There is a valley ahead, with rugged rocks and bushes. Although the shrubs are dead, they are still dense and deep. A group of thirty people hid quietly in the valley, quietly waiting for the tail behind them to enter the urn.
About a quarter of an hour later, two middle-aged men in black clothes entered the valley. Both of them walked on tiptoes, making no sound. The two entered the valley and looked around carefully.
They followed the traces left on the ground all the way to the middle of the valley. Then they frowned and stopped because the traces on the ground suddenly broke off.
The two raised their heads and looked around, then searched carefully in the valley, and finally looked at each other and shook their heads.
"I lost track." One person spread his hands to the other person and smiled bitterly.
"It's like disappearing into this valley out of thin air." Another person frowned deeply and looked around.
"It's possible that they discovered us following us and then erased all traces of their journey. It's also possible that their lair is hidden nearby, but we didn't find it. In short, this group of people is hiding their heads and tail, and their whereabouts are secretive. There must be something wrong with the murder case last night.
Maybe they were the ones who did it.”
"Let's wait until the first time comes."
"Um."
The two exchanged a few words briefly, then found a hidden location and hid, waiting for their heads to come over before discussing again.
Qi Yoyo was hiding in the dark and observing everything. Hearing the conversation between the two, he couldn't help but frown and lowered his voice and asked Dongmei, the maid next to him: "There was a murder in Beiba City last night?"
"I don't know." Dongmei shook her head slightly, but frowned slightly, showing a recalling expression, and said: "When I went to pick up the three of them this morning, I seemed to see a team of police officers blocking a street not far away.
.The three of them must have been drinking and making a lot of noise last night, which attracted the attention of the police and became the target of suspicion. They happened to bump into us when we changed our identities and went out of the city secretly, which makes it even more suspicious."
Qi Yoyo's dagger-like eyes glanced at the place where Zhang Xiaozu and the others were hiding. The three of them quickly moved their gazes to the side, pretending not to hear anything.
"Miss, would you like me to go out and explain?" Dongmei asked.
"Let's wait until the arrester comes," Qi Yoyo said.
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, three men in police uniforms found themselves in the valley. The leading man was in his forties, with a beard and a ferocious scar at the corner of his eye, giving him a fierce appearance.
"head"
When the two people hiding saw the bearded man, they immediately walked out of the hiding place and quickly walked up to the bearded man and reported: "We followed us here and got lost. That group of people either discovered us and wiped out our path.
There are traces of it, or the lair is hidden in this valley. But the fourth child and I searched for a while and couldn't find the entrance to a cave or anything like that."
The bearded man looked around and snorted: "There are stacks of strange rocks and deep bushes in this valley. If we want to find a hidden entrance to the lair here, I'm afraid we won't be able to find it even if we just rely on the strength of the five of us.
Arrive. But I feel that their home base is not here. Instead, they discovered the two of you and then erased all traces of their journey and escaped. Because judging from their walking route, their destination should be dozens of miles northwest.
Baihuang Mountain. What can you do in Baihuang Mountain that is not safer than hiding in this valley?"
"Then shall we still chase?" One person asked with a sad look on his face, looking in the direction of Baihuang Mountain.
"Chase! We must chase!" the bearded man said firmly, "This group of people hide their heads and tail and move in secrets. Even if they are not responsible for the murder in the city, they must have other ulterior secrets. Now the big-toothed dogs are invading from north to south.
They will definitely send spies into the city to inquire about the situation. I suspect that these people are Big Tooth Dog’s spies.”
"Ah!" After hearing the analysis of the bearded man, the other four people were so frightened that their faces changed. They exclaimed and asked hurriedly: "Then we have to report to the Lord of the City as soon as possible, and let the Lord of the City report to the Lord of the City to send heavy troops into Baihuang Mountain.
Encircle and suppress these big-toothed spies."
"You're absolutely right. Come on, let's go back and report it to the Lord." The bearded man agreed, then turned around and left. The other four quickly followed.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Yoyo appeared in a hurry and called out to the five bearded men.
"Who?!" The bearded man was startled by Qi Yoyo's sudden voice. He shouted and looked in the direction of the sound. At the same time, he unsheathed his sword and made a defensive posture.
The other four people also made the same move.
"Head, it's them." One person recognized that Qi Yoyo and the others who had emerged from hiding were the group they were following. He quickly reminded the bearded man. He glanced around and finally landed on Zhang Xiaozu.
On the three people, he reported to the bearded man: "First of all, it's the three of them who stayed in Ward B of Hongjun Medical Center last night. The window of Ward B is facing Cining Street, so the three of them are completely
There is time to commit the crime.”
The bearded man nodded, looked at Zhang Xiaozu and the others and shouted loudly: "I am Zhao Gang, the chief arrester of Dongcheng District, North Bacheng. There are several murder cases suspected to be related to you and the three of you. Please cooperate with the investigation and follow us."
One trip.”
"Homicide? How many more? Are you kidding me?" Zhou Jianlai asked with a glare.
"We didn't kill the person. The three of us had been drinking and eating meat in the room in the middle of the night yesterday and never left the room, so we definitely didn't kill the person." Zhang Xiaozu explained anxiously.
Zhao Gang waved his hand and said: "This arrester only expressed suspicion and did not identify you as the murderer. He just asked you to cooperate with the investigation. When your suspicion is lifted, you will naturally be free and innocent."
"I'm not afraid of slanting shadows when I'm upright. I just go once in a while. Aren't you afraid?" Niu Dawa shouted in a loud voice.
"Wait a minute!" Qi Yoyo squeezed these two words out from between her teeth through clenched teeth. She really wanted to punch Niu Dawa's head to see if he was filled with rice chaff, otherwise
How could they be so stupid? If they just wanted to go back with someone in just a few words, wouldn't their work this early in the morning have been in vain?
"Girl!" Zhao Gang looked at Qi Yoyo and yelled, "The Yamen handles matters in accordance with the law, girl, can you disobey me?"
"Don't dare." Qi Yoyo jumped up several times in succession to close the distance with Zhao Gang, stopped ten steps away, looked at Zhao Gang and said: "Captain Zhao, as far as I know, the chief arrester of Dongcheng District, North Bacheng City
My first name is Qiu, but I wonder where Qiu Ba Tou went?"
"Qiu Captou has been promoted to an official position and has been transferred to Beiqi City to serve. The girl looks familiar to me. Have you met her somewhere?" Zhao Gang asked Qi Yoyo, staring at Qi Yoyo's face in thought.
"Little girl Qi Yoyo." Qi Yoyo said with a smile.
"Qi Yoyo? Ouch" Zhao Gang muttered Qi Yoyo's name, suddenly remembered her identity, exclaimed, hurriedly knelt down on one knee towards Qi Yoyo, clasped his fists and said: "I'm a humble Zhao Gang, I've seen Qi Yoyo before.
Miss, I apologize for my short-sightedness and failure to recognize the dignity of the eldest lady. I hope that the eldest lady will not blame you for the rudeness."
"I've seen Miss Qi!" After the other four people realized who Qi Yoyo was, they hurriedly followed Zhao Gang and knelt on one knee to salute Qi Yoyo.
"Don't blame those who don't know. Get up." Qi Yoyo said.
"Thank you, Miss!" Zhao Gang thanked him and stood up, glanced at Zhang Xiaozu and the others, and asked: "Miss, are these three your friends?"
"Yes." Qi Yoyo nodded.
"Since these three are friends of the eldest lady, they must all be honorable men, and they will definitely not do anything like murder and swindling. Since it was a misunderstanding, I will go back and seize the time to find the real murderer." Zhao Gang said.
.
"Did a murder really happen in Beibacheng last night?" Qi Yoyo asked curiously.
"I don't dare to deceive the young lady. There really was a murder in Beibacheng last night, and there was more than one. Before I came, I found that ten people had died unexpectedly. I don't know if there are more victims. The ten people who died all lived in Cining.
People on the street. The murderer's method of committing the crime was extremely cruel. He broke the victim's Tianling Cap, took away the brains, and drained the victim of all his blood." Zhao Gang replied in detail.
"Are there no witnesses?" Qi Yoyo asked with a frown.
"An old man who was working on watch said that when he was passing by Cining Street, he seemed to see a monkey-like black figure standing on the roof of a victim's house. Before he could see clearly what it was, the black figure
The shadow disappeared in a flash." Zhao Gang said.
Zhou Jianlai frowned when he heard this and glanced at Zhang Xiaopou. He vaguely remembered that after he was drunk last night, he opened his eyes unconsciously and seemed to see a black shadow like a monkey squatting on Zhang Xiaopou's head.
. He remembered that he seemed to have swiped his sword finger at the black figure. The black figure seemed to be injured by his sword energy and ran away screaming.
He thought it was just a nightmare, so he didn't pay attention to it at all. But after listening to Zhao Gang's story, he suddenly thought about it, but his consciousness was too vague at the time, and he wasn't sure whether it was a dream or reality.
.
After thinking about it, Zhou Jianlai didn't say anything. Firstly, Zhang Xiaozu was safe, and secondly, if he told it in such a confused way, he was afraid that he would get punched by Qi Yoyo.
"These are troubled times right now, and such a vicious murder can easily cause panic, so we must ask Capt. Zhao to be more attentive to apprehend the real culprit as soon as possible and calm the people's emotions," Qi Yoyo said.
"It is my duty to solve crimes and arrest the murderer. I dare not act negligently. If the eldest lady has no other orders, I will go back to my humble duty." Zhao Gang said.
"Go back." Qi Yoyo said.
"I resign from my humble position." Zhao Ganggong bowed his hands and resigned, turned around and left.
After walking about ten steps, Qi Yoyo suddenly said: "Go back and investigate your murder case properly, and avoid getting involved in intrigues and miscellaneous matters."
When Zhao Gang heard this, his body trembled suddenly, he hurriedly stopped, turned around and kowtowed, saying: "I humbly obey my command!"
"Do you know what to say when you go back?" Qi Yoyo asked.
"I lost you." Zhao Gang said.
"Go." Qi Yoyo waved her hand.
Watching Zhao Gang and his four subordinates leave, the maid Dong Mei asked in confusion: "Miss, there are no flaws in his words. How did you realize that he has a different identity?"
"When did the police officers from Beiba City have so much energy to chase us all the way here? You can think about it with your toes. Someone must have provided him with information." Qi Yoyo said.
"Miss, why didn't you ask who ordered him?" Dongmei asked.
"He is just a fast-moving leader. How much does he know? It's useless to ask." Qi Yoyo said.
Zhang Xiaozu was standing not far away. He was confused and confused. He scratched his head and muttered: "What nonsense, it makes my brain hurt to hear it."
Qi Yoyo looked towards the direction of Yancheng and murmured with a wry smile: "It seems that every move in the City Lord's Mansion is closely watched. Father, eldest and second brother, you must be extremely careful and don't let others get in trouble."
It was a dirty trick. The blind uncle was urgently recruited by his father in the middle of the night, fearing that something big would happen."
