Chapter 152 Xieyue Street
Ji Hongcai said: "Actually, you should go to the field investigation. You can do it yourself. If necessary, I will ask Gongcao to pay you some funds." Not to mention anything else, Ji Hongcai has never treated Qin Lang badly in his treatment, and it is not that he does not know Qin Lang's background. Now with Chen Qiongnian's promotion, the case of the Demon-Suppressing Department has become insignificant. As long as the court does not urge him, Ji Hongcai has nothing to worry about. If Qin Lang is willing to go out to relax, he will approve the funds.
Sang Jingtian's godson, suspected to be Chen Qiunian's illegitimate son, cannot afford to offend either of these two identities.
Qin Lang said: "It's not urgent. Lord Chen has just been promoted to the Minister of Revenue. If we publicly investigate the Demon Sect, we wouldn't be upset to him."
Ji Hongcai pointed at Qin Lang and said, "I admire you, a young man who is aware of the general, who is calm and considers it carefully. Of course, it is not convenient for public investigation." He thought to himself that he was Chen Qiunian's illegitimate son, and Chen Qiunian has not come out to deny it yet. Is it true that his son is only natural to protect his father, and rumors are spreading. Chen Qiunian has not come out to clarify, and the more he thinks about it, the more likely it is.
Qin Lang said: "During the investigation, I found that the matter of the Demon-Shenzhen Department was involved in a wide range of matters. I am afraid that it will not be clear in a short period of time. The court did not ask us to solve the case within a specified period, right?"
Ji Hongcai shook his head and found that although this kid was young, his mind was not simple at all: "No, so you have plenty of time to check slowly. I will hold on to you about the above things." This sentence showed his support for Qin Lang, and also hinted to Qin Lang that if you reveal any leaks, I will not be responsible.
Qin Lang sighed secretly that Chen Qiongnian's evaluation of Ji Hongcai was good at all, and he was just a slippery man.
Qin Lang came out of the Demon Suppression Department and met Wang Houting who came to find him. Wang Houting looked sad. After asking, he found out that his friend Zhao Xuecai was suddenly sick and died of illness shortly after being arrested. The body had been taken back by his family. Wang Houting found that there was a obvious mark on Zhao Xuecai's neck and thought that his death was strange, so he came to Qin Lang to take a look.
Qin Lang screamed that Gu Xiefei was together, and the three of them walked towards Zhao Xuecai's house.
Zhao Xuecai's home is not far from Danqingfang. There is a 70-year-old mother in the family, and her wife has two sons. The whole family is directed at Zhao Xuecai, the pillar of Zhao Xuecai. Zhao Xuecai died, and it was like the sky collapsed for them.
Seeing the tragic situation of the Zhao family, several people felt unbearable. Zhao Xuecai was just an ordinary painter, but he caused a murderous disaster because of his greed.
Before Zhao Xuecai was buried, he received the consent of the Zhao family and asked the Zhao family to temporarily avoid it. Wang Houting was accompanied outside, and Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei were responsible for inspecting the bodies.
They checked Zhao Xuecai's body. Gu Xiefei found the cause of Zhao Xuecai's death without much effort. There was a bruise on his neck. It was obvious that he was strangled to death. The marks were very wide and almost covered the entire neck. Such obvious scars were judged as a sudden illness and that there must be dereliction of duty. At the same time, it also shows that the death of a painter was simply insignificant.
Gu Xiefei only took a look and ruled out the possibility of the rope and whispered: "Tail, the tail of the fox demon." He began to search carefully on the corpse to see if there were any clues such as hair.
Qin Lang suddenly felt his fingers numb. He looked down and saw a slight light from his fingertips. A hazy shadow appeared in the corner of the wall. When he looked closely, the shadow looked very much like Zhao Xuecai. Qin Lang realized that it was Zhao Xuecai's soul body. It turned out that Zhao Xuecai's soul had not dissipated after his death, so he forced himself to return home. Because Qin Lang was pregnant with a white bone pen, he approached Zhao Xuecai's body, and his soul body was worried that it would be sucked in the dark, so he escaped and had to appear in front of the two of them.
Zhao Xuecai's soul screamed miserably: "Why do you and I have no resentment and no revenge?"
Qin Lang put his hands behind him. In fact, he had mastered the basic usage of Shenming, and could be free to absorb soul power. Doing so only makes Zhao Xuecai's soul body feel at ease, and he whispered: "Are you Zhao Xuecai?"
Gu Xiefei didn't expect that Zhao Xuecai's ghost would appear in broad daylight, but the dim light in the mourning hall where the corpse was temporarily stored was not much different from that at night. After a little thought, he guessed that it should be Qin Lang's reason.
Qin Lang said: "You don't have to be afraid, we are here to help you..."
"Don't lie to me, I know you, you are Qin Lang, I died in vain because of your affairs." Zhao Xuecai looked at Qin Lang with a deep grudge.
Gu Xiefei said: "I have to say justice. You are doing nothing in vain to do Qin Lang? If you are not greedy for ill-gotten wealth and drawing those unsightly scene pictures, how could you suffer this disaster?"
Zhao Xuecai was thoughtful by him and started to whimper in a low voice. He cried so hard that it was so ugly. No wonder everyone said that he was crying and howling. It was too late to regret it now.
Gu Xiefei said: "Stop crying, do you want to attract your family? Do you want to scare them to be willing?"
Zhao Xuecai sobbed for a moment, and his crying came to an abrupt end.
"Zhao Xuecai, we know that you died unjustly. Who killed you? Tell me, and we will help you seek justice."
Zhao Xuecai's fingers dotted and painted in the void, and soon a portrait radiating light and shadow appeared in front of them. Zhao Xuecai was a painter when he was alive, and his level had reached the level of painting bones. He now simply consumed his soul power to complete the portrait.
Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei recognized the person in the portrait at the same time as Chihu Ji Congliang.
Gu Xiefei said: "I guessed it was him. Did you know him in the past?"
Zhao Xuecai said: "He and I met at Ruyun Pavilion."
Qin Lang glanced at Gu Xiefei, and Gu Xiefei whispered: "The brothel is not far from where we live..." He accidentally let out a joke.
Qin Lang responded with full of contempt.
Zhao Xuecai said: "He is a regular customer there, and he will go to find Miss Hongyu almost every time. I think you may find clues from there..." His soul power was weak, and his figure began to become increasingly faint. He grabbed the last time and said: "I buried two jars of gold under the water tank at home. You tell my family about this... it should be enough to raise the... two children to adulthood..." After all, he had hidden many years of private money.
After saying this, his soul body also disappeared into the air.
Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei called Wang Houting and told him about Jinzi. Although Wang Houting was surprised, he did not ask how they knew.
After Qin Lang and Gu Xiefei left the Zhao family, they headed straight to the Yun Pavilion. It seems that the Red Fox Ji Congliang liked to hide in places like brothels and brothels. Gu Xiefei was familiar with the road and took Qin Lang straight to Xieyue Street. According to his words, he did come here, but he just came to this famous fireworks place in Yongdu. As for the Yun Pavilion, it was precisely the most representative fun place. He hasn't even been in the family yet. It's not that he doesn't want to enter, but because he has no money.
Qin Lang did not go into the deeper, and the two decided to be courtesy first and then soldiers. Gu Xiefei first played the role of the client who was looking for flowers and inquired about Liu, and first entered the Ruyun Pavilion to turn over the red jade brand. If it didn't work, Qin Lang would go in as an official identity to search.
After hearing about Qin Lang's distribution plan, Gu Xiefei was pretending to be polite and polite: "I have no experience in this area, and I am thin-skinned. What if the girl Hongyu has a true love for me?"
Qin Lang grabbed Gu Xiefei's chubby hand and said, "Lao Gu, our main task today is to find out where Ji Congliang is. This guy is the key to our breaking the deadlock, so..."
Gu Xiefei nodded before he could finish his words and said, "I understand, you want me to feel wronged. Oh, I really don't want to take on this difficult task, but whoever makes us brotherly love deeply, I will sacrifice it for you, but I have no money in my pocket and can't be tough."
Qin Lang saw this guy with a heroic look on his face and seemed to want to kick his big ass.
When you go to such a place, you must bring silver. Qin Lang took a few gold leaves from the Ruyi gourd. Anyway, it was to investigate the case. He looked back and found a name to go to Tiance Mansion to reimburse him.
Gu Xiefei entered Ruyun Pavilion with golden leaves holding his head and raised his chest. The two agreed to meet in half an hour. If Gu Xiefei didn't show up, Qin Lang would go in to find him. Taking advantage of this, Qin Lang walked around Ruyun Pavilion and observed the surrounding environment.
Ruyun Pavilion ranks first in Yongdu brothels because the emperor passed away, and the business of brothels is generally not good now. The dignitaries and nobles are currently very low-key. No one will be too high-profile at this sensitive moment. Ordinary people do not have the ability to consume.
Anyway, it was still early, Qin Lang browsed the entire Xieyue Street. This street with brothels was built in antique. The streets were not as vulgar as he imagined, but rather seemed quiet and elegant. It is estimated that people who come here generally have a high level and have begun to pursue high-end spiritual enjoyment.
There are almost every door in front of the door, and there are no madams and doormen who are recruiting business. There are a few young and drooping girls standing at the door of several houses, with pink makeup and clear water. When Qin Lang saw Qin Lang, he just smiled slightly and had a reserved expression. If he hadn't known where this place was in advance, he would have thought he had entered a wealthy family.
Because Xieyue Street was deserted, Qin Lang was worried that the way he would walk back and forth to attract the attention of others. It was still early, so he went to eat nearby and spent the time. Half an hour passed in a flash, but he didn't see Gu Xiefei coming out on the left and waited on the right. Waiting for Gu Xiefei or was he happy to see him?
Qin Lang had to enter the Ruyun Pavilion according to the second plan agreed upon in advance.
Before he could enter, he saw Gu Xiefei walking out of the inside with a red light. The two met head-on. Gu Xiefei was a little embarrassed and smiled sneakily.
Qin Lang turned around and left with him, and after staying away from Ruyun Pavilion, he whispered: "How?"
Gu Xiefei said: "Not here."
"Why have you been there for so long?"
