Chapter 0071 - Superior Skills
The raging flames burned unscrupulously, completely engulfing the entire Luokou town, and the thick smoke rising into the sky choked people's eyes, and the tip of the nose could smell the irritating burning smell. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Zhao Bufan stood outside the town in a daze, the firelight reflected on his face, as if he had no expression, but the anger in his eyes was no weaker than the fire in front of him. He clenched his fists, and his heart was crazy with hatred: "What a ruthless method, a whole town, so many ordinary people, all burned in one fire!!"
He was not the only one who was angry, but there were many people who escaped by luck next to him, and there were also people from the rivers and lakes who came in a hurry.
This fire burned so terrible, it was not a natural fire at all, from the people who were lucky enough to escape, it can be seen that the fire spread rapidly in just half an hour, and it spread from outside the town to the inside of the town, it was a fire around the whole town at the same time, and even used fierce fire oil, so that the fire could not be controlled at all.
The arsonists had apparently planned to burn the whole town, preferably everybody, to death, and the result was that they succeeded, and most of them were drowned in the merciless flames, except for a few of the common people and the charlatans who were able to escape from the fire in the first place.
Yang Zhi and Wu Song were stunned, Wu Song was in a hurry, grabbed the swordsman who escaped death next to him, and asked fiercely: "Can you see who set the fire? How can such a big fire be done if there are no 180 people?"
The swordsman was shocked, and his voice was still a little trembling: "It's the people of the Imperial City Division, those people are all wearing the clothes of the Imperial City Division, they first set fire to the east and west of the town, and then a group of people entered the town, taking advantage of the night, while spraying fierce fire oil on the bluestone streets, while retreating to the north, if we stop it, some of them are still responsible for killing people directly, until they exit, the entire Luokou Town will be surrounded by fire, it is too miserable, many people are burned to death!"
Such news spread rapidly, and the Imperial City Division carried the black cauldron and became the initiator of this fire, and the survivors were all frantically shouting to kill all the people of the Imperial City Division.
Zhao Bufan knew in his heart that Zhu Bocai and Zhu Lian would never be able to do such a thing, but now everyone was almost crazy, and any explanation was meaningless.
After a while, someone in the crowd suddenly took the lead and shouted: "The boat of the Imperial City Division is moored on the river, everyone will kill it together and fight with them!"
"Yes!!!Kill Zhu Bocai and avenge the dead brothers!"
"Kill, kill Zhu Bocai!"
The public was all red-eyed, even the lucky remnants of the people were crazy, with Fang La and Tian Hu taking the lead, everyone killed to the ferry, using the fishing boats piled up there, rushing to the surface of the Yellow River in batches, everyone went crazy, and they all went to the people of the Imperial City Division to fight hard.
Zhao Bufan grabbed Wu Song and Yang Zhi, who wanted to rush up, and watched the dense flow of people rushing to the river beach, and said bitterly: "Second Brother Wu, Brother Yang, the Imperial City Division has been framed, don't go, I know Zhu Bocai, he is not this kind of person, he was framed, and the real murderer is the fake Zhu Bocai we saw on the river beach earlier!"
"Then Zhu Bocai is fake?" Wu Song, whose eyes were bloodshot, gradually calmed down.
"I'm sure he's fake, they're blaming Zhu Bocai!" Zhao Bufan said very surely.
Yang Zhi gritted his teeth: "Then what should we do now?"
Zhao Bufan sighed helplessly: "It is not easy for those people to attack the warship of the Imperial City Division, it must be a vicious battle, let's wait first, and strive to save Zhu Bocai at a critical moment!"
"My dad doesn't need you to save me!" Zhu Lian's beautiful voice suddenly sounded.
Zhao Bufan looked back in amazement, but saw that the grass in the distance suddenly moved, and the two people lifted the turf and drilled out of the ground, it was Zhu Bocai and Zhu Lian.
Wu Song and Yang Zhi didn't know the situation, so they instantly pulled out their swords and unsheathed them, protecting Zhao Bufan behind them.
Zhu Bocai smiled faintly and walked over calmly.
"Zhao Bufan, if Lian'er hadn't told me the day before yesterday, I really didn't expect the masked man to be you!"
"I came here for a purpose, so naturally it's not good to show up, and I hope that my father-in-law will forgive me!" Zhao Bufan stepped forward with a smile and respectfully clasped his fists.
Zhu Bocai's eyes lit up: "Are you willing to marry Lian'er?"
"Isn't this because there is no dowry, so you plan to ask Tong Guan's gang to ask for it?" Zhao Bufan replied with a smile.
Zhu Bocai smiled: "If you really have the courage, three people dare to come here to stir up the situation!"
"It's not about having a lot of people, it's about finding the right direction, and it's not necessarily useful if there are many people in this trip!"
"And what did you achieve?"
"If my father-in-law and Lian'er are in danger, then I can only give up 300,000 guan, but since my father-in-law is not in danger for the time being, then 300,000 guan will be my share!"
Zhu Bocai showed a rare look of joy: "You have found the Birth Gang?"
Although Zhu Lian was silent and stared at Zhao Bufan from beginning to end, he couldn't help but show curiosity at this moment.
Zhao Bufan smiled and nodded to Zhu Lian, seeing that the other party turned his head abruptly, he smiled awkwardly, and then continued: "No, I didn't find the Birth Gang, but the other party did a very stupid thing in order to murder the father-in-law, that is, the Shengchen Gang has not been shipped away, but he pretended to kill people indiscriminately, exposed himself, and made the situation clear, so it will be easy to find the Shengchengang next." Especially tonight's chaotic situation, it is a good time to transport away the Birth Gang, they will inevitably fish in troubled waters, let's just take the waterway ahead and wait. ”
Zhu Bocai was very amazed by these words, and said with emotion: "From your words, I feel that your growth is very fast, so fast that it is surprising, it has only been a short time, but you think things are obviously mature, especially if you can find out that this bureau is that they want to kill me, and find that someone is pretending to be doing things for me, which makes me very surprised!"
"My father-in-law won the award, and it all depends on some coincidences!" Zhao Bufan said politely.
"Serendipity is a clue, if you don't look for it seriously, then you won't find it, let alone encounter a clue, this is where the ability lies!" Zhu Bocai stared at Zhao Bufan appreciatively, looking particularly happy. "Still, you owe some heat, and there is something negligent!"
"Where is the negligence?" Zhao Bufan frowned.
Zhu Bocai looked at him, didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "Can you confirm that someone is pretending to be me, which means that you must carefully investigate the area around the river beach, am I right?"
"Yes!" Zhao Bufan nodded.
"If you investigate the area around the river beach, you should know about the death of Erhuazi at the East Gate Inn, right?"
"Yes!"
"But you still don't know where the birth tsunade is, which means that you didn't go to the scene of death the day after Erhanako's death! Why don't you go once during the day and again at night? Why don't you compare several places carefully? Why don't you calculate how many feet the place of death is from the town?" asked Zhu Bo material.
Zhao Bufan thought that he was talking about where he was hiding before Shengchengang, and immediately replied with a smile: "I have already figured out that Shengchengang hid in the area where Erhuazi died earlier. ”
Zhu Bocai smiled and shook his head: "This is where you were negligent, what is it before, and now it is hidden there, and it has never been moved!"
"What, still there?" Zhao Bufan was instantly shocked.
Yang Zhi next to him hurriedly said: "Impossible, we fished up all the ropes earlier, but we didn't see anything!"
Zhu Bocai smiled: "When you were on the river beach before, I hid in the river, to be precise, we were there first, then the group of people who pretended to be me came, then you came, then Fang Lalai, and finally Tian Hu came, Lian'er and I have been hiding in the water in the distance." I've seen with my own eyes what you're doing there, and although the way you found out was right, you're in the wrong place, and that's not where Erkako died at all!"
"We've confirmed it again and again, how could we be mistaken?" Wu Song asked suspiciously.
"The night that Erhuazi died on the river beach quickly happened, many people ran there, in a few days in a row, how did they avoid the eyes and ears of others? They couldn't avoid it, so they faked the exact same scene, and then misled everyone to go to the wrong scene, but destroyed all the original scene, so that everyone didn't feel anything wrong when they passed by there, and the truth of the fact is that the scene was dozens of feet away from the scene of the forgery. ”
Zhu Bocai said while looking directly at Zhao Bufan.
"Your biggest mistake is that you trust your eyes too much, and in fact, what you should believe is the evidence, you have obviously caught the clues, but you have not investigated to the end, but vaguely checked east and west, and the result is that you have a wrong judgment. Why don't you want to think about why those catchers from the county died one after another? Why did they die so quickly in one day? They didn't have the responsibility to investigate the birth of the company, they were only responsible for investigating the death of Fukako, why were they murdered?"
Zhao Bufan suddenly realized: "Because they are focused on investigating Erhuazi's death, it is easier to detect that the scene has been changed!"
"Yes, they found out what was wrong, so they were killed immediately. After Zhu Bocai finished speaking, he questioned again: "In addition, the owner of the East Gate Inn's family is missing, I obviously saw you three masked people going to investigate their yard that night, I didn't know you were Zhao Bufan at that time, and even suspected that you were also accomplices, until Lian'er told your identity, I didn't know who you were, but now I think about it, since you are going to investigate, why did you only check once?
"I didn't find a clue the night before, so I was worried about wasting time, so I didn't go back the next night!" Zhao Bufan said matter-of-factly.
"The Erhuazi and the shopkeepers of the East Gate Inn have all had an accident, but the West Gate Inn has not, no matter why, there is always a reason, if you have more doubts, more thoughts, and more delicate thinking, and then go again, you will find that the position of the tree in their garden is different, and have you ever seen a tree that moves?"
"There's a problem under the garden!" Zhao Bufan exclaimed.
"Now that you figured it out, if you had found out at that time, you would have taken so many detours, and you would have almost fallen into danger? If it hadn't been for the other party's stupid burning of Luokou Town, I wouldn't have known how to save you in the river at the time! If you had found the moving tree earlier, then you would have known that there was a secret passage under the garden that led to the place where Erhuazi died, and you would have found that the Shengchengang had been transferred from the East Gate Inn and hid in the water!" Zhu Bocai seemed to have the intention to point out Zhao Bufan, and his tone was slightly reproachful.
"But how did Shengchengang get into the East Gate Inn?" Zhao Bufan was even more puzzled.
"Very simply, they bought meat, because many people from the rivers and lakes gathered, and the business of the Dongmen Inn was good, so they hid their belongings in the stomachs of dead pigs and dead cows, and sent a batch every day until they were finished, and they did not hide their wealth in the inn, but transferred it through the secret passage of the garden in time and secretly sent it to the river beach.
This is what I found out on the night of Furako's death, when I went to the kitchen of the East Gate Inn overnight to take a peek. If you've ever looked at it at the time, you'd have wondered why so many dead pigs were stored, and what inn wouldn't know how much it consumed every day? Who did it? Aren't you afraid that the pork will spoil after a long time? Because of this doubt, I carefully examined all the pork, and found a small piece of gold stuck in the pork bones!"
Speaking of this in one breath, Zhu Bocai smiled slightly: "Zhao Bufan, you have made progress this time than before, but you have to learn one thing in the future, that is, to be meticulous!"
