Li Zhutou said with a smile, "Those gangsters haven't been caught yet, how can they have the heart to sleep!" ”

Hearing this, the leader of the soldiers lowered his voice and asked, "Li Zhutou, is there a clue now?" ”

Li Zhutou hesitated for a moment, then nodded, turned his head to look at 4 weeks, and said in a low voice.

"To tell you the truth, it is very likely that those gangsters have been hiding in the Ci'an Temple not far from here.

I have come here to follow in their footsteps. ”

"What?"

When the leader of the soldiers heard this, he was taken aback, "Li Zhutou, what did you say, did those gangsters come here?" ”

Li Zhutou nodded, "You also know the situation of Ci'an Temple, those gangsters came out of the west courtyard wall, and when they got out of the west courtyard wall, they came all the way to the north and south streets in front. ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, and then he continued, "It's just that there is no snow on that north and south street, and the footprints have disappeared, so there is no way to track it anymore."

It's just that since they appeared on the side of the West City Gate, then I think it is very likely that they want to go out from the West City Gate.

You have to watch carefully! ”

Hearing this, the leader of the soldiers nodded hurriedly, glanced at the people waiting to open the door in front, and said with a wry smile.

"Waiting for more and more people to leave the city, I'm afraid that those gangsters will mix out of the crowd, and it will be bad."

Li Zhutou nodded, glanced up at the direction on the city wall, and asked in a low voice, "Brother, it is very likely that those gangsters will come up here, is it possible to ...... on the city wall." ”

Before Li Zhutou's words were finished, he was interrupted by the leader of the soldiers waving his hand, "Li Zhutou, don't worry about this, the brothers are all guarding the city wall, it is impossible for anyone to go down from the city wall, even if someone goes down from the city wall, they will definitely find out." ”

Looking at the direction on the city wall, Li Zhutou quickly thought in his heart, where should he search next?

Gangsters can come out of the west courtyard wall of Ci'an City, and they can come to the west gate and west city wall, or they can go to the south county city.

And also.......

Li Zhutou turned his head and saw some houses not far from the city wall, and his brows couldn't help frowning.

There were no good houses near the city, and most of them were poor people who built simple houses here.

Not only are the houses in this area chaotic, but even the people are chaotic.

Now that the day is dawning, there is also the sound of women in all tones of the house, the shouts of men, the cries of young children and dolls, .......

Li Zhutou had a headache, such a chaotic place was not just suitable for those gangsters to hide.

When Li Zhutou was having a headache, he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves.

Li Zhutou hurriedly looked up and saw more than a dozen soldiers driving their horses towards this side.

When he saw the people behind these soldiers, Li Zhutou was immediately overjoyed, hurriedly beckoned to the man, and shouted loudly.

"Lu Zhutou, come here, I'm here!"

Hearing Li Zhutou's call, Lu Dashi answered, drove his horse to him, jumped off the horse, and before he could speak, Li Zhutou asked first.

"Lu Zhutou, why are you here?"

Hearing Li Zhutou's question, Lu Dashi sighed, "Now that the sky is dawning, if the city gate is closed again, I am afraid it will affect the people's livelihood, so after discussing with the adults, they decided to open the city gate and let the people pass, and in addition, send some more people to carefully check the people in the past."

I had nothing to do, so I came with them to have a look. ”

Li Zhutou looked at the people who were standing there waiting to open the city gate, and nodded with a wry smile, "It is indeed time to open the city gate, if the city gate is not opened for a day, these people will suffer!" ”

Lu Dashi smiled and nodded, "Li Zhutou, what's wrong, are there any clues?" ”

Li Zhutou nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the Ci'an Temple in the distance, "Lu Zhutou, I found some suspicious people in the Ci'an Temple, so I followed their footprints and chased here!" ”

"What?"

Lu Dashi was taken aback, "Li Zhutou, do you mean that they have already left the city gate?" ”

Li Zhutou shook his head, "There shouldn't be a ...... yet." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, and then continued, "I can't tell you clearly, let's go, I'll take you to have a look, see if you can find anything?" ”

Hearing this, Lu Dashi nodded, and followed Li Zhutou in the direction he came.

Li Zhutou led the way in front, and when he came to the north and south streets in front, he turned directly into it, and soon came to the place where they found their footprints.

Li Zhutou pointed to the footprints leading to the north and south streets, and turned his head to look at Lu Dashi, "Lu Zhutou, you see, these are the footprints left by those pilgrims, and they will disappear here." ”

Lu Dashi came to Li Zhutou's side, frowned and looked carefully, "There should be 6 of them, right?" ”

Li Zhutou was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded, "That's right, there are indeed 6 of them." ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lu Dashi to answer his words, so he continued to speak on his own.

"Lu Zhutou, you say, where will they go after they arrive at this north and south street?"

Lu Dashi looked at the two ends of the north and south streets, and then stretched out his hand and pointed to the south, "They should go here!" ”

"What?"

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Lu Zhutou suddenly exclaimed in surprise and asked in surprise.

"Lu Zhutou, how do you know? Did you guess that? ”

Lu Dashi shook his head, stretched out his finger and pointed to the footprints on the ground, and said with a straight face, "Li Zhutou, just take a closer look, there are a total of 6 kinds of footprints, although some of the footprints have been stepped on and cannot be seen clearly, but you just need to distinguish carefully, the last footprint left on the snow, most of them are footprints on the left, which means that they should have gone to the right." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Dashi turned his head to look at the south side and said in a deep voice, "And their right side is the south side." ”

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Li Zhutou couldn't help frowning, and after a while, he shook his head, "Lu Zhutou, I feel that your judgment is wrong, why are the last footprints on the left, they must have gone to the right, maybe they are familiar with walking to the other side?" ”

When Lu Dashi heard this, he shook his head, "Li Zhutou, you don't believe that you can walk by yourself, if you want to go to the left, you will definitely reach the end, and you will take the left foot first, leaving the footprints of the right foot."

If you go to the right, in the same way, you will step on the right foot first, leaving a footprint on the left foot. ”

Speaking of this, Lu Dashi's tone paused before continuing, "Of course, there may be exceptions, but those exceptions should be few. ”

Lu Dashi pointed to the footprints on the ground, "Li Zhutou, you see, there are a total of 6 kinds of footprints, and the 4 footprints that can be seen clearly are all left footprints, I am sure that they must have gone to the south." ”

After listening to Lu Dashi's words, Li Zhutou felt a little unconvinced, walked a few steps towards the snow, and then turned his head and walked towards Nanbei Street.

Sure enough, as Lu Dashi said, if you want to go to the left, only the left foot is the most effortless, and the right foot first, but you need to twist your body to turn this corner, which is extremely inconvenient.

Li Zhutou tried it several times, with almost no exceptions, and immediately understood in his heart that what Lu Dashi said was true.

Li Zhutou raised his head and looked at Lu Dashi, arching his hand, "Lu Zhutou, the observation is so detailed, I am admiring it!" ”

Lu Dashi smiled and waved his hand, "Li Zhutou, if you admire it, let's talk about it later, since we know that they are going south, then we will search south to see if we can find any clues." ”

Hearing this, Li Zhutou nodded hurriedly, waved his hand to the people behind him, and then strode towards the south.

……

The south side of this north-south street is similar to the north side, and there are inns and hotels on both sides of the road, and of course, there are also a few shops selling incense.

Zhang Yidong, who came to the south to search, adopted similar methods to Li Zhutou, with the only difference.

Li Zhutou made his subordinates divide into three teams, and then acted separately.

Zhang Yidong divided his men into two teams, searched the shops on both sides of the road, and went all the way forward.

Seeing that this street has been searched for more than half of the time, but there are still no clues, Zhang Yidong's heart began to become a little irritable.

I don't know how long those gangsters have been walking, and the speed of the search is so slow, and those gangsters have taken advantage of the time of the search to run farther, wouldn't it be bad!

The most important thing is that now that the sky is bright, there are more and more people on the road, and the originally deserted storefronts on both sides of the road have gradually begun to .......

Just when Zhang Yidong was very anxious, he suddenly heard the voice of Li Catching the head behind him.

"Lao Zhang, have you found any clues?"

Zhang Yidong hurriedly turned around and saw Li Zhutou looking at him with an inquiring gaze.

Zhang Yidong smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Not yet!" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Yidong's tone paused, and then he asked rhetorically, "Li Zhutou, what did you find over there?" ”

Li Zhutou shook his head, "Those gangsters are coming this way, and it's useless to search that side, so we rushed over." ”

"What?"

When Zhang Yidong heard this, he was taken aback, "Li Zhutou, how do you know that those gangsters are coming this way?" ”

When Li Zhutou heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Lu Dashi, and then waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that, let's search quickly, in case those gangsters run away, we won't have any clues." ”

When Zhang Yidong heard this, he was stunned for a moment, "Li Zhutou, then how should we investigate." ”

Zhang Yidong stretched out his hand and pointed to the shops on both sides of the street, and said with a wry smile, "There are so many shops that haven't been checked yet...... ”

Before Zhang Yidong finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Dashi waving his hand, "Inspector Zhang, let the brothers stop checking first, come back!" ”

"What?"

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Zhang Yidong was taken aback again, "If we don't check, how can we find clues?" ”

Lu Dashi turned his head to look at the arresters on both sides, and shook his head, "Those gangsters are not wooden people, if you search like this, I'm afraid they would have run away a long time ago." ”

Speaking of this, Lu Dashi's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Zhang Yidong to answer his words, so he continued to speak on his own.

"Withdraw everybody, start at this intersection, and place two catchers at each intersection, and cover the whole area around here, as large as possible.

After the intersection is guarded, in a detailed check, only then can they really be found. ”

Hearing Lu Dashi's words, Inspector Zhang's heart moved, and then he was overjoyed, "Okay, let's do it, let's spread the net first, and then catch the fish in the net!" ”

After saying this, Zhang Yidong was about to make arrangements, but was stopped by Lu Dashi.

"Inspector Zhang, tell the brothers arranged at the intersection that even if you see those gangsters, you must not arrest them, just pass the news out, remember?"

Zhang Yidong was stunned for a moment, "Why, why can't they be arrested even if they are found?" ”

Lu Dashi sighed, "With only two or three fast catchers, we will definitely not be able to catch them, rather than letting them discover our intentions and give them a chance to hide far away, it is better to accumulate troops and wait until the strength is enough, and then take them down in one fell swoop." ”

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Zhang Yidong frowned, and without answering Lu Dashi's words, he turned around and left.

Looking at Zhang Yidong's departing back, Li Zhutou turned his head to look at Lu Dashi and asked in a low voice.

"Lu Zhutou, do you think they will stay here?"

Hearing this, Lu Dashi pondered for a moment, and then nodded slowly.

"I suspect that they came to the Ci'an Temple to borrow it, and it is very likely that on the one hand, the Ci'an Temple is safe and will not be suspected, and on the other hand, the Ci'an Temple is very close to the city gate, and as long as they have the opportunity, they can leave the city immediately."

Speaking of this, Lu Dashi's tone paused before continuing, "So I think that even if they leave Ci'an Temple, they will definitely not be far from this area, because they have to find an opportunity to get out of the city.

Only when they are out of the city can they be truly safe! ”

After hearing Lu Dashi's words, Li Zhutou sneered, "This means that they are still staying in Nanjun City now?" ”

Speaking of this, Li Zhutou's tone paused, clenched his fists, and said fiercely, "Wait, I must catch you." ”

Lu Dashi listened to Li Zhutou's words, but his eyes turned to the back of these shops, that is, those simple houses.

In Lu Dashi's opinion, this is the best hiding place.

The people here are very chaotic, even if there are a few more people, no one will find out!

But by the same token, it is not easy to find the hidden person here.

What to do?

Looking at these simple houses, Lu Dashi's heart suddenly moved, since he could imagine that this was the easiest place to hide from people, then Li Wenchang had no reason not to think of it.

If he could imagine it, would he still be hiding here?

But this place is so close to the city gate, if they don't hide here, where will they hide?

For a while, Lu Dashi fell into deep thought.

How do I find them?

Where will they hide?

With Wen Chang's temper, would he hide in such a dirty place?

There is another question, is Li Wenchang still in the city?

If he is still hiding in the city, how does he want to get out of the city gate?

There is also the most critical question, with Li Wenchang's thoughts, Lu Dashi can be sure that since he can design this kind of plan, he must have already figured out the question of how to get out of the city?

When they rescued Ge Feiying and Zhang Nanhao from the Nanjun Yamen, it was night, the city gate was closed, and they could not get out.

Even if you want to get out of the city walls, it is not an easy task.

Because if you want to go out of the city wall, you must first reach the city wall.

The high walls could not be climbed anywhere, leaving only a few fixed passages for soldiers to climb the walls.

Since they could not go up the walls.
