Chapter 134 is strangely stupid.
Chapter 134 is strangely stupid.
Lu Xiaofeng laughed when he heard this, no matter how you looked at it.
Someone capable of committing such a serious crime couldn't possibly be a fool.
On the contrary, anyone who says such a thing is a fool.
However, since Boss Qian was able to become the head manager of Datong Money Shop, he obviously wasn't a fool.
Why would he say something so mindless?
With this thought in mind, Lu Xiaofeng glanced at Boss Qian with a meaningful look in his eyes, and noticed that Boss Qian seemed to avoid his gaze when they met.
I had some guesses in my mind.
Lu Xiaofeng then smiled and looked at Boss Qian, saying, "Boss Qian, you know what, the person behind this might really be a fool."
Upon hearing this, Boss Qian noticed Lu Xiaofeng's gaze and did not continue the topic.
Instead, he gave an awkward smile. What he said today was somewhat foolish, and it's possible that this one sentence has already aroused Lu Xiaofeng's suspicion.
The best course of action now is to do more and make more mistakes, and do nothing and avoid making mistakes. The best approach is to remain unchanged in the face of all changes. Even if Lu Xiaofeng suspects something, there is no evidence.
He has served the Hua family for so long, and given Hua Manlou's personality, he won't easily take action against him unless Lu Xiaofeng can produce substantial evidence.
"Hehe, Master Lu is joking. I'm just an old man who runs a money exchange, what do I know about investigating cases?"
With a broad smile, Boss Qian turned to Lu Xiaofeng and said, "When it comes to investigating cases, you, Master Lu, are the real expert!"
"Oh?"
Lu Xiaofeng looked at Boss Qian with a smile.
"Since Boss Qian trusts me, Lu Xiaofeng, it seems I must solve this case, otherwise I would be betraying Boss Qian's trust."
"Don't dare."
Boss Qian shook his head and changed the subject.
"I suddenly remembered that there are still some accounts to be settled at the bank. I'll go and take care of them now. Master Lu, please make yourselves at home, young master and your distinguished guests."
Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was already suspicious, Boss Qian didn't linger and cupped his hands in greeting to Hua Manlou.
He then walked towards the door, but whether he was busy with accounts is unknown.
After Boss Qian walked out of the room.
"Is there something wrong with Boss Qian?"
Hua Manlou looked at Lu Xiaofeng, who was deep in thought, and asked softly.
Although he is reluctant to doubt his own people, that does not mean he is a fool.
Boss Qian's reaction just now was too abnormal; it wasn't at all like his usual shrewdness.
The words he uttered were so stupid they were almost bizarre, inevitably raising a suspicion in his mind.
"It's not entirely certain yet."
Lu Xiaofeng pondered for a moment. After all, Boss Qian had been working for the Hua family for so long, so he couldn't make a hasty judgment.
"However, in my opinion, Boss Qian must be playing some role in this matter. There must be someone behind him. He couldn't have made such a big fuss on his own."
Hearing Lu Xiaofeng and Shan Tianxie's conversation, his eyes lit up, and a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, including regret or nostalgia) flashed through his mind.
That's more like it! That's more in line with their reputation for being incredibly intelligent!
Just from Qian Laoda's words, Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou were able to keenly sense that something was wrong with this person!
Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie perked up and decided to speed up the case-solving process! He'd pull some strings for Lu Xiaofeng!
"Brother Lu's analysis is quite correct, but in my opinion..."
At this point, Shan Tianxie paused, a hesitant look on his face, as if he was struggling with whether or not he should say it.
"But what?"
"Young Master Shan, please speak freely."
Lu Xiaofeng and Hua Manlou exchanged a glance, then spoke at the same time.
They also wanted to hear if Shan Tianxie had any different opinions on the matter.
"In that case, I'll tell you straight away."
Having already done enough foreplay, Shan Tianxie didn't directly state his opinion, but instead brought up two other people.
"Brother Hua and Brother Lu, what are your thoughts on the two constables sent by the Six Doors to investigate this case?"
"Is Young Master Shan referring to Jiang Long and Luo Ma?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Manlou frowned.
"Could it be that Young Master Shan suspects that there are officials involved in the case of these counterfeit banknotes stirring up trouble? If that's the case, then things will be quite difficult."
It's not that we're talking about anything else; with the Hua family's power, dealing with two constables would be a piece of cake.
But the most crucial thing is that behind them are these six doors, and the Grandmaster Guo Juxia!
Even when beating a dog, one should consider its owner; those who dare to mess with the Six Doors should at least give a heads-up to Master Guo.
However, he really didn't want to face Guo Juxia unless absolutely necessary, and the reasons for this were quite complicated.
At this moment, Lu Xiaofeng, who was standing to the side, also shared the information he knew about the two of them.
"Jiang Long and Luo Ma have served in the Six Doors for quite some time, and have earned the nickname 'Flying Dragon and Iron Horse' in the martial arts world!"
"At the same time, their ability to handle cases is also widely recognized."
Within the Six Doors, he was second only to the Four Great Constables, the Golden-Clad Constable Tie Wuqing, and Jin Jiuling, among a handful of others.
"Brother Shan, do you now think there's something wrong with the two of them?"
"Indeed."
Dan Tianxie smiled slightly, and instead asked Lu Xiaofeng, "Although their ability to solve cases is obvious to all, they didn't handle this case very well!"
Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng began to silently recall the various unusual behaviors of Jiang Long and Luo Ma that had occurred recently.
The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt, and his expression became extremely serious.
He began to believe Shan Tianxie's guess that at least one of Jiang Long and Luo Ma was the problem!
"Brother Lu, have you figured it out?"
"Brother Dan's suggestion is indeed a bit strange. How could two people with such strong detective abilities not think of starting with the source of the banknotes? It seems they didn't do anything before we arrived?"
Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng couldn't help but sigh. He was a person who hated trouble.
But now things have become even more complicated, with even the Flying Dragon Iron Horse of the Six Doors getting involved.
"Everything needs to be corroborated by evidence, and the most important thing now is to find the evidence!"
Lu Xiaofeng took out the Buddhist beads that Wu Yan had given him.
"I plan to go to Yunjian Temple first to see if I can find any clues!"
"In that case, I'll go to the Six Doors first and meet with Master Guo. After all, I need his permission before I can take any action against his men!"
After pondering for a moment, Hua Manlou decided that he should first go and greet the Six Doors.
Guo Juxia said that he almost became family with him, although in the end it didn't happen for various reasons.
However, Guo Juxia has always been a man who hates evil and cannot tolerate any injustice. As long as there is solid evidence, he may personally take action to clean up the internal affairs.
"Okay! You guys go ahead with your work, I'll go wander around for a bit, drizzle is walking."
Having said all that needed to be said and pointed out all that needed to be pointed out, Shan Tianxie decided to trust the combined strength of the two of them for the rest of the matter!
Either Lu Xiaofeng or Hua Manlou could easily beat Luo Ma like a punching bag, completely overwhelming him in both martial arts and intelligence, so there's absolutely nothing to worry about.
