114 The Shadow of the Night(1/2)
It was bright.
The rising sun rises from the east.
Bai Xin stayed in the Kaifeng Prefecture Houya all night. After getting up, he was using breakfast in the cafeteria. When he saw Lang Piaoping holding a steamed bun in her mouth and two big bowls in her hand, he excitedly walked to the seat beside him and sat down.
With a bang.
He threw the rice soup and stewed bowls on the table, and he took a bite with a steamed bun, his mouth was vague, and he whispered with a slightly excited expression:
"Brother Bai, I went to several antique shops yesterday afternoon and finally found the clue."
"Do not speak or speak, please choose one of them if you eat or speak?" Bai Xin rolled his eyes.
"Come on, eat first, eat first. Let's talk about it after you finish."
Lang Piaoping laughed and ate.
Bai Xin was eating slowly, and he had some guesses in his mind about the clue Lang Piaoping just mentioned.
Although they reported the case of Zhao San and his wife committing suicide for no reason to be handled by Shi Tai's second uncle, there are actually some suspicious points, which are clues for investigation.
For example, how could Zhao San, a commoner, have something to do with the dignified Tong Taisui?
What is the reason that Tong Taisui specifically sent a message to Qinglongtang for the sake of an ordinary person?
The more Bai Xin and Lang Piaoping thought about it, the more strange they became, and decided to try to start from this aspect.
Lang Piaoping was doing this all afternoon yesterday.
Now that I am in such a good mood, I should have found useful clues.
Not long after that.
After the meal, the two asked for two cups of tea and sat in the same place to talk about this.
"Yesterday afternoon, I found someone to go to the antique shop where Zhao San worked for secretly collected news. I learned that Zhao San had never had any interaction with Tong Taisui before. However, five days ago, the owner of the antique shop asked Zhao San to give Tong Taisui an ancient jade. This was the rule set by Tong Taisui. There were all antique calligraphy and painting shops of slightly larger scale in the capital. They were offered almost once a month, and most of them were personally sent by the owner. However, the owner had something to do that day. Seeing that Zhao Sanyi was always reliable and decent, he asked him to go with the manager."
"The manager and Zhao San went to Tong Taisui Mansion and successfully delivered ancient jade. They stayed for a while, then returned to the antique shop and did their own work." Lang Piaoping drank a sip of tea, her eyes became solemn, and she said, "It's normal to get here, but it became a little weird next."
"According to a clerk with a good relationship with Zhao San, after Zhao San returned from Tong Taisui Mansion, his eyes were blurred, his energy was dissipated, and his reaction was wild. Sometimes he walked in front of him and called him two or three times without any reaction. When he finished work in the evening, his spirit became even more depressed, and he seemed very tired, which was something that the clerk had never seen before. In the past, he had never seen him when he was more tired than that day."
"The next day, he was even more tired, his face turned yellow, his eyes were black, and he was shaking when he walked. He almost broke a piece of antique in the store and was cursed by the manager, but he was stunned and completely unresponsive at that time. As a result, before the meal time was time, news came from Tong's mansion, saying that the manager in the store and Zhao San were annoyed the nobles in the mansion when they offered gifts, and sent someone to take accountability."
"In the end, in order to get rid of the responsibility, the shopkeeper opened the manager and Zhao San, and the matter was over. However, the clerk specifically explained that Zhao San's condition was very wrong when he left, and he felt like he was lost. He was slapped twice by the shopkeeper without any reaction."
"After that, there was no news about Zhao San there." Lang Piaoping told the story.
"Where is the manager who sent Yu with Zhao San? Has something happened to him?" Bai Xin immediately grasped the point.
"Good question, this is the problem." Lang Piaoping narrowed her eyes and showed a strange look. "The manager spent money to get drunk on the day he was fired, and drowned when he came back in the evening!"
"This is a coincidence!" Bai Xin nodded, thinking.
"So I checked the situation of other people who went to Tong Taisui's mansion to give gifts that day. I found that there was an antique shop shop owner who gave gifts with Zhao San and the others that day. On the night he returned home, he was overjoyed with his newly married fourth concubine and died of wind!"
"This way of dying..."
Bai Xin didn't know what expression to make for a moment.
Lang Piaoping continued:
"Next, I investigated whether anyone gave gifts. Sure enough, two shopkeepers from the shops gave gifts in person. One of them was suddenly frightened when watching the show at the banquet. They fled regardless of left and right obstacles. As a result, they fell from the platform and fell to the ground and died."
"So, during this period, all the people who went to Tong Taisui's mansion to give gifts were dead?" Bai Xin frowned.
"No, there is one more surviving!"
Lang Piaoping corrected: "After this shopkeeper left Tong's mansion, he fell ill immediately, but he was lucky. He had been recuperating at home and did not die in all kinds of strange situations!"
"Hey, he has good luck! No, it's not right!"
Bai Xin shook his head and said, "After all the people who went to Tong Taisui's mansion during this period, something happened to him. Only he is fine, but it also means that the problem is. He must have something special..."
While talking, it suddenly became noisy outside. A detective ran over and looked around for a while. When he saw Bai Xin, he looked at him with a certain look. He hurriedly approached and whispered:
"Bai Xin, a group of six doors came outside, saying that they wanted to arrest you. Lord Shi asked you to stay in the mansion and not go out, and everything outside was left to him."
"Do you know what it is for?" Lang Piaoping asked curiously.
"They said..."
The detective looked at Bai Xin, swallowed his saliva, and said, "They said that this Bai brother broke through six doors last night and killed their silver medal leader Luo Hu. He was extremely guilty. They wanted to arrest Bai Xin and arrest him!"
After he finished speaking, he peeked at Bai Xin with curiosity, awe and admiration. This young man, who was not old, was so brave that he actually dared to kill the silver medal detective of Liushemen, or to break through Liushemen at night. This kind of strength and courage would be too great for the detectives of Kaifeng Prefecture!
Bai Xin had already thought about the consequences when he decided to take action. At this moment, he was confident and smiled indifferently: "If you have any questions, please go outside to find out the situation. If the situation is serious, please come back immediately and let me come forward. You must not implicate the big guys in Kaifeng Prefecture!"
"Brother Bai, just stay here with peace of mind. The group of dogs in Liushemen want to deal with you, but they are targeting our Kaifeng Mansion. Lord Shi must not give in!" The detective gritted his teeth as soon as he mentioned Liushemen, fully demonstrating how inconsistent Kaifeng Mansion and Liushemen are on weekdays.
After he finished speaking, he held his fists and bowed quickly.
Lang Piaoping next to her still had a ghost-like expression until now, with an extremely wonderful expression. She stared at Bai Xin for a while.
After a moment of silence, he asked in a low voice:
"You really killed Luo Hu?"
"hey-hey."
Bai Xin laughed, neither affirming nor denying, he wanted a cold and handsome look, killing one person in ten steps, leaving no way, and leaving the matter for a long time, hiding his body and reputation, this is the swordsman.
Lang Piaoping raised her eyebrows and kept beating her mouth. She began to regret teaming with Bai Xin for the first time!
After careful calculation, he and Bai Xin had only been in a team for a day, but in just one day, he first severely injured a general manager of Qinglong Hall and offended Qinglong Hall to death. Now there are silver medal constables who have killed Liushangmen and offended Liushangmen to death...
Moreover, the series of cases caused by Zhao San and his wife are likely to involve Tong Taisui. If the trouble is not good, offend the two most powerful officials in the court...
By this calculation, this kid's ability to attract hatred is simply amazing!
If he had been mingled with this kid, his small body would be gone in a short while and he would be crushed to pieces!
But there is one thing he has to admit, that is, this kid's strength is definitely beyond expectations.
He knew Luo Hu's name. He was a famous boxing master who had been famous for many years. He was skillful in kung fu and could sneak into the six doors and kill him. He did not arouse the alertness of other masters. He either used sneak attacks, poison kills and other assassinations, or crushed with absolute strength and killed the opponent in a few moves.
In either case, this strength is shocking enough!
Not long after that.
The constable quickly returned and said, "The people from Liushemen have been making trouble for a while, but they can't come up with evidence. They prove that the person was killed by Brother Bai. He was pushed by Lord Shi for a few words. Later, the iron hand of Liushemen came over and forced the people away to end the farce."
Iron Hand?
The iron hand of one of the four famous arresters?
When Bai Xin heard this, he was a little annoyed and missed the opportunity to meet this famous Wen actor.
After watching the constable leave, Lang Piaoping did not forget to remind him:
"Brother Bai, Liuzhan will never give up. If you go out in the future, you must be careful of their revenge. After all, they are violent organizations specially organized by the court to suppress illegal martial arts people. Kaifeng Prefecture can protect you once, twice, three times!"
"Thank you, Brother Lang, for your reminder, I know what I know!" Bai Xin smiled, not caring much.
Since the other party has already hit him, he should be mentally prepared to bear the consequences for him. He is not Lin Chong who is bullied and does not know how to resist.
If you hit him, be careful to lose your life!
However, this incident also made Bai Xin more and more sure of his previous speculations, and someone wanted to deal with Zhou Tong!
The reason why these people targeted themselves secretly seemed to be trying to attack Zhuge Shenhou's faction with a little mistake, which belonged to the internal struggle of the Six Gates. But don't forget that Bai Xin also has another identity, he is Zhou Tong's third personal disciple.
Because of the special significance of the personal disciples, targeting Bai Xin is targeting Zhou Tong.
For example, when Luo Hu was in this matter, the Liushemen did not immediately capture him, but instead hid the person in the Liushemen. In Bai Xin's opinion, he either was not prepared properly and endured the anger of a great master, or did not have the strength or power equivalent to the great master and dared not take action.
But if it were the latter, they would not have offended the vain to death.
In other words, the other party is likely to be in the preparation and planning stage, so it cannot be suppressed for the time being.
Once they launch an offensive, they are afraid that even Zhou Tong will not be able to escape!
"So their trump card should be the master, and they are quite sure to defeat the master..."
Bai Xin looked at the tea leaves floating in the tea cup, and there seemed to be undercurrents hidden under the clear water surface.
Then, he laughed at himself:
"Maybe I'm overthinking."
"However, no matter what, I must improve my strength as soon as possible! If I get involved in a high-level battle, I must have the ability to protect myself at the least!"
Lang Piaoping saw Bai Xin’s face full of thought, thinking that he was worried about the revenge of the Six Gates, so she nodded.
The young man is still a little rational!
Not being blinded by strength, I still know that I am prepared for danger in times of peace!
"Okay, let's not talk about these troubles."
Bai Xin came to his senses, looked at Lang Piaoping, and said, "Brother Lang, we still need to investigate this case."
"It's indeed a lot of effort. If you don't keep checking, you're sorry for yourself." Lang Piaoping nodded, but added, "But remember one thing, we can't participate when we really involve the Tong Mansion."
"Of course."
