Chapter 101: Driving the Tiger and Devouring the Wolf
In the narrow living room, the dining table and desk have been moved to the corner to make room for Jiang Huiyin to practice his body.
The little girl held the ball in her hand, moving around in a space of less than ten square meters, and with the movement of her feet, the colored ball was interspersed back and forth between her palms, wrists and arms.
This is Jiang Mubai's accelerated training method specially tailored for her, and when the final assessment is over tomorrow, Jiang Huiyin will have to undergo a month of high-intensity training in order to achieve ideal results in the Xiaowu Holy Grail.
Jiang Mubai sat at the desk in the corner, staring directly at the quartz clock, and waited until the hour hand pointed to the Chinese character "pick" on the dial, and immediately shouted to stop.
Jiang Huiyin lowered his arm, then lightly kicked the ball with his toes, and asked, "Brother, why do you teach me this set of exercises only sliding steps?" ”
"Because the ring of the audition is the same as the martial arts arena of your school, and there are no obstacles on the flat ground. Since there is no influence of environmental factors, then sliding is currently the most suitable way for you to use the actual combat movement, of course, not to say that you can only use sliding steps in the ring, other footwork will slowly teach you later, first use the ball to practice wrist wrapping and basic body skills. Jiang Mubai was still staring at the quartz bell as he spoke, and all kinds of speculations about the Izumo Sword Sect's self-destructive Dao Fruit were rummaging over and over in his mind.
"Oh!" Jiang Huiyin put the ball down, picked up the sword box and handed it to Jiang Mubai, "Brother, it's your turn." ”
Jiang Mubai took the sword box, took out the imitation of the Moyang Sword and held it in his hand, and practiced the Xiaoshan Dragon-shaped Sword very perfunctorily.
Jiang Huiyin saw that his brother was in an abnormal state, sat in the position where Jiang Mubai was sitting just now with his hands on his cheeks, and asked, "Brother, do you have something on your mind?" ”
Jiang Mubai put the sword into the sheath, nodded solemnly and replied: "Well, yes, but I can't tell you, this is my little secret." ”
"Oh~ I know!" Jiang Huiyin thought that she had guessed her brother's troubles, tilted her head and smiled, "It's okay, brother, there will be a parent-teacher conference after the exam tomorrow afternoon, and you will see Teacher Lin then." ”
This girl is really a big ghost, Jiang Mubai shook her head and smiled, just thinking about how to explain, when she heard the footsteps outside the door, she turned around and walked to the door and pushed open the door, so that Shen Hong, who was about to knock on the door, was stunned on the spot.
"Officer Shen, are you looking for me?" While Jiang Mubai asked, he looked back at the quartz clock on the wall.
This action was made for Shen Hong, except for Sanquan Lane and Longjin Street, there were almost no other entertainment venues in Dingwu City, and for ordinary people, it was already late at ten o'clock in the evening.
Shen Hong glanced twice into the room and said, "I have a strong smell of smoke on my body, I'm afraid of smoking the child, so I will talk in a different place?" ”
"No, Huiyin, go back to the room to rest, Officer Shen, come into the house and talk."
In the middle of the night, Jiang Mubai didn't dare to let Jiang Huiyin be home alone, after all, he had a lot of enemies now, and they were all mad.
"No one is following me." Shen Hong nodded, and after entering the house, he got straight to the point, "I know where the Blood Knife Gang is hiding." ”
"Huh?" Jiang Mubai's expression moved slightly.
Shen Hong threw out the bait and then changed his words: "I'm investigating a murder case and need your help." ”
Jiang Mubai pondered for a moment and asked, "Something to do with the Blood Knife Gang?" ”
The fewer the enemies, the better, the rotten top is willing to do a lot of evil, Shen Hong wants to dig a grave for him, Jiang Mubai is happy to add a shovel of soil.
Shen Hong didn't answer directly, he took out two photos and put them on the table, and said in a deep voice: "The older deceased in the photo is the former director of Tingchun Yuan, and the other deceased has just turned sixteen years old and was sent to Tingchun Yuan by his family last week. ”
Jiang Mubai glanced at the miserable corpse in the photo, shook his head and sighed, stretched out his hand to flip the photo, and asked, "The murderer is the Blood Knife Gang?" ”
Shen Hong took back the photo, pinched the iron cigarette case and gritted his teeth: "They can't get out of it, but I have no evidence." I can't investigate this murder case, because my boss Bao Jinbo is also a shareholder of Tingchun Yuan. ”
Jiang Mubai couldn't figure out Shen Hong's thoughts, and simply asked, "How do you want me to help you?" Helped you bring the lair of the Blood Knife Gang? ”
Shen Hong shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous, and it's meaningless." ”
"Oh?"
What Shen Hong said was not that there was no evidence, but that it was meaningless, which surprised Jiang Mubai.
"I was wrong before." Shen Hong tapped the table with a cigarette case, and the frequency and speed of speech continued to increase, "I just came from Mr. Xu, he is right, without the Blood Knife Gang, there will be a Poison Knife Gang, and the root of the problem is not a few criminals, but interests." As long as Chunyuan is still there and Sanquan Lane is still there, such a tragedy will definitely happen. ”
Jiang Mubai nodded lightly in agreement, unless the root cause of the problem is solved, the problem will always exist, and the Blood Knife Gang will be eliminated, and the symptoms will not be cured, as long as the source of the output of benefits is not cut off, there will always be people who take risks for the sake of interests, and even lose their conscience.
"So, what are you going to do?"
"Can I smoke?"
The two asked questions almost at the same time, Jiang Mubai could understand Shen Hong's need for nicotine at the moment, so he got up and opened the window.
Shen Hong strode to the window, couldn't wait to light a cigarette, and took a deep breath with all his strength, without the slightest intoxication and satisfaction in his eyes, not like he was addicted, but like he was venting his masochism.
After exhaling the smoke in his lungs, Shen Hong said slowly: "I'm going to raid Tingchunyuan, the service industry is a legal industry in Jizhou, but I can make a fuss about the contraband in Tingchunyuan." ”
This plan was too hasty, Jiang Mubai had to pour cold water: "Tingchun Yuan is not just Ye Nanfeng's treasury alone, if you want to seal Tingchun Yuan, the police station will not support it." Regardless of whether you find contraband or not, the result is that your boss has the final say, and you are doing this to give Bao Jinbo an excuse to suspend you. ”
"So I need your help, Jiu Niang was loved in Tingchun Yuan when she was alive, she died tragically in the wilderness, and someone must be complaining about her. It was only by raiding Tingchun Yuan that I had the opportunity to reach these potential witnesses. I have connections in the Yedu Police Academy and the Jizhou Police Department, as long as we can take advantage of the chaos to take them out of Tingchunyuan to protect them, even if I am suspended, we can bring down Tingchunyuan. ”
Shen Hong paused for a moment and continued: "Whether it's Bao Jinbo or Ye Nanfeng, they all have enemies, and I saw a lot of them at your apprenticeship banquet. As long as I cut a hole in them, someone will chase and bite them. ”
"You want to drive the tiger and devour the wolf? Have you ever wondered what if no one is willing to testify for you? Threats, intimidation, Ye Nanfeng has many ways to keep witnesses silent. ”
"To be honest, I didn't think about it." Shen Hong threw out his cigarette butt and turned his head to look at Jiang Mubai deeply, "What I think is that if it drags on for another day, maybe there will be one more victim, and the murder is in front of me, do I have to wait until everything is ready?" Big deal, pick up my police uniform! I didn't apply for the police academy for a stable job, I didn't become a police officer to get promoted and make a fortune, I wanted to protect the law and order of a place and protect the people. What about you, what are you practicing martial arts for? ”
Jiang Mubai was silent for a long time, and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me a cigarette." ”
