The atmosphere in Luokou Town is becoming more and more tense, since he found that Erhuazi was killed on the river beach two days ago, Zhao Bufan always feels that something big will happen, and he is more and more careful day by day, especially when he finds out that Erhuazi is not a local, but a homeless person who has recently moved over, he feels that things are very strange.

The county sent a catcher to bring people over, but they didn't find out why.

But even more bizarre things have just begun, on the fourth day of Erhuazi's death, the owner of the East Gate Inn, his wife and children suddenly disappeared, everyone speculated that they should be dead, Zhao Bufan also investigated in person, but found nothing, the family seemed to disappear out of thin air.

Immediately afterwards, the head catcher from the county and his men died on the streets in one day.

In an instant, the undercurrent of Luohe Town was instantly violent, and people from the rivers and lakes were constantly found dead in the room, or near the town, and people from all sides were investigating the murderer violently, you doubt me, I doubt you, there are fights from time to time, and those local people are even too scared to go out, and they shrink at home every day.

On the evening of the seventh day of February, Zhao Bufan took Wu Song and Yang Zhi to buy some food from the locals, and slowly returned to the guest room of the Dongmen Inn.

Their moods were a little heavy, so they didn't speak, Zhao Bufan gently opened the door with the key and stepped into the dim room first.

"Be careful!" Wu Song suddenly burst into a roar, grabbed Zhao Bufan and threw him back, he stepped forward, and his right fist roared out with a fierce wind.

"Bang!"

A black shadow flashed in the dim room, and he slapped Wu Song fiercely, fortunately Wu Song reacted quickly, otherwise this palm would have hit Zhao Bufan's chest directly.

Wu Song's internal strength is strong, and if his fist is like the strength of a thousand catties, that person is obviously not an opponent, and he flew out upside down in an instant, directly smashing the bed, but Wu Song also retreated violently, and it was not until Yang Zhi resisted his back that he stabilized his body.

The front of the door was narrow, and Zhao Bufan and the three of them were blocked outside, but the black shadow in the house took advantage of this moment to jump up from the ground and escape directly through the window.

"Chase!" Zhao Bufan gritted his teeth, he was really shocked into a cold sweat, he didn't notice that there was someone in the house just now, if it wasn't for Wu Song's timely response, his life would probably be gone.

The three of them jumped out of the window of the room and sped closely after the figure.

It was already dark in the evening, and the people didn't dare to go out, so few people really saw their chase.

The East Gate Inn was close to the river bank, and the black shadow ran straight to the river beach, and he seemed to be very familiar with the environment here, using the night and the rugged terrain of the river beach as a cover, and it didn't take long to disappear into a big corner, and when Zhao Bufan and the three chased around the corner, he was no longer visible.

The three of them searched the vicinity again, but still found no trace.

Yang Zhi was furious and put away the Meteor Rock Crusher Knife angrily.

"This dog thief is really slippery, so he ran away from him!"

Wu Song's face was solemn, he hung the Qinglong and White Tiger Twin Swords on his back, turned his head to look at Zhao Bufan and said softly: "This person's martial arts are very high, and the martial arts he uses are very famous, it is from Shaolin's powerful King Kong palm, and he has practiced to the realm of Dacheng!"

"Are you sure it's the Mighty King Kong Palm?" Zhao Bufan asked as he stared at him.

"I'm sure, there are really not many martial artists in the world who can't recognize this set of palm techniques!" Wu Song's tone was very sure.

As soon as these words came out, the first name that flashed in Zhao Bufan's mind was Zhu Bocai.

Wu Song was sullen for a moment, and then said: "The force of this person's attack is in the seventh or sixth grade, and I only have one palm with him, it's hard to be sure, but it should be in this range!"

Zhao Bufan secretly thought: No, if the force of the attack is the sixth or seventh grade, it cannot be Zhu Bocai, although it is also with a strong King Kong palm, but Zhu Bocai's force is at least above the fifth grade, even Wu Song may not be his opponent, how can he be seriously injured and escape with one move, then who is this person? Why do you want to kill me?

After thinking about it, I always felt that I had overlooked something.

"Huh, isn't this the place where Erhuazi died that day?" Yang Zhi's puzzled voice suddenly remembered, instantly attracting the attention of Zhao Bufan and Wu Song.

Looking at it a little closely, Wu Song was also surprised: "Don't say it, it's true!"

Yang Zhi frowned for a long time, and suddenly said, "No, it's not here, it's just very similar to that place!"

"Why?" Zhao Bufan asked.

Yang Zhi pointed to the bank of the river and said, "Because in the place where I found Erhuazi dead, I saw a row of boulders there, but there is no here!"

"But I think it is!" Wu Song said, looking around alone, and after a while, he walked to the place near the river, grabbed a piece of soil from the ground and looked at it carefully for a long time: "You see, this soil is still mixed with dried bloodstains, and in just a few days, it has not been completely hidden, and the location of this rag is not exactly the same as that day? As for the surrounding environment, it looks the same!"

"But where did those stones on the bank of the river go?" Yang Zhi asked rhetorically.

Listening to the dispute between the two, Zhao Bufan strolled to the bank of the river, bent down to check, but unfortunately this place is washed by the river every day, and there is no trace of it, but there are more and more doubts in his mind, which makes him very irritable.

The sound of "popping" the goose warm stone is very different from the ordinary "poof" into the water.

"Huh?" Zhao Bufan walked a few steps into the water strangely, and by the moonlight, he vaguely saw that there seemed to be something in the river. "Big rocks?"

He stepped on the mud and sand soaked in the river, slowly poked into the water, and seeing that the water had overflowed his thighs, he finally saw that the things in the river were a dozen boulders.

He immediately shouted, "Brother Yang, did you see these boulders that night?"

Yang Zhi, who was discussing with Wu Song, heard the sound and walked over, and after entering the water, he didn't take a few steps to see the situation in Qingshui, and immediately nodded: "It's these boulders!" But why are they here, that night it was obviously on the bank of the river, only a small half was buried in the water, and now it's all in the water, this is not the season of rising water, it makes no sense, who would be idle enough to move so many boulders, this is not an ordinary weight!"

Wu Song also stepped on the water curiously, but before he made any progress, he suddenly stumbled and almost fell into the water.

"What trips my feet?"

As he spoke, he reached into the water and fumbled for it, but it wasn't long before he grabbed a thick rope. "Who put such a big rope in the mud and sand?"

As he spoke, he pulled the rope, but it was too much to finish, and the rope was very long.

Zhao Bufan and Yang Zhi were both interested, and turned around to walk, but just as they took a step, Zhao Bufan's foot suddenly kicked something in the mud and sand, and almost threw himself into the water, stretched out his hand, and instantly grabbed a rope, which was the same size as the one in Wu Song's hand.

This makes people wonder, why is such a thick rope buried in the mud and sand, and it is so long, obviously man-made?

The three of them quickly pulled up the ropes and found that these ropes were all five zhang long and very neat.

Because of the doubts in his heart, Zhao Bufan took Wu Song and Yang Zhi to continue to explore, but it didn't take long to find that there were really more than two such ropes, and they actually pulled up twelve of them, until they couldn't find any other ropes, and then they gathered together again.

"What's the matter? Why are there twelve ropes so thick? And this rope is not the old rope, it seems relatively new, what is it used for? It is some distance from the town, and there are no people nearby, how can there be such a thick rope buried in the mud and sand. Wu Song said suspiciously.

Zhao Bufan couldn't answer, and was silent.

On the contrary, Yang Zhi next to him became more and more dignified, and after a while, he suddenly threw himself into the water in front of him, leaning over and groping for something.

Zhao Bufan opened his mouth to ask him, but he didn't answer, only said to let them wait.

After about a quarter of an hour, Yang Zhi went around there several times, and finally turned back, suddenly tearing off the mask on his face, looking excited.

"Owner, I just thought back to how many boulders I saw that day, and I felt like there were more than a dozen, but I didn't care too much about it at the time, so I can't remember clearly, I checked it carefully just now, and these boulders are exactly twelve, which completely confirms my guess!"

"Guess, what guess?" Wu Song wondered.

Yang Zhidao: "Brother Wu Song, think about it, the rope is buried in the mud and sand, a total of twelve, and there are twelve boulders on the shore, so it means that this stone is probably used to tie the rope, but the rope is tied to the stone, so the other end should also be tied to something." But now the rope is neither tied to the stone nor tied to anything, but is buried in the mud and sand, and even the stone is pushed from the shore to the deeper part of the river.

"In order to hide people's eyes!" Zhao Bufan's eyes lit up instantly, and he faintly understood.

"Yes, if the locals make this, then who will do so many meaningless things? Those boulders are not light, it is not easy to push into the river, and such a thick rope is also quite labor-intensive to do, since it is useful now, why not put it away and keep it for later use?"

Zhao Bufan laughed and looked at Yang Zhidao deeply: "Are you suspicious, this rope is buried in the mud and sand, one end is pressed with a boulder, and the other end is suspended in deep water, it is likely to hide things, and based on various news, there is a chance that it is the treasure box that hides the birth gang!"

Yang Zhi said with a smile: "Although it is speculation, but it is very likely, otherwise who would have gone to great lengths to get a mechanism here? Afterwards, they would have to hide the boulder and rope in the water? Not to mention that this rope is very new, and even the moss has not yet grown, which means that it is a matter of the last few days, so I can only think about the birth gang! It's a pity that we found it too late, and now the twelve ropes have been scooped up by us, and there is nothing, obviously the other party has transferred the treasure, and also pushed the stones into the water to hide them!"

Zhao Bufan lowered his head and thought about it: "Assuming your inference is correct, then everything can make sense, and Erhuazi died here, it is likely that he discovered this secret and quietly came to check, but was discovered by the other party, so he died!"

"It's also possible that he was the one who followed the other party's orders, but was killed!" Wu Song added.

"Bang! bang!"

Slow, powerful applause suddenly rang out, accompanied by an unfamiliar voice.

"Wonderful, very exciting! It seems that the three of you are really not ordinary people, that's right, Erhuazi knows too much, and he has no value, so he wants to die! But what do you know now, it seems a little late, there are still three days before the birth of the Gang can be sent out safely, and more importantly, you will all die tonight!"
