Wei Ling was a little depressed. There was no news from Ku Ma, and there was no whereabouts of Ku Ma outside the city. It was clear to Puff and Malin at a glance.
With such a family condition, even if the parents wanted to cover up, the sister-in-law would probably report it.
Wei Ling didn't explain too much to the Ma family. He just left his citizen number and hoped that they would leave a message to inform them if they had any news about Puff and Marlin.
Walking out of Ma's house, Wei Ling and Shou Gong looked at each other and smiled bitterly.
"Let's go outside the city and look for that Mi Meng. Didn't Master Lute say that he has good information through the grapevine? The hope lies with him."
The information package given by Lu Te contained a mysterious residence, and the two followed the information and walked on the winding and dilapidated streets of the outer city.
Without the cover of night and the contrast of lights, the streets look very miserable in the daytime.
Wei Ling and Shou Gong walked in such a gray area and found that there were all kinds of ghosts, ghosts and snake gods, already peeping in the dark.
Strangers who appear on the street so early are either in trouble or struggling to make a living. This will inevitably bring opportunities for deception and abduction. There will always be greed and bad intentions in all kinds of eyes.
But Welling didn't care at all. He had already detected the mental characteristics of the homeless people who were hiding in the corner and pretended not to look at the two of them, but were actually cautious and alert and found no particularly powerful people.
Finally, they came to a relatively solid and majestic courtyard.
This is Mi Meng's home in the outer city of Bohu County.
The courtyard wall is made of piled stones, tall and thick, and the gate is made of thick alloy rolling.
This guy has a very strong sense of prevention. Wei Ling smiled secretly and stepped forward to knock on the door.
There was a knock on the door for a long time, and then the door creaked and opened a crack, revealing an ugly and fierce face:
"Who recommended it?"
Wei Ling took a look and found that this person was the Xixuan man among the three people who were being hunted when he arrived in Bohu County yesterday.
"County Lieutenant Lute."
Wei Ling responded calmly, looking at this guy's ferocious face, he wanted to slap him.
He looked so embarrassed outside the city yesterday, but he is so arrogant today.
Upon hearing that it was recommended by the Lieutenant of Bohu County, the big man opened the door, but stretched out his palm and spread it in front of Wei Ling:
"Do you know the rules?"
Wei Ling became increasingly unhappy:
"What rules?"
The big man's ugly face twitched and his eyes rolled:
"No matter who introduced me, if I want to see Mr. Mi Meng, I must first give him 10,000 imperial coins."
Wei Ling changed his mind and realized that the other party was open for business and the charges were reasonable:
"Okay, I'll pay you right away, citizen number."
As soon as I threw the information over, it felt wrong.
The people outside the city are basically homeless. They do not have the citizenship of the empire and cannot accept transfer payments through the system barrier.
The ugly man looked like an idiot:
“You can’t get in without a payment card.”
Throwing this information over, he wanted to close the door.
The guard moved and stretched out his right hand to grab the big man's wrist.
The big man stared, surprised that this black-robed visitor, who was obviously a woman, dared to grab his wrist, and tried to break free.
But the guard grabbed his wrist and didn't move at all.
Then the big man's eyes widened to their limit, the corners of his mouth began to twitch, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
He felt as if his wrist was being tied tighter and tighter by a metal hoop, and the severe pain made him believe that in another second, his wrist bones would shatter into pieces.
Just when he was activating his brain and trying to find a way out of his confinement, he received a message from Welling:
"I have a lot of money, but I can't pay it now. I'll wait until I consult to see if your intelligence information is worth the price."
Then he felt his wrist loosen, and that white and delicate hand, like a jade carving, opened the door.
Welling walked into the gate and saw another big man standing in an empty courtyard.
Of course, it was the other one I saw on the vehicle yesterday. This was a big man with Daxia ethnic characteristics.
The firearm in the big man's hand was pointed at Welling, and the safety valve had been opened.
Wei Ling frowned and glanced at the big man.
The big man with the gun immediately felt sick.
Everything is wrong with the whole body, the heart beats slowly and weakly, the arm muscles are paralyzed, cerebral obstruction, dizziness, urgent urination, severe anal prolapse...
Then, in great fear, he saw that his fingers turned purple-black and fell off one by one, and the blood flowing out was black.
The gun in his hand fell to the ground with a clang, and immediately after, his wrists and arms also fell off and melted, spreading to his shoulders in an instant.
The big man rolled his eyes in anger and fainted to the ground.
Dahei who opened the door was a little confused. He didn't know why his companion dropped his gun and rolled his eyes as soon as he saw Wei Ling.
He finally felt a little in awe, rubbed his bruised wrist, and bowed:
"Guests, please wait a moment. I'm going to see if Mr. Mi Meng is up."
Then he ignored Wei Ling and Shou Gong and ran towards the passage on the side of the yard.
Wei Ling gave Shou Gong a look.
The gecko immediately stomped his feet in three different places in the yard. The result came instantly:
"Sir, there is an underground darkroom down there."
He also obtained through spiritual perception that there were three human spiritual bodies underground and two women. One of them, a little man, was probably the Mi Meng.
Fortunately, Wei Ling was not kept waiting this time. He saw a sleepy Mi Meng in the small living room behind the passage.
For the big man who fell to the ground before, Welling gave him a technique to strip him of his emotions and relieve his illness and cognitive impairment.
He got up, as if he had seen a ghost, and his brother, who was still in severe pain in his wrist, stood waiting on one side languidly, forgetting even the firearm thrown on the ground.
Mi Meng looked at the two bodyguards and stared at Wei Ling closely.
He knew very well that his bodyguard had been seriously injured:
"Excuse me, distinguished guest, we have never met before, and we don't have any grudges, right?"
Welling nodded and smiled.
"Since the distinguished guest was introduced by Lord Lute, he should know the rules."
Wei Ling felt a little annoyed and raised his eyebrows:
"Rules? Are your rules greater than the laws of the empire? As an investigator of special events in the empire, whether you pay or not depends on my mood. You have the responsibility to cooperate.
Of course, I also have funds to handle the case, so I will not default on a mere 10,000 yuan.
I can pay, but you lack the conditions to receive it. "
After receiving Wei Ling's reply message, Mi Meng's thin body straightened up:
"Haha, I am not a citizen of the empire. My identity as an investigator is of no use to me. I have no obligation to cooperate with you."
Wei Ling narrowed his eyes slightly:
"Then whose soil are you standing on?"
In the past two days, there was no progress at Kuma's house, Kuma's ex-wife's shop, or the Ma family. He was worried about Nanxing and others, and Wei Ling was holding a fire in his heart. He was really angry at this moment.
When he narrowed his eyes slightly, he was actually analyzing Mi Meng's mental strength and mind body characteristics.
This analysis attracted Welling's special attention.
On the surface, this Mi Meng looks like an ordinary wanderer, but his mental power is very powerful, comparable to some warlocks who have reached the threshold of the intermediate level, and even stronger than Li Lingyou.
From a certain angle, Mi Meng should also be a warlock.
When Wei Ling asked whose land he was standing on, Mi Meng was also a little angry:
"I admit that I am standing on the land of the empire, but the people in the entire outer city can live in this area with the tacit consent of the empire... The empire also needs people from the outer city."
Welling interrupted:
"Don't talk about other people with me. I'm talking about you. There's no point in changing the concept like this."
"Okay, then for the sake of Lord Lute, I won't charge the entrance fee for now. What do you want to investigate?"
Mi Meng seemed to make a concession, then pretended to be mysterious, smiled proudly, and threw a message to Welling:
"Let me guess...well, you should be...looking for the whereabouts of some people!"
Mi Meng looked at Wei Ling with a surprised expression, feeling secretly proud in her heart.
Based on his many years of experience in selling intelligence, as long as he reveals the core purpose of the other party, the other party will be so impressed that they will become a piece of meat on the chopping block, and the fee will be whatever he wants.
Welling was indeed surprised.
The gecko also opened his eyes wide, surprised by this guy's magic. He hadn't even mentioned his origin yet, but he could actually guess it?
Is he psychic?
Precognition?
Welling closed his eyes.
After a while, Wei Ling reported the situation of Nanxing Shangwei and Jinu, as well as various information about Ku Ma, Ma Bo Ma Lin, and the suspected Murong Langgan, including but not limited to their appearance, age, identity, and suspicion. Level, etc., were all left to Mi Meng.
After the packet loss was completed, Welling spoke calmly:
“I’ve given you everything you should know and things you shouldn’t know.
Based on your experience, provide the whereabouts of these people, how much do you think should be charged,"
The sweat on Mi Meng's forehead suddenly broke out.
Based on his experience, this black-robed warlock and investigator was setting him up.
As far as the intelligence selling industry is concerned, as a rule, the other party only needs to give the appearance and characteristics of the person they are looking for. There is no need to provide other information, and there is no need to inform yourself of the problems the other party is involved in and suspected of.
If you know too much about the other party but cannot provide corresponding clues, then you have to worry about the other party's dirty tricks and ruthless attempts to silence you.
Even if key information is provided, there is no guarantee that the other party will not find fault later.
The key is that the other party still has an official identity. In addition to the rebellion of imperial soldiers and the betrayal of warlocks, the people involved also include family members... Each of them is enough to make him unable to parry. Any method of the gangsters in the outer city is not good. make.
"Why don't you make an offer? Guess how much I'm going to pay you?
You must know this number.
Because, I have already drawn up an amount in my mind. "
Wei Ling stared at Mi Meng with an expression that was half-smile but not a smile.
Mi Meng wiped the sweat from her forehead, her eyes full of despair, looking at Wei Ling pleadingly.
In the outer city of Bohu County, a place where right and wrong are mixed, he does not have an imperial identity, and he can still engage in intelligence trafficking, travel among various gangs, and sometimes even indirectly come into contact with the empire and the federation. Of course he has his own secrets .
Although he doesn't know whether he is a warlock, he has strong mental power and a skill that can only be manifested in a small number of intelligent warlocks.
As long as he has exchanged information with him and lost packets, he can implant a spiritual consciousness into the other person's body during the packet loss process that only he can know.
Regardless of the distance, as long as there is information that interests him, he can get feedback.
From an old-era scientific perspective, this skill is somewhat similar to the use of quantum entanglement, and its effect is similar to the application of quantum teleportation.
But at this moment, he unexpectedly discovered that he could no longer feel the other person's thoughts.
Mi Meng's skills are based on the other party having to answer the question themselves.
For example, if you ask a stranger for his or her name, the stranger will not tell Mi Meng, but the stranger will instinctively recall his name, then shake his head and decide not to tell him.
In the same way, when the investigator asked himself to guess the reward just now, he would definitely flash the amount of reward in his mind, and Mi Meng would be able to know it.
However, what Mi Meng perceived was a sea of chaotic and dark energy.
Immediately, even his preset perception and consciousness disappeared, as if a piece of his own mental power had been cut off.
Mi Meng immediately understood that the opponent must be a wise warlock, and a terrifying warlock who was extremely good at spiritual magic.
Mi Meng endured the severe pain in her brain and knelt down in front of Wei Ling, with tears streaming down her face:
"Investigator, please spare my life..."
