Liu Luoqu read it again, and said, "Do you want us to go to the death row in Yongcheng and find a cell leader named Yan Gang?" ”

Wu Sihe said: "It seems so. ”

"Wait, and the words." Tang Anshu stared at the piece of paper, gently fanned the wind on it with his hand, and after a while, eight big black characters appeared under those eight words-the second watch went to the obsolete without waiting

Wu Sihe nodded and said, "Let's go to the second watch, and after the time, we won't be able to find anyone." ”

As soon as Wu Sihe finished speaking, Tang Anshu blocked Liu Luoqu aside with his hand: "Be careful." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, white bubbles began to bulge on the paper, and at the same time a large amount of white smoke rose up, and within a few moments, the whole paper disappeared, leaving only a watermark on the surface of the stone.

Liu Luoqu exclaimed: "It looks like this paper ball is still poisonous? ”

Tang Anshu subconsciously looked at the hand where he had taken the paper ball and sniffed it: "It should not be poisonous, but when the time comes, the medicine of the paper ball itself will play a role, self-destruct, and leave no trace." ”

Wu Sihe sighed: "The Dead Ear is really cautious. ”

Liu Luo channel: "What are you waiting for, let's go to death row now." ”

As soon as Liu Luoqu finished speaking, Wu Sihe jumped off the reef and said, "The death row that the Ming Ear is talking about can't be the death row that the Yongcheng Police Station is in charge of, right?" ”

Tang Anshu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Assistant management?" Aren't all the cells in Yongcheng under the control of the Yongcheng Police Department? ”

"Nope." Wu Sihe shook his head and said, "There were two prisons in Yongcheng in the past, one was the Yongcheng prison next to the Yongcheng Police Station, and the other was the ancient tower on the lake in front of Yongcheng in the south. ”

Liu Luoqu was a little surprised: "Ancient Tower? ”

Today's Yongcheng Prison is in the early years of the Republic of China, rebuilt on the basis of the Yongcheng Prison in the past Qing Dynasty, but the prisoners are ordinary prisoners, and the management is also very chaotic.

The ancient tower was built during the Ming Dynasty to fill in the lake, but the bottom of the tower was not filled, it was built with bluestone pads and layers, although it was on the water, the foundation was very firm. During the Shunzhi period, the layered place under the water tower was changed to a prison, which was dedicated to holding some prisoners who could not be executed in public, and in the Kangxi period, it was used to hold some important criminals who were implicated in the Ming history case, and later some of the people who were killed by the prison pit were all locked up there.

Wu Sihe frowned and said: "I was hired to go there to save a death row prisoner, when I went, I brought four people, all of them were first-class masters, and in the end, only me and the death row prisoner escaped, and we were both seriously injured." ”

Liu Luoqu was taken aback: "So dangerous? ”

Wu Sihe said: "The water prison is dark and damp, there is no need to torture at all, once a person is locked in, it will not take long for him to die of disease." ”

Tang Anshu pondered for a moment before he said, "Uncle Wu, since you have been there, you can tell me and Uncle Liu, how to enter the tower?" ”

Wu Sihe shook his head and said, "Now that it has been abandoned, death row refers to another prison by the sea in Xingang." ”

Tang Anshu said: "No matter where we are, we must go, if we don't get accurate information from the Underworld, even if we successfully enter the prison, there is only one way to die." ”

Wu Sihe asked: "Anshu, you haven't told us yet, what do you want to ask for the Dead Ear?" Is there only half of the map left? ”

"I want to ask a lot, but according to the rules, you can only ask for one piece of information for a transaction." Tang Anshu looked at Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe, "So, what I want to ask is, does "Jinling Jane" really exist. ”

Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe were stunned when they heard this, they didn't expect Tang Anshu to ask this at all.

Liu Luoqu asked: "Why do you have to track down "Jinling Jane"? Our goal is to rescue Wei Qiming. ”

Wu Sihe seemed to understand something: "An Shu, you mean, the employer's purpose is also "Jinling Jane"? ”

Tang Anshu nodded: "Yes, but I can't say too much, it's not the time yet, it's not a secret, the less one or two of them know, the safer they are, and second, as far as the current situation is concerned, the relationship between us is not yet up to absolute trust." ”

After listening to this, Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe were not angry and angry, because what Tang Anshu said was the truth, but everyone didn't find out, and secretly, everyone was guarding against each other.

Liu Luoqu thought for a while and asked: "In this case, you might as well ask Ming'er directly, where is the "Jinling Jane"?" ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "You have to believe that we are definitely not the first batch of people who want to get the whereabouts of "Jinling Jane" from the Stygian, if the Styx knows, this priceless information may have been sold long ago, in addition, the same piece of information, the Stygian Ear will not be sold twice, whoever arrives first, whoever offers the highest price, who gets it first." ”

Liu Luoqu touched his chin and nodded: "Yes, if the Dead Ear knew the whereabouts of that thing, I'm afraid they would have gotten it themselves." ”

"Absolutely not." Tang Anshu denied, "The Dead Ear is just selling intelligence, and will not use the information obtained to take direct action, they are not an action organization, just an intelligence collection organization, I just said that they will not sell the same intelligence a second time, they just want to be a fair bystander, if it weren't for this, this organization would have been reasonably eradicated by other sects and organizations." ”

Wu Sihe said: "It seems that the existence of the dead ear is also to maintain the balance of the rivers and lakes. ”

Tang Anshu said: "Uncle Wu, time is running out, you can quickly tell me and Uncle Liu the details of the new death row." ”

Wu Sihe hesitated for a moment: "Okay, but you go to a place with me first." ”

After Wu Sihe finished speaking, he turned around and left, Tang Anshu and Liu Luoqu glanced at each other, didn't say anything, just followed Wu Sihe out of the beach.

After leaving the beach, Wu Sihe went to the pier to buy a small fishing boat and traveled at sea for almost two hours before he came to a hidden sea cave.

After the three of them anchored the boat, Wu Sihe led the two into the sea cave.

In the process of walking to the depths of the sea cave, Tang Anshu and Liuluoqu clearly found traces of human life here, and there was a flat rock with a lot of dried fish.

When he finally walked to a certain patio cave in the depths, Wu Sihe stopped, raised his hand to signal the two of them not to move forward, and stood there whistling.

The whistle echoed in the sea cave, and after a while, a bald man with a broken leg on crutches walked out of the darkness in the distance, stood under the patio cave, bathed in the sun, and looked at Wu Sihe and the three with a blank face.

"He was the death row inmate I rescued from the water prison." Wu Sihe looked at the bald head and said.

Just when Tang Anshu and Liu Luoqu were surprised, a man with a naked body, pants, and a face covering the lower half of his face slowly walked out from the other side, holding a shotgun in his hand, and the muzzle of the gun was aimed at the three of them.

Liu Luoqu and Tang Anshu subconsciously shook their hands, pinched the fast hand dart in their fingers, and waited for it.

"Don't be nervous! It's all your own people! Wu Sihe immediately stepped forward, spread his hands, and motioned for both sides to lay down their weapons.

The man who covered his face asked in a deep voice, "Wu Sihe, you promised us that you wouldn't bring anyone else here, what do you mean?" ”

"You betrayed us!?" The bald man asked in a hoarse voice, saying that there was an extra grenade in his hand.

Liu Luoqu clenched the hilt of the short sword at his waist and asked coldly: "Senior Brother Wu, didn't you say that you only rescued one person back then?" How come there is another one? ”

Wu Sihe did not answer Liu Luoqu's question, but said to the bald man with his face covered: "Brother Yan, Brother Wang, don't misunderstand, these two are my brothers in life and death, and I brought them here this time in the hope that you two can help us." ”

The bald man frowned: "Help!?" Help what? ”

The man covering his face raised his gun: "Don't play tricks!" ”

Tang Anshu withdrew the fast hand dart at this time, and also signaled Liu Luoqu to put down his weapon, Liu Luoqu hesitated for a moment, and finally complied.

Wu Sihe said again: "We are going to death row." ”

The bald man and the man with his face covered were shocked and looked at each other.

The man who covered his face immediately asked, "Wu Sihe, don't play tricks, what do you want to do?" Damn it! ”

Wu Sihe sighed, and had to start telling the cause and effect of the whole thing.

●

Just when Tang Anshu and Liu Luoqu were guessing the true identities of those two people in their hearts, Qiu Gubo, who was in the Eight Kings Courtyard, had already met the disciple of the Dark Ear who had traded with him many times, Jing Wuye.

Although he traded with Jing Wuye many times, Qiu Gubo did not know his true situation, only knew that he was a merchant from the north, selling some goods outside the Guan, and rented a room in the Eight Kings Courtyard, where he lived all the year round.

As for the rest, Qiu Gubo did not find it, he once sent a telegram to his friends in Beiping, asking them to help investigate Jing Wuye, but the answer was "no such person".

But within a few days of this telegram being sent, Jing Wuye personally came to invite Qiu Gubo to dinner, and explicitly warned Qiu Gubo not to check again, otherwise he would lose the best source of information.

Since then, Qiu Gubo no longer dares to be curious about the true identity of Jing Wuye, because this matter makes him clearly know that the Dark Ear is really pervasive and omniscient.

Jing Wuye sat across the table, looked at Qiu Gubo with a strange smile, and didn't speak, just smiled.

That smile, that look, made Qiu Gubo a little hairy.

Qiu Gubo said: "Fifth Master Jing, this time ......"

Before Qiu Gubo finished speaking, Jing Wuye interrupted him and asked directly: "You know the rules, one question at a time, you have to think about it, do you want to know the identity of the inn killer, or do you want to know the identity of the killer's target, or is it Fu Guodong's purpose for collecting fishing boats?" ”

Jing Wuye's words made Qiu Gubo shudder, and before he could speak, the other party knew the question in his heart, what a terrible thing this was?

Qiu Gubo deliberately squeezed out a smile, although he knew that the smile looked strange and unnatural, he still had to laugh, it was a natural reaction, a way to hide his true feelings.

Jing Wuye picked up the teacup: "Think about it and then talk about it, don't worry, you are an old customer." ”

Qiu Gubo pondered for a long time, and when he repeated the previous sentence of Jing Wuye in his mind, a key question suddenly flashed in front of him, and he smiled, this time he finally smiled naturally.
