Da Liu was still smiling, "Grandpa Tian, thank you, we still have a mission, so we wonât disturb you."
Tian Cheng nodded, and the three of them walked out of the old building.
Wude Lane was a place Gu Qiaoqiao had visited, just yesterday.
There was no need to ask the locals, Gu Qiaoqiao pointed out the direction, the two exchanged a glance, and finally realized why their superiors ordered that all their actions should be under Gu Qiaoqiaoâs command.
Soon, Xiao Guo drove them to the entrance of Wude Lane in twenty minutes.
Once again standing in front of the main gate, before they could knock, the young Ah Li, who opened the door for them the day before, opened it again. The young Ah Li obviously didnât know the inside story, and still said cheerfully, "Miss, my master is waiting for you, youâre right on time."
Ready for this?
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a bit puzzled inside; if Huang Tiekou had already predicted this, why hadnât he turned himself in?
Could there be some unspeakable secret here?
So, Gu Qiaoqiao turned to Da Liu and Xiao Guo, "Can you two wait here for a few minutes?"
Gu Qiaoqiao asked in an inquiring tone.
It was uncertain whether the two would agree.
Unexpectedly, Da Liu nodded straightforwardly, "Sure, weâll wait here for you. Just let us know when you need us to go in."
Gu Qiaoqiao stepped through the gate and followed the young man towards the main house. After a few steps, the young Ah Li suddenly remembered something, turned to the two people behind him, "My master said that those who come are guests, you can wait at the pavilion, I just brewed some tea."
Da Liu and Xiao Guo exchanged a glance, they both felt as if the host had been expecting them.
Suppressing this weird thought, they both agreed spontaneously and walked towards the small pavilion. This way, they could keep an eye on Gu Qiaoqiao, and if anything happened, they would know immediately.
At the door, the young Ah Li pushed it open, "Master is waiting for you..."
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, but without hesitation, lifted her leg and stepped into the living room, while the young man behind her slowly closed the door.
Huang Tiekou seemed a bit different from yesterday, somewhat haggard. He was still sitting on the sofa opposite, poured a cup of tea for Gu Qiaoqiao, his voice slightly old, "Have a sip of tea, whatever you want to know, I will definitely tell you."
Gu Qiaoqiao sat opposite him.
But she didnât take the teacup, instead, she stared at Huang Tiekou and asked her puzzlement, "Did you already predict what was going to happen today yesterday?"
The question was asked, but Gu Qiaoqiao felt a tinge of skepticism inside, were Huang Tiekouâs deductions really this accurate?
If they were indeed this accurate, wouldnât that mean he could foresee the future?
If so, he would truly be a top-notch expert.
Who in this world could be his match?
If he could easily predict upcoming events, he could avoid them perfectly, without letting himself suffer the slightest harm.
But then again, he didnât run, instead waiting for the relevant departments to find him.
If the matter was related to him, wouldnât he have to go to jail? Then turning himself in would mean leniency.
So, there must be more to it.
Huang Tiekou glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, took a gentle sip of tea, and then slowly put down the teacup, "When I was young, my friends coaxed me into the name Huang Tiekou, actually I just know some Art of Deduction, nine times out of ten itâs accurate, so over time, Iâve almost forgotten my real name."
Gu Qiaoqiao seemed to smile slyly, unsure if Huang Tiekou was being modest or bragging.
"So, did you deduce todayâs events as well?" Gu Qiaoqiao continued to ask leading from his words.
"Yes, after you left yesterday, I cast a divination and the hexagram displayed pretty much this result." Huang Tiekouâs face seemed somewhat self-satisfied, yet he hid it well.
Not waiting for Gu Qiaoqiao to speak, he pointed to the teacup in front of her, his manner very friendly, "This is top-grade Da Hong Pao, brewed with a special method, have a try, itâs not poisoned..."
Gu Qiaoqiao smiled slightly, "Old man, itâs not that I donât trust you and wonât drink the tea, I just donât have the habit of drinking tea, especially in the morning..."
She indeed did not like drinking tea, especially in the morning.
Huang Tiekou didnât continue to persuade, but shook his head regretfully, his tea wasnât something just anyone could drink. He looked at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Do you want to know the inside story of the North Fire?"
"Yes, thatâs exactly why I came today."
"I actually only learned about this after coming back to Sky Sea City, at the time I didnât expect..."
"Was it really related to you?"
"Yes." Huang Tiekou did not deny, nodding, then continued, "A friend had the Green Dragon Eight Trigrams Plate I dreamed of, he didnât want money, but wanted to use three Shock Thunder Talismans and predictive weather skills to trade with me, I thought for a few days and agreed..."
"Who is this person?"
"Old Thief He..."
Him again?
This person is truly like a ghostly presence, far abroad, is he bullying the people of the land of Huaxia because they canât catch him?
But, the cruel fact is, so many traitors are living freely overseas, protected by some sinister organizations...
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned slightly, "He is abroad, who contacted you?"
"A young man, named Martin, looked very ordinary, I went to a northern city to forecast the weather for a week for him. Those days were the most peculiarly weathered in the Chinese calendar, even the weather station wasnât accurate, after that I handed the three Shock Thunder Talismans to him, then returned to Sky Sea City..."
"As for the fire, I only found out through the newspaper, I believe in cause and effect, to be honest with you, in my early years to survive I did deceive people, but I have principles, I donât do heinous things, let alone burning so much grain, which is a crime, a big one at that..."
Huang Tiekou seemed a bit heartfelt, and felt like the culprit, his expression was very complicated, and someone like Huang Tiekou, who lived a life mingled with truth and lies, probably couldnât even discern themselves, naturally Gu Qiaoqiao wouldnât believe him.
"What about Old Thief He, what did he say?" Gu Qiaoqiao asked.
Having a premonition in her heart, fearing they might be led by the nose again.
"Although the phone was from abroad, I still called, unfortunately, it wasnât Old Thief Heâs number, it was a foreigner, and I couldnât understand what he was saying..."
"Do you still remember the appearance of the person you met?"
