Chapter forty-seven, the death of the restaurant guy
"Everyone, this is a great opportunity. As long as we work together to bring Xiliang's spy to justice, those who participate in the pursuit will probably add points. When the assessment officially begins, we will take a big step forward."
Under Zhang Bo's deliberate encouragement, although some people still chose to wait and see, most of them were eager to try.
"Okay, I just listen to Mr. Zhang. We are all elites in various cities. If you hold them together, you can't even fight against a small spy of Xiliang."
"Well said, Mr. Zhang, since you have the support of the Imperial College, you will definitely be able to get first-hand news. It's better to lead the team and hunt down the spy."
The crowd was in high spirits, and Zhang Bo was naturally pushed to the command position, but he did not feel complacent about it. Instead, he pushed the crowd away, walked to Wei Yuan and Ke Qilu, and bowed slightly.
"Two, your strength is outstanding among the many candidates. If you can join us and join forces, our chances of capturing the spy will be much higher."
Wei Yuan shook his head slightly, "No interest."
Ke Qilu, who was beside him, looked at Wei Yuan, then looked at Zhang Bo, and then smiled, "I'm sorry, I have something urgent to do today, so I won't be greedy."
Hearing this answer, Zhang Bo was not angry and nodded slightly, "Everyone has his own aspirations. Since that's the case, I won't force it."
As he said this, he turned around and waved his hand, "Let's go and catch the spy!"
A group of people walked out of the gate of Yuelai Inn, and the Imperial College students who had been lurking outside the inn also followed.
After they left, Wei Yuan turned around and looked at Ke Qilu who was still drinking, "Didn't you have something urgent to do?"
Don't leave?"
"I'm in urgent need. Let me tell you, yesterday I discovered another street again. Mom, the whole street is full of food. I've only eaten half of it and it's dark. Today I have to go and finish the other half of the street."
As he said this, Ke Qilu turned around and looked at the sky outside the door, "It's still early now, and the stall probably hasn't opened. I'll go later."
Hearing this answer, Wei Yuan felt helpless, and finally chuckled, "Since it's still early, why not go and catch the Xiliang secret agent with me?"
When he said this, Ke Qilu was stunned for a moment, "Didn't you just say you were not interested?"
"Yes, I'm not interested in forming an alliance with them. Is there anything wrong with it?"
Ke Qilu was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "You are so bad, but I like it!"
"Where are we going to catch those spys?"
After drinking a pot of wine, the two left the inn and walked on the street. Ke Qilu asked in confusion.
Wei Yuan smiled slightly, "Forbidden Tiansi!"
Since it is related to the spys from Xiliang, it is naturally solved by the spy organization of the Great Hao Dynasty. The Jintiansi will definitely take action, so as long as they wait outside the Jintiansi Gate, and when they have a large number of people mobilized, it is the time when the Xiliang secret spy appears.
As soon as he arrived outside the gate of the Jintiansi, Wei Yuan found the shadows of several candidates and raised his eyebrows slightly, "This Zhang Bo is really not simple. He can even think of the moves of the Jintiansi. It seems that this son will be a counselor and a talented person in the future."
Wei Yuan and the others waited for about an hour in the roadside teahouse. Suddenly, a group of people hurried out from the Jintiansi Office.
Seeing this scene, Wei Yuan and Ke Qilu quickly followed, walking through the streets and alleys, but the final destination they arrived surprised them.
The team of people from the Jintiansi did not seem to be catching some spies, but went outside a restaurant. At this time, there were many people watching the fun around the entrance of the restaurant, and they were whispering to each other.
"Hey, isn't this Piaoxiang Restaurant? I've eaten it. The food in this restaurant is delicious. I heard that the vegetables were purchased from seven villages and towns outside the city. They are all water from their own homes, and they are fresh."
As soon as Ke Qilu saw the restaurant, he immediately spoke.
"What happened?"
Wei Yuan casually pulled a passerby and asked.
"You don't know yet, there are dead people in this restaurant."
"dead?"
Wei Yuan frowned suddenly, "Who is it?"
"A friend in the restaurant, when they were going out to purchase this morning, they found that one was missing. They thought they hadn't gotten up, so they walked first. The body was discovered by the shopkeeper of the restaurant. They were in the backyard. Not only did they die, but they were also ruined. That was so miserable."
Hearing this, Wei Yuan squinted his eyes, "The restaurant guy is dead..." Ke Qilu sighed helplessly, "Poor people, but we are also very pitiful. After running like this for a long time, we still couldn't find the spy."
"wrong!"
Wei Yuan suddenly spoke, "The Jintiansi is a secret spy from Haoguo. A restaurant clerk died. In their opinion, there should be no need to dispatch so many officers from the Jintiansi. I believe this matter is closely related to the assassination of the secret agent."
As he said this, Wei Yuan suddenly turned his head and asked, "You just said that the vegetables in the restaurant were purchased from outside the city, are you?
When did you set out?"
Ke Qilu nodded, "That's right, I heard from their friends that they leave the city every day at Mao hour, because some places are far away, even if seven people go shopping separately, they have to be close to Si hour before they can come back."
Hearing him say this, Wei Yuan continued to ask, "When is the time now?"
Ke Qilu looked up at the sky, "This should be around Chenshi."
"not good!"
Wei Yuan frowned suddenly, "Spy of Xiliang is probably already out of the city."
"How can I see it?"
Ke Qilu was stunned for a moment.
Taking a deep breath and slowly exhaled it, Wei Yuan said lightly, "Go to the city gate and talk while walking."
The two of them walked towards the city gate. Ke Qilu thought for a long time before suddenly speaking out, "What do you mean is that the spy is mixed up as a restaurant clerk and left the city?"
Wei Yuan nodded, "If I guess well, that's it."
"No."
Ke Qilu tilted his head, "The guys in this restaurant should know each other. How could they not notice that there was an extra stranger?"
"I guess it was after the six people left the city, the spy made up an excuse to hang out with the city defense. After all, they would go out to the city to purchase every day, and the city defense knew that there were seven people, so they would not care about so much."
Hearing this, Ke Qilu nodded, "It seems that something is reasonable. Since the spies have left the city, what should we do? Will we chase after them?"
Wei Yuan narrowed his eyes and said, "Look first, then talk."
The moment the two arrived at the Kyoto Gate, Zhang Bo and others had already arrived here before them. At this moment, they were asking the city guard whether the restaurant purchasing staff had left the city.
Wei Yuan was a little surprised, "First I was someone who stared at the Jintiansi, but now I can guess these things just because Jintiansi accepted the restaurant case. This Zhang Bo is really not simple."
Ke Qilu looked at Wei Yuan with a strange look on his face, "Why do I sound like I'm praising myself when you say this?"
After a while, Zhang Bo frowned, and then walked back with a little dejected look. At the moment he saw Wei Yuan, he was obviously stunned for a moment, then walked forward and said helplessly, "No need to find it. The secret agent left the city when he was out of the city, and there was no way to investigate it. It seems that this matter can only be done by the Forbidden Heavenly Department."
