Qi Yao Inn

"Selling rat medicine?" Li Yize was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered who he was referring to, "You mean the time when the dragon egg was lost...the person who led us to find Huang Yi?"

"That's right," Xu Bing said, "I saw him right away. The key is why did he appear here?"

Li Yize walked to the door of the interrogation room and saw that Zhu Li was personally interrogating the rat poison seller, and the latter said "I'm innocent": "I really don't know, I was just called by them to help, to help." Lifting the cage or something, I really didn't participate in other things."

Zhu Li asked: "Do you know that smuggling protected animals is against the law? Do you know that buying and selling monsters violates the agreement?"

Man: "I know, but I just helped carry the cage, set up the venue, give out water to the guests and so on."

Li Yize stepped forward and patted Zhu Li on the shoulder, moved a chair and sat down beside him, and asked the man, "What's your name?"

"Cui Liang."

Li Yize: "When we met you before, you were in Xianzhou, why did you come to Nanming all the way?"

"What?" Cui Liang was taken aback, looked up at him carefully, and put on a surprised expression, "It's you, I...was indeed in Xianzhou before, but the owner of the billiard hall here is a distant relative of mine , He said that he was busy recently and was short of manpower, so he asked me to come over to help, I think the salary is quite high... Anyway, he makes more money than me selling rat medicine, so I came over."

"How much does he pay you a day?" Li Yize asked, "It's so far away, and he will reimburse you for the travel expenses?"

Cui Liang nodded and said, "Seven or eight hundred a day, but the time is not long, just a few days."

Li Yize: "Why didn't he just find someone in the local area, instead of spending a lot of money to reimburse you for travel expenses, and called you over from thousands of miles away?"

Cui Liang was at a loss for words for a while, before finally saying: "He said...it's hard to find people for this job, and their transaction volume is huge, so they don't care about the 800 yuan."

Li Yize slowly narrowed his eyes: "It's hard to find people who do this job? It's hard to find people who serve tea and water at the meeting place, and it's hard to find seven or eight hundred yuan a day? I can find a thousand people by calling out now, believe it or not? "

Cui Liang fell silent, Zhu Li slapped the table and said, "I'm asking you something!"

Li Yize continued to press, "What kind of work is it?"

Cui Liang shrank his neck, and he hesitated for a long time before saying: "Just... count the scales, and then pack them into bags. The number is very large, and it is very tiring."

Li Yize: "What scales?"

"Put on... a pangolin," Cui Liang finally couldn't bear it any longer, showing an expression uglier than crying, "I really didn't know that it was a pangolin scale. If I knew what I could do, they would bring the living one over to me. Only then did I realize that it was to protect animals, and then I told them that I quit and wanted to leave, but they refused to let me go, and even beat me up, you see I still have injuries on my body.”

As he said, he rolled up his sleeves, and there were indeed a few bruises on his arms: "I really know I was wrong, I shouldn't be greedy for that petty gain, I won't dare again in the future, just please let me go Bar."

The two people on the opposite side were indifferent, and he said again: "I can give you all the money I earned these days, and treat it as...paying the fine?"

"Those are illegal gains, they shouldn't be yours in the first place," Li Yize said blankly, "You have to pay a fine, and you don't want to run away—I advise you to be more honest."

After he finished speaking, he stood up, gave Zhu Li a wink to signal him to go out with him, the two went to the interrogation room, closed the door, and Li Yize asked him, "Do you believe what that guy just said? "

"I'd rather believe that the Lin Clan and the Yu Clan can develop harmoniously than believe his words," Zhu Li wiped his face wearily, "I've been interrogating him all morning, and this kid just said three words, 'I don't know', 'I didn't do anything', 'I'm just helping', no matter what you ask him, no matter how you treat him, it's like playing the piano against a cow, like hitting cotton, no matter how hard you try, people won't feel any pain."

Li Yize frowned: "Apart from these people who were caught, is there no other evidence?"

Zhu Li sighed deeply: "Don't mention it, there are only a few buyers and sellers who can't get away with stolen goods, and the others all deny that they have bought protected animals, saying 'I'm just curious to see', 'I It was recommended by the waiter, and I don't know what's underneath', but the billiard hall collapsed, and their surveillance is private, and now everything is gone. We can only investigate one by one, and I don't know how long it will take. "

Li Yize's eyes froze when he heard this - the last building of the Baiwei Hotel collapsed last time, and all the physical evidence disappeared. If they didn't scare the group of people into chaos at the end, they might end up with what kind of ending .

Now it seems...these two methods seem to be very close.

Li Yize asked: "Then what are you going to do?"

"What else can I do?" Zhu Li shrugged, "Check it out slowly. There is no impenetrable wall in the world. I don't believe they can really leave no trace."

Li Yize: "But in this way, it gave the others plenty of time to escape. According to the demons we rescued, only a few were auctioned on the black market, and most of them don't know where they are. Moreover, there are many black markets in Nanming. There can be no connection between them.”

"I understand what you mean," Zhu Li sighed again, "but there's nothing we can do, after all, this matter has crossed two worlds, and human beings are so fragile, and we can't force them to tell the truth by roasting them from the fire, so we have to take our time. coming."

The more he talked, the more "the future is not bright", so that the two of them fell silent at the same time. It took a long time for Li Yize to cough: "By the way, did the owner of the billiard hall catch him?"

"The room next door is being interrogated. I don't know how much I can spit out." Zhu Li took out his mobile phone, "What time is it, why isn't Peng Yu here yet? Didn't you make an appointment to come over in the morning to supervise? There is no real human being here. We It's not good to continue."

Li Yize was just about to tell him not to call Peng Yu while he was still sleeping, but Zhu Li had already dialed the phone, and then a very appropriate cell phone rang from him: "Bailongma, with its hooves facing west, pack a With Tang Sanzang following the three apprentices..."

The three apprentices of Doutu cast their gazes one after another. Li Yize was silent for three seconds, pulled out his cell phone and cut off the incoming call, and replaced the mentally handicapped ringtone with lightning speed.

He clearly remembered that this music wasn't there three days ago.

Zhu Li stared at him speechlessly: "Peng Yu's cell phone...why is it on you?"

Li Yize didn't want to explain to him what happened this morning at all, so he silently put the phone back in his pocket, forcefully avoiding the topic: "Call him another number."

Zhu Li glanced up and down at him three times, but he didn't seem to find a convincing reason, so he lowered his head without saying a word, and looked for Peng Yu's other number from the address book.

For a person like Boss Peng who has been in the business field for many years and has hundreds of partners at every turn, a mobile phone is naturally not enough. He was taken away by Li Yize in the morning. It is his personal mobile phone, and his contacts are all relatives and friends , important people, and "whistle", as for the other one, it is for office use. Zhu Li doesn't want to call because Peng Yu has become more and more passive and sabotage in recent years. The office mobile phone is always silent. It all depends on fate, sometimes when you see it, you don't pick it up if you don't want to, it's very willful.

Therefore, although Peng Yu has been stationed in the Xianzhou Inn all year round, the outside world feels that he is "absent and haunted". It is a great fortune to be able to contact him once, and he has to burn eight candles and incense to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

When you can contact him, it is probably because he is in a good mood, listens to your speech with great interest, and then throws a sentence: "What's the matter? Go to my assistant if you have something to do. Don't come to me for such trivial matters. I'm busy."

Busy dating a dragon.

As for who Boss Peng's assistant is, Zhu Li and the others have heard a little about it, but have never seen it. However, according to the busyness of this business, they all speculate that this assistant is an octopus spirit.

At this moment, Zhu Li was holding a hundred reluctances to dial the number that most of them were not answered, but before he dialed out, he heard a very loud sound of a sports car engine, and several people looked up at the door. Go, I saw Peng Yu getting off a trot, and whistled first: "Baby, do you miss me?"

Seeing his image, several people thought about the ringtone of the phone just now, and all gave him crazy looks.

Li Yize asked strangely, "Where did you get the car?"

"For rent," Peng Yu came over and patted Zhu Li on the shoulder first, "How did the interrogation go? Did you explain anything?"

Zhu Li shrugged helplessly, before answering, Xu Bing ran to him first: "Boss, Boss, I have something to tell you."

He repeated what he had said to Li Yize to Peng Yu, and the latter said in surprise, "Selling rat medicine? This kid..."

Before he finished speaking halfway, he first saw the people in the interrogation room through the glass, and his gaze immediately focused: "It turned out to be him."

Li Yize gave him a puzzled look, and Peng Yu frowned: "Do you still remember when I told you that I ran into an acquaintance at the auction? It was him, so I only met him once. who."

As he spoke, he pushed the door open and let the two Suzakus who were still interrogating go aside. Cui Liang raised his head when he heard the movement, and looked away slightly when he saw him.

Peng Yu sat down on the chair for this sharp-eyed dragon bird who failed to dodge and said, "Tell me, what do those three beasts have to do with you?"

The unease that Cui Liang had just flashed past has passed, and he regained his composure, continuing his invariable rhetoric: "What beast? I don't understand what you're talking about, I'm just here..."

"I'm just here to help," Peng Yu interrupted impatiently, "You want to say that you are just selling rat medicine, you don't know what's going on with Qiongqi in Baiwei Hotel, why it got out of control, and why Killed the hotel owner? Still want to say that Chaos and Taotie have nothing to do with you. You didn't panic because you bumped into me in the bathroom, thinking that either you or I would die, so you repeated the old trick and let Taotie destroy the entire black market. Do you think that we will not be able to catch your evidence, and if we are lucky, we can directly let us die in it, so as to avoid future troubles?"

Cui Liang stared at him coldly: "I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Oh," Peng Yu shrugged indifferently, "but that's not what the surviving demon in the Baiwei Hotel said, and a chef also identified you—do you really think you can get away with it once and for all by escaping to Nanming? , surnamed Sun?"
