"When did you arrive in the mountain city?" Liang Yu asked the two people standing in front of him with a smile on his face and in a casual tone.

Jiang Wenming seemed a little reserved, but he still answered honestly: "Sir, we came here on the third day of the Lunar New Year. It took us a few days to find a house, so today is the first day we go out and try to do business."

Seeing this, Zhang An quickly took out a few strings of candied haws carefully made by Jiang Wenming from a basket beside him and enthusiastically handed them to several police officers.

He began to promote his product, "Commanders, please try our candied haws. The fruits are guaranteed to be clean. They have been carefully washed, and the sugar used is pure rock sugar."

Liang Yu took the candied haws with a smile, then took his men into the house to check.

He first walked into one of the rooms and saw a child sleeping soundly on a small bed.

Liang Yu walked lightly to the bedside, carefully looked at the child's face, and thought to himself: This should be the child selling candied haws mentioned in the confession.

Then Liang Yu walked into another room, where there were two simple beds made of wooden frames. It looked like that was where the two people outside slept.

There were two wooden barrels in the main room, one of which contained white liquid, and the other contained a dark purple and thick liquid. The fragrance emitted by these two liquids was extremely strong.

He felt a little uncomfortable because of the strong aroma, and quickly reached out to close the lids of the two buckets.

Although he moved quickly, the fragrance still followed him and made him sneeze.

Zhang An walked over quickly with a warm smile on his face.

He pointed at the two wooden barrels and introduced them to the crowd, "Sir, this white one is specifically for washing hair, and the dark purple one in the back is for bathing and cleaning. Both of these are our specialty products, and they are very effective."

As he spoke, Zhang An quickly bent down, picked up several filled small bottles from the ground, and distributed them to the people present one by one.

As he distributed them, he said, "Gentlemen, take these home and try them out. If you find them useful, please patronize our small business more often in the future!"

Finally, Liang Yu and his friends came to the kitchen. The space here was not big, and they could see all the items inside at a glance, and it seemed that nothing could be hidden.

Liang Yu walked into the yard and asked, "Did you see any suspicious people when you were setting up the stall today?"

Jiang Wenming and Zhang An exchanged a glance, and Zhang An said doubtfully, "Sir, we've been busy taking care of the kids all day. We've been surrounded by people buying things, and we've been so busy we don't have time to pay attention to any suspicious people!"

Liang Yu and the others had actually known this for a long time. After all, these two men were busy like tops today and had no time to rest the whole day. Apart from coming back to pick up the sold-out goods, they had no extra time to commit crimes.

There is also a very serious problem here. When they asked the parties involved how much they had lost, they were hesitant and vague. They just said that the money in their homes was missing, but they could not clearly say how much was lost.

What is even more strange is that after some investigation, they found that most of the houses that were robbed were purchased by some officials outside.

It is obviously no coincidence that these places were robbed one after another at the same time. There must be a huge problem hidden there.

"Brother Liang, Brother Liang..."

Just then, a burst of urgent shouts suddenly came from outside the yard.

After hearing this, Liang Yu hurried to the entrance of the yard and saw that it was Zhang Qiang.

"Zhang Qiang? Has your team finished the search?" Liang Yu asked hurriedly.

Zhang Qiang saw Liang Yu standing at the gate and hurried over, panting, "Brother Liang, this is bad! I just got the news that Jiu Ye's casino was robbed! The underground storage room in his casino was actually emptied!"

"The casino was also robbed? How is this possible!" Liang Yu's mood was extremely complicated. They all knew that the casino was not a good place, and many families were broken up because of its existence.

Zhang Qiang lowered his voice, as if afraid of being overheard. "Last month's entire income, plus the money sent from other casinos, is all in there! It's said to add up to a hundred thousand dollars."

Liang Yu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief. "So much money? This just happened?"

He turned his head suddenly and stared at the two people in the yard with sharp eyes.

Zhang Qiang nodded quickly. "It shouldn't have been that long. They delivered some stuff in at 7 o'clock, and the stuff was still there then. It's not even 10 o'clock yet, and so much money has disappeared in such a short time!"

The person standing behind Liang Yu was equally shocked and interrupted to ask, "There are so many people coming and going in the casino, is there no one who noticed anything unusual?"

Zhang Qiang also thought this matter was quite strange. "I don't know the specific situation, but I also think it's very strange. With so many thugs in the casino, what are they doing? Are they just sitting around doing nothing? I suspect this must be the work of a mole in the casino!"

"Let's go and take a look." Liang Yu said to Jiang Wenming and the others, "If you encounter anyone suspicious, you can go to the police station over there to find me. My name is Liang Yu."

Zhang An quickly nodded and agreed, "Sir, we understand. If we see anyone unusual, we will definitely notify the commander."

"Don't call us sir. We are just police officers in the police station. This is our Inspector Liang. I'm a little uncomfortable hearing you call us sir." Zhang Qiang laughed when he heard what they said.

"We are country people. We fled all the way here and only the three of us uncle and nephew are left. We understand all this. Thank you for your guidance, Inspector." Jiang Wenming hurried forward to explain.

After Liang Yu and the others left, Jiang Jiyun came out of the house and said, "Uncle, come in and talk."

After closing the door to the small courtyard, Jiang Wenming blocked the stove, and Zhang An put away the pot and candied haws.

The three people entered the space, and this time they saw boxes and boxes of silver and jewelry, and the papers looked like house ownership certificates.

Chen Meng and Peng Yongyan stood aside speechlessly watching the man who still had sleep marks on his face, was wearing autumn clothes and trousers, and had his hat tilted on his head, standing there rummaging through the boxes.

"Oh, people in the casino can read books?" Jiang Jiyun looked at the people who were sorting things over there, holding an antique book in his hand.

Zhang An casually glanced at the book in her hand and asked in confusion, "What book? It looks like an ancient book?"

"What fire map? A fire prevention map? It seems that people in these casinos also know about fire prevention! But how did people prevent fire in ancient times?" Jiang Jiyun opened the book in confusion.

Zhang An heard Jiang Jiyun say this, his eyes widened and he turned to look over. "Fire avoidance map? Xiaoyun, you can't look at that!"
