Chapter 56 Gambler
Chen Ji watched as the dark clouds slowly retreated into the shadows and disappeared into the gambling house.
The dark clouds penetrated into the rain, regardless of the heavy rain pouring on their bodies, and searched all the way to all corners of the Hongyi Lane.
It flipped into a backyard and gently lifted a bamboo dustpan to reveal the fat orange cat inside.
When Wuyun saw that it was an orange cat, hesitated and asked: "Have you ever seen a wounded human escape tonight?"
Fatty Juice looked up and meowed: Ah?
Wuyun held back his temper: "I said, have you seen a wounded human..."
Fatty Jue meowed again in confusion: Ah?
The dark clouds covered the bamboo dustpan again: "I will ask you extra!"
It climbed back to the tallest building in Hongyi Lane, the roof of "Jinfang" under heavy rain.
It stood on the eaves and overlooked the entire Hongyi Lane, and quickly analyzed where the three flowers and the raccoons might appear.
However, the dark cloud suddenly saw hundreds of secret spies wearing straw raincoats were hiding quietly in the dark in ambush. Not only that, some secret spies pretended to be civilians and were searching door to door.
Although it was difficult to search for the defected spy detective under the heavy rain, the Golden Pig did not really give up!
Wuyun jumped down the eaves in an urgent heart, and he had to find the person before the spy department.
At this time, Chen Ji looked at the dark night outside through the back door of the gambling house, and felt a sense of crisis approaching.
Even if Chen Ji is good at reasoning, he will not be able to find the defected spy detective under this current situation.
Fortunately, the dark clouds brought a turning point... It depends on whether the dark clouds can find the defected spy detective before the secret spy department.
Chen Ji tidied up the straw raincoat on his body, pressed the brim of the hat on the hat, and turned back to the casino hall.
He found a secret spy and pointed to Chen Wenxiao who was squatting in the crowd: "Trag him into the house and hang him up, I have something to ask him."
Chen Wenxiao squatted on the ground for too long, so his legs were numb and he kept changing his posture, as if he was urged to urinate.
As he was speaking, a secret spy came to Chen Wenxiao, picked up his bun and left: "Ji, come with me."
Chen Wenxiao's hair was so painful that he could only grin and was pulled into the private room upstairs, tied with ropes and hung on the ceiling.
After a long time, the secret spy retreated, Chen Ji walked in wearing a hat and asked slowly: "Name."
"My father is Chen Liqin, the co-minister of Luocheng. You can't treat me like this!" Chen Wenxiao roared angrily and wanted to see Chen Ji's appearance clearly, but he was hanging on the beam of the room, his eyes were completely blocked by Chen Ji's hat, and he couldn't see clearly at all.
With a bang, Chen Ji whipped Chen Wenxiao with a feather duster and said coldly: "If you ask you, you will answer whatever you want, do you understand?"
"I understand," Chen Wenxiao's hands hurt, and he no longer had the elegance he had when he was rushing to Maluo City.
"Name."
"Chen Wenxiao."
Chen Ji asked: "Why are you connected with Jing Chao?"
"Ah?" Chen Wenxiaoren was stunned. He didn't know why he was involved in this serious crime.
Chen Wenxiao said in a panic: "I'm unfair, I didn't hook up with Jing Chao, I just came to the gambling house to play!"
"I wronged you?" Chen Ji asked with a sneer: "Why are your loan notes and accounts in the entire gambling store account book in Hongyi Lane? You are not a gambler here, you are clearly a spy detective in Jing Chao, who is here to pick up your colleagues!"
Chen Wenxiao was anxious: "I just returned from Donglin Academy for a few days. How can I have account transactions and loan notes?"
Chen Ji said gloomyly: "It seems that you have no means to prove yourself? Then let me go to the inner prison."
Chen Wenxiao was so scared that he was incontinent when he heard the word "Inner Prison". In the past few years, how many people have been able to get out of the Inner Prison alive? Not to mention that he is the son of a fifth-rank official, even the fifth-rank official died in it.
He thought for a long time: "Wait, before I went to Donglin Academy, I borrowed money from the gambling house with my brother Chen Ji's name, so I didn't have my name. You can search through the account books of each company and you will definitely find Chen Ji!"
Chen Wenxiao added: "In the past three years, I will go home to visit my relatives every year for a month during the Spring Festival. The name Chen Ji can definitely be found in the accounts at this time of year."
Chen Ji was speechless.
Does he have the account books of each gambling shop? Of course not. He just pretended to be filial to the public based on his own guesses.
Once upon a time, he really thought that his predecessor was a gambler. The Chen family hated him because he really had bad behavior.
But now, Chen Ji suddenly understood a lot of things.
He lowered his head and asked softly: "Since the name of Chenji is written, who should the gambling house ask for the account?"
Chen Wenxiao replied: "Of course I'm looking for my father. If my father doesn't want his family to be exposed, he can only recognize those IOUs."
Chen Ji was puzzled: "Do your father know that this is your debt?"
"I don't know, he thought it was Chen Ji."
Chen Ji was even more confused: "Can Chen Ji himself argue?"
"He has argued, but what's the use of his argument? His reputation has been stinking over the years. My father doesn't believe him at all... Sir, please put me down. I'm really not a spy detective Jing Chao, it's too uncomfortable to hang it on it."
Chen Ji sighed softly: "I'm not sure whether what you said is true now... For the sake of Lord Chen, I can let you go for the time being, but you have to write down everything you said just now and sign and seal it. If there is something that is not true, my spy department will go to Chen's house to find you."
Chen Wenxiao cried happily: "Don't worry, sir, every sentence I said is true and must be written clearly!"
Chen Ji walked out of the private room and gave a few instructions to the secret spy.
But two secret spies walked into the private room and closed the door. After a while, one of the secret spies came out with a piece of rice paper full of words and handed it to Chen Ji: "He has finished writing."
"Thank you," Chen Ji nodded and turned to the second floor, carefully stuffed the confession into his arms, protecting him under the straw raincoat.
"Big... Master," the secret spy didn't know the grade of Chen Ji, nor did he know what to call him, but when he saw Chen Ji followed Lord Jin Zhu, he should also be the confidant of Jin Zhu: "What should the people in the house deal with?"
Chen Ji walked up the wooden stairs and heard a light voice: "Continue to hang."
...
...
Just as Chen Ji went upstairs, he saw a secret spy running in outside the door. The other party threw off the raincoat covered in rain on the floor, pressed his waist knife and rushed to the second floor.
When he arrived at the door of the private room on the second floor, the secret spy bowed to the golden pig who was drinking tea inside and said, "My dear, fortunately, I finally found a witness. The witness was a vendor walking around the streets. He saw a man covering his wound on his waist tonight and running west!"
Chen Ji's mood gradually sank to the bottom. He didn't expect that the Golden Pig said on the surface that she couldn't find it, but he arranged a large number of people to find clues.
It was really found!
Where is the defected spy detective now? Will there be others seeing what the other party will tell after being arrested? Chen Ji knew nothing.
Chen Ji calmed down and looked at the Golden Pig: "Congratulations, the credit is close."
The Golden Pig stood up with a smile: "Send people to continue looking for it. When he fled, he must have been seen by others. All witnesses were found! Jing Chao Military Information Department sent so many people to arrest him, and this person must have a big secret! Tonight, be sure to find him!"
The secret spy took the order and hurried downstairs and walked out the door.
However, just as he walked out of the gambling house gate, he heard a rumbling sound and flew backwards backwards backwards, crushing the table in the gambling house!
With a clang, all the secret spies drew their swords and pointed their waist crossbow at the dark night outside the gambling house gate.
But the man was wearing a blue cloak. The other party just took the cloak off the collar, shook his hands in front of him, and then rolled all the crossbow arrows into the cloak, without any injuries!
The rain that was pouring on the sky fell around him, and it seemed like a magnet was pushed away, and no drop fell on him.
Chen Ji heard the golden pig beside him sneered: "This is not a spy detective from Jing Chao. It seems that this move is more like an official. I heard that he had retired from the mountains and forests in anonymous name, but I didn't expect to return to the world today... I'll take action, I want to live!"
The next moment, a secret spy took out a copper whistle and blew it.
There were shouts of killing outside the Hongyi Lane, and hundreds of secret spies came from the shadows and surrounded the official.
The golden pig walked down the stairs calmly and walked slowly outside the encirclement. He was holding a few copper coins in his hand, as if he was ready to take out his life at any time.
Chen Ji silently observed the situation. He didn't care whether the battle was a victory in the Military Information Department or a victory in the Secret Spies Department...
"Meow!"
A cat moan suddenly sounded, Chen Ji turned his head and looked out the window, but saw Wuyun standing on the windowsill: "I found it, a tabby cat said that he saw the other party fleeing to Anxi Street, in the backyard of the cloth shop that had just moved away."
Chen Ji frowned, why did the other party escape to Anxi Street by chance?!
The vicinity of Anxi Street is not a major transportation road, nor is it as good as the East City. The West City is mixed with fish and dragons and dragons, but because they are close to the royal palace, there are more soldiers patrolling overnight.
Is this spy detective going to find him or actually fleeing to Anxi Street? It's impossible to be that coincidentally!
The better the reasoning person, the less he believes in coincidences!
Chen Ji knew that he could no longer stay here, he had to deal with this spy detective!
But how to leave?
While thinking, the sound of tiles shattered above his head came. Chen Ji looked up and saw someone stepping on the wooden beams on the wooden roof and beams.
Not only that, footsteps also came from other directions one after another, running towards the windows on the second floor of the gambling house.
The officials outside the door were used to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and these spy detectives who invaded from all directions were the ones who killed and silenced them.
With a shout, a masked man in black turned upside down from the roof of the room into the window, like an eagle and falcon, slashing at Chen Ji without saying a word!
In the narrow room, Chen Ji picked up the chair beside him and smashed the spy to the spy. He quickly left the private room and went to the corridor on the second floor and shouted: "Sir Golden Pig, someone sneaked in from the upstairs!"
His shout attracted everyone's attention. The golden pig raised his eyebrows, turned around and killed him.
Just this time, the Golden Pig saw a spy prosecutor chasing him into the corridor with a knife.
The spy's sword detection technique was fierce, and the wood chips flew over while chopping. Chen Ji, a weak clinic apprentice, could only dodge left and right desperately, without any power to fight back!
With a hiss, the tip of the knife cut through Chen Ji's chest, making a huge hole in his straw raincoat, and blood seeped out of his clothes.
Just when everyone thought Chen Ji was about to die, they saw that Chen Ji had no idea where he burst out of courage, but instead of retreating, and crashed into the arms of the spy Jing Chao!
With his strength, Chen Ji used his arm to hold the spy detective's hand holding the knife and pushed the spy detective back to the private room, and knocked it out of the window on the second floor!
The golden pig was stunned for a moment, but saw his legs exerting a little force, and his fat body floated up to the second floor like a feather.
He rushed to the window and saw the Jing Chao spy who fell downstairs staggeringly chasing the seriously injured Chen Ji and stumbled into the dark rain outside the Hongyi Lane.
The golden pig stood in front of the window frame and let Ye Yu sweep it on him: "Strange, the spy detective Jing Chao came to kill people to silence him. Why did he ignore the target and chase Chen Ji as if he was trying his best?"
