Chapter 295: Leading the Nose
Qiu Peng came into contact with the leader's surprised eyes, smiled, and then said, "I can't make up my mind, whether to search this study." He was in his study when Kitano was discovered earlier, and if he found any clues here, it was certainly too late for him to destroy it, but it could also be that he deliberately left it behind. Therefore, I am afraid that searching this study will be harmful and useless. ”
Qiu Peng turned his head and saw that the leader was dazed, smiled and shook his head, turned his head and walked in, the whole study was neat, the four walls were full of towering bookshelves, all the way to the roof, and all kinds of books were neatly placed on the shelves.
Qiu Peng walked over to the huge writing desk facing the window and sat down, imagining what he would normally sit here and do if he were Cai Ziheng's editor-in-chief.
Qiu Peng stood up, followed the bookshelf, and looked over at the books one by one, and there were thousands of books in the entire study.
Qiu Peng returned to the desk, lowered his head, put his head on the ground and looked down at the desk, the light below was very dim, Qiu Peng faintly saw that the table was low against the wall, there seemed to be a piece of paper iǎiǎ, Qiu Peng's heart moved, could it be that Cai Ziheng's subordinates missed it when they were cleaning up?
Qiu Peng stretched out his hand, ignoring the dust and cobwebs under the table, and took out the piece of paper with his fingers, which was a broken piece of paper, an irregular piece of paper torn from a certain piece of paper.
Qiu Peng thought for a while, and suddenly said: "Yes, when destroying important documents, first tear these papers into pieces, and then burn them to destroy the evidence." The piece of paper must have fallen under the desk when it was shredded, so it was not found. ”
Qiu Peng actually didn't have much hope in his heart, because it was almost impossible to find complete information on this kind of note. Unexpectedly, Qiu Peng found an incomplete address on it: South Street, Divine Doctor's View,
Qiu Peng held the piece of paper in his hand and asked, "Divine Doctor, this is a place?"
The leader replied honestly, "Yes." That place was originally called the City God Temple. It was established here by Tongjitang, a member of the Jishi Alliance, and many people went to see a doctor there. ”
Qiu Peng was overjoyed and put the piece of paper into the pocket of the mouth.
Qiu Peng quickly took his leave and left the editor-in-chief's mansion, and at this moment, his heart was full of four addresses and hopes.
The broker of the jewelry store of Baicaotang has designed so many jewelry changes for the editor-in-chief Cai Ziheng, it is impossible not to know the inside story at all.
The foreman who contracted the renovation project of the editor-in-chief's mansion should know at least a little bit of clues in the process of renovation.
As for the car that helped Cai Ziheng transport daily necessities, it was even more inseparable.
But what excites Qiu Peng the most is the address recorded on this piece of paper. Because this piece of paper should be part of the important article edited by Cai Ziheng. Then the people and things it records should have a close relationship with him, and perhaps, this place may be the contact point between him and the spies of the Super Mercenary Alliance.
Qiu Peng believes that even if Kitano Peak found the other three clues, he would definitely not have found the fourth clue. From this point of view, Qiu Peng can at least bring back some of the upper hand in the game that has fallen into a disadvantage, or at least be able to regain the balance of power.
The Divine Doctor Temple was in the south of the city, and the other three addresses were all in the north of the city, so Qiu Peng instinctively walked towards the nearest Divine Doctor Temple.
As he walked, the excited smile on Qiu Peng's face gradually faded, and his brisk and fast steps began to become slower and heavier, and finally, Qiu Peng's footsteps stopped completely, and Qiu Peng's face showed a frowning and thoughtful expression: "If I were Beiye Peak, would I not be able to find that piece of paper?"
Qiu Peng shook his head, with Kitano Feng's carefulness and prudence, this person looked arrogant on the surface, but in fact he was definitely not as arrogant as they imagined.
In fact, when faced with things, Kitanomine is a very meticulous person. He shouldn't have given this piece of paper without discovering it!
Unless, he didn't have enough time, because I arrived in time to prevent him from searching his study.
But there is another possibility: this clue was actually deliberately left by Kitanomine, and was used entirely for Míuò's own. Let yourself follow the wrong trail and never find the right direction.
Which of these two completely opposite conclusions is correct? Qiu Peng hesitated in his heart.
If this clue was deliberately left by Kitanomine, then what is the purpose of Kitanomine?
A thought suddenly flashed in Qiu Peng's heart, he turned around and ran in the opposite direction, on the lively street, his behavior obviously attracted the attention of many people. But Qiu Peng couldn't care about these anymore, and a not-so-good premonition made his heart beat sharply: maybe Kitano Feng needed a little time to drag himself to the south of the city, so what would he do with this time?
The answer came out in Qiu Peng's heart.
Qiu Peng walked north and went straight to the jewelry store in Baicaotang. This is the closest stop to the Editor's Office.
The jewelry store of Baicaotang is located on the central street in the north of the city, which is one of the busiest streets in the whole city. Those who live in the north of the city are also upper-class people who are either rich or noble. However, due to the special industry of the jewelry store, although there are many people in front of the jewelry store, there are not many people in the shop. Only occasionally a few celebrities are wandering slowly.
Qiu Peng hurriedly stepped into the big mén of the jewelry store, grabbed a guy and asked, "Where is your shopkeeper?"
The guy was stunned and said, "If there is anything wrong with the son, just tell iǎ." ”
Qiu Peng's eyes widened, and he said, "Tell me quickly! I have something urgent to find him, and you can't afford to delay it. ”
The job was stunned, looked at Qiu Peng twice, and then reluctantly said, "Please wait for this son." ”
After speaking, he hurriedly walked towards the inner hall, Qiu Peng tried to calm down the sharp breathing of the rapid running, but before he could take a few breaths, he heard a scream from inside, and Qiu Peng rushed in without hesitation.
Following the voice to the inner hall, I saw a gorgeously dressed middle-aged man who looked like he was forty or fifty years old, just by looking at his dress and demeanor, I knew that this person was well-maintained, and at first glance he looked like a businessman with a successful career.
He sat on a chair in the inner hall, with a cup of tea on the coffee table next to him, and the heat was still slightly rising, and his man sat peacefully in the chair as if he were closing his eyes. But a sword hole in front of iōng was gurgling and bleeding, and it was clear that he was dead. The guy was screaming uncontrollably, Qiu Peng gave him a mouthful, told him to calm down, and said loudly, "Who did he see before?"
The man had a face like dirt, his teeth rattled and said, "Not long ago, there was a man with a wide hat and a black cloak on his head, who said that he had an important jewel to be sold and wanted to meet the shopkeeper, and the result was"
Qiu Peng pushed the shopkeeper away, staring at the dead shopkeeper. He was stabbed into the heart by a sword in front of him, clean and neat, but the sword came out too fast, too sharp, too accurate, and he didn't even have time to realize that he was attacked, and he was already dead, so the shopkeeper still had a smile on his face, his face was like life, and his god was calm.
Qiu Peng shook his head, turned around and walked out, and put the jewelry store trapped in a mess behind him.
Where to go next?
Qiu Peng's heart jumped suddenly and thought: The distance of the construction team is the farthest, and the jewelry store is the closest, so the next target of Beiye Peak must be the car company. Qiu Peng did not hesitate, turned around and ran to the construction team that had contracted the renovation project of the editor-in-chief's mansion.
The construction team is undertaking a construction project in the north of the city.
When Qiu Peng arrived at the construction site, he saw a mess of building materials piled up, and in one corner of the construction site, two simple houses built of rudimentary wood and masonry, looked like they were about to collapse at any moment. That's where those builders lived.
