Fifteen crack the codeword

Midnight. The slightly cold street came with the sound of Wanli's heavy, slow footsteps. He buried his head. Deeply furrowed brows. Walking with a heavy heart. Aimless. Cars whizzed by. Occasionally, a few young men and women who were accustomed to the night life passed by him playfully. But none of this bothered him. The buried head never lifted. In his mind, he pondered the only message left by Tang Peng:

"Something's on the table. You won't be coming back for a while. Take care of yourself. Don't catch a cold. Remember to eat more apples. It's good for the body."

"I understand Mr. Tang Peng's language habits," Wan Li frowned. Said in a deep voice. For adjectives without more than three people, he will not use the word 'everyone', which means that Mr. Tang Peng is likely to imply that in addition to Li Han and Liu Min in the detective agency, there are other people who are also trapped there."

Speaking of which. Wanli stopped suddenly. Looking thoughtfully at the bleak night sky:

"So. Who are the 'others' who are trapped with Mr. Tang Peng. Why are you stuck there?"

Wan Li sighed. Trim slightly unkempt hair:

"There is too little information. The one who was the policeman (Wu Wenfei) is now rumored to have defected again. Cheng Shuai's predecessors have their own things to be busy with. The 'strict wife' reporter (Chen Xi) definitely can't count on it. Because his wife is so horrible. I'm going to go to him for help. It's no wonder if she doesn't kill her. But it's okay. I'm glad I have you by my side. What do you think. Be prepared for nothing. Let's two brothers work together to solve all these mysteries. Rescue Tang Peng's teacher Bart."

Wanli turned his head. His gaze was determined to look at Bart. Bart looked up and looked at him for several seconds as if he understood him. Then he shrugged his eyelids and turned his head to the other side

"I knew you would say yes. Come. Bart. About Mr. Tang Peng's prompt 'Take care of your body. Don't catch a cold'. Tell me what you think."

Bart looked up again and looked at Wan Li for a moment. But this time the eyes are more like looking at a neuropathy. After half ringing. It barely let out a low growl that resembled a response." Whew"

"Yes. Your analysis makes sense. Truly. It was very hot. Teacher Tang Peng will definitely not really remind Sister Chang Jing not to catch a cold, it must be something that Teacher Tang Peng wants to tell us."

Wan Li crossed his hands and put them on his chest. The already tightly knit brow was furrowed even deeper:

"Yes. What could that be?"

After a while. Wanli still doesn't seem to be making progress. He sighed heavily again:

"Alas. The situation is urgent. Otherwise, I'll put down my head and ask Cheng Shuai how his predecessors are. If it's him. I can definitely crack Mr. Tang Peng's words"

Talking. Wanli turned his head to Barth. Seems to be really looking to Bart for answers. Bart looked at him again for a long time with a look that looked like he was looking at a neuropathy. Then he silently turned his head to the side again

"Yes. We can't turn to others." Wan Li nodded at Bart as if he was motivated. Said passionately. Bart. You're right to despise it. I should be despised when I have such thoughts. Thank you. Thank you for the encouragement."

"" next to . Passers-by noticed Wan Li, who seemed to be talking to himself. They couldn't help but cast curious glances at him.

"Look at what to see. I haven't seen the cornered. A hot-headed detective looking for a wolf to discuss the case." Wan Li suddenly shouted at them. Then he turned his head and made a serious gesture to Bart to leave. Walk. Bart. We ignore them."

The startled passers-by waited for their mood to calm down. Again speechlessly looked at Wan Li's departing back.

Turn a street. Wan Li's anxious mood calmed down slightly. A cold wind blew. He rubbed his hands together. Warm yourself up a bit. Just as he looked up at the endless night sky, he was a little dazed again. Suddenly, a thought flashed in my mind: If I were Mr. Tang Peng. Then I will use the rare time to tell the other person something. Wanli. Think about it if I were Mr. Tang Peng. I'm stuck in a secluded location right now, for some reason. And now I have a chance to talk to my wife. So. What would I say to her at the moment. Or what message will be conveyed to her

"Wait. I thought about it." Wan Li suddenly exclaimed. Excitedly squatted down and hugged Bart at his feet. Place. Teacher Tang Peng hinted at the location where he was trapped."

Bart looked up at the excited Wanli for some reason. Doesn't seem to know what's wrong with him at all.

"'Pay attention to the body. Don't catch a cold' this sentence" Wan Li swallowed. Go on." This sentence is actually about the fact that the temperature in the place where Mr. Tang Peng himself is now is very low. If. Teacher Tang Peng's words are still in the city. Then we just need to investigate the abnormality of the city's temperature at this time and the mainstream. The lower spot is it. And I also believe that Mr. Tang Peng is still in the city. Because if the range is too big. He wouldn't have left such a vague hint. Leaving only the hint that the temperature is lower indicates that they won't be too far away. We just need to look within the city."

"It's funny. The last sentence 'Remember to eat more apples. 'Good for the body' is not a hint that the trapped location is near one of the city's several major apple-producing orchards."

Suddenly. One is processed. The voice that could not be heard sounded behind Wan Li. Wan Li shuddered. Suddenly turned around: the mysterious man who kidnapped Bi Chengcheng appeared in front of him. Same as before. Dressed in red and white. It's like a perfume. There was a faint aroma wafting all over the body. He was wearing a black trench coat. Wearing white gloves on his hands. Face with a black leather mask. The eyes under the mask were looking at Wan Li coldly. It's like a wild beast looking at its prey. on his face. The eerie smile was terrifying in the dim moonlight

Sixteen conspiracies

Tang Peng closed the book. Rubbed his swollen eyes. I took a sip of my coffee. Glancing at another cup of coffee on the desk:

"Aren't you drinking?"

Opposite side. A slightly bald head. With thick-rimmed glasses. Short stature. A middle-aged man dressed in a slightly plain but neat way is burying his head slightly. Holding a book in his hand. Sitting honestly in a chair like a child making mistakes. Trembling slightly, he replied:

"I. I'm not thirsty."

"Oh." Tang Peng stood up. I walked over to the bookshelf and picked out another book." It's so late. You don't go to rest."

"I" middle-aged man has a look of wanting to speak and stopping. Carefully look left and right. Then he looked down at the book in his hand. whispered. I still haven't finished reading some of the content. Not sleepy yet"

"Huh. Yes." Tang Peng sat back at his desk with a smile. Calmly open the newly selected book. Ready to start reading." You've been in the study for more than half an hour. The book in my hand is still on the previous page. It doesn't look like you're here to read a book. There seems to be something else."

"Yes." The middle-aged man suddenly became excited for some reason. Then immediately realize your gaffe. I looked left and right for a while like a child who had done something wrong. Although there was no one else in the entire study except for him and Tang Peng. But he was still frightened for a while. After confirming that there is no one else. He lowered his voice and said to Tang Peng. I'm here specifically for you. Mr. Tang Peng."

"Oh." It's as if I already knew. Tang Peng casually agreed. His eyes were still looking at the book in his hand." Is there anything you can do with me?"

"This" has a cold attitude towards Tang Peng. The middle-aged man seemed a little overwhelmed." Actually, I have something to tell you."

Listen to what the other person says. Tang Peng still looked at the book in his hand intently. Doesn't seem to care what the other person has to say. But after a long silence on the other side. Tang Peng still couldn't help but ask:

"What's the matter? I've been waiting for you to continue."

The middle-aged man wiped his sweat all over his head. It seems that there has been a fierce psychological struggle:

"I'm sorry. I'm not sure if you can be trusted. So"

"If you don't think I'm trustworthy, you won't risk coming to me. All you're worried about is that I'm not strong enough to live up to your expectations." Tang Peng put down the book. Raise your head and look at each other with a determined gaze." Is it. Zhang Wenyu, deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress. Director Zhang (Readers with impressions should know that he was also kidnapped. It is described at the end of chapter 14 of this case)."

Zhang Wenyu was stunned for a moment. He looked at Tang Peng in surprise. Surprised why the other party knew his identity. But. A few minutes later, he looked excited and relieved:

"The God of Reasoning. It lives up to its name. In this way. I can rest assured too. But. How did you deduce my identity?"

"Actually, I just accidentally picked up your work card on the ground. Don't lose it again next time."

Zhang Wenyu took the work card. There was a look of disappointment on his face that could not be concealed.

"'Come' here with a work permit. Combine that with what you're wearing now. It means that you should have been working when you were held hostage," Tang Peng picked up his coffee cup. Take a sip. Go on." You have a normal complexion. Dress neatly. Not even wrinkles. That means you were 'invited' to come. There was no altercation or rebellion. And you're going to 'come' here obediently. If you guess correctly. I think someone threatened with a letter or lured here. Look at your less panicked demeanor. It should be another unlikely. I also don't quite want that to be the case: without knowing it. Received an order from a superior. For example, following someone to a certain place, etc. Thus coming here. But I don't want to be held hostage. But. You seem to have expected this to happen to you. Right?"

A surprised expression appeared on Zhang Wenyu's face again. He stared at Tang Peng with wide eyes for a long time. Then he nodded slowly:

"I'm afraid. I was brought in here when you didn't really want it to be."

Tang Peng's brows furrowed. He raised his eyes and looked at Zhang Wenyu for a long time. Then he sighed helplessly. Sure enough, it has something to do with the top of the government."

"Have you already guessed something?"

"It doesn't matter what I guess. That's just speculation after all. Director Zhang. Didn't you say you had something to tell me?"

Zhang Wenyu raised his head and looked at Tang Peng hesitantly. The Adam's apple squirms up and down. Finally. He said with a heavy opening. I'm fifty-nine years old and I'm going to retire in another year, you know. It's not you who step on me in political circles. It's me stepping on you to be honest. I'm really tired all these years. I've been keeping a low profile in it. Don't ask for merit. Just ask for no fault. I also want to do something to raise eyebrows for the common people. I've also thought about standing up like a man to expose those bitch moths. Can. I also have my own concerns. I also have my own family because I know too much. The above had to let me sit in the position of deputy director of the Standing Committee of the Municipal People's Congress. It's just in name only. I actually don't have the slightest right to alas. Even the little rabbit cub I brought out now dares to ride on my head. I"

"I'm sorry. Can you cut straight to the point?"

"Oh. I'm sorry. People are old. Unconsciously pulled a little farther away, I don't dare to say too much. I can only tell you that due to the fact that not long ago the daughter of the Japanese Prime Minister Kan Nao Iori Kan was killed in China. Therefore, the Sino-Japanese relations, which have been in constant friction recently due to the Taiwan issue, are now more tense. It can be said that it is on the verge of breaking out (mentioned in the seventh case); In addition, a small number of officials in China's political situation who adhere to the stance of maintaining Sino-Japanese peaceful relations have all died or disappeared inexplicably in the near future. Moreover, some of these officials have the evidence that the main militants in the Chinese and Japanese political circles have conspired to use their power to deliberately create conflicts and provoke incidents.

Tang Peng's brows furrowed. But he didn't say anything. Just hold your right elbow with your left hand. Press your right thumb and index finger down on your chin. The gaze was deep in contemplation.

Seeing that Tang Peng didn't mean anything. Zhang Wenyu sighed. Said tentatively:

"When I'm done, don't you wonder why I'm telling you these things that have nothing to do with our current situation."

"Nope." Tang Peng naturally shook his head. Took another sip of coffee." Are you also one of the few officials who insist on maintaining peaceful relations between China and Japan?"

"Yes."

"I think. That's why we're here," Tang Peng put down the coffee cup in his hand. I walked to the window with a solemn expression. Look out the window at the dark night sky. The brow furrowed even deeper." And if I'm not mistaken. Once the war really starts. It's definitely not just China and Japan."

"What." Zhang Wenyu was stunned. Some looked at Tang Peng in disbelief." Are you saying the United States will meddle. According to the information we have"

"More than that. Definitely more than that" Tang Peng shook his head. sighed heavily. Since he can provoke a war between China and Japan. It can also provoke other countries to get involved. I have also been paying attention to state affairs for the past five years. Many of our country's political policy changes and foreign relations handling are very strange. While every move is very favorable in the short term. But there are huge hidden dangers in foreign relations."

"Him." Zhang Wenyu was a little surprised. He didn't believe Tang Peng's words a little. No matter who he is referring to.

Tang Peng sighed heavily again. Slowly closed his eyes:

"It seems. That guy's chess game is much bigger than I ever imagined. And 'Noah's Second Coming' is definitely not as simple as I thought before. I'm now. Really good need your help."

Window. The darkness of the night swallowed up the weak moon. so that the earth cannot find a ray of light. The endless darkness is like the hand of a demon in the depths of hell. Little by little, it hits people who don't know anything about it
