At first, Wu Zhiyuan didn't notice this strange scene, but when he was about to walk into the restaurant, he suddenly found that the vegetable stall next to the restaurant was surrounded by a group of old men, and the big men went out to buy vegetables It was really fresh, Wu Zhiyuan couldn't help but stop and watch, only to find that none of the pedestrians coming and going on the whole street were women!

After pondering for a long time, Wu Zhiyuan walked into the restaurant, which was a small restaurant, which sold noodles and cheap wine and side dishes.

Wu Zhiyuan sat down at a table near the door, and when the shopkeeper brought a pot of hot tea, and when he picked up the teapot and poured water, Wu Zhiyuan found that all the diners in the restaurant were throwing strange glances at him, and when he saw that Wu Zhiyuan was paying attention, he lowered his head to eat noodles one after another, pretending to be nothing.

Wu Zhiyuan was puzzled, a figure flashed out at the door of the restaurant, he stared at it, it was actually the shopkeeper, it was lunch at this time, there were more guests eating, how could the shopkeeper leave the restaurant at this time?

Immediately afterwards, the diners in the restaurant seemed to have received some kind of guidance, and as if they had made an appointment in advance, they put down their dishes and chopsticks one after another, got up from their seats as if they were in trouble, and rushed out of the door of the restaurant.

This situation is a bit strange, Wu Zhiyuan has a precaution in his heart, puts the customer back on the table, turns his head and sees that the guests in the restaurant are almost gone, only the shopkeeper behind the account is looking at him restlessly.

Wu Zhiyuan felt that the situation was abnormal, so he picked up the peachwood sword on the table and walked out of the door, just walked to the door and heard the noise of people on the street, chickens and dogs jumping, and at the same time the sound of neat footsteps came from not far away, Wu Zhiyuan looked to the west of the street, only to see a team of policemen coming in the direction of the restaurant, in front of the team was an officer riding a tall horse, the officer's whip was thrown down from time to time, the pedestrians on the street dodged one after another, and the stall owners on both sides of the street also hurriedly began to collect the stalls, as if there was about to be a fierce battle.

The police are officers and soldiers recruited by the provisional government formed to maintain local law and order after the warlord forces occupy one side, and they are different from the soldiers of the army, but the police are equipped with guns, although they are the lowest rifles, and they need to change a bullet to shoot, but if there are a large number of people, it is difficult to escape if they form a situation of encirclement. At this time, this group of policemen was loaded with guns, and the number of them was about 30 people, and it should be that all the security personnel in this town were dispatched.

This team of military police is menacing, and it happened to appear in this place, although it is impossible to guess all kinds of reasons for a while, I still vaguely feel that the appearance of this group of people is related to him, and the other party will never be kind.

With this in mind, he returned to the restaurant, went straight to the account counter, pointed at the shopkeeper who was panicking with the peachwood sword in his hand, and shouted angrily: "Is there any other exit to this restaurant?" ”

"Yes, yes, turn right through this side door, and there is a wooden fence in the backyard." The shopkeeper seemed to be very afraid of Wu Zhiyuan, and he was already trembling with fright, and when he heard this, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and pointed to a curtain on the side.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't understand why the shopkeeper was so afraid of himself, and he didn't have time to study it in detail at this time, so he thanked him, opened the curtain and walked into the side door, turned right through the narrow corridor, and sure enough, it went straight to the backyard, and there was a tattered thorn fence on the north wall of the backyard, Wu Zhiyuan pushed open the fence and rushed out.

If the policemen were really coming for themselves, the officer on horseback would definitely go into the restaurant to interrogate Wu Zhiyuan's whereabouts, the shopkeeper was so timid, he would definitely tell the truth, Wu Zhiyuan's body was no different from ordinary people, in such a short time interval, it was naturally impossible to escape the round-up of this group of police, and blindly escaping was never a way, in order to escape the inexplicable pursuit and figure out the reason for this matter, Wu Zhiyuan decided to risk his life and return to the front street of the restaurant to find out what was going on.

The most dangerous place is often the safest, as Wu Zhiyuan expected, soon after he came out of the fence, the police chased him out, but Wu Zhiyuan did not run far, but bypassed the restaurant, directly to the front street, there are not many people on both sides of the street, in this era of chaos, people are not in the mood to pay attention to things that have nothing to do with themselves, and it is more important than anything else to save their lives, so at this time there are only a few stall owners on the street, and they have not had time to close their stalls, just protect their stalls, Frightened, he stood aside and didn't dare to speak.

The policemen were now lined up in two lines, facing the restaurant, one team in front was half-kneeling, and the other team was standing in the back, all of them holding their rifles, and the muzzles of their guns were pointed at the restaurant. Wu Zhiyuan quietly walked around to the corner of the street behind the team, and no one found his trace.

There were a large number of stall owners and pedestrians on the street, but everyone was afraid to take a breath, so it was very quiet, and at this time the sound of talking came from the restaurant.

"Report to the captain, no trace of the flower thief has been found!" According to the report, it may have been the policemen who chased the fence to speak.

"Shopkeeper, didn't you say that the flower thief ran away from the back door?" A dragging accentuated voice asked.

"Yes, yes, captain, the little one is telling the truth, he, he was holding that sword and forcing me to ask me, the little one didn't dare to say half a lie, captain." The shopkeeper's trembling voice came out.

"Well, you guys, search everywhere!" After a moment of silence, the captain's voice rang out again.

"Yes!" Immediately afterwards, there was the sound of tables and chairs overturning in the restaurant, mixed with the cry of the shopkeeper.

"Report to the captain, I didn't find it!" After a while, the sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets stopped.

The captain said "um" and said: "The shopkeeper, that flower thief is a key criminal to be arrested in the police station, and he is guilty of the same heinous crimes as the Manchu remnants, and he is guilty of capital crimes for harboring and harboring. ”

"Yes, yes, the little one knows." The shopkeeper hurriedly replied.

"Don't worry, captain, if you see the trace of that lewd thief again, the little one will definitely report to you again." This voice seemed familiar, and when Wu Zhiyuan recognized it carefully, he remembered that it was the voice of the electric little two.

It turned out that he really went to tell the secret.

"Okay, let's get the team up." As soon as the captain's voice fell, a policeman at the door turned around and shouted to the two teams of people on the street: "Close-"

Wu Zhiyuan hurriedly squatted down in the corner of the wall, and at the same time hid the peachwood sword behind him.

An officer of medium stature came out of the diner, turned on his horse, and headed west, followed by a group of marches in order.

The flow of people in the street began to stir, and many people began to discuss what the captain called "flower pickers".

"This flower thief has reappeared...... "A stall owner next to him sighed.

"No, it's going to be a big mess this time......" answered the pedestrian who had no time to leave.

"I don't have a daughter at home, I'm afraid of what he does, and he doesn't make money." The stall owners began to set up their stalls again.

"Those who have daughters have suffered, and there are not a few yellow flower girls who have been harmed by him...... Hey, I heard that he also slept with the handsome fourth aunt? The pedestrian asked in a low voice.
