Jiapingguan Chronicle

Chapter 2351 Bring a Message 13.0

"Japanese?" Shen Cha was stunned for a moment after hearing Qiu Zhi's words. He looked at Jin Miaomiao who was also stunned beside him, and confirmed with Qiu Zhi again, "Did you see clearly? Are you sure it's the Japanese?"

"Replying to the General, I'm not sure, I just have a suspicion."

"Why do you suspect the Japanese?" Jin Miaomiao looked at Qiu Zhi, "Did you hear them talking?"

"I heard it." Qiu Zhi's expression was very helpless. "General, General Jin, I can only say that they look and sound like Japanese, but I really can't confirm it. Judging from their height and appearance, they are more in line with the characteristics of Japanese. And when I hear them speak, it is the legendary gibberish and vague accent."

"Hearing your description, it does look alike."

"Yes." Qiu Zhi nodded. "General Jin told the brothers before that the Japanese have a very obvious characteristic when they speak, that is, they seem to have something in their mouths and never open their mouths, so it is difficult to hear what they are saying." He looked at Shen Cha, then at Jin Miaomiao, "This third group of people fits this characteristic very well, so I boldly speculate that they should be Japanese."

"Have you gone to the city gate to inquire? Are there any Japanese entering the city?"

"The person has been sent out, but he hasn't come back yet." Qiu Zhi sighed, "I originally wanted to go to the Duke's Mansion to meet the general and report this matter, but I didn't expect to meet him here. As for whether he is Japanese, I have to ask the general and General Jin to go and see for themselves."

"Thank you for your hard work!" Jin Miaomiao patted Qiu Zhi's shoulder, "If that's the case, leave a few brothers behind to guard this area. No one is allowed to enter, but not leave." She looked at Shen Cha, "If there really are three groups of people, I'm afraid our number is not enough."

"We must capture the Japanese, and we must also prevent them from committing suicide by taking poison." Shen Cha looked at Meilin and Hongye and sighed softly, "In this way, the joke has become reality. I'm afraid we really have to strip them naked on the spot."

Hongye and Merlin also expressed their helplessness. Who could have imagined that their casual joke would become reality.

Qiu Zhi left ten people behind and continued patrolling with the other brothers. Jin Miaomiao arranged these ten people to guard all the entrances and exits of the street.

Although it is curfew, apart from the night watchmen walking on the street, generally no one will appear. However, some dishonest guys will be caught during the daily curfew, so it is better to seal off this place just in case.

After arranging all this, Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao took Meilin and Hongye towards the old house. When they got close to the old house, they were stopped by a dark shadow who was lying in ambush. They entered the old house from a secret passage and successfully met up with Ying Er who was monitoring them in the east wing of the front yard.

"Boss, Miaomiao!" Ying Er saluted Shen Cha and Jin Miaomiao, raised his chin towards Hongye and Meilin as a greeting, and said in a low voice, "It's not quite what we expected. There are three groups of people in total." He held up three fingers, "Those who came to grab the boxes, those who came to hand over the boxes, and..." He sighed heavily, "The Japanese."

"Are they really Japanese?"

"Yes!" Ying Er nodded, "I saw it very clearly, it is indeed the Japanese, and we are old acquaintances."

"An old acquaintance?" Shen Cha frowned slightly. "It can't be the one who uses the scimitar. What's his name?"

"The moon head." Jin Miaomiao smiled at Shen Cha, "Yanyou beside Wanyan Qingmu, his kung fu is not very good, but he is very slippery. We have tried to catch him several times but failed." "That's him." Ying Er sighed, "We can't let them get away this time, especially this moon head. He has already delivered himself to the door, and letting him go would be disrespectful to him." He looked at Shen Cha, "Don't worry, boss, everything has been arranged."

"Yeah!" Shen Cha nodded, "Where are they now?"

"In the main hall, our brothers are watching from the beams, because there can't be too many people there, so."

"Okay, I see." Shen Cha nodded. "What are they doing there?"

"They must have had an argument. Moon Head thought that the two groups were deceived by us and that the things in the box were not real, so he wanted to lead people to dig again to make sure there was nothing underneath." Shadow Two whispered, "This Moon Head is as suspicious as ever. The brothers were almost discovered by him before, but luckily we hid quickly."

"He is Wanyan Qingmu's right-hand man. It is understandable that he is suspicious. After all, he has escaped from us so many times, so he is quite capable. But..." Shen Cha touched his chin, "Since he appears here, it can further confirm our previous speculation."

"Yes!" Jin Miaomiao nodded, "Wanyan Qingmu betrayed Master Falian, and this group of people should have escaped death. But why did they run to our place? And how did they get in?"

"Don't worry!" Shen Cha patted Jin Miaomiao's arm. "Catch him and interrogate him, and the truth will be revealed." She looked at Ying Er, "I have something to tell you, but only if you don't shout."

"Boss, are you talking about the killers in the dungeon who committed suicide by taking poison?" Seeing Shen Cha nod, Ying Er spread his hands, "Before you came in, I just received the news. When Lao Wu sent someone to tell me, I was really surprised, but then I thought about it. They are assassins. When they were trained, I think the first thing they learned was how to kill themselves quickly after being caught. There are various ways to kill themselves, and we can't defend against them. Thinking about it this way, it's not surprising at all."

"You're pretty optimistic?"

"It's not that we are too optimistic. We have already tried our best. They found an opportunity to commit suicide a few days after being captured. It was because we took good precautions, wasn't it?" Ying Er looked outside. "However, we already know what we should know. Whether they are dead or alive, it doesn't affect us much."

"If that's the case, then there's no problem." Hongye leaned lazily to one side, "What's going on outside now? Aren't they still arguing?"

"From the noise, the quarrel is not over yet. Moon Head has brought three people with him, and there are more than ten people over there. Whether it's a quarrel or a fight, they are at a disadvantage. Who knows, Moon Head might be killed by his own people before we show up."

"That's unlikely." Merlin shook her head slightly. "If a fight really breaks out, it will alert us, and they won't get any good results. Unless..." She moved closer to Ying Er and looked outside. "Someone wants to fish in troubled waters, sell out his colleagues, use them to hold us back, and run away with the box." She turned to look at Shen Cha. "Boss, isn't this consistent with Moon Head's usual approach?"

"It's a pity that his wishful thinking failed." Hongye sneered, "Anyone can escape from us, but he definitely can't."

As soon as Hongye finished speaking, she heard bursts of cursing coming from the main hall. She curiously moved closer to Ying Er and Merlin, and saw a figure rushing out from the main hall into the yard. Then, more than a dozen shadows rushed out and surrounded the first black shadow.
