Chapter 488 490 Missing Clues
“Madam, there are very few talismans, and most of them are traded privately between buyers and sellers. Since you came to Beijing, the Sibao Building you set up has become the place with the most frequent talisman transactions in the entire capital. Apart from the Sibao Building, talisman transactions can only be seen on the black market. However, the address of the black market is secret and difficult to enter. The identities of buyers and sellers are kept confidential. With our strength, we can’t find any useful information at all! As for the Flame Explosion Talisman, I have never heard of it!” Mingyan shook his head apologetically.
When Rong Xianxian first opened the talisman trading business, it caused a stir in certain circles. Later, seeing that Rong Xianxian was only selling basic defensive talismans, which were very simple and had little impact on their existing talisman trading channels, and that Rong Xianxian had a military background and was not easy to mess with, they simply sent someone to negotiate with her based on the price of the talismans. Apart from that, the two sides had no more contact.
Rong Xianxian has been busy taking care of children, managing business, and handling various affairs of the mercenary group. She has never paid attention to that circle. The talisman master who came to negotiate seemed to have left her an address, which was a black market address where talismans could be sold. She seemed to have casually put that address in the red-covered "True Spirit Sutra".
Rong Xianxian used her spiritual power to communicate with the sachet space, found the note, took it out, and handed it to Mingyan, "This is the address of a fixed black market. Send someone to find out first. Is this place easy to enter?"
Mingyan agreed, took the note, turned around and prepared to leave.
"By the way, can the brothers you sent to eavesdrop identify the voice of the person who mentioned the Fire Explosion Talisman in the Gong family mansion?" Rong Xianxian suddenly asked.
"It should be possible. He is very sensitive to sounds! Once he hears something, he will never forget it in a short time!" Mingyan said.
"Then notify that brother to come over immediately." Those who were monitoring the movements of the Gong family all had the sound transmission notes specially issued by Rong Xianxian to facilitate communication.
Mingyan took out another jade talisman and notified the man to come quickly. After conveying the message, Mingyan asked hesitantly, "Madam, do you want him to identify the person in the portrait? When our people were monitoring the movements of the Gong family, they deliberately avoided the cameras in order not to be discovered, so they couldn't testify at all." Moreover, if the authorities conduct a careful investigation, they will naturally find out that Mingyan and others are working for Rong Xianxian, and their identification may not be convincing.
"No, I just want to confirm whether the person who mentioned the Flame Explosion Talisman is the same person as the person in the portrait?" Rong Xianxian always felt that the staff member of the staff canteen in the portrait was just a smokescreen, and there was someone else who brought the Flame Explosion Talisman into the school and gave it to Wu Gang.
"It shouldn't be wrong, right? That person went in and out of Gong's house that day and appeared at the place where the talisman was handed over." Mingyan hesitated.
"It's hard to say. Go and make arrangements. Have him come as soon as possible."
After Mingyan left, Rong Xianxian entered the monitoring room again. Zhao Yunfeng rested his head on his head with his eyes closed, not knowing what he was thinking. When his subordinates saw Rong Xianxian coming in, they secretly pushed his arm and whispered, "Boss, that woman is back again, a beautiful young woman."
Zhao Yunfeng had just been concentrating on watching the surveillance video, trying to find some clues through the subtle changes in the characters' expressions and body language. The video was very long, with many characters appearing, and some shots were blurry, making it extremely tiring to study. He was now closing his eyes to rest and relax his tense nerves.
"What are you asking her about? We're investigating a case here. Go away if you have nothing to do and don't hang around here!" Zhao Yunfeng said impatiently with his eyes closed.
"Boss, you forgot that Dean Sun just sent someone to say hello. She is the mother of the child who was attacked." The subordinate reminded.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yunfeng immediately opened his eyes and looked at Rong Xianxian.
Rong Xianxian nodded politely and greeted her. Zhao Yunfeng pushed away his chair and stood up. The woman in front of him was young and beautiful, and looked gentle and harmless, but Zhao Yunfeng knew in his heart that this woman had just entered the capital and had offended the man from the Gong family, and had escaped unscathed. She was definitely not an easy person to deal with.
"Ms. Rong, nice to meet you!" Zhao Yunfeng said politely.
"Inspector Zhao, thank you for your hard work." Rong Xianxian replied.
After a brief greeting, the two began to discuss the case.
Zhao Yunfeng is indeed a professional investigator. By checking the surveillance video, he circled out five suspects, including the canteen staff.
Zhao Yunfeng first carefully investigated the identity information of these five people, and then sent people to summon them one by one, asking many questions to find out the suspicious points. He also sent his subordinates to find the relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues of these five people to inquire about the situation. During this process, Mingyan brought over the brother who was hiding and eavesdropping near the Gong family mansion.
Rong Xianxian knew that Zhao Yunfeng had already given her a great favor by allowing her to enter the temporary interrogation room to listen in, and it was impossible for him to let her bring anyone else into the interrogation room. But then again, that brother originally only needed to distinguish sounds, and even if the interrogation room had the best soundproofing, it could not prevent the monitoring headphones from collecting and transmitting the sounds to the user's ears.
"Ms. Rong, these five people have been ruled out as suspects for the time being. I need to reorganize my thoughts. If you have any ideas, you can tell me at any time." Zhao Yunfeng said with a fake smile. It has been a whole day and there has been no progress in the case. All the clues that he had worked so hard to find have been cut off. Zhao Yunfeng is not in a good mood.
Rong Xianxian could naturally hear the hidden meaning in Zhao Yunfeng's words, which was to ask her to leave. She wanted to stay for a while and see that this detective was really trying his best to find the truth and handling the case sincerely. Rong Xianxian was grateful to him and naturally didn't care about his hypocritical attitude.
Rong Xianxian left the monitoring room and found Mingyan and the others, "Madam, Shi Ying said that the people who were talking in there just now were not the ones who mentioned the Flame Explosion Talisman."
"Are you sure?" Rong Xianxian asked.
Quartz nodded vigorously, "I am sure."
"Have you found out the identities of the other people who entered and left the Gong family mansion that day?" Rong Xianxian asked Mingyan.
"The other few were sent by the mercenary group affiliated with the Gong family to report on their work. Most of the time, those people were active outside the safe zone and had never been close to Feilong Academy. Moreover, the time they stayed at the Gong family did not match the time when Quartz heard the information about the Flame Explosion Talisman. That sentence was definitely not said by them." Mingyan replied.
"It's really a headache. Mingyan, you continue to inquire about the news in the black market. Shiying will wait and see if Inspector Zhao will have any new discoveries?" Rong Xianxian always felt that she had missed some useful clues, which were vaguely visible but always elusive.
