The phone was still ringing, but the Red Sleeves had silently grabbed my hands and stopped me from pulling out the phone.

"So be it, just give me this short minute, and in the long days to come, one minute will be great eternity for me. She murmured.

I gave up on answering the phone and snuggled up quietly with the Red Sleeves.

"Didi, Didi", downstairs a late car honked its horn one after another, and the piercing sound of dripping pierced the quiet community late at night.

Soon, the troublesome people upstairs nearby opened their windows and scolded, and all kinds of Jinan dirty words went down the wind.

This noisy noise made the romantic atmosphere in the kitchen disappear, and the red sleeves gently retreated, blushing all over the face, and turned away.

The powder in the coffee machine has been turned into a liquid by the action of the steam and is slowly dripping down the funnel. The smell of fine coffee wafted through the small kitchen, quickly dispelling all the charm and ambiguity of a few minutes ago.

My phone rang again, and the red sleeves turned his back to me, sighed mournfully, and then urged in a low voice: "Answer the phone quickly, don't make people wait." ”

The phone was coming from Lianchengbi, and the loud car horn was coming from the receiver.

"I'm downstairs. She said.

I couldn't help frowning: "Then why don't you just come up?"

She replied with a grudge, "Is it still convenient that the lights in the bedroom have been turned off?"

I looked around the room and noticed that the bedroom and study near the south side of the building were not lit.

Redsleeve understood all of what I was saying, and immediately turned around and made a "please" gesture to me.

"Come on, I'll wait to open the door for you. I said into the microphone.

Soon, the horn downstairs stopped sounding, and the invective of the neighbors came to an end.

"The bedroom light is not on, Miss Lian misunderstood?" asked Red Sleeves.

I smiled wryly and nodded, Red Sleeves stuck out my tongue and pointed to the door: "Then go and open the door, lest the queen be angry and condemned." ”

Two minutes later, Lian Chengbi entered the door with a faint resentment, and his face seemed to be covered with a thin layer of frost.

"Please come in, the coffee has just been brewed, it's a treat. The red sleeves greeted with a spring breeze on his face.

Before Lian Chengbi spoke, he looked up and down at Red Sleeves.

I understood her thoughts, and I didn't dare to show any joking expressions, lest she misunderstand.

"We've been talking about the secret passage under the church in the dining room, so the lights are not on in the other rooms. I explain simply.

The girl's heart is very careful, and she should be able to see from the clothes and expressions of me and the red sleeves that nothing happened between us.

Therefore, Lian Chengbi's expression quickly softened, and he responded to the greeting of the red sleeves: "It's really helpless to come to visit at night." I got some messages from Elder Wen, and I had to rush over and tell Tianshi in person. If you disturb the purification, don't blame it. ”

Red Sleeves briskly brought out three cups of coffee from the kitchen, and brought a pack of sugar-free oatmeal biscuits and a bag of Northeast original Maoji by the way.

"It's okay, as long as it's helpful to Mr. Xia, no matter how small it is, it's a big thing, and no matter how late you come, you're welcome." Red Sleeves said.

The three of us sat down at the table, each on one side, and drank coffee with a cup.

Lian Chengbi didn't delay, just took a sip, put down the cup, and went straight to the topic: "Tianshi, Elder Wen's background is very complicated, he was in charge of the formation of overseas rudders in the early stage, and he has been in Europe, America, and Southeast Asia for a total of ten years, and his ability and experience in the rivers and lakes far exceed those of his peers. Because of this, he was eligible to receive an invitation to join the mysterious organization of the 'Eighteen Buddhas of the Western Heavens'. You must have heard of the European-based 'Inhuman Society', but compared to the two, the former is more powerful and larger, and its goals are extremely ambitious, which makes us ordinary people ashamed. ”

Lian Chengbi's use of the "Inhuman Association" to benchmark the "Eighteen Buddhas of the Western Heavens" is very intuitive and shocking, because that organization has always been known for its strict selection of members, financial wealth, and eccentric members.

In the past 100 years, no organization has been able to blame the "Inhuman Association", so many wise people have fought all their lives to join it, while others have gone to the other extreme, making it their duty to criticize and attack the association all their lives.

In any case, since the global Cold War and the disintegration of the European superpowers, even the "inhuman association" has gradually faded out of the international attention and is rarely mentioned.

"So, in addition to the ones recorded in his resume, Elder Wen must have other outstanding features?" I asked.

According to the convention, there will always be two or more resumes of famous people on the rivers and lakes, the kind that can be written on memoirs and filled in various government forms, which belongs to the "white resume", in addition, they must also have a proud "black resume" in order to occupy a place in the big dye vat.

"Yes. Lian Chengbi nodded.

The Red Sleeve Trick has already said that Elder Wen's family history can be traced back to the ancient era of the gods, and this article alone has highly "deified" some aspects of Elder Wen.

Before starting the next paragraph, Lian Chengbi first turned to the red-sleeved move: "In your opinion, is Elder Wen a good person or a bad person?"

Red Sleeves did not hesitate and immediately gave the answer: "He is a good person." ”

This answer really surprised me, if Elder Wen was one of the black-clothed people in the tragedy of the Iron Gong Temple, then what "good" did he have? He was just a deceitful and famous-stealing man in the cloak of hypocrisy.

Lian Chengbi nodded: "Thank you." ”

I was a little puzzled: "Ah Bi, what do you mean by asking and saying this?"

Strangely, Lian Chengbi's expression was also a little puzzled: "Tianshi, this is not just the answer of Miss Red Sleeve Zhao alone, but the joint answer of at least forty principals of the beggar gang from all over the country. Three hours ago, I mobilized the informants from all over the Qin Wanghui to visit the principals of the 47 beggar gang rudders. Except for the seven who did not reply after the overtime, the answers of the remaining forty people were completely the same - Elder Wen was a super good man who loved peace, had the world in mind, and put the happiness of the nation in the first place in his personal pursuit. In addition to doing his job as a beggar, he participates in at least 20 charity fundraising, on-site disaster relief and other activities every year, and is a well-known leader in the charity circle. ”

I couldn't help but snort on my back, suspecting that something was wrong with my ears.

"Tianshi, it is precisely because I got such information that I am in a hurry to come over and discuss with you. If you recall your memories carefully, did you completely recognize the wrong person and find out what happened to Zhang Guan and Li Dai?" asked Lian Chengbi.

I didn't rush to answer her, but reopened a surveillance video.

The performance of modern monitoring equipment is amazing, and when I zoomed in eight times, I could even see the age spots and beard stubble on Elder Wen's face clearly.

I'm not 100% sure he's one of the men in black, but I'm 60% sure of my own judgment. The only thing that is unfavorable to me is that the tragedy of the Tiegong Temple did not leave the slightest evidence, and even the eldest brother did not see anyone alive or dead.

Whether Elder Wen was a man in black or not, it was definitely impossible to wait for him to admit it himself.

In the video, Elder Wen has been frustrated by Lian Chengbi, and his speech is no longer arrogant: "Miss Lian, all thaumaturgy is not only personal property, but also the property of the whole world, if the person who has the 'Infantile Technique' is complacent and strange, then his character really does not dare to compliment." If it's convenient, how about I talk to him personally? Say a thousand ways and ten thousand, although he belongs to the Qin Wang Society, he has not sold himself into slavery, so he should always have personal freedom, right?"

Lian Chengbi didn't give an inch, and slowly shook his head: "No, I have the final say in this matter." Without my permission, no one in the Qin King Guild has the right to cooperate with the beggars. Elder Wen, if you keep quibbling like this, our meeting can be over. ”

Elder Wen stood up abruptly and slapped it on the table.

I froze the image and zoomed in again to 16 times the original image.

The screen of the laptop could no longer accommodate his face, and only his eyes, the bridge of his nose, his nostrils, and his mouth were left on the desktop. Then, I pulled out a napkin from the wooden box next to me and pasted it on the screen, blocking all the areas below Elder Wen's eyes.

That night, all the men in black were dressed in the same way, with only eyes on their faces.

"At least seven points, especially when Elder Wen is annoyed. I said.

Lian Chengbi sighed, turned the computer around, and looked at the "giant face" on the screen.

Because of his age, Elder Wen's eyes had begun to become cloudy, but when his pupils contracted, he still burst out with an extremely wild aura.

"It doesn't matter if he's a good guy or not, that's not within my scope of investigation. Now, I just want to know if he has anything to do with the tragedy of the Iron Shrine that year. I said lightly.

This is the truth, it was my eldest brother who was tortured and killed, not someone else's business. Besides, if I didn't have good water quality, I would have been thrown into Daming Lake to feed fish, turtles, shrimps and crabs.

"I have a way. Redsleeves snapped.

Her method is naturally to use the "hysteria technique" to create an illusion, and then invite Jun into the urn and bring Elder Wen in, so that he can show his original form and expose his ugliness.

Lian Chengbi hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly, which was equivalent to agreeing with my words and agreeing with the plan that the Red Sleeves was about to unfold.

"Give me twenty-four hours and I'll be able to get this done. I know an important clue, Elder Wen has a secret nest at the end of Whip Finger Lane on the north side of Quancheng Road, where his good friend lives, and the two of them also gave birth to a smart and lovely fat son six years ago, who will go to elementary school next year. From what I know of him, he goes back there every night, and it's the best time for us to do it. Red Sleeves said with certainty.

"I will also send a team of people to help, you know, the situation there is very complicated, there are quite a lot of dignitaries and nobles, don't act recklessly, lead to big trouble, make it difficult for Tianshi to do. Lianchengbi added.

Whip Finger Lane is the famous old street and lane of Jinan, which is next to the provincial capital in the north, and its historical status and political environment are second to none in the city center. Therefore, it is necessary to have concerns about the city.
