Despicable Games [lower part]

The rumors became more and more outrageous.

Some people say that the flower in Zuixianlou is a thousand-year-old female ghost who eats only living people and absorbs their energy to survive until now. But now her skills have improved and she needs a lot of living people's energy, so she uncharacteristically eats three people in a row.

Some people say that Hua'er is a painted skin ghost, she needs fresh blood to keep her life, and she needs beautiful skin to transform into a human appearance and live among human beings.The current Hua'er is actually not the Hua'er it was a month ago. Now this one is actually a "painted skin ghost" wearing the skin of "Hua'er".

"People's lives are too ordinary, and such a thing can be said to be so legendary." Sitting in the open-air teahouse, Kang Wenwen couldn't help being dumbfounded secretly as he listened to the 'rumors' from the tables next door.

Du Qianlin tapped the rim of the teacup in front of him lightly, "It's true. As long as this rumor has a beginning, it will become more and more bizarre. But what people believe the most is the most outrageous and unlikely one."

Kang Wenwen sneered, "Because human beings know that their abilities are limited, but they don't want to admit it in their hearts. They can only use these appalling 'impossible' events to cover up their incompetence and ignorance."

Du Qianlin pursed his lips and didn't answer.

"I heard that the rich man is going to the Drunken Immortal Tower to find flowers tonight. I wonder if he will be the fourth." A man with a mustache covered his mouth and said in a loud voice.

"Hey, don't you know that Immortal Gao is here too? If that female ghost really dares to harm people, she's courting death." Another man at the same table said.

"But what are the rich man Wang and Gao Xianren going to the Zuixian Tower tonight? Isn't it just to catch ghosts?"

"Who knows."

"However, I heard that the flower is as beautiful as a fairy. It would be great if we could catch it and let us feast our eyes on it before killing it."

"Yeah, hehehe."

Kang Wenwen glanced at the talking men, put the copper coins on the table, got up and called Du Qianlin to leave.

"Men gossip more than women."

Du Qianlin smiled helplessly, "Wen Wen is also a man."

Kang Wenwen pursed his lips and nodded, "Then I'm talking about some men..."

After he paused, he still shrugged and said, "Well, I shouldn't discriminate against sex. Humans are gossiping creatures."

"Are you complaining about Hua'er?" Du Qianlin raised his eyebrows and asked.

Kang Wenwen was stunned for a moment, "...No."

His eyes were a little empty, and he paused for a moment before saying, "I just don't understand why those people can say these words with their mouths open?"

"They clearly know that what comes out of their mouths is likely to affect that person's future."

Du Qianlin always felt that what Kang Wenwen was talking about at the moment was not referring to Hua'er, or not just talking about Hua'er.

"Wen Wen..."

"Let's go." Kang Wenwen returned to his usual appearance, with an innocent and foolish look on his face.

"Let's go find Zhang Dengjin quickly, change our clothes and see what this Gao Xianren and Wang Cai are mainly doing tonight."

Standing outside the palace, waiting for Zhang Deng to come in and out.

Kang Wenwen and Du Qianlin saw several groups of people coming to the mansion to beg and cry.All kinds of things came to beg Gao Xianren to accept the female ghost from Zuixian Tower.

But from the beginning to the end, I didn't see that 'Gao Xianren' come forward to reply.

"Hey, here, here." The side door opened and Zhang Dengjin looked around, and saw that no one was paying attention and slipped out sideways.

Du Qianlin looked at his cautious appearance, and couldn't help asking, "What are you doing? Aren't you in charge? Why do you look like a thief when you go out?"

"Isn't this going to lead you to do bad things?" Zhang Dengjin pushed the shoulders of the two of them and walked towards the back door.

Du Qianlin rolled his eyes, "The more you do bad things, the more frank you are."

Zhang Dengjin pouted, "Is anyone as thick-skinned as you?"

"We are not doing bad things, we are doing good to find out the real culprit." Don't do this like being a thief.

Kang Wenwen was held down by Zhang Dengjin, wishing he could bury his head in his chest and walk into the palace through the back door.

Everyone can see that the three of them have ghosts.

"That's right, and you are pressing us like this, if anyone passes by, they will think you are abnormal." Du Qianlin said helplessly.

Zhang Dengjin raised his hand and slapped him, "You also said that both of you are from the yamen. During this time, the rich man is very strict with the people in the yamen. Who doesn't know your name as Lu Butou? Who doesn't know you? seen?"

The more Zhang Dengjin talked, the more angry he became, "I don't know which one is not human. I told the rich man that the two of you went to the Zuixian Tower today, and now the rich man has people going around to stare at you two!"

"...Really?" Kang Wenwen frowned.

This is so abnormal, why stare at the two of them.Not many people knew about going to Hua'er, and Hua'er was not a prisoner, they just went to ask routinely, why is this rich man so defensive?

"That's not good." Du Qianlin said seriously with a bluffing face.

"Wen Wen and I walked around the city before we came here after we entered the city. We asked someone to tell you to wait at the gate for a long time. Maybe the rich man knew that you came to us before you came out."

Zhang Dengjin was also stunned.

That's right, it was the servants from the mansion who came to tell me that Captain Lu was outside the door, and the rich man must have known about it.

Du Qianlin looked at Zhang Dengjin with a look of caring for mentally handicapped children, shook his head and sighed.

"Bulb, light bulb, I always thought you were so wise as a fool, but I didn't expect you to be real... oh~"

Even Kang Wenwen didn't know what to say at the moment.

Now speaking, the actions of himself and Du Qianlin have long been under the eyes of the rich man.

"Then what should we do now?" Zhang Dengjin wept.

Du Qianlin patted him on the shoulder, "Don't cry, if the rich man fires you. I'll treat you, you can pick any girl from Zuixianlou."

"Go away!"

Du Qianlin originally suggested to make mistakes, but Zhang Dengjin hadn't waited for him to slow down.The rich man Wang sent someone to invite him.

"Lu Butou, our master invites you two to the main hall for a cup of tea."

Du Qianlin turned his head to Kang Wenwen and said with a smile, "Didn't expect me to be invited to drink tea as a policeman?"

Kang Wenwen shrugged and was speechless.

Never been so passive.

In the main hall, the rich man was already waiting there.

It is not only because he is the only one sitting in the main hall that he can recognize the 'rich man' at a glance, there is also an intuitive factor.

He exuded an aura of wealth and nobility all over his body, and he almost made gold into a jacket to wear on his body.

"Catch Lu quickly." The rich man's fat palms joined each other in this way, and he stood up with a smile to greet him.

Although this was an act of respecting the other party, there was no respect in his eyes.Even some jokes.

"The rich man." Du Qianlin raised his hand in return.

"I don't know why the rich man wants to invite me to drink tea?"

As soon as Du Qianlin said this, the rich man was stunned.

This, it's not that you broke into my house first, and I was polite, but you are the first to question me?

"Haha, Detective Lu is joking. I heard the report from the servant that Detective Lu and Sifang Zhang are coming to my humble house, Wang Xingde! Why didn't you say it earlier, so I wasn't prepared for it." The last sentence was aimed at Zhang Dengjin's question.

Zhang Dengjin said in his heart, he finally had an easy and profitable job, and now he is completely gone.

"I'm sorry, master." Apart from this dry sentence, Zhang Dengjin didn't know what to say.

"Your servant is not sensible. Please forgive me, Detective Lu." The rich man shook his sleeves. The gold threads on his clothes were shining brightly in the sun, and he didn't know who he was shaking them for.

Du Qianlin looked at the rich man, but he still couldn't get to the point.

"Is the rich man looking for us for something? If not, we will go back to the Yamen first."

"Don't, I just bought new tea from Jiangnan, so catch Lu and stay here for a drink." The rich man Wang said so, but he didn't make any moves to bring people in, even the tea table in the main hall was just There is a pair of tea sets, but there is no tea and even the tea cups are turned upside down.

Du Qianlin knew that the rich man wanted to see off the guests, so he also cupped his fists to say goodbye to the rich man.

"Sigh, Detective Lu is so busy. Then I, Wang Maoshi, will be ignorant if I try to force him to stay."

As Wang Maoshi said that, he summoned some people, "You, send Detective Lu and Sifang Zhang off."

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen ignored Zhang Dengjin's eyes asking for help, followed the boy and went out.

Walking out of the palace, Kang Wenwen asked Du Qianlin.

"Are you a head catcher? Then why do some people call you a head catcher and others call you a head catcher?"

Du Qianlin nodded, "I've also discovered this problem, and it's obvious that the people who asked me to catch up didn't bother to deal with the Yamen, or they looked down on us. This Wang Maoshi is like this. He looks obedient on the surface, but In fact, they didn’t take us seriously.”

"Is this a reminder from the system?" Kang Wenwen asked, because Du Qianlin played 'DK' very easily before, and once he encountered a bottleneck, the clues would be sent to him.

So this time, using address to help Du Qianlin distinguish between 'good and bad' should also be the help of the system.

"I don't think so." Du Qianlin shook his head.

"Although this is a way to identify the other party, it does not determine whether a person is a bad person. I think this is a small trap. If we really believe this statement, we will definitely enter a dead end."

Kang Wenwen tilted his head to look at Du Qianlin.

"What's wrong?" Du Qianlin noticed something strange in Kang Wenwen's eyes.

Kang Wenwen said, "Do you think the system wants to cheat you? But..."

However, Gu Bo has always been helping Du Qianlin.

Du Qianlin stopped in his tracks, "Gu Bo...I always feel that Gu Bo has changed, or whether he is Gu Bo or not."

Although he didn't get the clothes of the servants of the palace, it is not difficult to sneak into Zuixianlou.

Because many people didn't go home today, it may be because Gao Xianren is there, or it may be because they already know who the ogre is.Everyone started to disapprove and all lay outside the Zuixian Tower waiting for the news.

"If I were a cannibal, I would catch two people outside and eat them now." Kang Wenwen felt disgusted when he saw a group of cowardly and good-for-nothing people downstairs.

Du Qianlin took Kang Wenwen to hide next to Hua'er's room on the second floor.A girl used to live in the room, but now she is concentrating on trying to please the rich man below.

There were people coming and going outside the door, but no one would have thought that they would dare to hide here.

"Hua'er is really getting better at talking. What kind of honey did this little mouth eat?" The voice came from far to near, and it was the rich man and Hua'er who came upstairs.

"Wherever the master goes, don't you think the girl there has a sweet mouth? They eat honey every day and can't wait for you." Hua'er pretended to be angry.

Wang Maoshi walked past Du Qianlin's room and entered Hua'er's room with Hua'er in his arms.

"Gao Xianren and the county magistrate are still downstairs?" Kang Wenwen asked.

Du Qianlin nodded.

"But we can't go down, don't know what they're talking about."

I always feel that it's a bit weird that the rich man invited Gao Xianren and the county magistrate to drink.

"He didn't accompany him downstairs, but went upstairs with flowers. No matter how you look at it, he seems to give room for conversation between Gao Xianren and the county magistrate." Kang Wen heard.

Du Qianlin felt the same way.So now the conversation between the two people downstairs should be the key content.

"We've got to figure out what they're talking about."

Kang Wenwen walked around the room, looking at the clothes in the closet, lost in thought.

But Du Qianlin immediately interrupted his urge to dress up as a woman.

"The clothes here are all worn by that girl. As long as we wear them, not only the girl can see through them at a glance, but the old bustard will also be able to tell if he pays a little attention." This is really too risky.

"What should I do?" Why can't I just wait here?

Just as he was talking, there was a burst of noise from the next door.

Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen hurriedly silenced and listened carefully.

Although it is ancient, the sound insulation of the house is not bad, especially in places like Zuixianlou.

Kang Wenwen and Du Qianlin had already stuck to the wall and barely heard crying from the next door.

"Hua'er is crying, what's going on?" Kang Wenwen frowned.

"..." Du Qianlin looked surprised.

"Could it be that this flower is a show rather than a body?"

"What?" Kang Wenwen looked at Du Qianlin in disbelief, wondering if he could be serious in investigating the case now.
