Qin Nan and Lao Li looked at each other. What he didn't expect was that this man named Liang Shouzhu actually had some connection with the Agate Casino. Shuangqing city center is nearly a hundred kilometers away from here.
Unexpectedly, people from the casino spread here, but the black carved wooden box Liang Shouzhu mentioned seemed to be the target of the casino.
"You really don't know what the black carved wooden box you mentioned is?" Qin Nan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"Seriously! Seriously! How could I still lie to you!" Liang Shouzhu said anxiously, and it didn't look like he was lying.
"Do you know the name of the woman who took you to the casino?" Qin Nan asked.
"The name... I really don't know, and I didn't ask..." Liang Shouzhu recalled.
"Have anyone from the casino come to your door recently?" Qin Nan asked next.
"Yes, why not? Why else would I be in such a hurry? At the end of last month, that woman came to our village and found our home," Liang Shouzhu said.
"Do you still remember the features on that woman's face?" Qin Nan asked, because so far, he had only thought of Ma Xiaolu for the woman related to the Agate Casino.
"It seemed like there was a tear mole in the corner of his eye... His hair was tied up and he was wearing a pair of black glasses..." Liang Shouzhu recalled carefully.
After Qin Nan heard these features, he carefully recalled Ma Xiaolu's facial features, but there were no tear moles in the corners of her eyes. Could it be that Qiao Zhuang had dressed up?
He always felt that he had seen people with tear moles at the corners of their eyes, and he had seen them more than once, but he couldn't remember who this person was.
Qin Nan looked at Lao Li and winked, indicating that he had no more questions to ask, and then the two of them walked out of the interrogation room...
At this time, Lao Li was sitting in the office of the Shuangqing City Public Security Bureau, listening to Li Bing, Ma Xiaotao and two other police officers reporting on their work.
At this time, Song Yi's cell phone rang. It was Qin Nan calling. He looked at the people in the office and saw that they were all outsiders, so he answered Qin Nan's call.
"Hey, Lao Qin, what's going on?"
"Old Song, I found someone from the Agate Casino in Yunchang District..." Before Qin Nan finished speaking, Song Yi opened his eyes in surprise and asked:
"What? People from Agate Casino, what's going on?"
Afterwards, Qin Nan briefly told Song Yi the news related to the casino that Liang Shouzhu said. Song Yi also looked solemn after hearing this. What he didn't expect was that,
The power of this organization has spread to a district, county, and city a hundred kilometers away, and it seems that they are looking for something from the Liang family.
"Okay, I understand. I will contact Lao Li later to see if he has received any cases similar to gambling recently." Song Yi said, and then hung up the phone.
The speaker was unintentional and the listener was intentional. The person named "Venomous Snake" had already heard their conversation word for word. His ears were extremely sensitive. Although Song Yi did not turn on the speakerphone, it did not affect him at all.
.
After several people reported their work, the man returned to his work station, looked around, and then sent a message to Heifu while ensuring safety:
"The Liang family has been discovered, act quickly tonight! 'Hua Dan' is indirectly exposed!"
After sending this message, he deleted the chat history with "Black Buddha". He looked at the photo on the table and then turned the frame over...
Qin Nan had a brief chat with Lao Li. Just as he was about to leave, Lao Li asked for a meal. Immediately, Lao Li brought an unknown colleague and Wu Fayi.
We went to the nearest food stall nearby and had dinner.
"Xiao Qin, you are really amazing! I admire you! I admire you! The feudal ideology in Shennong Village is very serious. After you messed it up like this, I guess many people will have some changes in their hearts.
I didn’t expect that there would be other murder cases in this village, and that guy Liang Shouzhu also exposed the person next door, oh, I really didn’t expect it.” Lao Li said after a break,
His face was slightly red and he seemed to be drunk.
"Uncle Li, you drank a little too much," Wu Fayi reminded.
"Hehe, hehe, I didn't drink too much, I'm happy. And you, Xiao Wu, you are really awesome, better than some of the criminal policemen in our bureau. This is your reasoning." Lao Li slowly extended his right hand to gesture.
A thumbs up.
The group of people ate until about 10:30 in the evening before ending the fight. Only Wu Haotian didn't drink at all because he had to drive Qin Nan home. Wu Fayi only touched a little with his mouth, while Qin Nan drank more or less.
Three or four bottles of wine,
He was also half drunk. Wu Haotian pulled Qin Nan into the passenger seat, fastened his seat belt, and then stepped on the accelerator.
He looked at the scenery outside the car window. Although this was a county-level city, the smell of fireworks was no worse than inside the city. There were various food stalls on both sides of the road.
Unlike in the city, at night, especially in the middle of the night, the streets are deserted, which makes people feel lonely.
Wu Haotian was waiting for the traffic light when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the car window.
"Thief, run away and get the things!" A big man pressed a thin man under him and shouted.
"Brother, I, I was wrong, you get up first, I can't breathe." The thief handed a mobile phone to the big man,
This big man was wearing an apron and seemed to be a vendor from a nearby night market. Just when Qin Nan wanted to see what was going on, the green light turned on and Wu Haotian stepped on the accelerator.
Qin Nan could only sigh, narrowed his eyes slightly, and wanted to lie down for a while.
Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, and then he immediately opened his eyes, sat up in a daze and said to Wu Haotian.
"Let's go to the Liang family first!"
"It's so late, why are we going there?" Wu Haotian asked doubtfully.
"Do you remember what Liang Shouzhu said? He said that the last date for him to repay the debt is after New Year's Day, and it is also related to the Agate Casino. I suspect that they will be in danger." Qin Nan said with a frown.
When Wu Haotian heard this, he stepped on the accelerator. Fortunately, it didn't snow today, and the mountain road drove faster. After about half an hour,
Wu Haotian parked the car outside the Liang family yard.
The two got out of the car, and just when Qin Nan wanted to go in first to investigate, Wu Haotian motioned to him not to move yet, because he was drunk and was afraid that he would be in danger.
Qin Nan followed Wu Haotian. At this time, the door of the Liang family was half-open, which made them feel that something was wrong, because according to rural customs, someone died in the family.
The door must be open, otherwise the soul of the deceased cannot get out, and the door that was always open is indeed in a half-closed state at this time.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, the surrounding leaves rustled, and there was also a creaking sound from the yard gate over there that made people get goosebumps.
Wu Haotian approached the door little by little. He pressed lightly against the door and looked through the gaps to see what was going on inside. He only saw a few pieces of white cloth floating in the yard.
A few white copper round banknotes were blown up in the air, which looked very strange. Wu Haotian and Qin Nan listened carefully to the movement inside, but it was so quiet inside that it made people feel a little scared.
Wu Haotian swallowed and pushed open the creaking wooden door bit by bit. When the half wooden door was fully opened, Qin Nan and Wu Haotian's eyes widened.
Because in front of Liang Kaiping's coffin, six people were lying neatly and horizontally. Their faces were covered with a white cloth. Only the dead would cover their faces with white cloth.
It looked like a scene from a horror movie, but Qin Nan was an atheist. He looked around, slowly walked to the six people, and lifted up all the white cloth on their faces.
When he opened the first white cloth, he found that the person lying in front of him was Liang Xuemei...
