Chapter 146 Crouching Dragon and Phoenix (2 updates, please vote for me!)
Gulu.
The shopkeeper swallowed.
Look up.
The sun shone in through the broken door, making the young man's face somewhat backlit, making it difficult to see his expression.
Behind the young man, some onlookers gathered at the door, pointing and pointing.
“What’s going on?”
“It looks like someone is vandalizing the place.”
“Can the Truth Checker be vandalized too? Isn’t there someone behind them?”
>
“Who knows, I heard people say that Yudifu is handling the case, I guess it’s someone from Yudifu.”
"Oh...that's normal. What these lunatics do is normal."
Yes, what these lunatics do is normal!
The shopkeeper's face was trembling, and he couldn't express his sorrow.
Among all the forces in Tianyuan Town, only the people in Yudi Mansion are the craziest!
When you suspect that you are a demon, you have to live and die to test your true identity!
The shopkeeper doesn’t want to die.
So he didn’t dare to move.
Afraid that the cold sword would scratch his neck if he was provoked.
But he still had a mouth, so he spoke with difficulty.
“Sir, please spare my life!!”
If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't kneel down, everyone from top to bottom would have kowtowed to Fang Yu and begged for mercy.
"Now do you know how to spare your life? Didn't you just want to kill me?"
Fang Yu said calmly.
But the shopkeeper is so smart, he immediately knew that the other party had no real intention to kill him.
But with this sword still on his neck, he might still be killed.
Ten households, ten households in the foolish underworld, will they have no achievements at hand?
One life is still affordable.
So the shopkeeper doesn’t dare to gamble, and he can’t gamble either.
After all, there is only one life.
"Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, huge misunderstanding! Master Juhu! Master Juhu, please listen to my explanation!"
Fang Yu was happy.
Edit, then edit.
"Do you know that if you openly attack ten households in Yudi Mansion, I can chop off your head without any merit."
"Don't you dare! I don't dare!!"
As if he realized something, the shopkeeper quickly yelled at the thugs around him.
"What are you still doing? Put them down! Go and invite Master Juhu to have tea!"
Everyone came back to their senses.
Facing Yudi Mansion, the weapons in hand are already just decorations.
Now that the shopkeeper spoke, they naturally put down their weapons.
Someone ran to the door to disperse the people.
Someone set up the seats, took the cloth off their shoulders and wiped them quickly, looking at Fang Yu and the others with a charming smile.
Someone trotted out and took out the fine tea from the counter, brewed it in hot water, and was waiting nearby.
Everyone performed their duties, and they were a little skilled. Everyone was a little confused when they saw Zhang Chenchen on the ground.
Could it be that they have encountered similar things before?
Actually, this is not the case.
It's just that the shop is here to do special business and will always entertain some special guests.
So for some records, in fact, I have secretly trained my subordinates on weekdays.
Nowadays, only in actual combat can order appear in chaos.
"Sir, sir, look..."
The shopkeeper smiled at Fang Yuqian.
Fang Yu snorted coldly.
She put her sword away and took her second sister to her seat.
The shopkeeper touched his neck, and his back was covered in cold sweat.
I just felt like I was walking through the gates of hell.
As if sensing Fang Yu's gaze, the shopkeeper hurriedly stood up. Without even having time to dust himself off, he quickly sat down opposite Fang Yu and smiled flatteringly at the two of them.
"Two, what are you doing here today?"
That's right.
The shopkeeper still doesn’t understand why these two people are here.
As soon as you enter the door, you will hit the scene.
After being surrounded, you will kill someone with your backhand.
He takes the lead and has a fierce momentum. He is not afraid of anyone who lets him go.
So the shopkeeper still doesn’t understand what offended the two of them.
To be precise, he was not familiar with these two people and had no impression of them.
It came out of nowhere.
The ten households in Yudi Mansion are already considered famous in Tianyuan Town.
In his case, at least it was on the list or something.
But, no.
He has never seen this Diao Deyi, so how could he have a record in the store's information?
"What's the matter? You really forget a lot of things."
"About three or five days ago, my second sister came to you to place an order. Do you still have any impressions?"
Second sister?
A list?
The shopkeeper then focused on the woman next to Juhu.
A typical image of a poor family, skinny and skinny, with a vaguely good foundation, but that's just it.
As for the impression.
No.
The shopkeeper wanted to shake his head, but he was more afraid of the sword on the opposite side, which was faster.
So he just pondered and looked like he was thinking, but in fact his eyes were already drifting to the people standing next to the seats.
But no one understood what he meant.
On the contrary, Zhang Chenchen, who had just stood up from the ground, understood it at a glance.
As he trotted to the back room, someone peeked out of the back room and glanced at the woman. After a while, Zhang Chenchen came back with a piece of paper.
"The shopkeeper is Ms. Diao Ruru. It's a missing person's list. Did you forget to pull it? We sent more than a dozen people to search a few streets that day."
Zhang Chenchen said. .
The acting is pretty good.
But Fang Yu just laughed.
The second sister was a little reserved and nervous. She was holding tea and blowing secretly at a loss.
When I heard Zhang Chenchen say that the Investigation Bureau had sent more than a dozen people to investigate the whereabouts of his eldest brother, his eyes widened with astonishment on his face.
Because this is obviously different from the information she knows.
"Miss Diao Ruru, right? Oh, yes, yes, we are investigating the whereabouts of our elder brother Diao Ruinian..."
The shopkeeper quickly scanned the information, and the information entered his brain, and he immediately understood what was going on. .
Although the order was never in his hands, even he, the shopkeeper, didn't know about it.
But it was indeed their investigation workshop that did the thing.
The reason why he failed is actually very simple.
The list is too small.
Three days, three liang, searching for people.
If the person below dared to bring this kind of list in front of him, it would be considered good without a few slaps. How could he still let him look at it?
But the bad thing is that no one thought that this Diao Ruru, a woman who only had three taels of silver to look for her eldest brother, would have such a defiant younger brother from ten households?
This, this, this, this, what is this?
You are already covered by brothers from ten households, how about you use a few to fool others?
Ten households have a basic salary of 30 taels per month, not to mention all kinds of gray income.
No matter how bad your brother is, how much money will he get if it is shared with your sister?
The shopkeeper didn’t understand.
Either these ten households are so selfish that they won’t give any money they earn to their sister.
Either the second sister has a bad relationship with her eldest brother and doesn’t want to find anyone at all.
But looking at the current situation, it seems that neither of them can match up.
So...what's the situation?
The shopkeeper looked at the two of them carefully.
"Um... Master Shihu, the order has been closed."
"It's closed?"
Fang Yu slapped the table. "See for yourself, what is the final conclusion!"
A sweep from the shopkeeper.
‘I checked Shifang Tea House, made an unannounced visit to Guangyuan Station, and stopped at the peony dyeing workshop. ’
‘The target situation, life or death is unknown. ’
‘If you want to know the details of the route and the details of the investigation process, please pay an additional deposit of 30 taels first. ’
‘Our store will deduct subsequent fees in proportion, refund any excess, and provide additional investigation services. This content is not subject to credit. ’
The shopkeeper:...
The shopkeeper looked embarrassed.
This is their common method for investigating detective houses.
To put it simply, this thing is for fishing.
Whether it's life or death, I can't say for sure.
The route can be mentioned.
However, the detailed results of the investigation, the content of the interviews, etc., all require additional fees.
The core thing is just one sentence...you have to pay more.
This method is specially used to trap those poor people.
Squeeze out all the money and put the order on hold indefinitely, and that's it.
The method is a bit low-level, but very easy to use.
To deal with the few guests, you have to use these methods to lure them and force them to find ways to get money and find people.
If it is a rich customer, it will naturally be another trick, not such a low-level method.
As for the survey results, how much is true and how much is false.
He, the shopkeeper, couldn't see it either.
After all, it is the people below who actually implement these orders.
How far it can be done depends on the conscience of the executor.
If you are willing to do more errands and do real investigations, you can.
False reports are okay too.
Anyway, the store doesn't care about you, just collect the money in the end.
For such a small order, the store provides a lot of flexibility and freedom.
After thinking about it, the shopkeeper said.
“Three days are really a bit hasty...”
Fang Yu sneered.
"Three taels of silver is not a small amount. Once you give the money, you have to do something."
Fang Yu couldn't tell that this thing was just to force the second sister to continue throwing money.
Thankfully, the second sister just attaches great importance to her family and is not without brains.
As soon as Fang Yu told him this, he immediately brought people to destroy the place.
He is not very demanding either.
Just state the survey results in the list clearly.
As for whether you should spend money to find someone, it depends on the specific situation.
The shopkeeper wanted to quibble, this is the rule here.
But look at Fang Yu’s aggressive appearance.
The shopkeeper was really afraid that as soon as he opened his mouth, someone would stab his mouth with a sword and come out from the back of his head.
For the sake of his own life, he quickly waved to Zhang Chenchen.
"Go and call Xiao Huang over."
The shopkeeper finally figured it out.
There are so many people in the store, but this new guy is smarter, the others are just a bunch of useless people!
Ordinary people who bully people on weekdays can’t tell.
I encountered a tough situation today, and no one is reliable.
Zhang Chenchen trotted upstairs.
Then she discovered that there were many people gathered at the entrance of the corridor after going up to the second floor.
Seeing someone coming up, the group of people looked at each other.
It turned out that they had heard the noise downstairs for a long time, but no one dared to go down to see what happened.
Now that they saw Zhang Chenchen, they all asked gossipy questions.
"New here, what's going on down there?"
"I heard that Yudi Mansion is handling a case? Are there any demons?"
"Is the shopkeeper okay? How much is the monthly salary? It’s not over yet.”
Zhang Chenchen was speechless.
These people's loyalty to the store is even lower than that of her who just joined the company.
I shouted twice, who is Xiao Huang.
After a while, someone pointed out that Xiao Huang was receiving guests in the private room next door.
It is said to be a private room, but in fact it is just a small private room. The guests on the second floor are never wealthy guests.
Xiao Huang's position is just an ordinary investigator. He is not qualified to receive guests from higher levels.
When Zhang Chenchen opened the door of the private room, Xiao Huang and the guests were confused.
"Follow me! The shopkeeper has something urgent to do with you!"
Moving the shopkeeper out, Xiao Huang naturally had nothing to say.
Take someone downstairs.
Seeing so many people, Xiao Huang stood awkwardly next to the shopkeeper.
"Shopkeeper, what's going on?" Xiao Huang asked nervously.
"Nothing, let me tell you the results of the investigation of this list to Mr. Shihu."
The word "Shihu" was spoken very strongly by the shopkeeper, which made Xiao Huang understand the seriousness of the matter.
But...
"Huh? Didn't the leader say that we need to pay more for this? If we don't pay more, we won't be allowed to write it on the materials..."
Xiao Huang felt two balls of fire burning, which were the two eyes of the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper gritted his teeth and said.
“If you are asked to say it, just say it!”
You have no discernment!
Don’t even look at what’s happening now!
Is it possible that except for that Zhang Chenchen, my store is all trash?
The shopkeeper feels that if this matter can be implemented smoothly, he must recruit some smart people to work around him in the future, otherwise if something goes wrong one day, there will not even be anyone to help and cover!
"Yes..."
"Three taels of silver is three days of investigation time."
"I started from Diao Ruinian's Shifang Tea House."
"But the strange thing is that the people in the tea house are very wary of this matter and are unwilling to disclose unnecessary information to outsiders."
"At that time, I wondered whether it was the people in the tea house who were responsible for this matter. Diao Ruinian had done something wrong and destroyed the body. "
"But as the investigation deepened, I found that the people in the tea house had a good impression of Diao Ruinian. Although they refused to disclose more information, they also expressed it during the chat. There were many sighs about Diao Ruinian’s disappearance.”
“Since there didn’t seem to be any conflicts among my colleagues, I couldn’t find out anything else, so I asked about the operation of the tea house in the days when Diao Ruinian disappeared.”
“One of the details makes me a little concerned.”
"Some people said that in those days, there was very little work and tea was out of stock. They were all waiting for the goods to be replenished. The shopkeeper also asked the clerk to help go to the post station to collect goods, but very few people responded."
"Diao Ruru. The family was probably not rich. Diao Ruinian might have taken this job because he wanted to make more money."
"So I went to check the nearest inn to the tea house the next day."
“After checking three inns in a row, I heard someone at the inn say that Guangyuan Inn has a special warehouse for tea, which is difficult to preserve and is very valuable, and may have cooperation with Shifang Tea House.”
< br>“It’s the third day of investigating Guangyuan Station.”
"Guangyuan Station has powerful support behind it. Not only are the people very strict, but there are also patrol teams to drive people away."
"After a lot of trouble, it wasn't until nightfall that we found out a piece of news. The owner of the Peony Dyeing House seems to have a good relationship with the owner of Guangyuan Station."
"This is a good direction for investigation, but the employer did not invest more, so I stopped investigating."
< br>Speaking of this, Xiao Huang felt a little regretful.
It seems that I am also a little interested in this matter.
It feels quite twists and turns, mysterious.
Beside Xiao Huang, there were people with their mouths wide open.
The shopkeeper was shocked.
Confused.
Who is this?
Is this my man?
When did I recruit such a capable guy?
Was this Xiao Huang so smart before? ?
How come I don’t know? No feeling at all? Not aware of it at all?
Shouldn’t my men be all deceitful bastards? ?
Zhang Chenchen was also confused. There was actually a crouching tiger, hidden dragon in the store?
Is there a Wolong like me, and a phoenix like Xiao Huang?
I’ve been a little too busy reading lately, so I offer this book as a sacrifice!
