The agents used local materials and some large stones to pave a stone path in the stream. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Chen Lingxi was the first to cross the stream.

Li Xun and the others followed.

After crossing the stream, Li Xun looked at the surrounding situation, but his brows furrowed a little unnaturally.

Yang Zhenghui was already commanding a group of agents loudly from the side: "Hurry up, you guys scatter and search for any clues about Bailu's left." ”

The agents were about to disperse, but Li Xun suddenly spoke: "No need to search, I guess you won't find anything." ”

Yang Zhenghui was a little puzzled: "Mr. Li, why do you say that?"

On the side, Song Junxing also retracted his gaze from looking around, and said coldly: "Because someone has already arrived here one step ahead of us, there are traces of man-made destruction everywhere here." ”

Yang Zhenghui's face changed, and his voice became a little angry.

"Mr. Song, what do you mean, Hong Zhentian's team found this place before us, and then destroyed the traces left at the scene. ”

This time, Song Junxing did not speak again, and he responded with silence.

Yang Zhenghui's tone became more excited: "I can understand that the Hong Zhen team is doing this, but doesn't this mean that Pei Yunyan and these people are sitting back or conniving at Hong Zhentian to do all this? Pei Yunyan They are really too much, they are simply unprincipled, I have to report to my superiors." ”

Li Xun said lightly: "Forget it, don't report, and don't make us look like children who have been wronged and come home to complain, but, seriously, even if Pei Yunyan connived at all this, I am not surprised." ”

Yang Zhenghui was stunned for a moment, and then immediately understood what Li Xun meant.

He turned around and said to the agents with a dark face: "You all know what to do next? Some people have already put on a posture of competing with us, and we must also raise our spirits, don't let us follow the team of four and be robbed of the limelight by others, that is really a big joke!"

In addition, from now on, all the whereabouts of our team will not be allowed to be leaked, including the communication with superiors, and all the work will be taken care of by Secretary Xu. ”

"Understood!"

"We got it!"

"Mr. Li, please rest assured, we will not lose to the Hong Zhentian team. ”

At this time, the agents were also a little bitter.

The despicable behavior of Hong Zhentian's team and Pei Yunyan's ulterior motives have already aroused their anger.

After the agents' emotions calmed down a little, Yang Zhenghui asked again, "Mr. Li, what should we do next?"

Li Xun smiled: "Of course we have to chase down, some traces can be destroyed, but some other traces can't be destroyed." ”

Yang Zhenghui's eyes lit up, and he said: "I know clearly, although Bailu's trail has been destroyed, we can follow the footsteps of Hong Zhentian's team, there are so many of them, they must not be able to cover up their actions." ”

But after saying that, he thought about it and felt that it was wrong.

"No, no, Hong Zhentian, they are not stupid, Pei Yunyan is also very smart, they will not leave us such obvious flaws, if they really want to leave these flaws, maybe it is their tricks, they are deliberately leading us astray. ”

Li Xun continued to smile slightly, noncommittal.

This made Yang Zhenghui suddenly lose his confidence, and he looked at Li Xun cautiously: "Mr. Li, what kind of traces are you talking about?"

"It's not necessarily that there are traces that can't be destroyed, it's just that Hong Zhentian didn't find it. Li Xun replied with a smile,

Yang Zhenghui noticed that when he spoke, Li Xun's nose had been moving quickly and gently.

Chen Lingxi, who was on the side, suddenly realized, "Ah, Brother Li Xun, you must have smelled the smell of the white deer?"

Li Xun shook his head: "After a night, the smell of the white deer has long faded, and I can't smell it, but there is still a smell that I can still smell." ”

Xu Qianyun changed a little, and exclaimed, "Could it be the smell of that mysterious herb?"

She thought about it carefully, felt that it was more likely, and hurriedly said: "Li Xun, you are very reasonable, in Hong Zhentian's team, there must be hunters who are good at tracking animals, if it is the breath left by the white deer, it will definitely be discovered by Hong Zhentian's team, and you said that Hong Zhentian's team can't find it, it is only the smell of medicinal herbs, because the people in their team have never smelled the smell of this medicinal herb last night." ”

"Yes, it's the herb, but I also wonder that the herb should have been taken away by the white deer at that time, but why is there still a residual smell? Actually, not to mention here, since this morning, I have been able to smell the smell of herbs around the village, I thought it was the remnant of the smell of herbs last night. Li Xun thought as he spoke.

Lao Bai flashed out: "I also smell the smell of this herb, I'll go look for it." ”

His figure disappeared into the dense forest by the stream.

Li Xun was not in a hurry, so he waited there all his time.

Yang Zhenghui was a little unwilling, and commanded the agents to collect clues that Bailu might leave behind.

There is no doubt that they have nothing to gain.

In the end, Yang Zhenghui couldn't help but sigh: "Mr. Li, you are like a god." ”

Li Xun smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

After a while, Lao Bai's figure reappeared from the dense forest: "Li Xun, I have found the source of the smell of medicinal herbs." ”

"Is the herb really still there?" Li Xun asked with a frown.

"Yes, it's still there, but you never know where it will be. ”

When Lao Bai said this, everyone was a little surprised.

Lao Bai's personality does not have a pretentious preference, Lao Bai said this, which shows that this matter is indeed very unexpected by Lao Bai.

Li Xun frowned again, looked back in the direction of the Thirteen Castles, and said, "I can probably tell the direction where the smell of the herbs comes from, but it really can't be in the north of the village, right?"

Lao Bai nodded and confirmed: "Yes, the medicinal herb is on a hillside two kilometers north-west of the village, but there is no trace of Bailu nearby. ”

After Lao Bai finished speaking, everyone gasped.

The location where Bailu appeared last night was a stream two hundred meters north of the village.

Li Xun later told everyone that Bailu's purpose in choosing there was to send the smell of medicinal herbs into the village by standing upwind.

And now it seems that this herb has a great connection with the suicide of the villagers.

Could it be that Bailu was driven away last night, and he didn't give up, and finally sneaked back back?

But the careful Xu Qianyun still found some loopholes, she muttered: "That's not right, if that's the case, why hasn't any villagers in the village committed suicide or want to commit suicide since last night." ”

When everyone heard this, they thought about it, and they also felt that it made sense.

Wang Ruyi touched his head and speculated: "Could it be that Bailu has just come back from lurking and put the herbs there, and it hasn't worked yet?"

Xue Erliu immediately retorted: "Impossible, Uncle Li just said that he can smell the smell of herbs in the morning, so he must have been there since last night." ”

Wang Ruyi asked rhetorically: "Then how do you explain this matter?"

Xue Erliu was stunned for a moment, and didn't know how to answer, so he could only say nonsense: "Maybe...... Perhaps, when Bailu escaped last night, he left this herb behind. ”

Xue Erliu's answer was obviously unconvincing.

Li Xun frowned and looked at Lao Bai: "Since you found medicinal herbs, why didn't you bring them back?"

Lao Bai shook his head solemnly: "I don't dare, you will know if you have seen it." ”

Lao Bai's words suddenly reminded everyone of a terrible thing.

In any case, this white deer and medicinal herbs have now been defined as the culprits of the villagers' suicides, and it is no wonder that Lao Bai did not dare to bring the medicinal herbs back.

Isn't it a scourge to bring it back?

Li Xun replied without hesitation: "Okay, then I'll go there with you to have a look, and the rest of you are waiting for us here." ”

Li Xun's words were addressed to everyone present.

To be honest, he didn't dare to let everyone follow him on the risk.

But as soon as Li Xun's words came out, several voices sounded almost at the same time.

"Don't!"

"Don't go!"

"No way!"
