Chapter 660: The First Day
Chongbaihu took Li Mu to visit the Ning family, because the Ning family's Ning mockery and Ala Buti had some similarities between the deaths of the two. That is, both died in a locked room from the inside, and outside the room, there were handles. In this case, they each died quietly in the room.
Odd, both of these murders are weird. Chongbaihu thought about finding out the murderer of Ala Buti through Ning Wei's death. It's a pity that the Ning family didn't give face to the two, and the two went to the door and ate a closed door.
"My lord doesn't have time to see you now. Ning Long, the steward of the Ning family, politely refused, "I hope you two will forgive me." ”
"Well, okay. Please also say hello to Master Ning. Chongbaihu didn't embarrass Ning Long, in fact, the relationship between Ning Long and Chongbaihu is also good, and the two have a good friendship in private.
Chong Baihu looked left and right, pulled Ning Long over, lowered his voice and said, "Brother Ning, there is actually something, it may be more appropriate to look for you." "Being able to be the steward of the Ning family, Ning Long is not an ordinary person. He shook his head and said, "Brother Chong, I know what you want to ask, but the matter of the young master is already a taboo in the Ning family. If I talk about it, I will be punished by the master. ”
"Now we are suffering the same thing, and this is not only our trouble, but also the trouble of Dongchu City. We can only solve it if we find the murderer. Moreover, don't you want to help Master Ning find out the murderer?"
Ning Long shook his head, "I believe that what we know, you should also know. ”
Chong Baihu also shook his head, "We don't know about the details. Something that only your Ning family has. For example, the retainer of the Chu family, Bo Huaxiu. His confession should be in your hands alone. ”
"You want this?" Ning Long sank his face. Chongbaihu said: "There is no way, five days later, the grassland people will come to the door to take revenge, if you don't give an explanation, I'm afraid it will be a little troublesome." ”
"Trouble, what trouble?" Ning Pass's voice suddenly came from inside the door, and it was time for him to go down to the first floor to inspect. Seeing him come out, Chongbaihu saluted very respectfully, but Ning Ai took the initiative to say hello to Li Mu. Li Mu looked up and saw that the original two maids beside him had been replaced by charming. Mei Mei lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and glanced at Li Mu carefully.
Ning Kui listened to Chongbaihu's intention and waved his hand. "Ah Long, you go and copy a copy of the confession to Chongbaihu, Dongchu City is a family, and if Baifang causes trouble, our Ning family will also be in trouble. Ning Long hesitated for a moment, but still went.
Ning Kui accompanied Chongbaihu and Li Mu to chat outside the door, of course, this face was mainly for Li Mu. Li Mu ignored Shen Li's dissuasion and gave Mei Mei to Ning Ai. Ning Ai also inherited Li Mu's love in his heart. Li Mu and Ning Ai exchanged a few words, and soon Ning Long came back. As he wished, he got Bo Huaxiu's confession, and Chongbaihu and Li Mu turned back.
Regarding Ning Wei's death, Li Mu also learned some details from Chongbai Hu's mouth. A closed room, guarded outside, and the people inside died silently. This is an unsolved case, and Li Mu is not a member of the Criminal Department, and he is not very good at detectives and the like. So I don't have much of a clue either. To be honest, Li Mu didn't care at all about who killed Ning Wei. All he has done so far has been to make the situation more confusing.
If you want to control East Chu City, unless you are strong enough to take over everything up and down East Chu City. Otherwise, no matter how high your force is, you will kill corpses all over the field, and you don't have enough people to control it, it will be in vain. Moreover, those who are inside the city must obey, and those who are outside the city must believe. This is not something that can be easily solved by just killing them all.
Just like that mysterious man, although he is powerful, he also wisely chose to be equal to the three families, rather than one of them. Even after he became the fourth, he didn't even interfere in the mundane affairs of Eastern Chu City.
The three families have already taken root and sprouted in Dongchu City for so many years, and it is certainly happy to burn it, but if the grass is not removed, it will leave endless disasters. Instead of forcibly collecting, it is better to let them have a hand first.
As for Li Mu, what he wants to do is to be above the mysterious man. He had already done it once in Yacheng, moving from the Da Kun Gang and the Snake Gang, destroying the Green Claw Gang, taking advantage of the loss of power in the North and South Gangs, and establishing the Nine Song Gang, which jumped to the Yacheng Big Gang in one fell swoop. It's a pity that before he reached the last step, he had to withdraw from Yacheng. This time, in East Chu City, he was going to the highest place.
Now that this confession is in hand, it actually doesn't help much. Because of this confession, Bo Huaxiu has been emphasizing that he has no problem. "I don't think I found anything. After reading the full text, Li Mu sighed, "Is the Ning family still hiding something?"
"There is no need, no one wants to catch the murderer more than the Ning family. Chongbaihu shook his head, "What do you think?"
Li Mu smiled: "Lord Chong thinks too highly of me. I don't have a clue. I wonder if Lord Chong has found anything?" Chongbai Hu Gu said to him, "Within five days, I will give an explanation to the grassland people." ”
"I have to find a scapegoat. Li Mu said his thoughts casually. Chong Baihu shook his head and said, "This is no way, it is the last step." Those steppe people are not so easy to fool. ”
"Actually, I have always had a question, I wonder if Master Chong can solve my doubts?" Li Mu asked.
Chongbaihu said: "Li Xianfeng, please ask." ”
"The grassland people shouldn't be able to capture Dongchu City, right?, why is Lord Baifang so anxious to give an explanation to the grassland people?" Li Mu was very puzzled.
"Hmm, why do you think so?" Chongbai Hu scoffed, "The grassland people can't attack the Eastern Chu City, but they can blockade the Eastern Chu City with cavalry, once the grassland people block the plain... I don't need to say more about the rest, right?"
Li Mu showed a look of understanding, but in fact, this question was asked by Li Mu knowingly, and Chongbaihu also answered the question. What Li Mu wanted to figure out was that whether it was the White Fang, the Ning family, the Chu family, or the mysterious person, the four forces seemed to want to join forces to do one thing. Li Mu sent Bei Miao to investigate this matter, but he couldn't find any news, it seemed that only the middle and high-level of the four families knew.
Li Mu could only rely on his own words, intentionally or unintentionally, to spy and try to extract some information from Chongbaihu. However, Chongbai Hu's mouth was also very tight, and his answer was that the grassland people would block the plains.
Although the grassland people will block the plains, in Li Mu's opinion, it is troublesome, but it is not too troublesome. Because in the south of East Chu City, there is also a sea cave, where there is a group of bandits. According to Nie Yinniang of the Red Shark Gang, coupled with what Li Mu saw and heard in East Chu City, the combination of the two shows that East Chu City and the Red Shark Gang have common interests. East Chu City is the most stable source of supplies for the Red Shark Gang, and if the grassland people want to deal with East Chu City, it will threaten the Red Shark Gang. There is a workaround for this.
