Krypton gold longevity: a hundred years of life at the beginning

Chapter 65 Road Map, Shocking Zhang Hua

After separating from Li Ying, Zhang Hua did not check the water tanks around the city wall.

Now that you already know the location of the secret passages, why bother checking them out!
There is no well there.

According to the location, Zhang Hua went directly to find a nearby resident. After revealing his identity, he quickly borrowed the well.

I also jumped into the well to investigate. With the help of the map, I easily found the location of the secret passage. Then I looked at the direction of the passage and its extension... Hey, why is it gone?

Looking at the pitch black area on the map, Zhang Hua was stunned. It took him a while to realize that he must have reached the edge of the city wall. The passage was going down. That's right. Originally, this household was not far from the city wall.

In order to test his conjecture, Zhang Hua moved further underground. As expected, he could see the passage again. Those magic rats were still carrying soil out. There were quite a lot of them.

Going further down, you will almost hit the water, but the demon's passage is still going down...

It seems that after the demon encountered the city wall, he was afraid of causing too much noise, so he dug directly deeper. Unfortunately, there was no well outside the city. Otherwise, if you follow this passage, you can know where the opponent is hiding outside the city.

Without continuing, Zhang Hua memorized these and flew directly out of the well. He took out a notebook and carbon strips from his arms, began to draw a nearby map, and then marked the route of the secret passage.

After the road map was completed, Zhang Hua gave the owner half a tael of silver and asked them to keep it a secret before leaving here directly.

Even with Lao Huang's house, Zhang Hua visited two houses in total to investigate them all. After thinking about it, he went back to Lao Huang's house again.

Under the warm reception of Lao Huang and his wife, Zhang Hua went down into the well again. This time he wanted to check the speed of the devil's digging tunnel and see if their route had changed.

Upon closer inspection, Zhang Hua had to admit that this demon rat breeder was indeed a good hand at digging tunnels.

With this little effort, they had already dug 40 to 15 meters, and it seemed like only about [-] minutes had passed!
You must know that what they are digging is not the kind that can only allow people to crawl through the trail, but the kind that allows people to stand upright and run.

Fortunately, so far, they have not been found to have a tendency to dig upward, which means that the exit is not near here.

Based on the direction of their excavation, Zhang Hua calculated that there were two possibilities for where they would ultimately use the exit.

One is the strange house where the devil once stayed. It is not far from the west gate. According to their speed, they can dig there in about two hours.

There is also the granary in Lin'an, where all the tax grains from the autumn harvest are placed. If the devil destroys it, it will indeed cause huge turmoil, but if the target is there, it will probably take until midnight to dig.

Rats, grain... Zhang Hua estimated that the devil chose the granary.

However, we must be on guard against Guizhai, as this is related to the safety of the entire Lin'an City, and we cannot judge the enemy's movements based on mere guesses.

Not only these two places, who knows whether the devil will have a brain cramp and change directions temporarily. Zhang Hua will definitely have to reconfirm every once in a while.

After drawing the route, Zhang Hua said goodbye to Lao Huang's family and headed to the west gate. As for the carriage, he could only leave it here temporarily.

Before leaving, he saw that the two little girls were guarding them very seriously, so he gave them Huaili's remaining half kilogram of braised pork as a reward.

Returning to Ximen again, the county magistrate hadn't arrived yet, but County Lieutenant Qin was already waiting here. Before Zhang Hua could speak, the other party came forward to greet him and said eagerly: "Captain Zhang, how is the situation? Yes. Didn’t you find out where the demon dug?”

Zhang Hua glanced at Li Ying who was following him. Seeing that he had no expression, he was about to take out his notebook from his arms when he heard the sound of horse hoofbeats.

Looking back, it was the county magistrate Zhao Rui who had arrived.

Speaking of which, this was the first time Zhang Hua saw the other party riding a horse. It seemed that he was anxious after knowing that the devil had really dug a secret passage from the west gate.

However, now that Zhao Rui is here, Zhang Hua does not have to rush to tell Lieutenant Qin about the secret passage. The other party also knows the current situation. After being stunned for a moment, he quietly waited aside.

"Old Qin, how is the situation now?"

Before he dismounted, Zhao Rui started asking. As the top leader here, Qin County Lieutenant was naturally the first target of questioning.

County Lieutenant Qin took a step forward, and while helping Zhao Rui dismount, he said, "Your Majesty, you came too fast. Detective Zhang here just came back from the investigation, and you came before I could ask. "

"Oh, really! Then I came in time, just in time for us to listen together."

After dealing with Qin County Lieutenant for a few words, Zhao Rui walked directly to Zhang Hua and said: "The people who heard the report said that it was Xiaohua who discovered it first this time, so thank you for your hard work.

Don't worry, I will report your contribution to the superiors, and you will definitely be rewarded in the future. Now tell me what's going on! "

If you report to the superiors, can the police officer be promoted?
Regarding Zhao Rui's promise, Zhang Hua didn't take it seriously. He took out the book from his pocket and opened it, saying, "My lord, this is the route map of the dark road that I found out based on the movement from the water tank. Please have a look at it." .”

The roadmap is out!

Zhao Rui was surprised, but thinking about Zhang Hua's previous performances, it seemed that it was not impossible!

With anticipation, Zhao Rui waved to a city guard holding a torch next to him. While the guard was still stunned, the sharp-eyed Qin County Lieutenant immediately went to take the torch.

Zhao Rui didn't care about this and started to check it out by the firelight...

The depth of the passage, about seven meters, is unknown at the city wall.

The current excavation length is unknown outside the city, but it is more than 300 meters inside the city.

The passage is at the approximate location of the city wall...the approximate location that is currently being excavated...

The excavation speed is about 150 meters per hour.

Damn, this is too detailed!

Also, what is marked here... I even figured out where the devil is going to come from!
Hiss~ It’s a bit scary!

"Ahem! Well, Xiaohua, this..."

Zhao Rui smiled awkwardly, then pointed at the notebook and asked, "Is the data in this book reliable?"

The County Captain Qin on the side also looked at Zhang Hua in amazement. The markings on it were too detailed. If they were all true, it meant that the devil's every move was under his control.

And once the whereabouts of the demons are grasped, there is nothing to fear. If the demons really dare to confront them head-on, there is no need to secretly dig tunnels underground like this.

Amid the doubts and expectations of the two, Zhang Hua nodded and said, "Although I can't guarantee 100%, it's roughly like this. This is what I heard carefully when I went deep into the well.

Also, sir, you can also follow this route and send people to check the water tanks in people's homes along the way. As long as you spend more time, it is not difficult to obtain this data. "

Is it not difficult?

After hearing this, Zhao Rui and Qin County Lieutenant looked a little dull...

After looking at the route map in their hands and then looking up at Zhang Hua, both of them felt a wry smile in their hearts.

Perhaps, it is not difficult only for a little guy like Zhang Hua!
