The wedding dress wraps the sword, Bo Jun smiles

Hearing Ye Xingguan's question, the catcher replied: "Ye Gongzi probably hasn't seen such a low-level trick like Mixiang, so I don't know much about it. Mixiang is actually like incense. You have to smell it to get off the hook." However, generally there are very few scents that can be smelled to make people stunned, and it will take a period of time to take effect."

"At this time, if the person concerned is strong in martial arts and just holds his breath, he can still resist for a while. Miss You is also a person with kung fu, but there is no sign of resistance here. We have every reason to think that she was in a dream. If you are fascinated, otherwise you will definitely not leave even the slightest trace of struggle."

"Of course there is no sign of struggle at all. There are two possibilities. One is that Miss You was fascinated by someone using Mixiang in her sleep, and the other is that the other party is so strong in martial arts that Miss You has no power to resist. Or, the thieves don’t need to use Mixiang at all, and we don’t need to investigate.”

At this point, the head catcher reached out to touch the tent, rubbed the dust in his hands, and continued: "If it is the former, there are two types. One is that the thieves blow incense from outside the house, and the other One is that they blow incense directly inside the house. We have seen the windows before, and there are no holes or signs of new gauze replacement, and there are no damages or leaks in other parts of the house, so the thieves probably did not carry out the operation outside the house. The act of blowing incense, but directly hiding in the house, waited until Miss You fell asleep before shooting her into a coma."

The corners of You Jianqing's eyes twitched when he heard this, and the hand holding the sword couldn't help but tense.But he still wanted to struggle for a while, and asked, "Have you checked the roof? Could it be that they came in from the roof blowing incense?"

The head catcher said: "This is the second point I want to talk about. Why do I look for the soot on the tent instead of the bedding? Because of incense or smoke, after all, they are all a kind of smoke. Smoke It always rises by transpiration, so it is easier to attach to the bed curtain. If the thieves move a little on the tile and then blow in the incense, then they need to expend a lot of energy, and it is easy to inhale the incense by themselves."

After hearing this, You Jianqing nodded, expressing his understanding.

In addition, the head catcher spoke about some other judgments of his own.

For example, he thinks that the reason why the thieves did not wait for You Xiyue to fall asleep before entering: the house that You Xiyue rented was an old house of some years, and because it was an old house, the foundation would inevitably collapse. The owner doesn't have a lot of leisure time to renovate every year, so every time the door is opened, it will rub against the ground, making a harsh sound of wood and stone rubbing against each other.

This kind of rubbing sound, because it is sharp and piercing, can easily wake people up in the quiet night.The head catcher didn't think the thieves could sneak in late at night under such circumstances.But the head catcher didn't think that the other party sneaked in through the window. The window was originally narrow. If the thief wanted to sneak in through it, he had to be thin and thin, so he had practiced bone shrinking skills.

Because several windows were bolted during the inspection, the headhunter also ruled out such speculation for the time being.

As for the rest, it was a matter of where the thief hid before You Xiyue went to bed.

The police officers checked under the bed, in the closet and in the dressing room, but found no sign of the thief.Although it is not easy to leave traces in some places, it is also not easy to hide the figure, so the possibility of being arrested is ruled out.And the place where it is easy to hide the body from being discovered, such as under the bed, after observing the state of the dust, everyone did not find any traces left by the culprits.

Finally, the beam is on.

Catcher opened his mouth and asked his subordinates: "Where is Xiao Liu? Why hasn't he come here yet?"

A young policeman replied: "I don't know, the third brother went to find someone but he didn't come back, did he not find someone or something happened?"

The head catcher was silent for a while, then swept a few clumsy juniors, sighed and said, "Forget it, I'll do it myself."

Then he lifted up the hem of his official uniform, tied it around his waist, walked to the side beam, and turned to the policeman, "Give me the hook."

The catcher hurriedly found the Flying Tiger Claw attached to the rope from the box beside him, and handed it to the head catcher.

The head catcher threw the Flying Tiger Claw onto the roof beam and pulled it firmly.He should have been a vigorous fighter when he was young, but his current figure is really strong, and he is extremely clumsy when he grabs the rope and steps on the wall to climb up.

After climbing up the beam, he didn't step on the beam directly, but just hung on the rope hook like that, and then asked the arrester for a torch.After the catcher threw him the torch and the torch, the head catcher clamped the handle of the torch under his arm, shook the torch to light the torch, and then pointed it at the beam.

Then Ye Xingguan heard the other party shout: "I found it! The thief was indeed lying in ambush on the roof beam!"

When Ye Xingguan heard this sentence, he didn't want to wait any longer, but he raised his foot and tapped the ground, and his whole body jumped up lightly like a butterfly, and landed on the beam.

As a result, the head catcher yelled, "Don't step on it!"

Ye Xingguan was in the air and couldn't use his strength to turn around. Hearing this cry, he suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath, pierced it into the beam, and then used the sword's momentum to block it a little, turned around in the air and landed again. On the long sword inserted into the beam.

The beating heart in Catcher's heart fell back to its original place.

Ye Xingguan was hanging in mid-air, and he could just see the positions of the footprints on the beams of the house.After deliberating for a while, he finally chose a location, pulled the long sword from the pillar, and then picked a location where it would not damage the shoe prints and other imprints.

The head catcher saw that his location would not destroy the traces left by the bandits, so he didn't stop him, but said aloud: "Mr. Ye, my current location is not very convenient, can you help me to see that shoe Are the prints the same size? If they are the same, what is the approximate size? If not, can you tell me what size they are?"

After hearing this, Ye Xingguan squatted down and carefully observed the shoe prints, eliminated a few blurred ones, and finally chose two clear ones after careful observation and replied: "The texture and size are roughly the same at first glance. Are they the same? The same person is not clear. It is about eight inches long and nearly three inches wide."

The head catcher heard this, and said, "The length is about eight inches and the width is nearly three inches... In this way, the other party is probably at least a grown man with a height of seven feet. Big head, you give the ruler to Mr. Ye and let him measure the exact size."

Hearing this, the young policeman obediently threw the wooden ruler up.

Ye Xingguan reached out to catch it, and measured the exact size. The young policeman named Big Head took a booklet and wrote it down.

Then the head catcher supported the beam of the house with his hands, took off the flying tiger's claws, and landed like a huge stupid bear with an astonishing tonnage.Most of the young policemen felt that the moment their head caught the ground, the whole room seemed to shake, almost like an earthquake.

On the contrary, it was Ye Xingguan who landed after the headhunting, worthy of being the best among the young masters of Jiangnan Road.The sound of falling to the ground, and the fluttering of clothes and sleeves are silent, let alone for now, just like the posture is as graceful as an exiled immortal, it is really pleasing to the eye.

For a while, most of the small policemen's original prejudice against broken sleeves disappeared. They only felt that if the target was a handsome and talented young man like Ye Xingguan, broken sleeves seemed to be a very normal thing.

You Jianqing didn't know what happened to the expressions of understanding or admiration that the young policemen gave him, and he didn't care about it.At this time, all his thoughts were focused on the fact that his sister might fall into the hands of a strange and rough man, but he had no intention of worrying about some trivial matters when he saw it.

After the head catcher landed, he asked, "Do you know the identity of the other party?"

The headhunter said: "There are too few clues at present, so it is impossible to infer."

You Jianqing suddenly fell silent.

Seeing his appearance, the chief catcher greeted his subordinates and said, "Go to another room. Maybe there will be other clues."

The other house is the room where Bai Shuwen lives.You Xiyue and him disappeared at the same time, so the arrester thought that there must be some clues in Bai Shuwen's house to help them solve the case.

As the police officers went out, Ye Xingguan did not leave with them immediately, but stayed at the end, reaching out and gently holding You Jianqing's cold fingers hidden in his sleeve.

It was rare for him to speak comfortingly and said: "Don't worry, it's okay. Nothing will happen to that girl, and I won't let her have any accident."

Hearing what he said, You Jianqing was stunned for a moment, then took Ye Xingguan's hand backhand, and said: "Don't worry about me, I'm just thinking about the possible identity of the other party. There should be someone who is responsible for kidnapping. The reason? I just wanted to see if it might be some enemy of Mingjian Villa."

Ye Xingguan said: "The people who disappeared this time have various identities. Maybe that girl was involved by accident, not necessarily related to Mingjian Villa."

You Jianqing said: "It's true."

He smiled, as if he wanted to prove to Ye Xingguan that he was fine.But in Ye Xingguan's view, You Jianqing's smile was actually very forced and pale.

The strength he held on You Jianqing's fingers suddenly increased a little.

Sometimes he felt that he actually envied You Xiyue.For Ye Xingguan, elder brother is something that sometimes he can't describe the existence of a specific image even in his dreams.

Because I have never owned it, I cannot describe it.

For a moment, Ye Xingguan almost wanted to lean on You Jianqing by himself, lying on You Jianqing's back and hugging him.

You Jianqing is taller than Ye Xingguan, Ye Xingguan thinks it's not just because of age.But also because of this, to Ye Xingguan, You Jianqing has always looked like an elder brother.

Sometimes Ye Xingguan would have an illusion that he could rely on the other person a little bit.

Just like relying on your father, relying on your grandfather.

But he finally gave up on the idea.Because he knew that You Jianqing was always You Xiyue's elder brother, not his.In his whole life, he could only support the Red Leaf Villa if he straightened his back and walked on.

He shouldn't have thought of relying on anyone from the beginning to the end.Even, Ye Xingguan would tell himself time and time again that this kind of thinking is stupid and cowardly.He is a man, he is no longer a child.From the day his grandfather passed away, he was already a man who had the responsibility to shoulder the responsibility of the entire Hongye Mountain Villa, so he could not be weak or give up, and he would always be the one who was relied on by others instead of relying on others people.

Afterwards, Ye Xingguan helped the headhunters search for traces on the beams of Bai Shuwen's house, and found another pair of footprints belonging to a man.According to the inference of the headhunter, he is still a big man over seven feet tall, but it seems that he is not the same person as the one in You Xiyue's house, because the size and texture of the soles are different.

"So what we know now is that there are at least two bandits in this group, and they are all martial artists with good lightness skills?" Ye Xingguan asked, "Are there any other more detailed clues?"

The head catcher replied helplessly: "If there are traces of fighting, we can still deduce the origin based on the weapons used by the opponent and the number of martial arts. But there has never been a fight, so it is very difficult to judge the origin of the opponent .”

Then he paused, and then continued: "I can find a way to get people to investigate the number of drugs used by the thieves and find out what the source is. But don't put too much hope on this point, after all, with the current In the case of continuous crimes, the other party may be a group of thieves who fled from other places."

Ye Xingguan nodded, and only said two words: "As soon as possible!"

Later, when the Nanzhou government was busy investigating the ingredients and origin of the drug, Ye Xingguan and You Jianqing went to a restaurant for a meal.You Jianqing ate this meal a little absent-mindedly, Ye Xingguan also found that the other party's mind wandered a lot when talking to him, so he didn't talk to him again.

The two were eating quietly, and then Ye Xingguan heard the voices of diners talking.

"...how many times is this this month?"

"Is it the ninth or the tenth pile?"

"This matter should be regarded as incompetent by the state government. Even though the city has been sealed off and searched all the way, the flower picker still hasn't been caught. Let alone caught, I don't even know the shape and appearance of the other party..."

Ye Xingguan listened to the other party's discussion for a while, only to realize that this time the bandit had appeared in Suzhou City again, and made two cases in succession, all of them were robbing beautiful people who were sixteen or seventeen years old and in their prime. Miss, a little inspiration suddenly flashed in my heart.

After the two met with the head catcher, the other party's reply deepened his idea.

The catcher said: "There is nothing special about this incense itself, it is a drug that can be dispensed by many pharmacies. However, the pharmacies in Nanzhou do not sell such harmful substances, and no one has bought them recently. .We are currently inquiring about the big brothels and Chu halls."

Ye Xingguan nodded and said, "Thank you, my lord."

After returning to Mingjian Villa, You Xin asked about the specific situation, and You Jianqing spoke up.After Chu Hongyan heard it, his expression became more and more anxious and distressed, but he couldn't help but let out a groan.

You Jianqing had no choice but to comfort her as much as possible.

But with little success.Chu Hongyan mourned for a long time, and suddenly said: "I want to go out of the village to find her!"

After hearing this, You Xin was stunned for a moment, and then said: "Don't mess around! Many disciples have already been sent out, so what can you do alone?"

But Chu Hongyan said: "They are them, and I am me. My own daughter was taken away by bandits. How can I, as a mother, sit at home? Whether I can find it or not, I will always look for it."

At this time, Ye Xingguan suddenly interjected and said, "I have an idea."

Everyone immediately looked up at him.

"Suzhou seems to have gone missing again in the past few days. Since we have no clue now, should we try to lure the snake out of the hole?"

You Xin asked: "How to lure the snake out of the hole?"

However, Ye Xingguan took out an envelope from his pocket, handed it to You Xin, and said, "Look, this is the list of missing persons that I have requested from the state officials so far."

You Xin opened the envelope, pulled out the letter paper inside, glanced at the words on it, and suddenly hesitated: "This list——"

Then he stopped.

Ye Xingguan waited for a while but didn't wait for the second half of You Xin's sentence, so he asked, "...how is it?"

You Xin shook his head and said, "It's nothing, I misread it just now. The identities and backgrounds of these people...seem to be irregular."

Ye Xingguan was silent for a while, then stretched out his slender fingers, clicked a few places on the stack of lists, and said, "These few... are all well-known local handsome men and beauties."

You Xin asked: "You mean...!?"

Ye Xingguan said: "The ones who were taken away from Suzhou City this time are the two most famous ladies in the city."

You Xin thought for a while and said, "If that's the case, why did they kidnap Xiyue?"

You Jianqing didn't expect her father to say such a sentence so easily, and remembering that You Xiyue said that she was an ugly monster in tears before, she gritted her teeth and said to You Xin with a more serious tone: "Father! Xiyue is not good Is it ugly!?"

You Xin was stunned for a moment before he realized what he had said, then immediately glared at You Jianqing who corrected him, and then said: "My girl, why do I think she is ugly? I just mean, if she is so beautiful at this time If the adulterer did it, the target should also be a girl from the Sheng family or a girl from the Liu family in the east of the city. Anyway, your sister is no match for her, right?"

The two girls mentioned by You Xin are both well-known beauties in Nanzhou City.Even if the locals have never seen them, they have heard of their rumors.

In comparison, You Xiyue is just a pitiful little girl. Others have the most impression of her as the eldest lady of the famous sword villa, the younger sister of the first sword in the south of the Yangtze River. Fiancee" status.But other than that, she doesn't have the title of beauty.

You Jianqing was speechless immediately.He also had no choice but to say that his younger sister was prettier than the girls from Chengdong Sheng's family and Liu's family.

Fortunately, You Xiyue had been taken away at this time and was not there, so she didn't have to bear the double blow from her father and brother.

Ye Xingguan was not interested in whether You Xiyue was ugly or not, and he didn't bother to file a lawsuit with the father and son, so he just said: "Let's say that the other party has no rules when it comes to robbing, but at least he likes beautiful men and women. Wrong. Most of the list of people who have been kidnapped so far are unmarried local men and women with a good reputation. In this case, we might as well use this as bait to lure them to appear."

After hearing this, You Jianqing originally wanted to ask what to do, but when he looked up and saw Ye Xingguan looking at him with a smile, he was stunned, and then asked, "Are you going to use yourself as a bait?"

If it is said who is the most handsome man in Jiangnan Road, who else is there besides Ye Xingguan?

Seeing that he was silent, Ye Xingguan asked, "What's the matter? Don't you think it's suitable?"

You Jianqing sighed, looked at him and said: "First of all, you are already married. Secondly, if he wanted to kidnap you, he should have done it when he was in Yuhang before. Since he didn't do anything to you before, it means that he either wants to kidnap you. Not interested, or he has scruples about you."

But You Jianqing thinks it is the latter.

In his heart, he always thought that Ye Xingguan was the most beautiful person he had ever met, but if the other party smiled a few times, he might take away the souls of passers-by.The so-called beauties in Nanzhou or Yuhang have no qualifications to compare with Ye Xingguan, at least in terms of bearing and momentum, they are not at the same level as Ye Xingguan.

Under such circumstances, he felt that it was absolutely impossible for that "flower picker" to "not want" to rob Ye Xingguan, but he just didn't dare.

After all, the reputation of Hongye Villa and Duanming Xingguan in Yuhang and even in the entire Jiangnan Road is not something that ordinary Jianghu masters dare to provoke.

Ye Xingguan said: "If that's the case, it doesn't matter. When we go to Suzhou this time, I will find another identity to pretend to be someone else, and then show up a few times in public to lure him out."

After hearing this, You Xin felt that this idea was taken for granted, but there was really no other better solution, so he just said in the end: "Then you have to be careful."

Ye Xingguan nodded and said, "Uncle, don't worry. I will never act recklessly."

Because of such a plan, the two changed their faces and put on human skin masks, pretending to be ordinary people and rushing to Suzhou City.

After arriving in the city, Ye Xingguan went straight to one of the big families in the city with You Jianqing, the Liu family in the south of the city where the eldest lady had just disappeared.

When the two knocked on the gate of Liu Mansion, the concierge who appeared didn't treat them well, so he said to them impatiently: "There is something in the mansion, the master hasn't seen any visitors recently, if you don't have a name card, go away. Don't be annoying."

You Jianqing smiled and said, "Master, let me tell you. We are from Yuhang, and we came here specially for the recent cases that happened in the two places."

The concierge heard this, hesitated for a while, and finally said: "...You two wait a moment, I will report to the master to see if he wants to see you. May I ask your surnames?"

Ye Xingguan replied, "My surname is Ye."

The surname Ye, combined with Yuhang, is hard to ignore.The concierge immediately showed a serious look, and hurried in to inform the master.

After a while, a servant opened the door and said to the two, "Young masters, my master has an invitation, please come in with me."
