The Tale of the Kraken

Chapter 182 Purchase Price
Lu Shi's words chilled the atmosphere in the shop instantly, and after a long while, Yuan Mu sighed and said, "If this is the case, then let's treat it as a gun."

"Yang Yang, you and Ning Yuan go to that clinic again at night, and you must figure out his supply channels and his relationship with Taoism."

After thinking about it for a while, he said to the two of them: "Since Chang Yun gave you the string of beads, he must have known about it. own purpose."

"How did he know that we would go to that clinic?" After listening to his words, Yang Yang asked a little puzzled: "Anyway, this is all a coincidence! He pinned his hopes on such a big coincidence, you Don't you think it's too weird?"

"No, you have to know that there are many monsters in the capital, but not many, and everyone will communicate with each other about anything."

As Yuan Mu said, he glanced out the window: "Although we went to him to ask about the Dao Sect, but based on his understanding of us, he knew that we would never obediently wait for the Dao Sect's investigation results to come out. We will definitely take the time to look into these things.”

"It has to be said that his understanding of us is quite correct, because we are indeed investigating these things. In this place in Shanghai, as long as we investigate, it is only a matter of time before we find that clinic. And the appearance of Lu Shi , just opened a window for us to find this place earlier and find this line."

His words made Yang Yang fall into silence.Ning Yuan, on the other hand, said after listening, "I think...he probably didn't insist on asking Yang Yang to go to the clinic."

Ning Yuan said, glanced at everyone, and explained: "I think the reason why he gave Yang Yang this bracelet is far from being as simple as asking him to check a clinic, because as Yang Yang said, the chance of this coincidence is too high Yes. Even though he knew that we would investigate, he didn’t know how our progress was. This time we were lucky and found that clinic the first time. What if we were the last to investigate that place? Or, Before we even started to check the clinic, the results of his investigation came out, and it seems to be very satisfactory to us? If so..."

"So you mean...?" Yuan Mu widened his eyes in shock after hearing his words.

"Yes." Ning Yuan nodded, confirming Yuan Mu's thoughts: "I think that many places in Shanghai are related to Taoist affairs, and this string of beads is the way to contact them. And according to my observation, Chen The doctor is actually an ordinary person, and he doesn't know anyone in the Taoist sect at all, I mean, he doesn't really know the person's name, who he looks like, he uses beads to identify it."

Since Ning Yuan's ability to observe people has never been weak, his inference was approved by Yuan Mu. Several people discussed it and finally decided to let Yang Yang go with him again at night.

This time, in order to prevent accidents, Lu Shi was asked to accompany them, but instead of going in, he would meet them in the alley at the back door, so that if there was any accident, at least there would be someone to take care of them.

"What about you?" Yang Yang looked at Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu and asked, "Aren't you going?"

"Since you can find him, I believe it will be a matter of time before people from the Taoist sect find him." Yuan Mu looked at Yang Yang and gave him a comforting smile, "In order to prevent people from the Taoist sect from recognizing Ying Long and me, we will I will meet you at a farther place, but we will not go if it is near the clinic."

"Okay then." As long as Yuan Mu and Yu Zhongwu are around, Yang Yang will feel at ease. As for the distance, in his heart, those two thousand-year-old demons probably have a solution.

Several people here agreed on a plan of action, and when the boss of the clinic saw Yang Yang and Ning Yuan coming to his door at night, his heart was broken.

He welcomed the two of them in with trepidation, and told the little girl at the front desk to enter the reception room after she got off work and closed the door.

Yang Yang looked at his bitter face, finally held back his smile, pretended to be expressionless, and said to him: "I don't have anything to do today, I just ask you a few questions, and you just answer them carefully. What will happen to you."

"Ask, my lord! As long as I know, I will know everything without my words!" Dr. Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that Yang Yang was only here to ask questions, and looked at him and swore: "If I tell a lie , there must be five thunders from the sky, and you will die!"

Yang Yang chuckled lightly when he heard the words, he turned his head and glanced at Ning Yuan instead, and then put the hand with the beads in front of him, rubbing it lightly.

Dr. Chen watched his movements, swallowed, and was about to continue to show his loyalty when he heard Ning Yuan's disdainful voice.

He said: "Okay, save your saliva, we don't need you to show your loyalty, I ask a question now, you answer one, don't talk redundant nonsense, and don't try to deceive us. Otherwise..."

Ning Yuan didn't say the next thing, but Dr. Chen must have understood it very well. I saw him nodding his head, but he didn't dare to say another word.

Obviously Yang Yang was very satisfied with his performance, he smiled slightly and said to Ning Yuan, "Ask."

The latter bowed slightly to him, turned to Dr. Chen and said, "When we came here this morning, we went back and looked at the things you gave us, and there was indeed no problem, but we are strange...how do you There will be this thing? Logically speaking, this is not something you should get involved in, right?"

"Yes... I'm sorry." Doctor Chen collapsed on the ground when he heard his words. He looked at the two people, kowtowed, and kept saying, "I'm stupid, I'm obsessed with money, and I was confused for a while! meeting……"

"Stop!" Who knew that Ning Yuan didn't listen at all, and shouted directly: "Shut up!"

Dr. Chen was taken aback, closed his mouth, and looked at Ning Yuan in horror, with no blood on his face.

"Have you forgotten what I just said?" Ning Yuan looked at him and said, "I told you, don't talk nonsense, just tell us what's going on honestly!"

"Yes, yes, it's my fault!" Doctor Chen immediately admitted his mistake and said, "Your Excellency..."

"Do you want me to say more? Quickly answer the question, where do you source your goods from!" Ning Yuan shouted loudly upon seeing this.

"Yes... it was bought from a fellow Taoist."

Dr. Chen learned his lesson this time, and never said irrelevant nonsense anymore, but told the ins and outs of the matter with his concise words:

"I met a fellow Taoist some time ago. He said that he had a batch of goods that he wanted to sell. I asked out of curiosity. After knowing that it was a leeches, I became more thoughtful and ate the goods."

"Then how much is this batch of goods in total? How much is left?" Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and asked, fearing that Dr. Chen would conceal something, he said comfortingly: "Don't be afraid, we are here today to investigate this batch Damn, that fellow daoist of yours...is on a wrong path."

What he said was not clear, but left a lot of room for people to imagine, especially Dr. Chen, who has a ghost in his heart, couldn't help but twitched in his heart, and immediately said: "This batch of goods is not a lot, there are only four pieces. , I sold two of them in batches, and now I have two more in my hand."

"Oh? Then..." Ning Yuan said, glanced at Yang Yang, as if asking for his opinion, and after seeing the latter nod, he asked again: "Then the remaining two, are they still alive? "

"Alive and alive!" Doctor Chen nodded immediately after hearing this, "I keep them in the bathtub at my house. If your lord wants, I can go back and fetch them for you."

"Don't worry about it." At this moment, Yang Yang, who had been silent all this time, said, he glanced at Ning Yuan, and then said, "It's good that you are still alive. How much money did you spend on the purchase, we will pay you back."

Yang Yang actually had his reasons for saying this.Just as soon as he entered the door, Ning Yuan seemed to take the lead in everything, but he was mainly responsible for questioning. These were all arranged by them before.

Because Yang Yang's acting skills and on-the-spot response are still a bit poor, so after discussion, several people decided to let Yang Yang play the role of an aloof adult who doesn't need to talk much throughout the whole process, as long as he glances at Ning Yuan or nods at the right time, the rest During the time, his main task was to be in a daze and play with the black gold string in his hand.

And this sentence, Yang Yang and the others had thought about it before.In this way, they can determine how much profit those people in the Taoist sect have made from it, so that they can identify the sellers and buyers of those monsters.

Because things that are too expensive are naturally unaffordable for ordinary people, and things that are too cheap may not be appreciated by serious Taoists, so this price can determine many things.

Furthermore, Yang Yang's words made it clear that they were not here to cause trouble. While soothing Dr. Chen, they could also coax him to tell more things.

As for the money...Yang Yang smiled softly. The card Dr. Chen gave them before had a full 120 million in it. He didn't believe that the purchase price was more expensive than what Dr. Chen paid for his own life.

The result was as expected by Yang Yang. Doctor Chen said, "Four leeches, 25 each, he sold a total of four to me, with a 90% discount, a total of [-]."

"It's quite cheap." Yang Yang smiled when he heard the words, and turned his head to look at Ning Yuan. The latter took out the card knowingly, handed it to Dr. Chen and said, "I said I bought it for you, you can go and swipe it yourself."

"No! No, no!" Seeing that they really wanted to give money, Dr. Chen was terrified, and immediately waved his hands and said, "My lord, stop joking. I am very grateful that you can prove my innocence by investigating the case. How dare you pay me?" Take your money!"

Seeing this, Ning Yuan raised his eyebrows and took the card back.

Yang Yang stopped rubbing the beads with his hands, and said to him, "Go ahead."
