Chapter 469 The Eyes of the Yao Clan

There are two common surnames for Jade Rabbit, one is Bai and the other is Yue.

The former symbolizes the appearance of the Jade Rabbit clan. Their fur is thick and white, and even if they are shaved frequently, this feature is still very clear.

Later it came from the cross country rabbit, which is a commemoration and worship of ancestors.

The criminal in the serial murder case is called Yue Mu.

Bai Ding knows it.

Yue Mu is the kind of rabbit person that everyone likes. He is tall and strong, has a hearty voice, and has an innate personal charm. If someone breaks out in a conflict, he is always willing to mediate, and everyone is willing to listen to his advice.

If Bai Ding is the shame of the Jade Rabbit, then Yue Mu is what the Jade Rabbit should look like in people's minds.

When in Crystal City, Yue Mu also helped Bai Ding a lot.

"The jams are about to rot. If you don't mind, you can eat them."

"The owner of the store gave me a lot of potatoes. You can try some, but don't expect them to be very delicious."

"Can I drink? Some?"

"Don't be afraid. Who beat you up? Tell me. We don't cause trouble, but we're not afraid of it either."

…

In Crystal City, Yue Mu is the big brother among the Jade Rabbits.

Bai Ding never thought that he would meet it again in Sanilo's prison.

Inside the square stone chamber, Yue Mu's hands and feet were locked with heavy iron chains, and the thick flail restraints made it very difficult for him to stand up.

However, Yue Mu still had that smiling face, and his snow-white front teeth showing through his gums made him look very friendly.

"Long time no see, Ading."

Bai Ding said: "Long time no see."

The Bai Ding now is no longer the confused blue running rabbit in Crystal City. It is an experienced journalist who interviewed and participated in the disintegration of the Shell People Tribe and also tracked and reported many dangerous incidents.

"I am here today as a reporter for the Sand City Newspaper Office to conduct a formal interview with you."

Bai Ding revealed his identity: "So, I will get straight to the point next."

"Okay, you have become a top figure too. That's great. It looks like there is a way out for the Jade Rabbit Clan."

The other party smiled and said, "Then ask."

"According to what I know, you had already bought a ranch and a restaurant in Crystal City, and you have a good reputation in the local area. Why did you suddenly move to Sanilo?"

Bai Ding held the notebook in his hand and looked into the other person's red eyes.

"There are only two reasons for moving: to pursue a better future and to avoid disaster."

Yue Mu moved his wrist and the iron chain made a clanking sound.

"I left Crystal City for the same reason as you did. There was no way out for me in that city anymore."

Bai Ding wrote it down on paper with a charcoal pencil and continued to ask: "Is it because of the management problems of the ranch and the hotel?"

"No."

The other party shook his head: "The cattle and sheep on the ranch are healthy and well. Although the restaurant business is not booming, it still makes a small profit. The problem is the Jade Rabbit people."

"Tribe members?"

Yue Mu showed an ambiguous smile on his face: "If you have checked, you should know. In Crystal City, almost everyone who has any issues with Jade Rabbit will come to me. Anyone who is in trouble, hungry, bullied, or commits a crime will come to me."

Bai Ding was also an eyewitness.

In Crystal City, Yue Mu is indeed a reliable big brother.

"If I only had to think about my own life, it would be easy. But in Crystal City, there are many jade rabbits who rely on me to keep them fed and have jobs. A ranch or a restaurant alone cannot bear such a heavy burden."

Yue Mu twitched his nose and said, "You brought some wine? Why don't you give it to me and let me have a drink?"

Bai Ding took out a wooden pot from the box and handed it to the other party: "Originally, it was forbidden to bring foreign items in. I thought of many ways before the guards agreed."

"Hahaha, Ading, who used to be timid and fearful, has now become very determined."

Yue Mu struggled to grab the wooden pot, bit open the cork with his rabbit teeth, and took a sip.

"Many things are changing, but the beer has never changed. It still tastes the same. It's great."

Yue Mu wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth with the back of his hand: "In Crystal City, everyone has too high expectations of me. This expectation will continue to increase, with no end. So I finally sold my property and went to Sanilo, hoping to live a quiet and simple life."

"I spent two good years in Saniluo. It is a city with many ethnic groups and everyone comes here to enjoy a leisurely life... Every day I bask in the sun, go fishing, and grow crops. With my little savings, I can live like this for a long time."

The smile on its face turned bleak.

“And then they found me again.”

"Everyone in Crystal City came to me and recognized me as their big brother. Ading, can you imagine? I was farming quietly, and one day a group of people came and shouted, "Big brother, we finally found you. Big brother, we will do whatever you say. We will listen to you."

Bai Ding recorded it quickly and sighed in his heart.

I didn't expect that being too outstanding would also cause trouble.

"You should also know that the Jade Rabbit Clan has always had a big problem. It is difficult for everyone to convince each other, and there are often internal fights, so the power of the entire clan is very dispersed."

Yue Mu played with the cork in his hand and said: "To solve the employment and survival problems of the Jade Rabbit tribe, we must bring everyone together. This has always been my idea. But I didn't expect that I would have to do this in the end."

"There is a supernatural union in Sanilo. The union can provide many job opportunities, which could have solved the problems of the Jade Rabbit Clan. We considered a lot of troubles, but in fact most of them are not problems. We only overlooked one problem."

"One of our own."

It grinned and said, "The biggest danger to us is from the local Jade Rabbits in Sanilo. They squeeze our living space and deliberately pick quarrels in various ways. The internal fighting among the Jade Rabbits has never stopped. The group headed by the four brothers Bai Jian directly demanded that we pay tribute regularly, otherwise we should get out."

Bai Ding's heart sank when he heard this.

In the eyes of the outside world, the Jade Rabbits are vegetarian warriors, descendants of heroes who speak up for the weak. However, the Jade Rabbits' aggressive and aggressive personality is very serious within the clan.

“Then there was a constant fight.”

Yue Mu said softly, "I'm in a difficult situation. No matter where I go, everyone thinks I'm the leader of this group. Saniro's city guards came to talk to me, the police station also called me to restrain my men, and Mayor Chapman also discussed with me... You see, that's how it is. Everyone thinks I'm the leader of Yutu, and this thing has become true."

"Later, conflicts between Yutu from other places and local groups became increasingly serious... The four brothers who died were all leaders of local gangster groups, which was closely related to this larger background."

Bai Ding asked, "So you killed them for nothing?"

"No, it's not me."

Yue Mu shook his head: "I didn't kill anyone, nor did I kill them. I don't know how they died. I only know that I slept for a long time that day, and then the city guards rushed in and arrested me for murder. They also found the bodies of Bai in my room. After comparison, they also found that my hair was left at the scene, stained with the blood of the deceased..."

"Ading, I hope you can help me find out the truth and clear my name."

…

After listening to Bai Ding's retelling, Yazdan asked, "Do you believe it?"

"I just think this is a bit strange. If he really wants to take extreme measures to kill his competitors, Yue Mu shouldn't take the risk himself."

Bai Ding said calmly: "As the leader of a group of Jade Rabbits, he can definitely arrange his men to do it. In any case, this matter is very suspicious."

"You are right."

Yazdan nodded: "At present, due to insufficient evidence, the murder weapon has not been found, and Yue Mu cannot be directly convicted."

"Where is the ghost?" Bai Ding asked, "Hasn't the ghost of the deceased been found?"

"The ghosts of the deceased are missing, and they are suspected to have been silenced. However, several eyewitnesses saw that the murderer of Bai Bu, Bai Xu, and Bai Jiu was a strange Jade Rabbit, who did not look like any Jade Rabbit in the city. The only one who had no witnesses was Bai Jian, who died in Yue Mu's house."

The police station in Sanilo continued to dig deeper.

On the night of the incident, Bai Jian and his four companions were attacked in various places in the city. Except for Bai Jian himself, the other three brothers were stabbed to death by daggers, but Bai Jian died the most tragically because his chest was pierced by some sharp weapon.

After being detained for three months, Yue Mu was acquitted due to insufficient evidence.

Most people in Saniro expressed understanding.

After Yue Mu was acquitted, the "Shacheng Dibao" officially reported this major case that shocked the Yao Kingdom.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

This time, Bai Ding served as the reporter, and completed the report article concisely and objectively, and also officially informed the world of the difficult situation of the Jade Rabbit clan.

At the end of the article, it is believed that the real murderer has not been identified and the investigation of this unsolved case will continue.

From collecting materials to reviewing manuscripts and finally publishing the report, Yazdan showed a calmness as if he didn't care.

This made Bai Ding feel strange.

"Mr. Yazdan, aren't you curious about the truth?"

"What is the truth?"

“…Who is the murderer?”

The magician shook his head. "That is a matter for the court and the police station. This murder case has come to an end. All the collectors have to do is make what they have collected public. That's all."

This time, Bai Ding rarely insisted on his own opinion.

"Mr. Yazdan, I still need time to collect more intelligence. You said that we, the reporters, use our reports to protect the interests of the Yao people. Finding out the truth of this serial murder case can reduce unnecessary panic and prevent future murders."

Yazdan had a strange expression on his face, as if he was puzzled and bewildered.

Finally he agreed: "I'll give you a month. After a month, the cross-border channel will be opened, and we will go to the Twin Snake Empire to report the situation there."

In the next half month, Bai Ding worked almost non-stop to investigate the life stories of the four dead people. The dead were all locals in Saniluo, and each of them had a group of followers, belonging to the local forces of the Jade Rabbit Clan.

What surprised Bai Ding was that the four Baijian brothers had been in prison before. They had criminal records for fighting and extortion, but they knew their limits well and were released after a short time.

Unlike Crystal City, the Jade Rabbits in Sanilo were more brave and fearless, especially the four Baijian brothers. They retained their fierceness but abandoned the tradition of speaking up for the weak, and were good at bullying the weak. The local Jade Rabbits either joined them or were exploited and bullied by them.

Several foreign jade rabbits, led by Yue Mu, were also injured by them.

After the death of the four brothers, the local and foreign Yutu people got along much better and cooperated with each other. Yue Mu opened a pub in the local area and his business was quite good.

The investigation was still fruitless.

…

Bai Ding visited Yue Mu privately and still refused to give up on this strange case.

"I said, this matter has nothing to do with me." The former elder brother said: "I will buy you a drink today."

In a corner of the tavern, two people drank ale in silence.

Looking at the booming pub, Bai Ding was a little dazed.

Not long ago, the boss here was a prisoner for a series of murders, but now everyone drinks here without any scruples.

Saniro's tolerance and psychedelic nature are truly incredible.

The two were just catching up.

Before parting, Yue Mu called it and gave Bai Ding a wooden box: "Ading, someone gave me something, please pass it to Mr. Yazdan on my behalf. Thank you for your hard work, I just want to live a simple life."

Bai Ding carried the box all the way back to the inn and handed it over to Yazdan.

Yazdan opened the lid and found something furry inside.

It was a white bunny head cover.

A hint of surprise flashed in Yazdan's eyes, and he touched the headgear carefully: "Amazing props... cross country rabbit... I didn't expect it to be here."

After touching it, Bai Ding realized that the fluffy headgear in front of him was actually the last piece of the three-piece set of the Off-road Rabbit Hero, and its value was inestimable.

"This item can also hide your identity..."

It was speechless for a moment.

With this item in hand, Yue Mu can kill the four Bai Jian brothers one by one without revealing his true identity and appearance.

Bai Ding was confused again: "If Yue Mu is the real murderer... why did he hand over the props? Wouldn't that expose himself?"

"Because this is the three-piece set of the Off-Road Rabbit Hero."

Yazdan looked at the item calmly, "I think that under the current circumstances, its owner should not come forward. It is most appropriate for us to offer this item to the gods."

"Finally, let me correct you on one point."

The magician looked at Bai Ding and said, "It doesn't matter who the murderer is. It is very important for this city that the four brothers were not found in vain."

This sentence was like a bolt from the blue.

Bai Ding suddenly understood.

What the courts and public security in Sanilor cannot do due to the law, the rabbit mask can do.

This is a result that the vast majority of people would like to see.

As for who did it, no one cares and no one wants to delve into it.

"Come on, let's go to the temple together and return this treasure to its rightful owner."

Yazdan wrapped the hood in a box.

…

Bai Ding knelt on the ground, looking up at the tall and majestic statue of God Yao. Gradually, his previous complicated thoughts and countless confusions calmed down.

What the collectors have to do is to make what they have collected public.

We have many more important things to do. We are the eyes of the Yao clan.

Bai Ding closed his eyes and prayed silently.

Lord Yao, the almighty God, please bless us and make our journey to the Twin Snake Empire go smoothly.

Thanks to: Crying Madman for supporting 1500 Qidian coins, and Yu Yu Du Xing for supporting 233 Qidian coins.
