Chapter 469: Code Words in the Record of Worshipping Gods

He Lingchuan glanced outside the door. When he saw no one around, he shrank back and placed another barrier.

Seeing him being so grand, even Jiao Yu became nervous.

He Lingchuan opened the "Record of Worshiping Gods" and flipped through the pages.

In order to give Sun Fuling a gift, he memorized the entire "Record of Worshiping the Gods" without missing a word. However, that booklet was given to him by Master Shi Er. Although the content was the same, the layout and font were very different from this one.

He Lingchuan quickly looked through it and confirmed that there was no mystery in the book itself, so he took out Mr. Mai's notebook.

Yes, that's the book filled with code words.

"What!" Jiao Yu's tiger eyes suddenly widened, "Is this code word matching the "Record of Worshiping the Gods"?"

He Lingchuan smiled, holding the pearl of wisdom in his hand: "Why not give it a try?"

In fact, it was Zhong Sunmou who received the book first. He Lingchuan saw it and had been thinking about it for a long time. When the lame beggar also came to give "Record of Worship to Gods", he would be a fool if he didn't understand!

If the book is useless, why should the tall man give it to both?

Jiao Yu became interested, and the huge tiger head came close to block the light: "How to analyze it?"

He Lingchuan had no choice but to push its big head away: "Don't block the light!"

I have to say that the feel of this fur is really first-class, and he touched it twice more.

General Ling also came over.

He Lingchuan simply took out the fluorescent grass.

"The difficulty in deciphering this kind of code lies in finding the book. Finding the right book is more than half the success." He Lingchuan pointed to the first row of code words, "There are three numbers in each group, which should correspond to the number of pages, vertical columns, and horizontal rows. So this is page 35, column six, column nine, let me see—"

"The character is 'five'."

Using this method, he deciphered all the code words on the first piece of paper:

"At noon on the seventh day of the first lunar month, at the White Sands, Xingwangzhuang Nan Teahouse?"

The place name "Baishaqian" is very eye-catching now.

Jiao Yu carefully opened the second piece of paper with the tip of her claws to avoid breaking it: "Come again."

"On the morning of April 23rd, Lingqu Baishiyuan."

Jiao Yu explained to He Lingchuan: "Lingqu is a small town in the north of Chiyan."

"Located in Qizhou?"

"Yes."

"How far is it from Baishali?"

"Hmm, about fifty miles?" Jiao Yu asked him, "Do you think this is the time and place name for the meeting?"

"Of course." He Lingchuan smiled, "But the handwriting in the book is not Mr. Mai's. In other words, the time and place for the meeting were designated by others for Mr. Mai."

Jiao Yu understood: "Superior?"

"It's very possible." He Lingchuan said while thinking, "Mr. Mai was not so careful when collecting the syrup beads from Wan Song and others, let alone changing the transaction location every time. It can be seen that this person has a higher status or special status , are risk averse and need to take a more cautious approach.”

He analyzed another secret code.

"On the twenty-ninth day of the seventh month, at noon, the fourth floor of Baisha Chaohu Tower!"

Jiao Yu's eyes lit up when he saw it, "Today is July 19th, and they haven't connected yet!"

"How long does it take to get to Qizhou from here?"

"It will take about five or six days to travel at normal speed." Jiao Yu calculated, "If we travel day and night, it will take us at most two and a half days with our foot power!"

"That is to say, according to Mr. Mai's normal schedule, if he stays in Shuanglu Town for ten days and then goes to Qizhou, the time is just right." He Lingchuan smiled, "He is going to hand in the beads. "

If Mr. Mai has a boss, he must hand over all the syrup beads he obtained from Wan Song on a regular basis.

General Ling stood up and shook his hair, showing his impatience: "Let's go straight on, we must get there before Mr. Mai!"

Traveling at night?

Seeing He Lingchuan's brows furrowed, General Ling said with a smile on his face: "My deadline for going east is coming soon, and I will be punished if I miss the deadline. I want to settle this matter as soon as possible, but Zhongsun Xiaoduzi is staring at me."

He had to rush to the battlefield within ten days, and now he had to go to Baishaqing first. Time was tight and he couldn't afford to waste it.

"Is Bai Shaqian?" He Lingchuan smiled: "I'm not going!"

General Ling stared: "What?"

Jiao Yu also said: "July 29th is the trading day, what's the use of us going early?"

"I have an old friend in Baishaqiang. Maybe he can help us check it out." General Ling tried to persuade, "If we can prepare in advance, wouldn't it be nice for both people and the stolen goods?"

"You forgot that Mr. Mai is on the run." Jiao Yu pointed out directly, "Mr. Mai's lair has been raided. Maybe he will warn his superiors, so this transaction is likely to be cancelled."

"Uh..." Mr. Ling was speechless, and then became irritable, "Then what do you think we should do?"

The two monsters stared at He Lingchuan with big eyes and small eyes, and they looked at He Lingchuan at the same time. They saw this man pressing his hand on the "Record of Worshiping the Gods" with a face full of deep thought.

"Guess who sent this book?"

The two demons shook their heads simply: "I can't guess."

Jiao Yu even asked: "Besides us and Zhong Sunmou, is there anyone else who is also looking at Mr. Mai?"

"I can't say for sure, but that person must really hope that we can get to Qizhou in time." He Lingchuan thought to himself. The person behind the scenes was not sure whose hands these pages of code words fell into, so he had to send books to both him and Zhongsun Mou. , hedging your bets.

This was probably because when he took away the scroll from Mr. Mai's study, the old gatekeeper who had been infested with eye mites had not returned yet.

In other words, it was the same person who planted mites on the old gatekeeper and delivered books to both teams.

Who could this person be?

He could not simply judge that this person had no ill intentions towards him.

"He knows exactly what Mr. Mai is doing, and how he is in contact with his boss." He Lingchuan said seriously, "He is even anxious to push all the clues to us."

Jiao Yu speculated: "Could this man have a deep hatred with the murderer behind the scenes?"

He Lingchuan said: "Maybe this is another trap."

"Trap?"

"Have you forgotten?" He Lingchuan did not forget, "When we went to Yulun Mountain to check the pig nest, Mr. Mai took the opportunity to send Wan Song to intercept us, because he knew our whereabouts. If he does the same thing again this time... From Shuanglu How many routes are there from the town to Baisha? "

Jiao Yu thought for a moment: "Two? Three?"

"Two, two!" General Ling knocked on the floor impatiently, regardless of whether the guests downstairs were asleep or not, "Just tell me, what should we do now!"

"I said, we are not going to Baisha."

"Then what should we do?"

"Leave Baisha to Zhongsun Mou. If he can solve the case, we will be happy to enjoy the fruits of his labor." Fu Shanyue's appeal is to find out the truth. The process is not important, and it is not important who solves the mystery. Just give him a definite result. "We stay to track down Wan Song's whereabouts, which is exactly the opposite of the previous division of labor."

Before, Zhongsun Mou was chasing the murderer, and he was investigating Mr. Mai. Now it seems that he is going to reverse.

General Ling sighed: "Yes, we are going to track down Wan Song!"

The direct murderer of the Zuanfeng Beast tribe is Wan Song. Of course, he should chase Wan Song first to pay for his blood debt with blood!

It's all because of the complicated situation at the moment, which almost led him into a ditch.

"So where do we start?"

"I want to go back to Youtian Town." He Lingchuan said, "I left too hastily during the day, and I didn't ask some things clearly."

After asking Mr. Mai's address from Mr. Wan yesterday, they hurried over.

"By the way, what clues do you have about the ivory ball?" General Ling suddenly remembered this thing, "I saw you took it for a long time."

"It's just an ivory ball, what clues can it have?" He Lingchuan smiled slightly, "I like ivory, what's wrong with playing with it a few more times?"

"Uh..." General Ling was about to leave. He Lingchuan called down the goshawk on the tree and ordered: "Keep an eye on Zhongsun Mou, don't let this team out of your sight."

The goshawk nodded.

Before it flapped its wings and flew high, it gave him a tail feather to guide the way later.

Birds are good at monitoring and tracking. He Lingchuan sighed again, and then set out on the road back to Youtian Town with several monsters.

"This time, let the inspector of Lingxu City explore the way for us." He Lingchuan said with a smile, "After we received the "Record of Worshiping Gods", we did not go to Baishazhuo, but left Shuanglu Town to Youtian Town. The person behind the scenes would probably think that the scroll was taken away by Zhongsun Mou, and the subsequent attention would be focused on him."

Jiao Yu nodded: "No matter what, we can't let the person behind the scenes lead us by the nose!"

"He spent so much effort to guide us to Baishazhuo, probably set up a trap. We will fall into the trap if we go there, and it would be a pity if we don't go." He Lingchuan said leisurely, "Then let the inspector explore the way for us. It's best if there is nothing to worry about. Once we encounter a trap..."

Jiao Yu chuckled: "The inspector is skilled and brave, and we don't need to worry about him."

"That's right."

The road between the two towns is relatively flat, and it doesn't take much effort to travel at night.

He Lingchuan rode on the back of the mountain goat, with the wind on the left and the tiger on the right, causing pedestrians along the way to look back. I don't know where this human came from and why he is so majestic?

He Lingchuan had long ignored the looks of others and said to several monsters: "As for Zhongsun Mou, I suspect he has more information than what he has revealed on the surface."

The two monsters were both shocked: "What do you mean?"

"Remember in Mr. Mai's yard, I said that we found out that the murderer behind the scenes was killing monsters and taking pearls?"

"Remember."

"At that time, Zhongsun Mou casually said, 'Take the pearls, what pearls'?" He Lingchuan repeated, "and then he didn't ask any more questions."

General Ling tilted his head and didn't hear any questions.

"He came to investigate the case and shouldn't miss any clues. We clearly revealed such an important motive for the crime, why didn't he ask or mention it?"

He didn't mention it because...? Jiao Yu blinked: "Does he know what that thing is?"

"I was vague and didn't say what kind of bead it was. And not all monsters can condense into a monster bead, but Zhongsun Mou didn't ask." He Lingchuan said slowly, "This is subconscious, there is no need to ask, because he knows what it is in his heart."

"Of course, it is not ruled out that this guy is careless, but I think the probability is small. Those who can be appointed as inspectors by Lingxu City should at least be a little careful, right?"
