Meng Xing looked around, the houses around this alley seemed to not have many people, most of them seemed to be abandoned, and the houses were also very dilapidated.

"Although Changning County has a population of more than 100,000, most people still like to live in the north and east of the city, where the transportation is more developed, the goods trade is more complete, and the life is more convenient." Ding Haisheng said, seeing the doubt in Meng Xing's eyes.

Meng Xing nodded, when he walked all the way just now, the road here was relatively narrow.

"Meng Xing, do you see anything?" Zhou Ruoqing asked.

"Nope. The killer killed too fast and left no trace on the wall. Meng Xing shook his head.

"Aren't we here for nothing? If we had known this, we might as well walk around the streets, and maybe we would find traces of the Demon Gate. Gu Qingzhuo said.

"You can go around and walk around, no one will stop you." Meng Xing said.

Gu Qingzhuo frowned coldly and said, "Meng Xing, are you talking to a senior brother like this?" No politeness. ”

"Then I have to ask, senior brother, what is the process of solving the case?" Meng Xing said.

"The process of solving the case? I'm not solving the case, how do you know? Do you understand? Gu Qingzhuo said angrily.

"Although I don't know the specifics, I also know that when solving a case, it is necessary to carefully observe the scene, collect clues, and then make bold assumptions, reason and verify step by step, and solve the case." Meng Xing said.

Ding Haisheng was thoughtful and said, "Senior brother, what you said is very reasonable. Your words opened my eyes. In the past, I had no clue when I solved the case. I didn't expect you, a layman, to know so much. ”

Luo Yao and Ye Xuelian couldn't help but glance at Meng Xing, a little surprised, he knew a lot.

"I've never seen a pig run, but I've eaten pork. Although he has not experienced solving crimes, this process of solving crimes can often be seen on TV in previous lives. Meng Xing said in his heart.

"What does this have to do with the person who found the Demon Gate?" Gu Qingzhuo stiffened his mouth and said.

"Of course it does. Only by knowing more information can we know where the people of the Demon Gate have gone, and then find them. Meng Xing said.

"So do you know where they went? People are gone, can you still know? Gu Qingzhuo said unconvinced.

Everyone else looked at Meng Xing and looked at him, looking very confident.

"Of course. The footprints on the ground, after a few days, have been covered, so it is difficult to find them. But did you notice a detail?" Meng Xingdao.

"What details?" Li Buxian asked.

Without participating in the discussion, he felt that he was about to become a marginal figure, and he didn't look like the Dharma Protector who was the leader of the Seven at all.

"Look at the wall of this courtyard, is there a toe print? The mud had collapsed, and it had become a toe mark. ”

Meng Xing came to a courtyard wall next to him, pointed to an imprint that he couldn't find if he didn't look carefully, and said. Here's where he just observed.

"This shows that there is a person with relatively low strength who can't jump over it and has to rely on this wall to climb it, but this wall is also a little rotten, so a little bit will leave footprints." Meng Xing said.

"Could it be that all the people of the Demon Gate live in this courtyard?" Yang Xiaohammer said.

"Those people are definitely gone, they won't stay here." Luo Yao thought about it and said.

"That's right! They killed people in such a hurry, apparently there was something and would not stay here. However, it is possible for them to leave through this courtyard. What's behind the yard? Meng Xing finally asked.

"The back of the courtyard is close to the south gate, and from here it is much closer than the detour. So, they left through the South Gate? Ding Hai said.

"Yes, it's a great possibility. Moreover, these people are very familiar with this area, so they know that passing through the back gate of this courtyard can lead directly to the south gate. Meng Xing said.

After a pause, he added, "However, we still have to go in and search and see if we find anything." ”

"There's no need to search, we've searched all the houses around here, and there's nothing out of the ordinary. There is no one living in this courtyard either. The family who used to live there had already moved to the north of the city. Ding Hai said.

Meng Xing had three more options in front of him.

[1. Go in and search, and come out of the backyard. 】

[Second, beat Gu Qingzhuo. 】

[3. Say to Luo Yao: "Yaoyao, with the earth as the seat and the sky as the quilt, can we sleep together?" ”】

Meng Xing looked at Gu Qingzhuo, although he wanted to beat him up, but his cultivation was about to be exposed, and he had formed a feud, and it was not good to be remembered by the elders of the Law Enforcement Hall.

As for the third option, it is a love word that makes Meng Xing's scalp tingle, and it contains the meaning of lightness.

The two of them haven't written a word yet, and if they say it like this, they will only be scolded by the other party as a neurotic.

And there must be a lot of trouble in the follow-up, and it's not worth it to get rewards for those troubles.

So, Meng Xing chose the first item and said, "Go in and take a look, maybe there will be new discoveries." ”

Without waiting for the others to speak, he jumped onto the wall, looked inside the wall a few times, and saw no danger, so he jumped in.

Meng Xing had already entered, and the others had to leap in one by one, their cultivation was stronger than the third order shown by Meng Xing, so naturally they didn't need to jump onto the wall, but directly entered the courtyard.

The courtyard was paved with bluestones, and there was no wild grass, only some weeds spread out in the cracks.

All the way in, I didn't find any footprints, obviously, those people from the Demon Gate were also very careful, and the footprints and the like had been smoothed out.

Passed through the backyard, and then climbed over the wall to the south gate of the city.

[The quest has been completed, and a random reward will be obtained: Agility +1]

It seems that the simple task is really no danger, and the system is still reliable, leaving me room and not putting me in the pit to death. Meng Xing thought to himself.

"Meng Xing, what new have you discovered? Nothing, but let us run for nothing? Gu Qingzhuo asked.

"Absolutely. It's just that you didn't look closely. Meng Xing glanced at him and said.

"Humph! I don't believe it, you can still see it. Gu Qingzhuo was naturally unwilling to admit defeat.

"Just now we walked all the way and found that the yard was not very dilapidated, as if someone had cleaned the yard, especially the backyard, and planted some wild vegetables." Meng Xing said.

"What does that mean?" He looked at Gu Qingzhuo and asked.

"Does it mean that this was once the stronghold of the Demon Gate?" Gu Qingzhuo said.

"That's right! Senior Brother Gu, you are finally smarter. Meng Xing said.

Gu Qingzhuo didn't rejoice, glanced at him, and said coldly: "Could it be that my performance all along, in your opinion, is very stupid?" ”

"Yes, that's what you are!" Meng Xing complained in his heart.

But he said, "How come? Senior Brother Gu is a master of the Condensing Realm, and his talent is extremely high, so he will naturally not be stupid. ”

Gu Qingzhuo snorted at this time, and the cold expression on his face eased a lot.

"It seems that you are really very proud! My words can be regarded as saving your dignity and selling you a little face. Meng Xing thought to himself.

"What's next?" Ding Haisheng heard that Meng Xing, the little junior brother, had a clear analysis, and the results of the analysis were very reasonable, and he was very impressed, and unconsciously gave up his dominant position.

"Senior Brother Ding, the next soldiers will be divided into two ways. You send a few people to keep an eye on this courtyard to see if there's anything going on. Let's go to the southern outskirts of the city and search the surrounding villages. Meng Xing said.

"Okay." Ding Haisheng nodded, and then let the three subordinates stay here, and the others went to the outside of the city to investigate.
