Shen Hao felt that Zhao Chongwu was creating a "lonely" identity and character background for himself, deliberately making himself "alone" among the crowd. They even made a family of "dummy people" in order to cope with the Yamen's family background investigation.
If you deliberately deceive others like this, there must be absolutely shady things going on.
Basically, Shen Hao has identified Zhao Chongwu as the culprit in that series of disappearances, or at least one of the culprits.
However... there is still no trace of the evil monks found. The absence of evil monks means that the "motive for committing the crime" originally determined by Shen Hao may no longer be tenable.
Why did two ordinary people with no cultivation take away so many children with yin and yang blood?
for money? Looking at Zhao Chongwu's life, this guy doesn't look like someone who takes risks for money, because he even sends most of his salary to the city to hide from others, and would rather live a miserable life by himself.
But if it’s not for money, what else are you after? What's more, Zhan Wenlin, a dignified sixth-rank officer in charge of the Population Department, is also involved. How much benefit does it take to lure such a person into the water?
Finally, after so many years, so many backlogged cases, and so many missing children, if Zhan Wenlin and Zhao Chongwu did it, then where did the missing people go?
Shen Hao stayed up almost all night thinking about these issues. In fact, he could arrest people and torture them. He believed that Zhao Chongwu and Zhan Wenlin would all confess under torture. But what if you arrest someone but scare away the possible evil monk who is still hiding in the dark and has not shown up?
Therefore, with the mentality of "wait a little longer", Shen Hao did not give the order to take action.
"Hey! General Flag, Zhao Chongwu seems to be going on a long trip!" Wang Jian, who was responsible for time-sharing surveillance in the hut, exclaimed in a low voice. Since he arrived, he and Zhang Liao have divided up the task of monitoring Zhao Chong's five gates in real time in the temporary command post. One person is responsible for two hours.
Even when the people in the hut were resting, they turned a blind eye and did not dare to sleep. When they heard Wang Jian's exclamation, they carefully and quickly approached the window.
Shen Hao was sitting on the chair by the window. When he heard the exclamation, he opened his eyes and looked out through the gap in the window. Even though the sky was not bright yet, he could still see the street clearly with his night vision. Case.
I saw Zhao Chongwu pushing the door out and locking it, carrying a large backpack with a lid on his back. This outfit is definitely not for going to the Yamen for work.
"Where is Zhao Chongwu going? The teleportation circle hasn't been activated at this time, right?" Zhang Liao murmured quietly beside him.
"No, he doesn't need to wait. He should have a signed warrant from the Population Department and can pass through the special channel of the teleportation circle, so that he can leave without being seen by others as much as possible."
"Did Zhan Wenlin give it to him? Could it be that Zhan Wenlin was looking for Zhao Chongwu last night to give him the warrant?"
"Maybe it's more than just the warrant." Shen Hao shook his head, and then said: "Let people follow Zhao Chongwu secretly, send more people. Use Xuanqing Guard's sign to seal the mouth on the other side of the teleportation circle. Remember, those who follow will The talismans must be complete, and if you are in danger, call for help immediately. Zhang Liao, follow me personally."
"yes!"
Shen Hao was worried that Zhao Chongwu might have joined the evil monks hiding in the dark when he went out this time, so Shen Hao arranged as many people as possible to follow him secretly. In fact, in a critical moment, if you use a sign of reinforcements, the worst thing you can do is ask the garrison soldiers from various places for help. As long as you are in the city, it will be difficult for the evil monks to escape.
After thinking about it, Shen Hao stopped Zhang Liao again before he left: "Don't act rashly if it's not necessary. See what he wants to do."
"clear."
Zhang Liao led the people away in a hurry. Because it was still dark and there was no one on the street, so on the roof where he led the spies, they hung like ghosts from a distance behind Zhao Chongwu. He may not be as smart as Wang Jian when it comes to investigating cases, but his hands-on experience with people and practical experience are incomparable to Wang Jian's.
"Let's go and visit Zhao Chongwu's house."
While it was still dark, Shen Hao led people into Zhao Chongwu's home for the second time. In addition to Wang Jian, he was accompanied by the same spy who was very good at searching.
Unlock, check, push the door open, and enter after confirming that there is no obstruction.
The furnishings inside were almost unchanged. When I opened the only cabinet in the room, I found that the box containing the animating stones was missing two animating stones, leaving only one that was a bit dim.
"It seems that we are lucky. It should be time for them to start kidnapping people again. Send the order to Zhang Liao and ask him to act according to the opportunity. Don't alert the snake until it is absolutely necessary."
In addition to the two missing pan spiritual stones, another change is that the two large pots in the kitchen have obviously just been washed, including the two huge steaming compartments.
Obviously, these two things were packed by Zhao Chongwu last night. Suddenly, it looked like he was going to use it, and it happened to be just before he did it. Could these be related?
Shen Hao felt an unspeakable chill in his heart.
After coming out of Zhao Chongwu's home, Shen Hao said to Wang Jian: "Strengthen the surveillance around Zhao Chongwujia. Anyone who behaves suspiciously must be checked out! At the same time, focus on Zhan Wenlin's house, who comes in and who goes out, and who goes in and out." Let me know what you are going to do. And find a way to send someone into Zhan Wenlin's house to find out the details, and don't alert the snake. "
"yes!"
Wang Jian also left. Shen Hao was still sitting at the command post, waiting for the people on both sides to return with news.
In the afternoon, news came back from Zhang Liao, saying that he, along with twenty-five Group B experts and twenty Baihu personal guards reinforced by Tang Qingyuan, followed Zhao Chongwu all the way to Haocheng, and then made a large circle. Arriving at a small town market. Zhao Chongwu should have been eyeing the youngest son of a tea shed owner in the market, but he hadn't taken action yet. Zhang Liao sent someone to the local government office to check, and found out that the young son of the tea shed owner was a child with yin and yang blood.
Everything fits.
In the evening, Zhang Liao sent news again, saying that Zhao Chongwu had taken action, using a very powerful medium-grade blinding magic disk. If the spies arranged by Zhang Liao had not been prepared, they would not have been able to escape the target of this kind of magic disk. . However, Zhang Liao discovered that Zhao Chongwu had no intention of harming him after taking him away, and was just carrying him unconscious in a backpack on his back, so he did not capture him immediately. Moreover, after Zhao Chongwu succeeded, he did not choose to return to Fengri City, but instead went to Pingjiang City on the border of the jurisdiction, and Zhang Liao continued to follow up.
It wasn't until late at night that there was news from Wang Jian. Not only did he check Zhan Wenlin's background, but he also had people stage a "drifting" show in the backyard of Zhan's house, and then asked the Black Flag Battalion spies who had infiltrated the Water Dragon Team to walk around Zhan Wenlin's house in a swaggering manner.
"Zhan Wenlin's background is very clean. He is an orphan and a local. He was adopted by an old scholar from a private school and later went to school. He was recommended to enter the yamen. His resume is very clear. There is no abnormality in the family, including the young and old. A few days ago, his mother-in-law After he passed away, he even returned to his hometown. I sent someone to inquire about it, and there was nothing unusual within a short period of time.
But there are a lot of strange things in Zhan Wenlin’s family..."
