"Oh? Study tour? The suspicion in Li Lin's eyes did not subside, "Which restaurant to go to for study?" ”

Gongsun Li said without thinking: "Taiping Restaurant! ”

The reason why she blurted out was because she knew that Li Lin was suspicious by nature, and if she hesitated a little, she would definitely be recognized.

Therefore, Gongsun Li subconsciously said the name of the first restaurant that came to mind.

Li Lin's eyes narrowed slightly: "Taiping Restaurant? It seems that you are the defeated subordinates of the Yutian Inn, what can you learn when you go over there to investigate and study? ”

Gongsun was not good in the secret way, obviously this answer did not succeed in bluffing Li Lin.

But it doesn't matter, it can be remedied.

Gongsun Li hurriedly said, "My lord doesn't know anything. In fact, the reason why our inn can beat the Taiping Restaurant is mainly because the taste of our inn's food is better than theirs, and they have been punished by the owner for maliciously reducing prices and spreading rumors, so they lost to us. ”

"But Taiping Restaurant is a time-honored brand after all, with rich experience, and the management of the running hall and the back kitchen is very strict. And our Yitian Inn has just been established, we can't be carried away by the temporary popularity, we still have to calm down and carefully study the management of the inn, improve the level, in order to better serve the people of Chang'an, right? ”

Gongsun Li's two big eyes flickered, and his face was full of sincerity.

Li Lin looked at Gongsun for a long time and nodded slightly: "You have this heart, but it is commendable. ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the catcher beside him: "You two, escort them to the Taiping Restaurant for inspection." ”

Pei Baohu's face suddenly became quite exciting, and he finally swallowed back the dirty words on his lips.

Shoot up!

This Li Lin is simply a fox, although he acts like he believes Gongsun Li's words on the surface, but in fact, he doesn't believe it at all, and he still wants to let the two catchers monitor them at close range!

However, the people of Yaotian's team hadn't said anything yet, and the two catchers were not happy at first.

"My lord, the action will start soon, and we still want to make meritorious contributions ourselves......"

Before the two of them finished talking, Li Lin's face sank instantly, and he glared at them fiercely.

The two of them knew that they were speechless, and hurriedly lowered their heads: "Yes, my lord!" ”

Li Lin looked at the three members of Yaotian's team again: "Please?" ”

Gongsun Li and Yi Xing glanced at each other, followed by the two head catchers, and walked towards the Taiping Restaurant.

Li Lin, on the other hand, looked at their departing backs meaningfully, and after a long time, he waved his hand and beckoned his subordinates to catch quickly: "The action continues!" ”

……

On the way to Taiping Restaurant, Gongsun Li looked at Yi Xing, who made a gesture, which means "don't act rashly".

Obviously, Yi Xing is extremely smart and knows the current situation of everyone.

A few days ago, Yu Hengsi's manpower was transferred to this area on a large scale, and today Li Lin took the catchers to patrol this area, and the two catchers said "the operation will start immediately", obviously, Yu Hengsi is preparing to start today, thoroughly search this area, and completely find out the mysterious mechanic.

But these two catchers were firmly focused on the three members of Yaotian's team, so that they couldn't act rashly.

Even if Yaotian's team has an advantage in numbers, this is after all in the downtown area, and it is impossible to hide it from everyone's eyes. Once someone goes to report to Yu Hengsi, what awaits Yaotian's team is a large number of Yu Hengsi's fast arrests.

Even if you can get out smoothly at that time, this task will not be completed.

But now there is no way to do this, so I can only pretend to enter the Taiping Restaurant to investigate.

The three members of Yaotian's team and two catchers came to the entrance of the Taiping Restaurant, and immediately a guy came up to greet them.

Gongsun Li took a look, she knew this guy, wasn't he the one who first went to the Caitian Inn to spy on the enemy?

Fortunately, he didn't participate in the rumors later, probably because the shopkeeper considered that everyone in the Caitian Inn knew him, so he appointed another runner to do it.

Otherwise, this guy should be locked up in the prison of Honglu Temple with the shopkeeper at this time.

Seeing the people in Yaotian's team, the guy's face sank: "How many people dare to come to Taiping Restaurant?" It's so deceitful! ”

Gongsun Li was a little puzzled, didn't he have the impression that this guy was quite cowardly?

Why did you suddenly get angry today?

After the man said this, several other men threw him approving glances.

Obviously, the popularity of the Yantian Inn has caused Taiping Restaurant to lose a lot of business, and the guys up and down the restaurant have been affected.

Gongsun Li said very politely: "We are here to inspect and study in your restaurant. If you don't let us in, will even the adults of Yu Hengsi have to stop us? ”

The guy looked at the arrest of these two Yu Hengsi, and then said reluctantly: "In this case, guest officers, please come in." ”

The three members of Yaotian's team and the two catchers sat down at the two empty tables and ordered a few dishes.

The guy began to greet him politely.

Gongsun Li just wanted to praise him a few words, but he saw the guy bending down slightly and whispered: "Shopkeeper, there were many people just now, and the villain was offended, I will kowtow to you another day to make amends!" ”

"Look...... Can I go to the Restaurant Inn to do chores? I'm going to go to the soup and the fire, and I'm going to do it! ”

Gongsun Li couldn't cry or laugh a little, no wonder this guy was so tough just now, it turned out that he was performing for the rest of the inn!

This kid is quite slippery, occupying the bowl and looking at the pot, he understands the principle of "taking precautions".

She waved her hand: "When we need a buddy, we will naturally come to you." ”

The guy was overjoyed: "Thank you, shopkeeper!" Then I'll get busy first! ”

The guy was sent away, and the scene fell silent again.

The three of Yu Hengsi couldn't communicate with each other, after all, the two catchers were around, so they could only pretend that they really came to the Taiping Restaurant to investigate, and they chatted with each other.

"The timing of each dish in Taiping Restaurant is very reasonable, and there is a clear arrangement for which dish is served first and which dish is served later, even when the staff is full, it should not make diners wait too long, which is worth learning."

"Taiping Restaurant is really still a gathering place for elegant people, and the diners who come here actually bring their own people, and it looks like they are either rich or expensive, maybe this is the essence of the restaurant!"

"Indeed, compared to the diners of our inn, who have three religions and nine streams, and everyone has them, Taiping Restaurant is much more upscale, and the diners are all with their own people, exquisite!"

"Well, these dishes are very delicious and worth considering."

The three of you said a word, and you couldn't help but say something against your will.

In fact, they don't care about the current situation of Taiping Restaurant at all, but they can't help it, the two catchers are staring at it, and they can only do a full set of plays.

After several successive blows in the Taiping Restaurant, the customer flow has indeed dropped very much, but there are still many people who are not rich or noble, and they all bring their own people.

In Chang'an City, the agency people are also the comparison of the upper class people, these agency people are more exquisite than the other, one is more elegant than the other, and some of the agency people even wear the whole body of brocade clothes, bringing out a long face.

On the side of the Yitian Inn, although there are occasionally such wealthy people, they are not as good as Taiping Restaurant in terms of quantity and quality.

It may be because the diners on the ground floor are attracted by the Yantian Inn, so at this time, the upper-class people in the Taiping Restaurant come and go, which is particularly conspicuous and eye-catching.

A boy in a brocade dress glanced over here, and deliberately looked at Yu Hengsi's two catchers, probably because they were relatively rare.

But he didn't pay much attention to it, and took his agency to the private room upstairs.

"Click."

As the machine man walked, his pace suddenly slowed down, a bit like he was stuck somewhere. But soon, it returned to normal and continued to follow the boy upstairs.

"Hey."

Brother Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and turned his head to look at the two Yu Hengsi's catchers.

One of them quickly said, "It looks like your trap is a little broken, find a time to fix it, otherwise it may be even worse." ”

Yu Hengsi is in charge of cases related to the agency, so the catchers more or less know a little bit about the art of the agency, and when they saw that Brother Gongzi's agency seemed to be a little faulty, he kindly reminded him.

Brother Gongzi nodded: "Thank you for the reminder." ”

With that, I continued upstairs.

The two of them were eating wine and food, and they were also a little bored. They obviously wanted to talk about Yu Hengsi's actions, but after all, the people in the inn were complicated, so they finally held back and just ate with their heads bored.

Soon, full of wine and food.

Gongsun Li came to the two catchers and said, "Two adults, we have finished our investigation and gained a lot, and now we plan to return to the inn." The two adults still have official duties, so it's better to ......"

The two catchers quickly stood up and looked at each other: "We have a duty to obey the order to escort you back to the inn, please." ”

……

A quarter of an hour later, the inn opened its doors again.

Gongsun left the counter and gave Yi Xing a look, but Yi Xing just played chess and did not respond.

It's really helpless!

I was going to start stepping on the point and completing the task today, but I didn't expect to be hit by Li Lin again.

After following Yaotian's team to inspect the Taiping Restaurant, the two catchers did not return to the team, but walked around the inn, obviously they were ordered by Li Lin to monitor the Yantian Inn.

For Yaotian's team, things got troublesome.

Inside the inn, there were many diners who came to visit, and outside the inn, there were people from Yu Hengsi patrolling.

What's even worse is that Yu Hengsi's catchers can often be seen on the street, and the target is the deep mansion compound that Pei Baohu has been watching before, which often has mixed-blood demon species entering and leaving!

Obviously, Yu Hengsi couldn't wait, and today he was going to launch a general attack on the hiding place of that mysterious mechanism master.

Gongsun Li was in a hurry, Yi Xing suddenly walked out of the chess club, glanced at her, and then came to the back kitchen.

The fireworker was busy, shuttling among the various ingredients, cooking the mutton and Hu cakes in the basin one by one, and Pei Baohu was going to serve the dishes one by one, very busy.

Seeing Gongsun Li and Yi Xing coming, Pei Baohu was still a little surprised: "Huh? Do you think I'm too tired and want to come over and help? ”

Yi Xing rolled his eyes: "Busy with you, we have something to say." ”

Pei Baohu: "......"

Gongsun Li asked with some curiosity, "Did you figure out how to leave the inn without being discovered by Yu Hengsi?" ”

Yi Xing shook his head.

Gongsun Li was a little disappointed, but he was still thinking about countermeasures: "In this case, we can only take risks." ”

"The two Yu Heng Division's catches are fast, if we are a little neater with our hands and feet, we should be able to knock them out without alarming too many people. But this matter can't be hidden for too long, there will definitely be diners in the inn to report to the official, there are a lot of Yu Hengsi's people around here, and the news will soon reach Li Lin. ”

"We not only have to avoid Yu Hengsi's entanglement, but also find that organ division first when Yu Hengsi's arrest is quick to search for that organ division, defeat him, and obtain the core ...... of the organ on his body."

"It's very difficult, but as long as we work together, there should still be hope!"

Yi Xing said: "The probability of failure of this plan is too high, so it is the next policy." ”

Gongsun Li said worriedly: "But we have no other way. ”

Yi Xing pondered for a moment: "Although I didn't think of a way to get out, I have a guess about the identity and hiding place of this mysterious mechanic. ”

Gongsun couldn't help but be surprised: "Really? Tell me about it? ”

Yi Xing's expression was focused, obviously his brain was running at high speed, and he entered a state of deep thinking: "Do you remember that the tiger said that pyrotechnics often get stuck?" The time is short, but it will soon be back to normal. ”

"Actually, you can see it now."

Gongsun Li stared at the busy fireworker in the back kitchen for a while, and found that it did have a sluggish stuttering phenomenon every once in a while, but it was very subtle and not obvious, and it was easy to ignore if it wasn't for a keen sense of observation.

Moreover, even if you notice it, you won't think much about it, after all, there are many imperfections in the art of the mechanism, and there may be all kinds of strange failures on the machine, such as this kind of small glitch that does not affect the use and is not too harmful, is not worth noting.

But Gongsun Li naturally thought of the scene he saw at the Taiping Inn today, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration and said, "Hey, the machine man we met at the Taiping Inn seems to be ...... too."

Yi Xing nodded: "Yes, the two of them have exactly the same problem!" ”

"And that's not all."

"Taiping Restaurant was originally prosperous, and it can be said to be one of the most popular restaurants in the entire Huaiyuanfang, where the three religions and nine streams gathered, and there are many billionaires or gentlemen who are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting."

"It's just that after our Yutian Inn became popular, the business of Taiping Restaurant plummeted, and many diners grabbed it better than our inn."

"But even in this case, there are still many wealthy people with agency people in and out of the Taiping Restaurant, and it seems that everyone else has been affected, but they still never abandon the Taiping Restaurant."

"Isn't this suspicious?"

Gongsun Li's two rabbit ears stood up, revealing a sudden expression.

Suspicious indeed!

In the past, there were many customers in Taiping Restaurant, and there were all three religions and nine streams, so it would not be strange for rich people with agency people to come and go.

But after the Yantian Inn snatched away a large number of customers from Taiping Restaurant, these rich people with agency people still did not abandon them, and even the number did not decrease at all, which is a bit strange.

Moreover, when Yaotian's team went to the Taiping Restaurant to investigate, Gongsun Li noticed that most of the diners who went to the Taiping Restaurant brought their own people.

In Chang'an City, many people regard the agency as their partner, friend, and family, and no matter where they go, it is not strange to take the agency person with them. But the agency people don't eat, even if there are a few rich people who like vassal elegance like to take the agency people around to show off, show off, and even bring them to the restaurant, but this situation should be a minority.

How can there be so many diners with them?

Gongsun Li said meaningfully: "So, this group of people has always existed, but the Taiping Restaurant had a prosperous business before, and there were many other diners, so it was covered up; Now the business of Taiping Restaurant is not working, and these people are like stones at the bottom of the river, finally surfacing the surface? ”

"This also explains why Taiping Restaurant would rather lose money than grab back the flow of customers, that is, it is worried that because there are too few diners, it is easy to expose the filling!"

Yi Xing nodded: "That's right." ”

"Moreover, the mechanism man brought by the boy brother also has the same jamming situation as the pyrotechnic, and it is indeed a little strange that such a similar failure appears on two completely different types of machine people."

"In addition, I also noticed that the deep mansion compound with half-blood demon species in and out of the courtyard that we had been eyeing before, and the Taiping Restaurant, the nearest place is actually separated by a narrow alley."

"It's just that their entrances are on two different streets, one is secluded and the other is bustling, so most people don't associate the two places together."

"According to the information we have so far, that mysterious mechanism division has an agency core that can change the action mode of the machine people, and can transform the mechanism people in a peaceful state into a combat state, so for Chang'an City, this organ core is a huge hidden danger, because as long as time passes, this mechanism division can transform many people in a peaceful state and create huge chaos."

"Let's make a bold guess, that mysterious mechanic is indeed still lurking in this area, and there are indeed a lot of half-blood demon thugs in that deep mansion compound, but that is all a trick he made to hide people's eyes and ears."

"It is very likely that his real body is hidden in the Taiping Restaurant, and he uses the Taiping Restaurant to match up and transform the agency for some dignitaries in Chang'an City, so as to make huge profits! That deep mansion compound is secretly connected to the Taiping Restaurant, once Yu Hengsi sends people to encircle and suppress, it will be dragged by the half-blood demon species, and the mysterious mechanic can use the Taiping Restaurant to get the golden cicada out of its shell and escape! ”

"Thinking about it this way, Su Muyang, the mechanic who sold us the pyrotechnics that day, is very suspicious!"

"According to the dossier obtained by the tiger, this mysterious mechanism master is not good-looking, has no obvious features, and most people will trust him when they first meet him, and naturally ignore his threat."

"When we met Su Muyang, we naturally didn't suspect him, did we?"

"And the dossier also says that this mysterious mechanic has a paranoid personality, emphasizing the rigor of the technique, and the maker can make many precise movements that ordinary people can't do, and is extremely popular in the underground black market."

"Isn't it precisely because the fireworker can accurately grasp the amount of seasoning and the heat of the ingredients that he makes the original Hu cake and mutton in the water basin?"

Gongsun couldn't help but be surprised, and said: "I still remember one thing, I received a letter from Sister Yuhuan this morning, she said that although the person who was tracking down was lost, she still deciphered a few key information: organs, weapons, and demon seeds, this person should be in Huaiyuanfang at present, and she is now rushing back day and night." ”

Is it possible that Yang Yuhuan is the same person they are tracking? A lot of clues are strung together in an instant!

But she quickly thought of a suspicious point: "But...... If Su Muyang is the mysterious mechanic hiding in the Taiping Restaurant, why did he send the pyrotechnic to help us? The fireman helped us rob the diners of the Taiping Restaurant, didn't it cause him to be exposed? ”

Yi Xing explained: "Our inn can become popular, not only because of the fireworks, but also because of the recipes of the tigers. If there is no recipe, no matter how precise the amount of firework is, it will be an ordinary meal, and it is impossible to make the inn explode and completely steal the diners of Taiping Restaurant. ”

"On the contrary, if the Yantian Inn is only open normally, it will also play a certain role in covering up the Taiping Restaurant."

"So I think that Su Muyang's original purpose may be to use our inn as a retreat and escape from Yu Hengsi's pursuit."

"It's just that he didn't expect that the tiger would really get the original recipe for Hu Cake and Water Basin Mutton, and cooperate with the fireman, which made the Yantian Inn famous, and disrupted his plan to a certain extent!"

"So I think he should be forced to flee earlier than originally planned, and before he escapes, he will definitely come to the Dining Sky Inn first to retrieve the fireman!"

"Time is running out, we have to get ready as soon as possible......"

However, as soon as Yi Xing's words fell, he heard a commotion outside.

Yu Hengsi's people have acted!

……

In that deep mansion compound, Yu Hengsi's catchers had already become a mess with the half-blood demon species!

Li Lin stood on a high place in full armor, and constantly commanded his hunters to chase and intercept them from all directions, trapping all suspicious people in this courtyard and catching turtles in an urn.

The people around the compound have all been evacuated, and Yu Hengsi has laid a net, wanting to catch the mysterious organ master today and close the case.

As for the farther afield, such as the Dining Sky Inn, it's still business as usual.

Because after a few days of secret observation, Li Lin had completely determined the number of half-blood demon species in this courtyard, even if the hidden mysterious mechanics and mechanics were counted, Yu Hengsi's manpower was completely sufficient.

Li Lin thought that this operation was foolproof, so he felt that there was no need to evacuate all the people in Huaiyuanfang, in that case, it would be a bit too big, too much excitement, even if the case was successfully completed, he might be punished by Lord Sikong.

The Hunters tried their best to rush in and search, but the half-bloods were still stubbornly resisting, and it was difficult to succeed in a hurry.

Li Lin was not in a hurry, he had always been a very cautious person, but he just let the catchers tighten the encirclement.

"Strictly guard against it, there must be no fish that slip through the net!"
