Once, I Wanted To Be a Good Person

   Chapter 170 87. The truth of the Flower Festival (12,000 characters)

   At this time, in the conference room. Fang Ze and Bai Zhi also began to formally chat about the case.

   looked around and checked the conference room. After there was no monitoring or monitoring equipment, Fang Ze returned to Bai Zhi and sat down.

   Bai Zhi saw his action and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing?"

  Fang Ze said, "We're talking about secrets this time. I'm worried that the federal garrison will eavesdrop on them."

   Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi smiled and took out a small box, and then she said, "Don't worry. I am familiar with this. So, when I came today, I brought anti-monitoring and surveillance Noble Phantasms."

   "After I came to the conference room, I opened it."

   Fang Ze saw this and curiously took the small box and fiddled with it.

   Then he put down the small box and said to Bai Zhi, "Take out the pen and paper. Next, what I'm going to talk about is very important and very complicated. You must write it down carefully."

   Seeing that Fang Ze was so serious, Bai Zhi blinked, then opened her space folding bag, and took out the pen and paper from it.

   However, although she listened to Fang Ze's words, judging from her attitude, she was obviously not that serious.

   It is estimated that in her heart, it is just an excuse to talk about the Huachao Festival today. The real purpose is actually to remove Fang Ze's identity as a suspect so that Fang Ze's treatment can be better. So, don't take it too seriously.

  Fang Ze had a panoramic view of Bai Zhi's expression, but he didn't explain anything.

   Instead, he said slowly, "Actually. I have been busy with the festival during this time."

   Hearing his words, Bai Zhi gave him a secret look with an expression of "I believe in you".

   After all, Fang Ze has been fighting with Jiang Cheng every day during this period of time, and has been digging up the secrets of the shadow organization, so he has no time to investigate Huachaojie.

   Fang Ze saw her eyes and immediately understood what she was thinking, so he coughed and explained, "I first caught Jiang Cheng's tail, wasn't it just because I was investigating the Huachao Festival?"

   "So. During this period, I got a lot of clues about the Huachao Festival that Jiang Cheng investigated from Qianfeng, Huajian, and Qiuyuena."

   "It's just that I didn't have time to talk to you."

   Speaking of this, Fang Ze's face also became serious, and he began to slowly explain the clues of the Hua Dynasty Festival that he had obtained during this period,

   "Sir, have you heard a jingle in the Emerald City for so many years?"

   Bai Zhi asked curiously, "What's the jingle?"

  Fang Ze pondered for a moment, then said,

   "The eyes of the Zhao family, the mouth of the Qian family, the princess of the Sun family is beautiful."

   "The hands of the Li family, the legs of the Zhou family, and the movement of the Wu family are as soft as water."

   "The bones of the Zheng family are as strong as a hammer, and the son of the Wang family is as black as coal."

   Hearing Fang Ze's words, Bai Zhi thought for a moment, nodded thoughtfully, and said, "It seems... a bit of an impression."

   "It is said that this jingle is related to the eight gangs of the underground forces in the Emerald City?"

   "It seems to be the awakening ability of the bosses of these eight gangs?"

  Fang Ze nodded, and then said, "Yes. The eight families of the eight major gangs that control the underground order in Emerald City, the surnames are Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Zhou, Wu, Zheng, Wang."

   "And their ability to awaken is also related to the eyes, mouth, face, hands, legs, body, bones, and skin."

   "For example, the Axe Gang, one of the eight major gangs, their leader Zhao Laoliu, the family awakening ability is called: glue eye."

   "This awakening ability can change the surrounding environment with the eyes. When fighting, at a glance, the enemy will feel that his body is covered with glue, and if he wants to use martial arts, he will spend more than ten times the usual strength."

   "For example, the leader of the Qingfeng Gang, Master Zheng. His family's awakening ability is the [Forest of Flesh and Bone]."

   "This awakening ability can freely control the growth of bones, and then form a hard exoskeleton outside the body for defense, or manipulate bones into weapons to attack."

   Bai Zhi had only heard a little about these things, but she really wasn't very clear, so after listening to Fang Ze's words, she immediately wrote down all of them curiously.

   Fang Ze nodded slightly when he saw this, and then said all the abilities of the eight eldest families.

   After listening to Fang Ze talk about the abilities of the eight gang bosses, Bai Zhi also asked curiously, "But, does this have anything to do with the Huachao Festival?"

   Fang Ze said solemnly, "It does matter."

   He said, "Do you still remember the names of the five Holy Maidens of the Flower Festival?"

   Bai Zhi nodded and said,

   "Zhao Jingna, Qian Diemeng, Sun Nianyan, Li Jingge, Wu Xiuya." (Chapter 4)

   Fang Ze nodded, and then pointed to the surnames of the bosses of the eight major gangs recorded by Bai Zhi just now.

   Bai Zhi compared them one by one, and then said in surprise, "All their surnames come from the eight major gangs?"

   Fang Ze nodded and said,

"Yes."

   "This matter was first discovered by the Jiang family."

   "The Jiang family has been in the Emerald City all these years. It took a huge amount of manpower and material resources to investigate the Huachao Festival."

   "They didn't pay attention to this detail at first. Instead, they discovered another clue. That is, the eight gangs suddenly came to the Emerald City more than 50 years ago."

   "Afterwards, they recruited and built the Emerald City Red Light District together. And published a magazine: The Hundred Flowers of Romantic Nightlife."

   "In the same year, the first Flower Festival began to appear."

   "However, after the Huachao Festival, the Hundred Flowers List suddenly changed its name and became the Golden Rooster List." (Chapter 3)

   "The eight major gangs said yes outside, in order to avoid the name of the Flower Festival."

   "This statement is actually very reasonable. In addition, there are few clues at the beginning, and no one doubts whether there is a hidden meaning."

   "However, when the Jiang family began to investigate, there were already five saintesses and five surnames."

   "So, the Jiang family followed this clue and soon discovered the connection between the surnames of the eight major gangs and the surnames of the five saintess."

   "Then they started trying to investigate the eight gangs."

   "Results, surprising discovery."

   "The Holy Maidens of Flowers in these years, although they were randomly selected, they are all related to the eight major gangs."

   "Some of these flower saints are the children of a certain gang's gangsters, and some are the family members of a certain gang's leader."

   "Yes, I joined the eight major gangs myself."

   "The other ones are the children of merchants who have business dealings with the eight major gangs."

   "Actually, if you come here, it's not too suspicious."

   "After all, the eight major gangs have been rooted in the Emerald City for fifty years, and almost everyone in the Emerald City can have a little relationship with them."

   "However, the Jiang family used their family power to continue to scrutinize the information of these flower goddesses."

   "Although there is no problem on the bright side. However, after spending a lot of manpower and material resources to investigate, they found that these flower saints are all orphans!"

   "And, without exception, they are all eight gangs, kidnapped from the low-level urban ghettos, or adopted girls." (Chapter 27)

   "The eight major gangs have given them false identities since they were young, and they sent their subordinates to adopt them, or after they were named, they abandoned them and asked others to adopt them."

   Bai Zhi listened to Fang Ze's words, her mouth couldn't close in surprise, and she felt the chills all over her body stand up.

   After all, the Emerald City is too big. And the eight major gangs seem to be very popular. But no matter how big a gang is, in front of the official, it is a must, and a single order will crush and ban it. Therefore, in the Emerald City, it is not an important force at all.

   If it weren't for their red light districts doing so well, I guess they wouldn't even have a lot of fame.

   But the Flower Festival is the secret realm of laws that all the eastern jurisdictions are concerned about.

   One of them is like a small dust, and the other is like a bright star.

  As a result, they are the mastermind behind the Huachao Festival now?

   A speck of dust controls a huge star?

  This, why didn't Bai Zhi be shocked?

   Fang Ze smiled and nodded, "Are you surprised?"

   "I was also very surprised when I first got the news."

   Said, Fang Ze motioned her not to be dazed and continued to write down, and then continued, "After that, the Jiang family regarded the eight major gangs as a breakthrough and began to think of ways to infiltrate."

   "For this reason, they don't hesitate to arrange personnel, or cooperate with the eight major gangs to do business, etc."

   "And after nearly ten years of infiltration. They're getting close to the truth too."

   Bai Zhi couldn't help asking, "What's the truth?"

   Fang Ze said, "Remember the jingle I said just now?"

   Bai Zhi nodded, "Remember."

  Fang Ze, "Have you not noticed anything unusual between this jingle and the Holy Maiden of Flowers?"

   Bai Zhi looked at the content just recorded in doubt, and for a moment, she shook her head.

  Fang Ze pointed to "Zhou" who was the fifth jingle, and pointed to the last two of the Holy Maidens of Flowers, and reminded, "Look at the order."

   Bai Zhi suddenly said, "Empty 'week'?!"

  Fang Ze nodded, and then said with a serious face, "No, it's not that the 'week' has passed."

   "Instead, there is no week at all."

   He said, "The Jiang family went through a detailed investigation and checked the timeline. It was found. In fact, more than fifty years ago, it was not eight people who came to the Emerald City and established the eight major gangs, but seven people."

   "In the beginning, it was not the eight major gangs, but the seven major gangs."

   "Zhao, Qian, Sun, Li, Wu, Zheng, Wang."

   "After that, it's the Flower Festival."

   "After that, in the third year after the first Huachao Festival, this jingle suddenly spread in the Emerald City."

   "Soon, in the underground organization of Emerald City, a new gang force suddenly emerged: the Zhou family."

   Bai Zhi couldn't help asking, "You mean, the Zhou family is a later person? Into the event of the Huachao Festival?"

  Fang Ze shook his head and said, "The Jiang family thought so too at the beginning."

   "But, as they found out later, the secret is bigger than that."

   "Actually, there is no Zhou family in Emerald City."

   "The ancestor who built the Zhou family with one hand was not actually Zhou, but [Xiangka]."

   "Shangka?" Bai Zhi frowned and muttered the name, a little puzzled, obviously not familiar with it.

   Fang Ze said, "You must not understand."

   "I specifically checked this surname."

   "This is an ancient surname of the Miaohua ethnic minority. It only existed before the establishment of the federation, that is, the period of the Xida Kingdom."

   "After the establishment of the federation, the state of Xida was changed to the state, and all the Hua and Miao people asked to change their surnames. Therefore, the surname of Shanka was banned and changed to [Zhou]."

   "But in fact, this is a post-change surname, not the real [Zhou] surname."

   Bai Zhi was stunned for a moment, "Do you want to care so much?"

   Seeing Bai Zhi's appearance, Fang Ze said helplessly, "Sir. Solving a case is a delicate matter. All clues are hidden in the details."

   "Perhaps, you missed a detail, and you will eventually miss the truth."

   Bai Zhi was educated and stopped talking immediately.

  Fang Ze continued, "And during the Jiang family's investigation, they also discovered that this eighth gang was actually founded by seven families who secretly helped to establish it."

   "It's said to be the eight major gangs, but in fact it should be the seven major gangs, plus a puppet."

   Bai Zhi asked, "What does this mean?"

   Fang Ze said solemnly, "The Jiang family guessed that it is very likely that this is some kind of ceremony. That's why the seven major families have to complete this ceremony."

"but."

   Speaking of this, Fang Ze paused and said, "I am more inclined, this is a story of betrayal."

   he said, "Although I don't know exactly what happened to that catastrophe fifty years ago."

   "However, it is clear that many nobles, ancestors of the Awakened family benefited a lot from that disaster."

   "I even gained a lot of bloodlines and awakening abilities that can be passed down."

Speaking of which, Fang Ze pointed to the information on the paper and said, "And you see, according to the jingle and awakening ability of these eight great families. Their abilities are eyes, mouth, face, hands, legs, body, bones, skin."

  Fang Ze raised his eyes, glanced at Bai Zhi, and asked, "Do you look like a person when you put these together?"

   Bai Zhi was stunned there.

  Fang Ze continued, "So, I guess, it was probably fifty years ago. The ancestors of these eight families worked together to kill someone fifty years ago."

   "After that, they dismembered that person and got different parts from that person, thus inheriting different abilities."

   "However, because of the uneven distribution of spoils, or because of some other things. The ancestor of the Zhou family was killed by seven other people."

   "However, before dying, the ancestors of the Zhou family passed the truth of the matter to their friends or descendants."

   "So, after that friend or descendant discovered these seven gangs, they compiled the information into a jingle and circulated it in the Emerald City."

   "The purpose is to expose the truth of the year."

   "As for those they killed."

  Fang Ze was silent for a moment and said,

   "Could it be the flower god?"

   "And the Huachao Festival, is it a ceremony for the seven families to awaken the power of the flower gods and purify their own bloodlines."

   "As for the Holy Maiden of Flowers, it may be a bridge for them to gain power, or it may be a certain condition for completing the ritual."

   Bai Zhi was stunned, blinking, feeling that her little brain seemed to be completely useless.

   She moved her head with difficulty, trying to make herself understand all this. But for a moment, she still opened her mouth and asked, "So... the case has been solved?"

   "We won?"

  Fang Ze: .

  Fang Ze looked at her and said helplessly, "How can it be that simple!"

   "All this is just an inference I made after synthesizing the clues from the Jiang family and the Fuxing Society."

   "What we have to do next is to prove all of this and crack the way the seven gangs summon the Flower God!"

   Speaking of this, he may be afraid of hurting Bai Zhi's confidence, Fang Ze added,

   "However, although the case has not been solved yet, we are actually very close to the truth."

   "And", Fang Ze said to Bai Zhi, "There are four waves of forces who are concerned about the Huachao Festival."

   "We, Gu Qing, Jiang Cheng and a certain organization."

   Speaking of this, Fang Ze nodded slightly towards Bai Zhi, hinting at it.

   Bai Zhi immediately understood: Fuxing Society.

   Fang Ze said, "Because of the death of Huayangjie this time, Jiang Cheng and that organization, either actively or passively, left the Emerald City and could no longer intervene in the Huachao Festival."

   "We are equivalent to inheriting all the clues of the Jiang family and that organization, and harvesting their efforts for more than ten years."

   "Even, there is the most critical."

   "In the past ten years, the Jiang family has actually secretly controlled two flower goddesses." (Chapter 65)

"Because of the death of Huayangjie, Jiang Cheng ran very suddenly, and it was too late to transfer. In addition, the communication was cut off, and the guards could not be contacted, so we can directly take over these two flower saintess. come over."

   "Now the most important competitors have been driven away, and the key clues and key figures are all in our hands."

   "And Gu Qing has only been in Emerald City for two years, and he doesn't have such a strong force as the Jiang family. Most of them won't investigate so deeply."

   "So, as long as we fight steadily and don't waver, we will be the first to solve the case!"

  Fang Ze said so much before, Bai Zhi's head is a mess!

but!

   This sentence, she understood!

  So, she suddenly said "Wuhu" happily, "Then we are going to win?"

   Fang Ze said seriously, "Yes. As long as you don't wave, you will definitely win."

   "Next, I'll make some arrangements. You remember them all."

   With the carrot of victory hanging, Bai Zhi suddenly became serious. She picked up the pen and began to record Fang Ze's arrangements in earnest.

   At the same time, the monitoring room of the air carrier.

  The old man and the adjutant looked at Fang Ze and Bai Zhi in the picture, and after listening to their words, the two looked at each other.

  The old man asked, "Bai Zhi. Did you take the jammer, but forgot to turn it off?"

The adjutant    smirked, "It should be?"

   "Or... Did Fang Ze accidentally touch the switch when he was playing with the jammer just now?"

  Old man: .

   For a moment, seeing that the old man had been silent, the adjutant coughed and asked, "Sir, do you want to inform Gu Qing of the information we have obtained?"

  The old man didn't have any expression on his face, but the fingers of the hand behind his back kept rubbing, as if hesitating.

   And at this moment, suddenly, a member of the federal garrison ran over.

   He ran in front of the two of them, stood still, and said, "Report to your lord, Master Fanta has just arrived at the sky carrier. Excuse me, do you want to meet me?"

   Hearing the words of the team member, the movements in the old man's hands suddenly stopped.

   After a moment, he said to the adjutant, "Don't worry. Wait until Master Fanta uses his psychic ability to investigate Fang Ze."

   After he finished speaking, he looked at the member of the federal garrison, "I've invited Master Fanta."

  ————

  5000 words, and 5000 words left. It is estimated that it will be sent around 12:30.
