The strange case of the demon book

Chapter 21: A Poisonous Flower

?After Huo Wencai entered the gate of the Zhang family's house, the dozen or so coffins lay quietly under the willow tree, with burnt cigarettes stuck in the cracks in the lids.Huo Wencai opened his mouth and said, "Zhang Jue, I am Huo Wencai."

"Go to the hall." Zhang Jue's voice came from inside.

Huo Wencai walked carefully through the shady willows and coffins, even if it was the second time he came to Huo Wencai, he always felt gloomy.When Huo Wencai came to the front hall, he saw Zhang Jue sitting on a chair, as if he knew he would come.

"sit down."

Huo Wencai sat down unceremoniously and put the police cap on the table. After sitting down, Huo Wencai said: "Zhang Jue, there is a child missing on Taiping Street. So everyone asked me to look for it."

Zhang Jue's lips curled into a smile: "No one else enters my house except the people in my house."

People in the house?Besides Zhang Jue, why hasn't he seen any of them?

It's impossible for all the people attached here to be in those coffins, Huo Wen thought with chills.

"Since there is no one, I will inform the neighbors on Taiping Street." Huo Wencai said.

"it is good."

"Then I'll go out first." Huo Wen stood up and picked up his police cap.

"I won't give it away." Zhang Jue still had a smile on his face.

Huo Wen took only two steps, and when he reached the door, he stood still, turned around against the light and said to Zhang Jue, "Zhang Jue, if you know anything, tell me."

"Okay." Zhang Jue was still a simple word.

Huo Wencai put on the police cap on his head and went out, it's better not to say that he lost his jade ring.Tomorrow, tomorrow he must go to that woman to take back the jade ring and return it to Zhang Jue.

Huo Wencai went through the willow tree and the coffin again, opened the gate of Zhang's house and went out.The neighbors outside surrounded Huo Wen after seeing him coming out: "How is it? Did you find it? Is the child inside?"

"Everyone be quiet." Huo Wencai continued, "I searched Zhang's house up and down, but the child was not inside. Everyone go back first, and call the police if you find anything."

After Huo Wencai comforted him, everyone dispersed.Aunt Hong collapsed on the ground: "My poor child, who will help me find my poor child..."

Ma Wenrui helped Aunt Hong up: "Aunt Hong, we will definitely find the child back for you. You go back first, and let us know if you find anything."

After Ma Wenrui and Huo Wencai sent Aunt Hong back, they returned to the red house.Huo Wen took a sip of water and unbuttoned the buttons on the police uniform to let them breathe.

"It's a little weird." Ma Wenrui said as he fell back on the chair.

"Let's look for it again in the next two days." Huo Wencai said.

This world is not peaceful, people die every two or three days.This matter may be just like Ma Wenrui said: evil.But being able to see ghosts in broad daylight is really evil and hellish to them.So even if it is true, they don't make people believe it.Otherwise, this Taiping Street would be in chaos.

The two chatted for a while and the case was recorded.At five o'clock in the afternoon and the brother who was on duty in the evening, the brother who was on duty at night returned to the police station.Ma Wenrui went to Medicine Street to leave Huo Wencai to report today's case to Yu Xian for registration because he wanted to get medicine for his father.

Yu Xian took the case documents sent by Huo Wencai and said, "There are so many missing children in Guangzhou during this time."

"There are still missing children?" Huo Wen couldn't help asking.

"Here, see for yourself." Yu Xian threw a stack of documents to Huo Wencai.Huo Wencai picked it up and flipped through it, and the more Huo Wencai read it, the more frightened he became.These children disappeared inexplicably, and they could not be found no matter how they were found. In several cases, they confessed that the children disappeared strangely before their eyes.

One of the missing children was on Lantern Street.

"It's really evil. It's impossible to be taken away by ghosts in broad daylight." Yu Xian said in a babbling voice.

"Does the captain believe in ghosts?" Huo Wen couldn't help asking.

"I don't believe it. Where is the ghost in this world?" Yu Xian replied without thinking.There must be ghosts, he followed Wei Zong and killed so many people on the battlefield, and he was not dragged into hell by ghosts.

"Hehe, yes." Huo Wen said with a smile.

"We need to send a few more brothers to patrol during this time..." Yu Xian said to himself.

"Captain, I'll go back first." Huo Wen greeted.

"Oh... wait." Yu Xian took out a set of clothes from under his desk: "This is what Brother Wei asked me to give you."

Huo Wen took it.It's a white shirt and trousers. "Okay. Thank you, Captain." Huo Wen went back with his clothes.

Going to an appointment in the evening, Master Tie arranged a situation at Nanyuan Restaurant.

"Nanyuan Restaurant... Jianghu people are worthy of being Jianghu people..."

After coming to Guangzhou City for a while, Huo Wencai already knew the current situation in Guangzhou City.

Nanyuan Restaurant was opened by Chen Fuchou, the "Qiankundai", who used to be the head of Jinjiang Restaurant.Later, I don't know what method he used to take money from the pockets of those rich and powerful to open Nanyuan Restaurant, and then he became the opponent of Jinjiang Restaurant.Jinjiang Restaurant hated him so much.But because those rich and powerful people invested money in Nanyuan Restaurant, no one dared to touch them in Guangzhou City.

Huo Wencai went to Jinjiang Restaurant, but the later Nanyuan Restaurant is better built than Jinjiang Restaurant, with complete pavilions, pavilions and winding paths connecting flowers and trees.The most famous ones are the four rounds in it, but these four rounds were offered to be taken by powerful nobles.The four famous games are the "Smoke Game" (smoking opium); the "Flower Game" where prostitutes accompany drinks;These four bureaus are known to everyone in the generation of Guangzhou City.

Huo Wencai washed the changed police uniform and hung it to dry in the small yard, then took a bath for himself and went upstairs to put on the clothes that Wei Zong gave him.

"It's uncomfortable." After putting on the clothes on his body, he stretched out.He was used to rough clothes and police uniforms, and this clothes made him feel very special.

Huo Wen didn't want to go to this banquet, but he had to.

When the time was almost up, Huo Wen went to Lantern Street and hired a rickshaw to go to Nanyuan Restaurant.

After arriving at Nanyuan Restaurant, Chen Suisheng had already arrived.Chen Suisheng was still wearing a long robe, obviously standing here to wait for him.

"Senior brother."

"Brother, let's go in."

The two entered the South Garden Restaurant together, and Huo Wencai exclaimed in his heart after entering: the rumors outside were indeed true.This Nanyuan restaurant is a gold-selling cave.

Huo Wencai and Chen Suisheng followed the reception into the inner room, and hearty laughter came from the room before they entered the room.

"Is there anything worthy of your happiness." Chen Suisheng's face softened.

"The little boss is here! Ouch~ This is Brother Huo who saved me that night! Sit down! Sit down!" Master Tie got up and said to Chen Suisheng and Huo Wencai.

Wei Zong had a smile on his face.

This man who survived the battlefield always carries an aura, which is so strong that no one can ignore his existence.Huo Wencai didn't know why Wei Zong came, one was the leader of the road, and the other was the official of the police department.

However, there is nothing impossible in such a world.

Huo Wen didn't know, but Chen Suisheng knew it all.When the military government was still the head of the military department, Wei Zong once took his own soldiers to raid Tie Ye's lair because of the Hu Dudu's desire to ban drugs. Those who opened brothels were copied by Wei Zong.However, after the military government disbanded and Dudu Long came to power, what he was banned by the military government slowly recovered.During the disbandment of the military government, Wei Zong once brought his own people to lead the people of Long Dudu outside the city to fight a battle in order to prevent Guangzhou from falling into a battlefield.After the war, Wei Zong took people back to Guangzhou City, negotiated with Long Dudu for the placement of his subordinate soldiers and brought everyone to the police station to work as errands.

Therefore, more than half of the patrol officers in this police department are Wei Zong's subordinates, and these people have all licked blood with Wei Zong on the battlefield.Because he was afraid that Wei Zong would have too much power, the governor of Longdu planned to frame Director Chen and then installed his confidant Director Deng on the stage, making him the director of the Police Department, so that the money in his hands would not be because of Wei Zong. existence has diminished.

So until now, Wei Zong'an has been acting as the section chief in the police department.For the casino and prostitution boat restored by Long Dudu, he also regarded it as missing.

Wei Zong knew everything that Dudu Long had done.

As for Wei Zong, few people knew what kind of medicine he was selling in his stomach.As long as Wei Zong doesn't take the soldiers in his hands to rebel against himself, Dudu Long will be happy to ask Wei Zong to have a drink.

As long as everyone lives in peace and maintains the operation of Guangzhou City, everyone is mutually beneficial.

"Brother Wei, Master Tie." Before Huo Wen sat down, he saw Tang Manzhu sitting beside Master Tie.Tang Manzhu and Huo Wencai looked at each other, and Huo Wencai looked away as normal.

It is really a poisonous flower.Huo Wencai thought to himself.

"Brother Huo is young and promising. If it weren't for Brother Huo, I'm afraid my life would be there. Come on, Brother Huo, let me toast you." Master Tie said to Huo Wencai.

"Master Tie is being polite, this is my responsibility." Huo Wen took the glass of wine from Master Tie and drank it.

"Brother Huo is refreshing. Unexpectedly, Brother Huo turned out to be the patrolman under Minister Wei, and he is also the brother of the little boss. We are destined. Come, today I will respect Minister Wei, Brother Huo and the little boss."

The four of them got up and drank.

After the shootout in the ballroom of the Minghui Hotel, Master Tie went to investigate the people behind him who plotted against him, so it took half a month before he thought of recruiting Huo Wencai, who is a good kung fu.But after investigating behind the scenes, Master Tie was taken aback.He didn't expect that this was the brother of the small boss of the Cantonese businessman who had business dealings with him, and he was working under Wei Zong.But even so, he still wanted to recruit Huo Wencai into his hands for his own use, but he didn't expect Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng to come tonight.It is impossible for me to push people away, so I can only invite them to sit down.

In this form, Wei Zong and Chen Suisheng reminded him in a disguised form: don't play Huo Wencai's idea.

Master Tie ate himself up.Chen Suisheng was a Cantonese businessman, and Cantonese businessmen had a great influence in Guangzhou, which can be seen during the [-] Years.If someone has an accident, can the merchants of the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce let the other party go?Even if the people in the Cantonese Chamber of Commerce don't care about it, even Wei Zong may beat himself out of Guangzhou City.

So even if he wanted to recruit Huo Wencai, he might have to rest.However, right now, I can have a good relationship with them.In this way, his territory in the south is more stable.
