Demon Book Strange

Chapter 13: Gambling

"I'll help you." You asked in a voice.

"Thank you, brother." You Wenyue showed his white teeth.

"Second Young Master, I want to ask, why do you want to investigate the strange things?" Little Baylor asked curiously.

No one can tell what is the reason for the ghost transformation of human beings, and the people that ghosts transform are all kinds of strange.There is no way to check.Why didn't the Police Department of the Three Realms conduct a thorough investigation?They have been investigating these things that have appeared since three years ago.So that the clueless Police Department completely gave up the investigation, unwilling to waste manpower and material resources.

Only when they met, they sent patrols to deal with them.

But now, the only ones who are still investigating are some private detectives and Yan Shu, chief detective of the French Concession.

Little Baylor asked why he was still investigating?

Yan Shu smiled: "We can't let this matter continue in a muddle."

Little Baylor asked: "Then what if you can't find out in this life?"

Yan several times: "I can't find out, but one day, someone should find out."

You Wenyue couldn't help rubbing his hand on his lower lip: "Everything has a cause and effect, as long as you find the cause, you will know the effect."

Xie Yuan had a "hehe" smile on his old face: "This kind of strange thing can only happen in Shanghai. If the second son wants to investigate, how about I investigate with you."

You asked to give up: "No need, thank you Mr. Xie."

Jing Run said with a smile: "I don't want the boss to get involved, the second son is really a gentle person."

The oriental cat licked its mouth.

You Wenyue denied it flatly: "Butler Jingrun misunderstood. As for my brother, he is just a scholar. If he interferes with the things I want to investigate, he will only get in the way and hinder me."

Oriental Cat nodded in agreement.And You Wensheng, who was belittled by his brother, twitched the corners of his eyes.He said: "Okay, I'll ask Lu Yutang tonight. You go back and wait for my news."

You Wenyue thanked him: "Thank you, brother."

So, say goodbye and go downstairs.When leaving the New World Playground, at the gate, he passed by Chen Jinsheng. The two seemed to be strangers and went their separate ways.

Lying on the recliner at home watching the oriental cat climbing a tree and catching crows, You Wenyue was thinking about a question.

Why do human beings change in all kinds of strange ways?

In the past three years of investigation, You Wenyue has obtained countless answers, but these answers are not the final answer he wants.As far as he knows, apart from ghosts, there is another kind of ghost.

For example, what's in his body.

This thing is a living existence.Rather than ghosts out of things.

What the hell is this... Also, who is following them from time to time?

Mesmer?real ghosts?Or a goblin demon?

The oriental cat, which was catching crows on the tree, slipped and fell from the tree, hitting You Wenyue.You Wenyue screamed "Ouch" and threw him out.

"Quack quack -" the crow on the tree seemed to be gloating.

You asked about this and waited until late at night.Jing Run dutifully sent the master into the house, thanked him, and You Wenyue helped the eldest brother into the door, and sat down in the front hall.You Wensheng supported his head, feeling a little dizzy.

"Let me make you a cup of tea." You Wenyue reached out and took off the glasses on the bridge of the other's nose.

You Wensheng, who supported his head with one hand, nodded with his eyes closed.After a while, You Wen asked to bring the tea.You Wensheng slowly opened his eyes, picked up the tea, and took a sip slowly.

You Wenyue looked at him expectantly, and You Wenyue said in a low voice, "It's unpalatable." The tea leaves were put too much, and they were bitter and astringent.Moreover, this is poor quality tea.

You Wenyue scratched the silver-gray hair on his head, showed his white teeth and said with a smile, "Really? Then next time, I'll make you some delicious tea."

You Wensheng snorted lazily and continued drinking tea.

This hard-to-drink bitter tea gave him a lot of energy.You Wenyue said, "Would Lu Yutang do business with you?"

You asked in a voice, "That man is as cunning as a fox. He will auction it openly, and whoever bids the highest price will get everything for the fake medicine in his hands."

You Wenyue showed a surprised expression: "What a daring man." This man is more greedy than he imagined.

You Wensheng said: "Five days later, he will be auctioned at the New World Amusement Park. At that time, you all come together."

You Wenyue said, "That's great."

You Wensheng stood up and went to take a shower.

The next day, Gao Junfang released the news of the counterfeit medicine auction, and the news spread all over the world.The police department of the public concession went to check on Lu Yutang, but the man had already disappeared.They attacked Gao Junfang, but Gao Junfang denied it, saying that she had nothing to do with the sale of counterfeit medicines.

In order to obtain evidence, the patrol house searched her house, but found nothing.In the end, he had to let people go.

When patrolling Xiafei Road, You Wen asked to buy a newspaper to read, and this was the news he read.He laughed, "Three caves of the cunning rabbit."

While continuing to inspect, You Wenyue saw the bodies of two children on the garbage truck of a worker from the Public Works Department.You Wenyue looked at it and knew that it was either a child who died of illness or a child who was starved to death.

In summer, this is still relatively small.In winter, dead bodies of children can be seen everywhere.On the other side of the public concession, in a certain river, there are often Chinese corpses floating.

They are all people who cannot survive this cruel era.

You Wenyue continued to patrol with his companions, and when he passed the building of the Board of Directors, he saw officials coming out of it.At first, he didn't pay attention.When he took another look, he noticed something strange.

The opponent has no shadow.

You Wenyue had a strange expression on his face.

This is... the shadow was eaten?

I still remember that once, under the sun, his shadow turned into a monster in his body. If Yan Shu hadn't reminded him, he wouldn't have noticed.

As long as nothing happened to the person, he didn't see it.

There are more and more strange things happening in this oriental metropolis.

Five days passed quickly. In the afternoon, You Wenyue, You Wenzhu, Dongfang Mao and Yan Shu arrived at the playground.In a certain theater hall of the playground, it has been set up as an auction hall. Inside, all the chairs have been removed and tables and chairs have been replaced.Those who came to participate in the auction entered and sat down one after another.

You asked how many people sat at the front of the auction house.Little Baylor greeted You Wenzhu, but was blocked by Dongfang Mao.

The four of them sat down at the same table with You Wensheng, and a waiter brought them tea and snacks.You Wenyue, Dongfang Mao and You Wenzhu moved their hands and ate some snacks and tea with relish.

You Wenyue said curiously: "Brother, will you take pictures of counterfeit medicine?"

You asked back, "Do you want me to take a picture?"

You Wenyue smiled and said, "If you can take pictures, it will be convenient."

You Wensheng smiled slightly on his lips, and stopped talking.

When the auction time came, Jing Run came to the stage and said, "Welcome everyone to come and participate in this auction. The auction starts at [-] yuan. The highest bid wins. Now, please come to the stage with Mr. Lu Yutang and Ms. Gao Junfang."

Applause sounded, and Lu Yutang and Gao Junfang, wearing half masks, came to the stage.

At the same time, they also pushed a small cart.

Standing in the middle of the stage, Lu Yutang raised his hands and said loudly: "Everyone is here tonight, the comparison is all about it—" As he said, he put his hands into the small cart, grabbed a handful of fake medicines, and picked them up.The fake medicines slowly fell from his hands.He continued, "Here, there are [-] pills. Whoever pays the highest price will not only get the [-] pills, but also get the prescription for making them!"

The people in the audience were in an uproar.

Gao Junfang went on to say: "Everyone, please rest assured. After the counterfeit medicine is sold, we will leave Shanghai and never touch counterfeit medicine again."

Someone in the audience said: "I bought the medicine tonight, you better remember your promise. Otherwise, I will let you die without a place to bury you."

Lu Yutang laughed wildly: "Of course, all I want is money! Only money can bring me happiness!"

The audience booed: "Quickly start! Quickly start!"

When the auction started, You Wensheng first paid [-] oceans, followed by others.

Thirty thousand, fifty thousand, sixty thousand, eighty thousand, one hundred thousand... 20 thousand, 30 thousand...

You Wensheng stopped at 35 oceans.

Seeing that the auction price was getting higher and higher, Lu Yutang grinned on the stage, and the saliva almost flowed from the corner of his mouth into the small cart of fake medicines.

From You Wenyue's point of view, everyone on and off the stage is crazy.With so much money, it's not good to spend it on a serious business, and have to make counterfeit medicines.

Furthermore, Lu Yutang and Gao Junfang have the ability to manufacture real medicines for the benefit of the common people, why would they manufacture counterfeit medicines?

The only possibility is that the upfront investment is too high.Therefore, the cost of manufacturing counterfeit medicines is too low, which led him on the path of crooked ways.

You Wenyue turned his head to look at the auctioneers, as if he saw the faces of evil spirits.These people masked hideously for the fake medicine, and almost turned into ghosts.

Then, he saw that the men in black sitting on the last three tables simultaneously drew their guns and shot at the boss on one of the tables.

You Wenyue skipped a beat—the underworld seeks revenge!

He yelled "Get down—" he pressed down his elder brother and younger sister with both hands.

The bullet recalled "bang bang bang", and the scene was in chaos.Xiao Bei Le, Jie Yuan, Men Tu and Jing Run stepped forward and surrounded You Wensheng.You Wensheng pushed the younger sister to the elder brother: "Take them away!"

"Second brother—" You Wenzhu yelled.But was taken away.

The boss who was shot did not die, and his subordinates immediately counterattacked.Others involved also drew their guns.Lu Yutang and Gao Junfang on the stage were all messed up in the audience, so they hurriedly tried to push the fake medicine away.But other people who wanted fake medicines came to the stage with guns and wanted to detain Lu Yutang and Gao Junfang together with the fake medicines.

When Yan Shu saw it, how could he let them succeed.He and Dongfang Mao came to the stage, Yan Shu went to catch Lu Yutang and Gao Junfang, and the little cat dealt with the people who climbed up.

Those who came to the stage were kicked off stage by the kitten one by one.

You Wenyue drew out his baton, and after he stepped onto the stage, he and Yan Shu surrounded the two who wanted to escape.

Yan Shu aimed his gun at Lu Yutang.Lu Yutang pushed out the fake medicine: "I'll give you the fake medicine, but you let me go!" He didn't want to die here, absolutely not!

Yan Shu said coldly: "I want fake medicine, but you want your life!"
