Chapter 68 The Hiding Place
Looking at the flank that was cut by the sharp blade, Zhang Wenfeng asked Che Sheng to put on his robes, and then he turned around and walked out of the room.

Wu Youde, who was behind him, followed, closed the door, and said in a low voice, "Sir, Che Sheng works very hard, but this is the first time something goes wrong..."

Zhang Wenfeng, who was thinking about things, looked back.

Wu Youde quickly smirked and shut his mouth, worried about causing trouble for himself.

"Old Wu, go get the carrier pigeon."

"Yes, wait a moment, come right away."

Zhang Wenfeng waved his hand, sat down on the chair against the wall in the main room facing the door, took out a small piece of Daishi from his sleeve pocket, and a small piece of paper, wrote a few lines of fine characters, and rolled the piece of paper into small strips.

Wu Youde hurried into the next room and took out the carrier pigeon cage they brought out of the mission.

He caught the pigeon, took the small strip and stuffed it into the copper tube tied to the pigeon's leg, sealed it with wax, and went out the door and threw it into the air.

The black donkey wandered around dumbly in the red yard.

It doesn't enter the animal shed next to it, and there is no female donkey lady to communicate in depth, how much does it enter the shed?

With those two ugly horses, Mo had to speak the same language, how comfortable it was to bask in the sun outside.

A few people from the village elders and Lizheng waited for the person in charge of the case from the Daolu Branch to come.

When this trouble happened, a few old foxes went out to hide for a long time, leaving only the five wanderers to obey the orders.

Zhang Wenfeng asked Wu Youde to find a few pieces of rice paper, and Lao Wu was guarding outside the door. He folded and cut the rice paper, put a few pieces on the table, and quickly sketched with the rice paper on the surface of Dai Shi, and he would be robbed. The face of the thief was drawn, and in less than a quarter of an hour, two portraits were completed.

The donkey can pass his nose without forgetting the smell, and he also has the ability to remember the features of the face when he sees people.

Unlike some people, a new colleague has met several times, changed his hairstyle or clothes, met across the street, greeted warmly, but didn't recognize him for a while, which was embarrassing.

"Old Wu, come in and get down."

Handing the portrait to Wu Youde who stepped over the threshold, Zhang Wenfeng ordered:
"Let You Xi hold the portraits in two groups, don't make any noise, go to the inn, restaurant, tea house to look for the shopkeeper, and the wharf, and ask them together, since this person haunts the town, someone must have seen it. , maybe know what's coming? Look for more clues and let them pay attention to confidentiality and safety."

He was thinking that if Fu Gujing was here, he should be more organized than him.

Fortunately, he learned some experience last time, otherwise he would be blind.

Case investigation is different from cultivation. In Fu Gujing's words, case investigation requires "dare to doubt, observe carefully, be good at discovering, and follow through." He thinks it makes sense, and he can draw inferences from one case if he has a lot of experience.

Wu Youde took a look at the portrait, and was immediately shocked. It was too similar, and the young and old Mr. Zhang was hidden.

I remembered the time when the chicken crowed thief's den was wiped out more than ten days ago. There were well-informed rumors that the courtyard had hired a portrait master to draw a dead female thief so vividly that the case could be broken so quickly.

"Yes, I will explain it clearly to them, and let them find clues and don't panic."

Lao Wu is an old man from Daolu Branch, and he knows how to handle cases.

I thought that Master Zhang would wait for the reply from Master Wu before taking action. After all, in the face of the new daring thief cultivator, there is nothing wrong with being careful.

Zhang Wenfeng nodded and walked around the main room thinking.

He has already reported the latest situation. He will continue to investigate the case in his own way. If he can find the thief's base in the town, it would be best to find out how many accomplices the thief has, and then he will act on the camera.

Don't be impulsive, don't be rash, have a general understanding of the situation, make a plan, and feel that you have seven or eight points of confidence. I chose it in the dead of night at night, and led Lao Wu, Youxi, Xiang Yong and others to make a surprise attack. It is still possible to guard the prisoners by shouting loudly.

A thief will always feel guilty in the face of the government, and he will feel weak before he fights. This is why Fu Gujing and Yun Qiuhe dare to lead five or six Daolu branch staff to go out to inspect and handle cases alone, and it will take many days once they come out. the reason.

What law enforcement guards sharpen is courage, and courage is strong, and strong qi is beneficial to breaking through the boundaries of cultivation.

He has a donkey to help him secretly fight sap, and it is not a big problem to deal with two cultivators in the Qi Realm, and he is not afraid of three.

In such a small place, the possibility of another three thief monks appearing is so low that it is almost impossible.

How long does it take for the aura to rise?
It is recorded in the classics that the emergence of a large number of monks must be decades or a hundred years later. Whether it is the concentration of spiritual energy, the natural treasures in the wild, and the cultivation methods, there are more than now, and it is possible to popularize them.

If a monk is really a Chinese cabbage in a vegetable field, how many can he hit with one kick?
The gathering of a bunch of thieves monks at the Shengzhi Temple in Jiming Mountain was a very special case.

After waiting for half an hour to read the book in the town hall, there was still no message from the flying pigeon.

There was an urgent sound of footsteps in the yard. Old Wu, who was sitting quietly with him in the main room, quickly got up. A wanderer broke in, unable to restrain his excitement, and whispered, "Sir, find the clue to the thief's hiding place."

Zhang Wenfeng stood up and collected the book, but his expression did not change, and asked, "Where?"

Wu Youde was a little excited. The bigger the case, the more generous the reward. He didn't expect to receive feedback so quickly.

"Xie Lao Caijia from the west end of the town. A pier broker happened to recognize the person in the portrait. He said that yesterday morning, a passenger boat arrived from the upper reaches of Yuanyang County. Robbing for business, the customer was impatiently entangled by him, tilted his head and scolded him, his eyes were the same as the person in the portrait, very vicious."

"Later, he saw the guests get on the pier, and he talked to Xie Lao Cai, who was waiting for them, and left together."

You Xi finished speaking quickly, and added: "I gave Lao Liu three big money to tell him not to chew his tongue, and he didn't dare to talk nonsense with a few courages. He knows it's amazing."

Zhang Wenfeng pondered and asked, "How many were there with Xie Lao Cai at that time?"

"Lao Liu just glanced at him, but didn't notice how many of them followed Jie Lao Cai. Should I go and find out more?"

"No need for now. You've done a good job. This case will be credited to you. Now you go quietly and call back the other two who were looking for someone with the portrait. Make sure not to startle the snakes!"

Zhang Wenfeng fought against the thief for a very short time, and he was deeply impressed by the fierce and rebellious eyes of the man under the hat, and he deliberately exaggerated it a little when he painted it.

Glancing at Old Wu.

Old Wu smiled and patted the young Youxi on the shoulder, stuffed a handful of copper coins, and said, "I can't let you do things out of your own pocket, hurry up!"

"Yes, yes, I went."

Seeing Youxu happily running out, Zhang Wenfeng said to Old Wu: "With a goal, it's convenient for us to arrange our next steps. Go and invite Zhong Youxu, who was injured on duty, and let's understand the situation of the old wealthy family."

"Sir, wait a minute, I'll call him right away."

Wu Youde just ran out and said in surprise, "Hey, the carrier pigeon has returned."

With the flapping of his wings, Old Wu held the carrier pigeon in both hands and ran into the door again. He checked Master Zhang to see that the copper tube on the leg of the pigeon was completely sealed with wax. Then he crushed the wax skin and took out a folded strip and handed it to Master Zhang. He took it himself. The pigeons went back to the room and put them in the cages.

Zhang Wenfeng shook the reply note, read it twice, and put the note in his sleeve pocket.

Master Wu asked him to act cheaply, and he must ensure his own safety. Tomorrow noon, Yun Qiuhe will come to Xihezhou Town to help him after finishing his work. The reply did not mention the ecstatic flowers he wrote by the way.

He guessed that Master Wu might not know much about Lingzhi medicinal materials.

The cultivator's energy is limited, and it is impossible to dabble in everything, and because of his interest, he intends to develop in the direction of refining medicine and alchemy. Although the practice time is short, he has seen more. It happened to be from the "Lingzhi Materia Medica Records" left by the master. "In the book, I saw the record of Enchanted Flower.

Knowing that the flower of ecstasy opens when the sun goes down and twilight, and converges at sunrise.

After being intoxicated with the flowers, the fragrance of the flowers is strong and poisonous, which can cause various strange hallucinations when inhaled.

It is not surprising to be mistaken for being beaten by a ghost.

He just didn't expect that there was a ghost hidden on the mountain. I don't know if it was a coincidence, or was it man-made?
