"I'm afraid this is not appropriate." Guan Heng dissuaded in a low voice: "Searching house to house is too loud. If the gangsters are panicked and jump over the wall to hurt Mrs. Linka, it will have the opposite effect."
"This" Commander Lacey's heart was burning at this time and his mind was in a mess. He had no choice but to ask Guan Heng for help: "Then do you have any good ideas?"
"Well, let me think of a solution first."
Guan Heng said to Hodley and Commander Lacey: "In Digong City, I know some friends who cannot be named. They are familiar with the dynamics of the three religions and nine streams. As long as you strictly guard the city gates and prevent the gangsters from taking Mrs. Linka out of the city,
, I can take this opportunity to ask my friends to investigate where the gangsters stay in the city."
Guan Heng paid attention to the position of the sun at this moment to calculate the time, and then said to Commander Lacey: "After half an hour, if there is no progress on my side, you can let the armored soldiers start searching the city. This is a last resort. Please
, you must give me half an hour to investigate alone."
"I understand, everything depends on you, Mr. Guan Heng." Commander Lacey heard Hodley tell a lot about his deeds in the royal capital, and believed that Guan Heng was a man of both wisdom and courage who could be trusted, so he agreed.
Guan Heng’s request.
A moment later, Guan Heng, the black-feathered crow's stronghold shoe and hat shop, told the person in charge, Jacques, what happened about Mrs. Linka's kidnapping.
"I have heard from the beggar liaison officer about Mrs. Linka being kidnapped." Yaco frowned deeply at this time. He paced back and forth in the living room twice and whispered: "The strange thing is,
Before you arrived, I had already mobilized dozens of spies in Digon City to investigate the traces of Madam and the gangsters, but now there is no response."
"Really?" Guan Hengwen was also a little surprised when he heard this: "To say that Digong City is not a big place, could it be that these guys took Mrs. Linka and disappeared like air?"
At this moment, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, and then a man ran in. He shouted anxiously: "Mr. Jacques, Elder Guan Heng, we have the latest news."
"What news?" Jacques and Guan Heng asked in unison: "Have you found any traces of Mrs. Linka or the two gangsters?"
"Uh, almost." When the guy saw the two people staring at him with four eyes, he couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. He immediately said: "Twenty minutes ago, one of our informants discovered something in an abandoned manor in the south of the city.
There were traces of two men and one woman. According to his description, the appearance of those people looked like two gangsters leading Mrs. Linka, but "
"But what?" Jacques said anxiously: "Stop hesitating and explain the matter clearly!"
The guy hesitated and said, "Well, that's the case. Our people searched the abandoned manor seven or eight times, but found no trace of those three people."
"You are all trash!" Jacques shook his head and scolded: "You can't find two men and one woman in a place as big as a hand?! They are all idiots who are just doing nothing!"
"Mr. Jacques, forget it." Guan Heng persuaded: "At least it is a clue. You have already helped a lot. Leave the rest to me."
"Mr. Guan Heng, will you be in any danger if you go alone?" Jacques said with some worry: "Otherwise, I will send a few people to go with you."
"No need, it's just a few thieves." Guan Heng said nonchalantly: "If you have too many people, you will tie your hands and feet. What you guys of Black Feather Crow are good at is gathering intelligence, not fighting and killing villains. Besides, if you encounter
If there is danger, I will notify the armored soldiers led by Lacey to help. This is for everyone's safety."
After hearing what Guan Heng said, Jacques also felt that it made sense. He slightly nodded and said: "Okay, if Mr. Guan Heng needs anything else that needs us, please inform me immediately. I, Jacques, will definitely
Go out of your way to help.”
After a while, Guan Heng, who went to the abandoned manor alone, arrived at his destination. The area here is quite large. Looking inside from the ruined walls, there are long-abandoned courtyards and dilapidated houses.
At this moment, Guan Heng thought to himself: "The people from Black Feather Crow said that the gangster took Mrs. Linka and did not come out again after entering the abandoned manor. Moreover, they searched inside and outside several times, but they could not find three people."
This is really strange and strange."
"Anyway, let's go and search first to see what's going on." Guan Heng made up his mind and walked into the largest dilapidated living room in the manor.
Looking around, Guan Heng found that the rooms here extended in all directions. There were at least seven or eight small doors leading to various rooms in this living room. At this time, Guan Heng suddenly had an idea.
"Whoa!" Guan Heng took out the metal cylinder and quickly released the golden-eyed bird. He said softly: "Big Bird, you stand on the big tree at the entrance of the abandoned manor and watch what's going on inside. If anyone wants to run out, call him immediately.
I'll stop them!"
The golden-eyed bird nodded slightly, suddenly spread its wings and fluttered its feathers, and landed on a tall tree in the distance, using the dense canopy to shield its figure.
"Now, let me search this abandoned manor carefully." Guan Heng murmured to himself: "Where should I start?"
Thinking about it, Guan Heng unknowingly took a dozen steps forward. When he lowered his head, he suddenly found some messy footprints and traces of wet mud on the floor of the living room. Not long ago, it rained here for less than an hour.
It was drizzling, and there was a shallow puddle at the entrance of the abandoned manor. The color of the wet mud was the same as that of the surrounding shallow puddle.
Guan Heng initially thought it was the footprints left by the Black Feathered Crow when they came in to search the manor. However, he squatted down and took a closer look and found that the middle part of some mud footprints was directly cut off at the cracks of the bricks, as if they had been cut by a knife.
It seems like a few inches in the middle were cut away, which looks very weird!
"I seem to understand. The floor tiles should have been lifted by someone. When the people who did it put the floor tiles down, the footprints they left were separated by a few inches." Guan Heng thought to himself: "Black Feather's Journey"
After Crow's people came, they stepped on them randomly, so they confused the previous footprints. In fact, under this floor tile"
"Bang!" Guan Heng thought of this, raised his fist and lightly knocked on the two-meter-square floor tile in front of him. He only heard a series of soft sounds of "click, click, click". This floor tile had been quietly knocked.
After being shattered, Guan Heng smiled slightly and said: "Actually, there is a secret passage under this floor tile!"
At the end of the tunnel under the abandoned manor, there was an earth cave of tens of square meters. Although it was wide, it was dark, damp, and had an extremely unpleasant smell. At this moment, a strong man swung the steel hammer in his hand and suddenly hit the ground in front of him.
Covered with clear crystal.
