Throne Steps

The sun is already shining directly into the yard.

While Wiggins flexes his talents indoors, everyone else waits outside.The two guards he brought stood guard at the door of the house, while Noah sat in the living room outside without saying a word.The two saintesses seem to be very busy going back and forth outside the house, treating the scratches of the girl who just fell, and fetching water for them to prevent the three who cannot move from being dehydrated in the sun.

The black swans sat or stood outside the door or in the courtyard, waiting boredly.But as long as the three people in the yard moved a little, a pair of sharp eyes locked on the three of them in an instant, just like a beast locked on its prey, and would pounce on it in the next second and tear it to pieces.With such pressure, let alone the locked-in person, even the saint who is close to help will be so shocked that the hairs stand on end.

Sitting by the door, Li Chen could see the movement in the yard, and could also keep an eye on whether Wiggins was over at any time.Although he didn't say it clearly, he secretly set a time limit for Wiggins' behavior. If it exceeds, even if Wiggins hasn't had time to look at the opponent's manager.Akye sat beside him, and the two talked in a low voice from time to time.

"Someone is coming from the village."

A black swan came over the wall from the backyard, and approached Li Chen quickly, but his expression was not necessarily serious: "It is estimated that the spies in the town got wind of it."

This is normal, Wiggins' team made no secrets, and no matter how dull the spies were, they noticed something was wrong.

"Slower than I expected..." Li Chen looked at the three people in the yard and sneered, "There is no protection, there is no eyeliner in the village, and even the response speed in the town is not fast... It seems that Farah's allies Or, they don’t really care about these people.”

Their conversation was not deliberately soft, and basically everyone present could hear it.The old man and woman in the courtyard fell in the sun, just now they were hopeful because "there might be spies coming", but they fell into despair because of Li Chen's contempt and ridicule.

Wiggins' door finally opened.

Everyone in the hall reacted immediately, and Noah and Li Chen stood up directly and greeted the door.

It was Li Chen who spoke first.His demeanor was not full of expectation, but implied oppression: "So, where is Farah?"

He asked so directly that Wiggins couldn't tell the foreshadowing of the draft for a while, so he had to reply: "He... should still be in Suoyang."

Li Chen raised his eyebrows: "Then?"

Wiggins thought for a while, then hesitated: "He may have changed his appearance, I 'heard' him say 'no one will recognize him again'..."

Li Chen said again: "And then?"

Because the tone of the two black youths was too careless, Wiggins' simmering fire along the way was finally ignited: "Don't bully people too much, black swan!"

If he had named Li Chen's name, it might only have aroused Akye's reaction, but as soon as the word "black swan" was uttered, the black swans in the room immediately looked over.Their postures don't seem to have changed much, but if someone who is proficient in martial arts looks at them, they will understand that they are like arrows stretched on a string, and they may be fired at any time.

Wiggins' two guards also clenched their sword hilts.

Li Chen didn't seem to notice the rattling swords in the room, nor did he care about Wiggins' tone, and replied indifferently: "Too much deception? Hey, dear Mr. Chief, your 'sitting and watching the world' is amazing It has already spread throughout Retia, understand? Please come here, let you face a war criminal inside for so long, and the things you ask are not as good as I know, who is bullying too much?"

Farah changed his face and hid in Suoyangli, which Li Chen had guessed a long time ago.The black swan's intelligence feedback almost confirmed this conjecture.It's just that Suoyang said it's not big, there are tens of thousands of people anyway, where can I find them one by one?Li Chen called Wiggins to ask him to seek answers from the memories of Farah's family.

Wiggins has always been relying on his own special talent. Now that Li Chen has said that he is almost worthless, it is difficult for him to hold his breath: "In that case, why did you invite me?"

"I don't have time to quarrel with you, so let me ask you to answer." Li Chen looked over Wiggins' shoulder, looked into the room, and then turned back, "Who provided his 'transformation potion'?"

He didn't need to drink the Transformation Potion every day, so Dali didn't have to take risks every day.Black Swan has locked down some "suspected suppliers", but after all, the long-term worker played by Dali often goes to the market, and it is difficult to say which one secretly gave him the banned drugs.

Of course, there will always be results after careful investigation, but Li Chen is racing against the time of the Southwest Army, and everything must be done as soon as possible.Otherwise, he doesn't have to rush to "disturb" Farah's family.

Wiggins was taken aback for a moment, and then reacted: "You know this..."

"Don't pretend to be stupid at this time. How about the scene where Major Dali kills the long-term worker at home? Is it exciting?" Li Chen chuckled, "He drank the 'transformation potion' on the spot... where did it come from?"

He said one point at a time, and Wiggins' brain speed couldn't keep up.Noah next to him had the ability to keep up, but he felt that he had heard the incredible news, and was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a moment, but he just looked into the room unconsciously.

Wiggins regained his senses and finally remembered the answer to the question: "The two in front of the head... were given to him directly by Farah."

Li Chen expected it, and continued to ask: "What about the one behind?"

Wiggins hated him for asking lightly, and didn't agree with the hard work he had put into displaying his talent at all, but he could only reply angrily: "It should be obtained from the market, I saw him take out the potion from the salt bag... ..."

Although Dali was in his youth and there was no one to grow up to speak of, Wiggins still made great efforts to watch it, especially in the three years before Suoyan's incident.When encountering such a scenario of "suddenly taking out a potion", he had to go back and carefully confirm who gave it to him.However, Wiggins thought that he spent a lot of effort and careful investigation, and Li Chen seemed to be picked up from the sky.The double-hei youth casually called a black swan over and asked him to carefully write down the characteristics of the market stalls and stall owners.

However, Wiggins only described two characteristics, and the black swan said he knew who it was.

Wiggins felt that this group of black-haired birds was simply unreasonable, but Li Chen shrugged and agreed to end Wiggins' narration.They knew the range, were familiar with each suspect, and Wiggins' two characteristics were enough to pin down one of them.

Li Chen asked again: "They should have financial assistance... Can you be sure who gave the money?"

Wiggins choked on his last breath and couldn't go down. The situation that he couldn't grasp the initiative anyway made him frustrated.He looked at Li Chen's indifferent expression, and in a blink of an eye, he glanced at Noah who was frowning at him, and for some reason, he was a little bit broken: "I can't be sure... It seems that there is a restaurant owner. I always talk to him about some daily things, but I don’t know if the money he gave is too much.”

The black swan who was still standing next to Li Chen whispered in Li Chen's ear, "It should be the one who received his treasures..."

Li Chen nodded.If it was indeed him, then most of what they talked about was not everyday, but some kind of "coded language".Wiggins can't hear it, it's normal.

Li Chen thought for a while and asked, "Are there any other clues that can point to Farah?"

Wiggins quickly went through the scene he saw in his mind, and denied, "No more."

In fact, Dali's life after becoming a "Geely long-term worker" can be regarded as ordinary, and his family tried their best to avoid getting involved with Farah.

Li Chen was quite reconciled, and frowned and asked again: "Dali really didn't see Farah's appearance now? He didn't even know his name or where he was?"

Wiggins replied: "No."

Li Chen glanced at the room again: "He should know the answer."

"He knows, but I don't know!" Wiggins was fed up with the other party's doubts, "I just 'see', not mind reading!"

If you think carefully, you may not be able to sum up the answer from Dali's daily behavior, but Li Chen has no expectations for Wiggins' logical reasoning ability.He glanced up and down at the temple chief who was almost covered in white, and finally took a step back to get out of the way: "Then, I won't send it off."

Wiggins and him looked at each other for a few seconds, one black and one white seemed to be fighting in secret, but there seemed to be nothing.Then Wiggins took the lead.

Li Chen raised his hand and made a gesture, and the two black swans walked straight into the house.They didn't shy away from Wiggins, even rubbed his shoulders, and walked in by mistake.

An extremely painful muffled groan came.

Wiggins couldn't help but stop and closed his eyes.He knew what it represented, and he had no urge to stop it from happening, but subconsciously stopped when he realized a certain image.

Li Chen glanced at his back, sneered and said, "You don't want to intercede for him, do you, Mr. Chief? You have also seen how he killed innocent civilians. The most direct ending is already kind to him." gone."

"I won't intercede for him." Wiggins seemed to be reminded, and he turned around, "But you promised that if I read his experience, you would send the three outside to law enforcement agencies .”

After seeing Dali's tragic situation, Wiggins couldn't imagine what would happen to the three people outside if they were still in the hands of the black swan.

"Don't say I didn't promise you, dear chief." Li Chen smiled, "Judging from the amount of information you told me, do you think you have fulfilled the conditions you promised?"

"It's not that I didn't see it, it's that he didn't see it!" Wiggins frowned at him. "I'm not omniscient. If you invite me here, you should have expected such a result."

Wiggins said it almost with glee.He was "forced" to come and watch, but the "forcer" did not get the desired result.For Wiggins, this is simply the news of the world.

"Okay, okay, it's useless anyway, take those three guys away." Li Chen's expression was half a smile, and he gestured to Akye beside him while talking.Akye nodded and walked out in silence. When he passed Wiggins, he glanced at Wiggins with cold and emotionless eyes.

Wiggins thought that Lichen had made a concession, and the rare "victory" made him unable to restrain the joy in his heart, and his expression suddenly relaxed.

However, Li Chen said that he wanted to let him go, but in fact he gave the order to "solve it as soon as possible".After all, "cutting the grass but not the root" is not the style of the black swan.

"I don't care." Li Chen looked at Wiggins, who finally had a happy expression, smiled, staggered the other party's position and walked out and said, "But Mr. Chief must think about it carefully, how to ask your brother?" The believers explained...not only did you fail to save the people of Suoyang, but you also couldn’t find the hiding place of the traitor, and even pleaded for the family members who harbored the traitor?”

Wiggins turned around suddenly: "...you!"

Just at this moment, a saintess suddenly ran in from the yard and almost bumped into Li Chen.

"Master Chief!" She didn't bother apologizing, and rushed to Wiggins' side, talking anxiously into his ear.

Wiggins' eyes widened instantly because of what he heard. He subconsciously glanced at Li Chen, then quickly withdrew his gaze, and said to the saint: "Then what are you waiting for, take me there!"

After finishing speaking, the two of them turned around, hurriedly passed through the living room, and ran to the back of the house.The two guards of Wiggins looked at each other and followed.

Two black swans standing in the hall spontaneously fell behind them.

Li Chen watched the backs of several people disappear into the corridor leading to the back room, squinted his eyes, and glanced at Noah who was still.

Noah put on a helpless expression and shook his head.

Li Chen walked to the door of the house and looked into the yard. The old man and the two women had already been pushed to the door of the yard, and the young woman looked back in the direction of the house from time to time.A saintess was supporting and helping them, and they kept talking to the three of them.Occasionally, she would turn her head and look into the room, but she met Li Chen's gaze, and then hurriedly looked away.

Akye opened the courtyard door.

This small courtyard is too remote and inconspicuous, the outside is very quiet, only the rustling of the wind blowing through the woods.Two black swans stood at the door, able to observe the movement around them at any time.

The three were taken out, only the saint and Akye remained inside the door.

Before that saintess became a so-called saint, she was just an ordinary girl.After suddenly realizing that she was surrounded by vicious people, she had no choice but to quickly lower her head and stand where she was.

And the black swan who followed Wiggins finally turned around.His footsteps were fast, and he arrived at Li Chen's side in three steps and two steps.

"Farah's son found!"
