Demon detective

Chapter 78 Ignore
From the sixth day, Xu Zhen started his lone ranger mode of elusive and haunted again.

First of all, he used the disguise technique in "The Demon Way" to simply change his makeup, then sneaked into the casino of Cui Xiaotian's family, and began to inquire about various news.

He soon discovered that Cui Xiaotian's power had far exceeded his imagination. The so-called 42 gambling houses did not refer to Yanping County, but the entire Song Prefecture!

You must know that it is not easy to open a casino in the Daxuan Dynasty, and you must have a powerful background and great influence.

Since Wansheng Casino can flourish everywhere in Songzhou, it means that Cui Xiaotian's influence has spread all over the state capital, no wonder even Wei Yulang wants to give him face.

This gambling house in Yanping County is where Cui Xiaotian made his fortune back then, and it can be regarded as the flagship store of Wansheng Casino.

Now, Cui Xiaotian is still focusing on expanding business in other places, so he handed over the management of this flagship casino to his eldest son Cui Meng.

Cui Xiaotian has four sons in total, all born from different wives.

Although the other three sons have grown up, they are all prodigal sons who eat, drink and play. Only the eldest son Cui Meng has inherited his dark mantle. He is a merciless and extremely dark-hearted figure.

The Erxin who asked Xu Zhen for debts was Cui Meng's subordinate.

In Yanping County, there are countless people like Xu Zhen who are enduring the violent debt collection, oppression and exploitation of Wansheng Gambling House, and almost every day there are human tragedies of family ruin and death.

The reason why Xu Zhen hasn't lost his family is because he still has a good house and his status as a policeman who can earn a dollar.

Once these two things are lost, the family will be destroyed.

In fact, there are many gambling techniques recorded in "The Way of the Demon", Yixu is really smart, so he can try it out.But now is obviously not the time, he has more important things to do.

After inquiring about the news of Wansheng Casino, he hurried to the Ziyang Palace on the outskirts, and had a cordial conversation with the Taoist priests inside for a long time...

Then, Xu Zhen returned to Workshop Street and began to inquire about news according to his own ideas...

In the evening, he first went to the scene of the kidnapping and dumping of the Ghost Face Killer case to find inspiration, and then returned to Wansheng Gambling House, where he continued to chat with people, follow up and investigate, and capture news...

Due to inquiring for too long, he didn't even go home. As soon as the next day dawned, he took his own questions and went straight to Shen Mingchen's house...

……

the seventh day.

The hour had passed, and Cheng Xiao was reporting the situation to Song Zhili in the inner hall.

"There is still no news," Cheng Xiao said worriedly, "There is almost no movement in the rivers and lakes. The monk and his accomplices should have acted independently and have not asked the locals for help."

"Alas..." Song Zhili's eyes were dark, and he was exhausted. He hardly slept for seven days, and when he heard Cheng Xiao's report, he could only sigh.

"Master Song, that..." Cheng Xiao frowned and said, "I'm afraid you should go to Cui Xiaotian and Li Sixiong's place yourself!"

"Ah?" Song Zhili's eyes widened, but they were full of passion, "They...they..."

"Cui Xiaotian is currently in Yanping, but I reported him, but he didn't see him at all, and his subordinates drove me away!" Cheng Xiao said, "I didn't even dare to go to Li Sixiong's place, because there are rumors in the world recently that Li Sixiong is dying of illness. Now, it's not the right time to go..."

Clap!

Unexpectedly, as soon as Cheng Xiao finished speaking, Song Zhili smashed the teapot into pieces.

"It's really deceiving people too much, deceiving people too much!" He was so angry that his chest heaved violently, "I am the head of a county, but I have to look at the faces of these local ruffians and bullies everywhere, what is the face, what is the majesty of the government!!? Cough Cough...cough cough cough cough..."

Because he was too excited, Song Zhili was so angry that he kept coughing.

"My lord, calm down, my lord, calm down!" Cheng Xiao said, "At present, we are still searching from house to house, so don't worry too much, let's think of a way..."

"A solution? Ahem... what else can I do?" Who knows, after Song Zhili finished shouting, he suddenly thought of Xu Zhen, and hurriedly asked, "By the way, why didn't I see Xu Zhen? Where is he?"

"Me?" Cheng Xiao shook his head, "I don't know? I didn't go to the arresting room."

"Let's go!" Song Zhili pushed the door open and strode out, "Follow me to see, what is he doing now? It's already the seventh day but..."

When he came to the arresting room, Song Zhili was furious again, but saw that several arresters in the arresting room were dozing off, only Shen Yu was not dozing off, but was also walking around anxiously.

"Where's Xu Zhen?"

Song Zhili yelled loudly, waking up the dozing police officers, causing them to kneel down in fright.

"Lord County Magistrate, Captain Cheng," Shen Yu hurried up to greet him, and said anxiously, "We are also looking for it! Brother Xu...he is gone!"

"What!?" Song Zhili was taken aback for a moment, then looked at Cheng Xiao.

Cheng Xiao quickly shrugged, saying that it had nothing to do with him.

"I didn't see anyone yesterday," Shen Yu said, "I waited all night last night... oh no... he didn't come home last night, and he hasn't come to the Yamen now. I'm really worried about him, can't it be Have you met those scattered people traveling east?"

Hearing the word Dongyou Sanren, Song Zhili's face darkened slightly, and then he hurriedly called out, "Fu Bin, where's Xiao Linzi?"

"exist!"

In the crowd, two small policemen immediately stood up.

"Didn't you tell him to stare at him?" Song Zhili roared, "Where's the person?"

"This... this..." Fu Bin and Xiao Linzi looked at each other, sweating profusely.

It seems that in order to avoid being fooled again, Song Zhili sent these two people to keep an eye on Xu Zhen early on, but it's a pity that the entrustment was not someone, how could these two people keep an eye on Xu Zhen?

"Trash, trash!" Song Zhili scolded fiercely, "What are you still doing in a daze? Hurry up and find Xu Zhen!"

"Yes!" Several police officers hurriedly stumbled and ran out, ready to find Xu Zhen.

However, just as they ran to the door, they ran into the old catcher Shen Mingchen.

"Hey? What's the matter?" Shen Mingchen wondered, "What are they doing?"

"Father?" Shen Yu rushed to meet him, "Why are you here?"

"Hey? It's really interesting," Shen Mingchen said, "Didn't Xu Zhen invite me here? What do you want from me?"

As soon as they heard Xu Zhen's words, several police officers quickly braked.

"Xu Zhen?" Shen Yu asked hurriedly, "He... When will he invite you over?"

"It's early in the morning?" Shen Mingchen said, "He went to our house to find me, and asked me to come to the Yamen at this time, saying that he had something to discuss with me. Where is he...?"

At this time, Shen Mingchen saw Song Zhili and hurriedly greeted him.

However, before Song Zhili could return the gift, a jailer from the Southern Prison suddenly ran over and said to Song Zhili, "Master Song, you are here. Xu Zhen calls you, please go to the prison!"

"What?" Song Zhili wondered, "Prison?"

……

In the dark prison cell, Xu Zhen stood close to Qi Yun, who was entangled in iron chains.

The great monk naturally showed no fear, and still stared at Xu Zhen with that murderous look in his eyes without blinking.

"Qi Yunzheng," Xu Zhen and the monk looked at each other for a long time, and then said out loud, "It's been seven days, aren't you ready to say it? If Mr. Song's child dies, it may not be good for you, right?"

"Say?" Qi Yun narrowed his eyes, "What do you want me to say?"

"Yeah," Xu Zhen took a step back and said quietly, "After we understand your reason for coming, it seems that your actions have become reasonable!

"Therefore," Xu Zhen raised the corner of his mouth, "we have all ignored a point that is actually very unreasonable."

"Oh?" Qi Yunzheng asked, "Where?"

shuh...

Xu Zhen unfolded the three blood confessions, pointed to the blood books and said, "Magistrate Tong's confession has the most words, but it is much neater than those two, but there are still alterations on it.

"What does this mean?" He asked himself and answered, "It means that Tong County Magistrate's statement was copied by you, but it was still copied wrongly. There must be something missing, something important!"

Hearing Xu Zhen's words, Qi Yunzheng's eyes suddenly changed, obviously being hit by Xu Zhen.

"That unreasonable place that we ignored," Xu Zhen said again, "is yours—surrender!!!"
