Chapter 391
"What calculation?" asked Sechin.
Old man Zu smiled slightly.
"Of course it started a war. ”
Xie Qin opened his mouth and didn't speak.
Seeing his expression, Old Man Zu smiled again, and asked rhetorically, "Otherwise, why do you think Zhang Xuan would want to take us back?"
"Not for ...... Do you settle yesterday's accounts?" Xie Qin thought for a moment and said.
"If it's to settle yesterday's account, why don't you settle it here?" asked Old Man Zu.
"Ah, do you mean why doesn't he kill us here?" Sechin asked rhetorically.
"Yes. Old man Zu bowed slightly.
Xie Qin thought about it again and said, "I think...... Probably...... Not enough. ”
"Not enough?" Old Man Zu was slightly stunned and asked rhetorically, "What's not enough?"
"I mean, just kill us, it's not funny for him. Xie Qin held his chin and said in thought.
Old man Zu said: "Even if you are not angry, you can solve it here." I don't deny you, but my question is, why did he take us captive?"
"Probably...... He didn't know the situation here, so he didn't dare to stay here for a long time. Xie Qin pondered.
"Then what do these people say?" Old Man Zu pointed out the window, "They can stay here for more than two hours, right?"
"Uh......" Sechin was momentarily speechless.
"And, Sechin," said Old Man Zu again, "there's one thing you haven't noticed. ”
"What's the matter?" asked Sechin.
Old Man Zu said leisurely: "From the time the spy went back to Zhang Xuan in the early hours of this morning, to this morning, when the people from the Elder Brotherhood invaded the safe house, there was a time difference of five or six hours. ”
After the old man said this, Xie Qindeng's heart moved, he had also considered this matter before.
"What do you think they have done during this time?" asked Old Man Zu.
Well...... didn't figure this out just now, Xie Qin shook his head secretly, and then said his thoughts: "Could it be that it is inconvenient to move at night?"
Before the words fell, Tang Zhong, Zu Yuji, Qi Buer and Old Man Zu looked at him together, their expressions were very subtle.
Xie Qin was stunned for a moment, and he also felt that what he said was inappropriate.
"Brother Lingsheng, are you serious?" asked Zu Yuji, her tone a little incredulous.
"It stands to reason that the most convenient time for this kind of action is not at night?" Tang Zhong asked rhetorically.
Qi Buji said: "Sneak attacks have the best effect at night. ”
"Xie Qin," Old Man Zu's tone was a little distressed, "how could you give such a cerebral answer?
"Well, no. Xie Qin waved his hand again and again, a little embarrassed, it was true that his brain was not very good when he first woke up, and it was wishful thinking when he speculated.
Hey, he shook his head secretly, when he spoke just now, he should have thought about it.
"This answer is really too slippery," Old Man Zu shook his head and said to Xie Qin with a very serious expression, "Think about it again. ”
Xie Qin thought about it again, and said tentatively to the old man, "Could it be that you are investigating the surroundings?"
"That's pretty much it. Old man Zu smiled slightly.
Xie Qin also laughed wryly.
"That's it," said Old Man Zu, "during that time, Zhang Xuan must have sent someone to investigate the surroundings. ”
"Hmm. Xie Qin nodded.
Old man Zu said: "It is precisely because of this that the elders' group dare to gag during working hours, because they know that this job is not in a hurry." Look at the people below. He pointed out the window again.
Xie Qin and the others came up to take a look, and saw that the group of people below were still the same as just now, scattered in twos and threes, all moving their mouths and lips, and they knew that they were gags at a glance.
"Look. Old man Zu said, "We have been talking about this for so long, but they haven't noticed that something is wrong, what does this mean?"
"It means that this job is not rushed. Xie Qin repeated what Old Man Zu had said just now.
"Yes. Old man Zu bowed slightly.
Everyone walked back again, and Old Man Zu continued: "So, the situation around here, Zhang Xuan must have investigated it clearly, and when he gave orders to his subordinates, he obviously did not emphasize the need for a quick solution. ”
Zu Yuji also said: "They will be so unscrupulous, which shows that they are not worried about being seen by others." ”
"There's no one else here, right?" Old Man Zu asked Tang Zhong.
When Tang Zhong heard this, he immediately shook his head and said, "No." ”
"What about the owner of the grocery store?" asked Sechin, "the one where we went to pick up the delivery." ”
"He's the owner of the grocery store. Tang Zhong said.
"Oh, that's it!" Xie Qin suddenly realized, he had thought of him as an informant arranged by Zimingtang near here, but it turned out that I was thinking too much.
"In other words, there are no companions in Zimingtang around here. Zu Yuji said.
"Yes," Tang Zhong nodded, "Didn't I say it before, this safe house has always been idle, to be exact, from the day it was bought, it has been used several times now." ”
"That's right. Zu Yuji nodded.
"Well, that's why they dare to be so unscrupulous. Old man Zu smiled.
"I remember, the guy said at the time......" Xie Qin recalled what his predecessor had said, "it would be best if he could catch us alive, and if something went wrong and we didn't faint, we would be killed on the spot." ”
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard this.
Old Man Zu sighed and said, "This is another reason why they are so unscrupulous." ”
Xie Qin said: "Old man, you have been talking for a long time just now, what do you want to say?"
Old man Zu said: "It's still that question, since the environment here is so good, why doesn't Zhang Crossbow settle accounts with us here?"
"Uh......"
Xie Qin was speechless for a while, and now that he knows these circumstances, he can't think about it so simply.
Think about it from the perspective of Zhang Xuan......
Xie Qin thought for a while and said to Old Man Zu, "Could it be that he is afraid of being heard by others?"
Old Man Zu was stunned when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "What are you afraid of being heard by others?"
"Voice," said Sechin, "if it were torture, there would have been a sound." ”
Everyone looked at Xie Qin, and their expressions became a little subtle again, but they were not the same as Fang Cai's expressions.
"How...... What's wrong?" Xie Qin said curtly, secretly wondering in his heart, did I not think about what I said? No, I feel that I have thought it through some thought.
"How dare you think about it, Brother Ringtone. Zu Yuji looked at him and said.
"Huh?" Xie Qin was stunned.
"You did think about it from Zhang Xuan's point of view...... Tang Zhong nodded, "However, the sound insulation of this house is still very good." ”
"Really?" Xie Qin was stunned again.
"Well, and there's a mechanism in this house, and all the windows will be closed, so as long as you don't throw bombs in the house, you won't be able to hear it from outside. ”
"What?" Xie Qin was taken aback and asked loudly, "Why did you make this room so tight?!"
"Because this room is the stronghold of Zimingtang. Tang Zhong explained, "And in the original plan, under certain circumstances...... he paused for a few seconds before he said the last sentence, "this room is to be used as an interrogation room." ”
?!
When Xie Qin heard this, he was stunned at first, and then his hair stood on end.
He suddenly understood what the words "interrogation room" meant.
What Zimingtang wants to do with this house is the same thing I expected, what Zhang Xuan wanted to do!
He looked at Tang Zhong blankly, not knowing what to say.
Tang Zhong noticed Xie Qin's expression, and also knew what he was thinking, shook his head, sighed, and said, "This is the matter of the reign of the previous hall master, he is an old man, and he has experienced the matter of the Tang Sect being forced out of the rivers and lakes by the elder brothers...... Somewhat unwilling, he purchased some properties all over Sichuan, just to prepare for the expansion when the Tang Sect makes a comeback one day. ”
"I see," Sechin understood, "but it didn't work in the end." ”
"Yes," Tang Zhong nodded, "After that, although the elder brother will be suppressed by the Wuyi Society, the Wuyi Society will treat other gangs that dare to take the lead equally. Although he didn't make a move against the Tang Sect, it was just because the Tang Sect was relatively peaceful. At that time, the owner of the door knew this very well, so he made up his mind to retire for a long time. In this case, the hall master never saw any thoughts, and finally died depressed, and the property he had purchased during his reign was left unused. ”
"I see......"
Xie Qin nodded heavily, and at the same time as he bought the house, he made changes to the house, and also transformed it into an interrogation room...... Obviously, that hall master had no intention of treating the opponents who were in front of the Tang Sect's expansion.
He looked at Fuji, Xiaoyu and the old man, their expressions were all very flat, and they didn't seem to think that this was a strange thing at all.
It seems that this situation is very common in the rivers and lakes. Xie Qin thought to himself.
"However, Brother Zhong, the Elder Brothers should not know about this organ, right?" Xie Qin asked.
"Well......" Tang Zhong nodded, "Actually, I don't know where that organ is." ”
"Huh?" Xie Qin was stunned when he heard this.
"After all, they have been idle for too long and no one is using them," Tang Zhong explained, "I just heard about it from the hall master, but the hall master doesn't know where the organs are, and the organs of these safe houses are different in each location, and they are quite hidden, even if they are suspiciously searched, it is not easy to find." ”
"That's ......" Xie Qin nodded, and turned to Old Man Zu, "Old man, since the Elder Brothers' Association and those people don't know that there is a mechanism here, then they will definitely not torture here." That's why they brought us back, isn't that a normal thing?"
"You do have a point," said the old man, "but I don't think that's the reason. ”
"What's that?" Sechin asked.
