Chapter 13 Famous Detective Huang Donglai (Part 1)

Huang Donglai bought tickets when he went to the High-speed Railway Branch this time. Although it was not directly to Luoyang, he could go directly to Xuzhou from Luzhou.

It just so happened that the horses he and Sun Yixie got from the bandits were already a little tired, so it was time to change them.

He originally planned to stay in Luzhou for one night today, prepare some elixirs in the inn room, sell the two horses tomorrow morning, and then set off on the high-speed rail bus in the morning.

Unexpectedly... After he bought the ticket, he went to the pharmacy to get the medicinal materials, and when he returned to the inn, he found that there were a large group of people watching the fun at the entrance of the inn for some reason.

Huang Donglai squeezed through the crowd and walked in. Just as he was about to step into the door, he was stopped by two officials.

"Hey hey, what are you doing? Didn't you see us handling the case here?" Although the official who stopped Huang Donglai had a low position, his tone of speaking was quite good and his authority.

"I live here." Huang Dong replied.

"Oh?" As soon as he heard this, the official's face changed a little. "Live here?" He looked Huang Donglai up and down, "Which room do you live in?"

"Walk to the bottom of the second floor." Huang Donglai said.

"What?" As soon as he heard this, the official howled, "Brothers! Take this down quickly!"

Before he finished speaking, five or six officials rushed out from somewhere, and rushed towards Huang Donglai without saying a word.

Huang Donglai thought to himself that he had done nothing, how could he just surrender?

He didn't say anything, holding the medicinal materials in one hand, and using one hand to make a move with the other, he cleaned up the people in just a few seconds.

These officials and yamen runners are actually not much different from those of the bandits in Zoumazhai, or even worse, because when the yamen recruited yamen runners, they were basically selected from local gangsters.

Of course... the despicable one is not good either. What the yamen needs is a hooligan who has qualifications, a certain reputation and connections. Only such a person can conquer the good people, scare the foolish people, and play with the unruly people.

But these officials can only deal with ordinary people. When they meet people like Huang Donglai, who are famous families, there is nothing they can do.

At this time, the "head catcher" needs to take action.

The captain is not something that ordinary gangsters can do... at least they must be people with font sizes on the Green Forest Road, or knights who were once famous in the world, or coaches transferred from the army, etc.

Therefore, the headmaster's martial arts and ability to do things are incomparable to ordinary yamen runners.

In addition, the head catches are also of different sizes.

Some big sects just need to report their names, even the heads of high sects have to give them three points of face; while some small sects have to pay for their wontons after eating at the roadside stalls in their jurisdiction...

This is the captain Zhou of Luzhou Cheng County, and his martial arts are not big or small.

Today he personally led the team to handle the case. When he heard the noise downstairs, he quickly led people to rush down. As a result, he happened to see Huang Donglai knocking his subordinates down.

"Stop!" Captain Zhou's words were actually nonsense. Even if his subordinates wanted to do it, they could not beat him. But when they said this, it felt like he had sold Huang Donglai a favor.

"This young hero..." Captain Zhou saw Huang Donglai's age and skills and knew that this person must be from the world, and most of them were famous. Therefore, he paid great attention to his tone when speaking, tried to be as decent as the official family, and gave the other party some face. In short, it was neither humble nor arrogant. "...I am the captain of Luzhou City, with his surname Zhou and his name was Wu, and he had not yet asked for advice..."

"Huangmen in Shuzhong, Huang Donglai." Huang Donglai did nothing wrong, and had no reason to hide anything. He immediately put his fists and bowed his name.

"It turns out that it is the young master of the Huang Sect, who is disrespectful." Captain Zhou also bowed his fists and returned, "My subordinates are clumsy and are reckless in their work. I hope Mr. Huang will forgive me." When he said this, he glanced at the subordinates who were still lying on the ground and pretending that they could not afford to be beaten again, and said sternly, "Okay! Get up, everyone, they have already shown mercy to their subordinates, don't pretend to be embarrassed."

Huang Donglai did show mercy. After all, these are officials, not bandits. If he really wants to make a fuss, he will not be able to explain.

"Captain Zhou is so serious." Seeing that the other party is very proud, Huang Donglai naturally wants to give him a step forward. "You guys are also doing business, and I hope you can forgive me for being rude."

Although they are all nonsense that is too fake, both sides still have to make the whole story complete. Only by giving each other enough face to the people watching the fun can they sit down and talk slowly; otherwise... either these officials will not be able to raise their heads in front of the people from now on, or Huang Donglai will fight with the government until he finally gets into a feud with the court.

To put it short, after the performance of both sides, Captain Zhou invited Huang Donglai to the inn to discuss in detail.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Huang Donglai entered, he saw Sun Yixie squatting in the corner of the inn lobby wearing a pair of shackles. His trident had been confiscated by an official next to him.

"Hey? Brother Sun, why are you handcuffing it?" Huang Donglai immediately looked at Sun Yixi with some gloating grudge and smiled.

"Shut up!" Sun Yixie replied unhappily, "I deliberately did not resist in order to cooperate with the official to handle the case!"

"Oh..." Huang Donglai said again, "So what are you doing? Have you peeked at the female guest taking a shower?"

"Get out!" Sun Yixie said, "I did nothing! Hurry up and ask them to let go of me!"

Huang Donglai did not answer his words, but looked at Captain Zhou and said, "Brother Zhou, this is my brother. I wonder what he has done. Do you want to lock him up?"

"Oh? So it's your friend of Mr. Huang?" Captain Zhou turned his head and looked at Sun Yixie for a few seconds, then looked at Huang Donglai and said, "That's right, there was a murder in the southeast corner of the second floor. We came to investigate after receiving the news..." He paused, "When interrogating the guests, I saw him carrying Qimen weapons and his eyebrows were scattered..." Captain Zhou blurted out, but he felt it was not appropriate halfway, so he swallowed it back, "...I thought he was a little suspicious, so I found someone to handcuff him and wanted to take him back to the yamen to ask questions."

This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content later! "Mom! You don't have any evidence, you can judge people by their appearance and handcuff them. Are there any other kingly laws?" Sun Yixie immediately made a complaint after listening.

But one thing is to say, when the king's laws were implemented in specific terms, there was a lot of room for operability...

You must have power and power. Even if the government has evidence to prove that you have violated the law, you must ask your superiors repeatedly before coming to arrest you. You must even wait for the servants to come in and report: "Master, someone has come to the government and say you want to ask you back and ask."

If you have a bad life, then I'm sorry. There are no arrest warrants and search warrants in modern society. Three or five officials kicked your door in, handcuffed it and left, and dared to resist and beat the lame on the spot.

"Haha... Brother Zhou misunderstood." Huang Donglai said, "Although my brother doesn't look like an honest man, he is indeed not a bad person. Maybe you have heard of it... He is the son of Sun Yuanwai, Sun Yixie, a giant fish market student."

It doesn't matter whether you have heard it or not. Having said that, even if Captain Zhou has never heard of Sun Yixie's name, he will pretend to have heard it, and then pretend to be a misunderstanding and let him go.

After Sun Yixi was untied and took back the trident, the three of them sat down and talked about it.

As the saying goes, no coincidence can be made. After hearing Captain Zhou’s remarks, Huang Donglai realized that the guest who died on the second floor of the inn today was He Da.

A few days ago, after He Da took out the money from Zeng's mansion, he did not leave Luzhou City. He just found an inn to stay and never left the inn. This is what the shopkeepers and the hall here can testify.

But no one knows why He Da is like this.

Until today, when the guy went in to deliver dinner to him, he found that He Da was already lying on the ground and was exhausted, so the inn quickly went to the yamen to report the case.

The gang of men were also unlucky. They just went to Zeng Mansion to carry the body in the afternoon. They returned to the stool and had not sat in the hot water. There was another murder case coming to the door, so they had to come out and run again.

As for what case should be done after Captain Zhou leads the team to the scene... it is also simple and crude.

He ordered people to block the entrances and exits, then knock on the door of each room in the inn, and catch up if there is any suspicious thing before talking. If there is any doubt, you have to interrogate the unsuspecting thing to see if there are any flaws in your words.

Sun Yixie...was caught in this process.

After listening to what Captain Zhou said, Huang Donglai told Brother Sun about the "ghost story" that he heard the old man on the roadside not long ago. At the same time, he also asked about the authenticity of the story of Captain Zhou. After all, according to the old man, the whole story originally flowed out from Zeng Su, the housekeeper of the Zeng family, and the first person to listen to this story was Captain Zhou.

As a result, Zhou Wu also confirmed that the content was basically true, but those vivid and immersive depictions... Anyway, he didn't hear it when he heard it.

Obviously...that was because the people added fuel to the rumor and polished themselves in the process of spreading rumors, which is also a common thing.

After the three of them talked about this, Zhou Wu saw that the time was almost right, so he finally spoke: "Brother Huang, Zhou has something to ask for, but he just doesn't know if... is it right to say it."

"Brother Zhou, but it's okay." Huang Donglai continued, "As long as I'm within my ability, Dong Zu should do his best to help."

At this time, the names between Huang Donglai and Zhou Wu were also very close, which showed that the two sides had a happy conversation, and Zhou Wu was also considered a friend who could make.

"Su asked about the Huangmen in Shu, and there are so-called 'three wonders'..." Zhou Wu then said, "There are light skills, hidden weapons, and... poison."

"No," Huang Donglai replied.

"Well..." Zhou Wu nodded, "I looked at the crime scene before and found that He Da, who died of poisoning in the room, died of poisoning..."

"Oh?" Huang Donglai raised his eyebrows and said, "Does Brother Zhou doubt me..."

"No, no." Zhou Wudao, "How could this happen..."

This is the truth, because Huang Donglai had no motivation at all, and there was absent proof. Let's take a step back... With Huang Donglai's martial arts, killing He Da does not require poison, and there is no need to return to the scene of the crime after killing people.
