"It's here!"
Ruan Rong pointed to a grocery store not far in front, and said, "Then only their family sells white berries!"
When the word 'white berry' was mentioned, she slumped her shoulders and frowned, looking like she was in a state of weakness.
But the one who reacted more was Feng Xin next to him. Riding on the horse, his old face was black and green. He swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, but he still couldn't hold down the acid in his stomach. The left rear retched with a wow .
No way, who let Sun Shaozong observe for a long time, can only confirm that Ruan Rong's vomit and fruit residue are similar to seven or eight points. In the end, for the sake of safety, I had to adopt the most primitive analysis method - cheating Feng Xin. Eat and tell by taste!
So after some indescribable tests, Sun Shaozong finally determined that the assassins were eating a fruit called 'white raspberry', which was a special product of the neighboring country of Zhen, because transportation was very inconvenient, and there were only Available at two merchants.
One of them is a restaurant. Whiteberries have always been used to entertain VIPs and have never been sold. Considering that the assassins are unlikely to go to the restaurant in groups before the action, this grocery store in the north of the city, It should be the source of 'whiteberry residue'!
In addition, Ruan Rong also provided a message: As the two heroes of the six southern border countries, Zhenguo and Qianxiangguo have been mortal enemies for hundreds of years, and in recent years, Qianxiangguo has relied on Da Zhou to support each other. , there was a faint sign of annexing Zhenguo and dominating the southern border, which caused great panic among the ruling and opposition parties of Zhenguo.
Therefore, it is a reasonable inference that Zhen Guo's 'ranger' came to assassinate the special envoy of Da Zhou, intending to provoke the relationship between the two countries, and before he did it, he used the unique food and fruits of his hometown to thrive!
Less gossip.
But they said that everyone rode their horses all the way, and when they reached the door of the grocery store in the north of the city, Sun Shaozong ordered Feng Xin and others to wait on the street, then turned over and dismounted, and walked in side by side with Ruan Rong.
It is said to be a grocery store, but it is actually a three-story attic with a very large area. After entering the door, the shelves are also dazzling. Not only are there special products from the six countries in the southern border, but also the Great Zhou and Western Regions. The special area is like an ancient version of an international hypermarket.
Before Sun Shaozong could take a closer look, a shop assistant greeted him with a smile on his face, "Please come to the two guests! I don't know if you are looking at the eyes, I want to see what the trumpet has, or Already have something to love? We have a bit of a mess here, if you have something to love, just say a word to Xiao, Xiao Xiao can help you lead the way."
This guy is very sweet.
Sun Shaozong pretended to be casual and asked, "I heard you sell white berries here? It's the kind of fruit that is a specialty of Zhenguo."
"Yes, yes, you two come with me!"
The guy led the way, the two of them followed closely, and they came to a cellar after a while. They saw him bent over and grasped a red rope, took out a rattan basket from the cellar, and handed it to the two of them. Said: "Lord, look at the goods that were just replenished in the morning, and now there are so many left."
Sun Shaozong looked down, but saw that the bottom of the basket was sparse, only about twenty ping-pong ball-sized fruits. The red and bright ones were still breezing cold air, and they looked really gratifying.
Although this thing has the word 'berry' in its name, it actually looks similar to a lychee, with a hard shell on the outside and a small core inside.
"Yes, that's what it is!"
Ruan Rong exclaimed with joy, and then asked, "Man, did someone buy a lot of white berries at once from yesterday to today? At least enough for a dozen people!"
"This… "
She asked too eagerly, which caused the guy to be vigilant, looked at the two suspiciously, and said perfunctorily: "Master, we don't know how many things we sell in a day, I really can't remember... "
Halfway through the sentence, the guy suddenly straightened his eyes and stared at Sun Shaozong's palm - to be precise, at the broken silver in his palm!
Sun Shaozong threw the silver forward casually, and the shop assistant hurriedly held his hands in both hands, slightly tossed it, and found that there were at least four or two, and a face suddenly smiled like a chrysanthemum.
Sun Shaozong asked with a smile, "Should I remember now?"
"Remember, remember!"
The guy nodded his head like a chicken pecking rice, and said with a wide-eyed smile: "There was indeed a high-profile customer this morning, and he bought a whole basket of white berries without a word, and spent sixteen two or three dollars. !"
Bought a basket
That 80% should not be wrong!
Sun Shaozong couldn't hide his excitement and asked, "Then do you remember what he looked like? How did he dress? Was he a servant or the master? What direction did he go when he left? Did he take a car or walk?!"
This barrage of questions made the guy feel dizzy, but for the sake of money, he still tried his best to recall: "The man's appearance is nothing special, and he should be the servant of a big family. In a carriage, it seems to be heading north."
"Walking north?!"
Sun Shaozong is really overjoyed this time. The grocery store is already in the north of the city. If you want to search north, the scope will be much smaller!
After getting the affirmative answer from the shop assistant, he reached out and grabbed two 'white berries' from the rattan basket, and pulled Ruan Rong out of the door without looking back.
to the street.
Without saying a word, Sun Shaozong peeled one open and put it in his mouth, chewed the pulp, and spat out the core on the palm of his hand.
The guards were looking at it inexplicably, when they saw him move the peel and core in front of him, and said loudly: "Brothers, show me carefully! Later, everyone will split up and take the one north of this grocery store. All the yard, carefully look over it for me, and report to me immediately if you find similar peels and pits!"
The so-called 'yard' is the ancient garbage dump.
It has been seven or eight hours since the morning to the present. Normal people should not leave these garbage at home, so as long as they can find these peels and pits in the yard, they can find out where the assassin is hiding. !
Of course, if those assassins were so cautious that they didn't even dispose of the garbage, then Sun Shaozong could only inform the Qianxiang court of this information and let them conduct a carpet search.
It's just this way, it's hard to say whether the credit made by everyone is enough to make up for it.
