In order to complete the play and confuse the villagers and the spies who might be hiding somewhere, the three "reporters" discussed and discussed, and did not withdraw in a hurry, but continued to wander around Dayangtun Village in a decent manner, casually stopping someone to conduct an interview about last night's "chess and card room chaos". After eleven o'clock in a blink of an eye, Yugong decided to go to the casino where the accident occurred. "If you don't shoot the scene of the incident, this level of interview is too amateurish. Since the "cameraman" was going, the "on-camera reporter" and the "miscellaneous driver" should accompany him.

There are no yellow cordons around the casino, and there are no white seals or notices on the walls and doors. As in the daytime, no one approached the compound adjacent to the public toilets, and of course there may not be any visitors at night from now on. The red iron door is wide open, and standing at the gate of the courtyard, you can see the "chess and card room" like a confinement room. "This place is as big as a warehouse, and it's too aggrieved to call it a room. Xing Tian said casually. Among the three, Yu Gong stood the most forward, and he inspected the structure of the large iron door, especially carefully observing the latch and keyhole, and saw no traces left by prying. "Go in and take a look. He turned back to Xingtian and Zhuo Wu and said.

Xingtian and Zhuo Wu understood at this time that Yugong wanted to come to the casino not on a whim, but a fake show. "What do you want to see?" After entering the hospital, Xing Tian saw that the courtyard was empty, so he asked Yugong. Yugong looked around, asked him and Zhuo Wu to put down the interview equipment, and said, "Xingtian, you are an expert in the on-site investigation, let's go and take a look at the electric switch first." ”

"It's not broken at all, and the fuse is good. Xing Tian checked the electrical box under the north wall of the courtyard, "The power outage last night may have been caused by tripping." "It could also be that someone pulled the gates. Yu Gong added. "Huh?" "Come, let's go into the chess and card room and take a look." ”

The pomp and circumstance of the "chess and card room" is gone. All the tables and chairs in the room were overturned, some of the chair legs were broken, mahjong, poker, and pai gow were scattered all over the floor, and the combination table and glass cabinet guarded by the manager were also smashed, and the only thing that remained in its original shape was the troublesome freezer, which they didn't know was the cause of all the troubles, and its four corners were covered with the slag of broken glass bottles. Zhuo Wu was sighing in his heart that this scene was as tragic as a battlefield, and suddenly heard Xingtian say to himself: "The two big light bulbs, the chance of being suffocated at the same time is too small." Lamp rope ...... There is one on the east wall and one on the west wall, and at least two people have to pull it together. It's better to pull the gate to save trouble. Yu Gong also pointed to the two light bulbs: "Do you remember? The villagers we interviewed said that the people who came here to play were playing cards, and the two lights suddenly went out, and after a few minutes they came back on. Then, they found that the money was gone. I asked Lao Jiu that what this group of gamblers lost was not their wallets, but the gambling money spread out on the table. As a result, the gamblers somehow said that the people in the market had stolen their gambling money and hid it, so the two groups choked and took action. "You're saying that the blackout and the subsequent calls were all artificially pulled by the brakes, and someone took advantage of the power outage to steal gambling money in the few minutes. Zhuo Wu's thinking also became clear, "Could it be that the people watching the field did it? they are guarding and stealing themselves?" Yu Gong nodded: "It's possible, after all, the people watching the field are familiar with the structure of the courtyard of the house and the location of the electric switch." "Did the spectators really steal gambling and were they discovered by the gamblers?" how many of them were there?" Xing Tian asked Yugong. If you don't count Chang Jinzhu, Lao Jiu said that three of the people taken away by the police were from the casino, two men and one woman, the man was the manager and deputy manager of the casino, and the woman was the waiter. Whether there were other casino personnel present, whether the three people stole the gambler's money, he is not clear, it depends on the results of the police interrogation. Xingtian understood and said to Yugong: "There are a few acquaintances of mine in Hebei, I will try to inquire." It's just that this case is a little smaller, and I don't know if they can manage it. He pondered for a while, and then said, "In addition, I feel that the people watching the scene are not guilty of self-theft. "Why?" "I've gambled before, and the dealer wants to trap gamblers, and there are too many tricks." It is certainly more convenient to use your hands and feet on dice and poker than to engage in this power outage accident, and the money you can get is no less than this. Zhuo Wu also said: "Xingtian has a point, this method of stealing in his own house is stupid and risky. Besides, the people who come here to gamble are all from the village, and according to the rules of the village, the rabbits don't eat the grass by the nest!" "That's right, you're all right. The two of them just hit the deepest doubt in Yugong's heart, "We also didn't find out whether the chief manager and the waitress had been staying in this room since the power outage came to the call, which also needs to be learned from the police interrogation." If the spectators didn't steal the money, there are two possibilities. One is that gamblers can't afford to lose, so they take advantage of the power outage to blame the people watching the casino, so that things are simple. The other is that the gambler's gambling money was indeed stolen, but not by the casino person. Combined with the process of power outage, the situation is more complicated. ”

"Yu Gong, can I ask a question?" Seeing that Yu Gong and Xing Tian were both silent in thought, Zhuo Wu opened his mouth. "Ask, what's not to ask?" said Yu Gong. "Why are you so concerned about the casino? It is supposed that the investigation of the case here should be the job of the police, and it has nothing to do with the 'Forbidden Land' operation. ”

"No, there is a direct relationship. Yugong didn't expect Zhuo Wu to ask this, so he sighed, "It's about ...... I have to find out if Lao Jiu is involved in this matter. In case he was involved, and to what extent. ”

"Do you suspect Lao Jiu?" Xingtian's eyes widened, just like Zhuo Wu, "You're not...... Didn't you trust him with your life?" "My trust in him hasn't changed at all. Yu Gong said solemnly, "What I trust is his personality, philosophy and code of conduct. But you can also see how difficult it is to stick to certain principles in this place of Dayangtun. I'm worried that in order to stick to his principles, he will have to resort to some unprincipled means......" "Just like us?" asked Zhuo Wu boldly. "Probably...... It is imperative that if he does do do so, I have to determine the extent of the impact of his methods. "In that case, why should we retreat to Beijing?" Xing Tian did not quite understand the intention of "retreating back to Beijing" at the beginning, and at this time he was eager to get a clear answer. "First, Dayangtun Village does not have a place for us to stay, our supplies are limited, and the cave is not a place to stay for a long time. Second, after inspecting the casino today, the team stayed here, and from all aspects, it could not play any role. ”

"Do you mean that the 'Forbidden Land' operation has been suspended?" Regarding Yugong's attitude, Xing Tian was speechless, and Zhuo Wu asked with confusion. "Not yet. After returning to Beijing, we will continue to do some investigations. When we confirm that there are no problems and no hidden dangers, we will suspend the operation. "Yugong, in the village committee, what did Lao Jiu tell you?" Xing Tian saw some clues. Yu Gong glanced at the messy casino and said to the two group members, "Let's not stay in this casino for too long, let's go." It's not very convenient in the village, and I'll tell you all on the way back to Beijing. ”

When he went out, Xingtian was at the forefront. He subconsciously poked his head out, and his whole body immediately shrank back like an electric shock and stuck to the wall next to the door. Seeing this, Yugong Zhuowu hurriedly stopped his steps. "What's wrong?" asked Yu Gong in a whisper. "There were two people peeping outside the courtyard gate. "Who is it?" "I didn't see it clearly, but I saw a little yellow hair with dyed hair." ”

Zhuo Wu couldn't cry or laugh, thinking to himself, "You just recognize the miscellaneous hair", and said in his mouth: "It can't be the spy just now, right?" Xing Tian quietly glanced out again, "I can't see clearly." Yugong, what trick do you use?"

After two or three minutes, the voyeur saw the three "reporters" walking out of the casino unhurriedly, and kept turning their heads to look inside. The oldest of them sighed, "Good fellow, this house has been smashed more thoroughly than a robbery." The big young man said, "Okay, the people, the officials, and the field have all investigated, go back and sort it out, and prepare to publish it." He looked at the "chess and card room" with his hands on his hips for a while, and let out a lot of emotion, and the three of them went to clean up the cameras and microphones on the ground. Xing Tian leaned into Yugong's ear and said, "They didn't leave. "Really?" "And came in. The small duty room at the door, which was open when we came in, is now closed. "It's bold. Xingtian, Zhuo Wu, don't scare them away, take them down! But pay attention to your skills, don't expose them. The two people in the gatekeeper's duty room shrank at this time, not daring to easily focus their eyes on the crack in the door, only to hear the "reporters" walking towards the door, and the footsteps were getting closer and closer. Suddenly, a reporter shouted, "Hey, wait, you see, there's a little house here." Let's go in and take a look, maybe there's something new!"

The two of them looked at each other in a panic. They curled up in the doorway like rats, leaning their shoulders against the door. I didn't have time to think about where to hide, and with a "bang", the door was kicked open, and the screams of the two knocked them over. "Yo, someone!" Xingtian, who kicked the door, pretended to be surprised, and hurriedly stepped into the house to help the two, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, what are you doing?" Zhuo Wu also came in to help, blocking the door. He saw that these were two underage boys, the one who had not dyed his hair was a bit similar to the boy who had stopped to look at the persimmon tree before, but he had no impression of the other with half a yellow head.

"Don't, don't...... To the surprise of the "reporters," the two boys had no intention of resisting or running away from the door, but shrank back until their backs were against the wall, and begged for mercy in panic. Xingtian and Zhuo Wu were still thinking about how to grasp the proportions of their moves, so that they could be taken down without being suspected of the identity of the reporter.

"What do you see?" asked Zhuo Wu kindly, "Don't be afraid, we're journalists." If you have any difficulties, tell us and we will help you get justice. "I really didn't see anything!" Seeing Zhuo Wu approaching, the half-dyed head was almost crying, "I didn't see you, I didn't see you!" The one who didn't dye his hair also broke away from Xingtian's hand and screamed, "I didn't see it either, I didn't see it either!"

The three "reporters" looked at each other, and Zhuo Wu said: "Aren't you just looking at us now? Why do you say you didn't see it?" The poor half of the yellow head was already messed up: "Yes, yes, I just saw it now, I didn't see it last night, I didn't see anything......

"Did you see me last night?" and where and where is this place?" But this kindness made half of the yellow head feel furious: "No, no, no! It's too dark, I don't see anything!" Zhuo Wu's big open hand reached out to him, he thought he would be choked by the neck like last night, and he closed his eyes in fright, not wanting this hand to just caress his head. "Little brother, you're mistaken. I was in Beijing last night. Unless you're also in Beijing, whoever you see can't be me. "Yes, yes, it's not you, it's not you......" "Can you tell me what you saw last night?"

"Ah, I didn't see anything!" the half-yellow head suddenly thought of rushing out and running for his life, and sat up sharply to break out of the door. When his companions saw this, they also got up and ran out. But Zhuo Wu and Xing Tian each raised an arm to stop their waists and clamped them, and they were like eagles catching chickens, so that the two of them could not move. "Well, I really can't help you. Look at this!" Hearing the two shouting "Let go of me", Zhuo Wu took out the fake press card that had been prepared in his coat pocket with his idle hand, and shook it in front of half of his yellow head, "This is my interview card, see? We are really reporters." "Really, proven. Really, you are really journalists. The two boys were in shock. Zhuo Wu saw that they believed it, and took the opportunity to say: "Then can there be a fake?" Okay, tell us, what is your name, what did you see last night?" The undyed hair shook his head: "No, I really didn't see it, I wasn't here yesterday." After that, he twisted his face and looked at half of the yellow head. Half of the yellow head couldn't stand everyone's eyes falling on him together, and lowered his head silently.

"Little brother, our TV station has a reward mechanism. The fool outside the door spoke, "For the person who reports news clues to us, once the clues he provides are confirmed and reported, we will give him a bonus." The bigger the lead, the higher the prize. Hearing these two words, half of the yellow head raised his face suspiciously, and his eyes shone brightly.
