Chapter 123: Secret Investigation
Fan Bing and Wu Duo thought that the haunting was done seamlessly, and after staying in the dormitory for a day, they took leave to go out for lunch at noon the next day.
The two of them came to the most upscale restaurant in Zhuye, Lamb Tangxian, and someone invited them to dinner, but they didn't know that two people were following them ---- Xiao Gen and Ziliang, who were dressed in casual clothes.
After Fan Bing and Wu Duo entered the private room, the other three people also entered one after another, Xiao Gen and Ziliang sat in the lobby and watched them go in but didn't know who it was, because the two of them didn't know each other, Xiao Gen had an idea, and when Xiao Er was not paying attention, he pretended that Xiao Er was bringing water to the private room and walked in, listening to what they were talking about.
After entering, I happened to see someone toasting: "Brother Fan, Brother Wu, the two of you have made the Xia Mansion unpeaceful this time, and I, Kong Mao, have toasted you with a bowl of wine first to express my gratitude."
"Master Kong is too polite, although these few times are adventures, fortunately, our brothers have overcome many difficulties, and they don't know it, now many people in Xia Mansion are talking about ghosts, and some people don't want to do it anymore, haha." Fan Bing picked up the wine bowl and said.
"It's so good, see how arrogant that demon girl can be, dare to touch our brothers, and she must pay a heavy price. These times are all foreshadowing, the good show is ahead, come, in order to wish the success of future actions, let's drink a bowl together. The man who claimed to be Kong Mao said.
Seeing that it was inconvenient to stay for a long time, Xiao Gen withdrew.
Xiao Gen and Wu Duo immediately returned to the Xia Mansion and reported to Guan Ping. Guan Ping informed the hostess Xia Ji of what the two of them heard.
Xia Ji had long been suspicious of Kong Mao, but she didn't expect that her tolerance towards him did not bring any gratitude, but tried to bite back. The clamor for pretending to be a ghost is just a foreshadowing, and a bigger sabotage is brewing, and Xia Ji knows that she can't take it lightly.
"Mrs. Xia, do you want to arrest Fan Bing and Wu Duo, and you will know what they want to do after interrogation." Guan Ping said.
"No, if you startle the snake, there will be endless troubles. Besides, they may not know what Kong Mao wants. ”
"How's that good? What if what happens next causes a lot of damage? ”
With pretending to be a ghost as a foreshadowing, what kind of action will be taken next? It must be related to ghosts and gods, right? Natsuhime fell into deep thought.
"What kind of personalities are Fan Bing and Wu Duo? Which of them listens to whom? ”
"Fan Bing is ten steps long, his personality is very strong, he is very strict with his soldiers, but he welcomes his commander in every way, which makes people incomprehensible. Wu Duo is a recruit who came in last year, and he has a withdrawn personality and does not like to talk. It should be Wu Duo who listened to Fan Bing. ”
"In this way, you find an opportunity to send Fan Bing to do something, and then bring Wu Duo over, and I will ask him personally."
"Okay, then the next official will retire."
After an hour, Guan Ping took Wu Duo to the lobby.
"Wu Duo, do you know what you've done in the past few days?" Natsuhime asked.
"Mrs. Hui Xia asked, I haven't done anything in the past few days except for duty and training." Wu Duo didn't know that Xia Ji had irrefutable evidence of his pretending to be a ghost.
"You still have a chance to confess yourself now, don't wait for me to come up with ironclad evidence, you will regret it." Natsuhime said sternly.
When Wu Duo heard the hostess say this, he hesitated a little, but he still held on to the luck mentality, and simply remained silent.
"Since you don't want to confess, I don't want to talk to you more, you can see for yourself." As he spoke, Xia Ji took out her mobile phone, called up the part where he and Fan Bing walked out of the bamboo forest, and showed it to him.
Wu Duo was shocked, and knelt on the ground with a puff: "The master of Xianxia spares his life, I confess, I confess everything." "Where has Wu Duo ever seen this thing? I saw that every move of himself and Fan Bing inside was clear, and he was already so frightened that his soul was half scattered, and he already regarded Xia Ji as a fairy-like person in his heart, in his opinion, this kind of thing should not be a mortal.
"Then let me ask you, what are you discussing when you eat with Fan Bing and Kong Mao?" Natsuhime asked sharply.
When Wu Duo heard the hostess ask about today's noon, he was frightened again and overwhelmed, and he didn't expect that all his things would not escape the eyes of the master: "Master Xianxia, Kong Mao asked us to go to dinner at noon today, mainly to treat us for pretending to be ghosts a few times, as for the future affairs, Kong Mao didn't say much, only said that he would tell Fan Bing about something at that time, and he didn't arrange to play ghosts again." ”
"You have committed such a great crime, tell me what kind of punishment you deserve?"
"The master of Xianxia spared his life, the villain fell into Fan Bing's trap, and he threatened and lured me to do it."
"Now there are two paths in front of you, one is to be dealt with by military law, and the other is to make meritorious atonement and reduce punishment."
"The villain is willing to make meritorious service to atone for his sins, and everything obeys the master of Xianxia."
"Well, listen up: you still go back to your dormitory, pretend that nothing happened in front of Fan Bing and everyone, and Fan Bing must tell Guan Ping everything about you as soon as possible. You have to remember that you can't hide anything from me. Natsuhime said.
"Thank you, master, I will do it, thank you master for not killing."
After Guan Ping and Wu Duo retreated, Xia Ji fell into contemplation again: What is Kong Mao going to do? I didn't expect his influence to be so great, before Wang Xin and Li Wei, and now Fan Bing and Wu Duo, these people are still under the jurisdiction of Guan Ping, and there must be his people among these subordinates in Xia Mansion.
Xia Ji called Jiang Lu again and asked him to investigate the people in the mansion who were close to Kong Mao, and take out the list and facts to report to her.
After Jiang Lu investigated, he made a list, and made a table according to the degree of intimacy with Kong Mao, and after Xia Ji saw it, he asked Jiang Lu to find someone to secretly monitor the few people who were close to Kong Mao, and once there was any unusual behavior, report it immediately.
When it was almost evening, Uncle Xia Yu returned to the Xia Mansion.
"Madam, I heard that it has been haunted these days, you are not scared, are you?"
"Xianggong, the concubine's courage is not small, this little fight can't scare the concubine."
"Madame is really a heroine among women, but it's better to be careful. This matter has gone viral everywhere, and Lord Fan Rui recommended a wizard to me, and in two days the wizard will come to the Xia Mansion to exorcise ghosts to keep the Xia Mansion safe. Uncle Xia Yu said.
"Huh? Wizard please? Or was it recommended by Master Fan? Or don't you, wizards, can't we find them ourselves? Xia Ji was surprised, but she couldn't expose it at this time that someone was pretending to be a ghost, because she didn't want to show her phone to Uncle Xia Yu, and she didn't know how he would react, if it was a witchcraft, it would be too bad; Besides, even if there is no adverse reaction to the mobile phone, Uncle Xia Yu will arrest people as soon as he is in a hurry, but he can't alarm and escape the people who are hiding deeper and have new intentions.
The ancients were superstitious, and it seemed normal for them to ask a wizard to exorcise ghosts, but Xia Ji just wanted to give everyone a psychological comfort.
"Is there something wrong? People are also kind-hearted, there was a quarrel with Lord Fan in the hall a few days ago, and now Lord Fan's recommendation is also a gesture of goodwill, and it is inconvenient to refuse. ”
Xia Ji thought that Kong Mao had told Fan Bing and Wu Duo that a good show was ahead, and thought to herself, it was okay to see what tricks these people wanted to play, but they just had to strengthen their vigilance to prevent accidents.
