After hiding the evidence, I turned over and caught up with Fan Hu and Han Song.

"No new evidence was found. Did you find anything? ”

"No," Fan Hu said, "it's the same as the last time I came to investigate. ”

Han Song also nodded and said, "No evidence other than the investigation record has been found. ”

At this time, Fan Hu had already pointed to the road ahead: "This is where the last few officials fell." Including one captain and five captains. ”

I nodded, "The captain and the captain are stronger, and they are protected by other officials, so it is reasonable that they died in the end. ”

Han Song said: "So it can be concluded that the thieves are attacking head-on in the middle of the gourd valley. Xu Gui saw that the situation was not good, so he had to retreat with the officials. But after all, he did not escape the poisonous hands. ”

Fan Hu said: "This also means that the thieves have gathered heavy troops here in the valley, and the real killers are here." waited until all the officials were killed, and the thieves attacked Xu Gui. ”

I sighed and said: "The thieves have a thorough plan, they are interlocking, and if we change us, we will suffer a big loss, and it will be difficult for Xu Gui not to die." ”

Han Song also sighed: "This thief is really a genius. It's sad and lamentable. ”

Fan Hu smiled and said, "Maybe it's a thief." When you kill someone, you are a thief, and after you kill someone, you may continue to be a good citizen. ”

I couldn't help but blush. Fei Fei laughed from the sidelines.

"This Fan Hu, I really love him to death."

"Cut, then you go and marry him."

"No, an NPC, you can't do anything, you can't do anything, you can't do it."

Fan Hu seemed to realize something: "Actually, the murderer is not necessarily a thief. Maybe Xu Gui caused trouble, and people had to have a reason to kill him. ”

Han Song smiled: "Yes, yes, some people tremble as soon as they become officials, and the tree is very popular." ”

I finally said: "No matter who he is, why did he kill Xu Gui, this case must be solved." By the way, what are the weapons that killed the official and Xu Gui? ”

"It's completely different from Xu Kun's case, and it's also different from Wan Mazi's case. Both the Xu Kun case and the Wan Mazi case had a master assassin, and the final fatal wound was all a knife to seal the throat. And the thieves who killed Xu Gui were all long-range attacks with bows and arrows. The worst is Xu Gui, who was shot like a hedgehog all over his body. ”

"Could it be that the Jinfan thief did it again?"

"There's a possibility. Under Gan Ning's command, the bow and arrow ability is very strong. If it's the Jinfan thief who is ambushing here, everything can be explained. ”

"But there is no evidence yet. This time, Xu Xuan will not be so resigned. I sighed.

"Yes, I said it was a Jinfan thief last time, and it was also a shame that Xu Xuan didn't have much theory at that time. It's hard to get through this time. ”

Han Song couldn't help but smile bitterly: "What are you two talking about?" When did you fool the history of Xu Thorn again? Fan Zhutou is like a god in judging the case, everyone knows it, and the iron case is like a mountain, how can it be confused. It's a shame that the people behind didn't hear it. ”

"Hehe, I'm speechless. Do you want to continue your investigation? ”

"Keep walking and see if you can find anything. By the way, there are people walking on the main road, but the thieves are ambushing on both sides of the road, do you want to take a look on both sides? No new discoveries can be made. I proposed.

Fan Hu patted his head: "Yes, even if it rains, because no one leaves, it will make those traces more obvious and not easy to be damaged." After all, there is no heavy rain in October, and there must be traces on the mountain. This is an oversight on the part of a subordinate. ”

Soon, on the slopes on both sides, sure enough, the traces left by the murderer were found. Because there are very few people walking here, the traces are very intact. From the hillside where Xu Gui was first ambushed, we deduced the location of the thief's ambush. Then I went up to check, and sure enough, there were hundreds of people's footprints.

Fan Hu suddenly stared at one of the footprints, and his gaze could no longer be taken away.

"Two adults, please see, this pair of footprints is going up, and the footprints next to it are exactly the same as this pair, but they are going down. What does this mean? If my guess is correct, there must be footprints further up. ”

Han Song and I both nodded: "Then let's look for it again." ”

Sure enough, we soon found a large number of footprints going up. And next to all the upward footprints, there are the same downward footprints.

"This means that when the thieves were ambushed from the beginning, they came from the main road." Han Song said.

"Let's look up a little further." I proposed.

Han Song and Fan Hu had no objections, so we went up again, and sure enough, we soon found that there were no footprints. Further up the mountain, it has nothing to do with the murder at all.

Then we surveyed the other side of the hill and came to the same conclusion.

"Now the remaining problem is to survey both sides of the valley." Again, I propose.

Han Song and Fan Hu agreed again. And this time here in Taniguchi, there is a new discovery.

"Two adults, let's take a look at these two sets of footprints." Fan Hu pointed to the newly discovered footprints.

Han Song and I took a closer look and laughed: "Haha, the thief has finally landed." ”

It turns out that although Taniguchi's footprints are the same as those on both sides, there are footprints on the way up and footprints on the bottom, but at this time the meaning of the representation is completely different.

You must know that the valley mouth is relatively narrow, and the thieves only need to stand on both sides to continue to attack Xu Gui with bows and arrows. According to Fan Hu's investigation of the scene at that time, the direction of the arrow on Xu Gui's body was completely consistent with the position of the thief he saw now.

This also means that before Xu Gui's death, the thieves only had footprints on the top, but no footprints on the bottom. By the time the thief came down, Xu Gui was already dead. The place where the thieves stood was a slope of vines, which could go straight down to any part of the road.

So in other words, where the thieves come down at this time means that they have to walk home. Judging from the fact that the thief left footprints everywhere but did not clean them, this person seems to be a novice, although his methods are vicious and sophisticated.

That is, he did not expect at all that the footprints on the hillside would reveal some of his secrets.

The thieves came from the front. That's what we concluded. And this coincides with the inference that this murder has nothing to do with the Quartet forces.

All three of them laughed, and immediately ordered, and the army passed through the gourd valley and went to the front to look for clues.

When the gourd valley goes out, the terrain is open, because there are not many players at this stage, so there are not many forks in the road except for the system road. This is very convenient for us to conduct a carpet search.

As I walked, I asked Xiang Yong to take a closer look at the grassy hillsides on both sides. As soon as there are footprints, come and report it. However, after exploring all the remaining roads and grassy hillsides in Xiangjiating, nothing was found.

At the same time, we have visited all the military camps in the area, and none of them has such a strong army of archers. Then he searched all the villagers, but found nothing either.

"Congratulations to the eldest brother-in-law, you can finally go out of Huarong." Fei Fei laughed.

I smiled, and then said to Fan Hu and Han Song: "At this point, it is already very clear that the thief really came from Jingling." ”

Fan Hu and Han Song both nodded: "Okay, let's go over and have a look." ”

The army crossed the border, which also meant that I had started a free tour of Jingling County.

But in less than five minutes, we finally found a clue by a small stream.

In the grass on both sides, the same footprints were exactly the same as the previous footprints. There is not much difference in the number, the same footprints of hundreds of people.

Obviously, after a long run and a long journey, the thieves finally got tired when they reached this creek. So they all went to rest in the grass on both sides, leaving their footprints.
