Despicable Games [lower part]
Chapter 21
When leaving the yard, Kang Wenwen still couldn't help but look at the wooden door twice, there was indeed no movement.
"Where are you going now?" Zhang Dengjin asked with a look of hopelessness.
Kang Wenwen cheered up and threw the inexplicable door aside.
"Now go to the spice shop, which is just down the street."
"Fortunately, there is only this spice shop, otherwise we would have to go a long way. I'm exhausted." Zhang Dengjin sighed, with his shoulders slung over his shoulders.
Du Qianlin thought that Kang Wenwen was a little tired, so he approached and patted Kang Wenwen's shoulder, "It's okay, or go back and rest first."
Kang Wenwen shook his head and said, "No need, there are clues, how can I let them go. I have been resting for many days."
The investigation in the spice shop went very smoothly, the spice of that taste is the signboard of that shop.
"Our family is a hundred-year-old store, and the business was good before. This 'Liuli Gallery' is the best seller, but now that the recession is bad, few people will buy it." The proprietress said with a sad face.
But Kang Wenwen and the three were relieved. It would be difficult to check if many people really bought it.
"Who have bought this incense in the past six months?" Du Qianlin asked.
The proprietress covered her mouth and said, "Why is Catcher Lu asking this? This is the privacy of the guests."
Du Qianlin put down the incense in his hand, "This incense is related to the ogres that have been raging in the city during this period."
"Ogre? But that's not He..." The proprietress looked at Kang Wen and hesitated to speak.
"You just need to tell me who bought the incense." Du Qianlin's eyes were slightly cold.
The proprietress was still a little hesitant, "This..."
"Although you can't hurt them, you never said you can't grab them hard." Kang Wenwen stood aside and said softly.
The proprietress' expression changed drastically, "Boot Lu, Brother Zhang, don't be joking, our normal business has not violated the law, you are so out of line."
Du Qianlin saw that the proprietress was still not interested, so she walked towards the counter in the shop with a straight face.
"Ah! No, no, no! Xiao Er, stop him!" The proprietress panicked, and shouted at the shop assistant in a shrill voice.
"Chong-"
Du Qianlin pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at the guy.
The little guy had seen such a battle, and he didn't dare to let Du Qianlin turn over the account book.
"Hey! The arrest is about to kill someone!" But the proprietress sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Kang Wenwen looked at this woman and suddenly felt very familiar.
Zhang Dengjin looked at Kang Wenwen and turned his head to look at himself, feeling a little irritable even though he was as thick-skinned as he was.
Walking up to the woman, he squatted down and asked with a smile, "You woman, it's just a routine inspection, and you won't let her see you alive. You must have ghosts if you're still rolling around, tied up and escorted back to the yamen!"
Zhang Dengjin's sound not only frightened the proprietress, but also frightened the people watching the theater.
Zhang Dengjin looked at Kang Wenwen without moving for a long time, then gave him a wink: Come here and kidnap someone!
I'm yelling here, give me a step up, it's so embarrassing!
Kang Wenwen walked towards Zhang Dengjin helplessly, raised his hand and threw a bundle of ropes at him.
Eyes indicate: You tie it yourself.
"What are you two doing?" Du Qianlin came out holding a dark blue account book.
Kang Wenwen and Zhang Dengjin didn't explain, and Du Qianlin didn't want to ask any more.He just squatted down and weighed the account book in his hand.
"You want to cover him? Are you also an accomplice?"
Glancing at the rope in Zhang Dengjin's hand, Du Qianlin got up and said, "Just take her back."
Seeing Zhang Dengjin walking towards her, the proprietress really panicked, "Catcher Lu, fast catcher Lu! I really don't know anything, but I can't afford to mess with that person, I don't know anything!"
Kang Wenwen looked at more and more onlookers around, curled his lips and said, "Shout louder, it's better for that person to hear."
I didn't even think about really tying it up, but now I can only take it away.
Zhang Dengjin was in charge of taking the person back to the Yamen for interrogation, and Kang Wenwen and Du Qianlin went to the buyer's home together.
But the proprietress emptied everything on the way, and Zhang Dengjin was picked up by Du Qianlin again.
"Tsk, that old lady, if it wasn't for her loud voice, we wouldn't have come here in such a hurry." Du Qianlin cursed in a low voice.
Kang Wenwen found it funny, "It's the first time I've heard you swear like that."
Because Zhang Dengjin was forced to follow by Du Qianlin, he was so angry that he immediately exposed his boss, "Lin Zai is just pretending. He wears glasses and pretends to be gentle, but he is actually a pious man!"
Du Qianlin smiled politely at Kang Wenwen, strangled Zhang Dengjin's neck, went into the alley and had a violent meal.
"I didn't expect to come twice in one day." Kang Wenwen followed Du Qianlin to the foot of the wall, jokingly said, "If the county magistrate knows, he will be so angry that his beard will fall off."
That's right, the one who bought the 'Liuli Gallery' spices was the county magistrate.According to the proprietress, the wife of the county magistrate likes to use this spice, so she will send it regularly, even if the business is bleak now.
Zhang Dengjin put his face on his shoulders and asked, "Does this Gao Xianren have anything to do with the county magistrate's wife?"
Du Qianlin was looking at the wall of the county magistrate's house, and when he heard this, he scolded, "Do you think about these things every day?"
"What did I say to me, I'm so wronged." Zhang Dengjin pouted.
Kang Wenwen watched Du Qianlin's movements, stepped forward and asked, "Are you planning to go in?"
This wall is not the low wall of Zhang Zhengde's house, how can it be overturned if it is so high?
Du Qianlin smiled mysteriously, raised his hand and took out something.
"It's enough to have this, we just need to know which position is empty."
"Grabbing hooks and ropes for climbing walls?" Zhang Dengjin stared at the things in Du Qianlin's hands.
"Is this thing for sale?"
Du Qianlin patted Zhang Dengjin's paw that he wanted to reach out and touch, "I did it myself."
Zhang Dengjin rubbed the back of his hand, curled his lips and said to Kang Wenwen, "Wenwen, you have to be careful, this kid will knock over the window of your house someday."
Kang Wenwen ignored him.
But Zhang Dengjin said again, "Oh, I forgot that you are in his guest room, so you have to be careful when he pries the door."
"........."
The atmosphere suddenly became freezing cold.
Zhang Dengjin also realized that he had said something wrong, so he hurried to make up for it.
"Ah...well, um, what...wenwen."
"Huh?" Kang Wen sniffed softly.
Zhang Dengjin scratched his head and scratched his head, "Well... didn't you say that you went to the county magistrate's house this morning to do anything other than talk? What were you planning to do at that time?"
Kang Wenwen didn't know if he was thinking or didn't want to answer, so he was silent for a while.
Just when Zhang Dengjin was about to change the topic to find a new level for himself, Kang Wenwen spoke again.
"I plan to tie up the county magistrate if he doesn't say anything, beat him up, and see if he keeps talking."
Zhang Dengjin looked shocked, "Is this okay?"
"Of course not." Kang Wenwen replied.
"..."
The landing was fairly accurate, and it was a place where no one was there.
only....
"Lin Tsai, can't you find a place with a better environment?" Zhang Dengjin covered his mouth and nose in disgust.
"How do I know, only there is no sound here." Du Qianlin's face was also a little ugly at this time.
Kang Wenwen interrupted their bickering, "Let's go out first."
Zhang Dengjin nodded quickly, "This ancient hut is too bad, it smells so bad even through the walls."
Carefully avoiding the servants, and taking many detours, he finally found the magistrate's wife's room window.
"Oh, I'm exhausted." Zhang Dengjin wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead.
Kang Wenwen turned his head and listened to the movement of the lady in the house, "Didn't the proprietress say that the county magistrate's wife is sick in bed, why is there no sound at all inside?"
"I'm sick in bed, can there be any noise, can I play disco on the bed?" Zhang Dengjin asked.
Kang Wenwen rolled his eyes helplessly.
"It means that there are no people to take care of and protect." Du Qianlin was also a little embarrassed, and brought out such a fool.
"Oh oh oh." Zhang Dengjin said awkwardly.
"Is it because the county magistrate is poor and can't afford to hire people?" Zhang Dengjin asked in a low voice.
Kang Wenwen looked at Du Qianlin, Zhang Dengjin's words were possible.But the county magistrate did not build temples and embezzled money, and did not use it for himself and his wife. Where did it go?Or is he really not greedy for money?
"Ma'am, it's time to drink the medicine." A clear and youthful voice sounded in the room.
The three people under the window quickly put their ears to the wall and listened carefully.
"Ahem, now the more you drink the medicine, the more useless it becomes." A weaker voice should be the magistrate's wife.
"Ma'am, don't worry, Gao Xianren didn't say that he would find a way for Madam." It was still that maid.
The madam snorted coldly, "If he really has a way, his junior brother will still do this?"
There was no more sound in the house, I don't know how long it took.Outside the window, Zhang Dengjin's feet were numb, only to hear his wife finally speak inside.
"Okay, you go down."
"Yes."
After finishing speaking, Du Qianlin carefully moved to the grass beside him, and saw the maid who was talking.
He waved to Kang Wenwen, then raised his hand to Zhang Dengjin and pressed down, pointing to the window.
"Stay here and listen to the lady's movements. He and I will follow up and have a look." Kang Wenwen said softly to Zhang Dengjin.
Zhang Dengjin thought to himself that he would be safe here, so he nodded happily.
Du Qianlin and Kang Wenwen didn't dare to get too close to the maid, but fortunately, the maid didn't go very far, and there was a small side room away from the master bedroom in the county magistrate's wife's own small courtyard.There is a square chimney on the roof, which should be a small kitchen.
The two cats in the grass for a while, and the maid left.
Looking at each other, Kang Wenwen and Du Qianlin walked into the small kitchen cautiously.
There is nothing else in the kitchen, only a small stove with a clay pot for decocting medicine on it.
"This should be the medicine the county magistrate's wife took." Du Qianlin opened the clay pot as he spoke.
A strong bloody smell rushed out from the pot.
"Well, this is..." Even Kang Wenwen could smell it clearly this time.The taste is so strong that Kang Wenwen couldn't help but feel his stomach churn mixed with the smell of medicine.
Du Qianlin had a better nose and was closer, so he almost didn't spit it out.
Kang Wenwen tilted his head and took a sharp breath, picked up the spoon and stirred in the pot while holding his breath.
The concoction is scarlet, but there are only some herbs in it and nothing else weird.
"What is this?" Du Qianlin asked looking at the solidified thing in the spoon.
Kang Wenwen replied, "Xuewang, you should eat it often."
He usually can't even eat meat, let alone blood.
Of course Du Qianlin knew, but with so much blood, and thinking of the corpse during this period, he really didn't dare to think about it.
"Who is it!" The voice of the maid who left came from outside the house.
Du Qianlin put down the lid and cast a glance at Kang Wenwen, and the two of them walked lightly and quickly to both sides of the door.Kang Wenwen picked up the firewood at his feet and raised it above his head.
In the next second, the figure of the maid was about to enter the room.
Kang Wenwen punched the maid on the head violently, still apologizing in her heart.
Du Qianlin did not expect what happened next.
The maid sharply raised her hand to block the firewood from the sneak attack, and kicked Kang Wenwen out with her left foot at the same time.
Although Du Qianlin was a little dumbfounded, he immediately punched the maidservant's abdomen.
But the servant girl fell back and stepped off the bridge to avoid the punch.
While leaning back, Du Qianlin kicked her left calf with his right foot.The servant girl sensed Du Qianlin's intention and raised her left foot to strike between Du Qianlin's legs.
Du Qianlin couldn't dodge, so he changed his kick with his right foot and lowered his knee to support her calf. He turned around to push her calf to the ground with his knee.
If she hit the ground straight down, her leg would break all the time.
Seeing this, the servant girl exerted strength on her back, and with only her arms and palms as support, she raised her right foot and kicked Du Qianlin's head in the air.
Du Qianlin raised his hand to block the blow, but let the maid stand up.
At this time, Kang Wenwen had also got up, found a hat made of bamboo strips from somewhere, shouted at the maid, and threw it in her face.
The servant girl cursed secretly in her heart, she waved away the bamboo hat with one hand, and grabbed Du Qianlin with the other.
Taking advantage of her blurred vision, Du Qianlin kicked the servant girl on the arm and knocked her to the ground.Pull up Kang Wenwen and run out.
"Come here! Someone broke into the county magistrate's mansion!!" The servant girl's voice came from behind.
Du Qianlin pulled Kang Wenwen and hid in the grass, twisting and turning to avoid those servants, and took Kang Wenwen to turn out from the hut where he came down before.
Pulling Kang Wenwen into the alley, hiding in the haystack, and finally got rid of the group of people.
When Du Qianlin sighed and looked back, Kang Wenwen's face was already pale, his left hand was covering his right shoulder, and his brows were furrowed.
"Wen Wen! Let me see."
"It's just not trivial, a little pain is not a problem." Kang Wenwen couldn't help it, so he tilted his head to let him see.
It wasn't really cracked or anything, just a little bleeding.It seems that those medicines are still very effective.
"I don't know how this ogre managed to put a pair of fangs in its mouth and bite so deeply," Du Qianlin said.
Kang Wenwen also nodded and said, "Looking at those corpses before, I thought they were just poked with two awls to scare people, but I didn't expect they were actually bitten."
Du Qianlin calmly opened the inventory, and said with surprise on his face, "It's over, the light bulb is still under the magistrate's wife's window."
"Then what should we do?" Kang Wenwen also found out, and his expression changed immediately, "Should we..."
Du Qianlin covered Kang Wenwen's mouth to prevent him from spitting out the medicine, and said with a smile, "It's okay, his boy will not die."
Kang Wenwen glared at him, but swallowed the medicine and waved Du Qianlin's hand away, "But if he is caught, there is no guarantee that he will not die."
"No, don't worry. You can see that he is pretending to be stupid, but he is actually smart. He can escape."
After Du Qianlin said that, Kang Wenwen couldn't say anything more.
"It's just that I didn't expect that a maid beside the county magistrate's wife would have such a good skill." Du Qianlin sighed.
Kang Wenwen was also shocked, saying that the place where he was kicked on his waist is still aching.
"Do you think this maid may be one of the suspects?"
"I don't know." Du Qianlin said, "She is very skilled, but she is different from the person that night, but maybe she changed it on purpose. Their height and figure are somewhat similar."
"There is also that senior brother Gao. Although he has dark skin, it may be due to makeup. It is very easy to change the color of the skin." Kang Wenwen said.
"Gao Xianren, according to what the servant girl and the magistrate's wife said just now, the spices on his sleeves should have been stained when he was seeing a doctor for the magistrate's wife." Du Qianlin said.
Thinking of the upholstery in Gao Xianren's room, the fragrance inside his cuffs should have been contaminated when he felt the pulse of the county magistrate's wife.
Kang Wenwen said, "Well, but the county magistrate's wife's illness seems a bit unusual. She mentioned Gao Xianren's younger brother, do they all have the same illness?"
"In that medicine jar..." Du Qianlin looked at Kang Wenwen, "What do you think?"
"It should be human blood. The smell is so strong and the color is so dark, it should be human blood." Kang Wenwen couldn't help frowning.
Kang Wenwen sighed, "The previous corpses all had signs of excessive blood loss, and they are considered half-mummy. Presumably, the blood has become medicine."
"Where are you going now?" Zhang Dengjin asked with a look of hopelessness.
Kang Wenwen cheered up and threw the inexplicable door aside.
"Now go to the spice shop, which is just down the street."
"Fortunately, there is only this spice shop, otherwise we would have to go a long way. I'm exhausted." Zhang Dengjin sighed, with his shoulders slung over his shoulders.
Du Qianlin thought that Kang Wenwen was a little tired, so he approached and patted Kang Wenwen's shoulder, "It's okay, or go back and rest first."
Kang Wenwen shook his head and said, "No need, there are clues, how can I let them go. I have been resting for many days."
The investigation in the spice shop went very smoothly, the spice of that taste is the signboard of that shop.
"Our family is a hundred-year-old store, and the business was good before. This 'Liuli Gallery' is the best seller, but now that the recession is bad, few people will buy it." The proprietress said with a sad face.
But Kang Wenwen and the three were relieved. It would be difficult to check if many people really bought it.
"Who have bought this incense in the past six months?" Du Qianlin asked.
The proprietress covered her mouth and said, "Why is Catcher Lu asking this? This is the privacy of the guests."
Du Qianlin put down the incense in his hand, "This incense is related to the ogres that have been raging in the city during this period."
"Ogre? But that's not He..." The proprietress looked at Kang Wen and hesitated to speak.
"You just need to tell me who bought the incense." Du Qianlin's eyes were slightly cold.
The proprietress was still a little hesitant, "This..."
"Although you can't hurt them, you never said you can't grab them hard." Kang Wenwen stood aside and said softly.
The proprietress' expression changed drastically, "Boot Lu, Brother Zhang, don't be joking, our normal business has not violated the law, you are so out of line."
Du Qianlin saw that the proprietress was still not interested, so she walked towards the counter in the shop with a straight face.
"Ah! No, no, no! Xiao Er, stop him!" The proprietress panicked, and shouted at the shop assistant in a shrill voice.
"Chong-"
Du Qianlin pulled out the knife from his waist and pointed it at the guy.
The little guy had seen such a battle, and he didn't dare to let Du Qianlin turn over the account book.
"Hey! The arrest is about to kill someone!" But the proprietress sat down on the ground and cried loudly.
Kang Wenwen looked at this woman and suddenly felt very familiar.
Zhang Dengjin looked at Kang Wenwen and turned his head to look at himself, feeling a little irritable even though he was as thick-skinned as he was.
Walking up to the woman, he squatted down and asked with a smile, "You woman, it's just a routine inspection, and you won't let her see you alive. You must have ghosts if you're still rolling around, tied up and escorted back to the yamen!"
Zhang Dengjin's sound not only frightened the proprietress, but also frightened the people watching the theater.
Zhang Dengjin looked at Kang Wenwen without moving for a long time, then gave him a wink: Come here and kidnap someone!
I'm yelling here, give me a step up, it's so embarrassing!
Kang Wenwen walked towards Zhang Dengjin helplessly, raised his hand and threw a bundle of ropes at him.
Eyes indicate: You tie it yourself.

The concoction is scarlet, but there are only some herbs in it and nothing else weird.

Kang Wenwen replied, "Xuewang, you should eat it often."
He usually can't even eat meat, let alone blood.

Kang Wenwen glared at him, but swallowed the medicine and waved Du Qianlin's hand away, "But if he is caught, there is no guarantee that he will not die."
"No, don't worry. You can see that he is pretending to be stupid, but he is actually smart. He can escape."
After Du Qianlin said that, Kang Wenwen couldn't say anything more.
"It's just that I didn't expect that a maid beside the county magistrate's wife would have such a good skill." Du Qianlin sighed.
Kang Wenwen was also shocked, saying that the place where he was kicked on his waist is still aching.
"Do you think this maid may be one of the suspects?"
"I don't know." Du Qianlin said, "She is very skilled, but she is different from the person that night, but maybe she changed it on purpose. Their height and figure are somewhat similar."
"There is also that senior brother Gao. Although he has dark skin, it may be due to makeup. It is very easy to change the color of the skin." Kang Wenwen said.
"Gao Xianren, according to what the servant girl and the magistrate's wife said just now, the spices on his sleeves should have been stained when he was seeing a doctor for the magistrate's wife." Du Qianlin said.
Thinking of the upholstery in Gao Xianren's room, the fragrance inside his cuffs should have been contaminated when he felt the pulse of the county magistrate's wife.
Kang Wenwen said, "Well, but the county magistrate's wife's illness seems a bit unusual. She mentioned Gao Xianren's younger brother, do they all have the same illness?"
"In that medicine jar..." Du Qianlin looked at Kang Wenwen, "What do you think?"
"It should be human blood. The smell is so strong and the color is so dark, it should be human blood." Kang Wenwen couldn't help frowning.
Kang Wenwen sighed, "The previous corpses all had signs of excessive blood loss, and they are considered half-mummy. Presumably, the blood has become medicine."
