Chapter 6 Casting a Long Line to Catch Big Fish

The bar opened at eight o'clock, and the ear-frying music and colorful lights made Hu Lai's eyes very uncomfortable, and she touched all the way to the bar and sat down, the blue light of the LED lights on the bar cabinet reflected on her face, making her face unusually pale.

"Drink something?"

Hu Lai raised his face and asked her bartender to wear a well-fitting white shirt and a small vest, tall and tall, but with a gentle voice.

"A glass of white water." Hu Lai raised a finger.

The man was obviously stunned for a moment, he took a glass of pure water in the cocktail glass, the lemon slices that were originally in the box were used up, and Hu watched him skillfully pull out a fruit knife from the knife holder on the operating table, cut a slice of lemon, and let it float on the water.

Zuo Bin handed the water end to Hu Lai, and inserted the knife back with his hand, "Please use it slowly." ā€

"Thank you." Hu Lai took a sip and withdrew his gaze from the knife holder.

The sound of smashing the cup came from the side, mixed with the sound of men scolding, Hu Lai turned his face and saw several drunks smashing tables and chairs, Xu Hui was also there, she seemed to be the target of those drunks.

A shadow passed by, Zuo Bin flew towards the place where the trouble was, Hu looked at his limp back, and simply propped one arm on the bar, holding the water to watch the play.

Suddenly, a strong warm hand grabbed Xu Hui's arm and pulled her behind her, giving her the strongest protection. Xu Hui stood behind Zuo Bin and looked coldly at these drunks who were making trouble.

The leader is a fat man, a little bit of the back of the flower can be seen from the bare back of the neck, the fat man casually picked up a wine bottle, the bottom of the bottle is facing Zuo Bin.

"Where's the bastard, get out!"

Xu Hui stood on tiptoe and whispered a few words to him, Zuo Bin didn't say a word as if he had received a holy decree, and suddenly flew out with a punch, knocking the fat man to the ground, and bringing him down in a slump.

"Son of a bitch, fuck him!" The fat man was helped up by the younger brother, his cheeks flushed, and he gave orders.

Seeing that a big battle was imminent, the security guards arrived in time and stopped a few people who were going crazy. Zuo Bin was held up by two security guards together, and the other party saw that there was no benefit to eating, so he slipped away after a few cruel words.

Zuo Bin turned around, looked at Xu Hui, bent down and grabbed her hand, and asked with concern, "Are you okay?" ā€

"It's fine." Xu Hui turned her face and looked at the bar, where under the reflection of the blue light, under an empty cocktail glass, pressed a note of unknown denomination.

Hu Lai leaned his back against the rough brick wall, raised his head and exhaled a breath of hot air that wafted in the incandescent light and finally dissipated in the light.

She remembered the shredded starlight on the brim of Hu Zheng's cap, who led her through the noisy bazaar, waved goodbye to her, and then disappeared into the crowd on the platform.

The fat man just now, Hu Lai once looked at his white background photos for hours and hours. Zhongyitang's thug, one of the murderers of her brother, nicknamed Huabei.

Hua Bei and a few younger brothers came out of the door of the bar scolding, and Hu Lai glanced sideways, taking in their movements and expressions.

Guo Bai squatted next to the green belt, holding a strong flashlight in his hand, and his rubber-gloved hand plucked and flicked among the fallen leaves, and the light shone miserably on the evergreen green leaves, penetrating the gaps, revealing a little uneven soil.

He carefully brushed away the fallen leaves, half of which were hind footprints, and stepped on the border between the edge of the flower bed and the dirt. Guo Bai looked up at the camera hanging above his head again, and after simulating the process of damaging the camera in his mind, he set his eyes on the small alley not far from here.

In the alley, a warm yellow lamp hangs diagonally on a wall that is only two meters long, surrounded by residents in the old city, because the development zone has sprung up like mushrooms in recent years, and the houses here are five or six times empty.

The sound of a bicycle with a clattering axle echoed in the alley, and the student stopped in front of the red iron gate with a large fan, and a white light of a strong flashlight pierced him, and he covered his face with his hand in panic.

Guo Bai trotted all the way to the student and turned off the flashlight. The student was dressed in a school uniform with the embroidered words of No. 1 High School on his chest, and he smiled and patted him on the shoulder, "Hey, boy, I want to ask you something." ā€

The student put down his hand covering his face, and sighed, "Ouch", "I said, uncle, who are you?" Can you have a snack, you look at my eyes, I am dizzy, and I am blinded by your eyes. ā€

"Poor, poor, uncle police asked you, this person, have you seen it in the past two days?" Guo Bai took out Xu Long's photo and held it up in front of him.

"Nope." The student shook his head vigorously.

Guo Bai took back the photo and stared at his face carefully, "Look at you, Yin Tang is black, his eyes are blank, and his eyes are ...... under his eyes."

"Yo, Uncle Policeman, you can also tell fortunes, come and show me palmistry." The student held out his hand and grinned.

"Go." Guo Bai slapped his hand back and continued to ask, "Do you live here?" Have you seen any suspicious people these two nights? ā€

"Ah, just upstairs, suspicious ......"

The student's mouth was half open, and he suddenly remembered that he was upstairs in the early hours of that morning, and he caught a glimpse of a dark shadow walking in the alley, and he clapped his hands violently, "Yes!" In the early hours of yesterday morning, at half past three, I got up to memorize English words...... Isn't it uncle, what kind of expression do you have? Okay, okay, I'll admit it, I'm going to get up and play games, and the police won't care about it. ā€

Guo Bai pulled the corners of his lips, "Okay, okay, you go on." ā€

"I remember very clearly, the man was wearing an Adidas black jacket, he was tall and big, and he was carrying a big bag in his arms, at least that big." Students gesture to the size of their bags.

"Do you see your face clearly?"

"Then where can I see clearly, what's wrong, Uncle Policeman, what's wrong?"

Guo Bai pointed in the direction of the crime scene, "Do you see that cordon?" There is a murder, what else did you kid see? ā€

"I—I don't know, I follow this path early in the morning to tutoring...... Internet knowledge, these two days early out and late home. The student pointed to the alley alley he had just come from.

"And what other traits do you remember?" Guo Bai asked.

"Does it matter if you walk lamely......" The student leaned back slightly.

Guo Bai patted him on the shoulder, "Count, the kid is good." ā€

"Hey~ Uncle policeman, don't go-" The student grabbed Guo Bai's arm and pulled him back.

"What's wrong? Remembering something else? ā€

"No, you think I'm also a meritorious service, don't you mean it?" The student's eyes lit up and his index finger rubbed against his thumb.

Guo Bai laughed and hugged him, "Okay, let's go to your house, and I'll tell your parents how the three good students helped the police solve strange cases when they were learning Internet knowledge." ā€

"Don't, don't, you go, I'll send it away." The student slipped out from under his arm like a loach and pushed his bicycle to the gate, and a woman's roar came from the yard, followed by the moving sound of slippers breaking through the window and the concrete floor.

Guo Bai took out his mobile phone and dialed Hu Lai's phone, and the busy tone became longer and longer, as if he was about to empty the end of the world.

From the first time she saw Hu Lai, to the creepy cold sweat this morning, Guo Bai felt more and more that Hu Lai was like a time bomb, and even she couldn't control herself.

The mobile phone rang, and he looked down to see that it was Zhang Lele calling.

"What's wrong?" Guo Bai was a little tired.

Zhang Lele's excited voice came from the other end of the phone, "Boss, Sister is really a god!" All the fugitives from Zhongyitang have been caught! ā€

Guo Bai almost rushed back to the police force, the injuries on the man's body sitting in the interrogation room were not light, Yin Yuanyang was interrogating, he looked at Hu Lai beside him, and asked:

"How did you do that?"

Zhang Lele came up from the side, "Before coming to my sister, I called and asked us to go to Xu Hui's bar in an hour to arrest people, but after we went, we found that the door was all in a mess, and none of them ran away." ā€

"Hulai?" Guo Baizhao.

Hu looked at him, pulled the corners of his lips, and smiled, "Boss, there are some things that you have been preparing for a long time and seem impossible, but they only need a small opportunity to complete." ā€

"So you've been investigating." Guo Bai suddenly realized, and finally understood why Hu Zheng was so calm in the half month since his death! She wants to cast a long line to catch big fish!

"There was a huge amount of money in Zhongyitang before, and it was all seized later, but this matter is only known to confidential personnel within the police, and I am one of them. It took me half a month to collect all the information on the fugitives through all the channels at my disposal. ā€

"You don't trust the police who will sound their sirens as soon as they go out, you have chosen a good time to anonymously provoke a fight between them, the bait is that huge sum of money, wait until their heads are bleeding, and then let the sirens sound and catch them all."

Guo Bai said the second half of the matter, and his eyes followed her closely.

"Xu Long's death is the best time, no matter what, the result is good." Hu Lai curled his lips.

Guo Bai retracted his thoughts and laughed loudly, "It's really worthy of Hu Lai." ā€

Hu Lai took out his mobile phone, slid out a photo, and handed it to Guo Bai, "Boss, look at this." ā€

The photo is very clear, there is a fruit knife holder on it, there are all kinds of knives, there are seven knives from large to small, the corners of Guo Bai's mouth can't help but rise, and he can't wait to give Hu a hug.

The knife on the knife rack is almost exactly the same as the murder weapon inserted in Xu Long's chest! The largest knife has a different pattern on the handle than other knives, and it is not a set at all.

"Okay, you found it from the bar? Guo Bai leaned closer to her a few more points. ā€

"There is a bartender in Xu Hui's bar, I inquired clearly, his name is Zuo Bin, and Xu Hui has not been clear. The night before yesterday, Xu Long went to the bar to ask Xu Hui for 500,000 yuan, and also made a move on Xu Hui. ā€

Hu Lai told Guo Bai all the results of the night, took out the jumping candy from his pocket, and sent it to him, "I bought it from the commissary at the intersection, you can taste it, it's delicious." ā€

Guo Bai took the jumping candy, tore open the wrapping paper, and put it all in his mouth, "Arrest people." ā€
