“Dong dong!”
The knock on the door suddenly sounded.
The three people in the room immediately stopped talking, exchanged a look with each other, and then Zhao Yun shouted to the outside: “Who is it?”
“Express delivery!”
The expressions of the three people relaxed.
Zhao Yun quickly walked out and saw a courier standing outside the door, holding a package in his hand.
The courier looked at Zhao Yun and asked: “Who are you?”
”I live here. Who do you think I am?” Zhao Yun said. “Give me the package.”
The courier didn’t hand the package to Zhao Yun. Instead, he said warily, “You don’t live here.”
Zhao Yun felt a little strange and asked, “How do you know I don’t live here?”
The courier said, “I come here to deliver express every week, but I’ve never seen you before. And it was always Brother Chen who came out to pick up the express.”
”Which Brother Chen?” Zhao Yun asked again.
”Dong Chen!” After the courier finished speaking, he looked at Zhao Yun with a surprised look and asked, “You don’t know Dong Chen? Who are you exactly?”
”Hahaha, how could I not know Dong Chen? He is my cousin.” Zhao Yun smiled and said, “I used to work in my hometown and just came here today.”
”No wonder I said why I haven’t seen you before.” The courier let go of his guard and asked, “Where is Brother Chen?”
”He went out to do something.”
”Then you help sign for Brother Chen.”
The courier handed the package to Zhao Yun.
Zhao Yun took the package and quickly signed it. However, he found that the courier was still standing there and didn’t mean to leave.
Why don’t you leave? Zhao Yun asked looked puzzled.
The courier said, “Before, after Brother Chen signed for the express, he would give me a tip of 100 yuan.”
”Really?” Zhao Yun’s heart moved and he asked, “Then tell me, what does my cousin look like?”
”You don’t even know what your cousin looks like? Are you really Brother Chen’s cousin?”
”Nonsense! If I’m not his cousin, are you? I just want to make sure if you really know my cousin. After all, there are too many liars these days, and I don’t want to be cheated.”
Seeing that Zhao Yun looked a little angry, the courier smiled and said, “So that’s the case. Alright, let me describe Brother Chen’s appearance to you.”
”Brother Chen has a round face, very short hair, and there is also a mole the size of a little finger on his chin. Right?”
”And?”
”And Brother Chen’s complexion is a little paler than that of ordinary people. I asked Brother Chen before, and he said that he had a serious illness when he was a child, and his complexion has been like that after he recovered from the illness. Right?”
”Then do you know how tall my cousin is?”
The courier looked at Zhao Yun again and said, “You are a head taller than Brother Chen.”
”It seems that you didn’t lie to me. You really know my cousin.” Zhao Yun took out a red banknote and handed it to the courier.
”Thank you.” The courier left happily on his bike.
Zhao Yun returned to the room and asked, “You all heard what the courier said just now, right?”
Ye Qiu and the Dragon King nodded.
”It seems that this Dong Chen should be a member of the Wu God Sect.” Zhao Yun said.
“Whether he is a member of the Witch God Sect or not, since we have already mastered his appearance characteristics, then immediately issue a wanted order in the Jianghu and ask the brothers to help find him.” The Dragon King instructed Zhao Yun and said, “Tell the brothers that if anyone finds Dong Chen, there will be a reward of one million.”
“Yes.” Zhao Yun took out his mobile phone and quickly dialed a phone number.
At this time, Ye Qiu’s eyes fell on the package.
It was square and tightly wrapped. He weighed it in his hand and found that the package was not heavy, so he tore open the tape.
“Be careful.” The Dragon King reminded.
“Hmm.” Ye Qiu’s movements were very light and slow. It took thirty seconds to tear open the tape on the package.
After opening the box, it was found that there were two stacks of cash inside.
Ye Qiu took it in his hand and looked at it carefully. The cash was all real, a total of twenty thousand yuan.
“Strange, there are still people mailing cash these days?” Ye Qiu muttered in a low voice.
The Dragon King smiled and said, “This is actually not strange. Now the express delivery is very developed, and all kinds of things are mailed.”
Ye Qiu then said, “The sender mailed cash to Dong Chen. It seems that their relationship is not shallow.”
The Dragon King nodded slightly, very much agreeing with Ye Qiu’s statement, and said, “The previous courier said that he would come here to deliver express every week. Let’s make a bold inference. If the courier delivers cash every time, that is to say, Dong Chen will receive at least 80,000 yuan in cash every month. Then the question comes, who will give him so much cash? And what is the purpose of these cash?”
“Could it be the activity funds?” Ye Qiu asked.
“I think you guessed right.” The Dragon King said, “This is the Jiangzhou branch of the Witch God Sect. Besides Dong Chen, there must be others. They need to spend money every month. This sum of money should be the activity funds given to them by the Witch God Sect.”
“I still have a doubt. If this sum of money is really the activity funds given by the Witch God Sect to the Jiangzhou branch, then why don’t they transfer it to Dong Chen through the bank or Alipay, but adopt this method of mailing cash?”
“I think the Witch God Sect may think that the mailing method is safer. After all, online payment and bank transfer are both easy to check.”
Ye Qiu took another look at the package. The mailing address on it was blurred, and only the word “Jiangzhou” could be faintly seen at the beginning. That is to say, this express was sent from a certain place in Jiangzhou.
Moreover, the mailing date was eight o’clock this morning, which means that the sender didn’t know that Dong Chen had left the branch.
Ye Qiu hurriedly asked, “Dragon King, can we find out the address of this sender?”
“Do you want to find the sender?”
“Yes.” Ye Qiu said, “According to our previous reasoning, we can draw the conclusion that this sender is most likely also a member of the Witch God Sect. If we can find him, we may have unexpected gains.”
“Your train of thought is very good. Let’s take two steps at the same time. One is to look for Dong Chen, and the other is to look for this sender. No matter which one we find, we can follow the vine to find the murderer who assassinated the Ninth Thousand Years Old.” The Dragon King said to Zhao Yun who had just finished making a phone call: “I’ll leave these two things to you. Is there any problem?”
“No problem. If this sender’s address is real, it will be found soon.” Zhao Yun started making phone calls again to arrange for people to look for the sender’s address.
Time passed by minute by minute.
In the blink of an eye, they had been staying in this courtyard for almost an hour.
Zhao Yun’s phone kept ringing, but no particularly valuable clue was found.
Ye Qiu decided not to wait any longer and used the tracking talisman again, wanting to track down Dong Chen’s whereabouts.
He quietly put his hands in front of him to form seals and chanted spells in his mouth. Suddenly——
Puff!
A mouthful of blood spurted out.
Ye Qiu’s eyes went dark and he lost consciousness.
