Chapter 866 – Raising Strengths and Avoiding Shortcomings
Zuo Qing took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
”Don’t worry, there aren’t many up-and-comers in our Night Vigil in these two years, sooner or later, we will make you talk.”
”Then I will wait and see.” Elder Chen smiled.
Zuo Qing’s gaze slightly condensed as he waved his hand at Tan Maoxun, who left the interrogation room and unlocked the door.
”I’ve come to remind you that we’ve already found the [Mask] squad’s trail.” Zuo Qing said indifferently.
”Oh?” Elder Chen raised his eyebrows, seemingly a little surprised.
”I have to remind you that there are some things, you taking the initiative to hand them over, and me saying them out on my own, are of a completely different nature, if you confess now, I can give you a decent death.”
”Huh.” Chen Lao let out a light laugh, “Trying to trap my words, isn’t this tactic too primitive?”
”Do you really think I’m trying to condescend?”
Zuo Qing calmly pulled out his cell phone, zoomed in on the map, and pointed to a certain location on it.
”Ningchang County, Coastal Fishing Village.”
Seeing the address that was marked in red, Chen Lao’s pupils slightly contracted.
For the first time since he had entered this interrogation room, his expression was grave.
”You are not curbing your surprise at all.” Zuo Qing spoke calmly, “Don’t you think I’m swindling you anymore?”
”How did you find it?” Chen Lao asked suspiciously, “I should have erased all traces already.”
”Like I said, there have been quite a few up-and-comers from the Night’s Watch in the past two years.”
Elder Chen fell into silence.
”It’s [Night Vigil]?” I don’t know how long it took before Elder Chen slowly spoke.
”They have already entered that fishing village to look for clues, and our follow-up team is also on their way to that fishing village ……,” Zuo Qing walked up to Chen Lao and spoke word by word, “Now, what else do you have to explain, there is still not too late.”
Hearing these words, Chen Lao was stunned, as if he remembered something.
”What day is today?”
This sudden question made Zuo Qing frown slightly, and after hesitating for a long time, he still answered truthfully, “The 14th.”
”The 14th ……,” Chen Lao muttered the date, the corners of his mouth rose, first sneering in a low voice for a moment, then laughing uncontrollably.
His laughter echoed in the interrogation room, eerie and terrifying.
”What are you laughing at?” Zuo Qing asked in a cold voice.
”I’m laughing at you guys, actually letting the [Night Curtain] squad go in just like that.” Chen Lao’s pale face laughed out a groove, “I originally just wanted to exterminate one of the most threatening [False Masks], but I didn’t expect that I would be able to hitch another [Night Curtain] …… by the way, which is really an unexpected pleasure.”
Zuo Qing’s face instantly turned gloomy.
He violently stretched out his hand, grabbed Chen Lao’s collar, and pressed his face to his face, his eyes widening angrily.
”What do you mean?”
Chen Lao’s disheveled silver strands hung down in front of his pale face, and those deep and cloudy eyes quietly gazed into Zuo Qing’s furious eyes as he slowly spoke, “Don’t you understand? Zuo Qing …… [Mask] and [Night Curtain], both can’t come back.
The demise of the two special squads will push Daxia directly into the endless abyss …… This battle, the Night’s Watch will definitely lose.”
”Bastard!” Zuo Qing could no longer control his inner rage and violently slammed his fist on Chen Lao’s face, sending him flying directly to the ground, “Chen Lu, what exactly did you prepare in that fishing village?!”
”I prepared nothing.” Chen Lao lay on his back and laughed, “It’s just that ‘they’, were already watching there ……”
When Zuo Qing heard the word ‘they’, his brows tightly furrowed, he was about to pull Chen Lao up again to ask something, but after a moment’s pause, he still pushed the door and left the interrogation room first.
”Where is the [Night Curtain] squad?” Zuo Qing asked in a cold voice.
”They entered the fishing village after they passed back this address.”
”Contact them, regardless of whether or not they have found the clues of the [Mask], immediately retreat from there!”
”…… No way, Commander Left.” The fingertips of the person from the technical department tapped rapidly on the keyboard, a slight cold sweat breaking out on his forehead, “They’ve lost their signal, just like ……
just like the [Mask] squad.”
Zuo Qing’s face turned ugly.
He stood in place and pondered for a moment before ordering once again, “The location of the fasting house should not be far from there, have Fuzi rush over there now.”
”Yes.”
”…… There’s more.” Zuo Qing’s gaze swept over Chen Lao in the interrogation room, his eyes narrowed slightly, “Call up all of his biographical information for me, retrieve it, and see what kind of intersections he has with that small fishing village in Ningchang County ……”
Fishing village.
Duk Duk Duk!
”Who is it?”
A fisherman opened the door and suddenly froze in place when he saw the three people standing outside the door.
A fat man with a hideous scar on his face who was grinning playfully; a fierce-looking man who didn’t look like a good person at first glance; and a delinquent youth with a cigarette in his mouth who was staring at him with narrowed eyes ……
”Good evening big brother, we are lost tour ……” Baili Fatty cleared his throat and was about to open his mouth to say something, when the villager quickly ducked back behind the door as if he had seen a ghost.
Bang–!
Only heard a dull sound, the door was tightly closed, followed by a crisp sound of unlocking.
Baili Fatty’s smile froze in the evening breeze.
Cao Yuan: ……
Shen Qingzhu: ……
”How many homes is this?” Shen Qingzhu held a cigarette, faintly exhaled smoke, and opened his mouth somewhat melancholically.
”The fourth home ……” Baili Chubby replied with his head hanging down, “What’s going on? Are the people in this village so wary? How come they don’t even hear people out?”
”I have a feeling that no normal person would let the three of us borrow a room.” Cao Yuan said quietly.
”Then what should we do?”
”Going on like this is not a solution.” Shen Qingzhu pondered for a moment, “I think that we need to capitalize on our strengths and avoid our weaknesses.”
”Develop our strengths and avoid our weaknesses?” Baili Fatty became interested, “Tell us carefully, what other strengths do we have?”
”Our shortcomings are that we don’t look like good people, but we have another strength …… ” Shen Qingzhu patted Baili Fatty’s shoulder and said seriously, “We are rich, very rich. ”
Baili Chubby’s eyes gradually brightened!
A few minutes later.
The door of a family’s house had just been opened, when Chubby Baili violently held the door with one hand, and with one hand, he took out a thick pile of several banknotes from his arms, and frantically stuffed them into the doorway.
”Big brother! Big brother don’t close the door first! We are lost tourists, we’ll borrow a night on, a night I give you fifty thousand dollars!”
With Baili Chubby’s words, the villager slightly froze, and the hand that closed the door loosened a little.
”Fifty thousand?” With an odd expression, he squatted down and casually picked up a hundred dollar bill from the ground, carefully sizing it up for a moment, his brows furrowed.
He threw this bill out with force, and spoke without a good mood, “Stuffing fake bills and you still have the nerve to borrow a room? Hurry up and get lost! Otherwise I’ll call out for someone!”
