Chapter 39: The Gambling House
Pei You's subordinates were around the courtyard, secretly staring at Lu Liulang and the bookstore shopkeeper, waiting for them to get in touch with the people of the Divine Palace.
However, Na Cheng thought that in the middle of the night, there was a movement in the house, as if someone was fighting.
The people who were watching each other glanced at each other, relieved but still thought of going forward to check it out.
However, before they could get closer, they heard the movement and stopped, and then the dark room was lit, and someone lit the lamp.
They waited for a few breaths, and silently lifted the roof tiles to look in, and saw that Narokuro was standing in front of the table with an oil lamp, and his body was disheveled.
Not far from his bed, there was a corpse horizontally, a sharp dagger thrust into his chest, blood gushing out, already soaking most of his body.
It's the bookseller.
His eyes widened at this point, and he had already lost his breath.
The person who is watching him, he doesn't know what to do now.
Who would have thought that these two people, who were originally hiding from each other together, would actually kill each other?
They had to hurriedly send someone to give Pei You, and Pei You was not long out of the He Mansion at this time, and when he got the news, he immediately turned back to inform He Lingjiang.
After He Lingjiang heard this, he couldn't help but be silent, and said for a long time: "What kind of play is this?" Murder or murder? ”
Pei You was also silent: "This is going to ask Lu Liulang...... So far, do you take people directly, or continue to stare at Lu Liulang? ”
He Lingjiang also had a headache now, so let's take someone directly, not to mention that the clue was broken, and he also folded into a bookstore. But if you continue to stare at it, I don't know if Lu Liulang will be able to contact the Divine Palace.
"Otherwise, let's go and see for ourselves?" He Ling Jiang said.
What happened to Lu Liulang, they didn't know, and it was not easy to make a decision at this time.
Pei You nodded, and waited for her to return to the inner room to change into her nocturnal clothes, and the two took advantage of the night to sweep to the west of the city.
At this time, Lu Liulang had already wrapped the body of the bookstore shopkeeper and threw it into a corner of the house. He leaned under the lamp to see what had been found on him.
According to the shopkeeper's words, he sent the news out yesterday, but the people from the Divine Palace never replied.
But is that really the case?
He glanced coldly at the corpse lying in the corner, and sneered in his heart, afraid that he didn't want to tell him even though he had news, or that there was no news at all, everything was caused by him, right?
Lu Liulang couldn't tell how he felt at the moment, was it anger after being used, or was he at a loss for what to do?
There seem to be some, and there seems to be none.
He sat quietly under the lamp, rummaging through what he had found.
A token of the shrine, a string of copper coins, a few flying coupons, and a peculiarly shaped dice, which were originally six-sided, were actually made into seven sides, and there was a little on each side, just like the stars.
He held the dice to his fingertips and turned them slightly under the lamp, his eyes narrowing slightly.
Dice...... Gambling ......
Seven-sided ...... Starlight ......
Seven Star Casino?
He remembered that he once did an errand for Lu Zhengjian and happened to be in a dark alley in the middle of Yingdu, who expected that in the alley, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a figure who hurried away, which was very similar to the bookstore shopkeeper.
At that time, he was busy with errands, and he didn't see it too clearly, so he didn't take this matter to heart.
But now looking at the dice in his hand, he suddenly felt that the figure was most likely the bookstore shopkeeper.
In that dark alley, there is a gambling house, called Seven Star Gambling House.
Lu Liulang folded his five fingers and squeezed the dice into his palm.
That gambling house, but there are people from the Divine Palace?
Among the Yingdu, the person in charge of the Divine Palace who contacted him was only the shopkeeper of this bookstore. However, he knew that it was impossible to have a point of contact in this huge Yingdu.
He Ling Jiang lay on the roof, watching Lu Liulang's every move, and when he turned off the lights and went to bed, he and Pei You left the courtyard, and the rest of the people continued to stare here.
He Lingjiang stopped in the corner of the street and asked Pei You, "What do you think?" ”
"Lu Liulang stared at the dice for a long time, looking at it and there seemed to be some information on it......" Pei You frowned, "I just don't know what it is......"
He Lingjiang nodded: "The shopkeeper of the bookstore is dead, although I don't know why Lu Liulang wanted to kill him, but they have been hiding here for two days, and it is not a way to stay any longer." Looking at the way he looked just now, I thought it was time to make a move. ”
"Shall we wait a little longer?" Pei You said, "I'll keep an eye here, you go back and rest first." ”
He Lingjiang shook his head and looked at the sky: "In a short time, the sky will be bright." Lu Liulang killed someone, sooner or later he will not be able to sit still, in this case, how about we add more fire? ”
Pei You couldn't help but raise his eyebrows: "You mean, to attract the people of Wu Desi?" ”
Wu Desi is now searching everywhere for the whereabouts of Lu Liulang and the bookstore shopkeeper, as long as they pass through some news, Wu Desi's people rush up, and Lu Liulang here will inevitably flee after hearing the news.
At this time, he was like a lost dog, and he must be looking for a place that could give him shelter.
"What do you think?" He Lingjiang asked.
Pei You thought for a while: "There is no other way at this time, if Lu Liulang knows about the other strongholds of the Divine Palace, he will definitely go in a hurry." If you don't know, it's useless to stare at him again, so you might as well just arrest him. ”
"So be it." He Lingjiang made the final decision.
The day is getting brighter, the smoke of the people in the alley is beginning to rise, and the alley that has been sleeping all night is gradually waking up.
Lu Liulang sat alone in the room, looking at the corpse wrapped in the corner of the wall, unable to make up his mind.
At this moment, however, something seemed to break the alley in the early morning.
The barking of dogs, the screaming and shouting came from afar, getting louder and louder, this should not be the daily routine in the early morning of the alley.
It's the people of Wu Desi!
Lu Liulang suddenly became alert, quickly gathered the things on the table into his arms, and then walked out of the room.
He didn't go to the front door, but went around to the wall behind the house, and when he saw that there was no one on the left and right, he climbed over the wall with a slight point under his feet.
Although he has a lameness, he is actually familiar with some martial arts, but he has been hiding this from others.
Otherwise, the bookstore shopkeeper would not have died because he underestimated him.
This is a secluded place in the alley, and He Lingjiang and the others, who fell behind him not far away, watched him go around to the end of the alley, and when his feet were on the wall of the alley, he turned over again and went to another alley.
He Lingjiang sighed in his heart, ho! This Lu Liulang has martial arts, but it's not bad!
Lu Liulang stood at the entrance of the alley and hesitated for a moment, and finally gritted his teeth and walked towards the dark alley.
I don't know how many times he went around, He Lingjiang saw him stop in front of a gambling house, paused for a moment and then stepped in.
Seven Star Casino.
He Lingjiang looked at the few words on the signboard from a distance and secretly squinted his eyes.
