The painter finished the appearance of the four men in black and asked Chai Sandao: "Do they look like this?"

Chai San gave a thumbs up and praised: "Master is indeed a famous painter in Taizhou City. The portraits he painted are exactly the same as the real people I saw during the day."

Qi Ying looked at the portrait and marveled at how realistic the artist's painting was, and said: "These four men in black are about the same age, all in their twenties, and they look like martial arts practitioners."

The painter said: "According to Chai San's description, the four of them are young people in their twenties."

The painter was very happy to receive the reward of two buckets of rice, which was the reward given to him by Qi Ying for his hard work. At this time, the food in Taizhou City was more valuable than gold and silver.

Huang Dajie was originally in charge of the grain depot in Taizhou City. Since the failure of the battle outside the city, he had no intention of handling military chores. He handed over the management of the city's military grain to Qi Ying, retaining only the right to allocate citizens' rations.

Cui Qiao saw that Qi Ying was in charge of military rations and had no choice. Without Zhang Gan and Lu Yong, Huang Dajie was worried about those deputy general managers. Those deputy general managers had too little experience and could not handle these large quantities of chores. Qi Ying became

The most suitable candidate.

Qi Ying had mastered military rations, which made it much easier to handle military matters. He had a certain physical basis for hiring people to do things and rewarding soldiers. The officers, soldiers and officials also obeyed and cooperated with him to a certain extent.

After the painter left, he asked Chai San: "Have you written down the addresses of the four men in black on their citizen ID cards?"

Chai San wrote down all the answers, and then wrote the addresses of the four men in black on their citizen IDs on the slips of paper.

Qi Ying asked a clerk to show him the addresses on the note. After reading it, the clerk said: "I know these four addresses, and I also have an impression of the owner.

The first one lives in East Lane, his name is Xiaoque. He is a 23-year-old man who was born with dementia. The column for relatives and friends is empty, which means that he has no wife, no children, and no one cares about him.

The two people living in Xixiang are tourists living here from out of town. They are both young men in their twenties. The list of relatives and friends is also empty;

There is another person who lives in Nanxiang and is a bachelor. His parents died young and his relatives have moved to other places. The column for relatives and friends is also empty."

Qi Ying was shocked after hearing this. He took out the painter's portrait and asked the clerk: "Aren't they these four people?"

The clerk looked at the portrait and said with a smile: "Where can there be these four people in Taizhou City? I have been in charge of household registration for so many years and I have never seen these four people before."

Qi Ying's heart skipped a beat after hearing this. Could it be that the man Xiaohua brought in was a fake? Could it be that the real owner of the citizen's ID card is dead?

In order to prove his judgment, Qi Ying secretly ordered Ji Jin to go to Dongxiang to check Xiaoque.

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Ji Jin found Xiaoque's house in the east alley and found that no one was in the house. The furniture in the house was simple, the stove was covered with spider webs, and no one had cooked for many days.

Ji Jin discovered that the land at his house had signs of being dug up. Ji Jin dug up the land and found Xiaoque's body.

In order not to alert others, Ji Jin buried the body again.

Ji Jin went to Xixiang to check the residence of the two tourists. The two tourists were renting. When Ji Jin came to find them, the landlord said that they had not seen each other for several days and had moved away.

Ji Jin searched nearby and found the bodies of two tourists in a hidden ditch.

Ji Jin found the bachelor's body in the South Alley again. The body was pressed in the pickle jar in the house.

Qi Ying learned that the owners on the four citizen certificates had all been killed, and then she determined that the man in black brought by Xiaohua into the city was an imposter.

Qi Ying thought that the murderer chose them because he saw that these four people had no family, relatives, or friends. After they died, no one would pay attention to them, and no one would report the crime, so that they could use their citizen ID cards.

In order to find out the origins of these four spies, Qi Ying decided to find the salesman again.

Cui Qiao secretly ordered San Gu to kill these four people. San Gu hid a sharp knife in the broom, dressed like a sweeper, approached the citizens, looked for an opportunity, and robbed the citizens' ID cards.

Last time at the weaving workshop, Qi Ying and the salesman agreed that in order to prevent being followed, the salesman would take a lunch break in a dead end street whenever he was in Taizhou City these days.

If Qi Ying needs to find him, he can use this time to go to the dead end to find him. He and Wang Yuejiao went shopping together and entered the dead end at noon.

The third aunt followed the two of them. The dead end was narrow, so the third aunt didn't dare to follow and expose herself, so she had to wait at the exit of the alley. The dead end was a bit deep and winding, so the third aunt couldn't see or hear the people inside clearly.

The sound of speech.

Qi Ying saw the salesman sleeping in the dead end and happily pushed him to wake up. When the salesman saw Qi Ying coming, accompanied by the beautiful girl in red, he sat up in surprise.

Wang Yuejiao said politely: "Senior, it's you, are you feeling well?"

The salesman saw the two people who had crashed the car walking together and said happily: "I am in very good health."

Wang Yuejiao said happily: "That's good. Senior, you should take better care of your body."

The salesman smiled and said: "It's good to be young. I remember when I was young, I was also a handsome man, walking hand in hand with the girl I liked."

Wang Yuejiao covered her mouth and giggled after hearing this.

Qi Ying also smiled happily and said: "

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

The old man’s mentality is very young.”

Sangu heard Wang Yuejiao's laughter coming from the alley and thought that the two of them were making out again.

Qi Ying took out the portrait and asked the salesman: "Do you know these four people?"

The salesman looked at the portrait and replied without thinking: "Aren't these four Japanese pirates from Haimen Guard? I have seen them practicing Japanese swords."

Qi Ying finally understood that these four men in black were spies sent by Xin Wulang.

On the way back, Qi Ying wondered if there was any way to use this opportunity to make a counter-insurgency plan.

After returning home, the militia spies came to report that they saw four men in black entering the house at the door of Xiaohua's house. Not long after, Cui Qiao, the courtesan from Taizhou, also entered the house.

Qi Ying was stunned with shock and her mind was buzzing. How did Cuiqiao get into Xiaohua's house? It was obvious that four Japanese pirate men had already entered Xiaohua's house. Why did she go in at this time?

Could it be that Cuiqiao and Xiaohua are in the same group? She is a famous woman in the south of the Yangtze River. With her talent and beauty, it is not difficult to marry into a famous family. She needs money and a famous name. How can she get together with Japanese pirates?

Qi Ying's mind was still buzzing, and she felt that her mind was no longer her own, and she couldn't even stop it.

He wants to report to Huang Dajie that Cuiqiao is suspicious, but will Huang Dajie believe him? Besides, Cuiqiao and Xiaohua are sisters in a brothel. Isn't it normal for them to visit each other?

He identified Cui Qiao as a suspicious person, and in order not to alert others, he did not report it to Huang Dajie for the time being.

He said to the spy: "Keep watching the sentry to see who else she has contact with." The spy was ordered to leave.

Let us say that on Zhoushan Island, Chen Dong was released by Xin Wulang.

Xin Wulang did not continue to pursue this matter. Anyway, the food had been robbed by Qi Ying. If anyone was held responsible, there would be no other benefit except forcing Xu Weixue to rebel.

Akai remembered Cui Qiao's portrait, which was still in Xu Hai's hands, and went to Xu Hai to get the painting back.

Xu Hai was drawing formation diagrams on the beach. Chi Jing opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "What are you doing?"

Xu Hai smoothed the formation diagram and said with a smile: "Akai-kun is here? I am playing with the formation diagram."

"Drawing formation diagrams?" Akai looked at Xu Hai curiously, "Besides your uncle and nephew being good at cheating, when did you become interested in formation diagrams?"

Xu Hai said unhappily: "Akai-kun, I respect that you are the master and I am usually polite to you. Please think through your words before speaking."

Xu Hai left angrily. Chijing stepped on the remaining formation diagram and mocked: "The profiteers are still setting up the formation diagram and are not doing their job properly."
