CHAPTER XXXVI
The fourth child analyzed what Fuxiang told him, he didn't keep up with people halfway, and he was knocked unconscious, that Luo Lao gambler was killed on the way back after losing the money, if it was deliberately framed, it means that the person who killed him must be someone who knows his itinerary, will it be a gambler who usually gambles together?
He decided to go to the casino to investigate, and in order to restore Fuxiang's innocence, he would not let go of anything suspicious.
When he arrived at the casino where Luo Lao gamblers often went, it was the same as usual, there was no change, there was a miasma, and there were many noisy people.
The fourth child usually doesn't go in and out of this kind of place very much, and he followed Fuxiang before, although he sometimes comes to the casino once or twice, but this crowded scene makes him a little headache when he is squeezed around.
"Little brother, come and place a bet?" A middle-aged man pulled him, raised his eyebrows, dressed in plain cloth clothes, with high sleeves, and holding a dice cup in his hand.
The fourth child shook his head implicitly and refused, he was not tall, only one meter and six, so he looked a little small in front of middle-aged men.
"Your little brother is really boring, you have come to the casino, if you don't gamble, do you want to drink flower wine?" The middle-aged man laughed, and the people around him let out a burst of laughter.
Lao Si's face was embarrassed and a little embarrassed, he was a twenty-eight-year-old man, and it was the first time he was ridiculed like this.
"I ......" the fourth thought of something again, "I'm here to find Luo Lao Gambler!" ”
The people around have also heard of Luo Lao's gambler, and they really wonder why Luo Lao's gambler hasn't come these days, but the middle-aged man's face changed, blue for a while and black for a while, "What are you looking for him?" ”
"He still owes me money!"
The fourth child noticed the change in him, and then asked, "What's wrong?" ”
"No, nothing! He's not here, little brother, that little money, I think you can treat it as charity, you definitely can't find it, and he won't come back in the future! The middle-aged man stared at him, his voice very low.
"Why?" The fourth child pretended not to know anything, and grabbed the middle-aged man's sleeve suspiciously and asked.
"What's why? He won't come, he won't come! The middle-aged man's eyebrows were twisted into Sichuan characters, and he had no patience to say this.
The fourth child didn't dwell on it anymore, but he could see that this man was very strange, and he clearly knew that the old gambler Luo was dead, but he refused to say it!
The fourth child turned around, but there was no big gain, so he had to leave the casino, but just a few steps away, a hand on his shoulder, he was stunned, thinking if he was exposed, and then someone was going to kill people?
I was a little panicked, and I just wanted to turn around and give someone a punch, but the fist was firmly caught by the person behind me.
Ming Yihan stared at him, "Very vigilant. ”
"Three less? I didn't know it was you. The fourth child was stunned and quickly withdrew his fist, but he was a little confused that Ming Yihan would appear here.
"Did you go to the casino and ask for any clues?" He was actually in the casino just now, and then saw him, he knew that he was the nephew of the fourth uncle, and he had seen him once in Liangyuan Shop before.
"No, but there is a man who knows that Luo Lao Gambler is dead, but he doesn't tell it, which makes me a little suspicious of him!"
"Then start with him, and you will definitely get favorable information from him."
"Sanshao, do you also suspect that he killed the person?" The fourth looked at him inquiringly, and he was very suspicious of the man.
"That's not it, I just think he's suspicious, even if he didn't kill someone, he must know something."
"Hmm." The fourth child agrees with Ming Sanshao's words.
After five o'clock in the afternoon, the day was approaching, and the middle-aged man spat at the door of the casino and cursed, "His grandmother's, today's luck is really bad!" ”
On the way back, the man looked at the street selling oil piers, stepped forward to make up, reached out to touch, was stared at by the boss and hit his hand with chopsticks, he retracted his hand, smiled cheekily, sucked the finger that had just touched the oil pier, and left satisfied, only to hear the boss scold in dialect behind the "mud heart".
When he crossed the alley back to his house, he blocked a person at the exit, Li Zihuan turned around his chest and smiled at him calmly, he frowned, he only felt that this person was really strange, he just wanted to go down the road, and the little man he met in the casino today also blocked the way he came.
"It's you! You, you guys? The middle-aged man pointed left and right, staring at the two suspiciously.
"Don't be nervous! We just have something to ask you! Li Zi smiled very kindly, but the middle-aged man didn't think so, "What do you want to ask?" I, I don't know anything! ”
"You don't know before we even ask! Looks like something must be known! ”
He only thought that these two people must have bad intentions to block him here, looking at Li Zi's height, it was a little difficult to break through, he could only retreat step by step to the fourth child who was shorter than himself, trying to find an opportunity to rush out, in fact, it proved that he did almost do it, when he pushed away the fourth child and wanted to run, a tall figure appeared in front of him, he looked up, and the man in front of him was at least one meter eighty-six.
"Don't run, we'll just ask you a few questions, and you just answer them truthfully!" Ming Yihan put his hands in his pockets and stared at him coldly.
The middle-aged man was frightened by Ming Yihan's momentum and took a few steps back, he stared at the man in front of him tremblingly, and his voice trembled: "I, I really don't know anything, I haven't seen anything, please let me go!" ”
Ming Yihan frowned, "What did you see that night?" You'd better confess truthfully, otherwise I'll call the police and say that you killed people's hearts and wanted to abscond in fear of crime, then the burden of Luo Lao Gambler's death fell on you, and you can't tell if you have a mouth! ”
He knew that he was not the one who killed Luo Lao's gambler, but looking at his panicked appearance, he must have seen the process of this incident, but fortunately he was not discovered, otherwise it is estimated that he would not come back alive.
"I ...... Who the hell are you? What do you want to know about this? The middle-aged man was still staring at Ming Yihan in fear.
"You don't care who we are, you just need to know that you can only tell us the truth about this matter, in order to ensure your safety, now the real murderer who killed Luo Lao gambler has not been caught, and you happened to see this incident happen that night, if the murderer knew that there was an eyewitness present at the time and was ignored by him, then your current situation is quite dangerous." Ming Yihan said it quite easily, it wasn't his life anyway, he didn't need to worry, but this man was very panicked in his heart.
"I ......" The middle-aged man was still hesitating, because he was also afraid that the man in front of him was the real murderer who killed Luo Lao's gambler that night, but ......
"You don't want to say, we don't force it, let's go!" Ming Yihan turned around decisively, Li Zi and Lao Si followed, the middle-aged man struggled for a while, and finally stopped them, he still chose to believe the man in front of him, "I said!" ”
The corners of Ming Yihan's lips raised, turned around, and said lightly: "It's not convenient to talk here, find a place to eat first!" ”
As soon as he heard where to eat, the middle-aged man's eyes straightened, all his money had been lost in the casino in the past few days, and he hadn't eaten for several meals, and now he can eat, which is better than anything!
I found a small restaurant on the second floor, a corner location, and there was no one on the second floor.
After serving the food, waiting for the middle-aged man to eat his fill, seeing that he had already eaten four bowls of white rice alone, Li Zi and Lao Si's jaws were about to fall, "You starved to death in your last life and reincarnated?" Beware of holding you to death! ”
After the middle-aged man finished the last bite of food, he put down the bowl with satisfaction, burped, and said, "It's better to be a full ghost than a hungry ghost!" ”
"Okay, you're full now? You can say, what did you see that night? Ming Yihan didn't bother to talk so much inconsequential nonsense to him, and cut straight to the point.
The middle-aged man wiped his mouth, frowned and thought carefully about that night, "During the day, I lost all my money, but I didn't dare to go home, so I just walked around the dock......"
After he was on the way back, he saw Fuxiang in the crowd of small gamblers, when he saw Luo Lao gambler was also present, and was winning in the head, he itched his hands for a while and did not hold back, but also went to join in the fun, he followed Luo Lao gambler bet, the result was a turnaround, Fuxiang has been winning, Luo Lao gambler is about to lose out, he saw that the situation is not right, he quickly followed the Zhuang bet, and finally fortunately only to return some money, after Luo Lao gambler lost the money, scolded and left, the gambling table also ended, He thought that now that he had money, he could go back to explain to his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but feel better.
But on the way back, he found that Fuxiang had been secretly following Luo Lao gambler, he felt strange, so he secretly hid behind and followed, but he suddenly blinked an eye, there was a person knocked Fuxiang from behind, at that time he was a little scared, wanted to run away quickly, but watching the man carry Fuxiang away, he was curious about what would happen, so he followed very carefully, and when he crossed a street, he lost, suddenly he heard a scream, originally thought that the person killed FuxiangAs a result, when he was quietly hiding, he saw that the man was carrying a corpse, and when he saw it clearly, the corpse turned out to be the figure of Luo Lao's gambler, because it was late at night at that time, and the light on the street was also very dim, and he couldn't see his face clearly when he hid in the dark, and he was very scared at that time, so he couldn't care about any curiosity anymore, so he hurriedly ran home before he was discovered.
"So, you didn't see the murderer's face clearly?" The fourth asked, he was a little deflated, then this is equivalent to looking for a needle in a haystack! only talked about the past, but there was no face of a murderer, how to arrest people?
"Then you can always see the figure of the murderer, right? Looks like he's a man or a woman? How tall is it? How fat? ”
"It must be a man! How could a woman carry someone and leave? And in the middle of the night, three watches... And so daring! He didn't dare to be a big man, "Look at his figure, he is not strong, but he is not tall, just a little taller than this young man, about 1.7 meters." ”
Ming Yihan didn't say anything, and when he heard this, he frowned, "So, the real murder scene is not far from the back alley of Liangyuanpu?" ”
"It's not far away! The murder happened in the back alley of Mengle Township! The middle-aged man said.
Because there are several forks in the alley next to Mengle Township, there are shortcuts to everywhere, sometimes for convenience, they will not take a long detour to the avenue, and it is faster to cross the path.
When Mengle Township was built, in addition to the prosperous area, the old man Ming also took a fancy to this advantage, all roads can lead to Mengle Township, so that people from other places will also know the existence of Mengle Township, so that the business can be expanded.
The fourth child and Li Zi looked at each other, and Li Zi glanced at his young master again, only to see that the corners of his lips were hooked, cold.
