I looked at the box for a long time and couldn't help but frown.
All the keyholes of the Seven-Word Combination Lock have traces of friction. Doesn’t this mean that all the slots have been used
What does this secret lock represent
I put down the secret lock and said, "Check for me, the origin of this secret box?"
Once the detective discovers any important clues, he will focus on recording the source of the clues. Because the source of the clue may be related to the entire process of exploring the gods, there is no way it is not recorded in the data.
Someone soon dug out the information: "The only person marked here is the person who found the secret box, Zhang Zishuo, a detective in the station. The rest is nothing."
I couldn't help but slap my forehead: "Damn, I was impulsive."
We have uprooted all the places where the Detective Hands were stationed, and there is not even a living person inside. Where can I find Zhang Zishuo
At this time, Li Xiaomao came back with the information: "All the information I can find is here. What are you looking for?"
I flipped through the information and said, "I want to see Mao Haifeng's final fate. Or whether there was any large-scale fighting among pirates. According to common sense, since Wang Zhi left a secret, there will inevitably be competition among pirates. This information is important.”
"I checked the information about Wang Zhi. At its peak, his pirate team was said to number one hundred thousand. After Wang Zhi's death, most of these people joined Mao Haifeng. But Mao Haifeng failed in the end. I guess, There must have been internal competition among the pirates. There may be some clues here."
Li Xiaomao and I searched for a long time and found nothing. Li Xiaomao couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The information is all about Qi Jiguang and Yu Daqiu's anti-Japanese deeds, and there are too few records about pirates."
I couldn't help but nodded and said, "I took it for granted. Pirates are not something worth publicizing from any angle. It is impossible for official data to record the internal fighting of pirates. These things can only be found from folklore."
Li Xiaomao said: "The data record about Mao Haifeng is that he broke through the Ming Dynasty's Pinghaiwei camp as a supply base and plundered the coast. Later, Qi Jiguang and Yu Daqiu teamed up to recapture Pinghaiwei, but Mao Haifeng's There was no mention of his fate, could he have escaped again?"
"Maybe!" I was too lazy to look through the information.
Just when I was at a loss what to do, Lao Sha brought someone back to me: "Wang Huan, don't tell me, someone really slipped through the net. We got this person back from the train station."
I looked at the Detective who turned pale with fright and said, "What is your name and what position do you hold at the Detective Station?"
"I...I..." I couldn't tell that person for a long time.
I picked up a cigarette and threw it over: "Have a cigarette and calm down. You just need to answer my questions truthfully. I promise to let you go. If your answer does not satisfy me, then what is this cigarette for?" When the time comes, you will die."
As soon as the man lit up his cigarette, I was so frightened that he threw the cigarette to the ground. I said calmly: "Lao Sha, light a cigarette for him."
Lao Sha picked up the cigarette and forced it into the other person's hand. The man was probably too frightened and took two deep puffs of the cigarette before saying: "My name is Wang Xi, and I used to be the person in charge of the station. What do you want to ask? Just ask?”
I threw the information in front of the other party: "Where did these information come from, and where did that box come from?"
Wang Xidao: "All these information were brought back by Zhang Zishuo. He can be regarded as an old man in the station. After staying in the station for more than ten years, he is very interested in the legend of pirates and has been studying pirates. However, there is no one in the station. People look for those things with him, and he looks for clues on his own."
I said in a deep voice: "Why is this? Don't you want those clues?"
Wang Xi shook his head and said, "It's only in the past few years that anyone has studied pirates. Who took pirates seriously in the past? What legends can there be about them?"
Wang Xi’s words gave me a wake-up call.
As for the Chinese pirates, it has only been in recent years that people have paid attention to them. In the past, almost no one cared about pirates.
In ancient times, even the storytellers seemed to have no interest in pirates. On the contrary, the story of conquering the mountain and becoming the king was told vividly.
This is not to say that there are no legends on the seaside, but that each dynasty changes or the appearance of gods and figures is far away from the sea, so there are naturally fewer stories.
I nodded and said, "You go on."
Wang Xi continued: "Zhang Zishuo has collected a lot of legends, but no one believes in those legends. Wang Zhi is indeed a real person, but no one can believe that he caused the dragon. To say that he spent a lot of time It would be more reliable to spend a lot of money to purchase firearms from Folangji and form pirates."
When I heard this, I couldn't help but nodded: Wang Xi's thoughts can be said to be normal thinking. Without any evidence, no one would associate Wang Zhi with Shinhwa.
Seeing that I had no reaction, Wang Xi continued: "We also persuaded Zhang Zishuo not to be obsessed with those pirate legends. He agreed on the surface, but never gave up in private. Until last month, right?"
Wang Xi recalled: "Yes, just last month, Zhang Zishuo suddenly brought back a secret box, saying that he had found conclusive evidence that Wang Zhi owned the secret treasure. At that time, I still didn't believe it and didn't report it. Who I know that Zhang Zishuo secretly reported the secret to the branch."
"I don't know how Zhang Zishuo impressed the branch supervisor at that time. The supervisor directly passed the information he sent to the headquarters. Soon, the headquarters passed an order, asking us to strictly protect the secret box, organize the information, and wait for the headquarters Someone came and at the same time removed me from my position.”
While Wang Xi smiled bitterly, I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.
According to common sense, even if Wang Xi did not report the clues found by his subordinates, he would only be scolded by his superiors, and at most he would be punished one by one. Being directly dismissed from his post shows that Zhang Zishuo's discovery has at least reached the level of a prefecture-level legend. Maybe, it can even reach the heaven level.
Wang Xi continued: "After I was dismissed, Zhang Zishuo's status rose with the tide, and the entire station respected him as the new person in charge."
"At that time, I was still thinking that the sect would only send an elite disciple over. At that time, I would look for connections, and maybe I could be reinstated. But I didn't expect that the Wuming Sect would send down an elder and Four core disciples.”
"At that time, I knew that I might not be able to turn around in this life. Sure enough, after they came, the first thing they did was promote Zhang Zishuo to the head of the resident."
Wang Xi's words confirmed my suspicion. The secret discovered by Zhang Zishuo was indeed extraordinary.
Wang Xi continued: "But I didn't expect that after the sect elders interviewed Zhang Zishuo alone, not only did he not look happy at all, but he actually seemed worried. Many people even came up to say hello to him, but he was speechless. At that time, Many people are very dissatisfied with him, saying that he forgot about his colleagues after making meritorious service."
"That day, I paid special attention to Zhang Zishuo's room. The light in his room was on all night. The next day, someone discovered that Zhang Zishuo was missing early in the morning. Without saying a word, the elder of the sect issued a wanted order and the whole city arrested Zhang Zishuo."
"At that time, all the disciples of the Wuming Sect went out to look for Zhang Zishuo. We thought that Zhang Zishuo could not run far, but no one expected that on the first day after the Wuming Sect pursued Zhang Zishuo, five people disappeared."
Ye Xun and I couldn't help but look at each other: "How many people from the Wuming Sect have come?"
I didn't pay much attention to the number of people in Wang Xi's words just now. I thought that the Wuming Sect just came with an elder and four disciples. Now it seems that those five people are just the leaders of the team. The Wuming Sect should have sent out a lot of people. .
"More than a hundred!" Wang Xi said: "The elder of the Wuming Sect was furious when he found out that his disciple was missing. He said that Zhang Zishuo had betrayed the Detective. Without even giving any reason, he issued a kill order and insisted on killing him. Zhang Zishuo cannot."
"The disciples of the Wuming Sect searched for Zhang Zishuo for half a month. Not only did they not find anyone, they also hired a large number of people themselves. In the end, even the elder of the sect died."
I couldn't help but stand up when I heard this: "Zhang Zishuo killed the elder?"
"I don't know!" Wang Xi shook his head and said: "At that time, we only knew that the elder had not returned. When we found the elder's weapon according to the predetermined location, we found the elder's weapon. The elder had disappeared. We judged based on the blood stains at the scene , the elder must have been killed."
I frowned and said, "What do you mean?"
Wang Xidao: "After the disciples of the Wuming Sect disappeared one after another, the elders formulated a plan. After the disciples set off, they reported their position every once in a while to determine their location, or the place where they disappeared."
"In the beginning, the position was reported every half an hour. Later, the reporting time became shorter and shorter. By the time the elders were dispatched, it had become a report every ten minutes."
Wang Xi stood up and said, "We originally had a map that specifically marked the places where the disciples disappeared. You should have brought that map back, right?"
I flipped through the information for a while and finally found a map full of red circles. Wang Xidao: "The places marked with red circles are the places where the disciples of the sect last disappeared."
I took a quick glance at it. The red circles looked messy and I couldn't find any connection at all. Could it be that Zhang Zishuo was randomly killing his pursuers
I took the map and looked at it for a long time and said, "What clues are you based on to track Zhang Zishuo?"
Wang Xidao: "That is, go to the places he usually goes and find the people he usually has close relationships with! Zhang Zishuo doesn't like to socialize with others, so he doesn't have many friends. There are only a few places he often goes to. Who knows about the sect? How did the disciples scatter in such a large area in the end?"
When I heard this, I frowned.
