Add some practice: start with a lucid dream

Thinking of this, Chen Ze continued to put it together, with fewer and fewer scraps of paper remaining, and his speed became faster and faster.

Until the last spark disappeared, a complete postal money order appeared in front of Chen Ze through the light curtain.

And the column of the remitter’s name clearly says Zhang Wei!

Chen Ze could tell with his toes that this was a fake name!

There are countless people named Zhang Wei in the entire Gan Province!
The light curtain in front of him suddenly dissipated, and Chen Ze exited the dreamland.

In the real world, Chen Ze opened his eyes again.

The remitter’s intention of using the name Zhang Wei was simply to hide his identity.

Even the name of the payee may be in question.

But no matter what, the payment address will never be wrong.

Otherwise, who should the money be sent to?
In other words, although the sender of the letter died, Chen Ze's clues were not broken.

The payment address on the remittance slip is Chen Ze's next destination.

After placing the trash can back on the balcony, Chen Ze returned to the house and restored everything to its original state.

As for the skeleton, Chen Ze decided to keep it as is and just took away the gold tooth.

After all, the identity of the sender is currently unknown, and it won't be too late for Chen Ze to come back and dispose of the bones after he investigates everything.

But before leaving, Chen Ze walked around the skeleton and stopped in front of the entrance door.

There is a framed oil painting hanging directly above the door frame. The height is just right so that it can be easily seen every time before going out.

Having said that, the paintings hanging in the house have different styles, ranging from realistic landscapes to two-dimensional ladies.

But this painting gave Chen Ze a special feeling.

The painting style is quite sombre and impressionistic, with abstract elements.

The background of the painting is clearly green mountains and green waters, but the color is gloomy and depressing, making it difficult for people to associate positive emotions.

The main subject is a group of people standing in front of the mountain, seemingly a large group.

These people are tall, short, fat and thin, and dressed in different styles. Only one feature is strikingly consistent.

They all covered their faces.

Mask, hood, disfigurement, paint, cloud, long hair.
This group of people was like the Eight Immortals crossing the sea, all of them covering their faces.

Although the degree varies, none of them can be seen as male, female, old or young.

Some people were covered tightly, while others had their eyes exposed, such as a figure in the corner of the front row with long hair disheveled and wearing a mask.

Chen Ze recognized this figure at a glance. It was probably the sender he had tracked down all the way.

That is, the artist who created this painting himself is also the skeleton at Chen Ze's feet.

Who is this painting?
The mysterious organization behind them?
king?
Chen Ze raised his hand and stroked his chin. He believed that the placement of this painting here was no accident, but had a special meaning.

Unfortunately, there are no text labels around the frame, so no more information can be learned.

With a silent sigh, Chen Ze took one last look inside the house, walked out quickly, and locked the two doors again.

After doing all this, Chen Ze glanced at the broken window at the end of the corridor. Unimaginable force suddenly burst out from his feet, and his whole body was shot out of the window like a Dongfeng missile.

buzzing-

The whole building was trembling slightly, the residents still in the house were a little surprised and undecided, and many people were complaining in their hearts.

How can a plane fly so low and disturb people!
Do you have any sense of public morality?
It’s just that I haven’t heard that this is a route?
The reason why Chen Ze is so quick with his hands and feet is because he cares very much about the payment address on the postal money order.

The payment address is in Luxi County, Pingxiang, Gan Province, and there.
It is the hometown of Qigong master Wang Lin!

After going around in a big circle, in the end the key lies with Wang Lin!

On the same day, in the afternoon.

Luxi County is not far from the small county town where the mysterious sender is located, so it didn't take long for Chen Ze to get here.

"Wow—"

Snapped!
【Experience value +500】

【Experience value +500】.
Chen Ze casually picked up an eagle he had never seen before and collected experience points while looking down at the ground from high in the sky.

The payment address on the postal money order was a hardware store, and the payee's name was Wang Bing.

Although this information seems unremarkable, the amount of remittance is not small. Combined with the difficult financial conditions of the mysterious sender,
You are so poor and you still send money.

This place, or the person to whom he sent the letter must be very important to him.

Standing high and seeing far, Chen Ze hovered in the sky and clearly saw the administrative divisions on the ground, and quickly located the address of the hardware store.

Whoosh!
The white clouds dispersed, and Chen Ze's figure suddenly disappeared.

The eagle that escaped from the clutches quickly fluttered its wings and fled, leaving only scattered feathers flying in the air.

On the ground, Chen Ze naturally walked out of a remote corner and turned into a busy street. He also bought a special dumpling cake and ate it while walking.

Soon, Chen Ze walked to the door of the hardware store in two steps, but was rejected.

The rolling shutters of the store were closed tightly, and the grooves of the iron curtains were filled with thick dust, but there was no notice posted at the door.

Upon seeing this scene, Chen Ze immediately felt an ominous premonition in his heart.

click!
Chen Ze took a vicious bite of the dumpling cake, chewed it hard, turned around and glanced around, then walked into the convenience store next to him to chat with the boss.

More than half an hour later, Chen Ze gained another "good friend" on the street, and also learned the whereabouts of the hardware store owner, Wang Bing.

died!

They both died again!

It is reported that this Wang Bing suffered from leprosy in his early years, and the sequelae caused his appearance to be terrible. Therefore, he has never been able to find a wife, and his health is not good, so he is childless.

More than half a year ago, Wang Bing died of a sudden illness, and the neighbors helped with the funeral arrangements.

"This old Wang has a really hard life. He seems to be reticent, but in fact he is warm-hearted. What a pity."

"The craftsmanship is good! The people are also down-to-earth and hardworking."

"I don't know who he is. He's local, right? He sounds like he has a similar accent."

"Tsk, tsk, we are very familiar with each other, even strangers would be scared to death if they saw her!"

"But no matter if he leaves early, I'm afraid no one will care for him until he dies!"
The owner of the tire shop next door also showed Chen Ze photos of Wang Bing's life.

The photo showed a middle-aged man with a deformed face, an unusually thick mouth and nose, and his original appearance was completely unrecognizable.

Come on, it’s another person whose appearance you can’t tell!

Chen Ze is almost certain that this Wang Bing must belong to the same organization or force as the mysterious sender.

In this case, Chen Ze was ready to bite this man to death.

Live to see people, die to see corpses!
That night, Chen Ze broke into the memorial hall of the funeral home where Wang Bing's ashes were stored.

Hey, hey, hey, hey—

The storage compartments were neatly separated, and the stone urn inside flew out and jumped into Chen Ze's hands.

When Chen Ze opened the lid of the jar, the ashes inside were stirred, and sure enough, he found unmelted remains.

Big gold teeth!
A big gold tooth with the word "王" engraved on the back!

The same big gold tooth that was found in the remains of Wang Lin and the mysterious sender!
After taking back the big gold tooth, Chen Ze stuffed the urn back into the urn, then simply restored the damaged storage compartment and left the funeral parlor.

He wanted to go back to the street where the hardware store was located to do a more detailed investigation.

You must know that Wang Bing is different from the mysterious sender. He has a fixed livelihood and fixed interpersonal relationships. It is difficult for such a person to hide secrets.

So that night, no one in the neighborhood around the hardware store had a good sleep.The next day, in the afternoon.

Chen Ze stepped out of the last store at the end of the alley.

Although he didn't sleep for almost the whole day, his mental state was not affected at all.

After one night and one day of investigation, Chen Ze confirmed from many sources that Wang Bing was indeed different from ordinary people.

Wang Bing's daily life is very monotonous. The hardware store is both a business and a home. Apart from business such as opening a store, he has no other interests or hobbies.

But from time to time he would close the shop for one or more days and then go out and do something unknown.

A neighbor once saw Wang Bing boarding the No. 58 bus more than once.

So Chen Ze found the route map of bus No. 58, marked it on the map of Luxi County, and checked all the areas along the way.

As a result, Chen Ze discovered that there was a place at the end of the line that he was particularly concerned about.

The palace!

That is, the luxurious villa built by "Qigong Master" Wang Lin in Luxi County!

This can't be a coincidence!
Wang Bing must have gone to Wang Lin’s palace!

rustle—

Chen Ze suddenly crumpled the paper map into a big ball and set off immediately!
And just before Chen Ze found the clue, earlier.

Inside the funeral home he just broke into last night.

"what--"

As the saying goes, spring is sleepy and autumn is tired. As the sky gets darker, the funeral home manager, Old Lu, also yawns every few steps.

This job is inherently relaxing, and although the salary is not high, it is very suitable for an old man like him to hang out.

While resisting the urge to hum a tune, Lao Lu straightened his expression and entered the memorial hall where the ashes were stored to inspect the equipment.

everything is normal.
Lao Lu was experienced enough not to make eye contact with any of his relatives. He was thinking about whether to play chess or cards after get off work before leaving the memorial hall.

But just after crossing the threshold, he slapped his head and stopped.

This guy tends to forget things easily as he gets older.
With a silent sigh in his heart, Lao Lu turned around and returned to the memorial hall. He walked alone to the corner of the ashes storage cabinet and counted the numbers.

Oddly enough, he was paid regularly to pay special attention to a certain ashes storage space.

How can we take care of it if it's all burnt to ashes?
Lao Lu muttered in a low voice, but his dim eyes were still trying to argue about the storage location of the ashes.

After all, as long as you look at it a few more times every day, you can get money. Who doesn't love such a good thing?
He has been taking this spare money that fell from the sky for more than half a year, and the ashes that he was told to pay attention to have never been abnormal. Of course, today is also the case.
Well?
Lao Lu reached out to fumble around in confusion, only to find that the ashes compartment belonging to Wang Bing actually had many cracks and scratches out of thin air.

It was obviously not there during the last inspection!
Lao Lu was a little confused, but he didn't intend to go into details.

Anyway, according to the agreement, he only needs to tell the paying boss about the situation, and he can get another amount of money.

"My concubines, sit tight in the palace~" Lao Lu, who was in a good mood, finally hummed the ditty out loud and happily prepared to go out and make a phone call.

Luxi County, Guanshan Reserve.

Chen Ze gradually converged his light wings and landed in front of a light blue wall, looking far ahead beyond the obstacle.

Wang Lin's Palace is located among the mountains. There are eight or nine buildings in total.

There are rolling green mountains and green trees all over the place. It seems quite abrupt to insert such artificial creations.

Whoosh whoosh—

The wings of light suddenly flapped behind him, and Chen Ze circled the wall diagonally, flying all the way to the front of the house.

During this period, his hands were busy, and from time to time, inconspicuous spells fell in the wind.

The mansion is complete with gardens, ponds, boats, flowers, plants and vegetation, showing the scenery of that time.

But now, the water in the pool has dried up, the vegetation has withered, and even the two golden stone lions at the door have lost their lower half, and the other has lost its head.

Only the golden plaque nailed into the building at the top of the main entrance remains the same.

The word "Prince's Mansion" is written on the plaque.

After looking up at the plaque for a while, Chen Ze was about to move on but suddenly turned his head slightly, his eyes like sharp arrows staring at an inconspicuous black figure on the horizon.

Drone?
It seems to have been hovering here for a long time.

Chen Ze narrowed his eyes and decided to ignore it for now.

Ever since Master Wang Lin was exposed by the media and completely ruined, the Wang Lin Palace has become a famous private tourist attraction. People with good intentions often come in groups to explore and hunt for treasures, dreaming of getting rich, or to gain traffic. .

This place is so desolate and dilapidated, and there is a reason why it has been looted by countless people.

Chen Ze shook his head and stepped directly across the threshold of the door, wondering where to start.

If Wang Bing came to the palace, then he should
At the same time, on a distant mountain on a certain side of the palace, there were a few branches and leaves swaying in the forest.

If you look carefully, you can see that they are not branches and leaves at all, but several people wearing camouflage uniforms crawling in the forest.

"Is he this person?" A rich male voice whispered.

"It should be him, otherwise how could it be such a coincidence."

"Yes, there is no one else here. Who else but him?"

The other two voices also echoed.

Only a clear female voice like a silver bell expressed different opinions.

"Let's ask the doctor again, in case we find the wrong person."

There were three men and one woman in this group of people wearing camouflage uniforms.

"That's fine, Ling'er is right."

"That will only trouble the doctor further."

"Okay, I'll contact you."
Everyone reached an agreement and quickly took action after reconfirming, moving silently in the direction of the palace.

Amidst the rustling, the muzzle of a gun that could not be covered was exposed with a cold light. Several people were actually fully armed and well-equipped!

After half an hour.

Wangfu, the third floor of a certain villa.

Chen Ze stared at the thick cement wall in front of him, and then a few strands of Yuan Qi spread out and climbed up the wall.

After just walking around for two times, he always felt that the thickness of the wall was not right.

Soon, Chen Ze sensed the holes inside the wall through Yuan Qi.

There is indeed a mezzanine inside.

shhhhh--

Yuan Qi surges around the body and gathers on the fist peak.

Chen Ze took one step forward and teleported to the thick wall. He raised his fist high and was about to smash it out.

whoosh-

As if the shutdown button had been pressed, Chen Ze suddenly stopped and his fist stopped motionless not far from the wall.

At the same time, downstairs outside the villa.

The three men and one woman who were fully armed had already shed their excess burdens, and they were holding rifle soldiers and surrounded them upstairs in several directions.

After a while, one of them locked onto Chen Ze's figure at the stairs on the third floor.

"Target found." He whispered to his teammates,

"Third floor, at the top of the stairs, right in front of me." (End of Chapter)
