Card Room

【Chapter 341, Birthday Banquet】

On the first day after entering the secret room, Yu Hanjiang was shot in the abdomen and suffered a cardiac arrest and was pushed into the emergency room. Now thinking of the scene at that time, Xiao Lou still has lingering fears. If not for the timely rescue, Yu Hanjiang might have died on the operating table.

Xiao Lou took a deep breath to stabilize his mind, looked at Yu Hanjiang and said, "You mean, the person who was hiding at Cheng Shaofeng's house and shot you with a gun was not the murderer who killed his brother, but... the organization The killer sent?"

Yu Hanjiang went to Cheng Shaofeng to investigate the "Cheng Shaoyu Corpse Dismemberment Case".

Judging from Liu Qiao's description, Cheng Shaofeng went to see his brother on a rainy night on January 25th, and saw a tall man wearing a black raincoat and carrying a black garbage bag near his brother's residence. The murderer who killed his brother.

If this speculation is true, then Cheng Shaofeng has become a witness to his brother's murder, and the person most motivated to kill Cheng Shaofeng to silence him is naturally the murderer of Cheng Shaoyu's case.

But now it seems that this is not the case. That person has a gun in his hand, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get a gun.

Yu Hanjiang closed his eyes and carefully recalled the scene at that time. He remembered that he and his colleagues parked the police car at the gate of the community and entered the community on foot. When he came to the entrance of Cheng Shaofeng's villa, he found that the door was not locked. Yu Hanjiang pushed the door and went in. The room was pitch black. Just as he was about to turn on the flashlight, there was a "bang" gunshot next to his ears, followed by a black figure leaping out of the window escape……

This fragment remained clearly in his memory, but no matter how he recalled it, he couldn't see the killer's appearance clearly. Judging from the black shadow, the opponent should be a man with a height of about 1.7 meters, with quick and flexible movements.

Yu Hanjiang frowned and analyzed: "The murderer's motive for killing Cheng Shaoyu was for revenge. It is likely to be the relative of the victim who transplanted the heart to Cheng Shaoyu. He was not so powerful and knew in advance that we were going to investigate Cheng Shaofeng. I remember investigating Cheng Shaofeng at that time." It is a secret operation, and it is impossible to leak information.”

Ye Qi froze for a moment, scratched his head in doubt and asked, "Could it be, is this a coincidence?"

Yu Hanjiang rubbed his chin thoughtfully: "That killer probably hid in Cheng Shaofeng's house for several days, and he just waited for Cheng Shaofeng to come back to kill him. I opened the door and went in, and he mistook me for Cheng Shaofeng, so he treated me It fired." Yu Hanjiang looked back at Xiao Lou, "What do you think?"

Xiao Lou thought about it carefully, and nodded in agreement: "It makes sense. This can also explain why Cheng Shaofeng has already prepared his private jet to flee the country, and why someone killed him halfway. It seems that the organization must get rid of him. "

Lao Mo guessed: "Could it be that he was chased and killed by the organization because he knew a secret that he shouldn't know?"

A powerful young master like Cheng Shaofeng must already be at the top of the management level in the organization. What secrets are there that he can't know and will lead to death?

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, and said in unison: "Is the identity of the leader of the organization?"

"That's right, only the boss will execute his subordinates." Ye Qi gasped, and said, "Murder, organ trafficking, arms smuggling, if the boss of this organization's identity is revealed, any crime is enough for him to be sentenced to death! So, this boss may have been hiding behind the scenes, and even the top management of the organization did not know his true identity, but called him by his code name?"

Lao Mo looked complicated: "The code name is Brother Rong?"

This kind of speculation made everyone tremble with fear, but after careful consideration, they felt that it was reasonable.

Yu Hanjiang was silent for a moment, and concluded: "There are two possibilities. The first one is that the 'Brother Rong' that Cheng Shaofeng called at that time was one of the suspects we were investigating, and he was familiar with him, such as his senior Lin Rongrong, or the drug company His boss, Rong Cheng, this 'Brother Rong' arranged for him to go abroad on a private jet, and he accepted orders from his superiors to secretly kill him on the way."

"Secondly, the 'Brother Rong' on Cheng Shaofeng's phone is the leader of the organization. He has never shown his face. Cheng Shaofeng accidentally found out the identity of the other party. The other party deliberately arranged for Cheng Shaofeng to go abroad on a private jet, in fact, to kill him and silence him. .”

Xiao Lou nodded and said: "No matter what the situation is, Brother Rong must be related to the driver who killed Cheng Shaofeng."

Ye Qi asked curiously, "Did the driver confess?"

"No." Yu Hanjiang said: "The driver was arrested by me and interrogated. He insisted that he was driving tired and forgot to look in the rearview mirror when he changed lanes, which caused Cheng Shaofeng's car accident. I didn't arrange for anyone to interrogate him in the next two days. If he is locked up, he will definitely think wildly in a panic, let him be nervous for two days first. After I go back tomorrow, I will conduct a high-pressure interrogation on him overnight to see if I can pry his mouth open."

With Yu Hanjiang personally interrogating, Xiao Lou felt that the driver would not last long. He was worried about another problem: "We triggered the alarm when we entered the secret room just now. I'm afraid this operation has already alarmed the enemy, and they will immediately transfer the weapons. It will be difficult for the police to find evidence by then."

"Don't worry." Yu Hanjiang said, "When I left just now, I restored the mirror, put their hair back in the gap in the mirror, destroyed the surveillance camera, and lit a fire in the trash can in the bathroom .”

"..." Xiao Lou looked at him in disbelief, "In such a short time, you have time to arrange these?"

"Put on the Gale Shoes, the speed will increase by five times, a few seconds is enough." Yu Hanjiang said calmly.

He is a policeman. When it comes to "anti-investigation" methods, no one is more professional than the policeman.

"Captain Yu is very thoughtful." Ye Qi said with a thumbs up, "In this way, they will think that the siren sounded suddenly on the third floor because the bathroom caught fire

? "

"I hope I can get away with it." Yu Hanjiang was also trying to make up for it, but if the other party was more careful and left other clues on the mirror, as long as the mirror moved, he could detect it, then he couldn't help it.

***

At this time, Tianya clubhouse.

After receiving the news, He Rong walked quickly to the mirror at the end of the third floor.

The mirror was the same as usual, and the hair caught in the gap was still in its original position. The trash can in the bathroom is emitting black smoke, the siren on the roof is flashing red...

It all looked like someone accidentally lit the trash with a cigarette in the bathroom, setting off the smoke alarm.

However, the frequency of the alarm bell when the mirror is opened is different from that of the usual smoke alarm. The former sounds once every second, while the latter sounds three times every second. The siren has been specially modified.

He can't get it wrong!

He Rong's face was livid, and he immediately turned his head and said to his subordinates, "Go and check the surveillance for me, and see who passed by in the corridor on the third floor just now!"

The subordinate went to the monitoring room to call up the surveillance video in the corridor on the third floor——the result was a black screen. He Rong jumped into a rage, and slapped the table forcefully: "When did the monitor break down?!"

The security guard in charge of monitoring tremblingly said: "This...was fine just now? I just went to lie in the bathroom, why did it break down...Brother Rong, I really, really don't know."

He Rong tore at the other party's collar with all his strength, and roared, "Didn't I tell you to keep staring? What the hell do you go to the bathroom at a critical moment?!"

The security guard trembled with fright, his face pale as paper.

He Rong threw him onto the stool next to him, picked up the phone with a sullen face, and dialed someone.

The call was connected quickly, and He Rong said in a respectful tone: "Boss, it seems that someone has entered my warehouse. I suspect that we have been targeted by the note. Tomorrow's transaction...do you want to change the location?"

The other party said indifferently; "You are overthinking, Tiao Zi is not that capable, the transaction continues."

He Rong could only nod obediently: "Then let's meet at the old place, see you there or be square."

After hanging up the phone, He Rong always felt a little uneasy.

The other party is a master, leaving no traces, the mirror looks exactly the same as before, even the position of the hair has not changed. However, it is too coincidental that the monitoring is broken, right? He didn't know if anyone had been on the third floor, and he wasn't sure if the mirror had been opened...

I hope I think too much.

He Rong turned and left with a sullen face, but he didn't know that his every move just now had been monitored by the drone and transmitted to the card screens of Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou.

Xiao Lou looked at Yu Hanjiang in admiration: "He wanted to check the surveillance to find us, but unexpectedly, the Yu team monitored his movements instead."

[Drone] This card is an S card given to them by Tang Ci at that time, and it can be placed high in the sky. Monitoring the dynamic images within the specified range, Yu Hanjiang completed a series of operations in just a few seconds, restoring the mirror, lighting the bathroom, destroying the monitor, and placing the drone. Sensitive action at critical moments.

Ye Qi also moved his head to look at the picture on the card, and asked suspiciously: "The deal? The deal He Rong mentioned, shouldn't it be the batch of weapons in the secret warehouse? Tomorrow he will hand over the weapons to Boss?"

"Yeah." Yu Hanjiang confirmed Ye Qi's speculation, and said, "The batch of guns in the warehouse on the third floor are very new. They should be a batch of goods they just bought, and they haven't had time to trade them yet. Tomorrow, Uncle Zhong's birthday party will be celebrated." Rong will definitely attend, and the birthday banquet is booked at the largest five-star hotel in the locality, and we will find out if the transaction is carried out in the hotel."

***

After the four of Xiao Lou came out of Taohuayuan, they went back to rest for a night.

At noon the next day, Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang came to the five-star hotel together, and Ye Qi and Lao Mo also pretended to go shopping and strolled to the door of the hotel. Ye Qi pointed at the magnificent hotel curiously, and said in a childlike and innocent tone: "Grandpa, this hotel is very beautiful, shall we go and stay here?"

Lao Mo took him to the door and wanted to go in, but was stopped by the security guard.

Lao Mo said with a smile: "We are from out of town and want to stay in this hotel. Is there any room available?"

The security guard said with a cold face: "Today, the boss has reserved the venue and does not accept individual guests. Please find another place to live."

Lao Mo regretfully took Ye Qi and turned around to leave.

Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang took advantage of the attention of the security guards to be attracted by the old and the young, and quickly went around to the back of the hotel. Yu Hanjiang glanced at the tall stone pillars and said, "Let's fly up from here, and then find a window to enter the hotel."

Xiao Lou looked up at the ten-storey building, and asked worriedly, "Can the Qinggong card fly so high?"

"Don't worry, I have a solution."

After Yu Hanjiang finished speaking, he stretched out his long arms and gently wrapped his arms around Xiao Lou's waist. He activated the lightness kung fu card, took advantage of no one around, stretched his legs slightly, and jumped onto an air conditioner on the third floor like a flexible flying goose holding Xiao Lou in his arms. Then, using this landing point, he continued to jump to the sixth floor...

In a few seconds, Yu Hanjiang flew to the tenth floor. He found an open window and entered the hotel through the window.

A guest has just left, and the bedding in the room is still a bit messy, and the auntie cleaner is opening the window for ventilation and cleaning. Suddenly seeing two handsome men come in from the window on the tenth floor, the aunt was so frightened that she opened her mouth wide and was about to scream. Yu Hanjiang leaped over, covered her mouth with force, and slashed her neck with a knife, and the aunt stood upright. fell down.

Yu Hanjiang helped her to sit on the sofa, and gave Xiao Lou a wink

color.

Xiao Lou nodded, and took out a key card from her pocket. For the convenience of cleaning, the cleaner's door card can be used to swipe the elevator to reach any floor. The two left the room and went straight to the hotel restaurant on the eighth floor.

The birthday banquet has not officially started yet, but the scene has been set up.

Dahong's "Shou" copybook was on the wall, which looked very festive, and there were many birthday peaches on the banquet table.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou came to the kitchen, beat the two waiters unconscious and tied them to the bathroom, and quickly changed into their clothes.

At 12:30 noon, the guests rushed to the scene one after another to celebrate the birthday star.

As today's protagonist, Uncle Zhong is wearing a wine-red Tang suit with a smile on his face. At the age of 60, he looked in good spirits. Obviously, he was very satisfied with the birthday banquet arranged by his nephew, and he cheerfully accepted the gift and received it softly.

The people who came were all prominent figures in the small town, the big bosses of the house.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou carried the trays and delivered the food between the tables deftly, while observing the guests...

Apart from Uncle Zhong and his nephew He Rong, there are no other suspicious persons for the time being. Lin Rongrong, Rong Cheng, and Nie Rong who were on their list of suspects did not come.

The two were wondering, when they heard someone beside him say to Uncle Zhong: "Boss Song is here!"

Uncle Zhong immediately stood up to greet him. Xiao Lou and Yu Hanjiang turned their gazes to the door, and saw a tall man in a black suit and sunglasses walking in, and beside him was a woman with short hair and full of aura in a royal blue cheongsam.

Yu Hanjiang whispered in Xiao Lou's ear: "The female Song Xiaoqing is the female boss who bought the house in He Rong's country at a high price; the male Song Dongping is Song Xiaoqing's brother and the developer of the Jinxiu Villa real estate project in Qingshui Town. "

Xiao Lou nodded. He remembered that these two people were also on Team Yu's list of suspects.

Although their names don't match "Rong", they have frequent economic contacts with He Rong. Song Xiaoqing bought He Rong's country house at a high price, and He Rong bought three properties in Jinxiu Villa developed by her brother, And transformed it into a mansion for my uncle to live in, not to mention, Song Xiaoqing was once the secret lover of Rong Cheng, the boss of the pharmaceutical company...

The interests of this group of people are very complicated, which deserves Yu Hanjiang's special attention.

Seeing that the Song family brothers and sisters walked straight in front of Mr. Zhong, Song Dongping smiled and said, "Mr. Zhong's 60th birthday, our brothers and sisters wish you blessings like the East China Sea and a longevity like Nanshan!" Song Xiaoqing opened a box and gave a piece of jade to Uncle Zhong : "Small kindness, please accept it with a smile, Uncle Zhong."

Uncle Zhong looked at the crystal-clear jade and narrowed his eyes with a smile: "President Song is so kind!"

Several people exchanged pleasantries for a while, and after being seated, He Rong said a few words on behalf of Uncle Zhong, thanking everyone for coming, and the birthday banquet officially started at one o'clock.

The scene of the birthday banquet was very lively.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou shuttled between them carrying dishes and delivering food, but they didn't notice any suspicious movements—everyone was just eating, drinking and chatting. He Rong stayed by Uncle Zhong's side all the time, helping Uncle Zhong serve tea and water, and had no intention of getting up and leaving.

Could it be that they were wrong?

The transaction was not carried out in the hotel, and Uncle Zhong just celebrated his birthday?

As time passed, half of the delicacies on the table were eaten. When everyone was full, they took turns to toast Uncle Zhong to celebrate his birthday.

Uncle Zhong is in a good mood today, he doesn't refuse anyone who comes, he drank a lot of wine, his cheeks flushed.

A bald boss with a beer belly stepped forward: "Mr. Chong, thank you for your care these past few years. I wish you a long life!"

Uncle Zhong took it with a smile and was told, "Okay, thank you Mr. Zhang, I'll finish this cup!"

Red wine flowed down his lips and down his throat.

The next moment, Mr. Zhong suddenly rolled his eyes and fell straight on the ground.

"Ah—" piercing screams sounded from all around.

He Rong's complexion changed, and he said in a trembling voice, "Uncle? What's wrong with you, Uncle?!"

Yu Hanjiang turned his head quickly and walked quickly to the scene.

In the crowd, Mr. Zhong's whole body was stiff, with a glaring blood dripping from the corner of his lips. He was lying on the ground with his eyes wide open, his face full of unbelievable horror.

He Rong stretched out his hand to test his breathing, and immediately burst into tears: "Uncle! Uncle, wake up! What are you doing here? Call 120! Call an ambulance!"

The surroundings suddenly became chaotic.

Yu Hanjiang and Xiao Lou looked at each other, feeling a chill in their hearts at the same time.

They wanted to find some clues at the birthday banquet, but unexpectedly, Uncle Zhong's 60th birthday banquet... turned into a funeral.
