After leaving the door, the women in the red lantern iron house were still there.
They stood on the roadside in twos and threes, looking at the people passing by with their eyes, and reaching out to solicit "potential" customers who stopped because of their eyes.
Seeing Mo Zhi come out, several more people gathered around...
Unpredictable had to take out his work ID and tried to get them to get out of the way as a law enforcement officer:
"I'm a security guard."
What I didn't expect was that this didn't help at all;
Several women suddenly laughed, as if they heard something incredible:
"Security officers are men too, come on, come on, stop holding on..."
"When my sister was young, she had several security guards in Crystal Palace!
A woman took a deep drag on her cigarette and puffed out a puff of smoke into the air.
It's like mocking the so-called security guards, just like this puff of smoke has no weight...
No one cares at all.
Unpredictably helpless, he had to wrap up his windbreaker and squeeze in, causing a group of women to tug and laugh.
Take the tram back to the city center and go straight to Xinglong Villa Nightclub.
In my impression, one of the larger nightclubs in Hot Spring City is called Xinglong Villa, and this should be the one Wang Cui mentioned.
Judging from Wang Cui's narration, she did not know that Zheng Anbai had awakened the ability to contract, but believed that Zheng Anbai had changed after meeting Ding Sanxi, including changes in wealth...
Ding Sanxi... is very close to Zheng Anbai who has awakened his contract ability. This shows that he may know that Zheng Anbai has awakened his contract ability and is even an exiled contractor himself. There may be a relationship between Zheng Anbai, the voodoo contractor and Yuan Ming.
Blank "bridge".
If you think about it this way, the logic makes sense.
Regarding Ding Sanxi, Wang Cui only knew a name. The lack of information made it impossible to investigate, so she could only ask Bai Mudan to find out some information. After all, Wang Cui had seen him and Zheng Anbai go to this nightclub together.
I finally had a day off, but I couldn't stop pursuing the case. I couldn't help but laugh at myself...Mrs. Catherine didn't pay any overtime pay.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the entrance of Xinglong Villa Nightclub;
This place is larger than the Crystal Palace nightclub I visited last time. It is not open during the day, but it fits the name of a "night" club.
Mo Zhi gathered up his windbreaker and stepped inside.
As soon as he entered the door, two tall Hesse men in black suits approached and blocked the unpredictable path.
"Stop, we're closed during the day."
In places like this, the so-called "security guards" are actually always indispensable thugs who watch the scene, as if they are as precise as a law... Mu Zhi said something, looked at the revolvers stuck in the waists of the two people, and took out his hands.
Work permit:
"From the Supervision Bureau, find someone."
The two Hesse security guards didn't come up to show off in a ferocious manner like the characters described in sandbox novels. Instead, they looked at each other quickly and looked up and down warily.
"Who are you looking for?" a security guard asked.
"There is a singer named Bai Mudan. I want to ask a few questions." Mo Zhi said her purpose very cooperatively.
The two of them are so tall, and they carry guns... We are here to do something, and we can't do that disgusting thing of forcing ourselves to show off and slap you in the face.
One of the Hesse security guards pointed to the seat next to him: "You wait here, I'll ask the boss to talk to you."
After saying that, he glanced at the other security guard, turned around and went upstairs.
This is a qualified thug. When asked by official personnel, he will not be blunt and talk nonsense, but will deal with it with the boss.
…Unexpectedly nodded to another man in a black suit and sat casually on a chair.
Not long after, a middle-aged man wearing glasses came down from upstairs under the leadership of bodyguards. He was wearing a silk Tang suit and looked elegant.
"I am the boss here, my name is Ai Liang." The middle-aged man politely extended his hand and introduced himself.
"Inspector, Mo Zhi." Mo Zhi also extended his hand... People who do this kind of business are generally not simple.
Ai Liang then smiled and looked at Mo Zhi: "Are you also a police officer from the Supervision Bureau? One of your colleagues is a frequent visitor to my place."
"oh?"
"The one named Douglas." Ai Liang put his hand on the table between the two of them and said with a smile: "He came here last night and played all night before leaving at dawn."
I have a bad feeling about it...
Sure enough, Ai Liang continued to smile and said:
"The bill he put up is already close to ten gold dollars."
"If it's convenient for Officer Mo, please tell Mr. Douglas and ask him to take some time out of his busy schedule to settle the account."
Fuck! I knew it... Mozhi nodded calmly, still maintaining the smile on his face: "Okay."
"Here comes Mr. Laomo!" Ai Liang cupped his fists and gracefully made a salute common in the Tang Dynasty.
After finishing the courtesy, he asked calmly: "What do you want to ask Mr. Mo when he comes this time?"
Mu Zhi pondered for a moment, propped up the table with his elbows, and let the symbol flow through the table to Ai Liang...
"I want to ask you someone, is Bai Mudan the singer here? I have a few words to ask him."
"White Peony? Li Qing?" Ai Liang was slightly surprised: "Li Qing resigned a few months ago and no longer sings here in Xinglong."
"Resigned?" Mo Zhi frowned, this situation was unexpected.
When Ai Liang said this, he didn't have any psychological fluctuations. He could easily judge that the other party was indeed not lying.
Seeing the unpredictable silence, Ai Liang continued: "Li Qing is a good girl and has good luck. She married a Mr. Zheng. It was said that the two of them were planning to get married, so they resigned from me."
That’s how it turns out…
Sure enough, as Wang Cui said, Zheng Anbai and Li Qing got together and actually planned to marry the singer.
After confirming that the other party still had no complaints, Mo Zhi asked:
"Do you know her current address?"
"No. 324 Furong Street, the girl Peony said." Ai Liang recalled briefly and recommended as if to persuade him to stay:
"Peony is no longer around, why don't you replace Mr. Mo with someone else? I still have many good singers here."
Do you think I am looking for a singer under the pretext of asking questions, do you think I am Douglas...
The corners of Mu Zhi's mouth twitched and he replied calmly and politely:
"I will definitely come here often when I have time in the future."
Ai Liang smiled and nodded, still looking calm and calm.
A seemingly uneventful polite conversation ended. Just when Ai Liang got up and sent Mo Ce out, Mo Ce finally heard his voice:
"It seems that this inspector really just came to see Li Qing, and it should have nothing to do with Lao Zhuo's matter."
"I have to make a call later and ask Deputy Director Zhuo..."
"Well, this inspector's name is Mo Zhi, don't forget it."
Any unexpected gains?
Unpredictable kept walking, and after a brief memory, he determined that the person the other party was talking about should be Zhuo Yeran, the deputy director on the second floor of the Inspection Office.
This Ai Liang is related to the Deputy Director of the Supervision Bureau!
What happened to Zhuo Yeran?
Mo Zhi originally wanted to continue listening for a while, but unfortunately he had already reached the door and had to pay the price as soon as possible.
He turned his head and looked into Ai Liang's eyes, smiled casually and said, "It seems that Boss Ai is very familiar with our Supervision Office."
The headache is gone...
This also shows that it is indeed "very familiar".
Ai Liang was startled for a moment, then quickly regained his composure and said with a smile: "In our line of work, Mr. Mo should know..."
"Without the care of the Public Security Department and the Inspectorate, we would have closed down long ago."
…
On the way to Furong Street by rickshaw, I tried to guess Boss Ai's thoughts back and forth, but it wasn't as simple as I thought.
The phrase "Lao Zhuo's thing" makes people vaguely aware that it is not a trivial matter.
Moreover, the next sentence is "ask" Deputy Director Zhuo, which is full of inquiry and very casual. This shows that in Ai Liang's view, the relationship with Zhuo Yeran is not just under supervision as he said.
Under the care of the Deputy Director of the Department.
If the relationship between them is like this, Ai Liang should be thinking of words like "report", "discuss", "ask for instructions"...
Am I too sensitive? Mo Zhi smiled bitterly and shook his head. This matter obviously has nothing to do with him... Every time he uses mind reading, he will get some unexpected gains and increase his workload a lot.
As a member of the Punisher, I'd better pay attention to Deputy Director Zhuo, Mo Zhi sighed.
Looking around the busy streets, he paid careful attention again and found that he really didn't feel like he was being followed today, so he felt relieved.
The fact that I was inexplicably targeted by a killer has yet to come to an end...
…
Soon, Mo Zhi arrived at Furong Street and found No. 324.
Each of these is a two-story townhouse. The area is not small, and the house is very exquisite.
Being a singer is very profitable. The price of this townhouse close to the city center is probably no lower than Luo Sheng's villa... Suddenly, I had the illusion that I didn't want to work hard anymore.
It's better to take refuge in Wanyun and live the rest of your life without any worries...
Knocked on the door.
Unexpectedly, the person who opened the door was a man, wearing a pair of pajamas and shirtless.
"Who are you?" the man asked impatiently.
"I'm looking for Li Qing." Mo Zhi flashed the work permit in his hand.
Seeing the small black book of the Supervision Bureau in Mo Fei's hand, the man's pupils shrank instantly, which did not escape Mo Fei's eyes.
"Who are you?" Mozhi asked sharply.
The man was startled by the sudden shout and reached out to pull the door handle to close the door.
Unpredictable, with quick eyes and quick hands, he stuffed his legs into the gap between the door and used his body to block it.
At the same time, he reached out and drew his gun.
Seeing that the situation was not going well, the shirtless man gave up the door and ran into the room.
When Mu Zhi opened the door, the man had already thrown away the table in the room and ran towards the stairs inside.
Pa~pa~pa
Without any hesitation, he shot unexpectedly.
A bullet hit the man's back, causing a bloody splatter on his shoulder blade. His body staggered as he was running, and he fell to the ground.
Missing the fatal target, the man rolled on the spot, avoiding the unpredictable shooting angle, and quickly shuttled behind the furniture.
Pa~pa~pa
Three bullets hit the furniture. It is not known whether they hit the furniture.
While counting the bullets in the pistol, Mo Zhi moved closer to the direction where the man was hiding.
