Encountering such a difficult problem for the first time, Zhang Daoling, who was inexperienced, could only deal with it. It seemed that he noticed that Zhang Daoling was a little embarrassed. Zhao Xiyue didn't say anything more and just left silently.
When he woke up the next day, life seemed to be back to normal. After breakfast, he said hello to Lao Zhaotou who was doing morning exercises and told Zhao Xiyue that he would not come back for lunch. Zhang Daoling left the Zhao family yard.
When he came to the roadside and was about to take a taxi to visit Liu Beishan, he saw a bearded man wearing round sunglasses blocking him.
After experiencing so many things, Zhang Daoling would naturally not be as unwary as he was at the beginning.
Calmly taking two steps back, Zhang Daoling took out his mobile phone with his right hand, but held the thunder talisman with his left hand in his pocket.
"I just bought a new mobile phone and I can't afford a second one. If I want to rob him, I will have no choice but to call the police."
The man in sunglasses chuckled, poked the wooden cane on the ground, and raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Little brother, you have a sense of humor. Don't worry, I don't mean any harm. I just want to talk to you about the fire accident and go to the fire scene to take a look.
My name is Tao Li, a private investigator sent by the police. "
Zhang Daoling put down his phone and his expression softened slightly.
"How do I know you're not a liar? My house had a thief before the fire, and I've experienced so many bad things. Please forgive me for being a little wary."
"I understand...this is my ID. Little brother, please take a look at it, or I can call the police station in the town directly and ask Director Xu to help me confirm my identity. Little brother, I will definitely not lie to you. You You can prove it any way you want me to.”
He handed the prepared auxiliary police certificate to Zhang Daoling. Tao Li's calm look convinced Zhang Daoling.
Glancing at the auxiliary police card in his hand, he looked again at the middle-aged man who was not prominent in front of him as if comparing it to a photo. Zhang Daoling's eyes were fixed on the wooden crutch. On the ordinary wooden crutch, he felt some kind of fatal force. threaten.
Judging from the diameter of the wooden cane, this wooden cane is likely to be some kind of special cane knife like in some movies.
[It seems that someone from the country is really coming. Fortunately, I was alert in advance and hid the fake Taoist relics in other places. It’s just that the Feitouman sewage in the water tank has not been processed yet. I hope it will not be exposed]
After returning the assistant police card to Tao Li, Zhang Daoling calmly took out his left hand and said with a smile.
"So that's it. My name is Zhang Daoling. Officer Tao, please come with me. I'll take you to my yard."
"It's really troublesome little brother, would you like one?"
"Thank you. I never smoke due to health problems."
"Hey, that's a good habit. Old guys like us can't help it. When we're stressed, we like to take a few puffs. Otherwise, we'll get so flustered that we won't be able to do anything."
Taking out a cigarette and holding it in his mouth, Tao Li didn't light it, but just pursed it with his lips.
Zhang Daoling turned to look at the middle-aged man with short curly hair behind him and said casually.
"I don't smoke, and I don't mind others smoking in front of me. If Brother Tao wants to smoke, just smoke."
"Hey, thanks."
Where Zhang Daoling couldn't see him, Tao Li tremblingly pressed the lighter, letting the trembling flames ignite the cigarette in his mouth.
His eyes under the sunglasses briefly rested on Zhang Daoling's left trouser pocket. Tao Li took a deep breath and smoked half of the cigarette. The smoke that passed through his lungs floated into the air. The numbing sensation of nicotine made Tao Li relax a little.
[Grandma, where did this guy come from? Not only does he have magic power on his body, he also has some kind of lethal magic weapon hidden in his pocket.
If I hadn't just opened my eyes to see the flow of mana, I might not have known that there was such an expert hiding in such a small mountain village. Judging from his appearance, he didn't look like a treacherous person, but I couldn't Relax your vigilance,
Fortunately, Xiao Liang was not allowed to come down with him. Otherwise, if this kid was a bad guy, it would be a big loss for both of them to stay here. 】
Not knowing what Tao Li was thinking, Liang Qianhan, who was wearing a ghillie suit, was hiding in a big tree on the high slope of Podi Village. His motionless hands were holding a 12.7mm high-precision sniper rifle, and the center of the scope was pointed at Tao Li. Zhang Daoling led the way.
The two people wearing concealed headsets did not speak and only acted with the code words agreed in advance.
"Mr. Tao started smoking as soon as we met. It seems that this Zhang Daoling is not an ordinary person."
At this moment, the man in the scope suddenly turned around and looked directly in his direction.
Shocked, Liang Qianhan quickly avoided looking and remained motionless.
"Brother Daoling, what's wrong?"
Tao Li's voice came from the headset.
"It's nothing. Maybe someone cares too much about me, so I reacted like this... maybe it's an illusion."
"Haha, little brother Daoling, are you in love?"
"This question is a bit personal."
"Sorry sorry..."
When Liang Qianhan raised his head again, the two of them had already walked into the courtyard.
Liang Qianhan jumped down from the tree and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and moved to the second sniper point.
To this day, she doesn't know if she has been discovered.
The man named Zhang Daoling seems to be more difficult to deal with than imagined.
"Officer Tao, what do you want to know?"
Standing in the yard, Zhang Daoling looked at Tao Li and decided to remain unchanged in the face of all changes.
Putting the cigarette butt into the ashtray he carried with him, Tao Li took off his sunglasses and looked at the Zhang family yard carefully, his expression a little solemn.
During his years of overseas assignments, he has worked with many colleagues who know Feng Shui. After listening to Tao Li a lot, he also understands some basic techniques of Yin and Yang Feng Shui. As the saying goes, the living live in the Yang house, and the dead live in the Yin house. The house is divided into the inside and the outside. The outer game determines a person's fate, the inner game determines a person's popularity.
If the luck is good, the family will be rich; if the luck is bad, the debt will be high. If the popularity is high, the family will be full of children and grandchildren, and the four generations will live under the same roof. If the popularity is low, the wife and children will be separated, and if the popularity is bad, the family will be separated.
On top of this, house feng shui also depends on the official luck, power, and even imperial luck brought about by the terrain and good acupoints. This is something he cannot understand, but it is not used here.
For ordinary people, when building a house to live in, it must be built as a balcony. For those who are more knowledgeable, most of the external buildings are built to gather wealth and get promoted, while the internal buildings are to have a prosperous population, dragons and tigers leaping.
But the courtyard residences here are built neither yin nor yang. It seems that they are not laid out according to the Bagua at all. The strangest thing is that random construction often causes the yin energy to condense in the residence, but not only is there no gathering of yin energy in the courtyard in front of you, In the Yin acupoint, Yang Qi transpires and becomes full of vitality, with flowers blooming and grass growing green.
To use an analogy, it is as weird as a castrated factory worker who has a manly look.
Unable to tell from Feng Shui whether there was any factor of being struck by lightning, Tao Li asked.
"Did the lightning that caused the fire hit that room directly?"
"That's right, that lightning struck directly through the roof of my house and set the sheets and bedding on fire."
Pushing open the half-covered charred black wooden door, Zhang Daoling once again walked into the main house, which was already in ruins, and pointed at the large hole in the roof that had not yet been repaired.
"Fortunately, I was in the yard at that time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to stand here and talk. Unfortunately, my computer and mobile phone were damaged in the lightning strike, so I had to get a new mobile phone."
After scanning the room, Tao Li gritted his teeth, opened his eyes again, and observed again.
This time he discovered a residual Yin Qi, and the owner of this Yin Qi was none other than the Feitou Man refined by the target he and Liang Qianhan were following on this trip.
[Ziji Tianlei, Feitou Man who plows the water, let me go, it can't be such a coincidence, right? 】
After closing his Heavenly Eye, Tao Li realized that the young man in front of him was staring at him intently, and he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
Did he enter some boss dungeon where the health bar would light up if he said the wrong thing?
"It seems that the fire was not caused by leakage of electricity. Isn't there a lightning rod installed on the roof?"
After noticing that Tao Li's eyes returned to normal, Zhang Daoling moved his eyes away and asked tentatively.
"Just pretending, isn't this a lightning rod of any use? By the way, will the country provide subsidies if it encounters such a natural disaster?"
"Haha, it shouldn't be possible, right? But it's hard to say... Anyway, this time is really troublesome for my little brother. Can I look at other places?"
"I'll give you a ride wherever I want to go."
"Uh, no, thank you little brother."
Back in the yard, under the cover of Liang Qianhan, Tao Li felt a little safer. After looking around, his eyes rested on the water tank in the kitchen, Tao Li was ready to retreat.
If he guessed correctly, Li Leshui and his Feitou Man wife were found in this yard.
The lightning that was observed and defined as an "abnormal lightning strike" may have something to do with the young man behind him. It is very likely that Li Leshui was struck to death by lightning.
If the above judgment is correct, this young man named Zhang Daoling must be classified as at least a B-level threat in the Irregular Supervision Bureau.
The B-level threat is at the same level of strength as him, but the pressure it brings to him is very terrible. This shows that Zhang Daoling is likely to be B+, so he must report it to the headquarters and let the headquarters send senior investigators to deal with it.
Tao Li, who was thinking of retreating, withdrew his gaze and smiled at Zhang Daoling.
"It's nothing. This fire was indeed caused by a lightning strike. Brother Dao Ling, I'll take my leave now."
"Brother comes here to play often. Next time I bring my friends with me."
"Hahaha, definitely, next time."
Standing at the door, Zhang Daoling waved his hand and sent Tao Li away.
Leaving the alley, the frightened Tao Li looked a little ugly.
"Xiao Liang, he didn't come with you, did he?"
"No, he's still in the yard. Wait, he looked over again, he, he smiled at me, and his smile was quite pretty."
Tao Li:......
Ten minutes later, the two men with complicated expressions met in the back ravine of Podi Village.
Liang Qianhan had already put her ghillie suit and disassembled sniper rifle back into her guitar bag, and transformed into a fashionable young woman again.
Tao Li lost his composure and sat on the stone pier with a pale face. He didn't know if it was because of the excessive physical exertion of opening his eyes.
"Mr. Tao, he found us, right?"
"I discovered it, and I'm afraid I know our origins, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to get out of that yard."
Unexpectedly, the situation was so serious. Liang Qianhan was stunned for a moment. Even Tao Li, a prolific murderer, had never shown such a fearful attitude.
"This Zhang Daoling, who is he?"
Tao Li shook his head.
"To be honest, I can't figure out his background, but what is certain is that Li Leshui and his wife should have died in that yard. The thunder seen by observers is most likely related to him."
Liang Qianhan: "..."
Lighting a cigarette and holding it in his mouth, Tao Li took a deep breath and slowly exhaled the smoke.
"Being able to kill Li Leshui and Lu Hong alone, this guy is at least a B-level threat. We're not sure yet whether he's good or bad. Our situation is very dangerous. Before the senior investigators come, it's best not to contact him again, far away Just keep an eye on him."
"I actually asked about Zhang Daoling's actions in Podi Village. Judging from what he did in Zhao's house, he shouldn't be a bad person, and he didn't attack us just now."
Tao Li smiled noncommittally and stood up.
"You said he saw you, but you didn't reveal your face, right?"
Liang Qianhan shook his head.
"No, I'm wearing a disguise mask."
"That's good."
"Mr. Tao, do you mean for me to monitor him?"
"That's too dangerous. Besides, you don't have experience yet. You don't need to be a newbie to do this."
"What do you mean?"
"Let the police monitor him. Since he already knows our origins, we might as well be more upright. As long as he still cares about the country, he will definitely not take action at will.
You and I will hide in the dark. If he attacks the police, we will directly wipe him out. "
"What if he wants to run away?"
"As long as he is a smart man, he will not run away."
…
After closing the courtyard door, Zhang Daoling walked into the side room, sat down on the bed and closed the curtains.
The light in the room dimmed instantly.
"They came to our door so quickly. If civil servants had this efficiency, wouldn't it be much easier for the people to do things?"
With a wry smile, Zhang Daoling glanced at the calendar.
"Next week is Xiaoyue's parent-teacher meeting. Do you want to break your promise? If I pretend to escape, will I be wanted as a fugitive? They will definitely use the power of the state. I don't know how to disguise myself, and I don't know how to fly. Escape, you can’t go anywhere without an ID card, so where can you go if you run away?”
He moved a small stool and sat in the yard. Zhang Daoling, who was a little confused, patted his cheek and began to review what had just happened, trying to clear his mind.
"First of all, it is certain that Tao Li and the other hidden sniper are members of the country. Judging from Tao Li's mental outlook and leisurely attitude at the beginning, at least the country will not openly embarrass these unscientific talents. .
During the conversation, Tao Li and I were testing each other, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.
During this period, neither he nor I had shown any hostility. Everything was on the point of completion. On the surface, it was still peaceful. The country should not take direct action on me. In other words, as long as I don't do certain things, Stress behavior, everything is still there to talk about. "
After calming down for a while, Zhang Daoling's thinking became clearer.
