Capital.

The place where Yan Qilin and they got off happened to be an alley.

There are a lot of lights in the courtyard in the alley, the key is that they want to inquire about the news, and it is impossible to say that they directly knock on the door to inquire about the news.

A few people walked along the alley, trying to find a shop or something to see if they could inquire about the news.

Even if the nightlife in the capital is not as prosperous as in Lujiang County, there should always be bars open at night.

No, after walking for a while, the three of them saw a plaque with colorful lights on it that read the words "Hutong Tavern".

Taverns and bars, in the capital, are actually very different.

The bar is a place for young people to relax with music, while the pub is for some elderly people to spend their time in the tavern chatting and telling everyone what they know, and at the same time learning more from others.

The consumption of the tavern is relatively cheap, and generally those who like to drink two drinks here are people who dare to do heavy physical labor, and after doing the work, gather in the tavern, chat about the latest news, complain, and scold the boss, which can be regarded as relaxing.

In many cases, it is possible to get more information and clues from the tavern.

The eldest sister didn't know much about tavern culture, only knew that this was the only store that was open at the moment, so she simply strode forward and was the first to walk in.

Yan Qilin and Wang Xiaodao saw that the eldest sister went in like this, and they also hurriedly followed.

However, after taking a clear look at the environment in this tavern, the three of them also somewhat understood why there were no shops open all the way.

Even in the tavern, it was not the kind of noisy and noisy appearance, and the only few people sat around the table, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, full of sadness.

At this time, someone came into the tavern and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wang Xiaodao was wearing a Taoist robe, the eldest sister was carrying her shovel in her hand, Yan Qilin was carrying his own air conditioner, and he was carrying something that looked like a long knife wrapped in strips of cloth on his back.

Can you still bring out this thing with cold weapons?

The combination of these three people, no matter which way you look at it, is very strange.

In the end, the guest came to the door, and the boss took the initiative to greet him, showing a big smile, "A few guests, do you want to have a few drinks?" ”

When he said this, the boss deliberately glanced at Wang Xiaodao, this year, the Taoist priest should also drink, right?

"Let's do a dozen!"

Yan Qilin and Wang Xiaodao hadn't spoken yet, and the eldest sister spoke first, "By the way, when I say a dozen, I mean liquor!" ”

The boss is also a well-informed person, and he has never seen anyone come to ask for a dozen liquor, especially since the person who opened his mouth to ask for wine is still a woman.

For a moment, the boss forgot to react.

Wang Xiaodao reacted quickly, hurriedly covered the eldest sister's mouth, and looked at the boss apologetically, "I'm sorry, she was joking, just three beers!" ”

The eldest sister, who was suddenly covered in her mouth, was still very unconvinced, Wang Xiaodao almost dragged her over and sat down: "Grandma, we are here to inquire about the news, not to drink!" ”

I know that the eldest sister has always used liquor as a drink, but now they still have a task to do, and they can't be greedy.

was reminded by Wang Xiaodao like this, the eldest sister quieted down, and she also remembered her task.

Although the boss felt that Wang Xiaodao and the three of them were a little strange, he quickly relieved three glasses of beer.

Not in a hurry to drink, Wang Xiaodao looked at the few people sitting around, and asked curiously to the boss:

"Boss, it's still quite early, why don't you seem to have anyone in this tavern?"

Hearing Wang Xiaodao's words, the boss glanced up at him, and then said with a wry smile: "Man, you just came to the capital, right?" ”

Why did the boss know that he had just come to the capital?

No matter how you hear it, it's as if something has happened.

Wang Xiaodao nodded naturally: "We have just entered the capital, no, the first shop we saw that opened was the boss of your tavern!" ”

"Only people who have just come to the capital and don't know anything will ask this question."

While speaking, the boss had already walked back to the counter and sat down, "The capital has not been very calm recently, and you are not lucky to come to the capital at this time."

I would like to ask, are you here for tourism or visiting relatives and friends? ”

The boss looked at Wang Xiaodao and the three of them with inexplicable sympathy in their eyes, as if they had made a big mistake when they came to the capital at this time.

The eldest sister realized that the situation didn't seem to be quite right, and the boss said half of what she said and left half of it, obviously to arouse their curiosity.

"Boss, that, we're not here for a tour, we're going to the capital to find someone, do you know the Wang family?"

Seeing that the eldest sister asked the boss like this, Wang Xiaodao and Yan Qilin were a little speechless, they didn't think that the boss would know the person they were looking for.

"The Wang family? You Nizi, there are more people surnamed Wang in the capital, which Wang family are you talking about? ”

The boss laughed and thought that the eldest sister was funny.

"That Nizi, I know a Wang family, but I don't know if you said the Wang family!"

A middle-aged man sitting at the table next to him shouted, and several others laughed.

"I said Lao Litou, don't brag here.

That Wang family is not an ordinary family, and ordinary people almost don't know about that Wang family.

Nizi, the Wang family that Lao Li Tou said is an old family in the capital, a rich and noble family that is almost unknown to outsiders, if you want to find the Wang family, it shouldn't be this Wang family, right? ”

smiled and reprimanded the middle-aged man who answered just now, and the boss looked at the eldest sister and explained seriously.

Hearing this, the three of Wang Xiaodao glanced at each other, and they almost didn't think much about it to know that the Wang family where the king was located was the Wang family in the boss's mouth.

What is written on the information is true, even if the Wang family declines, it is relative.

"Hehe, boss, what did you just say that the capital is not very calm, what are you referring to?"

didn't continue to dwell on the affairs of the Wang family, just like the boss said, ordinary people don't know about the Wang family at all, Wang Xiaodao naturally changed the topic.

At the moment when Wang Xiaodao asked this question, there was a moment of silence in the entire tavern, as if a needle could be heard clearly when it fell on the ground.

The atmosphere of the tavern became inexplicably depressed, and the movements of the other guests who had been drinking stopped moving.

The boss didn't speak for the first time, but glanced at Wang Xiaodao deeply, and then let out a long sigh, he poured himself a glass of wine, and only after taking a sip did he speak in an extraordinarily heavy tone.

"When you are looking for someone in the capital, you always have to know.

Now that I've said it, you can be mentally prepared.

Recently, a lot of things have happened in the capital......"

When he said this, the boss also lowered his voice, as if he was puffing up something to say.

His voice was small, but the hearing of Wang Xiaodao and the three of them was extraordinary, so he could still hear it clearly.

"There was a serial murder case in the capital?"

Wang Xiaodao was a little incredulous.

He is a person who often surfs up, but he didn't know that such a big thing happened in the capital, and there was no news on the Internet.

Wang Xiaodao's exclamation was not small, and several other people looked over, but they obviously also pricked up their ears, waiting for the next development.

"As you know, the nightlife in the capital is very prosperous, and although the location of my tavern is in the alley, the business is never bad.

But now, in recent times, the business has simply plummeted, and all this started with the first murder a few months ago......"

The eldest sister was confused when she heard this, "No, boss, your business is not good, what does it have to do with the murder?"

Could it be that the murder happened in your store? ”

When she said this, the boss was about to jump up and beat someone.

"What are you talking nonsense about, of course the murder didn't happen in my store, otherwise wouldn't my little shop have been closed down a long time ago?"

It seems to recall bad things, and the boss looks bitter and hateful, "After the murder occurred, the Criminal Investigation Department began to investigate non-stop, but nothing was found out in this investigation."

Then, one thing after another happened.

Speaking of which, those who know about it say it's quite evil.

Most of the people who died were killed in the middle of the night on the road, just on the street of Dongzhimen.

It's been a long time, anyway, the Criminal Investigation Department has not given a result, the key is that the same murder is still happening.

Knowing this, who would dare to walk down the street in the middle of the night?

When no one goes out at night, the nightlife naturally stops, and my business will be affected. ”

The boss is worried that his business is half dead, but there is nothing he can do, after all, no one dares to joke with his life.

Wang Xiaodao and the others then understood why they felt very depressed after entering the capital, but it was not very depressed?

Everyone was afraid of being killed on the road at night, so naturally no one dared to go out.

"Boss, you have so much news, is there any news about who the murderer is?"

The eldest sister looked at the boss seriously, as if she could really get an answer from the boss.

The boss waved his hand with a embarrassed face: "How do I know who the murderer is, I am just an ordinary person, how can others know about things that no one in the Criminal Investigation Department can find?" ”

"But didn't you say it, boss, that this thing is a bit evil? Do you really not know any inside information? ”

looked at the boss reluctantly, the eldest sister was about to get an explanation from him.

"I said Nizi, don't embarrass the boss.

If you want me to say, this thing really can't be done by people! ”

The middle-aged man who was sitting in the corner drinking wine stood up, staggered to the table of the eldest sister and them with a wine glass, and was full of flowing wine between his words, and he looked like he had drunk too much.

The eldest sister, Wang Xiaodao, and Yan Qilin all looked at the big man, and they all said that they were drunk and spit out the truth, who dares to guarantee that what this big man said is not the truth?

Seeing this middle-aged man, the boss also seemed a little helpless, "Big money, what are you talking nonsense!" ”

"I, I'm not talking nonsense!"

yawned, the smell of wine came to his nose, and Daqian was still a little dissatisfied, "It's all spread outside now, it's the things in that well that have come out to kill people!" ”

Speaking with a big tongue, Da Qian's words were not so clear, and he slapped twice on the table.

With his brows jumping, the boss came out from behind the counter, pulled a lot of money, and apologized to Wang Xiaodao embarrassedly:

"Big Money is an old customer, and if he drinks too much, he will talk nonsense about some things that he doesn't have, and he can't do it really.

It's not too early, so let's find a hotel to rest first! ”

The boss obviously didn't want to say anything more about the big money, so he simply persuaded Wang Xiaodao and them.

The eldest sister just wanted to continue to ask, but Wang Xiaodao pulled her first and shook her head at the eldest sister.

Yan Qilin looked at Da Qian and glanced at Wang Xiaodao and the eldest sister.

The three of them knew that if they wanted to get more information, they had to break through from this big money, and they couldn't be in a hurry.

They simply stopped staying in the tavern anymore, and after settling the bill, they went out.

The boss who collected the money glanced at the undrunk beer on the table and muttered, "It's really fun to come to the tavern without drinking!" ”

"Boss, if they don't drink this wine, just give it to me?"

Da Qian happened to be standing in front of the table, and he also saw the wine he hadn't drunk, and said with a grin at the boss.

"Drink, drink, drink you, sooner or later!"

waved his hand angrily, and the boss didn't bother to bother with big money.

Satisfied, he drank three glasses of wine in a row, and Daqian was also comfortable, "Boss, keep the account!" ”

With that, he staggered out of the tavern.

The boss doesn't care much about the big money, they are all regular customers, and there will be no repayment or anything.

The big money that walked out of the tavern, in the end, drank too much, and walked not very steadily, but I vaguely remembered the way home, so I walked in the alley like this.

In the drunken haze, Da Qian seemed to see that not far away, there were three people standing.

The light in the alley was not very good, and Da Qian's sight was not very dripping, the three figures were motionless, and their intuition made Da Qian stop, and when the cold wind blew, most of the wine woke up, and when he looked at it again, he couldn't help but shiver.

He seemed to have something in mind.

The body was stiff, the heart was beating fast as if it was about to pop out of his mouth, and Daqian wanted to escape but couldn't move, so he could only watch the three figures get closer and closer.

As the distance got closer, Da Qian's line of sight could also be seen clearly, and these three figures were clearly the three young people who left the tavern first just now.

Panting heavily, Big Money felt that his body was weak.

"You three babies, don't you go to find a place to rest, and stand here in the middle of the night, are you going to scare people to death?" (End of chapter)
