Chapter 42 Tracking the Suspect
Condensing his eyebrows, Yuan Hong found that there was a person in front of him who was also buying roast duck. He was in his early thirties, very tall, with an extraordinarily thick neck, and in a very uncoordinated way, his limbs were very thin, and his left leg was smaller than his right.
paid dozens of dollars, and the "thick neck" held half a roast duck, and walked away from the shop while gnawing.
Holding Lu Bingbing's icy little hand, Yuan Hong tiptoed to follow him.
Although he couldn't figure out why Yuan Hong did this, Lu Bingbing seemed to like his "confused" approach. Whenever Yuan Hong suddenly stopped and hid behind the wall, she would deliberately put her chin on Yuan Hong's shoulder.
Only caring about tracking, only thinking about fulfilling the thoughts in her heart, Yuan Hong's attention seemed to be long gone.
Afraid of being discovered by the thick neck, Yuan Hong kept a distance from him as much as possible.
After following him all the way to the west, about ten miles, a wide lake in the middle of the city suddenly appeared in front of him, and a thin wooden bridge winding for miles was built on the lake. At this time, the wooden bridge was under construction, but it was in its final stages, because the bridge deck was already sparsely populated.
Yuan Hong took a closer look again, and saw that the edge of the bridge had not yet been properly railed, and even if the chains around the edge had begun to be arranged, the lower part was only less than knee-high.
With a flash of inspiration in front of him, Yuan Hong let go of Lu Bingbing and quickly caught up with the thick neck that had just stepped on the thin wooden bridge.
After being close to him, suddenly, Yuan Hong's body leaned and fell directly to the lake. During this time, he grabbed the arm of the thick neck, held on to it, and deliberately dragged him into the lake, while not forgetting to deliberately pretend to be accidentally overboard, shouting "help" in his mouth.
After falling into the water, Yuan Hong did not sink immediately, but quickly glanced at his thick neck, and suddenly found that his left leg was actually floating!
"That's right, this is the wooden leg I'm looking for!"
Yuan Hong, who was extremely excited, almost shouted. The goal has been achieved, he wanted to climb the bridge immediately, but after thinking about it, he obviously pretended not to understand the water nature and just called for help, so it was better to play the trick to the end.
So, he stopped treading water, and drowned in the lake, revealing only one hand, holding it high, as a strong cry for help.
Although his ears were completely submerged, Yuan Hong could still hear the urgent cry for help on the bridge, and it was a female voice, so he didn't have to guess to know that it must be Lu Bingbing, a landlubber from the north who was eager to save people.
Soon, he was dragged to the shore by a large hand. He did not immediately open his eyes, but pretended to be in a semi-comatose state.
"Artificial respiration, I want artificial respiration. ”
"What does artificial respiration mean?"
"It's supposed to be the blow therapy in the ancient books. ”
Hearing Yuan Hong's faint voice, the crowd immediately boiled.
A moment later, suddenly a wind fell towards him from above, and Yuan Hong opened a slit slightly between his upper and lower eyelids, and found that the person who was slowly pouring down his face was actually a thick man.
He immediately grabbed the forehead of the big man with the palm of his hand, and pushed him away with force, and the broken words in his mouth were still the same: "I don't want artificial respiration without pricking people's beards." ”
A moment later, another faint wind fell, and he took a peek, and finally waited for Lu Bingbing.
Lu Bingbing's ruddy little mouth slowly leaned towards him, and just as he was about to reach it, he suddenly pinched his nose and deliberately shouted out of nothing: "I'm sweating, bad breath is really bad!"
Lu Bingbing, who was originally pregnant with the heart of a bodhisattva, couldn't wait to turn into a demon and swallow him alive at this moment.
Just as she was about to kick Yuan Hong, Yuan Hong suddenly got up and grimaced at Lu Bingbing.
Lu Bingbing's face was rosy, he stomped his feet vigorously, and said, "Bad guy." ”
Just as he Yuan Hong was about to ask who saved him from the shore and was about to say "thank you", suddenly, the big man who was about to take artificial respiration just now stretched out his hand to Yuan Hong and said lukewarmly: "I see that you are followed by a vampire girl, it's not easy, forget it, take one or two silver to show that it's enough." ”
Hearing this, Yuan Hong was taken aback, and Lu Bingbing stared at him even more, eager to beat him up.
Touching his pocket, Yuan Hong found that the two taels of silver he had originally carried on his body were gone, and he estimated that they had probably fallen to the bottom of the lake.
Probably seeing that Yuan Hong had no silver on him, Lu Bingbing threw a silver ingot on the ground and said angrily: "Na, this is two taels of silver, and I gave the remuneration of the two people who fell into the water together." What do you mean by a vampire girl? I'll have to cut out your tongue later!"
Maybe the rescuer saw Lu Bingbing's extraordinary momentum, he didn't fight back, only bent down and picked up the silver, and then walked away with a wry smile.
The thick neck of the pestle, which had been in place for a long time, took off his coat, twisted and twisted, and said for a while: "It's really unlucky to meet you, my half duck just ate a few bites, and it was lost." If it weren't for Lao Tzu's good mood today, he would definitely kill you!"
With that, he put his damp coat over his shoulders and continued steadily towards the bridge.
Yuan Hong took a closer look, and he found that although the thick-necked wooden-legged man had a prosthetic leg, his ability to maintain balance was no different from that of ordinary people. If he was really one of the murderers involved in the robbery and murder, it would be completely commonsense, after all, a person like him who walks freely is completely different from a cripple with limited mobility.
Under the premise of concealment, if you continue to follow closely, it is very easy to expose yourself, so that you will be startled, and it will be difficult to find sufficient evidence to prove the evil deeds of the wood-legged people.
Lu Bingbing took Yuan Hong and was about to continue to follow him, but was stopped by Yuan Hong.
He warned Lu Bingbing that the wooden-legged man at this time must have been alert to the two of them, after all, he was suspected of deliberately looking for trouble by taking him into the water "homeopathically". In the absence of covering
As soon as she heard that the wooden-legged man might have evil deeds, Lu Bingbing was shocked, and she had to ask Yuan Hong to explain it to her.
Sure enough, Lu Bingbing is just Lu Bingbing, she doesn't know Yuan Hong enough enough, and she can't know what Yuan Hong cares about all the time.
If it were replaced by Liang Yun'er, she would never go along on the surface, because she cared about Yuan Hong's inner thoughts. For example, when Yuan Hong singles out an opponent of similar strength, she will definitely stand by and wait for his masterpiece, unless the battle situation is not against him. When he suddenly fell silent, she could immediately know that her senior brother was thinking about something, so she wouldn't bother easily.
Facing the landing Bingbing, Yuan Hong told her the reason for the Changyang City dart robbery case, and bluntly said that now he is only sixty percent sure that the thick-necked wood-legged man is one of the murderers of the dart robbery case, and more sufficient evidence needs to be collected now. If the murderer is really him, he must be brought to justice!
Lu Bingbing was stunned for a while, and praised Pei Zhao for not seeing the wrong person, a talent like Yuan Hong is hard to find, but the hairstyle is too ugly.
Grinning helplessly, Yuan Hong pointed to the boat moored by the lake and said, "That boat has a canopy, which can just play a sheltering role." Now the wooden-legged man has walked two miles away, and there is still half of the journey to reach the other side of the lake. It's just that he took a tortuous detour, and we just happened to be able to take a boat in a straight line and approach him as soon as possible. ”
Lu Bingbing nodded, walked with him to the lake, paid two hundred yuan to the ferryman, and gave an explanation.
The ferryman said "Okay", lowered the anchor of the boat, led Yuan and Lu to the boat, and chased after them without hurrying or slow.
By the time the wood-legged man stepped onto the opposite shore, the boat was half a mile behind him. Seeing that the wooden-legged man was about to turn left, Yuan Hong asked the ferryman to speed up.
Soon, the boat arrived on the shore, and Yuan Hong led the landing Bingbing out of the boat and quickly caught up.
Quickly passing through the east-west alley and stepping on the bustling streets in the north-south direction, Yuan Hong found that the wooden-legged man was continuing to walk south. At this time, they were about forty feet away from the wooden-legged man.
Seeing that the wood-legged people turned back from time to time, they had to control the speed of the pursuit, and if necessary, they had to find shelter to cover them.
After following for half an hour, suddenly, the wooden-legged man turned right and walked into the alley due west.
Seeing this, Yuan and Lu hurriedly quickened their pace and rushed to the corner.
Sticking to the wall, Yuan Hong poked his head out and found that this small alley running east and west was extremely narrow, so narrow that it could not accommodate two people running side by side. Not only that, but the alley was very dilapidated and deadly silent, and there were no other pedestrians in it except for the wooden-legged people.
Yuan Hong's intuition told him that what he was doing was in the right direction.
Suddenly, the wooden-legged man suddenly turned left and went straight into the alley leading to the north and south.
Yuan and Lu quickly followed up, hiding their bodies while slowly poking their heads out, observing all the movements in the alley where the wooden-legged man was.
This alley is also very dilapidated and dead, the difference is that in addition to the wooden-legged man, there is another person in this alley, a sneaky and flustered young man. He was sitting on a rock, but when he looked up and saw the wooden-legged man walking towards him, he suddenly stood up, still holding a small sack in his arms.
The scene in front of him was only about ten zhang away from Yuan Hong's poking out head, so Yuan Hong could see it very clearly, the sack was bulging, and he didn't know what good things were filled.
Approaching the young man with the sack in his arms, the wooden-legged man suddenly stopped and turned his head to look.
Fortunately, Yuan Hong reacted quickly enough, immediately retracted his head, and pressed Lu Bingbing's head back as well.
After a moment, he poked his head out again, staring carefully at what was in front of him.
"Hey, Lord Detective, what did you say was in this sack that made these two people sneaky to such a degree. It shouldn't contain the head that the employer is asking for, right?" Lu Bingbing said in a low voice.
Hearing this, Yuan Hong shook his head in disappointment, thinking: Although this Lu Bingbing is very skilled, he is too brainless. The little junior sister can be more or less assisted in terms of insights, and this Lu Bingbing is simply a donkey compared to her. Hey, in addition to cultivation and exercises, she can only be equal to the little junior sister in terms of appearance.
Yuan Hong ignored her, only made a gesture to cover her mouth, and continued to stare at the two people in front of him.
The young man put the sack into the hands of the wood-legged man, and after a whisper, he turned and walked south.
The wooden-legged man reached for the small sack and took out a large bundle of silver tickets. At the same time, he also took out a white piece of paper about the size of a silver ticket from the middle of the bundle of silver tickets. Moving his lips, the wooden-legged man seemed to be silently muttering something.
Yuan Hong was deeply surprised by this......
