The lights are like beans, a slight breeze flows into the house outside the window, and the shadows cast by the clouds on the wall are somewhat swaying.
"What is their goal?"
After the 'waiter' brought the things and left, Yunjing chewed the cold and hard steamed buns. The sweetness of wheat filling filled his mouth, and he couldn't help but ponder in his heart.
There is definitely something wrong with this inn, and the problem is huge, but is the incident of missing children in Niujiao Town related to this place?
Although the possibility is very high, Yun Jing is not sure yet. Everything depends on evidence.
If this place has nothing to do with the missing child incident, but some people with ulterior motives set up shop here, and they have done nothing evil, Yunjing is not going to pay attention to it, but if the missing child incident is directly related to them...
Continuing to observe secretly, Yun Jing believed that if it was really them who did it, no matter how deep it was hidden in front of him, there would be no way to hide it.
As the night progressed, the inn gradually became quieter, and the drizzle was still falling outside.
In Yunjing's observation during this period, in fact, the guests of this inn, or the party that runs the inn, behaved normally. Ignoring the manpower strength of the inn, at least on the surface, this place is no different from an ordinary inn.
This makes people confused. If it is a black shop, should a series of products such as Mongolian sweat medicine human meat barbecued pork buns be operated?
However, what does it mean to take a nap when you should be sleeping and to sleep when you should be sleeping...
When the time came to about ninety o'clock in the evening, people came outside the inn again.
A carriage drove slowly, with a wind lantern hanging in front of the carriage illuminating a small area around it. The driver was an honest old man, and there were two guards on both sides. There were three people sitting in the carriage, who seemed to be a family of three.
.
The man in the carriage was well-dressed, seemed to have some status, and behaved calmly. The woman was beautiful, and the clothes she wore were of high-quality fabrics. A teenage girl was as lively and active as a porcelain doll, but she was obviously a little sleepy.
'Seeing' the arrival of this group of people, a strange look flashed across Yunjing's face, and he couldn't help but mutter in his heart: Fishing law enforcement?
Yun Jing knew that group of people. The 'family of three' in the carriage was none other than Wang Shi, the head catcher of Niujiao Town. As for the woman, Yun Jing guessed it right. She should be someone from the Feng Dao Clan. He didn't know the little girl.
Know what's going on.
Could it be the illegitimate daughter of Wang Shi and that woman?
After all, as far as Yunjing knew, Wang Shi's wife was not that woman.
Then, the driver driving the carriage and the guards on the side are actually the head catchers from Niujiao Town pretending to be.
Walking at night with his family and servants, they were just like a normal wealthy family traveling at a missed time. Considering their identities, Yunjing had to suspect that Wang Shi was fishing for law enforcement.
The question is, haven’t the cases of missing children in Niujiao Town been closed and put aside? Why is there still such a case? It’s puzzling because the case was reopened after someone disappeared two days ago?
"I don't know where I learned the disguise technique. I heard that the widowers in Niujiao Town are very sophisticated and often act as undertakers. Could it be from his handiwork? At least people who are very familiar with them will not recognize Wang Shi and the others. Let's just look at them.
What tricks are you doing?" He muttered in his mind, Yun Jing continued to observe calmly.
One thing to say, Yunjing is lucky to have come here. What if Wang Shi and the others are really fishing for law enforcement to investigate the case of missing children, and when they come here they happen to find out that it was this inn that did it. Facing so many masters, the end will be worrying.
Are they being hasty? However, no, after all, Xinlin County is big or not, and it will be possible to establish a sect in the later days of tomorrow. Except for a few key places, where can there be so many masters?
Although Wang Shi is only in the middle of the day after tomorrow, he has been in the field for many years and has rich experience. He is not afraid of waiting for a small child in Xinlin County, especially when he has a capable helper...
After arriving at the inn, Wang Shi and the others went out like a normal big family. The guard came to call the door and then checked in. The process was normal and there was no emergency.
Wang Shi's family of three also lived in the upper room, right next door to Yunjing. This was decided after Wang Shi inquired about it when he checked in. In his words, it was inconvenient to have family members living next door, so he specially asked for one.
A room with no one on either side.
As for his 'servant', Wang Shi did not treat him badly and let him live in a medium-sized room.
The inn complained again about the guests arriving in the middle of the night, but since they were open to welcome guests, there was no reason to turn them away.
In the room, after settling down, Wang Shi closed the doors and windows tightly, carefully paid attention to the surroundings, and then deliberately lowered his voice and asked: "Senior sister, did you find anything?"
He was asking about the woman who acted as his 'wife'.
The woman shook her head and laughed softly: "Junior brother, there are still some discoveries, but you have been working as a catcher for many years after leaving the school and have rich experience, while I have been staying in the school and rarely moved around. I think you will find more.
Well, why don't you tell me first?"
"Senior sister praised me. Although senior sister is not a public servant, when it comes to tracking and investigation methods, who in the entire Xinlin County would not give you a thumbs up? It's not my junior brother's fault, so I asked senior sister to come and help." Wang Shixiao
road.
The woman said: "Stop flattering, tell me what you found, and then Senior Sister will see if you have missed anything."
"Thank you, senior sister, for your advice. Speaking of which, my investigative skills were taught by my senior sister. If it hadn't been for my senior sister's words and deeds, I wouldn't have the job of being a head hunter now." After briefly recalling the past, Wang Shi said with a serious face.
Getting down to business, he said: "Sister, there is something wrong with this store. The waiter, the shopkeeper who keeps accounts, and even the helpers who take care of the animals are all not ordinary people!"
"This is too strange. I can feel that I have no chance of winning against most of them alone. There are so many masters gathered in a wild inn. It is simply outrageous. I don't believe it if they say they can be beaten to death."
For Wang Shi, he has become a master in the middle and late stages of the day after tomorrow. His saying this shows that he attaches great importance to and fears this store.
His senior sister nodded and said, "What else?"
"Now I seriously suspect that the incident of missing children a few days ago is related to this place. It is unreasonable for them to get together with experts. The date of listing this store is too coincidental. It was just a month ago. It is difficult not to think
The incidents of missing children are associated with each other," Wang Shi said solemnly.
"Is there anything else?" Senior Sister Wang Shi continued to ask.
Shaking his head, Wang Shi indicated that he had not analyzed anything more for the time being. After all, he had just come here. If he was given more time, he would definitely have discovered something else.
Then his senior sister said: "Junior brother, I have also observed what you said, but you ignored one detail."
"What details?" Wang Shi asked quickly.
His senior sister said: "That's the accent of those people. You may not have noticed, but I can tell that their accent is definitely not local, and there are still some differences."
"Don't say it, it's really like this," Wang Shijing reminded her, recalling a little and raising his eyebrows.
Her senior sister shook her head and said: "In fact, regardless of the accent, with their skills, it is absolutely impossible for locals to be unknown, so it is easy to judge that they come from elsewhere, and those with no accent are the second best."
"Senior sister is indeed a senior sister..."
"Okay, don't say these useless things. At present, this store is very suspicious. If it is really as imagined, we have to be prepared to deal with it, especially since they have so many experts. In other words, we
It's actually very dangerous now!" His senior sister interrupted.
Wang Shi said solemnly: "Our intention is to lure the snake out of the hole. Now it seems that it will probably attract a big python. For now, it is best to stay put and invite experts to investigate later!"
"I'm just afraid that the other party won't give us a chance to leave," his senior sister said with twinkling eyes.
Shocked, Wang Shi felt a little regretful and said tangledly: "Senior sister, if that's true, I'm afraid it was my junior brother who harmed you."
"Junior brother, please don't say that. You are my junior brother. It is natural to help you. Moreover, we who are in the world have already ignored our life and death. Accidents can happen at any time. Don't worry about it. Besides, no matter how many people they have and how skilled they are, we can't.
It’s not made of clay, and maybe it’s not as bad as we thought, so don’t scare yourself too much.”
"I hope it's as senior sister said," Wang Shi said in a complex tone.
In order to investigate the case, he asked his senior sister to help. Unexpectedly, he seemed to be in crisis unknowingly, and Wang Shi was filled with guilt.
Ignoring Wang Shi, his senior sister looked at the little girl she brought and said, "Disciple, are you afraid?"
"Master, I'm not afraid," the little girl pursed her lips and shook her head.
Patting her little head, Senior Sister Wang Shi said: "Don't be afraid, disciple. Master is here. Since you worship me as your master, you will have to set foot in the world sooner or later. Now, you should adapt to the dangers of the world in advance."
Wang Shi didn't say anything about this. He came from the Wind Knife Sect. In fact, he started to follow his master when he was younger than this little girl. However, he has never made any big achievements. He is not even a small shrimp in the world.
, later he left the army and got a government job in Niujiao Town.
Once you enter the world, you can't help yourself. As long as you set foot in the world, you can only move forward and there is no way back, regardless of your age.
It is said that people in the world are often ruthless in their methods. They have grown up in intrigues and intrigues, accompanied by swords and swords from time to time. How can people who grew up in such an environment not be ruthless in their methods?
A person cannot stand firmly if he is not ruthless...
When Wang Shi and his senior sister were secretly thinking about this store, they didn't know that the owner of the inn had gathered several members together.
"What do you think of the new family?" Zhang Wang, the shopkeeper, knocked on the table and asked with squinted eyes.
Zhang Wang is in his forties, with a thin build. When he smiles, he gives off a friendly look, but his slightly narrowed eyes make people feel inexplicably chilly. He is obviously a ruthless character.
As the waiter who welcomes guests, that is, the 'Brother Ming' who entertains Yun Jing, he also entertained Wang Shi's 'family' before. At this time, he replied: "Boss, that family's accent is obviously local, and they are escorted by carriages.
, obviously a wealthy family, they claim their surname is Luo, but judging from our understanding of Xinlin County during this period, there does not seem to be such a matching family with the surname Luo."
"Then did you find out the purpose of their coming and going?" Zhang Wang nodded slightly and continued to ask.
Brother Ming thought for a while and said, "I asked, and they only said that they were visiting relatives. They passed by here and didn't reveal too much. They were quite cautious."
"That's normal," Zhang Wang nodded slightly.
The bald man is also here. He has been in the kitchen all the time and is not aware of what is going on outside. Only at this moment did he say: "Why, boss, have you decided to do something? Don't tell me, after a few days of silence, I feel a little itchy."
Well, if you want to do something good, you should be able to stretch your muscles.”
Smiling, Zhang Wang's eyes flickered and said: "It's a task for ten people every month. We are still short of a few this month. If we deliver it ourselves, there is no reason to let it go!"
"In this case, boss, when will we take action?" Brother Ming grinned, as if he couldn't wait, but when he heard the word "mission", a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, as if he would be miserable if he failed to complete the task.
Zhang Wang said: "Don't worry, we are open for business. Don't do anything here, otherwise it will affect your reputation. Otherwise, the business will not be able to continue and we will have to move somewhere. Let's do it tomorrow. Almost all the customers will leave early tomorrow morning."
When the time comes, we will follow up secretly. When we are far away from here, we will kill the others, clean up the traces, and take the little girl away to hand in the mission."
"Don't worry, boss. We are familiar with this matter and we won't go wrong. Having said that, that little girl is so pretty that it is a perfect task to hand in. It is very likely that one of them can equal the two of them. It is worth taking action."
The bald man said with a mouth of white teeth, his expression was a bit ferocious, and seemed to have a hint of madness.
Zhang Wang had more things to consider. He said: "It will not be good for us if the matter escalates. We have taken action many times in Xinlin County. The government has taken it seriously and is investigating. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time. It will take up to two months.
You’ll have to find another place.”
They were obviously on the run to commit crimes, and Xinlin County was just a temporary stop for them.
At this time, 'Brother Ming' was confused and said: "Boss, when will we finish doing these things?"
"Don't you understand that things are happening now? There is no end. We can only keep going like this until one day we cause trouble and die, or we are caught by the government. Sooner or later, we will die," Zhang Wang said with a smile.
But his eyes were extremely miserable.
Everyone was silent, but Baldhead said unwillingly: "Then is there no other way?"
"What can we do? Now our lives are in the hands of others. If we don't obey, we will only die faster and more miserably. And before we die, we have to taste life worse than death." Zhang Wang's pupils narrowed slightly, as if he remembered
What terrible memories.
After hearing what he said, the others fell silent...
Yunjing secretly saw and listened to all this.
As expected, Wang Shi and the others were disguised to go fishing for law enforcement. So far, it seemed quite successful. They attracted the attention of the subjects of the investigation, but they also succeeded in putting themselves in danger. There was no other way. As a head catcher, they were ordered to handle the case. There was no reason why it was not dangerous.
, I am afraid that Wang Shi has been able to be a head catcher for so many years because there are not many powerful criminals in a small place like Niujiao Town.
And this inn is actually the mastermind behind the incident of missing children!
But Yunjing heard from the conversation between Zhang Wang and the others that although they were responsible for the loss of the children, they were not the real culprits. There were still people behind who were controlling or forcing them to kidnap the children.
"Where have those children gone? Are they still alive? The crux of the question is, who needs children around ten years old? And there are so many of them, and they also need the ones with outstanding looks, which ordinary children still look down upon!"
Thoughts flashed in his mind, Yun Jing's eyes were slightly cold.
There is no doubt that all human traffickers should be cut to pieces, not to mention that when Zhang Wang and others kidnapped children, their hands were stained with blood. Such people will definitely not be let go.
Instead of attacking the crime immediately, it's not because he jumped out at the critical moment to show off and slap people in the face to gain a sense of presence, but because he was analyzing the matter in depth.
"Zhang Wang and others are not robbing children for their own sake, but to do things for others involuntarily. From this, we can probably analyze that the people who need children behind the scenes are probably not just Zhang Wang and others who are helping to abduct children.
I'm afraid there are still people working on this matter elsewhere..."
"...One more thing, where did those children go? They were probably not dead when they were kidnapped by Zhang Wang and others, and were handed over to their superiors. Where do you need a large number of teenage children? Brothels? Kill them.
Organizations? These two places are the most likely. They are trained and brainwashed since childhood, and they will become the best money trees when they grow up. Of course, in addition to brothels and killer organizations, other possibilities are not ruled out."
After analyzing it, Yunjing couldn't help but rub his eyebrows.
I just want to investigate the missing children in Niujiao Town. If there is a trafficker, I will solve it and make Niujiao Town peaceful. But now it seems that things have been settled.
The loss of children is not limited to Niujiao Town, it is also happening in other places. A huge organization or a powerful character may be involved behind this!
"So what if an organization is huge? It does shady things behind the scenes, but it can be bigger than the entire country? If the dynasty is crushed by the power of the whole country, these evil people will eventually be as insignificant as ants."
"I personally can continue the investigation and follow the clues to find out the entire criminal organization. After all, I have two rich experiences. The problem is not big. But the key is that if these guys are taken away one day later, I don't know how many families will be destroyed. There is no time to delay!"
"This is a major and important case. Once it is revealed, the whole country will be shocked. Therefore, it is best for the dynasty to take action. Zhang Wang and others are just at the bottom. As long as we catch them, we can use the all-pervasive means of Ant Tower to uncover this person in one fell swoop.
It’s not difficult to organize criminal organizations…”
Yunjing's thoughts suddenly changed, Yunjing didn't plan to wait until tomorrow when Zhang Wang and others took action to get the stolen goods together. He could just catch them now, have them interrogated by the government, and keep an eye on them secretly.
As for the evidence, I have heard and 'seen' the details of their discussions, so what evidence do I need? Moreover, Mr. Wang is here, he represents the government, so it is appropriate to hand the person over to him.
These people must be brought to justice, and their heads will be lost sooner or later. The mastermind behind them still needs to be investigated, and Zhang Wang and others cannot die yet.
It is worth mentioning that the Dali Dynasty imposed extremely severe sentences on human traffickers. Anyone caught would be decapitated, which was listed as one of the most heinous crimes.
People have a deep hatred for human traffickers. Even among the people, if a trafficker is caught and killed on the spot, the person who did it not only does not break the law, but will be rewarded by the court. This shows how unpopular the traffickers are.
"In their own words, people like Zhang Wang are involuntarily kidnapping children for someone, and the people behind the scenes are afraid that they will be implicated in an accident for people like Zhang Wang. It is very likely that Zhang Wang and the others will be caught once they show up.
You may die on the spot and cut off the clues, but in front of me, it will be difficult for you to die!"
It would be best to capture Zhang Wang and others first. It would be great if they could ask for the next clues. It doesn’t matter if they can’t ask. The dynasty has many means to pry their mouths open. Anyway, they will definitely be handed over to Uncle Wang and the others later.
I will continue to pay attention to this matter. Since it is organized and premeditated, I will fight it to the end.
Having an idea, Yunjing immediately took action.
In fact, after opening the door and walking towards the place where Zhang Wang and the others were plotting, they hadn't dispersed yet.
The place where Zhang Wang and others gathered was in a small courtyard behind the inn. It was originally the residence of the family of the innkeeper, but now it has become a place for them to discuss matters.
The rain is still falling at night, in wisps, and the night wind is slightly cold.
As I walk through the cloud scenery, no drop of rain will touch my body, and no drop of rain will touch my shoes.
The door of the small courtyard opened automatically when he came to the door. After taking a few steps forward, the door of the room where Zhang Wang and others were located also opened automatically.
The cold wind blew in, and several people immediately looked at the door. Zhang Wang suddenly stood up and narrowed his eyes and said ferociously: "Who!"
"It's been a long night of unintentional sleep. I offend you by disturbing you. I hope you'll forgive me. However, many children have been lost in Niujiao Town recently, all at your own hands. So I have a merciless request. Can you please tell me that you will take care of those children?
Where did they go?" Yunjing walked over and said calmly.
Zhang Wang and others inside the house looked at Yun Jing and narrowed their eyes slightly, with murderous intent boiling in their eyes, but Yun Jing walked in as if he didn't notice, as if he was returning to his own home.
Zhang Wang suddenly changed his smile and said: "It turns out to be this young master, I don't understand what you are talking about, but why is there such a thing as poor hospitality in our store? If so, just say that when you open your business, you should make yourself feel at home.
I will do my best to satisfy you."
In the hearts of Zhang Wang and others, Yunjing is already a dead person, but it would be best if they don't do anything at the inn. After all, they still have business to do, and once they kill Yunjing here, they will not be able to do business.
, you have to run away immediately, the gain outweighs the loss.
Yunjing had no intention of making excuses with them, and said straightforwardly: "The several children lost in Niujiao Town before were all your fault, and you were forced to listen to someone's words and rob the children. Tonight, you even targeted the new residents.
The kid from the family has decided to take action tomorrow. Do you need me to say more? Don’t tell me what evidence Gu Zuoyan said. I’m not here to argue with you when I appear in front of you. Everyone is busy, so it’s okay.
Just tell me who asked you to kidnap the children, and where those children went, and then I will hand you over to the government, and everyone will finish the matter in twos and twos, and everyone will be happy. What do you think?"
Zhang Wang put away his smile and calmly said words that made people feel chilled in his heart: "Master, why bother? Isn't it a good thing to live? You still have a lot of years left, so it's a pity to lose your life like this."
"
"Shopkeeper, this is your fault. I asked you to tell me what I wanted to know, but you pity my life. We are not talking about the same thing at all. You make me very embarrassed like this," Yun Jing said with a smile.
Zhang Wang tilted his head and said with a smile: "Are these your last words, Master?"
"People are ruthless and don't talk much. This is in line with the style of your industry, but why bother? It's pointless to use hands and feet. What I want to say is that you are already surrounded by me, so you can't just tell me what I want to know.
Me? The result is the same anyway, why not skip these meaningless processes?" Yunjing said, spreading his hands.
"Bald head, chop him to death. Be smart with your hands and feet. It's best not to make too much noise, so as not to disturb other guests. Oh, I have a headache. If someone asks about you tomorrow, you will have to make up an excuse to say that you left early." Zhang Wang
He took a step back slightly.
This guy was very cautious and didn't take action rashly. He actually let others test Yunjing first.
Not having time to fight with them, Yun Jing thought, and chopsticks flew up from the corner and pressed them between their eyebrows.
In front of Yun Jing's move, Zhang Wang and others suddenly became stiff, their eyes were horrified, and they dared not move. They were so frightened.
"Believe me, as long as I think about it, these chopsticks can easily penetrate your heads. If you don't believe it, you can try it. If you die, don't blame me for not reminding you. By the way, you may have the means to kill yourself at the end of the road.
But don’t think about it, it’s useless. In front of me, you can’t die even if you want. Don’t expect others to help. It’s useless. It’s meaningless no matter how much you come. They say you are surrounded by me. Now, can you be good?
Have you spoken?" Yunjing said with an expression on his face: "I don't want to cause trouble like this" and shook his head.
