Chapter 33: The Secret Path
Gu Yuntian and the three of them finally entered the house, and the room was very simple, all of which were daily living utensils. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
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.
Gu Yuntian looked at it carefully, any abnormal situation, it was not so easy to escape Gu Yuntian's eyes.
Sure enough, Gu Yuntian 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?
Gu Yuntian looked at the bronze mirror, stretched out his hand to push it, the bronze mirror was pushed open like a door, and a secret passage appeared in front of Gu Yuntian.
Gu Yuntian took two catchers and quickly entered the tunnel without hesitation.
ā¦ā¦
At dawn, there were many people at the door of the Good Luck Gambling House, and they all came to see the excitement when they heard that there was a murder in the gambling house last night.
The entrance of the gambling house has been surrounded by the government office's fast catchers, and the gambling house stick has also been requisitioned as a temporary place to 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 Zhang Baoer and Mu Qian.
Standing at the door of the gambling house and directing Chenzhou Mansion to catch fast, it was Zero Two and Two No., of course he knew Wu Yanxiu, and 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, it is inconvenient for you to enter now!" ā
Wu Yanxiu looked at Zero Two and Two coldly, did not speak, did not move, and did not have the slightest intention of leaving.
Zero Two frowned and said, "Huan Guogong, please don't make it difficult for the villain." ā
Wu Yanxiu still didn't say or move.
At this time, Gu Yuntian walked out of the gambling house, "Since Huan Guogong is here, please come in!" ā
"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.
Gu Yuntian looked at Wei Xianyun and Liu Zheng who came over, and couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly.
Wei Xianyun said with a smile: "Mr. Gu can't be favoritism, please Huan Guogong to go in, don't you invite us in?" ā
The dice and pai gow and other gambling equipment on the table of the Good Luck Casino have long been cleaned up, and there are two corpses covered with white cloth on them.
Wu Yanxiu asked: "Mr. Gu catches the head, what is going on, can you tell me?" ā
Gu Yuntian didn't hide it, and told the story of entering the backyard of the gambling house last night to investigate, and then added: "The body of my subordinate was found in another room in the backyard, and the body of the shopkeeper Zhao was found on the street thirty steps away from the gambling house!" ā
Wei Xianyun asked, "Can you see the corpse?" ā
Gu Yuntian nodded, raised his hand and took off the white cloth covering the corpse.
Zhang Bao'er looked at the two corpses, Gu Yuntian's subordinate was not unusual, but Zhao's shopkeeper was full of black and purple, and his face was extremely hideous.
Gu Yuntian introduced: "My subordinates have lost contact for a day and a night, and I guess they were killed by this shopkeeper Zhao, because he took out a dice from his body, and it was this dice that shot him." Last night, I suffered from Zhao's shopkeeper shooting dice. As for Zhao's shopkeeper, he has also been tested, and he died of poisoning! ā
Only then did Zhang Baoer understand why Zhao's shopkeeper's face was that color.
"Poisoned to death?" Wei Xianyun seemed a little puzzled.
"That's right, he died of poisoning!" Gu Yuntian nodded: "I took out two steel needles that were shot into from the front door of Zhao's shopkeeper, and the steel needles were coated with poison, which is an extremely domineering poison, it is estimated that Zhao's shopkeeper has less than half a column of incense from being shot to death." ā
Wei Xianyun said strangely: "Mr. Gu, didn't you say that after the masked man appeared last night, Shopkeeper Zhao left. So, after he left the gambling house, he was killed not far away, who killed him? ā
"That's what I want to know!" Ancient Cloud Heavenly Dao.
Wei Xianyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Mr. Gu, have you heard of the 'Lightning' organization?" ā
Gu Yuntian was stunned in his heart, the nest of "Lightning" was in Chenzhou, and he also knew that Wei Xianyun actually got the news, which shows that the efficiency of Qiufeng Tang to inquire about the news is no less than that of the Criminal Department.
Gu Yuntian nodded and said, "I've heard of it!" It's a mysterious killer organization! ā
Wei Xianyun analyzed: "As far as I know, the main figures of the 'Lightning' organization are all entrenched in Chenzhou, if I guess correctly, this Zhao shopkeeper should be the killer of the 'Lightning' organization!" ā
Zhang Bao'er's eyes widened, it was the first time he had heard that there was actually a killer organization called "Lightning" in Chenzhou City, and the shopkeeper Zhao, who was smiling all day long, turned out to be the killer of "Lightning".
Gu Yuntian's heart moved: "Mr. Wei, do you mean to say that it was the 'Lightning' people who hid the deposed prince?" ā
"I'm just guessing!" Wei Xianyun pondered: "Mr. Gu, think about it, the shopkeeper of a gambling house would be a master of hidden weapons, if he is not a killer, why would he hide his identity." Also, they killed your men and refused to let you enter that room at all costs after you revealed your identity, which is a capital offense. I really can't think of any reason other than the one I just said to have them do such crazy things! ā
Gu Yuntian nodded slightly, Wei Xianyun's analysis was indeed very reasonable.
Zhang Bao'er said suddenly: "Can you let us go and see that secret passage, maybe we will find something!" ā
Wei Xianyun echoed on the side: "What this little brother said is, can Mr. Gu take us to have a look?" ā
Gu Yuntian took a few of them to the room he had entered last night, pushed the bronze mirror away, and entered the dark passage.
The place where they came out from the other end of the dark passage turned out to be a rockery.
Gu Yuntian said: "This is the back garden of a Qinglou called Zangfeng Pavilion, which is about thirty or forty steps away from the backyard of the gambling house. I called the shopkeeper of the Qinglou to ask, and he said that he never knew that there would be a secret passage here. Last night, Shopkeeper Zhao and the masked man blocked us to the death, presumably to buy time, so that people could escape from the dark passage with the waste prince. It wasn't until they left safely and gave the signal that the masked man calmly left! ā
Wei Xianyun said: "Mr. Gu catches the head, you said that the masked man's martial arts are extremely high, forgive me for taking the liberty of asking, how is that person's martial arts compared to Mr. Gu's head catcher?" ā
"Much taller than me!" Gu Yuntian admitted frankly, not feeling ashamed at all.
"That's right!" Wei Xianyun pondered for a while before saying: "Mr. Gu's head catcher, it seems that this 'lightning' is not easy to deal with, if Mr. Gu believes it, those subordinates I brought can work for Mr. Gu Yuntian's head catcher!" ā
Wu Yanxiu said on the side: "If there is a place that can be used by Wu, Mr. Gu can just speak, and Wu can also do his best!" ā
Gu Yuntian hugged his fists to the two and said, "Gu has thanked the two of you here." ā
