I have a little bit of talent

After making arrangements, the few of them packed up and left.

Boss Xie's emotions were still unstable at this time, and even with a smile on his face, there was no way he could help.

You just need to rest at home and not let anyone see any changes that might arouse suspicion.

Lu Chen returned to the Huaicheng government office and asked several colleagues about how the Huaicheng government had dealt with the robbers before, or at least who was in charge of the matter.

Fang Mu was the simplest. He just went back to his room and took a nap.

After all, I have to explore the Cangyun Chamber of Commerce at night, so now is the time to take a good rest and recharge my energy.

But Lu Chen strongly suspected that this guy just ate too much at noon and wanted to take a nap.

Of course Fang Mu scoffed at his idea!

Back in the room, with no one else around, Fang Mu took out a set of night clothes from the mustard seed space.

As early as in Tongyang, Fang Mu had already made a lot of preparations for night operations. After all, it is better to be prepared. These things may not be needed, but they are necessary.

As for the standard items for night exploration such as knockout drugs and love cigarettes, Fang Mu did not prepare any.

Firstly, these things are hard to get, and regular drug stores will not easily sell such drugs. If you want to buy them, you must report to the government.

Secondly, these things may have some effect on ordinary people, but for those who have embarked on the practice of cultivation, even those who have just entered the realm of physical training are all strong and healthy, with qi and blood far exceeding that of ordinary people. The effects of these medicines are minimal, and once used, they may even alert the enemy, so there is really no need to use them.

Otherwise, Fang Mu is not a pedantic person and would definitely use an easier method if there was one!

In addition to the night clothes, Fang Mu also prepared some pills to conceal his breath, to prevent his breath from being leaked and discovered. It can be said that he was well prepared.

In fact, if Elder Huai had not reminded Fang Mu not to move his soul rashly, Fang Mu would have already concealed his soul and gone straight into the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce to investigate. Why would he bother with so much hiding?

"I'm afraid I'm the first practitioner who has achieved the state of Yuan Shen but still has to act like a thief." Fang Mu secretly sneered in his heart.

God have mercy on him, this is the first time he has done such a thing in the decades of his past and present lives.

Needless to say, in his previous life, he was a good citizen who abided by the law.

In the past ten years since my reincarnation, I have lived a life of luxury and wealth, and there is no need for me to do such things as sneaking around at night.

"I hope this clue can lead to a breakthrough, otherwise I will be sorry for being a thief for the first time!"

Fang Mu looked out the window. The sky was gradually getting darker, but he still felt a little bit of anticipation in his heart.

This guy is obviously impatient for the infiltration operation at night!

……

It has been cloudy these past two days. The sunlight is blocked by clouds during the day, and the locust trees in the city provide shade, making the city feel a little cooler.

At night, the moonlight from the three moons was blocked, and the originally bright night was now pitch black. If it were not for the candles lit in the homes of the city residents, the city would still seem somewhat lively under the light of these few lights.

As the night deepened, the candles were extinguished one by one. Except for the area where the government office was located, which was still brightly lit, the entire Huaicheng was plunged into darkness. The shadows of swaying tree branches could be seen faintly, adding a touch of eeriness to the atmosphere.

On weekdays, when it rains, the residents of Huaicheng lock their doors at night and seldom go out. This is also because the night view of Huaicheng is indeed somewhat creepy.

A figure passed silently past the gate of the Xie family, tapped the top of the wall with his feet, and landed lightly on the street outside.

Fang Mu was wearing black clothes and a mask, and he kept walking towards the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce.

When passing by the old locust tree, the branches of the locust tree shook as if greeting Fang Mu, and the old man's suppressed laughter seemed to come to his ears.

Fang Mu ignored him with a gloomy face, but he sped up a bit.

The Cangyun Chamber of Commerce was not far from the Xie family, and there were no pedestrians on the road that he needed to avoid. Fang Mu reached his destination in less than a cup of tea.

"It's strange, why is there no movement inside?"

Fang Mu stood in front of the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce with a puzzled look on his face.

There was no movement in the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce at this moment. Not only was there a gatekeeper, there was no sign of any living person inside!

"Could it be possible that they were all silenced?" This was Fang Mu's first time doing an infiltration and he didn't want any accidents to happen.

He exerted a little force with his feet and walked directly over the gate wall and entered the Cangyun Chamber of Commerce.

"There really is no one here. What is going on?"

With Fang Mu's cultivation level, even if he didn't use his soul to investigate, the fluctuations in the aura around him could not be concealed from him. However, at this moment, there was actually no aura of a single person in the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce. The entire courtyard was empty. Not to mention people, there was not even a ghost!

If he hadn't smelled the blood, Fang Mu would have really thought that the entire Chamber of Commerce had been wiped out.

"My first infiltration was a complete failure. The covert investigation has turned into an open investigation."

Fang Mu cursed inwardly. There was no one in the Cang Yun Chamber of Commerce, so there was no need to be cautious and afraid of being discovered. He just started to check without any hesitation.

From the business in the front hall to the houses in the backyard, Fang Mu investigated one by one, and finally found some clues in a house in the backyard.

From the outside, the house looked no different from other rooms, except that there were still some faint fluctuations of aura inside.

The aura fluctuations were chaotic and it was obvious that it was not left by just one person.

Obviously, many people had stayed here before, and the aura had not completely dissipated. Even if he had not used his soul to sense it, he could not escape Fang Mu's detection.

There was obviously no one in the house, so Fang Mu pushed the door open and started checking.

Finally, a discovery was made in the wooden board under the bed in the house, and the place under the bed was also where the smell was the strongest.

"These people can't all be hiding under the bed playing hide and seek."

Fang Mu tapped the floor under the bed and found that although the surface of the floor was solid wood, there was a large empty space inside, obviously there was something fishy going on.

At this moment, he did not bother to look for any mechanism or the like. He just exerted force with his palms and shattered the floor into pieces. An empty underground tunnel appeared before his eyes.

"Sure enough, there is a secret passage. A business would dig a secret passage. The real owner can't escape!"

As the tunnel opened, the complex fluctuations of the aura became more and more obvious. Fang Mu knew that he had found the right place, so he went down the tunnel and continued to pursue.

"Interesting, interesting. Looks like we'll gain more today!"

And half an hour before Fang Mu went to Cangyun Chamber of Commerce to investigate.

Lu Chen sat in his residence in the Huaicheng government office with an extremely grim expression. Thinking back to what he had investigated this afternoon, he found it hard to believe.

After the Xie family returned to the Huaicheng government office, Lu Chen asked several friends who worked in Huaicheng for information. Only then did he know that the person who handled the missing persons case around Huaicheng was not someone else.

It is the current Huaicheng Commander, Chen Changxing!

He is one of the most powerful people in the entire Huaicheng, except for the city lord who sits in the Huaicheng City Lord’s Mansion.

The Duwei is in charge of the soldiers of a city. He is a real high-ranking official in Huaicheng. Except for the city lord, everyone else in the government office is under his control.

If even the Huaicheng Commander had problems, considering the extent of his control over Huaicheng, he would probably have already seen the whereabouts of them all.

At this time, a man came to Lu Chen's door. He was dressed as an official and was obviously from the Huaicheng government office.

"Old Lu, Captain Chen just led a few people out of the city! I don't know what they are doing in the middle of the night!

"It's really hard to repay this favor of yours. You actually asked me to investigate Captain Chen. If I'm discovered, I'll be in big trouble. Don't ask me for this kind of thing in the future. It's scary."

Just as the man finished speaking, Lu Chen opened the door with a clang.

"Thank you, Brother Ye. I'm going to go out for a while. Don't let anyone know!"

Without waiting for the official surnamed Ye to reply, Lu Chen hurried out of the city.

"You have to be very secretive. Be careful not to be discovered by Captain Chen."

Seeing that Lu Chen was in a hurry, the official named Ye hurriedly gave instructions.

"Got it. This matter has absolutely nothing to do with Brother Ye!"

Lu Chen also knew what the official named Ye was thinking, so he sent a message to comfort him while running.

I felt a little anxious.

"I'm afraid that Brother Tieshan and his team's investigation was exposed today, and Brother Mu really didn't have time to notify them. I hope everything is still in time."
