Chapter 31: No progress

"See if there are any strangers in the crowd." Yang Yan groaned and spoke.

Yang Shi scrubbed his chin, the city of Xixiang has been stormy recently, and there are basically no outsiders coming in and out.

Therefore, the people who came to see the excitement were basically the local people in Xixiang City.

Since it is a local people, they all know the roots, and more or less people will recognize it.

Subsequently, Yang Xi arranged to let the people come out one by one, explain their identities, and see if the people below knew each other.

During this period, Wei Jiaqiang brought two brothers, Wei Song and Wei Xiong, who also rushed to hear the news.

As a result, after a toss, the identities of all the people have been verified, and they are all local people who have lived in Xixiang City for a long time.

Except for those few monks, there are no outsiders, and they all know the roots.

This is confusing.

In this way, the only people who are suspicious are those big monks.

However, these few great monks are empty-handed, and they are all ordinary people, and it is completely impossible.

It could only be that the murderer left here as soon as he kidnapped the child.

"Fourth son, since it has been confirmed that there is no murderer here, do you consider letting these people disband first?"

Wei Jiaqiang looked at the people below and began to whisper.

It has taken a lot of time to toss this time, although they are willing to cooperate, but they stay for too long, and there are more or less complaints.

And the woman who lost her child had already fainted from crying and was taken down by the government to be temporarily resettled.

"Then let's disband it first." Yang Xian frowned.

Anyway, it's not a way to keep these people like this.

"By the way, those families with children, send someone to follow and escort them home." Yang Shi added.

"Okay." Wei Jiaqiang nodded, and then announced that he would let these people disband and go home.

And, for those with children, Wei Jiaqiang arranged a team of servants to deliver them to their homes.

By this time, it was getting late.

"Lord Thorn." Yang Shi looked at Wei Jiaqiang.

"Fourth son, what's wrong?" Wei Jiaqiang looked at Yang Shi suspiciously.

"Xixiang City, martial law has always been maintained, right?" Yang Yan asked.

Wei Jiaqiang was stunned for a moment: "That's right, martial law has been maintained since that day."

Yang Xi nodded.

"Let's go home first." Yang Xi touched his stomach: "I'm hungry."

Everyone: ". . .

Wei Jiaqiang was also confused by Yang Shi's sudden question.

And the two brothers, Wei Song and Wei Xiong, all looked at Yang Xian's back in the distance, and their expressions were different.

。。。

"Uncle Xue, did you notice anything wrong with the scene today?" At the dinner table, Yang Xi was still thinking about today's events.

"Nope." Xue Long hugged half a leg of mutton, gnawing on his mouth full of oil, which was relatively more "bold" than Yang Hu.

"My attention is on the people around you, the fourth son, after all, I Lao Xue wants to protect your safety, and I didn't pay attention to the people outside." Xue Long wiped his mouth.

Yang Xi nodded slightly.

"Xixiang City, martial law has been maintained, those children shouldn't be able to take them out, they should still be in Xixiang City." Chu Yi opened his mouth and said.

"Is it only possible to conduct a city-wide search?" Xue Long said angrily.

"It's not realistic." Yang Yan shook his head and said.

Now, let's not say that Yang Yanxuan is not there, no one has the prestige to be able to search the whole city of Xixiang City, and secondly, there is not enough manpower alone.

The martial law in the whole city has drained most of the garrison and officials in the city.

If martial law personnel are deployed to conduct a full-scale search, the murderer may be able to escape.

In the case of lack of manpower, even if a city-wide search is carried out, Xixiang City is so big, I don't know what year it will be.

"But I have a different opinion." Yang Shi took a bite of rice.

Everyone looked at Yang Shi suspiciously.

"From beginning to end, there is a high probability that the children who were taken away should not be in the city." Yang Xi said.

"Huh? But now that the whole city is under martial law, how did they take the children out? Xia Yuerong frowned and asked.

"I don't know." Yang Yan shook his head.

"And you say those kids aren't in the city?" Chu Yi was puzzled.

Yang Xi put down the dishes and chopsticks: "Although I don't know what means the other party used to take the children out, but I am now almost sure that those children are not in the city."

"How?" Ling Yu was also a little curious when he heard this.

"I read the file, since the martial law in Xixiang City, there have been more than 20 children who have been taken away one after another, plus today there are 27."

"If so many children are hiding in Xixiang City, the goal is too big." Yang Yan groaned.

"And the youngest is less than a year old, and the oldest is only ten years old, so many children are going to make a fuss, and there must be a lot of movement."

When everyone heard this, they nodded unconsciously, it is true.

"If I were a murderer, I would never hide so many children in Xixiang City."

"And if I can't take it out, I'll stop the day after I quit." Yang Yan said.

Afterwards, Yang Yan looked at Xue Long: "Uncle Xue, in that situation today, if you are the murderer, what will you do, and you kidnap the child unknowingly?"

"Fourth son, you are embarrassed by my old Xue, if I really want to kidnap that child, I will shoot directly, and no one can stop me anyway." Xue Long said helplessly, using his brain or something, he hated it the most.

Well, Yang Yan was silent, and he asked the wrong person.

"Dao Chief, in the dark today, have you found anything?" Yang Shi looked at Ling Yu and asked.

Ling Yu shook his head: "I didn't find anything abnormal."

"It would be nice if your second brother was here." Xia Yuerong said with some emotion.

Hearing this, Yang Shi's mind conjured up with a young man who looked gentle and elegant.

Yang Erlang, Yang Er, Yang Shi's second cousin, and the son of his second uncle Yang Yanzhao.

Born with keen instincts, the method of single-handedly investigating and solving cases is impressive, and he even has a reputation for being a god in Great Xia.

However, now Chang'an serves as the chief catcher of the God Hunting Division.

"Far water can't quench your thirst." Yang said helplessly.

Several juniors of the Yang family are very promising, but if any one of them is at home, they don't have to run around by themselves.

Of course, except for Yang Hu, who is a reckless man.

"Moreover, those who targeted the fourth prince did not come forward, it is estimated that Xixiang City is now under martial law, and it is not easy to do it in the city." Ling Yu opened his mouth and said,

"I didn't even find out who was following the fourth son." Xue Long also opened his mouth to add.

"I don't know if the other party has given up for the time being." Ling Yu spoke.

"I feel more like I was scared away by you Ling Yu Dao Chief." Yang Xi looked up and said with a smile.

Ling Yu said at the beginning that that the Eight Realms Martial Artist was not his opponent who was injured by him.

It is estimated that the other party knows that he has Ling Yu Dao Chang's secret protection, so he did not continue to shoot for the time being.

"It's possible." Ling Yu nodded, the man in black in the Eight Realms that day, although he was also a member of the Eight Realms, was completely suppressed by himself.

"However, since the other party can cultivate so many Three Realm Martial Artists and Four Realm Martial Artists to act as dead soldiers, it is obviously not simple, I feel that it is better to be careful, and the other party is estimated not to give up easily." Ling Yu thought of those black-clothed dead soldiers and spoke.

Xia Yuerong nodded, the martial artists of the three realms and even the four realms acted as dead soldiers, even for the Yang family, it was a bit extravagant, not that the Yang family did not have this ability, but it was not worth it.

"For now, let's find the murderer of the kidnapping of the child, and it is not a way to continue martial law like this for a long time." Yang said helplessly.

。。。

That night, while playing the game, Yang Xi was thinking about today's situation.

Not only has there been no progress today, but it can also be said that a child has been abducted in front of him.
