Chapter 49: The Flooded Secret Room
"Ah! That's right! We're here to spy on the number two person, and we heard Officer Zhang tell me your address, and I happened to be passing through here, so I'm here to pay you a visit, and I'll tell you a message by the way. ”
Hearing Li Xiao say this, Morton remembered his intention, quickly cleared his throat, and said solemnly: "This place is a bit suspicious, it may belong to a contact point of the Champs-Élysées consortium in Hong Kong." We had planned to go there tonight to investigate, but a few of us were Westerners, and it was easy to get noticed in that kind of place. And Officer Zhang's subordinates are not capable, so we discussed it and felt that it would be more appropriate for Officer Zhang to go. And what he means is that I hope you and Daochang Li can be there to assist him. ”
As he spoke, Merton took out a small piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Li Xiao, and said, "This is the address." ”
The No. 2 person refers to the returned overseas Chinese Chen Ziyu. Li Xiao nodded, took the small piece of paper from Merton's hand and glanced at it, and said in surprise: "Rose Night?"
"Hmm!" Merton nodded, and said, "But don't be fooled by this elegant name, this is just a nightclub, but a little higher." The owner of the nightclub is a 31-year-old woman whose middle name is Li Meina. According to our investigation, this woman is actually a Thai who only opened the nightclub two years ago. You know, a business like this is very difficult to run without the support of local underground forces. But this Li Meina arrived here two years ago, and no one has ever bothered her since the nightclub opened. There are usually some underworld characters who are messing around in it, but they generally don't dare to make much trouble, as if they are very face-saving for this Li Meina. ”
Wright said on the side: "Since nothing happened, this nightclub has not attracted the attention of the police for a long time, but some information sent by the serious crime team below has attracted our attention, so we intervened in the investigation, and only then did we find out that this Li Meina is a Thai identity, and it seems that it is related to the Champs-Élysées consortium." If we're not mistaken, then this nightclub is a stronghold of the Champs-Élysées consortium in Hong Kong, and it is used by them to cover up some illegal business. ”
Li Xiao frowned and said: "Is there any illegal business in Hong Kong? By the way, the information shows that the Champs-Li consortium didn't bid for that island with Chu Xiaotian a year ago? So don't they have a legally registered company in Hong Kong? Why don't they investigate from that aspect?"
Merton smiled and said, "Although there is a consortium in the Champs, the group that can make the forces of 'Hell Black Blood' suffer is definitely not a legitimate force that uses legitimate business as a source of profits, and such a group will have a hidden stronghold no matter where it is, so as to cover their illegal business." If we had just started with their legally registered companies, I dare say we wouldn't have detected any illegal activity. This case of the murder of a teenager is so bizarre that there is a perception within Interpol that they may be involved in the smuggling of human organs. Therefore, it is a very good breakthrough to start the investigation from their strongholds that cover illegal business. ”
Li Xiao patted his head suddenly, and then he reacted. I was obviously confused by the word "consortium" in the Champs, and I suddenly didn't think of the essence of the power of the Champs-Études consortium. At this time, after listening to Merton's words, I was able to save this so-called consortium, but I am afraid that it is an evil force like the broken water flow on the well, and it is indeed impossible to find out any clues from the property under their name.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I know about this matter, you can go back first! I will contact Officer Zhang to go with Daochang Li later." ”
After sending off Murton and the others, Li Xiao glanced at Chu Xiaoqian, who was next to him with a pair of bony eyes open, and groaned a little distressedly.
"Hey, what are you thinking, don't try to dump me!"
As soon as she saw Li Xiao's expression, Chu Xiaoqian's eyes immediately widened in fear and said, "Let's talk about it, you are my bodyguard, and you want to protect my safety twenty-four hours a day." I'll warn you first! Don't think about leaving me alone!"
Li Xiao shook his head helplessly, even if Chu Xiaoqian didn't say it, he would naturally take Chu Xiaoqian with him. He is only holding the title of special adviser within the police, and he does not need to be present for the real dangerous investigation, and he does not have the legal qualifications to do so. Calling him and Li Daocheng is just a precautionary measure, Li Xiao and Zhang Biao have cooperated for many years, so they naturally know what he means.
If Chu Xiaoqian is a quiet and disciplined little girl, he has nothing to worry about taking her with him, besides, taking a girl to a nightclub to spend time seems to be a good cover! It's just that Li Xiao knows that this Miss Chu is eccentric, so he is thinking about whether to quietly bring the old ghost and Xiaoshan. Although the old ghost is as timid as a mouse, he is always a hundred-year-old ghost, and it is naturally safer to have him quietly follow him from a distance. It's just that in this way, if the "Night of the Roses" is really a stronghold in the Champs, the old ghost will have to risk being seen through his identity, although this risk is very small, but this guts old guy is only afraid and unwilling.
And he had to inform the old ghost and Xiaoshan, but he couldn't take Chu Xiaoqian into the basement.
was worried, Tai Suizi, who was in a wide robe and big sleeves, walked in from outside the door with his head held high, and this old guy finally appeared a little more normal this time. He was still wearing a cyan robe, but he was carrying a large package on his back.
Li Xiao looked at Tai Suizi strangely and said, "Senior, you are always ......."
Li Xiao felt strange in his heart, but even if he understood, he couldn't help but quietly breathe a sigh of relief. This old thing seems to be ready to leave with a package, with his virtue, even if he tells people everywhere that he has seen old ghosts and small mountains, he is afraid that he will not believe it, and he will leave if he leaves! This old thing is bumping into and running all day long, not to mention destroying things, but also eating and drinking spicy food, and let him live for ten days and a half months, and his belongings will be eaten away.
Thinking like this, Li Xiao's heart was relieved, and Tai Suizi had already made a joke and smiled: "Oh, that's the case." My apprentice and I had only arrived a few days earlier, and had taken up residence in a small inn outside. It just so happens that the entanglement is almost exhausted, since Li Tanyue is so old-fashioned and hot-hearted, your place is also quite suitable for the old man. The old man just went to change into a set of clothes, and by the way, he brought his luggage, and he stayed here for a long time in the future. Huh, Master Li, ...... you are?"
Tai Suizi looked at Li Xiao, who had straight eyes and wanted to cry without tears, in surprise, and suddenly realized: "I understand, you are too surprised to see that I am willing to give in to you, right? Actually, it doesn't have to be like this! The old man has always only talked about fate when he makes friends with people. If you get into the eyes of the old man, the old man will come uninvited. If he can't get into the eyes of the old man, let him move to Jinshan Yinshan, the old man will never step into his house half a step. Li Tanyue, although your cultivation is low, and you are far from me, but the old man and you hit it off at first sight, so he favors you, and it is just the word 'fate', you don't have to be flattered like this!"
Li Xiao exhaled deeply, resisting the urge to volley him out of the door with one leg. Suddenly, his heart moved, but he had an excuse to temporarily support Chu Xiaoqian.
"Miss Chu, we have already said, you have to listen to me when I have serious business. I can take you along, but I have an important matter to discuss with this senior, so now you go back to your room and don't wander around. I'm going to be alone with this senior for a while, and if you can't do this little request, then I'm sorry, I'll have to lock you in the house alone. ”
"Hmph, what's so rare that you think I'm going to eavesdrop on you?"
Chu Xiaoqian pursed her lips, walked up to the second floor with a snort, and slammed the door shut.
"Senpai!"
Li Xiao nodded to Tai Suizi, glanced at Chu Xiaoqian's closed door, turned around and walked quickly towards the basement. Tai Suizi glanced thoughtfully in Chu Xiaoqian's direction, and also followed Li Xiao towards the basement.
As soon as he approached the door of the basement, Li Xiao's eyes couldn't help but widen, and he said in surprise: "This ...... What's going on?"
At the end of the staircase in the basement, there was a layer of water, and the water had already overflowed the staircase, and the closed ironwood door had been flooded a small section below. Li Xiao looked at Tai Suizi beside him in a daze, but saw that he had already tied the hem of his robe into his waist, and then bent down and pulled up his trousers, so he smiled at Li Xiao and said: "Qi is the foundation of the world, and water is also the foundation of the world. As far as the old man knows, during the flood and famine, Pangu opened the world, first there was 'qi', and then there was 'water', so water gave birth to all things, which shows how important this 'water' is, and it is ......"
Before Tai Suizi finished speaking, Li Xiao had already recovered from his daze, kicked open the heavy ironwood door, and a noise suddenly came out.
This basement has a special formation arrangement, which can prevent the sound from spreading, and there is no movement outside the gate, but as soon as the door is opened, the scene in front of him suddenly makes Li Xiao stunned and unable to make a sound.
The water in the basement was knee-deep, and the old ghost's bookshelf with its carefully arranged protective circle didn't seem to be affected. Li Xiao's chair was heavy enough, and it still stood in place. But the few wooden chairs and a few wooden sofas have been floating and sinking in the water. On the other side, Xiaoshan and Xiao Hao, the demon, were happily fighting each other, giggling and making a mess. The old ghost was carrying an umbrella and a book in one hand, floating up and down the water, contented, shaking his head and reading with relish.
Above the ceiling, countless water droplets were condensing out of thin air at an astonishing speed, and then pouring down with a bang.
In the blink of an eye, Xiao Qiu, who was drenched in a soup chicken, looked blankly at the basement of a **, and muttered: "I, what are you stirring up?
