Chapter 44 Men understand men best
After showing their trial credentials, Tang Longhui and Tang Yue entered Chongming County.
"Xiaohui, where should we start investigating?"
Since he had chosen the open card, it meant that he would face the attack of the Black Glue Court at any time, so Tang Yue immediately went into alert after entering Chongming County.
"Don't worry, Sister Yue"
Seeing Tang Yue's fearful look, Tang Longhui consoled her.
"As long as the person in charge here is not stupid, he will never confront us head-on. We have been on the video before, and based on our performance in the video, unless five or six high-level mages attack together, they will not be able to stop us.
Do you think the Black Glue Court can send such a strong force to stay here?"
"Too"
Tang Yue felt that she was indeed a little too nervous. She was on the side of justice, and it shouldn't be these gutter rats who were nervous.
"They won't confront us head-on unless they have nowhere to retreat. Given the nature of the Black Glue Court, they might resort to dirty tricks like poisoning or sneak attacking us.
Don’t forget, we are in the open now, while Vinyl Court is in the dark. If they want to attack us, they need to make a breakthrough in our diet.”
"I see. Fortunately, we brought some dry food before coming here."
It was Tang Longhui who reminded Tang Yue of this. Originally, Tang Yue had never thought about this problem.
But thinking about it now, I am really scared. If she were Black Gel Court, tampering with her diet would definitely be the most effective method.
Although Tang Yue, as a judge, has received relevant training in identifying poisons, there are so many poisons in the world that Tang Yue has no confidence that she can identify all of them.
If this happened because of being poisoned, she would be so depressed that she would die.
"Well, anyway, it's better to be careful. The key is the power in the dark. They won't take direct action in the open.
As for our destination, I think we should go to Zhenming Town first."
"Go to Zhenming Town first? But the violent water wasn't found there, right?"
"Haha, it's just a diversionary tactic."
Tang Longhui smiled disdainfully.
"Although these rats are clamoring all day long, they are just a bunch of cowards. If they really have the guts, they can do anything.
Those guys who appear powerful but are actually weak will definitely put their own safety first when carrying out orders.
If they release the violent water in their base, won't these people worry that Chongming County's defenses won't be able to hold up and monsters will rush in?
The monsters would not let Black Glue Court go just because he helped them, so the most likely possibility was that it was just a smokescreen.
To be precise, whoever comes to investigate there is the judge or official. "
"You mean they sent people to wait there? As long as someone investigates, they can find the secret investigation of the Inquisition or officials?"
"Yes, that's what I mean. These rats are really good at plotting and scheming.
But Sister Yue, if we don't want to be confused by them, we must be clear about what we want to do.
The raging water is not the point; the point is the possible location of the stronghold here.
Even if the Wild Water is indeed the base of the Black Glue Court, it is already clear. Why should we rush to investigate? We can just notify the Inquisition to gather forces.
Besides, they definitely have more than one base, so no matter how you think about it, there is no need to go there.
The place we are going to now is Zuodao Ranch in Zhenming Town. The ranch here has beautiful scenery and is very popular with tourists.
There are a lot of people coming and going here, so it's normal to see unfamiliar faces. Plus, it's a private club, if it were me, I would definitely prioritize this place." Tang Longhui said with certainty.
"I see." Tang Yue nodded in agreement. "Xiaohui, you are really good. You sorted out the clues in just a few words. If it were me, I would really have no idea where to start."
"Hehe, now you've seen how powerful your man is."
"Go away!" Tang Yue rolled her eyes at Tang Longhui.
The two then boarded a sightseeing bus to Zhenming Town.
On the way, Tang Longhui chatted with the bus driver, mainly asking what interesting places there were in Zhenming Town.
The bus driver was also very enthusiastic and recommended many attractions to Tang Longhui.
It didn't take long before the bus arrived at the Zhenming Town stop. After saying goodbye to the driver, Tang Longhui and Tang Yue got off the bus.
Two-thirds of the land in Zhenming Town is pasture, mainly raising cattle, horses and sheep. Walking along the way, you can see the cattle and sheep in the wind, even though this is just the mouth of the Yangtze River into the sea.
"What's wrong? You're not the kind of person who likes to make friends. Why are you chatting so happily with a strange driver?"
Tang Yue asked suspiciously.
"Don't you think it's strange?"
Tang Longhui did not explain, but asked Tang Yue a question instead.
"Strange? What's so strange about that? Your behavior is strange."
"I remember when we got on the bus, we all said we were a couple visiting here. You said since we chose to take the bus to Zhenming Town, we should at least know what attractions there are."
"You mean the driver didn't suspect anything?"
"That's right"
"But what does that prove?"
"What can it prove? At least it can prove that we are not in the wrong place, or we can be 100% sure that the Black Glue Court has a strong control here. We may have to ask for support."
Tang Longhui said lightly.
"??????"
Do you want to listen to what you are saying!
Before Tang Yue exploded, Tang Longhui hurriedly explained,
"We are a couple to the outside world, and you are so beautiful that there are few men who would not be attracted to you.
To put it simply, the driver's eyes lit up when he first saw you.
When I asked if there were any good attractions here, the driver didn't say why he didn't make any travel plans when bringing his girlfriend out, or he said that I was an incompetent boyfriend and had no plans for a date.
Anyway, that's what he said to me.
It would be fine if he was an introvert who didn't want to meddle in other people's business, but seeing how talkative he was in the car and how he glanced at you from time to time but didn't say anything, you could tell that this driver must have been instructed to pay attention to our every move.
Or rather, all the tour bus drivers on the island were instructed to keep an eye on us.”
At this moment, Tang Longhui was reasoning about his recent discovery as if he were possessed by Sherlock Holmes.
"Then according to what you said, is it possible that he is a member of the Black Glue Court?"
"Well, Sister Yue, let me ask you, if you join an organization like the Black Glue Court where your life is in danger at any time for your own selfish reasons, or to fulfill your own desires, will you quietly be an ordinary person?"
"Of course not. I'm already risking my life to stay in Vinyl Court, why should I still do the lowest level job?"
