"This matter is still under investigation. We are not in a position to reveal any more details. In addition, we have also observed that there are a lot of gangsters in the town, and chaos may occur over time. Detective Yan, you must pay more attention."
After reminding them, the two brought the topic back.
Yan Ming also nodded, knowing what he was doing.
After some time.
Yan Ming stood at the entrance of the town, watching Jiang Long, Luoma and Liu Chong leave.
Leaving with them were the escorting convoy and the Thousand Guards Army.
Only Tie Shou's group of Beijing troops were still stationed by the Xiliang River.
After these two busy days, things are almost settled.
Except for Baoxiang and Dianhong, who were still imprisoned in the town jail, the other captured bandits were all taken away to their fate.
After this battle, all the bandits who caused trouble in Cuiwei Mountain were wiped out.
In the past two days, we can even see many hunters going up the mountain again.
Things finally calmed down outside the town.
The businessmen and people on the official road resumed their business in a steady stream. No one could tell that a fierce battle took place here just two nights ago...
"Shopkeeper Tong, how's the business going?"
A familiar voice sounded, and Captain Xing walked into Tongfu Inn with a knife in his hand.
"Oh, Lao Xing is here. I haven't seen you for a while. Sit down quickly."
Bai Zhantang greeted warmly.
Xing Baotou is very popular in Qixia Town. As soon as he walked in, the diners in the lobby greeted him one after another.
"It's okay, everyone is eating and drinking."
Xing Baotou waved his hands, sat at the long table, and sighed.
"Oh, I can't help it. There have been too many things in the past two days. The fights have been so fierce, but there is no way to deal with the aftermath. I finally have some time to spare."
"Captain Xing has worked hard. We are now dozens of miles away. Who doesn't know that the bandits can be eliminated this time because of your master and apprentice's contribution."
Tong Xiangyu also came out after hearing the noise and praised enthusiastically.
"That's right, I heard that you have made great achievements this time, and you may be transferred to a higher level! Hey, Lao Xing, if you enter six doors in the future, you are welcome, just give me... the name of father!"
Guo Furong patted her chest and said confidently.
"well……"
When he mentioned this, Lao Xing sighed.
"What's wrong, Lao Xing, why aren't you happy after you've made a great contribution?"
Shopkeeper Tong said, sitting next to Lao Xing.
"It's not that I'm unhappy, it's just that my mood is very complicated. To be honest, I suddenly discovered that my apprentice's martial arts skills are so good. I don't know whether I should be happy or not."
As Lao Xing spoke, he covered his forehead anxiously.
"You say you are not happy. After all, it is my apprentice who has made his mark. Are you happy? But you always feel that something is wrong. Is it that it is too useless to set off my master?"
"Hey, Lao Xing, how can you think so? We all see what you have done for our town and remember it in our hearts... Xiucai, get some paper for Lao Xing to wipe his tears."
Tong Xiangyu hurriedly comforted him.
"No need, let Dazui have a few plates of pork sausage. The bonus just issued by Louzhi County. Shopkeeper Tong, with these words of comfort from you, I feel much better..."
As Xing Baotou said this, he took Tong Xiangyu's little hand.
Seeing this, Bai Zhantang hurriedly ran over, put the tea bowl into Lao Xing's hand, and took Tong Xiangyu's hand out at the same time.
"By the way, where is Xiao Ming, and where is Captain Yan?"
"He! First he went to water the flowers in Louzhi County, and then on the way here, he met Xiaomi who was begging for food. He told him that there was an important case and asked him to go there quickly, and they ran away together."
At this point, Lao Xing shrugged.
"Hey, young people are passionate. What valuable case can that little beggar have... Hurry up!"
Everyone in Tongfu Inn laughed when they heard this, but didn't take it seriously and continued to go about their own business.
But these words were overheard by the thoughtful people in the inn lobby.
Several figures immediately left the inn.
Wan Zhenshan on the second floor was listening intently, with his hands crossed and his eyes twinkling.
At the same time, Yan Minggang and Xiaomi walked out of Qixia Town.
"It's right over there!"
Xiaomi leads the way.
Yan Ming frowned slightly, aware of those secretly watching eyes.
"Walk!"
Yan Ming directly picked up Xiaomi's belt and used Snow Stepping without Trace, speeding up suddenly.
Whoosh!
As soon as Yan Ming left, several figures chased him out and shouted to each other.
"Hurry up and follow him, be sure to keep an eye on him!"
Ahead, Yan Ming distanced himself from them in an instant.
Xiaomi was being held by a belt, which made her feel a little uncomfortable. She could only raise her head to discern the direction.
"Over there, yes, right over there, there is a ruined temple!"
Soon, Yan Ming landed on his feet and looked at the building in front of him.
This ruined temple has been in disrepair for a long time and half of it has collapsed.
The remaining half of the roof was gone and was riddled with holes.
The ruined temple is hidden behind a bush, almost covered, and outsiders passing by will not even notice it.
Normally, except for Xiaomi and other Beggar Clan disciples, no one would visit such a remote place.
Xiaomi stood behind Yan Ming and pointed at the ruined temple road.
"There is a dead man in there, and there is also a man who seems to be crazy. He has been here for several days. I look scared. Maybe he is some kind of fugitive? I thought I would ask you to come over and take a look."
Yan Ming frowned slightly, then walked into the ruined temple.
Sure enough, as Xiaomi said.
As soon as he entered, he saw a body lying on the dilapidated door panel in front of him.
There was another person lying next to him, nestling against the corpse.
The man's clothes were in tatters, his hair was unkempt, and he looked very embarrassed.
However, as Yan Ming glanced around, he noticed the two bloody holes on this man's shoulders at first glance.
Those are the traces of the iron chain passing through the lute's bones.
Generally, this method is only used to treat serious criminals in prisons.
Once an ordinary warrior is pierced through the Pipa bone, most of his martial arts cultivation will be ruined.
This person was dozing off with his head hanging down due to excessive exhaustion.
But when he heard some movement behind him, he turned around and saw Yan Ming in a police officer uniform, and he jumped up in fright.
"You, if you want to arrest me, arrest me. Don't touch the body of my Brother Ding!"
Brother Ding?
Yan Ming looked at the dead body on the ground again and already had some idea of who it was.
Yan Ming took a step forward, and the man became even more panicked.
He cared about the corpse but didn't dare to run away, so he could only summon up the courage and punch it diagonally.
It can be seen that the opponent has martial arts skills, but now he is mentally exhausted and very weak, so this punch is not threatening.
Yan Ming casually used his grasping hand and easily grabbed the opponent's wrist.
As soon as he grasped it, he actually noticed an extremely pure internal force beating inside the opponent's body.
It's just that the heat is still shallow, so he doesn't know how to use it.
"Plop..."
Yan Ming let go and the man fell to the ground.
"you……"
Before he could speak, Yan Ming had already squatted down.
First he looked at the appearance of the corpse, then turned to the man and spoke as slowly as possible.
"Don't be afraid. I'm not here to arrest you, nor am I here to harm you. I can even help you. Where are you from?"
"I...come from Jingzhou."
Seeing that Yan Ming's expression was gentle and not malicious, the man relaxed a little and said hesitantly.
"You just said that this corpse is your brother Ding. What is his name?"
The man didn't dare to answer for a moment, his eyes evasive.
"Is your name Ding Dian?"
"Ah! How do you know?"
really!
Yan Ming was completely sure.
The guy in front of me is the most miserable male protagonist in Jinshu - Di Yun!
But looking at how embarrassed and frightened he is now, he really fits this nickname.
No wonder I searched the town several times with no results and thought that the information given by Ling Tuisi was wrong.
It turned out that he drifted all the way along the Xiliang River and hid in this remote and ruined temple.
Speaking of which, so many new faces in the town recently, including Wan Zhenshan and Ling Tuisi, are all here to find him!
To be more precise, it is a clue to the secret of coveting the city.
