Demon detective

Chapter 74 Opportunity
It's past noon.

Xu Zhen was walking home alone.

It stands to reason that the case has just been taken over and the situation is so urgent, he should stay in the Yamen and continue to take command.

However, he didn't sleep all night last night, and now he feels exhausted physically and mentally, and urgently needs a good rest.

Therefore, he planned to go home and take a nap at noon, and then return to the Yamen to continue in the afternoon.

Anyway, the yamen is very close to home, and he has already assigned the tasks properly, even if he stays in the yamen, he is just waiting for news feedback, it is better to recharge his energy first.

This time, Shen Yu did not follow him, but stayed in the Yamen to wait for orders.

Xu Zhen told her that if there is a major situation, she should come over and inform him immediately.

On the way, Xu Zhen saw a shop selling sliced ​​cakes on the street, so Xu Zhen bought two of them.

Because it is very close to home, Youmeng usually prepares lunch for Xu Zhen. If Xu Zhen doesn't come back, he will keep it until the evening.

Carrying sliced ​​cakes in hand, walking on the road, although physically and mentally exhausted, Xu Zhen's mind was still spinning like a gear.

That's right, regarding this case, he could have put it aside, watched it coldly, and watched how Song Zhili ended up.

After all, Song Zhili once wanted his own life!

However, after careful analysis and weighing the pros and cons, Xu Zhen still agreed to him. The main reason for this was that Xu Zhen saw an opportunity!
First of all, taking this case by myself means accepting an order in the face of danger.

Once this crisis can be resolved, the relationship between him and his superiors can be improved, allowing him to gain a real foothold in the Yamen.

Moreover, if he could really save the son and miss of the Song family, Song Zhili would owe him a big favor, which might be useful in the future.

Furthermore, the son and miss of the Song family are really innocent, so Xu Zhen naturally does not want to see the two children die innocently.

Secondly, the abnormality of the captor Cheng Xiao also gave Xu Zhen an opportunity.

If he can solve the case by himself, then maybe he can take Cheng Xiao's place and stand up in the house of arrest.

As long as you become a head catcher, you will have the opportunity to get rid of the bad habits of the catchers and restrain them from doing things that are harmful to nature and reason.

The reason why he thinks this way is not that Xu Zhen has such a great ideal. He knows that it is impossible to change the whole world with the power of only one person.

However, he knows that if he does not strive for the top, then even survival will become an ideal.

In the end, the main reason why Xu Zhen accepted this case was actually the case itself!

Xu Zhen likes challenges. The more difficult the case is, the more excited he is.

The ghost-faced killer 13 years ago had already aroused his strong curiosity. Even if Song Zhili didn't look for him, he wouldn't really stand by and watch.

Of course, Xu Zhen thinks comprehensively and doesn't just think about good things.

He had already considered that even if he couldn't complete the task after thirteen days, there might not be any loss.

I was originally a small policeman, so it was normal for me not to be able to solve such a big case. Except for Song Zhili, no one would blame me.

As for Song Zhili, when the time comes, he will definitely be messed up by the monk, so what if he blames himself?

The big deal is to sell the house by yourself and get out of the wrong place.

Besides...

Xu Zhen narrowed his eyes and became more and more excited.

Because he had a feeling that the ghost-faced killer case seemed bizarre and unsolvable, but in fact it was like a layer of window paper, as long as he found the right breakthrough, he could pierce it with one finger!
However, where is this breakthrough...

Just as Xu Zhen was thinking about it, he had already returned to his door.

However, as soon as he got home, he was taken aback!
not good!

Unexpectedly, the door of my house was open!
One of the panels, even the hinges, had fallen off and was on one side.

Obviously, the door was broken open violently!
"what……"

The next second, a woman's exclamation came from the yard, it was her little daughter-in-law who had a dream.

Depend on!
Xu Zhen hurried forward and rushed into the yard as fast as he could.

"No, no, it's mine..."

But I saw five men dressed as gangsters standing in the yard, surrounding Youmeng, and one of them, a thin man with a goatee, was fighting for a jade pendant with Youmeng!
Although Youmeng was young, he held on to the jade pendant tightly, and the skinny man snatched it for a long time without taking it away.

"I'll go to you!"

In embarrassment, the thin man raised his left foot and kicked Youmeng to the ground!
"Wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu

"Hey? Damn..." The thin man looked at his empty hands and cursed angrily, "Don't talk about a broken jade pendant, even you little beauty will have to buy it for us to pay off our debt sooner or later..."

After speaking, he violently rushed towards Youmeng!

Just when he was about to meet Youmeng, Xu Zhen rushed forward. He first grabbed the thin man's collar, pressed the thin man's arm with both hands, and flung the thin man away!
Gululu... The skinny man rolled on the ground and hit the water tank on his back.

"Ouch!"

The thin man let out a cry of pain, and quickly got up from the ground. When he saw that the person who threw him down was actually Xu Zhen, his face immediately revealed a fierce look.

At the same time, the other gangsters all raised their sticks and surrounded Xu Zhen.

"Master... woooo..." Youmeng hurriedly hid behind Xu Zhen, crying, "I've already given them the money, but they still want to grab my jade pendant... woooo..."

"It's okay, it's okay..." Xu Zhen held Youmeng behind his back with one hand, and reached into his pocket with the other hand, preparing to draw out the dagger hidden inside.

As the saying goes, the heart of defense is indispensable. When Xu Zhen realized that the environment was dangerous, he would hide a few daggers on his body every day.

At this moment, Xu Zhen's face was gloomy, his eyes were fierce, and he was already murderous!
"Xu Zhen, are you crazy? How dare you touch me?" The thin man rolled up his sleeves, came up to Xu Zhen and yelled, "Why... don't you want to live?"

Searching his mind, Xu Zhen quickly recognized that this person was Cui Xiaotian's subordinate, a small boss of Wansheng Casino who was in charge of debt collection, and people called him Erxin.

tsk...

When Xu Zhen quickly weighed the pros and cons and assessed the status quo, he couldn't help but smacked his lips.

Because after his assessment, he must not do anything now!

It's not that he can't beat these people in front of him, it's just that the forces behind these people are too powerful. If he beats them now, he will face Cui Xiaotian's crazy counterattack, and the end must be a disastrous defeat.

Maybe he was just beaten, but what if he had a dream?
Or... After beating someone, go to Wei Yulang for protection?

No, Wei Yulang is cunning, he hasn't solved his cuckold incident yet, so he probably won't offend Cui Xiaotian for himself.

So... hiding in the yamen?

It doesn't seem to be the best policy either. It is impossible for him to hide in the Yamen for a lifetime.

Although Song Zhili relies heavily on himself now, but unfortunately in Yanping County, he is not the biggest one.He may be able to protect himself temporarily, but he cannot back himself up.

At the critical moment, Xu Zhen thought of a sentence in "The Demonic Way":

"A gentleman hides his weapon in his body and moves it when the time comes. When he is humiliated by others, he does not show his color...Those who plan big things hide it in their heart and act on it..."

Yes, to solve the problem, we must solve it thoroughly. If you don’t take action, you don’t take action. If you take action, there is no room for it. You have to solve the problem fundamentally.

Ok!

After some deliberation, Xu Zhen put down the dagger in his pocket, a philistine smile gradually appeared on his gloomy face, and he clasped his fists at this person and said:
"So it's Brother Erxin! I thought there were bandits coming in at home! I'm sorry, I'm sorry...hehehehe..."
