Chapter 77 Riddles and Writers
Yunhai Bookstore.
Obviously a few minutes ago, there were only one or two people here reading quietly, but now looking over, it can only be said that the seats are packed.
To be more specific, if Yunhai Bookstore itself was not very small, it would not be able to accommodate so many people.
Documentary literature, light novels, story collections, entertainment and comedy areas...
There are a large number of people "stationed" in each division. They open books one after another and even take notes in their hands.
Judging from the appearance, it really looks like a death sprint at the end of college.
"Fuck!!"
Suddenly, a lucky reader in the relaxed and funny zone yelled, then covered his heart and kept retreating with frightened eyes.
Not far from him, a strangely decorated "Hong Kong Weird Record" fell quietly to the ground.
The female ghost in a blue dress on the cover is staring out of the book with a ferocious expression.
The lucky man covered his heart, raised his head and glanced at the "Entertainment and Comedy Zone" written on the bookshelf, and then glanced at the "Records of Hong Kong Spooks" on the ground, his eyes widened.
Which grandson put this book in the entertainment and funny section???
Jiahui's "handsome" face was deeply engraved in the heart of this lucky man. He will always remember this day when Jiahui walked into his heart. (Jiahui is the character of the horror game "Hong Kong Spooky".
The heroine of "Record" is the ghost who chases the player... Let me see which of my friends have been "kissed" like me.)
Huh...huh...
After taking several deep breaths, the lucky man stood up shakily.
After being silent for a while, he suddenly walked towards the book and picked it up bravely.
Then, he carefully observed his surroundings and found that no one was paying attention to him.
Immediately afterwards, he quietly put the book back to its place.
After doing all this, he raised his head, looked at the "entertainment and funny area" hanging above, and smiled.
Then, he walked tremblingly towards the "Documentary Literature Zone" as if nothing happened.
When the matter is over, he brushes off his clothes and goes away, hiding his merit and fame.
...
On the other side, Ning Yu, who had left long ago, naturally had no chance to see the bustle of the bookstore at this time.
After drinking the soy milk, he rushed to the General Affairs Department without stopping.
As for why we went to the General Affairs Department...
Because earlier today, he received a letter from Yuheng Xingkeqing. According to her, she found some clues about "pirated books" in Liyue Port.
Ning Yu didn't know that Ningzhe was responsible for the piracy, so he always despised this kind of "piracy" in his heart.
Usually it was just because Ningzhe didn't care, so he didn't say much.
And now...now that Yu Hengxing has found clues, he is also willing to help.
Speaking of which, Ningzhe has been quite busy recently. If he catches the mastermind of piracy, he will definitely be able to give him a surprise.
"Well...that's right. There are many places where these books are produced, and they change every once in a while. There must be an organization with strong professionalism behind them."
"Eating Tiger Rock... I didn't expect that there is a den in this area. Don't scare the snake first, we must be more cautious..."
"...Very good, that's it. Listen to their conversations, but don't make any moves. It's best to be able to insert yourself into them."
As soon as Ning Yu arrived at the General Affairs Department, he heard that Ke Qing was reviewing all kinds of information with a serious look on her face. Next to her stood a young man wearing a half-mask.
At this moment, Ke Qing was saying something, and the young man was listening attentively.
"Miss Keqing?"
"...You can reduce the manpower appropriately. If there are too many lurking people, your hands will be tied up...Huh?"
Keqing, who was still giving instructions, suddenly heard a familiar voice. When she turned around, she realized that the speaker was Ning Yu.
Then, Ke Qing smiled and said, "Ning Yu? You came so early, and you move pretty fast."
"Of course, I don't like to sleep in like that guy Ningzhe..."
Ning Yu shrugged and gave Ningzhe a small black eye.
"That's true." Keqing nodded in agreement with these words.
"Let's not mention this first. Come here, I have some discoveries here..."
After nodding, Ke Qing returned to her previous serious expression.
After Ning Yu came over, she spoke again: "According to the information discovered by the spies, there are one or two small workshops in each area of Liyue Port..."
Having said this, Keqing waved her hand, and the masked young man immediately understood and handed over a map.
Holding the map in his hand and spreading it out, Keqing pointed to a place with "Eating Tiger Rock" written on it and said: "For example, eating Tiger Rock, there is a relatively large-scale workshop here. They specialize in producing "The Story of the Stone"
", the goal is very clear."
Then, Keqing pointed to another place with "Feiyun Slope" written on it, and continued: "There are two small workshops hidden in this place. Although the scale is not large, there are a lot of stolen books..."
Keqing paused for a moment, then looked at Ning Yu and said, "But the books they produce are all novels by the rice wife writer "Tasoko Koji", and there is no work written by Ningzhe..."
Hearing this, Ning Yu frowned and said:
"So, at least the workshops in these two areas are colluding with each other, and there is a very clear division of labor?"
"Yes. And they moved their positions very quickly, as if they had received professional training."
Mentioning this, Ke Qing looked a little helpless, "Every time they hear any disturbance, they will immediately choose to transfer without hesitation..."
"This time I was able to determine their specific location, or it was because they moved too much on "The Story of the Stone."
"Is this so..."
Ning Yu nodded thoughtfully and looked carefully at the map in Ke Qing's hand.
Looking at the heavily circled "Feiyun Slope", Ning Yu always felt that this place looked familiar.
"Speaking of which, I have some impressions of this place..."
Um?
Keqing looked at Ning Yu curiously.
"...If I remember correctly, Ningzhe liked to go to this place to collect materials."
"Fetching materials?"
Keqing nodded and motioned for Ning Yu to continue.
"And he would intentionally ask me to leave every time he collected information. I thought it was nothing before, but after getting in touch with him... I thought there might be something wrong."
Speaking of this, Ning Yu's face showed a trace of seriousness.
"Why is he going to Feiyun Slope? The books stolen from the workshop there have nothing to do with him?"
However, Keqing was a little confused.
What was stolen from Feiyunpo Workshop belonged to the rice wife writer. What does it have to do with you, Ningzhe?
Hearing Ke Qing's question, Ning Yu was stunned for a moment, and then he came to his senses.
Oh, by the way, except for Mr. Yaegomiya, few people know the true identity of Tadokoro Koji...
"Well...what you said makes sense."
After a moment of silence, Ning Yu finally decided not to betray his teammates and put the topic back.
"However, this is a clue after all..."
However, Keqing changed the topic and nodded while saying: "Since Ningzhe has not only been to this place once, we can also start from this place..."
Ning Yu swallowed and did not dare to say anything.
