The strange case of the demon book

Huo Wen, who woke up the next day, took the jade ring and looked at it to see if there was anything special about it. Then when he tried to put it on his hand, he discovered the difference of the jade ring.Standing at the window and taking advantage of the sunset of breakfast, I finally saw the strange symbols engraved in the jade ring.Huo Wen touched the inside with his fingers, the subtle bumpy texture was indeed engraved with talismans.

This is a good thing.Look at the mark on my neck, it's still there.But it didn't get any worse.

"Zhang Jue, who the hell are you..."

After Huo Wencai got up, he went out to the grocery store and bought a red string to string the jade ring around his neck, and then went to the hospital to remove the bandage.

After arriving at the Western Hospital, the young doctor who unwrapped his bandage looked like he had swallowed a fly, and Huo Wen felt a little strange. He had no grudges with this doctor, why did he see his expression as if he had seen a ghost.

The doctor had a stiff smile on his face: "You're recovering well, I'll change the dressing on your head again. In a few days, you can come and take off the bandage."

Huo Wencai said: "No need, give me the medicine. I'll apply it myself when I go to bed at night." At night, he has to go to the ballroom of the Minghui Hotel. What's the matter with a bandage wrapped around his head?

"Ah, oh. Well then, I'll get you some medicine." The young doctor in a white coat hurried to get him some medicine.

Huo Wencai was really confused about the doctor's attitude towards him.The doctor gave him the medicine and sent him out.Huo Wen left with the medicine in his hand.

Huo Wencai took the medicine in his hand directly to Ma Wenrui on the Town God's Temple, and Ma Wenrui greeted him: "Here we come."

Ma Wenrui's voice improved a lot, he made a bowl of rice balls for Huo Wencai, Huo Wencai asked, "If it's daytime, how can you sell at this stall?"

"Sell them on the shore of White Swan Lake at night, the floating market there is very lively." Ma Wenrui said.

It is very close to Shamian Island. The British and French colonists on Shamian Island designated Shamian Island as their land and did not allow Chinese people to go up there.The people of Guangzhou City naturally hated this shame.However, I heard that in the past two years, the colonists of Shamian Island calculated that Chen Suisheng, a Cantonese businessman, wanted to seize his winery, so the younger brother led the Cantonese gentry to cut off the supply of Shamian Island and forced Shamian Island. The British and French colonists, the undissolved military government, and Cantonese businessmen sat on the negotiating table as equals.

Wei Zong, who was still the Minister of Military Affairs of the military government at the time, made a lot of efforts, and finally the colonists on Shamian Island were forced to bow their heads.

These proud cocks also have a day to bow their heads.

"When we change shifts, I'll go and see the excitement."

Although it is still a turbulent era, Guangzhou City, one of the largest cities in the south, has been baptized by wars for many years and still stands here firmly without falling down.

"Okay. After a few days, when we recover from our injuries, we will go back to work." Ma Wenrui said.

When Ma Wenrui mentioned this matter, Huo Wencai said that he was currently investigating the case of the faceless actor.Ma Wenrui exclaimed: "Brother, don't die!"

"I've made up my mind." Huo Wencai said.

Ma Wenrui smiled wryly: "You are too serious. Since you want to investigate, I will investigate with you."

"Thank you Wen Rui, you are indeed my good brother." Huo Wencai said.

After Huo Wencai talked with Ma Wenrui, he went to Taiping Street.At this time, there are workers in Leshan Theater who are busy renovating the facilities inside.

Huo Wen only entered the Leshan Theater when the receptionist of the Leshan Theater was not there.Those workers thought he was the guard of Leshan Theater and didn't say anything.

After Huo Wencai got on the stage, he touched the backstage of Leshan Theater.In the backstage room, there is a dressing room for the troupe.There are plenty of rations inside.Before Huo Wen walked to the vanity mirror, there were headgears for Zhengdan and Huadan left on the table.

Huo Wencai raised his eyes to look in the mirror, only to see a shadow flashing across the mirror with an actor's costume hanging in it.

Huo Wencai threw the bead flower in his hand, and the man took it.Huo Wencai threw out his hand and attacked the opponent, the man avoided Huo Wencai's fist and grabbed the costume and sent it to Huo Wencai, Huo Wencai was covered by the costume on his face and eyesight.It's convenient to run away.

Huo Wen just tore off the costume that covered him and chased after him.Huo Wencai only saw the figure of the other party, who looked like a young man, who seemed to be very familiar with Leshan Theater.The opponent has kung fu foundation, but his hand stretching is better than the opponent.He said, "Stop!"

But the opponent ran even faster.Huo Wencai didn't want to attract the attention of the repair workers in the theater, so he didn't force the person in front of him. Seeing that the person was about to jump over the wall and leave, Huo Wencai grabbed the person's hand with his strength and pulled him off the wall. .The man was caught by Huo Wencai and fell off the wall. Huo Wencai was surprised when he saw the other person's appearance - it was the young martial artist from the Yongming Troupe.

During Huo Wencai's negligence, the boy stabbed Huo Wencai's eyes with two fingers.Huo Wencai let go of the young man and shouted: "You want to blind me, you have such a vicious mind!" The young man didn't care what Huo Wencai said, and wanted to run away again after he got free.Huo Wencai showed a malicious smile and flew to grab the young man and took him away from Leshan Theater.

In the red house on Taiping Street, Huo Wencai took the boy to the red house to borrow a place from his brother who was on duty during the day.The brother who was on duty during the day looked at the boy in his hand and exclaimed, "Isn't this Wusheng Wangxiang from the Yongming Troupe?"

"I have something to do with him." Huo Wencai said.

"Please." The brother who was on duty during the day smiled and left the red house to Huo Wencai and the young Wusheng named Wangxiang.

Huo Wencai looked at the boy, and the boy's face was extremely angry, and there was a trace of resentment in this anger.It seemed that he and Huo Wen had a mortal enmity.Huo Wencai said helplessly, "Don't look at me like that."

Wang Xiang pursed his lips and frowned.

"You are a martial artist from the Yongming Theater Troupe, and I like your troupe's performances very much. Leshan was burglarized, why are you in Leshan Theater? Could it be that the burglar at Leshan Theater has something to do with you?" Huo Wencai He slandered without blushing.

But the young Wusheng still gritted his teeth and looked at him angrily.After waiting for a while, Wangxiang still didn't speak.Huo Wencai continued: "The Zhengdan in your troupe named Ling Junru sang "A Dream in the Garden" is really good." When Huo Wencai said this, he saw the boy's eyes flicker.But in the end still did not speak.So Huo Wencai began to sing: "The spring is full of thousands of flowers, and the scenery of the three springs has never been seen before. The jade swallows circle the Cuixuan, the butterflies are flying and the music is continuous, and the thousands of flowers are blooming..."

The boy's expression changed.Huo Wencai continued to hum, and he was already familiar with it when he heard it every night when he was on duty.While singing, the boy suddenly shouted: "Stop singing! Stop singing!"

Only then did Huo Wen stop: "Why don't you let me sing?" Only then did Huo Wen continue singing.

Wangxiang was trembling all over, his eyes filled with tears of fear: "Stop singing! Stop singing!" Huo Wencai visited Wangxiang with a cruel smile on his face: "When I was working at night, I could hear the song from the music every night. "A Dream in the Garden" came from Shanshan Theater. Then I went in to have a look, and guess what I saw."

Wang Xiang took a step back in fear.Huo Wencai pulled Wangxiang to his eyes and said word by word: "He is a faceless gentleman."

"Ah—" Wangxiang fell to the ground in fright.

Sure enough, this troupe has problems.Everyone in the troupe is more problematic.

Huo Wencai let Wangxiang fall to the ground intimidated by him: "You go back."

Wang Xiang raised his teary face, not understanding that Huo Wencai let him go just like that.

Huo Wencai stood up, looked down at Wangxiang and said meaningfully: "We will meet again soon."

Wang Xiang scrambled and left the red house.Only then did Huo Wen see the cigarettes and matches left by his brother who was on duty during the day.He took out a lighter, put it in his mouth, took a sip, and coughed violently: "What's so good about this thing?"

However, Huo Wencai finished smoking the whole cigarette.After the brother on the day shift came back, Huo Wencai chatted with him for a while and then left.

It was getting dark.Huo Wencai spent a few copper coins outside and ate a big bowl of noodles before heading to the ballroom of Minghui Hotel.

After Huo Wencai gave the copper coins to the owner of the noodle stall, he stuffed the money bag.

There is not much money in it.Besides doing errands, I still have spare time every day, why don't I just make some money like Ma Wenrui?But for now, let's settle the matter of Leshan Theater's shameless uprightness first.

When Huo Wencai arrived at the ballroom of Minghui Hotel, he arrived early.It was just getting late at this time, and Zhang Jue hadn't come yet.After the setting sun sinks from the Yuejiang River, the night in Guangzhou City begins to be lively.People who came to the ballroom of Minghui Hotel entered one after another.

Huo Wencai stretched his neck to watch, wanting to see the woman he never forgot in his heart.

"Huo Patrolman." Zhang Jue's voice called back the demented Huo Wencai.Huo Wencai's ears turned red: "You are here."

"Well, let's go in." Zhang Jue said.

"it is good."

So Huo Wencai followed Zhang Jue in, and the waiter in front of the door did not stop Huo Wencai this time.

Huo Wencai's eyes widened after he followed Zhang Jue into the ballroom of Minghui Hotel. The ballroom was richly decorated.Tie Ye, the owner of the ballroom of the Hui Hotel, really invested a lot of money, and installed lights inside to illuminate the entire ballroom brilliantly.There are also things decorated with foreigners inside.

Zhang Jue took Huo Wencai to a table in the middle of the ballroom and sat down at a table, after which a waiter brought the wine.

Zhang Jueqian took a sip of the wine and smiled lightly: "The wine brewed by the small boss winery is delicious."

Brewed by Shidi Winery?Huo Wen just took a sip, he doesn't know how to taste wine.But you can really taste it.No wonder the colonists on Shamian Island counted on him.

During Huo Wencai's time in Guangzhou, he already knew that his younger brother Chen Suisheng was the youngest of the Cantonese merchants, so the merchants called him "Little Boss".He owns two flour mills and one winery.It is rumored that he intends to invest in a canning factory.

"Zhang Jue, are you familiar with my junior brother?" Huo Wencai asked.Zhang Jue knew who Huo Wencai was referring to, so he just said, "There are a few connections."

Oh, that's not very familiar.

When the ballroom of the Minghui Hotel was almost full of guests, Zhang told Huo Wencai, "The one with the pocket watch on your right is Boss Lin from Leshan Theater."

Huo Wen just looked over - he was a dignified middle-aged man.
