Chapter 75 Double Lines
In the evening, Feilong came out from Xuan Qingwei's back door with slow footsteps. Looking back with complicated eyes, he let out a long sigh.
"I'm just a matchmaker, why play me like this!"
Recalling the name and description on that note, Fei Long's heart trembled.
"I hope this is just a dream!"
Sitting blankly in the corner of the alley, Feilong closed his eyes as if he was really about to wake up from this depressive "dream".
"Hey, let's go back."
The reality is that he is so powerless to resist, and if he doesn't want to die, he can only follow the trend and seek victory in danger. But when he touched the banknote in his pocket, Flying Dragon's face became a bit bloody.
Three thousand taels of silver is not a small amount. With Feilong's experience in the black market for so many years, he can only earn so much throughout the year. It's not bad to make a profit.
Feilong walked out of the alley after his heart calmed down, with a fierce face, making passers-by fearful of avoiding him, and walked back home.
The next day, Feilong left two thousand silver bills at home and went out, asking his wife to take the children back to his natal home for a while, saying that he would pick them up after he finished his work.
After that, no one knows where Feilong went.
As for the Black Flag Camp, Wang Jian and Zhang Liao were both working hard, and they were all ready to dig a hole in the Licheng Population Department to push the case investigation a big step forward.
In fact, Wang Jian and Zhang Liao still have some friendship in private, otherwise Wang Jian would not have directly recommended Zhang Liao to Shen Hao to become a small banner officer in Group B. But as Shen Hao said, there is competition within the Black Flag Battalion, which is related to one's own future, and no one will be humble.
Therefore, both Group A and Group B took back all the people who had been scattered in the field before, and secretly targeted everyone in the Licheng Population Department, even Qin Za.
For three days in a row, when Wang Jian and Zhang Liao went to Shen Hao's office to report the case, there was no progress. The people in the Population Department were not much different from ordinary government officials in terms of details and daily life, let alone Any sign that they're going to mess with the evil cultivators of Public Enemy needs to keep an eye on.
As a result, the progress of the case still seems to be unable to push forward.
"Don't worry, check it out again carefully. If the Licheng Population Department has no problem, then continue to deduce the possible joint points. We have to make bold assumptions and carefully verify the case."
Wang Jian and Zhang Liao lowered their heads, they should have left Shen Hao's office later. After that, the two left in a hurry without saying a word. Both of them are not newcomers, each has a lot of experience, they instinctively feel that there is no problem with the direction they are currently exploring, but they don't understand why they are getting nothing. Moreover, Shen Hao's words before leaving seemed to have something in them, and they were still trying to figure it out.
Not long after the two of them left, the guard outside the door told Shen Hao that there was a message from the back door of the station that the flying dragon was coming.
Meeting Feilong was still in the torture room, and Shen Hao also screened the others away. Anyway, there are no criminals who need to be tortured in the Black Flag Camp recently. The environment here is quiet, and Shen Hao thinks it is a suitable place for conversation. He completely ignored Feilong's resentful little eyes.
Different from before, Feilong came here this time and was carefully "dressed up". He was wearing a bamboo hat, which covered the black gauze, and he was no longer wearing a bunt but a long robe. Even his wife would not be able to recognize this outfit when walking on the street.
"Shen Zongqi, we have already started to do what you ordered, and we have found these for the time being." Feilong took off the black gauze hat on his head, took an envelope from his arms, and handed it to Shen Hao. Inside was his two days coming grades.
Shen Hao opened the envelope and began to read, at the same time motioned Feilong to briefly introduce the process.
"General Banner, I didn't dare to find anyone to do this. I only found five people who I know the details of. These people are very courageous, and they have all worked in the army. They're all sloppy and tight-lipped. I only took out these five people for two thousand taels before taking them down.
But basically I have figured out the basic situation of the six people on the list you gave.
The chief officer, Zhan Wenlin, lives in Tongzi Street in the south of Fengri City. He has a big house. There are probably no less than fifty members of his family, old and young. I didn't see any monks coming in and out, but all of them were dressed as scholars, clean and white.
Adjutant Yang Kaishi also lives in Tongzi Street. The house is also not small, but the family is not large. The old people in the family have not come here. Yang Kaishi's family and several slaves and handymen live in the house.
There are two old streets living in the west of the city, namely Wang Da and Zhao Chongwu.
Wang Da is a native of Fengri City, and he has an older brother and an older sister on his head. The older sister married to Haocheng, and the older brother opened a small wine shop.
Zhao Chongwu is from Yucheng, his wife and children are in his hometown, and now he is renting a house by himself.
The other two live in Caishikou in the north of the city. One is Xie Huan and the other is Zeng Yong. They both moved here from other places. Their families are small and there is no one else except their wives and children. Like Zhao Chongwu, they both rented houses. "
Shen Hao read Feilong's letter to him before throwing it into the brazier. He frowned and asked, "Is there anything special about the living habits of these people?"
"Nothing special found so far. Still."
"Say, don't hesitate."
"But Mr. Shen, do you want to give some more funding? Those people feel a little guilty after knowing that they are following officials. I don't need money to suppress them. I'm worried that they will give up their picks and quit."
"Yes." Shen Hao was not stingy, he didn't pay the money personally, and he would take the account of the Black Flag Camp when the time came. But you can't give too much, just let someone send a thousand taels over and pass it to Feilong.
"Help me with things well, and you won't lose your benefits. Go ahead, keep an eye on it, and don't let go of every detail. If you don't have enough manpower, you can figure it out by yourself, but remember, you are doing these things yourself, and I And the Black Flag Camp has nothing to do with it, and I don’t recognize it, understand?”
The corners of Feilong's eyes twitched slightly, and his heart felt cold, but he responded quickly.
"Okay, go back and keep watching."
"Yes. The little one will take his leave."
Watching Feilong put on his bamboo hat again and leave, Shen Hao pondered over the news brought back by the other party. Compared with Xuan Qingwei, Feilong's efficiency is naturally incomparable, but it is still acceptable. Besides, the other party is currently the least risky choice for Shen Hao, so he can only make do with it.
And the advantage of using Feilong is that it is easy to separate the relationship. If something goes wrong, he can completely insist that there is no such thing, and then cut off Feilong's head with a backhand. Who can do anything to him afterwards? There is no psychological burden for Shen Hao to kill a middleman in the black market. Moreover, the case itself also involved the trading of magic weapons in the black market, and no one would be suspicious of finding the hidden clue of Feilong.
However, Shen Hao is still not sure how effective this move will be. Let's take a step first and see if it doesn't work before thinking of other ways.
