"Wei Gong, Xiao Kui Xiao ordered the bamboo whistle to transmit the sound: waterway"

Watching the herald withdraw, Brother Hu spoke

"Did the gangster leave with the princess through the waterway?"

"With Xiao Kui's temperament, I'm not sure he won't send this message, and he must have sent someone back, it should be there soon"

Qin Mu's estimate was right, and it didn't take long for Tsing Yiwei to appear and report everything in detail.

Including all the words and deeds after the summer solstice left the Tsing Yi Wei Yamen.

"What are Hua Qianfeng and Kuang Yuding eating? How could such a mistake occur? ”

Brother Hu's eyes moved, and he pretended to be full of anger and said

"It's not a mistake, they did slack off"

"Xia Zhi, this kid is indeed a talent, and his mind is so thoughtful, and we have added another fierce general to the Tsing Yi Guard.

He also has a talent for martial arts against the sky, and there is a successor to Tsing Yi Wei, congratulations to Wei Gong, congratulations to ---"

The more Brother Hu spoke, the more passionate his voice became, attracting Qin Murao's meaningful glance.

He smiled and stopped performing, and his careful thoughts about protecting the summer solstice were seen through by Wei Gong at a glance.

"Wei Gong, it seems that it is very likely that Xia Solstice will track the other party,

The strength of the gangsters is very strong, do you let the lowly follow them secretly? ”

"No, I have other arrangements, you just stay here honestly"

"Yes"

Once Tsing Yiwei gets serious, the efficiency is indeed very high, the three small boats will soon be in place, and Xia Zhi is still studying the information in his hands.

Someone came back and confirmed that the original searcher had not touched the woman's suitcase.

Without any urging, his performance just now won the respect of everyone on the scene.

The thief who had lost his trace was actually grabbed by his tail so quickly, which is by no means something ordinary people can do.

They became the closest team to the thieves at the moment, which raised expectations in everyone's hearts, and no one refused to take credit.

Besides, it is Wei Gong's closest relatives who are missing, so once he makes a meritorious service, the harvest is definitely not small.

For the sake of fire prevention and the needs of life,

Wan'an City attracted water from canals, and dug dense and criss-crossing waterways in the city.

Using the waterway, you can actually reach any place in the outer city of Wan'an City,

Therefore, the blockade of the waterway is actually tighter than that done on land, which also makes Xia Zhi's heart less stressed.

Such a tight blockade restricts the area of activity of the thieves to a small range,

It shows that the thieves could not go far with the boat, which greatly reduced the pressure of searching.

"Get on the boat and go, go south, the others separate, follow on both sides of the strait, and at every landing place you have to inquire about one thing: whether anyone has landed after the accident"

"Don't you send someone to the north?"

"No, according to the situation at the time, if the thief went north, he should be discovered quickly,

We searched five hundred and forty feet south, but we didn't find that we turned around and headed north."

No one doubts it now, searching for such specific data as five hundred and forty feet to the south, the summer solstice must have some basis, and now is not the time to seek advice.

The search was not progressing quickly, mainly because of some delays in determining whether there were people ashore.

Fortunately, the distance was not far, and eventually they began to turn around and head north, coming to an intersection.

Xia Zhi arranged to divide his troops into three ways to continue the search, and he arranged himself on a waterway where he could see a small boat parked in front of him

As they approached, the people on the boat saw their clothes,

Unexpectedly, he casually picked up a flying lantern and lit it.

During the Qingfeng Festival Lantern Festival, it is common for someone to release flying lanterns, but the reaction of the summer solstice is a bit excessive.

"Command, Shoot the Flying Lantern"

While drinking, the summer solstice had already jumped up and pounced on the boat on the shore.

His hands were like fiery red jade, grabbing at the people on the boat---

The other party didn't dodge, and calmly stuffed something into his mouth with determination in his eyes.

Worst! It's a dead man again.

Xia Zhi, who grabbed the other party's neck, turned pale, because the other party had begun to bleed from seven orifices, and his eyes were like dead fish.

What poison? Is it so toxic? The effect is so fast?

Feeling something, he hurriedly turned his head and saw that the flying lantern that had just risen was not high and had been caught in Xiao Kui's hands.

"How do you know there's something wrong with the other person?"

He was not surprised to see our identities, and he calmly went to fly the sky lanterns.

This is not in line with the reaction of ordinary people, a middle-aged man released the flying lantern alone,

Does he think he is a child? Or do you think you're a boy and girl full of dreams?

And who would draw an arrow down on the flying lantern with such a move? So that's signaling."

Looking at Xia Zhi, who was frowning and contemplative, he didn't dare to disturb him and continue to ask.

Since the signal light is released here, it means that the person he wants to notify should not be far from here, otherwise the signal may not be visible.

"Tell them to come back, and focus on searching every landing place nearby"

Huoda immediately blew the bamboo whistle, Xiao Kui threw away the flying lantern in his hand, and quickly chased after the summer solstice.

Walking to the summer solstice at the mouth of the alley, Xiao Kui saw two candied fruits that had been trampled on the ground in front of him.

Quickly getting up, after looking around, Xia Solstice ignored a few stalls nearby, and walked towards a vendor selling candied fruits in the distance.

Drop a piece of broken silver, pick up a packet of preserves, and stuff one into your mouth.

"Was there a person selling candied fruit at the entrance of the alley over there?"

"Yes! How does the official know? ”

"There are rotten preserves on the ground, and wheel prints"

"The official is really a person with a heart"

"When did he leave?"

"About an hour ago, I followed two men to the alley over there."

"Well, it tastes good"

"It's good if the official likes it, the official, your old silver has fallen"

"Yours Reward"

"Thank you for your reward"

"Why go far? Didn't ask the vendors near the entrance of the alley? ”

Xiao Kui, who walked two steps briskly to keep up with the pace of the summer solstice, couldn't help but ask questions

"Peers are enemies, so those who pay attention to selling the most candied fruit must also be selling candied fruits"

Seeing Hoda appearing, Xia Zhi said to him

"Wait here, when our people arrive, ask all the people here,

Make sure that the person who sold preserves here an hour ago was the one who sold preserves over there.

Then leave someone to keep an eye on it, and if a hawker leaves, he will secretly follow."

"Understood"

Soon after, Xia Zhi and Xiao Kui squatted beside a waterway, in front of a wooden cart.

The cart looks new, and the box underneath is large, more than enough to hide one person.

There must have been a mark engraved on the side corner of the cart, but it has been destroyed.

It doesn't seem to make sense to move from that side to this side and re-enter the waterway?

The other party deliberately abandoned the cart here, and it was likely that he would not hide it.

The signal released by the suicide must have been to alert the accomplices, so they must have been hiding nearby, not too far away.

However, a large-scale search will definitely alarm the other party, and there are too many variables---

"Wei Gong, Xiao Kui Xiao ordered the bamboo whistle to transmit: a minion, suicide, the clue is not broken"

"Gong Wei, Xia Zhi is getting closer and closer to the gangsters, and he is worried that he will make a mistake if he lacks strength."

Brother Hu, who heard the report, couldn't help but speak again out of concern.

"It's okay, Xiao Kui has broken through the Gang Qi Realm, it's okay to drag the other party for a while"

But Qin Mu still didn't let him achieve what he wanted with an indifferent face.
