Chapter 239: Fire and Decision
The meal lasted three hours. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Chen Zhen sat on the third floor of the restaurant, constantly ordering and eating, observing the building, mainly observing the guards above.
Listening to Yu Tu talk about the "secret army" of Kugen, he thought he was referring to a group of warriors with high strength and five generations of strengthening potions, but he didn't expect it to be a robot-like nerd, he followed the person into the house and never came out, and there was no movement inside.
It was not until eight o'clock in the evening that the roof changed, and at the time of the shift, two guards went up to the roof and replaced the original man.
It's dark, it seems that there are two people on duty at night, the number of people doesn't matter, in the dead of night, you can be stunned or killed silently by releasing darkness, but then it will startle the snake, and the other party doesn't know that they have entered the city, this fight may change Peng Ji's plan.
Even if she was really caught, it would be impossible for Qi Yunxiao to be locked up here, if she wanted to spread a suspicious array and hide her in a place that no one could think of, she shouldn't just arrange a few guards, not a single guard, Chen Zhen would not pay attention to this place.
It's not worth scaring those stupid people, anyway, they have to come out, so it's better to wait for the daytime to follow and observe.
Sitting at about nine o'clock, Chen Zhen saw that someone went up to the roof again, said a few words to the two people on the roof, and then left, continued to observe, and at ten o'clock, the restaurant was about to open the ocean, and there was no abnormality on the roof, Chen Zhen then checked out and left, and returned to the inn where they lived.
Zhou Ding was sitting on the first floor drinking wine, and when he saw Chen Zhen, he beckoned him to come over, and said: "Fang Wei has been here, saying that someone was arrested again today, and the militia failed to participate, I don't know what the specific reason is, and I don't know who it is, and it was also arrested in public." ”
"Wolf Guard?" Chen Zhen asked curiously.
Zhou Ding shook his head: "No, Fang Wei asked about the people who let him be subdued later, they are all people who came to Qingcheng from outside in the recent period, and none of them are locals." ”
The two sat and drank again, and returned upstairs, Xia Fan and Hao Wei were still in the living room of the suite, Chen Zhen told him what he found and guessed after following the dumb person, Hao Wei was so frightened that her face turned pale.
"If they are controlled, then who is controlling them?" Xia Fan frowned, like Chen Zhen, she didn't want to be controlled by You, but she didn't expect to hear the word "control" here again.
"It should be the bitter root, the control may be related to the blood of the Miao brothers, the bone paradise probably has a breakthrough again, and there is no way to guess it now, even Yu Tu doesn't know about this kind of thing, it should be strictly confidential, rest first, tomorrow you will still stare at the bitter root, and I will stare at the house." Chen Zhen met Yu Tu, Yu Tu was still on their side, someone could contact the core layer, and he should be able to continuously obtain important information after that.
…………
The next day, Chen Zhen got up early the next day, and after eating something casually, he came to the vicinity of the building, and when he was far away, he saw that there were many people on the path, and there were also many militiamen, holding colorful pots and buckets, and the road was full of water traces.
The building had burned to the ground, and it had also implicated two nearby houses, and there was no smoke left, so it should have been extinguished long ago.
Fang Wei was also here, the long placket on his body was soaked, he also participated in extinguishing the fire, talking to the people next to him, occasionally looking around, and seeing Chen Zhen, he was startled.
There were many people, all looking at the burned houses, waiting for the soldiers to come out to inspect them, talking and speculating about the cause of the fire.
There were many nearby residents here, and no one cared when Chen Zhen walked into the alley, so Fang Wei quietly got behind the crowd and came to Chen Zhen's side.
"Why are you here? You can't do it, right? He asked quietly.
"No, I'm here to spy on this house." Chen Zhen told what he saw yesterday again.
"That's kind of interesting." Fang Wei clasped his hands, looked at the dark house and said: "The fire started two hours ago, it burned very strongly, and it took more than an hour to extinguish it. ”
"What was the cause of the fire?" Chen Zhen remembered the person who climbed to the roof last night, maybe he was ordering the fire?
"I'm not sure yet, but it's so strong that it can't be extinguished with water, it should have something to do with oil." Fang Wei thought of the burning insects next to Yangcheng, when he ran to Xucheng to move the rescue soldiers, he couldn't participate, and he always felt very regretful.
"Is there a way I want to go in and have a look? It's reasonable to burn one or two, but it's strange to burn a lot. Chen Zhen asked Fang Wei.
The roof is only ten meters above the ground, the windows are lower, and they are not sealed, and the fire in the city rarely burns people, and the vast majority of people know that it is better to jump out of the window and escape, at most a broken leg, than to burn alive, and it is a very strange thing to be burned to death in the house collectively.
"No, the room is full of commanders and soldiers, we stayed here to prevent anyone from entering, you will definitely be targeted when you go in, what do you want to see? I'll go and see you. Fang Wei rejected Chen Zhen.
"The location of the corpse and whether there are scratches on the ground, on the wall, on the windowsill." Chen Zhen guessed that Fang Wei couldn't stay in it for too long.
"I'll go and see." Fang Wei said as he walked into the building.
Sure enough, only a few dozen meters later, Fang Wei came out again, laughing and saying something to a soldier who drove him out.
Standing outside the house and looking at it for a while, he slowly moved to Chen Zhen's side and said: "The corpse is in the big room on the third floor, there are on the wall, in the corner, and in the center of the room, and it is preliminarily judged that there are eight bodies, and there are no scratches on the wall, on the ground, or on the windowsill, or it may be blackened." Can't tell. ”
"That is to say, the people in the house have no action to survive at all, they don't think about jumping out of the window to escape, they don't think about escaping from the building, otherwise they will gather at the window or the staircase, and they are like standing there waiting to be burned." Chen Zhen became more and more sure that the fire was not an accident.
"What do you think?" Fang Wei became curious.
"Someone was arrested yesterday, and someone was 'dealt with' collectively this morning." Chen Zhen looked at the small window on the third floor, and there was a figure shaking inside.
"Are you saying that those who are caught will become ...... Nerd? Fang Wei was taken aback.
"You said that the people who were arrested were outsiders, and the outsiders disappeared, and no one knew them, no one cared about them, and no one knew how they disappeared, and then they 'appeared' again, and no one knew that they were taken away, so it didn't matter if they walked on the street." Chen Zhen combined the information he had obtained in the past few days and came to such a conclusion.
Fang Wei's face was a little pale, just like Hao Wei last night, he thought of another possibility, and asked, "Could it be that they are...... It's ......"
"A corpse, or something close to a corpse." Chen Zhen finished saying this sentence for Fang Wei.
Corpses don't care if their eyes are dry; The corpse could not be seen, so the pupils were dilated; The corpse has no resistance, the bacteria in the body will make them gradually decay, and the skin color will also change, so it is necessary to powder, and when it is rotten and smelly, and there is no way to use it anymore, burn it, and catch another group of people to make new, moving, controlled corpses.
"There are soldiers in the whole city who are at their disposal, and there are militiamen who work in place of the soldiers, so why use those corpses that don't last long? Isn't that redundant? Fang Wei frowned and thought.
"It's probably an experiment, the arrests are all outsiders, no one reports the case, there will be no problems, if the arrested person came because of Qi Yunxiao's matter, this can be regarded as destroying the enemy." Chen Zhen glanced at Fang Wei.
Both of them had stayed in Paradise Town, and Fang Wei had stayed for a long time, and he was no stranger to the things in Bone Paradise.
"So, let's ......" Fang Wei swallowed his saliva and turned into a controlled walking corpse, which felt terrible to think about.
"If you stay long enough, sooner or later it will become an experiment, which can also explain why there is no more news about Qi Yunxiao, but the news is blocked inward, and if we can't find the news, we can't leave, trapped here by Qi Yunxiao's news, there are many soldiers dressed as civilians on the street, and the outsiders will be targeted when they enter the city, arrest people and secretly do experiments, by the way, wait for me to come, this is a plan that kills multiple birds with one stone." Chen Zhen roughly cleared his thoughts, but it didn't help him much.
"It's very likely, it seems that we are all targeted, but it is just because we are stone hunters and it is inconvenient to catch us, so we didn't do it." Fang Wei nodded and looked at Chen Zhen: "It seems that we still have to adopt drastic methods in the end, and it won't benefit anyone if it drags on for a long time." ”
"The inn is waiting for you, come after work, and discuss the results today." Chen Zhen said and turned to leave.
He found Xia Fan and returned to the inn together, and then told him about the situation and speculation.
"I was caught by them, I shouldn't be used as an experiment, my use value is higher than that of a product." Zhou Ding glanced at Hao Wei.
"Do you want to expose your identity and get caught, and then find out Qi Yunxiao's whereabouts?" Chen Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said: "There are too many uncertain factors, it may not necessarily keep you in the same place, there is no way to find you after being detained, if Qi Yunxiao is not arrested, after you go in, they will have hostages who can threaten me, and it is not a good way for you to expose it." ”
After discussing it for a while, they still felt that the method of arresting Bai Cheng was more reliable, Bai Cheng should know Qi Yunxiao's true whereabouts, and such important people were also the guarantee for them to leave safely.
Yu Tu can't find out the core secrets, but he can grasp Bai Cheng's whereabouts, and with his help, the success rate of this matter is very high.
Now just wait for Fang Wei to arrive, and then you can negotiate a concrete plan.
But Fang Wei never appeared, he was on the night shift, even if there was a fire delay, he would be able to get off work at noon at most, but he waited until dinner time, and Fang Wei did not appear.
