Volume Two, Participation in the WTO, Chapter 41: Meeting a Thief at Night
Chapter 41 Encountering a thief at night
There was no talking all night, and when Feng Yu got up the next day, everyone in the Mirror Division had already left.
"Master Feng, get up. Because we always have to get up early to buy groceries, we didn't call you during breakfast. I can only trouble you to eat outside by yourself."
Feng Yu said nonchalantly: "Shopkeeper Xu, don't worry, this is normal. Besides, now that someone is helping me pay for the room and food, I don't need anything. By the way, my room fee, the shopkeeper
There’s no need for a discount, just the normal price. I’ll go out first.”
The cultural atmosphere of Huzhou and Youzhou are very different. Youzhou is a typical Lingnan simple custom, with mountains on the back, and every household is engaged in their own small industry. Huzhou is indeed a large trade center, with a complex and large number of people coming and going.
There is a strong commercial atmosphere. It is truly a land of plenty. The plains are vast and the transportation is developed. The East City and the West City are even more distinct.
"Boss, bring me a drawer of steamed buns (five in a drawer) and a bowl of soy milk." Feng Yu walked to a table next to a steamed bun shop and sat down.
"Come on, objectively, please use your steamed buns and soy milk slowly." As soon as we sat down, the waiter brought them over. It was really efficient.
Just as I was about to take a bite, I heard a familiar voice, "Boss, two drawers of steamed buns and four bowls of soy milk."
As soon as Su Ci and the four sat down, they met the eyes of their old friend, but Su Ci was still face to face with him.
"It's you again. We are really enemies on a narrow road. I have a drawer of buns all by myself. I'm not afraid of killing you."
He bit off half the bun in one bite and said, "Mr. Su, be careful with your words this morning, or you may be unlucky all day long."
"When I see you, I'm already unlucky, so why should I be afraid anymore?"
At this time, the waiter came over with steamed buns and soy milk, "Sir, our steamed buns are absolutely delicious and the ingredients are very authentic, but they are a little small. Are you sure four people can eat two of them?"
"
"Yes, Commander Su, we have been running all morning, how about another one?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu smiled unconsciously, but it turned into a mockery in Su Ci's eyes.
"Are you paying? If you don't pay, you still ask for so much."
"Ahem, Junior Sister Su, the buns are so small. Ten buns are a bit too small for four people to eat. Well, I'll buy another drawer. I should be able to finish them all."
Su Ci stared at Feng Yu, "No need," and picked up one of Feng Yu's buns, "Isn't there more of this? It's enough to eat." He took a small bite and deliberately showed off in front of Feng Yu.
Feng Yu shook his head helplessly, "It's so pitiful to be an official. You can't even get enough to eat. Forget it, take it as a gift from me in return for helping me pay for the room."
Su Ci became angry when she mentioned this matter. If this man was really a bandit, she would definitely want him to look good!
After the five people had three drawers of steamed buns and had enough to eat and drink, Feng Yu didn't want to waste time arguing and asked straight to the point: "Master Ling, Master Su, and the two young adults, dare to ask me when can I leave? I really
There is something urgent to do."
Ling Chen felt something was wrong, "Why are you so anxious, Mr. Feng? Aren't you going to find your relatives? Are you afraid that someone will run away?"
Feng Yu didn't want to continue to make it up: "I've already seen it, why bother asking again? I'm indeed not looking for relatives, I'm looking for an elder for something important. Human lives are at stake. This bank robbery case has nothing to do with me.
Relationship, I hope a few of you will show your favor."
Su Ci placed the bowl heavily on the table, "Why should I trust you? Will a thief admit that he is a thief?"
Ling Chen was more objective and fair, "Junior sister Su, you can't be biased in handling the case. I don't think Mr. Feng is a thief. However, Mr. Feng, please cooperate. After all, the matter is very important. When we find those thieves, we will definitely let Mr. Feng
Please leave, sir, please forgive me."
"Well, I hope it doesn't take too long, otherwise I may not be able to wait any longer. Since women are indeed more emotional than men, I won't argue with you."
Su Ci's eyes widened: "You, you, how do you know?"
Feng Yu looked at her as if she were a fool, shook his head and left.
Su Ci looked at the three people next to him. The three of them hurriedly lowered their heads and drank soy milk, pretending not to hear anything.
"Is it so obvious?"
Ling Chen stammered and said: "Junior sister, there is really no need for women to dress up as men next time we go out. The difference between men and women is there. It is so easy to change genders. It's good to be normal. Your investigation ability is
There, no one in the department said anything, and besides, Master Cui, Master Cui's envoy, is about to arrive, so you look really awkward like this."
Feng Yu returned to the room because he was bored, so he simply sat cross-legged and practiced his internal skills. Ling Chen and the four of them continued to run around outside after breakfast, looking for clues. The day passed quietly, and apart from eating, Feng Yu did nothing.
Leave the bed.
That night, Feng Yu, who was preparing to sleep after adjusting his breath, vaguely heard some movement outside. He walked quietly to the window, secretly opened a crack and looked at the street. He saw a man in black wearing night clothes.
The masked man looked around and ran along the wall like a thief.
No matter how you look at it, it seems awkward. This trick of inviting you into a trap is too obvious. After all, this is the Mirror Division directly under the Imperial Palace, not a small policeman.
Just when he was about to close the window and go to sleep, the window next door suddenly opened wide, and a figure in civilian clothes jumped out and followed him carefully.
"Is this woman stupid?"
Just as he finished speaking, another person jumped down and followed Su Ci. Feng Yu was very puzzled as to what the plot was, and after a while, the remaining two people followed him.
I felt very curious and felt sorry for my intuitive recklessness. These people were a bit interesting. So I followed quietly. However, Feng Yu's Qinggong and body skills were not comparable to them, even if they were very close.
, and they didn't notice it at all. After the last desperate battle with the thief, they only felt that they were getting more and more comfortable.
This is a dirt road between slopes. Following the footsteps of the masked man, Su Ci reached the small woods outside the south city. Seeing it getting deeper and deeper, in the dark night, only with the help of the moonlight could he see the person's face clearly. Suddenly, a large net appeared
He grabbed Su Ci. Su Ci, who had been on guard for a long time, retreated between the two trees, and the big net was blocked on the other side of the tree. There was a chill behind him, Su Ci turned around and drew his sword to block, and there was a crisp sound of the sword strike.
With a powerful sweep, the two distanced themselves.
Su Ci stared at the other party closely, "Finally I couldn't bear it any longer. It looks like they are going to kill us."
"Hmph, you are indeed a member of the Mirror Division. They investigated the case without any sloppiness. If we don't take action, I'm afraid we really won't be able to leave."
The two of them fought together in close quarters. They were both at the fourth level of strength. After several battles, they could not defeat each other and had to rely on fighting to contain the enemy. A young adult in the case suddenly took action and wanted to seriously injure the masked man from behind.
, seeing that they were about to succeed, all the people in black who had been waiting for a long time attacked and surrounded the two people. The two people back to back looked at the thieves, who numbered dozens of people, with a smile on their lips. Sure enough,
in this way.
The leading man in black frowned, "No, why are there still two missing? Ling Chen isn't here."
Su Ci smiled coldly: "Humph, I really thought that the people in the Mirror Division were so easy to deceive, and it was you who fell into the trap."
The big net that was originally intended to trap Su Ci ran up the tree at some point and fell straight down, covering most of the people underneath it. The boy next to Su Ci rolled forward, and the other one
The boy jumped down from the tree, and the two of them grabbed the two slip knots of the net that had fallen to the ground, and pulled hard. Not only the top but also the bottom were tightly knotted. After Ling Chen's attack, there were only a few left.
Those who were not very strong were quickly captured. Afraid that they would cut the rope with their weapons, they forcibly knocked off their weapons. Some of them were even scratched by their own knives.
No matter how the robbers hanging in the air moved, it was of no avail. The four people under the tree looked at each other, and the plan was successful.
Ling Chen pulled off everyone's masks, but unfortunately he had never seen them before. He pointed a knife at their heads with unfamiliar faces, "Tell me, who are you? Where have the disaster relief money been hidden?"
A few timid people were very frightened and were about to speak. Suddenly, several feather arrows were shot. Seeing this, the four people looked for cover. However, these people could not run away and basically all died.
Su Ci was surprised and said: "There are still enemies secretly. It seems that these groups are just minions, and the real master has not appeared at all."
One of the followers was even more surprised: "The leader here is a fourth-grade person, and they kill whenever they ask. Could it be that the master has a group of stronger masters under his command?"
Ling Chen felt that the arrow rain had stopped, so he walked out first, taking a defensive posture, and said at the same time: "This is not necessarily true, it is very likely that a confidant was sent to disrupt the view, and let us believe that they investigated before coming.
There aren't any big sects or powerful gangsters near Huzhou, so there shouldn't be any very powerful masters. However, we don't rule out the possibility of being at level seven or above."
Su Ci looked around: "They arranged an archer attack, but they did not send out the masters that Senior Brother Ling said. It seems that they are wary. We should go back first and wait for Senior Uncle Cui to come and then make a long-term plan."
They didn't notice that on a big tree in the dark, the branches trembled slightly, and a figure floated away.
