was figuring out the murderer's heart, and suddenly a person slapped himself behind his back, Liu Yuan was startled.

"Who?" Liu Yuan turned around as he spoke, and saw Lin Zhutou standing behind him with a smile: "Oh, it's really a place in life where you don't meet, Lin Zhutou is good." ”

"Don't talk nonsense, you kid doesn't know that I'm coming to Changning Street, let's say, what are you doing here, don't you go back to your inn to stay?" Lin Zhutou said, thinking to himself why this kid is so fat, knowing that the murderer is very likely to be near Changning Street, he dares to come.

"Come, Lin Zhutou's side. Liu Yuan suddenly said mysteriously, walked to the secluded alley on the side, and beckoned to Lin Zhutou.

"How can you still be mysterious? Lin Zhutou frowned, but still walked forward.

The two stood at the mouth of the alley, Liu Yuan approached and whispered: "Lin Zhutou, you are so blatantly inspecting passers-by on Changning Street, aren't you afraid of startling the grass?"

"This is not a problem you should care about, the person who solves the case has his own yamen, Xiao Liu is obedient, you hurry back to the inn." Lin Zhutou frowned and said, because of the relationship between the third uncle, he has always regarded Liu Yuan as a junior nephew.

I don't want him to get involved in this matter, the danger is too great, and it won't do Liu Yuan the slightest.

After saying that, Lin Zhutou patted Liu Yuan's shoulder, and without waiting for Liu Yuan to say a few more words, he walked out, and at the same time pinched the waist knife in his hand, this move made Liu Yuan's heart feel a little more bad premonition.

"Huh. Liu Yuan caught up and stretched out his hand, but Lin caught his head in a hurry, and soon disappeared at the mouth of the alley.

In fact, he just wanted to ask whether Lin Zhutou wanted to force the murderer to jump over the wall and run out by himself, or whether he wanted to force the murderer to retreat in one place and not come out, he looked for it.

If it was the former, it would be great, you could ambush in advance and fight a prepared battle, but judging from the murderer's methods, it doesn't look like a person who would make such a reckless move.

If it is the latter, the danger is much greater, the Yamen has not many people, although the entire Changning Street is not long, but it will take a lot of people to search from house to house.

And they can't all act together, they must only leave a few people to guard the pass, and then search separately, so as to save time and not have too many loopholes.

But in this way, the danger has also increased greatly, whispering five or six people are enough to survive under the hands of the murderer, it has been determined from the wounds of the deceased before, the murderer is likely to be proficient in martial arts, and even practice internal strength.

There is a high probability that in the event of an encounter, you will lose your life.

In order to catch this wingman, this is to put his head on the waistband of his trousers, although the contact time is not long, but Liu Yuan has a good feeling for Lin Zhutou, of course, this has to put aside the fact that he owes him Pu'er money and has not repaid.

Oh, I almost forgot that there is the most critical point, that is, Lin Zhutou actually believed the third uncle's nonsense, and identified the murderer by the rib scar, this is really a not good start, Liu Yuan thought in his heart, weighed it again, or chased the direction of Lin Zhutou's departure.

Now that he has learned the seven-style boxing, he is no longer the three-legged cat of the Yuan Imperial Pavilion at the beginning, although there is still no internal force in the body, but how can he help when he encounters something.

Whether it was for Lin Zhutou or that trial mission, it was impossible for him to leave at this time, and according to what Lin Zhutou said, he was also fat.

Sure enough, things were going according to his guess, Liu Yuan walked on the left side of the street, and he could already see the arrester with a search warrant, searching from house to house.

The murderer's appearance is not clear, and there is naturally no portrait on the search warrant, only some simple descriptions.

It didn't take too much time for Liu Yuan to see the corner of Lin Zhutou's clothes and disappear at the door of a small courtyard.

Anyway, he had also stayed in the Yuan Imperial Pavilion at the beginning, and his father was a prefecture-level imperial envoy in the fourth level of Heaven and Earth Xuanhuang, and Liu Yuan was confident in his ability to track and conceal.

Standing in a shadowy position at the gate of the courtyard, hiding most of his body, Liu Yuan only showed a pair of eyes, looking in behind the open gate.

The other arrests were all searched, but Lin Zhutou was alone.

I saw Lin Zhutou enter the back of the house and stand in the yard.

Let the men in the house all come out, first asked some questions, the distance was too far Liu Yuan couldn't hear clearly, and then after looking at their ribs, he turned around and walked towards the door when he saw that there was nothing abnormal, and the speed was very fast.

Before leaving, tell the family to be careful of strangers during this time, and lock the doors and windows.

Fortunately, Changning Street is not a rich businessman's residence, and the houses are not big, so it is not easy to hide individuals, which brings great convenience to the search.

Seeing Lin Zhutou coming over, Liu Yuan hurriedly slipped away, hid under the corner of the eaves, and secretly observed Lin Zhutou, who did not notice anything abnormal.

After that, the two searched one and hid, and half of the houses on the street were searched, not to mention the murderer, not a single person with a scar on the ribs was found.

The same situation is true for the rest of the hunts, there are not many unsearched areas left on Changning Street, so it seems that the murderer is very likely to be no longer in this vicinity.

But Lin Zhutou was still very serious, and Liu Yuan also maintained full vigilance and did not relax.

In front of me was a small shop, and there was no plaque on the head.

After Lin Zhutou walked in, Liu Yuan found that it was a grocery store, which was filled with climbing plows, wooden guns, dustpans, etc., and even small carts that sold breakfast, which really sold everything.

Liu Yuan found the back of a box with a lot of clutter, hid, and observed the conversation between Lin Zhutou and the shopkeeper at close range for the first time.

I only heard Lin Zhutou say: "The government is investigating the case, and there is a murderer who has recently killed his heart......"

"I know, I know, my lord, just search, my store is so big, there shouldn't be anyone hiding in my store. The shopkeeper's smiling face greeted him and seemed very cooperative.

After that, Lin Zhutou asked him if any strangers had come to the store to buy anything recently, and the shopkeeper answered them one by one, during which Lin Zhutou and Liu Yuan were paying attention to the shopkeeper's facial expressions.

Although judging from the means and injuries of the deceased, it has always been the murderer who committed the crime alone, it is not excluded that the murderer still has companions in the city.

"What are you on the second floor?" said Lin Zhutou with a scabbard pointing to the top of the shopkeeper's head.

"Oh, this, this is a small compartment with a pile of miscellaneous items, it hasn't been used for a long time, it's full of things, not to mention the Tibetans, and the rats can't fit much. The shopkeeper said casually.

Liu Yuan looked in the direction and saw that there was a place above his head behind the shopkeeper, saying that the second floor was more of a partition space, it was indeed very narrow, and there was no staircase that needed a ladder to go up.

"I'll go up and have a look. Lin Zhutou said.

"This ...... There's no need for it. The shopkeeper said with some hesitation on his face.
