But according to local investigations by the yamen, Huang Lei was from Duanzhou and had never been to other places. How could he have such a friend who knew that he was carrying a serious case and still sheltered him so much? And he should have been quiet when he ran away that year. He did not dare to accept anyone casually. From this point of view, this so-called intermediary has a very strong relationship with the boss.

In response to this doubt,

Xiao Yuer asked Xiong Tianyang again: "Boss Xiong, did you notice that there were special people around Huang Lei, such as strangers or those with abnormal behavior."

Xiong Tianyang heard the sound and said, "I didn't find anyone too special."

"Oh, think about it carefully." Old Chen and Old Liu were not as easy to talk to as Xiao Yuer. After all, they were old yamen runners. They finally had a second spring, so how could they miss it?

After thinking for a while, Xiong Tianyang said, "One day, I went to find Huang Lei. I saw a young woman in her twenties at his home, and her accent was the same as Huang Lei. When he saw me coming, he asked the woman to go back quickly. The woman seemed to be quite reluctant and kept asking Huang Lei to take good care of herself. I once asked Huang Lei if she brought the boatman from her hometown. Huang Lei only replied that she was a fellow villager, with a vague wording and unclear reference, and he had never seen the woman again since then."

With the same accent as Huang Lei? That should be the Duanzhou family? Thinking of the previous speculations, one possibility is that a local person knocked Uncle Fu unconscious that night and fled to Guangzhou with Huang Lei. Is it this woman? If she is not, does that mean that Huang Lei came to join her after being rescued? She is a Duanzhou native living in Guangzhou and has a special relationship with the person who rescued Huang Lei, so she helped Huang Lei settle in Guangzhou?

In this way, will Huang Lei be peeled and made a drum later still have something to do with her? If this assumption is valid, then the speculation sent to the drum back to Duanzhou will have some theoretical support.

However, according to Xiong Tianyang's description, the woman was very concerned about Huang Lei, which shows that the relationship between the two was absolutely extraordinary. So, can it be ruled out that she and Huang Lei met through other people's media, that is, she was the one who rescued Huang Lei and contacted the gang? Then, she must be from Duanzhou. After rescuing Huang Lei, the two fled to Guangzhou together. I really never thought that this middleman would be a young woman.

However, since the two have a relationship, she still helps Huang Lei so much, and it may not be her that Huang Lei was peeled and made drums later. Moreover, with the ability of a woman to murder such a burly man, Huang Lei, is probably not too likely. Therefore, there must be another person hidden here, which is what she speculated before that Huang Lei had a grudge against someone during his time in Guangzhou, and this person peeled and made drums.

However, why did this third person send the drum back to Duanzhou? And it was sent to a place like the opera troupe. Could it be that he (she) is also from Duanzhou? With such a suggestion, the relationship between the characters in it is a bit complicated.

Xiao Yuer quickly passed these questions in her mind and sorted out the possible people. They were: the person who rescued Huang Lei that night, the young woman with Duanzhou accent, the person with a special relationship with the boss, and the person who had a grudge against Huang Lei. Think about it carefully, these four people can be independent and may overlap with each other. It is impossible to distinguish them at the moment. Alas, how many people are there in the case? In addition, will the fifth person appear?

After thinking for a while, Xiao Yuer temporarily put down this suspicion and asked Xiong Tianyang again: "Does Huang Lei still interact with other people in Guangzhou?"

"Let's get along?" Xiong Tianyang thought for a while and said, "Oh, I remembered it. He has not been here for a long time and has had a good time with a local woman."

"Who is that woman?"

"He is a married young woman. His husband is a yard mate. Because he runs yard mate for many years, the two of them don't know how they got together. Maybe it was because her husband was not around and he felt empty and lonely. This woman later lived in Huang Lei's place. I have seen her several times. She looks very romantic."

Xiao Yuer didn't care about the woman Xiong Tianyang said, as this kind of man's romantic affair is always inevitable.

Xiao Yuer asked some other questions, but when Xiong Tianyang didn't say anything, he asked him to tell him in detail about the fire that night.

When Xiaoyuer mentioned this topic, Xiong Tianyang sighed and his lips slowly trembled. It seemed that after so many years, he still had lingering fears.

"At around the 9th hour that night, there were almost 100 men and women in brothels. I had to leave for a while because I had something to do at home. Before leaving, he told Huang Lei and others to be careful. Something was wrong with the group of people in the north of the city recently."

"It was probably just after the hour of the Hai Dynasty. After I finished the family affairs, I returned to the brothel. The men and women inside were still playing music and singing songs~~~"

"I didn't see my own person at the door, so I was about to walk inside against the wall. Suddenly, the music in the brothel stopped without warning, and then the lights went out. At that time, I thought it might be the wind blowing out."

The wind blew out? Do you think this is a demonic wind? Xiaoyuer thought to herself.

"As the lights went out, the brothel immediately fell into darkness. The people in the brothel began to get restless, opening their mouths and shouting, running around, and many people colliding together."

Seeing that the scene was a little out of control, Xiong Tianyang took out a fire note from his pocket and yelled, "Everyone, don't move around, light the lights in a while." But the noise of the people quickly obliterated his voice.

Suddenly, he saw several men holding jars in their hands walking out of the brothel against the wall, pouring the liquid in the jars everywhere while walking. At the same time, a strong smell of kerosene quickly spread into his nostrils.

Xiong Tianyang immediately knew that something was wrong, so he ran forward and grabbed the collar of a tall man: "Damn, are you looking for trouble?"

Due to the darkness in the depths, the fire light of the Fire Skio was extremely bright. He immediately recognized that this person was a small leader of the Chengbei Gang.

The little leader looked at Xiong Tianyang and was obviously stunned. He suddenly swung the jar of wine, smashed it at his head, and cursed: "Damn, are you still here?!"

Xiong Tianyang immediately let go and dodged, but unexpectedly, in a panic, the fire broker in his hand fell to the ground.

The flame fell on the kerosene splashed on the ground, and immediately changed from small to large. In an instant, a fire wall rose near the door. The flames spread rapidly along the splashing traces of kerosene. The wooden tables and chairs were also ignited, making a sound of clicking and the whole brothel suddenly became a sea of ​​fire. The flammable decorations on the roof and walls quickly melted and softened under the barbecue of fire, and fell on everyone's head and body.

There were shrill screams everywhere in the brothel, and everyone was running wildly in the blazing flames, and people were constantly being trampled and burned. They yelled and struggled for a few times, but they never got up again.

Seeing the tragic situation in the brothel, Xiong Tianyang and the little boss were stunned and stood there in a stalemate, temporarily forgot their confrontation with each other. Seeing that the fire was fierce and had swept over, Xiong Tianyang was the first to wake up and suddenly opened the door and ran out. The little boss also rushed out of the brothel with several accomplices.

Outside the brothel, the little boss and others caught up with Xiong Tianyang, and the two sides fought on the street. Xiong Tianyang was stabbed in the lungs and was shocked on the spot. Then he knew nothing.

Afterwards, he miraculously survived. It seemed that God should not have died. Xiong Tianyang saved his life, and at that time, he decided to be a good person. According to Xiong Tianyang's description, the Yamen quickly locked the suspect as the Chengbei Gang.

During the subsequent arrest, the Chengbei Gang was beaten up in one fell swoop, but the small leader who took the lead in arson ran away.

More than ten years have passed, and no one knows where the little leader is and whether he is still alive.

As for the brothel fire, the firefighting facilities were too fierce and the firefighting facilities were behind, and the people trampled on each other while escaping, and the bodies blocked the passage. According to statistics afterwards, the fire killed more than 90 people, and only a few escaped.

Xiong Tianyang's story made us feel a little heavy, and no one said anything for a long time.

Xiao Yuer thought about some details Xiong Tianyang mentioned during the description process. There seemed to be something wrong. That night, before Xiong Tianyang left the brothel, he told Huang Lei and others to be careful and pay attention to the group of people in the north of the city to cause trouble. However, after he returned to the brothel, he did not see his own people at the door, but found that the little leader and the others walked out of it and poured kerosene into the door. Did Huang Lei and the two accomplices not notice the arrival of the little leader and the others? Logically speaking, since the leader had already spoken, they would definitely patrol around the brothel, why didn't he stop it? And why didn't Xiong Tianyang see Huang Lei and the others?

More importantly, the words the little leader said when he saw Xiong Tianyang made him feel extremely suspicious, and that sentence seemed too abnormal.
