Back at his lodgings, Yun Qi could no longer fall asleep, he sat on a chair in the hall, thinking about the events of the past few days, trying to sort out the clues from them.

Now that I think about it, in the inn, the rich merchant who lived upstairs with them may have been with the bandits, and they deliberately made so many tricks, all in order to drag the dart board the next day and achieve their purpose of delaying time, resulting in the dart game not rushing to the foothold according to the original itinerary.

Around noon, far from the town, where there were few pedestrians, it was the best time to start, and the rich merchant and the concubine stranded the people in the inn with a trick of ring after ring, and did not have the slightest suspicion.

Those bandits, or the army, had already been ambushed on the road, and as soon as the dart car entered the encirclement, they jumped out, wanting to use the powerful force in their hands to rob and kill people, but they didn't expect that there would be two fish that slipped through the net, so they rushed up to chase and kill in a hurry, if it was just to rob money, it should be enough for them to grab the dart car, and there was no need to send someone to chase and kill themselves and Qiao Zhong.

There must be something hidden in this.

In addition, this Qiao Zhong is actually the son of the second-in-command in the dart game, it seems that the Sanjiang dart game will eventually belong to Qiao Zhong in the future, so Qiao Zhong went to Wanzi County to be the lowest fast foot, is it really just because Qiao Lao Dart let him exercise?

If the bandits are really the army, then why don't they worship them in the guise of the army? What's the secret?

Yun Qi thought about it for a long time, but he couldn't think of the result, so he walked out of the house and walked in the yard.

It was already dusk, the sun had set, and the sky was full of bright colors.

In the early spring season, if the sun is in the sky, the air is still relatively warm, as soon as the sun sets, the cold will come from all around, the temperature seems to drop down all of a sudden, Yun Qi can't help but shrink his shoulders, tighten his clothes, the clothes on this body are dirty and torn, and his change of clothes are all on the dart car, and they were robbed by those people together, it seems that the first thing tomorrow is to go to the street to buy a set of clothes.

As he was walking, suddenly a young man from the dart bureau found Yun Qi and said that Qiao Zhong and they were back, they were discussing matters, and they wanted to invite themselves over.

There are a few candles with fine arms lit in the council hall, illuminating the chamber brightly, and there are two chairs in front of the door, on the left is Qiao Lao's dart, on the right is Fan Zong's dart, and there are five or six big men sitting on the chairs on the east and west sides, and behind each of these big men stands a row of men, tall and short, majestic and mighty, like a stone sculpture.

Qiao Zhong stood behind the side of Qiao Lao's darthead, and Mr. Wang, who was like Mr. Account, stood behind the side of Mr. Fan's dart.

When the people in the house saw that Yun Qi had arrived, Qi Qi looked at him, Qiao Lao nodded at Yun Qi, pointed his hand, and said to Yun Qi: "Yun Qi, there is a chair over there, you sit down, listen together, there may be something to ask you later." ”

Yun Qi agreed, sat down, and found a chair to sit down.

Qiao Zhongyuan nodded lightly to Yun Qi and said hello.

Old Qiao said to Mr. Fan: "Fan Darthead, let's start." ”

Mr. Fan nodded, looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "Everyone knows, the dart of our dart bureau was robbed yesterday, this dart is very important to our dart game, it is no exaggeration to say that this dart is related to the life and death of our Sanjiang dart bureau, and now, the dart is lost, and most of the people are dead, who did it?" This is the most important problem we need to solve right now. Through a day of visits and investigations, we also found some clues, and now we bring everyone together, just hope that everyone can brainstorm and find out the real murderer, Qiao Zhong, you can talk about it first. ”

Qiao Zhong took a step forward and said: "Chief darthead, seniors, today Yang Darthead and I rushed to the accident site, trying to find out the identity of the murderer through the clues left at the scene, and find the dart car, but when we arrived, we found nothing, including the two bodies killed by Yunqi and me yesterday are also gone, yesterday left a very clear rut mark on the ground, and we followed these marks to chase past, but this morning, when we went again, those marks were gone, obviously, Someone wiped out the evidence before us. ”

That Yang Dart Tou got up from his chair and added: "Yes, Qiao Zhong and I searched for a long time and didn't find any useful clues, we even went to the bamboo forest that Yun Qi said to search, except for finding some destroyed traps and bloodstains, we also found nothing." ”

Yun Qi just heard that they had tracked down the bamboo forest, and his heart jumped, he didn't really want to hide anything, but he had been reluctant to reveal the secret of his martial arts, so although he killed four bandits alone, he didn't report to the chief dart, if they saw the corpses of the bandits in the bamboo forest, would they doubt their identity? But when I heard what I said and didn't find out, I felt strange that I had obviously killed four bandits, but they didn't find them, or had they been removed by the bandits a long time ago?

Xiao Darttou stood up, rushed up and arched his hand and said: "I went to the yamen to report the case, and the general judge heard that there was a big case in the jurisdiction, and he attached great importance to it, so he sent the arrester to the scene with us, and found the brothers who died in the dart bureau, and now they have all been pulled back, judging from the wounds on their bodies, many of them did die from the fire. Under the gun. ”

"What do the people in the yamen think about this?" Fan asked.

"They guessed that they could send out so many fires at once. Guns and men, except for the barracks, is the Japanese bandits, but the barracks are obviously impossible, and I have not heard a large number of news of the invasion of the Japanese invaders recently, in order to further confirm, they will go to the barracks to verify, and at the same time pay close attention to whether there is any news of the Japanese bandits, but these will take time. Xiao Dart said.

Qiao Lao darthead squinted slightly, listening to everyone's words, as if he was asleep, at this time, he raised his head and said to Yun Qi: "Yun Qi, you said that you have heard them admit that they are the army?" ”

Yun Qi was stunned, and hurriedly clenched his fists and replied, "Yes, I heard it with my own ears." ”

With a bang, everyone in the audience stared at Yun Qi in disbelief, and then exchanged heads and began to discuss, with a look of doubt on everyone's face.

Qiao Zhong asked in surprise: "Yunqi, when did you hear it, why don't I know?" ”

Yun Qi smiled bitterly: "Before you were stopped by those two, I arrived first." ”

"No way, how can the army rob our darts? I don't believe it, it doesn't make sense. Xiao Dart said excitedly.

Qiao Lao Dart Tou glanced at Xiao Dart Tou coldly, and then said to Qiao Wu: "Old Wu, tell me what you have found?" ”

"Yes, Chief." Qiao Wu got up and nodded to Qiao Lao's dart, and then said: "Since a year ago, Mr. Qiao's dart head has found that there is something abnormal in the dart board, although there is a lot of business in the dart board, but there seems to be some problems with the general accounts. ”

Suddenly, Mr. Fan's face changed slightly, and he blurted out, "What did you find out?" ”

Qiao Wu sneered and said: "I can't read the accounts, I guess even if I can understand it, there is no problem, but after being in this line for so long, the profit and cost of each time can still be roughly estimated, I consciously paid attention to the dart a few times, and made calculations in private, I found that the actual income is less than I expected by one and a half, I really don't know what's going on, can Fan Dart Tou teach me?" ”

Mr. Fan's face changed, his eyes flashed a few times, but he suddenly laughed: "Xiao Darthead, in the past few years, the business on the road has become more and more difficult to do, and it is becoming more and more difficult for our dart bureau to take over the business. ”

"Ahem, the head of the dart is right, the year is not good now, the Japanese are rampant, the business is difficult to do, the business is difficult to do." A man sitting next to Fan Dart on his left hand answered.

"Why do I think that the worse the world, the more profitable our dart game should be?" Qiao Wu said with his lips back. "The worse the world, the more people will ask us to guard the dart bureau."

"Old Five, do you suspect that Mr. Fan has selfish intentions and swallowed the dart game?" A man sitting on the right-hand side stood up and asked.

"Fourth brother, I didn't say that, I just think there seems to be something wrong here." Not to be outdone, Qiao Wu replied.

The fourth brother's full name is Nie Feng, and he ranks fourth in the dart game. When Qiao Lao Dart Tou first founded the Sanjiang Dart Bureau, there were five brothers, the eldest was Qiao Wencheng, the second Fan Youxin, the third Chen Qi, the fourth Nie Feng, and the fifth Qiao Renshan.

Among these five people, the eldest Qiao Wencheng is a typical chivalrous character, benevolence and righteousness first, deeply respected by everyone, the second Fan Youxin, wisdom and bravery, good at strategy, in the process of bodyguarding, encountered problems that could not be solved, most of them were brought forward by the second child, and the problem was successfully solved; The third child is taciturn, usually a stuffy gourd, silent, but the hardest heart, the most ruthless, many people secretly say that they would rather fight with Boss Qiao than against Chen Laosan; The fourth is more witty, the best among the brothers, and the fifth has a strong personality and never admits defeat, the fifth and the eldest are brothers of the same race, and they have followed the back of the eldest brother's ass since they were children.

Each of these five people has a stunt, in the rivers and lakes darts for many years, few opponents, have broken down a lot of fame, and then one year, Qiao Boss because of the expansion of the dart game, recruit talents, in the crowd of people who came to sign up found a young man is very good, first let him do the dart master, for a long time, this young man's ability has been unanimously recognized by everyone, and he also worshiped brothers, becoming the sixth person in the dart game, that is, the sixth Xu Mengyuan.

At this moment, these six brothers are sitting around the two chief dart heads, and then the next head, just the other dart masters of the dart game.

Qiao Wu stared at the fourth brother's face, his chest rose and fell, and said loudly: "Fourth brother, you are a smart person, I have always admired you, I don't believe it, you have been for so long, and you have not seen anything wrong." ”

Nie Feng smiled and said, "In fact, there is indeed no problem, we all know the account of Fan Darthead, there is no problem." If you don't believe it, ask the third brother and the sixth brother. ”

Hearing this, Old Qiao's face, which had been smiling, suddenly froze, his brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the people sitting on both sides with some surprise, thoughtfully.
