Hong Yi finally returned to the city after a lot of haste. He went to join in the fun without a second thought. He ran straight to Huang Yi and asked, "Where is my Red Team assigned to now?"

Huang glanced at him and said, "Send them to the brothel and casino for reinforcement after nightfall!"

"How can you just play supporting role? It's okay if someone is watching over the brothel, but I'm going to play at the casino, a den of gilded wealth that makes a fortune overnight. Shouldn't you be suspicious of something?" Hong Yi was dissatisfied with the fact that his teammates only played supporting role.

"What do you doubt?" Huang Yi looked at Hong Yi seriously after hearing that.

"People who stay overnight in casinos frequently and in groups, could they be ordinary gamblers? What kind of relationship do they have? Don't you suspect it? I won't tell you anymore. I need to check it out. If I go too late, I'm afraid that they will move everything away and leave you with an empty shell." As Hong Yi spoke, his suspicion grew stronger. Since ancient times, power and profit have been difficult to separate. There were so many people who abused their power for personal gain. How much awareness could a group of reckless men have? Thinking of this, he slipped away very quickly!

"Hey, explain clearly..." Huang Yi couldn't stop the man even when he stretched out his hand, but it did give him an idea. He had to check the accounts of the North Camp and send a message to the North Camp to check the warehouse account books at night. Huang Yi was thinking about how to hit the target in one go while waiting for the interrogation time to come.

Late at night, there were only two places that were still brightly lit, one was a brothel, and the other was a casino. Hong kept running to his target point and found his team members outside the casino. "What did you find?"

"Everything will be back to normal soon." Hong Jiu whispered.

"You guys keep guarding, Xiao Shi, follow me!" Hong Yi led his men to the roof of a house near the casino. The owner of the house had turned off the lights and gone to sleep. He lay on the roof and listened carefully. There was nothing else except intermittent snoring!

Hong Yi motioned to Hong Shi to observe the comparison between the casino and the surrounding houses, "Did you find anything?"

"Boss, it's pitch black all around except for the casino, which has bright lights. There...there are three other places with lights on in the back as well." Hong Shi understood what the boss meant at a glance.

"Yes, focus on monitoring the three houses with lights still on. I suspect they are from the casino. Go and explain the situation to Hong Er, and follow up quickly." Hong Yi has always trusted his intuition. He took the lead in jumping onto the roof of another house hidden in the dark night, eavesdropping all the way, and gradually approaching the lighted house behind the casino.

In the first room, the lights were on and there were snoring sounds coming from downstairs. Hong Yi lifted a corner of the roof and looked down through the small gap, only to find a group of people lying in a mess, with their clothes on. Hong Yi felt his way towards the gate of the courtyard and found that the gate of this courtyard shared an alley with the back door of the casino.

Without stopping, he continued to explore another small courtyard and met Hong Shi. "Have you arranged for surveillance?"

"All right!"

"Well, be careful in all three places! I'll go over and take a look!" Hong Yi walked around to explore. The lights in the other two houses were on, but no one was found. How strange! Something must be wrong! Hong Yi found a room with no lights on. He lay on the roof and listened carefully to confirm that no one was in the room.

When Hong Yi was thinking about whether to change his clothes and go to the casino for a stroll, he found that the originally dark room suddenly had a ray of light, and then the light became more and more. Hong Yi had heard footsteps, and the footsteps did not come from outside the door, but from inside the room. Hong Yi found through the gap that the light was actually coming from under the bed. What does this mean? There is a secret room, and the entrance is under the bed. After waiting patiently for a while, an old man crawled out from under the bed. As soon as he crawled out from under the bed, he turned off the light and walked to the door in the dark, which means that he was particularly afraid that others would notice this room.

Hong Yi made a mark on the roof of this house and followed the old man. The old man looked around and saw nothing unusual, so he tiptoed to another nearby house and waited quietly. Hong Yi knew that the two houses were related because he used the same key chain to open and lock the door.

Just as the Yin hour arrived, the back door of the casino opened and more than a dozen people came out one after another. First, a few of them rushed into the first courtyard and woke people up, saying "shift change, shift change".

"Oh, oh okay!" So the few people who were lying there sleepily entered the casino through the back door.

The original people did not go to bed immediately, but each carried half a cloth bag of things and came to the house where the old man was waiting.

"Butler, everything has been brought here as you ordered!" the leading man reported.

"Well, the master has something to do, he will find a way to get out. If you meet people asking about him, remember to insist that you don't know him and he's just a gambler. Everything is normal, go!" The old man whispered a few more words and waved his hand to let them leave.

The old man put all the half-bags of things into a black cloth bag under the light. He almost stumbled when he carried it on his back, which showed that it was not light. In Hong Yi's sight, the old man returned to the dark room, and the light finally disappeared with him. Hong Yi, who was worried that it was not a secret room but a secret passage, quickly asked his teammates to come to help, one to keep an eye on this room, and the other to keep an eye on any nearby houses for any movement. After half an hour of such tense waiting, the dark room finally had light again. After a while, the light went out, and the old man lay on the bed and fell asleep.

Hong Yi was sure of the accuracy of his judgment, so he asked his men to hide and ambush to prevent the person from moving. Then he leaped towards the cell, his light figure rising and falling on the dark roof without anyone noticing.

The several interrogation rooms in the prison were full again. When Hong passed by, all he could hear was their crying and confessing their mistakes.

"Sir, I really know I was wrong. I was drunk and passed by a brothel when someone forced me in. Woohoo~ They forcibly robbed me of my valuables and forced me to drink..."

"Wuwuwu, please forgive me, I have old people and children at home, and this is the first time, really the first time I've made a mistake."

"Sir, please save me because we both serve the prince. I, Pan Niusheng, will definitely repay you for saving me in the future!"

……

Tsk tsk, they are all pretending to be innocent and pitiful. No one would have the heart to pursue the matter any further! Hong Yi curled his lips sarcastically when he heard this. Things were getting more and more interesting.

"Captain Pan, if you don't explain the situation clearly, I can't help you. I just want to ask you where the military pay of your troops went? Why was the pay for July paid this month? Why wasn't the pay for the other three months paid? Where did it go?" Huang Yi questioned coldly.

"Oh, sir! I can see that you have no experience with our grassroots teams. The payment has always been delayed by three months. This is the custom. In this way, the money can be used to purchase food and supplies, build barracks, and subsidize field personnel. This huge group wakes up every day and opens their mouths to eat. They have to spend money before it’s due. Every month they have to wait for the silver salary to arrive to fill the hole in the front. My lord, I am worried too!..." The more Pan Niu Sheng spoke, the more fluent he became, and the more sincere he revealed his feelings. He said that he was worried about the team, that it was reasonable for there to be no money in the account now, and that he was sincere. He said that he went to the casino just to gamble for fun, and that he relied on his wife's shop to support his family, and he would never embezzle a penny from the team!

Huang Yi knew that he couldn't get anything valuable out of this man for the time being. He had no choice but to have him taken away and locked up, and then continue to interrogate the next one. Hong Yi flashed in and whispered something to Huang Yi, which startled Huang Yi so much that he stood up. "Quickly send someone to monitor his family and find evidence. Continue the interrogation here, and hurry up!"

"There's someone from the Black Team watching over there. I don't know if he's smart enough. Oh, I have to take action." Hong Yi narcissistically brushed his hair back and turned away leisurely. This made Huang Yi feel cold all over. The sleepyhead had been scared to death. At this moment, his mind was very clear and he shouted, "Next!"
