After Xiao Liuzi left, Long Chitai asked Shao Xi impatiently: "Brother, what you just said in Yunshan Wuzhao is true. Is that what you really think? What you said made me scared. I almost believed it.”
"Of course it's not true! I just followed their wishes and made up such a set of lies to make them think that we have reached a final conclusion on this matter. In this way, they will think that we will no longer think about this matter. The investigation is under way." Shao Xi looked at the door where Xiao Liuzi left with a cunning expression on his face, thinking about his next move.
It seems that Xiao Liuzi has believed his words and will definitely inform the person behind the scenes about this matter, so he will definitely go to Xinjing Tea House again today. Then after Xiao Liuzi appears in Xinjing Tea House, Gao Cai will Won't it happen again?
Shao Xi didn't believe there was a coincidence. If Gao Cai also appeared there after Xiao Liuzi went to Xinjing Teahouse, it would prove that there must be an exchange of information between Xiao Liuzi and Gao Cai.
Then Gao Cai's identity will become extremely suspicious, far more than just being Xiao Yuzhi's accomplice in Fengjiazhuang ten years ago.
Shao Xi couldn't tell what his specific identity was, but at least he would have a chance to judge his identity now.
In addition, if Xiao Liuzi passes this news to the person behind the scenes, although he doesn't know whether the other party will believe it, at least he has given a reasonable explanation and has focused all the doubts on Xiao Yuzhi. To prove that you have reached the final conclusion.
Then on the surface, there is no need to investigate the previous matters. This can temporarily stabilize the other party and make them relax their vigilance, and then think that they can take the next step boldly.
If you keep an eye on the hole too tightly, the rabbit will not dare to come out, so the best way is to set the trap some distance away from the hole.
When the other party thinks that it is relatively safe and can take the next step, you will have the opportunity to catch the clues left by the other party.
After Long Qitai understood what Shao Xi meant, he couldn't help but give Shao Xi a thumbs up. In terms of age, Shao Xi was much younger than him, but based on his strategy and scheming, he was incompetent in front of Shao Xi. Like a little child.
Although he has been working as Director of Dali Temple for several years and has investigated numerous difficult cases, this is the first time he has encountered someone like Shao Xi who can see the whole situation and see the fire clearly.
"Brother, what are you going to do next? Although it seems that the other party has been fooled at the moment, you have to figure out who the other party is and what exactly he wants to do, right? As you said, the two forces were still competing with each other before. We You can also sit on the mountain and watch tigers fight and profit from it.
"But now one of the forces has fallen into your hands, brother. If the other force deliberately wants to hide itself, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to find them out. Brother, what method have you already thought of?" Shao Xi smiled and said. He waved his hands and said: "I'm not a god. How can I think of everything in advance? More often than not, we still have to take one step at a time. Although it was beneficial for us to have the two forces fighting each other before, it is also precisely Because these two forces restrain each other, they will be more cautious and more secretive in doing things.
"Now that one of the forces has fallen, I think the other force may become more bold after losing this restraint. Especially today, you and I deliberately released smoke to confuse the other party, which may make them feel that potential The threat has been neutralized, and if they do something, we'll have a chance of discovery.
"But we still have to do this more secretly, so as not to let them realize that the threat has not been eliminated. What I have to do now is to find the most important contact person among them through Xiao Liuzi, and on the other hand, It is to wait for the other party to take further action.
"According to previous judgments, the purpose of this force should also be to plot to rebel and seize power, but it is not so obvious, and it may be more troublesome to investigate, but as long as they take action, they will definitely show their feet and be targeted by hunters. No matter how cunning the prey is, it will not escape the hunter's grasp in the end." Long Qitai suddenly realized that he had to admire Shao Xi's judgment of the situation at hand, which was much more accurate than his own, and at the same time he also realized that with his own ability, he might be able to defeat Shao Xi. Xi's help is really limited.
Because everything that Shao Xi thought of was something he had never thought of. This was different from his usual investigations. When investigating cases, he focused on the clues in front of him and then followed the clues to find the truth.
What Shao Xi did was layout, creating clues himself and asking the other party to act according to the clues he laid out, so as to find out the truth of the matter.
For a long time, I have been accustomed to passive tracking and investigation, while Shao Xi took the initiative and created an operating environment for himself. This is the gap between the two people.
"It seems that today's banquet will not be in vain. I guess you must want to do something to Xiao Liuzi, so let's stop talking nonsense and let's go! Let's go have a drink with this mysterious Master Liu." Long Qitai Thinking of this, he laughed and pulled Shao Xi out of Dali Temple together, heading towards Junxiao Tower.
Although he didn't know what Shao Xi was going to do next, he knew that Shao Xi's choice to take the initiative to contact Xiao Liuzi was definitely not a whim and had no purpose.
When Shao Xi and Long Qitai arrived at Junxiao Tower, Xiaoliuzi had already booked a sumptuous banquet at Junxiao Lou. Of course, Long Qitai paid for this banquet, saying that it was to welcome Shao Xi. Dust off.
After being separated for half a year, we finally reunited. Of course, there was a lot to talk about, especially to find out more about Shao Xi's mission to Southern Zhao.
Although some topics cannot be discussed yet, Long Qitai and Xiao Liuzi couldn't help but marvel at what they saw along the way.
Although they were working in Daliang City, Kyoto, they had not been to many places in the Jingyuan Empire, so they listened with interest when Shao Xi talked about the customs, customs, and strange things in various places.
In particular, Xiao Liuzi would ask Shao Xi about what he saw and heard in various places from time to time, and Shao Xi would naturally answer them one by one.
During this process, Shao Xi was also observing Xiao Liuzi's reaction. Sometimes he even deliberately exaggerated some things and used the subtle expressions on his face to observe whether he believed what he said.
Because as a secret agent, even if he has never been to many places, he will know a lot of things through the transmission of news.
Shao Xi deliberately exaggerated certain things, just to see if Xiao Liuzi would still show his previous disdainful expression.
In the end, Shao Xi used facts to prove that Xiao Liuzi did know a lot and showed contempt for his bragging.
This kid is indeed not simple. Now that Xiao Liuzi's identity has been further confirmed, Shao Xi also knows where to start.
The three of them exchanged glasses, and the banquet was filled with joy! Shao Xi also took this opportunity to brag, deliberately showing that he was overwhelmed by the great achievements made in this mission.
The more Shao Xi behaves like this, the more disdainful he becomes to Xiao Liuzi. Shao Xi's complacency is precisely to make Xiao Liuzi pass on the news that he no longer poses a threat to the people behind the scenes.
I don’t know if this is one of the thirty-six strategies.
The strategy of "fake madness but not madness"? But that's what Shao Xi planned at this time. The more Xiao Liuzi thinks that he is not a threat, the more eager Xiao Liuzi will be to pass on the news. As long as he takes action, Shao Xi will have the opportunity to follow his clues.
What he said in Dali Temple today, coupled with his performance at this time, the other party will definitely believe that he thinks everything is fine at this time.
They should feel that they will no longer delve into the previous case of the murder of the Baiye Kingdom envoy, nor will they no longer delve into the matter of someone in the court conspiring to rebel, because now Xiao Yuzhi has taken all the blame.
Shao Xi wants to leave the other party with the feeling that this matter has ended successfully. Only when this matter is over will they move on to the next thing.
What Shao Xi wants to see most at this time is what will they do next? How do you plan to do it? After three rounds of drinking, the three of them were already a little tipsy, so Long Qitai paid the bill and the three of them left Junxiao Tower together.
As soon as he walked out of the restaurant, Shao Xi staggered and fell on Long Qitai. Seeing that Shao Xi was quite drunk, Long Qitai and Xiaoliuzi both reached out to support Shao Xi.
Long Qitai said to Xiao Liuzi: "Today is your day of duty. Go to the city for inspection as soon as possible! In case my eldest brother says that I am supporting you again, Master Shao will be handed over to me and I will take Master Shao home."
"Remember, don't talk about our drinking today. If my elder brother finds out, he will reprimand us two for neglecting our duties."
"Brother Long, don't worry! How can I still talk nonsense after drinking your wine? Xiao Liuzi is not the kind of heartless person! But Brother Long, can you send Master Shao home alone? I think you seem to be I'm a little drunk too." Long Qitai glared at Xiao Liuzi and shouted: "You are getting more and more courageous now, aren't you? Do you dare to question my ability to drink? You can do whatever I ask you to do. Where are you? So much nonsense? Don’t you want to follow me out to drink in the future?” Xiao Liuzi waved his hands quickly and said in a submissive manner: “No, no, no, no! Brother Long, whatever you say is what you say, then I’ll go do some errands.” ! You and Master Shao walk slowly along the way, and when you return to the temple, I will make you a pot of sobering tea."
"That's pretty much it. You finally said something decent, go, go! Leave us alone!"
"Okay! I'll leave first, brother." After saying that, Xiao Liuzi left in a hurry. Seeing Xiao Liuzi gradually walking away, Shao Xi stood up and said to Long Qitai: "Let's go! Let's go see what he is doing as an errand at the moment?"
