Volume 1 Small Town Turmoil Chapter 46 Flaws
"This is...."
Qiu Rui, who was smiling just now, saw the jade token in Li Qiang's hand, and his face instantly became serious.
"Obsidian, bandit!"
"Brother Li, what's going on?" Qiu Rui's voice was very low, revealing a murderous aura in his eyes.
Li Qiang's expression also became serious, and he told the story of Li Luowu's attack on the Awakening Compound that day, including the attack by Wu Yu's faction. It's just that he didn't mention the result of Li Luowu's battle with the bandits, and the death of the bandit Lao Qi.
Wu Yu on the side listened to Li Qiang's narration and bowed his head and was silent.
After listening to Li Qiang's narration, Qiu Rui frowned, thought alone for a while, and said:
"Brother Li, what do you think about this matter?"
"I only encountered one bandit this time, I can't say the specifics. But..."Li Qiang turned his head to look at Wu Yu on the side, and continued:
"The time when the thieves entered the Awakening Compound was when Mayor Wu sent someone to provoke him, isn't that a bit too coincidental?"
"Oh, is Captain Li Wu suspecting that I am colluding with the bandits?" Wu Yu smiled and said.
"Otherwise?" Li Qiang said contemptuously.
"Then do you have evidence? If you don't have evidence, don't spew blood! I'm afraid that it is not you who colluded with the bandits, but who framed me!"
"Huh!"
"Okay, okay, don't argue anymore!" Qiu Rui, who was sitting in the center, said loudly, and it could be seen that he was not in a very good mood at this time.
"The contradiction between the two, please settle it privately, the old man has no right and no interest in interfering. ”
"But if you get into a bandit, it's extraordinary. Qiu Rui said with a gloomy face.
"These brutes burn, kill, loot and do all kinds of evil, they are a thorn in the side of the Heavenly City! In order to suppress them, the old man's son also died at their hands! I swore that I would not share the sky with them!"
"If the two really collude with the bandits, don't blame the old man for being ruthless!"
The threat reverberated heavily throughout the room, and Wu Yu and Li Qiang both sat silent.
Qiu Rui wanted to see some flaws in their faces, but there was no gain, so he asked again:
"Brother Li, how is the bandit now?"
"The bandits have been captured alive and are now being held with me. ”
"What..." Wu Yu was stunned when he heard this, and his doubts suddenly entered his mind, and the expression on his face became unnatural at this moment, and then immediately returned to normal.
And this change in just a moment was also captured by Li Qiang.
"Oh, you mean the bandits were captured alive, who did that?"
Li Qiang smiled and said, "It's Li Luowu." ”
"Amazing, this kid!" Qiu Rui sighed.
"The bandit's strength may not be as good as this kid's, but this combat experience is far superior to him. My son, a junior warrior, also died at the hands of bandits whose strength was far inferior to his!"
After Qiu Rui finished praising it, he continued:
"Since this bandit is in our possession, I propose that he be interrogated at once!
"This time, I'm going to grab them by the tail and pull them out!"
Qiu Rui's positive speech made Li Qiang stunned, he didn't expect Qiu Rui to be so active and take the lead in saying what he wanted to say.
"That's fine. Li Qiang said secretly in his heart, and then he immediately agreed:
"I agree with Mr. Qiu. ”
After saying this, Li Qiang turned his head to Wu Yu and said slowly:
"Since Mayor Wu said that he has no connection with the bandits, he naturally won't refuse to interrogate the three of us together, right?"
At this time, Wu Yu fell into a very chaotic state, and the situation suddenly became like this, what was going on?
Li Qiang said that he captured Lao Qi alive, but the bandits said that Lao Qi was dead. Could it be that Li Qiang used tricks to deceive me? No, no, why do I believe in the bandits so much!
The more Wu Yu thought about it, the more flustered he became, and he put his hands behind his back so as not to let others see that his hands were trembling.
Looking at Li Qiang's confident and decisive appearance, it doesn't seem to be lying, could it be that the thieves poked the basket themselves, in order to avoid the termination of their cooperation with me, they first deliberately hid from me, and then secretly solved the problem by themselves?
A clear logical chain appeared in Wu Yu's mind, and the more he thought about it, the more reasonable it became, maybe it was because these people saw that Wu Xin's special move failed, so they gave up the action of rescuing Lao Qi and gave up on him.
"Mayor Wu?"
Qiu Rui's voice interrupted Wu Yu's thinking, and Wu Yu looked forward and saw Wu Xin and Qiu Rui looking at him together.
"Of course, I'm innocent, what's there to be afraid of? I will naturally go to the interrogation of the three people!"
"However, please take the first step, I will first arrange the matter of my son Wu Xin. ”
Wu Yu said unhurriedly, as if the panic in his heart just now did not exist.
"Mayor Wu, please. The corners of Li Qiang's mouth raised slightly, and he said. The raised corners of his mouth made Wu Yu's heart even more uneasy.
Qiu Rui on the side also nodded, and then left the room with Li Qiang.
"Whew..."Wu Yu, who saw the two leaving, took a deep breath and calmed down his flustered mood.
"I can't jump to conclusions now!I'll wait until I see the thief Lao Qi!" Wu Yu, who had calmed down, walked outside the house and called Feng Fatzi, who had been staying in the courtyard.
"Now go out and check Taomei's whereabouts, including where she has been and what she has done today? ”
"Yes!" Feng Fatzi replied, then turned around and went out.
Wu Yu, who was in the room, tidied up his somewhat messy hair, wiped the sweat just now due to nervousness, and then walked out of the door.
And when Wu Yu left the mansion and walked towards Li Qiang's residence, a figure in a black cloak quietly entered the town mayor's compound, the man seemed to be familiar with the layout of the town mayor's house, and went around all the way, avoiding people coming and going, and finally he entered a house near the compound.
There was a bed in the house, and on top of the bed, there was a man covered in medicinal cloth, and this person was Wu Xin! Wu Xin closed his eyes and seemed to be still unconscious.
The stranger walked up to Wu Xin gently, took off the coat and hat on his head, and revealed his true face - he was the thief Lin Jie who had clashed with Wu Xin a few days ago.
"I really didn't expect it to be you. That Lin Jie was expressionless and said softly.
At this time, Wu Xin suddenly opened his eyes, and a weird smile appeared on his face.
...
"Knock knock. ”
Outside Li Qiang's house, Wu Yu knocked on the closed door. His hands kept rubbing back and forth, and his heart was full of thoughts.
Ever since he left the town, he had found that there were people watching him all the time, and that the people who were staring at him would change everywhere he went, indicating that these people had already been arranged.
"It seems that it is impossible to sneak away. Wu Yu secretly said in his heart, although he never thought of running away, this feeling of having no way out made him feel very unhappy.
If he really escaped, then it would be confirmed that he had colluded with the bandits, and in this way, he would have only one end, to take refuge in the bandits!
"Alas..."Wu Yu sighed, and then knocked on the door of Li Qiang's mansion. I continued to think:
"I don't know what the truth is now, this matter is very likely to be Li Qiang to deceive me and let me show my feet, even if there is really that old seven in it, it is very likely that Tao Mei used cheats to change. ”
Wu Yu remembered that Tao Mei pretended to be Li Qiang and confused him for more than two months, which eventually led to his failure, and he was angry in his heart. It was also because of the lesson last time that he asked Feng Fatzi to investigate Tao Mei's whereabouts.
At this time, Wu Yu frowned, and had other thoughts in his heart.
"Although it is unlikely, if the thief Lao Qi is really not dead, then the situation will be very unfavorable for me. ”
Wu Yu, who calmed down, did not expand his conjecture infinitely as before, and at this time, he was already able to judge the size of the possibility of things.
"I heard that Lao Qi has a very tough personality and attaches great importance to righteousness, if he is really captured alive, he will definitely not confess to me, because confessing to me is equivalent to confessing to themselves! Besides, he doesn't know that he has been abandoned. ”
Wu Yu analyzed step by step.
"That way, as long as he can shut up, I have a chance to get rid of him secretly!"
"Still, I hope that's not the case!"
Wu Yu conceived these two situations in his mind, and his heart was much more stable.
At this time, the door that Wu Yu had knocked on for a long time opened, and when he looked into the door, a surprised expression suddenly appeared on his face. And his mood instantly fell to the bottom.
"Tao .. Tao Mei!"
Standing in front of him was Tao Mei, whom he attached great importance to.
"So... The person Li Qiang captured alive is really..."
Seeing Wu Yu, Tao Mei didn't speak, but turned around expressionlessly and walked towards an underground room in the courtyard.
Wu Yu also came back to his senses and followed closely. Before he saw that old seven, he must not make up his mind! Wu Yu kept saying this in his heart.
And when he entered the underground chamber, an unprecedented pressure appeared in his heart.
In the secret room, Qiu Rui and Li Qiang sat at the door, in front of them was the bandit Lao Qi, who was full of wounds and dying, and Tao Mei, who he had been thinking about, was by his side at this time, and after leading him here, he left by himself.
"It's finally here, come, sit here. ”
Qiu Rui saw Wu Yu who was stunned at the door and shouted.
"Well... Okay..."Wu Yu slowly came to Qiu Rui's side and sat down, but his eyes kept staring at the thief Lao Qi, as if he wanted to see some flaws.
Li Qiang, who was on the side, saw Wu Yu's appearance, the corners of his mouth curled, and said:
"Now that we've got all the people here, let's get started. ”
After that, Li Qiang's expression became very serious, and there was a cold light in his eyes when he looked at the thief Lao Qi.
"I ask you. Li Qiang said solemnly.
"Name. ”
The thief Lao Qi was silent.
"How many of you are here, and where is the base camp?"
Still silent.
"What are you here for? to rob the people, or is there some other purpose?"
"Also, how did you enter this Fallen God Town through the sentry post of the martial arts team! Could it be that there is something inside the town?"
Every time Li Qiang asked, the thief Lao Qi turned a deaf ear and didn't say a word. Wu Yu, who was on the side, felt a chill down his spine because Li Qiang's questions became sharper and sharper every time.
