Chapter 236: The Great Trap
Fang Wei failed to find out the news of Qi Yunxiao, firstly, he had been here for a relatively short time, and secondly, he had gone to be a militiaman. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The militia is divided into many groups, taking turns to do things, guarding the city wall today, and patrolling the streets the next day, standing guard booths the day after tomorrow, and patrolling the night after tomorrow, working for eight hours a day, and one hour for handing over shifts, giving lectures, and studying.
Temporary workers naturally can't contact more core, sensitive things, the biggest advantage is to be able to enter some ordinary people can't enter, or will be targeted after entering, the placket is dark gray, and there are many forbidden areas when acting alone after work, but when they go to work, they can go to the place, can see much more things than ordinary people.
Fang Wei had already had dinner and drank some wine, and he had made some friends, not to find out information, but to familiarize himself with the situation in Qingcheng, those were all locals and familiar with the situation in the city.
Most of these locals are only the strength to serve as soldiers for salary, many of them are even ruffians and hooligans in Qingcheng, it is precisely because they have no serious jobs that they run to sign up when they recruit people, such people are the most familiar with the city, and they know what has become "strange" in the city recently, and they are the best sources.
A "stone hunter" like Fang Wei is considered a high-ranking member of this group of militia, and those people are also willing to contact him, and if something happens, it is easy to find a backer.
"I asked them why Qingcheng suddenly wanted to recruit militia."
The five of them found a quiet tavern, sat down in the corner, and Fang Wei picked up his wine glass, his face was drunk, but his voice and tone were not the slightest drunk.
Chen Zhen, Xia Fan, Zhou Ding and his wife Hao Wei listened silently.
"The official statement is that there are gangsters in the city and there is a murder, but they don't know that there is such a thing, martial law of this scale, it makes sense to have something at the level of the Lou family in Yucheng." Fang Wei glanced at Chen Zhen and continued: "But if something really happened at that level, how could these people who wandered around the city all day not know? But they don't care about the real reason, it is enough to be able to take the money and follow the chief to show off his strength in the city. ”
"So there's still no way to know if Xiaoyun was really arrested." Zhou Ding said helplessly.
"The news is all spread outside, and the people in the city don't know who Miss Qi is, but I didn't dare to ask more, so as not to arouse suspicion." Fang Wei shrugged his shoulders and said: "But I also found out something, I don't know if there is an accident in the city, but some people have indeed been caught in the past few days, as for who they are caught and where they are locked up, no one knows, it is very likely that they are underground." ”
"Wolf Guard?" Zhou Ding frowned, thought for a while, and denied himself: "There are only a few of us who are more familiar with Xiaoyun, and we basically have news, even if other wolf guards know that Xiaoyun was arrested, they probably won't take the risk to save it, even if they do, seeing that Qingcheng is so heavily guarded, they should go back, it's impossible to rescue them at all." ”
"Since they know they've caught someone, they should know where they caught it." Chen Zhen looked at Fang Wei.
"I've checked all those places, they are all public places such as inns and restaurants, you can come and go at will, it's not a well-defended place, so far only the mansions of some officials in Qingcheng have been guarded, that is, the original soldiers, and other places are normal." Fang Wei grabbed a peanut and threw it into his mouth, chewing and saying.
"If it's all in public, how are the arrested people exposed? If it was really to find out about Qi Yunxiao's news, he would definitely try to keep a low profile, and he would be very careful when he spoke, why was he arrested? Chen Zhen frowned and thought.
"Do you suspect that the person who was arrested is also fake?" Hao Wei heard what Chen Zhen meant, she was a very smart person, and Zhou Ding brought her with her to play the role of a military advisor.
Chen Zhen nodded and said, "I've been thinking, if this is a trap for me, why don't you reveal some news about Qi Yunxiao?" Set up an ambush and lead me to that place, whether you can catch me or not, at least you can try, I originally thought that the closer I got to Qingcheng, the more clues I would get, but Qi Yunxiao's news was blocked by the people in the city, which was very strange. ”
"I thought the same thing, I thought it would be easy to get clues, I wanted to find out enough before you came, but I came into the city for a few days, and I couldn't find anything, so I went to apply, they wanted to fish, why did they hide the bait?" Fang Wei still looked drunk, and his voice was very low.
"I'm afraid this matter is only known to the person who set the trap, can your identity be used?" Chen Zhen asked Fang Wei, and the question was naturally related to Bai Lang's identity.
"No, there are too many people who know the relationship between me and the second son, even if I use my identity to suppress people, I may not be able to ask anything, and if my name is used in this matter, they will guess the identity of the second son and Miss Qi, and suspect you, if the power of the second son is withdrawn, it will be a big loss for us, so I use a fake name here, and the same is on the certificate, called Wei Fuan." Fang Wei yawned as he spoke.
Chen Zhen picked up a piece of dried fish and put it in his mouth, nodded and said: "Then continue to investigate, we will live in the inn, so as not to find a house to attract attention, you continue to be a soldier, if there is any important news, come to the inn to find us." ”
Everyone dispersed, Chen Zhen, Xia Fan and Zhou Ding and his wife walked to the inn together, Fang Wei stayed and continued to drink for a while, and then got up and left.
In the next few days, several people tried their best to find out the news, but it was too easy to arouse suspicion when they directly inquired about Qi Yunxiao's news, which may also be the reason for the internal blockade of the news, no matter who inquired about the news, they would be arrested, and those who were arrested made such a mistake.
The fact that he could not name himself made the progress of the investigation very slow, and martial law was always under law in the city, and he was not allowed to go out between twelve o'clock in the evening and six in the morning, and Chen Zhen did not have the slightest direction to investigate, so he did not go out to investigate at night - he did not know where to go, but wandered around the city during the day.
Xia Fan often goes out of the city, it is too convenient for her to go out of the city, taking advantage of the dark night and high wind, she flies out directly, she doesn't need to go through the city gate at all, no one can see it at all, flying alone is several times faster than flying with a person, not only brought the situation back to Yangcheng and Yongcheng, but also picked a lot of mutated plants by the way, and she also absorbed some of them herself, so that she flew faster.
…………
A week later, Fang Wei came to the inn again to exchange information, in fact, he didn't collect a lot of useful things, Qingcheng was calm during this time, no one was arrested, thieves and gangsters went to be militiamen, and there were no public security problems.
"I saw a man from Paradise Town, not a researcher, not a guard, just an ordinary resident, who couldn't remember whether he was selling things or doing crafts." After Fang Wei sat down, he took off his dirty long placket and hung it behind the door: "I went to follow him after work, and I followed him for a few days, but I didn't find anything." ”
The original inhabitants of Paradise Town were scattered to various cities, just to find Chen Zhen, and it is not surprising that there are people from Paradise Town living here.
"Guess who I saw in the process of following him?" Fang Wei asked Chen Zhen with a smile.
Chen Zhen thought for a moment and said, "Bitter root? ”
Fang Wei was stunned for a moment and asked, "You also saw it?" ”
Chen Zhen shook his head: "You ask me this, it must be someone we all know, if it is your own person, you brought it, the researchers of Bone Paradise will not venture here, then only the bitter root will remain." ”
"It's boring, I still want to hang your appetite." Fang Wei thought for a while, and then said: "I secretly followed the bitter root and found another person, guess who it is?" Tip one, you haven't seen it; Tip two, if nothing else, this trap was laid by him; Tip 3......"
"Brown's brother?" Chen Zhen didn't even listen to the prompt this time, so he directly gave the answer.
Fang Wei squinted his eyes at Chen Zhen, and after a while, he sighed: "You are really boring, how did you guess this?" ”
"You followed the bitter root to find it, which means that the bitter root is going to see that person, not that person to see him, indicating that the status is higher than the bitter root, and such a big trap can be arranged, and so many people are hired, either the people of the Bai family, or Kongdu, Kongdu, I have seen it, and the rest is only the Bai family, the head of the family is too busy to come out, and it is also a member of the Bai family to come out, if it is not Bai Lang's brother, even if you ask me, I can only guess, there is no need to give a hint, give a hint, I have not seen and know, the identity and status are above the bitter root, Only Brown's brother. Chen Zhen was very patient with Fang Wei to play this game.
Fang Wei is a lively person, a bit like the Gao Ju he met in Paradise Town.
"Okay, it's the fourth prince of Bai." Fang Wei was not discouraged, and said, "Then who do you guess is the person next to the fourth prince of Bai?" There's only one hint you've seen. ”
Chen Zhen thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I can't think of it." ”
Fang Wei was happy and said with a smile: "Hehe, I finally stumped you, let me tell you, it's Peng Ji." ”
"'Dark Tax Officer' Peng Ji? People from the Lin family? Zhou Ding on the side said in surprise: "How could he get together with the people of the Bai family?" ”
"Then I don't know, I saw him when I went back to Jingcheng to find the second son, it seems that he didn't return to Yancheng after leaving Liangcheng, and he stayed in Jingcheng all the time, probably because he was taken by the fourth prince and took him by his side as a staff officer." Fang Wei sat on a chair and rubbed his feet, he guarded the city wall for another day today.
"The people of the Bai family, the people of the Lin family, and the people of Bone Paradise are all here, if this is a trap designed by Peng Ji, it is really difficult to guess." Chen Zhen realized that things were getting more and more complicated.
Bai Sigongzi represents power, Peng Ji represents the brain, and bitter root represents force, they get together, then this trap is not only big, but also very complicated, and the most important thing is that it is extremely dangerous.
