The two were tied with ropes by the villagers and dragged to the old man's room. "Village Chief, these two people should be good at martial arts, and I know one of them, he is extremely good, I advise you not to do this. ”

The village chief nodded thoughtfully and replied. "Isn't that group of people already recruited? It's a guy named Ah Gou, then this group of people is innocent, I just want to apologize to them, if you don't feel at ease, you can wait with me." ”

Although the head of the police listened to the village chief, he didn't dare to ask him to be here, so he casually excused himself.

The door was shut, and there were only three people in the room. Ye Zhen and the two were already unconscious, tied together, and fell to the ground.

As for him, although he has gray hair, his eyesight is very good, he doesn't need reading glasses, and he can see the book in front of him clearly from a distance of dozens of centimeters. It was already an old, yellowed book.

He never got up or fell asleep until dawn.

Page by page, sometimes it takes more than ten minutes to read a page. It was Ye Zhen who woke up first, in fact, Ye Zhen's injury was very light, but he spent too much True Qi last night, and his self-healing ability was reduced all of a sudden.

Ye Zhen looked around, and the person on the other side was actually his former friend, Fang Shuo.

"Fang Shuo, why are you?" Ye Zhen couldn't believe what he saw in his eyes at all, why was it Fang Shuo who was his last night? This guy doesn't know how long he hasn't contacted Ye Zhen.

Ye Zhen's voice was particularly loud in this quiet room. The village chief turned his head to look, the corners of his mouth rose mysteriously, and said. "Are you awake? How was your rest last night?"

Ye Zhen's gaze moved from Fang Shuo to the village chief, and he didn't seem to want to do anything. After all, Ye Zhen was also present last night, and the murderer has been found, so he shouldn't want to do anything, right?

He replied, "Not bad, but ...... What do you mean by that?"

He stood up, took three steps and made two steps, walked up to Ye Zhen, untied the rope, and then stretched out his wrinkled hand to help Ye Zhen up.

"Believe me, in fact, there are still good people in this world, and I can help you catch the murderer. Ye Zhen said firmly, now that the murderer knows who it is, the village chief should believe in Ye Zhen a little, and when the murderer is caught, it is estimated that this trust will be in hand.

The village chief laughed without hesitation, still laughing at the sky. "Hahaha...... I'm not mistaken, you're the person I need, how many days do you need?"

This is a tricky question, twenty-four hours, forty-eight hours, more than two days? Ye Zhen can't guarantee an accurate time, but how can the murderer go? Go to the desert? Is he a fool?

No, he was just swallowed up by desire. He will definitely stay in the neighborhood and then take the opportunity to escape from the village and return to the big city.

This is not what Ye Zhenhao said, if he doesn't do it, then the trust will be gone.

After thinking for a few seconds, Ye Zhen made a decision. "Say, give me time, I think, maybe it can be shorter. ”

He laughed again, said a few interesting things, touched his beard, pulled out a few packs of old cigarettes and a pipe from a drawer, and said. "Is three days enough?"

Three days Ye Zhen felt that it was too much, and it was impossible for him to stay in the desert area for so long, maybe he was not far from Ye Zhen and the others.

He certainly wouldn't have any food with him, three days in the desert would be enough for him to die twice. Ye Zhen shortened the time. "Two days, forty-eight hours, believe me. ”

He nodded contentedly, emphasizing. "Actually, you don't have to be anxious, I don't care for a few days, I can find it, I believe you. ”

Since the conversation was very pleasant, it was impossible for him to imprison Ye Zhen, so Ye Zhen turned to ask if he could release Fang Shuo together.

"No, no, no, don't worry. What if you're a bunch? Or how are you sneaky? Well, you give your companions a signal, they're coming, and you can act. ”

Ye Zhen is not a sinister villain, otherwise now his hands have been loosened and moved, he is an ordinary person, and he also said that everyone here has been abolished martial arts, and what he can do is just a little kung fu, and there is no energy.

When he really started, I don't know how long he can last. But what Ye Zhen needs is the trust of the people in this village and town, as the saying goes, capture the thief first and capture the king, the same as this reason, as long as the village chief trusts Ye Zhen and others, and then make a notice, who doesn't believe it?

And Ye Zhen didn't believe what he would do, he just wanted to catch someone as soon as possible, and in case Ye Zhen ran away.

Ye Zhen agreed, but how to call back a few people is a problem. But he's all ready, Dao. "I'm not in a hurry, I'm in a hurry, I'm prepared. Your friend stays here, you go back alone, come back with all your friends, and I'll be waiting for you here. ”

This should be the only one in the entire village with a second floor. And there is a small balcony, just enough to see the road below, when Ye Zhen comes back, he can see it from a hundred meters away.

"Okay. Ye Zhen agreed.

"I can tell you in advance, we are a normal gentleman's deal, I won't force you, you can not do things for me, then you just wait here, my police find the murderer, you can go, but ......"

He paused, picked up the water on the table and took a sip before continuing slowly. "But if you agree, I hope you can really do it. ”

Ye Zhen really wanted to scold him, this old man relied on someone in his hands to open any conditions, and he didn't know if there was one. Ye Zhen will bring everyone later, and there is still a talk of running away?

At least Ye Zhen is not such a person.

Before Fang Shuo woke up, Ye Zhen left. Ye Zhen hurried back, but fortunately, no one chased after him this time, so Ye Zhen wanted to leave unhurriedly.

After the last old house, Ye Zhen came out. The two or three people who followed didn't dare to continue to follow, but they still told Ye Zhen to come back quickly and threatened him. "Your friend is still with me. ”

Ye Zhen ran over quickly, and soon found Kao and a few others.

They seemed to be sleeping very dead, and when Ye Zhen passed, the four of them were still lying down. Ye Zhen kicked them a few times, and they reacted.

"Boss, what are you doing? You don't take a break in the morning...... Ahem...... my throat is so dry. "It's normal to have a dry throat and thirst in this desert, and all of a sudden it's the same when you talk loudly.

"Ye, tell me what's going on. Is there something going on?" said one of Kao's apprentices.

Kao wanted to say something, but he coughed twice and held it back, and his apprentice on the other side asked, so he didn't bother to repeat.

Ye Zhen told everything about last night, and everyone expressed disbelief and felt that Ye Zhen was lying and joking.

"Don't be funny, boss. You don't get up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet by yourself and then act alone, it's not like your personality, no kidding, rest. "Song Hu was too lazy to take care of Ye Zhen, and he didn't take it seriously from beginning to end.

This made Ye Zhen very unhappy, but he didn't expect the two apprentices who took the test to suddenly agree.

Fortunately, I don't like to joke about the exam. "Okay, I believe it's true, everyone get up quickly and follow Ye Zhen. ”

Kao's prestige here is not the highest, and it is lower than Ye Zhen. As soon as he said this, after he stood up, his two apprentices immediately stood up, and everyone stood up at this time, and Song Hu had no reason to lie down.

Ye Zhen repeated a few important words and advised. "Believe me, I will definitely ask to bring out two people when the time comes, and I should bring out Song Hu and Brother Kao, of course, if I can. ”

When I entered the villages and towns, many people immediately came up, and they grabbed it tightly. Kao hurriedly shouted. "No one is allowed to resist!

I don't know, I think the exam is evil, how can I help the other side speak.

Finally, everyone was pressed into the old man's house and sent all the way to the second floor. "Alright, all of you go out, the door is closed. ”

The old man waved his hand lightly, looking indifferent. At this time, the whole room was Ye Zhen's person, and he was the only one, I have to say that Ye Zhen admired his courage.

He asked everyone to sit down casually, and when he found that there was not enough space, he sat down on the floor first, and the rest of the people sat down with him.

"The crystal sapphire in our village is missing, and someone stole it. But I know who it is, not all of you, so don't worry, I didn't send anyone, so we're being honest. ”

Fang Shuo didn't know if he didn't wake up or if he woke up and fell asleep, but the chance of waking up and falling asleep was not very high, because no one could fall asleep under such circumstances.

The person who is talking now is Ye Zhen, and the rest of the people are waiting for Ye Zhen to answer. "Naturally, we were open and honest with each other. Well, we can now count down to twenty-four hours, but I only have one condition, take two people with me. ”

He counted the number of people, plus Ye Zhen, a total of six people. If three are taken away by Ye Zhen, it will be half.

The six people marked on it at the beginning of the examination, Ye Zhen didn't know if the hidden mysterious person would be Fang Shuo. The remote place here is scarce, it's not that he is the sixth person, Ye Zhen really can't think of any other reason.

What's more, Fang Shuo has always been in Fuzhou, if it weren't for this incident, how could he suddenly come to City A? and then come north here, and even enter the desert now.

"It's okay to take two away, but don't say I don't give you face, one is fine. He had hesitated for a long time to give the answer.

To be honest, Ye Zhen has no other choice now, if he wants to escape, it is actually not difficult, but it is useless to escape, and you will not be trusted by the people in this village and town.

One is enough, and if there is one, Ye Zhen will take Song Hu away.

If there are two Ye Zhen, they will choose to take the test. Although the examination will say this, Ye Zhen is more willing to cooperate with Song Hu, after all, the two have known each other for so long, and there is a tacit understanding.

"Okay. One is one, I want him. Ye Zhen pointed at Song Hu.

The village chief said yes, then glanced at the clock. I don't know when the clock is, it's shabby.

The clock showed that it was almost twelve o'clock. "Tomorrow at twelve o'clock, if you can, I will be rewarded, if you can't, I will trouble you to wait until this matter is completely settled before leaving. ”

This is what Ye Zhen thinks is the most OK. Ye Zhen believes that he can complete it in 24 hours, and he must complete it in 24 hours. If it is not completed by twelve o'clock tomorrow, Ye Zhen will lose their trust.

Kao kept looking at Ye Zhen, didn't say anything, and couldn't see what he was expressing in his eyes. Maybe he knew that Ye Zhen would choose Song Hu first and not him, even if he knew the language here.

Song Hu didn't give Ye Zhen any hints, because he knew that Ye Zhen would choose him.
