Heavenly Dao Formula

It was not two quarters in the afternoon, Nancheng District.

Li Xing and Zhao Dahai found a tea stall on the side of the street and temporarily avoided the sun above them.

At this time, when the sun was the strongest, the soil on the streets was blanched; there was no cloud in the sky, and there was no shadow on the ground for everyone to avoid. The people who live here take a nap, nap, and enjoy the coolness, so that the figures on the road are diluted a lot.

"Guest, would you like something to drink? Here are white water, herbal tea, sour plum soup and sesame soup."

"Ordinary tea will do."

"Okay, I'll take it for you!"

"Huh... it's really not that easy to find." Zhao Dahai shook his collar. "The evil cases were all ten years ago. Even going to the scene doesn't help much, not to mention the places where evil is infested. People who happened to be killed by the Donghai Gang. That kid thought about it too simply."

"We only need to do our best. As for the result, it is beyond our control." Li Xing said with a light smile, "but your apprentice is ingenious. You can trace the source of abnormal death through the distribution of evil events. It is true for most people. Unexpectedly."

"He has nothing else, but there are so many ideas." Zhao Dahai took the green tea and drank most of it in one breath.

"I'm a little bit concerned," Li Xing looked at the row of buildings across the street, "Generally speaking, how many people have to die in vain if the atmosphere of gathering is strong enough to produce charm?"

"Well... it mainly depends on whether the mood swings are big or not, and it has a certain relationship with whoever died." Zhao Dahai smacked, "but in general, there are more than a dozen people, sometimes dozens of people. Not surprising."

More than a dozen people...If you count the number of evil cases, what you get is not a small number.

"That's weird. This place doesn't look like it can handle more than a hundred people without being discovered." After some visits, they have narrowed the scope to the junction of Chengnan Zhengshou Street and Wangfu Street. This area happened to be connected to the four evil cases, and the suspicion was the greatest. The layout of the houses is connected to the left and right, lined up on both sides of the street, which can be described as extremely regular.

Most of the houses on the first floor are shops, **** shops, and wine shops, and the upper floors are residences, not as if they can accommodate a gang.

As for the luxurious mahogany house in front of the tea stand, it occupies a large enough area, but it is essentially composed of two buildings, with the brothel on the left and the inn on the right. Together, the two take up about half of Wangfu Street, and it is as high as three floors. It looks magnificent.

It's just that they are really the brothel and the inn. The two of them strolled around the building and found nothing unusual.

"Indeed." Zhao Dahai agreed, "Fortunately, the inn, the brothel, I can't be more familiar with it. At night, it is much more lively than during the day. Moreover, these two houses are open to welcome guests, and there are all kinds of people. How could it be possible to kill hundreds of people in fifteen years and still quietly. Unless..."

"Unless what?" Li Xing asked quickly.

Although the other party's appearance is not good, it seems ordinary, but at any rate it is the master of the superior, and the external perception may just be hiding.

"Unless they chop up people and send them to the kitchen."

"Puff—" Li Xing just drank the tea from his mouth, "Your thoughts are really... sensational."

"I think that the guys from the East China Sea Gang have done it." Zhao Dahai said, "There are so many places to go, and we can't see any strange things in this world."

"But we need to pay attention to evidence when handling a case. What's more, what we want to investigate is not the other party’s methods, but a gang’s hiding place." Li Xing smiled helplessly, "How about we walk around these two streets a few more times, see See what you can find?"

"That's all." Zhao Dahai took out two copper plates and patted them on the table, "Perhaps there will be clues on the other side when we go back."

They walked out of the tea stall and headed west along the Long Street. When they reached Wangfu Street, Li Xing stopped abruptly.

What's wrong.

"what happened to you?"

Li Xing didn't answer immediately, but turned his head and looked at the other end of the street. After a while, he said, "Is this street... this long?"

"Long? All right." Zhao Dahai scratched his head, "isn't it just an ordinary dirt road?"

"Why do I think it seems to be getting longer..."

"Hey, don't scare me. It's broad daylight. Even if ghosts build walls, don't build them on the road—"

"I didn't mean that." Li Xing waved his hand. "The lengthening I said is a literal extension and has nothing to do with evil."

"Then do you know how long it was originally?" Zhao Dahai curiously asked.

"do not know."

"I don't know how to compare? Are you fainted by the sun?"

"I made the comparison based on this house." Li Xing turned and walked towards the tea stand.

Zhao Dahai had to keep up.

Back at the tea stand, Xiao Er smiled eagerly, "Guest, do you want something to drink?"

However, Li Xing ignored the other party and directly crossed the street and started walking between the brothel and the inn.

This time, he walked extremely slowly.

When the shadow of the three-story building disappeared under his feet, Li Xing stopped.

"Any questions?"

"Let's go back to the brothel again."

Zhao Dahai sighed, "You have to tell me somehow, what are you looking for?"

"I'm not looking for something, but measuring the number of steps." Li Xing explained.

"Step count?"

"Yes, I've been in this business a lot, and I'm used to estimating the distance by the number of steps. Sometimes even if I don't deliberately count, there will be a number in my head." He paused, "But we were crossing just now. This house doesn’t seem to go that far."

"No... go that far?" Zhao Dahai frowned.

"It may also be an illusion, so I have to go again."

The two got into the gate of the brothel and walked straight upstairs. At this time, when it was not open, there were only a few customers who wanted to grab the first card in the lobby, but no one cared about their entry and exit.

The second floor is a straight road~www.ltnovel.com~ There are stairs at both ends, and there are wing rooms on the left and right. It only took ten breaths of time before Li Xing walked from one end to the other.

What's wrong becomes more obvious.

Here, he only took one hundred and nine steps.

But on the street, he had to walk a full 117 steps to reach the edge of the house!

After that is the inn.

And the result is the same!

When Li Xing stopped on the side of the stairs against the wall, the number of steps was more than ten steps less than outside.

The two sides add up to a distance of twenty steps, almost the width of a wine shop.

"This...what the **** is going on?" Zhao Dahai was also a little puzzled. From the outside, he found that the two stores were obviously close to each other. Even if the wooden wall has a thickness, it can't deviate by twenty steps!

Is there something else inside this house?
