Xiao Han turned his head to look at Zhang Zhutou and continued.

"Moreover, there are few people in the countryside, and the chance of being found is not enough, so if Su Chuanxin really comes back, he is very likely to hide in his parents' house."

Hearing Xiao Han's answer, Zhang Zhutou nodded, and after a moment of silence, he said slowly.

"Xiao Han, it's getting late today, forget it, tomorrow, you take Li Baosheng and Huang Hanming and the two of them to Sujia Village, investigate there, and see if you can find Su Chuanxin's clues."

Hearing Zhang Zhutou's words, Xiao Han hurriedly hugged his fists, "Subordinates obey orders!" ”

Zhang Zhutou turned his head to look at the two middle-aged people who were originally in the house, and said in a deep voice, "Liu Tiansheng, Xu Zhiwei, do you two know about Su Chuanxin's mother-in-law's house?" ”

Liu Tiansheng said with a smile, "Of course I know, Su Chuanxin's matter was so big last year, how could we not know?" ”

Zhang Zhutou nodded, "Since you know, then you will go to Su Chuanxin's mother-in-law's house tomorrow and see what you can find there?" ”

Speaking of this, Zhang Zhutou's tone paused before continuing, "Don't forget, ask the people around you and see if they know something?" ”

When Liu Tiansheng and Xu Zhiwei heard this, they hurriedly responded with their fists, turned around and left the room.

After everyone left, Zhang Zhutou felt a little pain in his head, reached out and pinched his eyebrows, and muttered to himself.

"Looks like I'm going to Montenegro by myself tomorrow!"

……

On the second day, Zhang Zhutou left the yamen with 4 catchers and 5 horses, and rushed along the road of the county seat of Montenegro towards the west of the city.

Montenegro, in the southwest corner of Montenegro County, about 20 miles, but the road to the South City Gate is not easy to walk, so people who go to Montenegro go from the West Gate.

When Zhang Zhutou and the others walked out of the West City Gate, their speed became faster, and the sound of horses' hooves burst out, rolling up the dust on the ground, carrying a wisp of dust and smoke, and running towards Black Mountain.

Five people rode horses, and the speed of 20 miles was not far, and about an hour, Montenegro appeared in everyone's sight.

Zhang Zhutou saw that the destination was not far away, so he slightly retracted the reins of the horse, so that the speed of the sweaty horse slowed down and changed to a medium speed.

After all, a war horse will feel tired when it runs all the way out of 20 miles.

Although the speed of the horse slowed down, the target was close after all, and everyone walked for about a stick of incense before they saw the tea shed at the foot of the Black Mountain.

Of course, there is not only one tea shed at the foot of Montenegro, this is the only way to Montenegro, and many people go to Montenegro to play in normal times, so the nearby villagers have opened tea sheds here, and small restaurants for pedestrians to eat and rest.

Zhang Zhutou and the others walked all the way, and soon came to the nearest tea shed.

Before Zhang Zhutou approached, a middle-aged man heard the sound of horses' hooves and walked out quickly.

Zhang Zhutou restranded the horse, jumped off the horse, threw the reins of the horse in his hand to the middle-aged man, and said with a smile, "Lao Zhang, wait a minute to help us supervise the horses, let's go to Montenegro." ”

Lao Zhang and Zhang Zhutou were obviously acquaintances, and after hearing Zhang Zhutou's words, they just responded innocently, took the reins of several people's horses, pulled a few horses to the side of the stable, and tied them to several trees in turn.

Zhang Zhutou ignored Lao Zhang, and walked directly into the tea shed, "Let's have a few bowls of tea to quench your thirst." ”

After hearing Zhang Zhutou's words, a middle-aged woman pushed away a child gathered in front of her, stood up with a smile, and got busy while responding.

"Zhang Zhutou, this time I came to Montenegro, is there any case?"

Zhang Zhutou shook his head, and was about to speak, when his mind suddenly moved, and he asked with a smile, "By the way, do you remember what happened to Su Chuanxin last year?" ”

The middle-aged woman nodded, "Remember, what's wrong, didn't you come here at that time?" ”

Zhang Zhutou nodded, lowered his voice and asked, "During this time, is there anything unusual here?" ”

The middle-aged woman brought the brewed tea to Li Zhutou's table, and took a few clean large tea bowls.

"Zhang Zhutou, what can be abnormal, it's still the same every day, the guests come to drink tea, and I will make ......tea for them."

Zhang Zhutou shook his head and asked in a low voice, "I mean, have you ever seen Su Chuanxin?" ”

Hearing this, the middle-aged woman's face suddenly changed, she was originally pouring tea for Zhang Zhutou and others, but when she heard this, her hand trembled, and the tea spilled on the table.

"Zhang Zhutou, what are you talking about, didn't Su Chuanxin have already fallen off the cliff and was taken away by a wolf, why would he still come?"

Hearing the middle-aged woman's answer, Zhang Zhutou shook his head with a wry smile, "It's nothing, I just asked casually!" ”

The middle-aged woman smiled in shock, "Zhang Zhutou, you are really scary, you really scared me!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou smiled, stopped talking, reached out to pick up the tea that had been poured on the table, and took a sip gently.

Lao Zhang, who went to tie the horses to Zhang Zhutou and others, also walked in from outside the door.

"Zhang Zhutou, how long will it take for you to come back?"

Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou looked at the sky outside, and replied with a smile, "About two or three hours!" ”

Old Zhang smiled innocently, "Since it's been so long, then I'll feed your horses some food, so that when you go back, those horses can't run." ”

Zhang Zhutou smiled and nodded, "Lao Zhang, you can just feed it, how much money will be spent at that time, and when I come back, I will calculate it together!" ”

When Lao Zhang heard this, he nodded and walked to the side to boil water.

Before Zhang Zhutou finished his bowl of tea, he heard the sound of horses' hooves outside.

Lao Zhang, who was sitting on the side boiling water, heard the sound of horses' hooves, and immediately stood up and greeted him.

It didn't take long for Zhang Zhutou to see two more people coming in from the door.

"Boss, come and have a pot of tea, we're thirsty!"

When Zhang Zhutou heard this voice, he hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw two young men walking in from outside.

When the proprietress saw that there was a guest, she immediately stepped forward to greet her with a smile.

"Guest, what kind of tea do you have?"

The young man smiled and waved his hand, "It's okay, just light the taste!" ”

After speaking, the young man took his entourage and sat down at a table next to Zhang Zhutou.

Zhang Zhutou is here to investigate today, not to investigate the case, so he just wore casual clothes today.

Lao Zhang and his wife are acquaintances, so they can recognize Zhang Zhutou, and the rest of the people are just ordinary people when Zhang Zhutou is an ordinary person.

The young man in Tsing Yi took out a handkerchief and wiped his sweat, looked at the situation in the tea shed casually, and nodded with a smile when his eyes turned to Zhang Zhutou.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhutou also nodded slightly, which can be regarded as a response!

The proprietress made a pot of weak tea and sent it to the young man, and took two more tea bowls and put them in front of the two of them.

Taking advantage of the proprietress pouring tea, the young man in Tsing Yi suddenly asked.

"Boss, I heard that there are wolves in this black mountain, is it true?"

The words of the young man in Tsing Yi should be, his companion immediately said, "Zhu Xuan, don't talk nonsense, where is there a wolf in Montenegro, I have been here so many times, but I have never seen it once." ”

When the young man heard this, he smiled and waved his hand, "Chang Shao, this is not what I said, you said it!" ”

Hearing the words of the young man in Tsing Yi, the young man named Chang Shao was stunned for a moment, and asked suspiciously, "Zhu Xuan, why don't I remember what I said?" ”

The young man smiled, "Have you forgotten that you once told me that there was a person named Su Chuanxin who was taken away by a wolf?" ”

Speaking of this, the young man in Tsing Yi paused, and asked teasingly, "Chang Shao, isn't it a wolf who took Su Chuanxin away?" ”

The young man named Chang Shao was stunned for a moment again, and then said with a smile, "That's just rumors, until now, I really don't know who has really seen a wolf on the Black Mountain!" ”

The proprietress also smiled and said, "This boy is right, I've been here for so long, and I've never seen a wolf, and I don't know if it's true or not, no one knows!" ”

After hearing the words of the proprietress, the young man named Chang Shao nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, Zhuxuan has nothing to worry about, we just go around, and it will be fine." ”

Speaking of this, Chang Shao's eyes suddenly froze, and he suddenly stood up and hugged his fists at Zhang Zhutou, "May I ask Your Excellency, is Zhang Zhutou of the Yamen?" ”

When Zhang Zhutou heard this, he also stood up, clenched his fists and asked, "You know me?" ”

Hearing Zhang Zhutou's answer, Chang Shao hurriedly introduced himself with a smile, "My name is Wang Changshao, and he is from Black Mountain City. ”

Speaking of this, Wang Changshao's tone paused, but then, he didn't wait for Zhang Zhutou to answer his words, so he continued to speak to himself.

"In the next, Zhang Zhutou may not know him, but my father Wang Baoming, Zhang Zhutou should know each other, right?"

Hearing the name Wang Baoming, Zhang Zhutou suddenly suddenly said with a smile, "It turned out to be Wang Yuanwai's son!" ”

Wang Changshao said with a smile, "Who doesn't know Zhang Zhutou's name, it's just that I usually see Zhang Zhutou wearing clothes in the yamen, but now that you have changed into civilian clothes, I don't dare to recognize it!" ”

Zhang Zhutou nodded and asked casually, "Prince Wang, what is the matter with coming to Montenegro this time?" ”

Wang Changshao smiled and shook his head, "Zhang Zhutou, it's nothing, my cousin and I ......." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Changshao suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Zhang Zhutou, this is my cousin Lin Zhuxuan, who is from Hongye County, and wants to go to Beijing with me to take the exam this time." ”

Lin Zhuxuan hurriedly stood up, hugged his fists at Zhang Zhutou, and said respectfully, "Wang Zhuxuan has seen Zhang Zhutou. ”

Seeing that Lin Zhuxuan was humble and polite, Zhang Zhutou liked it a little, and waved his hand with a busy smile, "It's not office time, you're welcome, sit down!" ”

Zhang Zhutou sat down, drank the tea in the tea bowl, and shouted at the proprietress loudly.

"Let's go first, feel the money and wait for it to come back, and pay it together!"

The proprietress responded with a smile and watched Zhang Zhutou and the others leave.

……

This tea shed is very close to Montenegro, and Zhang Zhutou and the others no longer ride horses, but walk towards the mountain on foot.

On the way from the tea shed to Montenegro, there is also a small restaurant that sells food, and the closest to Montenegro is an inn for tourists to rest.

When Zhang Zhutou and the others went up the mountain, along the way, people had already begun to appear on the mountain.

Zhang Zhutou took 4 catchers and soon came to the foot of Montenegro, and then, along the path leading to the top of Montenegro, began to walk towards the mountain.

Everyone rested a few times on the way up the mountain, and it took more than an hour to climb to the top of the mountain, and then walked forward along the top of the mountain for a long time before Zhang Zhutou stopped.

Not far in front of him was the cliff where Su Chuanxin fell.

Zhang Zhutou slowed down his pace and slowly walked towards the cliff, looking at 4 places as he walked, constantly recalling in his heart what happened that night, when chasing Su Chuanxin.

The night was dark, especially in wooded areas.

Zhang Zhutou only remembered that a shadow was running desperately in front, and they kept chasing behind.

When they reached the cliff in front of them, the shadow disappeared, and not only that, but they also heard the sound of something falling down the cliff.

Then they chased them to the edge of the cliff and looked down, but it was too dark to see anything.

At that time, Zhang Zhutou was not at ease, so he sent someone to search the mountain again, afraid that Su Chuanxin did not fall, but after looking around, he did not find Su Chuanxin's shadow.

In the end, it was judged that Su Chuanxin had fallen from under the cliff.

Later, Zhang Zhutou led people down the mountain in a hurry, and turned to the bottom of the cliff along the path.

At that time, it was very dark, and everyone did not dare to walk around, so they could only follow the path to climb the mountain, go down the Black Mountain, and go around the front of the Black Mountain to the back of the cliff.

It can go around from the front of the Black Mountain to the back, and the huge force is really not close, until it is almost dawn, and everyone goes around to the bottom of the cliff.

After some searching, he did not find Su Chuanxin's shadow.

After dawn, Zhang Zhutou asked people to search carefully again, and both sides of the cliff were also searched far away, but Su Chuanxin's shadow was still not found.

At that time, a catcher quickly asked whether Su Chuanxin was taken away by a wolf.

After several searches to no avail, in desperation, they could only believe in this result.

Zhang Zhutou thought about the search process and walked towards the edge of the cliff.

When everyone came to the edge of the cliff, Zhang Zhutou looked like a cliff, looked at the scenery on the ground that seemed very small, and suddenly felt a little dizzy, and hurriedly took a step back, and shook his head with a wry smile.

The top of the cliff is too far from the ground, and no matter who falls from the cliff, there is absolutely no chance of survival.

A catcher also looked down, and then said loudly, "Zhang Zhutou, this place is too high, if Su Chuanxin falls from here, he will definitely be smashed to pieces, and there is absolutely no possibility of survival." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Zhutou's brows furrowed even tighter.

In this matter, he has always doubted that even if Su Chuanxin fell from here, during the time they went around to the bottom of the cliff, a wolf took Su Chuanxin away, but the wolf would not clean up, and would definitely leave some clues.

Zhang Zhutou remembers very well that he searched several times, but he didn't even find any clues, and he didn't leave any traces.

Although Zhang Zhutou suspected this matter, he searched the entire cliff very carefully, and did not find Su Chuanxin, so this matter was done.

Although Zhang Zhutou was still very suspicious, in the following time, there was no new news from Su Chuan, and slowly, Zhang Zhutou forgot about this matter!

Now that he brought it up again, the doubts in Zhang Zhutou's heart rose again.

It is precisely for this reason that Zhang Zhutou did not send others to Montenegro to search, but came here himself to check whether there were any clues left by Su Chuanxin.
