Chapter 333 Deadlock(1/2)

The next day, while Mona was stuck in her room working on her manuscript, Bai Qiyun and Ying went to Chenxi Winery to investigate the workers transporting goods.

However, before the two of them went to inquire, the people from the winery had already asked them in detail. The workers said that they had no special impression. They just sent a carriage of goods over as usual, and they said so when they left.

The group of things are still there.

This group of workers is not affiliated with the Chamber of Commerce. They are just a group of workers. There is no reason to speak for the Chamber of Commerce.

So now even if Bai Qiyun and others ask again, the answers they get remain the same.

Just when a few people were about to leave, Bai Qiyun suddenly felt a familiar wave.

This power...is the power of legacy?

"Wait a minute, did you feel anything special while transporting the goods?"

Just when they were about to step out of the room, Bai Qiyun withdrew and returned to their side, carefully examining the bodies of the workers.

Sure enough, there was an inexplicable aura lingering around several people.

"It feels special...well, it seems to be more difficult to transport than before. Maybe it's because the goods are heavier than before."

One of the sturdy workers scratched his head. His body was a little weak that day and he always felt powerless when transporting goods.

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun nodded clearly.

Before coming, he had confirmed with the people at the winery that the winery had also ordered a batch of goods from the Chamber of Commerce a few days ago. This group of people was also responsible for transporting the goods, and the quantity of the goods was exactly the same.

So, this is a point of doubt.

"It's okay, I'm sorry to disturb you."

Following the young man out of the somewhat dark dormitory, Ying looked at Bai Qiyun's thoughtful face and spoke softly.

"What, are there any clues?"

"Well, I have some clues."

Taking the account book from the warehouse, Bai Qiyun confirmed the specific situation of the goods with the help of the housekeeper.

If he guessed correctly, there must be a hint of 'legacy' in this matter.

If the fact that the goods disappeared out of thin air can be explained, then this matter is actually just a commercial problem of shoddy goods.

"Really?"

After reading a few cargo bills, Bai Qiyun discovered the problem.

These disappeared goods are not original products, they are all semi-processed products, and they are all things that can be manipulated.

But if he hadn't sensed the power of inheritance at work, he wouldn't have been able to tell the secret no matter how hard he looked.

"We now need to go to the chamber of commerce to ask the relevant purchasing department and see in person the goods that have just left the processing factory. If there is a problem, it is the fault of the person in charge of purchasing at the chamber of commerce. If not, it is the person in charge of transportation.

The package dropped during the process."

Hearing this, Paimeng nodded in understanding.

She didn't understand it at all. Anyway, if she followed the cook, she wouldn't go wrong.

Looking at the two West Wind Knights beside him, Bai Qiyun planned to split up with the Yingbing soldiers into two groups, with each team consisting of a genuine West Wind Knight and a non-staff member.

After finally finalizing the decision, he followed Gaza to explore the factory's supply of goods, while Ying and Amber went to investigate the relevant personnel responsible for transportation.

Taking advantage of the fact that it was still early, several people split up.

The factory was built in the suburbs outside Mondstadt. It was said to be a factory, but it was actually just a gathering place for workers with a warehouse, which contained some tools used for making wine and the like.

Standing outside the factory, even without entering, Bai Qiyun could smell the aroma of wine floating in the air from a distance.

"It looks like it occupies a large area. Haven't the Knights come to inspect it?"

"No."

In response to the question from the boy beside him, Gaza shook his head happily.

In order to cooperate with Bai Qiyun's actions, the female fighter specially changed into regular clothes to make herself less conspicuous.

But in Bai Qiyun's eyes, this outfit showed more girlish charm than the sloppy look she wore before.

Although she was dressed in linen, the gray-brown clothes on her upper body contrasted sharply with her fair skin, just like a puddle of fine snow falling on the soil, pure and beautiful.

The two took a few steps forward and found that there were no traces of idle people around, only a few vague footprints left on the soil, extending all the way into the factory building.

The two looked at each other, Bai Qiyun nodded, gestured to Gaza with his eyes, and moved towards the factory.

Finding a corner by the window, Bai Qiyun quietly looked inside.

I saw a few shirtless workers working on the machines, and piles of semi-finished products flowed out of the pipes and rolled directly into the containers.

Although the workers are strong and strong, they seem a little slow when they work.

The various raw materials lying on the shelves were handled very slowly in the hands of the workers, which even gave people a feeling of weakness.

An inexplicable aura shrouded the sky above the factory. Here, Bai Qiyun became more and more certain that it was the trace of the power of inheritance.

"The source of the problem is probably here. Should we go find someone from the Knights to seal this place down?"

Although the problem has almost been identified, it still depends on the Knights' wishes in order to finalize an action plan.

Originally, Bai Qiyun planned to follow the knights and seal the place directly, but unexpectedly, Gaza beside him shook his head, with a strange smile hanging on the corner of his mouth, like a shark that saw blood.

"No, we can just deal with it directly."

Gaza stood up, walked directly towards the door, and knocked on the door, attracting the attention of the workers inside.

"Miss, what can I do for you?"

One of the workers, who seemed to be the leader, came over and looked at the young and beautiful woman in front of her and the little follower carrying a backpack beside her.

"Nothing, the Knights are doing something, please cooperate."

Gaza directly made her intention clear, and judging from her posture, if the person in front of her refused her request, she would have the tendency to rush in directly.

Hearing this, several workers in the field looked at each other, wondering what they had done to warrant the Knights' dispatch to investigate.

Looking at the seal of the Knights that Gaza took out from behind, a few drops of cold sweat fell on the faces of the workers on one side, and the feeling of working in full swing disappeared instantly.

"This... Miss Knight, we are a factory of the Chamber of Commerce. We should not have violated the relevant regulations of Mondstadt City."

"We'll have to check whether it's a violation or not. If you are dissatisfied, you can complain to the Knights headquarters later. As for now, please get out of the way."

Seeing that the workers were unmoved, Gaza frowned and rushed in.

"Eh!"

The female knight ignored the shouts of the workers behind her and directly began to explore the inside of the factory.

————

Bai Qiyun followed Gaza into the factory and began to carefully examine the goods still lying on the processing shelves.

Sure enough, a strong aura of legacy power lingered on it, making him frown.

"How about it?"

After holding the goods and examining them for a long time, Gaza couldn't see anything wrong, so he could only place his hope on the young man beside him.

Facing Gaza's questioning gaze, Bai Qiyun nodded.

"Yes, there is something wrong with the goods."

When he was in Liyue, he noticed that ordinary people, even the holders of the Eye of God, had almost zero sensitivity to the power of inheritance. Only inhuman beings like immortals could clearly sense the power of inheritance.

For Mond, I am afraid that only the Guardians of the Four Winds can identify it. In other words, even if Euradiluc is present in person, the power of the legacy attached to the goods will still not be noticed by them.

Seeing the two people flipping the goods one after another, the previous leader realized and quickly stopped them.

"You two, these things have to be delivered. We can't afford it if something goes wrong."

Hearing this, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but laugh.

He also said that when something went wrong, now this situation has already gone terribly wrong.

If he had not confirmed that the group of workers in front of him did not have the ability to manipulate inheritance, he would have cooperated with Gaza to arrest these people for interrogation. How could he have allowed this group of people to wander around on the ground as if nothing had happened.

"Oh? Don't you know that something went wrong with the goods you handed over to Chenxi Winery yesterday?"

"What?"

Seeing the young man's determined look, the leader was a little flustered for a moment. He opened and closed his mouth several times but no words came out, and his eyes were a little dodgy.

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun felt happy.

Unexpectedly, there was an unexpected harvest.

He walked forward, stared at the leader's face and said slowly, "You seem to know something."

Hearing this, the leader's face became more and more panicked.

"I..."

The hemming and hawing made the two men look at him more and more unkindly.

"Let me tell you, judging from your appearance, this matter probably has nothing to do with you. Why should you shoulder it for others? It won't be of any benefit to a little follower like you."
To be continued...
