Chapter 417: Approaching
Liu Yuan and the others, who were still standing on the long street, were not blind, not to mention that they were not blind, as far as their martial arts and cultivation were concerned, they had already heard the movement not far away.
At this time, looking at the man in black who was like a big bird spreading its wings, Liu Yuan and Pei Jiao glanced at each other, and the latter looked at Liu Yuan with inquiring eyes.
Then he asked in a low voice, "Shall we follow him, or continue to find the location of the second child?"
"Continue to look for the second son, since you are in the dark, don't come to the stage, hurry up. After saying that, the two of them simply glanced up, and then continued to rush in the established direction.
And Pei Jiao naturally had no objections, followed Liu Yuan's side, and hurried over.
Before the two of them could take three steps, the sound of brushing the air sounded overhead, and naturally those Qingfeng Guards who had seen it during the day rushed up directly.
The reaction was really fast, Liu Yuan glanced up, it was okay, he didn't think these people had much strength during the day.
It seems that I still feel the same way now, but it still plays a role.
Just after these people passed one after another, the two walked out of the street, and the small alley on the side and the main street in front of them sounded the sound of footsteps.
A group of patrol guards had already caught up quickly, and they originally saw that Liu Yuan and the two were going to interrogate more.
Now that the trace of the mysterious man in black has been discovered, it is natural that he will not waste time on the two of them.
It's just that everyone who passed by glanced at Liu Yuan and the two of them lightly, and then walked quickly past the two.
After the long street was quiet again, Pei Jiao whispered to Liu Yuan and asked, "Do you think they can catch that person?"
"It's hard to say. Liu Yuan shook his head, even if he was so excited, Liu Yuan was still not very optimistic about the eldest prince in his heart.
After all, since the mysterious man has been able to escape in the city for so many days, there is no reason why he will be caught tonight, and it is still unlikely.
However, Liu Yuan still hoped that they could catch that person, after all, it would not be easy for him to end it earlier.
Thinking about it, the two of them quickened their pace again, fortunately, the whereabouts of the two of them were not the same as those guards, otherwise it would not be clear.
Even if you make it clear, it doesn't take much effort.
The established place was not far away, and when the two of them were about to walk there, Pei Jiao seemed to suddenly remember something, and asked: "You said, the man in black has been on the run in the city for so long, and he should also react, who killed him in the first place." β
"Why is he in danger when he goes to Nafu, don't you think about why?
And even if he was at the beginning, because the atmosphere was too tense and he had to run for his life, he forgot about this stubble, and after so long, it was time to revisit it now. β
"Could it be that I was really hurt in the head by that Miss Xia's punch?"
Previously, due to the matter to be investigated, Liu Yuan had already told Pei Jiao the truth of the matter and some of the circumstances of that night, so the latter also knew about the head injury of the man in black.
Now that the sentences are finished, the more Pei Jiao thinks about it, the more transparent he feels in his mind, and his eyes are shining and he looks at Liu Yuan.
She felt that she was right, if Liu Yuan thought the same as herself, she should have realized the crux of the problem by now.
"Are you saying that when the man in black wakes up to this incident, there will definitely be a calamity that will lead those people to the location where they were hiding before, thus exposing the second son?"
Liu Yuan was naturally not stupid, and he quickly figured out what Pei Jiao really wanted to say.
"That's right. Pei Jiao nodded.
But when it came to this, Pei Jiao saw that Liu Yuan still didn't make any moves, and he didn't seem to be in a hurry.
I'm even more curious, it stands to reason that it shouldn't be.
"No, there is something wrong with this, since the man can escape, he must have escaped first, and he can't take the risk of revenge. β
"Judging from the past few days of hiding in Tibet, that person should be a very calm person, and he will not expose himself to danger because of his personal emotions. β
"Can't be, that person is so sure that he can get out in full view of everyone again?"
"No matter how confident he is, he won't be willing to take this risk. Liu Yuan shook his head slowly and said.
In a few words, the two of them have come to the established place.
Obviously, Liu Yuan's few words successfully moved Pei Jiao.
However, as soon as the conversation changed, Liu Yuan said again: "However, it's not that you can't go and take a look, before that, you have to take a look here, and then say, it's better not to change the original plan, otherwise Xiang Wen will not be able to cooperate with us very well." β
After saying that, Liu Yuan walked in with great strides, looking at his back, Pei Jiao rolled his eyes fiercely.
This place is not a lively and prosperous place in the whole Hongguang City.
But in the East District, there are still a lot of people, and if you want to change the usual, even if it's a big night, there must be a lot of people here.
It's not a special time, the long street is a little empty, and a gust of night wind blows through, blowing up a layer of dust on the floor tiles.
The houses on the left and right sides of the long street are tightly closed, and the sound of footsteps is particularly clear on the empty long street.
After the two walked out of a distance, a row of bamboo umbrellas was placed in the alley on the left, which was estimated to have been left by the people who were going to set up stalls in the early morning.
I didn't have time to take it away at night, and even if I didn't take it away, no one would steal it on the entire Lin Xing Street.
Suddenly, a row of bamboo umbrellas shook gently, and Liu Yuan and the others immediately paused when they heard the sound, and their ears moved to look to the side.
A row of bamboo umbrellas suddenly lined up on both sides, and a black figure crawled out of the crack in the floor under the umbrella.
His hands were propped up on the floor like that, and his whole body was pulled up little by little, and if he saw such a scene alone at night, he would not be scared half to death.
Even those who are brave enough not to faint from fright, have to run out while screaming and shouting that the ghost is coming.
However, Liu Yuan and the others were obviously not ordinary people, they just quietly watched the changes in front of them, and slowly walked there.
"This is what kind of manpower Zhou Gongzi arranged for us?" Pei Jiao looked ahead with strange eyes and said in Liu Yuan's ear.
"Ah, probably so. Liu Yuan nodded, after all, who has nothing to do at night, will crawl out of the hole in the ground under a bunch of umbrellas, in order to be scary, it's not so naΓ―ve, right?
It's just that this way of appearing is indeed a little special, so Liu Yuan didn't expect it for a while, until he got closer and saw this person, he found that he was a thin man who was not tall.
Most of them have practiced bone shrinking skills, and they have been engaged in underground activities for a long time, so they have such skilled movements and superb skills.
Thinking of Zhou Xiangwen's strange people in the Mansion, I no longer felt strange in my heart, when I was in the Mansion, I had never seen this person.
I guess even if I have seen it, I will forget it, after all, the other party is so inconspicuous.
The man's face was black, and he changed to an ordinary person at night, and he really couldn't see his face clearly, and the whole thing was like a black briquette.
"But the Lord's guests, Liu and Pei?" While Liu Yuan was puzzled and guessed, the man also looked at Liu Yuan and the two with scrutiny in his eyes, and asked.
Although there were portraits and descriptions given by Zhou Gongzi before, with his many years of treasure, his eye for identifying cultural and antiquities would definitely not be recognized, but it is better to confirm it verbally.
When he opened his mouth, he showed a mouth full of white teeth, and his voice was as small as a blowing wind.
"It's us. Liu Yuan and the two stood in the shadow at the mouth of the alley, and the black shadow stretched slender in front of the alley, completely covering the umbrella on the ground.
The whirring wind blew into the alley, and the three of them stood by the umbrella without moving their feet, and when the conversation was almost over, the short man handed Liu Yuan a piece of parchment.
Then the three of them changed directions and walked out from the other side.
Before leaving, the man returned the things on the ground to their original places, and Liu Yuan glanced back again.
Only then did I find that the hole that the man had drilled out of the ground, but the mouth of the bowl was larger, a little bigger, and it seemed to be a sewer place, no wonder there was a strange smell crawling up.
"What a talent. Liu Yuan looked at the hole, then at the man, and said with emotion, anyway, even if he was allowed to drill in and out of this hole, he would never be able to do it.
I don't know where Zhou Xiangwen got these living treasures in the first place, it's really interesting.
At first, it may have been that whoever underestimated the role of his Qishi Mansion.
glanced at Pei Jiao again, and knew from the look on her face that no matter how many tricks she played, she was still a girl's family in the end, and it was impossible to do such a thing.
"It's not a talent, it's just a little trick, why worry about it. The man said half-heartedly, and walked forward majestically.
Liu Yuan and the others followed, because there are not many remaining suspicions, and now this Lin Xing Street is particularly important.
On the parchment scroll in his hand, a map of this place is drawn criss-crossed, and some key points are also marked with obvious marks.
Let Liu Yuan see it at a glance, and quickly locked a few places.
In the conversation that followed, Liu Yuan sighed again, the ability of the little brother in front of him is not an exaggeration to say that he dug up this street three feet into the ground.
Before, he poured the strength of the entire Hongguang City, and he said that he was digging three feet into the ground, but after a few days, how could he really do it, it was not as powerful as the little brother in front of him.
Sometimes, even Liu Yuan himself had to admire some of Xiangwen's strange ideas that week.
When the three of them walked out of this long street, there was still no figure in sight on the road.
After fully familiarizing himself with the parchment in his hand, the search had just begun.
"As a result of walking around the sewers, I am familiar with several mechanisms that can set up secret passages in the dark room. β
"Well, in this direction, go this way. The man's voice remained unchanged, and he reached out and pointed to the left.
If someone leads the way, then the progress will naturally speed up.
In order to find the whereabouts of the second son, he didn't care about any privacy or not.
After about a quarter of an hour, the three of them had looked at all the possible locations of the place, and then returned to the original place.
"Alright, my mission is complete, it's time to sleep, you guys, please. β
After the man finished speaking, he didn't mean to talk any more, so he dug out the narrow hole again, and drilled under the noses of Liu Yuan and the others.
The two who looked straight at them were dumbfounded, shook their heads, and then walked out of the street.
In just a few moments, the two of them walked out of the East District.
"There's no such place either. Pei Jiao whispered.
"Yes, fortunately, with Zhou Xiangwen's help, otherwise we don't know how long we will have to look for it. Liu Yuan nodded and said.
I remembered the dark rooms I had been to before, and there were either jewels hidden in them, or things that were not known to the public.
He was not interested in any of this, he was neither short of money, nor was he curious about other people's secrets, even if those secrets were revealed, it might cause a lot of turmoil to the Xia family.
However, since the person took him to find these places, Zhou Xiangwen may have seen them a long time ago, which means that Xia Lingling may also know.
If these things are there, then Xia Lingling's strength may be stronger than Liu Yuan imagined.
Of course, this is also a good thing for him.
"Is the next time to go to Pomegranate Road in the West District, or to talk about Meifang?" Pei Jiao asked again.
"No, don't go, let's go to the ancestral court of the Xia family. Liu Yuan shook his head slowly and said.
......
What kind of place is the Old Ancestral Garden, it is the place where the Xia family once worshiped their ancestors, even for the entire Xia family, it is of some significance.
However, time has passed so far that not only is the place deserted, but even few people know its history.
And there is nothing in it except the empty courtyard, and it does not deserve too much attention.
But in order to find the second son, Liu Yuan put in a lot of effort.
In addition, with Zhou Xiangwen's help, after the points were eliminated one by one, in terms of time, Liu Yuan felt that it was time to go to the ancestral court to have a look.
It was supposed to be the dead of night, but when Liu Yuan and the others walked in that direction along the road, they met more people.
It's not that there are more people, but those patrol guards, then there is only one explanation.
That's why the man in black fled to this neighborhood before, and that's the only reason why the patrol guards can deploy all their forces here.
At first, he could avoid those people, but as he continued to go deeper, more and more people appeared on the street at the fork in the road, which made Liu Yuan frown deeply.
This is very detrimental to the actions of the two of them, not to mention, he is also very afraid that such a chaotic situation will allow the second son to seize the opportunity.
"Two, this is not the place for you. β
Sure enough, as expected, he was stopped, and Liu Yuan was just about to open his mouth to explain, when a figure flashed in the corner of his eye.
I didn't see anything else clearly, only a bald head with Cheng Guangwa.
