    One hundred and sixty-seven clues

    Meng Ju smiled cordially, but his words were categorical, leaving no room for error.

    Yuan Yikang knew in his heart that his attempt to make peace would probably fail, but he didn't feel embarrassed at all - Meng Ju didn't reject him on the spot, and he didn't lose face.  Whether it succeeds or not is a matter between Tuoba Xiong and Meng Ju. He is just a middleman, as long as the favor is earned.

    Yuan Yikang doesn't care, and Yi Xiaodao doesn't care even more.  Looking at his face, he looked confused and had the look of an innocent passerby - Meng Ju stared at him for a long time, confused and confused.  Once he and Tuoba Xiong fall out, Yi Xiaodao, as a confidant of Marshal Tuoba, will definitely be put on the front line as cannon fodder. How can he be so comfortable?

    But Xian Yuba was interesting. He originally looked arrogant with his nose raised to the sky, but when he saw Meng Ju threatening to ask Tuoba Xiong to hand over his hand and let him chop him down - he dared to challenge the generals of the Six Towns on the ground of Northern Xinjiang,  Such a fierce person immediately frightened him, and he no longer dared to look at Meng Ju.

    After talking about the business, everyone had a nonchalant chat, and Yuan Yikang led his two men to leave - unfortunately, there was a table of delicious food, and no one used their chopsticks much, so it was almost intact.

    Meng Ju slowed down and then led Ouyang Hui out. When he was going out, shopkeeper Du from Tianxiang Tower was guarding the door. He greeted Meng Ju respectfully: "Mr. Meng, are you free now?  I have something I want to tell you."

    Meng Ju paused: "Boss Du, do you have something to do with me?"

    Shopkeeper Du secretly glanced at Ouyang Hui, who was next to Meng Ju, and said nothing. Ouyang Hui was very well-behaved and left before Meng Ju could say anything: "Sir, I'll go down and take a look first. I'll wait for you downstairs."

    After Ouyang Hui went down, Shopkeeper Du seemed much more relaxed and said with a smile: "Mr. Meng, you haven't been to our Tianxiang Building for a long time. Miss Ouyang has always been looking forward to you, but you just never come - Chief Meng, you have been promoted.  , please don¡¯t forget us old friends, right?¡±

    Meng Ju was also smiling: "I just came back from Luojing, and I am so busy with so many things. How is Miss Ouyang doing recently? The last time I saw her singing and dancing, it was very moving, and I still think about it even more!"  "

    "Qingqing is okay, but she only misses you, sir, and looks haggard. Sir, although I am very busy with official duties, I still want to meet my old friends! Miss Ouyang has been looking forward to you giving her guidance on the piano art.  ,hehe"

    Shopkeeper Du laughed twice and lowered his voice: "Sir Meng, I encountered something a few days ago. It's a bit strange. I don't know if it's okay or not. I thought I'd better tell you, sir."

    "Huh?" Meng Ju became more energetic. He knew that the shopkeeper who opened the restaurant wanted to make friends with people from all walks of life. The news was the most vivid: "Shopkeeper Du, what's going on?"

    "Two days ago, seven or eight men came to the restaurant. They asked for a private room and ordered a few girls to eat and drink. We who were watching the scene came to me and told me that these people looked very tough.  You know it, he must be a figure in the world¡ª¡ª"

    Meng Ju vaguely guessed it and asked: "But they plan to eat the King's meal?"

    Shopkeeper Du shook his head: "It doesn't matter even if we eat the King's meal. We run a restaurant, who haven't seen anyone? As long as you are really a good man, it doesn't matter if you have a good relationship. We can still afford a banquet. After all, there are so many  There are many ways to make friends! I asked shopkeeper Li to go into the box to toast, and said that I would give them a discount. I also wanted to see if I could find out where these people were from - Chief Meng, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m nosy, but a restaurant owner has a lot of things to do.  It doesn¡¯t hurt to be careful.¡±

    "Yeah, I know, just keep talking."

    "Shopkeeper Li went in to toast, but came out soon. He found me, looking very flustered - I was surprised, because shopkeeper Li is not an unscrupulous person. He usually associates with bad guys, why is he like this?  He looked so scared for the first time? I asked him what was going on, were the people inside very vicious?

    Shopkeeper Li said no. Although the customer inside was a Jianghu person, he was not very aggressive. Instead, he clinked glasses with him politely.  However, he saw a person inside and was immediately frightened.  "

    "A person? Who is it?"

    Staring at Meng Ju, shopkeeper Du whispered: "Shentu Jue!"

    Meng Ju was caught off guard when he heard the name. He felt a bang, all the blood in his body rushed to his head, and he almost fainted when his eyes turned dark.  He barely managed to hold himself up, and asked in a low voice with a calm attitude that surprised himself: "Then Shopkeeper Li, did he see the wrong person?"

    "You must have read it right. The last time he caused trouble here, our shopkeeper Li was particularly impressed by him and recognized him at a glance. He didn't dare to say anything, pretended to be nothing, came out, and told me secretly. I was also frightened.  Jump, runI glanced aside and saw that it was indeed that person - although he had grown a beard and was a bit darker and thinner, his body shape, face shape and eyes would not change.  "

    Meng Ju clenched his fists and asked in a deep voice: "What happened next? Did you report to the official position?"

    Shopkeeper Du seemed a little embarrassed. He said vaguely: "I wanted to report it to the official, but I was afraid that I would admit the wrong person. After such a delay, the group of people paid the bill and left, and it was too late to report it to the official. At that time,  Chief Meng, you haven't come back to Dongping yet. Even if I want to report to the official, I don't know who to report to? It would be great if you came back early, Chief Meng. I would feel much more at ease"

    Meng Ju stared angrily at Shopkeeper Du for a while. The latter lowered his head and did not dare to look back at him.

    In fact, both of them knew it well, and all shopkeeper Du said were excuses.  Such a group of people come to a restaurant to eat and drink and even ask girls to sit with them - and maybe even sleep with them. They will definitely not leave soon.  If Shopkeeper Du is willing to report to the officials, it is only two-quarters of an hour's journey from here to the Jing'an Department, which is enough for Lingwei to mobilize manpower to catch them.

    But obviously, Shopkeeper Du is afraid of causing trouble. If Lingwei catches Shen Tujue in his restaurant, a lot of furniture will be damaged in the fight. It would be even worse if someone is killed or injured. The restaurant will have to close for a while. Customers will listen  It is said that there will be scruples in places where someone has just died, which will affect business.  Moreover, Shopkeeper Du was also worried that Shen Tujue or his companions would come back to retaliate in the future. For a businessman, more trouble would be better than less trouble.

    "What happened two days ago - Shopkeeper Du, what's the use of telling me now?"

    Meng Ju¡¯s tone was calm, but Shopkeeper Du could hear the anger contained in this calmness.  He shuddered and carefully explained: "Sir, although we didn't report to the official, we secretly told the girls accompanying the wine to pay attention, listen to what they said, try to trick them, and find out where they were staying. But these days  He was very cautious and tight-lipped - only once, one of them let slip and said, 'Sister, you and your brother should go back to Yue Lai Lai' - but immediately, someone next to him glared at him, and he refused to say any more.  ¡±

    Meng Ju perked up and said thoughtfully: "Yelai? Where is that place? Is it an inn?"

    "I don't know about this. Chief Meng, we only inquired about this news. They were very tight-lipped. They just drank and ate vegetables and didn't say anything else. A girl turned around and told me that in  One of the men has a black wolf head tattoo on his arm. From what they said, it sounds like he is coming to Jing'an to do something big."

    "Black wolf head?"

    Meng Ju¡¯s first reaction was the Black Wolf Gang¡ªShen Tujue and they were all lackeys of Tuoba Xiong, so it was normal for them to get together.  Are all the local gangs in Jingan blind?  People from the Black Wolf Gang had sneaked in, but Zhu Gong and the others didn't know anything about it and didn't even come to report it.

    After comforting Shopkeeper Du for a few words, Meng Ju quickly walked out of Tianxiang Tower.

    Ouyang Hui was waiting at the door of the restaurant, with a serious and unsmiling face, as serious as if he was about to kill someone with a knife - if the boss was pulled by the brothel owner and whispered for a long time, a wise and sensible person would be better off showing off.  Show this expression.

    But Meng Ju's expression was more serious than his. After getting on the carriage, he immediately asked Ouyang Hui: "Inspector Ouyang, is there an inn called Yuelai in the city?"

    "Yelai Inn?" Ouyang Hui was stunned: "I've never heard of this place. I'll help you find out tomorrow, okay?"

    Meng Ju frowned, but considering that Ouyang Hui is an administrative official of the Integrity Department, he is just a civil servant like the office director, so it is useless to get angry with him. It is really inappropriate to rely on him to catch Shen Tujue.

    So, who is responsible for this case?

    According to normal case-handling procedures, he should summon the chiefs of the Criminal Case Division and the Search Division overnight to immediately seal off the entire city and launch a comprehensive search operation. As soon as this idea came up, Meng Ju immediately rejected it: In the beginning, assassins could do whatever they wanted.  If they enter the provincial office to kill people and set fire to people, if they enter an uninhabited country, there must be spies from the border army in the provincial office, and there must be more than one.  Meng Ju couldn't believe the officers in the provincial department.

    Meng Ju said calmly: "Let's go back!"

    Looking at Meng Ju¡¯s serious expression, Ouyang Hui had a vague feeling that something very important was about to happen.  Looking at Meng Ju's murderous face, he was faintly afraid, but he didn't dare to ask any more questions.

    The carriage drove back to the provincial office and sent Meng Ju back to his home.  When parting, the Inspector of the Independent Commission Against Corruption finally plucked up the courage to ask: "Sir, tomorrow we will go to the ceremony to commemorate Governor Ye Zhen. Will it still go ahead as planned?"

    Meng Ju nodded: "That's natural - is there any problem?"

    "No - sir, if something happens, please just ask me. Although my ability is weak, I will try my best to get it done."Dear man, please believe in your humble position.  "

    Meng Ju raised his head and looked over. Under the light of the lantern at the door, Ouyang Hui's expression was very sincere. He looked at Meng Ju intently, his face full of expectation.

    Meng Ju stared at him for a moment, nodded and said: "Inspector Ouyang, I understand your intentions, and of course I believe you. Don't sleep too deeply tonight, and wait for my orders at any time."
