A large room in the north middle of Shangwu Hall is the office of the hall master and lecturer, and it is also the place where Xiao Tianming and them came to receive the task. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
When it was Xiao Tianming's turn, more than 20 people had already taken the task and left.
"This is the place where Hall Master Zhou and their office work, it's really simple. Xiao Tianming entered the big house and couldn't help but sigh a little.
There were seven large desks in the room, one of which was empty, and the other six were all sitting behind them.
In the corner of each table against the aisle is a small wooden sign with the name and position of the person.
"It's self-explanatory. Xiao Tianming secretly wrote down everyone's names.
There are two people in the first row, Xu Guo and Li Yong, the first and second grade literature lecturers, Xu Guo is still dressed in white, handsome and extraordinary, and he nodded slightly to him when he saw Xiao Tianming.
That Li Yong was a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a rough face and a fierce aura, his brows were furrowed at the moment, and he was staring at an official document in his hand.
The two people in the second row are Wang Qi and Xu Ran, the third- and fourth-grade literature lecturers, Wang Qi is in his early twenties, handsome as Xu Guo, but he is full of arrogance, not as gentle as Xu Guo, he glanced at Xiao Tianming a few times, and then lowered his head to do his own thing.
Xu Ran is a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, with picturesque eyebrows, quiet and beautiful, with a beautiful temperament, holding an old book and watching, not realizing Xiao Tianming's arrival.
"Is this woman actually a fourth-grade lecturer!" Xiao Tianming was a little curious, "Looking at her appearance, she is a little similar to Lecturer Xu, also known as Xu Ran, I don't know what the relationship between the two is." ”
Sitting on the left side of the third row was the lecturer Li Tie, who was like a black iron tower, who was thinking about a list at the moment, Xiao Tianming's eyes were sharp, and he found that it was the list of Shangwutang students, and there was his own name in it.
The right side of the third row is empty, and it turns out to be the deputy hall master on the wooden plaque, whose name is Zhang Fu.
There is only one table in the last row, it is Hall Master Zhou, he is in his Chinese New Year's Eve, his face is square, his face is gentle, and his whole person exudes a brilliant atmosphere.
"It turns out that the name of the hall master is Zhou Huai. Xiao Tianming saw the wooden sign on the corner of the table.
"Xiao Tianming, this is your task list. There was a stack of papers on the table at this time, and Hall Master Zhou took one from the top and handed it to him.
"Yijia Gambling House Murder ......" Xiao Tianming took a general look, and was attracted by a sentence in the lower right corner of the paper.
"Mandate Bearers - Chen Jinghua, Chen Sheng and Xiao Tianming. ”
Xiao Tianming suddenly felt that the end was coming, and hurriedly raised an objection: "Hall Master Zhou, I don't know if you can change the task for me?"
"Brush, brush" sounded three times, except for Li Yong and Xu Ran, the other three lecturers all looked at him, but their expressions were slightly different, Xu Guo was surprised, Li Tie was a matter of course, and Wang Qi had a contemptuous look.
"Just a murder scared you, are you still worthy of being called a martial artist?" Wang Qi, a third-grade lecturer, sneered with a proud face.
Xiao Tianming frowned, but he didn't refute, but looked at Hall Master Zhou, because only Hall Master Zhou could call the shots.
"Xiao Tianming, the murder case of the Yijia Gambling House was handed over to you and Chen Jinghua and others after a lot of consideration, and we can't just transfer it to others, I hope you can work together with the other two people, don't let us down." Although Zhou Huai's voice was gentle, it was full of an unquestionable bearing.
Xiao Tianming's words were held in his stomach and he couldn't say anything, so he had no choice but to take the task list and leave the house.
Soon, everyone took over the task and went their own way.
"Tianming, what task have you received?" Sun Yu and Zhao Ruomu ran over.
"Help the Shilong Town Government investigate the case, oh, the murder of the Yijia gambling house. Xiao Tianming handed the task sheet to Zhao Ruomu as he spoke, and Sun Yu immediately came to watch beside him.
"It turned out to be a team mission, or with the kid surnamed Chen. Sun Yu's face was a little gloating, "If you have a chance, you must teach that kid a good lesson." ”
"What about your mission?" Xiao Tianming asked.
"We, it's also a group task, I, my senior brother and Wang He went to Heihe Village together, I heard that the embankment broke over there, and we went over there to help build the embankment. ”
"Hurry up, Heihe Village is low, and if you arrive a moment late, their losses will be greater. Xiao Tianming urged Sun Yu.
Zhao Ruomu also had this intention, and seeing that Sun Yu still wanted to say more, he hurriedly pulled him away.
As soon as they left, Chen Jinghua rushed over with Chen Sheng.
"I've seen Brother Xiao. Chen Jinghua was very polite, and his face was no longer polite, but became polite, "This murder still requires me and the other three to work together, why don't you put aside your prejudices and cooperate temporarily?"
Seeing Chen Jinghua with such a low profile, although Xiao Tianming always felt a strange feeling, it was not good to continue to look at his face, and he also changed his smile: "Brother Chen's words are serious, let's cooperate sincerely and complete this task together!"
"Good. The two looked at each other and smiled, their smiles being very hypocritical.
The three of them immediately left Shangwutang and rushed to the town office, where the head catcher who handled the case was already waiting.
"Brother Chen was born in Shilong Town, so I don't know if I know anything about this Yijia gambling house. Xiao Tianming suddenly looked at Chen Jinghua and asked.
"This, it's not a secret, although I am from Shilong Town, I have been concentrating on martial arts, and I am not proficient in eating, drinking, and having fun, so I naturally don't know anything about the gambling house. Chen Jinghua hesitated slightly before answering.
Although it was only for a moment, Xiao Tianming had already caught the slightest hesitation, and scolded in his heart: "This bastard, just now he said that he was cooperating, and now he is not even willing to share information, I know that it is unreliable." ”
"Oh, then let's go to the town office and ask about the headcatcher. Xiao Tianming smiled.
"It's fine. ”
The two of them said no more and hurried on their way.
The town administration office and Shangwutang are in the north of Shilong Town, after a while, the three people rushed to the town governance office, the town governance office is a big house, there is an archway in front of the house, there are flowers and birds painted, lifelike, the modeling structure is very similar to the governance of Shishan Village, but the more gorgeous atmosphere here.
At this moment, a head catcher and several catchers are waiting by the archway, looking like they want to wear it.
Seeing Xiao Tianming and the three of them, the head catcher immediately stepped forward, and said with a smile: "In Xia Cai Ming, Chen Gongzi, and all the masters of Shangwutang, this time I have worked hard." ”
"Cai Zhutou is polite, I don't know if you can introduce this case for us?" Chen Jinghua was calm, and took the initiative to ask for information, just like the leader of the group.
Xiao Tianming didn't interject, and watched coldly, while Chen Shengwei and Chen Jinghua were the first to look forward, so naturally they wouldn't interject.
