Ah Qi stared at the old man for a while.
But he still didn't find anything wrong.
However, he still nodded and said, "I will go and investigate in person later. I hope you are not mistaken."
"Don't worry, although I learned torture in the police department, I am also proficient in arresting and pursuing criminals.
If you observe carefully, you will find that this old man is actually not simple.
Look at him, his steps are steady, his breathing is even, and his eyes occasionally glance towards the back door of your headquarters.
It is obvious that this is a person who knows martial arts and is quite skilled.
Do you think that a person with great martial arts skills would fall to the point of selling pancakes
Although there are many people in this world who are tired of the world and hide among ordinary people, how could it be such a coincidence
I specifically asked about it, and he showed up on the second day after Mao Xian injured me.
So, if you say he is not in the same group as Mao Xian, I don’t believe it at all.”
Zhu Mingzhi said with confidence.
Then he turned around and sat back in his seat.
"Eat first! If there's any problem, you'll know when you go and take a look in the evening.
However, when you're tracking him, it's best to stay away from him.
This kind of old man is very vigilant. If he finds me... "
He didn't continue talking.
Even without him saying anything, Ah Qi understood the seriousness of the matter.
If he were discovered, he would either die or alert the enemy.
Ah Qi was worried, so he ate absent-mindedly, occasionally glancing at the old man.
Time passed slowly, the sun set, and the sky gradually darkened.
Finally, looking out the window again, Ah Qi discovered that the old man was already packing up, obviously planning to go back.
"Someone come!"
Ah Qi stood up and shouted outside.
"Sir!" A disciple of the Tianxiahui pushed the door open and walked in.
Ah Qi had already broken through to the ninth rank last week. Not to mention his close relationship with Yan Xiong, just based on his strength, he could be considered a middle-level member of the Tianxiahui.
Therefore, he is naturally qualified to lead younger brothers.
"Go find Ah Ba and ask him to guard the city gate for me for one night."
He was originally on duty at the city gate during the day, but because Zhu Mingzhi had something to do, he deliberately switched positions with the person on duty at night.
But now, he has something else to do, so he naturally cannot be on duty, so he can only find someone to replace him.
"yes!"
After his men left, Ah Qi looked at Zhu Mingzhi who was lying on his back on the chair.
"If what you said is correct, don't worry, I will introduce you to the gang leader.
In addition, you will also have a share of the credit.”
After saying that, Ah Qi walked out of the restaurant.
Zhu Mingzhi looked at Ah Qi's back as he left, thought for a moment, and stood up.
As soon as Ah Qi came out of the restaurant, he saw the old man carrying his load and walking towards the north of the city.
He was about to follow.
"You're going to follow me like this!"
A voice came from behind him.
He looked back and saw Zhu Mingzhi leaning against the threshold of the restaurant, looking at him with a playful expression.
Ah Qi frowned, "What should we do then?"
"I'll give you something!"
As he spoke, Zhu Mingzhi took out a piece of leather from his arms and threw it to Ah Qi.
Ah Qi picked it up and saw that it was actually a human skin mask.
“Sometimes, you have to know how to use tools!”
As he spoke, Zhu Mingzhi waved at him, walked past him and headed towards another street.
…
"Uncle Li, you're back. How did you harvest today?"
"Not bad, not bad, I made a buck or two!"
"So many! Are pancakes so popular?"
…
After greeting his neighbors, Uncle Li walked into his yard carrying his load.
In the distance, Ah Qi came out from the corner.
He frowned.
He still couldn't see anything wrong with the pancake seller.
Gurgle!
The courtyard door that the old man had just pushed open suddenly opened.
Ah Qi hurriedly hid back in the shadows.
After a while, he walked out from the shadows after an old man carrying candied haws walked away.
"Two old men..."
He narrowed his eyes.
Looking at the small courtyard, he had the urge to go over and find out what was going on.
But as soon as this thought came to his mind, he immediately suppressed it.
If there really is a problem, with my ninth-rank strength, I'm afraid I'll just be delivering food.
So, it’s best not to alert the enemy.
"Brother, what are you doing here?"
Suddenly, a voice suddenly rang out.
Ah Qi's eyes turned cold and his hand unconsciously grasped the knife at his waist.
However, when he saw clearly who had spoken, he breathed a sigh of relief.
"Little sister, it's so late, why don't you go home?"
He looked down at the little guy opposite him.
Opposite was a little girl of about four or five years old, with a pair of pigtails tied behind her head and wearing a small cotton jacket full of patches.
"I'm going to play with Grandpa Mao. There's candy at Grandpa Mao's house..."
The little girl said crisply.
"Brother, I saw you looking at Grandpa Mao's house. Do you know Grandpa Mao?"
She asked, tilting her head.
"Yes, I do, but I plan to visit him tomorrow. Little sister, are you going to find Grandpa Spear now?"
Ah Qi looked puzzled.
Grandpa Spear
His surname is Mao, and he has already determined in his heart that what Zhu Mingzhi said is right.
In addition, he was also extremely angry.
This spear offering is really arrogant.
Knowing clearly that Tianxiahui was looking for him, he didn't even change his last name. This shows that he simply treats Tianxiahui as nothing.
"Well, Mom said there's no food at home, so she asked me to go to Grandpa Mao's house!"
The little girl said simply.
Ah Qi's hand, which was originally extended to the little girl, suddenly faltered.
A wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and the hand that was originally reaching for her neck changed direction and touched her head.
"Little sister, your grandfather Spear and I are friends, but I plan to visit him again tomorrow. Can you keep it a secret for me and not tell him that we have met?"
He said with a smile on his face.
"Why? You know each other, why don't you go meet now?"
The little girl asked curiously.
"Because my brother plans to give them a surprise!"
Ah Qi said.
"I see. Just like my mother buys me a gift during the Chinese New Year, does my brother also have to buy a gift for Grandpa Mao?"
The little girl looked like I know.
“Yes, my brother wants to buy him a gift, but now it’s evening and the gift can’t be bought, so I can only give it to him tomorrow.
So, little sister, can you keep a secret for me
If you can keep a secret for me, I will give you a treasure."
Ah Qi felt around his body and finally pulled out a jade pendant.
"Look, it lights up, do you want it?"
The jade pendant emits charming jade light in the night, which is very eye-catching.
"want to!"
The little girl nodded.
"Then remember to keep it a secret!"
Ah Qi said with a smile.
"Um!"
The little girl was attracted by the jade pendant in her hand and nodded seriously.
"Brother, I'm going to Grandpa Mao's house for dinner!"
The little girl shouted and skipped towards the courtyard.
Ah Qi stood where he was.
He looked a bit struggling.
Seeing that the little girl was about to approach the courtyard, he suddenly jumped out, picked up the girl, and without waiting for her to scream, he gently hit her head, knocking her unconscious.
Originally, he was planning to kill the little girl, but when he heard that her family had no food, his heart ached, so he gave up the idea and decided to let her go.
So he tricked her into keeping her encounter with him a secret.
But when the little girl walked over there, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
She's just a little girl, and it's really a gamble to expect her to keep a secret.
So, he changed his mind and decided to knock her out and bring her back to the Tianxiahui. He would report to the gang leader later and it would not be too late to let her go after dealing with Mao Xian and the others.
In this way, there is no need to kill her to silence her, and there is no need to worry about her revealing that she has seen him.
After taking a look at the courtyard, Ah Qi quickly went to the headquarters with the child in his arms.
"Stop, what are you doing? What's wrong with the child in your hand?"
On the way, a patrol team saw him running with a child in his arms and immediately stopped him.
"I am Hu Yidao, the guard of the East Gate. Please let me go immediately."
He reported the name Yan Xiong gave him after he broke through to the ninth level.
The Tianxiahui cracked down severely on crime in the city, especially things like child trafficking, so he was not annoyed by these people stopping him.
After all, running wildly while holding an unconscious child really makes one look a bit like a human trafficker.
