The bustling city of Lingzhou during the day has fallen into a deep sleep.

A hurried horse's hooves knocked all the way across the bluestone road, and the night patrol team encountered along the way only flashed their waist cards on the horse, and all the doors did not dare to block it slightly, and let it go directly.

Inside the county Zhu Yamen, there are many rooms with lights on.

Dismounted at the side door, threw the reins directly to the high servant, and Zhou Ang went straight to the second hall.

However, when he arrived at the door, unexpectedly, Gao Jing was the only one in the second hall.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and saw Zhou Ang at the door, put down the case file in his hand, and beckoned: "Zixiu, come!"

Zhou Angmai stepped in, Gao Jing had already stood up, and said: "I have found out the identity of Na Huo Dalang, and also found out the location where he took the initiative to throw himself into the river, there are many witnesses who can testify, according to the time calculation, he should indeed go straight to Lingjiang immediately after completing the killing." There was hardly any delay in between. ”

Zhou Ang frowned when he heard this.

At this time, Gao Jing said again: "For the investigation of his neighbors, there is no clue at present, but...... Take a look at this portrait...... According to neighbors, about four or five days before the incident, the man lived in Huo Dalang's yard and claimed to be his cousin. But our people searched everywhere, and they couldn't find this person at all. So ......"

Zhou Ang took the portrait and glanced at it, then looked up at Gao Jing, "So, you suspect this person?"

The portrait is a young man who looks to be in his early twenties, not very handsome, but his eyebrows and eyes are right, and he doesn't look like some kind of evil person.

Of course, it is said that each other is born from the heart, but Zhou Ang knows that this is just people's wishful thinking.

A person who is good-looking and upright may not be really a good person.

Gao Jing pondered for a moment, his tone was a little hesitant, and said: "At present, the whereabouts of this person are unknown, and our people are trying to find a way to mobilize an informant to find him, but I heard Ziyu say that when you dealt with the murder scene of the butcher shop in the afternoon, you took someone directly to Na Du Er's house without asking anything......

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Ang understood.

He was vaguely questioning his ability to "backtrack".

Zhou Ang is not a cultivator cultivated by the official system, and although he has now joined the ranks of official cultivators, his body is still shrouded in layers of fog.

Therefore, in terms of common sense, although everyone is already colleagues, this kind of snooping and spying on other people's abilities is still extremely sensitive - Zhou Ang is still half an outsider.

So Gao Jing's tone carried a hint of hesitation.

But Zhou Ang just smiled when he heard this, and said, "What does the county Zhu need me to do?"

Gao Jing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and said, "Zixiu, don't misunderstand, I didn't ask for ......."

Zhou Ang raised his hand and said with a smile: "What does the county Zhu need me to do?" ”

This time, Gao Jing seemed to have finally determined Zhou Ang's attitude, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and said with a little excitement: "I don't know what spells you have in this regard, and I won't ask in detail, you can judge specifically, we can basically determine Na Huo Dalang's path this afternoon now." Let's go through it again and see if you can analyze any useful clues. ”

Zhou Ang pondered for a moment and said, "Take me to the place where he threw himself into the river." ”

Gao Jing's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Good!"

............

The night grew darker.

A few fast horses galloped down the street, and soon arrived at Dashiqiaofang, easily shouted to open the door, and then galloped to the north bank of the Lingjiang River, where Huo Dalang jumped in the informant's report.

Zhou Ang dismounted, handed the reins to a soldier behind him, and then stepped up the embankment.

Although Gao Jing also dismounted, he took the initiative to stay in the river embankment and did not catch up, obviously taking the initiative to avoid it, so as not to give Zhou Ang the impression that he wanted to spy on his spells.

Although it is summer, even at night, it is hot and sleepless, but when I walk to the embankment of this Lingjiang River, I only feel that the river breeze is blowing, and there is a rare coolness.

It is said that some people used to like to sleep on the river embankment in summer, but since the founding of the Tang Dynasty, a curfew has been enforced, and now the people who sleep on the river embankment are basically extinct.

Zhou Ang walked alone on the embankment, and within the embankment, Gao Jing led the horse with two soldiers, and followed him from a distance of more than ten paces.

Suddenly, Zhou Ang stopped on a river embankment somewhere.

A scene of light and shadow suddenly flashed in front of him, and only in front of him.

In that light and shadow, Huo Dalang walked up the embankment with blank eyes, but just a few steps behind him, another person also followed his footsteps and stepped up the embankment.

As for the crowd in front of and behind the two of them at that time, they all blurred into a cloud of light and shadow with indistinguishable shapes, so that Zhou Ang couldn't see anything clearly.

Then, almost side by side, the two walked down the embankment one after another, heading towards the Lingjiang River.

In the end, they didn't say a word, and in the sudden exclamation of passers-by, they stepped into the waves so calmly and blankly, and then they were swept up by Jiang Tao and completely disappeared into the water.

Zhou Ang pursed his lips helplessly, his brows furrowed.

Turning his head to look at Gao Jing in the river embankment, he beckoned, and Gao Jing flew up in two steps.

"How?

Zhou Ang took a deep breath, exhaled slowly, and said, "The person on the portrait...... Also dead. ”

"Huh?"

Zhou Ang pointed to a place under the river embankment and said, "Both of them went to death peacefully, and it was from here that they went down the river. It was quickly washed away!"

After a pause, he sighed again, and the inexplicable irritability in his heart made him more and more uncomfortable, but he still added: "If I'm not mistaken...... Alas, his body will probably be found downstream tomorrow, right? Or maybe it has been blocked by the water gate now, and it will only be seen tomorrow. ”

Gao Jing also sighed.

Since Zhou Ang said so, of course he believed it.

It's just that...... There is only one clue, and this is broken again.

There was also a rare hint of irritability on his face.

But at this moment, Zhou Ang suddenly felt that something was wrong—specifically, something in his arms seemed to be suddenly warm.

After a while, he felt something, and immediately said, "Wait! wait for me a little longer!"

Before he could finish speaking, he had closed his eyes, and opened them again a moment later.

That's right, it's the same scene just now.

These two people, who don't know whether they are real cousins or fake cousins, died peacefully one after another.

But Zhou Ang intuitively sensed that something was wrong, and suddenly raised his head and looked at the blurring of light and shadow.

And this time, when he raised his head, it seemed that a force came out of the small mirror in his chest and abdomen, penetrating into his chest and abdomen.

Zhou Ang was stunned to see the scene in front of him that suddenly came to life.

The bustling flow of people, the noisy sound of the city.

All the sounds and smiles.

And among these people, Zhou Ang's gaze suddenly fell on one person.

The man looked about thirty years old, wearing an elegant Confucian dress, and there seemed to be an inexplicable brilliance in his eyes.

Zhou Ang turned around and saw that Huo Dalang and the others had already stepped down the river embankment.

When I looked back, I saw that the smile on the man's face was getting brighter and brighter.

It seems that a rather proud piece has been completed.
