Huo Zhenye smiled: "No more?"

Bai Zhun ran out of patience, turned around and left, as long as the wisp of tobacco was still there, Wang Qiufang would come again tonight, so it would be better to make this troublemaker suffer.

Bai Zhun left, but the envelope was still on the table. Huo Zhenye opened it and saw that there was a piece of paper-cut shackles and wooden shackles inside, similar to those worn by prisoners on the stage, and the craftsmanship was quite delicate.

He casually put the little thing into his pocket, and casually ordered: "Go and see who this person is and where he is going."

There were three or five policemen around him, the Huo family went up and down, up to the director of the police station and down to the arresting room to patrol, all of them were given enough benefits, and the policemen were willing to listen to him, followed him out, and came back after a while.

"The man didn't leave. He opened a room, stayed in it, and ordered a lot of food and wine to be delivered to the room."

"Change the room to the one next to him." Huo Zhenye was not surprised, no matter who wanted to harm him, he had to show signs of it, he walked up the stairs staggeringly, and wanted to see what other tricks this person had.

Bai Zhun couldn't leave for a while, so he asked for a riverside suite, and ordered all the famous dishes of Licha Restaurant.

Huo Zhenye stood still at the door of Baizhun, watching the waiters come in and out, the round table by the window was filled with various cakes and pastries, he raised his eyebrows, this person would enjoy it.

He opened the door of the room next door, and said to Chen San who was following him: "I'm in the room, why don't you go, you go take a rest, and everything you eat and drink will be charged to my account."

Chen San smiled until he saw his teeth but couldn't see his eyes: "Seventh Young Master, just rest, if you wrong you for a few more days, the matter will be over soon."

Huo Zhenye couldn't get a confession here, and the patrol room had plenty of ways to get Liu Da to confess his guilt. No matter how hard Liu Da's bones were, they couldn't be stronger than an iron whip.

If the case hadn't been exposed by a reporter and caused an uproar in Shanghai, it wouldn't have been such a hassle at all, and it would have been settled quietly.

Huo Zhenye's eyes turned cold when he heard the words, he closed the door, turned around and took a closer look in the room.

The sheets and quilts are all new, the windows are wide open, and the sound of boats on the pier in the distance can be heard in the room. No matter who gave him any medicine at any time to make him hallucinate, after volatilization, the medicine should also lose its effect.

But how could he still smell blood?

He was also extremely careful about his diet today. He ate with the patrolmen, he only touched the dishes that others had touched, and he didn't drink a sip of the tea and coffee brought by the waiter.

Huo Zhenye pressed the pistol in the inner pocket of his suit, pulled a chair and sat by the window, neither eating nor drinking, breathing in the fresh air, how could that man have a way to prescribe medicine.

Compared to Huo Zhenye, Bai Zhun was much more comfortable. He ordered a table of dishes for himself and tried everything.

The dishes are not as good as Cuihualou Tianxianglou, the pastry tastes pretty good, Bai Zhun held the porcelain plate in his hand, scraped off the cream from the cake, and ate it in one bite.

Axiu sat opposite him. She didn't need to eat, but she also imitated Bai Zhun, holding a small plate and bringing it to her mouth with a silver fork. She also learned to sit sideways, showing her snow-white face from the slit of the cheongsam. Cut off the leg.

That's how women sit in cafes.

Axiu has only been born for a year, according to human calculation, she is only one year old. Although she has a human body, her mind is still like a child. Bai Zhun finds it interesting to see her learning things like a human.

When Axiu had had enough fun, Bai Zhun took out the yellow talisman from his sleeve and handed it to Axiu: "Put this on the door."

Knowing his existence, Wang Qiufang didn't dare to look for Huo Zhenye again, Bai Zhun hid her whereabouts, and when she came, he caught her and sent her to where she should go.

In the middle of the night, the western clock in the suite rang "kuang kuang", Huo Zhenye suddenly opened his eyes, shook his head to wake himself up, and fell asleep.

The window in the room was still wide open, and the night wind from the Huangpu River was pouring in. The river wind carried a smell of water. Huo Zhenye saw the white gauze curtains fluttering, walked to the window, and wanted to close the window.

The sound of dancing and music could be faintly heard outside the window, and Huo Zhenye suddenly woke up.

On the night of Jin Dangui's death, there was also the sound of dancing and music. After her death, half of the residents of the Licha Hotel left, and the dance hall downstairs was temporarily closed, so there was no music.

This is another dream.

Huo Zhenye was aware of this, but he didn't wake up. He heard a "squeak" sound coming from the suite, and walked over.

There is no light or fire inside the door, and with a bit of moonlight, you can roughly see the shape of the four-poster bed. The curtains on the bed are hanging down, and a pair of figures are intertwined inside.

He had dreamed of this scene last night.

Huo Zhenye leaned against the door frame, touched his suit pocket, took out a silver cigarette case from it, picked out a cigarette, lit one, and took a puff.

Youyouran blew out a smoke ring, waiting for the end of the scene on the bed.

A man's gasping voice came from the tent: "Come with me, I'm rich enough for us to leave Shanghai and live in peace."

The "squeak" paused briefly, and the woman screamed: "Aren't you Huo Qishao?"

He knew that he had admitted to the wrong person, but both of them were in a critical moment, entangled with each other, the man said: "I will treat you well all my life, and we will not be separated in life or death."

Huo Zhenye raised his brows, and put his hand holding the cigarette aside, it didn't happen last night.

The woman "slapped" the man's face, whimpered twice, and asked him, "How do you know I'm here?"

The man was jubilant, and he was not angry when he was beaten: "I saw you tipping the footman, and I bribed him to open the door for you."

Jin Dangui was exposed face-to-face, but she was not ashamed, and wanted to push Liu Da away, but she couldn't bear to push him away at this moment: "I said, let's be happy, if you want me to follow you, can you afford me? "

The sound finally stopped, and Jin Dangui turned on the lamp.

Huo Zhenye saw the person on the bed clearly through the light, Jin Dangui was leaning on the soft pillow, her blush was still on her face, and she looked at Liu Da angrily: "Get out of here quickly, don't spoil my good deeds!"

She even wanted to stay and wait for Huo Zhenye.

Huo Zhenye shook the cigarette ash, and the ash fell on the carpet in fine clusters. Could it be that when he attended the reception, he looked like he was being taken advantage of?

Liu Daban knelt down, pleading in his voice: "I'm really rich, and this money is enough for you to spend. You don't have to curry favor with your son, and you don't have to dance with others anymore. Let's leave Shanghai."

Jin Dangui rolled his eyes: "Are you rich? How many money do you have seen before you dare to say that you are rich?"

She closed the lace nightgown on her body: "Do you know what Huo Qishao's net worth is? One or two thousand cash, he spent it at will. You're just playing tricks on the pier, and you won't be able to keep up if you reincarnate in your next life."

Huo Zhenye finished smoking one cigarette and lit another. If it wasn't in a dream, he really wanted to tell Jin Dangui that his birth was not very good.

Liu Da was silent for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "A box of small yellow croakers, is it enough for you to come with me?"

Jin Dangui's eyes were elsewhere, but when he heard "Little Yellow Fish" turn his head, he glanced at Liu Da up and down: "Where did you get the gold bars?"

"Is that enough for you?"

"What if you lied to me?" Jin Dangui believed it a little bit, Liu Da, a brat, has never let go of such cruel words to her. Could it be that he is really rich?

Liu laughed: "I know you don't believe me." He took out a small box and handed it to Jin Dangui.

As soon as the lid was opened, Jin Dangui gasped. Inside were a pair of diamond earrings, the size of fingernails, shining brightly when lit.

Jin Dangui's eyes were fixed on the diamond and could not be picked out. No guest had ever treated her so generously. This pair was bigger and clearer than Su Manli's pair. She had always wanted such a pair of diamond earrings.

"I still have a lot of things like this, follow me, it's all yours."

Holding the earrings, Jin Dangui smiled openly, leaned over, and touched Liu Da's chest with his arm: "Where did this come from?"

Liu Dayi paused: "This is... this is given to me by my master. Don't worry, no one will track down the source."

Jin Dangui knew that he had a senior sister who was betrothed, and that Liu Da was a descendant of the ancient Caimen, but she never took it seriously. When she heard it now, she also guessed that it was a dowry from his master to his daughter.

But she squeezed her palms together, held the pair of earrings in her palms, lightly scratched Liu Da's back, and said delicately: "It's really nice of you to treat me."

Liu Da was caressed by her, and he became drunk again: "You follow me, it's all yours."

Jin Dangui chuckled softly, got up from the bed, went to the table and poured Liu Da a glass of wine, the two drank together, and there was another sound in the room.

Huo Zhenye knew Liu Da's background clearly in the past few days. He was an orphan who was adopted by his master and taught him the ability to juggle for a living.

Unexpectedly, he stole the dowry from his fiancée and gave it to his lover, and wanted to escape with the money.

Huo Zhenye despised Liu Da for being a human being, he pinched out the cigarette in his hand, turned around and wanted to leave, to see if there was anything else to be said for his dream.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he looked up, he saw a blurry black shadow in the round mirror hanging in the room in front of him.

"Di da, di da, di da" the sound came from far to near, and once, the black shadow walked from the dark to the bright.

A woman with disheveled hair and a lace nightgown walked behind Huo Zhenye.

She raised her face slowly, the place where the eyes should have been completely hollowed out, leaving only a pair of bloody holes.

Blood dripped all over his face, dripping down his pointed chin onto the floor, the dripping sound Huo Zhenye heard was the sound of blood dripping.

This one is Jindangui, who is that on the bed?

Huo Zhenye looked into the room, there was no one on the bed, the Jin Dangui behind him stretched out his hands, groping to come in like a blind man.

Huo Zhenye had never seen Jin Dangui's death. When he woke up, Jin Dangui's body had been found.It is said that Liu Da didn't see him either. He was so drunk that he passed out, so he was escorted back to the arrest room and poured cold water to wake him up.

If he wakes up and "looks at each other" with Jin Dangui, won't he be frightened crazy?

Jin Dangui's two arms were stiff, his body turned left and right, his hands were like sharp claws, and he brushed against Huo Zhenye's chest.

Huo Zhenye knew it was a dream, but he couldn't help but take another step back, pressing his back against the cabinet in the room.

Jin Dangui lost her eyes and her ears became extremely sensitive. She tilted her head slightly and followed the sound.

Huo Zhenye had no way to retreat, Jin Dangui seemed to know that he was right in front of his claws, and the corner of his mouth curled up: "Give me your eyes."

No matter what she looks like, there are two blood holes on her face at this time, and the smile on her lips is very penetrating. Huo Zhenye's heart beats fast, but he waits for Jin Dangui's arm to stretch out in front of him, and sees the timing. dodge.

Jin Dangui's fingers went straight into the cabinet door, and then pulled out with a "pop", leaving several blood holes on the wooden door.

She said angrily, "You can't hide!"

Huo Zhenye walked around the bed to the corner, and Jin Dangui touched it. He casually picked up the comb on the table and threw it away, and the comb fell by the bedside.

Hearing the sound, Jin Dangui smiled triumphantly, turned around and chased after the comb where it fell.

Huo Zhenye took the opportunity to leave, but there was a carpet in the room, but there was no outside. He stepped on the floor and touched the sole of his leather shoes. Jin Dangui suddenly turned around, Xuedong looked over: "You lied to me!"

Huo Zhenye started to run violently. He ran to the door, but the door handle was locked tightly, and he couldn't open it no matter what.

Jin Dangui was already behind him, Huo Zhenye turned around with his gun out, pulled the trigger, and hit her in the heart, the bullet pierced through.

Jin Dangui lowered his head and "looked" at his chest, there was not a single scar there.

The bullet blocked her, but it was useless to her. She was about to be pierced by her sharp claws. Huo Zhenye had a flash of inspiration, took out something from his pocket, and threw it at her.

It was the paper shackles that Bai Zhun wrapped in the envelope.

The shackles became real when they fell to the ground, and the iron locks firmly bound Jin Dangui's feet. She wailed and fell to the ground.

She was even more angry because her feet were bound, she propped up her body with two sharp claws, and just about to reach out to grab Huo Zhenye's throat, she stopped.

The door lock was turned from the outside.

Even if she had no eyes, Huo Zhenye could feel her panic.

Jin Dangui turned his body upside down section by section, using his hands as his feet, and crawled quickly on the floor.

Climbed to the window and jumped out.

Bai Zhun came in from the door in a wheelchair: "Run away?" He glanced at Huo Zhenye, tsk, it's really useless.

The author has something to say: Huo: Who are you calling useless?come here!you try!
