Chapter 469: Carrying evil spirits
Gu Qingyi thought for a while, "So someone borrowed a large sum of money in the name of Happy Forest to let the Beggar Gang disciple gamble. After he lost the bet, he borrowed a lot of money in the name of Happy Forest. In the name of threatening him to steal the lotus bowl, who could that person be?"
Ma Lu looked at Mrs. Yin, "Did anyone else appear suspiciously in Happy Forest that day?"
Yin? The lady said, "I have a lot of guests here every day. I can't remember all the people who come and go, or I have no impression of most of them."
"Then we can communicate with the people in the gambling house. "Would you like to chat with the dealer?" Ma Lu said, "Since that person can pretend to be from Happy Forest, he is obviously very familiar with this place and must have visited it before.
"And he lent money to that Beggar Clan disciple, and then he had to follow him to see if he really went to Happy Forest, and he also had to make sure that the Beggar Clan disciple lost all the money he borrowed. It was reasonable for him to do so at that time They should all be here too."
Mrs. Yin raised her eyebrows and said, "If you are not worried about being misunderstood by the beggar gang, then come in. I will call out all the croupiers in the gambling house and let you. Come and ask."
Hearing this, Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi followed Mrs. Yin into the gate of Happy Forest, passed through the bathhouse behind the main entrance and came to the yard.
Mrs. Yin asked the two of them to sit here for a while. After a while, a group of girls came from the opposite corridor.
The girls are fat and thin, each with their own charm, and they are all stunning in the world.
But at this time, they were all dressed up like Mrs. Yin, with daggers close to their bodies, and their pretty faces were full of anxiety.
Gu Qingyi couldn't help but sigh when he saw them. There was a battle between the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen. No one could stay out of it, and he didn't know how many of these girls would survive until dawn. .
However, she was filled with emotion and did not forget about the business. After that, she and Malu asked the girls one by one.
As a result, they found another clue.
These girls can be selected by Madam Yin to work as dealers in Happy Forest. In addition to being good-looking, they also have poisonous eyes and outstanding observation skills.
According to a dealer named Mudan, when the beggar disciple came to gamble, he was followed by a man with a red birthmark under his right ear.
Mudan didn’t know the relationship between the two at first because they had never spoken.
However, once the Beggar Clan disciple lost money, he couldn't help but look at the man, which made Mudan have some impression of the man.
According to a croupier named Qinglian, the man with the red birthmark under his left ear had also come to Happy Forest to gamble for three days in a row.
Sometimes I watch others gamble, and sometimes I end up betting myself. However, the bets are not big, and there are losses and wins, so it is not eye-catching.
The reason why she noticed this man was because he clearly had a local accent, but Qinglian had never seen him in the county before.
In addition, Qinglian also noticed a detail, that is, there were many calluses on his fingers.
"That man should also be a martial artist, and he has killed people," Qinglian tilted her head and thought, "Although he didn't carry a weapon, he had an evil spirit about him, and he had companions."
“Companion?”
“That’s right.” Qinglian was very sure, “They pretended not to know each other and each had his own bet, but occasionally they would have eye contact, and that person was very friendly. He also has evil spirits in his body.”
"Hey, I also remembered what you said." Mudan interrupted at this time.
“That day, there were two people at the same table as the Beggar Clan disciple with fierce eyes, but they were different. They had been avoiding eye contact, but it was a bit too deliberate.”
“Ah. , is there more than one person who set up the trap?" Gu Qingyi already had the answer in his mind after asking.
To pretend to be from Happy Forest and lend money to the Beggar Gang disciple, and then ensure that the latter loses all the money in Happy Forest, only one person is obviously not enough .
This newly obtained clue immediately made her excited again. It was easier to find a group of people than one person, and the characteristics of those guys were also very obvious.
A group of ferocious-looking people in the world should be very eye-catching no matter where they go.
Ma Lu also thought of this and asked Mrs. Yin, "Can you help us find this group of people?"
He also had the attitude of giving it a try. After all, the current situation of Tianlongmen He also knew that they were at a disadvantage compared to the Beggar Clan, so basically all the people were huddled on their own territory, or to be more precise, in a few strongholds.
Unexpectedly, Mrs. Yin nodded after hearing this, "Give me half an hour. As long as this group of people are still in Yuchang County, I can find them."
Half an hour later, a young man dressed as a restaurant waiter came to Happy Forest and brought the whereabouts of the group.
The good news is that they are still in Yuchang County. The bad news is that the dyeing shop where they are hiding is the property of the Beggar Gang, and neither the boy nor the other disciples of the Qinglong Sect can enter.
Especially at this juncture, they can't force their way in.
Ma Lu asked where the dyeing workshop was. After thanking Mrs. Guoyin, he left Happy Forest and rushed there with Gu Qingyi.
After going out, Gu Qingyi looked up at the sky. The sunset had begun to set in the west, and there was only half an hour left before the sun set.
She didn't know if there was any chance of stopping the war between the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen, but now that she had new clues, she had to continue to pursue it, even if it was just to find out the truth.
The two of them soon arrived outside the dyeing workshop. The door of the dyeing workshop was closed tightly. There were no disciples of the Beggar Clan guarding the outside, and it was impossible to tell how many people were behind the door.
Gu Qingyi was worried that he would be in danger if he entered so rashly. He was about to ask Chu Qianyuan for help, but he didn't expect that Ma Lu had already kicked the door open and rushed in.
Ma Lu’s idea is very simple. This dyeing workshop is the property of the Beggars’ Gang, and he doesn’t know what the relationship between the people hiding in it is and the Beggars’ Gang. Now if he goes to the Beggars’ Gang for help, maybe he will To alert the snake.
The most important thing is that there is not enough time. When the Beggar Clan and Tianlongmen really start fighting, it will be chaos, and no one can guarantee that these people will still stay in the dyeing workshop.
Again, this is Yuchang County. Both Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi are just outsiders. Their intelligence, network, and power are not as good as those of the locals.
So you must act quickly at this time. Although thinking carefully before acting can avoid danger to a certain extent, it is also easy for the correct answer to slip away from your hands.
Ma Lu’s big kick on the door caught everyone in the dyehouse off guard.
The four big men in the front yard were playing cards. When they saw Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi rushing in, they all had a look of astonishment on their faces.
Ma Lu raised his hand and threw a handful of pebbles out, but this time, two people actually dodged.
Of course, this was because Ma Lu himself had never seriously practiced concealed weapons, but the movement skills of the two men were obviously not weak.
