Volume 1: The Case of Linzhou Genius Chapter 21: Walking the Water

"Something happened to Mr. Duan?" Xing Qianqiu's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice: "What the hell is going on!" ”

"When Mr. Duan returns today, I will take him to the place where the thief is." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice: "I never thought that as soon as we left the city, we were ambushed by gangsters. ”

"There are many gangsters, and I am invincible alone, so I let Mr. Duan leave first."

"I never thought that when I forced the gangsters to look for Mr. Duan, I only found Mr. Duan's horses. Mr. Duan is missing! ”

"I searched around for a long time but didn't find any trace of Mr. Duan, and I wondered if Mr. Duan came back first, so I deliberately came back to take a look."

"Damn!" Xing Qianqiu's brows were tightly knit, his face was full of anger, but there was nothing he could do.

"Commander, what's going on with the thieves? Can they confess? Liu Zhi asked.

"That's just an ordinary bandit!" Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "I don't know what this case is going on at all!" I have had them escorted to prison and interrogated severely. ”

"Your Excellency!" Just then, a servant ran in.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Xing Qianqiu and Liu Zhi, and then said to Liu Zhi: "My lord, then Old Man Liu closed the shop ahead of schedule today and went to the Immortal Sect to participate in the Fa. The subordinates waited for a long time and did not buy it. ”

"Well, alright." Liu Zhi nodded, and then explained to Xing Qianqiu: "Mr. Duan wants to eat Old Man Liu's steamed buns, so I deliberately sent him to buy them before leaving. ”

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then said in a deep voice: "Pass the order, everyone will go out, and they will inevitably find Mr. Duan!" To live to see people, to die to see corpses! ”

"Yes!" Everyone in the courtyard shouted at the same time.

Glancing at the morgue on the side, Liu Zhi immediately retracted his gaze.

He knew that this was not the best time to go in and look for it, so he had to wait later.

Soon, a few hours passed, and Xing Qianqiu went from house to house, but still found nothing.

asked the soldiers guarding the city and the soldiers patrolling, but they all said that they had never seen Duan Ming's figure.

"Your Excellency." A Spiegel official said to Xing Qianqiu: "Didn't Lord Liu say that they were attacked outside the city? Could Mr. Duan be outside the city? ”

"No, it won't." Xing Qianqiu shook his head, and glanced at the official next to him with deep eyes, his name is Zhao Yunlong, and he can be regarded as a person with a better mind in the Spiegel Division, but he still lacks experience.

"Recently, the Spiegel Division has focused on searching the surroundings of Linyang City, and there are no other forces outside Linyang City except for that group of bandits." Xing Qianqiu explained: "Therefore, the other party's lair must still be in the city, in other words, Mr. Duan must be in the city." ”

"It's also possible that when we were encircling and suppressing that gang of bandits, the thieves escaped from Linyang City." Zhao Yunlong asked puzzledly, "Then grab Mr. Duan and continue to escape." ”

"If that's the case, they should try to avoid exposure." Xing Qianqiu said: "And will not rashly attack Liu Zhi and Mr. Duan." ”

"Besides, the bandits know that we are suppressing bandits in that direction, and if they want to escape, they will definitely choose another direction, otherwise it will be easy to collide with us."

"And the bandits deliberately went in that direction, only it is possible that the target of the bandits themselves is Mr. Duan."

"Attacking Mr. Duan, it must be because Mr. Duan's existence threatens them, so they don't hesitate to expose it."

"Most likely, Mr. Duan has discovered their existence and true colors."

"In this case, their best course of action should be to escape from Linyang City as soon as possible while we are not in the city. In this way, even if we want to catch it, we are powerless. ”

And they didn't do it, which means they still have a reason not to leave. For example, they want to do more, so they must first get rid of Mr. Duan, who has already found their traces. ”

"That's right." Zhao Yunlong suddenly realized: "However, in this case, will they have already ...... Mr. Duan Killed? ”

"No, it won't. At least not at the moment. Xing Qianqiu shook his head: "Liu Zhi said that he found Duan Ming's horse, but he didn't find Mr. Duan's body. If the gangsters killed Mr. Duan, then why did they take his body away? ”

"Understood." Zhao Yunlong nodded, every day following Xing Qianqiu, he always felt that he could learn a lot.

"But what did Mr. Duan find?" Xing Qianqiu rubbed his forehead: "What about Xu Shizhong?" Haven't found it yet? ”

"I've found it." Zhao Yunlong said: "But Xu Shizhong didn't know anything, he only said that Mr. Duan took him to Old Man Liu's steamed buns, and then asked him to snatch half of the steamed buns from the dog's mouth." The rest is unknown. ”

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded, and then sighed: "Half a steamed bun, why do you want to grab half a steamed bun?" ”

"Command." While speaking, Liu Zhi walked in from outside, looked at Zhao Yunlong on the side, and was about to speak, but heard a loud shout from inside the Spiegel Division.

"Let's go out of the water!" As the shouts rang out, the skyrocketing firelight lit up half of the sky.

"Oops!" Xing Qianqiu frowned, and hurriedly asked the officials to go to extinguish the fire.

And Liu Zhi on the side saw this scene, and his face changed even more, because that direction was the direction of the courtyard where the morgue was located!

If so many people run there......

Gritting his teeth, Liu Zhi grabbed Xing Qianqiu and said in a deep voice: "Commander, I found the clues left by Mr. Duan outside the city!" ”

"What?" Xing Qianqiu looked back at Liu Zhi, hesitated slightly, and then shouted loudly: "You do your best to extinguish the fire, I'll go out." ”

Then Xing Qianqiu patted Liu Zhi on the shoulder: "Time can't be delayed, go!" ”

"Hmm." Liu Zhi nodded, and then rushed towards the direction outside the city with Xing Qianqiu.

There were many people in the Spiegel Division, and all the officials were desperately trying to extinguish the fire, and even the surrounding residents rushed to hear the news.

Everyone is equal in the face of the fire, and the surrounding residents are well aware that once the fire spreads, even their homes will not be spared.

Just when everyone was working together to extinguish the fire, two fast horses carried Liu Zhi and Xing Qianqiu and ran out quickly.

Soon, Xing Qianqiu and Liu Zhi came to a short distance outside the city, and the road ahead was dense with vines, and the horses could no longer enter.

There was no way, Xing Qianqiu had no choice but to dismount with Liu Zhi and run quickly towards the forest.

"Soon, it's not far ahead." Liu Zhi ran in front and said in a deep voice.

"Hmm." Xing Qianqiu nodded, didn't say anything, just followed closely behind Liu Zhi......
