Chapter 641: Counting the Counts (1)
At the same time that An Xiao'an sent news to tell An Xiaoyu that Ning Lao Wei planned to sneak into the prison tonight to assassinate high-ranking officials, the first mysterious number also came with new news, and the consortium planned to blast the factory that produced the elixir tonight.
An Xiaoyu didn't expect that the factory that produced the elixir was still in the territory of Dongyun. Originally, I thought that after smashing the factory monitored by Gu Sanxun last time, the consortium should change the location of the factory, at least outside the provincial capital, but they actually played with a hand of darkness.
The high-ranking officials in the prison and the elixir factory, An Xiaoyu looked at the two messages on his mobile phone, and sneered, the Heart Dao Consortium is really calculating, starting from both sides to break the situation they are now controlling, it is really a good means, but they can't imagine that no matter which plan it is, it has been known by An Xiaoyu in advance.
"What do you think?" An Xiaoyu looked at Xu Hewei.
Xu Hewei sneered and said, "I'll be in charge of the body cultivation side, and you go to the elixir factory." ”
Originally, Xu He thought that An Xiaoyu cared about this matter just because the formula of the elixir came from Chi Mo's hands, and now letting An Xiaoyu take charge of the affairs of the elixir factory is the best division of labor. But unexpectedly, An Xiaoyu shook her head and said, "No, no, no, I'll be in charge of self-cultivation, and you go to the factory." ”
"Why?" Xu He was stunned for a moment.
An Xiaoyu said: "It doesn't matter whether the factory can prevent them from blowing up the factory, the important thing is that you can get the information inside the factory in advance, and then you can also get the evidence that the people of the consortium blew up the factory, this is an official struggle, just right for you." And lately, I've been a little interested in body training. ”
"When did you become interested in body cultivation?" Xu He was suspicious for a moment, and immediately thought of something: "The flame controller who appeared in Dongyun can't really be you, right?" ”
An Xiaoyu smiled slightly and nodded.
Xu Hewei was taken aback: "Originally, we also said that there are probably no demons in this world except for you, and now there is another one that will have a good show, but I didn't expect that the two demons are really the same person, how did you do it?" ”
An Xiaoyu explained: "It's nothing more than the detailed control of a divine soul, they are not as powerful as me than the power of the divine soul, and they are not as free as I am than the control of the soul, so it is normal for me to learn the means of self-cultivation, I am just curious, what is going on with their mantras and hands." ”
"I once heard that the mantras and hands of self-cultivation have certain rules, which are special symbols created by the ancestors of humanism, and through different combinations of symbols, you can get the corresponding interpretation, and according to the interpretation, you can control the corresponding means."
"Like self-hypnosis?" An Xiaoyu's eyes lit up.
Xu Hewei was stunned for a moment and nodded: "When you say that, it's really a bit similar." ”
"Hmm......" An Xiaoyu pinched her chin and thought about it, thinking of the few hands she had learned, and the only mantra, after all, she still didn't gain anything, shook her head and said: "The content mastered is still too little, let's see what surprises their assassination can bring us." ”
Xu Hewei nodded, and then went to dispatch troops. It didn't take long for him to almost take away all his own people here, quietly left the garrison in batches through the back door, and rushed to the factory address sent by Zhong Huaran one after another.
An Xiaoyu gritted her teeth, It seems that Xu He Wei regarded himself as an enemy of ten thousand people, and no one was left for him, but it didn't matter. According to Xiao An, the people they dispatched tonight were about four people, maybe one or two more, but the assassination could not be mobilized.
So An Xiaoyu hid in the garrison, hid her figure with tranquility, and stood outside the prison where those officials were imprisoned, looking at the people who were frowning sadly, she couldn't help but want to laugh. What kind of expression will they have when they see the body cultivator coming to assassinate them?
It's really exciting.
Xu Hewei took people to the address given by Zhong Huaran, and found that it was a pharmaceutical factory that Dongyun Ting was famous for. did not forcibly break in, Xu Hewei found a monitoring point next to it, occupied it in the name of the garrison, and began to drive the information network.
Spies are starting to enter the factory, and the reason is simple - raids!
Recently, the pharmaceutical industry in Donghuang has been very chaotic! There is actually a harmful poison on the market, and it is called an elixir, this kind of thing is produced, and it is sold to the driver, the upper echelons of the empire have begun to pay attention, how can our local court not cooperate?
Raids are a must!
Xu Hewei's people followed the inspection team into the factory, which was a half-truth. When the industrial and commercial inspectors of the temporary inspection entered the factory to inspect the various production items, the senior spies of the Ministry of Supervision showed their superb skills and qualities and secretly entered the factory's reserve warehouse.
According to An Xiaoyu's original idea, all the production of elixirs requires a large number of raw materials, and the sources of these materials are scarce, and the quantity is generally very small, so large-scale production will inevitably be accompanied by large-scale reserves, if this factory is really a factory for the production of elixirs, it will inevitably have a large number of raw materials.
However, An Xiaoyu and Xu Hewei also systematically re-investigated the raw material entry and exit records of related industries, and did not find any record abnormalities. This is also one of the reasons why An Xiaoyu and they once focused on outside the provincial capital, but they didn't expect that they were secretly Chencang.
The spy found a large number of production materials in the reserve warehouse, and the shipping dates on the packages of these raw materials were incompatible, and the sources were all over the empire, and the purchase records on them were not the purchase codes of this factory.
Shoot all of these, send the purchase code to Xu Hewei, and the technicians quickly analyzed that these purchase codes come from various factories in Dongyun, and the purchase time is almost all within the last two or three years.
Xu Hewei's fist slammed on the table: "No wonder you can't find their purchase records, it turns out to be like this!" So that's it! ”
Taking advantage of the scale of its industry, the foundation counted the materials needed to produce the elixir, cut the production output of the factories that needed these materials from factories in various places, and transported the saved materials to this factory for the production of elixirs.
Because the materials come from all over the place, and there is no money transaction, everything is an internal transfer, and you only need to erase the warehousing records, and you can get away with it, and no one knows what has entered the factory. And these raw materials are all sorted, transferred from different factories, and no one can find them uniformly.
As for the question of how to ensure the output of the factories that have been transferred materials, it will involve another production insider and economic scam. This scam is very common in the Empire, and it is a scam that both the factory owners and the Empire have tacitly assumed.
The content of the scam is probably like this: when reporting the technical indicators involved in the factory, the actual raw materials and losses are slightly inflated, and the reason given is to ensure that the normal losses will not affect the fluctuation of output and maintain the stability of the factory's production line. In this way, they can control the price of raw materials in the market by buying raw materials in large quantities, and then use the raw materials they have stored to plunder capital when the price of raw materials rises.
Of course, the operation of this means also requires the cooperation of various channels, such as when buying a large number of raw materials to control the market, it is also necessary to control the quantity of raw materials circulating in the market with suppliers, resulting in a hungry market. When the raw materials are sold again, the raw materials also need to be processed, because the reserve is expired and returned to the factory, and the cooperation of the raw material supplier is also required.
Because such a method is actually a normal capital operation, the empire also acquiesced in their approach, so such a situation appeared in all corners of the empire, and the reserve of various raw materials also became the normal operation of the factory.
And in this kind of operation, the economic giants take care of not only themselves, but also the senior management and some workers of the factory, raw material manufacturers, and a large number of officials involved, so the raw material reserve has become a part that everyone knows, but everyone will ignore.
It was under such unspoken rules that provided sufficient raw material supply channels for the production of elixirs, so that Xu He ignored these stored raw materials and shifted the target outside the provincial capital of Dongyun, if it wasn't for Zhong Huaran, they might have been kept in the dark until the end.
Xu Hewei sent the news back to An Xiaoyu's hands, and An Xiaoyu believed it even more, this mysterious number was Zhong Huaran. Because apart from the Zhong family, there seems to be no other force that can get so much information when cooperating with the Dongyun consortium, at least An Xiaoyu can't think of it.
As for why Zhong Huaran helped them and provided them with such news, An Xiaoyu felt that maybe Zhong Huaran wanted to retaliate against Dongyun's consortium, maybe because he was afraid that An Xiaoyu would retaliate against the Zhong family, or maybe because Xiao An ......
But what does it matter?
An Xiaoyu closed the message bar of the terminal and smiled slightly, only then did she really realize Zhong Huaran.
As for whether Xu Hewei plans to blow up the entire factory or keep this evidence, it is not up to An Xiaoyu to manage it, and it is good to let Xu He adapt to the situation when the time comes. The factory is not important, what matters is the research data of the elixir in the hands of the consortium.
As long as the materials are still in the hands of the consortium, they can set up a factory for the production of elixirs again at any time. The most important point is to catch the evidence that the consortium is going to blow up the factory, and only in this way can we really grasp the handle of the consortium.
An Xiaoyu watched the sun outside slowly set in the sky, the sun in the east in midsummer, setting extremely slowly, leaving a fiery red sunset in the sky, the red sunset through the window, illuminating the haggard faces of those high-ranking officials, making them full of tiredness.
However, at this time, all the lights in the house were turned on.
An Xiaoyu was almost startled, and the spotlights all shone towards the inside of the prison, illuminating the entire prison brighter than during the day. An Xiaoyu was standing next to a spotlight at the time, and she was curious about what was in this foggy cover, but she was almost blinded.
Quickly retreating two steps, An Xiaoyu retreated to the back of the spotlight, and finally began to understand, why the consortium was so anxious to assassinate these officials, not because of how loose these officials' mouths and how undetermined their wills were, even if they were cultivators, they probably couldn't withstand this kind of torment, right?
Obviously, with the acquiescence of Xu Hewei and the Ministry of Supervision, the special case handling is the main tone of this investigation, and such a method is not something that ordinary people can enjoy at ordinary times. An Xiaoyu looked at the high-ranking officials who were wailing and moaning in the prison, and felt a little false sympathy.
The time of the night passed quietly, and An Xiaoyu leaned against the wall next to the prison cell, not moving, because the room was so bright, An Xiaoyu didn't even open her eyes, closed her eyes and recuperate, waiting for the arrival of the assassin.
The bell rang at twelve o'clock in the evening, An Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, she felt the arrival of a breath, because she was afraid that her soul fluctuations would be detected, An Xiaoyu's feelings were not moved, but they were scattered around, and she did not take the initiative to control them.
The three breaths touched towards the side of the garrison, the three of them were vigorous, An Xiaoyu didn't even feel their figures, it should be the stealth spell that was doing tricks, and it was actually able to make the three of them eliminate their bodies together, An Xiaoyu couldn't help but begin to admire the means of self-cultivation.
The three of them came towards the garrison, and the remaining one stayed outside to respond, which was a good choice. But such a choice does not make any difference to An Xiaoyu. Just as they entered the garrison, An Xiaoyu raised his hand, and a steel needle flew out of the window silently.
Although body cultivation is sensitive to the power sensing of the divine soul, they are not so sensitive to the means used by martial cultivation, after all, their bodies are not strong, so the five senses are relatively duller.
The ghost cloud needle flew towards the outside of the window, as if riding the wind, and floated in the direction of the remaining person, and then turned a corner, stabbed it fiercely at an angle, and heard a slight shortness of breath, which randomly became silent.
Feeling that the energy and divine soul imprint that he had sealed in the Ghost Cloud Needle disappeared from this person, An Xiaoyu knew that his Ghost Cloud Needle had pierced this person's big hole, making him stiff and unable to move at all, according to the scale of the energy in the Ghost Cloud Needle, he could probably freeze him in place for a night like this.
Ning Laowei's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he looked around cautiously, and the companion next to him whispered, "What's wrong?" What did you find? ”
After feeling it carefully, Ning Lao Wei shook his head and said, "I seem to have felt a little bit of divine soul fluctuation just now, but I have never seen such a strange divine soul power fluctuation, it seems to be very small, and very fast, with a sharp edge, like a needle, but it is very weird......"
"It can't be your hallucination, right? You're too nervous. Another companion looked at Ning Lao Wei and said, then looked around at the surrounding environment, and whispered: "It's also the first time I've come to the garrison, to be honest, it's really weird and nervous, I always feel that someone is always watching us." ”
An Xiaoyu almost couldn't hold back her laughter when she heard their conversation.
The one in charge of giving them invisibility was impatient: "Okay, okay, this time it's really a blood mold!" I can tell you, my invisibility won't last long, and we'd better get things done quickly. Don't be suspicious, I also felt the soul fluctuation just now, maybe it's some special flying insect or something, and this situation has not happened before. ”
Although Ning Lao Wei was suspicious, after hearing the words of his classmate, he also nodded and said, "Then let's continue, hurry up and kill all these people, and then we can go back to the errand!" ”
The three of them all glanced at each other and continued to walk in the direction of the prison, but An Xiaoyu was still very curious, these officials who were locked up were obviously simple ordinary people, and the three of them, as cultivators, what means did they want to use to kill ordinary people?
You must know that cultivators casually take the lives of ordinary people, but they have to be punished by the heavens, is there no such taboo in physical cultivation? It shouldn't be! An Xiaoyu was curious, and continued to look at the three people, watching them quietly come to the side of the prison, and then Ning Laowei raised his hand.
Although they are all invisible, An Xiaoyu can still feel their movements through their senses, which shows that their invisibility is not a means to directly affect the existence of the outside world, but to affect the senses of people in the outside world, similar to optical camouflage.
Ning Laowei pinched a hand in his hand, and then raised his hand, An Xiaoyu saw that a wind wheel similar to a cutting knife appeared in Ning Laowei's hand, and the wind wheel cut towards the wall, and the entire wall was easily cut a crack, and there was no sound.
So there is still such a method?
Ever since An Xiaoyu learned the method of air flow to eliminate the moving sonic boom from the half-blood ability, she felt that air was really a very useful medium, but obviously, the use of this spell by body cultivation was more thorough for the power of the wind law.
Soon, a hole in the wall appeared large enough for a person to pass through, and a wind blade slashed through it, and the lock of the prison door was severed, and the officials heard the voice, raised their hands in front of their eyes, and were stunned when they saw the lock and the hole in the wall.
Randomly, a man rushed out of the cell, tried to open the door, saw that no guard had rushed in, and climbed out of the hole in high spirits, and then saw the wall not far from the cell, and suddenly the ground shook, and a staircase of dirt gradually took shape, all the way to the top of the wall.
An official asked suspiciously, "The barbed wire fence on the wall is electrified, right?" ”
The other said, "If they want to save people, will they ignore this?" ”
The others thought so, and An Xiaoyu rolled her eyes.
