Chapter 2323: Are You Trying to Scare the Dead?

Meng Yunzheng arrived at his comrade's home and indeed found a set of night clothes.

Leaving the night clothes aside, he waited at home. It wasn't until midnight that he heard a faint sound in the courtyard.

Meng Yunzheng went out to take a look and saw a stone on the ground with a note tied to it.

He glanced at the courtyard wall, realizing that the stone had just been thrown in.

Sure enough, the note had an address on it. Meng Yunzheng changed into the night clothes, double-checked the directions on the map, and then quietly left the courtyard.

There were patrol guards on the way, and Meng Yunzheng carefully avoided their routes. Before long, he arrived at a desolate and eerie courtyard in the western part of the city.

This place was a temporary storage location for coffins, and no one, not even ordinary people, would willingly come here.

Meng Yunzheng climbed over the outer wall and entered the courtyard. Passing through the yard, he entered the main hall.

The main hall was pitch black, and over thirty coffins were placed in the spacious area, most of them empty with their lids on the ground. However, a few coffins were still sealed.

As he stepped inside, the paper money on the ground rustled.

With the moonlight spilling in from outside, facing so many coffins, a timid person would have turned pale with fear.

Meng Yunzheng, on the other hand, remained calm. He walked a few steps in and stopped, folding his arms, waiting for Qi Lie to appear from somewhere.

Just as he was looking towards another door, one of the coffins suddenly made a slight noise, and then a person abruptly sat up from inside.

Meng Yunzheng: "..."

Are you trying to play dead?

The person in the coffin climbed out, took a deep breath, and then spoke, "Did I scare you?"

Meng Yunzheng chuckled, "Your entrance is certainly unique."

Lying in a coffin, and you thought of this.

It was only because he had a strong nerve; otherwise, he would have been scared to death before making contact.

Qi Lie laughed twice, dusted himself off, and said, "You didn't expect this, did you? What you can't think of, those people probably can't either."

He led Meng Yunzheng into a nearby small room, casually sitting on the floor. "Come on, tell me what's going on. Weren't we supposed to sneak in secretly? Why did you come to the southwest so openly?"

Meng Yunzheng hesitated for a moment but found a chair and sat down.

They didn't have much time, so there was no small talk. Meng Yunzheng explained the reason for his visit.

The latter furrowed his brow as he listened, "So, Shu Feng from the Shu family is going to repeat the mistakes of his family?"

"Not just him. There's a group of people gathering in Zhengdao Village. I have a list here; if you have contacts, investigate them. Also, there's someone very suspicious—a twelve-year-old boy. Shu Feng's group seems to be taking special care of him. Focus your investigation on him."

Qi Lie's expression turned serious as he nodded. "I understand."

"One more thing." Meng Yunzheng handed him the letter, "Right now, both Ah Yu and I suspect that one of those girls might be from the black market. The letter was deliberately delivered to us, and your arrival in the southwest was probably within their expectations."

Qi Lie rubbed his chin, "No wonder, I thought that after I came here, it felt like I was being watched. Fortunately, I was cautious, changing my location and identity frequently; otherwise, before the black market could be investigated, I would have been exposed."

"Where is the black market?"
