After hearing what Zhou You said, Chen Captou was stunned for a moment and said in a daze: "Probably not..."
"In the past few encirclement and suppression campaigns, ambushes were set up in waters where black dragon bandits often haunted, but I never thought of this."
After Zhou You heard this, he smiled instead: "That's the best, just to catch them off guard."
"Isn't the Black Dragon Bandit's boat very fast? Once it's ashore, no matter how fast it is, it's useless."
However, Capt. Chen frowned and said, "Master Zhou, this is a good idea, but how do we know where the supply point of this black dragon bandit is?"
"Then it's up to you to check."
"There are hundreds of black dragon bandits, and they need to consume a lot of food every day. Ordinary villages and towns definitely don't have the ability to supply. They either go to other cities to supply, or they get supplies in Ningshui City."
"Impossible. There are officers and soldiers on duty at the pier in Ningshui City day and night. If the black dragon bandit ever appeared, it is absolutely impossible not to notice it." Chen Captou shook his head and objected.
"It doesn't have to be a transaction on the dock. What if someone colludes with the Black Dragon Bandits to secretly transport a large amount of food and daily necessities out of the city, and then secretly find a place to transport them to the Black Dragon Bandits?" Zhou You had an idea.
"Taining Port!" Chen Captou suddenly exclaimed.
Zhou You asked in surprise: "Which terminal is Taining Port?"
"When I heard Mr. Zhou's speculation just now, the first thing that came to my mind was Port Taining."
Chen Captou found a map of the water areas of Ningshui City and spread it on the table.
"Sir, you see, this Taining Port is located more than 20 kilometers away from Ningshui City. The surrounding terrain is unique and can almost be called a natural dock."
"A few decades ago, this was the most important dock in Ningshui City. However, as times changed, Ningshui City successively built several large ports. Naturally, Taining Port continued to decline and was completely abandoned."
"The most important thing is that the abandoned Taining Port has been rumored to be haunted in the city, and no one dares to go there."
"If someone is really secretly transporting supplies, food and other things out of the city, Taining Port is definitely the best place to do it." Chen Captou said solemnly.
He felt that his guess might be true.
I'm afraid no one would have thought that this black dragon bandit would actually come to supply supplies and food near Ningshui City. This is the most typical case of darkness under the lamp.
The most dangerous places are often the safest.
Zhou You looked carefully at the water area map on the table and fell into deep thought.
If what Chen Captou said is true, then Taining Port is indeed very likely to be used by black dragon bandits.
But before that, Zhou You thought it would be better to find the person who provided supplies to the black dragon bandits.
"Captain Chen, you can secretly investigate tomorrow to see if there is anyone in Ningshui City who always buys large amounts of supplies and food on a regular basis."
He believed that Capt. Chen could still accomplish this.
But it was just a few decades of idleness.
"No problem, I will give you a satisfactory answer tomorrow!" Chen Captou issued a military order.
In fact, once we had a goal and an investigation direction, the whole thing suddenly became clear.
Of course, this is based on the premise that the direction of speculation is correct.
If your guess is wrong, your efforts will naturally be in vain.
"Okay, I'm waiting for your news." Zhou You nodded.
...........
The next day, Ye An was taken to the vegetable market and beheaded at noon.
Since this incident, many fewer people in Ningshui City went to worship the Dragon King River God.
After Zhou You blew up the statue of the River God in public, he still brought some psychological changes to the people of Ningshui City.
It seems that ghosts and gods are not as scary as they believe.
The demon slayer broke the statue of the river god, but he still lived a good life?
While wandering around the county government offices, I finally received the news about Capt. Chen.
"Mr. Zhou, after a morning of investigation, I found a place with very suspicious behavior."
Chen Captou's face was full of excitement.
"Where?" Zhou You's eyes lit up.
"It's a restaurant in our Ningshui City." Chen Captou said solemnly.
"Take me there." Zhou You didn't hesitate.
Of course, this is not to cause trouble, but to observe some situations secretly.
Chen Captou and Zhou You, dressed in casual clothes, turned left and right on the streets of Ningshui City and soon came to a lively street.
"Sir, this is Taiming Restaurant."
Chen Captou and Zhou You hid in the entrance of an alley, pointed at a building and whispered softly.
Looking around.
This is a three-story building that looks like a very ordinary restaurant.
It is now noon, which should be the time when the flow of people is the largest, but there are not many people coming in and out of Taiming Restaurant, so it can only be said that the business is so-so.
"The business owner of Taiming Restaurant has also seen it. Although it can't be said to be bleak, it definitely has nothing to do with the word "prosperous".
"But according to what I learned from the owner of a certain winery in the city, the Taiming Restaurant receives a large amount of wine from him every two months."
"And it's not just wine. I also found out that Taiming Restaurant purchased a large amount of cured meats and various daily necessities."
Chen Captou said in a deep voice.
The Black Dragon Bandits have lived on the river for a long time and have no entertainment activities. Naturally, drinks and other things have become a large amount of consumables.
Cured meat can be stored for a long time and is not easy to spoil.
This is using the restaurant business as a cover, and buying these things will really not attract anyone's attention.
But the owner of the winery knew that the business of Taiming Restaurant was not very good, and he obviously couldn't consume so much wine. He felt a little strange in his heart, and then told Capt. Chen.
When Capt. Chen became suspicious, he followed the clues to investigate and found the Taiming Restaurant more and more suspicious.
After Zhou You listened, he nodded slightly.
It seems that there are indeed many things that are unreasonable about Taiming Restaurant.
"You wait for me here now, I'll go see what's going on here."
Zhou You ordered.
Captou Chen has been living in Ningshui City for so many years. I'm afraid not many people don't recognize him. Accompanying him to the restaurant to check the situation will only attract unnecessary attention.
"Yes, sir!" Chen Captou also knew his situation and responded.
Zhou You stopped talking and completely restrained his aura, looking like a rather tall young man.
Walk into this restaurant casually.
There was no waiter to greet me.
Obviously there are still many empty seats in the lobby, but business is not booming.
With this kind of service attitude, it's no wonder we can't do business.
However, he didn't care about traveling around and just found a corner to sit down.
After a while, a waiter came over.
"My guest, what would you like to eat?"
"What are your signature dishes here?" Zhou You asked curiously.
"The names of the dishes are all on it, can't you read it yourself?" the waiter said impatiently.
"Hey. What's your attitude?"
"I'm here to eat, but you waiter still dares to show off to me!"
