Tong Xi told Qi Rui that Uncle Xing was a jack of all trades here, and that no disturbance around him would escape his eyes.

But when Qi Rui asked about the bookstore, Uncle Xing also shook his head and said: "I have always felt that this bookstore is unusual, the shopkeeper has always been decent and black and white are not offended, and I have always been curious about the sudden disappearance." ”

"Isn't there a clue about Uncle Xing?" Qi Rui asked,

"Then I can ask you who the owner of the shop is, and if you believe me, the old man, please tell me the truth."

"They should be the Communist Party!" If Qi Rui wants to understand the truth, he must tell the truth, because in this way, he may be able to see something from the reaction of the torture uncle.

"It turned out to be a communist person! No wonder they've always kept a low profile! Uncle Xing said suddenly,

"Uncle Torture! Do you know of any other Communists here? Qi Rui asked again,

"In the past, there were Communist Party offices in several towns, but more than a month ago, the offices in several important towns were all empty almost overnight!" Uncle Xing said,

"Don't you know where they've all gone?"

"I've been secretly inquiring but haven't heard anything!" Uncle Xing shook his head and said,

"Uncle Torture! You can't even ask!? Tong Xi said hopefully,

Uncle Xing smiled and said: "So I was also very curious and paid special attention to this matter, although there was no direct discovery, but it was not without eyebrows!" Or maybe I think it might be something related to their disappearance! ”

Qi Rui and Zhou Zilu listened and asked in unison: "Uncle Xing!" What did you find? ”

"I found out that there were two third-rate swordsmen missing at the same time as those people in the Communist Party office! I found out that they were secretly hired by a mysterious financier! But it's been more than a month, and there is no news from these two swordsman groups! Just like the office of the communist order and the people in the bookstore, they disappeared! ”

Uncle Xing's words made Qi Rui and Zhou Zilu very interested, because the two of them knew that the office had raised a lot of funds for Yan'an here, could it be that their disappearance had something to do with that huge amount of money, and Qi Rui even suspected that some people in the office were interested in getting rich.

Qi Rui and Zhou Zilu basically have the same thoughts, because this kind of situation is probably only possible for their own people, in order to delay time, they have always maintained contact with Yan'an.

Of course, this is all Qi Rui and Zhou Zilu's speculation, what is going on needs further investigation, but the head of Yan'an has repeatedly emphasized that the comrades in these offices can definitely withstand any test!

Therefore, Qi Rui and Zhou Zilu both felt that this matter required an in-depth and careful investigation, and they must not wronged any comrade, nor could they let go of any bad guy.

"Third-rate knife group!? How many people are there? Zhou Zilu asked,

Xing Bo took a sip of milk tea, and then said: "There are many knife groups outside Jiayuguan City, in fact, they are bodyguards, the strength of the first-class knife group is relatively large, and it is generally very guaranteed to hire them to escort the goods, and the strength of the second-rate knife group is slightly worse, but because they dare to kill and fight, there are many merchants who are willing to hire them." ”

"What about the third-rate swordsmen?" Tong Xi asked,

"The strength of the third-rate knife group is much worse! However, many times they will combine together in order to make money, because the commission is cheap, so it is not that no one hires them, and under normal circumstances, the number of third-rate knife customers will not exceed thirty people! ”

"In other words, there are about sixty people in the two third-rate swordsman groups?" Qi Rui is very strange, because there are more than sixty people, how can he say that it is gone.

"I've inquired, a total of fifty-two people from these two swordsman groups have been hired, and the price given is that of a first-class mercenary group! So you should also be able to think that this trip is probably a terrible job! He said,

"Why do you say that?" Qi Rui asked,

"In the desert of the Western Regions, there are bandits and robbers everywhere, and many of them are strong, and the first-class swordsmen are usually not easily provoked because of the large number of people, but the swordsmen of fifty or sixty people are not enough to stuff their teeth in the eyes of many bandits." Uncle Xing said,

Qi Rui and they did not encounter any bandits and robbers all the way from Xi'an to Jiayuguan, listening to the meaning of Uncle Xing's speech, Qi Rui asked: "Uncle Xing means that these swordsmen have left the desert of the Western Regions?" ”

"That's for sure!"

"Why so sure! Can't they go east? Qi Rui asked,

"If these people go to the mouth (the mainland), they won't go missing!" Uncle Xing said,

"Uncle Torture! What are the bandits who are relatively strong in the surrounding area? Zhou Zilu asked,

"If you walk along the ancient Silk Road, there are more bandits! And there are all races! Among them, the most powerful is the bandit group called the Bloody Hand Gang composed of Han people, they are very strong, as long as they want to rob basically do not run! They bandits never kill anyone! But only to the people of Belarus are never soft! He said,

"Why?" Normally, the Han people are the least xenophobic people, Qi Rui thinks there must be a reason for this,

"This means that the second strongest bandit in the Western Regions is not us Chinese, but a group of White Russian bandits who fled here, they were actually regular soldiers before, and they did such a thing after fleeing here!" And they're just evil! So! The Bloody Hand Gang will kill as long as they encounter the White Russian bandits! ”

"So the Killers aren't bad?"

"Haha, yes, it depends on who says that the merchants hate the Bloody Hand Gang, but the people who have been bullied by the White Russian bandits like them very much."

"Doesn't the local army care about the White Russian bandits?" Zhou Zilu really didn't expect that a group of fleeing people would be robbers, wouldn't they be looking for death.

"Officials and bandits collude!" Uncle Xing sighed and said,

"What do you mean, the local army supports the White Russians?"

"Otherwise you think they dare to be so arrogant!" Uncle Xing said angrily,

"Who's backing them?"

"Who else! Luo Junnan, commander of the local fruit army garrison! ”

"Luo Junnan!?" Qi Rui frowned when he heard this, because this person was Tong Xi's father's enemy.

"He's terrible now, he has more than 30,000 troops under his command! In the local area, it was forcible expropriation, and the people dared to be angry and dare not speak! Now here you are! Is it time for him to die? Uncle Xing asked,

"Uncle Torture! We're here for revenge this time! ”

"Good! Good! If your father is still here, Luo Junnan will never dare to do this! The villain has a good will! ”

"Uncle Torture! Rest assured! As long as it is a great traitor, my big brother Qi will definitely destroy him! Tong Xi smiled, because now it is basically certain that Luo Junnan, the great enemy of his father, is a big villain who is bad to the bone.
