Chapter 134: Hunt for the Murderer
After Chang Ming received Chang Wen's order, he hurriedly entrusted the affairs of the sect to other elders, personally led the team to the place of the incident, and at the same time asked each city to issue instructions to the towns and villages to check on strangers from outside.
However, this group of perpetrators is extremely chicken thieves, and after committing a crime, they quietly moved away, and ran to a place where the eight poles could not hit to continue the scourge, and they had to be caught a long time ago, but there were not enough troops in the city, and it was difficult to organize a large-scale search, and now the main problem is that I don't know who the perpetrators are.
Settle the people who have suffered losses, and open the altar to chant sutras over those livestock, and then arrange for people to follow the route of the murderer's transfer, and ask whether suspicious people are found along the way, especially hotels, inns, restaurants, Chang Ming also expected that the murderer would definitely spend money to buy the bosses of those places, so the search methods are also quite tough.
Sure enough, the hard work paid off, and after careful screening, Chang Ming slowly figured out the murderer's route from far and near, and finally all the clues were concentrated in this place called Fenghe Town. In order not to startle the snake, Chang Ming also disguised himself as an ordinary person, and informed the city lord's mansion that there was no need to make a big deal of search, and all people who entered and left the city did not have to be blocked, even if they encountered suspicious people, they were also released, as long as they arranged for a secret sentry to keep an eye on it.
Just waited until night, Chang Ming divided the temple into three roads and lurked at the three intersections out of the town.
Seeing that the hour was approaching, a group of people couldn't hold on, and even Chang Ming fought with his eyelids, completely relying on the silent recitation of Buddhist scriptures.
"Elder, someone has been found out of town from the west. Just when Chang Ming was a little uncertain, a disciple came to report.
"Let's go, let's see. Chang Ming pressed his eyelids hard, cheered up, and then said behind him: "You guys hold your troops first, there should be a lot of them, in order not to attract attention, they may be scattered out of the town from different exits." Several disciples nodded, and continued to lower their bodies.
"Only two people?" Chang Ming saw the people walking over at the intersection, and turned his head and said: "Don't panic first, you two go with you, don't startle the snake, listen to the signal and act." ”
"Elder, two more people have left the town from the southeast intersection. At this time, another disciple came to report.
"Send two men to follow. Chang Ming didn't reply.
After a while, a total of eight people came out from the three exits of the west, southeast and northwest, and Chang Ming did not leave any of them, and they all arranged for his disciples to follow him secretly, and about a quarter of an hour later, a disciple came to report: "Elder, those eight people have gathered in Dashun Village in the west of the town. ”
Chang Ming showed a smile on his lips, and wanted to gather his disciples to go, but when he saw another person coming out at the intersection in front of him, Chang Ming hurriedly pressed the heads of the two disciples and said, "There are still people, don't move." Then he secretly stretched out his eyes and looked out, but he saw that the man went in and out again, and picked up stones and threw them around.
It seems that there is definitely something wrong with this person, otherwise he can be cautious and suspicious, pretending to be a ghost.
"He went back. A disciple poked his head out and said.
Chang Ming hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted it, "Don't worry, wait." ”
Sure enough, after a long while, the man no longer had the cautious appearance he had before, but swaggered out, and Chang Ming said: "I'll keep an eye on this person, you first ambush behind those eight people, remember, don't act rashly." All the disciples nodded, and then quietly retreated one by one, while Chang Ming followed behind the man unhurriedly.
"Are you all here?" a voice asked.
Then a person emerged from the grass and said, "Boss Ruler, there are many of us in the eight of us, and we are all together." ”
"Okay, it's too cowardly. "Called the ruler boss, it seems that the measuring ruler is right, he looked at the few people lying in the grass angrily.
"Our brothers are shallow, and if you have the skill of the ruler, it will definitely go sideways. One person patted the horse.
"Hmph, your sycophant kung fu is still 108,000 miles away from Lao Tzu. He scolded on his lips but smiled, and then pointed to the front and said: "You four, east, you four, go west, kill the cow first and then light the fire, I am in the middle of the strategy, it is still the old rule, the situation does not run to yourself." ”
"Rest assured. The eight of them all responded, but in fact, they all hid the words of scolding their mothers in their hearts, saying that they should respond in the middle, and if the situation is not right, they will run by themselves, so what else do they need to deal with.
This scene was seen and heard in the eyes and ears of the people of Changkong Temple hidden not far away, Chang Ming really couldn't figure it out, just a few little minions, he actually hurt himself enough, he made a gesture, five people on the left, five people on the right, as long as the other party showed some signs of committing a crime, he immediately arrested, Chang Ming himself of course wanted to stare at this measuring ruler known as the big brother of the ruler.
"Huh" measuring the sky ruler with grass in his mouth, seeing that there was no movement on both sides of the east and west, he knew that something was wrong, he couldn't help but stand up, looked left and right quickly, and wanted to escape.
"Whew" A burst of wind sounded from the back of his head, and he looked back and saw that it was a monk with six ring scars on his head, which meant that this person was an elder of Changkong Temple, but he was startled, where could he take care of the call, and hurriedly rolled to the ground.
Although it doesn't look good to roll, it is very practical, Chang Ming misses the air, and he gets up again, grabbing the back of the head of the measuring ruler, and the measuring ruler even climbs with a rolling belt and does not forget to shake his hand to recognize a bunch of hidden weapons, darts and flying needles have everything, but they can't create any threat in front of Chang Ming.
Chang Ming sneered, his speed increased under his feet, and he jumped directly to the front of the measuring scale, blocking his way.
"Amitabha, I advise you to tie your hands and arrest it. Chang Ming shouted the Buddha's horn and said.
The measuring ruler bent his body and looked around, the night was a little dark, and he couldn't see the surrounding environment clearly, so he didn't dare to rush rashly, in case he fell into the mud, he would be looking for death.
"Yikes. Measuring the ruler gritted his teeth, pulled out a dagger from his waist, and then used all his true qi to stab at Chang Ming, Chang Ming didn't take him to heart at all, just gently raised his hand to take the dagger of the measuring ruler, and then flicked his fingers, the dagger pierced the thigh of the measuring ruler, and the blood flowed out one by one.
The pain was unbearable, and he fell to the ground, holding his legs and screaming, "Lord Shadow Guard, please come to your rescue." ”
Chang Ming was stunned for a moment, could it be that there were still people he hadn't discovered? He hurriedly mentioned his true anger and was on guard.
"Whew" The subtle sound of breaking the wind sounded from behind Chang Ming, it was a hidden weapon, Chang Ming didn't want to be on the side of his body, dodged a dart, and then saw a slender figure appear out of nowhere, dancing with a silver dagger stabbing at him, its speed made Chang Ming dare not take it lightly, and hurriedly cast his fist and palm around, but his heart was surprised, although this person's skill may be slightly inferior to himself, but the speed is indeed amazing, if you don't deal with it wholeheartedly, I'm afraid that it is yourself who suffers.
"You go first. The shadow guard stood in front of the measuring ruler and said in a cold tone.
"Yes, yes, yes. The measuring ruler stammered, and before he could even say a word of thanks, he ran away on tiptoe.
Chang Ming was not in a hurry to catch up, but stared at this person called Shadow Guard.
"Elder, all the people have been captured. Suddenly, a voice sounded from not far away, and then I saw more than ten Changkong Temple disciples pressing eight criminals coming over.
Seeing that there were many people on the other side, the shadow guard slowly put down the dagger, and then stepped back step by step, his figure dimmed a little as he retreated, and soon disappeared into the night.
