Chapter 140 Lai's contribution
This is a battlefield without smoke.
Jinye City Guards traveled through various areas of the city. In order not to affect the lives of the people, they quietly sneaked.
This exercise is very exciting for many people. Jinye has been a big deal for many years. Many city guards have only lived a monotonous life of patrolling and patrolling every day since they joined the army. Therefore, with this exercise, they finally found their sense of mission.
Qi Lai is one of them.
Today is his fifth year in the army, but he hasn't even caught an ordinary thief. If he can catch a 'prisoner' today, he may become a captain.
Therefore, he came to the Yunlai Inn full of fighting spirit to search.
Originally, Zhang Tongzhong did not pay attention to places such as inns when assigning tasks, because the exercise was formulated this morning. If He Jun's scouts wanted to hide, they would definitely not go to the inn to stay. Otherwise, as soon as they checked the guests who checked in today, they would easily be exposed.
However, Qi Laolai is not convinced. He always feels that everyone wants to stay in the hotel. The inn is the most convenient place to stay, and some people just like to make you figure out. The more you think that he will not go to such a place that is easy to expose his whereabouts, but he will hide there.
This means that the more dangerous the place, the safer it is.
"Lao Lai, I haven't been here for some days. What do you want to eat today?"
The shopkeeper of Yunlai Inn greeted Qi Lao Lai enthusiastically. As a businessman, the most difficult thing to offend is the city guards. If they are unhappy, they will stay in your store every day and will also drive other guests away.
Mr. Dong has been running an inn for many years and has been carefully flattering these men in Jinye City.
Qi Laolai's uniform was neat today, with a big knife tilted around his waist, with a serious expression and a serious official appearance. He said, "I'm here today for official business. Lao Dong, are there any suspicious people living in your store?"
Shopkeeper Dong laughed and said, "Lao Lai, you are really good at joking. Don't you know where I am? It has always been rules. How can there be some suspicious people? They are all innocent passers-by.
Qi Laolai said in a low voice, "What do you mean I know? What do I have to do with you? Don't mess around. Can you call Lao Lai? Accept the question honestly. Besides, they are not clear, do you know?"
Shopkeeper Dong didn't know what kind of wind this guy was blowing today. After being robbed, he had to laugh and say, "Yes, Lord Qi is right, but I have a detailed registration record here. If there is anything, it will come out as soon as it is checked."
Qi Laolai said, "Are there any guests checking in? Especially those who check in in the afternoon.
Shopkeeper Dong thought for a moment and said, "I checked in today... Yes, there are three, including one couple in the morning and the other in the afternoon."
Old Qi Lai immediately came to his senses and said, "Which room do they live in?" Take me there quickly."
Shopkeeper Dong led him upstairs to the door of a room on his right hand and said, "This is the guest officer who checked in in the afternoon. He hasn't come out since he entered."
Q Laolai patted the door hard and shouted, "Open the door, and the city guard will inspect the room."
But I called the door for a long time, but no one came to open it.
Qi Laolai asked, "Why is there no one? Didn't you say that he never went out?"
Shopkeeper Dong is also strange, "I really haven't seen him go out."
Qi Laolai did not hesitate. He kicked the door open and saw that it was empty and there was no one there.
"Where are the people?" Qi Laolai searched the house and suddenly saw that the window was not closed. He stood in front of the window and looked out and found a string of blurred footprints from the window along the eaves to a window on the right, which was separated by two rooms.
"Which room is that?"
Mr. Dong also stood at the window, looked at his head and said, "That's the room of the couple who lived in this morning."
Qi Laolai immediately noticed the situation and pulled the shopkeeper Dong out of the room and asked him to keep a close eye on the room so as not to lose anyone.
He ran to the street and found the five teams he belonged to.
"Captain, I found something new."
Qi Laolai told Wang Long, the captain of the fifth team, about the situation. Wang Long also felt that something was unusual, and immediately surrounded the Yunlai inn, and then rushed into the inn with more than a dozen people and sneaked into the room.
Wang Long listened to the door for a while and made sure that someone was talking in the room. At that moment, with a gesture, Qi Laolai took the lead in breaking through the door, and more than a dozen people quickly occupied the room.
Surrounded by two men and a woman in the room, the three were sitting around the table. They didn't know what they were plotting. They only saw that the table was covered with paper, which was either densely full of words or sketched pictures.
A man was about to tear up the paper when he saw that he was surrounded.
Lao Qi was quick-sighted and finally robbed most of the words and paintings. The three were immediately controlled by the city guard. Wang Long personally led people to search two rooms, and then brought people and their everything back to the city guard house.
Wu Yang looked at the three people kneeling in front of him and felt that they did not look like peaceful soldiers.
One of them is a man in his forties, who looks rough but is less than three feet tall. The other is a white-faced scholar in his early 20s, and the woman is a little beautiful, but she looks like a prostitute born in Fengyue.
Wu Yang looked at the paper, and the words on it were all dark codes, but the picture was a picture of the city with brocade leaves, but it was a little rough.
It seems that I accidentally caught a real fish.
With the last experience, Wu Yang knew that this time was not simple. He immediately ordered the three people to be detained separately, and then tried the woman first.
The woman knelt under the hall, looked at Wu Yang with her poor pupils, and said in a coquettish voice, "Why did you arrest the slave? The slave family is their own family.
Although Wu Yang is not a good official and is usually lustful, he also knows the priorities. He ignored the charm of the woman and said coldly, "This person? Will I have these things? To be honest, who are you? What is this?"
The woman seemed to be very scared, and her eyes were about to cry. She heard her whisper, "The slave's surname is Chen. We picked these things from the house, and we don't know what they are."
Wu Yang said, "Since it was picked up, why are you in a hurry to destroy it?"
The woman Chen said, "The officials suddenly rushed in. We were scared and thought those things were harmful. We were afraid that the officials would think we did it, so we wanted to destroy the evidence. My lord, what the slave said is true. You must make the decision for us.
Chen's words seemed to be very reasonable, but Wu Yang was more sure that there must be secrets in it.
