Chapter 138: The Cobbler

Souls with nowhere to put them beat back and forth in the lonely night sky, like fireflies in the fields, and like a lonely crescent moon overhead. When the day came, they rested for a moment and waited in a dark corner for the next night.

Jinqiu hadn't closed his eyes for a few days, the papers in hand were piled up on the desk, he looked unkempt like a beggar on the street, and Mingya didn't know how many times he had reminded him to rest, but Jinqiu ignored Mingya's words. There was a knock on the door outside the house, and Jinqiu lowered his head and said.

"Come in."

Su Nan put the coffee on the table and said.

"It's almost time to take a break."

"It's okay, I'll take another look."

"Here they are."

Jinqiu put down the hand that had just raised and was about to take the document and said.

"Fang Fan and Zhang Ze?"

"Well, they're waiting for you outside."

"Let them in."

Zhang Ze saw Jinqiu's appearance and said.

"Dude, you're working too hard."

Jinqiu stood up and stretched, and said.

"If you don't work hard, you can't do it. The National Security Bureau has been turned into a refuge for crime by that old guy Situ Yingnan, and even the strongest city walls will collapse if it continues like this. What are you looking for me? ”

"Shi Luoxin's case has been solved, and the murderers are Liu Qian and Cai Jin."

"Huh? Two middle-level cadres join forces to commit crimes, this kind of thing is really rare. Are they coming for you? ”

"This is also very likely, after all, Qiman's death is directly related to us."

Zhang Ze said.

"Since they're here, we'll go up to you."

"That being said, our current strength is not their opponent, so we have to slowly disintegrate the enemy. At present, although Schlohin's case has been solved, the police have not caught the murderer. ”

"Actually, you still don't know that there has always been a hidden killer among the middle-level cadres of the Sanyun Gang. Known as the cobbler, he would lay down the human skin after killing people and use it as his trophy. ”

Zhang Ze's eyes widened and he said.

"So perverted?"

"So I think the murderer should be a cobbler."

Fang Fan looked at Jinqiu from the side, and after a moment of silence, he said.

"There is no information about this person on the data at all, how can you know so clearly?"

Jinqiu sat back in his place and said.

"It's not been a day or two since I've been tracking down the Sanyun Gang, so naturally the information I have will be more comprehensive."

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"In that case, you can give me a copy of the cobbler's information."

Jinqiu spread his hands and said.

"Forget the information, it's too time-consuming."

As soon as the words fell, Fang Fan got up and threw the gourd on his body to Jinqiu and said.

"This is the soul of the mother and son, we don't plan to interfere in the overthrow of the Sanyun Gang anymore, and we won't have anything to do with the Security Bureau in the future."

Zhang Ze looked stupid on the side, and hurriedly said.

"Old Fang, what do you mean by that?"

"What else do you mean? Don't you see that he is hiding something from us? ”

Jinqiu said.

"I don't have anything to hide from you."

Fang Fan took out an A4 piece of paper from his pocket and gave it to Jinqiu and said.

"Then explain this."

Jinqiu opened the paper and saw that his life history was written on it, and then said.

"Where did you find this?"

"It's easy for me to look up someone. You are not only a member of the Sanyun Gang, but also the son of Duan Sanniang of Gaoyuntang now, didn't you say that you had nothing to do with the Sanyun Gang in the bar that day? Now how do you explain, are we here to help you take the top position in the Sanyun Gang? ”

"It's not what you think, you misunderstood."

Zhang Ze hurriedly came over to play a round and said.

"Old Fang, sit down and listen to him talk slowly."

Zhang Ze pulled Fang Fan back to his seat and said.

"Jinqiu, just tell the truth."

Jinqiu let out a long sigh and said.

"Yes. I am indeed Duan Sanniang's son, and this is also the identity I want to get rid of most over the years. Gao Yuntang was rumored to be a god outside, but in fact, it had long been a void. After Lei Zhen came to power, he colluded with his own henchmen and excluded all four people in Gao Yuntang except for my mother, and then he changed the originally poor but holy Sanyun Gang to what it is now. Mother ignored this, and no one in the Sanyun Gang dared to speak. The depravity of the Sanyun Gang made me begin to suspect that the stories my mother told me when I was a child were all fake, and when I asked my mother why she allowed Lei Zhen to be so presumptuous, my mother faintly replied to me with the word 'era'. The Sanyun Gang is over, it's no longer the Sanyun Gang I was proud of, and it's not even my childhood home anymore. ”

After Jinqiu finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, and Fang Fan's mood at this time also eased a lot, so he said.

"So you're going to push the Sanyun Gang to?"

"Hmm. The Sanyun Gang is now a round ball with a shiny exterior and a hole in the inside, and it can't withstand any beatings. ”

Fang Fan hooked his finger at Jinqiu and said.

"Give me back my gourd."

Jinqiu's tightly knit brows finally relaxed, he handed the gourd back to Fang Fan, and said.

"I will send you the position of the cobbler, and send a team to assist you."

"No, it's chaotic if there are too many people. Tell me about the cobbler. ”

"Good. In fact, the cobbler is not a person, but a secret killer department directly under the jurisdiction of Gao Yuntang. There are only two people in each cobbler, the incumbent cobbler and his apprentices. After the death of the current cobbler, his apprentice will succeed him as the cobbler, and so on. ”

"Do you know anything about the tanners you are now working in?"

"I've only seen him once in the Sanyun Gang. Not only is he skilful, but he is also an avid art lover. ”

"No, it's art to put spotlights around the corpse."

Jinqiu continued.

"This person is a loner, wears a pair of black sunglasses all the year round, and his biggest hobby is gambling, so he haunts the underground casinos in Zhonghai City all year round."

Zhang Ze answered.

"If you want to talk about underground casinos, the largest underground casino in Zhonghai City is known as the hotbed of the three areas."

Fang Fan squinted at Zhang Ze and asked.

"Are you familiar?"

"It's okay. I had a bit of a friendship with the security guards there. ”

"That's no."

Zhang Ze shrugged, and Fang Fan said to Jinqiu.

"I see, if you have any more information, please let us know."

Jinqiu looked at their backs as they left and muttered to himself.

"Fang Fan, what kind of person are you?"

Fang Fan suddenly sneezed, and Zhang Ze said.

"Yuehan misses you, right?"

Fang Fan smiled faintly and said.

"I don't believe that."

"I miss Wanli so much."

"It's okay for a big man to be a little promising."

Zhang Ze smirked a few times and said.

"Old Fang, when did you find out about Jinqiu's details?"

"Since the first time we went back, I asked Han Shuo to check it for me."

"I didn't expect him to be a member of the Sanyun Gang."

"It's nothing unusual, for the sake of this mother and daughter, we can only trust him for the time being."

"Good guy, I really thought you were going to quit."

"If he doesn't tell the truth, of course I'm not going to do it. I'm not so stupid to be a gunman for someone who doesn't tell the truth. ”

"Aren't we all being used as gunmen now?"

"It's different, at least I know now that I won't have a gun in my back. But it's only for the time being. ”

"Old Fang, why are you helping that mother and daughter?"

Fang Fan looked at Zhang Ze and smiled, and said.

"Don't you want to help them?"

Zhang Ze thought for a while and said.

"I don't really care, you say help, then help."

The submarine gradually surfaced, and when Fang Fan and Zhang Ze returned to the yacht, it was already almost evening, and several seabirds passed low above the sea. About half an hour later, they returned to the Spring Taste Bar, where Lee and his daughter were preparing for the bar's opening. Mishima was bored at the bar, Fang Fan walked up to him and said.

"Did their father and daughter lower your presence after they came?"

Mishima quickly made a silent gesture on his lips, and then whispered.

"Be quiet, you can't let Xiaoyou hear this, or she should send me a job again. To be honest, I'm tired of working here, and I want to go out with you. ”

Fang Fan laughed and said.

"As long as your Xiaoyou agrees, I will listen to you."

"I didn't say it."

Yu Toyoya was standing next to the bar at some point, and she knocked on the bar and asked.

"What are you talking about?"

Mishima pretended to be calm.

"Nothing, nothing."

After saying that, he went to help Li Guangyou, Feng Gu Yu touched Fang Fan lightly and asked.

"What did he just tell you?"

"It's really nothing, we're just making small talk."

Yu Toyoya said as he looked at Mishima's busy back in the bar lobby.

"He went from a lion to a cat."

Fang Fan took a sip of wine and said.

"It's not like he did it willingly."

"When I wake up at night, I always see him smoking outside. I know everything he does is for me, and he's not happy himself. ”

"Did you ask him?"

"No, the conversation between us seems to be gone except for the bar, I don't know when it became like this, and I was really scared when I realized it."

"Then why don't you let him do what he likes?"

"I'm more scared that way. I don't want to claim his cold corpse. ”

"And how much warmer is the temperature between you now?"

Yu Toyoya stopped talking, and then Mishima walked over quickly and said.

"You two don't stand still, the guests are here, hurry up and get busy."

Fang Fan turned around and went into the bar to put on an apron, and Yu Fenggu took the wine list to greet the guests. The familiar sound of the piano sounded again in the Spring Bar, and the song echoed between the wine tables, touching the wine glasses and then drifting to the next table.

At dawn the next day, Fang Fan and Zhang Ze came to the hotbed. This is the three-regardless zone of Zhonghai City, and people call it a hotbed. The largest casino in the hotbed, the owner of which is said to be Taiwanese, was handed over to Gul, nicknamed Yizhangqing. Gul is recognized as the gambling king here, and his gambling skills are outstanding, even if he is doing things under the nose of the other party, the other party can't see any flaws, many people are bankrupt because of gambling money with him, and the family is ruined, so he has blood in addition to money.

As soon as the casino entered the door, there was a long and large gaming table, and there was a dealer who dealt cards standing next to the green table, and Zhang Ze stared at the dealer for a long time. Fang Fan said.

"Don't look at it, she doesn't have any clues on her."

"Won't she get cold if she wears so little?"

"Let's go, Love Saint."

There are not many people in the casino now, and the security guards are gathering in a bunch to chat, and one of them immediately ran away when he saw Zhang Ze, and Zhang Ze shouted.

"Don't run."

The rest of the security guards stood in front of Zhang Ze and didn't let him pass. In a hurry, Zhang Ze stepped on the wall next to him and flew over the human wall, and Fang Fan followed. When the man was about to rest for a while, he looked back and saw Zhang Ze raising his foot to kick him, and half a second later, the person was kicked out by Zhang Ze.

"Don't fight, don't fight."

"You run again."

"Haven't I gotten used to it?"

Zhang Ze quickly raised his hand and gestured, and the man quickly shrank his head.

"It won't be that simple next time."

At this time, Fang Fan also ran over, looked at the man on the ground and said.

"Who is he?"

Zhang Ze sorted out his clothes and said.

"I borrowed money from me before, but I ran away, and I learned a lesson last time."

The man stood up and said aggrievedly.

"I've already paid you back the money."

Zhang Ze raised his arm again and was about to fight, but Fang Fan hurriedly stopped and said to the man.

"Brother, we're not here to trouble you, we're here to find someone."

The man sensitively stepped back a few steps and asked.

"Who?"

Fang Fan took out a portrait from his pocket, which was drawn according to the appearance described by Jin Qiu. The man said, looking at the portrait.

"I seem to have an impression that I saw him here the other day. But he seems to have lost a lot of money and hasn't been here for a while. ”

"Did he borrow money from the casino?"

"I think I borrowed it."

"Who's in charge of the red?"

"Of course it's Brother Gu."

"Take us to him."

After that, Fang Fan took out a few banknotes and stuffed them to the man, and the man immediately said with a smile.

"No problem, I'll take you there."

A few people came to a box on the second floor, and the man said.

"Brother Gu is inside, you guys go in."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze pushed the door in, there was a large table in the room, and the dealer was standing at the table, and Gul was sitting opposite her, intently touching the cards. With the cards back on the table, Gul touched the cards with his fingers and smiled smugly as he flipped the cards over. Zhang Ze whispered.

"That's."

"Shh

Gul said as he turned over the last card on the table.

"Since you're here, sit down."

Zhang Ze looked at the dealer who dealt the cards and noticed that it was not her who spoke, so where did this female voice come from. Then there was the female voice.

"Don't you understand?"

At this time, the two of them noticed that it was Gul who spoke, and Fang Fan said.

"Presumably you are the gambling king Gul, there is something..."

"Wait, sit down and gamble with me, and if you win, I'll continue to listen to you. Otherwise, don't talk about it. ”

"Everyone in the world knows that your gambling skills are first-class, and my bet with you is like hitting a stone with an egg."

"It's always okay to try, right?"

Fang Fan found a place to sit down, and Zhang Ze stood aside, he understood why Gur's nickname was Yizhang Qing this time, and this girl's chirping energy was really good. The dealer dealt Fang Fan and Gul a card each. Gul said.

"It's simple, it's bigger than the size."

Fang Fan quickly turned over the card, and it was an ace of spades. Gul smiled, then rubbed his hands together and flipped the cards over. As a result, everyone was stunned, and what he turned over was actually an ace of spades. Zhang Ze pointed to Gul's card and said.

"You're out of the woods."

Gul pinched his orchid fingers and combed the hair behind his ears and said.

"I don't know who is out of the thousands."

"You are still quibbling, it was Fang Fan who opened it first just now, and then it was you, it must be you who are out of the thousand."

Gul sneered and said.

"Then turn the cards over and see."

Saying that, Gul turned the cards over, the color behind the cards was exactly the same as the one in the pile, and when Fang Fan turned it over, the color behind the cards actually changed to other colors. Fang Fan and Zhang Ze were taken aback and said.

"The gambling king really lives up to his reputation, it's amazing, let's go."

Zhang Ze said.

"Don't ask?"

"If you have a word, you are willing to gamble and lose."

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked towards the door, and suddenly Gul let out a sharp laugh and said.

"Stop."

The two stopped, and Gul continued.

"A good one is willing to gamble and lose. I like both of you, so tell me what you're here for. ”

The corners of Fang Fan's mouth raised slightly, turned around and took out the portrait, and said.

"We're looking for this guy."

Gul looked at the portrait and said.

"What are you looking for him?"

"I'd like to ask him to help us with a little trouble."

"Use a slaughtering knife to kill chickens, and I can also settle your troubles for the two of you."

Zhang Ze's temper came up and said.

"If you know, you know, if you don't know, you don't know, what so much nonsense."

Suddenly, a cold light flashed in Gul's eyes and he said.

"No one has dared to talk to me like that yet."

As soon as the words fell, Gul casually threw out a card, and Zhang Ze flashed sideways, but his clothes were still cut out of a long hole. Zhang Ze was about to step forward to fight, but Fang Fan stopped him and said.

"Stop, it's you who lost your words first, no wonder others."

Gul walked up to Fang Fan's side and put his arm on Fang Fan's shoulder, and a strong smell of perfume penetrated Fang Fan's nose. Gul said.

"This brother is still sensible, since you are looking for him, then I will tell you. He would come here every single day to gamble money, and when he lost, he would come to me to borrow money, and every time he borrowed a certain amount, he would not borrow. Then he would disappear for a while and come back to gamble on a single day. ”

"It's quite principled."

Zhang Ze looked at his phone and said.

"Lao Fang's today is a single day."

Gul looked at the clock on the wall and said.

"Well, he's probably coming soon."

"Then don't bother, let's go outside and wait for him."

"Okay."

After that, Gur glanced at Fang Fan coquettishly, and Fang Fan's whole body suddenly became excited. The number of people in the casino has gradually increased, and the gambling money is never divided into morning and evening, and the lights of the casino are always on, and there will be no ray of sunshine, in order to make the gambling people forget the time. It offers every free service you can think of, in order to keep gamblers here.

Fang Fan and Zhang Ze walked back and forth around the various gaming tables, when the security guards suddenly lined up in two rows at the door, and when the door opened, a man wearing sunglasses and a coarse cloth robe walked in.
