She looked down at the cloth in her hand. It was black and gray, and the material felt very special, but she was not a tailor like the second cobbler, who knew all kinds of cloth well.

She looked at the second cobbler and asked directly, "What clues can this give me?"

The second leatherworker's next words surprised Lin Wu: "Two years ago, you were doing business in Ghost Street, and a man found you with a very special artifact. But before you could receive it, he was killed. Do you remember this incident?"

Lin Wu's heart skipped a beat: "How... did you know about this?"

The second leatherworker curled his lips and said, "Over the years, I have been responsible for receiving the Huo family members who might come here in Ghost Street. Everything that happens in Ghost Street is under my control. Suddenly, a member of the Huo family sneaked in here, and he was looking for you. Do you think I wouldn't notice it?"

The forest was silent.

really.

In this case, it is not surprising that the second cobbler would know.

Lin Wufang was about to ask him what he was talking about and what he was doing, but suddenly realized the key point in his words: "He sneaked in here secretly? How come you didn't know he was here?"

The second cobbler nodded calmly: "The man behind me told me that this man is a traitor, and the things he brought were stolen. He wanted to use them to change his identity and live as an ordinary person. But he knows too many secrets, so we can't leave him alive, we have to get rid of him."

Many thoughts flashed through Lin Wu's mind, and finally she just asked: "So, he was dealt with by you?"

If it was the second cobbler, then Lin Wu would understand why she couldn't find any trace of him at the beginning.

After all, with the power and manpower that Er Pijiang has in Ghost Street, it is too easy to get rid of someone quietly.

However, the second leatherworker shook his head and said, "It wasn't me. It was another group of people. They found the Huo family before me, dealt with them, and took away the artifact that may carry the secret of the Huo family. When my people went there, the scene had been cleaned up. I searched for a long time before I found this piece of cloth. It was left by that group of people by accident and was not cleaned up."

Lin Wu was stunned . The second leatherworker continued, "For the past two years, I have been looking for its origin, and it was not until last month that I discovered that it only appeared in one place."

"Where?" Lin Wu asked.

The second leatherworker hesitated, as if he was unsure whether to tell Lin Wu or not. After a while, he said, "Young Master Gu from the Gu family, one of the five surnames in Beijing, just merged a multinational group when doing business. When he held a press conference, the coat he was wearing was made of this material."

"Gu family??"

Lin Wu suddenly looked up at the other person.

The second leatherworker said confidently, "My eyes are my ruler, I won't make a mistake. Later I went to check, this kind of cloth is made of special material, and is specially used for custom-made clothes for wealthy families. And the production is very small, and only the Gu family has been using it in the past two years. So the person who dealt with the Huo family must have a relationship with the Gu family. If you want to check, start with the Gu family."

Lin Wu clutched the cloth tightly and asked, "Can't you just tell me?"

"I think so, but I don't know."

The second leatherworker said, "Just like you lost to me that year, I also lost to a young man wearing a mask more than ten years ago. But at that time I had nothing and I was betting my life. He let me go, and according to the rules of Ghost Street, I am his."

"But he didn't tell me what he needed me to do at the time. He just asked me to stay in Ghost Street and manage the power he secretly helped me develop. And there was no news for a long time, which made me wonder if he had an accident and passed away. It was not until three years ago that he found me. Usually, we only contacted each other by phone and asked me to keep an eye on Wu Pengfei for him."

Lin Wu's expression froze.

More than ten years.

The other party actually took so long to set up this game.

Her patience, perseverance and character are evident and should not be underestimated. No wonder Leng Linfeng and Er Pijiang warned her not to investigate further.

"You haven't seen him?"

"Then how did you become like this?"

“I woke up and this was it.”

“?!”

The second cobbler had anticipated Lin Wu's stunned reaction and sighed, "This man is really mysterious and unpredictable. He has all kinds of tricks. You never know when you might fall into his trap. So, it's really not suitable for you to investigate further. It will be very dangerous."

Lin Wu clenched the cloth in his hand, and finally asked: "As long as I get the artifact in the Gu family's hands, I can know the secret of this Huo family, right?"

"In theory, yes." said the second cobbler.

Lin Wu nodded, put away the cloth and said, "Okay, I understand."

The second cobbler tried to hold back, but still couldn't help but advised: "Girl, the Gu family is a century-old family, it's not that easy to mess with, you don't have to..."

"I will find a way." Lin Wu interrupted and said confidently: "One month. Teacher, just wait and see. Within one month, I will be able to get the artifact from the Gu family, and make them willingly hand it over with both hands."

The second cobbler didn't believe it, but he also knew better. Lin Wu always had a lot of ideas, and he might suddenly come up with a magical method to achieve his goal at any time.

He was silent for a moment, then sat up straight and said, "Well, I will help you again."

"What?"

"I'll give you a chance to get closer to the Gu family."

As he spoke, the second shoemaker rummaged through the things piled on the sewing machine, finally found a yellowed note, and handed it to Lin Wu.

"Eighteen years ago, I accidentally saved Mrs. Gu, and she promised me that she would fulfill one of my requests. After I accepted you, I heard that you have always been interested in physics. Coincidentally, Mrs. Gu is a famous professor in the physics field. I wanted to introduce her to you. You can learn a lot from her and fulfill your wish. Don't hang around in the ghost street and do precarious things. Living a good life is more important than anything else."

After a pause, the second cobbler continued, "But after I found out that the Gu family was related to what I was investigating, I gave up the idea. But now that you want to investigate further, this is a good opportunity to get close to the Gu family."

Lin Wu was stunned.

Mrs. Gu...

Physics professor...

Why does this sound so familiar? ? Lin Wu couldn't help but ask: "What is the name of this Mrs. Gu?"

The second cobbler said, "Chi Yangzhi. Coincidentally, she is also a physics professor at Beijing University."

Lin Wu's ears buzzed and he could hardly hear what the second cobbler said.

Chi Yangzhi... Professor Chi, whom she had always admired, was actually a member of the Gu family? !

Not long ago, she found out that the Gu family had secretly helped the Lin family.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing that Lin Wu didn't respond, the second shoemaker asked her puzzledly.

Lin Wu closed his eyes, suppressed the emotions surging in his heart, and said, "I understand. This Madam Gu... I will make good use of her."
