Secret War Silent

"Other than that, it's his affair with the female boss of the Plum Blossom Chess Club. However, I haven't seen him spend the night at the Chess Club, so it may not be true."

"Is the boss of the chess club a woman?"

"Yes, the story of this female boss is very legendary. She turned out to be the ninth concubine of the warlord He Yun..." Shi Xueqin said eloquently. After all, he is a native of Xiangcheng. It's like a treasure.

"Stop, okay, I'm not interested in his romantic anecdotes, I just want to know if you suspect him just because of his back?" Luo Yao continued to ask.

"Of course not. I know very well how my wife and children died, but the forensic examination is completely different from what I know. If this Zhou Yuan is really so powerful, he will not be able to see it. So, I'm sure he must have problem." Shi Xueqin said.

"It makes sense, but I read the notes you made afterwards, and it doesn't seem to be what you said." Luo Yao asked.

"Records can be forged, sir, you don't know that?"

"This case goes up to Generalissimo Jiang and every ordinary person in Xiangcheng is paying attention to it. Who dares to make a move?"

"If no one did anything, you wouldn't have found me, sir."

Luo Yao was at a loss for words.

"I'll record your statement again now, is that okay?" Luo Yao asked.

Shi Xueqin chuckled: "If you think it's necessary, sir, I don't care. I just want to tell the story again, and no one will believe it anyway."

"As long as you tell the truth, I will believe it."

Chapter 0433

Luo Yao believed what Shi Xueqin said was true, because during the process of his narration, he had been observing the subtle expressions on the other side's face.

And judging the emotion of his speech from the voice and tone of his narration.

If he was just a slightly smarter ordinary person, without special training, it would be impossible to control his emotions so perfectly.

Then everything is true.

It is true that he drank a lot that night and was even a little tipsy, but he was not completely unconscious.

If he died drunk in the room, he would probably be burned to death. In fact, when he woke up, the fire had just reached his room.

The room where the wife and children lived was already surrounded by a raging fire.

The burns on his face were not caused when he rushed out of the sea of ​​flames, but when he tried to rush in to save his wife and children when a broken beam fell from above and hit him on the face.

Moreover, he also smelled a strong smell of soybean oil.

He was so smashed that he passed out, and he was woken up by the fire. After that, he couldn't do it anymore if he wanted to save his wife and children.

He had no choice but to rush out first, dragging his burned body.

When he rushed out, he saw flames everywhere inside and outside Xiangcheng, let alone someone coming to save his house from the fire.

He will never forget that night.

The most important point is that he did not hear any calls for help from his wife and children from the beginning to the end, which made him suspect that the fire was the source of an accident.

And later the investigation announced that the fire was caused by his negligence, and he was even more convinced that someone set the fire.

He didn't dare to say it, he was afraid that he would die if he said it, so he could only pretend to be crazy and stupid.

Of course, when Li Haihuai investigated this case, he approached him, even arrested him, and tortured him to extract a confession.

He didn't say anything, because he had seen Li Haihuai and Zhou Yuan had dinner together, and the relationship between the two was still very close.

At that time, he doubted Zhou Yuan, so he naturally suspected that Li Haihuai was ordered by Zhou Yuan to come here to test whether he was really crazy or not.

In the ruins of the oil workshop, when he saw Luo Yao, he called Li Haihuai, and this was the reason why he was willing to talk to Luo Yao alone.

After listening to the description of this tragedy in the world, Luo Yao couldn't help sighing, Shi Xueqin's ability to become what he is today, probably has a lot to do with the accident that night.

People always grow after experiencing.

This is a transformation, but such a transformation is too cruel, and he doesn't want everyone to have this opportunity.

Overnight, the loved ones disappeared and the home was destroyed. If the rest of his life was not supported by the motivation of "revenge", he would be a walking dead.

……

Plum Blossom Chess Club.

"Sir, you look a bit unfamiliar, don't you seem like a regular customer of our chess club?" Unlike many tea clubs, the manager of the chess club who came out to greet Luo Yao was actually wearing a suit and a bow tie.

"Hehe, yes, I came here for the name." Luo Yao nodded slightly.

"It turns out to be a distinguished guest, please." The manager smiled and made a gesture of invitation, and introduced, "Our chess club has been established in Xiangcheng for some years, and it is an old chess club..."

Luo Yao just nodded with a smile, the interior layout of this plum blossom chess club is indeed unique, the colors are light and elegant, quite classical in beauty.

"This incense..."

"Your guest can smell it. This incense is our boss's own secret recipe. It has the effect of calming the mind and calming the mind." The manager hurriedly introduced.

"Is that so, I simply think it smells good, the taste is elegant, and it gives people a feeling of calming down instantly." Luo Yao nodded in praise.

"Your guest is coming to our chess club for the first time. It is recommended that you choose a chess player according to your own chess ability. You can play a game with the chess players of our chess club first. After confirming your rank, you can choose to play chess with other chess players. It’s only fun when you pay attention to meeting your opponent, isn’t it?”

"Well, you're right, if I reach a certain level, can I choose my opponent?" Luo Yao asked.

"Of course, but you have to become our member. FITs don't have the right to choose opponents."

"I see, then come on."

The manager probably saw that Luo Yao was young, so he found a chess player of the same age for him, and soon, that chess player gave up.

Luo Yao's chess skills are clear to him, that is to say, he is an amateur at [-]rd or [-]th dan, at best he is just an amateur.

But those who come to this kind of chess club to play chess are basically amateurs, and professional chess players are all playing games, relying on this to earn money.

Some of the people who come here to play chess rely on this to make a living. It is nothing more than a leisure time, as a usual pastime.

Luo Yao's target was Zhou Yuan. According to the information provided by Shi Xueqin, every Saturday afternoon, unless something happened, he would come over to play chess, and it lasted all afternoon.

He came here specially to wait for Zhou Yuan.

Zhou Yuan is a senior member of the chess club, everyone who often comes here to play chess knows him, and he is quite famous among the chess players.

"Old Zhou is here. Let's play a game today. I lost to you last time. I studied hard when I went back. I will definitely win this time."

"Okay, whoever loses later invites you to dinner?"

"no problem."

"Mr. Zhou, there is a new Mr. Qin who came out of nowhere and wants to invite you to play a game of chess?" The manager of the chess club came over and whispered.

"I don't know Mr. Qin." Zhou Yuan changed into a loose chess uniform, "Besides, what kind of chess skills does he have, and he wants to play against me?"

"He just won Mr. Gan."

"Gan Lichu?"

"Yes, Mr. Qian thinks that his chess ability is at least at the fifth dan amateur level, maybe even higher." The manager stood with his hands down.

"That's interesting. There hasn't been a new player like this in the chess club for a long time." Zhou Yuan said, "Tell him, I'll be there in a while."

"Okay, then I'll call back."

……

"Which one is Mr. Qin?"

"I'm right here." Luo Yao got up to greet him. This was the first time he saw Zhou Yuan. Of course, he had seen Zhou Yuan's photo before this.

There was a trace of arrogance in the person's eyebrows, and an aggressive feeling in his tone of voice, obviously he was usually a person with a strong personality.

"I heard from the manager that Mr. Qin won against Lao Gan?"

"It's a lucky win." Luo Yao nodded humbly, "Mr. Zhou, please sit down."

"There are rules for playing chess with me, do you know?" Zhou Yuan said arrogantly, in the Plum Blossom Chess Club, he is one of the few people who dare to do so.

"I know, two dollars for a game, and another five dollars if you lose." Luo Yao nodded, "If you win, there will be a bounty of 50 dollars."

"Well, I'll only give you one chance. If you lose, you need to win ten consecutive rounds to have a chance to challenge me." Zhou Yuan said.

"The manager has explained the rules to me clearly." Luo Yao nodded, this week Zhou Yuan regarded him as a challenger for the bounty of "50 yuan ocean".

"Mr. Zhou, please." Luo Yao intentionally placed the black chess in front of Zhou Yuan, and asked him to make the first move. This was actually a test.

When Chinese people play Go, they all play "white first, black second". This is the rule of Chinese Go since ancient times, while Japan is the opposite.

"Mr. Qin is a guest, Mr. Qin should invite you first." Zhou Yuan said after exchanging the can of black Go pieces with the white Go pieces in front of Luo Yao.

Luo Yao smiled slightly: "Does Mr. Zhou like playing white chess?"

"Oh, no, in our plum blossom chess club, the black chess player plays first. This is the rule." Zhou Yuan said.

"As far as I know, the black line is white and the queen is the way to play Go in Japan, but in China, white goes first and black goes back. When did this rule change?"

"The rules are not static. Black first and white first are nothing more than a sequence, which doesn't make much sense."

"That's true, then I'll play black." Luo Yao chuckled, and pinched a piece with his thumb and forefinger and landed on the board.

"Mr. Zhou is very good at chess, Mr. Qin admits the bet, and I will give you seven yuan in a while."

Sweat stains appeared on Zhou Yuan's forehead, he got up and clasped his fists and said, "Mr. Qin, I have accepted."

Chess quality is like character, this week Zhou Yuan's style of playing chess is hidden in the needles, which makes people careless. He is obviously a thoughtful person.

If such a person becomes a traitor and works for the Japanese, it is really a sad thing.

"Sir, why didn't you arrest him directly?" Yang Fan asked.

"That would scare the snake away. We can't confirm his identity yet. If he is just '虺' controlling his subordinates, not '虺' himself, then if he arrests people, the clue will be broken." Luo Yao shook his head.

"If you catch him, don't you know?"

"It's not that easy. Even if he is a '虺', he will not tell us his identity. Besides, if he is not, then it will be difficult for us to catch the real '虺'." Luo Yao said, "Each party will send one Just stay at his home and hospital."

"Yes."

His intuition told Luo Yao that there must be something wrong with Zhou Yuan, but he still doesn't know how he is in contact with the spy organization. A person like him should understand what money can be taken and what money can't be taken, so buying money shouldn't be the main thing reason.

The latest breakthrough was actually Sha Yunhu. When Luo Yao returned to the manor, Li Fu and Yi Xuezhong excitedly handed him a stack of interrogation transcripts.

"Did Sha Yunhu do the arson at Buzhuang?"

"Yes, he admitted. The details are written in it. This guy did it according to the instructions of another person. This person is his boss and is also in charge of selling stolen goods. Nickname: Fat Cat."

"There is indeed such a No. [-] person on Xiangcheng Road who specializes in selling stolen goods, but few people have seen his true face, which is very mysterious." Yi Xuezhong said.

"Is there a picture of a fat cat?"

"Yes." Li Fu picked out a portrait sketch from the data, "This is the portrait sketch we drew based on Sha Yunhu's description, and according to Sha Yunhu's words, it is [-]% or [-]% similar."

"That's interesting, another 'fat cat' popped up."

"Brother, I think we can put Sha Yunhu back and use him to lure Fat Cat to show up. What do you think?"

"It has been more than 24 hours since Sha Yunhu was caught. If Sha Mao contacted him during this time, but he didn't respond, what would happen?" Luo Yao asked back.

"Probably not, 'Fat Mao' just met him once before we caught him, and told him to gather his brothers and said that there was a big deal. 'Fat Mao' didn't say what it was."

"time?"

"Just within two or three days."

Chapter 0434

Big deal?

Could it be that he came for himself!

Luo Yao naturally assumed the identity of "虺", if he was "虺", it would be impossible to tell Sha Yunhu his real identity.

This is not my race, the truth must be different, and the Japanese absolutely follow it as a standard.

"Fat cat" is very likely to be a false identity used when contacting Sha Yunhu. A "grave robber" like Sha Yunhu who only has money in his eyes has no concept of any country or nation.

Li Fu's proposal is indeed good.

But how to get Sha Yunhu to cooperate obediently?

……

"Boss Sha, do you want to live?" Li Fu entered the role very quickly, and he seemed to enjoy this role very much.
