Chapter 311 Secret Investigation (Update 1)
Lian Zhou was stunned: "Is it true or not?"
Is what the master said true or false?
He asked curiously, "Didn't you go to the iron mine outside the city to investigate today? How... could it be that the iron mine is fake!?"
"It's true."
After all, it is a legitimate mine and everyone in Shiluan City knows about it, so it would be difficult to fake it.
but--
"Although the iron mine is not big, it is heavily guarded, and there are people stationed outside the mine to keep watch."
If it was an ordinary iron ore, there wouldn't be such vigilance, especially -
Chen Yanchuan picked up the teacup and took a sip, then said casually:
"It seems that many of them are martial artists."
Lian Zhou was secretly shocked.
When he saw those people in the city before, he felt that something was wrong. Now, combined with his master's words, his guess was almost certain.
"It seems that this iron mine is really a deliberate trick by someone?"
Lian Zhou thought for a moment and continued, "Today, my subordinates went out and got some news. People in the city said that the treatment at the iron mine was good, and many people wanted to get a job there, but the review there was extremely strict, and ordinary people really couldn't get in. Occasionally, there were a few strong people who went in and came back not long after. They said that although the salary was not small, the work was tiring, and the supervisors were cruel and would whip people at any time. Those who can stay are those who can endure hardships and are willing to give up."
Shen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows.
"I know how to choose people."
In this way, we were able to recruit quite a few capable and competent people.
Lian Zhou couldn't figure it out: "But... who could it be? There's nothing special about Shiluan City. Why would someone choose a place like this?"
Chen Yanchuan paused, and the image of Su Peier he had seen before suddenly appeared in front of him, and he seemed to be thinking about something.
yes.
There are so many places to go, why choose here?
"Where is Su Pei'er from?"
Lian Zhou was also confused when he heard the name for the first time. After a moment, he realized, "You mean... the Su Pei'er from the Han family?"
Chen Yanchuan nodded.
Lian Zhou thought for a while and said, "It seems that she came from the south and was sold to a brothel when she was young. Because of her outstanding appearance and her good pipa playing, she became the top prostitute in Chunfenglou."
He was confused: "Master, why did you suddenly think of asking about her?"
Shen Yanchuan turned the cup and said, “She is here too.”
Lian Zhou opened his eyes wide, quite shocked: "Really!?"
He quickly understood, and his mind was filled with thoughts, his brows knitted together: "Then why did she come here? Could it be that she knew something was wrong with Shiluan City?"
When they were investigating the Han family's case before, they had also thoroughly investigated Su Pei'er's background.
There's no reason for her to be here!
Lian Zhou asked, "Then... do you want me to go check with her again?"
Shiluan City is not big, so it is not difficult for him to find Su Pei'er's residence.
Chen Yanchuan thought for a moment, but shook his head: "No need."
Lian Zhou asked again: "When does the master plan to set off?"
There were countless eyes watching them in secret. If they stayed here for too long and didn't arrive in Changzhou, it would definitely arouse suspicion.
Chen Yanchuan said: "Tomorrow should be a sunny day, a good day to set off."
"tomorrow?"
Lian Zhou was surprised.
"You don't plan to continue investigating here?"
The situation at the iron mine was unusual. If we left now, then—
Chen Yanchuan raised his eyebrows slightly.
"Did I say I was leaving?"
