Beijing.

The place where Yan Qilin and the others got off the bus happened to be an alley.

There are quite a few people with lights on in the courtyard inside the alley. The key is that they want to get information, and they can't just knock on the door and go to someone's home to get information.

Several people walked along the alley, looking for a shop or something to see if they could get some news.

Even if the nightlife in the capital is not as prosperous as in Lujiang County, there should still be bars open at night.

No, after walking for a while, the three of them saw a colorfully lit plaque with the words "Alley Tavern" written on it.

There is actually a big difference between pubs and bars in Beijing.

Bars are entertainment venues for young people, who relax with music, while pubs are where older people spend their time chatting, telling everyone what they know, and learning more from others. information.

The consumption in the tavern is relatively cheap. Generally, those who like to have a drink here are those who dare to do heavy physical work. After finishing their work, they gather in the tavern to chat about the latest news, complain, and scold the boss. It's quite relaxing.

Many times, you can get more news and clues from the tavern.

The eldest sister didn’t know much about tavern culture. She only knew that this was the only shop open at the moment, so she just strode forward and was the first one to go in.

Yan Qilin and Wang Xiaodao saw the eldest sister just going in, and they hurriedly followed.

However, after taking a clear look at the environment inside the tavern, the three of them also understood why there were no shops open along the way.

Even inside the tavern, it was not that lively and noisy. There were only a few people sitting around the table, and the expressions on their faces were not very good-looking, full of sadness.

At this time, someone came into the tavern and immediately attracted everyone's attention.

Wang Xiaodao was wearing a Taoist robe, and the eldest sister was holding her shovel in her hand. Yan Qilin had his own air conditioner and carried something like a long knife wrapped with a strip of cloth on his back.

Can cold weapons be brought out openly?

The combination of these three people is very strange no matter from which angle you look at it.

After all, a customer came to the door, and the boss took the initiative to greet him with a big smile, "How many drinks do you want for these guests?"

When he said this, the boss also deliberately glanced at Wang Xiaodao. These days, Taoist priests should also drink, right?
"Give me a dozen!"

Before Yan Qilin and Wang Xiaodao spoke, the eldest sister spoke first, "By the way, when I said a dozen, I meant liquor!"

The boss is a well-informed person, and he has never seen anyone ask for a dozen liquor, especially the person who asked for a dozen drinks was a woman.

For a moment, the boss forgot to react.

Wang Xiaodao reacted quickly and hurriedly covered the eldest sister's mouth, looking at the boss apologetically, "I'm sorry, she was joking, just three beers will be enough!"

The eldest sister, whose mouth was suddenly covered, was still unconvinced. Wang Xiaodao almost dragged her over and sat down: "Auntie, we are here to inquire about the news, not to drink!"

I know that the eldest sister always drinks liquor as a drink, but now they have a mission and cannot be greedy.

After being reminded by Wang Xiaodao, the eldest sister calmed down, and she also remembered her mission.

Although the boss thought Wang Xiaodao and the three of them were a little strange, he quickly relaxed and came over with three glasses of beer.

Not in a hurry to drink, Wang Xiaodao looked at the people sitting around him and asked the boss curiously:
"Boss, it's quite early now. Why doesn't there seem to be anyone in your pub?"

After hearing Wang Xiaodao's words, the boss looked up at him and said with a wry smile: "Man, are you just coming to the capital?"

Why did the boss know that he had just arrived in Beijing just by asking a question?
No matter how you listen to these words, it sounds like something has happened.

Wang Xiaodao nodded naturally: "We have just entered the capital. No, the first shop we saw open is your tavern!"

"Only people who have just arrived in the capital and don't know anything would ask this question."

As he spoke, the boss had already walked back to the counter and sat down, "The capital has not been very peaceful recently, and it seems you are unlucky to come to the capital at this time.

I would like to ask, are you here for tourism or to visit relatives and friends? "

The boss looked at Wang Xiaodao and the three of them with inexplicable sympathy in their eyes, as if they had made a huge mistake by coming to the capital at this time.

The eldest sister realized something was not right, but the boss said half of what he said and left half of it, obviously to arouse their curiosity.

"Boss, um, we are not here for tourism. We are here in the capital to find someone. Do you know the Wang family?"

Seeing the eldest sister asking the boss like this, Wang Xiaodao and Yan Qilin were a little speechless. They didn't think the boss would know the person they were looking for.

"Wang family? You girl, there are so many people named Wang in the capital. Which Wang family are you talking about?"

The boss laughed and thought the eldest sister was joking.

"That girl, I know a Wang family, but I don't know if you are talking about the Wang family!"

A middle-aged man sitting at the table next to him shouted, and several others laughed.

"I said, Lao Litou, stop bragging here.

That Wang family is not an ordinary family. Ordinary people almost don’t know about that Wang family.

Nizi, the Wang family that Old Li Tou mentioned is a long-established family in the capital, a wealthy family that is almost unknown to outsiders. If you want to find the Wang family, it shouldn't be this Wang family, right? "

After smiling and scolding the middle-aged man who just answered the conversation, the boss looked at the eldest sister and explained seriously.

Hearing this, the three Wang Xiaodao people looked at each other. Without much thought, they knew that the Wang family where the powerful kings lived was the Wang family in the boss's mouth.

What is written in the information is indeed true. Even if the Wang family declines, it is still relative.

"Hey, boss, you just said that the capital is not peaceful. What are you referring to?"

Instead of continuing to dwell on the Wang family's affairs, just as the boss said, ordinary people didn't know about the Wang family at all. Wang Xiaodao naturally changed the topic.

The moment Wang Xiaodao asked this question, there was a moment of silence in the entire tavern, as if you could hear a pin drop clearly.

The atmosphere in the tavern became inexplicably depressed, and the other guests who were drinking stopped moving their hands.

The boss did not speak immediately. Instead, he took a deep look at Wang Xiaodao, and then let out a long sigh. He poured himself a glass of wine, drank it down in one gulp, and then spoke in a particularly heavy tone. say.

“When you are looking for someone in the capital, you always need to know.

I have said now that you can also be mentally prepared.

A lot of things have happened in the capital recently..." When he said this, the boss lowered his voice and seemed to be saying something.

Although his voice was low, Wang Xiaodao and the other three had extraordinary hearing, so they could still hear clearly.

"A serial murder occurred in the capital?"

Wang Xiaodao was a little in disbelief.

He is a person who often surfs the Internet, but he has no idea that such a big thing is happening in the capital. There is no news at all on the Internet.

Wang Xiaodao's exclamation was loud, and several other people looked over, but they obviously also pricked up their ears, waiting for the next development.

"As you know, the nightlife in Beijing is very prosperous. Even though my pub is located in an alley, the business is never bad.

But now, in recent times, this business has simply plummeted, and all of this started from the first murder that happened a few months ago..."

The eldest sister was confused when she heard this, "No, boss, your business is not doing well, what does it have to do with the murder?
Could it be that the murder happened in your store? "

Her words made the boss almost jump up and hit him.

"What are you talking about, Xiao Nizi? Of course the murder didn't happen in my store. Otherwise, wouldn't my store have been closed down long ago?"

As if recalling bad things, the boss looked bitter and resentful, "After the murder occurred, the Criminal Investigation Department started investigating non-stop, but nothing was found after repeated investigations.

Then, one thing after another happened.

When it comes to this matter, people who know it say it is quite strange.

Most of the people who died were killed on the road in the middle of the night, right on the street of Dongzhimen.

How long has it been? Anyway, the Criminal Investigation Department has not given a result. The key is that the same murder is still happening.

Everyone knows this, who dares to walk on the street in the middle of the night?
No one goes out at night, and the nightlife naturally stops. Will my business be affected? "

The boss is worried that his business is half dead, but there is nothing he can do. After all, no one dares to make fun of his own life.

Only then did Wang Xiaodao and the others understand why they felt so depressed after entering the capital. Wasn't it very depressed?
Everyone is afraid of being killed on the road at night, so no one dares to go out.

"Boss, you have so much information. Do you have any information about who the murderer is?"

The eldest sister looked at the boss seriously, as if she could really get the answer from him.

The boss waved his hands with a look of shame on his face: "How do I know who the murderer is? I am just an ordinary citizen. If the people in the Criminal Investigation Department cannot find out something, how can others know about it?"

"But boss, didn't you say that this matter is a bit evil? Do you really not know any inside information?"

Looking at the boss reluctantly, the eldest sister wanted to get an explanation from him.

"I said Nizi, don't embarrass the boss.

Let me tell you, this is really not something that humans can do! "

The middle-aged man who was sitting in the corner and drinking heavily stood up and staggered to the table where the eldest sister and the others were holding a wine glass. The smell of alcohol was flowing as he spoke, and it looked like he had drunk too much.

The eldest sister, Wang Xiaodao, and Yan Qilin all looked at the big man and said that he spoke the truth after drinking. Who can guarantee that what this big man said was not the truth?

Seeing this middle-aged man, the boss seemed a little helpless, "Big Qian, what are you talking about!"

"I, I'm not talking nonsense!"

Yawning, with the smell of alcohol filling his nostrils, Da Qian was still a little dissatisfied, "It's been widely spread outside now that the things in that well came out to kill people!"

He spoke with a loud tongue, his enunciation was not very clear, and he slapped the table twice.

With his brows twitching, the boss came out from behind the counter, took out a lot of money, and apologized to Wang Xiaodao and the others in embarrassment:
"Da Qian is an old customer. When he drinks too much, he will tell nonsense about things he has and doesn't have. He can't do anything true.

It’s getting late, so you’d better find a hotel to rest first! "

The boss obviously didn't want Daqian to say anything anymore, so he simply persuaded Wang Xiaodao and the others.

The eldest sister just wanted to continue asking, but Wang Xiaodao pulled her first and shook his head at the eldest sister.

Yan Qilin looked at Daqian and gave Wang Xiaodao and the eldest sister a look.

All three of them knew that if they wanted to get more information, they had to make a breakthrough from this big money, and there was no need to rush.

They simply stopped staying in the tavern and went out after paying the bill.

After collecting the money, the boss glanced at the undrunk beer on the table and muttered, "It's really fun to come to the pub without drinking!"

"Boss, if they don't drink this wine, why don't they give it to me?"

Daqian happened to be standing in front of the table and saw the undrinkable wine, so he smiled at the boss and said.

"Drink, drink, I'll drink you to death sooner or later!"

Waving his hands angrily, the boss was too lazy to argue with the big money.

Satisfied, he drank three more glasses of wine in a row, and Daqian felt comfortable after drinking. "Boss, it's time to book the account!"

After saying that, he staggered out of the tavern.

The boss doesn't care much about the big money. They are all regular customers and there will be no defaults or anything like that.

Daqian walked out of the tavern. After all, he had drunk too much and couldn't walk very steadily. He only vaguely remembered the way home, so he staggered down the alley.

With his drunken eyes, Da Qian seemed to see three people standing not far away.

The light in the alley was not very good, and Daqian's vision was even less good. The three figures were motionless, and his intuition made Daqian stop. The cold wind blew, and he was mostly awake from the wine. When he looked over again, He couldn't help but shudder.

He seemed to have thought of something.

His body was stiff and his heart was beating so fast that it seemed like it was about to jump out of his mouth. Daqian wanted to escape but couldn't move. He could only watch the three figures getting closer and closer.

As the distance got closer, Daqian could see clearly that these three figures were clearly the three young people who had just left the tavern first.

Panting heavily, Daqian felt that his body was weak.

"You three kids, instead of finding a place to rest, are you standing here in the middle of the night to scare people to death?" (End of Chapter)
