Chapter 6
Late at night. Sikong Zhaixing has left, and everyone goes back to their rooms.
When Wuqing thinks of what Chongming said during the day, his mind is filled with thoughts.
Of course, he cannot ignore the hidden meaning in Chongming's words. In Chongming's eyes, he and Jin Jiuling are both idiots, so what exactly could be their stupidity
? Assuming that Jin Jiuling is the embroidered thief, the answer is very clear.
Jin Jiuling next door is also thinking. Wuqing probably already suspects him, but he didn't expect Sikong Zhaixing to fail at first... so that he is now in a dilemma.
The owner of Wanwu Tower should be rarely seen, but Wuqing saw him this time.
Jin Jiuling secretly hates him.
The next day. Wuqing was awakened by the sound of birds outside the window. After washing up, Wuqing went out.
Jin Jiuling also appeared in front of him later. This well-maintained and luxurious head of the police looked younger than his actual age.
There are many different opinions about Jin Jiuling's origin, but the most recognized one is that his surname is "Jin". Wanfu Jinshouyuan is a famous family. Old Mrs. Jin gave birth to several capable sons, many sons and grandsons, and the grandsons gave birth to sons, all of whom are capable. Therefore, Wanfu Jinshouyuan is very wealthy.
Wuqing investigated Jin Jiuling, but Wanfu Jinshouyuan never acknowledged that Jin Jiuling was a descendant of the family, but let the rumors fly. In Wuqing's view, it was more like ignoring it because there was no harm.
After all, Jin Jiuling is indeed very famous in the underworld. A few years ago, he was recognized by everyone as the "No. 1 detective in the world". People thought that it was a good thing that such a person came from Wanfu Jinshou Garden.
Wuqing could not ignore his guess that the Xiuhua thief was Jin Jiuling, and even felt that it was the correct answer.
Jin Jiuling smiled at Wuqing, and Wuqing told him that he planned to visit Chongming again.
Maybe it was an illusion, Jin Jiuling's smile seemed to freeze.
"That kind of rude guy... If you pay attention to him, he will probably become more aggressive." Jin Jiuling's words were reasonable, and he seemed to care about Chongming's offense.
Wuqing watched his every move, still calm: "The deadline given by Palace Master Yaoyue is too tight. If he knows who the Great Thief Xiuhua is, then ask him out."
At this point, Wuqing paused, looked at Jin Jiuling, and smiled slightly: "Captain Jin, do you have any guesses about the identity of the Great Thief Xiuhua? According to what Chongming said, I actually feel that he seems to be someone you and I know. Otherwise, why would he say that we are idiots?"
This is a subtle interrogation, forcing Jin Jiuling to tell the truth. Wuqing stared at Jin Jiuling.
Jin Jiuling pretended to be in deep thought, saying that he had been thinking about it all night, and his thoughts were similar to Wuqing's, but he also had no idea.
"I can't help but feel a little guilty for suspecting someone I know because of what he said."
Wuqing said calmly, "So I only suspect the suspicious person."
If it was someone you truly trusted, why would you suspect him
? Jin Jiuling heard what he meant.
The two extreme-probing captains visited Chongming again, but they didn't see Chongming, but Sikong Zhaixing and Lu Xiaofeng.
Lu Xiaofeng held the door and smiled and greeted the two captains: "Captain Jin, Captain Wuqing, you are here today too."
He greeted the two of them very naturally and cordially, as if he had always lived here.
Jin Jiuling: "..."
Wuqing: "...Where is the owner of Chong Tower? "
Sikong Zhaixing appeared from behind with a strange look on his face: "That person said he didn't want to see you, so he left early in the morning." Wuqing raised his eyebrows slightly. Did Chongming expect them to come again? Lu Xiaofeng said on the side: "I didn't expect him to know everything." "It's just because he knows you won't give up." Sikong Zhaixing doesn't like people praising Chongming, even though Chongming is really amazing. "He told me to stay with him, and this place is his territory, so he will definitely come back." Jin Jiuling and Wuqing looked at him with strange expressions. Sikong Zhaixing's words really sounded like what the people under the Wanwu Tower would say. Sikong Zhaixing said unhappily, "Don't look at me like that." "Did he say anything else before he left?" Wuqing was a little confused. He always felt that if Chongming really didn't want to see them, he shouldn't have met them yesterday. Sikong Zhaixing pretended to be in deep thought about the other words. Chongming also said that "his subordinates should act like subordinates", which of course could not be relayed. But Chongming did leave other words, which were crucial to the two captains in front of him. "He also said that someone has paid a lot of money to buy the information about the thief Xiuhua. He has sold all the crimes he committed, the treasures he hid, and his real identity to others." Jin Jiuling's heart trembled, and he shouted in his heart that it was impossible, but he still couldn't help asking: "When did he... when did he sell it?" "..." Sikong Zhaixing was silent for a while, "Last night." Wuqing also asked: "Who did he sell it to?" Sikong Zhaixing shook his head and said: "He said you will know sooner or later." Lu Xiaofeng looked at them from the side. Although they were talking about very serious things, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help thinking: Monkey Jing looks like a very qualified subordinate. The two captains were in deep thought. Jin Jiuling's heart was pounding. He didn't want to believe it, but he didn't dare not to believe it. After all, anyone who dared to say such a thing so frankly was either a fool or really had the confidence. And based on his understanding of the deeds of Wanwu Tower... everything was just as Chongming said. Chongming had sold the fact that he was the Great Thief Xiuhua to someone else. Wuqing suddenly said, "Captain Jin, you look a little pale. Did you not get enough rest last night?" Jin Jiuling raised his eyes suddenly, knowing that Wuqing was completely suspicious of him. "A little bit." Jin Jiuling said calmly, "I was thinking about the owner of Chonglou and the Great Thief Xiuhua last night." Wuqing nodded and said nothing more. Sikong Zhaixing rolled his eyes, realizing that the atmosphere was a little subtle, and exchanged a glance with Lu Xiaofeng quietly. * The one who bought the information about the embroidery thief was none other than Yihua Palace, whom Jin Jiuling accidentally offended this time. Before Wuqing and Jin Jiuling met Chongming, Wanwulou had already received this business. On the day he met the two, Bu Zao had already completed the business.
There are two palace mistresses in Yihua Palace. The first palace mistress Yaoyue is ruthless and vindictive. On the surface, she was appeased by Wuqing, but as soon as Wuqing left, she immediately found one of the offices of Wanwulou to submit a commission.
She wanted to know the details of the Xiuhua thief, and the reward was very considerable. Captain Wuqing could never give such a price. Bu Zao did not even need to consider the gains and losses, and readily accepted the task.
The final payment was paid on the night the letter was delivered.
Palace mistress Yaoyue was shocked by the letter that suddenly appeared in the main hall of Yihua Palace. Now everyone in the palace is searching Yihua Palace, wanting to catch the person who broke into Yihua Palace, which is not within the scope of Wanwulou's after-sales service.
After all, Wanwu Tower is a place that sells gossip and intelligence, and its after-sales service does not include stabilizing the mentality of employers.
Wanwu Tower has no headquarters. Wherever the eldest disciple Chongming is, that is Wanwu Tower. The offices set up in various places are just sentinels set up through the game.
Wanwu Tower has no disciples, only the owner.
But no one in the world knows this secret, and they will never know it.
Now there is a temporary subordinate who is not legitimate.
Although the head of the main body and the disciple vest are in the same city, it is not the time to meet, so Chongming spent some time outside and then returned home.
Sikong Zhaixing, the subordinate who was not legitimate, looked at him nonchalantly and told Chongming that Wuqing and Jin Jiuling had been there. He also said that he had invited them to drink tea, eat and play chess.
The master was not at home, and the monkey claimed to be the king.
Bu Zao understood immediately that the monkey spirit was deliberately provoking Chongming.
Chongming said lightly: "It's a crime of insubordination. I think you are too idle."
Sikong Zhaixing felt a blockage in his heart: "What do you mean by insubordination!"
Lu Xiaofeng appeared from behind with a smile on his face: "He was lying to you. Captain Wuqing and his men only stood at the door for a while and left soon."
Chongming looked at Lu Xiaofeng who shouldn't be here.
Sikong Zhaixing thought that Chongming must be angry now. After all, he kept Lu Xiaofeng for so long, but the other party still had no expression. Half of the mask was shining with a cold light, and his thoughts were not comprehensible at all.
"You also want to be my subordinate?"
Chongming asked.
Sikong Zhaixing was stunned, and Lu Xiaofeng was stagnant. They felt that this short sentence was full of complaints from beginning to end.
"——I said I'm not your subordinate." Sikong Zhaixing gritted his teeth, and was very puzzled. "You want to be your subordinate every time you see someone. Do you say that you are short of people?"
Lu Xiaofeng laughed and couldn't speak.
He didn't mind what Chongming asked him at all, but it was interesting that Chongming recognized Sikong Zhaixing as his subordinate in his words.
The disciples of Wanwu Tower are not human beings, so they are indeed short of people. Bu Zao thought.
"This is my territory. Apart from guests, only my subordinates can stay here." Chong Ming said calmly, "You are not guests."
"What about friends? We can also be your friends."
Lu Xiaofeng asked him with a smile.
Hearing this, Chong Ming's expression was blank for a moment, and he was silent for a moment. He looked at Lu Xiaofeng: "I don't need friends. The reason why I didn't chase you away is because you two are famous enough in the world."
This means that if they are some unknown little people, they don't even have the qualifications to stay here.
Lu Xiaofeng blinked, vaguely grasping something, and he looked at the young man in front of him with a little surprise and curiosity.
"You want to be famous."
Chongming's eyes were dark, and his tone was stubborn: "Yes."
Sikong Zhaixing grasped the point and asked: "That is to say, you just plan to use me as a stepping stone."
Chongming looked at him strangely and smiled: "You took the initiative to ask me to follow you."
Can this be the same? Sikong Zhaixing was upset.
How come this business is like falling into a bottomless pit? He always feels that every step is like being set up.
Lu Xiaofeng said sincerely: "In my opinion, Wanwulou has become famous very quickly."
It is one thing to become famous by associating with celebrities, but Wanwulou has been around for about two years, and its ability to collect information has been recognized by Dazhi Datong, and Wuqing Constable has also visited. In Lu Xiaofeng's opinion, Wanwulou is already famous enough.
But Chongming seems a little anxious.
Previously, Wanwu Tower was hidden behind the scenes. As the owner of the tower, Chongming, including the disciples of Wanwu Tower, no one knew their details.
Master Guisun was the first person Chongming met as the owner of Wanwu Tower. From another perspective, Chongming wanted to use Master Guisun to reveal his whereabouts.
Lu Xiaofeng is very smart, but he also has the common problem of smart people, which is that he tends to think too deeply and too far. For Bu Zao, who cannot tell him frankly and takes a mysterious route, Lu Xiaofeng is the brain supplement he has been looking for.
"..." Chongming said suppressedly, "But it's not enough. Not enough."
He repeated it twice, his tone full of stubbornness, as if he was being chased by something, and his eyes revealed a hint of eagerness.
Lu Xiaofeng looked at him.
Chongming wanted to be famous so much, was he hoping someone would hear his name?
