Chapter 695 Stalking
Chapter 695 Stalking
"You're stupid, but you could imagine that we would also look for Zhu Qiansi and plan to reunite with us this way. You're smart, but you could so eloquently shout 'I want to see Zhu Qiansi' to the natives created and reappeared by the thread of cause and effect within Liu Town," Li Nian said helplessly, looking at Haiou. "You're truly a remarkable person."
"I can't help it. I actually now realize that what I did was too reckless," Seagull said helplessly. "And I was really panicked... This new body is too unfamiliar. I suddenly went from male to female. I'm not a psychopath or a mentally ill person. I was definitely anxious after the gender transition, so I lost control of my emotions and my judgment was impaired."
After Seagull finished his defense, he suddenly felt an inexplicable chill on his back for some reason.
It seemed that his explanation had unknowingly offended a very dangerous and powerful guy, and created an unknown enemy and opponent.
Seagull only heard a gentle female voice whispering, "Haha, you're right. As long as they're not a psychopath, they will transform after changing gender. What you said makes sense."
Seagull looked at the person, who was the girl who called herself "Jiang'an Tang" and "Lao Yao".
He nodded quickly: "Yeah, right."
At the same time, Seagull was telling himself in his heart that the dangerous feeling of offending someone just now was just an illusion!
Although his sixth sense is quite accurate most of the time, there are times when it fails.
"Anyway, it seems like you two are planning to go to Zhu Qiansi's place, so that's just on the way," Seagull exhaled, "If we're there, we can directly meet up with the other three people."
"I hope so. At least Snow Owl and Gao Shan should be fine." Lin Yu didn't dare to say anything too confidently because of the flying knife. "However, we definitely can't just go there like this... Although these natives created by the causal threads still think they are living a normal life in Liu Town back then, you can't guarantee what Zhu Qiansi's condition is."
"As the creator of this 'illusion', it's very likely that she remembers everything—and we're facing her head-on now. Not only is this her home turf, but even if we only consider physical strength... I'm afraid 'Zhu Qiansi' back then wasn't someone we could easily deal with."
"Three hundred and fifty years ago, Zhu Qiansi in human form had to force the Grandmaster Taiqing to use the Hundred Tribulations Forbidden Technique to kill him."
Lin Yu analyzed it in a very logical way, and Haiou nodded repeatedly.
"That makes sense, Sister Yao!"
The seagull took immediate action—he opened the curtain again and gave orders to the coachman.
"You don't have to park right in front of Zhu Qiansi's house. Just park one street over... no, two streets over will do."
As the seagull spoke, the driver immediately agreed.
"Okay, Miss Wan, I'll follow your instructions!"
The level of the carriage driver once again shows that the Wan family, to which this "Miss Wan" Haiou has integrated, should be a very prominent one.
And the status of "Miss Wan" herself must be definitely not low. Otherwise, if they really suspected that she was possessed by evil spirits, how could they let her go out alone with a coachman to see a doctor?
What's more, the driver had no objection to her various seemingly strange instructions.
Soon, the carriage stopped steadily again.
"Miss, we've arrived. I'm sorry to bother you with a few steps. Do you still need me to accompany you?"
The driver's voice came through the curtain, and Seagull answered casually.
"Of course not, I have two friends with me."
Haiou answered, and then got out of the car surrounded by Lin Yu and Li Nian.
The streets here still have that new and elegant style, but compared to the residential houses, there are more shops selling the four treasures of the study, calligraphy and painting, tea and other refined items. It looks like a more high-end shopping place.
Looking along the street, most of the people walking here are dressed elegantly and gracefully, and the men and women passing by are often wearing simple but well-fitting silk clothes.
This also gives us a glimpse into the aesthetic taste of the upper class in Liu Town.
Mixed in the crowd, Lin Yu and Haiou didn't feel out of place, but Li Nian seemed a little out of place - but Li Nian didn't care about it.
Not long after the three of them walked out, Lin Yu quickly discovered where Zhu Qiansi's shop was.
In the distance, a dozen or so people gathered in front of a spacious storefront along the street, with a wooden signboard of "Xinglin Medical Clinic" hanging above the storefront.
The gate and the signboard are both antique and very exquisite in style.
But the people gathered in front of the door were not the elegant and upper-class people who lingered in front of other shops on the street - although there were a few literati who seemed to live nearby, most of the others were dressed like wealthy businessmen, laborers, vendors... and their styles were not uniform.
However, these people get along with each other in a harmonious way, as if they are looking forward to something.
Although they were at the entrance of the clinic, Lin Yu had a premonition...
"Oh, maybe none of these people are here to ask for medicine, but only for divination."
As Lin Yu was speaking, Li Nian asked.
"How do you know that?"
Now that Seagull was present, Li Nian didn't act as intimate as before, but as soon as Lin Yu opened his mouth, Li Nian still joined in the conversation.
"Even if all those seeking medicine are family members, there must be a few sick people among them, but these people don't look sick at all," Lin Yu sighed. "And if the elders who run the clinic in Zhu Qiansi's family are so skilled that they can prescribe the right medicine without even needing to observe, smell, and palpate, and just ask a few questions from the family members, and still attract so many people... wouldn't that enthusiastic vendor of the ornaments we just asked have given us a heads-up?"
Li Nian blinked. "That seems to make sense, Sister Yao. Since there are so many people here, should we sneak in and take a look?"
"No, let's find Gao Shan and reunite with the Snowy Owl first."
Lin Yu said in a low voice, then looked around at the other shops near the "Xinglin Medical Clinic".
Selling rice paper, calligraphy and paintings, antiques...
Scanning the rooms one by one, Lin Yu soon locked his sights on a teahouse diagonally opposite the "Xinglin Medical Clinic".
Because it’s a teahouse, this shop is no different from the others – the second floor has windows that are open, and it’s clearly a teahouse with a focus on street-side views!
When Lin Yu saw this teahouse, he could be sure...
"If I were Captain Gaoshan, I would definitely choose to go into this teahouse!"
For a professional policeman, this is simply the best place to monitor and stake out the "Xinglin Medical Clinic".
Moreover, the teahouse itself is also a very classic "intelligence distribution center". If you make good use of this, you may be able to find out the information you want to know from this teahouse.
