Sourness

The result of offending Sheng Anxi...

It just didn't work out.

They still started on time and left the mountain village with a group of strong men carrying big bags.As for the trailer that Xiao Mao peeped at, Mi Yue observed carefully and found that it had been folded and packed into the package.

Or save it and take it out when you encounter a suitable terrain.

Mi Yue made a rough count, and there were about ten people in Sheng Anxi's team.The reason why I say roughly is because from time to time, two or three people will leave the team, and then at some point, there will be a few more new faces in the team.

Mi Yue has no doubt that there is another team heading for the same destination on another road.As for what equipment they used to keep in touch, he didn't see it.Sheng Anxi and his cronies were very wary of the master and apprentice. If Sheng Anxi hadn't taken the initiative to talk to them, they would not even be able to get past the guards and disrupt the order of the team.

Strange forests, strange animals, even the birds that occasionally fly over their heads are strange.

Miyue was still wounded, so in order not to worry Master, she kept holding on.But during the intense rush, he began to feel a little bit unbearable, and his face became more and more ugly.

In addition to the physical pain, his heart became more and more restless.If they don't even have a monkey and hedgehog around them, then no matter what abilities he has, he is useless.

When Jing Rong and his party felt Furongping, policeman Zhang Heng from the local police station was already waiting for them.

Zhang Heng is a young man of medium build, with a local accent. Fortunately, Jing Rong and his teammates have been performing missions near Lingxi Mountain in recent months, and they have had a lot of contact with the locals, so they can barely understand.What they didn't expect was that Ling Dongzhi could not only understand, but also speak a few simple words.

Ling Dongzhi gave him a suggestive look, "I was born here. My mother's hometown is in Dayan Mountain."

Jing Rong reacted for a while, remembering that Dayan Mountain is also a branch of Qinling Mountains, not far from Lingxi Mountain.In terms of orientation, Dayan Mountain is closer to the southeast than Lingxi Mountain.

As for being born here, it is said that he, Mi Yue, and Yan Qing were all children born in the mountains. As for why they were scattered all over the place...

Mi Yue hasn't told him yet.But I guess it won't be a reason for relaxation and pleasure.

It's not a natural disaster, it's a man-made disaster.

The original home must no longer exist.

Zhang Heng picked up his colleagues from other places who came to track down the robbers, and enthusiastically introduced the situation to them, "Furongping is a small place. When it was the most prosperous, there were no more than [-] households. Later, the country has a new policy, so you can't do it casually." As soon as the mountain and forest resources were developed, many people who came to invest from other places left. Most of the local young people also went to work outside, and now the population staying in the town is less than [-]."

Zhang Heng got into Jing Rong's car, and while showing them the way, he signaled them to pay attention to the closed and locked shops on the side of the road, "These houses are quite new, but no one buys them. There are few people, and there is nothing wrong with them." The floating population can’t do business. There is also a noodle restaurant in front of it. When it first opened, you have to queue up to eat, but now…”

As he said that, Zhang Heng shook his head, "The building next to the noodle shop is also theirs, and they are in the hotel business. It is also the information they provided for people from outside to stay here."

The noodle shop is not big, there are only four or five sets of tables and chairs in the lobby. The proprietress is an elderly woman with a yellow cat in her arms, watching TV behind the counter.Seeing Zhang Heng bringing people in, he quickly put down the cat in his arms, got up and greeted him.

The two chattered in local accents, then the proprietress turned back and took out a bunch of keys from the counter.

Zhang Heng said: "The proprietress said that after those people left, no one else lived in the room. You can take us there to have a look."

Jing Rong nodded.

If the people staying here are really that group of robbers, maybe Mi Yue and Lin Qingshan will find a chance to leave some clues.

When Ling Dongzhi went out, he couldn't help but take a second look at the cat nestled on the counter.He planned to ask it secretly later, maybe it could notice something that humans didn't notice.

While talking to Zhang Heng, the proprietress looked curiously at Jing Rong and his party.

Zhang Heng was in charge of translating for Jing Rong and the others, "There were several hotel businesses in our town that used to be in business, but they all closed down later, and they are the only ones left."

There are not many vehicles passing through Furongping, and there are few people staying in the hotel, so these people who came to stay at the hotel the night before yesterday attracted special attention. When the people from the police station visited, they asked if they saw any suspicious strangers. Just think of these people.

"There are six people in total, and they have requested two guest rooms." Zhang Heng said, "They are all young men in their twenties, and they wear similar clothes. They stayed in Furongping for one night, and the next morning someone rushed over from Changping, and they left together."

"who?"

"It's also a man, a young man." Zhang Heng said, "I drove a pickup truck, which was quite old. There were several big cardboard boxes in the truck."

At this time, Jing Rong was actually a little nervous. He felt that the young people mentioned by the proprietress might not be Lin Qingshan and his party.

He glanced at the proprietress, her hair was gray, and it was conservatively estimated that she must be sixty.From the perspective of her age, is Lin Qingshan considered a young man? !

The hotel is just across the road from the noodle restaurant, which is actually a unit of a residential building.There are four floors up and down, with two households on each floor, all converted into guest rooms by the proprietress.

These young men lived in two three-bed rooms on the second floor.

After the guests checked out, the room was cleaned and the bedding was neatly folded.The weather was hot and the windows were open, so there were no additional clues.

Jing Rong walked around the guest room with his teammates, looked everywhere, and even went to the bathroom to check, but unfortunately the proprietress did a thorough job of cleaning, and there wasn't even a single extra hair on the floor.

At this time, Jing Rong heard Brown Tang's panicked cry from the opposite door, and Ling Dongzhi raised his voice and called his name.

Jing Rong hurriedly led people over, and saw Brown Tang being dragged by Ling Dongzhi, barking at the door of the small room that was open.

The structure of the guest room opposite the door is slightly different. It is a two-bedroom household. There are two beds in the larger room, and one bed, a table and chairs in the smaller bedroom.

At this moment, Brown Tang was at the door of the single room, barking violently.

Its irascibility was also mixed with obvious fear. When Jing Rong came over, he saw that Brown Tang's tail was pinched, and his whole body was trembling.

Like an enemy.

Jing Rong pushed open the door, and saw that the single room was empty, the bedding was neatly folded, the window was open, and there was a green bonsai on the window sill.

He scanned the room and found nothing scary or suspicious.

"What's going on?" He asked Ling Dongzhi, "What did you find?"

"Smell." Panting, Ling Dongzhi tugged at the furious Gouzi. He was busy calming Brown Tang, but he didn't have time to say anything.

Brown Tang probably saw his companions gathered around him, and finally calmed down. He groaned into Ling Dongzhi's arms, frowned, and complained, "There is a terrible smell here. ! Something strange has come! It smells like the bad thing that came to attack Papa Tiger that night!"

Ling Dongzhi froze for a moment, wasn't it the snake that attacked the tiger's father? !I heard that Mi Yue also beat a poisonous one to death with a baseball bat.

Ling Dongzhi pulled Jing Rong over and relayed Brown Tang's words to him.

Jing Rong was taken aback by these words, "Is the thing still there?"

If there is a snake hidden in the room, it will be really difficult to catch for a while.

Ling Dongzhi shook his head, "It's already gone."

Jing Rong was surprised.He also has some understanding of Brown Sugar's character. The pampered young master is not afraid of anything, just the residual smell can make him so nervous... Could it be some kind of ferocious breed?

It's not a cobra, is it? !

Jing Rong's knowledge of poisonous snakes is limited, and he feels that the ferocity of cobras has come to an end.

He told his teammates to be more careful. Zhang Heng and the proprietress were also invited out of the room. The proprietress didn't know why, but Zhang Heng was a little nervous.

He was just an ordinary film policeman, and he usually dealt with trivial cases most of the time, and the more serious ones were getting drunk and fighting.He has never encountered such a major case as kidnapping.

Jing Rong and his teammates searched the small room, but luckily they didn't find any animals that shouldn't be there.The room was kept clean inside and out.

And from a human point of view, he didn't smell anything special either.

But Brown Tang was still very nervous, leaning against the door with his tail between his legs, refusing to come in desperately.

Ling Dongzhi had no choice but to stand at the door and remind Jing Rong, "Check carefully the open space by the window."

According to Brown Sugar, the terrible smell came from that direction.

The room is not big, barely eight or nine square meters, and the bed and a set of tables and chairs beside the bed already take up more than half of the space in the room.

The wooden floor was covered with a layer of gray-green short-pile carpet, which was neatly tidied up.

The open space under the window is less than one square meter, and it is empty.

Jing Rong squatted down and reached out to touch the carpet.He noticed that there were some slight marks on the pile of the carpet, as if something had been pressed here before.

Moving his fingers across the carpet, his fingertips suddenly touched something.

Jing Rong put on gloves, took out the evidence bag from his pocket, and picked up the small hard piece stuck between the fluff with tweezers.

It was a hard piece the size of a pea grain, translucent film texture, very light gray, looking at the sun, there seemed to be extremely fine circles of lines on the gray background.

Jing Rong suddenly understood what it was.

This is a scale.

A scale that fell from the body of a venomous snake.

Brown sugar is still very useful ^_^
