Madame's tone was firm, but she didn't reveal any information. Qiu Banxia was slightly stunned, but immediately felt like she hadn't received any hints.
"Scammed?" She combed through it, "Is there anything in this that can be called a 'deception'?" β
"Someone blocked your path with a fictional character and forced you to go to other forks in the road for answers." Mrs. Nangong didn't go around in circles, "To put it bluntly, how much do you know about the person 'Xiang Dong'?" β
"That's what I said."
Qiu Banxia smiled, "Madame may not know much about the host's methods, we have more methods to thoroughly investigate a person." At the beginning, I also considered that this was a disguised situation, but every piece of information found around was enough to support the existence of this character, although there was a lack of witnesses in the process of interacting with Xiang Yun, but considering the difference in the identities of the two, the possibility of avoiding the public was obviously not small, and I also found a lot of physical evidence to testify onto......"
"So what?" Madame interrupted her mercilessly, "In that case, wouldn't it be better to put a false clue in the place where you will find it first?" β
"I'm afraid it's not easy." Qiu Banxia replied, "I don't dare to say that no one has done it, but in this kind of thing, offense is much simpler than defense, I only investigate one point, but the forger must weave a whole surface, and leave no flaws." To do this, he is at least much more careful and actionable than me, and such a person is hard to find. β
And not only that, but he also has to put a lot of energy into the process, and it is not cost-effective to think about it. If it hadn't been known in advance that someone would be looking into this ten years from now, I'm afraid no one would have prepared so much in the first place. β
Mrs. Nangong smiled slightly, "So you have already said the answer." β
"What?"
"Much better than you, understand the host's routine, and be good at planning unimaginable ultra-long-term plans - narrow down the selection to this range, and there are not many options left." She looked at Qiu Banxia with a smile, looking at the other party's slightly discolored expression, "You have already guessed who did it, right?" β
Qiu Banxia didn't answer, but as Mrs. Nangong said, at this moment just now, a person's name did flash in her heart.
"Old Huang Li", Huang Lao, the sixth veteran host in active service, is also the teacher of many Mesozoic hosts, as well as their teachers of the new generation. Among the hosts, Huang Lao has the evaluation of "a thousand miles of strategy", which is exactly to summarize his extraordinary foresight and strategic style of laying out secret hands in advance. Just like Mrs. Nangong said, if the scope is narrowed down to candidates who meet the three conditions at the same time, the only person she can think of except for the teacher who has passed away is Huang Lao.
Just when she wanted to hear what Madame said next, the other party suddenly changed her words.
"Actually, when I met with Xiang Nanxing earlier, I told a lie." "I said this was the first time I had met him in person, but it wasn't," she said. I saw him once in Xifeng ten years ago, but at that time he was kidnapped and unconscious, and he couldn't see me. β
Autumn and summer's face changed again. Ten years ago, in Xifeng, this obviously referred to the time when Xiang Yun broke in. If this is the case, the reason for Xiang Yun's action at that time must have been for her son, but in the investigation, she never found a record of Xiang Nanxing's disappearance in childhood.
Assuming that Mrs. Nangong did not lie to her, then this part of the information was obviously completely falsified. The one who can do this is really Huang Lao.
"But Xiang Yun and Xifeng have nothing to do with each other, so someone should have kidnapped Xiang Nanxing and then fled into Xifeng? And she just chased that person into the country, and then had a conflict with us because of something? Qiu Banxia guessed.
"Wrong."
Mrs. Nangong smiled, "The kidnapper is your host himself." β
"It doesn't make sense." Qiu Banxia shook his head, "Is there any motive in this?" As I said before, there is no connection between Xifeng and Xiang Yun at all, what reason would she go to kidnap her son? β
When she said this, her tone was firm, but her eyes were locked on Mrs. Nangong's face. Seeing this, Madame just smiled.
"You don't have to tempt in this way, because I was going to tell you." She said, "Your logic is not so confusing as this - I told you before, the key is the 'third party' other than their mother and son." The host kidnapped Xiang Nanxing, naturally not for Xiang Yun. Their target is this 'third party'. β
"Then we might as well be more explicit." Qiu Banxia simply stopped playing those tricks, "You also said that the identity of 'Xiang Dong' is problematic and he is a fictional character. So Xiang Nanxing's biological father is someone else, he is the key to these two incidents, ten years ago the host had to deal with him, even the big man I thought of was involved, and ten years later, his son in turn got the host's special attention......"
Qiu Banxia said, feeling like something was slowly forming in his head. As Mrs. Nangong said before, when she narrows down the scope of candidates to only meet certain conditions, the real answer will emerge. At this time, she listed all kinds of conditions on her lips, and she was also drawing the image of this person in her heart.
It's just that there seems to be a key connection point missing in the middle, like a puzzle missing a few key pieces in the middle, although the pattern on it is enough to see an outline, but after all, it is not clear to see.
"All you're missing is the last piece of the puzzle." Mrs. Nangong once again showed that kind of perceptive expression, and then changed her words again, "When I introduced you to the playground, you once said this-I don't know where the Nangong family got its design information. β
Qiu Banxia nodded, secretly thinking about why Madame suddenly mentioned this.
"This game was introduced more than ten years ago when the 'second' host came to smash the field." Mrs. Nangong said lightly, "You should be familiar with his name, Meng Chuanbai." β
Bang dang!
It's the sound of a teacup falling on the edge of the table. With this crisp sound, the remaining black tea in the cup poured to the ground, and Qiu Banxia stood up abruptly and looked at Mrs. Nangong in disbelief.
Since stepping into the door of Nangong's house, this is the first time she has shown such an expression.
"What's wrong? I guessed that right. "There are traces of the man's professor in your skill," said the lady, and there is a faint resemblance in your temperament. You're one of those disciples he's taken on his travels around the world, right, do you want to call him a teacher? β
Qiu Banxia nodded solemnly. This is her glory, and there is no need to hide it. At the same time, however, her mind was completely filled with a huge question.
He's actually the host?
In those years, the teacher did not tell her who she was, and when she became curious to know about it, she couldn't find any useful information. In Qiu Banxia's eyes, the teacher's identity and resume are a mystery, and his whole person seems to have fallen from the sky, leaving no trace before meeting her.
When she arrived in Xifeng and became the host, she occasionally wanted to inquire about the previous hosts. But with the exception of a few voluntary exceptions, the information of those who retired or died in the line of duty is highly confidential, and even she has no access to it. On closer thought, the teacher may indeed be one of them, but he has inexplicably never thought about it before.
The teacher is Xiang Nanxing's father!
It's that simple.
"Ten years ago, something happened between the teacher and the host, so Xiang Nanxing, as a son, was tied up as a hostage, which attracted those follow-up developments related to Xiang Yun." Qiu Banxia muttered, "Ten years later, Xiang Nanxing was involved in the war of stealing the country in which the teacher participated, and directly led to the defeat of the teacher...... In this way, his trip to Xifeng was not an emergency, but someone secretly arranged it. β
"And not long ago, Xiang Nanxing escaped from prison through the rules of the White Night Festival, and the teacher ......"
She suddenly couldn't go on. The most crucial pieces of the puzzle have been put in place, and everything makes sense, but it is somewhat vague. Following this logic, the teacher's final choice makes sense. For the rest of the detailed things, you may have to wait until you have the opportunity to meet Huang Lao, and then find a way to ask him directly.
In any case, at this point she already knew the most critical information, and found the person who had the key to it.
"Why are you telling me this?" She asked in a low voice, with a few questions in her mind that needed to be resolved. Mrs. Nangong smiled and was about to answer, but at this moment, there was a sudden sound of hurried footsteps on the other side of the corridor!
The other party's feet are already extremely fast, and at this time, he is running hard, and his pace is almost scattered, which shows that the situation is urgent, and people can't help but panic.
Autumn and summer also heard it. With a third party to enter, it is obviously impossible to continue the dialogue in such a situation. She turned her face to see who it was, but saw Shen Lingshuang push open the door and stumble into the reception room.
"Stand still, don't panic! What does this look like! Qiu Banxia reprimanded.
She was thinking about saying a few more words to her, but Shen Lingshuang's next words made her completely stunned.
"I just received the news...... she was panting from the frenzy, but her face was so pale that there was no blood, "the coup d'Γ©tat in the country, the situation is very chaotic now, except for the curfew, the ports and airports have been blocked. β
"What's going on!" Qiu Banxia frowned, "What about the host?" In extraordinary times, doesn't Huang Lao have a way to deal with it? β
"Huang Lao ......"
Shen Lingshuang swallowed her saliva, as if she felt struggling just to say it.
"Old Host Huang has died in the line of duty."
