Chapter 184: Beneficiaries
Zhou Yu ran out of the door with bare feet, and standing at the door, looking around was a thin man with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, thief eyebrows, and rat eyes, no more than thirty years old, with an obscene look that annoyed passers-by.
"Gentlemen, did you report the crime?" Zhou Yu slapped him on the shoulder.
"Oh, don't, don't, uncle, it hurts!"
The thin man bared his teeth and hurriedly went to break the vices of the Metropolitan Governor.
"Come on, come on!"
Zhou Yu led him to the bathhouse, sent a team of ten people to clean up a secluded place, sat on the ground with a grin, and stared at the thin man against the wall pillar.
"Ma Partridge, you go to the door and control the wind!"
"My lord, we are soldiers, what kind of wind do we have?" Ma Partridge obviously doesn't have a good understanding of the word wind.
"I mean you hide and see if anyone with suspicious looks around is following him! He! Do you understand? β
Zhou Yu's fingers kept pointing at the thin man, and he was very dissatisfied with the group of grassroots law enforcement officers headed by Ma Partridge, how could this team with a weak sense of counter-espionage reconnaissance be outrageously strong? How to teach?
"Oh, the little ones are going!"
"Hehe, my lord, twenty bags of chestnuts hanging red aren't foolish, right?"
"Haha, it's easy to say, it's easy to say, it depends on whether your material is worth the price!"
"Well, that's it, the little one has seen the people you've been looking for all over the street."
"Oh? Where is it? Zhou Yu's eyes lit up, and this person didn't ask other physical characteristics to confirm, nor did he say anything ambiguous, but directly clicked on what he had seen.
It seems that this matter is reliable.
"Then, isn't that Young Master Strange Bee?"
"You actually know each other?"
"Nonsense!" The thin man rolled his eyes, and in an instant he felt that he was a little too domineering, the twenty bags of Suo Li reward money had not yet arrived, and he had found it a little too much in advance, so he had to squeeze out two unnatural embarrassed smiles on his face, and whirl.
"No, don't be too clichΓ©, I don't care about that. There are not a few people in this city who have seen Young Master Qi Bee, and there are more than ten or eight people who want to make a hanging bonus, but few people have seen him recently! β
"About a month ago, I went to Butterfly City Station to pick up our young master."
"Wait, wait, your young master? Who is your young master? β
"My young master is a soft dragonfly! He is also one of the best characters in Butterfly City. β
Yes, there are people who have a father and son who are in power, and Soft Dragonfly will always be a second-rate character. The Governor still vividly remembers the attitude of the Strange Bee towards the Soft Dragonfly on the wind wheel, which is not as good as a servant. However, the soft dragon is also a second goods, and I knew that there was no room for sand in the eyes of the strange bee, and I had to come out and behave obediently, what was it that was not self-inflicted?
This kind of person has to have someone to pick it up.
"Your young master is a soft dragonfly, who are you?"
"The small one is for the young master's mansion to watch the door."
Oh, it turned out to be a watchman, Zhou Yu rubbed his chin and nodded. He can basically be sure that this person has the conditions to contact and cover the enemy's situation, and now he should enter the critical stage of questioning. Questioning is not interrogation, if you want to practice this business, you can't get a teacher without two hundred halls of experience.
"I said, brother, what do you call it?"
"My lord, don't be so polite, everyone calls me Da Fei!"
"Big Fly?" Zhou Yu was stunned, it turned out that this was the legendary Big Fei Brother in North Point, but the gap between him and Huang Qiu was a bit big! The name is good, but unfortunately the name does not live up to the truth!
"Well, the little one is in charge of the doorkeeper in the Young Master Rou Dragonfly's mansion, and the night shift."
The night shift, that is, the drudgery of staying up in the middle of the night in the third shift.
"Well, go on. If what I expected, your young master accompanied Young Master Qibee on a business trip a few months ago, but he never returned home, right? β
"Hey, that's a god. How do you know that my young master hasn't come back? β
"Guess!" Zhou Yu took a sip, because it was inconvenient to tell him the source, so he could only cover it up.
"Although my young master hasn't come back, my young lady has been a little abnormal recently."
"Your young lady?"
Zhou Yu's eyes glared at the boss, this damn guy was actually married, and he didn't know who his wife was, so he couldn't think about it, and he actually married a sissy.
"That's right, my young lady is the younger sister of Young Master Rou Dragonfly, named Rou Dragonfly."
Well, it turned out to be a brother and sister. That's right, since there are dragonflies, soft dragonflies, soft dragonflies, soft dragonflies, it's really a pair of twin names made in heaven.
"What's wrong with your young lady?"
Originally, the young lady stayed at home, lived in a simple house, had no friends and didn't like to join in the fun, and the number of times she went out over the years was counted with one hand and fingers. But, but... β
"But what? Has she changed her habits lately? β
"No, she's been going out a lot lately. I have to go out almost every other day. And every time he was alone, without a servant, he left quietly alone, and came back unconsciously. β
"Oh, so weird?"
"Well, the first two times I was napping and didn't notice her leave, but I saw her come back tired. Later, I kept an eye on it, after all, I was serving other people's jobs, so that the master could see that it was not appropriate for you to sleep when you were always on duty. So, I kept my eyes wide all night, not sparing even a mouse. And guess what? β
Zhou Yu shook his head, he was peeling back the cocoon, trying to find a way to connect these clues.
"The young lady actually asked me to go back to the house, saying that I didn't need to watch the door. The little one has been on an errand in the house for seven or eight years, and he has never been so idle. Especially when it turned out that Young Master Rou Dragonfly was in charge, he was always frightened. Now that there is such a good thing, there are so many of them, it must be that they don't say a word, go back to the house and sleep with their heads covered! β
Zhou Yu closed his eyes slightly and continued to rub his chin.
"Once, twice, the third time I couldn't sleep. How can there be a pie in the sky? Don't be a trap that people want to dig with small gestures, so one night I hid outside the door and saw what the young lady had in mind! β
"As a result, what did you find?"
When Zhou Yu heard this, he sat up suddenly, as if someone had stuffed a durian under his buttocks. He guessed that the next step would come*.
"I found out that the young lady had gone to see someone. Just a meal away from the west of the city, there is a cave. β
"What's in the cave?"
"The little one didn't go in, it was too dark inside. If it's a white hole, the small one is not enough to have nine lives for them. β
Zhou Yu has heard that Bai Tiao'er sucks blood, and he will not let go of his mouth when he kills the host, unless he is scalded with fire, which is also the reason why they have thick fat.
"Then how do you say that you have met Young Master Strange Bee?"
"The little one picked up two things at the entrance of the cave."
As he spoke, Da Fei took out two small objects from his pocket, one smaller than the other. One of them was the Turtle Gate Fragment, which should only be qualified to be held by the Wing Clan patriarch or heir, and it was scattered to the periphery of the cave that Da Fei said, indicating that even if the Strange Bee was not there, at least it had a close relationship with it.
Another thing made Zhou Yu believe in his judgment even more, because the second thing was the token he gave him - FD coins. He was very sure, affirmed, and believed that the Strange Bee was the only one in the entire continent of Dubancia who had this special coin.
Now, although the truth of the matter has not yet surfaced, it is still unknown whether the strange bee is dead or alive, but one thing is certain: Soft Dragonfly's sister Soft Dragonfly must be one of those who know. But it's too early to close the net, and the best thing to do is to cast a long line to catch big fish.
"Good, very good, big fly. I bought your information, and not a single one of your twenty bags of chestnuts will be missing you. By the way, I'll give you an additional 20 bags in addition to that. β
"Really, really?" This kid's eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and Zhou Yu was uncomfortable looking at it. Good guy, with forty bags of chestnuts, Da Fei can directly be free of property, not to mention buying a house and doing some small business, even marrying a daughter-in-law is more than enough.
"It's true, but if you want to get these forty bags of chestnuts, I still have one condition."
How vicious is the Grand Duke? It's a combination of Pipiru and the Bull Demon King, and one mouth is forty bags of chestnuts, but in order to monetize, additional tasks must be completed. In the face of this temptation of double, the resistance of ordinary people is close to zero.
"Your Excellency, please speak!" Da Fei propped up his ears, for fear that the way to make money would be missed by him.
"I'll let you keep an eye on your young lady for me, and if you find her out again, come to this place to find me. Remember, be cautious and lose rather than violent! β
"Uh, my lord, what is it better to lose than to violate?"
This time, everyone in the room pricked up their ears to listen, Zhou Yu shook his head, Nima, you guys, how can you still have such a studious spirit? I studied like this earlier, and you were at Peking University in the morning.
"It's better to give up the task of stalking than to expose your intentions."
"Understood, understood!"
Hey, forty bags of chestnuts, I'm coming! Da Fei almost jumped out of the bathhouse.
Then when Zhou Yu saw Da Fei again, he was already a corpse.
"My lord, this kid is dead."
"Do you still need to say it? I see it! β
Zhou Yu pursed his lips and stared into the distance with a frown. It seems that Da Fei was exposed, and people gave us a dismount, killed someone and put it in a sack, and sent it to the door of the bathhouse in a daze. It's just that this has long been expected by him.
What's the matter, I'm afraid I don't know you did it? The total in the heart of the Metropolitan Governor gradually sketched a clear picture. Since you made the first move, let's play a big one! Zhou Yu snapped his fingers.
However, this game requires the cooperation of the old man of the waste ostrich to complete.
The meeting to announce the successor will be held the day before the arrival date, and the whole of Butterfly City has been whispering in whispers for the past few days. Because of the existence of Dubancia second only to Tianyin City, and because it is also the economic center, every move of Butterfly City, especially the news involving the inheritance of the Wing Clan patriarch, will undoubtedly be magnified dozens of times, and instantly become the talk of the streets and alleys, after tea and dinner.
Intelligence personnel from various forces have been on the verge of making a move recently, and they have frequently connected in private, exchanging information with good relations and those with poor relations can only guess out of thin air. However, all forces have one thing in common, that is, no matter who comes to power, they must try their best to win them over.
Why? Because the geographical location of Butterfly City is so important. It is said that a month later, it will be the annual "Homecoming Day", when all the characters with heads and faces in Dubancia will appear in Butterfly City, and even Cuo Ling will drive it in person. You say, can it not be stormy? Can you not sword and sword?
Several things have happened in the past few days, constantly leading the nose of the incident, as if everyone is getting farther and farther away from the truth. It's Zhou Yu, who is the calmest of them all, and he believes that the more obvious things are, the more obvious they are.
The first thing is that the strange bee was found, and a pawn found the body of the strange bee not far outside the city, and the person was already dead. How did this "dead" strange bee appear at such an opportune time? It was two days before the announcement of the successor. BingoοΌ This is the first trick of the Grand Duke, to lure the snake out of the hole. He didn't have any hope that the strange bee was still alive, because the golden rescue period had long passed. Still, it took a lot of effort to convince the old stubborn to support him.
The second thing is that since Da Fei's death, Zhou Yu had to send Ma Partridge and others to rotate day and night, alternately monitoring outside the Rou Dragon's Mansion. But the strange thing is that since then, I have never seen anyone other than the subordinate in the house enter or leave. Even if I turned all the caves about the same distance to the west of the city, I didn't find any valuable clues. Could it be that Da Fei is cheating on the hanging red? But if so, who is so unaccustomed to seeing him make a fortune that he has to put a subordinate to death?
Third, the hatred between the Winged and Zerg has risen to its peak in recent decades. Because when the corpse of the strange bee was found, the whole person remained in a standing position and was sealed in a large piece of amber. His frightened face, staring at the front in disbelief, lifelike but lifeless, a way of dying chilling and burning with rage. Looking at the whole of Dubancia, there is no second person who has the power and strength to do such a big amber business except Diao Silkworm.
Zhou Yu looked at the artwork in front of him and couldn't help but be speechless. The worm is the worm sealed inside, so should the person sealed inside be called human per? The waste ostrich beside him, who was supported by the butler, almost fainted when he saw such a tragic death of his only son. How could the head of the clan weep in front of people like this, and he held back in a daze, and replaced all hatred and curses with coughs and tears.
Except for Zhou Yu, everyone overwhelmingly thought that it was the Zerg who did it. Many people even remembered that the two had a-for-tat confrontation and broke up unhappily in order to compete for two auction items on the wind wheel. Diao Silkworm killed the killer this time and got rid of the only successor of the Wing Clan, the purpose is very clear, that is, to do it with your Wing Clan!
Diao silkworm, Diao silkworm, now you are yellow mud in the crotch of your pants - it's not, it's! It's not that the younger brother doesn't help you, but whether it's motives, abilities, or evidence, you are among the best, and you can't escape the blame! It's just that you are a four-six unreliable character, and you have a criminal record in people's hearts, brother, and the suspicion is the biggest and not negotiable.
Butterfly City, on the surface, the lights are on, the singing and dancing are leveling, but secretly it is a different scene. One of the most modern cities Zhou Yu has seen in Dubancia so far, with brothels, circuses, bathing centers, and futures markets, is working at full speed, rolling up its sleeves, and going all out to prepare for the visit and guidance of all the middle-level leading cadres in Dubancia.
With the war on the horizon, who will be the biggest beneficiary?
