You Tianfu has sharp eyes and extremely meticulous thinking. Although Zishu did not question them at the time and gave them a stack of banknotes as compensation, just a hint of strangeness in his eyes was enough to prove that this matter would not be easily let go.
And the fact was just as You Tianfu had analyzed. After returning to the park, the pockmarked man's body was not buried immediately. Instead, it was sent to a designated location where the soldiers took off his bathrobe, washed off the dirty bloodstains, and then restored the damaged parts as much as possible, waiting for Zishu to come and inspect.
The fat man was tied up and sent to the interrogation room. He recounted the whole story from beginning to end in front of Zishu. After finishing, he muttered to himself with a puzzled look on his face, saying that he usually couldn't drink so much. He didn't know what had happened today. Two glasses of white wine made him lose his mind and made such a heinous mistake...
Because his mind was in a hazy state and his eyes were full of illusions when the incident happened, the fat man was convinced that he had assassinated the pockmarked face. Especially when he was pulled away by the soldiers and his vision gradually became clear, he looked at the pockmarked face in a pool of blood and his own saber in his hand, and he blamed the root of the problem on the two glasses of white wine.
When Zishu heard what was said, he said nothing until the fat man finished telling the whole story. Then he found some suspicious points in the whole process and called the five soldiers who were present to the side, asking them if they had come into contact with anything strange, especially the fat man himself.
From the moment the six people entered the entertainment city, they ate and drank together and smoked cigars together. Except for the fat man who went upstairs first, all the actions were completely synchronized. The fat man was also very sure that nothing happened to him in the process of going upstairs, and he had already reacted at that time, feeling dizzy and his vision was blurred.
At this point in the interrogation, Zishu had already guessed about 70% of the situation. He turned around and went to the pockmarked man's body to take a closer look.
After removing all the clothes and the blood stains, everything became clear in an instant. Although there were more than a dozen holes on the pockmarked face's chest, there was no sign of much bleeding from the wounds.
The military doctor in charge of the cleanup also spoke up and said that judging from the hardness, temperature and muscle condition of the corpse, the time of death should be more than twelve hours!
The military doctor's words further confirmed Zi Shu's guess. He narrowed his eyes, as if he understood something.
The cause of pockmarked face's death was extremely suspicious, but now that they had returned, the scene had been cleaned up immediately, leaving no evidence. If they went directly to the man's house, it would inevitably alert Ruan Kaiming, and if things got out of hand, no one would feel good about it.
So Zishu kept this account in mind and had the pockmarked man buried according to the procedure. As for the fat man and the other five soldiers, although they were set up in secret, it was also because of their own negligence. They originally came with the mission of looking for someone, but ended up craving for food and wine.
So they could avoid the death penalty, but they could not escape the punishment of life imprisonment. All six people were sentenced to military law, and were beaten with twenty military sticks on their buttocks, followed by three days of solitary confinement.
The matter was temporarily over. Although Zishu could guess that the death of Ma Zilian must be related to You Tianfu and others, he did not believe that the matter would be made into such a big deal just because of a soldier. What's more, You Tianfu was currently the boss of the civil district. As Ruan Kaiming said, they wanted to firmly establish their roots here and would need You Tianfu's help in the future, so they would never tear each other apart unless it was absolutely necessary.
You Tianfu was also worried. Not only was he worried that Zishu would have trouble taking revenge after the pockmarked face incident was exposed, he also had thoughts of revenge in his mind.
But after waiting for a few days, seeing that the other party had not taken any action, he felt relieved and told his brothers to pass on the orders, asking all the younger brothers to be smart and not to cause any unnecessary trouble at this time.
In the next half month, Ruan Kaiming made a preliminary plan in the north of the city based on his own power. In addition to the park, he also enclosed a large area on the side to further expand and extend it, and further supplement the lack of military fortifications in the park.
Because all the soldiers were concentrating on building fortifications, they remained in the military zone. The civil zone was completely peaceful. Both the major shops and civilians resumed their normal lives. The entertainment city was also back on track. As all the zones were opened, its reputation spread more and more widely, and even people from nearby countries came here to visit.
The former big bosses in the city also had their own arrangements. Qi Haitao had previously belonged to Wang Manxi, and now Wang Manxi had been integrated into the entertainment city, so he naturally joined in with the more than one hundred brothers from the slums.
With the huge support of the entertainment city, the brothers in the slums finally got rid of their poverty status. As long as they are obedient and hardworking, they can live a life of ease and comfort.
Xie Jiannan completely closed down the South City Bar. He originally used the bar as a platform for his drug business, but now the people in the civil area have all gone to the entertainment city, and the soldiers in the military area cannot sell drugs at will. Considering that Ruan Kaiming may turn against him at any time, after careful consideration, Xie Jiannan officially announced his retirement and left Chinatown with Zhang the bucktooth and several brothers who had shared life and death with him to find a place to enjoy a peaceful life.
But Chen Dong did not leave. He had worked hard in Chinatown for half his life. Every tree and blade of grass here was extremely familiar to him. It had truly become his second hometown. Even when he died of old age, he wanted to lie in the cemetery in Chinatown, so he lived out his old age in his house in the east of the city.
Lun Zi was by his side. He knew the current situation in the city and understood that if a dispute arose between the military and civilian areas, Ruan Mingkai would turn against him. Even if Chen Dong had announced his retirement, he would still be a target of sanctions. So he tried to persuade him for a long time, and finally the two reached a consensus and prepared to go out and travel to various countries for a while.
If the situation in the city has stabilized when they return, they can stay and continue to live there. If something unexpected happens again, such as a major disaster, they will have no choice but to give up and choose another place.
Before leaving, Lun Zi completely shut down the Chengdong Casino and handed over most of his subordinates to You Tianfu, asking them to put You Tianfu and Chen Dong on the same level, develop together, and resist foreign enemies!
At this point, the entertainment city has completely monopolized all businesses such as eating, drinking, and entertainment in Chinatown, becoming a true "exclusive giant"!
