This is what a fairy should be like
Chapter 28: Rumors and waiting
In the backyard of Wuling County Government Office, Lu Jing, who had just left the morgue, arrived here.
Pang Boqi, the magistrate of Wuling County, is a thin middle-aged man with a sparse beard and slightly convex cheekbones. He is in the study, reading a book and listening to Lu Jing talk about the situation.
After Lu Jing finished speaking, he looked up at the person sitting on the couch. He was leaning on the couch with one hand to support his body, and his attention seemed to have never left the book.
He didn't look away, but Pang Boqi's questioning voice came out.
"Captain Lu, although you were not here a while ago, are the people you brought out all useless? Not only did you fail to bring the murderer to justice, but his methods became more cruel. Do you know your guilt?"
Lu Jing quickly handed over his hands and confessed.
"I know that I am guilty! But please give me some more time, and I will go and meet the villains in person... If not, I will punish you again!"
At this point, Lu Jing paused before continuing.
"It's just that there seemed to be a new situation the day before yesterday. One or two masters seemed to have appeared in the middle. I don't know if they are accomplices. If so, it would be a bit tricky. I hope to send more people and invite folk martial arts masters in the city. Help out!”
Pang Boqi put down his book and looked at the policeman in front of him.
"So are you confident about this, Mr. Lu?"
Lu Jing hesitated, thinking of the corpses he had just seen, it would be very bad if one or several masters were also accomplices, so he still did not dare to boast about Haikou.
"My subordinates can only do their best!"
Pang Boqi shook his head slightly.
"After all, those who died are just some lazy rogues wandering around outdoors at night. I leave this matter to you, but you must protect yourself. As long as you show an attitude, the thieves may retreat... ."
Lu Jing knew what the Lord County Lord meant. If it was unlikely that Wuling County would catch such a vicious bandit, then the main thing would be to drive him away. Anyway, many bandits were roaming around to commit crimes, so it would be better to go elsewhere.
Lu Jing still had the idea of catching the murderer, and he was still a little unconvinced, but he could only agree to this.
"Yes, my subordinates take orders!"
------------------
In Wuling County, in addition to the evil deeds of bandits that some people are afraid of, rumors about a peach blossom garden have gradually become popular among some people in the past two days.
The source of this rumor is naturally the famous Zui Feng Tower in Wuling County.
At this moment, a bearded man was drinking by himself in the hall of Zui Feng Tower, humming a song while drinking, amusing himself.
"A common man enjoys his own pleasure and doesn't want to go home and feed the tigers~~~Tsk ha~"
The man took another sip of wine, tutted and shook his head.
At this time, the man suddenly heard someone at a nearby table chatting about some story. Because the voice was not quiet, he couldn't help but listen to some of it. Hearing what was behind him, the man himself became very interested.
As they listened, they stopped drinking and turned sideways to listen to their conversation.
At the table not far away, several people were talking lively, mainly a man with a little bit of rosacea who was talking enthusiastically.
"Oh, that Peach Blossom Spring is such a wonderful place. I heard that it has good mountains, water, and good people. It is simply a fairyland on earth, and the people of the pre-Qin Dynasty live in it..."
"Ah? We are already in the Jin Dynasty, where did the people of the pre-Qin Dynasty come from?"
"Oh, you don't understand. Of course they are people who have lived there in seclusion since the pre-Qin period. They still think that the outside world is still under the Qin system, so they are naturally the people of the pre-Qin period!"
The two people eating and drinking at the same long table were also completely aroused.
"Then how do you know? Have you seen it?"
"Hehe, of course I know. I also know that inside, there are all strange people and strangers. Those are the people that the First Emperor pursued when he lived in the world. They are all living in seclusion there..."
"Say it as if you've seen it before?" "Then how big is it there and how many people there are? What abilities do the strange people have?"
"Well......"
The person who was chatting just now was stopped by the question. He patted his head and couldn't think clearly. Suddenly he saw the restaurant waiter busy in front of the counter and hurriedly said hello.
"Hey, little brother, little brother Zhao!"
The clerk over there came over and looked at the table with a puzzled expression. Before he could speak, the man spoke first.
"Brother, please tell me about the Peach Blossom Spring. I didn't hear all of it yesterday. There are some strange people in it. How did you get there?"
The restaurant waiter chuckled. Promoting the atmosphere in the restaurant was one of his jobs, and of course it was also fun. Naturally, he spoke matter-of-factly.
"There is something to be said for that. There are people who have extraordinary medical skills and are well versed in hundreds of herbs. There are people who are knowledgeable and proficient in hundreds of medicines. There are even more capable people who are good at all kinds of skills. They are good at craftsmanship, brewing, cooking, and there are others that I can't even name!"
"Then how do you know?" "Yes, is this all nonsense?"
"Me?"
The guy pointed at himself and said with a smile.
"The day before yesterday, Zhao Langjun had dinner with his friends in the building. His friends like to travel and often swim in strange mountains and waters. After he went to Wuling, he went boating and went boating. After getting lost, he strayed into the mountains and strange waters. Finally, he found the place by accident. A peach forest, you will find the peach blossom garden after passing through the peach forest!”
"Mr. Zhao? Which Mr. Zhao?"
"Which Mr. Zhao is there? Of course he is Mr. Zhao who is related to our county magistrate!"
"Oh... Oh, go on!"
...
Not far away, a man who was drinking by himself was stroking his beard and looking thoughtful...
------------------
While the people in the city were having dinner or having fun, Lu Jing had already left the city with the Yamen messengers, a group of city martial artists who responded to the government's call, and the nearby hunters.
Led by Lu Jing and Zhang Gongwang, the two county government chiefs, there were about forty people in total. The troops set off in two groups, each carrying weapons and other tools.
There are three main entrances and exits in Wuling City. Outside the southeast gate, there are always a lot of people gathering because of the port. It is relatively safe. There have been no murders before, so people mainly go to the southwest and northeast of the city.
Zhang Gongwang took people to the southwest, while Lu Jing took people to the northeast gate outside the city where there were relatively more accidents.
At this moment, Lu Jing was followed by more than twenty people. After leaving the city, he could see that the sun on the mountain behind the city was close to the ridge in sight, and the remaining half of Wuling City was still bathed in sunlight.
The group of people kept walking, and first arrived at the place where the last murder occurred, which was where Zhuang Lin and the others took action.
The blood at that time had long since dried, leaving some dark red marks, but there was a need to come here.
"Woo...Woo..."
As soon as they arrived here, the dogs held by the accompanying hunters all let out threatening neighs. Among them, the large dark-colored dog held by a certain hunter was the most excited and kept leaping forward.
Perhaps these hounds that drank the blood of wild beasts raw and devoured their entrails were stimulated by the smell of blood.
This movement naturally attracted the attention of others, and also startled the goshawk on Orion's shoulder to flap its wings several times.
"What's going on?"
A middle-aged hunter holding the dog tightly held on to the dog rope and explained to Lu Jing.
"Captain Lu, my four-eyebrow dog seems a little irritable, maybe he found something!"
"Oh? What's the secret?"
Lu Jing's eyes lit up and he looked at the dog led by Orion as he asked.
This is a rather sturdy big dog with a black back and a white belly. The boundary is yellow. The two spots of yellow hair above the eyes are like pairs of big eyebrows. Together with the original eyebrows, they look like two pairs of eyebrows, so it is called It is a four-eyebrow dog.
Orion thought for a while and said.
"Let them take a sniff, maybe they will get something!"
"good!"
Lu Jing agreed without hesitation. If he wanted to solve a difficult murder case, he had to try every method.
The rest of the people made room for a few hunters, who led the dogs close to the crime scene, sniffed the ground again and again, and even rushed into the grass to sniff.
"Woof~ woof woof woof~~~" "Woof woof~~"
Several dogs barked nearby for a while, and several hunters understood the situation and immediately untied the dog leashes.
As soon as the rope was loosened, several big dogs immediately ran out, while several hunters also walked quickly and chased after them.
"Follow up-"
Lu Jing hurriedly shouted. He originally thought that if he met the murderer, Orion's archery skills would be helpful. After all, there might be some good archers among the murderers. Although the people from the Yamen also brought two crossbows, their accuracy was not good. Not as good as those who really rely on bows and arrows for their livelihood.
Unexpectedly, there seemed to be an unexpected gain.
Lu Jing shouted, and everyone in the group quickly followed.
The people present were either hunters or martial arts practitioners themselves, and their physical fitness was not a problem. The dogs ran fast, and the people did not fall far behind.
The main direction is outward along this trail.
After chasing for about a few miles, the dogs, led by the four-eyebrow dog, all ran out of the path and ran to the nearby river beach.
"Woof woof woof... woof woof woof..." " woof woof woof..."
A group of dogs barked at the big tree on the side of the river beach, and about twenty people who followed also rushed here. Several hunters came to the tree first and calmed the restless dogs.
Some people with sharp eyes saw something in the grass over there.
"Captain Lu, there's something over there!"
This shout attracted everyone's attention, and soon someone pulled out the grass and discovered the two bamboo rafts hidden there.
"Okay, it turns out we came by water! There are two bamboo rafts, so there must be more than one or two people!"
Some of the officials at the Yamen gritted their teeth and said, and many people, including Lu Jing, also stared at the bamboo raft with serious expressions, and then looked at the river upstream and downstream.
However, after several hunters looked at the bamboo raft, their attention was not on it, because the dogs were barking at the trees, which made these people couldn't help but look up.
But the tree wasn't too dense, and from the perspective of the hunter, it didn't seem to be hiding anyone.
The leader of the hunters stared at the tree for a while, then gave a signal to the other person. The person nodded slightly and reached to his left shoulder to unbuckle the goshawk's feet.
He combed the goshawk's feathers with his hands, seemed to whisper a few words, pointed to the big tree and wiped a circle around it, then held the eagle in his hand and threw it up.
"Go~"
The goshawk flapped its wings with the help of its master's hand, flew into the air and let out a roar.
"唳——"
The cry of the eagle also alarmed a group of people over there, but they just glanced over there and no one said anything.
The eagle in the sky circled for a while, then flew to the big tree below, then fluttered out from the other side, and circled again and flew back to its owner.
As soon as the Orion raised his hand, the goshawk fell back onto the arm guard, and there was an extra lace on the eagle's talons.
"Woo woo woo... woof woof woof..."
Several hounds howled at the thin ribbon.
"Captain Lu, look at this, it seems to have been left by a murderer!"
Lu Jing immediately walked up to the hunter, took the light gray strap, carefully measured it, and sniffed it. It smelled of a strong rouge and powder, and seemed to have a slight stink.
Could it be left by the woman who was kidnapped before? Why is it on the tree?
Lu Jing couldn't help but look up at the tree again...
After a while, everyone had discussed a countermeasure.
Since the bamboo raft is hidden here, it means that the criminal is still here, but they are likely to come back to get the bamboo raft, so they can try to wait and ambush nearby!
This is much more promising than Lu Jing's initial idea of trying his luck!
