The night was deep and the drizzle was non-stop.

Qi Fa's arrival completely broke the comfort just now, Ding Wei's face was very bad, but as a thorn history, he couldn't ignore this kind of thing, not to mention that there was a Su Wuming from the capital sitting here.

"What the hell is going on with your daughter?"

Qi Fa still looked worried, and said: "The little girl's name is Qi Fang, a few days ago she went to Baiyin Temple outside the city to make incense and make a vow, saying that she would come back today, but the grass people waited at home all day, and they didn't wait for her news, and the grass people thought that the little girl would have an accident, so she hurriedly ran to ask the adults for help." ”

After Ding Wei listened to Qi Fa's words, his brows condensed slightly, and he asked, "Maybe your daughter was delayed on the road, maybe she suddenly didn't want to come back today?" ”

Qi Fa shook his head again and again: "Absolutely not, that Baiyin Temple is only half a day away from Hangzhou City, and it will definitely not be delayed, and the little girl said that she will come back today, if she doesn't come back, she will definitely report to her family, but now there is no news at all, it must be that something happened to her on the way." ”

When Su Wuming heard Qi Fa's words, he suddenly remembered the gang of bandits, and the gang of bandits wanted to flee before they could make a move after seeing them, because those bandits knew how powerful they were? Or is it because they have found out that they have robbed the wrong person?

Although they caught a few bandits, there were still a few who escaped, and maybe this Qi Fang girl was caught by the remaining bandits.

Su Wuming didn't speak, he wanted to see how Ding Wei handled this matter.

Ding Wei pondered for a moment and said, "Have you sent someone to Baiyin Temple to inquire?" ”

"I sent someone before dark, but I'm afraid the news won't be until tomorrow!"

"In that case, let's wait for the news tomorrow before making plans!"

"This ......" Qi Fa looked helpless, but after a long time, he still nodded.

Because of Qi Fa's arrival, the banquet could not continue, some of the guests dispersed, and Su Wuming and others also said goodbye and left, but they only left the Assassin's Mansion, but not Hangzhou City.

The reason is very simple, one is that the city gate is closed at this time, and the other is that Su Wuming is very interested in Qi Fang's non-return.

At this time, Hangzhou City is still very lively, people come and go on the street, and there are lanterns floating in the small river in the distance, carrying the Hangzhou City Women's yearning for an infinitely better life.

The Kong Ming lantern burned in the night sky, and the Kong Ming lantern gradually moved away, like moving stars.

The inn in Hangzhou had not yet closed, and after a few people had set up a room, they went to the street to play for a while, and they did not go back to rest until the night was quiet.

The next day, Qian Sheng and his people left Hangzhou City in a hurry, because he was still worried about the bandits he caught yesterday, as long as he left, even if Ding Wei wanted to be angry, he would not be angry.

Qian Sheng left, but Su Wuming and Tang Xiong stayed.

As the director of Dali Temple, he has the right to judge all doubtful cases, and Qi Fang did not return home for a long time yesterday, and it is very likely that he was robbed by bandits, so he must stay and wait for news.

Qi Fa didn't sleep all night, he only squinted for a while when it was almost dawn, and he didn't want to eat breakfast, after all, his only daughter didn't return safely, he really couldn't let go of it, but under the persuasion of his family, he still drank a bowl of porridge.

Not long after breakfast, the person sent by Qi Fa to Baiyin Temple to inquire about the news had rushed back, the man was covered in dust, and his face was very bad when he came, Qi Fa saw him like this, his heart suddenly sank, and then quickly asked: "How is it, have you seen Miss?" ”

The little guy shook his head: "I didn't see Miss, and I asked the abbot of Baiyin Temple, he said that after noon yesterday, Miss left Baiyin Temple with the maid, master, Miss She won't really have an accident, right?" ”

As soon as the little guy finished speaking, Qi Fa suddenly spat on him and scolded: "What are you talking about, how could something happen to Miss!" Although Qi Fa said this, he was already worried in his heart, so he didn't care about talking to the little guy too much, and hurried to the Assassin's Mansion.

The courtyard of the Assassin's Mansion was a little messy because of the banquet held last night, and after a servant led his relatives into the living room, he went to report to Ding Wei.

After a while, Ding Wei came over and asked, "Qi Yuanwai came to my assassination mansion so early, I think there is news, right?" ”

Qi Fa looked nervous, and nodded again and again: "Lord Ding, the person sent to Baiyin Temple is back, the little girl has left after noon yesterday, and now before the news, I'm afraid something is really wrong, please Lord Ding quickly send someone to find it!" ”

When Ding Wei heard Qi Fa's words, he was also a little nervous, so he hurriedly sent someone to find Song Jingtian and said to him: "You immediately take the government officials of the government to hunt for Qi Fang's whereabouts, and you must find her." ”

After Song Jingtian received the order, he hurriedly led people out of the Assassin's Mansion.

However, after Song Jingtian left the Assassin's Mansion and finished assigning the task, he went to the inn where Su Wuming and they stayed alone, because before leaving last night, Su Wuming had told him that if Miss Qi Fang was really missing, he must come and tell him.

After Song Jingtian saw Su Wuming, he told Su Wuming about the development of the matter, and after Su Wuming listened, he pondered for a while and said: "The road from Baiyin Temple to Hangzhou City is the same road we took yesterday, right?" ”

"There are several roads from Baiyin Temple to Hangzhou City, and the one that Lord Su and the others walked yesterday is also okay, why, Lord Su suspects that Miss Qi Fang was kidnapped by the gang of bandits you met on the road?"

Su Wuming nodded: "There is such a possibility, the gang of bandits yesterday saw us and ran away without even saying a word, thinking that they had noticed a mistake, and they didn't want to alert the people behind them." ”

"In that case, let's go ask the bandits!"

The group entered the Assassin's Mansion, Ding Wei saw that Su Wuming had not left, smiled lightly at the corner of his mouth, and said: "I have heard that Lord Su is good at handling suspicious cases, and now I am in Hangzhou City There is a suspicious case, I'm afraid I will bother Master Su!" ”

Su Wuming bowed his hand slightly: "Lord Ding said that, as the head of Dali Temple, he has to solve the world's mysterious cases, and there is nothing to worry about!" ”

Ding Wei actually wanted to see Su Wuming's detective skills, so what he said just now was not all true, and Su Wuming's words were in line with his mind, so he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "I know that Master Su wants to interrogate those thieves, please!" ”

Those thieves were imprisoned in the prison and had not been given food, and when they saw someone coming, they shouted that they were hungry and wanted to eat, and Song Jingtian snorted coldly: "What is the noise, if you want to eat, answer the question honestly." ”

Su Wuming stared at the people in the prison for a moment, and then asked, "Which mountain do you belong to?" ”

The thieves glanced at each other and did not answer, Su Wuming saw this, and smiled lightly: "It's okay for you to answer honestly, but if you don't answer, within the next three days, you will eat a grain of rice and drink a sip of water, I heard that if people don't drink water, they will die quickly and very uncomfortable." ”

At this time, these thieves were hungry and thirsty, and after hearing Su Wuming's words, they felt that their stomachs were bulging, and their throats were dry and almost smoking.

And at this time, a government official who had the meaning of Su Wuming brought wine and food, and the wine and food were fragrant, which was even more tempting.

The thieves couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when they saw the food and wine, and finally one of the thieves couldn't help it and said, "We are not the mountain, and we are not bandits." ”

"Oh, what are you?"

"We ...... We're just street thugs! ”

As soon as the thief finished answering, Song Jingtian immediately shouted: "Nonsense, the thugs on the street dare to do the business of robbing houses and houses, and they have done it to Master Su?" ”

Song Jingtian shouted loudly to frighten these thieves, they quickly knelt down, kowtowed and begged for mercy: "Lord Su spare your life, but what we said is true, we are indeed gangsters on the street, and the crime of robbing houses is not to rob you, Lord Su, but to rob other people." ”

Hearing the bandit say this, Su Wuming and the others glanced at each other, and it seemed that their guess was most likely correct.

"What the hell is going on, since you are gangsters, why did you suddenly start robbing the house, and who are you going to rob?"

"We used to eat on the street, but then one day, a person found us, asked us if we want to make a lot of money, we people want to go crazy every day to think about money, there will not be wanted, so that person said to us, Hangzhou City Chong Qi Fa Qi outside the daughter of the incense in Baiyin Temple, we can wait for her to go home on the way to rob it, and then to coerce Qi Fa to take money to ransom, that Qi Fa only Qi Fang a daughter, he has a lot of money, will not be stingy with silver, we listened, then ...... And I did! ”

The officer's words proved everyone's conjecture, Su Wuming pondered for a while, and continued to ask: "The person looking for you is the one with a scar on his face and a blind eye?" ”

"That's right, it's him, we all call him Scarlet!"

"Who is he?"

"We don't know about this, we've only known each other for a few days, so we didn't have time to ask."

"You followed him without thinking about his identity?"

"We are all carefree people, as long as we can get money, it doesn't matter who he is!"

The words of these thieves made Ding Wei very angry, but he wanted to see Su Wuming's ability, so he kept holding back.

Su Wuming frowned, and continued to ask, "Did you say where you hid Qi Fang after you caught her?" ”

"I didn't say this, but it's nothing more than two places: Tianmang Mountain and Lingding Temple!"

"Tianmang Mountain and Lingding Temple?" Su Wuming had never heard of these two places.

"That's right, Tianmang Mountain is outside the city of Hangzhou, it is a very barren mountain, not very high, but there is our nest inside, after we started to pay attention to Qi Fang, where we have been living, as for the Lingding Temple, it is a broken temple, and it is a place where we have discussed the joint."
