It is difficult to quantify and calculate the security situation of a city through data, but it can at least be judged through changes in some factors.
As a dark arrow, Xiaoyu has also received various related trainings. It is not difficult for her to master these skills based on her talent. However, at present, she has not experienced the "graduation assessment", or in other words, she is undergoing her own training. Maybe the assessment.
He Nan and Xiao Yu had a clear understanding of each other, and he understood what she meant almost instantly: "Does it mean there are very few beggars?"
Beggars and refugees have always been regarded as important factors affecting urban security, and the target they want to investigate is related to the population, so it is not surprising that He Nan made such a conjecture - refugees, beggars and even some wandering on the fringes Even if people in the area disappear, no one will report it to the government, and the government has no interest in intervening in management. In fact, he had long suspected that Master Sheng would rob these unregistered people to obtain experimental subjects.
"It seems that our conjecture may be heading in the right direction." He Nan put his index finger between the two rows of teeth and felt the pain of biting: "But after only investigating for a short time, it is still difficult to draw a conclusion. Let's work together tomorrow Let's take action! But judging from the number of people I saw in the underground palace, I'm afraid this victorious master has other ways to kidnap people."
"That's fine." Xiao Yu nodded. Although she has excellent observation and analysis skills, she is indeed very weak in negotiating with others. This means that her information sources are relatively monotonous, but she can cooperate with He Nan. It must have been flawless: "But that Dr. Liu may not be reliable, right? Maybe my idea is not very responsible, but compared with Yaowang Zhai who once treated Lao Wei, if a person who breaks with the sect has to give up If I choose a guy who is more suspicious, then the former is more worthy of suspicion, right?"
From the interaction between Shengshi and King Yama, it is not difficult to find that this person attaches great importance to the confidentiality of his identity. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is flawless. He Nan gathered several sources of intelligence and could only get the clue of Mangcheng, although it is not similar. Finding a needle in a haystack, but getting more conclusive evidence is also time-consuming and laborious.
…………
Compared with the team in the city, the conditions of the team in the wild are not at all difficult. He Nan and Xiao Yu can stay in the inn at night, but Lao Wei and the others can only eat and drink, and from a few people Judging from the equipment they were equipped with, they looked less like an investigation team and more like grave robbers digging graves.
Although He Nan subconsciously cut off contact with Yaowangzhai, Lu Ning still hoped to contribute. At least she was relatively familiar with the surrounding environment. With the help of Mr. Chen, the four of them started to move forward together. River action.
"I said... we don't seem to have a clear goal?" The pickaxe and shovel carried on the left and right shoulders respectively made a cross on the back of Ge Shuhao's neck: "Just in these two days, we want to dig out an underground palace. Isn’t it too fanciful?”
"You don't really think that He Nan expects us to dig through the mountain, do you?" Wei Kui smiled, and he was also carrying digging tools on his back.
"Then what are we doing? Doing manual labor to pass the time? Find something to do that won't make you too embarrassed when discussing merit?" Brother Shuhao admired He Nan very much and knew that this guy would not do such a meaningless thing. Things, saying this is more of a complaint.
"Whether there is an underground palace of Master Sheng here is just a hypothesis, but to support so many monsters, Master Sheng must have a stronghold." Mr. Chen held the map in his hand, with many marks drawn on it: "Food Not to mention the source of the water, the most important thing is how to deal with the remains of the discarded materials.”
Ge Shuhao's face instantly turned serious. Mr. Chen's words reminded him of some unpleasant memories - the cold and damp atmosphere in the dark underground palace, and the smell of rotting bones also continued to ferment under the influence of the environment. Even for a long time after he escaped, his nasal cavity was always filled with that peculiar smell.
"King Yama doesn't seem to deliberately dispose of corpses. The underground palace itself is more like a semi-finished product. It is normal to dig a hole and bury it on the spot, right?" Ge Shuhao said again.
"You are right, but Shengshi is not necessarily so." Mr. Chen's eyes were a little more serious: "The monsters that Shengshi transported to Tempered Stone Villa were all called 'defective products' by him. From the letters between the two, words
It can also be seen that Master Sheng has strict classification standards for the monsters he creates, which also means that he himself is a person with a strong sense of discipline - such a person has a low tolerance for disordered situations and treats them Things must be very organized. "
"It sounds like it's you..." Wei Kui laughed. Mr. Chen has an almost obsessive compulsion to organize items. Even in daily life, he would often restrain everyone's behavior, especially He Nan and Lao Wei. Deeply oppressed.
"Actually, I was forced out by you..." Chen Yanbi had a bitter look on his face. He ran away from home because he didn't want to get involved in the complicated interpersonal relationships in the family, but he had to pick one person out of the team. He can only handle all kinds of miscellaneous matters: "In short, whether it is burial, cremation, water burial, etc., Master Sheng must have a fixed process to deal with the body - not to mention that this person is proficient in medicine and medicine, so what? Do you know that if the body is not disposed of properly, it may cause a plague?"
"So..." Brother Shuhao was dumbfounded. It wasn't that he hadn't understood the implication of Mr. Chen's words, but he had understood it.
"You are right." Old Wei had already wielded the pickaxe, and even did not forget to use his skills when digging the ground: "We are here to see if we can dig out the tomb. Even if we dig out the bones and dregs, we will gain something - —So stop being dumbfounded!"
…………
Although he was involved in it inexplicably, and finally became the mediator between the Beggar Clan and the Sihai Clan by mistake, in any case, He Nan's help to the Beggar Clan was real, so Su Meixiu also specially gave Congratulations. Difficult way to contact beggars.
"Hong Feng, the master of the Seven Pockets Hall, has met these two young heroes." Hong Feng, the master of the Beggar Clan who is often active in this area, is also one of Su Meixiu's confidants. This man is in his thirties and looks similar to Shi Meixiu. Ren Jing's deputy gang leader is almost resolute, but unlike Jing Shen Xiang's humorous character, he is still very consistent with his appearance.
"Are Deputy Gang Leader Jing and Sister Su okay now?" Although He Nan didn't like small talk, the purpose of his asking was not to get closer. The current situation of Jing Shenxiang and Su Meixiu was still worth paying attention to.
"Thanks to Senior Yao Wang Zhaigu and a famous Dr. Liu here, Deputy Gang Leader Jing's left hand was finally reattached, but it would be hopeless to restore it to its original state in the future. Fortunately, Deputy Gang Leader Jing is also more discerning. Open." Hong Feng said: "It's just that Su Zhangbo has been in a bit of trouble recently..."
"Oh? Haven't you found out the culprit yet?" He Nan knew that Hong Feng was from Su Meixiu, so it didn't matter if the topic crossed the line a little bit.
"That's not to say...the gang leader has ordered the matter to be put on hold, and most likely it will be settled - Su Zhangbo is because of her family affairs. But we don't know exactly what happened. I only know that she has already I've been back for more than a month." I don't know whether Hong Feng really didn't know the details or just didn't want to tell him. His answer was ambiguous.
Fortunately, He Nan's attention was not entirely focused on this. He noticed that Hong Feng also mentioned Dr. Liu, and then said: "Is the Dr. Liu from the southern suburbs of Mangcheng what Hall Master Hong is talking about? He is very famous. What? Even Deputy Gang Leader Jing wants to visit him?"
Despite He Nan's nonsense yesterday, he actually made it up based on what he heard through eavesdropping. He had never heard of how capable and famous Doctor Liu was.
"When Dr. Liu was most famous, I had just joined the Beggar Clan. At that time, it was widely rumored in the martial arts world that Yaowangzhai had produced a pair of proud men, namely the current Senior Gu, and the younger one who was slightly younger but had hidden medical skills. "Liu has been ill for a long time" above Senior Gu. "
"Senior Gu has learned from a master. Although his father is not a famous figure, he has been an apprentice of Yaowangzhai since he was a child, and Liu Bingjiu is a genius who emerged from nowhere. His ancestors have never heard of Qian. He has been in this profession, and he is known for his medical skills and especially his unique vision. It is not an exaggeration to say that the medicine can cure the disease - but later, for unknown reasons, the brothers turned against each other. In the end, Doctor Liu Quitting the sect is the end." Hong Feng added, the information on the Beggar Clan is very extensive, and many secrets were revealed, but there are different opinions on the cause of the conflict between the two, and there is no conclusion yet. The closest guess is It was that the two had different opinions on the treatment method of a patient, and finally broke up and could not be reconciled. But now Gu Lianpeng has achieved success
Once he became famous, no one would dwell on the past, and no one dared to raise an eyebrow at Liu Bingjiu's surly temper. This matter would most likely be sealed in the past.
"Are Master Hong familiar with Doctor Liu?" Although He Nan, who took the initiative to contact the Beggar Clan today, wanted to ask for advice on the complicated local forces in Mangcheng, but since Hong Feng knew a thing or two about Liu Bingjiu, he might as well first Ask clearly: "To be honest, my brother Wei Kui was injured before, and he came here to ask Senior Gu for a follow-up consultation. If there are other famous doctors who can consult, that would naturally be the best."
"It's not very familiar, but after I've been here for a long time, I have some friendship - but I have to remind you that his temper is a bit weird. Although he doesn't care about ordinary etiquette, some topics are in front of him. It’s impossible to mention.”
"What about?" He Nan asked again.
"It is said that Dr. Liu once had a son who was frail and sick but was loved very much. But then there was no news about his son. Some people said that he cut off contact with his father for unknown reasons, while others said that he actually died of illness, but in any case It’s better not to talk about other people’s sad things.”
