Volume 19: Legend of Lu Xiaofeng Chapter 479: Solving the Case Violently
The moon is like a curved eyebrow, climbing up the willow branches.
In the Dasanyuan Restaurant, Lu Shaohua was wearing a constable's uniform and had a set of shackles around his waist. The shackles were made of the finest iron and could be used to handcuff prisoners and as soft weapons.
There were few people here who didn't know him and didn't recognize this outfit, so the guests in the restaurant all avoided him.
His words were always effective.
But now he seemed to be afraid to speak.
Su Weiyun had already eaten most of the whole plate of beggar's chicken, but still hadn't said how he was going to solve the case.
After he finished his chicken and drank two cups of hot tea, he slowly said, "I heard there's a gangster leader called 'Snake King' in Wuyang City? Is that true?"
Lu Shaohua's face changed and he said, "Yes. The Snake King is just as his name suggests, he is the local tyrant of Wuyang City. A powerful dragon cannot suppress a local tyrant. Although I am a government official, I rarely provoke him."
The Snake King has at least three thousand brothers under his command. Although these people's martial arts skills may not be very high, and their discipline may not be very strict, they are scattered throughout the streets and alleys of Wuyang City, secretly controlling many activities.
If you want peace in Wuyang City, the best way is not to get rid of him, but to not provoke him at all.
Su Weiyun said: "Take me to see him."
Lu Shaohua asked in surprise: "You want to go see the Snake King?"
Su Weiyun smiled and said, "Don't worry, nothing will happen. I just went to him to ask for some information. I used to be involved in gangs, so how could I not have any friendship with him?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Shaohua was half-believing and half-doubting, and hesitated for a while. Finally, under the gazes of the three people, he had no choice but to agree.
…
Lu Shaohua led the three of them through many streets and came to a very dark alley.
At the end of the alley, there is a narrow door.
Behind the narrow gate, there is another alley that is even narrower and darker. Next to the alley is a smelly ditch. There are flies flying everywhere, and the smell is extremely bad.
From the entrance of the alley, there were more than a dozen strong men guarding the door along the way. These people did not stop Lu Shaohua only because they recognized him.
After walking a few more steps, they arrived at the door of a very old grocery store. Lu Shaohua pushed open the door of the grocery store and walked up to a small building.
The night has fallen, but the lights in the small building are still on.
It was smelly and dirty here, but after walking up the small building, the scene changed all of a sudden .
The inside of the house and the outside are completely two different worlds.
The lights are glazed palace lanterns, the tea cups are carved from whole pieces of white jade, and the plates for candied fruits are crystal plates from Persia; there are calligraphy and paintings hanging on the walls, two of which are figures by Wu Daozi and one is a horse by Han Gan.
As soon as Su Weiyun walked up, she was deeply attracted by Han Gan's painting. She looked at it for a long time before she was reluctant to let it go.
"This horse is truly lifelike!"
He was looking at the horse, while the other three were looking at a person lying on a slanted couch covered with tiger skin.
Under the bright light, the man looked sickly pale and old, but he had an inviolable dignity.
Lu Shaohua said: "Snake King, this is the hero Su Weiyun who was famous in the martial arts world more than ten years ago!"
The Snake King's face was not looking good at first, but when he heard Su Weiyun's name, he managed to stand up and said, "Lion King, how are you? I'm sorry I'm sick and can't salute you!"
Su Weiyun shook his head and said, "The Snake King doesn't have to salute the Lion King. The Snake King is already doing much better!"
The Snake King asked, "Why do you say that?"
Su Weiyun said: "The officials and bandits are colluding to whitewash the situation. The snakes, rats and this bald eagle are all from the same nest. Isn't it good to be so lively?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of everyone present became indescribably strange.
Lu Shaohua said: "Although the Snake King is a gangster, he is also a thief with his own code of conduct. Even Lu Xiaofeng considers him a friend..."
Before he could finish, Su Weiyun interrupted him forcefully.
"Lu Xiaofeng hasn't come to see you yet?"
The snake king's eyes shrank, like a venomous snake waiting for an opportunity to strike, and he said slowly: "What do you mean?"
"So he really hasn't come yet..." Su Weiyun said slowly, "It seems that I am the only one who can solve this case. I can't wait for him!"
The Snake King asked, "What case?"
Su Weiyun said angrily: "Lu Shaohua has already admitted it, Snake King, don't you admit it?!"
Su Weiyun suddenly became furious, scaring everyone!
Moreover, he used extremely powerful internal energy in his voice, which made the whole room rustle, as if the building was about to collapse!
The Snake King's brothers were already downstairs preparing to rush up.
But what greeted them was the heavy body of another person.
Bang!
"I……"
Without waiting for Lu Shaohua to say anything, Su Weiyun picked him up and threw him down, knocking over several strong men before stopping in the corner.
The Snake King turned over and got off the bed, and suddenly pulled out a soft sword from his waist. Silver light diffused, like water bursting out, and instantly enveloped Su Weiyun's body!
He looks sickly, but his swordsmanship is actually quite good!
Ding!
In just a moment, the silver light disappeared.
The blade of the soft sword was firmly clamped by two fingers, like a snake being pinched by its seven inches.
The snake king cried out: "Telepathic finger?!"
He thought this was Lu Xiaofeng's famous skill "Telepathic Finger"!
Su Weiyun said, "This is not Lingxi Yizhi. It's just that your swordsmanship was slow and I caught you!"
He exerted force with two fingers, and with a "clang" sound, the snake-shaped soft sword was broken!
Su Weiyun then grasped the two broken halves of the sword, pressed down hard, and suddenly broke it into several pieces!
Despair was revealed in the eyes of the Snake King - you know, this is a soft sword. It is much more troublesome to break a very tough soft sword with bare hands than to break a hard iron sword!
People from downstairs were rushing up one after another, but they were all blocked by Duan Yu.
The small building was designed to be easy to defend but difficult to attack, so it was not easy for people downstairs to come up. Moreover, Duan Yu's skill was not low.
Su Weiyun said: "Snake King, you still don't admit it? What did Jin Jiuling tell you, and you still don't tell me!"
The snake king looked puzzled and asked, "What? What do you want me to say?"
Su Weiyun said, "Lu Shaohua has confessed. Why don't you confess? Think about it, if it weren't for Lu Shaohua, how could we have found this place?"
Beads of sweat gradually seeped out of the snake king's pale face, which looked terrifying under the bright light. He said slowly, "I want to see Jin Jiuling."
He was indeed an old fox. Although Su Weiyun knew clearly that he was part of the plan of the "Embroidery Thief" Jin Jiuling and had received orders long ago, at this time, he still insisted on not revealing any clues.
Su Weiyun said, "You can't see Jin Jiuling anymore, because I have arrested him."
The Snake King asked, "He was arrested?"
Su Weiyun said anxiously, "He is the Embroidery Thief, shouldn't he be caught? I'm not afraid to tell you that it was me who did it. Do you think I have the ability to catch him?"
The Snake King's eyes revealed hesitation and uncertainty, and he said, "How could he be the 'Embroidered Thief' as he is the number one detective of the Six Gates?"
Su Weiyun said calmly: "He wanted to find helpers to cover it up for him, but in the end he found this seven-clawed phoenix and asked her to help slander me as the Embroidery Thief. Who would have thought that she and I were good friends!"
"If you don't confess, it will be very simple. You and your brothers will all be killed in no time!"
The Snake King said: "This... I..."
With his many years of experience, he couldn't tell whether what Su Weiyun said was true or false at this moment, but he still didn't want to say anything more.
Because he knows that the more he speaks, the more mistakes he makes, and the less he speaks, the fewer mistakes he makes.
Seeing that he was still unwilling to confess, Su Weiyun did not force him. He flew over, raised his hand and cut him on the back of the neck, knocking him unconscious, and then carried him out of the house.
Lu Shaohua had already passed out from the force of that throw.
Su Weiyun stood on the small building and shouted, "The Snake King is here, retreat quickly. Otherwise, his life will be in danger!"
Upon hearing this, the strong men in the field slowly retreated and dared not act rashly.
And Su Weiyun threw the snake king back into the inner room.
He then said to the crowd, "Bring two basins of cold water and pour it on this captain to wake him up!"
The Snake King is in Su Weiyun's hands, and those people dare not disobey him.
Wow!
The cold water poured over my head chilled me to the bone.
As expected, Lu Shaohua woke up quickly. He touched the back of his head, as if he was still recalling what had happened before.
The first thing that caught his eye was Su Weiyun's expression of slight regret and great sorrow.
Su Weiyun sighed deeply and said, "Captain Lu, I'm really sorry. The Snake King and I used to be friends, but as soon as I got here, he confessed everything."
"He has already admitted in person in the small building that Jin Jiuling is the Embroidered Thief. It's useless for you to say anything! Those people outside have heard it, and they can all testify!"
