When Yang Chen and the others walked out of Li Gui's house, the sky was completely dark, and the thick clouds covered the stars and moon, making the environment in the alley even more gloomy.

"My lord, do you think his words are really credible?" After taking two steps, Huang Feng suddenly asked with some doubts.

Yang Chen glanced at him: "Do you think that Li Gui told a lie?" ”

"This fact is a little strange, and the little ones can't figure it out. How could he only have half a pawn ticket? Where did the other half go? And I don't believe that anyone in the county government would take away such important physical evidence. Huang Feng said with a serious expression. They were all brothers who had been on an errand together for many years, and he really couldn't suspect anyone.

"I thought the more bizarre it sounded, the more credible it became. If Li Gui really wants to make up a nonsense to deceive us, he can say something more convincing, isn't it? Yang Chen has his own opinions.

Huang Feng scratched his hair, and he didn't know how to answer, and only asked after a while: "Then my lord, how do you say we should investigate this case next?" ”

"First, follow the clues found before, carefully investigate the people who are close to Chen Zhigao, and see if there is anything suspicious about them." Yang Chen already had a plan, and immediately gave his opinion: "Second, it is to secretly visit the county government to see if the half of the pawn ticket was stolen by someone." ”

"That's all there is to it. What is the use of this half pawn ticket? Where will the other half be ......" Huang Feng said casually, but was interrupted by Lu Jin's sudden words: "Yes, if you can find the other half of the pawn ticket, this breakthrough may be found!" ”

"Huh? But we can't even guarantee whether there is this half of the pawn ticket, how can we find the half of it? Huang Fengman asked puzzledly.

From the current point of view, this half of the pawn ticket is likely to be related to the killing of Chen Zhigao, in other words, it is an extremely important object for him. If he deliberately split it in two to ensure that it would not be taken by others, where do you think he would hide it but take it with him? ”

"This ...... The safest place should be your own home......" Huang Feng speculated along his train of thought, and then shook his head: "But we have been looking for a long time in his house just now, and we didn't find anything different?" ”

"Go back and search again!" Yang Chen turned around suddenly: "It was because I was looking aimlessly before, so there must be something missing." But now that we have a goal, it's much easier to find. With that, he raised his legs and walked quickly in the direction of Chen's house. When Huang Feng saw it, he was slightly stunned and followed, although he still didn't have much hope in his heart.

But just as Yang Chen walked quickly to the depths of the alley, only a few zhang away from the Chen family, his steps were abrupt, which caught Huang Feng, who was following closely, a little unprepared, and almost hit his head in the former's back. Subconsciously, he said, "Your Excellency......"

"Silence! Look there......" Yang Chen pointed his hand ahead and reminded in a low voice. Huang Feng was surprised to find that on the edge of Chen's house, in the dark, there were two black shadows in one place muttering something quietly.

This is...... The newly widowed lady of the Chen family can't bear the loneliness and is looking for a wild man? Huang Feng's first reaction was this, and a look of disdain appeared in his eyes. But Yang Chen obviously didn't see it that way, such an uninvited guest suddenly appeared at night, or a secret meeting with the Chen family, which must have a lot to do with Chen Zhigao's case.

So he immediately turned around and ordered: "You go around the back, fight me back and forth, and take the person again!" ”

"Good!" Huang Feng agreed, and quickly followed the shadow of the alley towards the back of the two people, his movements agile and light. And Yang Chen also bowed his body, slowly moved forward, calculated the distance between the two sides, and just waited for Huang Feng to attack as soon as he arrived.

Just when he was only more than ten steps away from the other party and could be killed, suddenly one of the people in the conversation sighed lightly, and then looked to the side vigilantly.

Although this alley is dark and dark, this person's eyesight is not weak, and he immediately found Huang Feng who was still circling behind him, and without saying a word, he left the people around him and went straight forward.

"Thief, where to go!" Seeing that his whereabouts were exposed, Huang Feng hurriedly shouted, and suddenly pounced, and at the same time greeted Yang Chen's position: "Be careful, adults, this guy has some ability!" But it was from this person's actions that he could see that he was a good man.

Yang Chen was angry, and said in his heart, can you be more steady? It's just that I'm exposed, this call sold me, and I was going to kill him by surprise!

Sure enough, the person who was rushing forward suddenly slowed down, looked forward vigilantly, and found Yang Chen's position at once. And the latter saw that it had been exposed, so he could only pounce as quickly as Huang Feng. Fortunately, there are only two ends in this alley, and he and Huang Feng blocked both ends, and the other party should have no way to escape.

That's when things happen. After the man realized that he was being intercepted from front to back, he quickly returned to his place, pulled up the person who was talking to him just now, turned around and headed towards Huang Feng. Only then did the one let out an exclamation, and all I could hear was a woman.

Seeing him rushing towards him, Huang Feng hurriedly put on a posture and prepared to fight with him. Unexpectedly, when this person rushed to the front of the woman with a pull, he suddenly shook his hand, and then pushed, and pushed his accomplice towards Huang Feng fiercely.

This was really beyond Huang Zhutou's expectations, he subconsciously dodged and avoided the collision, but he also made way for the other party. The man was also a master who could afford to let go, so he immediately gave up his accomplices, and his bow jumped suddenly, grazing Huang Feng's body and running into the darkness.

At this time, Yang Chen had already arrived, and when he saw this, he let out a loud shout, and his body suddenly soared into the air, rushing towards the other party's back like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit. Hearing this movement, the man's hurried body suddenly paused, and then he turned his head sharply, and with a wave of his arm, a cold light suddenly lit up in the dark night.

"Be careful, sir!" When he saw this light light on, Huang Feng had already exclaimed, but it was obviously half a beat late. The speed of this sudden knife was so fast that it didn't give people a chance to dodge at all, but Yang Chen rushed straight over, just like he hit the sword light.

"Dang!" Just when several people thought that Yang Chen was going to be bad, a crisp sound of gold and iron intersecting exploded in front of him, only to see him bend his arm to protect himself, and actually used the forearm of his right hand to block this fatal knife! Then, the body was stunned, and then retreated.

A trace of strangeness obviously flashed in the eyes of the person who drew the knife, but he did not mean to entangle more, and after retreating from the enemy with a knife, he hurriedly plunged into the darkness again, and quickly disappeared into the darkness. And Yang Chen, even if he wanted to catch up this time, it was too late, not to mention that his body was still retreating.

All this is complicated, in fact, it happened in an instant, and when Yang Chen stood still, Huang Feng finally came back to his senses, quickly turned around, and grabbed the wrist of the person who fell to the ground next to him—he had let one person escape, and he would not let his accomplice leave—and then the other party let out a cry of pain.

Huang Feng didn't care about it completely, just looked at Yang Chen: "My lord is so skilled, you didn't hurt anything, right?" I've known you for more than half a year, and I didn't know you had such a skill! ”

Yang Chen smiled bitterly and walked over: "If I am really smart, I can leave that guy behind, but it didn't turn out that he would have run away." ”

"That's a small enemy...... Huang Feng said reproachfully: "Fortunately, I won one!" ”

Yang Chen nodded, and then he lit the fire fold he carried with him, shining on the woman, but he frowned at a glance: "It's you!" It turned out that the person who had a private meeting with someone late at night was actually the maid in Chen's house, and after seeing his appearance clearly, Huang Feng was also stunned.

At this time, the people in the house were also alarmed, and a slightly trembling voice sounded from inside: "What...... Who's out there? Don't mess around......" was the voice of the servant woman who had opened the door for them.

Yang Chen motioned to Huang Feng to pull the maid up, and then came to the gate of the courtyard and said, "This official is Yang Chen, and he just came to your mansion not long ago to investigate the case. As he spoke, he pushed his hand, and the door of the courtyard opened.

The servant woman inside didn't expect the door to be easily pushed open, and couldn't help but let out a soft cry again, until she saw Yang Chen and the two of them clearly, she settled down a little: "Two adults, you are ......" Then she saw the maid who was holding Huang Feng's wrist, and exclaimed: "Xiaoyu, why are you ......?"

At this time, Chen had also rushed over when she heard the sound, and her face was also a little pale, obviously frightened. After seeing Yang Chen and them come to the door again, they were even more surprised: "Two adults, what's going on?" ”

"But I'm going to ask your maid. On this big night, she actually went out to talk to people privately, and after we found out, that guy actually hurt people, almost hurting us. Huang Feng said with palpitations, and glanced at Yang Chen's hanging right hand again, really wondering how he could stubbornly block the terrifying knife.

"Xiaoyu, what the hell is going on?" After hearing this, Chen immediately turned his face and looked at the maid who was already bloodless and trembling with great majesty.

"Madame, the maid is wrong, I shouldn't have agreed to that person's ...... because of greed" was asked by his own master, Xiaoyu immediately panicked, and immediately knelt down.

In her somewhat intermittent narration, a few people knew what was going on. It turned out that the guy just now promised Xiao Yu the benefit of a hundred taels of silver, so that she could find the whereabouts of half of the pawn ticket in this Chen Mansion. Just now, the other party came to Xiaoyu to ask for something.

"You gave him the pawn ticket?" Yang Chen's heart suddenly tightened, and he hurriedly asked. At the same time, he was even more convinced that what Li Gui said was true, and the half of the pawn ticket he saw must be very simple.
