Jiang Qiao hadn't focused on Cobra before because she thought that other comrades were doing this, and once they knew more about the situation, Song Shutian and the others would naturally tell her, so she wasn't in a hurry.

The situation is different now. She can't guarantee what Jiang Jinyu and Song Shutian's current situation is. Now, the only thing she can do is to unite with the people around her who can help, pool their wisdom, and work together to catch this venomous snake. Otherwise, she might be the next one to be bitten.

Jiang Qiao stroked her chin and suddenly said, "Do you guys think that Xu Shaoqing might have a change of heart one day and become a monk?"

A seemingly unintentional remark suddenly enlightened Liu Zhanyu: "My God, Jiang Qiao, you know what, it's really possible."

If this guy were a monk staying at a temple, he could wander around freely. Besides, these people outside the secular world don't know much about this kind of thing, so if he does it discreetly, it's really hard to find out.

If he weren't the abbot, he'd only be dealing with the monks in the temple, and all he'd be doing is chanting sutras. Good heavens, I have a feeling this old guy might actually be hiding in the temple.

"You've been mobilizing the masses for so long, but there's still no news. Who among the common people would go to that place for no reason?"

Even Liu Zhanyu had to admit that "none of us had thought of it that way before. We always felt that someone like him might not be able to let go of worldly desires, and that he would at least want to live a life of eating meat and drinking wine."

Jian Ling snorted coldly, "Does being a monk mean you can't eat meat and drink alcohol? Lu Zhishen was a monk, wasn't he? Someone like Cobra was a fake monk. What did he miss out on? It's just that he was in the wrong place. Otherwise, I bet he could support several concubines."

However, on the other hand, which temple is this person in? There are so many temples!

Liu Zhanyu looked at Jiang Qiao and asked, "Girl, tell me, where might he be?"

Jiang Qiao frowned and thought for a while. "This distance can't be too far from the capital, but it's also convenient for him to escape. Think about it, which location is the most suitable?"

Furthermore, you should all think about it, is there a more suitable place than a temple?

Liu Zhanyu had no time to study anything else and quickly took out a map from his bag to study it. Jian Ling watched along with him. Neither of them had any interest in thinking about what other hiding places the cobra might have.

Jiang Qiao sighed. Let them do as they please. If they don't figure it out, they probably won't be in the mood to listen to anything else she says.

Liu Zhanyu pointed to a location on the map, and Jian Ling nodded in agreement. "It's a strategic location that can be used for both offense and defense. It's a must-have for any military strategist. Old Liu, you made a good choice. This old guy might really be hiding here."

Jiang Qiao patted the two of them and said, "Alright, alright, we've finished looking at the map. Now hurry up and think about something else."

Jian Ling sat back down, as if only then realizing that she hadn't answered Jiang Qiao's question yet.

"I think being a monk would suit him quite well. If we're talking about the most secretive jobs, then it's guarding the morgue. Who goes there for no reason? Then there's the crematorium and cemetery caretaker. Those are truly secretive; ordinary people never come into contact with people like that—"

Jian Ling spoke her mind without thinking, and Liu Zhanyu nodded in agreement with every word she said. Jiang Qiao could only listen helplessly.

"Old Liu, tell me, how likely are these places?"

Liu Zhanyu smiled and said, "I think it's all possible. However, there's one condition you shouldn't forget: the funds those people received may not have been wired out by Cobra himself. He has connections, so he doesn't need to go to all that trouble."

So, I think all the places Jianling mentioned could possibly be here.

However, Jianling, have you ever thought about how old Xu Shaoqing was back then? It seems a bit unbelievable that someone so young would do something like this.

Unless he knows people in all these places, or his subordinates are the managers of these places.

Jiang Qiao, I think we can follow your two approaches. I'll arrange the hiring.

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Okay, you handle this. Keep it secret. Once we have a general direction, we won't have to worry about not having anywhere to investigate."

Liu Zhanyu smiled and said, "Actually, I personally prefer the temple. This place doesn't require any proof, and it was more convenient for Xu Shaoqing to hide there back then."

Jian Ling also spoke her mind, "I think so too. Anyway, let's just treat those places as killing two birds with one stone and let the local police investigate slowly."

"Is there anything else? Nothing, I'll go cook."

Jiang Qiao nodded. "Go cook first, and we'll continue our research later."

"Taking down Jiang Jinyu isn't just a simple act of revenge. I have a feeling their next big move is related to us, so we anticipated this."

Jian Ling stood up. "Okay, let's continue our discussion after dinner. I love this kind of discussion. The more we argue, the clearer our thinking becomes. Lao Liu, sit down, I'll stir-fry some meat for you."

Liu Zhanyu grinned. "There's still meat at home. I'm in for a treat."

Jianling remarked, "You're just lucky with food. Someone slaughtered a pig and gave you some stew, and they also brought over some meat. So, we're not short of these things at home right now."

With Jian Ling gone, Liu Zhanyu relaxed considerably. "Qiao'er, tell me your thoughts. What's that Cobra's next scheme?"

Jiang Qiao shook her head. "I can't guess. It's more practical for you to find out where the cobra is first."

In fact, Liu Zhanyu was also curious as to why Jiang Qiao hadn't thought of this before, and why she suddenly brought up the idea of ​​going to the temple today.

"I would like to bring it up, but I hadn't thought it through before, and I didn't have the chance to bring it up. Something happened every few days, and I didn't have the time to think about this person."

To be honest, I'm more anxious than any of you to catch this guy. As long as he's not eliminated, my safety will always be in danger. Let's just say, we're mortal enemies.

Also, I used to think that since other comrades were doing this, I shouldn't get involved. But now the situation has changed. If we don't catch this person quickly, things won't be clear with the old director.

Needless to say, we're not exactly in the same boat, but we're all in the same group. If something goes wrong with Lao Song, do you think we can escape unscathed?

I was forced into this situation; it was a matter of life and death, and I had no choice but to think about it.

However, I still have no basis for my opinion; I just feel that the place might be more suitable for him to do some things.

Investigating this would be a huge undertaking. Could you help narrow down the scope?

Liu Zhanyu kept looking at the map, saying, "Let me think—"

In some places, Jiang Qiao really didn't travel as far as Liu Zhanyu. Over the years, Liu Zhanyu has been doing fieldwork, so he probably knows more places than she does.

However, Liu Zhanyu looked up and said apologetically to Jiang Qiao, "Girl, I don't care about these places at all. I really don't know how many temples there are. I'll discuss this with someone later."
