Pearl Round Yurun

"I thought it was just an ordinary inn, but now that it's a secret cave with a lot of gold, silver and jewelry hidden, it's different!" Ruan Yuzhu sighed.

Wu Qingyan also deeply believed in this, so he went to the casino with Ruan Yuzhu to investigate whether Zhuo Shaolong was really gambling there at that time - it would be a good way to investigate the case by first excluding those who are less suspected.

The largest casino in the area is called "Huanxi Gambling Square", it is not far from Chengfeng Inn, and it will arrive soon.

Regardless of whether it was Fangchuan or Yunlai, the people in the casino were submissive when they saw the people in the yamen. This proved that in these two places, the underworld had little power, otherwise they would not take the local yamen seriously.In fact, this is also normal. One is a frontier city with a strong armed force, and the other is the capital Kinki with a strong political force. There is no room for the underworld to grow.

Of course, in the final analysis, it is still the state’s attack on civil associations and secret organizations. Although the dark agency is about to break this rule, the dark agency was originally a mature black organization, and it did not grow up in the territory of Wei. This is no wonder the official power of the Wei State.

So when they saw Wu Qingyan coming, the people in the casino immediately came up to greet him, with a very low attitude, and took Wu Qingyan to a separate reception room for the manager to talk to.

However, regarding Zhuo Shaolong, the manager didn't pay attention to it. In the end, the croupiers and thugs in the casino were still required to testify.

The answer I got at the beginning was that Zhuo Shaolong was indeed gambling here at that time, which was proved by almost every banker on the gaming table.

Wu Qingyan didn't pay much attention to it, but Ruan Yuzhu found out that something was wrong. After careful questioning, she realized that Zhuo Shaolong was here that day. Zhang has gambled three times in a row at the gambling table.In this way, no one can prove whether Zhuo Shaolong really stayed here that evening, because everyone just remembered that he gambled, and when exactly did he come to the gaming table in charge of him? There is no exact time when you will leave.

And the distance between Huanxi Casino and Chengfeng Inn is enough for Zhuo Shaolong to leave at any time, and then come back after killing someone.

Ask the thugs on duty at the gate, and they don’t pay attention to the entry and exit of ordinary people like Zhuo Shaolong—you must know that there are many gamblers who have lost all their money and go home to get money or borrow money to gamble, so I don't care at all which people come in and out a few times, and what time each is.

After checking and returning to Chengfeng Inn, Chen San greeted them and told the two of the clues they had just obtained.

Just now Chen San learned from a servant of the Feng family—more precisely, a bodyguard—that the Feng family came here for another reason.

Feng Ting's original wife, Feng Ziyue's mother Liu Shi, who is the head of the Feng family, was originally the niece of Chang Tianpeng, a wealthy businessman in Cangzhou.Because the Feng family has actually been in decline over the years, the actual intention of the Feng family to come here this time is to have a blind date with Chang Yuting, the granddaughter of Chang Tianpeng, the head of the Chang family who will also come here soon, and prepare to get closer. married.

"No wonder Feng Chang asked us to solve the case within three days, because he didn't want to make a fool of himself in front of his in-laws!" Wu Qingyan suddenly realized as if he was authentic.

Ruan Yuzhu smiled: "The ugliness is already out, the question is whether we can save some face."

Chen San then told the two that he had just visited Feng Yu.After inquiring about Feng Yu, I learned that Feng's family has used this place as a place to hide gold since more than ten years ago.

After Wu Qingyan heard this, he paused for a while and said, "Is it certain now that Zhuo Shaolong is the murderer?"

Ruan Yuzhu shook her head: "No, these suspicions cannot immediately arrest him and send him to prison."

"Why?" Wu Qingyan was puzzled—Ruan Yuzhu knew that this guy, like Li Yunyan, found a suspect and took him back to torture to extract a confession regardless of 21 or [-]. How could he consider whether there was any real evidence!

So Ruan Yuzhu took a look at Wu Qingyan and said: "Don't mess around, the princess is in Fangchuan, and the Feng family is not an ordinary character. Don't forget, when Feng Li died, the people from the Feng family rushed upstairs and No trace of the murderer was found. If Zhuo Shaolong was the murderer, where did he hide at that time?"

Wu Qingyan also realized that the princess was here and couldn't mess around, and felt wronged by his impatience, so he took a few deep breaths, calmed down, and then said: "Could it be that the real murderer was hiding in someone's house at that time?" inside?"

Ruan Yuzhu shook her head and said, "People from the Feng family all went back to their houses to check their belongings, but no one found anything unusual."

Wu Qingyan thought for a while: "Then is there anyone from the Feng family who is his accomplice? Both parties get what they need, and maybe there is an exchange of interests, and they cooperated."

Ruan Yuzhu smiled - he is not too stupid after all: "Yeah, I was thinking the same thing. But, what is the motive for the people of the Feng family to kill Fengli? I asked other people in the Feng family, and they all said Although Fengli's temper is not very good, he is basically very considerate to his family members."

After hearing this, Wu Qingyan was at a loss for a while, and could only stand alone and sulk.

"correct."

Ruan Yuzhu said to Wu Qingyan as if remembering something: "Just now I forgot to ask about Zhuo Shaolong's wins and losses in the casino, now I will go to the casino again to find out where Zhuo Shaolong has been in the past two days Gambling is won or lost. If lost, how much is lost. "

Wu Qingyan glanced at Chen San, Chen San understood, nodded to him, and then said to Ruan Yuzhu: "I'll go with Master Ruan."

Now everyone knows that the princess has eyes for Ruan Yuzhu. It is considered bold for Wu Qingyan not to personally protect Ruan Yuzhu—of course he didn't want to be too conspicuous by flattery, so he let Chen San go.

Ruan Yuzhu didn't expect Wu Qingyan to follow her to kill the carbine, and it was the same with Chen Sanxiang to accompany her. In terms of force, Ruan Yuzhu didn't expect these people either. What she needed was their Yamen identities. Not to mention Chen San, even if Wu Qingyan was on the side, it was useless. What Ruan Yuzhu had to do was to let the people around him be cannon fodder and run for his life.

Although this approach would be more inhumane, Ruan Yuzhu didn't really need to sacrifice herself to cover Chen San and Wu Qingyan, who had no friendship, when someone killed them, right?People also eat public food, which is equivalent to the police. Do you need to sacrifice yourself as a "civilian" to save the police?

Don't be kidding, let's fly separately when the disaster is imminent-I don't need to fly faster than the killer, as long as I fly faster than you!

Ruan Yuzhu and Chen San went straight to the casino again.

Unexpectedly, this time in the casino, he saw Zhuo Shaolong who was betting in the dark again—his father died, and he could still gamble so heartlessly, Ruan Yuzhu was convinced.

Zhuo Shaolong was gambling vigorously and didn't see Ruan Yuzhu and Chen San. Chen San still wanted to go forward, but Ruan Yuzhu stopped him and shook his head at him - he didn't come to ask him anyway, he asked. If nothing comes out, it's better to ask the croupiers on a few gaming tables.

After several inquiries, Ruan Yuzhu knew that Zhuo Shaolong had lost more than 200 taels of silver in the past two days.

Ruan and Chen stood on the sidelines and observed Zhuo Shao Erlong for a while, and found that he still left after betting less than three hands on each gaming table.

——Is this his habit or did he do it on purpose?

Thinking of this question in Ruan Yuzhu's mind, she went to some gambling tables where Zhuo Shaolong was not there and asked a few people who seemed to be old gamblers.

Some of those few people actually gambled with Zhuo Shaolong.They told Ruan Yuzhu that Zhuo Shaolong was not like this before.No matter how badly he loses, he rarely changes tables.

After Ruan Yuzhu finished listening, she fell into deep thought again—as expected, was this intentional?

But did he do this on purpose to attract the attention of the yamen, or was he trying to hide his true intentions?

Ruan Yuzhu returned to Chengfeng Inn while thinking about it.

At the door of the inn, I met Wu Qingyan again—it turned out that Zhang Dutou's people came to take over the investigation again, and Wu Qingyan led his people to retreat.

Wu Qingyan told Ruan Yuzhu that his subordinates learned from a maid who worked in the kitchen that Zhuo Chengyu had a very businesslike hobby—he liked to record some special things that he thought were valuable in a Book, in case you need it in the future.

Most of the memories in that notebook were some people's privacy and scandals. It seems that Zhuo Chengyu used them to threaten and blackmail others. To some extent, it may also be a shield for self-protection.This kind of notebook that records black materials has been used since ancient times. I didn't expect to meet it in this place. Ruan Yuzhu also found it very interesting.

And the secret was that Zhuo Chengyu drank too much one night and fell asleep while writing something in that notebook, and was seen by a girl who brought him footwashing water into the room.Although the girl was fired not long after, the secret spread among the people.

"But what does this mean?" Wu Qingyan said a little unhappy.

"It means that there is another motive for killing Zhuo Chengyu," Ruan Yuzhu said.

Wu Qingyan said: "But I still think that Zhuo Chengyu was killed by his own son."

Ruan Yuzhu smiled noncommittally, and said: "Before the case is completely clear, we should suspect that anyone is the murderer, and of course we should also suspect that everyone is not the murderer, and we will even doubt all the evidence and clues that have been obtained."

Wu Qingyan smiled silently, but Chen San was already full of disdain.
