When the group returned to the inspection department, Lin Fan gathered Song Mao'an and others together to discuss the method of arresting Fu Tianlin overnight.

An Ning asked Lin Fan puzzled: "On our way back, the adults told us that they already had a way to arrest Fu Tianlin. But now we don't even have a clue, how do we catch it? ”

Lin Fan smiled, sold a pass, and said to Song Mao: "Brother Song, please bring a map over."

Song Mao did as he said, and Lin Fan took the map handed by Song Mao and spread it on the table.

He picked up the candle and said to everyone by the light of the fire: "Come and see, this is Qingyang Town, that is, where the Tian family who lost things first is located. And this is Boliu Town, where the Qiu family is located; Finally, this is Sanxing Town, which is the Song family that has just been stolen. Everyone came to look at these three places, what did they find? ”

Through the continuous flickering candlelight, An Ning stared intently at the map that followed the flickering candlelight, and at this time he suddenly understood what Lin Fan meant.

But Song Mao, Wang Hu and the others were still a little foggy, and looked at Lin Fan suspiciously.

Looking at everyone's eyes, Lin Fan said with a smile: "Okay, don't embarrass everyone!" Come and see! ”

"No matter how good Fu Tianlin is, no matter how you say it, he is only a person after all, and his range of activities is limited after all. What's more, he has been committing crimes again in recent days, which means that the place where he is located cannot be too far from every crime location. ”

While Lin Fan spoke, he drew three large circles on the map with gray carbon around these points.

"Now, let's take these three towns as the center and zoom in to a radius of fifty miles around, and we will find that the most likely place for Fu Tianlin is here!"

After Lin Fan finished speaking, he pressed the remaining gray carbon in his hand fiercely against the area where the three circles intersected.

Looking at the eye-catching black dot on the map, a few people who were about to lay their heads on the map suddenly realized.

Lin Fan didn't give a few people time to get used to it, and he also stopped Song Mao's sycophants who were about to speak.

He pointed to the map and asked, "Brother Song, you are familiar with the place, can you see what kind of place this is?"

Song Mao finally held back the words that were about to come to his lips, he looked at the map, and after a while he frowned and said, "My lord, look at the location, this should be near Pingyangdu." Just a few years ago, a bridge was built upstream, and the ferry was deserted, and there were not many people going there. However, in recent years, as more and more people have fled from the north, there are many ready-made houses there, which are used by the government to house refugees. ”

As Song Mao's cronies, Jin Hai was also able to follow him to participate in this discussion. In order to change Lin Fan's previous impression of him, Song Mao specially instructed him not to talk too much before he came.

However, Jin Hai is a violent temper, and he can still be honest and obedient in the front, but when he hears this, he can't help it anymore.

He hurriedly said to Song Mao: "Big brother, why are we still waiting here?" I'm going to gather the brothers, surround Pingyangdu, and when the time comes, I won't believe that I won't be able to catch him! As long as we catch Fu Tianlin and report it to the imperial court, this is a great achievement! ”

Seeing that his subordinates were so unruly, Song Mao's face turned dark, and he scolded him loudly: "Shut up, something without brains!" You don't look at how you can talk here, why don't you go down to me quickly, don't embarrass me here! ”

It can be seen that Song Mao still loves Jin Hai very much, otherwise he would not be so protective of him.

Lin Fan smiled, waved his hand to stop Song Mao, and said, "Brother Song doesn't have to be like this!" ”

He comforted Jin Hai again: "Jin Teamzheng, don't worry! We all also want to seize Fu Tianlin and send it to the imperial court to invite merit. But come and tell me, do you know who Fu Tianlin is? What is his physical appearance and what are his characteristics? If we go to Pingyangdu in such a hurry, how should we check and how should we arrest it? Is it like a headless fly? ”

"It's... I...! Although Lin Fan's tone was very calm, and his tone was more like recounting some facts than asking questions, Jin Hai was still stopped by a series of questions from Lin Fan's mouth and couldn't answer.

If before, with Song Mao's support, he would still dare to mess around according to his temperament.

But over the past few days, seeing Lin Fan and others step by step build the original rotten and boundless inspection department into what it is now, it is impossible to say that they have no admiration for Lin Fan at all.

Don't look at Lin Fan's usual giggling with everyone, and he doesn't put on a show for everyone, but the entire inspection department has seen how powerful he is, who dares not to take him seriously? Under the oppression of Lin Fan's momentum, and seeing Song Mao's stern eyes again, Jin Hai could only silently retreat to the side and dare not speak again.

Lin Fan didn't bother him, and then said to everyone: "To put it mildly, we don't know anything about Fu Tianlin now, so it's not a good idea to rush forward to arrest people like this." Brother Song also said just now that the place is now full of refugees, mixed with fish and dragons, and there are many people. And Fu Tianlin has a good reputation among the civilians, if there is a little wind and grass at that time, the grass will startle the snake, and Fu Tianlin will definitely run away from the wind. When the time comes, there will be a vast sea of people, and if we want to catch him again, it will be more difficult than looking for a needle in a haystack! ”

Hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Song Mao bowed his hand to Lin Fan and said, "My lord, don't listen to the nonsense of Jin Hai. I'm here to make amends to the adults for him! But then again, since the adults came to us to discuss, I think we must already have a countermeasure, right? Subordinates and so on, listen to you! ”

Lin Fan smiled: "Brother Song, you don't have to compliment me anymore!" My idea is this, since we can't find a needle in a haystack, we might as well give him a wait. ”

Speaking of this, Lin Fan paused again. When everyone saw him come again, they were all a little speechless. Hurriedly asked: "My lord, don't sell Guanzi, what do you say?"

His bad taste was satisfied, and Lin Fan laughed. He then said: "Everyone, the area where Fu Tianlin is hiding is very large, and we don't know where he is hiding at all; But if a large-scale manhunt is carried out, it will inevitably alarm him, but it will backfire and let him escape. ”

"And my method is that instead of forcibly searching him down and scaring him away, it is better to pretend that we don't know what to do, and directly find out the next target he is most likely to attack, ambush him in advance, and wait for him to send him to the door himself!"

"I already had this plan when I heard the news of the theft of the Song family in Boliu Town today. In fact, it is the same whether the Song family goes or not. The reason why I went to Song's house to check was to make the Song family feel at ease; The second reason is because I deliberately let Fu Tianlin know the news. ”

"After all, Fu Tianlin is not an ordinary person, the reason why I did this is to make him think that we are still being led by his nose until now, and he can still rest assured that he can do whatever he wants. If it's because of our abnormal behavior, he becomes alert and stops shooting, then it's really not easy to do! ”

Everyone listened carefully to Lin Fan's words in one breath, and they all understood Lin Fan's method, and they all silently considered the feasibility of this plan in their hearts, but no one spoke for a while, and there was only the occasional slight popping sound of candle flames jumping and burning in the whole room.

After a while, Wang Hu asked puzzledly, "My lord, this is indeed a good idea, but how can we determine the next target of this Fu Tianlin?"

Lin Fan took a sip of water, moistened his throat, and explained: "Brother Wang Hu is right, this is the most difficult and important point in this plan. Because no one knows what Fu Tianlin thinks and what he will do next. ”

"However, it's not completely impossible! Let's look at the map. You see, if it is centered on the Pingyangdu area and extends outward to several surrounding towns, Fu Tianlin of Qingyang Town, Boliu Town, and Sanxing Town has already visited, and basically can be omitted; And the rest are the two towns of Jiming Town and Jixiang Town. Therefore, Fu Tianlin's next prey should be in these two towns. You might as well think about it, in these two towns, there is a big family that has a bad reputation, and that family is very likely to be his target. ”

Lin Fan had just finished speaking, and before he could catch his breath, Song Mao and Jin Hai, the two local snakes, glanced at each other, and blurted out together: "Jin Yuan's foreign family!"

Lin Fan sighed and asked, "Brother Song, tell me what's going on with this Jin Yuanwai?"

Song Mao's expression was a little wrong, and he hesitated for a moment before saying: "Jixiang Town is a small town, and I haven't heard of any squires in the town. However, Jin Yuanwai is a big family in Jiming Town, and he started by opening casinos and lending money, which has caused many families to die and his wife to be separated over the years. So in the entire Yongyang County, it is known that the reputation of the Jin family is not very good. ”

Lin Fan saw Song Mao's somewhat twisted appearance and knew that he must have received a lot of benefits from this so-called gold member. He didn't bother to break it, and said, "I see!"

Then he said: "Since this is the case, time is pressing, then let's go to Jiming Town to arrange it first!"

Song Mao said again at this time: "My lord, my subordinates don't know if they should say something or not?"

Lin Fan said: "Brother Song, you don't have to babble, just say what you have to say!"

Song Mao said: "My lord, this Fu Tianlin has already shot three times in a row, will he really commit another crime?" Even if he will make another move, the target is really the Jin family, but when will he make a move? Are these adults really sure about this? ”

In fact, not only Song Mao, but also the other people present also had this kind of question, even An Ning, who believed in Lin Fan's ability the most, had some drums in his heart. At this time, when they heard Song Mao ask what was in their hearts for them, they all looked at Lin Fan directly.

Lin Fan smiled bitterly and touched his nose: "Actually, I want to tell everyone that there is!" But I don't want to lie to you either. To be honest, I'm not entirely sure about that, but we don't have a better way to do it right now, do we? Instead of sitting here, let's do it! As for whether it can be done or not, it can only depend on luck and leave it to fate! ”

With Lin Fan's gag, everyone laughed along. Song Mao said: "My lord is right, my subordinates have too many concerns. Now that my lord has decided, I'll go down and make arrangements! ”
