Zhou Yuan stood in the lobby and looked around.

As soon as he came in, it actually attracted the attention of many people. One of them sat in a corner where people were least likely to be watched, and looked up at Zhou Yuan.

After Zhou Yuan's eyes looked around the lobby for a week, he stayed on the targets for a few times before walking diagonally toward the opposite place.

This action seemed normal on the surface, just looking for a good seat in the lobby where many guests were there, but the man wearing a hat in the corner followed Zhou Yuan's sight and noticed two people sitting at a table drinking.

The table where the two of them were sitting in the middle of the lobby was dressed by merchants. They ordered two bottles of wine and some cooked food. They ate and drank better, which was in line with the identity of merchants.

The man wearing the hat didn't see anything unusual about these two people, but he couldn't help but take a few more glances at the strong man who had just entered the store.

The man had already chosen a seat and found that the man was sitting near him, only three tables away from his table.

"This person should be a monk, but I guess he just came to the restaurant for dinner, so it would be okay to pay more attention." Wu Fang said in his heart.

He lowered his head again, and the brim of the hat covered his eyes, making him look like he was eating, making it easier for him to observe the people coming in and out of the entire inn.

Zhou Yuan sat down without moving.

After coming in, someone was observing him. How could Zhou Yuan not know that, so he sat near the man.

Zhou Yuan knew very well that the twelve major sects did not stop investigating the robbery of the Sky-Breaking Divine Stone. Even though they had searched the Feilong City for two days and used a lot of people, no results were found. The twelve major sects did not give up and changed the open investigation into a secret investigation.

Although the number of people surveyed was much smaller, there were still people stationed in Feilong City where people gathered, such as inns, teahouses, brothels, etc., and at least one person would stare at it.

Zhou Yuan believed that his judgment was correct. The man wearing a hat outside the table should be the person responsible for secretly monitoring Hongyun Inn.

He just looked at the two guests at the table in the middle of the lobby. I guess his actions also attracted the attention of men wearing hats.

The two guests were one of the people lurking in Feilong City by the Grey Road forces, and this time he chose the target.

The leader of the gray road force told him that at most the two people who sacrificed the gray road, there could not be more.

Zhou Yuan agreed. If the number of people is not limited, he can go to another place to find other members of the Gray Road power and treat it as a target.

But having these two goals is enough.

Zhou Yuan sat down and didn't move much, and did not look at the two people again. After the waiter brought a bottle of wine, Zhou Yuan poured himself a glass of wine and drank it slowly.

Soon, a plate of cold beef with sauce was served. Zhou Yuan picked up a few slices with chopsticks and ate them. He drank another glass of wine. As if he had encountered something suddenly, he stood up and walked towards the counter.

At this time, the hot dishes he ordered had not even been served. The waiter on the side quickly greeted him warmly and said, "Customer, the other dishes you ordered will be served soon."

The waiter wanted to serve this guest who looked extraordinary. Maybe if the guest was happy, he would give him some rewards.

"No need." Zhou Yuan said, giving the waiter a ingot of silver, not even the broken silver, and he was generous.

Ignore the store

After the waiter thanked him for his gratitude, Zhou Yuan walked to the counter.

Wu Fang, a man wearing a hat, saw this scene and stood up, pretending to be checking out, approaching the counter.

Wu Fang felt that the strong man wearing a sword was a little abnormal. He had not had a formal meal yet, and he did not see anyone greeting him, or had received any orders, and suddenly he had to pay the bill and leave. This was unreasonable.

After getting closer, Wu Fang could hear the conversation between the other party and the shopkeeper, so he stood there with his back facing the counter.

"Customer, are you going to leave now?" the shopkeeper asked with a smile.

Zhou Yuan nodded, took out a ingot of gold and was still on the counter, "No need to look for it."

The shopkeeper wanted to thank him. Zhou Yuan directly interrupted the other party's words to say and asked in a low voice: "There are two men sitting at the table in the middle, one is fat and the other is thin. Will these two people come here at this time tomorrow?"

The shopkeeper held a heavy gold and knew that if he wanted to get it, he would definitely answer the customer's question. Fortunately, the question was very simple. He would be behind the counter almost every day, and he still had an impression of the familiar faces who often went in and out of his inn.

"It should be. They will come to our inn to have a drink and eat at least twenty days a month at this point."

Zhou Yuan nodded and said, "Do you know their origin?"

"I'm not very clear. They seem to be from Yuhuang Jade Store on this street, doing business." The shopkeeper answered questions and answers.

"Jade Shop?" Zhou Yuan said to himself and snorted coldly, "It's a good guise."

The shopkeeper didn't dare to say anything, even though he heard clearly what the guest was talking to himself.

Zhou Yuan didn't ask anything more, and after getting the answer, he left straight away.

"The guest official walked slowly."

The shopkeeper shouted from behind, then lowered his head and continued to make calculations with him.

At first, Wu Fang heard the conversation between the shopkeeper and the strong man. The strong man behind him obviously lowered his voice, but he didn't hear it clearly. He walked back and continued to eat and drink in front of his table.

Half an hour later, when all the guests in the lobby were exposed, Wu Fang walked to the counter and asked the shopkeeper casually: "What did the person wearing the sword tell you before?"

"Report to Mr. Wu," the shopkeeper bowed to Wu Fang respectfully, "He asked the two people who were sitting in the middle table before, the two men who were fat and thin, and asked if these two people often came here to eat and drink, and specifically asked if these two people would come here tomorrow?"

"How did you answer?" Wu Fang asked.

Wu Fang is responsible for the Hongyun Inn and part of the street where the inn is located. At mealtime, he will come to Hongyun Inn, as well as other inns and teahouses in the area, and during mealtimes, he will also go to shops on the street to visit. This is the task assigned by Bai Rumen. He is not sure if there are still people in the area he is responsible for doing the same thing, and only knows that he can fulfill his duties every day.

The situation today was a bit special. The strong man with the sword didn't even serve the main dishes, no one looked for it, and no one contacted him. The strong man suddenly checked the bill and left. He thought that something was wrong at the time. Now he asked the shopkeeper and found that the strong man was indeed here for the two men.

When the strong man entered the store, he noticed that the other party's gaze had been stuck on the two men, the fat and thin, and now his judgment was confirmed through the shopkeeper's words.

The shopkeeper is still worthy of trust because he has already bribed the other party. If the shopkeeper finds that there is something abnormal in the inn, he will report it directly to him.

"I answered truthfully, saying that the two men would come to the inn to have a meal and drink at least twenty days a month. The other party also asked what the two men did, and I said that the two men were doing business in a nearby jade shop."

When Wu Fang heard this, he thought to himself that the strong man was just staring at the two men with fat and thinness, and was inquiring about their origins.

This made Wu Fang's heart move, and he thought to himself, could those two people be suspected?

"Mr. Wu, there is one more thing," the shopkeeper suddenly said, "the guest said to himself."

"Speak quickly." Wu Fang asked, "You can tell you what he has talked to you and what he has said."

"Apart from what I said before, the only thing that the customer said to himself was the one who said to himself. The customer said that the two were doing business in a jade shop? After snorting coldly, he said that the two of them had a good pretext!"

Pretend to the guise?

In other words, the jade shop is just the place where two people hide, one fat and one thin, and the jade businessman is just the disguised identity of two people?

When Wu Fang thought of this, he immediately ordered the shopkeeper: "No mention of today's matter to anyone. I will come back tomorrow. If the strong man arrives in advance, ask you what you have to do and think clearly before answering."

"The villain knows." The shopkeeper responded quickly. He knew that the sect where Wu Fang was located was very powerful and did not dare to offend Wu Fang.

Wu Fang hurriedly left and stopped suddenly when he got outside the inn. Only then did he remember that in terms of his duties, it was time to report the situation to his superiors.

After struggling for a while, Wu Fang temporarily gave up the idea of ​​reporting.

"I just got some information by chance. I don't know if the two people in the jade shop are robbers. I'll report now. If the superior arranges others to come and verify the situation, the situation is fake. My impression of my superiors will become worse. The superiors will think that I am not reliable in my work. If the situation is true, it will be even worse. The credit is all from the superiors and others, and I will not make any contribution."

"Instead of doing this, I might as well go and inquire about the situation first. If I can confirm that the jade shop is a stronghold of the thief forces, I won't be afraid that someone will compete with me for credit."

Wu Fang also wants to get opportunities and gain more benefits by himself.

At the Hongyun Inn, the shopkeeper listens to his own things and will not make any bad things. He doesn’t have to stay at the inn, he can go to the jade shop first.

After making up his mind, Wu Fang returned to his residence, and when he came out, he had become another person, and his appearance was completely different from when he was having a meal in the inn.

The jade shop was not in the surveillance area where he was responsible, but it was not far away. Wu Fang set out and got closer to the jade shop.

The identity of the strong man is unknown, and the authenticity of what he said is unknown. If you think that what the other party said is true, it means that the jade shop is selling dog meat with a sheep's head. The jade business is just a cover. Opening the door to do business, and closing the door may mean what you are doing, so the store is likely to be a stronghold of a certain force.

Maybe it is the stronghold of a certain sect, or the stronghold of a chamber of commerce, but it is also possible that it is the stronghold of a certain traitor.

Wu Fang walked quickly and finally arrived at the door of the jade shop.

He glanced inside and saw that behind the door he opened was an exhibition rack and display cabinet, which were placed on it, such as jade, jade bracelets, jade pendants, etc. The lights in the store were soft, and the business environment was good. It looked like he was specializing in jade business.

There are still seven or eight customers in the store at this moment. The business is not that good, but it is not a matter of depression.
