After leaving the alley where Scar was, Li Chong hesitated and was about to say something, but he heard Captain Su smile and say: Agent Li, I don't know where there is authentic Yangxia food. Let's go have a drink and discuss the case.
This statement was exactly what Li Chong meant, and a smile broke out on his already wrinkled face: "Xiao Su, you've asked the right person. No one in the yamen knows more about Yangxia delicacies than Beizhi. Lanjie Fish and Sheep" The fresh fish yoghurt is a must-have, the roasted lamb leg and the boiled fish fillets are all fragrant.
While the two were talking, they turned to Lan Street and found Yuyangxian. It was a small shop with a shabby appearance, but the business was surprisingly good. Even if it was not a meal, it was almost full of people.
In comparison, the Zuiyangxia Restaurant opposite it is magnificent, with a large courtyard behind it, and the sound of strings and bamboos coming from time to time. It looks like a high-end place, but at the moment there are only a few guests, and the waiter is listless.
Xiao Su catches the head, even though the fish and sheep are inconspicuous, most wealthy people who spend a lot of money in Zuiyangxia will secretly send servants here to pack delicious food, unwilling to lose their dignity, and do not want to be wronged. Li Chong was worthy of being a local coward among the gangsters, and he was very familiar with the owner of Yu Yang Xian. Needless to say, he was assigned the only empty table, and the food and drinks were served very quickly.
Meng Qi took a bite of the fish yoghurt, and felt that the delicious taste spread from his mouth to his stomach, to his belly, to his head, and to his soul. It was indescribably delicious.
Meng Qi was so moved by the delicious food that his eyes filled with tears, and he started to devour it.
After several glasses of strong wine, Li Chong gradually let go of his restraints: "Xiao Su is the head hunter, what's your plan next?"
I don’t know what your opinion is, Agent Li. Meng Qi didn’t answer the question.
After drinking, Li Chong became more courageous. He waved his hand and said: "It's a good thing for Xiao Su to respect his elders, but there is no need to be so reserved between us. Just call me Lao Li."
Meng Qi nodded, picked up the wine, and toasted him: "Then I'd rather obey his orders than respect him."
He drank a glass of strong wine in one gulp. Li Man clicked his lower lip with satisfaction and lowered his voice: "Old Zhong is not a simple person."
At this point, he patted his thigh and made a crisp sound: I've long said that this is evil, hey, I didn't expect Lao Zhong
He is a weird person. Meng Qi asked without being drunk.
Li Chong lowered his voice again: Lao Zhong's origin is unknown. He arrived in Yangxia twenty or thirty years ago. He lives near Yizhuang outside the city and has been living in seclusion. Think about it, such a gloomy place as Yizhuang is so scary at night. Some people have even heard ghosts crying. But he has lived there for more than 20 years, and he has become a gloomy and shriveled old man. This is not evil.
A few years ago, there was a gangster who passed by Yangxia and stole into Lao Zhongtou's house. Guess what, he is crazy, a completely crazy master, he peed his pants, cried like his own father and mother were dead, and he was so focused on surrendering that no one could stop him.
Then when this gangster died, Meng Qi's heart moved. He looked like he had a mental breakdown.
Yes, he will be sent to jail before he can be interrogated. He strangled himself to death. Li Chong drank a glass of strong wine to calm down his shock. Before, he found that Capt. Cai's internal organs were rotten, as if he had been dead for half a year, but his appearance was normal and he could move freely. I should have thought of Lao Zhong.
He must live near Yizhuang. Not good at corpse path, ghost and martial arts
That makes sense. Meng Qi himself also made this judgment.
Li Chong sighed, put down his wine glass, and said solemnly: So, Chief Su, if we want to investigate Lao Zhong, we must organize the rules carefully.
It's best not to go by yourself
Lao Li, our heroes see the same thing. Meng Qi said with a smile. Think about it, Scar Yan Xiao is such a powerful person, he opens nine orifices and dominates Yang Xia. He even thinks that the old clock is scary. How can the old clock not be scary? It is impossible to say that it has opened the gateway of life and death and built the bridge between heaven and earth. It has even been exchanged internally and externally. It is extraordinary. How can we rashly provoke
Li Chong suddenly burst into tears: This is the reason
Captor Xiao Su is indeed a smart man. He is not arrogant at all, nor does he make fun of his own life or that of his subordinates.
If we were to investigate alone, the matter would have to be terminated at this point, but as we are public servants with great righteousness, we naturally reported to the governor and invited famous figures and hidden experts in the city to jointly investigate Lao Zhong. Why should we go to Meng Qi ourselves? We are not fools. There are six doors that can be used, so we have to go and take the risk ourselves.
When he was in Yicheng, Huang Zhiqing, the governor at the time, summoned powerful men from several families to besiege the evil god.
As for whether he could get Lao Zhong to cooperate with the explanation, Meng Qi didn't care too much. If he could figure out the whole story and have some adventures, it would be great. If not, he could just go to Maoling directly on the pretext that the clues here have been cut off and have a meeting. Meet the heroes of Jiangdong and see the invisible sword and the grace of all the people.
I'm such a responsible person
Li Chong was stunned when he heard this and immediately gave a thumbs up: This is the right way and we should report it to Governor Zheng immediately.
If the sky falls, there will be tall people holding it up
Don't worry, let's think about the Qiu family's affairs. Why did Capt. Cai come out of their boat? Meng Qi was not worried at all when it was quiet at night and there was no one around.
Li Chong was not in a hurry. It would be better for Lao Zhong to get the news quickly and escape: Could it be that the Qiu family and Lao Zhong were a group and they were plotting something? There was an undercurrent involving Maoling, but Capt. Cai discovered it. They quietly sneaked onto the ship to search, but were brutally killed. Then they used Lao Zhongtou's ability to control Capt. Cai to leave the ship, and prepared to bury themselves in a mass grave without anyone noticing. Unexpectedly, they were bumped into by a sailor who stole things in the middle of the night. Got it
He was a veteran, and his inferences were quite decent. Of course, he deliberately made many mistakes and waited for the police officer Xiao Su to correct them. This was a good way to please his boss.
Meng Qi shook his head: They are not the same group.
Ah, Li Chong had a guess in this regard, but he didn't expect Xiao Su to be so sure about arresting the head.
If they were a group, why bother to destroy the body and eliminate traces? Just tie a stone and throw it into the middle of the river at night. No one would find it. Moreover, it was quiet at night, even if a sailor bumped into him, just kill him. Why bother to kill him? After the matter got serious, Scar Meng Qi spoke clearly and logically.
Li Chong put aside the contempt in his heart. Xiao Su, the head catcher, could become the associate chief catcher. In addition to being successful in martial arts, he also seemed to have talent in case studies, so he couldn't be fooled.
Meng Qi licked the spoon: If they were not a group, the contradiction would be explained.
That night, Capt. Cai took advantage of the dark night and high winds to sneak into the Qiu family's boat to investigate something. Lao Zhong may have manipulated him to go there. After all, a dead person has no heartbeat or breathing, so it is harder to be discovered, so there is no destruction. The theory of corpses disappearing.
Li Chong turned the wine glass in his hand and continued: "After the sailors found out that Capt. Cai was dead, they must have made some noise like shouting. Although it was quiet at the time, there wouldn't be any experts on the dock, but if there were any secrets on the Qiu family's ship, they would definitely be there." The strong guarded him, so Lao Zhong didn't dare to rush to silence him, so he took a roundabout way and used Scar.
After Meng Qi said this, he could probably judge the situation at that time.
What needs to be determined now is whether Captain Cai rushed to Yangxia from Maoling, Jiangdong, to investigate the Qiu family's ship or to investigate Lao Zhong. Meng Qi said thoughtfully.
Li Chong wiped the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes and said doubtfully: Despite his appearance, Capt. Cai has been dead for more than half a month. Even if the zombies beat him away, it would not be possible for him to travel from Maoling to Yangxia in half a month.
But if he was intact and voluntarily pursued, it would be impossible not to report to Maoling six doors, and it wouldn't waste much time anyway, so he would cause a mysterious disappearance. Carrying the corpse, he rushed all the way back to Yangxia from Maoling, but the problem came. If Lao Zhong just found a dead man to control him so that he could sneak into the boat, there were plenty of mass graves outside the city. Why would he bother to travel thousands of miles to bring Capt. Cai back
Li Chong took a sip of wine, shook his head and said: I don't understand.
I couldn't figure it out either, so I had to investigate the boat first and confirm where it was returning from. Seeing that the food was all gone, Meng Qi said with satisfaction, "Old Li, let's go back to the Yamen to report to Governor Zheng first, and then go to the dock."
Well, Li Chong drank until his nose turned red.
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly pointed to the door and said: What a coincidence, isn't that Governor Zheng
Meng Qi followed his hand and saw Zheng Jushan, the governor of Yangxia, walking into Zuiyangxia across the street with a group of people.
This group of people embraced two young men of seventeen or eighteen years old. They were dressed as Taoist priests, but one wore a Taoist bun and a seven-star crown, and the other just held a turban.
The man holding the headscarf looked particularly familiar to Meng Qi.
He is short, has a delicate appearance, his head is slightly raised, his eyes are raised, showing obvious arrogance, with a childishness and youthfulness that has not completely faded away, and he has a long and a short sword on his back.
Yao, isn't this kid from the Yao family the Zhenwu Yao Xingliu who has a crush on his senior sister? Meng Qi took a breath and recognized the identity of the arrogant young man. More than a year later, he has at least six orifices, and now he is traveling down the mountain.
After recognizing Yao Xiaogui, Meng Qi made some guesses about the identity of the other little Taoist priest.
He is of medium build, with a round face, but his facial features are naturally matched, and he always has a smiling expression, which makes people look very comfortable. There is a long sword wrapped in green shark skin hanging on his waist, and his steps and movements look ordinary. But every move has a hidden charm, so Meng Qi can only vaguely judge his realm, six or seven orifices.
Most of the attention of Governor Zheng and others is on the little Taoist priest. There are only a handful of young people in the Zhenwu sect who can make them pay more attention to him than Yao Xiaogui.
Although Yao Xiaogui has always been walking in front and seems to respect the little Taoist priest, he is a martial arts fanatic. I apologize for the etiquette and cannot be accurate.
I'm afraid this guy is Yanghe, right
Yang He, a genius who emerged once in a century from the Zhenwu sect, immediately understood the Dharmakaya moves. He was often compared with Jiang Zhiwei of Xijian Pavilion by the elders in the sect. . If you like this work, you are welcome to support it, it is my biggest motivation.
