Chapter 565: Exploring the Backyard of the Gambling House at Night
In order to confirm his guess, Leng Qing took two other subordinates and came to the Good Luck Casino late at night to find out.
The watchman walked slowly down the long street, knocking on the hammer in his hand. Leng Qing glanced at the "tiger", and the "tiger" immediately understood, flew behind the husband, and covered his mouth.
Seeing the three black shadows cross the wall and disappear into the backyard of the Good Luck Casino, Ouyang Jian, who was hiding in the shadows, showed a smug smile.
At the beginning, Mr. Wang wrote an anonymous letter in order to lure the forces of Princess Taiping and Empress Wei to Youzhou, so that they could kill each other to deepen their contradictions.
The abolished prince Li Chongjun hid in the backyard of the Good Luck Gambling House, except for the people of "Tiansha" who knew, only Ouyang Jian knew. How to let Wu Yanxiu and Wei Xianyun know the news without revealing flaws, it was very nerve-wracking for Ouyang Jian.
The squatting of the "Hound Dog" gave Ouyang Jian a chance, and if the "Hound Dog" disappeared in the Good Luck Gambling House, it would definitely arouse Leng Qing's suspicions. Leng Qing has made a move, and Wu Yanxiu and Wei Xianyun will definitely hear the rumors, so that his plan can be implemented smoothly.
Sure enough, everything was as Ouyang Jian expected, Leng Qing came to the backyard of the gambling house tonight to find out.
The backyard of the gambling house is not large, but it is also small, and almost all the houses are dark, except for the innermost room with oil lamps.
Leng Qing gestured to the two men, and the three of them tiptoed towards the room.
Suddenly, Leng Qing's feet tightened, and the sound of "jingle bell" sounded in the courtyard.
"Damn it!" Leng Qing cursed secretly.
The other party pulled a lot of silk threads in the courtyard, and they couldn't find it in the dark. One end of the silk thread is fixed, while the other end is tied to the hanging copper bell, as long as someone sneaks in and touches the silk thread, the copper bell will make a sound, which serves as a warning.
In the backyard of a gambling house, there would be such strict precautions, which confirmed Leng Qing's judgment more and more, there must be something wrong here.
Now that his whereabouts have been exposed, Leng Qing simply changed from secret detection to open introductory, and he swept towards the room with both feet.
"Whoosh", a few white dots in the air, with the sound of the wind coming towards Leng Qing.
Leng Qing's feet were off the ground, and he couldn't dodge with his strength, and he was about to be hit by a hidden weapon. Unbeknownst to him, he strangely folded his body in the air and dodged the attack in an unbelievable position.
Leng Qing landed and stabilized his figure, but saw a person standing in front of the door of the room, blocking their way.
"Sure enough, it's you!" Leng Qing stared at the person in front of him and said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, are you from the Heavenly Evil?" ”
The one who blocked Leng Qing's way was the shopkeeper Zhao of the Good Luck Gambling House.
Shopkeeper Zhao still had a signature smile on his face, and slowly said to Leng Qing: "A few people may have gone to the wrong place, if you want to gamble on silver, please go to the front hall, this is Zhao's private house!" ”
"Hand over my men!" Leng Qing's gaze became even colder.
The "hound" disappeared while squatting in the backyard of the Good Luck Casino, and there is no doubt that this matter has nothing to do with Zhao's shopkeeper.
"What men?" Shopkeeper Zhao was inexplicable.
Ouyang Jian killed the "hound" in order to blame Shopkeeper Zhao, and of course Shopkeeper Zhao would not know.
Seeing that the shopkeeper Zhao was pretending to be stupid, Leng Qing said coldly: "I am the chief arrester of the Criminal Department, and I have been ordered to arrest the Qin criminals. ”
"The head arrester of the criminal department?" Shopkeeper Zhao said slowly, "How do I know that you are real or fake, who can prove your identity, you better leave quickly, if you don't leave, I will report to the official!" ”
Of course, Shopkeeper Zhao knew who the person in front of him was, and the reason why he pretended not to know was to delay time.
Leng Qing didn't have time to talk to Shopkeeper Zhao, he took out the iron ruler from his waist and was about to step forward.
"Tiger" and "Sparrow" also took out iron rulers and outflanked Zhao's shopkeeper from both sides.
Seeing that the situation was not good, the shopkeeper Zhao stepped forward with his right foot, took a step to the left, turned sideways, took out a handful of dice from his pocket, and his hands were like shuttles, only listening to the sound of "whoosh", and one by one the dice came out of his hands.
Among Fazheng's several apprentices, Shopkeeper Zhao specializes in practicing hidden weapons. Most of the hidden weapons used by others are flying knives, darts or flying needles, but Zhao's hidden weapons are very special, using dice. The dice are square and square, and it is very difficult to practice.
Shopkeeper Zhao was performing the stunt of the Heavenly Maiden Scattering Flowers at this moment, and the dice in his hand hit the three of them like a storm.
Leng Qing and his two subordinates were not weak, and they shot down the dice one by one with the iron ruler in their hands, although they were not injured, they were also in a hurry, and they couldn't step forward at all.
The dice of the shopkeeper Zhao kept shooting towards Leng Qing and the three of them, Leng Qing was so anxious, if he delayed any longer, it would definitely be bad. He only wanted to know one thing now: how many dice were hidden in Zhao's shopkeeper.
Finally, Shopkeeper Zhao stopped, apparently shooting the dice on his body.
The grievances just now finally had a chance to be released, and Leng Qing was like an arrow shooting, and he went towards Zhao's shopkeeper with a ruler.
Shopkeeper Zhao's fist and foot kung fu is far inferior to the hidden weapon, Leng Qing hit angrily, full of strength, Shopkeeper Zhao didn't dare to hard, so he could only slap his palm sideways on the side of the iron ruler, and slapped the iron ruler a little bit to dodge. Rao was like this, and he was also shocked back three or four steps, just leaving the gap in the door of the house.
Leng Qing was anxious to know if the waste prince was hiding in the house, so he didn't care about taking care of Zhao's shopkeeper, so he raised his foot and kicked towards the door of the house.
Leng Qing's kick was extremely forceful, if he really kicked on the door, it was estimated that even the door with the frame would have to fly out.
I only heard a "poof", and the door was actually fine. A black-clothed masked man, at the moment when Leng Qing stepped out, blocked the door and kicked Leng Qing alive.
Leng Qing knew best how hard he had kicked this kick, but he kicked on the masked man's lower abdomen, but it was like digging into cotton, and his strength was unloaded cleanly.
Leng Qing's heart sank, it seemed that he had met a master.
"Who are you?" Leng Qing asked in a deep voice.
The masked man ignored Leng Qing, but said to the shopkeeper Zhao on the side: "I'm here here, you can leave quickly!" ”
Although the masked man lowered his voice, the shopkeeper Zhao could still hear it, this was the voice of the old flower. Since Uncle Shi personally went out, of course the shopkeeper Zhao was relieved. He stopped talking, ran towards the courtyard wall, leaped up, and disappeared into the night in an instant.
Leng Qing and the masked man didn't make a move, and the two sides confronted each other quietly.
It's not that Leng Qing doesn't want to do it, but he knows that he is by no means the opponent of the masked man, even if he adds the other two catchers.
Leng Qing's uprightness does not mean that he has no brains, the purpose of his coming to Youzhou is to arrest the Qin criminal, not to lose his life for no reason. Even if you have lost your life, what can you talk about completing the task?
After about a cup of tea, a whistle suddenly came from the darkness.
When the masked man heard this, he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and he dodged and jumped onto the roof, and disappeared without a trace in the blink of an eye.
Leng Qing shook his head, he had no intention of chasing the masked man at all, not to mention that he couldn't catch up, even if he really caught up, it would be useless if he couldn't beat others!
Leng Qing and two of his men entered the house.
The furnishings in the house are simple, they are all daily utensils.
There is a dresser diagonally opposite the bed, and a large bronze mirror on the wall, from which it can be judged that this is supposed to be a woman's boudoir.
Could it be that the shopkeeper Zhao and the masked man tried their best to prevent them from entering just now was such a simple room?
No way.
No way.
Leng Qing looked at it carefully, and it was not so easy to escape Leng Qing's eyes in any abnormal situation.
Sure enough, Leng Qing saw that there was a problem: how could the bronze mirror be placed far away from the window? When the girl is grooming, the light is not good, how can she put the yellow flower just right?
Leng Qing looked at the bronze mirror, stretched out his hand to push it, and the bronze mirror was pushed open like a door, and a secret passage was presented in front of Leng Qing.
Leng Qing quickly entered the secret passage without hesitation.
……
At dawn, there were many people at the door of the Good Luck Casino.
There was a murder in the gambling house last night, and they all came to see the excitement.
At this moment, the entrance of the gambling house has been surrounded by the government office's fast catcher group, and the hall of the gambling house has also been requisitioned as a place for the government to temporarily handle cases.
At this time, a few people squeezed out of the crowd and walked towards the door of the gambling house.
The leader was Wu Yanxiu, who was followed by Liu Yang, as well as Lu Xiaoxian and Mu Qianren.
"Tiger" stood at the door of the gambling house, commanding the catchers of Youzhou Mansion. Of course he knew Wu Yanxiu, so he stepped forward and politely stretched out his hand to block Wu Yanxiu: "Huan Guogong, there has been a murder here, and it has been requisitioned by the government, so it is inconvenient for you to go in now!" ”
Wu Yanxiu looked at the "tiger" coldly, without speaking, without moving, and without the intention of leaving.
"Tiger" swallowed his saliva and said with difficulty: "Huan Guogong, please don't make it difficult for the villain." ”
Wu Yanxiu still didn't speak, just stared at him coldly.
Just as the two sides were confronting, Leng Qing walked out of the gambling house.
He waved his hand at the "tiger" and said, "Since Huan Guogong is here, then please come in!" ”
Wu Yanxiu was about to go in, but the "tiger" stopped Liu Yang behind him, as well as Lu Xiaoxian and Mu Qianren: "You can't go in!" ”
Wu Yanxiu turned his head and glared at the "tiger": "They are my people, they must go in with me!" ”
"Tiger" wanted to say something, but he heard Leng Qing say: "Let them in!" ”
"Thanks!" Wu Yanxiu opened his mouth and squeezed out two words, and his tone was surprisingly cold.
"Wait!" Two more people were squeezed out of the crowd.
Leng Qing looked at Wei Xianyun and Liu Zheng who came over, and couldn't help shaking her head and smiling bitterly.
Wei Xianyun said with a smile: "Mr. Leng can't be favoritism, please invite Huan Guogong in, don't you invite us in?" ”
Leng Qing took these people into the gambling house.
The dice and pai gow and other gambling equipment on the gambling table have long been cleaned up, and there are six corpses covered with white cloth on them.
Wu Yanxiu asked: "Mr. Leng catches the head, what is going on, can you tell me?" ”
Leng Qing didn't hide it, and told the story of going into the backyard of the gambling house last night to investigate.
Wei Xianyun asked, "Can you see the corpse?" ”
Leng Qing nodded.
