Wang Laohu also threw a bag of coins in a large place. Everyone looked at the strange Wang Laohu in front of them, this son made a generous move, and he was naturally not an ordinary person. The dealer also looked at him a few more times, and the son who had bet on the big one also looked at Wang Laohu and said, "The son really has vision, just like me." ”

In fact, Wang Laohu didn't know anything about this bet, and he made such a big bet in order to attract everyone's attention.

"Open." With the sound of the dealer, everyone followed the eyes, "One, one, two." The small "dealer" is proud.

"It's small again, it's too evil." The big boy said.

"I'm sorry, Childe." The dealer said to the king of the tiger.

Wang Laohu smiled, "I am willing to gamble and lose, and I am willing to gamble and lose." ”

Another rich and noble boy said: "This son, I think you are more raw, it is the first time to come to this gambling house, but you are really generous with this shot, you have lost so much in one game, if you bet with me, you will not lose so much." ”

"Brother, I'm from out of town, I first came to this gambling house, I wanted to win, but my luck is so bad, sometimes when I have bad luck, nothing goes well." Wang Laohu took out an earring and said, "A few days ago, my wife lost an earring, but after asking the entire county, there is no place to buy the same earring." ”

"Childe, your earrings are very valuable, we can't buy them in this small place." A young man said.

"But I've heard that someone in this county has worn the same earrings, and if I find out, I can ask her where I can buy these earrings."

The other son looked at it carefully, shook his head and said, "I haven't seen anyone in this county wearing these earrings either." ”

Others also said they had not seen the same earrings.

The dealer was impatient, and he said, "You still can't get down?" ”

Wang Laohu hurriedly said: "Down, down, how can you not go down?" I've just lost so much, and I'm worried that I won't be able to win back? ”

No one in the gambling house has ever seen this earring, has the woman in the Red Moon Tower seen it? That night, Wang Laohu came to the land of fireworks. In the evening, the fireworks land was very crowded, Wang Laohu sat down in a private room, and the two girls entertained Wang Laohu with a smile.

"The two girls' skin is so well maintained, compared to my tigress, but it is much more tender."

"The sons who came here all said that, what kind of yellow-faced woman in the family, but as soon as she turned around, she forgot about us."

"I'm not such a person, I'm telling the truth, but the yellow-faced woman at home also has to take care of it, no, the yellow-faced woman lost an earring, and bothered me every day to buy her a new one, and it should be exactly the same, I was looking for it, and it was not sold in this county."

"Childe, take out your earrings and let us see."

Wang Laohu reluctantly took out the earrings.

"Childe, your earrings, this jade is crystal clear, the price must be expensive."

"The price is not a problem, the main reason is that there is no place to buy it in the county, have the two girls seen the same type of earrings?"

The two girls looked at it and said, "How can we have the blessing to wear such good earrings?" ”

"The two girls think about it carefully, if they see this same type of earring, I am willing to give her these two bags of money." Wang Laohu made a price.

"Two bags?" The two girls didn't believe their ears, "and said that the son didn't like his yellow-faced mother-in-law, and he was willing to spend two money bags for this earring." ”

"I can't help it, I'm pestered by her every day, two girls, you can also ask your sisters, has anyone seen this earring, I won't give a penny less money."

"Childe is really generous, I'll ask the sisters now." Saying that, they went out and asked the sisters in this building, and after a while, some little sisters came in to take a closer look, but they all said that they had never seen this earring.

This Red Moon Tower also found nothing.

County hall.

"Lord Qiao, I have already asked some places in the county, such as gambling houses, Hongyue Tower, etc., and no one in these places has ever seen earrings. It's up to you today. ”

"I'm going to visit some local celebrities to see if there's anything to gain, you wait for my news."

Two days later, Pan Tai had news that Fang Ting's room had not found blue clothes. Master Qiao also visited some local celebrities, and they all said that they had never seen these earrings.

These earrings will never come out of thin air, could it be that they fell from the sky, impossible.

Wang Laohu thought of another possibility, which was a passer-by, a passer-by. It's just passing through Ningyang County, if it's a string crime, this case is not easy to investigate.

"Lord Qiao, we have investigated in this county, and there are very few people who know this earring, will there be such a possibility, this earring is left by foreign merchants when they pass by here."

"You're saying that this mobile person committed the crime, if that's the case, this case will be more tricky."

When mobile people come to the county seat, they will generally stay in guest houses, and there are only two inns in the county town of Ningyang County, and without further ado, send someone to ask if there are any suspicious characters among the accommodation personnel during the incident, or whether anyone has seen this similar earring.

When I came back, I got the news that there were a lot of people staying in the hotel during the time of the crime, but if you want to say that it is suspicious, the shopkeeper said that he didn't know, no wonder, so much time has passed, and I don't remember it clearly. The shopkeeper of this similar earring said that he had not seen it.

The inquiry of mobile personnel also seems to have reached an impasse.

Could it be that it is a migrant who came to Ningyang County to join relatives and live in people's homes, after such a long time, this is even more difficult to check. Wang Laohu felt that this case was not as simple as he thought at the beginning.

The county government did not find anyone who came to report the case and lost such earrings.

The blue cloth strips, earrings, and the informant surrounded Wang Laohu's mind like a mystery.

What is the connection between the blue strip of cloth for men, the earrings for women, and the informant for women? The murder weapon is a blunt object, where is this blunt object now? On the day of the crime, the arresters gathered at the county office, but the murder happened here at this time, was it a deliberate plot or an accident?

Just when the case was at an impasse, the shopkeeper of an inn came to tell the county government a situation, which made Wang Laohu's eyes light up.

"You said you'd seen these earrings?"

"Yes, I've seen these earrings. A few days ago, the inn was busy, and I didn't remember it very well, so I went back to tell my wife, she remembered that there was a merchant who stayed in the inn, and the lady wore such a pair of earrings. When she said that, I remembered. ”

"Do you remember where the merchant was and where they were going?" Wang Laohu asked.

"This is the registration directory of our store, so please take a look at it."

Everything was in the register, and Wang Laohu took the registration book, which read, "Buri, Wu Ji, Surabaya County, the time of investment is October 12." The check-out date is October 15th. That is to say, the two couples stayed in this inn for three days, and the time of the crime was October 13, which was the day after the two couples entered the store.

"The couple claimed to be Surabaya jewelry merchants, and I saw that her wife was wearing these earrings. She also said that the earrings are a specialty product of his store, which is high-end and small. ”

"Shopkeeper, think about it again, on the night of October 13, did the Buri couple go out?"

"These two couples went out every night, and on October 13, they came back and talked to me."

"What did they say?"

"It's nothing, just what they said about what they had dinner, and this street market is not as lively as their county town at night. Just a general chatter. ”

"When they left the store, were the earrings on Wu Ji's ears still there?"

"I can be sure that the earrings on Wu Ji's ears have always been there, and my wife specially praised the beauty of the earrings when they left, and I also wanted to go to Surabaya to buy a pair, but Wu Li said that these earrings are few, and it is not easy to take, and if you want it, you must book it in advance to have the goods."

It seems that this product is indeed rare and expensive.

With the news of this shopkeeper, now Wang Laohu is in front of Liu'an Huaming and another village, this earring is sold in the jewelry store in Surabaya County, and it is a rare thing, and it needs to be booked to be in stock, so there must be an order stub in this jewelry store.

Thinking of this, Wang Laohu was eager to rush to Surabaya, which would be half a day's journey if Surabaya and Ning County were to ride horses. Wang Laohu said goodbye to Lord Qiao and led the guards to Surabaya County.

When Wang Laohu arrived in the county seat of Surabaya in the evening, he ordered Qishun to arrange an inn, and then went to the street with Pan Tai to find the jewelry store of the Buri couple.
