Under the old willow tree, two secret guards have returned.

Chen Anning bowed his head at them, then turned to look at the Peace Fang.

Soon.

The other two Dark Guards also returned.

But Xie Xun was nowhere to be seen.

After a cup of tea.

The barking of dogs in the Peace Square came and went.

Xie Xun is still missing.

Although the four secret guards did not move, the qi on their bodies was tense.

Chen Anning's face was also a little cold, and after letting a few secret guards wait, she flew into the Peace Square again.

In the Peace Square, many courtyards are sparsely lit up, and one or two scolding middle-aged men or women can be seen sporadically coming out with lanterns.

Chen Anning hid in the shadows, like catkins in the wind, silently and quickly speeding away in the direction where Xie Xun might be.

As she passed an old locust tree, her steps paused slightly.

The next moment, her arm was grabbed and dragged to a tree.

It's Xie Xun.

After Chen Anning glanced at him, he looked at several middle-aged men holding torches and walking quickly in the direction of the old locust tree.

"There's no one here."

"Not here."

Several middle-aged men passed under the old locust tree, and after stopping at an alley twenty steps ahead, they talked to each other with two middle-aged men coming out of the alley.

"Look for it again." The oldest middle-aged man raised his torch, glanced at the old locust tree a few times, and then whispered, "Search the tree and the firewood pile well." ”

"Isn't it too much?" Another middle-aged man said dissatisfiedly, "But a few wild cats fighting are not often seen, so they are so late in the middle of the night that they don't let people sleep?" ”

Although the two middle-aged men next to him did not speak, their expressions obviously revealed the same meaning.

The oldest middle-aged man glanced at everyone with a heavy face, and scolded angrily: "When can't you sleep, do you have to fight for this night?" Don't cup the bow snake shadow, after being caught by Lord Xie in Dali Temple, it is not enough for you to sleep! ”

The middle-aged man who had previously expressed his dissatisfaction was about to talk back again, but was pulled by the person next to him.

The person next to him said roundly: "That's not what Lao Wu meant, it's that Master Xie is really going to target Hepingfang, isn't it even more suspicious that we are making such a big fanfare?" ”

The eldest middle-aged man pulled his face and said, "Search separately, search carefully, and go back to sleep after searching!" ”

Although the middle-aged man who had previously expressed his dissatisfaction was not angry, he obediently took a torch and went into the alley on the side.

Seeing this, the rest of the middle-aged men also dispersed.

The eldest middle-aged man waited for everyone to finish, sighed, and followed.

After a few steps, he stopped again, turned back to the old locust tree, and held a torch high to shine on the canopy.

After that, he walked around the old locust tree.

Between the dense branches, Chen Anning was pressed tightly on the trunk by Xie Xun.

Although the two tried their best to hold their breath, because they were too close, each other's breathing could still be heard.

Chen Anning raised his eyes to look at him.

Xie Xun lowered his eyes slightly and looked under the tree.

Although there is a black scarf covering his face, and there are branches to cover it, he cannot see any light.

But Chen Anning still heard his discomfort from his excessively fast heartbeat.

Hooking the corners of his mouth, Chen Anning also lowered his eyes slightly and looked under the tree.

Minutes and seconds passed.

The eldest middle-aged man walked around the tree four or five times before finally leaving.

But after only six or seven steps, he suddenly turned back and once again held his torch high and shone it on the treetops.

Fortunately, except for Xie Xun's faster and faster heartbeat, Chen Anning and him did not move from beginning to end.

The oldest middle-aged man walked around the tree twice again and then walked again.

Chen Anning and Xie Xun still maintained their original posture, motionless like a mountain.

Really.

He walked twenty or thirty paces, and then hurried back.

And this time, he not only walked around the tree, but after going around the tree, he was also ready to climb the tree.

Watching him hold a torch in one hand and climb up with a tree trunk in the other, Chen Anning and Xie Xun couldn't help but look at each other at the same time.

Naturally, the two couldn't speak.

Only a small area of silent communication can be achieved by fingers touching each other.

Chen Anning's fingertips touched him twice: "Kill him, or poison him?" ”

After Xie Xun hooked the corners of his mouth imperceptibly, he glanced down at the gray-haired middle-aged man under the tree, and touched her twice: "Wait a little longer." ”

Seeing that the middle-aged man had climbed out of five feet high, and at most two feet higher, the torch would be able to shine on the place where they were hiding, Chen Anning tapped his fingertips slightly, and was about to strike first when two exclamations suddenly came from the southwest.

When the middle-aged man heard this voice, he looked up at the canopy of the tree without giving up, and then quickly jumped off the tree and ran in the direction where the exclamation came from.

Not far from him, Xie Xun quickly took her out of the old locust tree, and after the two of them got up, they walked out of the Peace Square.

In the interval between leaving, Chen Anning glanced back, and in the direction of exclaim, a wild cat flexibly jumped on the roof of a courtyard house under the light of a torch.

Back under the old willow tree, there are only three dark guards waiting.

The eyes of the three of them were almost simultaneously on the hands they were holding together.

Xie Xun quietly let go of his hand and looked in the direction of Heping Fang.

Chen Anning glanced at his ears that were a little red under the shallow moonlight, and couldn't help but chuckle twice, and then also looked in the direction of Heping Fang.

Xie Xun's ears turned even redder, but in order not to let the secret guard see it, he tried his best to pretend that nothing happened.

Soon, another dark guard floated in the direction of the Peace Square like a ghost, stepping on the moonlight.

He made the wild cat.

Looking at Chen Anning's gaze, the dark guard's face was not different, and he was obviously accustomed to it.

"Let's go!"

Xie Xun suppressed the slow heartbeat and left the old willow tree first.

Chen Anning followed.

Return to the temple.

The four guards quietly disappeared.

Chen Anning took the cold tea handed by Xie Xun, and after taking two sips, he turned his head slightly to look at him, "What did you find out?" ”

Seeing that she was not ridiculing, Xie Xun secretly relieved and said: "The carriage on the night of Tian Daming's accident has been found!" ”

Chen Anning motioned for him to be more careful.

Xie Xun said: "The carriage was hidden in an alley not far from the old locust tree, it was not cleaned, and the blood stains were still there. ”

No wonder the older middle-aged man was so alert.

"Since the carriage where Tian Daming had an accident is in Hepingfang," Chen Anning said, "it is enough to prove that the missing boys and girls are also in Hepingfang, and Song Fu and his father are inseparable from this case even if they are not the masterminds." ”

"You interrogated Song Fu yesterday afternoon, did you get any results?"

"I didn't admit it at first." Xie Xun leaned on the back of the chair and said softly, "Later, I took him to the dark room, and after comparing the blood footprints, I admitted it, but I put all the responsibility on Miss Chen." Regarding the disappearance of Miss Zhao Er, he bit his mouth and said that he didn't know. ”

Chen Anning sneered: "But he is a smart person. ”

"I'm not a smart person, and I can't figure out the peace house." After Xie Xun casually commented on a few sentences, he asked her, "What do you think about the results of tonight's investigation?" ”

Chen Anning didn't answer and asked, "How many can you remember about the location of the gray cloth carriage?" ”

Xie Xun looked at her, "Do you suspect that there is more than one entrance and exit of the underground Colosseum?" ”
