Zhang Li watched the two masters in the courtyard fight back and forth with great interest. He said,"No, I just think that Master Lin and Master Chen fought very well. It was more enjoyable than the 'Legend of Huang Feihong' that was shown at the Central Entertainment Theater last time.”
Wu Yingjun shook his head disapprovingly. He threw the stone in his hand high and caught it again. He stood up and said to Zhang Li,"The show is fake. I'm going out to get some fresh air.”
"If you want to go, go by yourself. It's rare to see a free show. I want to stay and watch for a while.”Zhang Li ignored Wu Yingjun and only cared about watching Lin Huairen and Chen Shiwu fight.
"Pick!" Wu Yingjun waved his hand, opened the door of the dojo, and walked out.
After leaving the dojo, Wu Yingjun first ordered a bowl of beef offal from a roadside stall. After eating, he strolled into a dark and narrow alley. He came to a familiar house and pushed the door open.
As soon as the door was pushed open, a pressing heat wave mixed with the smell of sweat hit the face. There were no less than 50 people crowded in the small house, all gathered around a table.
Most of these people were wearing tattered clothes, and some of them didn't even have shoes. They were still wearing short shirts and shorts in the cold weather, but their faces were all filled with madness, and their eyes were fixed on a porcelain jar on the table.
"Drive the camel, drive!"
"Awesome…Awesome!"
"Human, it must be a human!”
Different shouts rose and fell from the crowd. As the dealer in front of the table smashed the porcelain jar with an iron mallet, a piece of paper with a mouse on it fell on the table. The expressions on the faces of these gamblers were like a Ukiyo-e.
This was one of the most common gambling methods in Fragrance Alley. It was called the word flower or flower fair. The gambling stalls that set up this kind of gambling were also called word flower stalls.
Wu Yingjun wasn't a gambler, but there was nothing else in the stronghold that could be used for entertainment other than prostitution, gambling, and drugs. When he was bored, he would also come in to try his luck.
Wu Yingjun's luck today was obviously not bad. On the third hand, he bought the word flower. He bet one yuan, and it turned into ten yuan in the blink of an eye, causing the surrounding gamblers to be jealous.
"My luck is pretty good. I'll buy a rooster for another dollar.”Wu Yingjun smiled at the dealer, took out a coin from his hand and threw it on the picture of the rooster on the tablecloth.
"The bet is set. Open!" As the dealer broke the porcelain jar, the paper that floated out this time was a drawing of an ugly bull.
Wu Yingjun shook his head and put the rest of the money back into his pocket. He retreated from the crowd and stood still. He lit a cigarette and leaned against the corner. He did not intend to continue betting, but to be a spectator.
In the word flower stall, the gamblers who were killing their way to the point of blood rose and fell, and the expressions on their faces varied. Wu Yingjun felt that watching these people's crazy looks was much more interesting than watching his master and Chen Shiwu's monkey-like "competition" in the martial arts hall.
It was as if he had just witnessed a woman who had lost her money and followed another male gambler into a small room in the side of the house. The two of them walked out in less than two minutes, their clothes disheveled. The woman took a coin from the man and returned to the gambling table.
As for what the two of them did in the side hall, Wu Yingjun, a " decent person ", could easily figure it out.
"The Walled City!" Wu Yingjun sighed with a cigarette in his mouth. His face revealed a sentimental expression.
However, before he could hide the emotion on his face, a deliberately suppressed but angry voice came intermittently into his ears from the other side of the wall.
Separated by the yellow mud wall, Wu Yingjun only heard a few words from the voice next door, but his expression suddenly changed.
……
Chatham Road Station
Liu Jun was just a sergeant. Although he was already the leader of the Key Case Investigation Unit, he did not have his own office.
His desk was placed in a corner, and the other desks were a little far away from him. This simple method could be considered as creating a private space for him.
After the murder of the Chinese man at Rongmei Factory, the Key Case Investigation Unit was relatively idle. Liu Jun was often wandering around, and he was usually nowhere to be seen in the office.
However, Liu Jun was in the office today. Not only him, but Lin Zhanzhan and Lei Luo were also there. The three of them were sitting there discussing the case.
Last time, Liu Jun got a favor from Liu Fu. He used this favor to take off Lei Luo's military uniform and let him put on plain clothes and transfer him to the Key Case Investigation Unit, becoming his direct subordinate.
"Boss, why does Inspector Liu attach so much importance to this case?”
"Heh, of course it's because there are benefits. Liu Fu has already told me that if we successfully rescue He Yingqiu and Young Master He, the Key Case Investigation Unit will receive 50,000 yuan as compensation.”Liu Jun laughed and said.
"Wow, if we can get 50,000, what about Inspector Liu?”
"Then it's none of our business. Even if there's no reward, we have to solve this case as soon as possible and find Young Master He. After all, which family was simple to kidnap? Let's go to the place where He Yingqiu was kidnapped and see if we can find any clues.”
Just as Liu Jun was about to bring Lin Zhanzhan and Lei Luo out, Wu Yingjun barged in, panting.
Wu Yingjun panted heavily and said,""Liu Sheng, I have something to tell you.”
