Chapter 526: Solving the case with Lin Chong, and suddenly I felt more relaxed!
"Hoo!"
When they arrived at the casino, Gongsun Zhao's chest heaved violently several times. Looking at Li Yan who was refreshed and seemed to be strolling along the way, he couldn't help but say: "Lin Erlang is really good at this!"
Li Yan is already aware of Gongsun Zhao's current strength value: "Judge Gongsun has a solid foundation and strong Qi and blood. He has been training hard since childhood, right?"
Gongsun Zhao shook his head: "That's not the case. I am from Jiugong County, Jizhou. There is a Erxian Mountain on the edge of the county. There are many people who visit the immortals and learn Taoism. The practice of martial arts is not popular. When I was a child, I only practiced some spears and sticks. Later,
After joining the Imperial City Division, I received guidance from my master and learned superior martial arts."
Li Yan raised his eyebrows: "Judge Gongsun started practicing martial arts in the middle. To be able to achieve such an achievement, his talent is extremely high and should not be wasted."
Gongsun Zhao was so inspired by him that his enthusiasm for martial arts training ignited in his heart. However, thinking of his busy official duties, he sighed softly: "It has been a troubled time for the new emperor to ascend the throne recently. When the government and the public settle down, I think I will be able to relax for a while.
No matter how hard you practice, it’s never too late…”
Li Yan did not comment on this.
Gongsun Zhao calmed down, looked at the gambling house, and focused his eyes again: "First, we will investigate the relationship between Golden Retriever Tai Sui, Butler Wang and Wuyou Cave. If the five deceased people are related to Wuyou Cave, then we will finally
The murderer has been caught!"
Li Yan nodded and the two of them walked in together.
With the gambling-friendly social atmosphere of this era, you can bet on any trivial matter on the roadside. When you go to a regular gambling house, you can even imagine that the business is booming.
This casino was called Mingyuefang. There had just been a death three days ago. At this time, the place was still filled with music, laughter, and shouts of guessing, gambling, and drinking, making it extremely lively.
Seeing two people walking in, one was wearing a green robe and had a cold face, and the other was a majestic, heroic and well-mannered stranger. The servant immediately informed and the person dressed as a steward hurriedly greeted them.
But when he arrived in front of him, he looked at Gongsun Zhao, his pupils shrank slightly, and he hurriedly saluted: "I don't know that Judge Gongsun's great arrival will be missed from afar! Sometimes he will be welcomed from afar!"
Gongsun Zhao said coldly: "Why bother being so polite? My coming here must be related to the investigation, and you won't welcome me."
The steward complained secretly and could only try to put on a smile: "How can we do that? Everyone who comes is a guest, we must satisfy Judge Gongsun!"
Li Yan looked inside and found that the place was spacious, with three connected halls in the front, middle and back. Thousands of guests did not feel crowded in such a large casino, so he said: "If you don't want to affect business,
Just quick questions and quick answers.”
The steward's attention had been on the green robe before, thinking about how to deal with the cold-faced judge who was not good at it. Now he took a closer look and was surprised and delighted: "But in front of Dr. Lin?"
After hearing this claim, Li Yan looked at the steward again and had some impression: "I don't deserve the title of a miracle doctor. You did come to the medical clinic last month for treatment. I gave you an injection. Are you feeling better?"
The steward was about to bow down and said, "Ms. Doctor Lin has cured the disease with acupuncture and relieved my years of pain. I am really grateful!"
Li Yan supported him. The steward was still very grateful, but his attitude immediately changed: "Please come in, I will open another box!"
He led the way and quickly passed through the three largest gambling halls and arrived at the inner room.
Just like the elegant rooms behind Huixian Tower, which are the favorite places of literati and poets, Mingyuefang also deliberately distinguishes ordinary guests from VIPs. The private rooms, whether it is gambling tables, gambling equipment, or furniture, are all gorgeous and elegant, and even more beautiful.
The dealer presides over the gambling game and is responsible for dealing the cards.
Of course, these are of no use now. The dealer hurriedly left, the maid served fragrant tea, and the steward came to the front and said: "Please ask Judge Gongsun and Divine Doctor Lin. If you can tell me, I will tell you."
Gongsun Zhao observed his words and saw that the steward was sincerely grateful. He nodded and said, "We are here because of the death of Golden Retriever Tai Sui and Butler Wang."
The steward was slightly startled: "Didn't they have an accident? They reported it to the government a few days ago, and their followers were also brought over for questioning..."
Gongsun Zhaodao: "It's possible that these two people were killed. The murderer deliberately created the illusion of an accident in order not to be traced."
The steward's expression changed: "Then the murderer will come to my Mingyuefang to kill people?"
Gongsun Zhaodao: "This cannot be confirmed. If there are people in your house who collude with Wuyoudong, it's really hard to tell."
The steward was puzzled: "Why are you related to Wuyou Cave again?"
Gongsun Zhaodao: "The same accident has occurred five times so far. The Kaifeng government office jointly investigated the cases and found that the deceased were all related to Wuyou Cave. Jinmao Taisui and Wang Guanjia are no exception, right?"
He used a question, but his tone was firm, and the steward immediately replied: "There are indeed similar rumors. Those who offended Golden Retriever Tai Sui were thrown into Wuyou Cave, and Butler Wang supplied the wine and food from Qingfeng Tower to Wuyou Cave.
"
Gongsun Zhao's eyes suddenly flashed when he thought that the wine and food in the seventy-two main stores would be supplied to that evil place by these greedy people for the thieves inside to enjoy.
Li Yan had been sipping tea leisurely, and then he asked: "Qingfenglou is one of the seventy-two main stores, what does it have to do with Mingyuefang?"
The steward said: "Our two families have the same boss behind them. Butler Wang once served as the shopkeeper of Qingfeng Tower, and later he came to be the boss of the gambling house..."
Li Yan asked again: "Can you tell me who your boss is?"
The steward showed fear and bowed deeply: "I...I don't dare to say anything about Divine Doctor Lin!"
Gongsun Zhao narrowed his eyes slightly. Although this person didn't say it clearly, he had already revealed the key clues.
If the owner behind Mingyuefang and Qingfeng Tower is just a wealthy businessman from the six major guilds, then there is no need to be secretive. Only real dignitaries and dignitaries who like to make a fortune in silence will hide their opinions from others.
He looked at the steward and softened his tone slightly: "We will leave immediately if we don't embarrass you."
The steward was granted amnesty: "Thank you so much, Judge Gongsun! Thank you so much, Doctor Lin!!"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! In his opinion, if it were not for Li Yan, this cold-faced judge who has always been unreasonable would have to turn this situation upside down.
However, Li Yan understood this person's temper. The two of them walked out of Mingyuefang and looked back at the gambling house, which was becoming increasingly lively under the night. He said leisurely: "Judge Gongsun seems to have another source of information?"
Gongsun Zhao nodded: "I can't hide it from you. If I want to find out the owner of this gambling house, I can ask someone from the Imperial City Department."
Li Yan suddenly became interested: "The Imperial City Division has always been mysterious. Are they well aware of all matters in the capital?"
Gongsun Zhao was silent for a moment, with a trace of bitterness on his lips: "What you said is completely an outsider's impression of the Imperial City Division..."
He held the sword at his waist and showed it: "This purple gold sword was given by Shenzong and passed down to the master. The master gave it to me before he died, hoping that I could revive the Imperial City Division. As a result, eight years ago,
I was transferred to the Kaifeng government office, and other elites from the Imperial City Department were also transferred to each of the six departments. From then on, the Imperial City Department was not as good as before."
It was the familiar self-defeating arm again. Li Yan shook his head and changed the topic: "Now that the relationship between the five deceased and Wuyou Cave has been determined, what do you think of the murderer's motives?"
Gongsun Zhao analyzed: "It's nothing more than two points."
"First, the murderer hates Wuyou Cave, but cannot go deep into the cave, so he targets these thieves who are connected to Wuyou Cave."
"Second, the murderer was sent by Wuyou Cave. Are these thieves related to Wuyou Cave eliminated to destroy some evidence?"
Li Yan said: "But these two points still cannot explain why the murderer acted in such a hurry during this period. There are still no key clues."
Gongsun Zhao was not discouraged, but instead cheered up: "No problem, this idea is correct. The deceased have such important common characteristics, which proves that the murderer did not simply punish rape and eliminate evil. What this person did must have a key purpose.
."
"We are getting closer to the truth. When the truth is revealed, it will surely explain all the doubts today."
"Now we are afraid that the murderer will continue to commit crimes while we are finding out the truth..."
Li Yan nodded slightly, looked up at the bright moon in the sky, and then saluted with clasped fists: "Since the person who died is definitely a bad guy who colluded with Wuyou Cave, I won't be anxious. Let's say goodbye here. It's late today, Judge Gongsun."
Also go back early to rest."
Gongsun Zhao returned the gift and said angrily: "You know clearly that I can't rest, so you must catch the prisoner as soon as possible!"
Li Yan laughed, turned around and left coolly.
Gongsun Zhao watched his tall and straight figure disappear into the crowd, but he stood still and became stunned.
After a while, he calmed down his complicated expression, felt that he had wasted time, and hurried to Kaifeng Mansion Office.
After entering the government office, sure enough, all the lights in other rooms were extinguished, only his room was brightly lit with candles, and his subordinates were all concentrating on searching for clues.
Qiu Wuzuo came up to him: "Sanlang, how is the case investigation going?"
Gongsun Zhaoyan spoke briefly and comprehensively.
Hearing Li Yan's attitude towards the evil thieves who colluded with Wuyou Cave, Qiu Zuo was convinced and nodded repeatedly: "Those thieves deserve to die. However, Mr. Lin did not say so in the Kaifeng Mansion Yamen. Instead, he boosted everyone's morale.
, I only tell the truth in private, this way of dealing with things is really brilliant!"
Gongsun Zhao said sincerely: "It is indeed more relaxing to solve cases with him."
Qiu Wuzuo smiled.
Gongsun Zhao usually didn't pay much attention to other people except the suspect. At this time, he noticed his friend's loss and comforted him: "After all, he is not from the Kaifeng government office. We don't want to disturb him again and again. We mainly investigate
I still have to leave the case to you."
Qiu Wuzuo let out a light sigh and laughed: "It's so close to Zhu Zhizhi. Saburo is now starting to take care of other people's feelings. I'm very happy!"
Gongsun Zhao was stunned for a moment, pursed his lips, and returned to his cold expression. He returned to his desk, lost consciousness for a moment, and then immersed himself in sorting out the case files.
