Chapter 419 Helping Tevarin
Xia Xi continued slowly: "It was during this process that I met Kaeya, Diluk, Barbara, Klee, Albedo and others. Among them, Diluk and the others provided me with great help in helping Tevarin."
help......
Everyone was silent for a moment. Did Xia Xi really think that waking him up was helping Tevarin?
And Diluk... You really can't judge a person by his appearance. It's hard to believe that someone who looks so upright would participate in such a chaotic act.
As if she didn't notice the strange reactions of others, Xia Xi continued, "After the matter was settled, my friends also agreed to help keep an eye out for news about my brother, so I prepared to leave Wendy and the others to look for someone else.
Then, Wendy recommended Zhongli to me, saying that he was old and knew a lot, and he might have clues about my brother. Unfortunately, just after I arrived at his place, I encountered a murder case, and I was almost locked up by Ningguang as a suspect.
If I hadn't acted decisively, and with the help of Tartaglia, I wouldn't have been able to break through the siege and have a chance to find clues to clear myself of suspicion."
Xia Xi whispered in her heart: "Looking back now, the days when Tartaglia reimbursed my expenses are really unforgettable."
Paimon nodded and responded in agreement, "That's right! Although the young master used the traveler to complete some tasks at that time, he was fooled by Mr. Zhongli in the end. It can be said that he lost both the wife and the army. However, I have to admit that the young master is indeed very generous when it comes to spending money."
Amuro Toru narrowed his eyes slightly: Tartaglia! A familiar name.
Soon, Toru Amuro remembered the information about Tartaglia: Tartaglia was Granlevee's former colleague and the last member of the Fatui of the Teyvat organization until winter. Toru Amuro remembered that his code name seemed to be "Young Master".
Toru Amuro still remembered that Granlevee's evaluation of Tartaglia was not very good: he said that Childe was simple-minded and his limbs were not well developed. He believed that Childe's strength was not outstanding among the Fatui executives, and even lowered the overall combat level.
Finally, I was glad that he was no longer among them.
The words were merciless and extremely sharp. Of course, Granlevee never said a good word about any of his former colleagues.
"Ah? Sister Xia Xi, you actually encountered a murder case at that time! This is really surprising! So, who was the unfortunate victim? Has the murderer been found? And what was the modus operandi of that murder case?" Upon hearing the news, Conan's eyes lit up instantly, and his little head immediately started to work rapidly. All kinds of reasoning and doubts kept emerging, and he kept asking a series of questions.
At this moment, Conan had completely forgotten Jundu's warning not to interrupt. He was full of curiosity and desire to explore this case, especially since this murder was about a member of the Teyvat organization that he had always been curious about. Conan was even more eager to get more information from Sister Xia Xi.
"I'm about to tell you this. It's not good for a child to be so impatient." Xia Xi ruffled Conan's hair and easily suppressed Conan's dissatisfied attempt to break free. "The victim is Zhongli, and the murderer is also Zhongli."
Toru Amuro, Sonoko Suzuki, Ran Maori and Conan Edogawa: "!!!"
They never expected that Xia Xi would give this answer.
Conan's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief, but he was not a real child after all, and he quickly recovered from this huge shock.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in his head, and he recalled that he had just met Mr. Zhongli in Osaka, and he was apparently alive and well, and nothing had happened to him. At that time, Sister Xia Xi and Mr. Zhongli had obviously known each other for quite some time.
In this case, there is only one possibility for this situation at the moment.
Conan took a deep breath, his eyes flashing with confidence, and said, "Mr. Zhongli committed suicide, and it was a fake death!" After saying that, he raised his chin slightly, as if he was full of confidence in the conclusion he had come to.
Amuro Toru closed his mouth, he was about to say something, and he immediately deduced the same result, but he was still a step behind Conan. He looked at Conan's concentration in reasoning, and once again had a clearer understanding of Conan's intelligence. He was really different from ordinary elementary school students.
"Conan, good, you think pretty quickly." Xia Xi confirmed Conan's guess. When Mao Lilan and Suzuki Sonoko were puzzled and eagerly asked Mr. Zhongli why he did this, she continued, "It's very simple, because Zhongli wants to retire, but he is worried about his..." Xia Xi thought for a long time and found a suitable adjective, "... company, so he wants to see if Ningguang and Keqing are able to deal with various crises without his help."
Xiaolan was still confused. She didn't understand, other than making those who cared about her sad, what positive effect could fake death have?
Yuanzi thought about her family's company and somewhat understood the reason why Mr. Zhongli did this, but she was also puzzled. She wanted to know whether her subordinates were capable enough to fake their own deaths? Wasn't he worried that he couldn't control the development of the situation?
Moreover, if someone with ill intentions knew about his plan, wouldn’t Mr. Zhongli be worried that his fake death would become a real death?
Judging from the past experience of her reasoning queen, Suzuki Sonoko, this is not impossible. To be more precise, the possibility is quite high. In the cases she encountered before, there were many cases where the victims were too clever and ended up providing convenience for the murderer, and finally killed themselves.
Seeing her friends' confusion, Xia Xi gave an example, "For example, Zhongli is the boss who controls the general direction of the company, while Ningguang and Keqing are the executives who directly contact and manage the company's affairs.
The company has been developing under Zhongli's protection and guidance for quite a long time, so Zhongli is somewhat worried that the company will fall into chaos after he leaves.
Therefore, he created a crisis in order to see with his own eyes how Ningguang and the others would react to the crisis when he was not around. This way, even if something unexpected happened, he would be able to show up in time and resolve the situation before it got out of hand.
"This is really too outrageous!" Sonoko widened her eyes, her face full of amazement, but at the same time she revealed deep doubts and worries.
