Chapter 510: Effective Intelligence
Mo Zhu lowered her eyes and pondered for a moment. She hesitated for a few seconds before taking out the Guan Yin statue from her pocket and placing it in front of Cheng Yi. She did not hide anything and said, “Recently, a lot of abnormal things have happened in Beijing. I suspect that there are unspeakable schemes hidden behind it. This Guan Yin statue is one of the doubts. You have been in charge of the Love Pavilion for many years and have been in Beijing for so long. Have you heard of this thing?”
Seeing Mo Zhu take out such a good Guan Yin statue, Cheng Yi looked at it carefully. He racked his brains for a long time but could not think of where he had heard of it.
After a while, he shook his head and said, “This thing looks quite expensive. It’s a treasure, but I’ve really never heard of it in Beijing.”
Mo Zhu nodded in understanding and looked straight into Cheng Yi’s eyes. Thinking of the matter she had asked Cheng Yi to help investigate previously, Mo Zhu continued to ask, “Last time, I asked you to keep a close eye on the Kang family and the Cheng family. Did you find anything recently?”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu take the initiative to mention this matter, Cheng Yi turned around and took two steps forward. He took out a thick stack of information from the cabinet in front of his desk and explained seriously as he placed it in front of Mo Zhu, “I did find some abnormal things, but on careful thought, there’s nothing unreasonable.”!!
Cheng Yi raised his hand and pointed at Cheng Tang’s figure that had appeared in some of the photos in the document. He analyzed neatly, “In the past two weeks, Ms. Cheng has been entering and exiting the Kang family frequently, and she has always entered quietly from the back door alone. I heard that something happened to the eldest madam of the Kang family. Although the two of them didn’t have a deep relationship previously, it’s reasonable for her to do this as an excuse to visit.”
After flipping to another picture, Cheng Yi frowned slightly and added, “There’s also the Cheng family. The old master of the Cheng family is already old. Even if ordinary people reach his age and can still move freely and healthily, it’s impossible for them to take charge of the Cheng family’s trivial matters. Based on the current shares and business of the Cheng family, the next master of the Cheng family is very likely to be Cheng Tang.”
“As everyone knows, there are experts stationed in the Cheng family’s old master’s small courtyard all year round. Without his permission, it’s impossible for others to break in alive. However, Cheng Tang often brings in mysterious people in dark black cloaks, and masks. Sometimes it’s young men, and sometimes it’s a middle-aged men.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Zhu acutely captured the main point in Cheng Yi’s words. She raised her hand and pointed at a shadow that flashed past in a certain picture. She asked in a grave tone, “Are you talking about this shadow?”
When Cheng Yi heard this, he nodded and replied, “That’s right. The vicinity of the Cheng family’s house is filled with surveillance blind spots. As long as a mysterious person appears, their system will be prepared to use infrared rays to block any spying cameras. Our people stared at it for a long time before we managed to capture the only picture where a black shadow appeared.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu pondered quietly for a moment. She seemed to have thought of something and turned around to quickly operate the huge display screen on the desk. Along with her frequent tapping of the screen, a few minutes later, a photo that had been deliberately enlarged appeared in front of the two of them.
Cheng Yi took a closer look. This photo was the photo in his hand. the only one with a black shadow depicted.
She zoomed in on the person’s appearance and looked at him seriously for a moment. She sensed that the skin of the black shadow under the cloak was pale and dark, and there were faint spots of blood. Thinking of the person who kidnapped Xu Huan previously, Mo Zhu’s expression instantly turned cold.
If this evidence was not deliberately leaked by someone in order for her to discover it, then all sorts of signs indicated that the mastermind behind all of this was the hidden Old Master Cheng of the Cheng family.
Cheng Tang had been active in Beijing for so long. Based on her age, it was impossible for her to have the guts and courage to control what happened more than ten years ago. If this matter was really done by the old master of the Cheng family, everything made sense.
However, why did the old master of the Cheng family plan all of this? The Cheng family was ranked at the top of the list of the noble families in Beijing in terms of strength and reputation. What did he want after creating so many tragedies?
