Yuchi Jinhai had seen too much of this kind of harming others to benefit oneself in Sea City. If Du Feng was taken away today, it would basically be over. But as long as he listened to this for a while, it was uncertain what would happen next. He immediately made an appointment with the captain of the eighth team to have a chat in a nearby teahouse.
Du Feng was still forging and was already engrossed in it, so he didn't know that someone was catching him outside. The atmosphere in the blacksmith's shop could make one forget everything while working.
Perhaps influenced by Du Feng, the blacksmith was particularly enthusiastic today. He simply sealed the courtyard door to prevent anyone from disturbing him. He also posted a notice on the door. Whoever wanted to forge a weapon could just leave the materials at the door and write the request on a piece of paper. He would naturally do it when he was free.
Although it was just a small blacksmith's shop, it was very confident. Because the Fu Family had been forging for generations, most of the residents in Sea City had used the weapons forged by the family. Even those weapon shops would come here to stock up on weapons.
Even if they didn't come here, they would have to go to his brother, his brother, his uncle, and his uncle to purchase goods. Therefore, no one dared to offend the blacksmith's shop.
It had to be said that the efficiency of the five law-enforcement teams was very high. They quickly thought of the blacksmith's shop after searching around Sea City. Since there was no record of Du Feng leaving the city at the city gate, he must still be in the city. The most complicated place in the city was actually the Old Alley.
The Old Alley could be said to be a place outside the law. No one would care if a murder happened at night. But at the same time, there were many hidden experts living in the Old Alley. They didn't want to build a shrine to parade around outside, so they liked to live in the bungalows in the Old Alley to recuperate. Therefore, when the law-enforcement officers entered the Old Alley, they had to be careful.
The only thing worth rejoicing was that the light of the Sacred Pagoda could illuminate every corner of Sea City during the day. If a law-enforcement officer was killed, the mayor's residence would immediately know. If it was at night, especially after the third watch period of the night. Even if the law-enforcement officer was killed, it would be in vain. No one would know at all.
"Look, the Fu Clan's blacksmith shop is sealed. That brat is most likely hiding inside."
A few law enforcers came to the entrance of the blacksmith shop and found that the courtyard door was tightly shut. There was even a notice posted outside saying that no one would be entertained.
"It can't be. How could that brat have such great power? The Fu family has never been entangled in such matters."
The other enforcer felt that it was a little inconceivable because the blacksmith shop had never participated in those family battles or personal grudges. Even if Du Feng hid inside, the blacksmith would not seal the door for him. The law enforcers had arrived. They only needed to wait for the blacksmith to finish his work before they could arrest him.
In the past, there were also fugitives who escaped to a blacksmith's shop to find a blacksmith to forge a weapon for them. No one was allowed to disturb the blacksmith while he was forging, but once the weapon was completed, the blacksmith could be arrested. Even then, the door of the smithy was wide open, and everyone could see who was hiding inside.
But at this moment, the door to the courtyard was tightly shut. Could it be that the blacksmith was really trying to protect Du Feng?
"Should I knock?"
The most proactive law enforcer was unwilling to give up. He wanted to knock on the door and ask.
"Don't mess around. Do you want to not have a weapon to use in the future?"
Another law enforcer immediately stopped him. Offending the blacksmith alone was equivalent to offending almost all the blacksmith shops and weapon shops. They were all in cahoots. If he offended all these people, then he would really not have a weapon to use in the future. Moreover, among these people, there were many who had a good relationship with the law enforcers. They were just law enforcers. There was no need for them to risk their lives.
Actually, everyone was very clear that Du Feng was wrongly accused. But the captain had given the order. They had no choice but to come out and arrest him.
"Then what should we do? Should we still arrest him? The captain will be angry if we can't arrest him."
That law enforcer was still somewhat unwilling. He felt that it was too depressing to be unable to arrest Du Feng even though he was right in front of him.
"Brat, are you stupid? If you make the captain angry, you will at most be scolded. Not having a weapon to use is your own problem."
Another law enforcer advised him that it was better to avoid trouble. It was better not to offend the blacksmith shop.
"Alright, then we still have to report this matter to the captain."
Since they couldn't go in, and they suspected that Du Feng was inside, they indeed had to report it to the captain and let him do as he saw fit.
"Do you think the captain will come after you report it? He will definitely still let the two of us barge in. At that time, you still don't know who we will offend."
After being pointed out by another law enforcer, this law enforcer seemed to understand. The two of them simply pretended that they didn't see anything and continued to stroll in the alley. At that time, they could say that they searched the old alley for a day and didn't find Du Feng in the end. If there were any orders tomorrow, then they would talk about it tomorrow.
Du Feng was focused on forging in the house. He didn't know that the law enforcers had already come to find him. Furthermore, he was blocked outside the blacksmith shop. Don't look at it as just a courtyard door. In fact, the entire courtyard was supported by a formation. It was impossible to jump over the wall. It was also impossible to peep in from above.
"Your friend is really good. This time, not only the inn framed him, but the Helian family also wants to mess with him. He is not your guest, is it necessary to help him? "
Yuchi Jinhai went to the eighth captain of the law enforcement team for help, but the other party raised a question. He felt that since he was not his guest, there was no need to spend so much effort to help.
"He feels that he is worth helping. You will know in the future. Brother, don't ask anymore. It's better to think of a way. "
The captain naturally knew the rules of the law enforcement team the best. Whoever they said was guilty was guilty, and whoever they said was wrong was wrong. Especially for people like Du Feng, who was neither a member of the Primordial God Race nor a guest of anyone. He was just a human cultivator from another place, and it was too easy to be framed.
What's more, Xiao Hei was already Yuchi Jinhai's guest. Du Feng, as Xiao Hei's big brother, was also worth Yuchi Jinhai's help.
"Alright, you just wait for the results with peace of mind. The matter of the merman has actually been heard by the city lord's mansion. Maybe this time, you can take the opportunity to overthrow the Helian Family. "
Captain Eight had a very good relationship with Yuchi Jinhai, and he even gave him a reminder. If this matter wasn't handled well, Du Feng would be caught. However, if it was handled well, it was possible that the Helian Family would be the one to blame. The Yuchi Family and the Helian Family had been fighting for so long. Perhaps this was an opportunity.
