Just as Su Hong and the other three were staring at Li Yan, waiting for him to continue, Li Yan still glanced to the side of the store.
"In addition to the young monk's shop next door, you can focus on investigating some of the houses on the same side of Jin Zhiyuan's shop. You can see the two shops opposite, as well as the shop on the corner of the opposite street, or the attic.
Especially if there is a house where the owner suddenly disappears, and this person or several people, this should be the last layer of protection secretly provided for Jin Zhiyuan.
They will be here for a long time secretly staring at the place where they can easily spy on the other side, and their purpose is to protect Jin Zhiyuan's store.
Therefore, his goals are clearer and more targeted. Someone may look here every day, and this behavior seems normal to others.
But the people watching in secret must know that after a situation like this occurs on weekdays, there should be a certain chance that someone will come to this shop.
But at that time, you were only paying attention to avoiding the attention of those nearby and Jin Zhiyuan's store. You never thought that someone would be secretly watching the places you went to.
So no matter how well you conceal yourself, you can only avoid the attention of people around you, but you can't escape the surveillance of people who are secretly interested.
They have been keeping an eye on this street all year round, so they must know the approximate number of passengers here at any time.
I suspect they can even tell how many people will enter the store just by looking at it.
But today, the number of people looking here suddenly increased, and the number of people who came to the three locations at the same time also increased, but the number of people who finally entered this shop was far beyond their judgment.
So as long as they confirm your quiet eyes and movements, they can almost be sure that this store has been exposed, and the people here should have been targeted.
And they saw Jin Zhiyuan going out. Even though no one followed Jin Zhiyuan secretly during the day, when it was about to close at night, he still hadn't come back.
The combination of so many circumstances was enough to make them suspect that something was wrong.
Then what they have to do is very simple. There are many ways to notify the two shop assistants that they need to leave. This can not only serve as a warning, allowing the two people to escape from danger first, but also test whether something has really happened to Jin Zhiyuan.
If it was just a wrong guess, after Jin Zhiyuan returned later, only they themselves would know about the two people's escape from the secret passage.
Even the young shopkeeper who was quarantined was completely unaware. As long as he secretly informed the two clerks again, they would know that it was a false alarm.
So for them, there is no loss at all, but they can also prevent potential unexpected dangers. "
Li Yan said slowly, and the words he said made the three of them stunned. They suddenly realized that there was indeed a problem in Jin Sanyi's words.
The secret surveillance they did during the day seemed to be done flawlessly, but in fact, as long as the people here had set up secret posts in advance.
Then all their behaviors will fall into the eyes of interested people. Based on these people's understanding of this street and shops, Jin Sanshiyi's behavior is simply very suspicious.
The secret sentry position set up by the enemy was beyond everyone's expectations. People would not keep an eye on Jin Zhiyuan's shop here. Jin Zhiyuan and two clerks were responsible for it.
The other party was only responsible for looking at irrelevant shops and streets. This made Jin Sanyi and the others, even though they were experienced, not paying attention to things that were irrelevant to the target, which was the key.
This means that Jin Sanyi and the others are looking at the "scenery on the bridge", and there are still people under the bridge watching them, although they would have definitely noticed the surrounding environment when they assassinated others before.
At the same time, various plans must be made in advance, but that is active tracking behavior, which is different from such passive surveillance.
It's like Jin Jiu followed Jin Zhiyuan here that night. He also wanted to prevent Jin Zhiyuan from discovering him, but he didn't get close, let alone make any suspicious moves...
Therefore, as long as the secret sentry here finds that the situation is a little abnormal, they can issue relevant warnings with great caution.
Such an approach would not have much impact on the other party at all. Instead, it could save the other party's life in time. In fact, the other party did just that.
"Oops! The secret sentry here may have escaped too!"
Su Hong The pupils in her beautiful eyes shrank suddenly, and she suddenly thought of one thing, Jin Zhiyuan never came back.
Although this time is actually not too long for the monks participating in the trade fair, as long as the other party pays attention to other clerks in the store, or even the situation in the store next door.
You will find that some of the clerks living in the city did not leave in the end. Even if they send people out to secretly check the residence of the three clerks in Jin Zhiyuan's store, they may find more abnormalities.
But after the store closed, those clerks did not return from the store. In the eyes of these people, the meaning was completely different. This was simply a huge loophole.
If someone hadn't paid special attention to these things and had some doubts in their hearts, after those clerks and their relatives woke up tomorrow and let them come to the store normally, everything would appear to be completely normal.
Especially now that Li Yan may have guessed the opponent's method, their plan can be changed again. All they need is someone to transform into Jin Zhiyuan, and they can ignore the two guys who escaped.
If the two escaped men were informed of the situation, they might be confused and wonder if the secret whistle had made a wrong judgment, and someone would come back to verify Jin Zhiyuan's authenticity.
That way if they secretly monitor the people who come to inquire for information, they might catch them again...
It's just that the ghost-like secret sentry next to him will inevitably consider his own safety after discovering the abnormality today, saying that they may not have withdrawn, and this possibility is extremely high.
"He probably ran away, but we still need to check!"
The folding fan in Su Liuyun's hand also hit the counter on one side, making a crisp sound, and his expression changed slightly.
"My subordinates are guilty. You will deal with me when I get back, sir. I'm going to investigate right now!"
Jin Sanshiyi's eyes showed an annoyed look. When he quickly bowed to the three people and saluted, his figure quickly disappeared from where he was.
He knew how big of a mistake he and his team had made. He only hoped that the enemy's secret whistles were still lucky and were still making final confirmations.
Jin Sanyi was betting on Jin Zhiyuan's death. The other party didn't know it yet, so maybe the secret whistle here would stay, and he wanted to confirm the real result.
However, Jin Sanyi is proficient in espionage and assassination, so the hope of knowing this is extremely slim, and now he must be needed to confirm these things.
"And Lin Fengshan and Xu Li... will there also be such secret whistles?"
Su Hong was standing there with her brows furrowed. At this time, she suddenly thought of another thing. While she was frowning, her expression was also changing.
Her voice was very low, and Su Liuyun and Li Yan still heard her clearly. However, before they could speak, Su Hong seemed to be asking and answering questions of her own.
"... Probably not. The Zongtan warehouse is inside. Of course they can't set up secret sentries like this, and the cave abode or the courtyard in the city where the two of them live is also assigned a business name.
Even if there are no guards specifically guarding the place and they can be allowed to pass by, outsiders cannot buy the right to live in that area at all.
Since the people who live there are all monks from this trading firm, it is possible to live in that area unless there are other secret agents responsible for these two people who have also infiltrated the main altar.
But there are too many coincidences like this, and if this is the case, our behavior of monitoring the two of them may have been discovered. How could we still find the clue of Jin Zhiyuan after passing Lin Fengshan! "
Su Hong is certainly not a general person. She just connected various coincidences with what was happening so far, and soon she found the answer.
Su Liuyun also nodded slightly after hearing this, while Li Yan's expression remained unchanged. He had already thought about this clearly when he thought that there were two lines, one light and one dark, on this street to assist Jin Zhiyuan.
He didn't know that the place where Lin and Xu lived was the property of "Guiqulaixi", but being able to reach here through Lin Fengshan proved that it was not suitable for them to have hidden sentries around them.
"Miss Su, let's go check out that secret passage again!"
Li Yan said to Su Hong that he should have found the root knot here. Just as Jin Sanyi said, they will check it all the way, and it has little to do with him at the moment.
In a secret passage, the figures of Li Yan walked down the short stairs. There were several moonstones inlaid on the cave walls around here, which made the place not appear dark.
Such stones are treasures passed down from generation to generation among mortals, and are also called "night pearls" by them, but in the hands of immortal cultivators, they are just special stones.
They do not have any aura themselves, and they are not of much value to be refined into treasures, but they are good for lighting in certain dark places.
After all, it is possible for them to emit light by themselves for hundreds or even thousands of years, and they do not need the support of formations and spiritual stones, so why not?
The secret passage is only about two feet wide, which is actually not too narrow. It can basically allow a person to pass through freely, but it is definitely not how wide it is.
The height of the secret passage is only about five feet. If you are tall, you will need to lower your body when entering.
