The inspection department of the county governor's mansion is not big, an independent small courtyard, it seems deserted, there are a few small cubicles inside, and when Lu Le walked into the courtyard, one person happened to come out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"This Taoist priest is also here to take over the mission?" Lu Le, who was keenly aware, felt that the Taoists passing by him were not simple, but he was not interested in getting to the bottom of it.
"Why, the monk also came to receive the task?" The head catcher of the Inspection Division looked at Lu Le and asked with interest.
"What a Taoist priest does, can't a monk do?" Lu Le thought about the back of the Taoist priest before, and asked with a smile.
"Haha, what the little monk said is wonderful! My surname is Zhao, just call me Zhao Zhutou. That is ...... be so," the head catcher smiled, took out a page of official documents, and read, "A few guys have disappeared recently in the Yuelai Inn in Hedong Town, but there are important things in Xihe these days, and the brothers have dispersed to maintain order, and I don't have any extra manpower at hand to mobilize, so please trouble the monk to go on a trip, there are major clues to consistently, and the reward for solving this case is five times, and the innkeeper has an additional bounty." ”
"This ...... Didn't the little monk hear that the Inspection Division issued a search mission? ”
The task given by the Inspection Department caught Lu Le off guard, as a Roman foreign mercenary for four years, he came to the Inspection Department and thought it was a task to fight and kill, but he didn't expect to receive a criminal investigation, Lu Le, who was self-aware, knew that he didn't have this ability, no way, the profession was not right, and the mercenary couldn't be transferred to the people's police.
"That's a coincidence, I haven't had any arrest missions in Xihe lately. If it's an ordinary thief, do you still need your people to do it if you know where people are? If you are a Jiangyang thief, you must also know that during this time, I heard that Wang Xiaozhen's name had already run away, and my Xihe was too peaceful! ”
It's Wang Xiaozhen again, Lu Le heard the name of Xihe hero Min Buping in the forest not long ago, and borrowed the name of Xiaozhenren to suppress the arrogance of Hua Laowei, who was stronger than him.
"What? The little monk can't do this case? Seeing Lu Lepestle there, the head catcher in the hall frowned and said.
"The monks don't speak, and the little monk is not very sure, so he can only try his best." It's also the most profitable means, and since there is no task for a high-level thug, you can only take it first.
"Humph! Monk, don't blame me for not reminding you, you can try, but don't delay the business, if there are clues to report in time, there is no progress within three days, I can only withdraw you, a layman, and release it separately. ”
"Human life is at stake, this is nature." Lu Le nodded.
"Human life ......" said the catcher's face was slightly gloomy, "I hope I am still alive, please ask the monk to go to Hedong Town quickly and talk to the innkeeper." ”
"The little monk said goodbye." Lu Le did not hesitate, turned around and walked out of the Inspection Division, heading towards Hedong Town.
"Zhao Bantou, this case is obviously strange, you send a stunned young man, it's unreliable, right?" As soon as Lu Le left, the official who was dealing with official business next to the head catcher couldn't help but ask.
"It was precisely because of the strange reason that I sent this monk to go, what I wanted was to scare the grass and snakes." That Zhao Zhutou's face was unfathomable, he took a sip of tea with a smile, and said, "Don't worry, I have prepared a backhand." ”
……
Hedong Town is the town when Lu Le came, running back and forth, and it took some time, and when he arrived at the Yuelai Inn, it was noon. There were more than a dozen tables of martial arts people eating in the inn, urging the store to serve wine and food, but there was only one shopkeeper who ran the hall, tired and sweating profusely, obviously understaffed by the disappearance case.
Lu Le came to the counter and explained his intention to the anxious shopkeeper.
"So the master is here to investigate this matter? It's kind of looking forward to you! The shopkeeper was overjoyed, and quickly asked Lu Le to sit down, complaining bitterly, "Don't hide it from the master, my Yuelai Inn has been doing well recently because of Wang Xiaozhenren, but this happened to me, so I was really anxious, for fear that there would be not enough manpower and offend all the heroes." ”
"It's just ......" At this time, the shopkeeper saw that the monk in front of him was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and suddenly hesitated, "Please don't blame the little master, you are really from the Xihe County Governor's Mansion?" ”
"Don't panic, the little monk is entrusted by Zhao Zhutou of the Xihe Inspection Department to investigate this matter, and please ask the shopkeeper to talk carefully, whether it is successful or not, there is a saying, if the little monk is powerless, he will return to Zhao Zhutou and let him send another talent."
Since he said this, the shopkeeper also knew that there would be no one on the other side of the West River for a while, so he opened his mouth and said what he saw, and he had the right to be a dead horse as a live horse doctor.
"This happened three days ago, because there have been more guests staying in the hotel recently, so I discussed with a few guys in the store to double the salary and let them take turns for a few nights, so that the guests can call at any time, except for the two boys of the Ma family who want to go home to take care of their mother, the others agreed, I gave them a few shifts, and left. The next morning, Xiao Lao'er came to the store from home, and the second man who was supposed to be on duty in the middle of the night was not at the counter, and Xiao Lao'er was very angry at that time, saying that he would gather the guys in the store and deduct his salary in person. ”
"I didn't expect it to be, when the little old man gathered people, only the second man was missing, I just said that the two men were lazy, and took the opportunity to run home to make up for sleep, but I didn't care, but I just announced in front of the guy that he would deduct his salary for this month."
"In the evening, the second boy has not come back, I found his door, the second boy and his father said that the little king and the eight lambs have not come back yet, and the little old man has not taken it seriously at that time. Just because the two men have a habit of gambling, from time to time to go to the Xihe Gambling House to play two hands, at that time I recruited him is also to see that others are still smart, hands and feet are clean, when the business is not busy, see him sneak to the county seat, but also turn a blind eye and follow him, sometimes a go is two or three days, the money in the pocket is all lost before willing to come back. ”
"At this time, the second boy was gone, and I was angry that this bastard boy was not sensible, and he was so busy with business and lazy, so he didn't take it to heart. Not long after going home and falling asleep, he was woken up by a knock on the door, it turned out that the Li family Erlang, who was on duty in the first half of the night, came to him, and when the little old man opened the door, the child of the Li family was out of breath, and said that there was a ghost, and the little old man couldn't listen to anything good, so he could only give him a slap in the face, and then sat on the ground and trembled, saying that his brother Li Mi was gone. ”
At this time, the little old man still didn't believe it, thinking that Li Jiaerlang was confused, and he was going to go to the inn with Li Erlang, who knew that the kid was so frightened that he turned blue and didn't want to go back to the inn. The little old man had to ask him what happened, then Li Er said that it was the time to take the shift, after he and his younger brother handed over, he went to the room to eat, and when he came back, he was not sleepy, so he talked to his younger brother, how do he know that the old man did not make a sound, and when he looked up, where was there any younger brother opposite, he saw a white shadow floating outside the window, and he was so frightened that he quickly ran out of the inn and found the little old man's house. ”
"Xiao Lao'er has been opening an inn here for some years, and he knows some things on the rivers and lakes, Li Er has little knowledge, and Xiao Lao'er is not panicking, there are a few people living in the inn alone, and he said a few words, persuaded Li Er, and returned to the inn with him, and indeed disappeared Li Jia'er, but this black light can't be found, Xiao Lao'er and Li Er stayed together in the second half of the night, and the night was safe."
"After dawn, I and Li Er looked for it in the inn, and invited the guests to help together, and I worked hard for a long time, but I didn't find Li Er, seeing that Li Er was really sleepy, I asked Li Er to go home first to make up for sleep, and the little old man continued to look for it."
"During the day, I took turns with the two sons of the Ma family, and took turns to go out and ask the neighbors, but I didn't ask for any trace of Li Er. When the store closed, I went to Li Er's house, and wanted to ask Li Er if there were any omissions, but I didn't expect to go to Li's house and meet Li Er, Li Er, his father, Li Laohan, only to know that Li Er had never returned home at all. When Li Laohan heard me say this, he mobilized all the neighbors to look for him, whether it was Li Er, Li Mi, or the earlier Er, all of them were missing! Xiao Lao'er only knew that something big had happened at this time, and hurriedly sent someone to the county seat to report to the official, but there was no one waiting for the left and right, which made Xiao Lao'er worry all night, and he didn't even dare to go to the inn at night. ”
