Perfect Encounter

"Xie Gang really left, but I didn't find the identity of the spies they placed in Nanqin. I only know that there are indeed people, and information will come back in a few days. Nanqin's deployment of troops on the border, the list of brave generals, they all have it. You can find these in Xie Gang's place."

Mr. Xie snorted coldly: "It's ridiculous. I found our intelligence on the enemy's side, but the enemy's intelligence didn't exist. You're kidding me."

"I tried my best, and I can't scare the snake. I'm not Xie Gang's subordinate. Some things don't dare to inquire too much, which will arouse suspicion. You have to be careful when you go in and out. Besides, the death of the spies this time, they must have confirmed that there are thieves... "

"Didn't you already find a surrogate? You should be more careful and don't leave any clues."

"I know that. Jiang Song arranged a strict investigation in the building today. I can't do anything else during this period. But now Zong Zeqing is gone, Xie Gang is gone, and Long Teng will leave later. He received the military report from Chu Qing, and it seemed that he was going to the front line to deal with something. These people were not around, and An Ruochen had no one to rely on. Although Jiang Song and her knew each other well, they were not as kind and easy-going as Zong Zeqing. She will listen to her orders, and it is the time to strictly investigate the internal thief, so she does not dare to interfere and add to the chaos. A girl's family is isolated and helpless, and nothing can be found out. Besides, in the current situation, someone has just died, and no smart person will know. Act rashly. I guess she will wait for Xie Gang or General Long to come back to make up his mind. Before they come back, Liu Ze's end will be dealt with, and there will be no future troubles."

Mr. Xie frowned, and sighed for a while: "It's a pity, Liu Ze is much easier to use than Mrs. Xu. I really can't bear to kill him."

"This matter must be settled. I will report it to my superiors. We discussed it together, and it was a last resort. Can you find a replacement?"

"There is one."

"Who?"

"It has nothing to do with you for the time being, so let's not talk about it."

"Okay. Is that person reliable?"

"We have to observe for a while. If he is available, the loss of Liu Zezhi's death can be minimized."

"Understood." The man nodded.

Mr. Xie asked, "Where did Zong Zeqing go?"

"Leading troops to the Sixia River. He is good at water warfare, and it is said that he offered Long Teng a good plan for water warfare a while ago. Maybe he will go to deploy first."

"What about Long Teng?"

"This is not clear. I haven't heard the specific arrangement before I come out."

Mr. Xie speculated: "I have received news from Nanqin that they sent soldiers to spy on Shi Lingya's military situation, and some soldiers were arrested. Maybe Chu Qing lost his composure."

"It would be fine if we really couldn't hold our breath. If Long Daruo went to war first, it would save us a lot of trouble. However, this person is thoughtful and his actions are unpredictable. If the border is like this, he just won't do anything."

"Let's see how it goes this time. I will report clearly and try another method." Mr. Xie paused, and asked, "He still likes An Ruochen?"

"Yes. I personally teach her martial arts moves when I have time, and the two often talk alone in the room."

"Could it be a maze?"

"Probably not. I see that he really cares about An Ruochen."

"Well, that's good. You keep an eye on the movements in Ziyun Building, and An Ruochen."

The person on the other side responded. Then leave first.

Mr. Xie continued to drink tea and eat snacks in a leisurely manner. After a while, he got up, took out two red bell ornaments from the desk next to the wall in the private room, walked out of the private room, walked to the aisle window, and while there was no one around, Hang the bell on the window lattice weft decoration. Then he turned and went downstairs as if nothing had happened, paid the bill, and left Zhaofu Restaurant.

Although Zhaofu Restaurant is the contact point, Mr. Min often comes to eat and drink tea when Liu Ze is not around, just like an ordinary regular customer, so as not to arouse suspicion. And when it is necessary to make an appointment to meet, the bell is the secret signal.

Quantity is days, color is time.

Two red bells meant he would come in two days at lunch time, and blue bells meant dinner time. At that time, there were people coming and going in the restaurant, and the boss greeted the guests without attracting anyone's attention.

When Liu saw the news, if there was no problem, he would take off the bell. On the contrary, there are circumstances where we cannot meet each other. If urgent matters are needed, the bell is also used as a signal. Based on color and quantity, they know how to meet and handle.

On November 18th, Mr. Xie walked slowly. Meeting at noon, if the plan changes, he still has time to ask Mrs. Jing Yuan to cancel the action, or if the plan remains the same, he can also arrange something to ensure that Liu Ze will not go out that night. What a pity, he really didn't want to lose Liu Ze, but something went wrong, and he wasn't sure that Liu Ze would be as obedient as before. His wife was playing tricks, and Liu Ze obviously lied to him.

Whether Liu Ze and his wife caused trouble and An Ruochen caught it, or Liu Ze was forced to get rid of An Ruochen's trouble, Mr. Xie felt that these were more losses than sacrificing Liu Ze.

Just let Liu Ze and Zhao Jiahua live for two more days, he still needs some time to make arrangements to ensure that their deaths will be judged as murder by the government, and they can be tied to their daughter's case to cut off the clues for further investigation . Mr. Xie was thinking like this, he saw An Ruochen in front of him. He didn't stop and continued walking as if nothing had happened.

After An Ruochen left Liu's residence, he took a stroll around. Knowing that I'm going to come again, I'm afraid it's not easy to inquire again. But she was not reconciled, she decided to go to Jubao Casino.

The outside of Jubao Casino looks clean, like an ordinary courtyard.

The door was open, and after entering, I realized that it was quite deep inside. There were a few big men sitting in the front yard, who looked like thugs guarding the courtyard. The doors of several wing rooms were closed, and one of the half-closed rooms could be seen inside as the accountant was writing the account books, and the abacus was rattling. Going further in, you can hear noisy voices, and the thick gate can't hide the shouts of people on the first floor.

An Ruochen was stopped when he reached the gate of the hall. A burly man asked her, "Girl, are you here to find someone or to play?"

An Ruochen calmly said: "It's all. The proprietress of Zhaofu Restaurant said she would bring me to play, so she should be waiting for me inside."

The big man said: "She's not here."

So the people in this casino know Zhao Jiahua?

An Ruochen frowned: "Why isn't she here? It's clearly agreed. If you recognize her, just say she's not here."

"It's not there."

"Where is Boss Liu, they clearly said they would take me to play, is Boss Liu here?"

"Not here." The big man answered quickly, looked An Ruochen up and down, and asked, "Who are you?"

An Ruochen, but said: "I clearly said that Boss Lou and I are brothers, so you can open a private room and play with me. If you play well, I will introduce friends."

The big man frowned: "I haven't heard that there is an arrangement for today. Who are you?"

An Ruochen also frowned, and said in a domineering tone, "I'll tell you what to do! They know who I am! If they come, you tell them, it's not good to release people."

The big man was taken aback by the reprimand, before he could speak, An Ruochen turned around sharply, and walked away imposingly under the watchful eyes of several big men guarding the courtyard.

After leaving the gate, I breathed a sigh of relief, remembering that since I became the steward of Ziyun Building, I deliberately chose dark colors for my clothes, and combed my hair in an old-fashioned way. Today, she was wearing a gray jacket with a dark blue skirt, with only a wooden hairpin on her head, and no maid around her. The whole old maid and woman in charge forcibly pretended to be the eldest lady.

An Ruochen imagined it for a while, and almost got goosebumps in embarrassment, but who cares, this trip can be regarded as rewarding, if it's disgusting, it's disgusting.

An Ruochen looked at the sky, and planned to go back to Ziyun Tower and talk to Long Da before he left. Tell him about the gambling house, maybe the general will have a good idea. While thinking about it, she walked around Zhaofu Restaurant to observe more. As she was walking, she suddenly stopped. Turning around and taking a few steps back, she looked at the two bells hanging in the middle of the window lattice on the second floor.

She didn't have this bell when she saw it the day before yesterday, she was sure. According to the state of her mind full of bells, if there is, she will never forget it.

Besides, there is only this window. In other words, it is not the restaurant's own decoration.

[There is also a bell. Keep an eye on the bell, maybe you can find the key person. 】Zhao Jiahua's words rang in his ears, and An Ruochen's heart was pounding.

Bells, bells.

That's it, that's it.

Wait, if the bell is a code, then is it possible that "Mr. Xie" is actually "Xie"?

untie!

An Ruochen's mind was buzzing excitedly.

untie!

is that so?

Not Mr. Xie, not "Xie"? ! Is it "solution"? !

The "key person" that Zhao Jiahua refers to is Mr. "Xie"?

So I searched all over the city for people with the surname Xie, but I couldn't find the right number.

The general was right, he said that since it was so, it was a false name or a code name. Matchmaker Xu has traveled all over the city, and she is very familiar with every house. She does secret business in a room with only two people, and still calls each other like this, which means that Matchmaker Xu doesn't really know him.

Those who come from other places, do not have an accent, and have laid out so many downlines in ambush in the city, they must have been lurking for a long time, at least for several years.

There are too many people like this in Zhonglan City. Looking for a needle in a haystack, no progress.

But now, the clues were right in front of her eyes.

An Ruochen's heart was beating wildly, she tried her best to keep calm and walked into Zhaofu Restaurant.

Mr. Xie walked for a while and looked back. He happened to see An Ruochen entering the restaurant. He frowned, thought for a while, turned and went back.

An Ruochen went straight to the second floor. The window is at the end of the aisle on the left hand side of the stairs, and there are private rooms on both sides of the aisle. An Ruochen glanced at them and quickly counted, six rooms. She walked over, and the doors of the three private rooms were open and empty. The door of the third room was closed, and the voices of several people talking and laughing came from inside. An Ruochen knocked on the door, took a look after entering, said sorry for making a mistake, and then exited.

There is no one of similar age and stature.

A shop waiter came over to greet her and asked, "Are you looking for someone or are you eating?"

An Ruochen said: "My friend doesn't seem to be here."

While talking, she retreated to the stairs and looked around, but she didn't see any suspicious person. No one paid her any attention, and no one avoided her gaze.

Xiao Er saw that she didn't look like she was going to eat, so she walked away.
