I looked at the box for a long time and couldn't help frowning.

There are traces of friction in all the key holes of the Qiyan combination lock, doesn't this mean that those holes and slots have all been used?

What does this lock represent?

I put down the lock and said, "Check it out for me, the source of this secret box?"

Once the detectives find any important clues, they 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, and it is impossible for the information not to be recorded.

Someone soon turned the information out: "Only the person who found the secret box is marked here, and it is Zhang Zishuo, a god explorer in the station." Nothing for the rest. ”

I couldn't help but pat my head: "Damn, I'm impulsive." ”

The station of the Detective Hand has been uprooted by us, and there is not even a living person in it, where can I go to find Zhang Zishuo.

At this time, Li Xiaomei walked 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 what happened to Mao Haifeng in the end." Or whether there have been large-scale fights between pirates. According to common sense, since Wang Zhi left a secret, there will inevitably be a fight between pirates. This information is important. ”

"I've checked information about Wang Zhi, and his pirate team used to be 100,000 at its peak. After Wang Zhi's death, most of these people submitted to Mao Haifeng. But Mao Haifeng did not become a climate in the end. I reckon there must have been a fight among the pirates. There may be some clue here. ”

Li Kitten and I searched for a long time and found nothing, Li Kitten couldn't help but shake his head and said: "The information is full of the deeds of Qi Jiguang and Yu Daxuan against the Japanese, and there are too few records of pirates." ”

I couldn't help but nod and said, "It's me who takes it for granted." Pirates are not a matter of publicity from any point of view, and it is impossible for official sources to account the infighting of pirates. These things can only be found in folklore. ”

Li Xiaomao said: "The record of Mao Haifeng in the data is that he broke through the Pinghaiwei camp of the Ming Dynasty as a supply base and plundered the coast. Later, Qi Jiguang and Yu Daxuan teamed up to recapture Pinghaiwei, but they didn't say a word about Mao Haifeng's fate, will he escape again?"

"Maybe!" I was a little too lazy to look through the information.

Just when I was at a loss, Lao Sha brought me back a person: "Wang Huan, don't say it, there is really a fish that slipped through the net, this person was brought back from the train station by us." ”

I looked at the frightened and pale face of the Detective and said, "What is your name and what position do you hold in the Detective Hand station?" ”

"I ...... I ......, "I haven't said anything about that person for a long time."

I picked up a cigarette and threw it over: "Smoke a cigarette and settle down." You just have to answer my questions truthfully. I promise to let you go, and if your answer is not satisfactory to me, then when will this smoke be extinguished. You're going to die when you want. ”

As soon as the man lit the cigarette, I was so frightened that I threw it on the ground, and I said lightly: "Lao Sha, light a cigarette for him." ”

Lao Sha picked up the cigarette and forcibly stuffed it into the other party's hand, the man was probably too frightened, and took two puffs of the cigarette before saying: "My name is Wang Xi, and I was originally the person in charge of the station." Ask whatever you want, right?"

I threw the information in front of the other person: "Where did this information come from, and where did that box come from?"

Wang Xidao: "These materials were all brought back by Zhang Zishuo, and he can be regarded as an old man in the station." Having been at the station for more than a decade, he was interested in the legends of pirates and studied them all the time. However, there was no one in the station to look for those things with him, and he relied on himself to inquire for clues. ”

I said in a deep voice, "Why is that?

Wang Xi shook his head and said: "It is only in the past few years that someone has studied pirates, who took pirates seriously in the past? What legends can they have?"

Wang Xi's words gave me a wake-up call.

As for the matter of the Chinese pirates, it is only in the last few years that people have paid attention to them, and almost no one has cared about the pirates in the past.

In ancient times, even storytellers seemed to have little interest in pirates, but the matter of occupying the mountain as the king was said vividly.

This is not to say that there are no legends on the seaside, but the change of each dynasty, or the appearance of fairy characters, is far away from the sea, and the stories are naturally relatively few.

I nodded, "You go on." ”

Wang Xi continued: "Zhang Zishuo collected a lot of legends and came back, but no one believed in those legends. Wang Zhi does have his own people, but who can believe that he made the matter of Jiaolong. To say, he spent a lot of money to buy firearms from the Franco, and it would be more reliable to form pirates. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but nodded: Wang Xi's thoughts can be said to be normal thinking, and in the absence of any evidence, no one will associate Wang Zhi with mythology.

Wang Xi saw that I didn't react, and continued: "We also persuaded Zhang Zishuo at that time to stop being obsessed with the legends of those pirates, and he agreed on the surface, but he never gave up in private. Until last month, right?"

Wang Xi recalled: "Yes, it was last month that Zhang Zishuo suddenly brought back a secret box, saying that he had found conclusive evidence that Wang Zhi had a secret treasure. At the time, I still didn't believe it, and I didn't report it. Who knows, Zhang Zishuo secretly reported the secret to the branch. ”

"I don't know how Zhang Zishuo impressed the branch director at that time, and the director directly passed the information he sent to the headquarters. Soon, an order was issued from the headquarters, telling us to keep the secret box close, sort out the materials, and wait for someone from the headquarters to come, and at the same time, I was also dismissed. ”

Wang Xi smiled bitterly, but I couldn't help but raise my eyebrows.

According to common sense, even if Wang Xi didn't report the clues found by his subordinates, he would just be scolded by Shangfeng, and at most he would be punished one by one. The direct dismissal shows that Zhang Zishuo's discovery has at least reached the level of a prefecture-level legend. Perhaps, it can reach the heavenly level.

Wang Xi continued: "After I was dismissed, Zhang Zishuo's status rose with the tide, and the entire station treated him as the new person in charge."

"At that time, I was still thinking that the sect would send an elite disciple over at most. When the time comes, I will look for connections, and maybe I can be reinstated. But I didn't expect that the Nameless Sect would send down an elder and four core disciples. ”

"At that time, I knew that I would not be able to turn over in this life. Sure enough, after they came, the first thing they did was to promote Zhang Zishuo to the head of the residence. ”

Wang Xi's words confirmed my conjecture, and the secret discovered by Zhang Zishuo was indeed beyond the ordinary.

Wang Xi continued: "But I didn't expect that after the sect elder interviewed Zhang Zishuo alone, not only did he not look happy at all, but he seemed preoccupied, and even many people went up to greet him, but he didn't say anything. At that time, many people were very dissatisfied with him, saying that after he made meritorious service, he forgot about his colleagues. ”

"That day, I paid special attention to Zhang Zishuo's room, and the light in his room was on all night. The next day, someone found out that Zhang Zishuo was missing early in the morning. Without saying a word, the elder of the sect issued a wanted warrant, and the whole city arrested Zhang Zishuo. ”

"At that time, all the disciples of the Nameless Sect went out to find Zhang Zishuo. We thought that Zhang Zishuo would not be able to run far, but no one expected that on the first day that the Nameless Sect pursued Zhang Zishuo, five people disappeared directly. ”

Ye Xun and I couldn't help but glance at each other: "How many people are from the Nameless Sect?"

I didn't pay much attention to the number of people in Wang Xi's words just now, I thought that the Nameless Sect was just an elder and four disciples, but now I see, those five people are just the leaders of the team, and the Nameless Sect should have dispatched a lot of people.

"More than a hundred!" Wang Xi said: "The elder of the Nameless Sect knew that the disciple was missing, and he was furious, saying that Zhang Zishuo had betrayed the Divine Detective Hand, and without even saying what the reason was, he issued a killing order, and he had to kill Zhang Zishuo. ”

"The disciples of the Nameless Sect looked for Zhang Zishuo for half a month, but not only did they not find anyone, but they also got a large number of people in, and in the end, even the elder of the sect died. ”

When I heard this, I couldn't help but stand up: "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 searched for the predetermined location, we found the Elder's blade. The elder is gone. Judging from the bloodstains at the scene, the elder should have been killed. ”

I frowned and said, "What do you mean?"

Wang Xi said: "After the disciples of the Nameless Sect disappeared one after another, the elder formulated a plan. After the disciples set out, report their location at regular intervals to determine where they are, or where they are missing. ”

"In the beginning, we reported the location every half hour. Later, the time for reporting became shorter and shorter, and 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 location of those disciples' disappearance. You must have gotten that map back, right?"

I rummaged through the information for a while, and finally found a map full of red circles. Wang Xi said: "Those places with red circles are the last places where the disciples of the sect disappeared. ”

I glanced at it roughly, those red circles looked disorganized, and I couldn't find any connection at all, could it be that Zhang Zishuo was randomly killing the pursuers?

I took the map and looked at it for a long time and said, "What clues are you tracking Zhang Zishuo based on?"

Wang Xi said: "That is, go to the places he usually goes, and find people who are close to him! Zhang Zishuo doesn't like to socialize with people very much, so he doesn't have many friends, and there are only a few places he often goes to, who knows how the disciples of the sect finally dispersed so much." ”

I frowned when I heard this.
