Brother Xie, he is too popular. What should I do?

Chapter 107: Visitors from the Law Enforcement Hall

This time, Senior Brother Mei did not answer "I remember".

Instead, he looked his senior brother up and down cautiously.

"I don't know you, who are you?"

"Don't you remember? We went to Taoxi Town to eat thousand-layer cakes together!"

Senior Brother Mei shook his head and insisted that this senior brother had recognized the wrong person.

Xie Yunhe looked in curiously.

The senior brother had no choice but to leave.

"Brother Mei, you really don't know him?"

"He might have the wrong person."

Senior Brother Mei's face was full of confidence, and it seemed as if this was really the case.

But Xie Yunhe didn't think so. He felt that the senior brother at least knew about Senior Brother Mei.

Just because it’s not Taohua Town but Taoxi Town?

at this time.

There was a knock on the door again.

Someone else is coming.

Are you here to buy pastries from Brother Mei again?

But this time, someone came in who was unexpected to both of them.

The man who came was very tall, holding a long sword in his hand and dressed in black.

When Senior Brother Mei saw the person coming, he exclaimed in his heart - why is it him?

When Xie Yunhe saw the person coming, he exclaimed in his heart - why is it so dazzling?

It was noon and the sun was extremely strong, but nothing was more dazzling than this person's face.

It was another person shielded by the holy light. From Xie Yunhe's perspective, he could only see that the person was wearing black clothes.

Xie Yunhe could tell from the height that the other person was not Qin Yu who came yesterday.

He kept silent, wanting to wait and see what would happen, because he didn't know who the visitor was.

There were several people behind the man in black.

The visitor glanced at the two people in the room and unexpectedly stopped his gaze on Xie Yunhe.

Xie Yunhe only saw the other person's head seemed to nod towards him, maybe greeting him?

Xie Yunhe nodded hesitantly as a response.

Does he know this person?

If it was someone he knew, it would be easy to rule out. Xie Yunhe had only met three people from the Holy Light.

One is Qin Yu, but his height is wrong, so he is excluded.

One is Li Ye, but his height is wrong, so he is excluded.

The other one is Jiang Han, who is about the same height. This one should be Senior Brother Jiang.

Before he could confirm it, he saw the man turn his head towards Senior Brother Mei's position.

"The Law Enforcement Hall received a report that someone is illegally selling banned books here!"

"We need to check if there are any banned books in the room. Excuse me, both of you!"

After saying that, he called a fellow apprentice who was also wearing black clothes behind him to come forward for inspection.

The junior brother in black walked in with a compass in his hand.

He placed a colorful book on the compass, and the compass needle began to spin wildly.

Only then did Xie Yunhe discover this.

The outfit of this group of men in black was very similar to the Law Enforcement Hall disciples he met in the lobby yesterday.

The rest of the people stared at Senior Brother Mei. Senior Brother Mei looked uncomfortable and obviously scared, and he huddled under the quilt.

The needle on the compass slowly stopped.

Everyone in the room looked over.

Finally, the pointer stopped at the starting position.

The junior brother in black had an incredible look on his face, and it was obvious that this result was beyond his expectations.

The black-clothed junior brother took two steps into the house, but the needle on the compass did not move, but stayed firmly in place.

"Brother Jiang, the compass search failed. There are no forbidden books in this room."

He was a little frustrated. It was clearly here, so why couldn't he find it?

Senior Brother Mei lifted the quilt and emerged again. He suddenly changed from being low-key to being high-profile.

It was obvious that the failure of the compass search gave him confidence, and he suddenly stood up.

"You guys at the Law Enforcement Hall, please don't wrongly accuse a good person! What's the point of banning books? I'm just an ordinary small businessman. How could I have such a thing?"

Senior Brother Mei puffed out his chest, put his hands on his hips, and looked very righteous.

Jiang Han glanced at Senior Brother Mei, and then his eyes suddenly fixed on the bottom of his bed.

"What's under your bed?"

Senior Brother Mei remained very calm and began to explain.

"These are the snacks and other sundries I brought for my employers. If you don't believe me, just search."

Jiang Han signaled another fellow student behind him to come forward and check.

The junior brother pulled out the large wooden box from under the bed, opened it, and saw that it was full of small boxes.

Out of caution, the junior brother continued to open the box.

I saw that there were indeed pastries in the box, and they smelled delicious.

"Brother Jiang, it really is a pastry!"

The junior fellow was also a little embarrassed. After all, he had searched all the people's things but still found no trace of the banned book.

But they clearly received a very detailed report, and the identity of the reporter was very credible, so how could they not find it?

Jiang Han walked over and casually opened several boxes, all of which contained pastries of the same style.

It can be seen that the pastry is well made, small and exquisite, and will probably be very popular with girls.

He picked up one of them, put the rest back, and closed the lid.

When Senior Brother Mei saw this scene, he suddenly broke out in a cold sweat.

I hope Jiang Han won’t discover anything.

Probably not?

Senior Brother Mei wiped his sweat quietly.

However, some things happen more often than not.

"Use this box of pastries as a reference and place it on the compass."

"Okay, Brother Jiang."

The junior brother in black replaced the colorful book on the compass with the cake box he had just found in the junk box.

After putting it on, the compass needle started spinning wildly again.

In full view of everyone, the pointer stopped moving and pointed to a place.

Xie Yunhe also looked over curiously.

Why are you doing this? Aren't all the cakes in the box?

Where is the compass used for searching?

However, Xie Yunhe also saw the function of the compass, which should be a prop for finding things.

Just put the item there and you can find something similar to it?

Then the compass needle should point to Senior Brother Mei’s storage box.

However, the pointer did not point to the storage box, but pointed to the original position again. The result was the same as the initial test.

what happened?

Is the compass broken?

Senior Brother Jiang Han didn't say anything, but just opened the lid of the storage box.

At this moment the compass needle began to tremble.

It actually moved!

The pointer slowly pointed to the storage box.

It turns out the compass is not broken?

Then that’s it…

"There's something wrong with this box. It can block the compass's search."

Senior Brother Jiang Han gestured to the junior brother in black to use the compass to search again while walking towards Senior Brother Mei.

"Your name is Mei Liangxin, right? Come with us from the Law Enforcement Hall."

Seeing Jiang Han coming, Senior Brother Mei kept backing away.

"I'm warning you, you can't arrest people without any evidence!"

"As long as you are innocent, I promise to release you safely."

"That won't do. Everyone knows that entering your Law Enforcement Hall is like entering a dangerous den. There's no coming back! I'm not going!"

Senior Brother Mei shook his head frantically and decisively refused to go on a one-day trip to the Law Enforcement Hall, not even a half-day trip.

"Senior Brother Jiang...still haven't found it..."

The hesitant voice of his junior brother in black came from behind Jiang Han.

The interference of the glove box has been eliminated.

Logically speaking, this compass can find all the items in the house that are similar to the banned books.

Some people may ask, why don’t I just hide it in the storage space?

The scary thing about this finding compass is that it can even search out items in your storage space.

Only a few special materials are impenetrable.

This is also the reason why Jiang Han wanted to control Mei Liangxin first when he saw that she actually had a box of miscellaneous items that could avoid being searched.

It is not ruled out that Mei Liangxin obtained it by chance, but materials that can circumvent compass searches are too rare.

There are only a few types, which can be counted on one's fingers.

Jiang Han took a quick look at the grocery box and recognized that it was probably made of a kind of meteorite iron, which happened to be one of the few special materials that could circumvent the compass.

Most people will make special magical tools out of meteorites they obtain. Who would use meteorites to make a grocery box?

No matter what, there must be something fishy going on with Mei Liangxin!

But now the problem arises. Bringing someone to the Law Enforcement Hall without any evidence and based only on speculation is bound to give people a chance to criticize.

Moreover, the most important thing in the Law Enforcement Hall is evidence. Without evidence, even if you enter the illusion of the Law Enforcement Hall, you cannot make a decision on punishment.

This person will escape again.

Do you want to give up?

Is this the end of this hard-earned arrest operation?

Also, is Mei Liangxin really innocent?

Was his meteorite iron grocery box really a chance find? Or was this person just a weirdo who liked to use expensive materials to make grocery boxes?

Jiang Han looked at Mei Liangxin who was jumping up and down on the bed and shouting that he would expose the Law Enforcement Hall. He rubbed his nose and felt a headache.

Both of them are in the Nascent Soul stage and have actually had some interactions with each other before.

Jiang Han could occasionally see Mei Liangxin setting up a stall in the sect’s market.

Moreover, this person is an elder's disciple. Mei Liangxin will also participate in the sect's true disciple competition five years later, making him a potential opponent. Jiang Han inevitably learned some information about him.

The most talked-about thing about this person is his name. After all, the name Mei Liangxin is too strange. Any other surname would not be so strange, so people who have heard it always remember it unconsciously. However, Mei Liangxin himself does not like people to call him by his full name.

Usually he would just call him Senior Brother Mei.

The second thing he is known for is his omnipotence. Any information you want to know or any rare treasures you want, as long as the price is right, he can definitely help you get them.

Jiang Han had only heard that Mei Liangxin was a very difficult person, and because of his job as a grocer, he had a formidable network of contacts, and he repeatedly stepped on the bottom line of the Law Enforcement Hall.

Mei Liangxin's whereabouts are elusive and difficult to catch.

Based on the real-name report from an insider, they finally caught the person this time, but they had no evidence.

Jiang Han has witnessed today how difficult this person is to deal with.

Jiang Han's eyes scanned the inside of the grocery box inch by inch.

The banning book controversy that arose in the sect this time must be related to this person.

There must be banned books in the room. They just staked out a few people outside and found banned books on them.

Although those people refused to speak and refused to provide the seller's information.

However, based on the content of the report, Jiang Han could infer that this was definitely related to Mei Liangxin, and there must be banned books in the room.

That's why he brought his men directly to the door.

He wanted to catch the other party off guard and prevent them from transferring the banned book.

But who would have thought that Mei Liangxin was like a loach, slippery and cunning.

If he hid the banned books, where would he have hidden them?

Jiang Han fixed his eyes on the pastries.

“This cake…”

"This is peach blossom pastry from Taohua Town. It's a bestseller. I brought it for my old employer."

Before Jiang Han could finish his words, Mei Liangxin interrupted him.

The more you talk, the more mysterious it becomes.

Jiang Han suddenly opened the box of pastries.

The hand went towards the pastry.

Mei Liangxin cried loudly when she saw this scene.

"What are you doing? Don't touch my goods! Come at me if you have anything!"

Jiang Han is usually a quiet and well-mannered person.

They were all annoyed by Mei Liangxin's screams.

Jiang Han's veins popped up on his head, and he tried his best to control himself and not hit anyone.

"How much is this cake worth of spirit stones? I will pay you three times as much when the time comes."

Mei Liangxin shut up immediately.

His greed for money is fully displayed in him.

Xie Yunhe was completely confused by this series of disturbances.

He drew a conclusion based on the available information.

These men in black were from the Law Enforcement Hall. They suspected that Senior Brother Mei was selling banned books, so they came to search their 521 Infirmary.

And Senior Brother Mei’s full name is Mei Liangxin.

The current situation is that we haven’t found the banned book that Senior Brother Mei might be hiding yet.

Banned books?

Xie Yunhe remembered that when he was in the medical hall, several of his senior brothers were arrested and taken to the law enforcement hall because of banned books.

He remembered that someone said at that time that it was a storybook about a love story with Xiao Taohong as the protagonist.

Is this the book Jiang Han and his people are looking for?

But, is Senior Brother Mei really selling banned books?

Although many people came to Brother Mei to buy things today.

He has been selling cakes all morning.

It's not a banned book.

but……

Xie Yunhe thought about it, what if the books he was selling were really banned?

Because he was far away, he only saw Senior Brother Mei handing a box to the other party. It was wrapped in a box, and he couldn't see whether there were pastries or storybooks in the box.

But when he saw the open box in the hands of the black-clad man from the Law Enforcement Hall, he gave up the idea.

There were indeed pastries in the box.

Moreover, if Senior Brother Mei was really selling storybooks, although hiding the stories in boxes and giving them to customers seemed like a good idea, if someone opened the box and searched it, the stories would be found out immediately, and the concealment would be too poor.

It’s not that stupid, hahaha.

Xie Yunhe laughed in his heart until he couldn't laugh anymore.

No, why did he start thinking from Senior Brother Mei's perspective, and think about how to hide the banned books from the perspective of a seller?

Xie Yunhe gently held his forehead and had to admit a fact.

That is, he subconsciously felt that Senior Brother Mei was highly suspicious.

If we exclude the fact that he couldn't find the banned book, judging from his behavior alone, Senior Brother Mei is definitely not innocent.

There’s no reason for it, it’s just that the people who come to buy pastries in the morning say very similar things.

Some pastry that I had eaten with Senior Brother Mei in Taohua Town.

It is estimated that Taohua Town does exist, but whether these people have ever gone there together to eat pastries is another matter.

These people are lying.

What made Xie Yunhe most certain that these words were lies was that although they said they came to ask Senior Brother Mei for help and mentioned that they had eaten cakes together before, as if they were familiar with each other, no one cared about Senior Brother Mei's injuries.

This doesn't look like a relationship where they've had cakes together, it looks more like they're strangers.

There is a contradiction between actions and words.

So, why lie?

Want to hide it from others.

Xie Yunhe boldly guessed that they might be exchanging secret codes.
