Chapter 33 Big Brother, Did You Know?(1/2)
In ancient times, there were indeed fewer people who specialized in realism. Even in the yamen, there were painters who specialized in drawing wanted posters. But based on descriptions alone, it was extremely difficult to draw a 70-80% resemblance.
According to the woman's description, the portrait of the man who led him to Yangzhou finally appeared on the paper after several revisions. However, Liu Dapao picked it up and looked left and right, looking up and down, and he really didn't recognize it.
No impression at all.
In the city of Yangzhou, I know all the big and small stewards of the major yamen, and there is definitely no one like this. I know all the wealthy businessmen with hundreds of thousands of dollars in wealth, as well as the powerful families who are not easy to offend, even the stewards. On the road
Among the brothers in the gang, there is no one who is considered to be the eldest brother if he is a little bit powerful, and I at least look familiar to him, but there seems to be no such person.
He handed it to Qiu Yan and said, "Do you know him?"
"You... don't know me, but why does it look familiar? I seem to have seen her somewhere."
"Does it look familiar? Think about it carefully. Isn't this really meant for you?"
"I...can't remember it."
After all, Qiu Yan and Meng Zhong only met once, and he was not the kind of person with a particularly good memory. In addition, the painter's words were indeed distorted, and he really didn't notice it for a while.
"Oh~, then I can only show it to the third child. He has many friends, so he might be able to get to know him. Madam, are you sure he really looks like this?"
"It's probably close to 70-80% similar. No matter how specific it is, I can't tell you."
"Um."
Then he patted Qiu Yan on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Coach Qiu. As long as this person is still in Yangzhou City, I can dig up three feet to find him. If the third child doesn't know this person, I will find him."
This portrait is distributed to all the brothers in the Yizi Sect. There are close to 10,000 brothers in the Yizi Sect. With a little reward, you won't have to worry about finding him."
With that said, he put the portrait on the table.
Meng Yi, who had just been helping the painter polish the ink, accidentally glanced at the portrait, but his heart was immediately shocked.
Why does this portrait look so much like Meng Zhong!
Qiu Yan only met Meng Zhong once, so he didn't recognize them and only thought they looked familiar. He and Meng Zhong grew up together, and he knew even Meng Zhong turned into ashes.
But, Meng Zhong? Is this possible?
This Meng Zhong is just a little brat. He was so full that he brought this woman into the city, which made the Master of the Imperial Palace furious. Even Black Heart Bear and Da Koujiu received a beating in vain?
Was he screwed alive?
Besides, he had no motive. It couldn't be because he wanted to cause trouble for himself, but he and the gluten shop were protected by Coach Qiu, so it was difficult for him to do anything. The original intention of doing such a big thing was just to get Coach Qiu into trouble.
Drop it?
Maybe, there are similarities between people?
However, he suppressed the shock in his heart and immediately fell silent, planning to investigate on his own.
In fact, the matter of Meng Zhong is really not difficult to investigate, because Meng Zhong was arrested by Qiu Yan just last month for beating a woman in the street. If this person is arrested, a file must be left behind.
The case last month would not be cleared so quickly. Meng Zhong's home address would definitely be recorded in the file.
The matter of checking files is also difficult for Meng Yi, because his gluten shop is located on Zhuque Street. Every morning and evening, the government servants who go to work will pass by the door of his shop. Meng Yi is also a very good person.
Something is going to happen, so at least he looks familiar to all the government officials. The fight between Meng Zhong happened in front of their gluten shop, so he is also a party to this case.
So he used this as an excuse, and the yamen who managed the files didn't make it difficult for him. He easily found Meng Zhong's residence. He planned to go to Meng Zhong's house to investigate and find out what he was relying on now.
Come to make a living and work for some boss.
Of course, if the matter had nothing to do with Meng Zhong, he would not let go of such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, hoping to see if he could find an opportunity to frame him.
After thinking about it, when he went to Meng Zhong's house, he went back to the gluten shop first, secretly stole a large kitchen knife for cutting gluten, wrapped it in cloth and hid it on his body.
Suddenly I heard someone behind me exclaim: "Meng Yi, you, what are you doing with the knife?"
Meng Yi was startled, and when he turned around, it turned out to be Ah Xiang... or Ali. This is it.
"Shhhh~, I, I have to do something."
"You're a kid, what can you do if you go out with a knife?"
Meng Yi had no choice but to confess: "The portrait painted by that woman looks like Meng Zhong to me."
"Meng Zhong? That's right, the one who has a grudge against you, the guy who was raised by your family?"
"Yes, that's him."
"Oh my gosh, this... this is such a coincidence. Then since you know such an important clue, why didn't you tell Mr. Xiong why you were stealing the knife here?"
"I'm not sure! How did Meng Zhong, a little loser, get involved in such a big thing? Besides, everyone knows that Meng Zhong and I have a grudge. I told you, if not, Mr. Xiong will think that I am avenging personal revenge.
"
"Ah...what you said...is right."
"So I want to go check it out? Bringing a knife is just for self-defense."
"No, it's too dangerous. I can't let you go. You're still a child."
"Sister Xiang, if Meng Zhong is really the culprit of all this, this is not only my chance for revenge, but also my chance to get ahead. I have to go."
"Hey? How do you know I'm not my sister?"
"Your sister won't treat me like a child, and if it were her, she would most likely come with me to watch the fun without taking it too seriously."
"I don't care. I don't allow you to go. It's too dangerous. Let's discuss it in the long term."
"Wealth is gained through danger. I can't control that much anymore. I have to go."
With that said, he pushed Axiang away and ran away.
"You...just wait. If you want to go, I'll go with you."
As he said that, he picked up a rolling pin and walked away.
………………
On the other side, Meng Zhong received the task from Guojiang Dragon to kill the woman carrying the coffin. He was very excited because Guojiang Dragon promised him that after completing the task, he would not only formally put him in the door, but also get a small room.
The casino comes to take care of it for him.
As for Meng Zhong, he did not take the initiative to reveal that he actually found this woman, but he promised that he would be able to complete the task.
Until Meng Zhong received the mission and returned, Crossing the River Dragon was also worried. He didn't know whether he had done the right thing or wrong. He was also worried on the way home. As soon as he got home, he heard that Du Mengdong was waiting for him in the living room.
.
Suppressing the anxiety in his heart, Guojianglong laughed and opened his arms as he walked outside the living room: "Third brother! Hahaha, what kind of wind brought you here? I haven't seen you for many days, and I miss you.
, I will be the host tonight, and we two brothers must have a good drink."
Du Mengdong smiled and hugged Guojiang Long and said, "Let's drink some other time. I came to see my second brother today because I have some business. Well, second brother, do you know the person in the portrait?"
"Who is this?"
Then the dragon crossing the river was stunned.
Meng Zhong?
What's going on!
"Do you know the second brother?"
"Ah? No, I don't know you. What's wrong? Who is this?"
"Hey~, you don't know him either, so we can only cast a wide net and start a war. It's the eldest brother who wants to find him. I have already found someone to print it. The eldest brother will also use the relationship with the yamen to search and find this person later.
After the portrait is copied, second brother, you also give a share to your brothers to see if anyone knows this person. If there is no Yizimen, we will have to go down and look for it. The eldest brother said, even if it is Yangzhou City
We have to turn everything upside down and dig three feet into the ground to find him."
The dragon crossing the river is confused.
He had just finished, no, he was just about to do the dirty work. After he killed Meng Zhong, he was still hesitating whether he was a member of the Yizi Sect. As a result, the boss asked the third child to take Meng Zhong's portrait.
Did you slap yourself in the face?
Isn’t this incredible?!
How is this possible?
It must be a coincidence.
"Third brother, this...eldest brother, why are you looking for this person?"
Du Mengdong thought about it after hearing the words, and said: "I don't know either, I just know that it has something to do with that woman."
Hearing this, Dragon Crossing the River swallowed a mouthful of saliva, his head buzzing.
How is this possible!
How did the elder brother know?
Even if he had an informant around him and was an extremely trusted person, knowing that he had accepted Meng Zhong's discipleship, how did he know that he had sent Meng Zhong to kill that woman?
I just broke up with Meng Zhong and went home!
As a result, the boss sent the third child to wait for him at his home early, and even drew a portrait of Meng Zhong in advance?
Could it be that the boss wanted to tell himself that everything he did was within his expectations? Could it be that the boss had calculated these?
To be continued...
