Chapter 146: Seeing the Moon from the Clouds
Just in case, there are also people who go to check it out for breakfast.
Bai Qiuchi whispered to Yuan Fang, the dart head this time, and showed him a token.
Yuan Fang nodded, Bai Qiuchi and Xiaohuai exchanged glances, and left.
"Ah Huan has to go to work later, we don't have to wait for him." Yuan Fang said to everyone.
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi had just told Yuan Fang that he was in charge of letting him do another thing here, and he also took out the token, so Yuan Fang was convinced. This is the token that Twilight gave him in case of emergency, and this time it comes in handy.
He immediately went back to the place where he could see Chen Sheng's room and hid, he wanted to see who would come and take the two thumb-sized pearls to see if it was someone he knew.
In the past few days, Bai Qiuchi has already seen the portrait album given by Dusk Qing. The work of the dart board is quite special, so everyone has a portrait.
Not long after Yuan Fang and the others left, a person who looked like a small servant entered the room with a basin, as if he was going to clean it. After about a quarter of an hour, he came out.
Bai Qiuchi followed him without hesitation this time.
It didn't take long to simply clean a small room, but he left without cleaning the other rooms, which aroused Bai Qiuchi's suspicions.
I saw that this little guy observed no one around, and then entered a room, and soon he changed his clothes, came out with his luggage, went downstairs and told the store to check out, and then there was a little guy to check that there was nothing missing, and let him go.
The Moon Dart Bureau is in cooperation with the store, so the people in the Dart Bureau are very relieved and don't need to check it again.
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi lowered his hat and slowly followed.
This person is very laid-back, turning left and right in the market, as if he is shopping.
It's quite early, and many businesses haven't come out yet, but there are a lot of breakfasts on the street. He looked east and west, and finally walked to a bun shop.
"Boss, I want a bag of buns, half beef and half pork, help me pack it."
"Do you want to add sugar?"
"Salted buns dipped in sugar, the boss's taste is so unique?"
"The guest officer can try it." The owner of the bun shop smiled.
"It's fine."
The owner of the bun shop handed over the bag, and the man handed over the silver, and after the exchange, the man left.
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi didn't follow the man anymore, he sat down at the tea shop next to the bun shop, and ordered a pot of tea and a snack.
It turned out that when the two of them were exchanging things just now, Bai Qiuchi, who was sharp-eyed, noticed that a light different from a silver pair flashed in the morning light.
Although it was only for a short moment, Bai Qiuchi immediately judged that it should be the stolen pearl.
In this way, their strange conversation has an explanation.
What the hell is it that ships things so carefully? Bai Qiuchi thought secretly.
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi pretended to be eating while watching the scenery on the street, while paying attention to the steamed bun shop.
About half an hour later, a young man in black rode to the steamed bun shop and said, "Boss, I want a bag of steamed buns, half beef and half pork, help me pack it." ”
"Do you want to add sugar?"
"Salted buns dipped in sugar, the boss's taste is so unique?"
"The guest officer can try it." The owner of the bun shop smiled.
"It's fine."
----------------------------------
Exactly the same conversation!
Bai Qiuchi became vigilant for a moment, then checked out and got up, preparing in advance.
Before handing the bag to the man in black, the owner of the bun shop shook the bag and said, "The sugar has been put in for you." ”
"Good." The man in black nodded with satisfaction, didn't even get off the horse, just waited for the boss to come over and take the bag directly.
----------------------------------
At this moment, Bai Qiuchi's mind was running rapidly, not to mention whether he could get a horse or not, even if a horse followed directly, the target was too big and easy to be discovered. But I don't know where the destination is, if the road is very far, it is really difficult for Bai Qiuchi to chase the horse and run.
Bai Qiuchi hurriedly took out a small vial he was carrying, took out a small pill and flicked it in the direction of the horse, which happened to land in front of the horse. The horse smelled the taste and immediately lowered his head and ate it.
The man in black was paying attention to the boss's movements at the time, and did not notice that the horse had eaten "something that should not have been eaten".
He nodded and smiled with his boss, then turned his horse's head and left.
Fortunately, it was still in the street, and the man couldn't walk fast on horseback, Bai Qiuchi suddenly remembered the location of the dark brake that Ning Yue had shown him before, and decided to use the resources of the dark brake to complete this task.
The horses have eaten the special medicine of the dark brake, and they have that special smell on their bodies, and they will move a little slower. Bai Qiuchi remembered the physical characteristics of the man in black and the direction of going out of the city, so he probably also had a judgment, so he rushed towards a stronghold in the dark brake.
----------------------------------
When Bai Qiuchi took out the token on his body, Ah Xiang, who was guarding, was stunned, this token, then the person in front of him was like a fake......
The people in the dark brake were still well-trained, and Bai Qiuchi signaled that he needed help, so he immediately came back to his senses and notified the helmsman Ke Ci, who ordered Bai Qiuchi to quickly find the fastest horse and the mastiff eagle to raise.
The mastiff is not a Tibetan mastiff, but a bird specially cultivated by Darksha with particularly keen senses. It looks like an eagle, but it is not large, fast in flight, and has a well-developed mind.
Ke Ci gave Bai Qiuchi a brief lesson on how to build trust with the mastiff.
Because the mastiff eagle is trained by the people of the dark brake, the mastiff eagle is very familiar with the tokens of the dark brake, plus a string of code words that only the people of the dark brake understand, the mastiff eagle obeys the orders of Bai Qiuchi.
Bai Qiuchi took out the pill and gave it to the mastiff to smell it, and the mastiff flew forward, and he rode his horse to chase after him.
In order to keep track of the right target, the ingredients of each pill will be slightly different, and it can be said that it is not easy to do this with dark brakes.
----------------------------------
Speeding all the way, Bai Qiuchi slowly followed the man in black who had been walking for a while.
The man in black was still wondering why the horse was moving slower and slower, but after dismounting and checking it a few times, he didn't find any problems.
Could it be that the horses are tired from running around these days?
However, he still felt that he was not at ease with the things in his hands, and urged the horse to go quickly.
The special smell of this medicine specially made by the dark brake is actually very difficult for people to smell, and the horse is still quite energetic on the surface, but it just hinders the horse's motor function a little, and it will recover after about a day.
Fortunately, it happened to be raining in the past few days, and the ground was a little muddy, Bai Qiuchi saw some horses' hoof prints, so he got off the horse to observe, and found a relatively small and shallow trace of a step that was still very new.
It seems to be close to them.
As soon as Bai Qiuchi blew the special whistle with a dark brake, the mastiff eagle flew back and shouted.
This sound means that they are almost half a kilometer away.
The horses in the dark brake are also well-trained, and their footsteps are very quiet when approaching, so they are not easy to spot.
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi followed him like this, and he was about to enter the city again.
Bai Qiuchi said to the mastiff eagle standing in his hand, "You can go back!" ”
The mastiff's dark green eyes flashed, and he flew away a little reluctantly.
Miraculously, what the man in black is going to is the destination of the Moon Dart Bureau's trip - Liangzhou.
They took different paths from the dart board, so they didn't meet the dart convoy that went back.
----------------------------------
As for the situation on the side of the Moon Dart Bureau, the number was counted immediately after arriving, and sure enough, something was lost again, and everyone was very depressed.
It's obviously been so closely inspected, why do you still lose it?
Although the items lost each time are very small, they are great value for money and the value of the items is very high. Even if it is resolved peacefully, the reputation of the dart game will definitely be ruined in this way!
After discussing the compensation, the people of the dart bureau planned to go back to the hotel where they stayed last night to rest, and go back together while waiting for Bai Qiuchi to finish his work.
----------------------------------
I saw the man in black dismount and enter a teahouse.
Bai Qiuchi also dismounted and followed him in.
They all handed over the horses directly to the shopkeeper who went out to greet them, and went in. When Bai Qiuchi entered, he happened to see the man in black walking into a box on the second floor.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?" A shopkeeper said with a smile.
"Give me a bowl of rice and a plate of side dishes." Bai Qiuchi walked to the second floor.
"Guest officer, the upstairs are all boxes." The shopkeeper saw that Bai Qiuchi didn't order anything to eat, so he reminded coldly.
"So where is the hut?"
"In the yard."
"Okay, thank you." Saying thank you, Bai Qiuchi still walked to the second floor.
The shopkeeper didn't stop it this time.
After Bai Qiuchi left, the shopkeeper stuffed the tip in his hand into his sleeve, threw the rag on his shoulder, and happily went to greet the next customer.
"Guest officer, do you want to stay in the hotel?"
----------------------------------
Bai Qiuchi did something he didn't like again, that is, he hid and peeked and eavesdropped.
"Come on, Peng Shao, let's have a drink!"
"Boss Peng, don't be in a hurry to toast, let's return the things to the original owner first." Peng Shao, who was dressed in black, handed a small bag to Boss Peng and said, "Inspect the goods!" ”
"Peng Shao is really a real person." Boss Peng smiled, "I will put a hundred hearts in cooperation with you!" ”
Saying this, he still opened the bag, took out the two large pearls inside, and looked at them several times.
"Boss Peng, don't worry, take your time!" Peng Shao took a drink of his own and said with a smile.
"Hahaha, no problem!" Boss Peng put the pearls back in the bag.
"Will you cooperate next time?" Boss Peng asked.
"I'll get back to you if I get a chance."
"Peng Shao, we are all so familiar, tell me who the big boss behind me is?"
"I can't say that." Peng Shao smiled, "Actually, I don't know who it is." ”
"Really?"
"I haven't had direct contact with him, I don't know if it's a man or a woman." Peng Shao waved his hand.
"It's so mysterious!" Boss Peng also tried to say more, "Your business is not just me, right?" Is it just for the Moonfall game? ”
Peng Shao smiled and said nothing.
"All I can say is that there's so much more to us behind our backs than we think."
"It's kind of fun." Boss Peng smiled meaningfully.
The next thing is that the two are talking and laughing.
Bai Qiuchi found an opportunity to send a letter to Xiaohuai, saying that he already had eyebrows, and he wanted to continue to follow Peng Shao and let Xiaohuai and them go back first. Let Xiaohuai go to Twilight Qing to ask if there is any contact between the employers he asked him to investigate, and check on Peng Shao. Xiaohuai has news from his side to contact him at any time through the dark brake.
----------------------------------
After that, Bai Qiuchi followed Peng Shao to meet with several employers, and these employers did not hire the Moon Dart Bureau.
Bai Qiuchi judged according to the information obtained so far that "Zero" was linked one by one, and their black hand was not only aimed at the Moon Dart Game, it was estimated that other Dart Games were also beginning to be affected.
They should have used a method similar to hypnosis, so that different people on duty went to pick up the goods, and as for who got it, it is not known whether they were designated or not.
Then the next day, someone goes to collect the goods, puts them at a recycling point, and then gets them back to the employer by a character like Peng Shao.
In this way, the employer not only got the compensation of the dart board but also got the goods back, and the "zero" side, at present, only knows that it can ruin the reputation of the dart board, and I don't know if there is any other purpose.
In short, Bai Qiuchi planned to grasp Peng Shao's clue and continue to investigate.
