When a difficult problem has multiple solutions, people tend to look for the simplest one.
Little do people know that when they try to determine which solution is the simplest, they have often inadvertently increased the difficulty of the problem.
But Tarot couldn't find it, so the remaining two solutions were Fang Jue and Mo Qiusi.
In terms of difficulty, Mo Qiusi is naturally easier than Fang Jue.
Since Fang Jue has been identified as the murderer, both the Law Enforcement Bureau and the Grand Court must be keeping the strictest watch over him.
It was almost impossible to see him.
But Mo Qiusi is different. Even if his whereabouts are unknown, as long as he finds a key excuse, he can still take a gamble.
And Cheng Shi already has an excuse. As long as he properly processes or exaggerates this excuse...
According to the general thinking of people, they would probably try to meet Mo Qiusi first.
But Cheng Shi is not an ordinary person.
He gave up the idea of actively meeting the above two people, changed his mindset, and decided to let others come to him.
As for why he allowed them to come to him.
That is of course...
【When fear comes】
Cheng Shi walked into an alley and took out the semi-artifact in his arms in the shadows.
The enchanting red light was still as eye-catching as ever, the aura of [death] and [depravity] flowing through the tip of the blade, so strong that it was shocking.
The matter is actually very simple. If people still die in the town when the "real murderer" is arrested, it means that the arrested murderer is not necessarily the real murderer, and there is at least one murderer who is still at large.
Therefore, now we just need to find a lucky person to remove the suspicion on Fang Jue to a certain extent, and also stimulate Mo Qiusi's "passion" to continue chasing the murderer.
But who should I look for this lucky person?
Cheng Shi, armed with a weapon, wandered aimlessly on the streets of the town for a day, but still failed to choose a suitable target.
Until the moon was at its zenith, he returned to the outside of the inn and met the group of friends of the "bard" Athos at the door of the inn.
They were about to go out and fight somewhere else.
Cheng Shi smiled knowingly.
Look, isn’t it coming?
He quickly caught up with the men and listened quietly to their sighs from behind.
"After the murderer was caught, the nights became quiet. It was really boring."
"I miss the days when Athos was here. Although the stories he told were horrible, they were at least interesting."
"I suppose you don't miss Athos, but his money."
"Hahaha, same thing. Sigh, there's no big news to talk about. Drinking has lost some of its flavor."
"......"
These drunkards who like to watch the fun don't care whether anyone dies or not. All they care about is whether they can have some fun drinking and chatting with others.
If other people were present, they would inevitably look down on them.
But Cheng Shi wouldn't do that. He would just silently praise in his heart:
You see, this is such a good group of target customers that it even makes people give up the desire to kill them.
He gathered his hood and covered his head, then took two quick steps, passed the crowd, and stopped in front of them and looked back.
Several drunkards were startled by Cheng Shi's sudden stop. They stopped in confusion and asked:
"Hey, what are you doing? Get out of the way."
"Go away, you have no money; ask Athos for it; he has it."
"Who are you and what do you do?"
Cheng Shi's face was hidden in the shadow of the hood. He chuckled and stretched out his hand from the sleeve of his robe.
He was holding something tightly in his hand, but it was hard to see clearly in the dim moonlight.
Several people were not annoyed by Cheng Shi's silence. On the contrary, they found his behavior very interesting.
“What is this, what are you selling?”
"Want to challenge us? Do you think you can defeat five of us by yourself?"
"Hey man, open your hand and see what's inside. If it's good stuff, I don't mind paying a little money for it."
I've been waiting for you to say this!
Cheng Shi raised the corner of his mouth and said mysteriously:
"Of course it's a good thing. I'm an alchemist. This is a new drug I developed. I named it 'Drunkenness and Dreaming of Death'.
Just take one pill and you can immediately enter a state of 'dream death', which looks exactly like real death, and even the heart will stop beating.
Even the judges of the Grand Inquisition could not distinguish the true from the false.
but!
It is different from death, because in the state of 'dream death' your five senses do not disappear. You can hear the sounds around you, feel the touch of others, and even, if you can 'die with your eyes open', you can see everything that your open eyes can see.
The drug's effects last for 24 hours, and no external stimulation will break this state.
Create a death and then feel the panic of others.
How about one slice?"
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the breathing of the people in front of him suddenly become heavy.
The heartbeat as loud as a drum plays an exciting chapter in the quiet night!
Heart-beating!
So fucking exciting!
For a group of alcoholics who are looking for fun every day, this is simply a miracle drug tailor-made for them!
Indeed, it is tailor-made.
Edited by Cheng Shigang.
The sacrifice to nothingness once again creates a "sacrifice".
Originally, there were only a few candy beans in Cheng Shi's palm, but at that moment when these drinkers looked at them with burning eyes and heated breaths, the nature of the candy beans changed drastically.
"Living a life of drunkenness and dreaming of death" has been achieved.
"How much!?"
