Chapter 22: Capture by Trick
The night is light and bleak.
At the back door of the county office, a few crackling torches were suddenly thrown in, some fell on the stone slab and slowly extinguished, and some fell on the haystack and quickly burned, and the fire soared to the sky.
"It's on fire! Let's put out the fire! ”
I don't know who shouted, and soon there were pots and pans, and shouts one after another, and the backyard was quickly chaotic.
"What's going on?"
"It's on fire, go put out the fire!"
"Who set the fire?"
"I don't know, it was already burned like this when I came here......
As a group of people rushed to put out the fire, several smoke grenades were thrown in from outside.
"There's someone outside, there's someone outside!"
Only then did they realize that someone outside had deliberately set the fire.
In the thick smoke, a group of people quickly calmed down, some of them stayed to fight the fire, and some of them opened the door to chase.
As soon as these people stepped on the stone road, their feet slipped, and the whole person fell out horizontally, and the people behind them couldn't react, and they also fell into the same way.
"Don't come here!"
The fallen man hurriedly reminded the people who rushed out behind, "There are soybeans on the ground!" ”
When the people behind heard the sound, they stopped, and many logs flew out of the darkness, knocking them to the ground one by one.
"There is an ambush...... Ouch...... Go and tell the chief......"
It's a pity that all the people who came to put out the fire were all captured, and none of them escaped the net.
At this time, at the main gate of the county government, the door was knocked rhythmically, three long and two short, and the sound was endless. The patrolmen heard the sound and exchanged gestures with each other, and two of them climbed over the wall and walked around the gate.
In the shadows, a woman in white is holding a miserable white hand and slamming the door.
The two of them felt strange and leaned forward, and suddenly the woman who slammed the door turned around, and a big white face appeared in front of them.
"Huh!?" The two of them fell to the ground at the same time.
The woman suddenly stretched out her arms and floated towards the two of them, and shouted bitterly in her mouth, "Give me back my life...... Give me back my life......"
"Hell!" The two of them were so frightened that they hurriedly moved back, turned around and ran desperately, and as soon as they ran three zhang away, two stones flew out and hit the acupoint, and the two of them immediately fainted.
The people inside couldn't wait for them, so they guessed that there was something wrong outside the door, and after discussing it, they opened the door directly.
In front of me, there was a group of people in white clothes, their faces were as white as paper, and their hands were as white as paint, and they were surrounding a person who had passed out, not knowing what they were doing.
One of the torch-bearers shone the torch in that direction, and the group of white-clothed men looked at them with a smirk on their pale faces, stained with blood.
"What the hell!?"
I don't know whose torch rolled to the ground, and when the wind blew, the oil crackled, and it was very loud in the dead space.
"Give me back my life......"
The wails of ghosts in the air came and went, and white shadows drifted towards the gate, scaring the people into fleeing in all directions.
"Hahaha...... It's fun, it's fun, Lord Yun is really interesting. ”
Feng Xu, who was hiding in the dark, smiled and leaned back, holding her stomach for a long time.
"After seeing the excitement here, it's time to change places." The dragonfly urged her.
"Where do we go next?"
"Go all the way there, there's a haunted courtyard, and there's a haunted yard that guards it, and all those who come out and wear the clothes of catching fast will be killed."
"What about my sister?"
"I went in the opposite direction, where the underground channel where the sewage was discharged connected to the Chang River. Just in case, I'll have to keep watch. Dragonfly replied.
Feng Su covered her mouth and snickered, looking at her with ambiguous eyes, "Ouch, I don't know who said that I don't want to care about things here, I came here this time to take advantage of the imperial court, spend the imperial court's money to travel the mountains and rivers, buy clothes and jewelry, ......"
The dragonfly knocked on her forehead and scolded: "Okay, you, dare to joke with me, be careful that I find someone to sell you to the Qinglou." ”
The two teased each other a few more times, and then went their separate ways to do their own things.
As soon as she walked to the haunted house that the dragonfly said, Feng Xu saw that the lights were on inside, and she felt strange, so she found a broken window and climbed in.
The haunted house was pitch black, and from time to time a cold wind blew down the spine. Feng Su gathered the clothes on his body, and after feeling a little warm, he concentrated on observing the surroundings.
It looks like an ordinary abandoned single-family building, with four floors from the outside, but when Feng Fu turned around, he found that there were five floors. The facilities inside were old, the tables, chairs and benches were rotten, a thick layer of ash had accumulated, and there were many cobwebs entangled.
Feng Fu went up to the floor where he saw the lights just now, and found a few footprints of different sizes on the ground, as well as a few drops of oil stains, which looked like lamp oil.
As soon as she walked to the window, she happened to see two people dressed up quickly, and immediately drew their knives, flew down, and killed them with one knife before they had time to react.
After finishing the incident, Feng Su heard the sound of porcelain breaking from inside the wall, and she was curious about what was happening inside, so she turned over the high wall.
I saw that there was a group of black-clothed people inside who surrounded the six catchers, and the ground was covered with glass, and there was no place to put their feet at all.
"That's a bad deal." Feng Xu commented.
Seeing that no one rushed out again, Feng Fu left in the direction of the dragonfly. She had fought with Dragonfly, and knew that she had a few pounds and taels, and that little three-legged cat kung fu was okay to catch an ordinary prisoner, but it was a little difficult to compete with these professional killers.
The moon hid in the clouds, revealing only half of its face and peeking down secretly.
Dragonfly stood in the murky underground canal with spears in hand, and across from her, two catchers stared at each other and fell into the sewage in disbelief.
She looked coldly at the two dead men, threw the spear into the water, and walked out of the corridor.
As soon as she came out of the underground river, she saw the phoenix standing at the exit. Seeing each other, both of them were a little surprised.
"Why are you here?"
The two asked in unison.
"Didn't I tell you to stay over there?" Dragonfly asked.
"Why did you come out?" Feng Su thought for a while and asked her, "There are no fish that have slipped through the net here?" ”
"They were dead when I came, and the bodies were down there." The dragonfly pointed downwards and said.
"And a helper?" Feng Xu asked.
Instead of answering, the dragonfly asked her, "How's your situation going over there?" ”
"It's all caught, and no one should be able to get out of that situation." Feng Xu replied.
"If nothing goes wrong, let's go back."
After the dragonfly finished speaking, seeing that Feng Xu was still unsatisfied, she guessed that she probably encountered something interesting over there. Sure enough, Feng Su said to her excitedly.
"Sister, guess what I saw?"
"Ghosts?"
"Yes! Sister, you're so smart. ”
Seeing her so happy, Dragonfly was also happy to cooperate with her.
"Yikes! You have such an adventure, I have grown so big, I have never seen a ghost like this. ”
Feng Su was excited, and her expression immediately stiffened, she bit her lip, and thought about it for a long time before she said a little discouraged: "Actually...... I didn't see what he looked like. When I went up, I saw only a few footprints. ”
A gleam flashed in the dragonfly's eyes, "Footprints? What kind of footprints? ”
"It doesn't look like it's one person, there are several, big and small." Feng Xu replied.
After listening to this, Dragonfly felt that it was foggy and couldn't imagine what kind of scene would appear like that, but she didn't want her to continue the topic. casually fooled her for a few words, and then dragged her back to the inn.
The moon has set in the western mountains, and the net has been collected.
Yun Feng counted the people tied up in the main hall, a total of sixteen, plus the two corpses found in the river, and the two corpses outside the abandoned small building, a total of twenty people.
"Lord Yun, it's all here." Xu Yi said with his hand towards Yun Feng.
"Only twenty?" Yun Bong asked suspiciously. Before coming here, he went to the back kitchen, and judging from the storage of dishes and chopsticks, there should be twenty-four or five people, and there should be only twenty-four people.
"Have you searched the county government and are you sure that there are only these people?" Yun Feng asked Xu Yi again.
"Lord Yun, there are indeed only these people." Xu Yi replied affirmatively.
Yun Feng thought for a long time before arranging for Xu Yi to say: "Lord Xu, all the gangsters have been subdued, and then I have to trouble you to send someone to the mountains to bring back the real county yamen quickly, and the yamen in Changhe County must quickly resume normal operation." ”
After that, they talked about other things in Changhe County, and then the killers were imprisoned and dispersed.
The next morning, the dragonfly got up early, and as soon as she opened the door, she was startled by Yun Bong, who was standing still like a stone statue outside the door.
"Lord Yun, what are you running around early in the morning?"
"I ...... Please help me with something. Yun Feng looked at her in distress and said.
Seeing that his expression was wrong, the dragonfly didn't have the heart to tease him, so she just said, "Tell me, adult." ”
"Last night, we attacked the county government and arrested all the killers entrenched inside, a total of twenty people."
"And then?"
"Based on the amount of food they consume each month and the number of dishes and chopsticks they usually use, I think there are at least twenty-four people."
Dragonfly was startled, she took the phoenix to the back door and the main entrance last night, and she didn't see anyone escaping, and even the underground river channel that was most likely to escape was intercepted by her. Then there is only the abandoned little building called the haunted house.
"You want me to investigate?" Dragonfly asked.
Yun Feng nodded solemnly and explained to her: "During this time, the matter in the county government has been spread all over the world, and I have to give the people a reasonable explanation. There are a lot of things in it, and I can't pull away, so I can only rely on Liu Zhu to hurry up. ”
"Good...... Yes good. Dragonfly quickly retracted the words he had promised, and deliberately said, "But what good is it for me to help you investigate the case?" ”
"The benefits ......" Yun Feng thought seriously, "What Liu Zhukuai wants, just mention it, if Yun can do it, he will definitely do it." ”
Yun Feng not only did not scold her for not knowing the priority, but readily agreed, which surprised the dragonfly.
"I ......," she didn't know what to ask for a moment. Originally, he was also deliberately playing tricks on Yun Feng, but he was so obedient that Dragonfly was uncomfortable.
"I'll tell you when I think about it." Dragonfly coughed lightly.
"Then it's hard work."
