Kaifeng Cat and Mouse Detective Manuscript
Chapter 72 There Are Long Whales in the East China Sea 16
The two avoided the maid on the island and went out of the yard, and went around to the woods where Shen Liren and the woman disappeared last night.The weather was not bad last night. After entering Linzi Baiyutang and Zhan Zhao, I found some grass blades that had been trampled on.
"Look at this footprint,? It should have gone to...another island? Cat, let me go and have a look." Bai Yutang squatted on the ground, in front of him there was an obvious trace of people passing by, and he continued to move forward along the wall ,? Looking at the direction, it is leading to the suspension bridge.
"No way,? Unless brother Shen was stunned by the woman's medicine here? Or there was an accident when he came back? It's impossible to go to another island with him."
Zhan Zhao shook his head and pointed to the forest.The suspension bridge is too long, and there is nothing on it for people to cover up. As long as two people get on the suspension bridge one after another, even if the woman has no martial arts, she can easily find out that someone is following her.
"I'm still a little worried,? Let's split up, you are here, I'll go to another island."
People come and go on this island, if Shen Liren is captured, he probably won't be locked up nearby, but the other one is different,? From their point of view,? It's deserted,? It's more suitable for hiding things.
"We don't know each other well, it's too dangerous for the two of us to act separately."
Zhan Zhao blinked his eyes a few times, he was also worried that Shen Liren would encounter an accident, but he didn't know if an ambush had been set up on the other island or here, and it was always too risky to act alone, so he didn't agree, but turned back to the woods and walked along the road. Searching for the place where the two of them came over just now, trying to find something else.
"Hey, don't rush to refuse!"
Bai Yutang followed with his hands behind his back, watching Zhan Zhao's giant sword point scratching the ground, as if he didn't want to hear him continue.
"Today the Dongying people are holding a meeting. No matter what, they will definitely spend all their energy here, and there are probably not many people on the other side. Moreover, whether it is organs or drugs, it is a piece of cake for me. Let's split up That's what's most beneficial."
Bai Yutang followed Zhan Zhao and explained, seeing that his attention was on the ground, he went straight to the front and reached out to grab Zhan Zhao's sleeve.
"That's what you say," Zhan Zhao straightened up and looked at Bai Yutang, "But"
"You just listen to me. It's still early in the afternoon. If we hurry up, maybe we can find some clues." Bai Yutang stopped Zhan Zhao's words, and pointed to the wall not far away.
It was still quiet there, and it was shrouded in mist a little farther away. Except for the cleaning maid, there were no other Dongying people in and out of the courtyard.
"At most two hours, we will meet in the back room."
After two hours, the meeting will almost start. If neither of them can find Shen Liren, it can only be said that he was deliberately locked up.Zhan Zhao knew that persuasion was useless, so after making an appointment with Bai Yutang, one ran along the direction of the suspension bridge, and the other ran towards the high and low mountains behind the fence.
The building on the island is located on flat ground, backed by countless forests and rocky cliffs.Zhan Zhaofei put on the fence, jumped all the way to the top of the roof and looked down, there were already Dongying guards coming out of the yard.Looking at the suspension bridge, Bai Yutang's figure turned into a small white dot, and he was about to go ashore.Behind the roof is a huge tree with a few branches just hanging on the ridge of the roof. Zhan Zhao holds the giant que in his left hand and grabs the trunk with his right. Using his strength, he jumps from one tree to another, looking for strange places in the forest. .
It's a pity that there are weeds everywhere, and there are no traces of living things moving around.Zhan Zhao searched through half of the forest, but did not find any traces, and the only thing left was the rocky cliff closest to the coast on the other side.The trees on the cliff gradually became less and less, and gradually turned into low shrubs as tall as a person. Zhan Zhao bent down and climbed up the cliff along the ridge. When he looked down, he accidentally found more than ten Dongying people on the coast. Walking in pairs with arms.
There is definitely something down here.
At this time, the sun has not come over yet, Zhan Zhao is ready to go down to explore, but the cliff top is hundreds of meters high from the beach, it is very risky to jump down lightly.
Zhan Zhao thought for a while and took out a flat treasure bag from his bosom, took out a long and thin rope from it, found a place with trees on the side of the cliff, and fastened the end with curved claws to the rock on the top of the cliff. The rope is half the length of the cliff, and when he gets to the middle of the cliff, Zhan Zhao loosens his palm and uses the raised stone to stabilize Steady fall.
The coast was almost empty, and Zhan Zhao rolled over and hid behind a rock and looked towards the place guarded by the Dongying people, but he didn't know if there was a mechanism or something, and there was no hole or anything beside them.Just when Zhan Zhao wanted to take the risk to go there to explore, a gap gradually opened at the place where the rocky cliff connected to the beach, Zhan Zhao quickly lowered his head, only his eyes were exposed.
Seeing that the gap was getting bigger and bigger, Zhan Zhao realized that it was a movable stone slab. If he hadn't looked closely, he probably wouldn't have noticed it at all, but when it suddenly opened, someone must be coming out.
After the stone slab had completely risen and stopped, first a man holding a torch came out from inside, and he looked like he was not from Dongying, and then the man was standing on the edge of the cliff, and two men came out from inside, one of whom Zhan Zhao knew was Aoki .And the other one was dressed as Zhong Yuan, the two were too far away from him, even if Zhan Zhao had good ears, he couldn't hear what they said in this situation.
The two stood outside for a long time after they came out. Zhan Zhao suspected that the Central Plains man might have something to do with the East China Sea government, because from just now, it seemed that Aoki had always been polite to the men with him, and Ouyang Chun had explained this from the beginning. The conference was organized by the government.
After a long while, Aoki, the man, and the guards on the beach left from the other side. When they turned around the rock and disappeared, Zhan Zhao patted his clothes and stood up. Before he could stand still, he saw something coming from behind him. .
The first thought in Zhan Zhao's mind was to be discovered, so he quickly raised the giant gate to block it, and when the thing fell to the ground, he realized that it was a stone that could be seen everywhere.
"Hey, come here!"
Zhan Zhao raised his head and looked in the direction of the stone, the one squatting over there was the woman Shen Liren followed last night?At this time, she was half hidden in the bushes, with her upper body sticking out from the bushes, her hands folded around her mouth, and mouth-shaped towards Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao never expected to see her here, and judging by her expression, it seemed that she came here to find him, so he walked over and asked, "Girl, why are you here?"
"Hey, I came here specially to find you. Walk around. I'll take you to meet the man who followed me last night."
After the woman said a word, she quickly pulled Zhan Zhao's cuff to walk along the bushes.Zhan Zhao let go of Qiao Jin indiscriminately, and blocked her way, instead of following him directly: "The one who followed you last night was arrested by you?"
"I catch? Bah! If there is no aunt, he would have gone into the sea to feed the fish by now!"
It was fine if Zhan Zhao didn't ask, but when he asked, the woman put her hands on her hips, her face was full of disgust, it didn't look like she was telling a lie.
"………Excuse me"
Zhan Zhao was silent for a while, ready to ask more questions, but saw the woman wave her hand again and said: "You should hurry up and follow me, you see I have no power to restrain you, and I will not do anything to you when you see him." Know what's going on."
"Thank you..."
Seeing that the woman didn't want to say more for the time being, it seemed that she planned to wait until she saw Shen Liren to tell, and Zhan Zhao couldn't continue asking.
The woman walked quickly, Zhan Zhao didn't expect that she would take her all the way back to the forest where she parted ways with Bai Yutang just now.
"Hey, let's go in through the small door."
The woman walked to the edge of the wall, Zhan Zhao looked at the wall, there was no small door here, and seeing her squatting under the wall, moving away a piece of wood standing against the wall with both hands, Zhan Zhao realized that the small door she was talking about was actually a small door. dog hole.
"I'll go in first, are you... hey, hey? What look in your eyes?"
The woman moved the wooden plank to one side, propped her hands on the ground to scrape away the weeds, and glanced at Zhan Zhao before climbing in, only to find that he had a strange look in his eyes, and she was dissatisfied immediately.
"No, Zhan is not... well, girl, just go in first."
Zhan Zhao rubbed his nose, his face returned to normal, and he made a gesture of invitation to the woman. When she was about to climb in, Zhan Zhao took a few steps back and jumped towards the fence. Settle down inside.
"...You warriors, forget it, come with me."
The woman was obviously stunned when she turned around and saw Zhan Zhao, then she clapped her hands, not caring that her skirt was stained with mud, she just moved the wooden frame in the courtyard to the entrance of the cave, and ran to the side door, Zhan Zhao followed closely Come here.
This place is quite big, Zhan Zhao followed her around seven times and eight times, and finally stopped in a remote courtyard.
"He's inside, he should wake up by now."
The woman walked to the dilapidated woodshed and pushed open the door, pointing inside and facing Zhan Zhaodao.
Zhan Zhao raised his head, and sure enough the person lying on the mat in the middle was not Shen Liren.Without waiting for the woman's reaction, Zhan Zhao quickly went in, patted Shen Liren's shoulder with his hand, and called softly, "Brother Shen? Brother Shen?"
"Huh? Zhan Zhao... This is me?" After several times, Shen Licai woke up faintly, obviously not yet able to understand the current situation, "Didn't I get drugged and thrown into the sea by the Dongying people?"
"Prescribe the medicine and throw it into the sea? What's the matter?" Zhan Zhao helped Shen Liren up and asked.
"He, he is not capable enough, he followed me obstinately, and lost me in the end. He didn't expect to be discovered by the Dongying people."
Before Shen Liren could answer, the woman's voice came from the door.
"Miss knows about this?" Zhan Zhao said.
"Of course, I fished him out of the sea." The woman listened to her head, took out a pot of tea and a few steamed buns from the basket in her hand, and put them in front of Shen Liren, "Last night, when I got out of the woods, I He went to the seaside, but he was one step too late and was discovered by the Dongpu people. Those people are not good at the front, but they are good at using poison and medicine."
"Yes, I remember they didn't know what they spilled, and they couldn't remember it after that." Shen Liren agreed.
"The girl knows this group of people very well? What did you mean when you said that disaster was imminent that night?"
This woman can come and go freely on the island, she must be very familiar with it, but she looks down on those Dongying people in her words, and she must not have anything to do with the government.An enemy's enemy is a friend, maybe she will know the purpose of the Dongying people holding the conference this time.
"I don't know the Dongying people, but I know the people who connect with them. By the way, my name is Xu Li. Zhan Nanxia may not know Xu's surname, but Lord Shen must have heard of it, right?"
Xu Li smiled slightly, put the basket aside and crossed his legs in front of the two of them, picked up a piece of steamed bun and said while biting.
"Xu... Could it be that Xu Su, the number one pirate in the East China Sea, had something to do with you more than 20 years ago?" Shen Liren lowered his eyes and thought, then suddenly raised his head.
"Look at this footprint,? It should have gone to...another island? Cat, let me go and have a look." Bai Yutang squatted on the ground, in front of him there was an obvious trace of people passing by, and he continued to move forward along the wall ,? Looking at the direction, it is leading to the suspension bridge.
"No way,? Unless brother Shen was stunned by the woman's medicine here? Or there was an accident when he came back? It's impossible to go to another island with him."
