Chapter V: Missing Persons

Xu Fan sensed that something was wrong, and immediately walked out of the darkness, and jumped into the backyard of the bun shop in a few jumps.

When you came, You Dongcheng explained to him, don't just stare at the door, if you go through the door, no matter how careful you are, you can't guarantee that you won't be discovered every time.

Originally, Xu Fan thought that she was saying that she would climb over the wall or something, but now that I think about it, there seems to be an idea that is more reliable, this woman should not have any secret passages to leave.

As soon as he entered the yard, Xu Fan began to listen carefully, and sure enough, there was no sound of half a person's breathing in the whole house.

"Looks like she's already gone." Xu Fan frowned, it seemed that he had made a mistake.

After looking around, he didn't find anything special, so he had to leave for the time being. God knows what kind of trap has been put in this, in case he doesn't want to move a leaf and cause Bao Shih Tzu to notice that someone has come in, it will be a big loss.

Returning directly to the inn, Xu Fan ordered a table of wine and food and began to eat and drink, he felt a little unhappy, and even failed the task of stalking.

After about an hour, You Dongcheng also returned, and he seemed to have gained something.

"What, didn't you look?" You Dongcheng asked.

Xu Fan nodded: "Anyway, if you suspect that there is a secret passage or something in her house, you should have said it earlier, I didn't react until a long time after she left, and at that time, people didn't know where the Dao had gone." ”

You Dongcheng smiled: "I can't be 100% sure, if not, wouldn't this divert all your attention, what if you made a mistake in other aspects?" ”

"Well, well, although I don't understand it, I always feel like you're mocking me," Xu Fan bit a big piece of meat angrily, "What about you?" What have you been doing most of the day? ”

"Since the raw material of those buns is human flesh. Then there is always a need to kill a lot of people. You Dongcheng looked at the meat on the table, and felt sick to his stomach, he didn't look like he wanted to eat at all, obviously disgusted. At this time, he was really envious of Xu Fan's rough nerves, and he ate so much.

"So, I went to investigate it to see if it is possible that some special groups of people will always go missing, especially if the frequency is similar to the frequency of Baozi Shih Tzu opening the door, you can roughly judge the real victim." You Dongcheng explained.

"So, did you succeed?" Xu Fan asked. Complex stuff he didn't bother to understand. It's easier to talk about the results directly.

You Dongcheng said: "It's okay, I bought a city guard captain and inquired about some things that ordinary people can't hear." ”

"Captain of the City Guard? Is it that easy to buy? Xu Fan asked in surprise.

"That's no problem," You Dongcheng nodded, "As long as you find a guy who is afraid of the inside to catch him when he cheats, who is an official in this year may concentrate on the yellow-faced woman at home, so this kind of thing is generally a catch." ”

"I see." Xu Fan thought about it, this is really the truth.

"Let's talk about what I found," you said in the East City. "I asked him, and I learned from him that although there were reports of missing people, there were not many cases where there were no bones or mutilated bodies."

"What do you mean? So where did those human flesh materials come from? Xu Fan was biting a bear paw when he asked this question. As a result, You Dongcheng was sick to his stomach again.

He hurriedly turned his head and said, "This is very understandable!" Because the dead are all guys who won't be reported even if they disappear. ”

"Be specific." Xu Fan said impatiently, this is not clear, and it is uncomfortable to listen to it.

"First of all, I don't know anyone in my local area. Or that there are people who will report to them after they disappear, and there are many such people in this capital," You Dongcheng explained. "It's not the locals, it's those who come to the capital from other places alone."

In this era, the capital as the most prosperous place in the whole country, is naturally the people's dream land, just like there are many Beipiao tribes and Shangjing tribes on the earth, there will be a lot of people here every day, eager to break out of their own sky, but often can't make a splash.

"Even if such a guy dies, it's like a bubble bursting, and he can't leave a trace," You Dongcheng took a glass of wine and said, "Of course, these are just my guesses, and they are not very accurate." ”

"Wouldn't the two of us be targeted?" Xu Fan asked. In the eyes of outsiders, the two of them also belong to the kind of guys who come to the capital to wander around, and they have no relatives and no reason, so they are not the best targets.

"Regarding this, I have also specially investigated, the strange thing is that there doesn't seem to be any disappearance of the candidates, even the kind of poor worm that can only live in the firewood room is alive and well, it seems that the scope of my circle is still a little larger," You Dongcheng rubbed his temples and said, "Their targets may have other characteristics." ”

"You're really interested," Xu Fan suddenly smiled, "Obviously it doesn't have much to do with you." ”

You Dongcheng just frowned and said, "Anyway, her behavior is disgusting to me, I don't like her, so I have to uproot her." ”

In fact, he also knew that it was impossible to do this kind of thing without the support of the general forces behind him, but he was not afraid at all, so he didn't care who was behind the woman, even if it was the emperor, he would completely destroy it.

"Since we can't find a way for her to leave, we might as well pretend to be the kind of person who comes alone and seduce them to do something to us," You Dongcheng thought of such a way after the most reluctant, "She didn't attack us, maybe there were too many targets, and she didn't choose us, but it was also possible that because the scientific examination was imminent, she didn't want to move the candidates, so she had to pretend to be a very ordinary country boy." ”

After speaking, he looked at Xu Fan.

The latter was eating, and suddenly noticed the sight, and looked at You Dongcheng strangely: "Huh? Why are you looking at me like that? ”

"I'll leave this difficult task to you, boy." You Dongcheng said earnestly.

"What am I for?"

"Who told you to fight, if I go to be a bait, what if I really get made into a bun?" You Dongcheng rightly showed off his slender hands that had no power to restrain the chicken.

"Count you ruthless!" Xu Fan rolled his eyes.

The next day, a dark-skinned, shabby-dressed man entered the city from outside the city gates, and as soon as he entered the city, he began to look for a job but ran into a wall, completely like a naΓ―ve boy who had just come from the country.

"Boss, are you hiring people here?" At the door of a fat powder shop opposite the bun shop, the dark man asked in a thick accent. (To be continued......)
