Chapter 30

Bai Shier, who has been having a headache these days, has been finding the traces of a secret spy in the East Factory. He never expected that the person he had been looking for had been living in Dongsheng Inn and had been wandering under his nose for a whole day.

After being surprised, he immediately figured it out that his thinking had a misunderstanding and did not lock his search radar to the appropriate channel.

As a clerk at Dongsheng Inn, Wang Jinbao is undoubtedly the most suitable candidate for the customer who comes to stay in the hotel as a linker. It’s ridiculous that he has been trying to find excuses to sneak out of Dongsheng Inn and try his luck in the town these days.

Bai Shier thought to himself, and a little bit of self-blame appeared on his face.

But immediately, he felt a little strange in his heart. If He Er was really the spy who came to Dongchang to connect with Wang Jinbao, why would he deliberately ask Sun Ji for his situation so openly? Aren't he afraid that I am really the murderer who killed Wang Jinbao?

"The people from the East Factory shouldn't be so stupid, right?" Thinking of Wang Jinbao's decisiveness and determination that day, and the unsightly disguised disguise performance, Bai Shier didn't believe that He Er would be so stupid. If he ruled out this impossible option, then there was only the last possibility left-the other party did it on purpose.

"Ha, he is trying to alert the snake, and he wants me to jump out first." Bai Shier squinted his eyes and thought, but the broom in his hand kept stopping, still cleaning the inn door at the normal rhythm. From time to time, the conversation between Sun Ji and He Er came to the inn lobby.

...

Bai Shier paid attention to the movements in the lobby. He Er in the room was drinking and chatting with Sun Ji, while listening to the sound of brooms outside. He did not pay much attention to the situation about Bai Shier that Sun Ji said.

Because he knew very well that even if Bai Shier had a problem with his identity, he could not see it from these superficial things. No one would be so stupid that he would reveal his feelings at the beginning. Even if the other party was a young man, let alone, as long as Bai Shier had a problem, he would not be a young man at all. Although Wang Jinbao has been doing a miserable life in recent years, He Er knew exactly what his ability was.

The frequency of broom sweeping the floor was heard in his ears. He Er couldn't help but frown. He didn't know if Bai Shier hadn't heard the chat between him and Sun Ji, or if the other party heard it, but he covered it up very well. After all, in order to be realistic enough, before he and Sun Ji talked to Bai Shier, they were criticizing those powerful Shanxi merchants, and their voices were as low as possible. Under the cover of the sound of broom, if Bai Shier didn't have enough ear power, they might not be able to hear clearly.

Thinking of this, He Er felt a little embarrassed.

"A good person is bullied, and a good horse is ridden." The reason is that He Er is middle-aged and has been lingering in a terrifying institution like Dongchang. Therefore, although the lessons of Wang Jinbao's disappearance are right in front of him, He Er gritted his teeth and chose the most effective and dangerous method to test Bai Shier, wanting to find out whether the other party was the real culprit behind Wang Jinbao's disappearance.

Before coming to Sun Ji with a wine pot to chat, he had planned everything well.

In his imagination, Bai Shier had only three ways to deal with his plan to alert the enemy.

First, he was panicked because his identity was discovered, and he was worried that he would be retaliated by Dongchang again, so he fled in a hurry tonight. This is undoubtedly the situation He Er hopes to see most, because if Bai Shier did this, it means that he was unable to fight Dongchang at all, and he was already feeling guilty. At that time, as long as he took Jiang Ming to block it, he could capture him in one fell swoop and make great contributions.

The second is to take a risk and come to kill people to silence them tonight, eliminating the hidden dangers that would expose him and Jiang Ming, the two who would expose his identity. This is also the reason why He Er made a long decision to finally make this decision, because if Bai Shier dared to do this, he would definitely have absolute confidence to solve him and Jiang Ming in one fell swoop. On the other hand, although he was two to one, he knew in his heart that he had not fought with people for many years, and Jiang Ming was a young man with little ability. Before he really fought, he was really not sure that he could have a high winning rate.

The third one is what He Er doesn't want to see the most, that is, Bai Shier saw that he was deliberately bluffing, alerting the snake, and choosing to hold on to the ground and respond to all changes. If Bai Shier really responded like this, he was really not sure whether the other party did it on purpose or taking it seriously.

The sound of sweeping the floor outside the door gradually calmed down. He Er knew that Bai Shier should have been cleaned up and was about to return to the inn and close the door and board. He pretended to look up inadvertently and saw Bai Shier who could already see the figure, as if he could cross the door at any time. He Er gritted his teeth and decided to give it up.

"Hey, little brother, little brother." He Er raised his hand and waved to Bai Shier outside the door, "Come on, I'm talking about you with your shopkeeper. Come and have a drink with me and your shopkeeper."

"Hey, Brother He, he is a little baby, how can he know how to appreciate such good wine?" Sun Ji, who looked drunk, waved his hand, and stopped him as if he was reluctant to leave, "Twelve, Twelve, Twelve, don't listen to Shopkeeper He, you are too young, you'd better wait until you grow up two years before drinking."

"Hey, Brother Sun, you're wrong," He Er didn't expect that Sun Ji would jump out and ruin his own affairs. He quickly spoke up unhappily, "I heard you just now that the second brother is about to be fifteen this year. In the countryside, he is about to be able to marry and have children. It's not too young. Look, you are obviously afraid that you will drink less when the second brother comes." He Er, who "exposures" Sun Ji's lies, stood up and waved to Bai Shier generously and said, "Little brother, don't listen to your shopkeeper, come and have a drink with us for two glasses. I, He, can still afford this little wine."

"Shopkeeper He, this is not good." Bai Shier, who knew He Er was planning something, looked at him with a embarrassed look, and glanced at Sun Ji on the side from time to time. The meaning was obvious: Sun Ji is the inn shopkeeper, and you, a guest, left after two days. Such a young man, can't afford to offend the shopkeeper.

Seeing Bai Shier's appearance, He Er couldn't help but feel secretly hated that Sun Ji would really cause trouble for himself. But no matter how much he hated Sun Ji in his heart, He Er could not slap him a few times now. Compared to venting anger, what is more important now is how to ensure that his snake-killing stick can effectively hit Bai Shier, the snake hidden in the deep grass, which makes the other party start to be aware and move.

In He Er's view, who felt that time was tight and full of dangers, even if the other party would bite him fiercely, it would be tens of thousands of times stronger than before, hiding and hiding.

"You little brother, you are not a big man, and you are quite thoughtful." He Er thought quickly, and immediately thought of a way to deal with it, and deliberately laughed and scolded, "But you think Brother Sun is too stingy, it's just a few glasses of water and wine. He is just drunk at this time, so his words are a bit absurd. When he wakes up, can he really drive you out of the inn because of these glasses of wine?"

As He Er said that, he walked to Bai Shier a few steps, pulled his hand over and pulled him towards the table, as if very enthusiastic.

But if you pay close attention to He Er's hand, you will be surprised to find that his ring finger and little finger were slightly raised, and only his index finger and middle finger were buckled on Bai Shier's wrist. As long as he bended slightly, he could immediately hold Bai Shier's pulse door.

"Then, then I'll just drink one glass." It seemed that I could not resist He Er's enthusiasm, or maybe I was curious about the smell of the wine. Although Bai Shier looked a little embarrassed, his body was pulled to the table very smoothly by He Er. Looking at the wine glass on the table, he subconsciously licked his lips, and said to He Er with a bit of embarrassment and a trace of uncoverable expectations on his face.

"Okay, I'll drink one, just a drink." He Er seemed to be helpless when Bai Shier was too cautious. He let go of his hand, took the wine glass in front of Sun Ji, and poured him a full glass, "Since you only drink one, try to do more."

"Hey, you guy, thank you Shopkeeper He for yourselves." Seeing that Bai Shier's attention seemed to be attracted by the wine in front of him, Sun Ji couldn't help but smile and scold him.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper He." Bai Shier thanked quickly, then looked at Sun Ji, his face full of expectations, "Then, I'll drink it."

Sun Ji didn't say anything, but just raised his head and signaled him to drink quickly.

"Puff, cough cough." With Sun Ji's acquiescence, Bai Shier carefully picked up the wine glass, then imitated Sun Ji's usual drinks and drank it in his mouth as soon as he raised his neck, but immediately, the wine poured into his mouth was sprayed out at a faster speed. What followed was Bai Shier's coughing.

"Hahaha." Looking at Bai Shier's somewhat embarrassed look, Sun Ji was immediately amused and laughed, "How about it, boy, is the wine good?"

"Cough cough," he coughed twice again, and Bai Shier couldn't help but open his mouth wide, sticking out his tongue, and constantly fanning his hands, "So spicy, so spicy."

"Ha, it's strange if you drink it this way, it's not spicy." He Er laughed the same way and shook his head gently, "Do you think you are an old alcoholic like your shopkeeper? You dare to be bored in one go."

"I told you a long time ago that he is still a child. It's too early to drink now. You don't believe it. Look, it's time to waste this glass of good wine, but it's still sprayed everywhere, making us have no choice but to drink." After laughing, Sun Ji said to He Er again dissatisfied.

"Yes, I'm wrong, brother," He Er hurriedly begged, "It's already late today. So, tomorrow, tomorrow I will definitely buy another jar of good wine to apologize to Brother Sun. What do you think about it?"

"Haha, then for your good wine, I'm waiting for your good wine?" Sun Ji's face suddenly burst into joy when he heard that someone would invite him to drink tomorrow.

"It must be." He Er stood up, "It's getting late. I think Twelve seems to be cleaning up, so I won't bother you to close."

"Well," Sun Ji nodded and ordered Bai Shier, "Twelve, send Manager He back to the room."

"No, no, no," He Er waved his hand quickly, "You should do your own things. I'm not drunk enough to even walk."

...

He Er, who was talking and laughing, turned around and the smile on his face disappeared immediately, and he walked towards the guest room with his head on his back.

If He Er was still cleaning outside, he was still not sure whether the other party had not heard it or deliberately pretended not to hear it, He Er could have been sure at this time. When Bai Shier was sweeping the floor outside, he must have known that he was asking Sun Ji about his situation.

But what made He Er feel a little discouraged was that not only did this not make him sure that Bai Shier was the murderer behind the scenes, but instead further cleared the other party's suspicion.

Because Bai Shier's performance just now seems to be very consistent with the image Sun Ji described to him. He is a beggar, and is more mature than children of the same age. He knows how to observe words and expressions, is a little clever, but he has not lost his childishness after all. He will be full of yearning for the adult world like ordinary peers.

The most important thing is that when he grasps the other person's wrist and may be able to hold the other person's pulse at any time, the other person's behavior is really different from a martial artist who understands martial arts. The expression on his face is very consistent with the appearance of a young man who longs to drink but is afraid of causing displeasure to his elders. He Er really finds it hard for him to believe that the other person will be a spy with high martial arts skills and cautiousness.

The only thing that made He Er still have a little doubt was how Bai Shier could not feel his mood when he heard him talking to Sun Ji about him, and continued to clean the broom without pause.

But thinking about what Sun Ji told him before that Bai Shier might have become a beggar after being in trouble, he also felt that Bai Shier could be considered acceptable for such behavior.

A rich child who has no worries about food and clothing suddenly becomes a helpless little beggar who is hungry and cold, and his mind will eventually grow much.

"But, if Bai Shier has nothing to do with Wang Jinbao's disappearance, then where should I start investigating this matter next?" Seeing that he could almost basically rule out the suspicion of Bai Shier, He Er couldn't help but start to have a headache again.

He can stay in this kiln town for at most three or four days. After the cloth merchants from the south left one after another, he must leave, otherwise he will inevitably attract the attention of the person hiding in the dark. But if he really leaves like this, and when he returns to Xin'an County, report the matter layer by layer, and then sends a special person from the above to investigate, he doesn't know how much time it will be wasted. At that time, he will not find any clues. Even if the murderer is still in the kiln town, it may be possible to find any clues.

Even so, he and the strongholds in Xin'an County would not be punished too much, and at most they would just be scolding. However, Dongchang has been declining for so long. Now that the spies of Dongchang have disappeared, whether they are alive or dead, and who is behind them can't find any clues. If they spread, Dongchang will be even more despised in the future.

There is no end to the eggs under the collapse of the nest.

Therefore, even if he wants to ensure that he will not suddenly disappear like Wang Jinbao in the future and have no idea of ​​life and death, He Er secretly made up his mind to devote twelve points of energy to find the murderer behind the scenes before leaving and make him pay the price of bleeding.
