In this study, a total of five people have appeared since Wu Chan entered until now. They are Xiao Quan, Lianrou, Wu Chan, Xiao Tianchou and the maid.
At this moment, there are only the latter three in the room - not even the housekeeper and the ten heroes guarding the city are qualified to stay in the study, so why should a maid
In order to obey Xiao Tianchou's orders at any time
wrong.
The maid did not come in at the same time as Xiao Tianchou. She came in with coffee after Xiao Tianchou rang the bell.
If Xiao Tianchou really needs the service of a maid, he can use the bell to be on call, so there must be other reasons for keeping the maid.
For a maid, hearing the city lord discussing with a stranger how to kill her biological son was tantamount to being exposed to an extremely dangerous secret. If the city lord had not told her personally beforehand, then she should be worried about whether she would be killed and silenced at this moment.
But Wu Chan noticed that the maid had no emotional ups and downs throughout the whole process, as if she already knew it. Anyone who has been in charge of D067 New City for more than 20 years must be extremely powerful. Such people have a common characteristic: they are as strict as iron. It was impossible to tell a secret to a maid. Even a maid who is qualified to attend bed.
Wu Chan had doubts in his heart, so he would inevitably pay more attention to the maid. After taking a few more looks, I really saw more problems.
It is also the key to seeing through her true identity.
When the small corpse wave approached in September, due to the panic caused by the large corpse wave in June, the situation in D067 New City became worse and worse. People were anxious, prices skyrocketed, and the refugees began to frequently cause trouble. When a zombie climbed over the Night Wall and entered the city, killing more than a dozen refugees living under the wall, it was like lighting a fuse, completely erupting the atmosphere of panic in the city. The refugees started a riot, and three hundred city defenders came forward to protect the city lord and quell the riot.
Wu Chan was among the onlookers at the scene.
The "city lord" is not only younger, but he can also stand up.
Because he is not the real city lord, but the city lord’s spokesperson.
The "city lord" is a man.
But, it looked like a man.
As an actor, Wu Chan was already well versed in various makeup and even disguise techniques after being trained by his senior brother Tang Zhan. No matter whether a woman is pretending to be a man or a man is pretending to be a woman, he will see through it.
After carefully observing the maid, he saw that she was the city lord at that time.
Is a maid qualified to pretend to be the spokesperson of the city lord
Obviously, she didn't.
Who has it
The three sons of the city lord.
If Wu Chan guessed correctly, this maid was Xiao Tianchou's daughter, but for some unknown reason, she had been pretending to be her son to the outside world.
Therefore, what Xiao Tianchou just told Wu Chan to kill was not his second child, but his second son.
Not a dirty joke.
It's a pun.
If he really wanted to kill him, it would be to erase his daughter's identity as the "second son". Wu Chan has even imagined a drama in which all three sons die and the illegitimate daughter takes power.
At the same time, this pun is the reason why the "maid" really stays in the study.
What Xiao Tianchou said to Wu Chan was actually to his daughter, to reassure her.
It seems that the father and daughter do not trust each other that much...
Xiao Tianchou asked Wu Chan how he could see through his daughter's disguise.
Wu Chan didn't need to explain to him.
After all, the appearance of his daughter in the study might be a flaw deliberately sold to Wu Chan by the scheming Xiao Tianchou, in order to test Wu Chan's logic and extract more information.
This city lord is very evil.
Seeing Wu Chan's silence, Xiao Tianchou knew that he would not get the answer, so he smiled again. Changing his face quickly is a must-have for every conspirator.
"Yao'er, since Wu Chan has seen through it, why don't you say hello quickly?"
The "maid" tucked her hair behind her ears and smiled: "Mr. Wu, my name is Xiao Qingyao. Although this is not our first meeting, please take care of me."
This girl is indeed as smart as her father said.
Wu Chan estimated that Xiao Qingyao had guessed how Wu Chan saw through her identity.
Wu Chan said: "I'm just the boss of the waste incineration station, but I can't take care of you."
Xiao Qingyao kept smiling: "Mr. Wu is too modest. An ordinary incineration station owner can't split the fangs of a whale-level monster, let alone bring back the complete Hell Mandala. But the Wu family can, right? "
Xiao Qingyao was able to investigate and find out that Wu Chan came from the "Wu family", which was normal. But what surprised Wu Zen was that she actually knew the "complete" Hell Mandala. Only very few people know that the complete Hell Mandala and the Hell Mandala can be said to be two completely different things.
Wu Chan said: "So this is the real reason why you sent more than a hundred troops to defend the city and were very polite to me. You were afraid that I wouldn't come, but you insisted on me coming."
Xiao Tianchou said: "If I don't invite you here, I'm worried that my two unsatisfactory sons will continue to do stupid things. After all, when people's abilities and ambitions do not match, they will always do stupid things. This It has nothing to do with age. These two idiots magnified their own advantages and completely underestimated their opponents. They relied on their status as the son of the city lord to ignore a man who could split the fangs of a whale-level monster. I am so stupid. I really doubt it’s mine.”
One of his sons hired someone to steal the fang knife.
One son hired someone to rob the hell mandala.
These two things will not determine who will become the city lord, but these two things are extremely valuable and are excellent gifts to win over powerful helpers.
D067 The capable forces in the new city must have chosen their team between the three sons and the old city lord early on. If you want to find a powerful helper to suppress your competitors, you can only collude with the forces from the outer city.
Obviously, this is an act of luring the wolf into the house.
And they are two different groups of wolves, because it was not one son who did this behavior, but two sons "coincidentally".
This is what Xiao Tianchou really called "stupid".
Wu Chan said: "Don't worry, as long as they don't mess with me anymore, I will treat it as if nothing happened."
Xiao Tianchou didn't believe it: "The blood flowing in your body is the blood of the Wu family."
Wu Chan said: "We are not bloodthirsty beasts."
Xiao Tianchou said: "Of course you are not beasts."
He paused, "You Wu family are the evil ghosts in this world."
Evil ghost
Wu Chan did not respond
Xiao Tianchou knew he had made a mistake and made up for it: "I'm sorry, I've said a little too much. But I think you will understand the mood of a father. No matter how stupid or incompetent he is, he is still my son."
Wu Chan said: "You are right. However, since you have heard so many rumors about the Wu family, then the Wu family should do what they say and never break their promises. I said that if they don't mess with me anymore, I won't look for them. If you cause trouble, I will definitely not trouble them. On the contrary, I will not be merciful."
After Xiao Quan sent Wu Chan away.
Xiao Tianchou did not leave the study.
Although he is in a wheelchair, he still has feeling in his legs.
At this moment, his legs were limp, as if their bones and blood had been drained away.
"As expected of the Wu family, he is so young and so terrifying."
he sighed.
A delicate hand was placed on his shoulder, comforting the old man.
"Yao'er, is Wu Chan telling the truth?"
Xiao Tianchou looked at the study door where Wu Chan left, as if he had just left.
"Everything is true." Xiao Qingyao said.
Since my daughter said, every word of Wu Chan is true.
That means every sentence is true.
The real reason why Xiao Qingyao stayed in the study was.
Her superpower is to detect lies.
