Chapter 198: Chapter 198: Another BrainstormSolved the mystery....found it?!
Everyone present was ecstatic, but they also found it unbelievable. How did he do it? There was no clue at all.
He easily solved the mystery of such a headless case. Everyone was obviously involved in the case and had a discussion. The same information, the same clues, everyone was confused, how did he solve it?
Is Xu Ningyan really that scary?
Governor Zhang, who was stuck on the riddle of "Miss Wen's Marriage", was shocked and broke through the seal. He grabbed Xu Qi'an's arm in ecstasy. At this moment, Zhang lost his governor's posture and asked repeatedly:
"You solved the mystery? Are you serious? Are you serious?"
At this time, I want to say: I lied to you... I will probably be beaten to death... Xu Qi'an stood up and walked out: "At least there is a major breakthrough."
Under the gaze of everyone, he came to the yard of the post station, took out the geomancy map from the horse's hanging bag, returned to the lobby, and spread it on the table.
"The secret of the word puzzle is in the geomancy map." Xu Qian'an held the map with both hands, looked up and looked around at everyone, and explained:
"A jade pendant alone cannot convey information. Zhou Min will find a way to let Madam Yingying bring more information, but in order to keep it secret, he used the method of guessing the word puzzle. He deceived everyone, including Yingying's husband.
"But with the wisdom of Ziyang Jushi, you only need to ask carefully, and you will definitely be able to find out the secret of the word puzzle."
"Then why is the secret of the word puzzle in the geomancy map?" Zhu Guangxiao frowned and asked.
"Because the geomancy map is the easiest thing to get, and it is also the first thing that Ziyang Jushi who comes to Yunzhou for the first time will definitely get." Xu Qian'an answered.
Yes, there is a geomancy map in the post station. When you first arrive, getting a geomancy map is the first choice... Everyone suddenly realized.
"Is my reasoning right or wrong? Let's verify it together." Xu Qian'an looked down at the map: "The five fonts provided by the word puzzle are: Si, Bo, Gao, Huang, Ming."
Everyone rushed to the table and looked at the map with him.
The feng shui map was unfolded, almost covering the entire table, including the entire Baidi City. Streets, buildings, lakes, bridges, government offices, etc. were all marked on them. Everyone silently recited the five words while searching for the corresponding names.
Song Tingfeng suddenly pointed to a certain place: "Siming Bridge!"
People's eyes fell on the place where his finger pointed, where the outline of the arch bridge was outlined, and the tiny words marked: Siming Bridge.
Another Tongluo immediately pointed to another place: "There is a Huangbo Street here." The two words "" and "" did not find the corresponding location, especially the word "x", which was too taboo and was not on the entire map.
"The clue is likely to be in one of these two locations." Xu Qian'an analyzed.
"The remaining two words are useless?" someone asked.
"The other words may be mixed in to deceive people. Don't worry about it for now. Let's search these two places and see if we can find anything. "Xu Qiyan said.
Governor Zhang selected six night watchmen, changed into casual clothes and went to Huangbo Street to investigate the situation. Xu Qiyan took his two good friends Zhu Guangxiao and Song Tingfeng to Siming Bridge to find out.
Huangbo Street is not far from the post station, more than ten miles away. Siming Bridge is more than twenty miles away.
The three of them rode their horses wildly on the wide street. The attics and houses along the way have obvious southern characteristics, with white walls and black tiles, and loquat trees are planted in the yard.
Loquat is one of the characteristics of Yunzhou.
In addition, the dressing style of the people is also very different from that of the capital. The clothes here are more free, and there are minions everywhere. seaʀᴄh thё novel(F~)ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
In the capital, bright yellow fabrics are used exclusively by the royal family, but in Yunzhou Xu Qiyan saw many passers-by wearing bright yellow robes.
"Although the customs in different places are different, is the court's control over Yunzhou too weak? "Xu Qian'an was worried.
"The climate in Yunzhou is really uncomfortable, damp and cold." Song Tingfeng frowned. "It's better in our capital. It's a bit cold, but not so creepy. When I sent the merchants back today, I saw passers-by shivering as they walked." Zhu Guangxiao said.
"You two are like wolves from the north, frozen into huskies when you come to the south. "Xu Qiyan said with a big laugh. Of course, a martial artist in the Qi training realm is not afraid of cold or heat, he was just teasing.
.... The two looked at him blankly, what is Erha?
In fact, in this era, winter in the south is much better than in the north. Poor families can survive the winter by collecting straw in winter and having a shelter from the wind and rain.
It is different in the north. Many poor people in the north who cannot afford charcoal die silently in winter.
After all, there is no heating in the north of Dafeng.
Another point is that in winter, riding a horse in the south will cause snot to come out. In winter, riding a horse in the north will cause the nose to become useless.
Half an hour later, they arrived at their destination.
Siming Bridge collapsed on a small river. It is an arch bridge with two large and two small holes. It is carved from white marble and the bridge is covered with moss.
The three carefully inspected the bridge for a long time. Finally, Xu Qiyan locked his eyes on
the outside of the bridge, a protruding stone brick.
He pinched the brick with two fingers and pulled it out slowly, pulling out the brick-sized brick little by little.
He reached into the brick hole and fumbled for a while, and took out a brocade bag.
Sure enough, it was because of this brocade bag that the brick could not be tightly closed.
"There is really something!" Song Tingfeng was overjoyed, and moved closer, urging: "Open it and see what it is."
Xu Qi'an opened the brocade bag, and there was a note inside. He unfolded the note and it
read:
Silence 162
347, 4, 1, 2
Silence, 162. 347, 4, 1, 2... What do these two sets of numbers mean... Damn, Zhou Min is really a talent... Too fancy... It's a pity that he is already dead... Xu Qi'an stared at the note and fell
silent.
Song Tingfeng and Zhu Guangxiao looked at each other, and the former said blankly: "What does it mean?"
"How should I know! "Xu Qiyan replied unhappily: "We are both night watchmen, why is there such a big difference? Look at his hidden man, he is much better than you two, there is no comparison, no comparison..."
"The hidden men are the best, each with its own characteristics, otherwise how can they do the undercover mission." Song Tingfeng said unconvincedly:
"We, the night watchmen in the yamen, are only responsible for force."
The hidden men are talents with special skills, or they are meticulous or smart, while the
night watchmen in the yamen are only responsible for violent output, the two are different.
At this time, it was approaching dusk.
Xu Qiyan put away the note and said helplessly: "Go back first."
What awaits them... no, what awaits him is another brainstorm.
Post station.
Because Huangbo Street is closer to the post station, the night watchmen who went to investigate the situation in this street have returned and brought back disappointing news. "No discovery? Did you investigate well? "Governor Zhang questioned.
"There are few people on that street during the day. I asked the residents of the next street and found out that it is a dog market. It is only open at night. There is no one here at this
moment."
Tongluo, who went to investigate, replied depressedly.
A street is not big or small. What can you gain by rushing in like a headless fly? Ask everyone if
they know Zhou Minzhou of the Commandery?
"Hey! "The night watchmen were discouraged and shook their heads.
Governor Zhang drank a sip of tea, sat for a while, and could not sit still anymore, so he paced
back and forth in the lobby.
There were no clues in Huangbo Street, and now they could only wait for news from Xu Ningyan. If they didn't find anything, then the case would be back to square one.
They were still standing still.
"There must be some results, otherwise it will really be a headless case..." Governor Zhang
muttered.
His mutterings were heard by several Yinluo and Jiang Luzhong without missing a word. "They are back." The Tongluo at the door said in surprise.
A group of people turned their heads in unison, looked at the door, and watched Xu Qian'an
return with two colleagues.
"How is it? "Jiang Luzhong asked hurriedly.
Governor Zhang clenched his fist under his sleeves, staring at them expectantly and nervously.
Xu Qiyan took out the note and put it on the table. In an instant, more than a dozen hands
reached out.
Snap!
Jiang Luzhong slapped away all the claws with a slap, rushed to grab it, unfolded the letter
and took a look, frowning again:
"What does it say?"
Well, it's not the secret code of the night watchman's office... Xu Qiyan made a judgment.
"Let me see! "Governor Zhang rushed over and snatched the paper. There were two sets of
numbers written on it:
162
347412
Governor Zhang fell into a long state of prohibition. His mind flashed through the books of
sages he had read, and then he ruled out the option of echoing the allusions in the book.
This is the same as "Miss Wen's Marriage", both of which are bullying questions...Governor Zhang was distressed when he saw Xu Qi'an going upstairs silently.
"Ning Yan, what are you going to do?"
Xu Qi'an looked back on the stairs, listless: "Go back to the room to meditate, otherwise, I
feel like I will die suddenly at any time. Well, I haven't slept for twelve days."
"!!! "Jiang Lvzhong's eyebrows jumped fiercely.
He already knew that Xu Qiyan was trying to reach the realm of soul refining. Xu Qiyan had
asked a similar question on the canal: how to reach the realm of soul refining. Seeing his dark circles getting darker these days, Jiang Lvzhong guessed that this kid might be
trying to reach the realm of soul refining, but he didn't know how many days he had worked
hard.
Twelve days, twelve days and still not breaking through the limit, and he even had a fight in
the middle...
This means that Xu Qiyan's soul potential is very large, very large, and if he enters the realm
of soul refining, his soul will undergo a qualitative change.
Jiang Lvzhong himself was promoted to the realm of soul refining and endured sixteen days,
and the other golden gongs were not much different.
"Looking at this kid, twelve days is obviously not the limit. I don't know how long he can hold
on in one breath." Thinking of this, Jiang Lvzhong said in a deep voice: "Remember not to fall
asleep. "
Back in the room, Xu Qi'an took off his shoes and sat cross-legged on the bed, breathing and
practicing Qi while visualizing the giant image, and occasionally switching to the golden lion
roaring image.
As he was getting into the mood, he suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"What's the matter?" He opened his eyes.
"Ning Yan, are you feeling better?" Governor Zhang's voice came from the door. After getting
Xu Qi'an's affirmative answer, he immediately said: "Come with me to the dinner and meet the Yunzhou officialdom. "
