Chapter 87 The Golden Bell Casino
After the door opened, the cold wind poured in.

After everyone in the room had dispersed, Fu Yuhuan walked in.

Zheng Nian had already poured tea for him.

Fu Yuhuan sat in front of Zheng Nian, picked up the tea, took a sip slowly, with a look of embarrassment on his face.

"It's rare to see your expression like this, why?" Zheng Nian was very calm.

"There are many things." Fu Yuhuan said, "Many strange people have come to the capital."

"Isn't it very common for strange people to come from strange places?" Zheng Nian smiled and sipped his tea, looking at Fu Yuhuan, "We are not the garrison of the capital, and no matter how many strange people there are, it has nothing to do with us."

"I saw a man at the inn. He was carrying a pitch-black knife, very black. But he was very white." Fu Yuhuan said, "He asked me to buy him a drink."

"Did you invite?" Zheng Nian asked.

"No." Fu Yuhuan said.

"What's so strange about him?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Xu Zhu saw him at the Golden Bell Casino." Fu Yuhuan said.

Zheng Nian looked at him, "Did you admit your mistake?"

"No matter who sees someone like him, he will never admit his mistake. No matter where he is, he is always the most eye-catching person." Fu Yuhuan said.

"So you have a clue." Zheng Nian took a deep breath.

"Yes." Fu Yuhuan nodded, took out a copper coin and put it on the table.

Zheng Nian looked at it carefully for a moment, took it in his hand, and turned it upside down a few times, "Is this... the copper coin in Tailor Zhang's hand?"

"Yes." Fu Yuhuan said, "It's not an ordinary copper coin."

Zheng Nian took out his purse and randomly threw out a few copper coins for comparison. This comparison did reveal the difference.

"Although the copper coins in Tailor Zhang's hand are the same as the usual copper coins, the characters on them are different."

The copper coin in Zheng Nian's left hand is his own, and the four words on it are: Kaiyuan Tongbao, while the words on the copper coin found in Tailor Zhang's hand also read Kaiyuan Tongbao on the front, but on the back it is: Jinling Casino.

"An explanation?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Both Xu Zhu and Wang Dabiao told me that they had never seen this kind of copper coin. Wang Dabiao is a regular customer of Jinling Casino, and Xu Zhu has been there for more than half a month." Fu Yuhuan said.

"How did you find out?" Zheng Nian asked.

"It was given to me by that strange person." Fu Yuhuan said, "After I found out about this, I went to compare it with Tailor Zhang's house, and found that the copper coins were indeed like this."

Zheng Nian looked at Fu Yuhuan thoughtfully, "Tailor Zhang... what about the carpenter?"

"Carpenter? Carpenter and Tailor Zhang..." Fu Yuhuan paused.

"The connection between the carpenter and Tailor Zhang is that they are both Zeng Guangshou's creditors?" Zheng Nian stood up and walked directly outside the house.

The sky is cold and the ground is frozen, and the snow starts to fall at some point or another.

Jiang Mingzheng led a few people to plant a ginkgo in the courtyard. It looked like a primary school student who had just arrived, shaking the snow all over his body, as if greeting Zheng Nian.

Zheng Nian called Jiang Ming, gave some instructions, and Jiang Ming walked out of the courtyard immediately.

The two went to the warehouse.

The warehouse used to be just for storage of sundries, but after Zheng Nian arrived, improvements were made.

Now it is used to store the evidence found when the case happened, as well as various items related to the case, such as murder weapons, because the previous no-one case was of great importance, and most of the things were stored here.

Jin Yiwei didn't know at the time that Zheng Nian had set up an evidence room alone, so he only took away the corpse and didn't touch anything here.

The person guarding the barn is Tong'er.

At this time, Tong'er was sitting by the stove alone, practicing horse stance.

"How much? Not with you?" Zheng Nian asked.

"Master! Aunt Fang's wife in Guangqing Lane passed away last night and came to report his death. Sister Qian followed Xu Zhu to write to confirm the cause of death." Tong'er said, "What are you looking for? I know you well here."

"Take out all the things from the two carpenters' homes in Changle County, and label them as unresolved cases," Zheng Nian said.

There are labels on the cabinets, and everyone's evidence is marked and stored in a carton of specified specifications for easy retrieval.

Stepping on the ladder, Tong'er took out the three large cardboard boxes hidden in the corner and put them on the table at the door, "Master, please have a look."

"At that time, everything on them and at home was exchanged." Zheng Nian said.

"There are also traces of looting at the scene." Fu Yuhuan said, "I don't know if there is any money left."

The two rummaged around, but found nothing new, so they had to give up.

Sitting around the stove and waiting for a long time, Jiang Ming hurried back from the outside, holding a purse in his hand, "Master! I found it!"

Zheng Nian took the purse and dumped all the money inside on the table.

There were three hanging coins and a dozen copper coins inside, and Zheng Nian finally found a dozen copper coins from Jinling Casino on one of the hanging coins.

"Where did you find it?" Fu Yuhuan was puzzled.

"The butcher's house." Jiang Ming said, "In the hands of his widow, I exchanged it for a tael of silver."

Zheng Nian took out a tael of silver and put it in front of Jiang Ming, with a solemn face and hands behind his back, he walked into the courtyard.

"The batch of copper coins produced by Jinling Gambling House was not used in their own gambling house." Fu Yuhuan said.

"No, it's used." Zheng Nian walked into the side hall with his head down, sat on the rocking chair, kept trying to figure out the few copper coins in his hand, and said lightly, "The copper coins made by the gambling house and the Jinyiwei reached an agreement Prostitutes, creditors who appear inexplicably, what can you think of?"

"Thinking... there may be copper coins and creditors in the gambling house, but there are absolutely no prostitutes." Fu Yuhuan said, "I have been there for at least ten days, and I have never seen a prostitute."

"Then where will there be autocratic copper coins, loose prostitutes and wealthy creditors?" Zheng Nian asked.

Fu Yuhuan was silent.

It's not that he's not smart enough, but that he hasn't seen it.

Zheng Nian smiled and said, "It seems that I have to go in person."

"Why?" Fu Yuhuan asked, "Where are you going?"

"Go to Jinling Casino." Zheng Nian said.

"It's normal there." Fu Yuhuan said, "There is no need to appear, and if you appear in a dangerous place now, you will be very dangerous."

"It's not dangerous there." Zheng Nian said, "You have been patrolling the area for ten days and haven't found it. How could it be dangerous?"

"Found what?"

"Golden Bell Casino may not be as small as you imagined. On the contrary, there is a bigger casino there. There, tailors may not be tailors, and carpenters may not be carpenters." Zheng Nian looked at Fu Yuhuan calmly.

"What do you mean, there is a bigger and more secret place in Jinling Casino?" Fu Yuhuan said.

"Yes." Zheng Nian nodded, "But you can't go, a person who can keep Nuo Da's underground casino so secret must have discovered your whereabouts long ago, so we need a stranger to go to this strange place. The place."

Fu Yuhuan didn't speak, but just looked at Zheng Nian calmly.

"And people who go to such a place must not be novices." Zheng Nian laughed.
