PS: The contract has been signed, you can invest in a bad money...

Put it on the desk and check it carefully. The level of the connecting rod is very high, the surface is rough, and the polishing is not smooth, but the connection at the connection is flawless and very suitable.
His eyes left the structural parts, he lay on the chair, holding the hot water cup with both hands, and squinted his eyes slightly.
"According to Ms. Yenny Yen, the unlucky guy appeared half a month ago. Now in half a month, the other party should have walked a lot of distance. Finding someone in a strange environment is like finding a needle in a haystack. You have to find someone familiar with the environment to become your guide, and then follow the guide to follow the guide to follow the other party's traces. The most important thing is that this guide must be someone you trust very much."
Someone I trust very much...
After thinking about it, there seems to be only one person who can meet this condition at present.
"Lenthal..."
Li Tong got up and put on a black cloak and went out.
The door of the small wooden house in Lensad was closed, but a row of footprints appeared on the steps, and I didn't see it when I passed by.
He greeted an acquaintance in the town passing by at the door and went up to knock on the door.
"Lenzade, I'm Ronin..."
I waited for a long time and received no response.
"Sleep?"
Looking around to confirm that there was no one else, Li Tong muttered and stepped forward and pushed the door.
"Cruff"
The door has no plug, and a gap is slowly opened.
"I don't even have a door tied up, I'm even more nervous than myself."
After a moment of silence, I quickly got into the crack in the door, then turned around and closed the door quickly to prevent anyone at the door from seeing him breaking into someone else's house without authorization. Although he was an acquaintance with the other party, he was born with a feeling of stealing and making people feel unrighteous. Perhaps it was because of his new arrival's vigilance.
Turning back to the door, Li Tong's soothing heart suddenly rose to his throat and held his breath.
The light from the closed curtains dim the environment. There was a person sitting on the chair in front of the desk not far away, and his face could not be seen clearly under the dim light.
"It should be Lenzadeh"
Li Tong, who had come back to his senses and clarified the situation quickly adjusted his mentality.
"Sorry, I knocked on the door, you didn't answer, I'm worried about your safety...so..."
The person on the seat immediately interrupted.
"Do you know Lensade?"
Li Tong was stunned.
"The meaning of this sentence is that there is another person sitting in the dim light. It is not Rensade. Is it a thief? Or a robber, or a friend who visited his fellow man last night? In short, it is not the person last night, because the person's body shape and outline are not so strong."
While thinking, the man's voice rang again.
"Lenthaled is gone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the room immediately lit up. The light source was the candle in the corner of the table in front of the person sitting.
Under the light, there was a firm face, and a pair of blue eyes were sharper than the eagle falcon. Although I was sitting, I could still tell that I was over 1.8 meters tall. I was wearing leather armor made of animal skin, and some reinforcement was made of metal. The purpose of course was to increase the defense of leather armor. The leather boots on the edge of the table were covered with mud.
There were two swords on the table, and the sword edge was shining with a cold light under the candlelight.
"The low-end version of the witcher Geralt?" Li Tong murmured subconsciously in his mind.
A corpse was lying on the ground beside it. The limbs of the corpse were twisted and formed into a strange shape. Blood was condensed on the ground and his head was gone.
Staring at the corpse, Li Tong felt cold on his back, and involuntarily retreated, pressing against the door panel tightly. If it weren't for this door, he would have been able to retreat from here at a speed of 100 kilometers per hour.
Go forward, turn around, open the door, and rush out...
This series of actions is slightly calculated and takes about three seconds.
The other party stood up, drew his sword, rushed over, and pierced his chest with visual results.
In theory, he was able to rush out before he died.
But the prerequisite is that when both parties have the same physical functions, at present, the other party's physical functions are obviously several times stronger than themselves, and there are interferences from inner fear, which will also affect the efficiency of this series of movements.
So after quick and comprehensive consideration, we can only stay where we are honest.
"I am a friend of Lensade, I just come and see...he..."
The person sitting on the chair gently tapped the desk with his fingers, making a dull and rhythmic sound of "dongdong". After a moment, he fell into silence. He could hear the needle, and soon a low and powerful sound rang out.
"It seems that my waiting is not a waste of time, and I finally gained something. Come and sit here. I need to know some things about Lenzadeh. Since you are his friend, you must know a lot."
Li Tong understood the meaning of the other party's words.
"This guy sat in the room without making a sound, just waiting for the first person to come to the door, and now he has become this unlucky guy."
Seeing the other party get up and put another chair next to the desk in front of the desk, then stretched out his hand to signal over, Li Tong pursed his lips, his throat was dry, and he didn't move.
Subconsciously, he had already regarded this guy as his enemy. Because Rensad was not there, the old man who was sent to the church of Order by himself last night became a scapegoat and was stripped of by this guy. When he entered the door, he had noticed the familiar black robe on the body, which was clearly the old man who had visited him last night. It should be his turn next.
"No, I must make up for it and quickly separate my relationship."
Li Tong thought so and spoke.
"Well, I don't know much about Lenzade. Although I treat him as a friend, he doesn't think so. Now I'm just here to inform him to go to Ms. Yenny Yen to settle the debt. By the way, he still owed me a sum. Such a guy should have died long ago. Don't worry, I'll pretend that nothing happened here has happened."
The person next to the desk had one hand pressed on the hilt of a sword on the table, his eyes were sharp and unquestionable, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, showing a strange smile.
"Don't worry, it's just a simple question to come and sit."
It seemed that this would be useless to remedy, and there seemed to be no chance to escape. Li Tong greeted the 18 generations of ancestors in his heart and then dragged his extremely reluctant body to the chair, sat down slowly, showing a harmless smile of humans and animals.
“I will answer truthfully what you want to know.
He moved his fingers away from the sword and sat back. The man nodded with a cold expression.
"How long have you known him?"
Of course, the less time, the better, Li Tong answered quickly.
"I've only been here for less than a month and I'm not very familiar with it."
Looking at the other person's expression when he heard the answer, he seemed to have no doubt about the authenticity, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
Ask questions to continue!
"Did Rensade behave abnormally?"
"Uh, I don't know him very well. I've known him for a while."
"Has anyone visited him recently?"
You cannot provide all of them with useless information, as this will arouse the other party's suspicion, and it will be of some value to give you a greater chance of survival. Li Tong thought for a moment and lowered his voice.
"Last night someone looked for him and came to me to inquire about his residence. I pointed him out." When answering, he glanced at the scattered body on the ground from the corner of his eyes.
The person opposite was tilted towards the corpse on the ground.
"He was not very lucky and was torn to pieces by Rensade last night."
Li Tong was stunned.
"Isn't this guy killed it?"
In his horror, he turned his head and looked at the corpse on the ground. The tragic situation was a pity. At this time, it was very close to the corpse and saw more details. His eyes suddenly stopped on the wound of the corpse.
The wounds of the corpse looked very rough, not caused by a sharp weapon, but should be the effect of brute force. The outsider could see that it was not done by the guy in front of him. Is it really as the other party said that it was Lenzadeh, but what is the motive for killing people?"
As if he heard the question in his mind, the man picked up a picture from the desktop.
"The secret is on this picture."
The animal skin drawings in front of me were covered with blood and almost turned completely red, but the animal skin and the good waterproofness of the ink used played an important role, and the content was still clearly visible.
It is clearly the picture, rubbing of the stone slab that the deceased showed when he found himself.
"Is it because the deceased asked Rensade for research materials on the power of the stone slab after hearing his words? Rensade could not produce it. The deceased thought Rensade did not want to share the results, so he threatened, which led to the two of them having a dispute. In the end, Rensade lost his mind and killed the deceased."
Li Tong quickly conceived what had happened here, and the other party's words also revealed some other information.
"Since the guy in front of him judges that it is related to the animal skin, he should also understand what the content on the animal skin is. Who is this guy?"
If he doesn't know the other party's identity, he cannot show that he knows the skin. Otherwise, all the lies he told before would be invalid. He pretended to be confused and reached out to take the skin and looked at it for a while and handed it back.
"I can't see that it's just a skin."
The person sitting at the desk was silent for a while, rubbed his eyebrows, and stretched his fingers towards the long sword placed on the table.
Li Tong subconsciously leaned back his body as he looked at the other party's movements until he confirmed that he had no idea of killing. He only felt relieved after picking up the two swords and returning them to the scabbard on his back.
Returning the two swords back to the scabbard, the atmosphere in the room became much more harmonious. At least you don’t have to worry about the sword on the table stabbing your heart at any time when you talk.
Chapter completed!
