Chapter 12 The Official Sent in the Ditch
In just about five seconds, six gamblers, nine thugs, and one dealer in the casino hall, all of them were killed.
Before they could even react, even their screams were stuck in their throats and they were all shot in their heads.
If the distance within five meters is not enough to shoot the head, the tens of thousands of bullets Yang Yifei fed when he was a soldier would probably be fed to the dog.
The hall was completely quiet. Yang Yifei calmly withdrew his pistol, walked to the gambling table, his eyes flashed slightly, and then he stretched out his hand towards the silver money on the table.
He did not just sweep it away, and put it all into his carry-on package. Instead, he picked up a few silver ingots from the pile and grabbed a few pieces of silver in it. He didn't even look at the large silver notes starting at least 100 taels.
In the end, Yang Yifei only scratched about fifty or sixty taels of silver on the gambling table, and then gathered the remaining ones back, which seemed to have not moved.
Dozens of taels of silver are temporarily enough. The purchasing power of the Qing Dynasty's silver is the best to calculate, after all, it is closest to later generations.
One tael of silver during the Kangxi period was equal to one-day copper coins, that is, one thousand ci, and the purchasing power of one thousand ci, was approximately equal to 660 yuan in later generations.
In other words, the amount of silver that Yang Yifei pulled was about 40,000 yuan. Even if he eats a restaurant every meal, as long as it is not big fish and meat, it will be fine to support it for a year.
Besides, he couldn't eat a restaurant every time.
After taking all the money he picked up, Yang Yifei carefully avoided the blood on the ground and searched around. What surprised him was that he did not find any warhead.
In this way, this gun cannot be judged by common sense at all. Not only does it have a shell, it does not even have a bullet head. What exactly is the bullet fired from the gun?
Could it be that this gun is not a thermal weapon at all, but something similar to a magic weapon? The bullets fired are not physical at all, but an unknown energy that imitates the effects of bullets?
It is very likely, otherwise it is impossible to explain why there is no shell or warhead.
However, it is better to have no shell or warhead, so the investigators will not know what methods these people were killed.
Just as he was about to leave, Yang Yifei suddenly had a flash of eyes, he took a brush from the counter next to him, and wrote a few words on the gambling table with blood.
Although his brush writing is not very good and a little crooked, he can still recognize it clearly.
After doing this, Yang Yifei sneered, turned around and walked towards the backyard, flipped out of the wall, and returned to the alley, waiting for the morning bell to ring.
As soon as the morning bell rang, the city gate opened. When the people started to enter and exit, he would leave the city from the East City Gate, and then enter the city from the West City Gate. Then he would be active in the west of the city and not come to the east of the city where Wansheng Gambling House is located.
But the words he wrote on the gambling table were: Kill all gamblers in the world.
This is to confuse the investigation direction of the people who investigated the case. Once this line of words is left, plus the money that seems to have not been moved on the gambling table, the motive for killing and robbing money was immediately ruled out.
There are three major elements for investigating cases: motive for murder, method of murder, and the first scene.
Among them, the motive for murder is the top priority. If even the motive for murder is judged wrong, is there any possibility of this case being solved?
There is more than one casino in Yangzhou City. Perhaps the officials in charge of the case will focus on those casinos, which will have the least impact on Yang Yifei.
...
The next morning, the gamblers and other people in the gambling house got up one after another and walked into the hall to prepare for a new day.
However, when he saw the hall that looked like a killing field, the Wansheng Gambling House was suddenly in anger. The person in charge of the Gambling House looked pale. Fortunately, he was resting early last night, and he was also very frightened by the murderer's methods.
Such a big thing happened, the gambling house never thought of covering up. All the six gamblers who died were from some family businesses in Yangzhou City and could not be covered at all, so they decisively reported to the officials.
Such a big case is not something that ordinary people can handle. The Yangzhou Chief Inspector personally brought a group of Chief Inspectors and Corps to the scene.
After coroner and autopsy, it was determined that the weapon used by the murderer was a sharp thin iron rod, and the murderer had high martial arts skills, otherwise it would never have been possible to pierce a person's head at once.
After hearing the coroner's words, the Yangzhou Chief Crown Frown frowned and said in a deep voice: "Not only is the martial arts master, but he is also as fast as lightning. He doesn't need a second move to kill people, and they are all killed in one blow."
"From the position where these people fell to the ground, the two people at the back door almost didn't react at all after the murderer entered the door, and they were pierced in the head. Moreover, the murderer should have used two-handed weapons..."
As the chief constable restored the scene step by step with his experience, the image of a martial arts master who used both hands to use iron chisels and made a move like lightning and his body style was like wind, and his mind was seen in everyone's mind.
Unfortunately, his seemingly stern speculation was completely wrong. This case would be destined to be a headless case.
After the chief constable was as fierce as a tiger, all the captains were convinced, he walked to the gambling table, pointed to the word "公" and asked left and right: "Who have you seen this word?"
The detectives surrounded them one after another. After reading it, they shook their heads together. One of the captains said, "Looking at the words left, the murderer obviously read some books, but his knowledge is not high."
"You see, he only wrote half of the word 'kill', and his other half probably forgot how to write it, and he also wrote the word 'gambler incorrectly, but based on the context before and after, this should be the word 'to', killing all the gamblers all over the world, but the murderer completely wrote it wrong."
The fonts of this era are all traditional Chinese, but what Yang Yifei left is simplified Chinese. The way that sentence in this era should be "killing all the disciples of the world".
No matter how meticulous his thoughts are, some deeply rooted things are easily overlooked. Yang Yifei wrote simplified Chinese characters in the Qing Dynasty, leaving behind a flaw of details.
Of course, this flaw did not affect his plan, and the case handlers were completely led to another wrong path.
After the investigation of the scene, the chief chief commander ordered: "Since this murderer has made all the gamblers in the world, he will definitely not stop. He will send more people to stare at the major gambling shops. When he sees suspicious people, he will report immediately."
"Yes, sir."
...
When the Yangzhou government was competing with the gambling house, Yang Yifei swaggered into a tailor shop in the west of the city and tailored several pieces of clothing, shoes and socks.
They are all short-dressing suits suitable for sports, the color is the most common off-white, and shoes are also the most common black layered cloth shoes. After all, although the boots are comfortable to wear, it is not as good as wearing short-dressing boots.
Yang Yifei only wants convenience and practicality in everything, and does not care about beauty. If you wear a long gown like Huang Feihong, you must tie the hem to your belt before drying the rack. When you run, you have to carry the hem of the clothes. Yang Yifei feels very stupid and has no benefit except to show off and behave.
Yang Yifei didn't consider cheongsams and jackets at all. The clothing of the Qing Dynasty's Tartars was not necessarily beautiful, and it was less suitable for sports than long gowns.
When the cheongsam really developed to its peak, it was in the Republic of China, and it was only good-looking when worn on women. The cheongsams of the Qing Dynasty and the cheongsams of the Republic of China were completely different concepts.
Six days later, Yang Yifei took his clothes and spent a total of one, two or three cents of silver.
In the days that followed, he didn't do anything else. He spent six taels of silver to buy a carriage and placed it in an inn. Then he stared at the Yangzhou prison every day, which was the key point in his official entry into the plot.
