Li Mi also knew that Xing Zhutou had been frightened one after another, and now he was disheartened, and even discouraged, and his mind was a mess of mushy obsession, which was somewhat confused, so he immediately reminded him.

When Xing Zhutou heard this, he couldn't help but wake up!

Yes, although Xing Zhutou as a Chinese guarantor found a big boat for Asakusa Kaoru, but because of his arrest and detention, Asakusa Kaoru is only afraid that he has missed the trip of that boat, and now whether the boat has returned to Hong Kong or not, whether it is ready to go to sea for the second time, is still unknown!

"My lord, those serious ships are reluctant to let women on board, so what the villain found for her is a group of Italian boats..."

When Li Mi heard this, he couldn't help but be a little surprised: "The Italian ship? ”

Xing Zhutou looked confused, and said to Li Mi: "It's those foreign monks..."

"Foreign monks? Missionary? ”

"Well, yes, it's them!"

Li Mi couldn't help but be surprised, because among the foreigners contacted by the Ming Dynasty, there were only two kinds, one was the Francophile, and the rest were all collectively called red-haired ghosts, no matter which country it was.

As for the Francophiles, the transliteration is closer to the French, but in fact they are not French, but Franks, who are supposed to have conquered the Germanic race of the French.

Later, some countries such as Arabia called the Spanish and Portuguese people the Franco, and this title was passed to the Ming Dynasty.

Because Spain had early contact with the Ming Dynasty, and Spain annexed Portugal at that time, the people of the Ming Dynasty could not distinguish Spain, so they were all called Franco.

In the Ming Dynasty, except for the Franc machine, that is, Spain and Portugal, other countries like the Netherlands have no trade rights, cannot land and dock seriously, and can only be regarded as sea coars, and the Ming people like to call them red-haired ghosts.

And among these people, after all, there is still a special group, that is, missionaries from various countries.

The Italians in Xing Zhutou's mouth are not Italians as Li Mi mistakenly thought, and the Italia here does not refer to the state, but specifically to the Jesuit missionaries.

The Jesuit missionaries mainly came into contact with the scholar class of the Ming Dynasty, conveying Western ideas and culture to those cultured people, and they also acted as scholars, trying not to touch the interest class, while the Francos mainly did business, and contacted officials in Guangdong and Fujian as maritime merchants.

Although these red-haired ghosts are more open-minded, there is also a taboo about women on the ship, and the men at sea believe that women on the ship will bring bad luck.

In fact, even if you put aside bad luck and the like, navigation was a very dangerous thing at that time, and we had to work together as one, but the days at sea were boring, and we couldn't see women, and if a woman was thrown on board, it would definitely lead to scrambling, destroying unity, and sailing would be dangerous.

Of course, this is only one of the reasons, in any case, women are one of the taboos of seafaring ships.

However, these Italia need to dock ashore, they need the support of local officials, and they need inland officials to provide them with all kinds of conveniences, and they can only talk to these officials.

At the time of the Ming Dynasty, the imperial court did not even need to prepare a special translation, that is, a translation, because these foreigners would take the initiative to learn the language and writing of the Ming Dynasty, and coming to the Ming Dynasty at that time was like a pilgrimage, for them, the Ming Dynasty was a land flowing with milk and honey.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that these Italia agreed to Xing Zhutou and was willing to let Kaoru Asakusa get on board.

After Xing Zhutou provided this news, Li Mi and Jian Dingyong didn't have time to think about it, so they hurriedly gathered a large number of tolerances and went to the vicinity of Yaxing to find this batch of Italy.

However, when I arrived at the dental shop, I learned that these Italia had not yet landed, and had not gone inland to buy things.

In ancient times, navigation was not as fast as imagined, and the sea journey usually lasted for a month or two or even months, so it was especially important to stock up on supplies.

The fact that these Italia did not buy them means that they have no plans to go to sea, which means that Kaoru Asakusa either escaped by other means, or must still be hiding in the city of Suzhou!

This is also one of the reasons why Li Mi insisted on finding out the entire escape process of Kaoru Asakusa, and in the absence of any clues, any suspicions should not be easily let go!

Coming to such a conclusion, Jian Dingyong is mixed, happy that as soon as Li Mifu took over the case, there was new progress and a big step, and the worry is that the arrest of Kaoru Asakusa is still far away.

According to Li Mi's inference, after Kaoru Asakusa was tortured to extract a confession, he was covered in injuries, and then raided the squad from behind, even the people who were beaten with iron couldn't bear it.

Therefore, it is unlikely that she will escape from the bumpy land route or wet waterway, and the most likely thing is that she will hide in the city of Suzhou.

Although Jian Dingyong benefited from Li Mi, allowing Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei to wash all the Japanese in Suzhou City, the internal reinforcements that Kaoru Asakusa was able to obtain were already very limited.

Judging from the fact that they were able to gather a large number of thugs, storm the county prison, slaughter tolerances, and rescue Kaoru Asakusa, there are still a lot of Japanese criminals lurking in the city of Suzhou.

This Suzhou City is so big, at the moment Chen Heguang and Song Zhiwei are busy supporting the sea bandits, there is not enough manpower at all, and they can't carpet search Suzhou City again, so that the results are very small, and it is even very likely to startle the snake, and if you want to catch Asakusa Kaoru again, it will be difficult to climb to the sky.

This woman was so cruel that many Yamen brothers died at her hands, and if they were not caught for a day, everyone would not be able to live in peace for a day.

But now that the clues are all broken, how can we find them?

Although Jian Dingyong put all his hopes on Li Mi, and after taking measures against Xing Zhutou, he announced on the spot that Li Mi would be promoted to the chief arrester of Wu County.

These people are just like Li Mi thought, they are actually not convinced by Li Mi, but just imagine, Wu Yong, who had a gap with Li Mi earlier, was already broken down at this time, and his brain was sick, and Xing Zhutou was convicted, that is, people like Master Qian were all "humiliated" by Li Mi in public, who dared not to be convinced?

Besides, they are real, they have seen with their own eyes, Li Mi really has an unpredictable ability in investigating cases, and he can always find a breakthrough in the seemingly clueless mystery cases, and it is no wonder that those high-ranking officials will favor and value him so much.

Although he became the chief catcher, as the classic line said, the overlord of the beggars is still a beggar, and the total catch sounds good, but after all, it is still a fast catch.

And Li Mi didn't care too much about this, and he wouldn't be too happy at this time, his mind was all on searching for and chasing Kaoru Asakusa.

The clue that can be used at the moment is completely cut off, the huge Suzhou City, trying to find a person, it is really like looking for a needle in a haystack, not to mention that he is also an assassin killer who is extremely good at hiding and lurking, and there are many accomplices to help cover up the traces.

Although the county government has rules that you can't go out at will, Li Mi finally said hello to Jian Dingyong and left the county office.

First, he has just become the chief catcher, and everyone can't accept his role change for a while, and he needs to give these tolerances some buffer time.

Well, it's impossible to do it behind closed doors, and if you always sit in the county office, how can you find clues?

Jian Dingyong also knew that Li Mi had always been low-key, and he had his own unique way of investigating the case, so naturally he would not stop him, and the rule that he was not allowed to go out was also in vain, such as Wu Yong, the official of the torture room, didn't he also have another courtyard outside.

Moreover, Li Mi was going to find Xiang Mu and Yuan Keli for help, and with the assistance of these two Suzhou Mansion masters, it would also be of great benefit to the pursuit of Asakusa Kaoru, and Jian Dingyong would not stop him.

Li Mi came to Xiang Mu's mansion, and the old man was working overtime with Yuan Keli and Jiang Bi to search for those materials.

Xiang Mu is actually the most annoyed by this kind of thing, because he is an interesting person, and he likes fun and strange things.

But this time he honestly helped, for no other reason, this Zhou Yu, or Wang Zuo, is really fascinating!

The information collected by Jiang Bi in the past three years is like a mythical biography, showing the first half of the life of this man in his twenties and thirties in great detail!

Through these few words, they gradually cobbled together a god-like man, and the sense of accomplishment, the joy of satisfying the sense of curiosity, and the relief after the confusion in the heart was solved, without personal experience, it is impossible to truly understand!

This man's every move is so touching, as if he has a talent for seducing others, and he has never even seen him in person, just sorting out these materials, he can be deeply attracted by him, as if he is obsessed!

Fortunately, Xiang Mu was getting old, and his spirit was not as good as before, and when he saw Li Mi coming, he took the opportunity to rest and asked Li Mi about asking for a diorama.

When he listened to Li Mi's narration, he also pulled Li Mi and asked Li Mi to repeat it, Li Mi didn't have the heart to do this again, he just found a whiteboard, drilled a small hole, lit a candle, and demonstrated the principle of small hole imaging to Xiang Mu.

Xiang Mu is a big collector, and he is a super craftsman, that is a guy who is as famous as Shi Chongsheng, the great master of Hangzhou Mansion Artifact, but he has still never seen such a thing.

In his opinion, Li Mi is simply a god's handwriting, using the simplest and most straightforward way to show the rules of heaven and earth, isn't this a means of immortals!

After watching Li Mi's demonstration, Xiang Mu couldn't help but sigh: "Alas... How can there be such a magical person as you in this world, I'm afraid that the whole city of Suzhou will not be able to find a second one..."

Li Mizheng wanted to be modest, but when he heard this, he was suddenly surprised, grabbed Xiang Mu and said, "Brother, what are you talking about?" You repeat! ”

"But I praise you twice, why be so excited..."

"Nope! Say what you just said, say it again! ”

"I said that in the whole city of Suzhou, I'm afraid I can't find a second guy like you..."

Li Mi suddenly laughed and said to Xiang Mu: "This is really a word to wake up a dreamer, brother, you have helped a lot!" ”

After Li Mi finished speaking, he was about to go out, but Xiang Mu hurriedly stopped him: "It's going to be dinner, where are you going crazy?" ”

Li Mi clenched his fists and waved twice: "Catch the female thief!" ”
