Qian Yuanbai stood at the door: "There are two beds in the room, but there is a charred female corpse left, and the female corpse is not the same as the person who was burned alive, so before this woman was burned, she either died or fainted completely, maybe she was drugged." ”

Qiu Gubo stood on the edge of the burnt room, looking first at the tattered roof, then at the bullet holes, the badly damaged floor.

Qiu Gubo thought for a while: "Although the record of the inn is gone, the target should not be more than two people. ”

"Why?" Qian Yuanbai asked puzzled.

Qiu Gubo turned around and said, "If a person lives in a double room with a woman, it seems strange. ”

Qian Yuanbai smiled: "Father and daughter, brother and sister, can they all live in one room?" ”

"Unless my daughter and sister are young, there's nothing wrong with living together." Qiu Gubo shook his head and said, "But what about the age of the female corpse?" ”

Qian Yuanbai understood: "The age of the female corpse is about twenty, and it is too inconvenient for a girl of such an age to live in the same room with her brother or father, could it be a husband and wife?" ”

Qiu Gubo smiled: "Will husband and wife sleep in separate beds? So, either it's one person, or it's two people, the biggest possibility is two people, and that woman should be a prostitute, and it's not in a brothel, you think, if something so big happens, no one comes to look for it, which means that this woman is not from a brothel, and she doesn't have any relatives. ”

Qianyuanbai said: "One person called a prostitute, and the other person didn't, what does this mean?" ”

Qiu Gubo looked at the burned bed frame: "It shows that the personalities of the two people are different, one is too cautious and not close to women, and the other is bold and rude and lustful, and spends money generously, but they are both good, and, judging from what I saw just now, they should have killed a horse gun." ”

"Oh?" Qian Yuanbai was very puzzled, "You can see this?" ”

Qiu Gubo pointed to the tattered roof: "The roof is blown up, and if you blow up the roof, you can run away, why do they rush out to kill people?" There are so many bullet casings downstairs, it is enough to show that many killers are downstairs and are firing upstairs, and if people don't go out of the room, there is no need for them to stand downstairs and shoot inside the house. ”

After Qiu Gubo finished speaking, he stood under the hole in the roof and looked at it: "So, they blew up the roof first, maybe they ran away, maybe they hid in the house, waiting for the moment when the people outside were about to rush in, they suddenly attacked, killed the other party by surprise, and then left calmly, after they left, the people of the black cloud immediately came to clean up the scene and took the killer's body away." ”

Qian Yuanbai was pondering something, Qiu Gubo turned around and saw it, and asked, "What are you thinking?" ”

"When I came during the day, I remember an uncle who said that he heard gunshots far away last night." Qian Yuanbai raised his eyes and looked at Qiu Gubo.

Qiu Gubo thought for a moment: "Is it the beach?" No, the timing doesn't fit. ”

"It's not." Qian Yuanbai pointed to the other side, "It's not the east, it's the west." ”

Qiu Gubo suddenly understood something: "So, there are still gunmen on the periphery?" Under the premise of this dark night, can the gunman still kill? Wait, when the beach case happened, it was in the evening, and when the inn tragedy happened, it was at night, so let's say, didn't the same people do it? That's right, even if it's a member of the military, very few people can kill a target in complete darkness, a hundred meters away. ”

After hearing this, Qian Yuanbai looked disdainful: "Nonsense, how can it be a soldier, a soldier can do things so cleanly?" It's a killer, it's a professional killer! ”

"Professional killer?" Qiu Gubo said to himself, "Could it be that the wind is full of buildings? ”

Qian Yuanbai was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and immediately said: "If it is the killer of Feng Manlou, then there is no need to investigate this case." ”

Qiu Gubo sighed, because what Qianyuanbai said was the truth, not to mention in Yongcheng, even if it was the entire Jiangsu and Zhejiang region, and even the whole country, no matter where it was, as long as it was found that it was the killer of Feng Manlou at this stage, the case would basically be closed.

Why?

First of all, you can only judge the origin of the killer from the methods at the scene, but there will be no clues left at the scene, and there will be no witnesses.

Qiu Gubo searched back and forth in the inn, and when he returned to Qianyuanbai, he had to admit: "Judging from the analysis of the situation at the scene, it is very likely that the killer of Fengmanlou did it." ”

Qian Yuanbai said helplessly: "Okay, the case is closed." ”

"No, the case can't be closed." Qiu Gubo frowned, "At least with me, the case will not be closed, I may not have the ability to find out the killer, but I will definitely be able to find the target of the assassination." ”

Qian Yuanbai was anxious: "Xiao Qiu, Qiu Detective, you should know that it is a troubled time now, even if you find those two targets, what can you do?" ”

"What can be?" Qiu Gubo looked at the second floor of the dilapidated inn, "Feng Manlou will never miss, and if you collect money, you will definitely kill the target, so as long as these two targets are still alive, as long as they appear, they will be targeted by the killer, and when the time comes, I just need to find the target and wait for the rabbit!" ”

Qian Yuanbai grabbed Qiu Gubo, who was about to leave: "Are you crazy!?" You should know how powerful the Feng Manlou killers are, not to mention our Yongcheng police, even if they send out the army, they may not be able to exterminate them. ”

Qiu Gubo smiled: "Old Qian, you just wait and see." ”

After speaking, Qiu Gubo strode away, leaving Qian Yuanbai standing there alone in a daze.

After a long time, the yin wind hit, and Qian Yuanbai came back to his senses, looked around, and ran away with his arms in his arms.

At this time, Qiu Gubo sat alone on the beach, thinking about what to do next?

In the next step, he could only have two choices, to go directly to Heiyun's Ding to ask for news, but this road was too difficult to walk, and Heiyun's people had always been tight-lipped.

Since the path of the black clouds is impassable, there is only one way left to go - the Dead Ear.

The Underworld was born out of the Red and Black Party, which in turn belonged to the group of thieves in the Pao Brothers' Society. Therefore, in order to make things easier, they have to go around all over the eyes to collect all kinds of information, not only stay for a long time, but even bribe people in the yamen.

After the Republic of China, the Red and Black Party became more and more powerful, and they also found that the knife money they earned by stealing was far less profitable and safer than selling all kinds of intelligence, so the Red and Black Party gradually broke away from the Pao Brothers' Association and changed its name to Maoer.

While continuing some of the rules of the Pao Brothers' Association, Maoer also began to establish its own rules of the rivers and lakes, and at the same time became more secretive.

In the eighth year of the Republic of China, that is, in 1919, Maoer officially called itself "Dead Ear" to the outside world, and became the largest non-governmental intelligence organization, they sold all kinds of intelligence, military, business, etc., as long as you are willing to pay, they can even help you find out where the target has been every day in the past year, who has seen, and what has eaten.

The Underworld organization is all over the country, infiltrating into all walks of life, although there is a profit, but it is also extremely dangerous, after all, all kinds of organizations on the rivers and lakes hate the Underworld, but sadly, they can't do without the Underworld.

There was a time when various factions on the rivers and lakes carried out a so-called encirclement and suppression of the underworld, hoping to completely eradicate this organization that posed a great threat to everyone, but the result was that before this encirclement and suppression operation, the leaders of the twelve sects all died on the same day.

This improvised alliance was quietly dissolved, and no one ever called for the extermination of the Dead Ear.

At the same time, even if you eat black on the Stygian, you will suffer the most severe punishment from the Styx, so no one dares to break the rules set by the Stygian so far.

Of course, there is also a rudder in Yongcheng, Qiu Gubo not only knows the helmsman of the rudder, but also bought the news from him, although it is expensive, but the accuracy of the message is 100%.

As long as he buys the news, Qiu Gubo grabs it every time and never misses it.

But even so, Qiu Gubo did not establish any so-called friendship with the rudder of the Underworld Yongcheng, first, the other party did not say a word except for business.

Second, Qiu Gubo is also reluctant to deal with the Underworld for a long time, because the people of the Underworld are very intelligent, and they are very willing to get in touch with people in the government, especially the police.

When the policeman wants to solve a big case one day and can't come up with so much money, the Stygian will use "intelligence exchange information" as a bait to develop the policeman into a downline of his own organization.

If this policeman gradually rises to prominence with the help of the Stygian, it is very likely that the Stygian will completely absorb him as a member of the organization, and then use this policeman to develop other useful officials in the government.

Qiu Gubo, who knows the usual methods of the dark ear, will only choose to buy news from them as a last resort.

When the first rays of sunlight in the morning shone into the house, Tang Anshu also pushed open the door of the room in the backyard of the second cave.

The moment the door was pushed open, Liu Luoqu's short sword was already placed in front of Tang Anshu's neck, and Wu Sihe, who was sitting at the table, also raised his gun at him at the same time.

Liu Luoqu closed the door and said with a smile: "Anshu, how are the past two days?" ”

"Okay, can I sit down and talk?" Tang Anshu smiled, and after getting Wu Sihe's nod and permission, he sat down, poured a cup of tea unhurriedly, moistened his throat after drinking, and then began to tell everything that had happened in the past two days in a hurry.

By the time he finished, it was almost noon.

Although Liu Luoqu had already put down the short sword, Wu Sihe still held the self-help in his hand tightly, judging the truth of Tang Anshu's words in his heart.

"That's the way it is, I'm not sure myself, so I'll come back to discuss with you whether I want to help this Shen Qingmeng." Tang Anshu looked at Liu Luoqu and Wu Sihe respectively.

Liu Luoqu smiled: "I don't like to use my brain in this regard, Senior Brother Wu, what do you think?" ”

Wu Sihe finally put the gun on the table: "If Shen Qingmeng has a connection with his employer and Sun San, then why did he still let us rob the prison on the premise that he knew that the information was wrong?" ”
