The man who has traveled through time and space for a long time is so scary
Chapter 42 Hard Bones
That night, unlike the happy and harmonious atmosphere in the villa, the atmosphere on Nanchen's side was serious and tense. Nanchen looked solemn and made a series of arrangements: first, the six people were detained separately and no one was allowed to contact them, and then they were interrogated separately; second, the 18 male prostitutes were also interrogated separately to compare the information they said; third, the items they brought were checked to ensure that no clues were missed.
The city government offices were under strict surveillance. The interrogation rooms were dimly lit. The guards and interrogators all wore masks, black robes, and swords. A short, fat, middle-aged man with a pale face was pushed in by two guards. When he was pressed to sit on the stool in front of the interrogation table, he was calm and composed. "Sir, I am just an ordinary businessman. I don't know why you arrested me and brought me here?"
Hei glanced at him and ignored him, doing his job seriously. He began to ask questions without showing any emotion:
"Name?"
The fat middle-aged man was slightly stunned. "I am... I am Liu Ji."
"age?"
"I am forty-two."
"Where are you from?"
"I am from Huaiyang"
"When did you come to Shu? What do you do for a living?"
"Last August, we bought a bit of everything."
"When did you board the flower boat?"
"Half a month ago."
Seeing that the official was asking common questions, the fat man became more and more relaxed in answering.
"Where is the city home?"
"My home is... Sir, I don't have a home here..."
"Where do you live on weekdays?"
"Inn"
"Why have you been staying on the flower boat for the past half month?"
"It costs money to stay in an inn, and it costs money to stay on a boat, so I want to change to another place to stay."
Hei Yi stared at him and said nothing, silence...
The fat man also remained silent...
The two sides fought secretly for a long time, and Hei Yi waved his hand and asked someone to take him away!
The same interrogation was carried out simultaneously in other interrogation rooms.
Hei Yi stood up, straightened his back and walked out of the interrogation room, took the interrogation record book with him, and went to report the situation to Nan Chen with other interrogators. "Sir, I have brought all the records."
Nanchen: "Okay, let's compare the information first."
Six interrogation records were arranged on the table and compared one by one.
Hei Yi: "There are two people in Huaiyang, two people in Jinling, and two people in Shu."
Hei Er: "The two who came a year ago were from Huaiyang, the ones who came this summer were from Jinling, and the two from Shu joined them in July. How can they mix together like this?"
Hei San: "The time of boarding the ship is different: half a month ago, ten days ago, and the last three days. What does that mean?"
Nanchen: "That means they must have another base. If we haven't found them yet, let's just leave them alone. Starve them for a few meals and then interrogate them!"
Hei Yi: "Fat Liu Ji almost told me where he lived, but he talked him out of it."
Nanchen: "Quickly interrogate those male prostitutes, scare them a bit, and then compare them!"
"Yes!" Hei Yi and others went out to carry out the mission.
Nanchen got up and went to another room, where there were people guarding twelve large boxes, which were now sealed. Nanchen thought for a moment and felt that it was necessary to check immediately to prevent any more trouble.
"Send twelve people over to check the boxes. One person will check, one will record, and one will verify." Nanchen ordered the guard to make arrangements.
"Yes, my lord!"
Twelve people came in soon, lined up four boxes in a row, and three people checked each box.
"open!"
With a swish, the seal was torn off, and the dagger was lifted with force, and the box opened with a clang.
"One piece of clothing" - touch the whole piece of clothing inside and out, corners and every pocket. Pass it to another person next to you for review and start recording.
"A silver bag..."
"An account book..."
Nan Chen said in a deep voice: "After you finish recording the account books, bring them to me separately. As for the correspondence papers, books, and things with words, bring them all to me after you have recorded them!"
On one side, they were busy checking items, and on the other side, they were interrogating the waiter. After all this was done, it was already late at night. Nanchen looked at the account books and books piled on his desk.
He also ordered his subordinates: "Hei Yi, prepare a midnight snack in the kitchen. Keep a close watch on it and don't let the news leak out. The guards will take turns to rest!"
"Sir, you..." Hei Yi looked at Nanchen who seemed to be going to stay up late, and wanted to persuade him.
Nanchen: "It's okay, I'll pick out the important ones first. I'll look at the rest tomorrow."
"Okay!" Hei Yi stepped out.
Nanchen began to work late into the night, and the first thing he did was to look at the account book.
out:
Time: August, Cloth: Huaiyang Silk, Quantity: 1,200 pieces, Amount: 36,000 taels. What a big deal!
enter:
Time: September, Cloth: Shu cloth, Quantity: 50 pieces, Amount: 300 taels
Time: October, Cloth: Shu cloth, Quantity: 50 pieces, Amount: 300 taels
November: ...Medicinal materials, 300 taels
December: ... dry goods, three hundred taels
Nanchen felt very strange:... What kind of business method is this? There are all kinds of goods, and the amount of money shipped out every month is only three hundred taels, except for the large amount of silk shipped to Shu. Three hundred taels? Three hundred taels? Is this a cover-up? !
Nanchen slammed the table. Damn it! If it's not a delivery for information, God will not agree! It's really cunning! He was a little annoyed that his opponent was cunning and actually made a move under his nose, but he didn't find it yet! It seems that he has to go back and ask the eldest and the third brother for support. After thinking for a while, he got up and packed the things on the table with black cloth, carried them out of the yamen, and rode away on horseback.
When Nan Chen arrived home after working all day, it was already midnight. He quickly took a cold shower and lay down on his bed to catch up on his sleep. He could have gone to the secret base to stay overnight, but home! For a man who already had a family, home had an indescribable magic that guided him to rush back overnight. Nan Chen fell asleep quickly with the expectation of seeing his wife early tomorrow morning...
