After Wu Yu left, Qiao Biwei sat in the teahouse for a long time before leaving.

Lu Tingxiu lay on the side of Xia Qiu's bed for a while, and it was already dusk when he woke up. Xia Qiu was still unconscious, her breathing was very weak, and he even had the illusion that she was asleep forever.

If it weren't for the fact that her body was still soft, Lu Tingxiu would really believe it.

"Xia Chubby, wake up." Lu Tingxiu held her hand and gently stroked her face, his gaze changed from hope to gloom, "Didn't you say that you would marry me if you got rid of the puppet corpse?" Now that you're just one last step away, why are you holding back? ”

"If you don't wake up, aren't you afraid that I will be snatched away by other women?" Lu Tingxiu pinched her face, "You're not here, and there are many girls coveting me." I'm waiting for you to wake up and get rid of them all, I'm yours alone. ”

This means that there are no outsiders, otherwise he would have killed Lu Tingxiu, and he would not have been able to say such a stinky and beautiful word.

"Do you know, in fact, the last time you were unconscious, I wrote you a letter every day, wanting to wait for you to wake up and show you. Later, you really woke up, and I was embarrassed to take it out. As long as you wake up this time, I'll read it to you, okay? ”

"Also, aren't you worried about my money? I have private money behind your back, guess where I hid it? ”

"Lord Lu." Xu Mingming's voice sounded outside the door, "It's getting late, it's time for us to go." ”

Lu Tingxiu leaned over and kissed Xia Qiu on the cheek, "Xia Chubby, I'm scared at night now, you wake up quickly and protect me." ”

Xu Mingliang outside the door had goosebumps. Alas, don't look at the adults who usually pretend to be cold, but in fact, they have a deep affection for Sister Xia.

Getting up and tidying up his clothes, Lu Tingxiu and Xu Mingliang left, "Gather all the patrols, we have to deploy the team." ”

After eating, Er Qiao came to Wu's house to pick up Wu Yu. Dead horses should be live horse doctors, and there is no other way now.

Knowing that Wu Yu was going out at night, the Jin family was worried, "Can you not go?" ”

Wu Yu has made up his mind, "Whether it can help or not, I want to try." "If it was Xia Qiu, A-Niang wouldn't be so worried, right?

Those blocking words, when they came to their mouths, they couldn't be said. Jin Shi held her hand and advised: "You must take care of yourself, you can't be reckless." ”

Wu Ze wanted to go with her, but Wu Yu stopped: "You stay to protect my mother, there are two Qiao girls to protect me, and I won't have an accident." ”

Reluctantly sent her out of the house, the Jin family latched the courtyard door and then used a wooden pillar to hold it up.

It was dark and there was no one on the street except for the patrol.

Lu Tingxiu returned to the official mansion and listened to Zhou Bantou's report, his face was quite ugly, "How many people are missing?" ”

"So far, twenty-five people have gone missing." Zhou Bantou had goosebumps all over his body, "They all disappeared when they went out during the day." ”

"Are you sure you didn't go out of the city to join your relatives?"

"The family members who reported the crime have already checked and they have no plans to leave the city." Zhou Bantou felt incredible, "My lord, my subordinates have been carefully interrogated, and the missing people are all going out alone." They thought there would be no danger during the day, and who knows...... Something happened too. ”

"Did the guards out of the city ask?" Lu Tingxiu frowned slightly, "Did you find anything strange?" ”

"I also asked, there are a lot of people in and out, and they have also strengthened the investigation, but no abnormalities have been found."

"What about the remote and desolate part of the city?"

Zhou Bantou said truthfully: "During the day, I have sent someone to search all the corners, and there is nothing suspicious. ”

"What the fuck." Xu Mingming's scalp tingled when he heard this, and he slapped the table suddenly, "Is it possible that you can still grow wings and fly?" ”

In an eventful season, corpses are strange at night, and people are strange during the day.

Lu Tingxiu needed to calm down, and after Xu Mingliang and the others left, the secret guard appeared, "Your Excellency, everything is normal in Washington, and the cooks and housekeepers who went out have sent people to follow them, and they have not found out that they have contact with special people." ”

"Where's Hua Ting?" Lu Ting repaired his forehead.

"He has been drunk and dreaming of death in Lanxiang Courtyard for the past few days."

Lanxiang Courtyard, also known as Goolan Courtyard, is the property of the Hua family. Since Hua Feng's death, Hua Ting has sold everything he can, except for the gambling house and Goolan Courtyard.

These two places must be places of intelligence. During this period of time, Zhou Bantou has searched with great fanfare under various names, but he has not caught the handle.

It is strange to say that since Hua Feng's death, Hua Ting has changed his arrogance and domineering in the past, and he will unconditionally cooperate with any search by the government, and he will not allow the people below to make trouble.

If everything is too normal, it is not normal.

Following Hua Feng, it is an indisputable fact that Hua Ting became the accomplice of King Liang.

It's just that this rising star is more cunning than Hua Feng.

******

One night, Er Qiao followed Wu Yu around the city.

At first, Qiao Biwei was quite bearable, but later she couldn't help it, "Sister Wu, what's the situation?" ”

Qiao Yewei's hand holding the hilt of the sword loosened tightly, tightened.

Wu Yu squatted on the ground, holding his head tightly with both hands.

Qiao Yewei's forehead was bruised, "Still can't you?" "Her patience has reached its limit.

"That's a lot." Wu Yu gritted his teeth in pain.

"What's so much?" Qiao Bi was slightly anxious, "Where are they?" ”

Wu Yu could only feel a lot, but as for where, she was vague. It seems to be everywhere, but it is nowhere at all.

Is this human talk? Qiao Ye couldn't bear it anymore and quietly drew his sword.

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, and Qiao Biwei hurriedly held her hand.

Lu Tingxiu took Xu Mingliang and others out to patrol, and when he saw the three of them, he came up and asked, "Is there any news?" ”

Er Qiao was discouraged and set his eyes on Wu Yu.

It was not difficult for Lu Tingxiu to guess Er Qiao's exclusion and contempt for Wu Yu, he took a few steps forward to help Wu Yu up from the ground, and said softly: "It's enough for you to have this heart, even if there is no result, you don't need to blame yourself." ”

Wu Yu raised his head and looked at Lu Tingxiu's handsome and haggard features, "I'...... I think there are a lot of them, but I don't know where they are, so I feel like they're everywhere. ”

These words made everyone creepy.

"Everywhere?" Lu Tingxiu said calmly: "How far do you think they are from you?" ”

"That's it...... It's all around us. ”

Right by the side? The crowd was speechless.

Lu Tingxiu didn't think so, she and Xia Qiu Neng had the same consciousness, although her feelings were much weaker, it couldn't be outrageously wrong.

He couldn't help but look around, several high-rise buildings in the city had been arranged to be guarded, and there were patrols in the city, so it was impossible to escape once there was a storm.

Wu Yujing looked down and bowed his head, with mixed feelings in his heart.

Lu Tingxiu followed her gaze and looked underground.

Ground floor?

The city defense has been guarded by people, patrolling every other hour, and it is unlikely that something will go wrong.

But in addition to the layout of the city defense, there are drainage ditches underground.

"Come on, take the structural map of Lin County." How did he leave this place out?

The officials went and returned quickly, and quickly took the layout of the ditches in the city.

After taking the torch, Lu Tingxiu squatted on the ground, and sure enough, he saw the entrance of the ditch not far from here.

He outlined all the entrances to the ditches, "These places, especially the big ditches in the main city, send people down to inspect them immediately." ”

The officials organized patrols and immediately searched the drainage ditches throughout the city.
