Xiaotian wishes all readers a Happy New Year and an auspicious Year of the Horse!!

"Isn't that easy?" Di Luo hurriedly caught up with Ouyang Xiu and began his reasoning, "The place where Jesus was bound refers to the cross, and said that where there is a cross, in addition to the church, there is also the easiest place to think of, that is, the crossroads, and Rhodes also said the word "recently", that is, the closest intersection to hold a banquet, the two gods of death looked up at the sky together, the hour hand and the minute pointed upwards together, that is, the meaning of 12:00, and the last sentence, The three demons of different colors refer to the unique characteristics of the intersection, no, it should be said that it is something that is common on ordinary streets - traffic lights, right, Ouyang Xiu? ”

"That's right." Ouyang Xiu replied expressionlessly, "If my reasoning is correct, the bomb planted in the banquet will explode at 12:00, and now there are still 3 hours before the banquet explosion, so we must find the bomb as soon as possible and relieve the crisis, otherwise, the people at the banquet may all suffer misfortune." ”

"Hugh, I have a question." After staring at Ouyang who was full of anxiety for a while, Di Luo slowly spoke and said the question in his heart, "Why did that Rhodes plant a bomb at the banquet site?" It can't be that he is mentally ill and placed for no reason, right? And how was he placed? Even though the banquet was only held today, someone like him would definitely be found if he went in with a bomb, right? ”

"Judging from the strange appearance of Rhodes saying 'cursed boy' and his coma, I always feel that he is being used, to put it bluntly, he is just a puppet of some people hiding in the shadows." Hearing this question, Ouyang Xiu frowned, and then there was a trace of solemnity on his face, and he said his conjecture, "I don't have evidence now, and it's hard to determine who it is, but my intuition tells me that ninety percent of it will be done by the organization." ”

Ouyang Xiu's words shocked Di Luo, for a while he didn't know what to think, what to say, his body subconsciously ran with Ouyang Xiu, when he came back to his senses, he and Ouyang Xiu had already arrived at the destination, the nearest intersection from the banquet, I don't know if it was because of the nearby power outage or because the street lights were broken, the environment here was very dark, with the help of the moonlight Di Luo and Ouyang Xiu could barely see the road ahead.

"Be careful." For some reason, Ouyang Xiu always felt that this place was full of weird, pitch-black crossroads, like a black hole, devouring the moonlight falling from the sky anytime and anywhere, putting pressure on Ouyang Xiu and Di Luo, fear and timidity gradually appeared in their hearts, and what the final result was was in their thoughts.

Di Luo nodded, shook his hands covered with sweat, and then took out a flashlight from his pocket, and before Ouyang Xiu could react, a strong beam of light broke through the darkness, and the general scene of the intersection suddenly came into the eyes of the two.

"Shut it up!" Ouyang Xiu was stunned, and immediately roared, snapped the flashlight in Di Luo's hand, and then ran back a few steps with him, and then Ouyang Xiu squatted on the ground and gasped for breath, his eyes kept sweeping around, as if something special would happen here anytime and anywhere.

Is it an auditory hallucination? Or is it ...... Waiting for us to take the bait? After waiting for a long time and nothing happened, Ouyang Xiu frowned and did not let his guard down. Just when Di Luo turned on the flashlight, he heard the sound of a pistol being loaded near the intersection, and he immediately thought that there was an ambush here, so he made the move just now, which was a bit unexpected from the current situation.

"Don't move!" Whispering a word in his ear to Di Luo, who was lying on the ground, he slowly stood up, walked to the place where the flashlight fell almost without making a footsteps, and then picked it up under Di Luo's gaze, but nothing happened, Ouyang Xiu still held the flashlight and shook it left and right, hoping to attract the attention of people hiding in the shadows, and even attack him, but the result was the same as just now, nothing happened, as if his previous worries were superfluous.

Are you really too nervous? Ouyang Xiu still didn't let his guard down, but he didn't have any choice, so he had to take a flashlight and walk to the place where the traffic light was installed at the intersection, with the help of a strong beam, Ouyang Xiu saw a blank piece of paper pasted on the pole at a glance.

This is...... Ouyang Xiu took off the paper from the pole, looked at the contents on it, and was stunned for a moment, and then there was a smile on his face, which was an excited smile.

I saw that the content of the paper was written like this:

24571845785985871225453615" is really a naïve question. Staring at the contents of the paper for a while, Ouyang Xiu smiled and muttered to himself, just as he wanted to put the paper in his pocket, leave here with Di Luo, and rush to the banquet venue, a cold thing was on his head, and suddenly Ouyang Xiu's body tensed, his hands clenched into fists slightly, and he quickly turned around and hit the black shadow behind him.

Bang! Ouyang Xiu's blow was unexpected by the black shadow, so the black shadow could only take this punch firmly, and the whole person fell to the ground, just when he wanted to get up, the strong beam of light made him unable to open his eyes, and then he heard Ouyang Xiu's surprised voice: "How could it be you?!" ”

……

At the same time, Zhou Zheng and his entourage, who were walking into the venue, kept looking around, as if they were someone, especially Nan Ruoxun, as time went by, the worry on her face became more and more.

"There." Zhou Zheng's voice made Nan Ruoxun have a smile on his face, and when he heard the prestige, Nan Ruoxun found that Zhou Zhengzheng was pointing in one direction, and looking in that direction, Nan Ruoxun and Zhongli Yue'er found Clifford dressed as a bard, and at this moment he was talking to a certain aristocratic person, judging from the fact that the two were talking and laughing, they must be discussing something happy.

"I'll go, wait here." Nan Ruoxun just wanted to step forward, but was caught by Zhou Zheng, said a word in her ear, and gave her a reassuring look, and he walked to Clifford's side under Nan Ruoxun's anxious eyes.

"I'm sorry, a friend of mine came to me, I'll talk to you again if I have time." Clifford, who was talking, naturally noticed Zhou Zheng coming over, so he said apologetically to the aristocratic personnel around him, and took a goblet full of red wine and swaggered in front of Zhou Zheng.

"You're the famous Zhou Zheng, right? The one that ICPO calls the 'Dragon of China'. Before Zhou Zheng could speak, Clifford preemptively said, "First time we met, my name is Clifford, and I'm a bard, how about it?" Isn't it a little uncomfortable to attend this kind of banquet? But after participating a few times, I got used to it, and the nobles liked it. ”

"I'm not here to ask you that kind of question." Zhou Zheng was indeed a little surprised that Clifford spoke first, but when he heard what he said about these inconsequential things, his face suddenly looked a little unpleasant, but he was a policeman, Interpol, and he was a literate person, so he would definitely not be angry because of such a trivial matter, so he said lightly to Clifford.

"Oh? So what do you want to ask? Clifford took a sip of red wine and asked with a look of ignorance, "I'd like to hear what you big man has to do with me, a bard." ”

"Do you have any news of Zheng Hanfei, I believe Sheriff Tim should tell you the general situation, right?" Since the other party opened his mouth like this, Zhou Zheng did not beat around the bush and cut straight to the point.

"It's pretty straightforward. Unfortunately, I don't know anything. Clifford put the empty goblet on the plate held by the waiter, and said with a smile, "I also feel sad that Zheng Hanfei is missing, I also used my connections as a bard to find some clues, but unfortunately I didn't find anything, I believe you know best, after all, you borrowed several police officers from Tim to assist you in finding Zheng Hanfei, and most of my sources rely on Tim." ”

"That's right, then I'll bother." Seeing that the other party wanted to tell the truth, Zhou Zheng couldn't continue to ask him anything, after all, Clifford was not a prisoner, and Zhou Zheng believed that Clifford would not hide clues about Zheng Hanfei, so he walked to Nan Ruoxun and Zhongli Yue'er, and shook his head slightly under Nan Ruoxun's expectant gaze.

Although she already had some guesses in her heart, knowing the answer, Nan Ruoxun still had the urge to cry, but she knew that she couldn't show her ugliness on this occasion, so she had to endure it desperately, and reluctantly showed a smile at Zhou Zheng and Zhongli Yue'er, telling them that she was okay and didn't have to worry about her.

Zhou Zheng didn't know what to say, so he could only stand in place and sigh, suddenly, he saw Nan Ruoxun looking behind him, his eyes were full of disbelief, he was slightly stunned, turned around to look, he was also stunned, he had seen a person wearing a black cap near the London Eye appear in his eyes again.
