Gu Zhao quickly turned sideways, not hiding the curiosity on his face, and lowered his voice to ask at the next table, "Is this Zhong from Commander Zhong's house?"

The person at the next table touched his mustache, nodded to Gu Zhao with a mysterious face, leaned over and answered in a low voice, "Otherwise, why do you think he can occupy such a good position and arrange a knockout show?"

Shows like female knockdowns have long been banned in Bei'an.

Although Lingbo Terrace is where the Donghao people live, many Donghao officials in Douchuan Pass still do not support the public performance of female knockdown programs in order to take into account the customs and materials of Bei'an.

In the entire Lingbo Station, and maybe even in the entire Douchuan Pass, this restaurant is the only one that has female knockdown programs.

Many customers come here because of its reputation, which is also an important reason for the booming business of this restaurant.

Only then did Gu Zhao understand. He thanked the next table and looked down curiously with everyone else.

There was already a mess downstairs, the guests were retreating around, and a large area of ​​the originally crowded first floor suddenly became empty.

Gu Zhao took the Xueli wine and walked to the railing on the second floor to look down. All the movement on the first floor came into view.

"It's really Zhong Sanlou!"

"Zhong Sanlou is really dead!"

"This guy deserves to die." Several people on the side were discussing, and suddenly someone said this, which startled the people on the side and involuntarily took a few steps away from him.

Gu Zhao couldn't help but glance at this guy who spoke astonishingly.

His temperament and appearance are also that of a Donghao man. He is short in stature and has a gentle face. He looks like a scholar.

The companion standing next to him quickly covered his mouth and said with an apologetic smile to the guests around him, "He is drunk, talking nonsense, talking nonsense."

As he said that, his two companions dragged him downstairs.

Gu Zhao's ears were very good, and when he heard them going downstairs, the guy who was dragged away said unconvincedly, "He should have died a thousand times over for doing those things!"

"Shut up, I beg you, do you have to throw all three of our lives here?" His companion yelled at him angrily.

Another companion also lowered his voice and cursed, "You idiot, are you trying to kill us?"

Gu Zhao looked down and did not catch up.

Sure enough, not long after, the three people came back lazily and sat back in their original positions.

Because the front and back doors downstairs were already guarded, no guests were allowed in or out, and they had to wait for the arrival of the city guards from Lingbo Terrace.

The City Guards are not the army responsible for city defense. They are in charge of the public security in Douchuan Pass. They are equivalent to the policemen and officials in Shicheng, but they have greater power. Human life cases like this fall under their jurisdiction.

Gu Zhao is now confident and is not afraid of interrogation at all, so he is not in a hurry to leave and just waits here to see what is going on.

Not long after, the first floor became quiet, and a dozen city guards in white military uniforms appeared at the door.

After listening to the shopkeeper's introduction, the leader of the city guard team looked around coldly, "Sukimoto-kun, please take someone to find out the identity of these guests, and detain all those who are suspected."

As soon as these words came out, the expressions of many onlookers changed.

Among these people, there are many whose identities are questionable. They enter Lingbo Terrace for various purposes. Once they are detained by the city guards and their identities are carefully checked, they will be killed immediately.

On the spot, two guests suddenly jumped up, one towards the door and the other towards the window.

Seeing the crowd separated by several layers, the city guards couldn't reach them at all!

Just when everyone thought they could escape successfully, two figures also wearing white military uniforms flashed out of the door and window.

It turns out that the city guard had already left manpower outside to deal with such escaping guests.

The sword flashed, and the two escaping guests screamed almost simultaneously, holding their injured arms and retreating to the first floor.

The whole hall was silent.

The city guards began to ask questions one by one, and the team leader of the city guards led people up to the second floor.

The guests who were watching the excitement at the railings immediately ran back to their seats, as well-behaved as private school students who saw their husband come in.

Da da da.

The leather boots on the squad leader's feet stepped on the wooden floor, but the footsteps that were not loud seemed to hit everyone's hearts. Everyone looked at him in awe.

"Wu Shengjun, you bring people to check their identities. If there is any suspicion, you will not let them go."

The team leader scanned everyone on the second floor, leaving a few team members behind. He stood by the railing and watched for a while, then turned and went downstairs.

Gu Zhao carried He Luguang's household registration and address, as well as a waist badge belonging to the Yun Cong family, so he naturally had no fear of such an interrogation.

After the city guards checked her identity, their attitude towards her was obviously somewhat respectful.

"If you still have something to do, you can leave now." The city guards determined that with Gu Zhao's position, it was impossible to cause harm to Zhong Sanlou on the first floor.

Since Gu Zhao's status was extraordinary, there was no need for them to hold him captive and offend such a nobleman.

Gu Zhao stood up and nodded gently to them, "Thank you for your hard work."

Going down the stairs, Gu Zhao deliberately slowed down and looked down at the exposed deceased.

The face of the deceased was black and blue, and the blood flowing from the corner of his mouth was also black. He obviously died of poisoning.

Gu Zhao's eyes flashed, and just when he wanted to look at it for a while, he was urged by the city guard on the side, "Sir, please don't stay here."

This is still polite. Previously, a guest from Bei'an who was walking slower was directly hit on the back by the city guard with a knife butt, and almost fell downstairs.

The Bei'an guest didn't dare to say anything and could only run out of the restaurant in a hurry.

Gu Zhao walked out of the restaurant. There were already some curious passers-by poking around at the door of the restaurant.

However, these were basically Donghao people, and the Bei'an people basically quickened their pace, or simply bypassed the restaurant and left in a hurry, for fear that something would happen to them.

When they saw Gu Zhao coming out, someone asked in a low voice, "I heard he was dead, right?"

Gu Zhao looked around and nodded.

"Some people say that Zhong Sanlou is dead?"

Gu Zhao said truthfully, "I don't know Zhong Sanlou."
