Because of the heavy wind and snow, every house in the town has its doors closed. On both sides of the road are two rows of two-story doorways, and behind the doorhouses, there are families with small courtyards.
Households, typical Northeast village style.
However, although this place is called Ling'an Town, its scale is more like a small village, and the entire town seems to have less than 300 households.
Moreover, many houses are dark without any lights, with mottled walls and swaying broken windows, making them look somewhat dilapidated.
"Look at the lights, they all seem to be candlelight. There must be a power outage!"
Tan Kai glanced at the dimly lit doors and residents on both sides of the street, took out the flashlight he carried with him, and shone it around.
"With such a heavy snowstorm, it would be strange if there is no power outage!"
Bairentu said in a deep voice, and while speaking, he also took out a flashlight and swept it towards the door heads on the surrounding streets. Then with a look on his face, he said to Lin Yu, "Sir, there is a small hotel ahead. We can go in there and inquire about it.
Let’s get something to eat by the way!”
"good!"
Lin Yu nodded and looked in the direction of the door. He saw that the small hotel looked a little shabby, but fortunately it was sheltered from the wind and snow, and it also had cooking and drinks. They had been walking for so long, and they were really hungry.
Then they walked towards the hotel through knee-deep snow.
The door of the hotel was closed tightly, and Bairentu smashed the glass door with his fist.
"Who is it? What did you do?!"
Soon a panicked shout came from inside the house, and then a flash of fire was seen in the dark hall.
“Staying in the hotel!”
Bairentu said coldly.
"Staying in the hotel?!"
The people in the house were obviously surprised and shouted, "Where did you get such a heavy snowstorm?!"
There was a hint of defensiveness in his voice, as if he was a little frightened.
After all, there was such a heavy snowstorm outside, and it was getting dark at this time. No one was sure of the sudden appearance of such a large group of people.
Just as Bairentu was about to speak, Lin Yu waved his hand to interrupt him, and shouted towards the door, "Fellow, don't be afraid, we are good people, from the police, and came up the mountain to handle the case!"
"That's right, we came up the mountain to handle the case. Look, fellow fellow, we have documents!"
Tan Kai hurriedly echoed. As he spoke, he took out the ID he carried with him and pressed it on the glass door.
Although local people can understand the Military Aircraft Department's ID at all, everyone does not recognize the five-pointed logo on it.
After he said this, the light in the room quickly approached, and then he saw a figure coming up to the door, carefully looking at the ID in Tan Kai's hand, and then he took a deep breath and said, "It turns out to be comrade police officer.
, I was shocked, it was so windy and snowy, and it was a bit scary to suddenly have such a large group of people!"
As he spoke, the figure inside the house opened the door and pushed it open hard. The snow outside the door instantly poured into the house.
"Fellow, I'm sorry for bothering you!"
Lin Yu rushed to the figure who opened the door and said with a smile. The person who opened the door was a man in his thirties, tall, with a stubble, looking a bit rough, and he spoke with a Northeastern flavor.
"You're welcome, we just open a store and do business!"
The bearded man smiled and said, "But I don't think there will be people going up the mountain in this kind of weather. Come in quickly!"
As he said this, he let Lin Yu and others in.
After Bairentu waited for everyone to enter the house, he glanced at both sides of the street, turned around, entered the house, and closed the door.
"I'm sorry, our power goes out when there is a heavy snowfall, so we can only light candles!"
As he spoke, the bearded man handed Lin Yu and others a pack of candles, motioned to Lin Yu and others to sit wherever they wanted, then turned and shouted upstairs, "Daughter-in-law, there are guests, come down and cook!"
Lin Yu and others found a larger table in the hall to sit down, ordered a few dishes, and then gathered in a group with hot water. The nerves that had been tense relaxed at this time.
"Sir, I just looked at the streets on both sides, and there seems to be no trace of anyone coming here!"
Bairentu said in a deep voice, "And every household is very quiet. If Ling Xiao's people had arrived here long ago, they would definitely take action when they saw us. When we were outside just now, it was very suitable for an ambush! Didn't they find this place?
ah?"
"Ling Xiao's people have captured the old forest ranger, they will definitely find this place!"
Tan Kai said with a solemn expression, "I think they have already been here, found out some news, and then left again!"
"Yes, it's possible!"
Di Tu raccoon on the side nodded hurriedly and said, "My father only met people from Xuanwu Xiang here, but he didn't say that people from Xuanwu Xiang live in this small town!"
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly when he heard this, nodded, and said, "Even if they don't live in this town, they must live near it!"
Ji Xun's face suddenly turned pale and he said urgently, "So, might Ling Xiao's people have grasped the exact location of the Xuanwu Elephant and tracked it down?"
