And Ye Feng spoke up.
Ye Feng looked at Qi Jun's tangled expression, smiled slightly, smiled warmly, and said softly: "General Zhuang has an orphan left."
Qi Jun instantly opened his round eyes and looked over in shock. In the blink of an eye, he laughed silently again, with an extremely handsome and cheerful smile.
There was a slight glimmer of water in his eyes.
He nodded heavily.
Wiping his face, he said: "Yes. Due to various suspicions, I investigated the matter secretly and found that a thousand households in Dongchang were missing, Qin Haoxian did not return, and a child from the banker was missing.
What makes me make such a judgment is how could Mr. Zhang save my father? Come as soon as you are invited? Come sneakily? He is a well-known upright official in both the government and the public. What is my father? The infamous Jin Yiwei.
I guessed that there was something fishy between them. Therefore, even if everyone says that my father is a bad person, I am extremely sure in my heart: he is not. "
This is the reason why Qi Jun always insists on doing the right thing, and it is also the real reason why he chose to cooperate with Ye Feng when he heard Ye Feng say that he was the only survivor in the Zhang Wang case.
In this world, there is never any trust without reason.
No matter how cunning Ye Feng pretends to be, Qi Jun still believes that Ye Feng is the same person as him.
After that, more interactions and cooperation made him feel more and more deeply about this, and when he traced the disappearance case here, he decided to have a good talk with the other party.
Ye Feng picked up the pot, poured tea for Qi Jun, and then said with a slight smile: "You found out that I concealed some special scars on your father's body. At that time, you thought I ignored it."
"Um."
Qi Jun nodded, took the tea and drank it in one gulp, then said softly: "Thank you."
Ye Feng smiled.
It feels good to understand.
But he didn't want to be so "hypocritical" about two grown men, so he changed the topic and said: "They are still alive. We at least need to know where they are and arrange for them to come back. We can't hide outside all the time."
This case needs to be investigated differently.
Ye Feng guessed that Qi Jun mentioned his father's real intention to him at this time. Qi Jun is not stupid. After nine years of investigating this case, he should have a clue. After seeing Ye Feng's "skills", he could only confess to stop him from continuing the investigation.
Qi Jun looked a little embarrassed and a little apologetic.
Ye Feng put a lot of effort into this case. If Ye Feng hadn't pointed it out, he might have continued to pretend to investigate.
However, Ye Feng gave up so happily after knowing the truth, and did not blame him, nor did he insist on asking questions. Qi Jun was moved in his heart.
Ye Feng tilted his head and looked out the window, and reminded in a low voice: "Prince, please hide yourself."
The prince was not actually missing, it was Qi Jun who "kidnapped" him and hid him. This was Ye Feng's idea. It was also because of this idea that Ye Feng felt that the case of missing officials might also be done in this way.
Only by hiding the prince away from all eyes on him can he be truly protected.
After making this decision, Ye Feng and Qi Jun have to bear the ups and downs outside.
Ye Feng wasn't sure whether Zhang Jian was for the crown prince, so it didn't matter. He thinks the same as his mentor: he only stands for the country and the people. Therefore, he did not tell Zhang Jian about this matter, including the scars he found on Qi Jun's father.
Ye Feng wanted to protect Zhang Jian, so he stopped telling him some things.
Qi Jun knew that when Ye Feng mentioned the prince at this time, he was not really talking about it, but just telling him that Ye Feng could guess the reason for his father's actions. Then he grinned in understanding, clapped his hands, and asked the waiter to serve the food.
He was relieved and wanted to have a good drink.
But didn't get any response.
The small restaurant was extremely quiet at this time.
In the empty lobby, under the dim light, there were only small square tables and long benches that seemed to be silent, lowering the height of the roof and adding pressure to the ground. The flies that were buzzing and flying before seemed to have stopped rubbing their wings and disappeared silently.
Quiet and lifeless, it was in stark contrast to the hustle and bustle on the street.
Ye Feng and Qi Jun looked at each other and found awe in each other's eyes.
Qi Jun quietly moved toward the backyard patio.
Ye Feng squatted down and quickly and lightly approached the corner. He covered Brother Honey Badger's consciousness on his five senses, listened with ears open, opened his eyes and looked around, and moved the tip of his nose lightly.
There were no unusual sounds, no unusual smells, and no unusual sights were observed.
This is strange.
The suddenly quiet atmosphere definitely meant something was up.
But the combined five senses and six senses of him and Brother Honey Badger can now be spread to a range of 200 meters, and they can even hear the sound of ants walking. How could they not discover anything?
Qi Jun had already rushed back, with the same confused look on his face, shaking his head and saying: "There is no one left."
In front and back of the small restaurant, half of the people were gone.
Before, they were too focused on themselves and didn't know when these people left.
Ye Feng didn't say anything. He retracted his attention and focused on his eyes, carefully scanning the corners of the lobby.
With the blessing of Brother Honey Badger's night vision ability, light has no effect on him.
But still didn't find anything strange.
He walked to the door of the small restaurant, then turned around and looked around the door.
Still no abnormalities found. An idea suddenly flashed through Ye Feng's mind. He quickly walked in and said to Qi Jun, who was searching everywhere, "You tell me how to draw. Tell me the surrounding terrain."
Being in Lushan Mountain may be the reason why no abnormality was found. Then draw it and look at it.
Ye Feng went to the counter to find pen, ink, paper and inkstone.
This is Changxifang, the most mixed-up market, and it happens to be next to Changganfang.
Remember Changganfang, right? The largest city where dignitaries live. Across a wide main official road is Changxifang. Changxifang is next to the east city wall, so these two squares can be regarded as a special feature of the capital: rich and poor.
Ye Feng thought it was troublesome to draw with pen and ink, so he took out the charcoal pencil from his body and started drawing.
Qi Jun looked at him, then at the neat lines drawn on the paper, but continued to describe the surrounding structures without asking.
Although he didn't know what it was for.
Rather than drawing these maps, he wanted to blow the whistle and demolish the small restaurant.
Once you take it apart, you can see what's weird.
Ye Feng didn't finish the painting.
As he was drawing, he grabbed the charcoal and ran out.
Go out, turn left, and run for seventeen or eight meters until you reach the end of this narrow street. If you turn right, you will go straight to the Main Road, and turn left to the vegetable market of Gaifang City.
He only turned left for a few steps and looked at the outer wall at the corner.
At a glance, he found an inconspicuous mark about a foot away from the base of the wall: two strokes and one horizontal stroke.
The lower right part is less than the word "mo", and the horizontal line is longer.
On the wall surrounding this mark, it is obvious that there are traces of being wiped frequently.
Ye Feng ran back again, back to the lobby of the small restaurant, back to the table where they were sitting before, and pointed at the corner of the table.
There, there is the same mark.
Qi Jun, who was following him around in a daze, suddenly realized what he was doing and was about to lick his lips and whistle.
Just as his lower lip was retracted and his upper lip was bent downward, Ye Feng covered his mouth.
