On the surface, this matter is not complicated, but if you carefully consider the details, you will gain something else.

For example, why have all the captured victims been disposed of, but only the meat ticket of the suspected eldest lady is left? Moreover, it seems that she was not captured to test the medicine, because there is no orange elixir left on her body

Instead of having orange spots, his nose and face were bruised and swollen.

Besides, when Pei Renli and the others rushed over, the organization that made the orange elixir had completely evacuated. From the conversation between Anton and Ji Xiu, it can be concluded that they even hired extra people to deal with the aftermath, and they must be far away now.

Escape, missing the trace.

Now that everyone has evacuated, why not get rid of the meat ticket that is suspected to be the eldest lady?

Obviously, the purpose of arresting her is completely different from that of other victims.

So Pei Renli made a bold guess.

There are actually two masterminds behind the whole thing, or two groups of people.

A group of people are making orange elixir, probably from other places.

This can be seen from the fact that both Ji Xiu and Anton were paid to do the work, rather than being members of their own organizations.

The other group of people are from the local Muxing City and are high-level management. The two parties have reached cooperation in the form of exchange of interests.

The management team provided shelter and sent Chatin, the Sheriff of Xiacheng District, as the actual execution. Therefore, people often went missing in Xiacheng District but no clues could be found. This was because the current management provided help.

However, Chatin is most likely just a pawn. After all, if he knew that the group of people who made the orange elixir had evacuated, he would definitely not take the risk of letting Ji Xiu out, let alone go to check the situation himself.

Now that it has been analyzed that it is the result of the cooperation between two groups of people, the organization that produced the orange elixir has achieved its goal and retreated, and the purpose of the other group of people...

That is suspected to be the eldest lady's meat ticket.

Soon after everyone entered the guardhouse, she was picked up by a person dressed like a housekeeper. She was not a suspected eldest lady, but she was indeed an eldest lady.

They usually kidnap the children of powerful people for ransom, but considering that they can actually command people at the level of the Sheriff to serve as pawns, it is natural that the mastermind comes from the top of Muxing City.

Therefore, Pei Renli felt that the purpose of kidnapping the eldest lady was not the ransom, but to achieve some political goal through the act of kidnapping, and the eldest lady's family was probably the superiors of the mastermind behind the scenes. No matter how bad they were, they were equals.

, otherwise it would not be used this way.

Of course, in order to be concealed, the person behind the scenes would definitely not send a threatening letter to the eldest lady's home. They should pretend to rescue her so that the other party would owe him a favor.

To put it bluntly, it was a thief shouting to catch a thief, but I didn't expect that Pei Renli and the others would intercept him halfway.

If you say this, Pei Renli and the other four who picked the peaches first will definitely be chased by this powerful man in Muxing City. Even if they dare not move for fear of being suspected, there is still no problem in hiring assassins in private.

But there is no airtight wall in this world. Since he would choose the method of calling the thief to catch the thief, it means that he cannot offend the family background behind the eldest lady. Pei Renli also made everything clear to the eldest lady before leaving. I believe

As long as she goes back and talks to her family, she can find some targets.

Those who can get along with the powerful cannot be fools. If the suspected guys make some moves, they will be convinced of what they have done. That's why Perenli is not worried about being retaliated at all. Even if there is, it will not happen immediately.

Korra looked at Pei Renli and said in a low voice:

"You had a great time carrying that young lady on your back yesterday, didn't you?"

".…..What?"

I can't keep up with Korra's thinking mode. Weren't we talking about a very serious topic just now?

Holding her chest with her hands, Korra shook her head deliberately and said:

"You can carry me back to school when you get off the bus. I don't really want to walk. The crutches are too difficult to use."

"Sister, can you be more reserved? I was a little interested in you, but you are acting like a female gangster."

"Then it's agreed, you have to carry me back."

After saying that, Korra ran away...

There is no need to worry about retaliation. Pei Renli doesn't believe that Korra didn't realize that her purpose of running here was probably to let Pei Renli carry her back...

Forget it, after all, the ears were clear. Pei Renli changed his position and planned to squint for a while.

And the development of things is indeed like the old saying, good fortune never comes alone, and misfortune never comes alone.

"Do you have time? I want to chat with you."

Just after sending Korra away, Kaya found a seat next to Perenli and lay down too.

Yeah, it's definitely useless to take the opportunity to catch up on sleep.

Seeing Pei Renli open his eyes, Kaya asked a little worriedly:

"If we did that yesterday, will we be retaliated against?"

“…..”

If Korra is pretending to be confused, then Kaya is probably really confused.

Having no choice, Pei Renli had to cheer up and explain his analysis to Kaya from beginning to end, which reassured her.

Finally, Pei Renli added:

"What are you afraid of? I remember you are also a noble. Who dares to take revenge on you?"

Among the four, only Kaya has a surname, which means nobility.

By the way, the name Pei Renli is not understood locally as the surname Pei Renli, but is regarded as a whole without a surname.

"I'm just a small border noble. The vision of a powerful person in a big city like Muxing City is no different from that of a mud-legged guy from the countryside."

Regarding the topic at home, Korra seemed not to want to say more. She just laughed at herself and then fell into silence. After hesitating for more than ten seconds, she said quietly:

"Perrenli, do you think what I did to stop Korra yesterday was right?"

"What's wrong with this?"

"But……"

Kaya frowned, looking very embarrassed:

"I have very few friends, and your existence is very important to me. I don't want our relationship to crack due to these conflicts."

After working on it for a long time, she was actually struggling with this.

Because of the rumor of a curse, Kaya has very few friends or people who are willing to get close to her, which makes Kaya particularly cherish these friends who she can talk to.

Strictly speaking, no one was at fault for what happened yesterday.

Cora's idea was that a guy like Sheriff Chattin who helped others commit evil would not be spared death, and keeping him would give him a chance to take revenge on her, so of course he had to eliminate the root cause.

Kaya's thoughts are more abiding by the rules. The Sheriff is an official after all, and it's hard to say what Mu Xingcheng's reaction will be if he kills him casually. Therefore, Kaya is more inclined to believe in the law and convict Chattin through a formal trial.

It can be said that there is nothing wrong with the two people's ideas, but they are completely contradictory on this matter, so they appear to be contradictory.

Seeing Kaya so entangled, Pei Renli had no choice but to explain:

"Blindly accommodating does not guarantee that friendship will last forever."

He said:

"Everyone is different, whether it's thoughts or habits. For example, if you look at a well-dressed person and talks well, he might be a bitch in private. And look at me, such a handsome guy is not popular.

It is absolutely unacceptable.”

"Your metaphors are always like this..."

"appropriate?"

"I guess so."

"In short, because people have different ideas and habits, you choose to accommodate them because they are friends. But if you can accommodate them once or twice, how can you continue to accommodate them for the rest of your life?"

Seeing Kaya thoughtful, Pei Renli continued:

"The relationship between friends is not a relationship that can be maintained by accommodating each other. It is a relationship that can be maintained by both parties while maintaining their own ideas. Blind accommodation will make the relationship fragile. For example, once something touches your bottom line, you still

Can you continue to accommodate me?"

Even if this truth need not be said so clearly, normal people will generally gradually understand it as they grow up. Kaya rarely contacts other people and has almost zero social experience, so she is very worried because of her thoughts last night.

If you don't agree, you will lose friends.

Especially when she saw that Perrenli seemed to agree with Korra's actions, Kaya immediately began to wonder if she had done something wrong.

"Don't worry. From what I know about Korra, she doesn't take it to heart at all. You being so entangled will only make her uncomfortable."

"You've only known her for two weeks, how can you say you know her well?"

Having said that, Kaya's expression improved a lot, she must have figured it out.

Pei Renli is not very good at giving psychological counseling to people. Fortunately, Kaya is easy to explain, or the type that is easily fooled. However, this type is also easier to get into trouble, so when Kaya got up, Pei Renli specifically said

Saying, 'Come to me if you still have troubles'.

But having said that, although one can roughly guess what happened this time, judging from the more details and truth obtained so far, it is completely impossible to predict.

What's more, from the very beginning, Pei Renli had the feeling that he was being guided and controlled by someone. It was as if they were deliberately involved in the whole thing.

Who is this person?

Pei Renli felt that the most suspicious person was Korra.

They were all ready to rest in the hotel, but it was Korra who wanted to drag Perrenli to see the excitement of the fire. When they arrived near the prison where the fire broke out, Korra said she saw Ji Xiu climb over the wall and escape, but the others didn't see anything.

.

Noting these details, it is not difficult to guess Korra's role in inducing this.

but……

Why?

Pei Renli quietly raised his eyes and looked at Korra who was sitting on the edge of the carriage talking and laughing with Kaya. Perrenli couldn't figure out the reason why she did this.

Perhaps Pei Renli was overthinking, this induced feeling was an illusion, and the whole thing could only be considered a coincidence.

But Korra seems to be shrouded in a layer of fog that cannot be seen through, or maybe she is like an onion, wrapped in layers, making it difficult to determine what she is thinking.

The sample was too small, with only one time and no more clues. Pei Renli could not accurately judge whether his guess was correct. What was certain was that the situation in the Adventurer School did not seem to be as naive as he initially thought.

Or maybe, this girl really hides some unknown secrets, and we have to wait until later to observe...

Thinking of this, Pei Renli closed his eyes and seemed to finally be able to take a nap.

"Adventurers, Naspar has arrived!"
