He had no choice but to bite the bullet and move forward, using the corner of his eye to see who was threatening him with a sharp weapon.
"I'm not tall, I wear a hat, my voice is hoarse, I can't tell the difference between men and women..."
"Listen, when you go back, go to the private room on the second floor. Don't let the waiters in, and then open the window. Nod if you understand."
Zhou Shi nodded his head twice slightly.
"Don't play tricks on me, I can hold a knife to your waist now, and I can take a knife to take your head at night!"
The pain in his waist suddenly disappeared, and Zhou Shi took two more steps before looking back.
The passers-by on both sides did not notice anything unusual about him and passed him by. Where was the shadow of the mysterious figure?
"In the past two days, I have not only seen ghosts at night, but also during the day...
"That man was able to approach quietly and leave without anyone noticing. He seemed to be a master. But he didn't take my life and wanted to meet me on my property. Apparently he wasn't afraid that killing people on the road would be too conspicuous.
, but really want to discuss something with me..."
Zhou Shi thought as he walked, and as soon as he entered Fengde Building, he told Liu Xiaosi:
"I'm going to use the private room and don't let anyone disturb me."
Although Liu Xiaosi didn't know what the shopkeeper wanted to do, he still agreed.
Zhou Shi walked into the private room on the second floor with the iron abacus and account book, opened the window, thought for a while, and put the abacus on the table and spread the account book beside it.
"It's daylight now. It's too unnatural to put the iron abacus under your clothes. It will definitely be noticed by the master. Why don't you just put it on the table openly and just think it's me doing the calculations."
"The shopkeeper is really busy. Now I have to plan the exercises."
Zhou Shi was shocked and turned around, only to see an extra person on the bench which was empty just now!
How did he come in? Through the window? But this is the second floor, and below is the street with people coming and going... Zhou Shi didn't notice at all!
The man was dressed as an ordinary citizen, wearing a hat and placing one foot carelessly on the bench.
Although this person behaves rudely, his face is quite handsome, with bright eyes and white teeth.
Female?
"You are the shopkeeper of Fengde Building, right?"
"I am. Are you..."
The man took out a golden token from his arms, and Zhou Shi felt a chill in his heart.
"The gold medal agent of the Criminal Department, Zhao Xuan."
Gold medal catcher!
What's going on? Xu Baocai's affairs were discovered by the government?
"Calm down, calm down...Although Xu Baocai is very wealthy, his death is not enough to alarm the Ministry of Punishment. It should not be for him..."
But if the government finds out that monsters are involved, it will be hard to tell!
While Zhou Shi was brainstorming, Zhao Xuan spoke calmly:
"Don't be afraid. I'm just asking you a few things. As long as you answer truthfully, I won't embarrass you."
Zhou Shi tried his best to appear calm. "Excuse me, ordinary people don't dare to hide it."
But Zhao Xuan’s first question made him choke:
"What did you talk about with the owner of Yichunyuan just now?"
When did she start to take notice?
"It's nothing... It's a bit embarrassing to say that our owner of Fengde Building owed money and they withheld the money. I went to redeem him."
"Redeemed?"
"...Hmm."
"Oh?" Zhao Xuan leaned back against the wall, with an expression like a cat that has caught a mouse, "Your Fengde Building was blocked by creditors a few days ago, and in the past two days, you have been planning to do business again.
Go to the dock, where can you get twenty-five taels of silver?"
She is so well informed...
"Ahem, I really can't get it, so I begged the owner of Yichunyuan to let him go first, and I will make up the money next time."
"Haha, as the saying goes, a bitch is ruthless and an actor is unrighteous. This old bitch from Yichunyuan is very considerate. Will she agree to let her go without any money?"
Zhou Shi thought to himself that he must not tell anyone what Mrs. Hu had entrusted him with. If the gold-medal detective went back to investigate again and found out about Xu Baocai, he would also be in trouble!
"I'm not afraid of your jokes. I still have some friendship with Mrs. Hu from Yichun Garden, so she..."
"A restaurant owner has a relationship with a brothel madam? Are you lying to me?"
"How dare ordinary people..."
"You don't dare to lie to me, but you dare to lie to Mrs. Hu, saying that you are a gold medal agent of the Criminal Department? I have worked in the Criminal Department for four years, how come I don't remember what the 'iron-fisted' Yu Changren looks like like you?"
Zhao Xuan's words were like a thunderbolt, exploding in Zhou Shi's ears, and he broke into cold sweat instantly.
How did she know?
"I only thought that she was good at reasoning and well-informed. She could find out that I had negotiated with Mrs. Hu and could analyze the financial situation of Fengde Building. But she even knew about me pretending to be Yu Changren... Could it be that I and Mrs. Hu just now
When Tai was talking, was she eavesdropping outside?
Zhao Xuan leaned against the wall, her pretty face full of pride, as if she was admiring Zhou Shi's confused appearance.
"Do you think I can't keep track of my colleagues' whereabouts? I can be deceived by the illusion of two vixens? Don't act like you've seen a ghost. The smell in Yichun Garden is so fragrant that even a blind nose can be hit by it.
Sneeze."
Zhao Xuan shook her head and said: "The day before yesterday, you disguised yourself as a wealthy young man and went to Yichun Garden to investigate the death of Xu Baocai - don't refute, that's what you guys are doing. On the fourth floor, you and Mrs. Hu got into a fight, and finally
He was rescued by Yichunyuan’s number one, who was probably a relative of Mrs. Hu, and then pretended to be Yu Changren to scare Mrs. Hu not to get involved, right?”
Zhou Shi could not argue. In his eyes, the little girl with the evil smile was just like the sinister judge he once played, knowing everything.
"Master Zhao, you are really aware of everything..."
"Don't, don't praise me." Zhao Xuan suddenly raised her hand to interrupt him, then pressed her vocal cords with her hand, imitating a man's voice and said, "'You think I gave you less? You're so thin that you're almost human-like. Look at it.
It’s a disappointment!'”
This was a fatal blow. Zhou Shi felt his legs and feet were weak and quickly held on to the corner of the table.
"You are the one that day..."
"You look down on Huanhuan, that's right."
Damn! Damn this little girl!
No wonder she knew everything about what happened in Yichunyuan, it turned out that she had already infiltrated the inside!
Undercover!
Zhao Xuan said proudly: "What, if you have any more lies, tell them in one breath."
Zhou Shi almost knelt down for her, and quickly raised his hands and said: "The common people are so impressed that they fall to the ground."
He originally thought that the gold medal police officers were experts selected by the Ministry of Punishment, like Yu Changren and Ma Jiaxiang. But he overlooked one thing. The gold medal police officers must not only be able to arrest, but also be good at reasoning! Zhao Xuan is a perfect example!<
/p>
"Are you convinced?" Seeing that Zhou Shi had nothing to say, Zhao Xuan put her hands on her hips like a child and said, "Then just listen. I'm not here to arrest you this time, but to entrust you.
”
Delegate?
Zhou Shi was stunned, come again?
Zhao Xuan calmed down her complacent expression and said seriously: "According to my inference, the case of the forty-six corpses in Yichun Garden should have been committed by someone from the Yin Sect! And it was a demon from the Yin Sect who had mastered the method of refining corpses!
