I looked at Boss Wei in confusion, Boss Wei pondered for a moment, and then said to me: "Those who live on this street are all sinners in the industry, and if you contact us too much, you will bring trouble to yourself." ”

"Is this the case all over the country?" I asked him tentatively.

Boss Wei quickly understood what I meant, shook his head, and said to me: "Of course not, the reason why Bohai Bay can become a gathering place for people in the industry is because the old couple's family is here. I don't know what to say, anyway...... There are very few places like Bohai Bay, and in some provinces and cities, there may not be people in the industry at all. ”

I said, "I heard that in addition to the family, there are five other families in the industry, is it true that the gathering place of each family is like Bohai Bay?" ”

Boss Wei thought for a while and said: "It is said that wherever there is a family to stand on, it is easy for people in the line to gather. But I don't think there will be any other place like Bohai Bay. ”

In fact, I have always been curious about the situation in Bohai Bay, and since I have talked about it today, I can't help but ask: "Why is Bohai Bay mixed?" ”

Boss Wei smiled and said, "You have a lot of questions. The reason why Bohai Bay is mixed may be because the evil spirit of the family is heavy enough, and many people like me want to use this evil qi to wash away their sins, perhaps because this area of Bohai Bay has a special attraction. ”

I continued with his words: "Can the evil spirit of the family wash away the sins of others? ”

Boss Wei looked a little uncertain: "The family is from a military family, and throughout the ages, I don't know how many murders have been committed, but I have never been retributed." Officially because of this, some people think that it is the evil spirit that has been passed down from generation to generation that saves the family, and even the domestic servants with foreign surnames who have been accepted by the family can also wash away their sins with this evil spirit. Hey, anyway, everyone is saying this, and I don't know if it's true. ”

I opened my mouth to ask him if Boss Wen and Boss Yu, who are now guarding the door in the old alley, and Boss Jiang of the small noodle restaurant, are also guilty.

But before I could make a sound, Boss Wei waved his hand at me: "I've said enough today, let's stop here." By the way, there is one more thing I want to explain to you. Although the people on Yulong Street have never seen you, they all know Ergou and know that Ergou is your assistant, and you always have the unique aura of your family, so you don't have to worry that the people here won't recognize you. If you need help, just tell them that most of them, except for a few old guys, will be there for you. ”

After saying this, Boss Wei shook his enamel jar at me, and the action looked similar to waving goodbye.

I didn't linger any longer, and after a brief thank-you, I said goodbye to Boss Wei and took Li Huaishan to a small hotel located in the middle of Yulong Street.

The door of the inn is small, but it is very clean, and the corridor exudes a faint jasmine fragrance.

I often smell this smell in thrift stores, and I like this scented air freshener very much.

It's just that the fragrance in the hotel seems to have an imperceptible weird smell, and I can't say what weirdness it is, anyway, I just feel that this smell is not normal.

Not long after entering the store, a middle-aged man with a short figure straightened up from behind the counter, he first glanced at Li Huaishan, and then said to me: "Su Yunbin lives in room 302. ”

I held out my right hand to him: "What is your surname?" ”

He looked at my hand with a hesitant expression, as if shaking hands with me would be a very difficult thing for him.

After a long time, he suddenly took a step back and said to me, "Go up." ”

I said, "I've met Boss Wei." ”

As I spoke, my hands were still in the air.

He suddenly frowned: "Since you have met Lao Wei, then he should have told you that getting too close to us people will bring you trouble." ”

I stepped forward and forcibly grabbed his right hand and shook it.

Although he kept frowning, he didn't show any unkindness.

I let go of his hand and smiled at him, "I've always been a casual person, don't be surprised." ”

He sighed helplessly: "Alas, your temperament is really similar to Feng Yu back then, but you are more ruthless than Feng Yu...... You're a very ruthless person. ”

It's weird, I've grown so big, it's the first time someone has said I'm ruthless.

While thinking so, I looked at Li Huaishan, but found that Li Huaishan actually nodded at me, and he seemed to agree with the shopkeeper's words.

Probably seeing the doubts in my eyes, Li Huaishan took the initiative to explain: "You are not ruthless enough?" In order to exchange Lingyun with the Netherworld Tongbao, I used that Qian Feng to cut my hand every time, obviously just cut a little skin, but in order to bleed more, you hurt your bones every time. I'm telling you, this kind of thing is really not something that ordinary people can do. ”

I retorted, "Anyway, my wound heals quickly, what are you afraid of?" ”

"No matter what you say, I think you're quite ruthless anyway," Li Huaishan said, "Just the pain of the bone being cut open, ordinary people can't bear it......"

The shopkeeper is probably a person who doesn't like to be noisy, and when Li Huaishan raised his voice slightly, he couldn't help but interrupt: "My name is He Jin." ”

"Boss He," I called briefly, and I said hello to him again.

Li Huaishan opened his mouth again, as if he wanted to continue discussing the topic just now, I waved my hand to stop Li Huaishan, and then asked Boss He: "Do you remember, when did Su Yunbin stay in the hotel?" ”

Boss He said: "That day should be the 27th of September in the solar calendar, and the first day he moved in, he thought the house was stuffy, so he changed the room and moved to room 302 opposite the chowder restaurant." ”

I asked, "When did he die?" ”

Boss He shook his head: "The specific time is not clear, but I speculate that it should be the evening of September 28th." On the morning of the 29th, I went out to buy groceries and found a round hole in the window of room 302, and the cracks around the hole were relatively regular, and at first glance it was shot by bullets. ”

I said, "Didn't you report the crime in the first place?" ”

Boss He: "I notified my family first, and then reported the case. Until now, I have not been to the scene of the crime, but I have witnessed the family carrying away Su Yunbin's body, and the stretcher was covered with a white cloth at the time, so I don't know where Su Yunbin was injured. ”

Speaking of this, he paused, and then smiled a little embarrassedly: "The people who live on this street are already in trouble, so more is better than less, I knew early on that the cause of Su Yunbin's death must be very wide-ranging, and I didn't dare to go up for anything, and I knew very little information." ”

I pouted helplessly: "Understandable. Hey, by the way, how do you know that the hole in the window was made by a bullet? ”

Boss He said: "I used to specialize in the arms business. Oh, I remembered when you said that, judging from the hole, the other party should have fired a gun on the top floor of the chowder hall, and the weapon used was a rifled gun that was not very good. ”

His words fit in with Bao Useful's speculation.

I looked out of the hotel, and across the street from the hotel was a restaurant, with a huge signboard on the door, inlaid with four gold-plated words "Fish and Dragon Chowder".

The hotel has a total of four floors, and there are several clusters of antennas on the top floor, which are supposed to be used to receive TV signals.

Boss He said to me on the side: "The owner of the chowder restaurant is surnamed Zheng, and he has a very strange temperament. His shop has always only accepted his own people, and it is impossible for people from outside to enter the store. ”

"Entertain only your own people?" Li Huaishan couldn't help but ask: "You mean, the murderer and the owner of the chowder restaurant are in the same group?" ”

"Of course I don't mean that," Boss He explained: "The people I am talking about are the neighbors on Yulong Street, to put it simply, Boss Zheng does not do business with outsiders, and his shop is all supported by people on Yulong Street." And I believe that no one on Yulong Street can be a murderer, mainly because they don't have that guts. ”

I turned to him and asked, "Has anyone on our street ever been a mercenary overseas?" ”

Boss He didn't have to think about it, and shook his head directly: "No, everyone is a person in the industry." Why did you suddenly ask about this? ”

I pouted: "It's okay, just ask." ”

As I spoke, I raised my hand and pointed to the staircase, intending to tell Boss He that I was going up, but Boss He smiled and nodded.

Li Huaishan and I walked all the way down the stairs, and when we reached the second floor, we deliberately stopped to check and found that the entire floor was unoccupied.

At the end of the corridor on the third floor, there was a service cart full of towels, mops and other cleaning supplies, but other than that, only the two lights on the roof were on.

To be honest, from the moment I entered the hotel, I had a very uncomfortable feeling, as if something had distorted all my senses and made my senses of sight, smell, and touch all wrong.

This feeling became even stronger especially when I saw the things in the service car and the lights above my head.

I unbuttoned the first button under my neckline, trying to breathe a little easier, as I turned to look due west at the window where I could see the kitchen of the chowder and the chef swinging the spatula in the kitchen.

Strange to say, when I looked through the window and saw the scene outside, it seemed that something was back to normal.

At this time, Li Huaishan took two quick steps and opened the door of room 302, and Bao You's voice immediately echoed in my ears: "Do you have any gains over there?" ”

I gently tugged at my neckline as I entered the door and said to Bao You, "The murderer is not from Yulong Street. The owner of the chowder shop did not know that the murderer had been on the roof of the chowder shop. In addition, the murderer who killed Su Yunbin was most likely not a human, he ...... Maybe it's something we've never seen before, just like Wu Lin. ”

At that time, Bao Youyou was wearing a pair of medical soft rubber gloves, squatting on the ground and carefully looking for something.

Hearing my words, he slowly raised his head, frowned and asked me, "Are you still suspicious of Wu Lin?" ”

I rubbed my neck and nodded: "I don't know what's going on, I always think the murderer is him." ”

Bao Yong clasped his hands and said thoughtfully: "But Wu Lin only entered Bohai Bay after Su Yunbin's death, I think he is not very suspicious." ”
