Chapter 42 Investigation
"Say, you go on, I'm listening." Su Heng stared at the little girl in front of him expressionlessly, and there was a faint fierce light in his deep pupils, "Do you want me to go back and help?" ”
"No, no."
The little girl stammered, and then ran away from Su Heng in a panic.
Su Heng watched the little girl disappear around the corner of the street.
Only then did he turn around and sigh at Su Ping: "In these years, children will also be damaged by some well-intentioned people." It's better to stay away from them in the future. ”
At this time.
Su Ping naturally also noticed that the little girl's reaction seemed to be something wrong.
She stood in front of Su Heng, rubbing the corners of her clothes with her fingers as if she had done something wrong, looking a little at a loss.
Su Heng stretched out his hand and rubbed Su Ping's head.
Only then did he smile and said, "Is there any breakfast left, I'm hungry and want to eat something." ”
"I steamed steamed buns for you, and the fried pork with yam left over from last night." Su Ping nodded again and again, returning to his old rhythm of life.
She seemed to quickly let go of what had just happened.
Walking quickly into the kitchen, soon the sound of cooking and stir-frying could be heard in the kitchen.
……
Had breakfast.
Su Heng came to the outside of a courtyard near Nanqiao Street.
Knock on the door.
Quietly stand outside and wait.
Soon, a member of the Qingcheng gang dressed in a black short fight pushed the gate open. He had a slightly impatient expression on his face, but after seeing Su Heng's face.
That expression disappeared in an instant, replaced by a slightly flattering smile.
"Pharmacist Su, do you have any explanation for coming here? As long as we can do it, we will definitely get it for you. ”
The man in front of him is named Zhu You.
is responsible for collecting money on Nanqiao Street, similar to Xu Biao who died in the hands of Su Heng.
However, Zhu You is a genuine blood refining martial artist, and his status and strength are far from being comparable to Xu Biao at the beginning.
"I'm here to inquire with you about something." Su Heng frowned slightly, and while recalling, he briefly described the appearance of the little girl just now to Zhu You.
"Little girl..."
Zhu You's face changed slightly, and he hurriedly spoke: "Pharmacist Su, do you have to be careful in this situation?" ”
"How?" Su Heng clasped his hands in front of his chest, and the expression on his face became a little dangerous.
"I can't be sure, but according to my guess, the girl you mentioned is very likely to be a member of the gang." Zhu You explained seriously: "Recently, the gang of thieves has been rampant in the city. ”
"Whenever a young woman walks outside and is seen by them, even if someone is around, she will be taken away."
"So much so that now everyone on the streets outside is in danger, and few girls dare to go out. But those people in the thief gang still don't die of thieves, and they can't rob by force, so they use deception.
Use acquaintances to trick those women out, and then look for an opportunity to do it. ”
Seeing Su Heng nodded slightly.
Zhu You continued to speak: "Those thieves are extremely vicious. Those women from good families fell into their hands, and they were either sold to Qinglou or to some tooth mouth in the outer city. Once the population of Deling County is missing, it will be extremely difficult to find it again. ”
"Do they dare to do anything on our Qingcheng Gang's territory?" Su Heng asked.
"I think it's weird too."
Zhu You looked puzzled, scratched his ears and cheeks, and said: "Although the bandit gang is rampant, in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a gang that does not enter the stream, and usually it would never dare to provoke our Qingcheng Gang. ”
"Do you want me to bring someone to bang and beat those guys?" Zhu You took the initiative to ask.
"Then you don't have to."
Su Heng shook his head and rejected Zhu You's kindness.
The news he got from Zhu You almost made Su Heng sure that there was probably another mastermind behind this matter.
Otherwise.
Those people from the Thieves Gang would never take such a huge risk to come to the territory of the Qingcheng Gang to do something.
Say goodbye to Zhu You and leave this small courtyard.
Su Heng was afraid of startling the snake.
didn't rashly choose to do it, just kept an eye on it in the dark, silently investigating this matter.
Finally.
A few days have passed.
That night, Su Heng finally found an opportunity and made a decisive move.
……
In July, the season of flowing fire, the moon is dark and the wind is high.
It had just rained a little this afternoon, and the empty streets were filled with a smell of rotting and stinking water.
Two emaciated figures were walking along the road one after the other.
As they walked, the two men kept their voices low and whispered, as if they were discussing something important.
Both men are women.
The person in front of him had a white turban tied to his head, and he looked like he was in his forties, and his face was gloomy, giving people a feeling that he was not getting along with.
Its limbs are elongated, and its palms are thin like eagle's talons.
The five fingers were somewhat unnaturally curled inward, and the nails were black, as if they had practiced some kind of ruthless claw skills, and they had good martial arts.
The other person in the back is a young yellow-faced woman in her twenties.
She was babbling something with a respectful look on her face. This person's name is Xu Dacong, and he is a young female worker who often went out with Su Ping to pick up work before.
"That Su Ping is really ruthless and unrighteous.
My sister Xiao Cong begged her hard at the door, but she just refused to come out, and her friendship for more than ten years was in vain. ”
As Xu Dacong spoke, he sighed incessantly, his tone full of pity.
But as he spoke, he said.
Xu Dacong sensed that something was not right.
There was a click in my ears, like the sound of a child breaking dead wood.
A gust of cold wind blew, and the white clothes of the gloomy woman in front of her were raised, but her body stood in place in a daze, no longer moving.
"Altar master? Altar Master? ”
Xu Dacong raised his head tremblingly and looked at the woman in front of him.
She stood behind the woman in white, and when she looked up, she saw that the woman's bloody face had twisted backwards one hundred and eighty degrees under some tremendous force. The long tongue drooped out of her mouth uncontrollably, and her hollow eyes were staring at her.
Hiss!
In a flash.
Xu Dacong felt a chill and rushed up his spine to the heavenly spirit.
Her mind went blank, almost instinctively, and she turned to escape from this damn place.
Bang!
Xu Dacong, who was in a panic, crashed into an iron wall.
She collapsed to the ground, rubbing her head and looking up. Only then did he realize that what appeared in front of him was not a wall, but a tall and muscular figure.
He was dressed in black, with a hat on his head, and his face was covered by a ghost mask.
But Xu Dacong immediately recognized the identity of the comer, knelt on the ground, and kowtowed again and again: "Ah Heng, for your sister's sake, surround my life." ”
