After the brother and sister got the news, they were also shocked by it. After a brief discussion, they hurried here.
Su Liuyun came here to take responsibility for Jin Zhiyuan's death. He said that he would be responsible for this matter, and of course he would not shirk the responsibility, lest the responsibility would be borne by his sister alone.
At the same time, they want to report on the progress of the current investigation. Su Hong is narrating the matter quickly. They are currently talking about the process of arresting the clerk in Jin Zhiyuan's store...
After dark, Jin Zhiyuan's shop, like most shops in the city, is not open all night and closes soon after.
Jin Thirty-one and the others had been secretly staring at the store. The store was not very big. During the day, they saw that the business of the store was acceptable, and the five store clerks were also busy coming and going.
There are many such shops in "Haina City". Otherwise, whether the business is too good or too deserted, Jin Zhiyuan's place will attract the attention of others.
What's more important is that once your store is very strong, it will definitely attract the attention of "Guiqulaixi", who will definitely find out your details.
Such an ordinary shop can better help Jin Zhiyuan hide his identity. The whole shop including Jin Zhiyuan has only six people. There is no butler here, and the remaining five people are hired waiters.
Regarding the origins of these five guys, Su Hong also has relevant information in their hands. These five people were replaced one after another later.
Three of them were monks born and raised in the city. They had worked in other shops before. They came to Jin Zhiyuan's shop to get more spiritual stones.
The other two were foreign monks. After they arrived in "Haina City" for a while, they were hired by Jin Zhiyuan one after another.
One of them is named Guo Gongming, who is currently at the middle level of Spirit Transformation, and the other is named Wan Kongshan, who has now reached the late level of Spirit Transformation. The two of them entered the store about five hundred years ago, and the difference between them is only more than sixty years.
The two's original cultivation levels were not as high as they are now. It was during these hundreds of years that their cultivation levels gradually improved.
At that time, Li Yan focused on these two people, but he did not find any more doubts about these two people from the information. He could only say that the origins of these two people were not clear.
The existing information was also supplemented during the initial registration in the city and several subsequent investigations, including Su Hong, who also found no doubts.
In the end, these two people were just the key surveillance targets among the five clerks. They now all live in the city. Basically, they will return to their place of residence every Tiandu after closing the shop.
When he needs to retreat to practice or go out of the city, he will ask for leave from Jin Zhiyuan. If Jin Zhiyuan's shop is very busy at that time, he will hire some people to help him temporarily. Everything seems normal.
But these two have not yet reached the threshold of advancing to the big realm, so they don't spend much time in long-term retreat. They spend most of their time in shops.
There are actually many monks like them in the city. They don't have a strong background, and their qualifications are not favored by good sects. Those who are inferior to sects might as well not go there, and they will be working as odd jobs if they go in.
Therefore, they often focus their time on earning spirit stones, and then buy the appropriate Pill for their own cultivation and breakthrough.
Today, five of Jin Thirty-one and the others gathered outside Jin Zhiyuan's shop, leaving two people to keep an eye on Lin Fengshan and Xu Li respectively.
After the other three people went out, two more people were picked out from the "Returning Army" and went to stare at the residences of the five clerks in the store.
Here, five Void Refinement Realm strong men are fighting against five Spirit Transformation Realm monks. This is no longer killing a chicken with a sledgehammer, but completely killing an ant with a sledgehammer.
But Su Hong's order was a sure hit, requiring all five people to be captured alive, and at the same time not to alert anyone else in the city, and everything had to be done cleanly.
As a result, something happened while arresting these five people. Jin Sanyi and the others had figured out the situation in the store and had been waiting outside for the best opportunity.
After these five people close the shop every day, they first need to clean up the shop, then inventory and summarize what they did today, and burn their transactions into a Jade Slip and submit it to Jin Zhiyuan.
Then Jin Zhiyuan would check them one by one at night. If Jin Zhiyuan was not in the store, they would knock Jade Slip out of a magic circle in the rear courtyard, and then leave one by one.
Jin Zhiyuan is not afraid that they will collude to deceive him. Such people have long been punished and driven away by him. If there is no spiritual stone, there must be something in the store; if the thing is gone, there must be spiritual stone.
And he only deals in Spirit Plant here. Jin Zhiyuan is very familiar with these. He has already set the price of various Spirit Plant. Whether it is collecting or selling, as long as it does not exceed the bottom line of the price he has set.
If he can sell high and earn low, that is the clerk's own ability. The other party can take the extra part, and Jin Zhiyuan can only earn what he wants to earn.
As a result, the clerks in his store have always been very stable. Basically, few people will take the initiative to resign. Moreover, they will work more diligently. If they are able to earn more, it will be for their own benefit.
So after Jin Zhiyuan sets the price, unless Spirit Plant that these guys don't know is being sold, Jin Zhiyuan basically won't bother.
There is no need for those guys to collude to defraud the spirit stones. Once discovered, Jin Zhiyuan's punishment will be severe. This is also the bottom line for all shops in Chengdu.
"Haina City" would not interfere with the hired clerks and deacons like them, even if the circumstances were serious and they would be beaten to death by the shopkeeper. "Guiqulaixi" paid more attention to the management of the business than other cities.
They have a very complete set of business rules to protect both the settlement agreement and the employed monks. As long as one party makes a mistake, they will strictly follow the rules.
After figuring out the situation in Jin Zhiyuan's store, Jin Sanyi and Jin Jiujiu discussed it and decided to arrest people in the store instead of following them to their homes.
That would distract the strength of one's own people, and it would also be prone to unknown accidents. Three of these five people have dao companion and heirs.
That is, the three guys who were born and raised in "Haina City". Of course, it is not good to do it when there are many people, but these relevant people must also be captured afterwards, and they also need to be verified one by one.
But Li Yan and Su Hong believed that more than 70% of the three store clerks had no problem. Otherwise, leaving their relatives here would be a joke with the lives of the whole family.
Unless those relatives are not the real relatives of the three people and are just used to hide their identities, but they have checked the previous investigation records.
The births of those three children are very clear, they are the children of dao companion, so there are three "returning troops" who only need to look at those three residences first.
If an accident occurs there, they can mobilize people there at any time. This is "Haina City", but it may cause a lot of noise.
When Jin Sanyi and the others were in front of the opponent's door, three of them found an opportunity before the opponent opened the formation and sneaked in instantly.
They left two people to guard outside, watching the front and back of the store to avoid any accidents!
Jin Sanyi and the others were masters of stealth assassination, and their cultivation was much higher than that of the five clerks in the store, so there was no chance that the other party would notice.
Just after they entered, one of the store clerks closed the store in front and opened the formation at the same time. They would pass through the formation with their waist cards and leave.
There was another person who stayed in front to cast a spell for quick cleaning, and the remaining three people sent some valuable Spirit Plant in the front counter to the warehouse at the back.
After Jin Thirty-one and the others entered, they were also waiting for the store formation to open. The formation here could also cover up the movement inside for them, and then they could quickly arrest people.
Soon, among the three of them, Jin Jiujiu and another person were left in front of the store. Jin Thirty-one quickly went to the backyard. He watched the three guys duck behind them and enter a room in the backyard.
There are clear formation space fluctuations there. Jin Thirty-one knows where that place is, it is the warehouse of this store!
After several guys delivered the things, they would come out soon, so Jin Thirty-one lurked at the door of the backyard and did not follow them rashly.
Regardless of whether the warehouse is large or small, it is usually the most heavily defended place in a store. The formation space fluctuations there are not weak, and you can be sure that there is a strong set of defensive formation protection.
Although he was confident that he could sneak in, Su Hong requested that the five people be secretly arrested and try not to make any noise to avoid attracting the attention of others, so he naturally adopted the safest method.
Just when Jin Sanshiyi watched the three people enter, two "Returning Army" monks from the store in front had quietly sneaked over. When Jin Sanshiyi turned back to look at the two of them, the two men nodded slightly.
It was just a matter of dealing with two Spirit Transformation Realm monks, and they still used a sneak attack. If they still missed, they would really kill them with a piece of tofu.
The moment one of the guys opened the formation, the two of them immediately took action at the same time without hesitation. The two guys didn't react at all and fell into a coma in an instant.
After that, they were all put into the spirit storage bag. Jin Jiu and the others quickly checked the store in front of them. After ensuring that there were no problems, they quickly came to the back to meet Jin Sanyi. This was their plan that they had made long ago!
At this moment, the remaining three clerks had just entered the warehouse. Now all three "returning troops" gathered at the entrance of the courtyard. The remaining three clerks were already unable to escape...
Soon after more than ten breaths passed, the three of them were slightly startled. After the formation restriction outside the warehouse fluctuated again, only one clerk walked out of it.
"Only one person?"
Jin Jiu frowned and quickly transmitted the message.
"As soon as he turns out of the courtyard, take action!"
Jin Sanyi also vaguely felt that something was wrong, but he still quickly transmitted the message.
