After leaving the shipyard, Zhan Chen went back to clear his mind and determine the next plan of action. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info From the current point of view, Xu Xiao is the most suspicious, and everything will revolve around investigating him.

On the second day, Zhan Chen began to inspect the docks, and when he passed the dock, he saw two boatmen resting and chatting with each other, so his heart lit up, and he stepped forward.

Since Zhan Chen had not yet summoned everyone to disclose his identity, the two of them did not know him, and they still went their own way and chatted lively.

Zhan Chen approached them and began to greet: "Hello two." ”

The two closed the chatterbox, turned their heads to look at him, and asked, "Senior, do you have anything to do?"

"It's nothing, I just arrived here yesterday, I don't know anything, I see that the two of you are chatting energetically, and I want to inquire about something. ”

"I see, you are looking for the right person, there is nothing I Wu Xiaoliu don't know about the dock dock, just ask." "One of the handsome offspring seemed to be very enthusiastic.

Zhan Chen smiled slightly: "Then I can't be angry, I heard that I was robbed here a month ago?"

Wu Xiaoliu immediately replied: "Isn't it? The loss is serious, I happened to be on duty at night, and I saw the whole process." So, you're asking me the right person today. ”

"That's great, you tell me quickly. ”

"No problem, that night, it was really dark and windy, I was busy on the docks, and it was quiet in the dock at first, and I couldn't hear any movement at all. Suddenly, I heard a commotion in the material warehouse, followed by a fire—"

"Wait. Zhan Chen suddenly interrupted him and asked, "Material warehouse, don't we suddenly remember that we all have Qiankun bags, what do we need to do with the warehouse?"

"Senior, you are speaking in layman's terms, how can those precious materials be put in the Qiankun bag? Isn't this just convenient for some people with ulterior motives to fill their pockets?"

Zhan Chen thought about it, it was really like this.

"Therefore, every time Ningfu sends someone to send materials, there must be several people accompanying them, just to supervise each other, and the materials must be stored in a unified warehouse. After warehousing, it is necessary to register and make a book, and send a special person to manage it in a unified manner, and this account is done clearly. ”

Zhan Chen nodded and muttered, "I see. ”

"But I'm going to tell you, even if that's the case, there's something wrong with that?"

"Oh, what's going on?"

"That's Xu Xiao. ”

Zhan Chen came to his senses as soon as he heard Xu Xiao's name, and now he wanted to know more about this person's situation.

"Speaking of that Xu Xiao, he turned out to be a martial artist in Ningfu, and he didn't have any skills——"

"How can you become an overseer without craftsmanship?" said Zhan Chenqi.

"Isn't it because he has a relationship, he was introduced to the shipyard by Wei Luo, relying on the relationship of the deputy director of the shipyard, he became a supervisor at once, and then learned while managing in the shipyard, and gradually mastered a little eyesight by him. ”

"Speaking of which, this overseer is an invincible fat shortage, not only all the shipwrights who work in the shipyard have to curry favor with him, but also he is the one who goes to the warehouse to get materials, and how much he wants to take depends on him. So he privately reaped a lot of benefits for himself. And this time the material library was robbed, and a handful of cremation was reduced to ashes, which was a great thing for him, and there was no proof of death. Wu Xiaoliu said.

Hearing this, Zhan Chen was thinking: It's really strange, according to Wu Xiaoliu, the robbers burned the material library, and the evidence of Xu Xiao's corruption should have disappeared, so he should be able to sit back and relax. And before, the rudder in the shipyard was also well placed there, so why did he still be so panicked that day? Zhan Chen really couldn't figure it out.

At this moment, I heard Wu Xiaoliu's companion shouting: "Xiaoliu, don't talk nonsense if you don't have evidence, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth." ”

Wu Xiaoliu was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said, "That's it, don't talk about this." ”

Zhan Chen then asked, "Then let's talk about the situation that night." Didn't you notice anyone intruding into the dockyard before? There were more than a hundred of them, so there would be a little bit of movement, right?"

Wu Xiaoliu tried his best to recall, but still shook his head, and said: "Eh, after your reminder, I really think it's a little weird, that group of bandits seems to have fallen from the sky, coming and going without a trace, so many patrols are arranged in our dock to avoid it, without making any sound, until it arrives at the material warehouse guarded by heavy soldiers, it is not discovered, which is really incomprehensible." ”

Hearing this, Zhan Chen seemed to have a flash of inspiration in his mind: "No! This is absolutely normal, according to Wu Xiaoliu's statement, it is impossible for a group of robbers who broke in from outside to act so secretly!"

He stood up and asked Wu Xiaoliu, "May I ask where is the burned material library?"

Wu Xiaoliu pointed to a place with a bunch of houses and said, "Oh, it's there, you can understand it in the past, and now that the entire material library has been reduced to a ruin, it should be easy to find." ”

"Thank you!"

After leaving the dock, Zhan Chen hurried to the place indicated by Wu Xiaoliu, and after looking for a while, he found the dilapidated old warehouse between several buildings.

Standing in front of the ruins, he couldn't help but ponder again: "This is really strange, the warehouse was built in such a hidden place, how did those bandits find it at once? There must be someone who knows this dock as a guide! Could it be that someone who once worked in the Ning Mansion joined the bandits?"

"It's not impossible. But it is more likely that this insider should be the one who worked in the dockyard at all! It was he who revealed the details of the dock to the robbers outside. This person must also be familiar with the situation in the entire dockyard and be familiar with the guards and guards everywhere. That's why the robbers know so much about the entire dock, so they can sneak into the dock quietly, quickly touch the warehouse, and loot the materials inside. ”

Somehow, Xu Xiao's face resurfaced in Zhan Chen's mind, and he couldn't help muttering, "Could it be him?" Everything seems to point to Xu Xiao now. ”

However, there was another thing that made Zhan Chen puzzled, since the purpose of the robbers was money, why did they target the shipyard?

Could it be that they still want to take Tongtian Shenzhou away? Zhan Chen's mind suddenly had a ridiculous thought, but then he laughed and said to himself, "How is this possible? Since the robbers have insiders to cooperate, it is impossible not to know that Tongtian Shenzhou cannot be taken away. ”

However, the question is back to square one, why did they go to the extra mile to attack shipyards with less "oil and water" after they ransacked the material warehouse?

This not only delays the time, but also greatly increases the risk of the operation, in short, if it is yourself, you will definitely run away as soon as the robbery is over.

"It seems that there are still many doubts about this matter, but no matter what, there must be something wrong with Xu Xiao, I have to keep an eye on him, maybe there will be new discoveries soon!" Zhan Chen thought secretly.

In the next few days, he especially began to pay attention to the movements of this Xu Xiao, and asked Zhou Ziru to help him pay attention to it. Now, in this dock, Zhou Ziru can be regarded as the person he trusts the most.

However, for a few days, Xu Xiao has been decent every day, and there seems to be nothing abnormal.

This once made Zhan Chen wonder if his inference was wrong, but he still did not relax his grasp of Xu Xiao's movements, because he firmly believed in a proverb: It is the fox that always shows its tail sometimes!

The days passed, and Zhan Chen's life in the dock was also uneventful. Today, everyone in the dockyard knows who he is. When he ran to the dock again, even Wu Xiaoliu, who was talking a lot, nodded when he saw him, respectfully, and when he spoke, he also paid great attention to the measure, and never wanted to find out more useful information from his mouth.

In the blink of an eye, a month had passed, and the great project of building the Heavenly Divine Boat had reached its final stage, and it would soon be able to leave the shipyard and sail on the wide Yuanhe River.

But at this time, Xu Xiao began to get nervous, restless every day, as if he was worried about something happening. He began to make frequent mistakes in his work, became irritable, and lashed out at the boatmen at every turn, even punishing them. The boatmen dared to be angry but did not dare to speak, and the sense of accomplishment and joy that was about to complete the Tongtian Shenzhou was also diluted by half.

On the eve of the completion of the Tongtian Shenzhou, Xu Xiao finally couldn't help it, he chose the moment when the dock guards relaxed their vigilance the most in one day, and began to act, walking straight towards the gate of the dock. But he was stopped by the guards there.

Seeing this situation, he couldn't help but scold: "How did you guys do it? Don't you know who I am?!"

The guards looked embarrassed and said, "Supervisor Xu, of course we know, but you also have to consider a few of us, the war manager has repeatedly issued five orders before, and no one can leave the dock at will, unless he has an edict signed by the chief steward himself." Now that you're leaving, shouldn't you show us your message?"

"I see, then naturally it is necessary to do it according to the will of the war manager. I'll go back first. Xu Xiao said as he turned around and left.

However, instead of "going home", he turned to the foot of a city wall, and quietly took out a sharp dagger, and looked at the sentry standing guard above, and a trace of fierceness flashed in his eyes.

Suddenly, he jumped onto the city wall, a city wall more than twenty meters high, for him, a high-ranking powerhouse of the Martial Emperor, it was an overnight thing.

When the sentry on the city wall saw him coming up, he wanted to scream, but Xu Xiao covered his mouth, raised his knife in his hand, and killed him energetically, after killing the sentry, Xu Xiao didn't dare to stay, immediately jumped off the city wall, and rushed towards the jungle in the distance at his fastest speed.

Sure enough, he had barely run far when a siren sounded over the entire dockyard, and the sentry's body was found!

Xu Xiao was even more frightened, and fled forward desperately, he had already seen the jungle in front of his eyes, as long as he held on for another second or two, he could completely disappear into the grass.

Just when he thought he had succeeded, he heard a loud cry from behind him: "Supervisor Xu, where are you going to escape?!"
