MTL - Perfect Encounter-Chapter 59
If it was before, Qi Zheng didn't care about it, but since Aunt Lu asked him about Mr. Xie or the young master, he paid special attention to it. This young man should be regarded as suspicious.
Maybe this young man is the reason why the casino is deserted. They are blocking customers, maybe they don't want more people to see this young man. Of course, these were all guesses by Qi Zheng himself.
But Qi Zheng felt that this was a good time again, and everyone's attention was on the guests, so he secretly went to the secret room to check, no one should have noticed.
So Qi Zheng went. There was no accident this time, he turned on the mechanism smoothly and walked into the secret passage.
It was dark in the secret passage, only the light from the torch on the wall. Qi Zheng was so nervous that he could hear his own heartbeat as he walked.
There was no one in the secret passage, and when he passed by those secret rooms, he checked, and there was no one there. One of the largest rooms is quite luxuriously furnished, with all kinds of beds, tables and chairs, and it is no problem for people to live in it. There is also a room that looks like a pharmacy, with lattice cabinets against the wall, and drawers with each grid, which is somewhat similar to the pharmacy outside. There are also several rooms that seem to be used for confinement, with thick chains on the walls. Qi Zheng thought of the son who was killed, and got goosebumps.
He kept going down, and before he knew it, he came to the end, which also looked like the back of a cabinet, which was somewhat similar to the back of the door of a secret room in a gambling house.
You won't come back in a circle, will you?
Qi Zheng carefully touched the door behind the door, it seemed that the wood was unusual. Accidentally, I touched the switch, and the door swung open. Qi Zheng was startled, and quickly hid to the side. The door opened, but there was no sound from outside. Qi Zheng waited and waited, but nothing happened. He looked out and found that it was a study-like room.
Never seen it, don't know where it is.
Qi Zheng carefully rummaged through the desk drawers and looked at the bookcases. He only regretted that he didn't practice many Chinese characters, and he didn't know most of the characters. Otherwise, it would be great if he could find out some list or evidence. However, the pharmacy in the secret room might have hidden poison, but how could it attract the government to search it.
Qi Zheng was thinking like this, when he suddenly heard footsteps outside the study window. Qi Zheng was so frightened that he quickly squatted down. Then he heard someone talking, it was Liu Ze's voice, and he told his servants to be more vigilant and cheer up.
Qi Zheng felt strange, why should he be vigilant? He quietly looked out of the window and found that it was a big house, which he had never seen before, maybe it was Boss Liu's mansion. Qi Zheng frowned, is it really Boss Liu's house? Did his mansion build a secret road to connect with the gambling house? !
Qi Zheng watched Liu Ze walk away, and quickly turned back to the desk, or find a few things like registers or ledgers to take away first, and ask Aunt Lu to look at them, maybe they can be evidence.
As he was turning over, he heard a "click", and the hairs all over Qi Zheng's body stood on end. He bent down instinctively, and then heard a "swish", the sound of the secret room door opening.
Qi Zheng's blood froze all over his body.
He heard the footsteps of many people, and Lou Zhi's voice said: "Don't act rashly, follow my orders. The five of you follow me, and the others wait here first. When we call, you come here .”
Qi Zheng was so frightened that cold sweat ran down his cheeks.
Then came the sound of the study door opening and closing. A few footsteps went out, and a few stayed. Qi Zheng tried his best to crawl under the desk without making a sound. As soon as he reached the bottom of the table, the chair next to him lying on his stomach was removed.
Qi Zheng watched helplessly that there was nothing covering the bottom of the table, and was really afraid that those people would bend down to have a look.
Liu Ze stayed alone in the back room of the mourning hall, and he was feeding medicine to Zhao Jiahua in the coffin.
The pill melted into water, and Zhao Jiahua could swallow it. She opened her eyes slightly at this time, breathing weakly.
After Liu Ze finished feeding the medicine, he put the medicine bowl on the table beside him, and said softly to Zhao Jiahua, "I know you are not feeling well, but there is nothing you can do. After drinking the medicine, you will have some strength in a while. I will take you out of here today. Don’t blame me, I don’t blame you anymore. In the past, I was not good and my temper was too big, but if I didn’t, now you and I are dead. He won’t let us go Yes. You are right. Maybe An Ruochen is useful. She got rid of Mr. Min. I will take you far away and live in other places. After going through this, we have shared weal and woe, so don’t be angry with me gone."
"Who is angry with Brother Xian?" A rough voice suddenly sounded, startling Liu Ze.
Liu Ze turned around and saw Lou Zhi. He was only thinking about Zhao Jiahua just now, but he didn't notice someone coming in.
Liu Ze's heart stopped beating, but he recovered quickly, and said with a smile, "Why is big brother here?"
Lou Zhi looked at him, then at the coffin, and said, "I have something to ask you."
Liu Zedao: "Okay, let's go to the study and talk."
"Just say it here."
Lou Zhi said that he wanted to go to the coffin, but Liu Ze came up to him and stopped him. "My wife has gone, don't disturb her. Let's go out and talk."
"They're all dead, so why bother?" Lou Zhi said rudely.
Liu Ze frowned, feeling ominous in his heart.
An Ruochen kept staring in the direction of Liu's residence and the gambling house, wondering why the gambling house stopped the customers from entering. There is no reason to have money and not make money, unless there are some arrangements. An Ruochen frowned, regretting that she couldn't see more places, couldn't keep an eye on the movement inside.
Just thinking about whether to do something, suddenly a person sat down in front of him.
An Ruoxi.
An Ruochen frowned in surprise.
An Ruoxi looked out following An Ruochen's gaze, but couldn't see anything special, so she asked, "What is sister doing?"
"Why are you here?"
"Come out for a stroll, and see my sister actually wandering around, it's not something my sister would do." An Ruoxi looked like "I've got a handle on you". "I've been waiting for a long time, but I haven't seen my sister come out, so I came up to have a look."
"It's not convenient to talk to my sister today, you should go."
"Really?" An Ruoxi looked unhappy, "Is it convenient to talk to me when my sister greets me and asks me to arrive at any time?" She leaned back and posed I will not take the attitude of what you can do, "Master Qian came to the house yesterday and asked about my sister. If I tell him that I feel that my sister is a little weird and seems to be doing something shady and sneaky, what do you say?" What will happen?"
"I'll throw you into the jail, and I'll let you out when you learn to control your mouth." An Ruochen said sternly.
An Ruoxi's face sank: "You really think you are something special, you are the one who opened the yamen, and you can lock whoever you say?"
"Don't say whether I can lock you up, just say that you provoke me like this, what good is it?" An Ruochen stared at her and shook her head: "Why haven't you learned to be smarter, you still think you are at home, Daddy said Forget it, your mother has the final say?"
An Ruoxi choked, and said coldly: "Could it be that someone who treats you with a low eyebrow is smarter?"
"Yes." An Ruochen stopped looking at her, and continued to stare at Liu Mansion and the casino, "At least it won't do you any harm."
An Ruoxi followed her gaze, but still didn't see anything tricky. She turned her head to stare at An Ruochen, and said, "If you want to use me, you have to make it clear."
"I told you to leave quickly, didn't I make it very clear?" An Ruochen was really angry. Just as he was about to chase her away again, he saw the back door of Liu's residence suddenly opened, and a person seemed to rush out, but was pulled back again.
An Ruochen was startled, stood up and ran downstairs. An Ruoxi didn't see what happened just now, she didn't know why, so she ran along and shouted, "What are you doing?"
Liu Ze looked at Lou Zhi for a while in the mourning hall, and finally dragged him to a chair, and sat down with him facing each other.
"I don't know if there is anything you want to ask me, brother?"
"I wanted to ask why the bell was hung up. Didn't we make an appointment to do it together on the first seven days? An Ruochen and Mr. Min were both attracted, and the funeral was messy. It's hard to say who got mixed up among the guests , in short, Xizuo wanted to deal with An Ruochen, but both of them died, and others were implicated. Isn't it all settled?"
"The matter of Li Xiu'er is too much trouble, and the situation is getting out of control. I am worried that Mr. Min will blame him, and things will be difficult to deal with later. So we have to keep him steady."
"Then why did you hide it from me and didn't discuss it with me?"
"I didn't intend to hide it from you. I was planning to discuss it with you, and you came here. Last night, An Ruochen came to me. She said that General Long was coming back soon. She found a clue about Mr. Min and asked me to confess. I have nothing. Said, she has no choice. But Mr. Min is a future trouble, we have to solve him as soon as possible. "
"What clue did she find?"
"She recognized Mr. Min and knew that he was a frequent customer of my restaurant. So she came to press me last night and tried to use Li Xiu'er's case to force me to speak. She said that Li Xiu'er was in her hands."
"What?" Lou Zhi was startled.
"She said that Li Xiu'er knew many things. So she found clues to Mr. Min."
Lou Zhi frowned: "Matchmaker Xu has an unreliable mouth."
"But Matchmaker Xu doesn't know us." Liu Ze said.
Lou Zhi thought about it.
"That's why we can protect ourselves only by getting rid of Mr. Min and An Ruochen." Liu Ze said earnestly, "I'm planning to talk to you, or I can take advantage of this time to arrest Min at Guanliu Pavilion first. , and then led An Ruochen to a place and killed them together. When General Long returns, everything will be over."
"But I have another question." Lou Zhi said, "Since he is dead, why do he still need to take medicine?"
Liu Ze was taken aback, followed Lou Zhi's gaze, and realized what he was talking about.
The bowl he used to feed Zhao Jiahua medicine was placed on the small table next to the coffin.
"You said I walked over now, did I see a dead person or a living person in the coffin?"
Liu Ze froze.
"You arranged so many flowers in this mourning hall. It is reasonable to say that it is to cover up the smell of corpses. But now, it seems to me to cover up that there is no smell of corpses at all."
Liu gritted his teeth. Because he is so exquisite, he didn't know what to say for a while.
Lou Zhidao: "To tell you the truth, your guess is absolutely correct. Mr. Min really thinks that your situation is too dangerous and will bring big trouble to the whole plan. You are very important, so you must not fall into Long Teng's hands .Especially after the siblings started approaching An Ruochen, the danger was obvious. So he wanted to kill you. You, and your wife. "
