The Donghai Xinfadi Racecourse was just completed three years ago. It is the most luxurious and spectacular racecourse in the empire. It covers an area of ​​several thousand acres and can accommodate more than 5,000 racehorses. It has six tracks with curves and 64 The separate training ground for trotting horses gathers the top horse racing facilities in the empire. The annual Imperial Equestrian Championship is held at the Donghai Racecourse.

The six-story grandstand of Xinfadi Racecourse can accommodate 80,000 spectators. The second and third floors of the grandstand are VIP areas, various business boxes and suites with the best seats for real tycoons to watch horse racing.

The luxurious suite No. 12 was a gift given to Jennifer by the old Lord Reno on her 12th birthday. In addition, there was also an Arthur-class horse named "Princess Love". The colt is now 3 and a half years old. This is when a horse’s physical strength is at its peak.

However, its strength is not very good, and it is only a Class 4 horse now.

Horse racing ranges from Class 1 to Class 5, with strengths ranging from high to low.

Today is the regular weekly racing day at Xinfadi Racecourse. There are 8 races this afternoon and evening. The most important one is a Grade 3 race that will be held soon, called the "Great Free Sprint Championship", which is 1000. Handicap match for meters.

In a handicap race, simply put, horses from lower classes can also participate, and extra points are given to them, so that horses from lower classes can also achieve good results.

Otherwise, horse racing bettors would not be able to bet.

Of course, when it comes to the second-level and first-level competitions, there will be no handicap, and the lower class horses will have no chance to participate.

It feels a little different from the Hong Kong horse racing system, but it is generally similar. Lu Ming quickly understood the rules.

I have been busy day and night these days. Today is a horse racing day. In the evening, I made an appointment with Han Anni to watch the horse racing to relax.

Jennifer had specifically asked her not to watch the horse racing tonight. Now that she was occupying the magpie's nest in the luxurious horse watching suite No. 12, Lu Ming felt a little sorry for the little girl.

However, I was not very interested in horse racing, so I quickly took a look at the information just transferred from the police station.

Han Anni, on the other hand, was holding a telescope on the long balcony outside, watching with great interest.

Originally, Lu Ming didn't pay much attention to some of the latest information about Xiao Cui's case that was transferred from the police station.

In the past few days, Fumosi and his police team have been deployed to secretly search for visitors from the north.

It's very possible that a killer is coming from the north.

He should have found it difficult to find an opportunity to attack him, but he found Li Mingxuan.

After all, as long as you are serious about the cases you handle, you can find them in old newspapers and periodicals in the East China Sea.

The leader of these killers is definitely a powerful figure. After discovering Li Mingxuan's case, he came up with such a vicious plan.

Li Mingxuan once escaped from their hands and came to the East China Sea to interact with him. In their eyes, Li Mingxuan clearly knew where he was and was their minion.

What's more, they have already killed Li Mingxuan's whole family, so Li Mingxuan must also die.

By killing Xiao Cui, they greatly increased their chances of entering into this serial scheme.

This made me suspicious of Li Mingxuan, and maybe I would take action to eliminate Li Mingxuan for them.

Or, it may make him target Liu Shoucheng, and thus lead to a head-on conflict with the local powerful.

Anyway, get yourself moving.

They will then have an opportunity to assassinate themselves.

Nowadays, not only is Fumosi looking for these visitors from the north, but he also spends another sum of money on the old ghost. In addition, Wen Liangyu also mobilizes the backbone members of the trade union to pay attention to the recent arrivals from the north.

Because he didn't want to alert the snake, Wen Liangyu didn't let Wen Liangyu mobilize the power of the trade union. Otherwise, there were tens of thousands of construction workers, and their connections were mostly at the bottom, in various large car shops and small hotels. It would be difficult to find these visitors from the north. Disaster.

But if you rely on these people to find it, by the time you send someone there, all the people will be gone, and maybe someone will be killed.

Not to mention, he wanted to catch him alive.

As for Bizhu, I don't use it unless absolutely necessary. I don't believe that I, a grown man, have traveled to the East China Sea for a year and still can't deal with a few river worms.

The case is basically like this. I didn't pay attention to any new information transferred from the police station.

But when he opened it and looked at it, Lu Ming couldn't help but be slightly startled.

But it was Liu Shoucheng who went to the police station to report Li Mingxuan in person, and there was a handwritten letter written by Xiao Cui.

This personal letter from Xiao Cui is also in the folder.

Xiaocui's letter said that she was now forced to be with Li Mingxuan.

Li Mingxuan caught her, imprisoned her for a month, and threatened to kill her whole family.

After being tortured in confinement for a month, Xiaocui became neurotic and especially afraid of Li Mingxuan.

From Xiaocui's description in the letter, it can be seen that Xiaocui is full of fear of Li Mingxuan.

Moreover, judging from the tone of this letter, she wrote it to herself.

It's just that I don't know how to get it to myself.

Liu Shoucheng said that he happened to go to the neighborhood to do business, and Xiaocui gave him the letter and asked him to forward it to lawyer Lu Qianxing.

Looking at Liu Shoucheng's transcript, it seems that the Chinese New Year is coming soon, and he has not yet found any way to give the letter to himself. Moreover, he is also very hesitant about whether to give the letter to himself.

Then, a few days later, Xiaocui's tavern caught fire.

Because Li Mingxuan testified against him to the police, he learned about Xiao Cui's death from people he knew at the police station.

After hesitating for a while, Liu Shoucheng arrived at the police station and handed the letter to the police.

He believes that the real person who killed Xiaocui must be Li Mingxuan.

Lu Ming stared blankly.

Liu Shoucheng's testimony transcript, Xiao Cui's autograph letter.

This letter is Xiaocui's handwriting, and the police have identified it.

After sitting in silence for a while, Lu Ming picked up the phone from the coffee table and dialed a few numbers. Soon, he picked up the phone.

"Cuff Li Mingxuan. From now on, he will be treated as a prisoner."

Today, Li Mingxuan is under strict protection in a secret location.

Putting down the phone, Lu Ming smiled bitterly. After all, he still couldn't get away with it.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with Li Mingxuan?" Han Anni happened to come in and was surprised when she heard the content of Lu Ming's phone call.

Lu Ming pointed to Liu Shoucheng's transcript and Xiaocui's handwritten letter, and sighed, "Read it yourself."

Han Anni sat down and started reading.

Lu Ming picked up the cigarette pack on the coffee table, lit a cigarette, and smoked silently.

The cigarette in his hand was suddenly taken away by the white hand stretched out from the side and put out in the ashtray.

"This has nothing to do with you. You don't have to feel guilty. It's Li Mingxuan's fault and the crimes committed by those killers!" Han Anni looked at Lu Ming. At this moment, her soft and clear big eyes were particularly bright and determined.

Lu Ming smiled bitterly, "You don't understand. I always feel that I have a big responsibility when he becomes like this."

"Why don't I know? In Wu'an, I thought there was something wrong with his character. He was too gloomy."

Lu Ming shook his head.

Han Anni frowned: "You're a big smoker, I have a bad impression of you, but you are not like him, you don't have that sinister smell. Even if you are bad, you are bad on the surface. Don’t you believe me?”

Lu Ming smiled and stood up, "Okay, let's stop talking and go watch the horse racing. There is no point in disturbing your interest."

The phone rang on the coffee table.

Lu Ming answered the phone, hummed twice, and frowned slightly.

Han Anni smiled and said: "Okay, let's go, don't delay your business, thank you for inviting me to watch the horse racing today, although I don't know if I am borrowing the room of one of your noble lovers."

In the bedroom, you can clearly see the elements of an aristocratic little girl, with various laces and beautiful girly oil paintings.

After listening to Han Anni's words, Lu Ming smiled bitterly and said to himself that it seemed to be self-defeating and his points were lost again. He had never thought about this before coming here.



Husky Inn.

Room 302.

Lu Ming stood at the door, watching several police detectives inside busy collecting fingerprints, footprints, and all traces left behind.

Several police dogs sniffed some objects under the command of police officers.

During the investigation of all the large and small hotels in the East China Sea, Fumosi instinctively felt that there was something wrong with the few people staying in this suite.

I heard from the hotel owner and the waiter that these five people looked very strange at first glance. They lived in seclusion, and only one of them communicated with the hotel and the waiter. He had a Hanzhou accent in the west. The other four people did not speak much as long as outsiders were present.

But when Fumosi gathered his men and launched a direct attack, the place was already deserted.

"Master, this used to be your chief's private room, right?" Fumosi's expression was very solemn. This meaty female police detective rarely looked so serious.

Lu Ming nodded.

"They are studying you, and they are not afraid of you." Fumosi gritted his teeth.

"Is he your enemy in the north, young master?" Fu Mosi suddenly asked.

Lu Ming smiled: "Probably so."

"Then let them be afraid!" Fumosi's eyes flashed fiercely, "These people, how should I put it, are very arrogant, but also very ridiculous. They give me the feeling that they are professional killers of the last century. They should all be able to When using instruments, they are all sharp. Look, there are also scraps left by the whetstone. Isn’t it ridiculous? They are all very arrogant, but they have no idea how our Donghai police detectives do things nowadays, and they don’t understand trace science. , don’t understand forensic science, and the clues they left behind really opened my eyes, and I am confident that I will be able to hunt them down soon!”

Lu Ming smiled and patted Fumosi on the shoulder, "They should be very agile. They have been practicing martial arts since they were young. Police officers should pay attention to safety."

Fumosi nodded: "Understood! We will use protective gear so that they can never imagine that they are living in the Stone Age and are still professional killers. It is simply ridiculous."

Uncle Sun, who was standing not far from Lu Ming, had a sad look in his eyes as he listened to Fu Mosi's words.

Lu Ming noticed it and slowly walked to his side.

"They are not your kind." Lu Ming said calmly.

"Yes, I understand!" Uncle Sun smiled bitterly.

"In the north, there are more strange people and strangers? Have you ever thought about going to the north to look for successors?" Lu Ming asked.

"I've been there before, and the north and south are all average, and there aren't any children with outstanding qualifications. These few people are also mediocre people."

Lu Ming nodded. With the Holy Envoy in front, the mediocre person in Uncle Sun's eyes should be regarded as a ruthless character. For example, there should be no problem in dealing with a half-hearted person like Lord Long. I don't know if there is any killing of Long in this. My murderer.

Thinking about it, Lu Ming gritted his teeth.
