I mingled through the streets, people coming and going, all the time.

As far as the eye can see, in the morning in Nanhua Town, as the sky gets brighter, the streets are also lively.

In addition to surveying the people passing by, my gaze wandered from time to time.

Of course, also pay attention to the shops that pass by on both sides of the street.

I counted the shops I passed along the way.

Along the way, there are mountain goods shops, tea shops, ready-to-wear shops, and snack bars.

When I saw the most crowded places, I had in mind the names of some of the shops I could see when I came out of the inn.

Not only did I think I might come to visit in the future, but I also lacked some things, so I could prepare as much as I could in order to go to the Northland.

Other than that, I thought it was a convenient way to identify the inn's location.

I remember that I didn't seem to use this trick very often, but as I walked around the world more often, I realized that it was still possible.

Now that I think about it, it's because of the innkeeper's actions.

Even the innkeeper could tell that I didn't know the way, and I thought it would be better to remember the route I was going to take in a better way.

After all, I'm the first time I've come back to Nanhua Town!

Anyway, as long as my mind turns to a place of doubt, I will be suspicious, where did he see it?

I don't seem to have revealed much about myself, let alone the details.

Could it be that he saw more guests at the inn and observed more? So he's developed the ability to deduce the personality of a random guest from his looks or mannerisms?

Why does it sound so mysterious?

If that's the case, it seems a bit overkill for the inn guy to stay in such a place.

I remembered the king of Sealand for a second. I thought that the army was the place for such talents.

At present, the eighth and ninth places where Wang Shi is stationed will be in the mountains southwest of Nanhua Town.

I was worried in my heart, and my steps were a little heavy for a moment, and I couldn't help but think far away when I stood on the lively street

After knocking on the door for a while, the room was still quiet, and Ah Lai increased the strength of his hands. The guests living in the next room were attracted to look out.

Seeing two big men standing in the corridor with serious expressions, the heads next door probed as if they were burned and quickly retracted.

But when they were outside and listened intently, both of them had listened close to the door. There wasn't even a single movement in the house.

Something is wrong!

The two guards stood in the doorway and glanced at each other, both with bewilderment in their eyes.

Eventually, Alai reached some kind of tacit agreement with his companion, and he mustered up the courage to push the door. This time, the companion did not come up to rent.

Anyway, it was Ah Lai who pushed the door. The companion said in his heart that the third young master would stare at the stuffy gourd, and it had no direct relationship with him.

What they didn't expect was that the door was pushed open in a flash.

The room is not big, and when you look up, it is empty, and there are still people in it! And it feels like an empty room that is uninhabited.

What does that mean? Means that the people in the house have been gone for a while!

Suddenly, the two guards standing at the door were stunned!

Ah Lai and his companion looked at each other again, and each saw the same expression in the other's eyes.

What's the situation?

Didn't I almost make an unpleasant mess last night because of the things I was tracking, how could I wake up and find no one?

The point is that the two of them are obviously staying in the next room.

Ah Lai was not at ease. The companion understood his concerns, and for the sake of safety. There was even a suggestion that one watch the first half of the night and the other watch the second half of the night.

In fact, they do the same.

The two of them each took on the responsibility of being on duty for half the night, just because they were worried that their third young master would take action on a whim in the middle of the night.

The responsibility of the guard, the most important task is always to protect the safety of their masters, and the key is to get out of the city safely and return to Suzhou safely!

Now, after keeping watch all night and not hearing any movement, but in the morning I found that the third young master was gone, how can this be explained?

My companion stood there stunned, still a little unresponsive.

However, the stuffy gourd Ah Lai came back to his senses first, he looked at his companion, stretched out his hand and gently pushed him and said, "The third young master may have gone to the bottom." “

This may not be convincing, but it is useful to ease the current atmosphere of anxiety, not to mention that you need to confirm it! "Yes!" The companion was also considered to have come back to his senses at this time, he was a little frightened for a moment just now, and when he came back to his senses and thought about it, his eyes wandered away, and he felt a little more apprehensive in his heart.

Alai was unaware of his companion's fleeting expression.

His gaze did not linger on his companion's face, but he heard this one respond to him, and did not doubt him.

Ah Lai turned around, stepped out of the door, and went directly downstairs to take a look.

The inn in Nanhua Town, where he used to come when he was on a mission.

The layout of the inns here is similar, generally the upper floor is the living room, and the lower lobby is equivalent to a restaurant.

Guests staying at the hotel, as well as people passing by outside, will come to the inn to eat.

The former is the most numerous, and the latter is a little less.

As for the people in Nanhua Town, most of them go to the time-honored restaurants in the town, and they generally do not come to the inn to eat.

The lobby of the inn is most frequented by not locals.

The companion stood at the door for a while, and saw that Ah Lai had gone down from the side of the stairs, and the figure was gone, so he followed slowly.

There are all the tables down there.

At this time, many people gathered at the table for breakfast, and the sound of swallowing and chewing and talking could be heard, and the hall was a little noisy.

However, as long as you sweep your eyes, you will find that the third young master of the Yuwen family is not among them at all.

People are not here!

Ah Lai pursed his lips, and after looking around, he didn't get anything, and his heart suddenly sank.

Before he came to Nanhua Town. No, when he was still in the east house of the Yuwen family in Suzhou, he heard what Yuan Bao said, and he had a plan in his heart.

Ah Lai knew that this time he would follow the third young master out to do something. Not a good errand.

They didn't know how deep the relationship between the third young master and that Lin Gongzi was, but they vaguely heard some rumors in the courtyard of Yuwen's house.

However, the third young master placed that Lin Gongzi in the Qingyin Pavilion where he lived since he was a child, and even sent himself to others as a guard and acted as a coachman when he traveled, Ah Lai understood the extent to which the other party was valued!

Obviously, isn't it?

Such a person ran away without saying goodbye. Everyone can imagine how bad the third young master's mood will be, it is simply something that can be imagined with his toes.

Can it be a good thing to come out with him to track Lin Gongzi's traces?

Ah Lai knew that if he couldn't find anyone. The third young master will definitely be on fire.

He was prepared in his heart, but he didn't expect that the third young master would also disappear in Nanhua Town, and Ah Lai didn't know what the situation was, but it was a fact that people lost it!

Ah Lai stood there and thought for a moment. His gaze turned to his companion.

The companions who followed him were stared at by him. The apprehension that had just been suppressed came to my heart again.

He raised his head and looked at Ah Lai and pretended to be calm: "What are you staring at me for, what's wrong?" “

Ah Lai thought for a moment and gestured to him.

The lobby of the inn is not a good place to talk, and if you have any questions, you have to find another place to talk!

The two men walked through the lobby on the ground floor of the inn to the backyard.

The backyard of the inn is where the kitchen and the people in the inn live, and everyone has something to do here, but it seems quieter than in the courtyard.

Of course, when two people stand there, they can still hear the sound in the kitchen.

Early risers are required to eat. There were a lot of people staying last night, and the people in the big kitchen are too busy to do things now. They didn't have time to pay attention to the guests who stayed in the hotel and went to the courtyard to gossip about it.

Ah Lai stood still, turned his head to look at his companion, and asked in a deep voice, "You tell me the truth." “

His companion's heart tightened, and he glanced at him quickly.

Ah Lai said decisively: "I watched the first half of the night yesterday, and I am sure that I definitely didn't hear the sound of the third young master going out!" “

The implication is that most of the problem lies with the companion.

When the companion heard this, his face flushed, but his eyes turned away instantly, but he thought about it and felt that it was wrong, so he immediately moved back to Shang Alai and explained: "Where will I know, the next door is obviously very quiet, okay!" "You're lying." Ah Lai said in a flat tone, "Your heart is empty. "The third young master left when you were on duty, I'm pretty sure." "Why! Hey, I'm talking about you! The companion shouted angrily, and his face turned red.

His gaze at Shang Alai was defeated in one second, two seconds, and three seconds!

There's no way, it's a bad feeling to look at Ah Lai, and my companion knows.

He said helplessly to Ah Lai, "I just squinted for a while." "Hey, you know, I was so tired from the road yesterday, I went to the mountain temple for a while, crossed the bridge for a while, and went around in a circle when I got to the town."

The companion continued to Ah Lai with a bitter face: "I fell asleep in the middle of the night and dreamed, and I was woken up by you again. ”

"Haven't I found a clue yet?" The companion said, "I just think that I can only find it in the town after dawn, and it doesn't matter so much for the time being." ”

"That Lin Gongzi didn't run just now, he needs to chase while the iron is hot, everyone has been running for a while!"

The companion complained, and Ah Lai looked at him expressionlessly, his eyes focused on his face.

"Don't stare at me like that, it's scary!"

The companion scratched his scalp and said, "I just slept for a while when I thought about it, and there was no movement in the first half of the night, wasn't that what you guarded?" ”

He glanced at the corridor upstairs, and saw that a guest pushed open the door and came out, so he quickly lowered his voice and said, "Ah Lai, I estimate that the third young master will at least wait until dawn to act." ”

"I kid you not, I really just squinted for a while, but only a quarter of an hour."

The companion said several words in succession, and with a glance, he saw that Alai's hand hanging by his side clenched his fist and put it down.

He didn't open his head, a little afraid to look at Ah Lai!

The latter sighed, and after a long while, Ah Lai said loudly: "Go up and take a look first, I didn't look carefully before, and look for any clues left in the room." ”

It's useless to blame, anyway, the third young master has already walked away!

Ah Lai knew in his heart that whether his companion lied or as he told him, it was just a quarter of an hour, in short, the third young master was no longer in the inn!

Ah Lai's heart was a little confused, and he walked upstairs first.

The companion followed him one step after him, and asked in a low voice: "Our third young master's kung fu, are you still worried that someone will kidnap him?" “

Ah Lai looked at him speechlessly, shook his head and didn't speak.

The two of them went straight to the room where the third young master had lived, and looked at the cold room that had left at least half of the night.

After a round of careful searching, I found a note under the pillow.

Ah Lai picked up the note, unfolded it, and looked at it, standing there silent.

"Hey, what did the third young master say?"

The companion leaned over, stood beside Ah Lai and looked at it, his face turned pale and he couldn't help but gasp.

He paused before turning to Ah Lai: "You, you are in charge." ”

The companion thinks that the backbone of the next task is the stuffy gourd next to him.

He realized that he had poked a big or small basket, and he was not qualified to make a decision!

In addition to this, there is another meaning.

Compared with the two of them, whether it is the time to go to Yuwen's house - compared with seniority, or the kung fu of the two people - compared with strength, Ah Lai is better!

Seeing that Ah Lai didn't say a word, his companion couldn't help stepping forward and added: "We all know the words of the third young master, and we can't fake it." ”

He said in a cautious tone: "Since that's the case, let's just do what he wants." "Go back to Suzhou first, what's the problem," the companion paused, and continued, "Give this note to the Fu Steward, and he will know at a glance that it is the handwriting of the third young master." “

Ah Lai glanced at him coldly, pursed his lips and remained silent.

The companion sighed and moved away, walked to the windowsill and looked back at him, "Forget it, you decide." ”

It may be that the stuffy gourd needs some time to think about it, and his companion walks to the table next to him, moves his chair and sits down to wait.

Ah Lai is indeed thinking in his mind at this time, according to the consistent personality of his third young master, the means of playing cards out of common sense have always been endless, in fact, it is not uncommon for the third young master to leave suddenly in the middle of the night.

He was depressed and depressed that his partner was too weak!

Even if it's ingots guarding in the middle of the night, it's more attentive than this guy!

The matter has already come out, and it is useless to be melancholy, Ah Lai thought about it again, and it was better to follow the original idea.

The two of them walked around the streets of Nanhua Town, going to the place they had mentioned to their companions, the place that Lin Gongzi liked when he was walking around Suzhou City.

What others can think of, the third young master must also think of, and he must know more about that Lin Gongzi.

The guards have a better chance of meeting him in those places! (To be continued.) )
