That night, all the shops that had been busy all day began to close their doors after sending away the last customers.
Soon, the store was tidied up.
The two boys reported to the shopkeeper and then returned to the backyard to rest.
On the empty counter, only the shopkeeper was left to continue calculating carefully.
I don't know when, a dark figure was already standing opposite the shopkeeper who bowed his head.
If his neck hadn't felt terribly stiff, he wouldn't have looked up.
"Who" Seeing the shopkeeper's alert question.
The man in black motioned him to be quiet and replied coldly.
"Friends in the world of martial arts" The shopkeeper was startled for a moment, and his thoughts, which were originally only on the numbers, suddenly returned to his original position.
Even though he racked his brains, he never remembered that he had any contacts with people in the world.
"I'm afraid this good man has misunderstood that I have been working in a business since I was a teenager and have never had anything to do with friends in the world."
"Shopkeeper, don't be afraid that I came to Baodi today to ask you about a few people."
In order to dispel more of the shopkeeper's concerns, the man in black calmly explained his purpose.
The shopkeeper simply put down the pen in his hand and nodded calmly.
"So I don't know who the hero wants to inquire about."
"Customers who have been to your store," the man in black said seriously.
The shopkeeper's face looked troubled, and he kept sighing quietly.
"I'm afraid this is not good, my dear.
If the customers who have come to my shop have something to do with you, I will get involved in them.
If those customers come to my door, how can I do business?
A businessman is different from you rangers.
He has run away and the monk has run away.
If we can’t go to the temple, I think it would be better for a hero to ask the government to properly resolve this matter.”
After hearing these words, the man in black was not angry, but said calmly.
"The shopkeeper is worried about his reputation.
Don't worry.
The customers I'm asking about are also people from the Jianghu.
Since they are from the Jianghu, we will act according to the rules of the Jianghu."
The shopkeeper was speechless and said timidly.
"You have to promise me never to reveal this matter.
I don't want to get involved in the feud between you."
The man in black nodded and immediately started to vote.
"Don't worry, no one else will know that I'm here."
The shopkeeper sighed helplessly.
"Tell me which guest you want to inquire about."
"I want to ask about the person who came to your store yesterday or the day before yesterday to buy paper," the man in black said calmly.
The shopkeeper simply stood up and started pacing around the counter.
"It's a coincidence that my store doesn't sell much paper these past two days, and there seems to be only one customer who buys a lot of paper."
The man in black's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked hurriedly.
"What did this person say and do when he came to your store and what are his characteristics?"
After thinking hard for a while, the shopkeeper suddenly spoke.
"I remembered that this customer was very strange, so the two boys in my shop were still talking about him secretly."
"Oh, what's so strange about him?"
The man in black continued to ask.
"That man has a strange smell," the shopkeeper said with certainty.

"What weird smell?"
The man in black knew in his heart that the strange smell on the visitor was probably related to his identity, but he asked again pretending to be surprised.
"It smells like oil.
The two boys secretly discussed him and said he was probably a butcher selling meat," the shopkeeper explained calmly.
"It's indeed interesting that an ordinary butcher who can't even read a few Chinese characters comes to buy paper for letters."
The man in black couldn't help but sigh in a low voice.
"Yes, we also thought it was strange at the time.
One of my clerks even asked him if the paper he bought was for his children to practice calligraphy."
The shopkeeper remembered another detail.
"What did the butcher say?"
the man in black asked with concern.
"His answer was even more incredible.
After hearing the question from my shop assistant, he just shook his head without forgetting to laugh at himself.
According to him, he prepared all these papers to wrap meat for customers," the shopkeeper said calmly. .
"This is indeed a bit strange," the man in black couldn't help but sigh.
"Who's to say there aren't such luxurious buyers out there who just wrap meat?
The straw paper is very easy to use," the shopkeeper said while sighing.
"What else did this guest say?"
The man in black followed closely, trying to find some more useful clues.
But at this time, the shopkeeper seemed to have been squeezed out of all the oil and water, and no longer had any useful information to disclose.
Seeing this, the man in black knew that asking questions was useless, so he planned to leave.
So I threw a few coins to the shopkeeper.
"Working hard" "I don't want money.
I just ask the hero not to come again in the future," the shopkeeper begged.
The man in black nodded, and the oil lamp on the counter went out instantly.
By the time the shopkeeper turned on the lights again, the man in black had disappeared without a trace.
In fact, the man in black did not go far.
After he left Tongda Trading Company, he cautiously followed the market like a cat catching a mouse, looking for the butcher's shop.
But after searching for a long time, there was no butcher shop.
The man in black muttered secretly in his heart.
"Opening a butcher's shop in such a prosperous area doesn't have enough rent, so he's not a butcher."
Thinking of this, the man in black suddenly felt that his conclusion was too hasty.
"Who else would have an oily smell on their body?"
Suddenly, a shop not far away aroused the interest of the man in black.
It turns out that the name of that store is Nian Nian Xian.
The man in black suddenly remembered the scene at Governor Li's mansion.
The steward ordered someone to serve him a carefully prepared meal.
It was a seemingly ordinary bacon, but it tasted extremely salty.
Out of curiosity, I asked that the name of that snack was Nian Nian Xian.
"It seems that this is a common snack here.
There are probably countless such shops in the city.
The revolutionary rebels are really cunning and want us to find needles in the haystack."
The man in black couldn't help but sigh secretly.
After patrolling a few streets, what the man in black didn't want to see finally became a fact.
There are no fewer than ten shops with signs showing "Nian Nian Xian Fresh", but they are all small shops.

"We can't search each house one by one.
The day lily will be cold before we catch the revolutionary rebels."
The man in black had no idea for a moment, so he had no choice but to write down the locations of these shops in his mind, and had no choice but to return home.
The Spring Festival holiday is over, let’s continue working hard in the new year:
