Chapter 42: Questioning Cao Changgong and surrounding the courtyard
The library is on the ninth floor.
The layout and atmosphere here and the floors below are completely different.
As soon as you enter the house, you can smell the quaint smell of books, which makes it easy to calm down.
Although there are not many people who are qualified to come to the ninth floor to read books, it is spotlessly clean.
The layout of the bookshelf is a very ingenious formation, Qi Hanhai is familiar with the way to push the bookshelf, and a door is revealed in an inconspicuous wall.
Then it was successfully opened after the fingerprint pupil comparison of Liqi Hanhai.
Cao Changgong was locked up in this place, and it was almost impossible for anyone to get out.
In fact, before Cao Changgong was imprisoned, this black room was just a secret room in the library to store important classics, because this matter was very involved, so Kong Chunqiu proposed to lock people up in this place.
The room was not big, and Cao Changgong closed his eyes and sat in the stream.
After hearing the movement, he opened his eyes slightly.
He obviously knew that they were not here to let him out, but he whispered, "Sit down." ”
Zhang Shan pursed his lips and smiled, Qi Hanhai gently tapped his shoulder, "I'm waiting for you outside, you hurry up, if you are bumped into by my teacher, it will be troublesome." ”
Zhang Shan nodded slightly, and then sat down.
"Vice President Cao, I have a few questions in my heart that I want to ask you, I wonder if I can answer them?" Zhang Shan was humble and polite.
"Interrogation is interrogation, why are you talking so high-sounding?" Cao Changgong said angrily: "If you have something to ask, I, Cao Changgong, am standing up straight, there is nothing to say." ”
"Okay." Zhang Shan said slowly: "On the day Wu De died, he left with his front foot, and you left with his heel, so it is convenient to tell me what you are doing?" ”
Cao Changgong said calmly: "I have already explained this question, confidential. ”
Zhang Shan asked again: "Do you not want to say it or can't say it?" ”
Cao Changgong said: "I can't say it." ”
Zhang Shan smiled and asked, "Does the Heavenly Master Association have a secret that Vice President Cao can't say?" ”
Cao Changgong sneered: "When the time comes, you will know." ”
Zhang Shan said: "It seems that Vice President Cao is unwilling to confide the truth easily. Well, I won't mention that question. Xu Shi made an appointment with you alone last night, what did you say, this can always be said, right? ”
There are only Zhang Shan and Cao Changgong in the entire Heavenly Master Association of the Longevity Boundless Banquet, and no one has ever asked this question, but Cao Changgong is also very calm, and said bluntly: "That old boy wanted to buy me, but I refused." ”
Zhang Shan stared at him, and he didn't have the slightest flicker in his eyes.
Is it refined, or is it really not lying?
After all, he is an old fox who has been mixed in the rivers and lakes for decades, and Zhang Shan can't figure it out for a while.
Zhang Shan asked again: "Someone covered the sky with one hand last night, did Vice President Cao notice it?" ”
Cao Changgong nodded, "I noticed that something was wrong with the celestial phenomenon, but I didn't pay attention to it, and later I learned that it was Song Huai'an and his wife who were intercepted and killed, thinking that they were afraid of being detected and rescued, so they covered up the heavenly opportunity." ”
Zhang Shan pondered slightly, "How many people in the imperial capital do you think can intercept and kill Song Huai'an and Master Qin Guan at the same time in a short period of time?" ”
Cao Changgong condensed and said: "There are only a handful." ”
Zhang Shan asked bluntly: "Does it include Vice President Cao?" ”
Cao Changgong couldn't help but laugh and said, "You doubt me? Not to mention that Qin Guan and I have been friends for many years, with the strength of my eighth-rank heavenly master, coupled with the realm of seventh-grade martial arts, it is very difficult to deal with Qin Guan alone, not to mention that there is Song Huai'an by his side. ”
This fact seems undeniable.
Zhang Shan didn't have any thoughts for a while, so he had to knock on the side and say, "Can Vice President Cao tell me the names of the few people?" ”
Cao Changgong said: "This is not a secret. It is nothing more than President Meng Qi, library director Kong Chunqiu, and one is Chen Pingzhang, the great master of the nine products of the martial arts of the rivers and lakes, among the imperial capital, there are only three of them, the first two are the core figures of our association, Chen Pingzhang is over ninety years old and has long stopped asking about the rivers and lakes, and it is impossible to make a move. Of course, if you have to say that it is me, there is a master above the seventh rank to assist me, and I can still do it. But I can tell you very clearly, it's not me. ”
Zhang Shan asked again: "Then who do you think it will be?" ”
Cao Changgong pondered: "I've also thought about it, maybe it's not from the imperial capital?" ”
Cao Changgong's breath was calm, and there was no sign of injury or emptiness of true qi.
If it was him who killed Song Huai'an and his wife and Qin Guan, it obviously shouldn't be like this.
He couldn't get the answer he wanted here, so Zhang Shan got up and said, "Disturb Vice President Cao's rest and leave." ”
Cao Changgong asked, "What's going on outside?" ”
Zhang Shantou didn't reply: "Confidential." ”
Cao Changgong secretly gritted his teeth.
I didn't expect that I, Cao Changgong, would be reduced to prison.
I just hope that the Heavenly Master Association didn't disrupt the plan. 88
Leave the chamber.
Qi Hanhai, who was watching the wind, hurriedly ran back to restore the formation to its original state.
He patted his chest, calmed down and asked, "How was the conversation?" ”
Zhang Shan shook his head and said: "Cao Changgong flatly denied it, if it wasn't for him to cover it up very well, it was the truth." ”
Qi Hanhai asked, "Which one do you prefer?" ”
Zhang Shan paused and sighed: "I can't say clearly, but Cao Changgong mentioned the word confidential, what secret tasks are there within the association?" ”
Qi Hanhai thought for a moment, then shook his head.
Zhang Shan pondered: "The Heavenly Master Association has been managed by Cao Changgong for the past few years, I don't believe that he alone can have any secrets. By the way, he just mentioned three people to me, President Meng Qi, as well as your teacher Kong Chunqiu, and Jianghu Grand Master Chen Pingzhang, what do you think of them? ”
Qi Hanhai said truthfully: "The teacher is as dedicated to reading the sages as I am, if it weren't for you, we wouldn't usually interfere in the affairs of the association, Chen Pingzhang, I've seen it once, and I'm upright, but it's already the twilight of heroes." As for President Monchi, we've all met for seven years, but he's our guide, and certainly not the kind of person you think. ”
The clue was broken again, and Zhang Shan frowned and said, "Could it be that there are really people outside the imperial capital who are also involved?" ”
Qi Hanhai said: "Why can't it be someone around Xu City?" ”
Zhang Shan didn't know where to start, Xu Shi definitely didn't have time to go out to kill people at the birthday banquet that day, the people under his hands, the shadow had fought with him, with his strength, it was impossible to intercept and kill Song Huai'an and Qin Guan by himself, but the Montaigne who was holding the bronze ancient sword had this strength, could it be that he went and returned after sending away the zombies?
However, here comes the problem again.
He had seen the corpses of Song Huai'an and Qin Guan and Wu De, and Wu De obviously died under a move.
Montaigne has been guarding Mengcang before, and he should not be sent out by Xu Shi alone to kill Wu De.
Therefore, the people who killed Wu De and Song Huai'an and Qin Guan must not be the people around Xu Shi, then they will only be traitors within the association.
But if this traitor is not Cao Longbow, who else can it be?
In Cao Changgong's words, how much is true and how much is false?
Or, is there a hidden master around Xu Shi?
Zhang Shan suddenly asked, "Have the people around Xu City investigated clearly?" ”
"Basically, it has been figured out, except for an underground killer organization codenamed Teahouse and the wave of people who escaped from Mengcang, there is only a mysterious person who wears a mask all the year round and speaks in a false voice by his side." Qi Hanhai was taken aback, "Do you suspect that there are other masters hiding around him?" ”
Zhang Shan nodded slightly.
Qi Hanhai lifted his glasses, "Actually, this possibility is not ruled out, an old fox like him, the hole cards will not be fully revealed." Maybe what we found out was just what he wanted us to see. ”
"Speaking of which, why do I suddenly lose much confidence in this arrest?"
"Maybe I'm thinking too much." Zhang Shan was confused and uneasy.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps.
"My teacher is back, hide."
Qi Hanhai hurriedly pulled Zhang Shan to hide behind a bookshelf.
But the footsteps did not stop in the slightest, and were getting closer and closer.
Just when Qi Hanhai was already desperate, the footsteps stopped abruptly.
Kong Chunqiu, the well-hidden librarian, took a book from the shelf, then turned around and left.
"It's dangerous." Qi Hanhai is like a frightened girl who likes to pat her chest.
But when he finished patting his chest and looked closely, there were brooms and mops on the edge of the bookshelf, obviously tailor-made for them.
He wilted immediately.
He looked at Zhang Shan with sparkling eyes, "Are you dragging it or am I dragging it?" ”
"I don't take it off." Zhang Shan tightened his clothes and said firmly.
"It's such a big nine floor, you can't bear to let me clean it alone." Qi Hanhai said aggrievedly.
"You're talking about mopping the floor." Zhang Shan breathed a sigh of relief.
"Or else?"
"Nothing, I think too much."
Zhang Shan looked embarrassed, mainly because this guy looked at him, it was too ...... There are no words.
……
The sky was like thick ink.
A group of righteous-minded black-clothed people have quietly disappeared near the courtyard.
