Baoan Town is in the northwest of Daye County, about forty miles away from Daye County, in order to track down the whereabouts of these bandits, Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan discussed, and the first stop was chosen here in Baoan Town.

In order not to startle the snake, this time he listened to Gao Huaiyuan's opinion, and everyone disguised themselves as ordinary people or hawkers, and went on the road separately, while inquiring about news along the way, while heading towards Baoan Town.

And Gao Huaiyuan is still dressed up on weekdays, followed by Xue Yan, but not like a rich man, more like a merchant who purchases goods, anyway, some time ago, Gao Huaiyuan was dressed like this, buying animal fat and other raw materials for soap everywhere nearby, just dressed up like this, and did not deliberately disguise himself, but the more this is the case, the more real it is, after all, he is not a head catcher, after arriving here, he is relatively low-key, rarely goes out and has nothing to hang out, there are few people who know him, but Xing Zhutou pretended to be a meat butcher, Walking with Gao Huaiyuan, it really looks like two shops walking together.

This is the experience of his previous life, if he wants to investigate and handle cases, he can't find any good clues by wearing a public uniform, and he can't find any good clues.

And the reason why Xue Yan followed Gao Huaiyuan was because when Gao Huaiyuan set off, Xue Yan followed him so resolutely and silently, no matter how Gao Huaiyuan reprimanded, he didn't return the favor, he didn't agree, so Gao Huaiyuan had no choice, so he had to let him follow, but he was still a little moved in his heart, knowing that Xue Yan was not worried about his own safety, and then thought about it, Xue Yan had also done this business before, and he might be able to help him this time, so he no longer forced him to stay in the old mansion, there were no tigers in the mountains this time, The monkey is the overlord, and Huang Yan, the monkey spirit, has become the boss of the Gao family's old mansion, and he can be powerful for a few days.

As for those teenagers, of course Gao Huaiyuan couldn't let them be fully armed, carrying guns, hanging knives, and carrying bows and arrows to Baoan Town, before leaving, let them put their weapons in their cars, and they all changed into tattered clothes, dressed as wandering teenagers, and went on the road in groups of three or five, and after going to Baoan Town, they gathered in the Land Temple in the east of the town, and by the way, they also cooperated with the headhunters to find out the news about those thieves along the way.

These teenagers used to be street children, so they don't have to worry about them not pretending to be like this, only Zhou Hao has never been a street child, but his family is not a wealthy family, after listening to Gao Huaiyuan's instructions, everyone feels excited, but also feels novel, after all, they are still teenagers, childlike innocence, I think this thing is really a bit fun, so after collecting some tattered clothes in the old house, I tore it up and made it even more tattered, regardless of whether it fits or not, put a set on the body, Then go to the hearth and grab the ashes and wipe them on the face, and they will immediately recover to the virtue they used to have before they came to the Gao family, and then find a bag of rags for their original clothes, put them on their backs, and drag them out of the Gao family with a stick.

Xing Zhutou was kind to Gao Huaiyuan's suggestions, and all of them were followed, and he admired Gao Huaiyuan's method very much, thinking that this was like investigating a case, no wonder his own group of people couldn't catch the thieves before, and he felt ashamed when he thought about it, he took a group of babbling arresters and shouted all the way, even if he met a thief, the thief had already run away, it was not that he didn't know the way to investigate the case in plainclothes, but he was used to swaggering through the market on weekdays, and doing so could only intimidate the local ruffians, It's really happened to this kind of thing, and the kind of behavior on weekdays has become the cause of bad things.

So this time, after Gao Huaiyuan asked them about the details of the investigation, he pointed them out, which made Xing Zhutou and the gang a little embarrassed, so when they came out this time, they all converged, and according to Xing Zhutou's instructions, they disguised themselves before they went on their own roads.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan chose Baoan Town as the first stop is not without a target, but because he has two reasons, one is that Baoan Town is the first place where the gangsters have haunted, and Qianjiazhuang is not far south of Baoan Town, and the other is that Baoan Town is not far from the two missing Niangzi Lake, so the gangsters' nest is likely to be near Baoan Town, and the scope is narrower, and it can even be said that it is likely to be in the area of Niangzi Lake.

And from the perspective of the area where the gangsters committed crimes in the past, although these gangsters committed crimes in one shot, they were not completely irregular, and after the overall analysis, it can be found that the most crimes were committed in the northwest of Daye County, so after Gao Huaiyuan analyzed these situations, with the experience of his previous life, plus Xue Yan helped analyze on the side, and finally concentrated the main suspicious location in the area west of Baoan Town.

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan was not in a hurry, together with Xing Zhutou, he stopped and stopped, and when he met the tea shed on the side of the road, he stopped to drink a cup of tea, and by the way, in the tone of inquiring about business, he talked with the passers-by or the old farmers in the tea shed, and also said some things about the gang of gangsters in Daye County during this time, arousing people's discussions, and trying to hear some news from their words.

But along the way, he found nothing, at most he heard some boundless rumors, Gao Huaiyuan tried to dig out something from these rumors, but in the end he had to give up, because something came to the mouths of the people, and after a period of word of mouth, it became a myth.

Xing Zhutou looked more depressed because he didn't find anything, you know, his pressure is indeed not small, like this kind of thing, the above is a time limit to solve the case, if he can't solve the case within the specified time, then he, the head catcher who finally got mixed up, don't want to do it anymore.

"Brother Xing, don't worry, those bandits are not immortals after all, as long as they commit crimes, they will definitely leave clues, as long as we are patient, we will definitely capture them in one fell swoop and eliminate harm for the people!" Gao Huaiyuan walked to the sullen Xing Zhutou and comforted him.

"Thank you, Young Master Gao, I am all incompetent, let the brothers follow together, if I had done what you did, it is estimated that these bandits would have been captured by us a long time ago! Now that I have to work Young Master Gao to come out with us, Xing is really embarrassed! Xing Zhutou smiled bitterly and thanked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Why did Brother Xing say this? It is Gao's duty to eliminate harm for the people, Brother Xing doesn't have to be polite to me, it is also an honor to be able to help Brother Xing! Don't think about it, let's go to Baoan Town first and see what the others have to say! Gao Huaiyuan was polite.

The three of them drove the mule cart, and began to talk and laugh along the way towards Baoan Town, after Xing Zhutou was dismissed by Gao Huaiyuan, his mood was much better, and he talked to Gao Huaiyuan about some of the people he knew, so that Gao Huaiyuan had a deeper understanding of some things in the officialdom.

When they walked to Baoan Town, they temporarily settled in an inn, and then Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan went separately to find their own people to inquire about the news.

After dark, Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Zhutou met again in the inn, and after letting Xue Yan guard the door of the house outside the door, Gao Huaiyuan hugged his fists at Xing Zhutou and smiled: "Congratulations to Brother Xing!" Things seem to be a bit eyebrow-raising! ”

Xing Zhutou was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "How do you say this?" The people on my side haven't found out anything! ”

Gao Huaiyuan pulled Xing Zhutou to sit down, and said while eating: "This is the benefit of teenagers having teenagers, my teenagers in the nursing home, dressed as a little flower child, no one will care about them all the way, so they can inquire about the things, there are a lot more than us, the reason why this matter is said to be eyebrow-raising, mainly because two of them are in the south of the town, and they met two people, these two people seem to have drunk a little too much, and they have purchased a lot of food, and they are out of Baoan Town, walking towards Niangzi Lake."

Because they didn't pay attention to my two servants, they spoke a little openly, and inadvertently said things that shouldn't be said, saying that they would go out in a few days, and what little ladies tasted enough, so that my people heard them, so they paid attention to them.

These two people are not locals, one of them has his face covered with hair, and after careful observation, he found that this person has tattoos on his face, like a matching army, and these two people have guys hidden in them, it doesn't seem to be a good thing, maybe it may have something to do with those thieves!

Now that my people have quietly followed them, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will probably bring back the news, Brother Xing should wait here for a day with peace of mind first, and see if the news they brought back is useful! ”

Things are often so coincidental, because Gao Huaiyuan's people are all teenagers, and they are dressed as little flowers, so when ordinary people speak, they don't care about them at all, but the result is that they just arrived in Baoan Town, and they met those two guys here, and things went smoothly so that Gao Huaiyuan felt surprised.

After Xing Zhutou heard this, he was really overjoyed, so he thanked Gao Huaiyuan again and again, and after the two chatted for a while, they rested after eating and did not mention it.

He waited in the inn for a full day, and late at night the next day, Fei Wenlong brought a teenager to the inn.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard a commotion at the door of the inn, he immediately left the room and walked towards the door, only to see Fei Wenlong and another teenager arguing with the inn's junior.

It turned out that the inn's Xiao Er was about to close, but he saw that the two Xiao Xiaohua wanted to break into their inn, so he stretched out his hand to stop them and wanted to drive them out of the inn, but Fei Wenlong quarreled with this Xiao Er.

"Little two! Don't be embarrassed for them, they're coming for me, let them in! Gao Huaiyuan immediately spoke and instructed Xiao Er, and at the same time took out a few big coins and stuffed them into Xiao Er's hands.

As soon as this little er saw that someone responded, and seeing that although Gao Huaiyuan was not very old, he had an extraordinary bearing, and he got a reward, so he didn't let go of the fart, so he quickly got out of the way and let Fei Wenlong and the two walk into the inn.

When Gao Huaiyuan took Fei Wenlong and the others back to the house, closed the door, Xing Zhutou immediately came over in a hurry, and hurriedly asked, "This little brother, have you already found out?" ”

Fei Wenlong was also overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Zhutou: "Congratulations to Xing Zhutou, congratulations to the young master!" As the young master expected, these thieves are really hiding in the mountains near Niangzi Lake, and we have already found their lair! ”

Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan were overjoyed, and the smooth progress of things made them both feel a little incredible, as if they were listening to a commentary.

"Tell me quickly, where are those thieves hiding? How's that going? Xing Zhutou was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Fei Wenlong and the others.

"Let's let Li Ergou say this, it is his credit for discovering the thief this time, and he followed the thief to find their nest last night!" Fei Wenlong pushed a teenager behind him out.

This Li Ergou usually looks like a wooden face, is the type that is not good at talking, it can be said that he can't stomp a fart on three feet, but he is the most hard-working person on weekdays, when Fei Wenlong pushed him out, he bowed down to Gao Huaiyuan and gave a salute before he spoke: "They are near Chenjiazui by Niangzi Lake, there are about twenty or thirty people, very careful, there are boats, and they are very cunning!" ”

Li Ergou spoke very simply, but he roughly explained the situation of the gang of thieves, Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan both understood his words, so they looked at each other and laughed.

After knowing the location of these thieves, things are easy to do, and it will be interesting to stay in Baoan Town again, so Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Zhutou carefully questioned Li Ergou again, and found that these thieves are indeed veterans, no wonder they can't find them, it turns out that these people are hiding in the mountains by the lake on weekdays, and they also hide boats by the lake, and they can escape from the waterway at any time, and they also leave hidden piles outside the yard, which shows that these guys are really cunning.

After figuring out these things, Xing Zhutou couldn't sit still any longer, so after discussing with Gao Huaiyuan, he decided to rush to Niangzi Lake overnight to check the situation there, and wait for an opportunity to take down this gang of thieves.

Gao Huaiyuan didn't object, he ended the matter as soon as possible, he still had a lot of things to do, so he nodded and agreed, and then took Xue Yan, Fei Wenlong and others, met overnight, quietly left the inn, and met with Zhou Hao and a group of teenagers in the broken temple in the east of the town, and rushed to the shore of Niangzi Lake overnight.

After dawn, Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan and his entourage went to the vicinity of Chenjiazui, the old nest of the thieves on the shore of Niangzi Lake, in order not to startle the snakes, everyone hid in the reeds by the lake, and watched the thief's old house in the hill of Chenjiazui from a distance.

After looking at the terrain here and the situation of the old house, Xing Zhutou and Gao Huaiyuan both had a headache, according to what Li Ergou said, there are at least twenty or thirty of these thieves, and they hide in the old mansion in the col all day long, and they don't come out at all, and this old mansion has a high wall to surround the house, and they can't see the situation inside clearly, how the thieves inside are arranged, they can't see it from the outside, and if they attack it, this high wall will cause them a lot of trouble, If the opponent defends the wall, it is likely to inflict a lot of casualties on them.

And not far from the old house, there is a water inlet, once the thief is frightened, abandon the old house and escape, soon you can run to the water's edge, board the boat and escape into the lake, once the thief escapes into the lake, the water surface of Niangzi Lake is very large, and the ravines are vertical and horizontal, there are countless inlets for them to hide or escape, if you want to catch them again, I am afraid that even if you transfer one or two thousand soldiers and horses, you may not be able to catch them again!

After careful observation, Gao Huaiyuan relied on his keen eyesight and found that there were also two or three people guarding the inlet, if he wanted to sneak outside the mansion, he would be discovered by these people, not including the hidden piles they didn't find, the matter was really tricky!

"Fuck it! Let's just kill the past, they are thieves, we are officials, only they are afraid of us, can we still be afraid of them? Hurry up and catch these thieves and avenge the third child! Li Lao Liu is a reckless man, and after seeing that he found the thief's lair, he couldn't hold it back, and lowered his voice and said to Xing Zhutou.

"You're a pig! Let's kill them like this, not to mention that we can't catch them, if they also have bows and crossbows, we won't be able to reach the gate, and they will shoot them into hedgehogs, you want to die, you can't let the brothers die like this! Get out of the way, let me think about it! Xing Zhutou had a black line in his head and scolded Li Lao Liu in a low voice.

Li Lao Liu was scolded by him, and immediately shut up and said nothing, squatting to the side honestly, sulking with a reed in his mouth.

Gao Huaiyuan smiled, didn't speak, made a reed hat casually, put it on his head, stretched out his head and looked in the direction of the thief's lair.

"Otherwise, let's send someone to Baoan Town, find the local elders, bring some strong men over, there are more people, it's easy to do things, now we don't have many people, let's start in the light, the thieves are in the dark, it's hard to guarantee that we won't suffer!" At this time, Zhang Liang also opened his mouth and suggested to Xing Zhutou.

Xing Zhutou groaned, looking a little nervous, these people are all dragging their families, if they die, although the county government will give some pensions, but that kind of pension is far from enough for their families to live the rest of their lives in peace and stability, and they can be safer, he still wants to be safer, after all, the work of arresting bandits usually looks majestic, and sometimes they will lose their lives at any time.

"I think this method is okay, find more people to come over to help, it's not bad, after all, it's a bit easy to defend and difficult to attack, our people are indeed a little less manpowered, and I don't know if there is a hard stubble on the thief's side, or Zhang Liang, you go for a trip, go to Baoan Town to find the elder to transfer some people to help!" Xing Zhutou's heart was a little active.

"It's not ......," Gao Huaiyuan said suddenly.
