Noon.

The gate of Zhaofu is diagonally across the street, in the street box on the third floor of a restaurant.

Mr. Zhang sat on the chair, held a wine glass, raised his eyes and looked out the window, and at a glance he could see the gate of Zhao's mansion.

"The view is excellent. Sitting here, condescending, every time Zhao Mengshan enters and exits the Zhao Mansion, he can be seen at a glance, and it will not arouse his vigilance. If I am a killer and come to Zhao's Mansion to step on something, I will definitely come here to eat and drink, and take the opportunity to observe Zhao Mengshan's travel rules......"

As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Zhang greeted the shopkeeper who was waiting outside the box and asked him:

"In the past few days, has this box been frequented?"

"Huh?"

The shopkeeper was stunned for a moment, and turned his gaze to Mr. Zhang.

Well, on the seat opposite Mr. Zhang, Shen Lang was munching on the desk, cooking happily, holding a roast chicken and gnawing on his mouth full of oil.

Perhaps because Shen Lang was "Mu Qingxue's person", the county lord felt that his background was barely worthy of the friends of the Guogong Mansion, so he asked him to accompany Mr. Zhang to visit and investigate.

And when Mr. Zhang saw the expression of the shopkeeper, he thought that it was because of the presence of Shen Lang, a government official, that the junior did not dare to speak casually, so he threw over a golden melon seed and said in a deep voice:

"I am Zhang Wenbin, a friend of the Yingguo Mansion, and I am investigating the assassination of Zhao Mengshan. This Shen official was ordered by the county to accompany me to investigate the case. What do you know, you can tell the truth, and Shen Guanye will not blame. ”

Shen Lang also nodded, and said vaguely:

"That's right, I was assigned by the county lord to accompany Mr. Zhang to investigate the case. If you have anything to say, don't worry about me. ”

Hearing what he said, the shopkeeper quickly put away the golden melon seeds and said first:

"Thank you, Mr. Zhang!"

Then he glanced at Shen Lang again, and said cautiously:

"Well, during this time, every evening, the same person does patronize this box......"

Mr. Zhang's eyes lit up:

"Who?"

The shopkeeper stopped talking again, and only went to see Shen Lang frequently.

Mr. Zhang frowned slightly, and said secretly:

"This villain is really insatiable!"

With a cold face, he took out another golden melon seed and threw it to Xiao Er:

"Hurry up!"

Xiao Er swallowed his saliva, took the second golden melon seed, and looked like he didn't dare to accept it, while still frequently looking at Shen Lang.

For the second junior of this shop, he may not know how much energy a "friend of the Guogong Mansion" has, but he must know what a local county official can toss himself into.

So there are some things that he really doesn't dare to say.

"Forget it, Mr. doesn't have to embarrass this little two, I'll tell you."

Shen Lang finished nibbling on a chicken leg, wiped his fingers with a towel, and said with a smile:

"In the past few days, every evening, I will come here to order a table of wine and eat until the restaurant closes. So the person Mr. Zhang is looking for is just me. ”

Shen Lang revealed himself, and the shopkeeper suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, and nodded again and again:

"Yes, yes, it's Master Shen. These days, it is Master Shen who patronizes this box every day. ”

“……”

The corners of Mr. Zhang's eyes twitched, and he was speechless for a while:

I guessed correctly!

Shen Lang was indeed Mu Qingxue's secret agent, and she placed him in the county office, and it was really to investigate Zhao Mengshan!

Otherwise, why would he order a table here every day to observe the Zhao Mansion?

This restaurant is not cheap.

This top-floor box with the best view is more expensive, and the minimum cost is a silver dollar. A servant in Shenlang District, with a salary of only two yuan a month, why can he eat and drink here every day?

Can he afford it?

So there must be Mu Qingxue's reimbursement funds!

As for whether Shen Lang is suspected of being an assassin......

This thought flashed in Mr. Zhang's mind, but he quickly and categorically denied it.

Don't be kidding, with Shen Lang's entry-level body and martial arts, why did he sneak in and out of the Zhao Mansion without leaving a trace?

And when he walked with a sword, no matter where the waist knife was placed, or according to the technique of the waist knife, it was all wrong, obviously there was no blade foundation, why did he break Zhao Mengshan's arm with a sword, and then pierce the throat with a sword?

Besides, if Mu Qingxue really wanted Zhao Mengshan's life, she would only swagger into Zhao's mansion in broad daylight, announce Zhao Mengshan's crime in public, and then take off his head casually.

There will be no sneak assassination at all.

Mr. Zhang absolutely trusts his eyesight and his judgment.

He even dared to bet with his own tricks: Shen Lang could only be a spy with special intelligence talents, and he couldn't be that kind of professional assassin.

confirmed that his guess was reliable, but Mr. Zhang was not happy at all.

First, this has nothing to do with the assassination of Zhao Mengshan, but it has broken a clue - Shen Lang dominates this best observation position every day, isn't there no way for the killer to step on it here?

In the second place, with Mu Qingxue's background, all the cases investigated were big cases, and all the big tigers were fights, how could he focus on a mere Zhao Mengshan for no reason?

She arranged for Shen Lang to investigate Zhao Mengshan at any cost, it was definitely impossible just to defeat Zhao Mengshan!

"Mu Qingxue's intentions are sinister, and on the surface, he is trying his best to pursue the Blood Shadow Sect, but in fact, he has secretly sent secret agents to investigate the Zhao family, and the sword is aimed at the Guogong......

"If it weren't for Zhao Mengshan being assassinated by the assassins, I would have come to the scene in time to see through Shen Lang's details, but I'm afraid that I would still be kept in the dark!

"Zhao Mengshan died wonderfully! With his death, Mu Qingxue's arrangements in Changsheng County were all in vain! That assassin can be regarded as a crooked attack, and he has made a great contribution!

"But in addition to Changsheng County, in other places related to Grandpa Guo, are there any secret agent hidden piles planted by Mu Qingxue? No, I can't stay in Changsheng County anymore! You must rush back to the city immediately and report Mu Qingxue's plan to Grandpa Guo! ”

As soon as he thought of this, Mr. Zhang couldn't care about continuing the investigation - Zhao Mengshan's death is important and important, but it's not important, it's really not very important.

Because the only person who really cares about Zhao Mengshan's life or death is Mrs. Zhao in the side room of the Duke of Guo.

But no matter how favored Mrs. Zhao is, in the face of major events involving the survival of the Guogong Mansion, no matter how much she cries to the grandfather of the country, the grandfather of the country will not make extraneous branches at this juncture and spend her energy on such trivial matters as the death of Zhao Mengshan.

"Shen Xiaoyou, I suddenly remembered an important matter, I need to return to Fucheng as soon as possible and report to Grandpa Guo."

"Huh? Mr. Zhang is leaving? The case of Zhao Dashao's assassination ......"

"The county government has capable officials such as Zhao Junshan and Zhu Hu, as well as rising stars like Shen Xiaoyou, who are both wise and brave and have a promising future. As for Zhang, after all, he is just a white body, and he has no experience in detectives, so he won't make trouble here. ”

"Mr. Zhang is too polite. But...... Isn't the assassination case of Zhao Mengshan already clear? The murderer is the assassin of the Blood Shadow Sect, and the county lord sent someone to Fucheng early in the morning to present the case documents, I believe that soon, the lord of the mansion will send a sea capture document to arrest the assassin of the Blood Shadow Sect and avenge Zhao Gongzi. ”

“……”

The corners of Mr. Zhang's eyes twitched slightly, and he laughed dryly:

"Yes, the murderer is the Blood Shadow Cult Assassin. What's that, Zhang has something to do, and he can't delay for a moment, so he will leave, Shen Xiaoyou don't send it! ”

After finishing the wine money, he hurried out of the restaurant and rode out of the city.

"Mr. Zhang is a particular person, don't be so busy, you haven't forgotten to check out!"

Shen Lang sighed with emotion, sent away the shopkeeper, closed the door of the box, released Xiaoyu and Xiao Zhao from the space, and enjoyed the wine and food with the two of them.

As for the small bone, it doesn't need to eat, and on an occasion like a restaurant, it's not suitable to let it out, so I have to wronged it and continue to stay in the space.

[Shen Lang, is the matter over? ] 】

Xiao Zhao asked in his heart while munching on a steamed river fish.

"It's over for now. The surnamed Zhang didn't know what to make up in his brain, and halfway through the investigation, he left in a hurry and returned to Fucheng. ”

Xiaoyu asked: [Then let's go next, can we live with peace of mind?] 】

"You may be able to live a comfortable life, but you also have to be prepared for danger in times of peace. In this operation, although thanks to Xiao Zhao, you did not leave any clues, and were rated as a 'professional killer' by Lao Zhao, but there are still extraordinary abilities such as Taoism and witchcraft in this world, and God knows if anyone can find clues out of thin air.

Zhang Wenbin left in a hurry, perhaps realizing that he alone could not find out anything, so he rushed back to Fucheng to ask for help. Therefore, we still can't slack off in our cultivation. ”

Xiao Zhao: [Then do you want to practice Tiger Claw Gong?] I'll teach you! 】

"Tiger Claw Gong has a clean history, you can practice it, and it is also good to have multiple fists and feet to work around. But the focus is still on swordsmanship......"

[Ask for a ticket~! ] 】
