Chapter 17 Chapter 16 Exclusive trick

Sichuan is known as the Land of Abundance, and the Chengdu Plain is the so-called thousand-mile fertile field. Since ancient times, people have carried out large-scale development of it, especially the Dujiangyan of Li Bing and his son. It is a product of nature, so it has no side effects. Under such circumstances, for more than two thousand years, countless Sichuan people have been raised. Sichuan is also famous for its aggressive folk customs. The so-called "the world is in chaos before Shu is in chaos, and the world has been ruled before Shu is ruled."At the end of the Ming Dynasty, Zhang Xianzhong established the Dashun regime here and massacred Sichuanese.At the beginning of the Qing Dynasty, the villages and towns here were ruined and deserted, and the tigers in Chengdu were infested, just like the Stone Age.The Qing government implemented the policy of relocating Huguang to fill Sichuan. The home of our first generation of revolutionaries, Commander-in-Chief Zhu De, was relocated from Guangdong.Because of the fertile land here, the population has multiplied for hundreds of years. In the 1980s, Sichuan was the largest province in China with a population of over 100 million (Chongqing has not yet become an independent municipality).In addition, I don't know whether it is because of the good soil and water here, or the advantages of immigration and marriage. There are so many beautiful women in Sichuan, so there is a saying that "if you are young, you will not enter Sichuan".

Two policemen from the same affluent area lived in the hostel of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau.Needless to say, it was Gu Luo and Hu Liang. Sichuan people are smart and energetic. Of course, these characteristics are necessary for public security work, but the influence of regional culture is undeniable, which has a non-negligible impact on the conduct and completion of various occupations.The Chengdu Public Security Bureau found several well-known martial artists in a short period of time. A criminal policeman surnamed Chen who worked with Gu Luo and Hu Liang from the criminal police team of the Chengdu Public Security Bureau took them to visit these martial artists.

These major martial arts schools in China are the most distinctive when spreading their own martial arts.Shaolin is the most unconservative, with disciples all over the world; Wudang is the least fond of rumors, so that it is on the verge of extinction like giant pandas. At the time when this case happened, almost no one practiced Wudang boxing; Seriously, very little interaction with each other.Therefore, the martial arts masters they found only knew about their own sect. "I don't know this person." They all said that while looking at the photo Gu Luo was holding. Gu Luo had no choice but to look for the place where Ai Zuxing once lived, but there were so many changes and no one remembered him.But he didn't have a proper job in Chengdu at that time, so he couldn't find his unit.

Two days passed with nothing.Gu Luo asked the criminal police team to expand the search area and ask those martial artists to see if there are any descendants of the Crane Fist nearby.As soon as he mentioned the successor of the Crane Fist, those martial artists immediately nodded in a serious manner and named the same person. "His surname is Tang, and he is the descendant of the Emei School of Crane Boxing. He is very powerful. However, he does not live in Chengdu, but in Pixian County." Xiao Chen said. "Well. When will you leave?" Hu Liang asked. "Now." Guluo replied.

Pixian County is a county under Chengdu City, and is famous throughout the country for producing bean paste.The car of the Public Security Bureau that Gu Luo took left Chengdu, and Gu Luo realized that Sichuan is indeed an extraordinary place.The mountains and clear waters here are beautiful, but it is not the green and pleasant like the small bridges and flowing water in the south of the Yangtze River. The rivers and mountains here are majestic, and the green is overwhelming, as if pouring down from the sky. It is not only amazing, but also beautiful. "Good!" Gu Luo couldn't help admiring.

"What?" Xiao Chen asked. "I said it's beautiful here! Only now do I understand what Zhang Daqian's so-called splash-ink painting is all about. It's not his own creation out of thin air, but the inspiration given to him by this school of mountains and rivers." Gu Luo said to Hu Liang. "Yes, you are right." Xiao Chen agreed. The place where this martial artist lives is also in line with the majestic scenery of Sichuan. He lives in a large courtyard in Pixian County. Although there are several families there, he lives in the main house.The large tile-roofed house and the ground in the courtyard paved with blue bricks prove the existence of an ancient family, and also show an aspect of the social structure of old China: poor learners, rich learners.The Tang family used to be a big family.

Tang Jiaju's appearance is also in line with the appearance of the son of a wealthy family. He must have been handsome when he was young, but now he has a childlike face and black hair, which makes people feel a sense of respect.This is the charm of a person's temperament, appearance and demeanor. "Do you know this person?" Gu Luo took out the photo.Tang Jiakui is over eighty years old, but he is neither blind nor deaf. He took a sip of the hookah and said, "He is my apprentice." Gu Luo couldn't help but be overjoyed. "Can you tell me how you accepted him as an apprentice?"

"There is nothing to say. He is from the north, it seems to be from the Northeast. He has kung fu, he is an internal boxer. Come to me to learn crane boxing." "He knows Neijiaquan? What kind of boxing? Xingyi, Taiji, or gossip?" Hu Liang's eyes lit up. "I don't know about that. Anyway, he brought Yi to learn martial arts." "How much did he spend?" Gu Luo immediately knew the reason.Tang Jiaju thought for a while and said: "The money at that time was valuable. He gave me 20 yuan a month. Can I not teach?" "Flying from the air, jumping behind the opponent, and hitting the back of the chest with the crane fist technique, what kind of move is it?" Hu Liang made gestures while talking, of course, this was his imagination.

Tang Jiaju's expression changed suddenly, and he said, "He knows this trick?" "Yes." Hu Liang was still guessing. "Good guy! It's hidden! How could he steal this move?" Tang Jiaju looked puzzled, "This move is the ultimate move in our Crane Fist School, known as Crane Killing Nine Heavens, The so-called "seventy-two magical illusions, seventy-three deadly", the seventy-third move is this move, but it is almost lost, only a few people know this move. Cranes are not birds of prey, but they can also be extremely vicious , that is when resisting the attacks of other raptors. This trick is learned by the crane at this time. Concentrate the whole body's skill in the fist, and slam it once, which can cause serious injury or death. Your posture is wrong, let me practice it for you. "The old man walked to the middle of the courtyard and punched a crane fist.Sure enough, this kind of fist has a chic posture, but it is extremely fast. The palm is vigorous and vigorous, and the footwork is wide open and closed, especially when walking.Suddenly the old man jumped up and his body twirled in the air, but he was old after all, before he finished his movements, he landed and staggered a few steps.Hu Liang reacted quickly, and stepped forward to support the old man.

"I'm old, I'm old, I'm really old. You understand, just like this. This is a unique skill of my own. I'm telling you because you are members of the public government. Don't spread it outside, remember it." "Such a difficult movement is rumored to the outside world, how many people can learn it?" Hu Liang said with a smile.Tang Jiaju also laughed. "How much do you know about this person? For example, why did he travel thousands of miles to Sichuan? What does his family do?" Gu Luo asked. "I don't know. This man is not good at talking and has a withdrawn personality, but he is a good material for learning martial arts. He was very young at the time, and I wanted him to succeed me, but he has his own skills. Every time he comes to my place, besides practicing martial arts, Say nothing."

"Who introduced it to you?" Gu Luo still couldn't be reconciled. "My opening of the library to teach apprentices is allowed by the government, that is, it is open to the public. I don't need other people's introduction, as long as I pay the tuition fee." "How long has he been studying here?" "Less than a year. I remember that Sichuan was just liberated, that is, around 1950, and left at the end of 1950." "Where did you go? Did you contact me later?" "I don't know. The old man generally doesn't ask about young people, and he hasn't come back. Dare I ask, where is he now? Is he still alive?" "In Jiangcheng in the northeast, I live very well." Gu Luo said seriously.Hu Liang smiled. Sichuan's hot pot is well-deserved, so hot that the two policemen from the Northeast kept drinking beer.At that time, Chengdu was the same as most places in the country. Beer had just gained people's favor, but not many people actually drank it, not to mention that Sichuan was a place that produced good wine. "I know your thoughts now, are you suspicious of Ai Zuxing?" Hu Liang said angrily. "There is no conclusion yet. I think this is a clue." "what are you thinking?" "It's nothing. It's just that I don't believe that the perpetrator is just Wu Fuhu." "It's just Wu Fuhu? You mean Wu Fuhu also participated in the crime?" "It's possible." Gu Luo frowned and ate a piece of goose intestine.He really can't compliment the Sichuan hot pot, because he thinks the spiciness overwhelms all the flavors. "However, as you said, we have no evidence of Ai Zuxing's crime. Yes, it can be said that there is not at all." "You're right! We'll look for evidence next, and..." Gu Luo didn't see Hu Liang's eager gaze, but fell into self-contemplation. "What else?" Hu Liang waited impatiently. "And a motive." "Motive? You mean..." A light flashed in Hu Liang's mind, and he only now understood Gu Luo's thoughts. "Yes." Gu Luo nodded.In fact, he didn't know how much Hu Liang understood, but just like last time, he committed the old problem again, which later made his partner Hu Liang a lot of headaches and anger.That is - to sell off. No matter how guluo sells it, there must be conclusive evidence.Gu Luo kept thinking about this question on the way back to Jiangcheng by train.He didn't believe that there was such a seamless method of committing crimes in the world. "People are flawed animals. Nothing is perfect in everything they do, especially when committing crimes. It's not that there are no clues, flaws and loopholes. It's just that your eyes are not bright enough, your brain is not strong enough, and you didn't find it." He used to He often told Li Guoxiong who once solved the case with him, but Li Guoxiong never learned the true meaning of Gu Luo's case solving. It was raining, and the climate was cool, but it was not comfortable. There was a bit of chill in the coolness, and a heavy, unpleasant smell condensed in the air, which made Gu Luo feel that the stuffy weather in Sichuan was better.As he walked hurriedly, he blamed himself for not being careful when examining the evidence.If he had checked carefully then, there would be nothing left now, and he regretted it. "It's better to have something, even if I'm not careful in my investigation, it doesn't matter." Gu Luo thought as he stepped into the gate.A day full of intellectual exploration and opening the curtain of the mysterious world began again, which made Guluo forget everything with excitement. He brought all the belongings left by Wu Fuhu and put them on the table, while he sat by the table, lit a cigarette, and drank strong tea. He looked very leisurely and serious, as if he was admiring some handicraft.These items were coats, trousers, shirts, underpants, a wallet, a bunch of keys, some change, a packet of biscuits, like those eaten on a train, some candy, and the ticket, which was the The ticket caught the murderer Shangguan Jie.Gu Luo looked at it, thought for a while, and picked up the ticket.This ticket was wet from the rain, the face of the ticket was blurred, and the bottom of the cardboard case was somewhat peeled off.Gu Luo looked at the ticket carefully. The ticket was the same as the one he saw last time. He could clearly see the name and time of the departure station and arrival station, etc. It was a very ordinary train ticket anyway. "I've seen it all, and it seems to be nothing." Hu Liang said beside him.He also made a cup of tea, pretended to follow Gu Luo, and thought as seriously as he understood Gu Luo. At this moment, Gu Luo suddenly saw a faint red mark on the face of the ticket. It was so faint, no wonder he didn't see it last time.No, that's not the case. Human vision sometimes follows people's thoughts. That is to say, only when you think about what is there can you find abnormalities.If Gu Luo hadn't thought that there might be evidence in it, then such a mark might have been mixed with the also light red face. "Look here." Gu Luo said to Hu Liang.Hu Liang took a closer look and said, "There seems to be a seal, and it's red." "Yes. What could it be?" said Gulot to himself.Hu Liang didn't speak, he was also thinking. "Ask Zhongyuan Station." Gu Luo said. After telephone transfers in the 1980s, I finally got in touch with the ticket office of Zhongyuan Railway Station.The other party spoke the local dialect and was the station master. "There is a red stamp on the ticket. Apart from ticket checking, do you have any other procedures for entering the station?" "No." The station master said firmly. "Where did the seal like stamp come from?" The other party thought for a while, and said firmly, "I don't know. It's not from our place." "Is anyone on train 1189 with you today?" Guluo thought of something that might be covered on the train. "They are with you now," said the station master. "Okay, thank you." Gu Luo put down the phone, so frustrated that even Hu Liang could see it. Gu Luo calmed down for a while and said, "Go! Go to the station and find that train." When the two policemen came back, it was already late, and the rain did not seem to stop, but it was getting heavier and heavier, soaking their clothes.As soon as Gu Luo entered the room, he sneezed a few times, and Hu Liang turned on the light.At this time, even a person with a very low IQ will see them and know that they have gained nothing.Indeed, they found the captain and conductors of train No. 1189. Of course, they still remembered the old and the young. After listening to their questions with a smile, it was like a gust of wind blowing through the wheat field, and the ears of wheat were shaking. "What should we do?" Hu Liang asked. "What should I do? What should I do? Are you going to say this?" Gu Luo angrily reprimanded Hu Liang. Although he knew he shouldn't do this to his new comrades or partners, he just couldn't bear it.Hu Liang was wronged, but he was a good-tempered person, especially for those who were older than him.He just smiled and didn't speak. "Go, go home!" Gu Luo wanted to yell, but the sound was so small that Hu Liang could hardly hear him.Just then, the phone rang.Gu Luo signaled Hu Liang to pick him up.Ten seconds after Hu Liang picked up the phone, he knew that things had changed completely.He called "Gulo" and handed the phone to the angry old fellow, watching his face carefully.Sure enough, a smile appeared on that fat black face. "Oh, good. We'll go to your place tomorrow." Gu Luo put down the phone, smiled and said to Hu Liang, "We have to go back to the Central Plains." On the third day, the station master of Zhongyuan Station had given Gu Luo and Hu Liang all the information and address he knew.It turned out that the station master was very responsible. He first denied Gu Luo's question that day, but after a few minutes he felt something was wrong, so he asked the conductor at the ticket office.The conductor told him that some tickets had a red mark on them, which was stamped with the word "sold", and they were tickets for some hotels or consignment points.The station master called Gu Luo, so today, Gu Luo, Hu Liang, and a criminal police officer from the Central Plains City Bureau visited the hotel and ticket office that sold the tickets. The large network of this investigation is not large, because there were not many hotels that sold tickets or sold tickets on a consignment basis.So, at the third hotel, the ticket consignment clerk recognized the person in the photo that Gulo showed him at a glance. "It's him. He bought the ticket." The waiter was sure. "Which room does he live in?" Guluo asked. "I don't know that." "Can people who are not from this hotel buy tickets from you?" "This... can't be. How can people who don't live here know that tickets are sold here?" Look!Please recall how simple and even dull people were at that time, "By the way, you can ask the people at the service desk." "understood." As Gu Luo expected, this person did not live here. "It really leaves no trace." Gu Luo said to Hu Liang with a smile.He knew that the fox's tail was not only showing, but he was only one step away from catching it.But this step is the most critical, because the current evidence alone cannot bring him to justice. Even if this step is successful, it cannot be said to be fully sure. "Do you know where we should go?" Gu Luo said half-jokingly to Hu Liang. "This..." Hu Liang frowned.He really doesn't know, but he knows one thing, and he can't arrest people yet. "Let's go." Gu Luo took the lead and walked out of this small hotel. It is still so quiet, so comfortable, so elegant, and there is nothing more comfortable than living in such a compound, even though the scorching sun outside makes Gu Luo sweaty and panting.But as soon as I entered the big yard, I felt the cool breeze, and the cicada's cry became much softer. A beautiful woodpecker was pecking at the trunk of the big tree, making a dull but pleasant sound.But all of this is not as reassuring as the calm demeanor of this octogenarian. "I knew you were going to turn back." The old man counted his rosary and said. "Then you should have told us earlier." Gu Luo was not polite. "But... who knows that one thing more is worse than one thing less! What's more, time has passed, people have been dead for so many years, and old problems can't be reversed." "No, there is a reason for everything, that is, there will be results only when there is a beginning. Now that we have seen the results, we have to find the reasons for it." Guluo said. "Okay. I'll tell you." The old man's expression was still so peaceful, but the story Gu Luo and Hu Liang heard shocked them so much. Of course, Gu Luo's reaction was weaker. There is one last thing, and Gu Luo gradually calmed down.Of course Hu Liang didn't know what Gu Luo was going to do, but he didn't dare to ask.But Gu Luo smiled and said to the young man, "Let's go, let's go to the Pegasus Cabaret. Isn't that where Ai Xixi saw Ni Yayun last?" "You mean, there will be evidence there?" Hu Liang asked. "No, I don't think so, but we can't rely on guesswork. Let's look it up." Pegasus Cabaret is a well-known dance hall in the city center.At that time, people with some money came here to spend, and this place was the leader of the city's nightlife.The owner of the karaoke hall was dressed in fashionable clothes, and he exuded a fragrance. Of course, it was much tackier than the current fragrance, but it was non-toxic. "I'll find you the person on duty that day." He said with a friendly smile. "You don't know this girl?" asked Gulot. "I know, I know, but I haven't spoken to her. She comes here often, and many people chase after her, and some people spend money to hire her. This is how this society is. A good-looking woman is an advantage." He seems to be still studying philosophy. After a while, several waitresses came. They were heavily made up, but they lacked the advantage that the boss said.But Gu Luo soon knew that the boss had good vision, because these waiters all had good memory, and this kind of talent was needed to do this job.They all remembered that Ni Yayun came that night, alone, and then left. "What time did you leave?" "It's ten o'clock. It's late." "What's her expression like? Happy or worried? Didn't she say anything to you?" Gu Luo asked. "I'm very happy. He also said that men are not good things. When she has money in the future, she will come by herself, every day." A girl said. "Oh. You didn't ask how she got rich?" "I didn't ask that question. I just said it's hard to get rich! She said it's not hard, as long as you seize the opportunity." "Did you ask her what her chance was?" "No. We were very busy that day, and after a few words, I went to entertain other guests." "Has a lad ever come to see her?" "No." Almost in unison. "What about the others? Whether male or female, no one has come to her?" "No. We weren't watching anyway." They all shook their heads. Hu Liang thought, Gu Luo's prophecy has been confirmed, and there is nothing to gain.But Gu Luo was very happy. He said to Hu Liang: "Unexpectedly, my conjecture was confirmed here." Hu Liang was even more puzzled. Ji Minjia is going to leave at last, how happy it is!A professor at a Japanese university sent her a postgraduate admission letter.These graduate students are different from domestic graduate students. In fact, they are lecture students. Graduate students have to take exams. At that time, many people went to Japan in this way.An overseas Chinese agreed to be her guarantor, which can be said to be the most important, even more important than the Japanese professor's admission letter, because few people would act as financial guarantors for Chinese people at that time. "Great!" Ji Minjia cried out in his heart. She was in such a good mood that she hadn't even reacted to the return of the most displeased person she'd ever received or had contact with in her life, a reaction that made her depressed, of course. "Okay." She said with a smile.Such a charming smile let everyone in the room see her true beauty, but her face changed immediately. "I have nothing to do with them." "But the Public Security Bureau asked you to go, saying that it was to be an interpreter for them, and they wanted you too. After all, you have received them before." The director said seriously.The expression of this person is always the same. "Okay. When did they come?" Ji Minjia thought of the case and thought that something interesting might happen today, so he asked. "Last night. You go now," said the director.He was secretly happy because he knew that Ji Minjia had already completed the procedures to go to Japan. "An obedient comrade, though immature," he thought. Ai Zuxing came back from the park more than an hour before Ji Minjia agreed to meet the guests.It was a clear morning, the sunshine of early autumn was bright and quiet, without the restlessness of heat, and without the coldness of winter, this pleasant climate can only be found in the Northeast.The number of people on the street is increasing, and people who are in a hurry to go to work have walked out of the house. Under the sunshine, they feel comfortable, and it is different when people have jobs. Ai Zuxing has retired a long time ago. Unlike these ordinary people, he works and lives by his own labor. This kind of life is not his in the first place.However, this is just his wishful thinking, because he has been working for almost his whole life. This sunshine, this early morning, and this busy city can't make him feel a little better.These days, for the first time, he tasted what emptiness is, what is life in vain, and what is powerlessness.He wanted to cry but had no tears, but his heavy heart pressed down on his soul like a mountain, and even made his healthy body numb and fatigued. A jeep parked beside him silently, and he didn't realize until the door opened that two policemen jumped out, these were two of his acquaintances.He smiled reflexively: "You..." But his reaction was quick, and his face sank immediately. Almost at the same time as his expression changed, he took a few steps back, so fast that people couldn't see clearly whether he was how to move. "Yes. What's wrong with you? Want to show off your boxing skills?" Gu Luo said with a smile.Hu Liang is eager to try, he wants to compete with this person.But Ai Zuxing smiled: "Where is it? Are you going to arrest me?" "Why do you think so?" Gulo said. "I mainly watch..." Ai Zuxing's eyes were rolling, not like an old man at all. "Come with us, resist if you have the ability, but you also know that it is futile." Gu Luo turned cold. "Why should I resist? Well, you are members of the government, and I am a good member of the public. I don't think the Communist Party will wrong a good person. Of course I listen to you." Ai Zuxing said.His face was now as cold as ice. "Let's go." Gu Luo let him into the car.
