Chapter 7: Don't Want to Beat People for Now

"No," Yeesha forced a smile, "let's go to Tolya, have dinner and drinks with him."

Hearing that he wasn't going to steal the bride, Andrei dropped the knife and fork in his hands with relief and invited, "Then eat with us first before you go over there!"

"No," Yeesha shook her head gently, "I have something urgent to tell Tolya and I'm in a hurry."

The knife and fork in Andrei's hand whooshed up to his chest as he asked sharply, "You're looking for someone to fight ..."

Ye Xia hurriedly shook his head at Andre, stopping him from talking nonsense, and by the way, glanced around, no one was around, and explained, "I don't want to hit anyone for the time being these days, I just want to understand the situation first."

"Understood." Andrei was relieved to hear that his best friend wasn't going to make a scene, "Wait for me."

Andre's parents greeted Ye Xia and called him in to join them for dinner.

Yeesha said, "No, I'm going to go find Tolya with Andrei for a bit."

Andre finished the steak on his plate in three sittings, then took two slices of bread with a piece of steak in the center and handed it to Yersha, then went to the back of the store to get his horse.

Ye Xia is not polite, while eating "burgers", waiting for Andrei ...

The six-foot-five, chubby Tolya was escorting a few guests out of the tavern.

"Tolya!"

Hearing someone call his name, Tolya first twisted his head before his chubby body rotated, and seeing that it was his two best friends, he hurriedly ran a few steps over and greeted them with a bright smile, "Ye Xia, Andrei, haven't seen you for some days, come, come, come, come, come inside and have dinner with us, I'll treat you!"

"Good." Ye Xia agreed, walking side by side with Tolya and Andrei into this tavern owned by Tolya's family.

Ye Xia whispered to Tolya as she walked away, "Let's go to your room first and talk to you about something."

"Okay, this way." Tolya guided Ye Xia and Andre to the backyard and into his room.

The three of them sat in the room, drinking tea, and Ye Xia briefly told about his sneak attack ten days ago, and then told about the object of his suspicion, and asked Tolya to ask someone to check the clues, and preferably to find out some reliable information by tomorrow night.

"Fuck him!" Tolya slapped the table vigorously, "If Joseph wasn't a Knight of the Holy Light, I'd take my men and cut him down right now."

Ye Xia reached out and pressed Tolya's arm, saying, "Keep your voice down so that no one can hear you. I just suspected that it was Joseph who attacked me, but it's just a guess, there's no evidence, that's why I asked you to help me find out. Even if I find out it was him, I won't go for revenge right away. I know that if someone dares to attack or even kill a Holy Light Knight, there will at least be a Primordial Angel to oversee the investigation, I can't afford to mess with it for the time being, and you guys don't have to help me out, I'll slowly think of a way to do it later."

"That's just it," Andrei spaced out and gave Tolya a false palm press, "don't get all hot and bothered, it's important to check the clues first now."

Tolya thought sideways and said, "If we give it time to look into it in a week, I'll have no problem arranging it; if we get a lead in time for tomorrow night, we'll have to call my father. You wait!"

Tolya, being a hothead, had just finished speaking and immediately stood up, took a few tight steps, opened the door and ran out.

Tolya's father, Bogdan, and Ye Xia's father, Yerofei, used to be comrades in arms, soldiers who survived that five-year war between the two camps of angels and demons together more than twenty years ago, and their relationship was ironclad. After the war, the two retired, Bogdan and his wife went to the town of Tasco to open a tavern, and Yerofei and his wife stayed in their hometown.

Bogdan used to be a soldier good at scouting, retired from the army to open a restaurant, his endowment has changed, his restaurant has not only become the largest restaurant in Tasco Town, but also become the largest "prying eyes" information collection and distribution center. For example, the restaurant waiter serving food will occasionally hear the drunken customers speak out some important information, the waiter will report to the proprietor of the Bogdan; Another example, the horse traders who traveled all over the world, come to the restaurant to eat, will be exchanged with the Bogdan "intelligence"; Also, come to the restaurant to eat are the income is not low or the power of the class is not small. Tasco town of dignitaries in the family who's the master of the man outside and who engage in extramarital affairs, who's the hostess of the family outside to raise a white boy and so on, these private information, Bogdan can get hold of ...

Bogdan followed his son Tolya into the room.

Like father, like son. Bogdan was two times fatter than normal, so Tolya, the adopted son, was already fatter than Ye Xia at such a young age.

Ye Xia, Andre and Uncle Bogdan greeted each other and the four of them took their seats.

Uncle Bogdan had something to say, "Yersha, you didn't even see who attacked you, so what makes you suspect that Joseph did it?"

Ye Xia politely smiled lightly, looked at Andre, and asked, "Andre, our family only moved to Tasco Town to live three years ago, the school where I studied with you was a commoner's school, and I hadn't even gotten to know Varya and Joseph, who went to an aristocrat's school, until I graduated. When I met Varya later, Joseph had long since left for military service, and I had never met or gotten to know him. But today at the Fiore church, I just kicked in the door and he was able to call out my name straight away?"

Andrei thought a little, nodded slowly and said, "Yes, that's right. I do know him, but you have only heard of him and have never seen each other. Even if Joseph his brother hires the best painter, he may not be able to paint your portrait like a real person. Joseph's behavior today is suspicious."

"Well, not bad, Ye Xia is not a simple minded person, from this little mistake of Joseph's, he was able to determine the most likely attacker. In fact, the day after you were attacked, after your father came to the town to report the incident, he came to me and asked me to inquire about who attacked you. I didn't have a clear target at first, so I had to arrange for someone to check from the people you knew, and then found out that the day after you were attacked, your female friend ... Your friend Valia reunited with Joseph on the shore of Lake Ina, and Joseph held a large bouquet of roses to ask Valia out every day from that day on. Unexpectedly, three days ago, it was immediately revealed that the two had arranged that they would have their wedding today. It was only then that I woke up to the need to focus on investigating Joseph. The result of the investigation was that, in fact, on the ninth day, Joseph had already disguised himself and secretly returned to Tasco town alone, and then in the afternoon, he went with his brother to hang around your village. On the tenth, Joseph left town early in the morning wearing a cloak and carrying a stick-like object wrapped in thick cloth. Later that evening, a man wearing a cloak, who could not be seen, and who was about the same height as Joseph, sold your horse in the town of Betafu, to the north, and then went to the inn that had been set apart for Joseph the Holy Knight of Light and his ten-man guard, and then never came out."

Ye Xia took a deep breath, looked at Uncle Bogdan, and said, ''It turns out that my father came long ago for you to poke around. When we entered the city today, we added to the report at the gatekeeper's office, and at that time I didn't know who the attacker was. Then I went to find Andre, and my father said he was going to pick up something. Wasn't he here today too? Did you tell him that you found out it was Joseph?"
