The centurion felt sorry for the captain's haggard appearance and turned to look at Zhang Wei. This time, his attitude towards Zhang Wei was somewhat relaxed, mainly because Zhang Wei did not complain to Brother Nan after being blown away last time, which won the centurion a little favor towards him: "Do you know who did it?"

"I don't know," Zhang Wei shook his head and continued, "Samantha set up a defensive magic circle in the store, but there was no sign that the magic circle was activated, which means that the enemy quickly broke into the room. There was blood on the second floor, and the brothers who examined it said that the blood was Veronica's. There was a component of a coma in the blood. The preliminary judgment was that Veronica was hit by a hidden weapon coated with a coma and fainted directly."

"The door lock of Kelly's room on the third floor was kicked in, and there were smash marks on the door. Kelly must have tried to lock the door to resist, but the enemy kicked the door open. Kelly threw things at the enemy, but was finally abducted by the enemy." Zhang Wei reported the situation he knew to the centurion one by one.

"Have you found out how many people did it?" the centurion asked again.

"There's nothing we can do because it's been so long. We didn't go back the night of the explosion and the whole next day. The brother who went to investigate saw that the store door was closed and not damaged. He said he didn't knock on the door because he was afraid of disturbing my sister-in-law. Therefore, there's no way to confirm the exact time of the incident."

Zhang Wei added, "We also discovered the anomaly when we returned to the store, and quickly called the brothers who were good at identifying magic props to help us, and that's how we got this information. But the brothers also said that, first, we discovered it too late, and second, we didn't protect the scene well, so we couldn't find out how many people it was."

"Brothers can only preliminarily speculate that it is very difficult for one person to take away two unconscious women without disturbing the neighbors." Zhang Wei couldn't help but smile bitterly when he said this. He didn't expect that his home would be robbed, otherwise he wouldn't have left Kelly and Veronica in the store so easily.

"Why didn't you protect the scene?" The centurion frowned, his tone slightly blaming.

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "After we went back, we called out to people but no one answered, so we went all the way to the third floor and found that the door lock had been kicked in. The first thing I did was to tell them to stand still."

"I went out and asked someone to identify it myself, but that's it. Because there were our footprints at the entrance and the stairs, there was no way to investigate. Fortunately, we didn't go to the second floor, otherwise the small bloodstain might have been stepped on and disappeared."

When the centurion heard this, he knew that Zhang Wei was not to blame. Unless someone specialized in solving crimes, they would be alert when encountering such a situation. If it were someone else, no one would notice anything unusual at that time, let alone think of protecting the scene and not entering the house.

"So who do you think did it?" the centurion asked Zhang Wei.

Before Zhang Wei could answer, the sergeant interrupted and said, "Who else could it be? It could only be Sha Qiang! He has evil intentions!"

"Bullshit! Is it such a coincidence? That brother went to the dungeon that night and never came out again. Then there was a big explosion in the town, and then Zhang Wei's house was robbed. If Sha Qiang had this kind of brain, would he still be called Sha Qiang???" The centurion was very angry, because he felt that once his confidant got involved with the prostitute, his whole brain would be ruined.

"Then why didn't they explode first to lure us away, and then take the opportunity to kidnap my wife and her sisters, and then use the matter of the dungeon to confuse the public?" The captain was particularly dissatisfied.

"Isn't it normal for an adventurer to go into a dungeon and not come out for several days? Who knows if his brother is really in trouble or just faking it? Not to mention who knows if he is taking the opportunity to kill his brother to fight for the family property and then put the blame on us!" The sergeant became more and more excited as he spoke.

After hearing this, the centurion did not scold the sergeant anymore. Instead, he was so angry that he laughed. Although what the sergeant said about Sha Qiang taking the opportunity to kill his brother in order to fight for the family property was a bit ridiculous, it did make sense according to the sergeant's logic.

Now the tax collector took advantage of the Baron's absence and pressed him everywhere, claiming that the public security was bad, and insisted that he hand over the sergeant to settle the matter. Now, after hearing what the sergeant said, the centurion had an answer for the tax collector in his mind. That was why he stopped scolding the sergeant.

"By the way, Zhang Wei," the centurion changed the subject and spoke to Zhang Wei.

"Here!" Zhang Wei tried his best to stand at attention and salute, but the military posture was really ugly. At first glance, it was clear that he was a puppet soldier.

"Don't you have a subordinate named something, who is from the guild? Ask her to do something."

"You command." Zhang Wei's answer meant that he neither agreed nor wanted to know what the centurion wanted to do.

The centurion was just a warrior, so he had no idea that Zhang Wei was playing word games. He said directly, "Ask the guild if they can organize adventurers to explore the dungeon and find the whereabouts of Sha Qiang and his brother. I want to see them alive or dead."

"Yes!" Zhang Wei took the order and was about to leave. The centurion job was not something he had the final say on, so why not let Kida Kaori ask the guild? Whether it succeeded or not had nothing to do with him.

"No hurry." The centurion called Zhang Wei again.

"Yes!" Zhang Wei stopped, turned and looked at the centurion.

"If they say no, then ask the military if they can come in."

"Yes!" Zhang Wei did not leave this time.

"Okay, go ahead. Come back and tell me after you figure out these two things." The centurion waved his hand to signal Zhang Wei that he could leave.

Only then did Zhang Wei take the order and leave.

After Zhang Wei left, the centurion ordered the squad leader to do two things: first, to secretly find the whereabouts of Kelly and Veronica, and second, to secretly investigate whether someone deliberately provoked conflicts between the army and the tax officials.

When the sergeant heard this, he wanted to refute. He still felt that this was just a foolish act. However, when the sergeant saw the centurion staring at him, he had to accept the order and leave in disappointment.

"Impossible. You know the situation of the adventurers. There are already many conflicts. If the guild organizes all the adventurers to go down the dungeon now, it will be a matter of revenge. By then, many adventurers will be killed or injured, and the fundamental interests of the guild will be lost!" Kida Kaori directly denied the centurion's first idea.

"What about the second one?" Zhang Wei asked.

"I have to go back and ask about this. In theory, the dungeon is the private property of the nobles, so the nobles' army can enter. However, according to the agreement signed between the kingdom and the Adventurer's Guild, only adventurers registered with the guild can enter the dungeon, and no one else can. So, which has greater weight, private rights or the agreement? I have to ask this." This time, Kida Kaori did not immediately reject the centurion's idea.

"Okay, then let's go to the guild together and wait for your news." Zhang Wei said, and wanted to go to the Adventurer's Guild with Kida Kaori.

"This matter seems to be disadvantageous to us, why are you so active?" Mu Tian Xiangzi was puzzled. After all, they were also involved in the incident at this time. If they were really found out, they would be asking for trouble. Therefore, she did not understand why Zhang Wei wanted to push for an investigation into this matter.

"Because in that team, the warriors are at level 9, and the assassins are at level . Think about what this means. The current world rules only prohibit reaching level . In theory, any creature can reach the hero level . If you are a king or someone in power, and suddenly find that an adventurer has reached level or even level , what would you do?"

After hearing what Zhang Wei said, Kida Kaori trembled all over. She did not say anything, but instead pulled Zhang Wei to find the president.

President's office.

"Sir Zhang Wei, the information you provided is very important to us. This is your intelligence fee." The president placed a bag of gold coins on the table in front of Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei accepted it without hesitation. Although Zhang Wei is very rich, the goddess of economy and trade is like a big brother, always keeping an eye on Zhang Wei, limiting Zhang Wei's spending power, and preventing economic problems in his area from arising due to Zhang Wei's extravagant spending.

Only the wealth earned in his own world will be allowed by "Big Sister" to be used without limit by Zhang Wei. As for the wealth Zhang Wei brought from other worlds, there is a daily upper limit on the usage. Although it can be accumulated, it is only enough for Zhang Wei's personal daily expenses.

So for Zhang Wei, even though the landlord had a fortune, he could only watch as the key to the warehouse was not in his hands.

The president did not look down on Zhang Wei just because he had no reserve at all. On the contrary, he sat opposite Zhang Wei and said truthfully: "As you know, although the guild is an international organization, it has a lot of registered adventurers. However, the guild's own territory is very small, and its army can only operate within the territory."

"If the kingdom is determined to take action against the guild, the guild will have no better way to deal with it except to ask other countries for intervention. After all, no country will allow our army to go to war with a sovereign state." After the president finished speaking, he spread his hands, indicating that the current guild seemed a bit strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

"You forgot one thing. If the adventurer's level is too high and it is discovered, then not only the kingdom, but other sovereign nations may unite to suppress or even purge the guild. How will the guild respond then?" Zhang Wei didn't really care how the guild would respond. He wanted to find out more about the assassin. First, a Blood Moon Cult appeared in this world, and then a high-level adventurer appeared. There were too many unknowns, which made Zhang Wei feel insecure.

The basis of playing the pig and eating the tiger is to grasp the maximum amount of intelligence, including your own and others'.

The assassin's failure in playing the pig and eating the tiger was that his soldiers killed Zhang Wei, giving Zhang Wei a chance to counterattack.

Zhang Wei’s failure in his previous life was also due to his arrogance. He did not expect that someone would use magic that had lasted for decades to wipe him out.

Therefore, if he could not get detailed information about the assassin, Zhang Wei would feel uneasy. He now understood the feelings of those in power in his previous life. One high-level assassin whose details were unknown could make him scratch his head. What if there were ten? What if there were a hundred? What if there was a hidden organization specifically controlling them? Once these thoughts came into being, I am afraid that many intelligent creatures and forces would have trouble sleeping.

"What suggestions do you have?" The president threw Zhang Wei's question back to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei rubbed his fingers, indicating that he had to pay for his advice.

The president readily took out another bag of gold coins from his magic bag, put it on the table, and signaled Zhang Wei that he could take it directly.

Zhang Wei was not polite either. It was his style to take the money first and then do the work.

"It would be disadvantageous to deal with it directly now, and when lives are hanging by a thread, muddying the waters is the only way to have a chance to hold on to hope of survival."

"So..." The president motioned Zhang Wei to continue.

"You can't catch the wolf without giving up your shoes. It depends on what kind of shoes you think you should use." After saying this, Zhang Wei stood up and left, leaving the president to think alone.
