"Dingshan, haven't I told you a long time ago? We are just betting that the murderer has a paranoid mentality. Paranoid people cannot think about it with normal thinking. Sometimes even if he knows that it is a trap, he will not
They pounced on them under control, because big insects don’t allow their territory to be invaded by others.”
Although Tie Mo gave an explanation, Zhou Dingshan still felt that it was a bit unreliable, but it was useless to think too much at this time, so it was better to concentrate on doing things.
In the evening, the capital is a bustling scene, but Xicheng seems not to be affected in the slightest. Speaking of which, Xicheng is also a famous wealthy area in the capital. To the west is Liulicang, surrounded by brothels, restaurants, and casinos, and they are all high-end.
In the evening, many people have begun to enter Yuangui Gambling House one after another. From the outside, there is not much movement, but if you walk into the gambling house, you will know how lively it is inside. The gambling methods in the Song Dynasty are as follows
There are many ways to throw dice. Jiuyou has several ways to throw the dice, guess the size, and guess the points. The most common one is to compare the size.
"Have you heard? There were five murder cases today. Five people died at once. It sounds scary." A short man said with lingering fear while touching the dice.
"Third board, what are you talking about? It's obviously four, why is it five? Okay, okay, stop talking nonsense. Are you betting on the big or the small!"
The third board slapped a bunch of money, held his neck high and said angrily, "Oshida, I said Uncle Eighth, don't believe it, it's true, my cousin works in the Yamen, you know this, it's true
They were five lives. According to him, two corpses were found in Guangdeokfang, and they died in exactly the same way!"
"Really?" The older man took a breath and said, "Oh my god, there are really five lives? Where did this murderer come from? Don't wander around at night."
"Uncle Eighth, even if you don't tell us, we all know about this. Who dares to go out at night? Anyway, I stayed in the gambling house for the night."
The same words were spread not only in Yuangui Gambling House, but also in other restaurants and tea shops. Gradually, almost everyone in the capital knew that five people died that day. When night fell again, a nice house
Inside, there was a man in blue robes who kept pacing. He was about thirty years old and looked very burly. He didn't know what had happened. He looked very irritable, breathing rapidly, and showing two rows of teeth from time to time.
It was late at night at the Return Inn in West City. Zhou Dingshan ditched the others and quietly came to the Return Inn. "Supervisor, our people are ready, can we take action?"
"Well, let's take action, but keep an eye on your people. Don't let your people capture our people before the murderer is lured out!"
"Don't worry, Supervisor, I have already explained this to my subordinates." Zhou Dingshan cupped his hands and left quickly. Tie Mo and Xiao Ruxue came to the window and waited quietly. Under the night, the capital was much quieter than before.
It only gets quiet at Haishi, but now before Xushi, there are few pedestrians on the street. Could this scene be caused by this murder?
Most of the people stayed at home and did not dare to come out, but there were always some unbelievers who wandered the streets carelessly and kept saying obscene words. This person's name was Ma Gan'er, and he was from the West City.
The famous gangster settled down, he is almost forty, and he is still single. Ma Ganer is a gangster for sure, but he dares to wander on the street in the middle of the night, and he is not full of food. After a drink today, he will not
Plus, he could get ten taels of silver for walking around. How could he not agree? Ma Ganer felt that the risk was worth taking. His life was worthless. Besides, the criminal would not be stupid enough to just commit the crime and then come out again.
To commit murder?
Ma Gan'er did drink a lot of wine. There is a saying that drinking makes people brave. As soon as the smell of alcohol started to rise, he was really not afraid of the murderer. Taking advantage of the alcohol, he ran to the corner to drink some water, and then headed towards the West City.
Walking away, maybe I was too excited, and I actually hummed a ditty in my mouth, "In the yellow land of my house, there is a ravine in front of the door... There are herds of cattle and sheep in the ravine, and the little sister at the head of the village is waiting for my brother.
We live in a ravine, and there is wind and no water in the ravine. My sister is doing it on the bedside, her legs are bent, and she is wet..."
Tie Tiemo and Xiao Ruxue could hear the strange singing even though they were far away from each other. Xiao Ruxue's face turned red and she said angrily: "This Zhou Dingshan, it's not a good idea to find anyone, but he chose such a rogue to sing.
What is it that sounds so awful?"
"Hey, Xue'er, what do you think of this song? How about I play one for you?" Master Tie felt that his singing skills were very good. Like two butterflies and mice who love rice, they are better than hemp.
Gong'er's singing was really good. Unfortunately, Xiao Ruxue had seen Tie Mo's singing voice before, so she simply covered her ears and said, "Don't torture me anymore."
"You...what do you mean by that? There is no distinction between good and bad...we..."
"Mo Nao, look, it's appeared." Pointing to the roof opposite, I saw a figure. Under the dim moonlight, I could only see the figure squatting on the eaves. Only by looking carefully can I see the general outline. At first glance, it looked like
A big insect, but if you look closely, you can see that it is a burly man wearing a tiger skin. The tiger skin is connected to the tiger head, which looks lifelike. Under this night, if you don't look carefully, you might think it is a real one.
Big insect.
"Hoo...ho..."
Ma Gan'er was singing happily. When he heard those tiger roars, he was so frightened that he couldn't be so unlucky. Did he really meet the murderer? He had received orders from the official before, Ma Gan
Erqiang calmed down and ran forward with trembling legs, crying for his father and mother, screaming as he ran, "Help, big bug...there is a big bug..."
"Hoho...hoho" the screams became louder and louder, making people's eardrums hurt. Ma Gan'er was so scared that he didn't dare to think about anything. What on earth is going on? Why can the big bugs run to the roof?
What? Ma Gan'er ran as hard as he could, and the big insect roared, ran along the roof a few times, and suddenly rushed forward, straight towards Ma Gan'er. With a plop, Ma Gan'er only felt pain in his back.
The whole person fell to the ground like a gourd rolling on the ground.
Turning over, Ma Gan'er sat on the ground and kept walking backwards. Now that he was closer, he could see the situation clearly. This was not a big insect, it was just a person wearing a tiger skin. Although it was not real
Big bug, but Ma Gan'er is more scared than before. No matter how ferocious the beast is, it is still not as smart as people, but what should we do with a fake beast? The man in tiger skin lies on the ground, like a real big bug, then
The tiger's head kept shaking and its mouth opened and closed. I don't know how the other party managed to make the tiger's mouth so lifelike.
"Hero, hero, please spare your life. The villain has never offended you. Can you please let the villain go? I'll give you all this money... I'll give you all..." Ma Gan'er put all the money he had on him
Everything was thrown out, except for some broken silver, jewelry, and most importantly, a red bellyband.
The humanoid insect had no interest in the property on the ground at all. It walked slowly towards Ma Gan'er on all fours. It was so close that you could even smell a fishy smell. Seeing that the big insect was about to pounce on Ma Gan'er,
At this moment, there was another tiger roar, and for some reason, another big bug jumped out from the roof behind Ma Ganer. This big bug was smaller than the previous one, but its decoration was more lifelike.
As he walked, his steps were slow and leisurely, and there was a sense of pride in his eyes. If he hadn't been too close, he would have thought it was a real big insect.
No matter the look or behavior, it looked very much like a big bug. The smaller bug bared its teeth and roared at the big bug that came first. The two looked at each other for a while, then suddenly roared and rushed towards each other at the same time. Both ends
The big bugs on the street didn't care about Ma Gan'er. Now Ma Gan'er saved his life in vain. He didn't even care about the money on the ground. He got up and ran out, "Someone, help!"
The two big bugs were fighting each other, and they were fighting fiercely. If you look closely, you can see that both of them are skilled in martial arts. The smaller one is very flexible, constantly swimming around the big one, and after dozens of moves,
The big one actually suffered a lot of losses. The big tiger obviously couldn't bear the loss. He stood up from the ground, tore off his tiger skin clothes, took out a knife from inside, and said, "Fuck you!"
, I will give you a few tricks, you really think of yourself as a tiger, I will chop you to death, you beast!"
The big man was none other than Zhou Dingshan, who was pretending to be a big tiger. At first, Zhou Dingshan didn't take it seriously, thinking that he could kill the opponent even by lying on the ground and pretending to be a tiger. Unexpectedly, after fighting for a while, he realized how stupid he was.
If you are on your own, how can you compare yourself to a guy with a mental disorder?
Holding the knife and slashing for a while, it had a miraculous effect. The man was suddenly hit by the knife, roared, suddenly used his feet to force himself, and went straight into the alley next to him. At this moment, the officials' shouts were heard not far away.
At the sound of shouts, Zhou Dingshan did not dare to stay any longer, so he turned to the dark place with the tiger skin in his arms.
As soon as the tiger-skinned murderer escaped, the people in the dark followed him quietly, following him all the way. The murderer escaped quickly and went straight to Liuguang Alley, where the richest people were concentrated in the West City.
After learning about the murderer's residence, Tie Mo also secretly smiled bitterly. He should have thought of this a long time ago. Anyone who can own a complete tiger skin must belong to a wealthy family, and a very wealthy family.
What happened next was much simpler. Tie Mo led people directly to chase him to Liuguang Hutong. Tie Mo and Xiao Ruxue had quietly sneaked into the bedroom. Looking at the furnishings and decorations in the room, Xiao Ruxue felt a little relieved. Surrounded by
It is full of pictures, but they are all pictures of tigers. The whole bedroom is very weird. How can a normal person like so many pictures of tigers? People like this are no longer likes, but are paranoid and crazy. It turns out that there are really people in the world.
Such a paranoid person is obviously a human being, but he regards himself as a beast.
Not long after, Zhou Dingshan walked out of the back room, shaking the things in his hands with some excitement.
"Superintendent, I got the drawings. Let's go quickly. People from Shuntian Mansion and the Criminal Department will be here soon!"
After looking at the situation in the dark room, Qin Meng cupped his hands and said hastily, "Supervisor, you go first. The people from the government office will arrive soon. I will leave this place to my subordinates."
Tie Mo nodded and led the people quickly to the courtyard. At this time, noises could be heard outside the courtyard.
Qin Meng was not idle either. He picked up the tiger claw on the ground and scratched his chest hard. The tiger claw was very sharp and immediately cut his front, leaving a deep claw mark. After doing this
, he rushed forward and kicked the criminal who hadn't gotten up yet, knocked him unconscious, put the tiger skin on him again, then raised it up and chopped it down hard. The knife was so powerful and heavy that it directly cut through the tiger skin and scratched the criminal.
neck.
Fortunately, Qin Meng was quick and agile. As soon as he finished doing this, people from Shuntian Mansion rushed into the bedroom. Because the case was too important and the murderer was found, Du Linghe, the head of the Criminal Department, personally led the people there. Du Linghe
When he came in, the criminal was already standing tall. Qin Meng stepped forward and bowed his hands, saying, "Master Du, this person is a criminal who pretends to be a big insect and commits crimes. This criminal was too cruel and there was no other way to kill him."
.”
Du Linghe snorted coldly in his heart. He knew very well that the murderer was silenced by Qin Meng. He was still a step too late. He could have gotten some information from the murderer, but now that Qin Meng had taken advantage of him, everything was going wrong.
Du Linghe wanted to know who was standing behind Qin Meng. Qin Meng obviously wouldn't tell, and the murderer was also silenced. Also, why did the murderer kill Wu Changdi, and did Wu Changdi reveal the secret of the banquet? These are all
It has become an unknown mystery.
Du Linghe was too lazy to talk to Qin Meng. After confirming that the murderer was dead, he left Liuguang Hutong with his followers. At this time, Cheng Jiming had fallen asleep, but was woken up by Du Linghe's knock on the door. In the living room, Du Linghe
Ling He said with a heavy heart: "Sir Cheng, Qin Meng's fellow found the murderer before our people. I have been sending people to keep an eye on Qin Meng, but I haven't found anyone in contact with Qin Meng."
"How is that possible?" Cheng Jiming stared with an ugly expression. How could one Qin Meng do so many things? It's just that he failed to catch the murderer before Qin Meng. He didn't even check the person behind Qin Meng.
Come out. Cheng Jiming wanted to say that the criminal department was a bunch of trash, but he held it back in the end.
Cheng Jiming now suspects that the person who instigated Qin Meng to do things is none other than Tie Mo, who is his biggest headache. It is not without reason to doubt Tie Mo. In the past, Qin Meng was not showy, but as soon as Tie Mo arrived in the capital, this guy
He started to dance, with a posture that he was not afraid of anything. Qin Meng was definitely not fighting for His Majesty's strength, and there were not many candidates left.
But even if you suspect Tie Mo, what's the use? The key is that you don't know what the other party wants to do.
If the murderer was found in advance, some clues might be found, but now the murderer asked Qin Meng to silence him in advance.
"Huh, Mr. Du, send someone to tell the guests at the banquet that they must be more vigilant recently. Also, tell Zheng Chenghua to pull three thousand battalion soldiers to Mangshan Mountain on the pretext of maintaining order in the east city."
Cheng Jiming's arrangement was quite beyond Du Linghe's expectations. Even if Yankeju was on tight guard, he even transferred three thousand battalions. Mr. Cheng was too cautious. This is the capital. Is it possible?
Does anyone dare to mobilize troops to attack the guests at a banquet? If they mobilize troops to use swords and guns in the capital, is this a rebellion?
