No. 7 Fish House

"You guessed it right, Qiu Minglu did pretend to be Qiu Baimei, and no one noticed when she entered the Dragon Hall several times."

Yang Mingzhen rushed to the No. [-] fish restaurant, his words were opened, and he told He Fu all the clues he had found in the past two days.Xing Ting stood beside him, dumbfounded, what Yang Mingzhen said was consistent with He Fu's previous guess.

He Fu nestled quietly on the sofa with the black cat Xiao Mi in his arms. From Yang Mingzhen's speech to the end, his expression did not change at all, as if he was not surprised at all by what Yang Mingzhen said.After a long time, I asked: "You just said that Qiu Minglu and Zhang Wei are together because she can make Zhang Weifeng win the bet?"

"Yes, Zhang Weiquan listened to Qiu Minglu's words at the gambling table, and the two made a lot of money." Yang Mingzhen scratched his head and said, "Who can guess so accurately?"

He Fu pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe she didn't guess, but she saw it with her own eyes."

"You mean that Qiuminglu's eyes can see through everything in the game?" Xing Ting made a bold guess, "Could it be that Qiuminglu is also a different person?"

Yang Mingzhen was picking up the teacup on the table to drink water. After hearing Xing Ting's words, he immediately said: "About Qiuminglu, I asked Cui Liang to check the hospital where Qiuminglu was treated. It is said that it is an eye disease."

"That's interesting." He Fu said, "A pair of eyes that can see through the game."

"Compared to this, there is one more interesting thing." Yang Mingzhen put down the water glass, "The disappearance case that shocked the whole city two years ago, only four of the 12 missing people returned safely, and the names of these four people appeared on the hell meeting list inside."

He Fu's expression changed slightly, and the pretty smile on his face disappeared. He looked into Yang Mingzhen's eyes and asked, "Who is there?"

"Xiang Chunyuan, Xia Xiaoyun, Qiu Baimei, Feng Dong. The sum of the names of these four people happens to be the 'spring, summer, autumn and winter' in the picture of the beauties in hell." Yang Mingzhen looked serious, "I suspect that the pictures of beauties in hell The purpose of appearing is to kill the four people who successfully returned from the disappearance case. Perhaps, the murderer has been lurking by our side, but I don’t understand why he took two years to kill these four people..."

When Xing Ting heard this, he suddenly felt that he didn't understand. "The disappearance case in the tea city two years ago, wasn't it just a gang of human traffickers abducting and selling women from good families? Why is this related to the current picture of beauties in hell?"

Yang Mingzhen glanced at Xing Ting. He didn't know whether he should tell the truth now, because the disappearance case in the tea city two years ago was a big deal at the time. Twelve people disappeared within a month. The police were helpless against the enemy. They were determined to use the female police officers in the police station to lure the enemy out, and went to rescue the 12 people who were tied up. The police force went to a total of 12 people, and the whole army was wiped out, leaving him alone.

The Tea City Police Department has always regarded this as a disgrace, so it declared that the kidnappers were just a gang of human traffickers.

Ordinary human trafficker gangs are not so powerful. They have never dared to say that the kidnapper is not an ordinary person. It is a monster, an invulnerable monster. No one has found that monster to this day.

"This matter is not that simple." Yang Mingzhen said, "Whether it is the disappearance case back then or the current picture of the beauties in hell, the power of criminals has exceeded my imagination. They are most likely not human beings. The current power has no way to catch this kind of non-human..."

When Xing Ting heard the word 'non-human', his heart skipped a beat. His eyes looked back and forth between Yang Mingzhen and He Fu. Could it be that Yang Mingzhen already knew that he and He Fu were strangers?

That is to say, is Yang Mingzhen doubting He Fu and himself now?

"Captain Yang, are you doubting me?"

He Fu put the black cat on the side of the sofa, he raised his head and smiled slightly, "Actually, you never believed me, every time something happened, you ran here, and you came to inform me as soon as possible, in fact, you wanted to warn me, I have always been within your surveillance range. Since this is the case, why did Captain Yang tell me these things you investigated?"

"You are not afraid that I will kill the remaining three people--" he drew the end of his voice, and a mocking smile flashed in his black eyes.

Yang Mingzhen walked towards He Fu angrily, grabbed He Fu by the collar, and lifted him up from the sofa, "Then tell me, only you and I know where Liang Ou and the child are detained, why did they escape? Shen Xiaowen told me that you were the one who went to that cell that night!"

Yang Mingzhen trusted the Shen family brothers very much, and the three of them were born and died together many times, so they were the only ones present when Liang Ou and the child were imprisoned.Naturally, the Shen family brothers would not betray themselves, so the only one who let Liang Ou go was He Fu.

"In the beginning, you said you wanted to interrogate Liang Ou, so I told you the address where she was detained. But now, she's gone!" Yang Mingzhen yelled at He Fu, "I walked out of the police station today and saw my There is a note in the car, which says that you went to that cell last night. The note was left by Shen Xiaowen, because I told him to be careful not to say redundant words in the police station. There is an inner ghost, let him write a note and put it in my car when he has something important."

Yang Mingzhen took out the note and put it on the table. It was written in black and white: He Fu visited Liang Ou last night.

Xing Ting looked at He Fu in surprise, "Did you go to prison last night? I thought I was wrong last night, so you really went out."

He remembered waking up three times last night because of a stomachache, and the last time he saw someone coming out of He Fu's room.

"The witnesses and the evidence are solid." Yang Mingzhen said, "You have to explain to me why you let Liang Ou and that child go!"

Ten days ago, they had caught the two masterminds in the 'iron worm' case, Liang Ou and the unnamed child, in the Lanyue Cafe.Since these two people are strangers, Yang Mingzhen specially locked them in the most impenetrable cell in the police station, and only the four of them knew the number of the cell.He Fu once asked him to interrogate Liang Ou, and he agreed.

During those few days, he had been waiting for He Fu to interrogate Liang Ou.Because he also wanted to know what exactly He Fu wanted to interrogate Liang Ou.

He waited for several days, He Fu has not acted.Until last night, after He Fu went to that cell, Liang Ou and the child disappeared.

This makes people have to suspect that He Fu let go of those two people.

At this moment, both pairs of eyes were fixed on He Fu, Yang Mingzhen and Xing Ting were waiting for his answer.

"I did go out last night." He Fu said, "I went to Cell 107, but I didn't see Liang Ou. I only saw Shen Xiaowen lying on the ground."

"You lied!" Yang Mingzhen said, "Shen Xiaowen saw you go in, and then you knocked him out, and now you tell me that you didn't see Liang Ou, do you think I will believe you?"

He Fu calmly replied: "Believe it or not, Captain Yang already has the answer in his mind?"

At the end of Yang Mingzhen's words, he indeed already had the answer in his heart, that is, he never believed in the young man in front of him.

"Then trouble you to follow me to the police station." Yang Mingzhen took out the handcuffs, "You stay in the prison obediently. If you are innocent, then I will let you out."

He Fu stretched out his hand obediently, waiting for Yang Mingzhen to handcuff him.

"This is impossible, he has no reason to let go..." Xing Ting watched this scene, at a loss.Should he say something now?My boss was arrested by the police, so what should he do?

Yang Mingzhen glared at Xing Ting angrily, "You'd better keep quiet, or I'll catch you too."

Xing Ting immediately shut up.

He Fu smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll be back soon."

Yang Mingzhen took He Fu away, leaving only Xing Ting and a cat in the No. [-] fish restaurant.

On the second day after He Fu left Fish House No. [-], Xing Ting sat on the sofa He Fu often sat on, and his hand inadvertently slipped into the crack of the sofa.

— as if there was something in it.

Xing Ting stretched his hand inside again, and he touched it.

"This is..." He looked at the thing he took out from the gap. The four black and white photos were pictures of beauties from hell.In the photo, someone used a blue pen to write the names of each woman in the picture.

Xiang Chunyuan, Xia Xiaoyun, Qiu Baimei, Feng Dong.

These four names are exactly the four people who returned safely in the disappearance case mentioned by Yang Mingzhen. They are survivors, but they were drawn into paintings representing death.

He Fu actually investigated these four people before Yang Mingzhen!

Could it be that He Fu was really the one who let Liang Ou go?

Xing Ting scratched his head and thought, why does He Fu let Liang Ou go?

Xing Ting continued to look through the stack of photos. Besides the four pictures of beauties in hell, there were also two paintings, which were the two paintings that appeared in Qiu Baimei's room.

These two paintings are very messy, this is the first feeling for people. Xing Ting has seen He Fu holding these two paintings for a long time many times.He seems to have spliced ​​the two paintings together...

"Is it this way?" Xing Ting spliced ​​the left and right sides of the painting together, but found nothing.He stitched the painting up and down again, and then he was shocked, "What is this?"

The two paintings are spliced ​​up and down to form a weird pattern, like a flower.

Xing Ting thought, these photos were obviously stuffed into the sofa by He Fu, he deliberately stuffed them in here to let himself find out!

But what could this eerie pattern mean?He Fu must have discovered the secret inside, but he didn't say anything, willing himself to be captured by Yang Mingzhen.what is this?

Xing Ting couldn't figure it out, because he had never seen this pattern, so naturally he couldn't guess anything of value.

He suddenly remembered that in the haunting case of the Zhang family, it was the fish from No. [-] fish restaurant who ran out to make trouble, so could it be that a fish also ran out this time, changing into the form of He Fu and letting Liang Ou and the child go?

Thinking of this, Xing Ting immediately walked towards the fish tank.

The fish tank is as tall as half a person, and there is a green light shining from the bottom of the fish tank. The fish swim freely in it, and he counts them seriously...

Except for the shadow fish that was captured earlier, there are still six fish left in the fish house.

"No fish escaped. Is it true that He Fu let Liang Ou go?" Xing Ting still felt a little unbelievable. Why did He Fu send away Liang Ou whom he had caught so hard? It shouldn't be. Someone must be pretending to be He Fu. .

He touched his face. Could it be that there are other strangers in the tea city, and that stranger can change his face?

If this is the case, then the alien who can change his face is the "inner ghost" that Yang Mingzhen said?

The more Xing Ting thought about it, the more frightening he felt. If there really was an inner ghost in the police station, wouldn't it be more ominous for He Fu to go in?After all, Yang Mingzhen never thought of standing by He Fu's side from the very beginning, they have always been at odds.Assuming that the 'inner ghost' wanted to kill He Fu, wouldn't it be as he wished that He Fu was in the cell now?

"No, you helped me anyway, you can't be ungrateful, wait for the uncle to save you!"

After thinking about it, Xing Ting picked up the fruit knife on the table and scratched at the scar behind his ear again.

He wants to become Yang Mingzhen and go to the police station to rescue He Fu.

Although the risk was great, he didn't care too much about it. If he went late, He Fu might die.

It is now approaching October, assuming a hunter appears and leaves No. [-] Fish House as an alien, it is very likely that it will become someone else's meal.

Although He Fu himself is the owner of the No. [-] Fish House, this does not guarantee that he is not afraid of hunters.

After a while, Xing Ting broke out of the cocoon. He had a brand new face, and the owner of that face was Yang Mingzhen.

He bent down, picked up Xiao Mi, and gently rubbed Xiao Mi's head: "Xiao Mi, wait for me to find your big master."
