Chapter 72 Chasing Suspicious Persons

Lao Sun smiled and said, "Hey, that's a general rule!"

The subordinates were speechless.

Children's Song raised a question: Qingcheng City has a population of nearly 20, and there are indeed a lot of rental houses. If we really use the human wave tactic to investigate, it might take half a year. Besides, the time span is huge. As soon as we checked out the rental house, maybe Song Xiaofan would move in.

"Well, it makes sense. Song Xiaofan doesn't dare to be exposed to the public, and it's impossible to use his ID card to register." Lao Sun said.

After a pause, she continued, "So, it is impossible for him to be found in regular rental houses."

Children's Song said, "Yes! So where will he live?"

“There happens to be some landlords who have extra housing space in their homes but there aren’t many.”

"But where are these types of landlords?" Zhu Lan was also confused.

Lao Sun rubbed his hands and thought for a moment before saying, "It shouldn't be in the city, but it could be in the old city, suburbs, or even in a village near Xilang Mountain."

The subordinates all looked up at her, waiting for her to assign tasks.

Sure enough, Lao Sun ordered everyone to investigate the villages near Xilang Mountain first.

However, that area is surrounded by mountains. Although there is a road on the outside, most of the villages are still very primitive.

It is impossible for Song Xiaofan to be found in Ailian Village, and it is also unlikely to be in Zhuyu Village. After all, Song Xiaofan once went to Zhuyu Village to look for Zhang Zhen, and someone in the village must have seen him.

There is a stone village behind Gulai Mountain for Tong Ge and Xiao Li to investigate. There is a Wisteria Village behind Ailian Village, and Lao Sun and Zhu Lan investigate. There is also Dongli Village several mountains behind Xilang Mountain. Whoever completes the task first will rush there.

When I first stepped into Wisteria Village, it was completely quiet. As an old man with a stooped back passed by, Lao Sun stepped forward and asked, only to find out that only the old people were left in the village, while the young people had all gone out to work.

When Lao Sun asked about renting a house, the nearly ninety-year-old man was confused for a long time and didn't understand.

The master and apprentice could only walk along the main intersection of the village.

On the other side, Tong Ge and Xiao Li saw an aunt who was loosening the soil and planting vegetables as soon as they arrived at the entrance of Stone Village.

Tong Ge asked the aunt, "Hello, which family in your village has rented out their house to others?"

"Um..." The aunt looked at the two grown men up and down, feeling very unfamiliar. She hesitated and asked, "Do you want to rent a house?"

"No, we are here to investigate the case." The two of them showed their police ID cards.

After the aunt put her head over and took a closer look, her bronzed skin instantly turned white, "What case?"

Children's Song said: "It's a secret for the time being. Is there any information?"

The aunt's attitude suddenly changed and she became very enthusiastic, "Yes, I happen to have a tenant in my house. Come and have a look!"

Seeing the police's actions, she couldn't help but suspect that the tenant was here.

Tong Ge and Xiao Li were a little hesitant.

The aunt simply threw away the hoe and led the way. As she walked, she looked back at them to see if they were following.

After walking for about ten minutes, the aunt walked to a small bungalow next to a building, "That person lives in it."

She deliberately lowered her voice, as if she was afraid of being heard by the people inside.

"Is he still in there now?" Tong Ge asked.

"You'll know if you knock on the door. I don't think he's been out today." The aunt deliberately put her mouth close to Tong Ge's ear as if gossiping.

He walked to the iron door and knocked on the door. After knocking for a long time, a man inside asked in a lazy voice: "Who is it? What's wrong, aunt?"

In the past, when Auntie came back from the vegetable garden, she would sometimes give him a small handful of vegetables.

But the aunt explained: "Xiaonian, come out and see who is coming?" The kind voice of the aunt was still outside the door.

The man didn't think of the worst.

He slid the iron gate, and the gate hit the iron door with a loud clang, and opened the door all of a sudden. Unexpectedly, what caught his eye were two grown men with serious expressions, and he understood at once.

Tong Ge saw that this man had bird's nest-like hair on his head, an unkempt beard, and serious dark circles under his eyes. He was just a middle-aged uncle.

"Wow!" The middle-aged uncle looked around as if he saw a monster. He spotted the gap between Auntie and Brother Tong and crawled out there.

Tong Ge still didn’t understand what was going on.

Xiao Li, who had been standing aside and silent for a long time, had already reacted, "Don't run!"

However, the middle-aged man looks greasy, but when he runs, he is not vague at all. He rushed forward along the path he had just come from, not even daring to look back.

Xiao Li's feet were in the wind, stepping on the sand and gravel on the road, and all he could see was the middle-aged man.

When I first saw this middle-aged man, he had a sinister look on his face, and his small eyes were darting around, just like a rat in the ditch.

It seems that he usually doesn't like to talk, but he is very attentive.

At this moment, the middle-aged uncle ran away as if running for his life.

"Don't run! It's okay, why are you running!" Xiao Li shouted, gradually closing the distance with his uncle.

The middle-aged uncle didn't explain. He obviously didn't have Song Xiaofan's face, but he felt more guilty than anyone else.

However, Tong Ge discovered something unusual. His eyes and mind were filled with the image of Song Xiaofan standing upside down.

He had seen a photo of Song Xiaofan and Ms. Wang from behind, which hung in the center of the living room. The photo was facing a chair, and it was difficult not to let him see it.

Tong Ge ran after Xiao Li, feeling that the person in reality was very similar to the person in memory. The back of the middle-aged uncle and Song Xiaofan's gradually overlapped.

"Xiao Li, catch him." He firmly believed that the man must be wearing makeup, and his makeup skills were quite good.

This kind of thing is not surprising, there is a very popular internet celebrity in the short video. That female Internet celebrity can match the makeup of today's celebrities. After a set of makeup, her face almost perfectly overlaps with that of the celebrity.

"Ouch!" Xiao Li didn't hear what the children's song said. Just when his hand was about to reach the middle-aged uncle, he was suddenly shaken by the stone under his feet. He stood up and found that the middle-aged uncle had run away again. At this moment, he was overwhelmed by anger.

"Stop, I order you to stop, do you hear me?" He was furious.

At this time, the middle-aged uncle turned a corner, detoured to the back of the house, and suddenly disappeared.

Xiao Li wished he had a pair of wings and could fly over and knock him down.

"Damn, that's so stupid." Xiao Li didn't bother to catch his breath and continued to pursue.

Who would have thought that if we took a detour to the back of the house, we would find the shadow of the middle-aged uncle there?
  Xiao Li was so angry that he kicked a tree next to the house. Unexpectedly, severe pain came from his toes, causing him to hold his feet in pain and scream, "Oh!"

At this time, Tong Ge rushed over and looked around, "Where are the people?"

"Run away from there." Xiao Li muttered toward the back of the house.

"Then why don't you chase me quickly? What are you doing?"

Xiao Li hurriedly shouted: "Be careful! There are slopes and big rocks behind that house!"

"No matter what he is, even if you go up mountains of swords and seas of fire, you can't back down!"

After finishing the children's song, he slid down the slope.
