Chapter 2 Brothers Reunion(1/2)
Honglu Temple just received news that in Xinghuafang, a tailor shop in the agency was stolen by someone.
The stolen organs were stolen, which was a serious incident in Chang'an City. Honglu Temple immediately sent two agents to investigate.
Yuan Fang had nothing to do, so she followed them and went to investigate the case together.
A large part of the powers of Dali Temple and Honglu Temple overlap. Yuan Fang, the owner of the tailor shop in Xinghuafang, is also familiar with him. He often uses the scraps left over for the rich people to make clothes into complete fabrics to make clothes, and gives them to the poor for free. Many of the clothes that are from the younger brothers and sisters in the family are given by the kind owner.
In Chang'an City, not only humans, demon species, mechanical people and mechanical objects of all races are also common.
The art of mechanism was originally used to serve the powerful people in Chang'an City, but since the empress ascended the throne, under her enlightened rule, the art of mechanism has also been widely used among the people.
Residents in Chang'an City can receive the agency core from Yuheng Department regularly and on demand. The agency core is the core of the agency. All agency personnel and agency materials need to be provided with energy by the agency core.
The agency core can only be used in Chang'an City and cannot be brought out. This is to ensure that the agency core is not abused or used for evil things by people with ulterior motives.
Therefore, the imperial court strictly controls the circulation of the nuclear nuclear power of the agency. Once the nuclear power of the agency is stolen, it will definitely be investigated seriously. When Honglu Temple receives such a case, it will naturally not dare to neglect it.
Yuan Fang followed two agents from the Honglu Temple and soon arrived at the tailor shop in Xinghuafang.
Outside the tailor shop, there are people watching. Under the strict laws of the agency, those who steal the agency's nucleus will be punished very severely. Therefore, there are few incidents of the agency's nucleus in Chang'an City, and people do not often see such scenes.
"Everyone gives in, give in..."
Two agents from Honglu Temple separated the crowd and walked into the tailor shop.
In the tailor shop, a man in the agency was dismantled and his chest was empty, and the agency that provided energy disappeared.
Many of the lower-level residents of Chang'an City need to work with the agency. The agency and agency liberate the manpower and improve labor efficiency. The agency people of the tailor shop can do some less complicated sewing work instead of the store owner. Every time Yuan Fang comes here, he sees it working hard, but now lying motionless on the cold ground.
An agent from Honglu Temple surveyed the ground and found no clues. He asked the tailor shop owner: "When did you find that its mechanism nuclear was stolen?"
The tailor shop owner looked at the broken body of the machine on the ground and said with a sad look: "When I left last night, the waiter was fine, but it was like this when I came to the shop in the morning..."
Yuan Fang could understand Tailor Zheng’s mood. The people of Chang’an City did not simply think that the organs were dead objects without emotions. They would regard the organs as important relatives or friends. Losing relatives and friends was tantamount to losing part of their lives.
The agency core not only provides energy to the agency, but also carries their emotions, memories and habits. Even if you reapply for an agency core from Yuheng, you will get only a new agency.
If you want to revive the waiter in the tailor shop, and as before, there is only one way, that is, to retrieve the lost core of the mechanism.
Yuan Fang walked around the tailor's shop, without looking at any corner, but found no clues. According to Tailor Zheng, when he left the shop last night, he had already locked the door. When the door was opened in the morning, the doors and windows were intact. Where did the person who stole the agency's escort come in and how did he get out?
Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Yuan Fang looked up at the top of her head.
He jumped gently and jumped onto the beam of the room.
An agent from Honglu Temple looked up and asked, "Yuan Fang, have you found anything?"
Because the tailor's skylight has not been opened for a long time, it has accumulated a thick layer of dust. There are several clear fingerprints on the dust, and the window buckles of the skylight also have traces of damage.
Yuan Fang looked down at the two agents of the Honglu Temple and said, "The thief came in from here..."
"Xinghuafang, Tailor Zheng was stolen by the agency to retrieve one."
"The thief came in from the skylight last night. He destroyed the agency and stole the agency's nucleus and left the skylight again."
"From the ground to the skylight, ordinary people cannot go up. It is speculated that he has a certain martial arts cultivation. He needs to send more people when chasing him..."
...
In the tailor's shop, an agent from the Honglu Temple recorded it on the notebook.
After writing the clues related to the case, he looked at Tailor Zheng and said, "The Honglu Temple has filed a case. You are waiting in the store. If there is any news, we will notify you."
After saying that, the two left here.
Tailor Zheng cried and grabbed Yuan Fang's wrist and begged: "Yuan Fang, you must help me find the waiter's mechanism..."
Yuan Fang looked at Tailor Zheng, nodded solemnly, and said, "I will do my best."
After coming out of the tailor shop, Yuan Fang stood on the street and sighed softly.
Although the traces left by the thief were found in the tailor shop, it was almost impossible to find him through these traces.
Chang'an City is very big, with dozens or hundreds of markets, and a chaotic and complex underground world. Countless races gather here, mixed with fish and dragons. Unless they were caught on the spot when they were stealing, it was impossible to catch them afterwards.
Tailor Zheng’s tailor shop allows many poor people to afford clothes. Even if they have little hope, Yuan Fang will do her best to help him.
His furry ears moved, analyzing various information coming from the light and dark places.
“There will be a wine tasting party in Changlefang tonight, and all the wines are free of charge.”
"The most famous magic dancer Gongsun Li in Pingkangfang has created a new dance, which is amazing. The dance shop where she is located is full of guests every day."
"Huaiyuanfang, underground competition, the winner will win a hundred taels of gold..."
...
In Chang'an City, all the news of all sizes reached Yuan Fang's ears. Among them were big and small things that happened in Chang'an recently, some private secrets that were unwilling to be known by others.
But Yuan Fang did not hear any clues related to the agency's nuclear stolen case.
Most cases like this cannot be investigated and ended up being left alone.
"Yuan Fang?"
Yuan Fang stood on the street, thinking about how to tell Tailor Zheng the news, and suddenly a voice came from behind.
The voice was familiar and unfamiliar, and the tone was filled with a tremor in excitement, which also shocked Yuanfang's body slightly.
He quickly turned around and saw a figure standing behind him.
He was a demon-type boy with pointed ears. He was much taller than Yuan Fang, with a little dark skin and a deep scar on his face. He was standing behind Yuan Fang, looking at him with unexpected and surprised eyes.
Yuan Fang stared blankly at the demon-seeded boy opposite him. The childhood memories began to appear in her mind, and gradually became clearer from vagueness.
The boy looked at Yuan Fang and smiled and said, "After so many years, you still haven't changed at all."
Yuan Fang looked at the boy in front of her and her voice was surprised and happy: "Li Liang!"
The boy smiled slightly and said, "Long time no see."
...
Xinghuafang, at the shabu shabu stall on the street.
Yuan Fang's mood had calmed down. She looked at Li Liang curiously and asked, "Where have you been to Chang'an in the past five years? You obviously came to Chang'an before me, but after I came to Chang'an, I searched for you for a long time but couldn't find you."
Li Liang put the thin slices of meat into the shabu pot and said, "Something happened on my way to Chang'an. I have been outside for the past few years and haven't been to Chang'an."
Yuan Fang noticed the deep scar on Li Liang's face and asked, "What's going on with your face?"
"I accidentally fell three years ago and knelt on a sharp stone." Li Liang smiled, picked up a piece of sautéed meat and put it in his mouth, and said, "At that time, I said, when we arrived in Chang'an, I would invite you to eat sautéed meat every day, but now I actually want you to treat me, which is really embarrassing."
Yuan Fang said happily: "No matter who invites whom, it's the same. However, I don't have the money to treat you to sauerk with shabu every day, only once a month... at most twice!"
When the close friend reunites, both of them have smiles on their faces. Li Liang asked, "Stop talking about me, how are you doing now? Look at the clothes you are wearing now. Are you working in which yamen?"
Yuan Fang smiled and said embarrassedly: "I am now a spy from Dali Temple."
Li Liang was stunned for a moment, and the piece of meat he had picked up fell back into the pot. He soon realized, looked at Yuan Fang, and said happily: "Yes, you, you must have a high salary for the court, right?"
Yuan Fang said: "It's not very tall, but it's enough to support me and my younger brother and sister."
He looked at Li Liang, but he didn't move his chopsticks, and asked with some anticipation: "Will you still leave when you come to Chang'an this time?"
Li Liang nodded and said, "It should only be in Chang'an for half a month."
Yuan Fang couldn't understand: "Didn't you always want to live in Chang'an? Why do you still have to leave? I can help you find a job here, or ask Lord Di to recruit you into Dali Temple..."
Li Liang waved his hand and said, "I thought when I was a child, but now I don't think about it anymore. In fact, it's good to be outside. You can meet more people and see more scenery. I really like my life now."
Yuan Fang asked, "What are you doing now?"
Li Liang said: "Help others deliver goods everywhere. Maybe I will come to Chang'an in the future. We will still meet at that time."
Yuan Fang was a little disappointed, but was sincerely happy for Li Liang.
Coming to live in Chang'an was the common dream of the two. Although he also hoped that his best friend would stay in Chang'an, he was even more happy that Li Liang could find what he liked to do.
Li Liang stopped mentioning himself and asked Yuan Fang: "How are you in Dali Temple? They didn't bully you because of your identity, right?"
Yuan Fang shook her head and said, "No, they are all very nice to me."
The hybrid demon species may be discriminated against and bullied outside, but this is Chang'an, where countless races live peacefully here. Neither their colleagues from Dali Temple nor friends from Honglu Temple discriminated against him because of the identity of the Yuanfang hybrid demon species, they took special care of him.
Like Yuan Fang, many demons have long regarded Chang'an as their home.
Li Liang smiled and said, "You have to do your best. Maybe you can become a high-ranking official in the future. Then I will come to surrender to you."
Yuan Fang said happily: "Okay..."
This day was his happiest day in recent years.
On the day he came to Chang'an, he was not so happy.
When he received his salary for the first time and invited his younger brothers and sisters to eat shabu shabu, he was not so happy.
He was not so happy when he was attracted by Lord Di and became a spy in Dali Temple.
When the former close friend reunited, the two seemed to have endless words to say, and the smile on their faces did not stop for a moment.
After dinner, Li Liang asked, "Are you going to patrol?"
Yuan Fang nodded and said, "There is a case. I can see if I can find some clues."
