Chapter Seventy-Three: Undercover
(Thanks to "Tianyi*" for the tip!)
Cheng Ming came out of the firm, feeling a little relieved, and after a week of waiting, he finally had a relatively satisfactory result.
In the final analysis, there is still too little information given by Jun Wuxue, it is just a self-portrait of an old man and a surname, in this vast sea of people, it is not easy to find out people. What's even worse is that the old man's self-portrait was painted seven or eight years ago, who knows if he is still alive now?
It can also be seen from this that the strength of all over the world, they actually found out four old people with similar appearances and the same surname from the millions of residents of Huaijing Mansion within a week, and one of them died last month.
Of course, among these four old men, it is unknown whether there is anyone he is looking for. Besides, even if he finds the other party, it is not clear whether the clue he wants is still there, and how he can get it if he is there is also a problem.
"Anyway, let's find the person first......"
The home addresses of these four old men are almost located in the four corners of Huaijing, which almost makes Cheng Ming wonder if the commercial houses from all over the world have discovered his identity and want to deliberately make things difficult for him.
After that, Cheng Ming took the car to find the three old men who were still alive, and after a roundabout investigation, what made him feel depressed was that these three old men did not know Li Jigang (the original owner of Yu Pei).
Coming out of the third old man, it was almost four o'clock in the afternoon, so Cheng Ming hurriedly called to the last address. However, he actually didn't have much hope in his heart, after all, the person concerned had passed away, even if the other party was indeed the person he was looking for, it was difficult to say whether the thing had stayed.
Half an hour later, Cheng Ming got out of the taxi, and at this time he was in an urban village in the southern suburbs of Huaijing, where the last address was.
After inquiring about the situation with the villagers on the side of the road, Cheng Ming walked towards the house, but what made him feel a little strange was that the eyes of the villagers just now seemed to be a little strange.
"Could it be that there is something going on in that house?" he quickly quickened his pace.
Walking to the place where the villagers had just guided, Cheng Ming found that there were several five big and three thick men gathered in front of the door, and there were villagers pointing around, so he didn't have to think about it to know that something must have happened.
Seeing this, Cheng Ming did not act recklessly, he stepped forward and pretended to be curious and asked a middle-aged villager: "This big brother, what are you doing?"
The middle-aged villager looked at Cheng Ming and smiled: "Hehe, it's not for a few antiques." ”
"Antique?" Cheng Ming's eyes lit up, and he hurriedly handed a cigarette to the middle-aged villager: "Big brother, can you tell me more about this?"
"Yo, Hongmei, what a smoke!"
The middle-aged villager lit a cigarette and took a puff, and then said: "Actually, the matter of Zhong Laosi's family is just like that, his family has passed down a few antiques from his ancestors, and he refused to sell them when he was still alive before, but now that he is dead, his son wants to sell things to the family to change the environment." However, he was unlucky, he asked the wrong person, and the good seller did not find it, but led the wolf to the family. ”
Hearing this, Cheng Ming looked a little incredible: "Do you mean that there are still people who dare to buy and sell these days?"
The middle-aged villager sneered: "How fresh, as long as you can make money, what can't these grandsons do?"
Cheng Ming asked again, "Then won't he call the police?"
"What's the use of calling the police?" The middle-aged villager shook his head: "That crow guy first let out the words, and if someone dares to buy something, he will go against him." Then he sent a few of his men to hang around the door from time to time, and as soon as the catch came they left, and when the catch was gone, they came again. ”
"And the crow is too much of a thing, and he also lets people throw stones at the window at night, and he can't catch anyone when he catches it, so Zhong Shaotao can only place his family in his relatives first, and he will be at home on top of it, if it's you, what can I do?"
Cheng Ming said with a smile: "If it were me, I would probably send them to the hospital directly." ”
The middle-aged villagers were a little disapproving: "Zhong Shaotao, oh, it's Zhong Laosi's son, he is a martial artist whose strength is close to the golden wolf position, if he could, he would have sent these people to the hospital a long time ago." ”
Cheng Ming immediately understood what he meant: "You mean to say that the other party's background is very strong?"
The middle-aged villager sighed: "The crow's brother-in-law is the high-level of Benlei Hall, do you say it's powerful?"
"It's Benlei Hall again. ”
A hint of fierceness flashed in Cheng Ming's eyes, originally because of the relationship between Heizi and others, he was particularly disgusted with Ben Lei Tang, not to mention that it was still related to the clues of the treasure, of course he had to get involved in this matter. Of course, he wouldn't just rush forward stupidly, not because he was afraid of these people, but mainly because he was worried about what trouble his actions would bring to the victim's family.
The middle-aged villager continued: "Young man, it seems that you are also interested in antiques, but I advise you not to get involved in this matter, after all, no matter how important money is, it is not important to live, right?"
Cheng Ming thanked: "Uncle, thank you, I definitely won't be able to wade through this troubled water." But, listen to you, what has this crow done?"
"We don't have any evidence, so it's hard to say. ”
The middle-aged villager smiled meaningfully, the meaning of which can be understood as long as he is not stupid.
At this moment, there was a sound of quarrel at the door, and I saw a man with dark skin and sharp-beaked monkey cheeks walking out of the house.
The crow walked to the door and scolded the people inside: "Zhong Shaotao, you can do it! You have the ability to sell all those things!"
After a while, Zhong Shaotao, who had a simple and honest appearance, also walked to the door and said loudly: "Crow, I sue you, I will definitely sell things in the next few days, and if I can't sell them, I will have your surname!"
"Yo he!" the crow sneered: "I want to see what confidence you have to say that!"
Zhong Shaotao said with a slight meaning: "To tell you the truth, I have joined the Haoyi Martial Arts Society, you have the ability to find me there in the future!"
Hearing this, Cheng Ming was speechless in his heart, and said secretly: "Who recruited this big fool? Isn't it to pull hatred for the Haoyi Martial Arts Society when he says this on such an occasion?"
At this time, he saw that the crow's face was completely black, and he pointed to Zhong Shaotao's nose and nodded: "Okay, but don't think that you feel great if you hug the thigh of the Haoyi Martial Arts Society, what is the result, let's wait and see! Ah Chang, you guys are here to keep an eye on me, I see who dares to buy his things!"
After speaking, he turned around and left with one of his men, and the five big and three thick men were still standing straight at the door.
At this time, seeing that there was no excitement to see, the villagers also left one after another, leaving only Cheng Ming to bow his head and ponder, after a while, he raised his head and sneered: "Are you going undercover?" ”
The reason why he thought so was because when the crow turned to leave just now, he happened to see eye contact between the crow and Zhong Shaotao from his angle.
If it were someone else, this alone would definitely not prove his thoughts, but he still had the magic power of good and evil pupils, and found that Zhong Shaotao did have a black heart hidden under his honest appearance.
At this time, he felt that his judgment was no longer far from ten, so after the crow left, he walked straight to Zhong Shaotao's house.
"Hey, boy, what do you want to do?
Seeing Cheng Ming coming, one of the men took a few steps forward and rudely asked Cheng Ming to leave quickly.
Cheng Ming plucked out his ears and said with a smile: "I remember that this shouldn't be your home, I can do whatever I like, can you manage it?"
After speaking, he took the hand that was still picking out the ear droppings just now and flicked it at the man's face.
"Boy, you're looking for death!"
Seeing this, the man immediately became angry, and punched Cheng Ming directly in the face. But what surprised and frightened him was that Cheng Ming only blocked it lightly with his arm, and he used all his strength to punch and was blocked.
Immediately after, he heard a loud roar in the air, and Cheng Ming's fist hit his waist like lightning, and in an instant he flew out sideways.
"Didn't your mother teach you to hit someone without slapping your face?"
Cheng Ming spat at the man, and then smiled evilly at the other two: "What, you also want to stop me?"
Looking at the companions who were ** on the ground, one of them threatened a little inwardly: "You...... Do you know that we are from Benleitang......"
Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Cheng Ming waving his hand: "Okay, what should I do, why do I go!" Yu Weijie (Big Brother Heizi) doesn't dare to care about my business, what are you!"
These words immediately choked the remaining two people, coupled with the ease with which Cheng Ming dealt with it just now, and the violent roar caused by that punch, all of them thought that Cheng Ming's strength was at least above the Qinghu position. So, they hurriedly picked up their companions, and after a few cruel words, they left in disgrace.
In fact, Cheng Ming was of course not as powerful as they imagined, and the reason why he dealt with it so easily was because he relied on the vajra body that had been cultivated to the first layer, and as for the roar, it was simply caused by the Thunder Bull Fist.
Walking to the door, Cheng Ming smiled at Zhong Shaotao, who had just heard the sound and came out of the house, and looked a little dumbfounded: "I heard that you have a few antiques here, can you show me?"
Zhong Shaotao laughed dryly: "When ...... Of course. ”
"Then why are you still standing?" Cheng Ming's expression suddenly changed, and he said coldly: "I'm not as good at talking as a crow, quickly take out something for me!"
The murderous aura emanating from Cheng Ming's body frightened Zhong Shaotao and hurriedly said, "Please please, please, this gentleman, please sit down first, and I will take out the things immediately." ”
Cheng Ming waved his hand: "You take me over directly, I still have something to do but don't have time to spend here." ”
