Dafeng's Night Squad - Chapter 243
243 Xu Qi ‘an, the princesses should be receiving my ambiguous text message soon (2)
Zhu guangxiao shook his head.
“The word” mo “doesn’t have any special meaning in our Yamen, does it?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
Song tingfeng muttered, ” the Imperial inspector and Jiang Jinluo have already studied the secret code. If the word ‘mo’ points to a secret code in the Yamen, the Imperial inspector and the Imperial inspector should be able to find out.
!!
“What can the governor find? He’s only good at guessing riddles.” Xu Qi ‘an pursed his lips. The next moment, he froze.
A flash of inspiration burst forth in his exhausted mind, flashing like lightning.
He remembered that when he was still in the police academy, a professor who studied criminal psychology had once said that a person’s behavior was closely related to his habits.
When analyzing and profiling a target, the first thing one had to do was to gather as much information as possible about the target and understand their habits.
No matter how cunning a criminal was, there was always a pattern to his behavior, and that was his habit.
What was Zhou Jing’s habit?
It was a word puzzle!
Yang Yingying had once said that Zhou Jing liked to play charades with her when they were drinking … Therefore, when Zhou Fu was thinking about how to hide the evidence and leave clues, he would habitually approach the direction of the word puzzle … From this, it could be inferred that the only word in the two secret codes was also a word puzzle. Xu Qi ‘an’s thoughts became clearer and clearer.
Song tingfeng and Zhu guangxiao looked at each other and tacitly remained silent. Just now, Xu ningyan’s mood had returned, and he was as wise and focused as he was when he was investigating the Sang Bo case.
Moe, it’s Black and dog when opened … Xu Qi ‘an pinched the space between his eyebrows and asked,”I remember that my colleague who went to Huang Bo Street said that it’s a dog market?”
yes, ” song tingfeng replied. it’s the dog market. What’s wrong? ”
Xu Qi ‘an said, ” the word’ mo ‘can be separated into’ black ‘and’ dog’, respectively. The information on Huang Bo Street is a clue left by Zhou Fu in the last word puzzle game. I think we can match it now.
“Do you think the secret code is referring to the dog market?” Song tingfeng frowned. then what does this black represent? ” Isn’t it too arbitrary to judge that the secret code points to the dog market with just the word “dog”?”
“I have an idea.” Xu Qi ‘an didn’t finish his words. He went out and called for the courier.
“Milords, do you have any orders?” The courier said.
“How much do you know about Huang Bo Street?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“Huang Bo Street, ah. That place is very chaotic. It’s still fine during the day, it’s very quiet. However, at night, that Street is filled with all kinds of people-pilferers, travelers, and even mountain bandits.” The courier replied.
Was that place selling dog meat or some other kind of meat? Xu Qi ‘an thought to himself and said,”Mountain bandits and martial artists wouldn’t go there just for a bite of dog meat, would they?”
“Of course not. On the surface, yellow uncle Street sells dog meat, but it’s actually a black market. They’re selling things that can’t be seen by the public, and doing shady deals.” The courier said.
“Have you been to the black market?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
The courier immediately revealed a look of shame and said awkwardly, “”I went to buy dog meat.”
Why did he have to make an awkward expression as if he had been caught trying to act cool with his hands when buying dog meat … “Speak human language,” Xu Qi ‘an said with a frown.
I’ve found a private prostitute in Shop 6, ” the courier said in a low voice. that’s what buying dog meat means.
‘He’s too young. He’s so shy and doesn’t even dare to say anything when he’s looking for a prostitute …’ The three of them shook their heads and sighed.
“Xin No. 6?” Xu Qi ‘an asked.
“The black market shop is named after the heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches.” The young courier’s face and ears turned red. He felt that he had been publicly executed.
Xu Qi ‘an nodded. I know. You may leave.
After the courier closed the door and left, Xu Qi ‘an heard the footsteps gradually fade away. He shrugged. the situation is already very obvious. Black Dog, I mean this black market that sells dog meat.
As for why White Emperor City had such a place, it was not strange to conduct shady transactions under the eyes of the government.
Even the city of the best in the world had many black markets.
Huang Bo Street wasn’t far from the courier station, but it was part of the outer city, so there was no curfew at night.
“What do the other signals mean?” it should be telling us who to look for in the black market, or how to find it, ” song tingfeng answered his own question.
“The answer is in the Almanac.” Xu Qi ‘an said with certainty.
“We’ve already checked it just now.” Zhu guangxiao looked at him.
the Almanac’s idea is correct, but how could Zhou Fu leave such important clues in the relic? ” Xu Qi ‘an said, ”
“It’s the calendar of previous years, not this year’s,”
“Which year was it?” Zhu guangxiao said in a deep voice.
“Guangxiao, you’re obviously not as quick-witted as tingfeng today. There had been so many in the past, and Dafeng had been established for six hundred years. Finding the correct calendar was like finding a needle in a haystack. Zhou Fu did not seem so stupid. Since it’s not this year’s calendar, I guess that calendar has some unusual significance to him.
“Of course, the Chinese calendar doesn’t have any special meaning, but the year does, such as the year of birth, the date of the wedding, and so on. If he was not wrong, that should be the lunar calendar from fourteen years ago.
“Because that was the beginning of Zhou Qu’s appointment to Yunzhou.”
Fourteen years ago, the relay station was gone, and only the Yamen and the bookstore remained. In order to keep a low profile, song tingfeng went to the bookstore instead of the Yamen.
In the time it took to make a cup of tea, he rode his horse back with the old calendar.
Xu Qi ‘an found a pen and paper and spread them out on the table. Thinking that it was difficult for his own calligraphy to be distinguished, he pushed Zhu guangxiao out to be a scriptwriter.
