A pawn shop?

That pawn shop is the only clue now. Su Fei go there and have a look.

After digging out those people, we might be able to find the whereabouts of Liu Niang.

Su Fei first called the police to arrest Yang Yinglong, and saw the shocked eyes of the policeman.

Yang Yinglong was extremely cooperative and was put in shackles by the police.

He also said thank you to Su Fei.

He has a Sixth Rank official position, so even if he takes the case, it may not be a capital crime.

No matter how you look at it, imprisonment is better than death by poisoning.

Su Fei After settling the matter, he turned around and walked out of the check-in room. It was the afternoon and the sun was shining brightly.

He left Shuntian Prefectural Office and walked to the south of Drum Tower Street.

The streets are bustling with people and the sound of hawking can be heard all the time.

According to the address given by Yang Yinglong, he quickly found the location of Prosperous Treasure Pawnshop.

The shop is divided into a front yard and a back yard. It has a vermilion door panel, a plaque with gold characters on a black background hanging on the lintel, and two strings of copper bells hanging at the door. It looks no different from an ordinary pawn shop.

Su Fei Pushed the door and walked into the shop. All he could see was the living room in the front yard. The counter was half a foot higher than an ordinary pawn shop. A shopkeeper with a goatee was lowering his head and fiddling with his abacus. When he saw someone coming in, he raised his head and glanced at him.

There was a sharp look in his eyes, which was definitely not what an ordinary shopkeeper should have.

Moreover, there are thick calluses on the index and middle fingers of his right hand, which are obviously traces left by holding a knife or practicing boxing for many years.

"What do you want to be, guest officer?"

The shopkeeper's tone was calm, with a hint of scrutiny.

Su Fei deliberately pretended to be embarrassed and took out an ordinary jade pendant from his arms.

"Shopkeeper, look at how much silver this jade pendant can be used for. The child at home is sick and we are in a hurry for money."

The shopkeeper took the jade pendant, looked at it under the lamp, and said casually.

"This is an ordinary jade pendant. It's not good enough. I'll give you fifty coins at most. If you want to pawn it, sign it. If you don't pawn it, take it away."

Su Fei became increasingly certain that there was something wrong with this pawn shop.

This jade pendant is not very valuable, probably worth about fifty cash.

But as long as a pawn shop is open, it is for the purpose of making money. Generally, a pawn shop that can give thirty cash is pretty good.

How can anyone give fifty cents?

Moreover, the shopkeeper's attitude was so perfunctory, he didn't look like someone who opened a shop and did business.

Coupled with the traces of martial arts training on this person's palm, there is no doubt that he is a martial artist.

Su Fei pretended to be disappointed and shook his head.

"Only fifty cents? It's too little. I'll go to another place and ask."

Wait until the night gets darker and the bright moon hangs high.

The red lantern in front of the pawn shop had long been extinguished, and a wooden sign indicating that it was out of business was hung on the door. The pedestrians on the street gradually dispersed, leaving only the occasional latecomers passing by in a hurry.

Su Fei was hidden in the shadow of the alley diagonally opposite, his eyes always fixed on the direction of the pawn shop's backyard.

The breath is completely restrained,

After waiting for about half an hour, it was confirmed that there was no movement in the front yard of the pawn shop, and Su Fei moved.

Using the Fleeting Light Shadow movement technique, he walked around to the backyard of the pawn shop like a puff of smoke.

The fence in the backyard is very high, and there are broken glass stuck in the wall, obviously to avoid prying eyes.

Su Fei jumped in lightly and quietly climbed in. The backyard is not big.

There were bundles of dry firewood piled in the corner. Warm yellow light shone through the window of the wing, and there were faint sounds of punching, talking and laughter, mixed with the aroma of wine and meat.

Su Fei walked under the window, God-tier Insight Technique was running at full strength, and the five senses were instantly increased several times.

The movement in the house was clear and could be heard.

There was the crunching sound of bowls and chopsticks, the splash of wine being poured into the bowl, and the chatter and laughter of the five people.

He looked through the gap in the window paper and saw a square table in the room. Five men were sitting around the table. The table was filled with marinated pork elbows and braised beef. Several bottles of wine were poured into the jar. They were obviously drinking to their heart's content.

What makes Su Fei even more strange is that although the auras of these five people are not as thick as Greater Mortal Transformation Realm, they are also Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist.

You know, Mortal Transformation Realm martial artist can be considered a backbone anywhere, but there are five people hiding in this Xiaoxiao pawn shop?

Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon.

"Haha! When we burned Hai Family last time, we did it neatly. The meritorious service rewarded by the cabinet is enough to get us a lot of benefits."

A pockmarked man held a wine bowl and drank it all in one gulp, his tone proud.

"You? Come on, if it weren't for the man surnamed Yang who joined the army and decided that the case was an accident, how could it have gone so smoothly?"

As soon as he said these words, a cold light flashed in Su Fei's eyes.

Sure enough, it is related to the Hai Family fire case.

That being the case.

Su Fei no longer hid, walked to the door of the west wing, raised his right hand, condensed True Essence in his palm, and slapped the door panel fiercely.

Bang.

The force of his palm exploded, and the heavy wooden door fell apart like paper, with sawdust flying.

The expressions of the five people in the room suddenly changed, and most of them were so drunk that they suddenly woke up.

They all stood up and took out the long swords from their waists.

"Who are you?! You dare to invade our Prosperous Treasure Pawnshop territory. Are you tired of living?"

The pock-marked man held the knife and stared at Su Fei fiercely, his tone full of vigilance.

He could feel that the aura of the young man in front of him was very dignified, something unusual.

Su Fei stands with hands behind his back.

"I, Imperial Guard Thousand Households Officer, let me ask you, was it you who caused the fire at the Hai Family? Where is Liu Niang now? Which force are you from?"

"What, Imperial Guard? You are Imperial Guard."

The five people's faces turned pale at the same time. They looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes.

They never expected that they would attract people from Imperial Guard.

A person's name, a tree's shadow, Imperial Guard is not something to be trifled with.

The five people were initially frightened by the words "Imperial Guard", but their eyes swept across the empty courtyard behind Su Fei, and then they looked at Su Fei carefully.

He was dressed in casual clothes and didn't even have a helper behind him. How could he have the slightest sense of Imperial Guard handling the case?

The panic on several people's faces lessened slightly.

The pockmarked man who took the lead suddenly burst into laughter and almost lost his grip on the long knife in his hand.

"Boy, if you say you are Imperial Guard, it's just you. If you say you are, then you are.'

"I also said that I am the emperor's second child."

The other four people also reacted, feeling relieved and laughing, and the panic in their eyes completely turned into contempt.

"You kid, are you a fake? You want to scare some of us."

"That's right, Imperial Guard, how can anyone dare to come to the door alone when handling a case? I'm afraid it's because our pawn shop is rich and I want to come here to pawn pawns."

"I think he is just tired of living. If he dares to come to our Prosperous Treasure Pawnshop to make trouble, I will make sure he never comes back today."

Although they could feel that Su Fei's aura was not weak, after all, it was five Mortal Transformation Realm martial artists who joined forces. In their view, even if Su Fei was really some Imperial Guard, he would never be their opponent alone.

What's more, they have backers behind them. Even Heaven-Answering Prefecture's judicial officers have to listen to them. They are not afraid of Imperial Guard Thousand Households Officer who is Xiaoxiao at all.

A tall and thin man next to him rolled up his sleeves, revealing the scar on his arm. He took a step forward, raised the hand holding the knife slightly, and Mortal Transformation Realm's breath burst out.
