Sky Surveying Demon Hunt

Chapter 363 Casino
After paying for the meal, I gave Xiaoer a tael of silver as a reward.

After sending Xiao Er away, Lin Ji took Huang Cui and left the inn directly, and followed behind the shopkeeper.

Just now Lin Ji casually left his spiritual sense on him, and even though the shopkeeper disappeared, he would not follow him at all.

Not long after, the two arrived outside a mansion.

It can be seen that the shopkeeper of the inn still has a lot of family property. Although the mansion does not look big, it is also somewhat grand.

Lin Ji and Huang Cui walked into the mansion, and soon came out of the dead man's room.

Standing outside the house, they could already hear the cry of the shopkeeper inside, and in front of the door, they could already vaguely see some blood dripping out.

Xiao Er was right, she had indeed shed a lot of blood.

Lin Ji opened the door and walked in, only to see two maids wiping away tears, while the shopkeeper was crying bitterly while hugging the dead body on the bed.

Although the corpse had died not long ago, the skin on its body had already become morbidly pale due to the massive blood loss.

Lin Ji noticed the corpse's wrist hanging down from the bed again.

"It's so miserable." Huang Cui couldn't bear to watch from the side.

Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly.

After being a headhunter for several years, he has seen too many tragedies in the world. Even in the peaceful Qingyang County, there will be some tragedies that make people cry all day long.

The world is not peaceful, that's it.

What he was paying attention to at this time was the wound on the wrist of the deceased.

"It's about cutting the wrists, which one have you seen that cut half of the bones?" Lin Ji asked suddenly.

Huang Cui's expression froze, and only then did she realize that something was wrong.

Lin Ji continued: "How ruthless does this person have to be to cut his own wrist like this? A woman? Even if she is ruthless, can she bear the pain?"

"If she can bear such pain, what do you think would make her despair?"

During the time spent talking, the people in the room finally discovered the existence of Lin Ji and Huang Cui.

Just as they were about to inquire, the county government had already arrived.

Niu Butou came to the scene with a few men. After seeing Lin Ji, he quickly bowed and saluted.

"Don't worry about me, you take care of your business." Lin Ji signaled.

Niu Butou responded quickly, and then came to the shopkeeper's side.

"Treasurer Qian, why did Mrs. Qian kill herself? What happened?" Niu Butou asked.

"No, I don't know either." Shopkeeper Qian's eyes were still red, "There's nothing wrong with her these days. When I went to the inn this morning, she asked me to bring some snacks for her at night."

"I don't know why she can't think about it all of a sudden! A husband and wife, what can't you tell me?"

While talking, shopkeeper Qian felt sad and began to cry again.

Niu Tuotou and his subordinates looked at each other, obviously helpless.

Soon, Niu Tuotou came to Lin Ji's side.

"Lord Lin, the treasurer Qian and Mrs. Qian are quite affectionate. The two couples have no bad deeds in normal times. They are also very popular in the county. They don't seem to be the kind of people who would have something like this happen."

"But now it's out, you are the head catcher, you come to ask me?" Lin Ji raised his eyebrows, making Niu catcher tremble in fright.

But at this moment, someone came outside again.

This time it was a strong man who came with seven or eight subordinates.

The strong man's face was full of flesh, with a fierce look.

When he arrived at the scene, he grinned and cupped his hands when he saw the cattle catcher.

"Li Laosan, what are you doing here?" Niu Tuotou asked coldly, not giving the strong man a good face.

The brawny man smiled and said, "Hahaha, bull catcher, it's rare!"

"Old Li came here to collect the bills. Hey, why is Mrs. Qian dead? This is not good. No one here will say that the debts will be cleared."

Lin Ji took Huang Cui out of the room and watched quietly.

Soon, there were quarrels and voices of persuasion from the cattle catcher in the room.

Lin Ji already understood what happened.

Huang Cui sighed from the side: "Then Mrs. Qian became addicted to gambling, and even lost her family property, and regretted committing suicide?"

The quarrel inside was still going on, probably because the debt collector Li Laosan was yelling nonsense like suing the government if he didn't pay back the money.

Huang Cui was a little dissatisfied and said: "This Li Laosan is too impersonal, he just died and he came to ask for money."

Lin Ji shook his head and said, "It's not surprising at all. People of three religions and nine streams are like this. They only recognize money but not people. If you get along with each other and you know that your wife has lost all the family property, what will you do?"

Huang Cui couldn't figure it out.

Lin Ji sighed softly: "If it were me, I would take away what I can take away, and take away what I can exchange for money, and then just walk away and run away."

"The people who run the casino also know this truth, so they immediately come to collect debts, fearing that if the money is not obtained, no one will be able to find it."

"Even so, it's too much." Huang Cui was still a little bit aggrieved.

"Gamblers don't deserve sympathy, but the cashier is poor." Lin Ji said casually, and then muttered, "Gambling hurts people again."

"What is it?" Huang Cui asked puzzled.

Lin Ji recounted what he had heard from Qi Zheng before. The first person Qi Zheng dreamed of dying was because of gambling.

He lost his wife in a bet and committed suicide.

After finishing speaking, Lin Ji said in a cold voice: "How can those who enter the game have the spirit of playing the game? Many people don't understand this truth. It is abominable for casinos to harm people, and it is abominable for gamblers to hurt their families."

But at this moment, Huang Cui suddenly said: "Brother Lin, do you think these two things are related?"

"what?"

"Casino, Brother Lin, you also said that Mrs. Qian's death was abnormal. She cut off half of her wrist abruptly... She can even endure such pain. How could she be forced to die by gambling debts? ?”

Hearing this, Lin Ji had a flash of inspiration in his mind.

At this time, it seemed that the result had already been decided. The shopkeeper presented the inn's deed and title deed in exchange for an IOU written by his wife.

The industry of a lifetime is so handed over to others.

Seeing that Mr. Li left with his three toes proudly, Lin Ji narrowed his eyes slightly, leaving a trace of consciousness on his body.

"You're right, these two things might be related." Lin Ji looked at Huang Cui and smiled lightly, "It seems that I have to become a gambler for a while."

Not long after, Niu Tuotou also came out and briefly explained the matter to Lin Ji.

Most likely it was the story of committing suicide because of the guilt of losing family property due to gambling.

The story is not unusual, and Lin Ji has heard it all just now.

"Then what is the background of the casino?" Lin Ji casually pointed to Li Laosan who was walking away and asked.

Niu Tuotou laughed dryly, and didn't know how to explain it for a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Lin Ji immediately understood.

A nest of snakes and rats.
