The sparrows were chirping non-stop outside the courtyard, which was very annoying.
The rays of the sun that were about to set were orange, and the reflection on the half of the woman's disfigured face was somewhat piercing.She was busy back and forth in the kitchen, washing rice, chopping vegetables, cooking, and arranging dishes, all from her own hands.
When she came out with the steaming food, thin beads of sweat had already appeared on her forehead.
Carrying the food box into the inner hall, looking at the man sitting up, he said happily, "You can move already?"
Perhaps his limbs had been inactive for too long, and his blood had not circulated for a long time. His limbs were a little stiff, and the simple action of sitting up had consumed too much of his strength.
Try to move your fingers. Although the reaction is a bit delayed, it is really moving.
The man is tall and tall, but his face is pale. He has been free for a long time, but he is not as happy as the woman.
"Qi Yu, stop." After hesitating again and again, he finally said these words.
He can move his limbs, which means that Qi Yu's hands are stained with human life again.
"How can I stop?" The woman called Qi Yu held the rice in her hand and fed it to the man mouthful, one chopsticks for vegetables and one chopsticks for rice.The man chewed very slowly, Qi Yu didn't show any impatience, "You're only half recovered, and my plan has just begun."
Qi Yu's voice became lower and lower, until at the end it was somewhat indisputable.
When Ruan Qingyu walked in with the food box, she was not surprised to find Qi Zhu staring at the screen in a daze.
"If you continue like this, I'm afraid no maid will dare to come and bring you food again."
Qi Zhu recovered from his still thoughts, looked at Ruan Qingyu, "Why are you?"
Ruan Qingyu, "Didn't you see that maid who delivered meals was crying and crying in front of me, refusing to come?"
Qi Zhu glanced at the two horrific corpses hanging behind the screen, and seemed to understand why.
Open the lid of the food box, the smell of the food wafts out, slightly blowing away the rotten smell in the room, "Did you find anything?"
Qi Zhu picked up the bowls and chopsticks, and answered without hesitation while eating while facing the corpse, "The blood all over the body has been drained, and only a layer of skin remains. It is impossible to tell when he died. Besides, the corpse has become like this. They look like ghosts, and no one knows who they were before they were alive."
Ruan Qingyu walked around the two corpses and asked curiously, "How do you think people make shadow puppets?"
Qi Zhu, "Maybe I borrowed some power," he paused at this point, "I can't devote myself to the case with my whole heart and mind."
Ruan Qingyu, "Are you worried about Ding Ziming?"
Qi Zhu nodded, "Compared to two corpses that have been dead for an unknown period of time, a living person is more important. I must seize the time to find him a body that can be used as a boarding house."
Ruan Qingyu knew this best, he could even feel Ding Ziming's increasingly weak breath.His gaze was fixed on one of the shadow puppets of the dead, and there were two connected moles on his neck.Ruan Qingyu lowered his head, as if he had an idea.
Ding Ziming still doesn't know that his life is in danger, even if he knows, he probably has no time to take care of it, because he is now fighting wits and courage with his perverted master every minute and every second.
He yawned and maintained his usual mosquito cry, "I'm going to sleep."
Yuan Suiyun, "Talk to me."
Ding Ziming protested, "Monsters also need sleep."
Yuan Suiyun, "Talk to me."
After going back and forth, Ding Ziming finally became impatient, and thought carefully, "It takes a lot of energy for me to talk, why don't you tell me to listen."
Yuan Suiyun thought about it and seemed to accept the proposal.
For the rest of the time, Yuan Suiyun was talking intermittently, and Ding Ziming was listening quietly. After a while, Yuan Suiyun stretched out his slender index finger to touch the small handkerchief. Going down, doing regular ups and downs, I couldn't help laughing - I was wondering why I didn't make a fuss, but it turned out that I fell asleep.
Qi Zhu got up early the next day, and continued to run to the flower market before dawn. Ruan Qingyu followed him out at a cat's pace.Of course, it didn't take long to be discovered. Tailgating has its advantages, and being discovered also has its advantages, such as being able to walk together in a fair and honest manner.
Ruan Qingyu accompanied Qi Zhu back and forth to the flower market several times, but found nothing.
He suddenly said, "Isn't it the same when you saved me?"
Repeat the same action every day, tirelessly.
Qi Zhu nodded, "Some things depend on luck, but my luck has never been very good."
Ruan Qingyu, "Since this is the case, we might as well do something else."
Qi Zhu looked at him.
Ruan Qingyu narrowed his eyes and said, "Go and find out the identities of the two deceased."
Standing under a large archway, you can hear the noise inside from outside the door.
Qi Zhu raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you didn't want to come here to play?"
Just as he was talking, there was a cry of 'squeezing the big and the small' coming from inside, and the roar of excitement was intertwined with the heart-piercing cry in a complex way, playing a complete deduction of what is called a miasma.
This casino is very big, about twice the size of the original Suiyun casino that day when they first met. There are five rows of gaming tables neatly arranged. It looks very strong. It should be made of high-quality wood, but no matter how good the material is , even if it is Qiao Mu's, it can't stand the madness of these gamblers.After frantically shaking the dice cup, the last slam with desperate bravery hit the table, causing the legs of the table to tremble.
Ruan Qingyu lowered her voice, "Yesterday I saw that the thumb of the corpse's right hand and the skin of the other fingers were a little sunken, among which the thumb was the most obvious. This is a characteristic of the hands of people who have been shaking dice cups for a long time, not to mention that he has tattoos on his back. Even though it has shrunk after losing the flesh and blood, the Pixiu can be vaguely identified."
Qi Zhu, "You mean he is a gambler."
Ruan Qingyu smiled mysteriously, "Not only is he a gambler, he is also a master among gamblers."
From the fingers, you can see the point of force used. Every angle of his is very tricky, and he is a master at controlling dice.
"Follow him." A skinny man got off the table, his steps were a little unsteady, it seemed that he must have lost a lot just now.
Next to the casino is an alley, and after Qi Zhu and Ruan Qingyu followed the man in, the man had disappeared.
Qi Zhu frowned, how could it be possible.
Ruan Qingyu smiled treacherously, "Don't forget that he is a gambler. Gamblers are very smart in certain aspects." As he said, he kicked over a row of bamboo poles leaning against the wall, and a person would be trapped by himself. He hit it, and rushed out with his head in his arms.
Qi Zhu took a look, isn't it? This person's body is already as thin as a bamboo pole, and it's more than enough to hide it, but he can't see it at all.
After the man came out, he raised his legs and ran, Ruan Qingyu grabbed his collar, and the man was running and stepping on the spot, looking very funny.
"I haven't done anything wrong, why are you running?"
The man cried and said in a mournful voice, "You two gentlemen, please do me a favor. I really didn't win much money today, and I even lost a lot."
Qi Zhu laughed, it seemed that he regarded them as specially stationed at the entrance of the casino to rob.
He winked at Ruan Qingyu, who put down the man's collar, then turned his head and said, "Isn't all my money on you now?"
Qi Zhu almost forgot about this, smiled embarrassedly, then took out a large-valued bank note from his bosom, waved it in front of the man, "Answer a few questions from us, and it will be yours .”
Ruan Qingyu gritted his teeth. When he wanted to spend money, he only gave him a tael of silver, and he had to send him back the remaining copper coins. Now that he is so generous to a gambler, he would pay thousands of taels for a single move.
What can be endured and what can't be endured!
Qi Zhu seemed to feel his resentful gaze, and looked at him with a half smile but not a smile, Ruan Qingyu immediately gave a flattering smile, the meaning of the smile was obvious, what you did was right.
Qi Zhu nodded in satisfaction, and then asked the man, "How long have you been playing dice."
The man stared straight at the bank note, without any intention of hiding it, "It's been seven or eight years."
Qi Zhu, "Have you been to all the casinos on this street?"
The man nodded, "Not to mention this street, I've even been to casinos within a radius of ten miles."
This is without any bragging. A gambler can’t keep losing all the time, and he can’t be lucky enough to win all the time. The owner of the casino also needs to make money, let alone if you win someone else’s today, there’s no guarantee that no one will see the money. Because of evil intentions or resentment, he often hangs around in different casinos.
Ruan Qingyu glanced at him, "He's pretty smart."
The man said embarrassedly, "If I don't have this ability, I will die to play until today."
Qi Zhu, "You already noticed it when we were in the casino."
This is very certain, only this can explain the man's behavior of hiding as soon as he goes out.
The man nodded, "You are well dressed, and your eyes are not on the gaming table, you don't look like people who are here to play."
Being able to pay attention to the surrounding situation when placing a bet, it seems that they have found the right person.
Qi Zhu gave Ruan Qingyu an appreciative glance, who was so happy that he almost raised his tail to the sky.
Ruan Qingyu thought about it, "Have you ever seen a man who is very good at gambling, has a Pixiu tattoo on his back, and two moles on his neck?"
The man frowned, apparently thinking.
"You mean Zhao Er?"
When Ruan Qingyu heard it, he had a clue, and then asked, "Did he suddenly not come to the casino recently?"
The man nodded, and answered somewhat nonsensically, "Zhao Er is well-known among our group of people. To bet on this thing depends on skill, luck and experience, but those who keep playing will lose everything sooner or later."
Ruan Qingyu, "Are you still playing with it?"
The man scratched his head, "I like the thrilling feeling, especially at the moment when the dice cup is opened, winning or losing comes second."
Qi Zhu frowned while listening, "Tell us about Zhao Er in detail."
The man glanced at the bank note and swallowed, "Did I say it's mine?"
Qi Zhu nodded, "I'll add another one for you."
The man smiled with satisfaction, and then said, "Zhao Er wasn't called Zhao Er originally, but Zhao Xingui. His family was quite wealthy, but his father was killed by him not long after his death. Brother Gongzi became a well-known local ruffian. But then he changed his luck, and it took him 20 years before we jokingly called him Zhao Er."
The rays of the sun that were about to set were orange, and the reflection on the half of the woman's disfigured face was somewhat piercing.She was busy back and forth in the kitchen, washing rice, chopping vegetables, cooking, and arranging dishes, all from her own hands.
