Although the money was brought into Luo Tianfu, it took a whole day. But Li Xie was sure that the kidnappers would not live in the city, because the risk of them being discovered would be high, and there would be no escape if the matter was revealed.

So they can only live outside the city, and outside the city, there are not many places to make umbrellas, so this is really another village.

Summoned Dark, whispered a command, and then asked him to find someone. And Cao Ying's side also began to prepare silver taels, gold is a rare thing, although Cao Ying is from a family, but just out of the Cao family.

To be honest, there are not many silver taels with me, and even less gold. So if there wasn't enough gold, they had to use silver taels to make up. At this time, 1,000 taels of gold was equivalent to 10 million yuan in the 20s. That's a lot of money.

Cao Ying's family really poured out their wealth this time before they came up with this money. finally took out such a sum of money and put it at the agreed Xicheng Wharf overnight.

Cao Ying is still following in secret, but this time she has learned smarter, and she has brought a little more people than last time, and she plans to follow people and cars instead of boxes. However, Li Xie knew that Cao Ying's fanfare estimate would not have much effect.

Luo Tianfu has a population of tens of millions, and it is called a lively place during the day, in such a large flow of people, it is not easy to track a person without being discovered by him, but Cao Ying still delusionally thinks that he can pay attention to so many separated people with so many people.

If there were communication conditions for future generations, it might still be possible. But in this world where you have to write letters to even contact friends, it is probably impossible to do it.

So the situation is still the same, although people did not lose it, but everyone seemed to have pounced, wasting time and energy but still getting nothing.

However, Li Xie made a major breakthrough here, and the secret investigation found that there were not many families who made umbrellas outside Xicheng. Among these families, there are only two families that can meet the hiding conditions of the robbers. And very coincidentally, both families are in the same village.

There was nothing to say, and Dark Twenty immediately mobilized people to search the places around this village. But it turned out that unexpectedly, there was no discovery.

However, for the sake of prudence, Dark Twenty did not withdraw his manpower, but placed him near the village, and they would immediately return the slightest disturbance. The clues seem to have been broken again, and everyone's investigation seems to have reached a dead end again.

If ordinary people will definitely find another way out, for example, the robber is insatiable, after tasting the sweetness twice, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not come for the third time, and the third time he will send someone to follow him, there will definitely be clues.

Another example is to shift the direction of the investigation to the direction of the city, but there are many umbrella makers in the city. Moreover, the city is full of people, and if you mobilize people to investigate, it is difficult to guarantee that you will not be discovered by the robbers and then move your position. But it's better to investigate than to be at a dead end.

But Li Xie, with his extraordinary brain, does not feel that he has reached a dead end. On the contrary, he was very confident, and he felt that his inferences could not be wrong. He didn't think that the robbers would enter the city, nor did he think that he would be more reliable to hope for another extortion that might not be possible next time than to track it down under the current conditions.

Therefore, Li Xie personally came to the place where these two families were, and found some older and more knowledgeable people from their neighbors to find out all the information about their two families.

One of these two families lived closer to the edge of the village and rarely interacted with people. And it was just three years ago that I just moved here and settled in a new place.

Of course, Li Xie didn't think that the robbers had already considered kidnapping the young master of the Cao family three years ago, so they settled here first. In fact, it is precisely for this reason that Dark Twenty did not point the finger of suspicion at these two families. One of these two families is a local and has lived here for generations. The other one has moved from out of town, but they have been living here for three years.

And this time the young master of the Cao family was kidnapped obviously on a temporary basis, and the robbers could not have expected it three years ago, and now they want to kidnap the young master of the Cao family and settle here. However, Li Xie's mind is obviously much more than that of Dark Twenty.

The kidnapper was a repeat offender, as can be seen from the fact that he killed people cleanly and so hard to track down the money he collected. So is there another possibility, these kidnappers actually have an organization, and this organization has been around for a long time.

The kidnappers will temporarily kidnap the third young master of the Cao family, will it be because something happened in the organization, or that something happened to this group of kidnappers and they had to embezzle a large amount of funds, so when they saw Cao Zhixiang's kid full of gold and silver, he took the risk to kidnap the young master of the Cao family.

In fact, if it is explained in this way, it can also be explained, and it can explain why the kidnappers will extort again and again, and the ransom extorted is higher and higher every time.

And in a small village, even if you live on the edge of the village, but you have lived there for three years, there are very few people in the village to play this explanation?

So he made a quick decision, and Li Xie immediately ordered the family to be surrounded. Li Xie hadn't even ordered to go in and search, and the account seemed to have already known, and the matter was revealed. Four or five people rushed out of it, all armed with swords, and they were extremely fierce, and they actually killed them in a bloody way.

But it's obvious that they're messing with the wrong person, if it's an ordinary yamen, the most thin monsters in the yamen are some athletic people, but what is the Xicheng yamen? That was his Li Xie's territory, and that was where the emperor's concubine was today.

Not to mention anything else, even if Li Xie didn't let it go, the dozen or so secret guards left in the yamen are not something ordinary people can deal with. So after those ordinary trappers were broken through the encirclement, these dozen or so secret guards immediately pounced.

More than a dozen people against four or five people are too many people to bully too little, and the secret guards are all agile and "angry". Don't look at Li Xie after he came to this Luo Tianfu, so the opponents he met were all people with cultivation.

But this only shows that he is unlucky, and it does not mean that people like Qi are very common in this world. In fact, 50 to 100 people out of a population of 1,000 are already very good.

Luo Tianfu is the capital of the whole country, and the temperament here may be a little more than other places, but it is impossible for everyone to be angry. Among the four or five kidnappers, only one of them was actually "angry".

So when facing more than a dozen secret guards, he was really fed by a blow. In the blink of an eye, he was pressed to the ground by more than a dozen people, unable to move. Li Xie saw that someone resisted and knew that there must be a ghost here, and he didn't even look at the fate of these robbers, so he quickly entered this house.

After a search, nothing was found. Don't talk about Cao Zhixiang, there is not even a shadow of a child. If you want to say that it was hidden, the places where people could hide in the nearby mountains have been searched all over the place.

Seeing that it was still early, Li Xie just searched hastily and then withdrew to take care of the family, and then perfectly restored the original appearance of the family this time.

"Brother Twenty, I've worked hard for you, I want to know what they do. Why live here for three years! ”

"The others hid and showed me here, and if this is really to lose weight, then the people who went to get the ransom will definitely come back here and wait for me."

Li Xie was only able to determine that there was something wrong with this family, and until now he could not be sure that this family was the kidnappers, because there was no shadow of Cao Zhixiang, nor the 500 taels of gold that they had taken before.

And although the four or five people who were caught are now being interrogated, Li Xie feels that he can't believe all the things that have been interrogated.
