"what happened?"
When Wang Juxi arrived, Gu Huiyang was already cold, and more than a dozen members of the Sihai Gang stood or sat in a circle around his body. Seeing the Dragon King arriving, everyone dispersed to make way for a passage. Wang Juxi looked at Gu Huiyang's death for a while and asked his men.
A young man with a shaved green skin emerged from the crowd - many members of the Sihai Gang wore this look. Because it was extremely inconvenient to get into the water with long hair, there was a five-year green-skinned rule. After five years at the latest, you can quit. The lowest level plumber has been promoted. Of course, those who could follow Wang Juxi were all his close men, and none of them were ordinary plumbers. This one still shaved his hair like this out of habit.
This young man is called Tie Yueyun. Although he is only in his mid-twenties, he has been in the gang for eight years. Tie Yueyun's martial arts both above and below the water were among the best among the younger generation, and his brain was very agile, so he was appreciated by Wang Juxi and became a small boss under Gu Huiyang.
The "Xiao Tie" Gui Sitong mentioned was exactly this person.
When the Dragon King asked, Tie Yueyun stood up. He was the first person to find out that Gu Huiyang was dead: "In reply to the Dragon King, I got up early this morning and asked the store owner to start cooking, and then I came up to wake up the two. The leader and his brothers. The one who informed him first returned to the leader. When he came to Brother Gu’s room, he knocked on the door but no one answered. I thought about it and let him sleep for a while. After calling all the brothers, we went to Brother Gu’s room together. , as soon as I opened the door, I saw that Brother Gu was gone..."
After telling this story, Tie Yueyun added: "Just now, the brothers looked at Brother Gu's body. There were three wounds, namely a palm on the chest, a knife on the stomach and... a cut of the throat. One knife."
After listening to Tie Yueyun's narration, Wang Juxi nodded. It was very common for everyone to fight and kill each other, and it was common for them to part ways and die. However, when the other brothers saw Gu Huiyang's death state, they looked a little confused and confused. Tie Yueyun was able to explain his words in an orderly manner as usual. As expected of someone he favored.
"What do you think?" Wang Juxi's words have already moved to the next question.
"The throat severing was very neat."
"It's also possible that he killed someone first and then cut his throat."
"This knife looks like it was chopped with a kitchen knife."
"The palm print left a big bruise."
"Without ten years of skill, I wouldn't be able to hit this palm."
"Even if I have ten years of skill... I will never give you just one slap."
"But there were basically no signs of fighting in the house."
"The distribution of blood stains in the house is also strange."
"A stab wound in the stomach is not the same as a stab wound in the throat."
"The knife in the stomach was stabbed with a sharp knife no more than two feet long."
"The butcher's knife is a two-foot-long sharp knife."
"Who else knows how to use a short-pointed knife?"
"What our Sihai Gang uses is short-pointed knives."
I don't know who said this. The gangsters who were talking about it all fell silent, and there was suddenly silence in the side room.
"Who? Who said this?" A member of the gang shouted, looking around as if to catch the person who was talking nonsense.
"Me." A sinister voice sounded from outside the crowd. Without even looking, everyone knew that this was their other leader Gui Sitong. The gang member who just now was asking who dared to speak rudely also quietly Lowered his head.
Gui Sitong pushed aside the crowd and walked to Wang Juxi's side, saying calmly: "The knife that cut the throat was struck after death, but which blow on the chest or stomach was the fatal wound... I didn't know."
"Do you think one of our own did it?" Wang Juxi lifted up his fox fur coat and gave Gui Sitong a meaningful look.
Gui Sitong and Wang Juxi looked at each other for a moment, then lowered their heads: "I don't dare, I just said it casually."
"Since you are not sure, don't say such things, as it will affect our internal unity." Wang Juxi turned his head back. "Who last saw the ancient leader?"
An arm was raised on the outer circle of the human wall, and he got into the circle with difficulty: "Replying to the Dragon King, last night around 1 hour, the brothers all went upstairs to rest, and the ancient leader said he wanted to go out to drink flowers. Drink, just go out alone.”
"What were you doing at that time?" Wang Juxi asked.
"Replying to the Dragon King, my subordinate was on night duty yesterday. At that time, the ancient leader asked me if I was going. How could I dare to leave my post without permission when I was on duty, so I refused." The gangster replied honestly.
Damn, that's not easy to worry about. Wang Juxi cursed secretly in his heart, and then called another member of the gang: "Go and find out where Gu Huiyang went last night and whether he had any conflicts with anyone." After the others took the order and left, he looked at the others. : "Who has Gu Huiyang offended recently?"
Everyone discussed again and again, and finally came to a conclusion: "Except for Duan Tianying, Gu Huiyang doesn't seem to have had any conflicts with anyone."
Although they were outside the boundary of Luzhou where the chief helmsman of the Beggar Clan was, it was not far away. If Duan Tianying had been following them to seek revenge, he would not be able to escape.
"Duan Tianying..." Wang Juxi recalled this person. He had met Duan Tianying several times and had seen him take action: "He doesn't have this ability yet, does he?"
Duan Tianying was very capable, but he and Gu Huiyang were brothers. If he could kill Gu Huiyang with one palm, not to mention Wang Juxi, not even his subordinates would believe it.
"Huo Yunzhen can."
Gui Sitong said something again that made the atmosphere very subtle. He always said such inappropriate words, but others did not dare to say them.
"Why did Huo Yunzhen kill Gu Huiyang?" This time Wang Juxi did not say anything to Zhi Gui Sitong.
The crowd fell silent again. Judging from Huo Yunzhen's attitude, he valued Wang Juxi's helper very much. There was no reason to demolish the bridge before crossing the river. As for Huo Yunzhen killing Gu Huiyang to stand up for his subordinates? The possibility of this conclusion is basically non-existent. This is purely mentally retarded behavior.
"Masters... Do we want to report it to the official?" A timid middle-aged man knocked on the door of the wing. This was the owner of the inn. He had heard about the death of someone upstairs early in the morning, but looking at the menacing looks of those people, They all dressed up as people in the world, but they didn't talk too much. However, it was almost noon and there was still no movement above, so I couldn't help but come up and ask.
"Boss, did you see this person last night? Did you see anything weird?" Wang Juxi pulled the store owner into the side room and asked him to take a closer look at Gu Huiyang's face.
The store owner had never seen a scene of horrific death. He was so frightened that his legs softened and his voice trembled: "Uh... Dear heroes, I only saw him going out last night, but I didn't see when he would come back... ...As for the weird things, I don’t know anything about it! However, in the second half of the night, I faintly heard strange movements upstairs, but I couldn’t hear clearly which room it was in.”
After asking the innkeeper around for a long time, he couldn't get a fart out of his head. Wang Juxi deserved to let him go. He also signaled a little brother to stuff some silver coins into the owner's hand - both as hush money and as compensation - the inn If someone is killed, the boss's business will inevitably be affected. If he doesn't give money at this time, there is no guarantee that he will be able to talk about it afterwards.
In fact, even if they don't give the boss a penny, they dare not say anything, but it is better to use money to open a way than to plant a root of trouble. Wang Juxi also knows this well.
As for reporting to the official—you definitely can’t report to the official.
The grievances in the world are over, who wants to report to the official bastard?
If you apply for an official position, you will be laughed at by your colleagues, so don't do it in the future. What's more, the yamen doesn't bother to care about the complicated grievances and grievances of these gangsters. The servants only get their hard-earned money, not to mention that these gangsters can do anything when they get angry, so they can't risk their lives with them. The death of one more gangster in the yamen will give you a little more peace of mind. I wish all these gangsters were dead!
"Actually...even if it wasn't Huo Yunzhen who killed him, he could have been killed by Huo Yunzhen." Tie Yueyun suddenly muttered something like this. His voice was not loud, but the room was not big either. Everyone happened to hear this and looked sideways. .
Wang Juxi's eyes inadvertently revealed a glimmer of approval, but he didn't let others see it. His voice was as calm as ever: "Continue."
Seeing the Dragon King speak, Tie Yueyun scratched his round head and continued: "We just met with the Beggar Clan and something happened, and it was still on the Beggar Clan's land. If the Beggar Clan is not responsible for this, who will be responsible? ?”
"Then what if the Beggar Clan doesn't want to admit this debt?" someone asked.
"Then let's just say that Gu Huiyang and Duan Tianying died after the conflict - now we are not trying to find out who the real murderer is, but the Beggar Gang wants to find the real murderer in order to clear their own suspicions." Yue Yun analyzed it seriously.
"If the Beggar Gang finds the real culprit, then they clear their suspicions, and we don't have to waste much effort, and everyone is happy; if the Beggar Gang doesn't find the real culprit, or they are the real culprit but dare not admit it, then we have to give it to our eldest brother. Isn’t that right? Let’s put forward conditions then!”
After listening to Tie Yueyun's words, everyone already had varying degrees of recognition in their hearts, but they still had to wait for the Dragon King to speak.
Wang Juxi thought for a while and then nodded: "Then Xiaotie will handle this matter. Just name a few brothers and leave now."
After Tie Yueyun took the order, everyone dispersed, leaving only one living person, one dead person, and a person who looked like a dead person.
"Sitong, do you think it was one of our own who did it?" Wang Juxi glanced at Gui Sitong.
Gui Sitong always has that scary expression. To a certain extent, he is more difficult to read than the person lying on the bed. "It's not necessarily the people here..."
"The gang leader...or maybe other people under the Dragon King."
"Well..." The iron walnut in Wang Juxi's hand was rubbing, "I'd like to trouble you to make another trip to Kuyun City."
"Tell Jia Rengui, if the Dongchuang incident really happens, don't rush to bite Xu Lingquan into the water. Shake off Huo Yunzhen's mud first."
