall".

The position of the "wall" is between day and night, so if you want to find that thing, you can't find it in night or day, you have to alternate between the two.

It was still early in the evening, so Shen Xiu found a random room and took Aliya to watch TV absently while eating the dry food she brought with her.

This "leisure" time was quickly broken by a word from Alia.

"Father, someone is here."

Shen Xiu, who was lying on the sofa, immediately sat up and asked:
"Is it Long Zheng?"

Alia, who had seen Long Zheng once, shook her head:
"No, it's someone else."

After a pause, he seemed to feel that what he said was not very specific, so he added:
"It's the one who came with the short-haired sister yesterday."

"Sister with short hair?"

Shen Xiu was stunned and quickly remembered who Aaliya was talking about - Chen Shan!
The person who came with Chen Shan?

In other words, those who came were ordinary investigators from Jingdu.

Shen Xiu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

As long as there is no "pillar" like Long Zheng, even if all the outside investigators come in, he will not be afraid.

But I'm not afraid of returning. It's better not to have conflicts. If I sneaked in quietly, it's better to find a place to hide first.

Immediately, Shen Xiu tidied up the scene and took Aliya to find a place to hide.

But before he could decide where to hide, a familiar voice echoed in the castle.

"Shen Xiu, I know you are here, come out quickly, I have something to do with you!"

After hearing that it was Yang Ye who spoke, Shen Xiu realized that Alia's words did not refer to "ordinary investigators", but to the investigator leader from yesterday.

He paused, showed a sarcastic smile, and continued to trot again.

Are you kidding me, he will be fooled by such a simple trick, really think he is a three-year-old child?

But following Yang Ye's next words, Shen Xiu stopped annoyed.

"Come out, I'm not kidding, I've confirmed that you are here through the phone location."

Shen Xiu took out the mobile phone that was in her pocket without any abnormalities, her teeth itching with hatred, why did she bring this thing with her.

I wanted to throw it away to vent my anger, but just as I lifted the phone up, it stopped again.

After all, this thing was bought with hard-earned money. It's a pity to throw it away. After thinking about it, I took it back.

A few minutes later, Shen Xiu appeared in front of the castle gate.

Below the steps, dozens of investigators, including Yang Ye, were lined up and standing there.

Shen Xiu glanced at these people, except for Yang Ye, no one knew them.

When the nine people saw Shen Xiu and Alia coming out of the castle, their faces were not very good-looking, and they glared fiercely at one of them and one of them.

Shen Xiu ignored them, looked straight at Yang Ye, and asked:
"What do you want from me?"

His face was calm, and he was not at all embarrassed by being caught.

This can't help but make the other nine people even more angry.

Yang Ye didn't open his mouth right away, he whispered a few words to the person beside him, and saw that the others were reluctant to turn around and leave.

At this time, Yang Ye pointed at the castle and said:

"Go inside and talk."

Soon, the three of them entered the castle hall and sat down in the side hall without going any further.

Yang Ye glanced at Alia, who had a harmless face, without going around in circles, he gritted his teeth and said straight to the point:

"Let me tell you the truth, I was appointed by the higher authorities to negotiate a deal with you, as long as you are willing to go for us, talk to that 'angel', and ask about the way to and from the night, The higher-ups will grant you some requests that are not excessive."

Speaking of this, Yang Ye swallowed, carefully observed the expressions of Shen Xiu and Ailiya, and saw that the two had no intention of doing anything, so he continued:
"Of course, it would be even better if you can convince that 'angel' to help us strengthen the 'wall' in the night world, and you can ask for any conditions."

Hearing this, Shen Xiu didn't answer right away, but looked at Yang Ye with a half-smile, and didn't speak until she felt restless looking at Yang Ye:
"What will you do if I don't agree?"

"It's still here."

Yang Yexin brought it up all of a sudden, in the end the last thing he didn't want to happen happened.

He pursed his dry lips, and said in strict words:
"If the deal fails, someone from above should be sent to talk to you."

"Hahaha"

Shen Xiu suddenly laughed.

Will the higher-ups send someone to talk to him again?
Will the people who come next time really sit down and talk with him nicely?
Naturally impossible!
Either a large group of investigators will be dispatched, or a "supporter" will be dispatched, or even two of them will be dispatched together to prevent him from having a backup.

Anyway, this deal has to be done anyway.

Yang Ye didn't express anything about Shen Xiu's mocking laughter, but heaved a sigh of relief.

I have already said what I should say, and the other party has no intention of angering him, which means that he has half of Zhu Biao's experience in his hands, and the remaining half will naturally be saved when he returns to the Bureau of Strange Affairs. .

Now let's see how the former investigator, who is friends with the "angel" and has a "pillar" as his bodyguard, will act.
