With Lin Jiangbei's order, the police of the service office scattered around quickly gathered. Lin Jiangbei selected five of them to follow him, and the rest were divided into four teams by Ye Luping, each with a member of the Dragon Club who knew Hou Changbin, and rushed towards the four targets determined by Lin Jiangbei.

As for Zuo Shunhe, he led the police officers of the Hubin Branch Station to launch a large-scale investigation around the headquarters of the Yongjin Jilong Club to find Hou Changbin's traces.

Before leaving, all police officers were asked to keep in mind the physical characteristics of Hou Changbin as described by Liu Tianfang:

He has a rectangular face, flat head, narrow eyes, sparse eyebrows, is one meter tall and seventy-five, has a strong physique, and has a Dongyang accent, and wears the uniform of a fire inspector of the Yongjin Dragon Society. The uniform is characterized by a hat made of brass with the word "Cha" written on it in red lacquer, and a blue cloth vest with a white round cloth in the center of the front and back of the vest, on which are written the words "Yongjinji".

Lin Jiangbei took five policemen, led the way by Liu Tianfang, and walked all the way, and soon arrived at Hou Changbin in Yongjinmen Straight Street.

As soon as he turned the corner, Liu Tianfang pointed to a house in the distance and told Lin Jiangbei that this was Hou Changbin's residence.

"That's where Hou Changbin lives?"

Lin Jiangbei looked in the direction of Liu Tianfang's finger, but couldn't help but be stunned. It was a single-door house facing the street, with blue bricks, black tiles and white walls, which looked quite obvious even in a prosperous area like Yongjinmen Straight Street.

The rent of such a house is not cheap!

Hou Changbin is so poor that he has to pick up cigarette butts and smoke, and he is willing to spend money to rent such a house?

Liu Tianfang saw Lin Jiangbei's doubts, and hurriedly explained: "There was a 'girl' from Huapailou who lived there last year, and was later killed by a guest because of a dispute over prostitution, so it became a murderous house, and no one dared to rent it. I told Hou Changbin all these situations, but he didn't shy away from this, saying that the rent here was cheap, and it was convenient for a single family to enter and exit, so he rented it. ”

Lin Jiangbei nodded, and several people walked quickly to the house, but they were stunned again. I saw that the iron buckle on the door was tightly closed, and a large iron lock like a weighing stone hung on it.

Could it be that Hou Changbin didn't dare to go back to his residence and fled directly?

At this moment, an old man walked out of the courtyard next to him on crutches, and when he saw Liu Tianfang standing here, he couldn't help but smile and greeted: "Yo, President Liu, why are you here?" You came here to find Hou Changbin, right? I just saw him go out! ”

"What? He's out? Liu Tianfang hurriedly asked, "Uncle Xu, where did you see him?" How long have you been out? ”

"I guess it's going to take more than a quarter of an hour!" Uncle Xu pointed to the east with his crutches and said, "I saw him carrying a bulging burden, and he hurriedly walked in the direction of Zicheng Lane in a hurry, and greeted him, but he didn't care. ”

Lin Jiangbei raised his wrist and glanced at the Ingna watch, and the time was now four thirty-five.

A quarter of an hour ago, less than 4:20.

If calculated according to the time context, the time when Hou Changbin rushed to the Yongjin Dragon Club at four o'clock, and then rushed from the Dragon Club to the residence, can basically correspond.

As for why Hou Changbin did not flee directly but chose to turn back to his residence, presumably to take away the stolen goods left in his residence. If nothing else, the bulging baggage he carried should contain the tablets and incense burners that were lost in the Cao family ancestral hall.

Time has passed for so long, and at this time, it is not meaningful to blindly chase after Zicheng Lane, it is better to see what clues Hou Changbin left in his residence.

Thinking of this, Lin Jiangbei stepped forward to look at the big iron lock lock lock that Hou Changbin hung on the door, then turned his head to look, folded two thin bamboo branches on a bamboo broom placed outside the door by a nearby neighbor, and poked it into the lock hole of the big iron lock a few times.

At this time, it was not only Liu Tianfang and Uncle Xu, but even the five elite policemen in the service office looked at Lin Jiangbei in amazement. They couldn't believe that Chief Lin actually had such a trick of lockpicking that was more exquisite than those who were used to stealing and stealing.

They didn't know that for the Hangcheng special training class with the Central Police Research Institute, opening the door lock with the help of simple tools was the most basic skill that the trainees had to master.

Lin Jiangbei took off the iron lock and pushed open the door, only to see that the house was in a mess, and a blue vest was thrown on the ground.

He picked up the vest and looked at it, only to see a white round cloth on the front and back of the vest, on which were written the three words Yongjinji, which was the patrol uniform of the Yongjinji Dragon Club. Looking at the wet and sweaty stains on it, Lin Jiangbei could imagine how anxious Hou Changbin was when he ran back from the Yongjin Jilong Society.

"Huh!"

Lin Jiangbei took the vest and laughed.

It's really smart but clever and mistaken by cleverness!

Hou Changbin, this kid, took off his vest and threw it in the room, just because he was afraid that he would recognize him when he saw this vest. But he didn't expect that it was precisely the vest he left behind that would help him capture him!

"Zhang Dayou!" Lin Jiangbei shouted.

"Here!" Behind him, a smart-looking policeman stepped forward.

"You stay here and search the room carefully to see if Hou Changbin has any other useful clues left." Lin Jiangbei commanded.

"Yes, sir!"

Seeing that Zhang Dayou began to search the room, Lin Jiangbei turned around and walked out of the room. He lowered his head and sniffed on the blue vest in his hand first, then raised his head, closed his eyes and felt it, found the direction where the smell was strongest, and then opened his eyes, and sure enough, it was the direction of Zicheng Lane.

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Jiangbei's mouth, waved at Liu Tianfang and the other four policemen, and said, "You come with me, let's arrest Hou Changbin!" ”

Hearing that Lin Jiangbei used the word "catch" instead of "chase", the other four policemen couldn't help but look at each other in surprise. Is Advisor Lin really so powerful? Just entered Hou Changbin's residence and took a turn, you know where Hou Changbin is hiding?

Although they were surprised in their hearts, no one dared to ask. Because Ye Luping repeatedly explained to them on the road, saying that it was the bureau seat, who dared not obey Consultant Lin's orders, the bureau seat would definitely pick up the skin on his body!

The policemen didn't dare to ask, and Liu Tianfang didn't dare to ask, and several people followed behind Lin Jiangbei and chased after Zicheng Lane quickly.

I have to say that Hou Changbin is really cunning. On the surface, it seemed that he was going to Zicheng Lane, but he didn't expect him to turn around at the entrance of Zicheng Lane, and when he avoided Uncle Xu's sight, he turned around and ran to the opposite side of Yongjinmen Straight Street, and went along the Yunsi River to Fuqian Street.

His trick may be useful against other policemen, but when he encounters Lin Jiangbei, a cheater who has never forgotten his nose, it will have no effect. Guided by the strong smell of sweat on his body, Lin Jiangbei was not confused at all, and finally went around from Fuqian Street to the lotus pond, and finally stopped at the back wall of a house.

After confirming that there was no smell of Hou Changbin before that, and Hou Changbin's smell disappeared in a gap in the back wall of the house, Lin Jiangbei stopped and said to Liu Tianfang and the four policemen behind him: "Hou Changbin is hiding here!" ”
