Chapter 9: Zhang Niu'er has a ghost, the surviving Hu Shang

In his previous life, Shen Mo's eyes were notoriously ruthless and accurate.

When he was at the police academy, his instructor told him: As an undercover agent, his main skill is to be able to see things that others cannot see.

If you want to survive and solve the case, you must be able to observe the most subtle and smallest signs around you, so that you can control the direction of various events.

So when Shen Mo was a teenager, he had undergone arduous training for this.

The instructor asked him to stand on the overpass at the intersection, and he kept an eye on every car passing through the intersection at any time with his eyes. What's more abnormal is that he must accurately remember the license plate numbers of these vehicles.

If you stare at this training method with your eyes tightly, you will not only see one of them, but you will also exhaust yourself to death.

This skill requires the trainee to remember every detail in his mind like a camera. When you need to apply it, you can mobilize these images from memory at any time.

Among the training camps that Shen Mo participated in, he was the one who did the best in this training among all the students.

So when he was undercover, even if he was surrounded by a pack of wolves, he could remember all the details around him with a seemingly unintentional glance.

And this unique skill is Shen Mo, who is an undercover agent, the best skill!

Just today, Shen Mo glanced over and found that something was wrong among the guys being escorted.

Shen Mo's eyes did not directly pay attention to him, but seemed to be looking at the other direction aimlessly. However, the person's eyes and movements did not escape his eyes at all.

This guy is about 20 years old and has a bad eye. His little eyes are constantly spinning around. But Shen Mo found that this person's attention is always wandering in the same place.

It was a corner beside the courtyard wall, and the location was relatively hidden. There were neither flowers nor trees around it, nor anything surprising. But the person's attention was always focused on that point!

"What's there?" A slight suspicion arose in Shen Mo's heart.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo pushed Lu Qiang standing next to him with his elbow.

"Old Lu, ask the boy's name." Shen Mo calmly gestured to Lu Qiang to the guy with his eyes.

Although Lu Qiang was not sure about this, he still walked forward according to Shen Mo's request and came straight to the problematic guy.

The iron chain in Lu Qiang's hand made a crisp "slam". When the guy looked up and saw a detective coming towards him, he was immediately startled.

"What's the name?" Lu Qiang asked in a deep voice.

"Little... Zhang Niuer." The guy looked a little panicked.

"I'm looking around, what are you looking at!" Lu Qiang rebuked angrily and looked up and down at Zhang Niuer.

Just as they were both in the time of answering questions and answers, Shen Mo had already understood it.

My own judgment is right, Zhang Niuer is indeed a problem!

Just when Zhang Niuer answered Lu Qiang's question, although he looked panicked, he still raised his head and looked at Lu Qiang.

The place he looked at was Lu Qiang’s eyes!

Shen Mo, who is proficient in interrogation, certainly knew that this was the instinct of a liar. When a person was lying, he would involuntarily look into the other party's eyes to see if the other party was deceived by his lies.

As the clerk of this old shop, Zhang Niuer naturally could not lie with his name. This means that he was observing Lu Qiang just now to see if Lu Qiang was really suspicious of him.

Or he wanted to know how much the constable Lu Qiang in front of him knew!

"What's the matter in that corner?" Seeing this scene, Shen Mo couldn't help but think in his heart.

After Lu Qiang came back, he saw that Shen Mo had no expression and was not able to go up in front of everyone, so he asked Shen Mo, so he had to return to his original place quietly.

On the other side, the county magistrate Lu Yue had experienced the body and began to call the people from Wanhesheng's old store from the shopkeeper to the client to ask questions one by one.

When Shen Mo heard what they said, the incident happened last night. Four corpses were covered under the reed mat on the ground, all of which were Hu Shang who lived here.

The shopkeeper of Wanhuo Store is named Mu Qing, who looks like an honest and honest person. He and his friend insisted that it was raining all day on the day of the incident, and the guests hid in their own yards and did not go out.

And they naturally had no reason to come over to disturb the guests in the rain, so they didn't know anything about what happened here.

The result of Lord Lu's questioning was that he had nothing to gain, so he had to wave helplessly and let all these people retreat aside.

Then, Lord Lu gave a few more instructions. After a while, a yellow-haired and blue-eyed Hu Shang was brought over by the officers and came to the front of the county magistrate and his group.

When the man opened his mouth to answer Lord Lu’s question, Shen Mo was shocked.

It turned out that this man was in the same group as the four Hu Shangs who died on the ground. When the incident occurred, he was in this yard!

...

I saw that Hu Shang looked haggard and frightened. The expression on his face had been distorted by fear and worry. After Lord Lu's repeated questioning, he gradually told his previous experience slowly.

It turns out that this Hu merchant really comes from Dashi, and his name is "Apu". He and the four dead Hu merchants were on the shore of Yongkin Gate Wharf in Lin'an on the 29th of last month.

In addition to Apu, the four Hu Shangs who died were named: Alan, Ruohan, Monia and Lus.

Originally, after the Hu merchants got ashore, they would start selling the treasures they brought. However, when these people got ashore, they were about to end the cold food market, a few days before the Qingming Festival.

It is said that it rains heavily during the Qingming Festival, and this is true. In Lin'an, these days of each year are always misty and rainy, and this year is no exception.

Since these people got ashore and lived in this old Wanhesheng store, they have been trapped in the store and cannot leave the store by rain.

These people came from afar and were extremely tired, but they took this opportunity to take a break. So they rented this small yard, bought some food and wine from the Song Dynasty, and drank here every day on the rainy day, just waiting for the sun to clear up and go out to do business.

The day of the incident happened to be Qingming Festival.

On this day, the five Hu merchants ordered Sanyuanlou to send new bayberry lotus roots, honey bucket melons, pepper-core loquats, purple lily green starch, Lin Qinjin Taoer and other new fruits. They also had roasted venison, croquettes, sheep hooves, stuffed clams, cardamom crispy snails and other dishes.

These people ordered a few jars of good wines from the Song Dynasty, such as Rose Dew, Shizhouchun, etc., and were still drinking in their own halls to spend their time.

The place they came to is the current Mesopotamian Basin, which is around Iran and Iraq. The weather is very hot and dry. Therefore, the drizzling drizzle in Lin'an is constantly all day long, which is a scene for them.

These people enjoyed the rain and drank, chatted randomly, and drank for a whole day. It was dark and it was dusk.

These merchants traveled back and forth between Haidao, and the risks were extremely high. This time, Apu Ping'an arrived in Lin'an, the Song Dynasty, and saw the profits were in front of him. He was very happy, so this guy drank a few more drinks. When the weather came, he was already drunk.

As the sky was about to get dark, the banquet was almost over. Apu got up and walked out of the yard along the corridor, wanting to go out and untied it.
