Chapter 12 The official who was taken to the ditch

In just about five seconds, six gamblers, nine thugs, and one dealer in the gambling hall were all killed.

They didn't even have time to react, and even the exclamations were stuck in their throats, and they were all shot in the head.

At a distance of five meters, if you can't get a gun headshot, then the tens of thousands of bullets that Yang Yifei fed when he was a soldier are estimated to have been fed to dogs.

The hall was completely silent, Yang Yifei calmly withdrew his pistol, walked to the gambling table, his eyes flashed slightly, and then stretched out his hand towards the silver money on the table.

He didn't just sweep it away and put it all into his personal package, but picked up a few silver ingots in this pile and a few pieces of broken silver in that pile, but didn't look at the large silver tickets that started at least one hundred taels.

In the end, Yang Yifei only drew about fifty or sixty taels of silver on this gambling table, and then put the rest back together, and it didn't seem to have moved.

Dozens of taels of silver are enough for the time being, and the purchasing power of silver in the Qing Dynasty is best calculated, after all, it is the closest to the later generations.

During the Kangxi period, one tael of silver was equal to the usual copper coin, that is, one thousand wen, and the purchasing power of one thousand wen copper coin was about 660 yuan in later generations.

In other words, the amount of silver that Yang Yifei pulled was almost about 40,000 yuan, even if he ate a restaurant, as long as it was not a big fish and meat, it would be no problem to support it for a year.

Besides, he couldn't eat a restaurant all at once.

After putting all the silver he picked up into his personal package, Yang Yifei carefully avoided the blood on the ground and searched around, to his surprise, he did not find any warheads.

From this point of view, this gun can't be measured by common sense at all, not only does it have no cartridge casing, but it doesn't even have a bullet, so what is the bullet that comes out of the gun?

Could it be that this gun is not a thermal weapon at all, but something like a magic weapon? The bullet that was fired was not an entity at all, but an unknown energy that mimicked the effect of the bullet?

Quite possibly, otherwise there is no way to explain why there are no cartridge cases and warheads.

However, it is better to have no shells and warheads, so that the investigators will not be able to figure out how these people were killed.

Just as he was about to leave, Yang Yifei's eyes suddenly flashed, he took a brush from the counter on the side, and wrote a few words on the table with blood.

Although his calligraphy is not good and a little crooked, he can still recognize it.

After doing this, Yang Yifei sneered, turned around and walked to the backyard, climbed out of the wall where he came, and still returned to the alley, waiting for the morning bell to ring.

As soon as the morning bell rings, the city gate opens, and when the people begin to enter and exit, he will leave the city from the east gate, turn around and then enter the city through the west gate, and then move in the west of the city, and do not come to the east of the city where the Wansheng gambling house is located.

And the words he wrote on the gambling table were: Kill all the gamblers in the world.

This is to confuse the direction of the investigation of the people who are investigating the case in the government, and as soon as this line is left, coupled with the money that seems to have not been touched on the gambling table, the motive of murder and robbery is immediately ruled out.

There are three major elements in the investigation: the motive for the killing, the method of killing, and the first scene.

Among them, the motive for killing is the most important, if even the motive for killing is wrong, then is it possible to solve this case?

There is not only one casino in Yangzhou City, perhaps the officials who handle the case will pay attention to those casinos, so that the impact on Yang Yifei is the least.

……

Early the next morning, the gamblers and other people in the gambling hall got up and walked into the hall to prepare for a new day.

However, when he saw the hall that looked like a killing field, the Wansheng gambling house suddenly exploded, and the person in charge of the gambling house turned pale, glad that he rested early last night, but also frightened by the murderer's methods.

There was such a big incident, the gambling house didn't think to cover it up at all, and the six gamblers who died were all people with some family businesses in Yangzhou City, and they couldn't cover it at all, so they decisively reported to the official.

Such a big case is not something that ordinary people can handle, and the chief catcher of Yangzhou personally brought a group of head catchers to the scene.

After a post-mortem examination, it was determined that the weapon used by the murderer was a sharp thin iron drill, and the murderer's martial arts were strong, otherwise it would never have been possible to pierce people's heads at once.

After listening to the words, the head of Yangzhou frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Not only is the martial arts strong, but the shot is also as fast as lightning, and you don't need a second move to kill people, all of them are killed with one hit." ”

"Judging from the position where these people fell to the ground, the two people at the back door, after the murderer entered the door, almost completely did not react, and they were pierced in the head, and the murderer should have used a two-handed weapon......"

As the chief catcher restored the scene step by step with experience, the image of a martial arts master who used an iron drill with both hands, shot like electricity, and was like the wind appeared in everyone's minds.

It's a pity that his seemingly tight speculation is completely wrong, and this case will be destined to be a headless public case.

After the operation of the head catcher was as fierce as a tiger, so that all the head catchers were convinced, he walked to the gambling table, pointed to the word "end", and asked left and right: "Which of you has seen this word?" ”

The crowd gathered around one after another, and after reading it, they all shook their heads, and one of the catchers said: "Look at this word, the murderer has obviously read some books, but his knowledge is not high." ”

"You see, he only wrote half of the word 'kill', and the other half probably forgot how to write it, and the word gambling was also written incorrectly, but in combination with the context before and after, this should be a 'end' word, killing all the gamblers in the world, but the murderer wrote it completely wrong."

The fonts of this era are all traditional characters, but what Yang Yifei left behind is simplified characters, and the way to write that sentence in this era should be "kill all the world's gamblers".

No matter how careful his mind is, some deep-rooted things are easy to ignore, Yang Yifei wrote simplified characters in the Qing Dynasty, leaving a small detail flaw.

Of course, this flaw did not affect his plan, and the case-handling personnel were completely led down another crooked path.

After inspecting the scene, the chief catcher ordered: "Since this murderer has said that he will kill all the gamblers in the world, then he will definitely not stop there, send more people, keep an eye on the major gambling houses, and report it immediately if he sees a suspicious person." ”

"Yes, sir."

……

When the Yangzhou government was competing with the gambling house, Yang Yifei swaggered into a tailor shop in the west of the city and made several clothes, shoes and socks.

They are all suitable for sports shorts, the color is the most common gray-white, and the shoes are also the most common black mille-feuille cloth shoes, after all, although the boots are comfortable to wear, but wearing shorts with boots is not like that.

Yang Yifei does everything but is convenient and practical, and does not care about aesthetics, if he wears a long shirt like Huang Feihong, he must tie the hem of his clothes to his belt before he fights, and he has to carry the hem of his clothes when he runs, Yang Yifei feels very stupid, except for pretending to be handsome, there is no benefit.

As for cheongsams and horse coats, Yang Yifei didn't think about it at all, the clothing of the Manchu Tartars was not necessarily beautiful, and it was more unsuitable for sports than the long shirt.

The cheongsam really developed to its peak in the Republic of China, and it only looks good when worn on women, and the cheongsam of the Manchu Qing Dynasty is completely different from the cheongsam of the Republic of China.

Six days later, Yang Yifei retrieved his clothes and spent a total of one or two or three dollars of silver.

In the days that followed, he didn't do anything else, he bought a carriage for six taels of silver, stored it in the inn, and then stared at the Yangzhou prison every day, which was the key point for him to officially cut into the plot.
