Chapter 1723: Listening to the News
Because of the heavy wind and snow, the doors of the houses in the whole town are closed, and on both sides of the road are two rows of two-storey doors, and behind the doormen, there are households with small courtyards, typical of the northeast village and town style.
However, although it is called Ling'an Town, it is more like a small village, and the whole town looks less than 300 households.
Moreover, many of the houses are pitch black without the slightest light, the walls are mottled, and the broken windows are swaying, which looks a little dilapidated.
"Look at this light, it seems to be all candlelight, it should be a power outage!"
Tan Kai glanced at the doors and residents on both sides of the street with dim lights, and took out the flashlight he carried with him, shining it around.
"With such a big wind and snow, it's strange that the power doesn't stop!"
Bairen Tu said in a deep voice, took out a flashlight as he spoke, swept it towards the doors on the surrounding streets, and then his expression moved, and he said to Lin Yu, "Sir, there is a small hotel in front, we can go in there and inquire, and by the way, we can eat something!"
"Good!"
Lin Yu nodded, looked at the direction of the door, and saw that this small hotel looked a little dilapidated, but fortunately, it could protect itself from the wind and snow, and it was also marked with stir-fried vegetables and wine, they had been walking for so long, they were really a little hungry.
Then they walked through knee-deep snow towards the hotel.
I saw that the door of the hotel was closed, and Bai Rentu smashed the glass door with his fist.
"Who?!"
Soon there was a panicked cry from inside the room, followed by a small fire flickering in the dark hall.
"Staying at the hotel!"
Bairen Tu said coldly.
"Staying in the hotel?!"
The people in the room were obviously a little surprised, and shouted, "Where did you come from 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 big wind and snow outside, and it was dark at this time, and such a large group of people suddenly appeared, and no one could feel the bottom of their hearts.
As soon as Bairen Tu was about to speak, Lin Yu waved his hand to interrupt him, and shouted loudly towards the door, "Fellow, don't be afraid, we are good people, we are from the police, and we have come up the mountain to handle the case!"
"Yes, yes, we are going up the mountain to handle the case, fellow, you see, we have documents!"
Tan Kai hurriedly agreed, and as he spoke, he took out the documents he was carrying and pressed them against the glass door.
Although the local people can understand the documents of the Military Aircraft Department at all, no one 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 in the door come up, and took a closer look at the document in Tan Kai's hand, then he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "It turned out to be a comrade police officer, give me a surprise, such a strong wind and snow, and suddenly such a large group of people, it's really a bit scary!"
As he spoke, the figure inside the house opened the door and pushed it open hard, and the snow outside the door instantly poured into the house.
"Fellow, I'm sorry, I'm bothering you!"
Lin Yu rushed to open the door with a smile, only to see that the person who opened the door was a man in his thirties, tall, with stubble, looking a little rough, and his mouth was full of Northeast flavor when he spoke.
"You're welcome, we were originally here to open a store to do business!"
The stubble man smiled and said, "But I didn't think about this kind of day, there can still be people going up the mountain, come in!"
As he spoke, he let Lin Yu and the others in.
After everyone had entered the house, he glanced at both sides of the street, turned around and entered the house, and closed the door.
"I'm sorry, but the power will be cut off after the heavy snow, so we can only light candles!"
The stubble man said and handed Lin Yu and the others a pack of candles, motioned for Lin Yu and the others to sit casually, and then turned his head and shouted upstairs, "Daughter-in-law, guests are here, hurry down and cook!"
Lin Yu and the others found a larger table in the hall and sat down, ordered a few dishes casually, and then held the hot water in a ball, and the nerves that had been tense were relaxed at this time.
"Sir, I just looked at the streets on both sides, and it seems that no one has ever come!"
Bairen Tu said in a deep voice, "And every household is also very quiet, if Ling Xiao's people had already arrived here, they would definitely do it when they saw us, when we were outside just now, it was very suitable for ambush! Didn't they find here?"
"Ling Xiao's people have already captured the old forest ranger, they will definitely find here!"
Tan Kai said with a solemn face, "I think they have already been here, and then they heard something, and then left!"
"Yes, it's possible!"
The citoraccoon dog on the side hurriedly nodded and said, "My father has only met people from basalt elephants here, but he didn't say that people from basalt elephants live in this town!"
Lin Yu's expression couldn't help but change slightly when he heard this, nodded his head, and said, "Even if they don't live in this town, they must live near the town!"
Ji Xun's face turned pale suddenly, and he said urgently, "So, Ling Xiao's people, will they have already grasped the exact location of the basalt elephant and traced the past!"
