Half River Autumn Moon and River Spring [Rat and Cat]

Chapter 101 Chess High 1 Move

Bai Yutang was resting with his eyes closed, when he suddenly heard two slight movements of the window, he opened his eyes with a thought, and it was indeed Zhan Zhao and Yan Bei who had returned.

"Cat, what, what did you hear?"

Before Zhan Zhao could reply, Yan Bei couldn't help but interjected: "Young master, let me tell you, this yamen is too evil, Mr. Li, and that Zheng Butou all have problems, I really can't think of it. This yamen, which seems to be reserved for everyone in the daytime, is full of evil spirits in the dark. If our little cat master deduced something wrong based on their few detailed actions, we might send that Mr. Ye It's in the jaws of a tiger!"

Bai Yutang looked at Zhan Zhao as if seeking proof, and saw Zhan Zhao nodding while touching his chin. Bai Yutang asked curiously, "What did you hear?"

Zhan Zhao hadn't moved yet, Yan Bei blocked him and said, "Master Cat, please rest first, I'll repeat what we heard just now to the young master."

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Then there will be Brother Laoyan Bei."

So in the middle of the night, Yan Bei vividly and perfectly reproduced to Bai Yutang everything they heard just now when they "squat in a corner".

After listening to Bai Yutang, he was also very confused: "It seems that this small yamen is not easy, especially that Mr. Li, the city is very deep, so we have to guard against it."

"That's right, and he actually already knows our identities."

Zhan Zhao said: "According to the meaning of Master Li's words, it should be that someone told him that we will come here to investigate, but our coming to Linzhou is very secret, only Lord Bao and Mr. Gongsun know about it in Kaifeng Mansion, they can't Leaked our whereabouts; Mr. Li didn't know Brother Yanbei, and thought that Brother Yanbei was also from Kaifeng Mansion. If this is the case, it means that this matter must not have flowed out from the Yelan Gang; before I set off, I asked Mr. Bao to ask the emperor There are not many people who have access to this secret decree, but nine times out of ten, some of them are insiders of this matter, so they leaked the news in advance."

Bai Yutang frowned and said, "You mean, someone from the court got involved in this matter?"

Zhan Zhao nodded with certainty: "That's right."

"Who will it be?"

Zhan Zhao rubbed his chin and thought for a while: "This matter involves a lot, so don't jump to conclusions lightly. I'll go back and ask Mr. Bao for instructions after I've dealt with this matter."

Yan Bei, who had been listening attentively to the side, couldn't help sighing: "I thought Mr. Li was smart enough to deduce our identities, but I didn't expect you, Mr. Cat, to infer from his words, and instead To defeat him in the army, I have to say, the game is superior!"

Zhan Zhao hurriedly said: "Brother Yan Bei is absurd, this Master Li is indeed a smart person, I did underestimate the enemy before, not to mention there are still many things in his words that I can't figure out, we are also very smart now. passive."

Yan Bei looked at Zhan Zhao with a look like, brother, you are too humble.

Seeing that Zhan Zhao kept touching his chin, Bai Yutang knew that Zhan Zhao must have a lot of thoughts, so he asked, "Cat, what else do you find?"

Seeing Bai Yutang's question, Zhan Zhao simply asked the two of them to sit down together, and said, "It's so late, are you sleepy?"

The two shook their heads together.

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "Very good, then I'll analyze it for you first, don't fall asleep!"

The two nodded together.

"First, Mr. Li is very aware of Mr. Ye's injury, and even knows that it is extremely difficult to heal, or that there is no cure at all. I am afraid that Mr. Ye's injury has something to do with him. At least he should be very clear about how Mr. Ye was lost. and he mentioned 'that guy' at the end, saying that even if that guy turned him into a monster, as long as he could save Ye Gongzi, he would not hesitate. I am very concerned about who 'that guy' is talking about , and how can it turn him into a monster."

Yan Bei said: "Could this be just a way of saying that Mr. Li is anxious about Mr. Ye's illness? It's like we also beg God to open our eyes when we are anxious? In fact, it is all a superstitious statement?"

Zhan Zhao shook his head and said, "Before I changed my job, I might not be so entangled in this passage, but do you remember what we encountered on the Luojiang River? When it comes to the word monster, you will think what?"

Bai Yutang paused, and suddenly remembered the thing that quietly appeared behind him in the dark and treacherous water.

Thinking of this, the temperature of the whole body seemed to drop suddenly, and the chill climbed up, piercing through the bones.

He tentatively asked: "You mean, those... monsters in the water that ambushed our iron-clad warship?"

"Exactly, do you still remember the monster with a human body and a fish tail that we saw in the empty island back then? At that time, Xiuxiu's sister-in-law said that it was probably a failure of artificial transformation, and the reformer's skills were very superb. Just imagine , So many years have passed, what if he really succeeded in transforming it? Also, do you remember that when we went to Oshima, the fourth brother said that he saw a figure, but when he chased him to see it, he found that it was a line We didn’t think about the serpent’s tail at the time, thinking it was really just a snake, but now that we think about it, what if it’s not a snake, but a monster with a human body and a snake tail?”

The cold wind was blowing outside the house, the moonlight was cold, as if covered with a thin layer of frost, and the lights were not lit inside the house, which undoubtedly made Zhan Zhao's words seem more permeating.

Yan Bei moved the stool forward, and said as close as possible to the two of them, "Master Cat, what you said made me break out in a cold sweat."

"Mao'er, according to what you said, is the 'that guy' in Li Da's mouth a person from the Wuhe sect? Could it be that the Wuhe sect is the one who feeds those monsters?"

Zhan Zhao praised: "Not bad, Mouse, you can focus on the key points!"

Yan Bei stood up and said, "Wait a minute! I'll go grab a quilt first!" After finishing speaking, he immediately ran to the bed and wrapped himself in a quilt, only showing his head, waiting for Zhan Zhao to continue talking.

"Remember those corpses we found in the underground palace of Wuhe Sect in Ojima?"

Bai Yutang nodded: "I remember, they were all villagers from Weidao, and they were sacrificed in the corpse cave of the underground palace."

"Well, that's right, do you remember what those corpses looked like?"

Bai Yutang frowned: "The corpses have long since dried up, and they were all mutilated and cut up in front of them."

"Okay. At that time, we thought that Wuhe Sect sacrificed living people and slaughtered living beings. But what if these people are not sacrifices, but the failures of their experiments?"

Both Bai Yutang and Yan Bei opened their eyes wide, looking at Zhan Zhao in disbelief.

Zhan Zhao continued: "Think about Mr. Ye's injury, isn't it similar to those corpses whose backs were hollowed out in the corpse cave?"

"There are also corpses that have been amputated at the waist, what do you think of?"

Yan Bei broke into a cold sweat and said, "Master Cat, you, your hypothesis is too scary! It's a genius to deduce it from just a few words!"

Zhan Zhao coughed and said, "Okay, these are just speculations, and there is no evidence to prove that our thinking is correct. Let's let it go for now and analyze what they said later."

The two nodded together again, Yan Bei actually wanted to say that this was not our idea, such a beautiful reasoning was deduced by you alone, Mr. Cat!In order to take care of our emotions, it is really considerate to say that everyone thinks, no wonder the master is full of praise for you every day!And even the little young master who doesn't understand the warmth and coldness of human relationships has blossomed for you!

"Let's talk about the second point. The first thing Zheng Zheng said to Mr. Li when he came to Ye Hong's room was 'Don't forget your current identity'. I think this sentence is very strange. Why did he specially remind him Current identity? In addition, since Boss Zheng came to Ye Gongzi's room to kill people, why did Mr. Li make him give up this plan with a few simple words? Why did they think that even if Ye Gongzi recovered his memory, there would be no Do people believe what he says?"

The whole room fell into silence, and after a while, Yan Bei suddenly said: "I thought of it! Little Cat, if the deduction just now is correct, then does the identities mentioned by Zheng Butou mean that they joined Wuhe□ □?! And Ye Gongzi was unwilling to join □□ at that time, which led to being chased and fell off the cliff and lost his memory? They thought that Ye Gongzi fell off the cliff and died, but they didn't expect that Ye Gongzi didn't die, so Zheng Butou was afraid that Ye Gongzi would shake them out Why do you want to kill someone? He started to think that Mr. Li was reluctant to kill Mr. Ye, so he reminded him not to forget his current identity?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Brother Yan Bei has learned to draw inferences from one example so quickly, it's amazing!"

Yan Bei said: "This is all thanks to Master Kitty, who guided you every step of the way!"

"However, there is no evidence for these inferences, so it is not the truth of the facts, it can only be used as a guess."

Bai Yutang said: "Indeed, even according to what Yan Bei said, there are still many things that cannot be explained."

"Huh? Is it?"

Zhan Zhao nodded and said, "In their conversation, there were three unpredictable key figures. The first one is the 'guy' who can turn people into monsters in Li Da's mouth; the second one is It was he who said that it doesn't matter if you kill me, but it will destroy the "that lord" in that lord's plan; and the third key person is when Master Li persuaded Zheng Butou to give up killing people, Zheng Butou said at the time "You may have done more than your master", who will this master refer to?"

Yan Bei thought for a while and said, "Could it be that they are not the same person?"

According to Yan Bei's deduction, Mr. Li and Zheng Butou have joined the gangster, so the "guy" who can turn people into monsters must refer to the gangster; and the plan that Zheng Butou dare not destroy must be because It belongs to the plan of the last devil, so that lord is also referring to the devil; as for the master in his mouth, what kind of master can a county magistrate have? Naturally, someone becomes his master after he joins the **** , and this master is the devil of the **** or something.

"No, if 'that guy' and 'that lord' refer to the same person, then 'master' must refer to someone else, because Catcher Zheng seems to disdain this 'master' very much, and Mr. Li also completely changed his attitude when Zheng Butou mentioned this "master", and even warned Zheng Butou not to mention this person again; if he was not allowed to mention it, why did he mention it twice before? Therefore, I'm sure the master they're talking about is not the same person as before!"

"But I deliberately used the two terms 'that guy' and 'that lord'. Thinking of Master Li's tone at the time, I even doubted that 'that guy' and 'that lord' did not refer to the same person, that is to say , very likely, they are talking about three people!"

"It makes sense!" Yan Bei shouted, and fearing that the sound would be too loud, he quickly wrapped up some of his own quilts.

"Master Cat, your analytical ability is beyond my reach! I'm so impressed!"

Bai Yutang patted Yan Bei comfortingly, then looked at Zhan Zhao: "Cat, what should we do next?"

Zhan Zhao smiled and said, "Since they are so afraid of Mr. Ye recovering his memory, then we will try our best to help Mr. Ye recover his memory. I want to see how they think no one will believe Mr. Ye's truth."

Yan Bei heard the words and sighed: "It's a pity that Mr. Gongsun is not here, otherwise Mr. Ye's illness may have a cure. The three of us don't know medical skills. How can we help Mr. Ye recover his memory?"

"Even if Mr. Ye can't really restore his memory, I will definitely let them show their feet! The case in Mojiao County has far-reaching implications and deep entanglements. I want to take care of those black hands who hide behind the scenes and pretend to be in control of everything." Find them all, and give justice to the innocent victims!"

……

In the middle of the night, Yan Bei was tossing and turning on the bed. Seeing that Zhan Zhao's breathing had become even, Bai Yutang knew that the cat would fall asleep after spending too much time thinking, so he turned his head and asked softly, "Yan Bei, can not fall asleep?"

Hearing this, Yan Bei hurriedly said: "Young Master, you haven't fallen asleep yet, that's really... I have something to say!"

"what?"

"Before I came, I heard some rumors that you have an extraordinary relationship with Master Kitty..."

Bai Yutang paused for a moment, and his voice suddenly became cold: "Why?"

"No, young master, don't get me wrong, I just want to say, don't care what I thought before I came, anyway, this marriage, I have a million hands and feet in favor of this marriage! Okay, I finally said it, let's call it a day ,sleep!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Bei covered his head with the quilt and fell asleep. After a while, he felt that he might have hallucinations, because he actually heard his cold and unreasonable young master laughing.

Looks like I can sleep well tonight.
