Chapter 22: The Visitation

August 19, 7:00 a.m.

Qin Feng hasn't been back since last night.

At first, Zheng Zhiya didn't think there was anything to worry about, and Qin Feng didn't send him any news or call him until twelve o'clock, he guessed that things were a little strange.

He first tried to find out Qin Feng's condition from the spirit realm with a spell, but found that Qin Feng's spirit had been covered with a layer of mist. Often, this is the result of being controlled by magic, drugs, or feelings.

In either case, Qin Feng is now being used by others.

Then, Zheng Zhiya used the six barges to make a hexagram for Qin Feng, the original hexagram is auspicious, but the change of hexagram is a big murderer. This is a hexagram with evil in auspiciousness, this hexagram is auspicious and will inevitably ensure that his life is worry-free and there are some adventures, but changing the hexagram to murder means that Qin Feng will inevitably be difficult and dangerous, and he will survive in danger.

Zheng Zhiya got up early, although he didn't sleep well last night, he also sorted out his mood and slept all night. Today, the last way left for him was to go to the place where Qin Feng's clues were finally lost to investigate.

Zheng Zhiya washed up, and after breakfast, he took the taxi he had made an appointment and went to Genting Villa. Because Zheng Zhiya didn't know how to communicate with the driver, he was not willing to communicate carefully with the driver across the language barrier. So the driver chose the route to reach Genting Hills through the city to the northern mountains.

It was only when he had to cross Bangkok's crowded Siam Square as the central financial center and be trapped in the crowded traffic on the viaduct that Zheng Zhiya felt the bustling side of the city. After all, Bangkok's municipal planning is spread out like a pie, and the financial center is so concentrated that the morning rush hour is simply impregnable.

At this time, the LED screen next to the viaduct, after broadcasting a round of advertisements, began to broadcast morning advertisements. In addition to Thai subtitles, there are also English subtitles.

The first few news items are nothing more than superficial articles about the speeches of the Thai leader, as well as political developments. Later, there began to be social news such as an unexplained terrorist attack on a seaside estate, a well-known entrepreneur being stabbed to death in his home, and the police seizing a drug smuggling boat.

When I saw the part where he was stabbed to death in his home, the time of the crime was about 11:00 last night, and according to the reporter's interview with the eyewitness, that is, the security personnel, I saw a person in a white shirt ******. A short video footage was published in the news, as well as a criminal portrait recalled by eyewitnesses.

Zheng Zhiya carefully looked at the figure and body shape of the person in the video, which was very similar to Qin Feng. However, the criminal portrait recalled by the eyewitnesses did not resemble him at all.

It's very similar to the one of the Heavenly Dao who confronted Qin Feng when he was in Tianjin before.

However, judging from the fact that Si Neng is on par with Qin Feng, Si's skills are quite good, if he wants to assassinate someone, how can he do it so uncleanly.

It was even in the news.

For Liwei, let everyone know that he killed him?

But Liwei's words only need to let others know that he killed the person, and there is no need to publish his own image.

The CCTV footage is certainly not too clear, and the eyewitness recollections must be different from the facts.

In other words, it is possible that the murderer is blaming the murderer for the murder through the discrepancies between images and memories and reality.

But what is it for?

And that well-known entrepreneur, in addition to the identity of the entrepreneur who exists as a yang on the surface, does he have any identity as a yin existence?

If anything, then this blame-blaming argument makes sense.

But I'm not a local, so I can only wait for an opportunity to find out the news.

As Zheng Zhiya gradually clarified his thoughts, the taxi slowly began to move forward. It took an hour and 35 minutes for a taxi to get from the viaduct to the foot of Genting Hills.

It was already when I arrived.

10:24 -

It's almost early noon.

After arriving at the foot of the mountain, Zheng Zhiya said to the taxi driver.

"Get off here."

The taxi driver could understand simple Chinese and nodded.

Zheng Zhiya chose to take the cable car up the mountain, on the one hand, for faster and more convenient, and on the other hand, he was used to a frugal life on weekdays. What's more, the view from the cable car up the mountain is always better.

Unless there is a special arrangement or a family, there can be four people in one gondola. On the same cable car as Zheng Zhiya were two young people in their early twenties who had never known each other.

Zheng Zhiya looked at the two of them a little and found that although both of them were neatly dressed, the inner collar of one of their white shirts was a little wrinkled. It can be seen that some are old, while the collar of the other person is extremely straight, and it can be seen that it is new.

The faces of the two of them were facing strangers in the cable car, the young man with a slightly wrinkled collar frowned, and the young man in the heart shirt had a much more stretched brow, and even the corners of his mouth were slightly raised.

It is said that this brow is connected to the heart, and the folds on the brows are just the appearance of the folds on the heart.

Even if he doesn't know the birthdays of the two, Zheng Zhiya knows who is lucky and who is back. Zheng Zhiya couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this gambler has to come to the casino after reciting the words, it can be seen that this gambling is like a bone poison, and people don't know it in the game. Leave this young man alone, I am afraid that if there is no creation, I am afraid that the bones will be dried early in the future.

Although he has the heart to ignite this gambler, he has no chance and he has no spare energy to set up a game to help others, so he will follow the trend and help if he can.

Thinking so, Zheng Zhiya no longer looked at the two young people in the cable car, but looked at the scenery outside the cable car slowly retreating. Today's weather is clear, the sun is shining directly through the rainforest, and the large leaves of the palm trees washed by the mist reflect the sunlight like emeralds.

Looking away, for dozens of miles, it is such a scene. Perhaps it's because Thailand's tropical scenery is too welcoming, but it makes the Chinese scenery in my memories particularly gentle. If I return to China, I am afraid that I will not feel that the scenery of China is gentle, but I will feel that the north is too rough and the south of the Yangtze River is too tired.

People have to stay away from it before they think it will be good.

The cable car came to a slow stop, and the gambler was the first to jump off the cable car in a hurry. Then another young man gave in, and Zheng Zhiya was not far behind, nodded in gratitude and stepped off the cable car.

Zheng Zhiya walked out of the gate of the cable car stop and walked into the lobby of Genting Villa.

The marble giant elephant in the fountain makes people feel cool when they see it.

The clock hanging behind the service desk told Zheng Zhiya the time.

10:30 It's almost noon.

Zheng Zhiya took out a piece of chewing gum and put it in his mouth.

He walked through the long corridor of blue and white with the characteristics of the Thai people, walked to the casino hall, and went to change a few chips first.

Zheng Zhiya is not good at gambling, and he doesn't know how to gamble, so he takes the chips and walks around at will. According to the feng shui layout, the hours flow.

Zheng Zhiya casually put the few chips in his hand in an empty slot machine.

The first time, I didn't hit.

The second time, I missed.

The third time, the slot machine shook all the cherries, that is, the jackpot was won. Not much, probably the slot machine spit out about 300,000 baht of chips.

Zheng Zhiya called a tall waiter and asked him to help him change it into a neater chip, and gave the waiter a 500 baht chip as a tip.

When the waiter saw that the guest was generous, he thanked him again and again, and his attitude was courteous.

Zheng Zhiya looked at the waiter's badge and asked.

"Your name is Liu Dong?"

"If you like, you can call me Ah Kuan."

The waiter said to Zheng Zhiya almost flatteringly.

"Who wants to call you Ah Kuan, Liu Dong, you go and slap the security guard over there now."

Zheng Zhiya's words seem to be inconsistent with the preamble, in order to test whether the name Liu Dong is the real name of this waiter.

Liu Dong really fell for the simplest spell in the world, turned his head and walked straight towards the security guard.

"Okay, Liu Dong, just kidding."

Liu Dong's movements stopped, as if nothing had happened just now.

"Sir, why do you make such a joke?"

"Don't mind."

Saying that, Zheng Zhiya gave him a 500 baht chip as a tip, and in a place like a casino, a tip can easily smooth out a little strange feeling.

"Liu Dong, don't tell anyone what I say to you."

"Sir, I won't tell anyone else, don't worry."

Liu Dong looked directly into Zheng Zhiya's eyes with a sincere expression, although it was the sincerity brought by the spell.

"I wonder if there was a death here yesterday."

"Yes."

"Who died?"

"Yesterday, I happened to be on duty, and it was a frequent visitor named Du Ankang who died."

"In addition to being a regular visitor here, what else do you know about Du Ankang?"

"He's a famous black boss, like that gang is called the Qinglian Gang or something. He also has a good relationship with the owner of Genting Hills, so he has been very arrogant here. I also hit someone before the accident yesterday. ”

"Hit someone?"

"Yes, I hit someone."

Du Ankang's beating was a detail that Qin Feng did not tell Zheng Zhiya in his text message yesterday.

"Then, after the beating, he was beaten by a masked man wearing a napkin, along with two of his men."

"Just one person, beat all three of them?"

This must be Qin Feng's right, Qin Feng only said Du Ankang's death, but he didn't say that he beat the three of them. In this case, Qin Feng must have caused a commotion yesterday. He deliberately didn't mention this paragraph, probably because he was confident that he could settle it with his own ability, and on the other hand, he was afraid that Zheng Zhiya would count him down if he knew about it.

"Yes, just such a person, beating all three of them, his skills were extremely neat, and many people didn't have time to react, only to see two followers lying on the ground. That Boss Du was pressed to the ground. ”

Combined with the fact that Qin Feng went to dinner with a friend he met in the casino yesterday, it seems that he had dinner with the friend he rescued with righteousness.

"Then the person who was saved by the masked master yesterday was a man and a woman."

"It's a female dealer, and she has only been substitute for two days. It's such a big problem. ”

"It's only been two days since I came to substitute work?"

"yes, I don't know her name yet."

Zheng Zhiya understood when he heard this, it was calculated that this female dealer approached Qin Feng yesterday. Moreover, she even knew that Qin Feng was coming to Genting Villa.

"Do you know who she helps with?"

"Help a female dealer named Ah Zhen, Xiuzhen usually puts blackjack at that table over there. Today I went to the VIP room to send studs. ”

Liu Qiang said and pointed to the VIP room over there.

Zheng Zhiya asked Liu Qiang how he could enter the VIP room, and Liu Qiang told him that as long as he paid 100,000 baht as a membership fee, he was eligible to enter the VIP room. The base bet in the VIP room is 10,000 baht.

Zheng Zhiya gave Liu Qiang 100,000 baht, which was the cost of joining the club, and he casually gave a fake name called Zhou Dongyi.

Entered the VIP room.

Liu Qiang also followed all the way, as if he was Zheng Zhiya's special follower. Zheng Zhiya felt that he was a little troublesome, so he gave a tip and asked him to get mineral water.

Before leaving, Liu Qiang deliberately asked if he wanted to add ice, and Zheng Zhiya said that as long as the whole bottle was brought, there was no need to pour it into the cup and add ice.

Zheng Zhiya saw that in addition to the dealer Xiuzhen in the VIP room, there were two gamblers who were also playing.

One of the two was the gambler on the cable car, and the other was a short man.

The gambler's wealth is not his own, which shows that he still went through luck at the beginning. Moreover, the illusion of this luck remaining in the gambler left him with an illusory self-esteem, so even though he had no money to buy new clothes, he still kept his clothes neat and tidy.

It is not difficult to see that in the past, he was lucky for a long time, otherwise he would not have developed the habit of gambling in the VIP room.

In fact, in Zheng Zhiya's opinion, the VIP room is not much different from the room outside. It's just that strange print, which Zheng Zhiya recognizes as the original handiwork of Paul Klee, whose distorted shapes and diverse colors are incompatible with the Thai decoration of the room.

However, it complements the insatiable greed and sinking of the sea of suffering of the casino beings.

Zheng Zhiya couldn't help but snicker when he thought of this, I'm afraid that the person who designed this VIP room was a little ill-intentioned.

Zheng Zhiya chose an empty chair and sat down.

Su-jin dealt two cards to his men.

The hole card is an ace, and the card is still an ace. The start is so big, it's hard to lose.

After a few rounds, Zheng Zhiya was tired of high chips in front of him, but he didn't cheat. Out of the instinct of the fortune teller, he always has to choose a feng shui position that is conducive to him to sit down, so the fortune of this room naturally flows to him alone.

However, Zheng Zhiya had no intention of making money from the two people in the room. However, there is a deliberate intention to lose back the chips that have been won.

Who knows, losing is losing, somehow, from the beginning of Zheng Zhiya's intention to lose money, all the chips exported went to the short gambler alone. After three rounds, Zheng Zhiya was not in a hurry, but he was suspicious.

But the gambler was already in a hurry.

"Chen Jiu, you are out of a thousand!"

"Jiang Li, you don't have any evidence, don't talk nonsense."

The short man Chen Jiu said coldly to the gambler Jiang Li.

Zheng Zhiya didn't have such a good eyesight to see that he was haunted by thousands, but when the two of them made such a fuss, he heard the names of the two of them seriously.

"Mr. Jiang Lijiang? Don't worry, let's get on with the fun. ”

Zheng Zhiya first said politely and jokingly to the gambling ghost Jiang Li.

"Mr. Chen Jiu Chen? You've almost won, so put some water. ”

said another word to the short man Chen Jiu.

Chen Jiu replied.

"I don't know what to call this boss?"

"You can call me Zhou Dongyi."

Yan Bi and the three gambled a few more rounds, Chen Jiu did not win any more, and Zheng Zhiya deliberately lost money. However, this Jiang Li is making more and more money.

In this way, nine times out of ten, Chen Jiu really made a few thousands, but the thousands also have something to do with luck. When Zheng Zhiya wanted to enter the account, the other party didn't want to give out the thousand, and when Zheng Zhiya wanted to make the account, the other party remembered to make a thousand, but it was not Jiang Li's turn to be an unlucky gambler.

Seeing that the time was not early, Zheng Zhiya took out his pocket watch and took a look.

It already is.

12:30 No more lunch, it's past noon.

If you don't eat after noon, it's not the right time to eat lunch after noon, when the stomach fire loses motivation. After Zheng Zhiya said goodbye to the two gamblers, he went to the restaurant to eat. Asked the dealer about Xiuzhen, he was going to talk about it in the afternoon.

Before going to eat, he walked up to Jiang Li's side, bowed his head and whispered in his ear.

"Jiang Li, take it when you see it, don't gamble again in the future."

The voice was very soft, only Jiang Li could hear it, and the other two people in the room should not be able to hear it.

In the afternoon, when Zheng Zhiya came back from lunch, the gamblers Chen Jiu and Jiang Li in this room had already left. Only the dealer Xiuzhen in the morning and Li Dong, who had been waiting for him, were left in this room.

Seeing that the two guests in the VIP room were gone, Zheng Zhiya half-jokingly asked the dealer Xiuzhen.

"What about my two friends."

"Boss Zhou, as soon as you leave, Boss Jiang will lose his gambling nature. I don't want to gamble, it's strange, according to the past, this Boss Jiang can gamble until midnight without eating or drinking. ”

"Li Dong, there are no other guests yet, you go and help me get some mineral water. By the way, help me get some more fruit. ”

Saying that, Zheng Zhiya handed him another chip as a tip.

When Li Dong met such a generous guest, he naturally walked out of the VIP room very diligently and neatly. In this way, in this gambling room, only Xiuzhen and Zheng Zhiya are left.

Zheng Zhiya deliberately took Li Dong away, wanting to ask about the girl who substituted for her. However, I am afraid that it is easy to startle the snake when I ask.

And the girls who work in casinos rarely have their real names.

At this time, the spirit rune had to be used. However, every corner of the room is stared at by surveillance cameras.

Zheng Zhiya is a fortune diviner, not a master of a thousand arts, or a master of magic, he does not have the ability to deceive the camera with superb techniques.

At this point, he can only use the last hole card.

Zheng Zhiya opened his pocket watch and looked at the time.

13:13。

His primordial god, a unicorn, was summoned from the spirit realm.

The second hand on this pocket watch stopped.

Then, in this short period of time, Zheng Zhiya took off one of the other party's hair and put it in his pocket. After all, the hair is a part of the master, as long as the spirit rune wraps the hair, then it is equivalent to doing the work on the master. Although the severed hair will gradually lose contact with the owner, the question that Zheng Zhiya wants to ask is not that long.

"If I ask you next, you will forget about it."

Xiuzhen nodded.

"Who is the girl who asked you to substitute for you?"

"I don't know her."

"You don't know her, how can you ask her to substitute for you?"

At this time, Xiuzhen was controlled by Zheng Zhiya's spirit rune, and she touched her soul more directly than being manipulated by her name. So, there is no possibility that Xiuzhen is lying.

"Yes. I didn't know, but she asked me to work for me for two days, and I agreed. ”

"Where did she find you?"

"A bar on Cowboy Street."

"What's the address?"

Xiuzhen took out a pink card the size of a business card with a bewitching girl from her pocket and handed it to Zheng Zhiya, who looked at the card.

This is a promotional card for the bar, with the address of the bar clearly written on it. With this information, it was enough for Zheng Zhiya to find this bar.

However, if you look closely, there is a ballpoint pen on the card, which is written in Chinese.

"Find me here."

Then it was handwritten in a ballpoint pen, another address, in the area between the Grand Palace area and Chinatown. This is a residential apartment.

It seems that there is no point in going to the bar anymore. This girl who made Xiuzhen substitute for her know early on that someone would find her, and she was not afraid of someone finding her.

Is this a trap of the Heavenly Dao?

The hexagram is becoming more and more dangerous.
