The Plow

There was no one in the house next door.

Ling Shu and Shen Renjie searched the house for a long time, and finally found a square iron cover under the living room carpet.

There is a handle on the cover, so it must be possible to pull it in, but Ling Shu looked at it for a few seconds, but did not move the handle, but put the carpet back on and signaled Shen Renjie to leave the house together.

Shen Renjie followed him and crawled out from the backyard again. There was no one around, but he still couldn't help looking around, while secretly sighing that he was a policeman who pretended to be a tiger and paid protection fees, and he actually did the thief.

"You also think you can't scare the snakes? In this way, let's go back to the patrol room first, gather people, and then surround the place at dawn, and kill the people inside, won't it save trouble?"

He spared no effort to persuade Ling Shu, hoping that he would give up the idea of ​​confronting him head-on.

Ling Shu shook his head.

Shen Renjie's heart turned cold: "You still want to go down to find them?"

Ling Shu asked strangely: "Why are you looking for them? Can't you wait for them to come up? You can arrest those two now, at most you can save Mrs. Sun, but you may not be able to dig out the secrets behind them. Will Mrs. Sun know about it in a while?" It's life-threatening, let's keep an eye on them for a few days, maybe we can follow the clues and get the people behind them."

This place is indeed quite hidden, in the corner, there are bushes in front, but they are squatting here...

The weather is getting hotter, they are not going to feed the mosquitoes for several nights, right?

Shen Renjie had a bitter face, and said in his heart that every time someone with the surname Ling was in the stall, he would be in bad luck, and he would not be able to work with him no matter what, no matter what price Yue Dingtang offered, he would not lose his will!

While feeling sorry for himself, he felt Ling Shu poke his arm.

"Look ahead!"

Shen Renjie hurriedly followed the prestige.

He saw two figures, one tall and one short, coming out of the small bungalow of the Sun family.

It's Sister Song and Lu Zude!

Instead of being excited, Shen Renjie felt a burst of sadness welling up in his heart.

It's not good when you come out, but you have to pick this time!

Sure enough, Ling Shu whispered to him: "It seems that we are lucky, we will find out tonight, go, follow!"

What kind of good luck is this?

Shen Renjie complained wildly in his heart, but before he could think of an excuse to run away, Ling Shu had already got up and followed the two of them, and he had to follow behind in tears.

In the middle of the night, there were not many people on the road. Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Zude and Sister Song started to walk slowly. After walking to the end of the street, they turned right and entered the alley, and their behavior became strange.

Instead of taking the main road, I just went into dark alleys, turning around, sometimes walking around and then going back to the original place, stopping and waiting to see if anyone was following me.

At first Shen Renjie didn't notice, seeing them turning and disappearing, he was really ready to catch up, but Ling Shu pressed him against the wall in time, and sure enough, after a while, those two people reappeared in the same place, and he broke out in a cold sweat, not daring to catch up with them. No matter how dazed he stares, he only concentrates on following Ling Shu.

Half an hour later, he saw the two of them entering a dance hall from a distance.

Generally, a curfew is enforced after nine o'clock, and no one is allowed to stay on the street, but there are exceptions. For example, the one in front of you is obviously well-connected and franchised, and there are many cars parked outside.

Sister Song and Lu Zude are not real maids, and the young master from the countryside, it seems that this is the first time they have come back to this place, and they just opened the door and walked in without looking at the signboard.

Ling Shu knew that they recognized him, so he didn't dare to approach rashly, and waited for a while before leading Shen Renjie forward.

There was no waiter at the door, and soon after entering the door, I saw a dance floor in the middle, surrounded by tables and chairs, but there were not many people, sparse, some were dancing, and some were sitting and talking in a low voice.

It looks like a normal dance hall.

When he came to this kind of place, Ling Shu was very familiar with it. He waved his hand and summoned the waiters. He didn't say what kind of wine he wanted, but said that it was the same as the table in front of him. He also gave a generous tip, saying that the dancer he knew didn't come today. , asked the waiter to recommend two.

The waiter understood and went quickly with a smile on his face.

Shen Renjie was worried: "Could this be a contact point for them? What if we don't tell the truth?"

Ling Shu shook his head: "I know the guest at the table in front of him. He is Mr. Liu Qi. He usually likes leisure and loves to enjoy himself. He claims to visit every dance hall in Shanghai and dance with every dancer. He is unrivaled in suaveness , the family hates him for not fighting, and is preparing to send him to study abroad, it stands to reason that he is unlikely to get involved in this kind of thing, so there are still normal guests here."

The implication is that a superficial person like Mr. Liu Qi is unlikely to get involved in this kind of thing, he doesn't have that brain.

The two seemed to be chatting, and Ling Shu also opened his eyes to look around.

I didn't see Lu Zude and Sister Song, otherwise it would be easy to identify them from their figures.

He intends to find a chance to ask.

This opportunity came quickly.

The waiter came back with two bottles of foreign wine and two dancing girls.

One of the dancers was named Nana and the other Linlin. Such names were everywhere in the Shanghai Bund dance hall, and Ling Shu would not think that they were their real names.

We meet by chance and act on every occasion, but that's all.

Nana is an old hand, but Linlin is a little immature. It must be because she has just arrived, her hands and feet are clumsy, and she almost spilled wine on Lingshu. Lingshu pretended to be angry, and Nana hurriedly rounded up the situation and took Lingshu off to dance. .

They danced to the second dance, talking about each other, and they were a little familiar with each other. Ling Shu's appearance made Nana a little confused, and the topic was led by the other party unconsciously.

"Let me tell you a little secret."

Ling Shu's breath almost sprayed on Nana's face, with the faint fragrance of cologne, which she couldn't resist.

"What?" She was a little dazed.

Ling Shu: "To tell you the truth, this is my first time here."

Nana smiled and said, "Mr. Yue doesn't live nearby, how did he know about this place?"

Ling Shu: "Of course someone told me. He also told me that there will be a big surprise waiting for me here. But I drank for a long time, and apart from you, there is nothing that can be called a surprise."

Nana was very amused by him, trembling: "That's because you didn't find the right way!"

When Ling Shu got the answer he wanted, he knew what he wanted, and he also laughed: "Is the third master enough?"

Nana was taken aback and stopped laughing: "Do you know the third master?"

Ling Shu: "How can a small person like me know the third master? It was someone who knew the third master's subordinates. They told me."

Nana: "What's his name?"

Ling Shu said nonsense: "He told me that others call him A Kang."

Nana pondered: "I've never heard of this name, he may have lied to you."

Ling Shu didn't care: "Never mind him, he and I are also drinking buddies, but what he said is true, and so are you, so this trip is worthwhile."

Nana smiled and said, "Do you always make girls happy like this?"

Ling Shu stared at her: "You are the first girl I say that."

Rao felt that this man was coaxing her, but Nana was quite happy.

"Let me show you the way."

"Ok?"

"See that table in front of you?"

"Liu Qigong?"

"You know him? That's easy. You'll find an opportunity to get to know Young Master Liu Qi later, and you can follow him to broaden your horizons."

"He knows the third master?"

"It's also his first time here, but he was introduced by someone seriously, unlike you little liar."

"I'm not a little liar, I'm a big liar anyway."

Ling Shu took out a new unopened lipstick from his pocket and stuffed it into her hand.

"You still carry lipstick with you?" Nana was surprised and delighted when she saw the sign, "Which girl are you going to give it to?"

"I originally prepared a birthday present for my sister. After seeing you, I think you are more worthy of it."

Ling Shu's expression was so sincere that Nana couldn't doubt him at all.

After dancing, Ling Shu was going to find Young Master Liu Qi.

Nana grabbed him.

"It's all right if you go to see the world, but don't be addicted to the show, that's not the place you should go to."

It's fine if she doesn't talk about it, but it makes Ling Shu even more interested.

"I know."

He went back to drink a glass of wine, and went to strike up a conversation with Young Master Liu Qi.

Young Master Liu Qi heard that Ling Shu claimed his surname was Yue Mingzhi, and he looked familiar again. He was originally blank and impatient, but when he heard that Ling Shu was a distant relative of the Yue family, he gave him some face.

When Ling Shu wants to please someone, he must make people feel that the stars in the sky are easy to pick up, not to mention the ignorant Mr. Liu Qi, who was almost flattered by Ling Shu, and suddenly felt very happy. Shu also had a good impression, the two of them had one drink after another, from talking about women to the sex scene in Shanghai, Ling Shu had already made Liu Qiyin his confidant.

When a waiter came with a number plate to invite Liu Qi to go to the casino, Liu Qi took Ling Shu with him without hesitation. Even Ling Shu offered to take his friend Shen Renjie with him, and Liu Qi readily agreed.

Together with the attendants who came with Liu Qi, a group of four of them walked through the dance floor, the waiter opened the back door, lifted the heavy velvet cloth curtain, and the heat and the roar of mountains and tsunami rushed in.

people.

At a glance, the venue is full of people.

Around the well-arranged gaming tables, there are all gamblers, shouting and cheering, their eyes bloodshot, staring fixedly at the cylinder in the dealer's hand, as if it contained not dice, but their future destiny.

Some of the winners danced in ecstasy, but they were a minority after all, and there were quite a few who lost again and again, and finally cried bitterly and refused to leave. They were dragged out by the people from the casino, and their wailing and begging voices were ear-piercing and high-pitched. , but the people around didn't seem to hear it, and their eyes still fell on the gaming table.

Shen Renjie didn't expect that there was such a gambling house hidden behind the dance hall, and he was stunned for a moment.

I can't help but gamble nowadays, because there are often various forces behind the opening of the gambling hall, but in this case, why is this gambling hall so mysterious, for fear of being discovered?

Opening a casino, isn't the more customers the better?

With this question in mind, Shen Renjie went up to watch the excitement, and when his eyes fell on the gambling table, he couldn't help but let out a sigh.
