One hundred and sixtieth chapters secretly inquire
Cheng Shi was also a little tired from walking. When he saw a tea stall on the roadside, Cheng Shi took Deng Xin and walked over and asked for two bowls of tea.
Cheng Shi sat down and explained: "Of course it does matter. He didn't run back to his own territory, which proves that he hasn't been dizzy yet.
He knew that I would send people to keep an eye on his followers, and then he came here. Why didn't he go to other places but come here?
I speculated that he had a friend here, and his friend probably also developed a congregation here, so I asked this question."
When Deng Xin heard this, he understood what Cheng Shi meant. He took a big sip of the tea that was brought to him, wiped his mouth and said with a smile.
"Your guess is not unreasonable, but we are not familiar with this place at all, and we don't know who this person is or whether he exists or not!"
Cheng Shi chuckled and said, "There will definitely be someone to take him in, otherwise, with his caution, he would have run out of the French Concession long ago.
As for who this person is, he should be a foreigner, and this person should be the most respected person like him."
After Deng Xin heard this, he shook his head and said, "I agree that this person is a foreigner, but to say that he is a respected person is pure speculation."
Hearing this, Cheng Shi smiled slightly and continued: "I am indeed guessing, but it is a reasonable guess. He came to this person for help at this time.
This person is still in the Xujiahui area, which is relatively far away, which proves that this person is not his subordinate, but his friend.
And why does Albert believe that this person can help him and will help him? It's because Albert believes in his strength.
So this person is either powerful or a respected person like him. As for why he is not a powerful person?
The person he can still trust at this time proves that the relationship between the two must be very good. What if that person is a powerful person?
He would no longer work for Ryan, and should have come to Xujiahui to develop, so this person should be like him."
Deng Xin couldn't help but be stunned after hearing Cheng Shi's analysis. After listening to it, he felt that this was not a guess, but a fact.
Deng Xin stopped asking questions and began to drink tea quietly. Cheng Shi also stopped talking and drank tea quietly.
After Cheng Shi and the two finished drinking tea, they continued to walk around in a large circle and finally found out where they were looking for.
That place was a Western-style building at No. 19 Xujiahui. The news he got was that there were many foreigners there.
There are also quite a few Chinese people. They come in on time every day, and everyone who comes and goes is uniformly dressed and has a serious look on their face.
Cheng Shi's eyes lit up when he heard this. It seemed that this was the gathering place for believers in the Xujiahui area, so the two of them hurried there.
Cheng Shi and the two arrived at No. 19 Xujiahui according to the address, and saw people coming out of the gate one after another in twos and threes.
Cheng Shi whispered to Deng Xin: "We will go there in a while. Don't say anything. Just show a sad expression."
Deng Xin nodded to express his understanding. Cheng Shi soon saw several Chinese people walking out of the gate. Deng Xin quickly stepped forward to stop them.
Cheng Shi also looked sad at this time. He described himself and Deng Xin as two frustrated brothers.
Cheng Shi said with a sad face: "I heard, this place can help people forget their worries and find their true selves?!"
One of them smiled and said: "This place really allows people to forget their worries and find their true selves!"
Cheng Shi then made up a sad story, which quickly aroused the sympathy of everyone, and then they talked about everything.
Cheng Shi quickly learned their information. These people had just joined here and were wondering whether they could join here.
They said that today's meeting has ended, and tomorrow, they will take the two of them to meet with the priest to decide whether they can join.
They looked at Deng Xin who didn't say a word and didn't pay much attention to it, because they thought that both brothers had suffered misfortune.
Therefore, they were very enthusiastic towards Cheng Shi and the two of them, and they even briefly explained the basic teachings of the church to them.
Then several people gave Cheng Shi a time to meet them here tomorrow morning and they would take them in.
After Cheng Shi and the two walked away, Deng Xin asked: "Brother Cheng, what are we doing in this church? Albert won't show up, and you won't find him if you go in?!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Of course I know, the reason why I want to sneak in is to see if there is anyone inside who can help Albert."
Deng Xin said with a sad look on her face: "We can't blatantly investigate now. It feels really uncomfortable to have our hands tied!"
When Cheng Shi heard this, he sighed in his heart. They had to keep a low profile now. Xujiahui was the most difficult place in the French Concession.
This is where the most French people gather. They must be careful when handling cases here, and they might not be careful.
They might offend someone they shouldn't offend, and most importantly, they couldn't let Albert know they were here.
Now that Albert doesn't want to leave the French Concession, he still has a chance to capture him. If he scares him away, he will have no chance!
Now that he had found the place he was looking for, Cheng Shi was no longer anxious, and then he and Deng Xin found a hotel to stay.
Cheng Shi told Deng Xin to take a good rest. If they find clues tomorrow, they may not be able to rest for a long time.
When he got up early the next day, Cheng Shi quickly performed a set of moves in front of Deng Xin. Deng Xin looked at it and nodded in praise.
"Brother Cheng, your current set of moves is very good. Next, I can give you new moves!"
Cheng Shi said with a smile: "Haha, your brother and I are okay. It seems that I am also a genius in martial arts!"
When Deng Xin saw Cheng Shi laughing, he also joked: "It's very good. I will teach you the second set of basic moves next."
When Cheng Shi heard Deng Xin's words, he didn't pay attention at all. Instead, he looked at Deng Xin who had already started to perform the second set of moves and studied seriously.
After Cheng Shi studied several times, the two of them went out to have breakfast and rushed to the place they had agreed with yesterday.
The two waited for a while before the few people from yesterday came over. They told Cheng Shi a few things that needed attention.
He led the two of them to the gate. Cheng Shi first took out two pieces of clothing and took two pairs of clothes that were all white like them.
In a dressing room, the two of them changed their clothes, and then walked into the Western-style auditorium with several others.
Cheng Shi found that there were more than two hundred people in the auditorium. On the podium opposite, there were several people wearing black clothes.
The few people waited for a while, and after seeing everyone gathered, they began to use various languages to say some of the things they said every day.
After a few people finished speaking, everyone was asked to sit down quietly and do morning lessons, and the two of them were led to a place.
A serious-looking person, after asking them for some information, easily passed their interview and successfully joined them.
Cheng Shi stayed here with them until noon, when everyone got up and left the auditorium and began to go out to eat.
While eating, Cheng Shi and the few people who led them in, after saying a few useless words, began to ask for information about the priest here.
When Cheng Shizai learned that two priests were not here today, he then asked for information about these two priests.
All three of them said that these two men were the most respected among the priests, but they did not know other information.
Cheng Shi did not continue to ask more questions, but continued to chat about other topics, because Cheng Shi was afraid that they would suspect the purpose of the two coming here!
