Chapter 104: Footprints

Although he didn't say a word, He Yang immediately understood. He nodded at Ye Chen, he had already drawn out the short knife in his hand, ready to attack.

At this time, the person next door may be eavesdropping on the conversation of several people, although Lin Xiaoxiao did not react immediately, but seeing the reaction of He Yang and Ye Chen, her expression also became serious, and she stood beside the three of them, ready to respond to sudden changes at any time.

Ye Chen walked quietly to the door, stood sideways by the wall, and quietly opened the door with one backhand.

He Yang and Lin Xiaoxiao's hearts both mentioned their throats, and Ye Chen's palms were sweaty because of nervousness.

Fortunately, there was no one outside the door, Ye Chen stretched out his head and looked at the corridor carefully, the dim corridor was as silent as death in the middle of the night.

Ye Chen's divine sense swept over, and it seemed that there was no one.

With a relaxed breath, he looked at He Yang and Lin Xiaoxiao, and motioned for the two to follow.

The three of them tiptoed to the end of the corridor, Ye Chen turned around and saw He Yang and Lin Xiaoxiao's nervous and serious expressions, and suddenly felt as if his group was more like a stab.

Boom β€”β€”!

Ye Chen did not hesitate, his body suddenly exerted force, and slapped the door with one palm, and under a loud noise, he saw that the wooden door turned into a pile of wood fragments.

Then the immortal bones were the first to rush in, followed by He Yang.

But the people in the room reacted very quickly, and before Ye Chen could keep up, he heard a muffled sound from the room, and then Immortal Bone and He Yang flew out of the room upside down.

Ye Chen's eyes quickly supported He Yang from behind, and Bu Gu directly smashed the other wooden door under the impact to stop his body.

Kengβ€”β€”

A mechanical voice came into Ye Chen's ears, why was this sound so familiar?

Ye Chen's brows tightened when he heard this, but then he immediately reacted, isn't this sound the sound of a gun being loaded!

At the moment, he didn't have time to think about why such a sound came from the room, Ye Chen's arms were rounded, and with a slap, the whole body of He Yang, who was rushing towards the room, flew out sideways.

He Yang in the air had a suspicious expression in his eyes, and he didn't understand why the boss suddenly made a move on him.

Seeing He Yang fly out, Ye Chen grabbed Lin Xiaoxiao with his other hand and ran.

As soon as the two of them crossed the dark door, they heard several swishing sounds flying past their ears, and Ye Chen even felt a chill on the back of his neck, something flying past his neck.

The voice came and went as fast as they could, and when they turned around, it had stopped abruptly.

Only the dense crossbow arrows tell everything that has just happened, and it is not an illusion.

Goodo......

He Yang looked at the crossbow arrows that were stuck all over the ground, and spit under his eyes, if it wasn't for Ye Chen's quick reaction just now, he would probably have been shot into a porcupine.

Lin Xiaoxiao also had palpitations, at this moment, the immortal bones that were known for their defensive power were pierced by the crossbow arrows and nailed to the ground.

It's not hard to imagine what would have happened if these bolts had been shot directly at several people.

"Count your fate, get out of here quickly, or you won't miss next time......" A hoarse voice also came from the room, and then a broken window sounded.

Ye Chen hurriedly got up, rushed into the room with a knife, but it was already empty, he walked to the window and looked outside, the road was already empty.

"Boss, are we going to continue to investigate?" The three of them searched for clues left by the man in the room, and He Yang couldn't help but speak.

Lin Xiaoxiao also set her eyes on Ye Chen, although the starting point for the three of them to intervene in this matter was good, but after such a toss tonight, it was inevitable that they would retreat.

"......" Ye Chen was silent for a while, he didn't know how to answer, if he continued to investigate, what happened to his good brother and Lin Xiaoxiao, how is it good, he is not afraid of death, but others can't.

"Boss, don't get me wrong, I'm not afraid of death, I just think that Lin Xiaoxiao follows us like this, in case something misses......"

He Yang was afraid that Ye Chen would misunderstand what he meant, so he pointed to Lin Xiaoxiao next to him.

"Don't you want to leave me and bring me here from Fengdu City, how can Miss Ben be the one who is greedy for life and afraid of death?"

"Auntie, haven't you seen the end of the bones? If you really want to do it, we are afraid that we will not be able to protect your safety, so don't follow and cause trouble......" He Yang persuaded bitterly.

"I don't care, as long as you continue to investigate, you have to take me with you, don't always feel like I'm like an oil bottle!"

…………

The two of you said a word, Ye Chen finally couldn't help but speak.

"Okay, don't argue, since this matter is managed, it is natural to have a beginning and an end, if you are scared by the other party, you will become a turtle with a shrunken head and walk away with your tail between your legs, then how will you behave in the future, even you will look down on me, right?"

With that, he looked back at the two of them before continuing.

"But......" Ye Chen continued to speak, "As my best brother and closest friend, I really don't want to see you get hurt in any way, even if it's not at all, I hope that from now on, you can think before you act, and be able to listen to my words, I will do my best to protect your safety." ”

"If anyone hurts you, I will never let him go! I will punish those who released cold arrows just now! ”

The two looked at each other and smiled, this is what the boss should be.

The three of them turned the room upside down, but the man looked like a real ghost, and there was not even a trace of it.

There is no hair, no missing items, clothes, even the bed is clean, there is no trace of sleep, it seems that this person is specially to deal with his group of three, so he has no intention of resting at all.

The only trace was a footprint by the window, which Ye Chen found after looking at it by candlelight for a long time.

Seeing Ye Chen staring at the window and not speaking, He Yang also leaned down with a candle in his hand.

"Boss, what are you looking at?" He Yang asked.

Ye Chen pointed to the footprints on the ground with his finger, "This shouldn't be our footprints, it should be left by that person just now." ”

He Yang frowned, looked carefully for a long time, and only then did he see clearly on the dark ground that there was indeed a footprint left, but this didn't mean anything.

"A footprint, what's so good to look at......" Lin Xiaoxiao heard the conversation between the two and followed suit.

Ye Chen smiled, after all, this is ancient times, of course it is difficult to judge anything with a footprint, but for a person who has crossed over, a footprint is enough to analyze many problems.

"You can tell me that footprints can actually tell a lot of problems. The height of the man is about seven times that of the footprints, and from the length of the footprints, the height of the man is about eight feet, and from the lines of the footprints, it can be seen that the other person is wearing boots, which is rare in such a poor country, and it is rare to see people who can wear boots......"

"With the hoarse voice of the person just now, and the shopkeeper said that the other party is an old man, we only need to search for the hoarse voice, eight-foot-tall and well-off old man in the villages and towns, and then everything will naturally have an answer."

Ye Chen analyzed by himself, and He Yang and Lin Xiaoxiao listened to the big eyes and small eyes, and they were stunned for a moment.

When did the boss learn the means to solve the case?

"Boss, you're too awesome, just one footprint, you judged the other party? Is it really okay? He Yang asked in disbelief, but it's no wonder that in Ye Chen's previous life, these things were just knowledge that could be obtained everywhere in books and the Internet, but in this ancient world, naturally no one would be able to understand it.

"Why don't I believe it......" Lin Xiaoxiao looked at Ye Chen and couldn't help but speak, although listening to Ye Chen's analysis, she still had a trace of suspicion.

After all, a person's approximate can be traced from a footprint, how to hear it feels fantastical.

"Hehe, believe it or not, put it down for the time being, tomorrow we will follow my clues, and the answer will naturally come out at that time." Ye Chen saw the reaction of the two, and he didn't explain too much, and when the answer came out, it would naturally come out.

The next day, Zheng Heze woke up from a hangover and saw how he slept in the guest room, and he didn't react for a while.

After a while, I remembered that I had been drinking with those three strangers yesterday.

But when he went out, he looked at the corridor of his inn and was stunned, this inn was a war last night?

Although Ye Chen and the three of them cleaned up all the crossbow arrows, the holes on the ground and the wall really could not be restored, as well as the wooden door that was smashed by Ye Chen's palm, the wall that was knocked down by the bones, and the entire corridor was in a mess.

"My old elm door of Ashwaganda Liutai......" Zheng Heze looked at the mess and wanted to cry without tears.

At this time, Ye Chen walked out of the room in a daze.

"Yo, shopkeeper Zheng, it's early!" Ye Chen saw the shopkeeper at this moment, and directly changed his name to be the shopkeeper.

"Well, what's going on, you know?" Zheng Heze pinned his hopes on Ye Chen and asked.

But Ye Chen pretended not to know anything, and he didn't know anything.
