Chapter 10: Blurred Clues

Thirty oceans? Tang Anshu knew that it was a big temptation for anyone, ordinary people worked hard, and it was only five to ten oceans a month, and even the salary set by the Yongcheng Autonomous Government for the governor was only sixty oceans a month.

When the men found the lame, they gave him fifty oceans, which was an advance, and made him remember what he had said, and his job was to wait for people to come to him near Nyorport, and sell him the information they had taught him about the prison to those who came to him.

"Thirty oceans a month! Coupled with the money from the sale of intelligence, if you are lucky, you will have at least a hundred oceans a month! The lame man looked at Tang Anshu and said excitedly, "A hundred oceans!" I couldn't have dreamed of making that money! ”

Tang Anshu said lightly: "Your original plan was to make a sum of money and run, because you know that such an easy and profitable transaction must be very risky." However, you are a good gambler, you basically gamble all the money you earn every month, and your luck is getting worse and worse, and you lose more and more, so you can only continue to do it until today. ”

The cripple nodded and looked at Tang Anshu in surprise: "How do you know?" Do you check me? You've been following me? ”

Tang Anshu shook his head: "It's easy to speculate, if you don't gamble, they won't look for you, the reason why your gambling luck is getting worse and worse is because they want to control you, as the saying goes, nine out of ten gambles and nine cheats, you should see it, right?" ”

The cripple was not stupid, and immediately understood: "You mean, over the past year, I have been losing money, and it is all those bastards who have harmed me?" ”

"You did it yourself." Tang Anshu said lightly, "They didn't force you to gamble, you went by yourself, this is called fishing, and people still use straight hooks." ”

The lame man sat paralyzed on the ground: "I know that there is no such good deal in the world, I am dead, and they will definitely not let me go." ”

Tang Anshu handed him the silver ticket: "From now on, as long as you stop gambling and don't mention the fact that you have sold fake information in the past year, I believe that if nothing happens, you can live to the end of your life." ”

The cripple was surprised: "You really give me money and let me go?" ”

"I've given you the silver ticket." Tang Anshu pointed to the silver ticket in the cripple's hand, "Let me ask you, who was the person who asked you to set up a trap in the first place?" Is he among the people who killed you today? ”

The cripple immediately shook his head: "No, the leader is a woman, very beautiful, very coquettish, the kind of person who wants to pick off her clothes when you see her!" ”

"Women?" Tang Anshu was a little surprised, "What kind of woman?" How old is it? What is the body shape? How many times have you met her? What does she dress up every time? What accent do you speak? ”

Faced with Tang Anshu's series of questions, the lame man nodded again and again, and recalled carefully: "Not very old, in his early twenties, very beautiful, very fragrant on his body, fragrant osmanthus flowers, very good figure, about the same height as me, every time he comes to see me, he is dressed very brightly, but he doesn't look like the wife of a big family, and he looks like a ...... with that commotion."

"Prostitute?" Tang Anshu blurted out.

The lame man immediately nodded: "Yes, yes, prostitute, I can't tell where the accent of her speech is, because she speaks the official dialect of Shuntianfu." ”

Tang Anshu pondered for a moment: "I know, you can go." ”

The cripple asked, "Really?" ”

Tang Anshu said in a deep voice: "You don't want to leave? ”

"Let's go! Let's go! The lame man immediately got up, limped towards the reef in the distance, and turned back three times in one step, for fear that Tang Anshu would catch up.

When the lame man was gone, Tang Anshu turned to the brightly lit beach, thinking.

On the periphery of the prison, he memorized several names: Tie Staff Officer, Wen Sanwa, Liang Shiqiu, and Wei Qiming.

also remembered the key words of Wen Sanwa's repetition of the song hummed by Liang Shiqiu.

And here with the lame, he learned that the person who arranged the lame man's set was a woman, most likely a prostitute in her early twenties, very beautiful, with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, and brightly dressed.

From the beginning of the analysis, the Wei Qiming that Wen Sanwa said in her mouth should be the Wei Qiming she was looking for, and the iron staff officer should be Tie Peiwen, the local minister who was famous in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the past, and he had long heard that he had taken refuge in Sun San and became Sun San's military staff officer.

Wen Sanwa said that Tie Peiwen suddenly started looking for Wei Qiming one day, which shows that Tie Peiwen's goal is the same as himself.

Let's talk about Liang Shiqiu's song, Tang Anshu didn't know what the tune was because he hadn't heard it sung by himself, but judging from the few lyrics retold by Wen Sanwa, Tang Anshu felt a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it.

And the prostitute who arranged the next set is the strangest one, as the main messenger, it stands to reason that she should not meet directly with a chess piece like a cripple, and she not only met, but also met several times, and each time she was dressed so brightly and brightly, as if she was afraid that others would not remember her.

Tang Anshu thought of this, suddenly realized something, smiled, and turned to leave.

Early the next morning, the Yongcheng police finally arrived at the beach, took over the murder scene from the impatient Xingang Coast Guard, and at the same time drove away all the fishermen who were preparing to go to sea, blocked all the fishing boats on the beach, and then slowly began the investigation work.

In Xingang, the Yongcheng Police Station has no jurisdiction, and it should be the Xingang Coast Guard that maintains law and order in Xingang, and the Xingang Coast Guard is a garrison force jointly formed by those foreign governments in Yongcheng Xingang, although Rongcheng, a group of coast guard members, is Chinese, but the head of the coast guard, known as the commander of the joint coast guard, is a British named George.

However, the Xingang Coast Police has always disliked to meddle in cases that occur in the bottom fishermen's residence in Xingang, because there is no oil and water to fish, so when encountering such cases, they notify the people from the Yongcheng Police Department to come and take over the investigation after sealing off the scene.

Wu Liu, the captain of the Yongcheng Detective Team, and Ban Lu, the deputy captain, stood on the beach and waited, and the two of them, who were shivering by the sea breeze, looked at the coast guards who were staring at them and laughing in the distance, and they were angry.

Ban Lu spat at the ground and said, "Damn, these bastards, every time they encounter this kind of case, they will quickly notify us, and all the hard work will be handed over to us." ”

Wu Liu sighed: "Who let those yellow hairs stand behind them?" ”

Ban Lu crossed his arms and looked into the distance: "Eh, why hasn't the young director come yet?" Otherwise, we can quickly pack up and go back, write a report and hand it over. ”

Wu Liu looked at Ban Lu: "In the director, you can make a difference, but in the young director, if you dare to do this, you will die." ”

As soon as Wu Liu finished speaking, a fast horse in the distance suddenly rushed to the outer cordon, and immediately raised the reins in his hand, and directly pulled the horse and jumped over the heads of several panicked and hurriedly evaded policemen, and after landing steadily on the beach, he rushed to Wu Liu and Ban Lu.

Wu Liu and Ban Lu immediately stood still, Wu Liu bowed, and Ban Lu saluted, and said in unison to the man who turned over and dismounted: "Good morning, young director!" ”

The young man known as the young chief squinted at the two policemen: "Wu Liu, Ban Lu, are you two deaf?" ”

Wu Liu and Ban Lu were stunned for a moment, and Wu Liu said: "No, my ears are so good." ”

The young man reached out and grabbed the ears of the two, and the pain made the two of them grin and cry out in pain.

The young man said in a low voice: "Then why can't you remember, don't call me the young director?" I'm the second arrester of the police department, should I be called that? ”

"Two, two......" Wu Liu was so painful that he could only say one word, while Ban Lu stomped his foot in pain.

The young man let go of his hand: "You are only two, let me tell you, I Qiu Gubo is not like those rich sons who eat all day long and wait for death, I am the second catcher, but you have to call me Qiu Catcher or Inspector Qiu." ”

Wu Liu and Ban Lu immediately stood up straight and saluted: "Yes!" Qiu Detective! ”

Qiu Gubo waved his hand: "Okay, then start again." ”

Wu Liu and Ban Lu glanced at each other and shouted again: "Good morning, Qiu Yutan!" ”

"Morning your grandfather." Qiu Gubo took out his pocket watch and knocked on Wu Liu's forehead, "It's almost noon, good morning!" Tell me, what the hell happened last night? ”

Wu Liu replied: "Last night, some fishermen heard gunshots, but saw nothing, after they called the police, the coast guard cordoned off the scene, this morning, two bodies were washed up on the beach, so the coast guard notified us as usual!" ”

When Wu Liu spoke, he deliberately accentuated the word "convention".

Ban Lu also hurriedly said: "Yes, convention! ”

Qiu Gubo glanced at the two of them and knew that they were dissatisfied: "Okay, we are the police, and this is our duty." ”

After speaking, Qiu Gubo looked at the row of fishing boats in the distance and said to himself: "I finally took a vacation to go out, and such a big thing happened, how many shots did you fire last night?" ”

Wu Liu replied: "Three shots, and they heard three gunshots." ”

Qiu Gubo asked again: "Three gunshots, two corpses?" ”

Wu Liu nodded, and Ban Lu replied: "Yes!" ”

Qiu Gubo asked again, "Where did the gunshots come from?" Coast, beach, or boat? ”

Wu Liu replied, "On board." ”

Qiu Gubo asked again, "Did you hear any other movements?" ”

Ban Lu replied: "Yes, someone heard the sound of falling water, it sounded like two people falling into the water. ”

Qiu Gubo asked: "Two people fell into the water, two corpses." ”

Ban Lu and Wu Liu nodded.

Qiu Gubo asked again: "Where is the location of the overboard?" ”

Wu Liu pointed into the distance: "Over there." ”

Qiu Gubo asked again, "What about the gunshots?" ”

Ban Lu shook his head: "Then the range is large, and there are many people who hear it." ”

Qiu Gubo pondered for a while, and then ordered, "Go, bring me someone." ”

Wu Liu was stunned: "Who are you looking for?" ”

"Are you stupid?" Qiu Gu said sharply, "Who heard the gunshots last night? ”

Wu Liu nodded, and Ban Lu asked again: "Qiu Zhutan, I just said, there were a lot of people who heard the gunshots last night, and they all came here?" ”

Qiu Gubo said impatiently: "As long as anyone who hears the sound of gunfire on the fishing boat, call me, I have something to tell them." ”

An hour later, Wu Liu and Ban Lu called the men to the beach and stood up, and then Ban Lu ran to the fishing boat to report to Qiu Gubo, who was checking from one fishing boat to another.

Qiu Gubo jumped off the boat, walked up to those people, and said with his fists clenched: "Excuse me, everyone, who heard the gunshots yesterday and felt very clear, as if it sounded in their own ears?" Trouble raise your hand. ”
