Li Baosheng was immediately overjoyed, "Do you mean that it is very likely that the old Zhang Tou will see those people out of town?" ”

Lao Wang hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a wry smile, "Two poor masters, this is just a villain's guess, as for whether Lao Zhangtou can see those people out of town, the villain is not afraid to guarantee it." ”

Li Baosheng nodded and said with a smile, "Whether he can see it or not, he has always thought of a new clue for this matter." ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng turned his head to look at Shopkeeper Zhou, and asked with a smile, "Shopkeeper Zhou, where does Lao Zhangtou live, can we find him?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, the reason why Lao Zhang will work here is because his family lives not far from here, if you want to find him, as long as he doesn't sleep, it should be okay!" ”

Hearing Shopkeeper Zhou's answer, Li Baosheng hurriedly arched his hand, "Then trouble Shopkeeper Zhou to send someone to call him?" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, turned his head to look at Wang Haishan, "Cousin, can you find someone to go?" ”

Wang Haishan turned his head to look at Daring, "Daring, you run fast, you go and call Lao Zhangtou over, and say that the people in the yamen are looking for her to question." ”

Da Shan answered, and immediately turned around and walked out of the door.

Wang Haishan turned his head to look at Li Baosheng, and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, it seems that after finding Lao Zhangtou, you should be able to know whether those people are the people you are looking for?" ”

Li Baosheng nodded, and said with a wry smile, "I hope that Lao Zhangtou will not let us down, and it will save you any more trouble." ”

Wang Haishan hurriedly arched his hand and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, where is this, it is really luck to be able to help you, how can it be said that it is trouble!" ”

Shopkeeper Zhou also smiled and said, "Two poor masters, my cousin is right, you have investigated the case here, or we are negligent." ”

Li Baosheng smiled bitterly and waved his hand, "Shopkeeper Zhou, let's all be polite, in short, I met two people when I came to the town to investigate this time, and I am grateful to be able to get the support of the two." ”

Just when everyone was chatting, about the time of a pillar of incense, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and soon, as the footsteps got closer and closer, bold appeared at the door.

"Two poor masters, I brought you Lao Zhangtou."

As he spoke, Daring had already entered the room, and behind him there was a thin old man with gray hair.

"Shopkeeper Zhou, what are you looking for the second child?"

Lao Zhangtou turned his head to look in the room, first saw Shopkeeper Zhou, and then saw Li Baosheng and Huang Hanming, and was suddenly startled, and asked in a trembling voice.

"Two poor masters, are you looking for a little old man?"

Li Baosheng nodded, smiled and said, "Old man, don't be nervous, we just want to ask you about this morning, as long as you answer truthfully, there will be no problem!" ”

Lao Zhangtou hurriedly arched his hand, "Two poor masters, don't worry, the villain will answer honestly." ”

Li Baosheng nodded, "Lao Zhang, I heard from the guys that you are at the intersection in the west of the town every morning when you are on duty, right?" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded, "Yes, the villain happened to go there at that time, the two poor masters, is there anything wrong with this?" ”

Li Baosheng waved his hand and said with a smile, "Old man, don't worry, this matter has nothing to do with you, I just want to ask you, when you walked to the west intersection of the town, did you see anyone leaving the town?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Lao Zhangtou nodded, "Of course, there are so many people walking out of the town, how can the villain not see it?" ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"The two poor masters, do you know that the last person who played the shift actually couldn't go to the official road when he was on the watch, and when the villain was on the watch, the villain changed the route and changed it to the official road when he was on the road.

Do you know why? ”

Li Baosheng was a little puzzled, "Old man, tell me why?" ”

Lao Zhangtou stroked the little white beard left, and said with a little pride, "The two poor masters, it is because after the villain fought for a while, he found that the guests of the Zhenxi Inn all set off at the end of the day.

The villain was worried that so many people would come out of Xiao Chenzi before dawn, and something would happen, so he changed the route of the change, and walked here, which happened to be the time when the guests of the inn left the town. ”

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's words, Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, then nodded, and said with a smile, "Old man, I really didn't expect it, you think so much, it seems that the town is so safe, and it has a lot to do with you!" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's praise, Lao Zhangtou hurriedly arched his hand humbly, "Two poor masters, you are too polite, this is what a villain should do." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"Two poor masters, the villain has lived in this town for most of his life, and seeing that time is short, it can be regarded as doing something for the town."

Li Baosheng sighed, "Old man, if everyone in the world has such an idea as you, then the world will be peaceful!" ”

Lao Zhangtou politely arched his hand, "By the way, what did the two poor masters want to ask just now, the villain's memory is not very good, please don't blame the two poor masters!" ”

Li Baosheng waved his hand, "Old man, how can we blame you." ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng's tone paused, and then he said slowly, "Old man, there should be a lot of people coming out of the inn this morning, have you seen these people?" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded, "Of course I saw it, I think about it, how many people should ......?" ”

After saying this, Lao Zhangtou lowered his head and thought for a while, and after a long while, he slowly raised his head, smiled wryly and shook his head.

"Two bad masters, the villain's memory is really not good, it's just a morning thing, why can't you remember it?"

Looking at Lao Zhangtou's frowning appearance, Li Baosheng sighed, "Old man, don't worry, think about it!" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded, "But there are really a lot of people who came out this morning, although I can't remember how many people there are, but there are always more than a dozen or twenty people, right?" ”

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's words, Shopkeeper Zhou nodded, "Of course, there will definitely be more than 20 guests who go out of the inn of our two brothers." ”

Li Baosheng nodded and asked with a smile, "Old man, think about it carefully, how many groups are these people divided into?" ”

Lao Zhangtou frowned again and thought about it, muttering to himself, "It should be two groups of people, because they went out from two inns."

However, they were not very far away, because they had come out at about the same time. ”

Lao Zhangtou raised his head and looked at Li Baosheng, and asked tentatively, "Two poor masters, are they two groups?" ”

Li Baosheng nodded and said slowly, "Old man, you're right, they are guests from two guest groups, so there must be two groups of people." ”

Speaking of this, Li Baosheng turned his head to look at the fifth child, and asked with a smile, "Fifth brother, you are the only one who went out at that time, let me ask you, who is walking in front of the people from the two inns?" ”

Lao Wu hesitated slightly, then said with a smile, "Of course, the guests in our inn went out first, and then the guests on the side of Shopkeeper Zhou." ”

Hearing Lao Wu's answer, Li Baosheng nodded, turned his head to look at Lao Zhangtou, and asked with a smile, "Old man, the person who went first should be the person from the shopkeeper Wang's side, think about it, is the group of people who went first also divided into two teams?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Lao Zhangtou thought about it again, and then slowly replied, "It seems that yes, if the villain is not mistaken, the group of people walking in front should be two carriages."

And the one who walks behind should have only one carriage. ”

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's answer, Li Baosheng applauded and said with a smile, "Old man, isn't your memory very good, I remember it very clearly." ”

Huang Hanming, who had never spoken, suddenly asked, "Old man, where were you when they left the town?" ”

Speaking of this, Huang Hanming's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Lao Zhangtou to answer his words, and continued to speak on his own.

"I mean, old man, did the departing guests see you while you were standing there?"

Hearing Huang Hanming's question, Li Baosheng also nodded hurriedly, "Yes, old man, where were you at that time, were you found by them?" ”

Hearing the questions of the two, Lao Zhangtou waved his hand and said with a smile, "Two poor masters, they shouldn't find the villain." ”

"Oh!"

Li Baosheng looked at Lao Zhangtou with some doubts, "Old man, why are you so sure?" ”

Old Zhang Tou smiled and waved his hand, "Two poor masters, every time I go to the official road, I won't go to the official road." ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou turned his head to look at Daring and asked with a smile, "Daring, do you remember where the town exited?" ”

There's a sloping courtyard wall, do you remember?

Boldly nodded, "Of course I remember, isn't that Zhang Yuanwai's home?" ”

Old Zhang Tou turned his head to look at Li Baosheng, and said with a smile, "The two poor masters, the villain is standing on the sloping courtyard wall of Zhang Yuanwai's house, and the people on the official road can't see the villain." ”

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's answer, Huang Hanming frowned, and asked slowly, "Old man, do you mean that you stand behind that courtyard wall, and you can't actually see the front of those guests who come out, you can only wait until they walk through the courtyard wall of Zhang Yuan's addition and see their backs, isn't that the case?" ”

After hearing Huang Hanming's words, Lao Zhangtou nodded, "Yes, that's it, that's why the villain said that they couldn't see the villain?" ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng nodded and asked with a smile, "Old man, according to what you just said, the guests who walk in the front are the guests in the two carriages, and the guests who walk in the back are the guests who have one carriage, right?" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded, "That's right, the two poor masters, this was the scene at that time." ”

Li Baosheng hesitated for a moment, and then asked slowly, "Old man, do you still remember, which team has more people in this team with two carriages and one carriage?" ”

Hearing Li Baosheng's question, Lao Zhangtou lowered his head and thought about it, and then said slowly, "If you say the number of these two pairs of people, it seems that there are more people behind, right?" ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng was stunned for a moment, and asked with some doubts, "Old man, do you really feel that there are many people behind?" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded, "There are a few people around the two carriages in front, which seems to be very small, but the carriages in the back are different, there are a lot of people around, so there should be more people in the back." ”

Hearing this, Li Baosheng couldn't help frowning, "Old man, think about it again, how many people are there, can you still think of it?" ”

Lao Zhangtou shook his head, "I can't remember, and the villain doesn't know what the two bad masters want to ask, so he didn't deliberately count the number of people." ”

Li Baosheng was very puzzled in his heart, why did Lao Zhang say that there were more people in the back than in the front, why is this?

Did he count wrong, or was it true?

Just when Li Baosheng was there to bow his head and think, Huang Hanming suddenly asked, "Old man, let me ask you a question, think about it carefully, after the people of these two teams walked over, did you find that there were still people added to their team?" ”

Hearing Huang Hanming's question, Li Baosheng also hurriedly turned his head to look at Lao Zhangtou, "Old man, yes, think about this problem, especially the team with a carriage, have any of them been added to this team?" ”

Hearing the question of the two, Lao Zhang clapped his hands, "The two poor masters, they are really powerful, that's right, there was indeed a person who caught up from behind and added to the second team." ”

"What?"

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's answer, Li Baosheng and Huang Hanming were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked.

"Old man, think about it, who is this person added to the team?"

Hearing this question, Lao Zhangtou smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The two poor masters, to be honest, it was not daytime at the time, and the villain's eyesight is not too good, so it doesn't matter who it is, I can't even see the appearance of this person, please forgive the two poor masters." ”

Hearing Lao Zhangtou's answer, Li Baosheng was a little disappointed, frowned and asked, "Old man, then think about it, the scene when this person was added to the front team at that time, okay?" ”

Lao Zhangtou nodded and said slowly, "Two poor masters, the villain remembers that after the two horse-drawn convoys in front of him passed, they hadn't gone far, and a person chased after them from behind, until they reached the team with a carriage, and then stopped to talk to the people in this team.

The two poor masters, what they are talking about, the villain can't hear it, only knows that they are talking. ”

Li Baosheng hurriedly asked, "Old man, even if you can't hear what they say, what will they do next?" ”

Lao Zhangtou shook his head, "The two poor masters, no, they didn't do anything else. ”

Speaking of this, Lao Zhangtou's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Li Baosheng to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"The two poor masters, the villain only remembers that before the person in the back caught up with the person in front, the person in front kept looking back at the back, as if he had been waiting for this person for a long time.

After the person behind caught up, several of them immediately greeted them and whispered, but apart from these, there seemed to be no other unusual behavior. ”
