"The men in the black T-shirt belong to one group, and the guy I met just now belongs to another group... Li Wanquan really didn't lie..." Lou Cheng ran away from Wanhe Street thoughtfully, temporarily putting the matter aside. In the back of my head, I went to the secluded and uninhabited place I found in my wanderings yesterday, and concentrated on practicing the word "Zhe" and Bingbu's unique skills, improving myself bit by bit.
At eight o'clock in the morning, he put away the shelves and returned the same way. When he passed by an early shop, he stopped and bought four big buns, the kind that you can see the oily meat filling after one bite.
Click!
He took a photo, sent it to Yan Zheke, "snickered" and said:
"I read the reviews on the Internet and said that the steamed stuffed buns in this restaurant are quite good. I just took a bite or two, and it really lives up to the name! But I dare not buy more, for fear of scaring the boss, so I can only eat one by one, and eat a few more."
It was almost dinner time there, and the girl quickly replied with a "dining table photo". There were a lot of dishes on it, including fried steak and beef brisket stewed with potatoes.
"Come on, let's hurt each other!" Yan Zheke said, "slamming the table".
Lou Cheng couldn't help laughing, his mood inexplicably improved, his appetite increased, he ate breakfast seven times in a row, and returned to the inn-type hotel where he was staying contentedly.
After more than an hour, Yan Zheke was busy with other things in the intermittent chat, and sent a video request, Lou Cheng long-awaited and chose to connect.
After a fleeting buffer, the girl appeared in the screen, wearing a nightdress with delicate collarbones, covered with a quilt with small fresh patterns, her hair was let down and loosened lazily behind her, no glasses on the bridge of her nose, her eyes Gu Panshenghui, so beautiful and pure that Lou Cheng couldn't take his eyes off him.
"Speak, why do you keep looking at me?" Yan Zheke raised her chin slightly, and tilted her head with a smile on her lips.
"Because you look good." Lou Cheng smiled half jokingly and half sincerely.
Yan Zheke frowned upon hearing this, and spat:
"Flastic..."
The two flirted for a while, the girl was concerned about Lou Cheng's affairs, and changed the subject on her own initiative:
"Cheng Zi, did you find anything at Old Qiu Po's?"
"No, I met a 'peer' before I entered the house. After a few hands, I think I have already alarmed other people, so I left directly. But, judging from the situation in the yard, old lady Qiu is indeed like the one in the rumors. Same, more mysterious, somewhat eerie, weird..." In front of his daughter-in-law, Lou Cheng truthfully described what he saw and heard before.
"There was a fight..." Yan Zheke refined what she cared most about.
Lou Cheng coughed twice and said, "It's nothing, anyway, now is a society ruled by law, no one dares to hurt people casually, it's really just a few hands, there is no intention to kill... For others, it's a risk for a secret method. It's not worth the risk."
Especially since both sides are alchemy warriors at first sight, they must belong to the backbone of their respective forces. If something goes wrong, neither side will let it go.
And a secret method that says precious is indeed precious, but it can't be said that people will be imprisoned for half a lifetime for it. If it didn't involve the mystery of the golden core in the body, Lou Cheng might not even be interested in it. Some things are more embellishments , is the icing on the cake.
Therefore, he noticed that the black shadow earlier was obviously very restrained when he first punched.
"That's right." Yan Zheke nodded imperceptibly, turned her eyes up, and said thoughtfully, "Cheng Zi, you said yesterday that your master didn't care much about the 'Nine Characters', just to train you, wasting a lot of precious time , I think about it, it seems that there is something wrong... Your master can not care, what about the military? Aren't they also collecting the "Nine Characters" for research? Are you willing to risk losing the "Dou" until you are free? "
Uh... Lou Cheng was startled when he heard that, and the doubts hidden in his heart suddenly became clear.
yes!
"Yihou" and "Sinhuo Tianjun" and other seniors are very concerned about the "Nine Character Art"!
The military can't bear the "willful request" to train apprentices for the master, just watch helplessly that the word "dou" may be lost. The reason why they don't make any representations and don't intervene is because so far, things are under control
Those two groups of people are not considered big forces, and the military is sure to eat them to death
But shouldn't the focus be on Old Qiu Po? If this key person disappears completely, the military will catch him blind, right
They have not made any movement until now, because they have been monitoring the progress of the matter, have a grasp of the whereabouts of Old Qiu Po, and have guaranteed my safety. Before a certain degree of loss of control, they sold the face of the master and gave me exercise. Opportunity
Huh, so they must be waiting for me to ask for help, to come forward and settle this matter!
After thinking through this point, Lou Cheng understood the whole story:
I am like a child, under the "supervision" of the parents, playing a "game" that seems risky but is actually as stable as a dog, and the parents are complacently waiting for the "child" to ask for help.
As a "child", Lou Cheng suddenly had a strong desire to win, he wanted to do this well, he wanted to not rely on the military, and get the word "fight" before they intervene!
Can't be underestimated! Can't let "parents" get what they want!
Lou Cheng swept away his previous laziness, and told Ke Xiaoke his speculation and thoughts.
"Yeah, brother Cheng Zi, come on, don't let people from the military have a chance to play!" Yan Zheke clenched her fists and responded happily, deliberately encouraging her in a whiny tone.
Hey, I am indeed the IQ responsible for the family!
With the "supervision" of the military, she was completely relieved.
After Yan Zheke said good night, and was reluctantly dragged away by the Queen Mother to "warm the bed", Lou Cheng felt unspeakably lost again, settled for a moment, opened the notepad, and began to organize his thoughts by writing:
"My advantage is that I wear glasses, my hair is shorter, and I have disguised myself. Even if I have watched the broadcast of the national competition, I am not someone I am familiar with in daily life, so I will not be able to recognize me as Lou Cheng."
"The other two groups of people either don't know my existence, or don't know who it is, so they can fish in troubled waters."
"The disadvantage is that they hide in the 'shadow' and do not rely on military resources. They appear to be single-handedly. The speed and breadth of information collection are definitely not as good as those of the other two groups."
After listing these, Lou Cheng began to write about the possible ways to find Mrs. Qiu:
"First, through the official, through the police station;"
"Secondly, compared to Bai, the ancient city also has a dark side, and the news may be more well-informed. The locals have mentioned it several times before, and even Zhou Wei suffered from the old lady Qiu. Obviously, this is not an ordinary person. You can Check from this line;"
"Three, track the other two groups of people and take their information as mine. If they all have certain power, they will probably use official resources. The first article can be merged here;"
"Four, at five o'clock in the morning tomorrow, I'll go visit old Mrs. Qiu's house again, looking for clues."
After writing, Lou Cheng watched carefully, merged and diverged, and finally summed up three things to do today:
"One, find out who Zhou Wei is, and look for him secretly;"
"Second, the other group of people are relatively secretive, and there are no clues yet, but the man in the black T-shirt is on the surface. While doing the first thing, it is really impossible to find him and the few warriors who showed up yesterday. Follow the two girls in the back row, that guy is very interested in having an affair, maybe he will contact you;"
"Three, explore No. 15 Wanhe Street again."
After completing the plan, Lou Cheng took his mobile phone and wallet, left the room, and prepared to have lunch first.
In order to conceal his identity, he insisted on the style of "eat less and eat more". He wanted to distribute his lunch to different restaurants, just like yesterday, so as not to be found abnormal in his appetite.
...
After calling the teacher to ask for help, Hou Yulin took a nap, did his daily exercise, and walked towards the "Li Family Silver Jewelry" in the glare of the sun.
It is impossible for the elder to leave immediately, and he can't fly. He also has to take the high-speed rail and transfer to the bus. He is expected to arrive tomorrow morning. Before that, he can't do nothing and wait here.
The new expert who appeared last night should not be from there, otherwise there would be no need to investigate in the middle of the night. If he could find Old Qiu Po, he should have passed Li Wanquan, and he could ask about the situation from the silver jewelry store, so that one would be there tomorrow and the other would be there. Dark, hard to guard against.
Hou Yulin couldn't help shivering when he thought of the master he encountered at Lao Qiu's wife's house in the early morning. It was like a nightmare imprinted in his mind. Every time he recalled it, it was so clear and made people sweat.
What a terrifying powerhouse, if you can avoid it after asking...
Hou Yulin raised his head, glanced at the plaque that read "Li Family Silver Jewelry", and walked in.
The triangular-eyed Li Wanquan glanced at him, greeted him happily, and said expectantly, "What do you want to ask today?"
These foreigners, nothing else is good, is generous!
Hou Yulin took out his wallet, counted a stack of them, and handed it over. While complaining that the other party was behind the times, he couldn't scan the QR code to pay, and he was worried about monitoring. He asked calmly, "Who else came to ask Lao Qiu in the past two days? What about mother-in-law?"
Li Wanquan nodded happily and said, "Yes, yes, a young man came to ask about it. He looked twenty-three and four-year-old, wearing a white shirt, jeans, and a pair of large black-rimmed glasses. He smiled kindly. …”
The young man of twenty-three-four... last night he showed that kind of terrifying strength... Which faction's new genius is he... Hou Yulin thought about it, asked a few more questions, turned and left the silver jewelry shop.
When he came to the street, he looked around casually, instinctively looking for a man in twenty-three-four, white short shirt, jeans, black-rimmed glasses, and a kind-looking man.
Huh, there's one, uh, there's one, three, four...
Two streets away, Hou Yulin saw five similar people.
"It's really popular..." Hou Yulin complained, gave up searching, and began to suspect that the person Li Wanquan was talking about was not the master he encountered last night.
He should have specially hired a young man with no characteristics to ask, so as not to be exposed.
It's very possible!
This is in line with the profound horror of the encounter last night!
Hou Yulin looked away from the rice noodle shop next to him, where Lou Cheng was sitting, drinking the fresh and delicious soup quietly.
