Chapter Seventy-Six: Questions After the Fiasco

Zhou Boxi's departure left Director Wang with a lot of questions: Why did Zhou Boxi break through the shackles of the ghost envoy agreement? Why didn't he tell Wang Dao why he did this? How the hell did he break the Ghost Envoy Agreement?

It's a pity that Yu Xiaoman, who knows some answers, and the other four powerful imps that Zhou Boxi relies on have either been taken away by Zhou Boxi, or have been done by Yu Xiaoman, and it is difficult for Director Wang to find anyone in the know. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

Director Wang, Zhou Jie and Xu Shaohua spent the next few days repeatedly combing through Zhou Boxi's deeds after becoming a ghost envoy. However, many of Zhou Boxi's actions were carried out behind everyone's back, resulting in Wang Dao and others only finding two suspicious points: the first was that Wang Dao was injured by the Qianyan Demon and hospitalized, and after being discharged from the hospital, everyone gathered at Wang Dao's home at the time. When several men were chatting together on the balcony, Kang Zhonghui asked Brother Hua to go to the Public Security Bureau to retrieve the birth record 30 years ago instead of Zhou Boxi. The second is some time ago, when Director Wang passed the Beidou bracelet to Kang Zhonghui, Kang Zhonghui said that he would go to the windmill of Yuelu Mountain the next day to help Zhou Boxi.

The two suspicious points are related to Kang Zhonghui, so one morning, Director Wang, Zhou Jie and Xu Shaohua made an appointment with Kang Zhonghui, who had just started school, to Zhou Jie's home.

"Come, Zhonghui, sit. I called you here today, nothing else, I just want to ask you a few questions. Director Wang asked Kang Zhonghui to sit down on the sofa in the living room, and then said.

"Teacher, what is the problem?" Kang Zhonghui said.

"Zhonghui, do you remember that time when I was discharged from the hospital, and then everyone came to my house for dinner. At that time, you said that Senior Zhou had something to ask you to ask Ah Hua, and he wanted to check the birth record of Changsha 30 years ago. Director Wang handed Kang Zhonghui a piece of watermelon and said.

Kang Zhonghui took a bite of watermelon, and then said: "Remember, I remember that Brother Hua found a lot of information for me later, and then I gave it to Senior Zhou." ”

"Did Senior Zhou tell you why he wanted those materials?" Zhou Jie asked on the side.

Kang Zhonghui thought for a while and said, "He said that he was looking for a few people, and I didn't ask more." Teacher, what's wrong, why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

"I'll tell you later. There is one more thing, didn't I teach you the Beidou bracelet some time ago, that day you said that you were going to Yuelu Mountain Windmill to do Zhou a favor the next day, can you tell me what you and Zhou did together? Director Wang asked again.

"Oh, I went to the windmill that day, and after Senior Zhou appeared, he floated to the sky to look at the terrain, and then took me to a small cabin. He handed me a piece of bloodstone and told me to inject some psionic energy into it, and buried it in the ground of the cabin. Kang Zhonghui said.

Zhou Jie and Director Wang glanced at each other, and immediately remembered the bright red stone that Zhou Boxi was holding in his hand that day. At this time, Director Wang suddenly remembered the somewhat familiar piece of meat that Zhou Boxi took out later. "Tai Sui meat! Senior Zhou was holding Tai Sui meat at that time! So, is it...," Wang Dao exclaimed.

"Tai Sui meat? Could it be that the Tai Sui in Boss Lu's construction site disappeared because of his great-uncle and grandfather?! Zhou Jie also thought immediately.

"Teacher, Brother Jie, what are you talking about? I don't understand it at all. Kang Zhonghui said confusedly.

Director Wang told Kang Zhonghui the whole thing, including that after Yu Xiaoman was promoted to Qingling, he also told Kang Zhonghui about the possession of Sun Qi.

"Zhonghui, do you recall, did Senior Zhou ask you to do anything for him?" Xu Shaohua asked.

"I want to think about it...... Well, basically nothing. Why did Senior Zhou do this? Wait, wasn't I being used by Senior Zhou? Teacher, what should we do now? Kang Zhonghui reacted at this time.

"There's not much we can do, and it's said that great-uncle and grandfather were known for being hard to find when they were alive, and now I'm afraid it's even harder to find. I have already informed the family of the situation of my great-uncle and grandfather, and Brother Dao has also informed the alliance of the situation, and we can only hope that our colleagues will find out about it. Zhou Jie said.

"Director Wang, Zhou Jie, with your understanding of Senior Zhou, what do you think he is most likely to do next?" Xu Shaohua asked.

Director Wang shook his head and said, "I don't know, I didn't know much about him when he was my ghost envoy before. Now I feel like I don't know anything about Senior Zhou. Zhou Jie, are there many records of Zhou's predecessors in your family? ”

"Honestly, it's not too much, I'll tell you what I know." Zhou Jie talked about the family's record of Zhou Boxi.

Zhou Boxi was born in 1884 and disappeared in 1914. His mother died of hemorrhage when he gave birth to him, and his father Zhou Chengshu was a very powerful demon hunter, but because he had been catching ghosts and eliminating demons for a long time, after Zhou Boxi was born, he rarely could accompany his son.

Uncle Zhou Cheng became friends with Peng Yulin, the commander of the Hunan Army, and it is said that when Peng Yulin passed away, he also gave some things to Uncle Zhou Cheng. Later, when Zhou Boxi was 6 years old, Uncle Zhou Cheng died unexpectedly. Although his father rarely can be by his side, Zhou Boxi, who has felt that his father is a hero since he was a child, feels that the sky has fallen.

Since then, the young Zhou Boxi has been studying and practicing martial arts and techniques diligently under the guidance of the elders of the clan. 20-year-old Zhou Boxi has become the number one master in the clan. At this time, Zhou Boxi, who had always suspected that his father's death had another hidden secret, ignored the dissuasion of his clansmen, left the family, and began to wander the world, looking for what he called "the truth about the cause of his father's death". Of course, he never found it.

As a result of his years of travel, Zhou Boxi got to know many brothers of the Alliance and Hongmen. After the outbreak of the Wuchang Uprising, Zhou Boxi went to Wuchang at the invitation of He Guanzhong, a member of the League. However, not long after he arrived in Wuchang, he left in a hurry.

After that, Zhou Boxi's news rarely spread. The last time Zhou Boxi appeared was in Jiangxi, when he stayed in Longhu Mountain for a while in order to ask the head of the Zhengyi Sect some questions about the Onmyoji. After he left Longhu Mountain, no one saw him again, until Director Wang found Zhou Boxi's ghost in the old mansion.

After listening to Zhou Jie's words, Director Wang said: "I really didn't know that Senior Zhou had such a bizarre life experience, why didn't you say it earlier, Zhou Jie?" ”

Zhou Jie spread his hands and said, "At that time, it was Uncle Great-Uncle and Grandpa who didn't let me tell you, and I didn't want to go against the will of my elders." Moreover, I didn't expect such a thing to happen. ”

"Forget it, there is no point in pursuing these things now, let's analyze the possible movements of Senior Zhou. From Zhou Jie's narration, I heard two key words, one is 'the cause of my father's death', and the other is 'Onmyoji'. At this time, Xu Shaohua said on the side.

"Well, it's true, especially the Onmyoji, Senior Zhou specially reminded me before leaving, asking me to pay attention to the Onmyoji. However, how can we judge the movements of senior Zhou through these two keywords? Director Wang touched his chin and asked.

"I think this may be asked for help from Brother Zhang Ze, after all, Uncle Great-Uncle and Grandfather had been to Longhu Mountain and had met with the head of the Zhengyi Sect at that time. I think Brother Zhang Ze should be able to find some records for us, so that we can understand the intentions of our great-uncle and grandfather when they went to Longhu Mountain. Zhou Jie said.

Director Wang nodded, took out his mobile phone and called Zhang Ze.

"Hey, Brother Zhang Ze, are you free now?"

"Are you free, Director Wang, do you have anything to do?"

"That's the case, Brother Zhang Ze, didn't I tell you about my former ghost envoy Zhou Boxi's predecessor two days ago, and today Zhou Jie provided a very important information, he said that Zhou Boxi's predecessor had been to Longhu Mountain before his death, and asked the head of the Zhengyi Sect at that time about the Onmyoji. I would like to ask you to help me check it out and see if I can find some records at that time, which can allow us to deduce the possible whereabouts of Zhou Boxi's predecessors. ”

"Yes, as soon as you said this, I still remembered it, when I came to Changsha to deal with the Domain Beast Incident, I didn't mean to ask my grandfather about the relationship between Zhou Boxi's predecessors and my great-grandfather. At that time, Zhou Jie said that he didn't want to dig into the privacy of his elders, so I didn't ask. It just so happens that my grandfather will be coming back from Los Angeles the day after tomorrow, so I'll ask him when he gets back. ”

"Okay, then I'll trouble Brother Zhang Ze."

"You're welcome, there are many mysteries about Zhou Boxi's predecessors, and I really want to know about them."

Director Wang hung up the phone and said, "OK, Brother Zhang Ze will help us ask Mr. Zhang, and there should be a result the day after tomorrow." ”

"That's good. By the way, Director Wang, Senior Zhou took away Grandpa Luo's knife, how is Grandpa Luo now? Xu Shaohua asked.

Director Wang sighed and said, "What else, of course my heart hurts to death." Although Luo Xiao also told him that Senior Zhou was the former owner of the Cloud Blade, this knife was of great significance to Grandpa Luo, who was bent on establishing the Hunan Army Museum. If it weren't for his old buddy Grandpa Zhao taking him back to Shuangfeng to relax, I really don't know how to face Grandpa Luo when I get home. ”

"Brother Dao, you don't need to blame yourself, if you want to say that, then I am also responsible." Zhou Jie patted Director Wang's shoulder and said.

"Forget it, it's useless to talk about this now. Ah Hua, your path is wide, please help me keep an eye on it, and see if I can find some antiques related to the Hunan Army back then. "Director Wang can only hope that Xu Shaohua can help him find something, which can be given to Luo Yunwen, and the credit will be atoned.

Xu Shaohua said: "Okay, I'll let those friends help you find it." ”
