(The wrist hurt a little a few days ago, but I didn't take it seriously. The day before yesterday I couldn't bear the pain. It was like there were countless needles, and I couldn't even sleep well. After going to the hospital, I realized that my wrist was inflamed. After taking anti-inflammatory drugs and bandaging it, I finally got much better now.︽)

The relationship between people is always complex and simple. Sometimes you can easily believe in a stranger, but sometimes you will be full of suspicion and suspicion of familiar relatives and friends around you, and most of this depends on a person's personality.

Three days have passed since he moved into the manor villa in Linhai. During these three days, Xialan basically went out early and returned late. On the one hand, he was in-depth understanding of the recent big and small things that happened in Monterres, and on the other hand, it was an investigation into the intermediary businessman Diweit.

Xia Lan is a suspicious person. In other words, he is a person who only believes in himself.

He has made many mistakes, but no one is willing to make mistakes repeatedly.

The mysterious deaths of a group of pirates such as Brentin Gorge have caused a sensation in Monteres recently. Although it is rumored that the rebel pirates conspired to poison the captain and escape by taking the opportunity to escape, the Monteres Security Bureau has not announced the truth of the matter for a long time, which has led to private discussions and random speculations. Many pirates even cleaned up internally after hearing this, so as not to break out like Brentin Gorge.

These subsequent impacts were long as Xia Lan expected, but he did not expect that the Monterres Security Office was still secretly investigating the truth about Brending Goch's death. Through the intelligence dealers, he found that the clues of the Security Office's investigation were suddenly locked on his group, which was not good news.

There is no doubt that Brending Gorge betrayed his message before his death.

Xia Lan has long been used to it from the unplanned variables. He believes that the Monterres Security Office will come to them sooner or later, but at this stage he cannot be enemies with Monterres head-on, but he can still do it by cutting off some clues and creating illusions to mislead and delaying time. When they really come to the door, maybe he has left Monterres long ago.

It is not difficult to understand the investigation of the intermediary businessman Diweit, because he is a native of Monterres, and many intelligence dealers have complete information. Some intelligence dealers even dug out all the names of his ancestors, which also indirectly reflects Diweit's status among the intermediary merchants of Monterres.

He is a very principled businessman. During the transaction process, he will inquire about your information, but he will never sell any information about you. Of course, the most important thing is that he can always do the things you ordered to do perfectly.

He always looks alone, without relatives, friends, and subordinates.

Meaning. Being profitable is his personal label, but there will always be a steady stream of customers looking for his way.

He is used to enjoying breakfast in a teahouse in Changzhi District every morning. If there is nothing to do, he will sit in the teahouse all morning.

Someone once asked him why he was used to this?

He said that some people are used to drinking tea and some are used to drinking. Each of us is more or less a slave to habits. It is more stubborn than nature. If it is not curbed, it will soon become a necessity in our lives. At first, I didn’t have this habit, but one day when I was bored to observe everyone passing by the street in front of the teahouse, suddenly one day I found that I was used to this kind of life. Sometimes others would ask me, why did I succeed in the intermediary? It’s very simple, because I understand the essence and needs of the guests more than they do through my own observation of the guests.

Diweit gained his current status with his principles and observations, and Xia Lan wanted to know what kind of person he was in the eyes of the other party. Because he was very interested, he asked.

Xia Lan raised this question when delivering the last batch of demanded goods.

Diweit replied with a smile: "In the eyes of a profit-oriented businessman, our favorite is a guest who is generous and cares about money and only cares about results. In my eyes, you are exactly such a person. Is other reasons important?"

As for money to merchants, are other reasons important? Perhaps only the other party knows the answer.

Xia Lan did not ask in depth, but just gave her an intriguing smile.

Then, he hired a hiding thief to start secretly monitoring the other party.

The reason is very simple. He doesn't want Brending Gorge to happen again, even if what he said is true.

Winnie and Magnison showed a considerable degree of efficiency under the new alchemy materials. After all, they stayed in the underground warehouse from morning to night, and there was no other fun except for the things Xialan needed to make, especially Adelina, who was monitoring the whole process.

In essence, their lives are no different from slaves. After enjoying breakfast in the early morning, they will start making and researching in the warehouse until around the early morning, and supper will be delivered by servants. Xia Lan and Adrina are like supervisors, but the time they are responsible for is different.

When Xia Lan was in charge of surveillance, Winnie and Magnison would openly study Adelina's hair and blood, but the harvest was always unsatisfied with Xia Lan.

The housekeeper and servant of the manor villa were certainly surprised by the actions of Xia Lan and others, but on the surface, they always kept silent.

The servants and the housekeeper colluded with each other and had already shared the rent. As long as Xia Lan and others did not cause any major trouble, they would not care what the other party did. Sometimes Xia Lan's intentional or unintentional rewards would make the servants who served happy for a while, and they even wanted them to live in the villa for a longer time. However, this idea was not realistic. The real owner of the manor villa would come back sooner or later.

The quiet midnight.

Xia Lan came to the underground warehouse again.

Looking at Winnie and Magnison, who were tired and pale in front of the experimental desk, Xia Lan did not have any sympathy. After counting the potions completed today as usual, he reached out to make a "please" sign.

Winnie and Magnison looked at each other at the same time, and without saying a word, picked up the potion placed on the table.

There are three bottles of the same potion, and they will try a little bit of each bottle. If there is any problem with the potion, Xia Lan will immediately find that life and death are up to you.

Of course, this will not prevent the two from tampering with the potion, but Xia Lan has his own solution.

Through the introduction of the intelligence dealer, he found a senior alchemist in Monteres who violated the taboo of alchemy. Every time he asked the other party to help him identify the potion. If he encountered a potion that he could not identify, he would directly use a slave to directly detect the potion effect. Although the method was cruel, the effect was very good. Therefore, he discovered the dangers implied in several potions.

Single agents are harmless. If used with the agent, it will cause harm that is unfavorable to physical health, which can further lead to death.

Every time he encountered such a situation, Xia Lan would force Winnie and Magnison to drink the problematic potion. Looking at their faces with a pale face, he couldn't help feeling some inexplicable pleasure in his heart.

Torturing a person's body is simple, but torturing a person's soul requires skills.
