Zhan Wenlin, Yang Kaishi and Wang Da, Feilong all knew that these three people were on the six-person list given to him by Shen Hao before. But Cheng Xu and Wang Jingci, who are these two people?
"Don't let others know about this, understand?" Feilong said as he took out a fifty-tael silver note and put it in the other person's hand.
"Okay, Brother Feilong, shall I continue to stay in this restaurant?"
"No, you go to the hut in the south of the city first and hide for two days. I will arrange for you later."
"Okay." After the man said this, he turned around and left quickly towards the south.
Feilong also followed the alley and escaped, passing through two dark blocks and returning to a simple little shabby house.
In Fengri City, Feilong rented a total of nine such huts, scattered near the four gates in the southeast, northwest and northwest of Fengri City. They were all in inconspicuous alleys and were located in the dead ends of the block.
As Feilong told Shen Hao before, he found five people to come and help him, but these five people didn't know each other's existence. They only knew that Feilong asked them to come and keep an eye on people. If they keep an eye on this today, they might change it tomorrow. One, sometimes I will find out some details. Things change quickly, and no one knows what Feilong is going to do.
Five of the houses Feilong rented were prepared for these five people. He changed the other four rooms every day, which can be said to be an extreme measure of caution.
After a silent night, Feilong went out at dawn and returned to Licheng from the teleportation circle. Then he entered through the back door of the Black Flag Camp of the Xuanqing Guards and saw Shen Hao in the gloomy torture room. .
Shen Hao was quite surprised by Feilong's sudden arrival, because it meant that Feilong had most likely encountered something unexpected.
"What's wrong?"
"Mr. Shen Qi, yesterday seventeen people from the Population Department went to a restaurant in Fengri City to have a drink. I found out the news in advance, arranged for a man to pretend to be a store clerk, and then found an important piece of information in the side room!"
"Don't show off, just tell me!"
"The man who was disguised as a store clerk had the ability to have a nose that was sharper than a dog's, so I asked him to get closer and smell it. It turned out that five of the seventeen people in the department were actually contaminated with pancreatic cancer. The scent of spiritual stones!”
Shen Hao felt a sudden change in his heart when he heard this, but he didn't express it on his face. Instead, he asked with a smile: "Did I ask you to arrange for people to have close contact with the target?"
"Ah? Mr. Qi, I, I made my own guess. Didn't you hear me mention the smell of the pan spirit stone before and then you asked me to keep an eye on people in secret? I thought just staring at these people wouldn't be enough. What do you mean, they are all weak scholars, and there happened to be a suitable opportunity, so they asked people to get closer...General Flag, I, I didn't ruin your big things, right?"
Feilong only now realized that he seemed to have taken it for granted. If things were not what he thought, it would be self-defeating, and he was instantly frightened.
Shen Hao shook his head noncommittally, his smile not diminishing but his tone a bit colder: "It's a good thing to have ideas, but why didn't you inform me in advance? Making decisions without permission is a crime that can lead to beheading in the Xuanqing Guard."
"General Flag, I, I won't dare to do it next time, I was wrong! I..." Feilong's legs became weak after hearing the word "kill the head", and he knelt on the ground ready to cry.
"Okay. You are not a member of the Xuanqing Guard yet, and I have no intention of cutting off your head just yet. Get up and say what you just said clearly."
"Ah? Oh oh oh! Chief Banner, my people came back and said that there are five people with the scent of spiritual stones on their bodies. Three of them are on the list of six people you gave me. They are the chief officer Zhan Wenlin and the adjutant Yang Kaishi. , and the squad leader Wang Da, the remaining two are not on the list, one is named Cheng Xu and the other is Wang Jingci, both of them are junior officers in the Population Department."
Xiao Langguan is actually equivalent to a general official.
"How long can the fragrance of Panling Stone stay on your body?"
"According to the man under my command, he can smell the aroma of the pan-spiritual stone that was tainted five days ago at most, and if it takes longer it will be too faint to be able to tell."
Shen Hao was silent again.
Feilong is not Wang Jian or Zhang Liao, so there are many things that cannot be told to him.
"I remember that Panling Stone is not a market item. It is only rationed in the military and Xuanqing Guards. In the yamen, only a few yamen servants can apply for it, and the quantity is very small. How did the scent of Panling Stone come from these people? ? You should be able to figure it out, right?"
Feilong also knew at this time that he could not hide his clumsiness, and nodded: "There will be no pan-spiritual stone for sale in the world. Even if there is no war, it is a material controlled by the imperial court. If you want to buy it, you can only go to the black market. Hehe, forty people in the area under the jurisdiction of Fengri City I basically know all the middlemen who sell pan spirit stones in the black market in the three cities. It’s not difficult to find out, but it just takes some time.”
"how long it takes?"
"Four days."
"In three days, I don't just want the information about the five people you mentioned purchasing the pan spirit stone. I want to check it out with everyone else in the Population Department."
"Ah?! Chief Flag, this..."
"Bang!" Shen Hao slapped his hand on the table, which startled Feilong. When he moved his hand away, he found two banknotes with a denomination of one thousand.
"I promise it will be done within three days!"
"Very good. Also be careful not to involve me in this matter."
"I understand, little one."
It's easier to do things if you have money, but Feilong's two thousand taels of silver is enough for him to continue to fight. Moreover, it is really not difficult for him to find out the origin of the spiritual stones in the hands of several people.
Feilong left happily, but the smile on Shen Hao's face quickly disappeared, and his brows were furrowed.
According to Shen Hao's original plan, the purpose of Feilong as a surprise soldier was not to seize the breakthrough point in the case, but to secretly infiltrate the officials of Fengri City's Population Department and take a good stand before the Black Flag Battalion officially took action. Feilong made the decision without authorization but somehow managed to make some openings, which somewhat disrupted his plan.
After all, the Population Department of Fengri City is now only Shen Hao's unilateral suspicion. Before the suspicion of the Population Department of Licheng is completely eliminated, all actions can only be carried out secretly or even with the help of others.
But now things are forcing Shen Hao to take more risks.
Shen Hao secretly calculated: All the officials in the Population Department of Fengri City are ordinary people without cultivation. There are only six people who have the opportunity to legitimately access the population registers reported by various places. At present, the backgrounds of these six people seem to be different. There is no problem, and there is no sign of interaction with the evil monks...
Zhang Liao had previously raised two huge doubts. One was the identity of the criminal, and the other was the method by which the criminal targeted his target. Looking at the last doubt alone, if the crime was committed within the Population Department, this doubt can be explained away. But then a new doubt will emerge, that is, the "motive for committing the crime."
At first, Shen Hao's motive for committing the crime was that he was an evil monk based on the "yin and yang blood energy". However, if someone from the Population Department committed the crime, this motive would be questioned.
Unless the people from the Population Department and the evil monks collude with each other?
PS: Stop shouting like a eunuch, it’s so cool. In addition, this is not a cool article. You need to slowly expand the world, so don't rush.
