Chapter Ninety-Eight: Ten Days Later
85_85558Fan Xiaoqi couldn't help but stand up from the chair with joy after hearing this long-lost promise. Then he grabbed the wrinkled, calloused old hand of *Shi Yang Yun, and said excitedly: "Great." Thank you, thank you. ”
After a while, Fan Xiaoqi said goodbye to Yang Yun, the * master with a satisfied face, and returned to his cell escorted by the soldiers.
When he entered, he found several fellow inmates wrapped in gauze from their injuries meeting him with puzzled expressions on their faces, just like they had done last time.
But this time, instead of shrinking from the fear he did last time, he answered the questions he wanted to ask a few of his fellow inmates who already had a certain foundation of friendship.
"Uh...... I, just now, was called by *Shi Yang Yun to solve the problem of the 'magic box'. Fan Xiaoqi said earnestly.
"Oh?......" Zhao Yu nodded clearly.
After listening to Fan Xiaoqi's explanation, the doubts on the faces of the others were greatly reduced, but the doubts were still not completely dissipated.
So, Fan Xiaoqi went on to explain: "By the way, I taught *Shi Yang Yun another skill about the 'magic box', so ...... That's why I didn't come back until now. He shrugged his shoulders in the room.
Immediately, the faces of several people suddenly brightened.
"Yes, so this time, did he give you any benefits?" He Laosan asked curiously with a pouting mouth.
"Benefits?" Fan Xiaoqi thought for a moment and said, "Hehe." *Shi Yangyun agreed to a special request from me. ”
"Oh, what is the request?" Cao Xuan asked with a wink.
Several other people also looked at Fan Xiaoqi expectantly, waiting for his answer.
So Fan Xiaoqi smiled and continued: "A request that can make Chen Tie jump up happily." After speaking, he gave a mysterious look at the chubby Chen Tie.
"The ...... that can make me happy" Chen Tie's eyes widened, his mouth widened, and he said with a look of surprise.
"yes. Fan Xiaoqi smiled and touched his chin, but deliberately did not answer.
"What a request. Say it quickly!" Nangong Wuxian said eagerly.
"yes. Say it!"
"Tell me about it!"
..................
Several other people were also frizzy by his clever pause.
After Fan Xiaoqi successfully whetted his appetite and achieved his goal of making himself comfortable, he finally continued to say the answer he should have said with a satisfied smile: "* Shi Yang Yun finally promised me that he would allow a person to walk out of this big prison with me and go outside to train with me. ”
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the five people almost immediately became ecstatic, and their eyebrows fluttered.
"Wow!"
"Did he agree?"
"He agreed so quickly, unlikely!"
"It's definitely VIP treatment, absolutely. ”
Under the joyful exclamations and unconfident gazes of several people, Fan Xiaoqi walked from the door to his bed with a confident smile, and sat down to continue to observe and enjoy the happiness on the faces of several people because of himself.
After the pleasant atmosphere calmed down a little, Zhao Yu turned his head to Fan Xiaoqi and asked, "So, Chen Tie can go out with you from tomorrow?"
"Oh, not yet. * The division said that it would take a few more days. Fan Xiaoqi said with a little regret.
"How many days?"
"How many days?"
Several people almost spoke in unison, looking at Fan Xiaoqi and asking.
"Uh...... He hasn't said yet, but I don't think it will be more than ten days at most. Fan Xiaoqi said helplessly.
"Oh. Ten days ......"
"Ten Days ......"
The faces of the five people were mixed with joy and a hint of regret.
Subsequently, the prison returned to its usual calm. Fan Xiaoqi continued to lie on the bed, took out the 'Anthology of Love Stories' and read it slowly. The other five, in a happy mood, began to do their own things again.
For the next few days, Fan Xiaoqi was escorted to the practice room every morning under the envious gaze of several others to receive guidance and training from various officers. Although most of the officers had a rather casual and irresponsible attitude towards this 'juvenile murderer'. But Fan Xiaoqi is very serious in learning, and he is also very able to endure hardships when training. The training targets given to him have always been exceeded, and none of them failed to meet the standards. So much so that several officers were so impressed by his persistent attitude and perseverance that they couldn't help but teach him some of their unique skills.
Of course, in this way, Fan Xiaoqi is also more energetic and able to train harder. In order to allow him to achieve the best training results, several officers asked Yang Yun for instructions from the * division and gave him an additional hour of training time every day.
For about two hours in the morning, he was training in the training room and on the outskirts of the large prison. In the afternoons and evenings, he would lie in his bed to study theoretical knowledge and flip through entertaining books in his free time, and sometimes spare a small amount of time to chat with a few fellow inmates.
Time is again in this hard, boring, but thriving, day after day environment, day after day.
Ten days will soon come. In these short ten days, Fan Xiaoqi's combat power has greatly improved compared to before, and according to the officers, his current combat power is close to the second order.
On this day, after Fan Xiaoqi finished training, he replied to his prison under the escort of soldiers. Once inside, he walked over to his bed. However, at this time, he was also worried about the promise that made them wait for a long time, just like his five fellow inmates.
So, as soon as he sat on the edge of the bed, he immediately began to think about it in his heart.
It's been ten days, and according to my estimates, it's ten days at most, but the *shi hasn't given me any news. Could it be that he was in trouble? Or did he regret it?......
Just when his heart was anxious, a familiar voice, which made him feel extremely embarrassed in this special environment, rang in his ears.
"Uh...... I said, Fan Xiaoqi. You, how did you do with me last time?" Chen Tie asked tentatively with some concern.
"Oh, that's it......" Fan Xiaoqi replied with a smile as he quickly thought about what to do. After a while, Fan Xiaoqi finally decided that it was better to deceive the past first. So, with a relaxed smile, he replied with a pretended earnestness, "Oh, that's right. I just asked *Shi Yang Yun about this. He said that he still needs to discuss the matter with his superiors again. ”
"Oh, yes, then, how long will it take?" Chen Tie continued to ask.
"Uh...... Well, this one. I still don't know. But, I think, it won't be long. When Fan Xiaoqi said this, he almost didn't dare to look into Chen Tie's eyes.
"Oh. Chen Tie nodded with a disappointed expression and stopped talking.
The other five people in the cell were all staring at Fan Xiaoqi's face expectantly. But when he heard Fan Xiaoqi's prevarication, he was like Chen Tie, he glanced to the side with a lost face and went to his own side.
After this dreary atmosphere lasted for about two minutes, Cao Xuan was the first to break the silence.
"I said, Fan Xiaoqi. Cao Xuanchao sat on the bed, stretched his neck to look at Fan Xiaoqi, and shouted at him.
Fan Xiaoqi put down the book in his hand and glanced back at him suspiciously.
"Fan Xiaoqi, I'm wondering, is there someone blocking it?" Cao Xuan said meaningfully.
"Someone is blocking it?" said Fan Xiaoqi, pretending to be confused.
"yes. Have you ever heard of a guy named 'Yan Bing'?" Cao Xuan asked with a serious look at Fan Xiaoqi.
"Yan Bing, I ......," Fan Xiaoqi said with some surprise.
However, just as he was about to say something, he was interrupted by Cao Xuan: "Do you know?
Yan Bing was originally a man from a poor family. However, this person has been diligent and studious since he was a child, and he can be literate and martial, especially in judging cases and judging cases. When he was twenty-five or sixteen years old, he was taken into trial by an Aegean man who took a fancy to his talent and accepted him as his retainer. Since then, he has shown his talent and made steady progress, and in less than three years, he has become a well-known detective in the 'Aegean Country', and has been given the nickname 'Flying Dog'.
The reason why he is called 'Flying Dog'. That's because, first, he judged the case with divine accuracy, so that those who broke the law could not be careful. It made them feel as if Yan Bing would fly over at any moment, appear in a place they didn't expect, and arrest them in prison. Second, he is also very loyal to his superiors, like a dog. When he said this, Cao Xuan couldn't help but smile.
Although Fan Xiaoqi had already heard of Yan Bing's deeds, he didn't know the specific details of Cao Xuan's preaching, so he also pretended to be deaf and dumb at this time and did not express any opinions, and listened attentively to Cao Xuan's further explanation.
So, after Cao Xuan smiled, he continued: "About a year ago, he received the case of a 'big thief through the wall'. Yan Bing competed with the 'Thief Through the Wall' and won in the end. As a result, his reputation was known throughout the Holy Alliance for a while. But the good times didn't last long, just a few months after the 'thief through the wall' was caught in prison, but due to the negligence of the guards, the prisoner who was vital to him escaped.
In order to save his reputation and regain the attention of his superiors, Yan Bing secretly made up his mind that Jiang Rong must be re-arrested within a year. So, after Jiang Rong escaped, he devoted most of his energy to the case of arresting Jiang Rong. In the process of fighting wits and courage with Jiang Rong, he was almost able to arrest him several times, bring him to justice and complete it. But unfortunately, in the end, success and luck still passed him.
However, he is a man who refuses to admit defeat easily, and his heart is like an iron beating. Failure can only bring him higher morale and more experience, and will never bring him discouragement and pain.
With this spirit of steel walls, one day not long ago, he finally waited for the perfect opportunity given to him by God to capture Jiang Rong.
The whole thing is like this. Because most of the major cases committed by Jiang Rong were mainly theft of gold, silver, jewelry and precious jewelry. Therefore, Yan Bing was alert to some, he thought that Jiang Rong was most likely to pass by, and there were many notices posted near towns and even villages. The focus is on sticking in the vicinity of auction houses and pawn shops, as well as jewelry and jewelry stores.
Of course, most of these notices are not directly posted in the name of the official. Most of them are in the name of 'Lord So-and-so' or 'So-and-so Lady', and the notice reads, "I have recently lost one of my favorite beloved items." It was a gift from his wife, or to someone close to him. After the loss, I thought about it and couldn't sleep well. If you are lucky enough to get this item and return it to me, I will not only buy it in its original form, but also give you a large prize. ’
In this way, as long as Jiang Rong couldn't help but enjoy himself, he sold one of the gold, silver, jewelry, and precious jewelry in his hand to one of the shops listed above, either by himself or through his friends. Then, his whereabouts will be directly or indirectly exposed. ”
"Really, I'm a little strange, how do you know so specific?" When Fan Xiaoqi heard this, he deliberately interrupted Fan Xiaoqi's words and asked with a curious expression.
"Huh. Well, it's all thanks to one of my good friends who lives in this prison like me. Cao Xuan said with a smile.
"Your good friend?" Fan Xiaoqi asked with some surprise.
"Yes. It's that he and Yan Bing have known each other for a long time, and I learned these details from his mouth. Cao Xuan continued to maintain the smile on his face and then explained.
"I see. Fan Xiaoqi nodded knowingly and said, "It turns out that this is how he caught Jiang Rong." ”
"Oh, you know Jiang Rong too. Cao Xuan asked with some surprise.
"Oh. Oh, yes. I was caught here by Yan Bing with him. Fan Xiaoqi smiled embarrassedly and said.
"That's right. Cao Xuan nodded and continued: "Since you also know Yan Bing, then I don't have to go into details. In short, you'd better investigate it secretly, and after figuring out the situation, think about whether there is a way to deal with it. In this way, perhaps the chances of the * teacher agreeing to you will be greater. ”
"You have a point. I...... Got it. Fan Xiaoqi nodded sincerely.
Then, calm returned to the cell. Fan Xiaoqi also lay on the bed again and began to slowly open his precious books
