The office system of the City God's Temple was an eye-opener for Tan Xuan and Xiao Di. The work efficiency was countless times faster than that of other places. They could get the results they wanted just by name, without any other proof.
After saying goodbye to Lu Chenghuang, Xiao Di followed Tan Xuan out of the Chenghuang Temple. Putting away the "one leaf blind", the original ruins of the secular world were restored in front of him, but Tan Xuan had an extra page in his hand, which was given by Lu Chenghuang.
What they printed out not only contained the information Hui Shengcai filled in when he entered the city, but also recorded its origins with Wu Jiguang's ancestor.
"Should we go to the place at this address to find this Hui Shengcai?" Xiao Di asked with a frown as he sat in the car. The place was very general, but the key point was that it was in the wilderness. For someone else's sake.
Xiao Di was somewhat reluctant to go to such a big expense.
Tan Xuan shook his head, "Don't be so troublesome. The fact that it showed up at Wu Jiguang's house means that its real body is not far away from there. Later, it realized that I had destroyed its hands and feet in Zheng Zekun's ghost and was able to separate part of the demon."
The fact that the spirit came to monitor us further proves that it has not returned to the mountain."
"Then where is it now?" Xiao Di asked with a frown.
Tan Xuan smiled slightly, "I guess it is now in Wu Jiguang's hometown."
There are only a few places where the immortal family can live after leaving the cave. Tan Xuan thoroughly studied the saying that a running monk cannot escape from the temple, so he drove Xiao Di in the direction of Wu Jiguang's hometown.
Wu Jiguang's hometown is in the suburbs of Jiangzhou. To put it bluntly, it is a rural area. However, Jiangzhou has developed rapidly in the past few years and turned the county where his home is located into a district of Jiangzhou. However, only the name has been changed, and the others are still the same.
It’s the same as before. Most of the farmers in the village are older people, and the young people have gone out to make a living. Those who are capable are called working, and those who are strong are called working. Most of the people left in the village are old people, young women, and children.
When Tan Xuan and Xiao Di drove to the entrance of the village, the village was dimly lit, with no light at all. It was the peaceful and peaceful scene that a rural area should have in the early morning.
"Which house is Wu Jiguang's hometown? We don't know at all. Moreover, if we drive into the village now, the noise will be too loud and the villagers will be woken up. We will talk about catching the wild immortal later. We won't be caught as bad guys.
It’s already good when you get up.”
Tan Xuan found a hidden place to turn off the car and said, "Don't worry. Where there are wild immortals, the aura is different from other places. As long as I find something different, I will know where that guy is hiding."
"Then let's take a look. It will be dawn soon, and two strangers suddenly appear in the village, which makes the villagers even more suspicious."
"Um!"
Tan Xuan nodded, opened the door and got out of the car, but immediately got back into the car.
"Why are you back again?" Xiao Di, who was about to get out of the car, asked in confusion. Tan Xuan parked the car in a dark place. There was insufficient light, and she couldn't see Tan Xuan's expression even if she wanted to.
"Someone is coming, let's wait." Tan Xuan lowered his voice and said.
"There is someone, there is someone at this time, it can't be Wu Jiguang, right?" Xiao Di immediately sat up straight, put his hands in his pockets, and tightened the self-defense equipment inside. After several miraculous uses, she was now getting more and more confident.
I like these things more and more.
Before Xiao Di finished speaking, a figure appeared on the road in the village under the moonlight. The figure was in a hurry, almost running, but he stopped when he reached the entrance of the village. The figure was slightly fat and a little distant.
The distance made it difficult to see his appearance, but judging from his body shape, he was not very young. The man looked around and did not see Tan Xuan's car. He took out his cigarette and started smoking at the intersection.
"Oh my God." Xiao Di let out a long breath. Seeing that the man didn't see them, she finally felt relieved, but then she had new doubts.
"What is this person doing so sneakily? Is he waiting for someone?"
Tan Xuan nodded and whispered: "I should wait for someone else. If I don't sleep at this time, who will believe that he is fine? Let's take a look first. Maybe he is related to what we are looking for today."
.”
"Lower your head!"
Tan Xuan suddenly put down his seat, and then a ray of light flashed across the road, dazzling their eyes. If they had not ducked back,
, it is estimated that it will shake them so hard that they will not be able to see clearly for a while.
"There is a car coming on the road." Xiao Di reminded in a low voice, although it was a bit redundant.
"Well, just lie down and don't move."
Although Tan Xuan's car was on this side of the intersection, the high beam flashed and he couldn't hide it even if he wanted to. At this time, Tan Xuan could only hope that the other person was blind.
When he saw a car coming from afar, the man smoking at the intersection immediately threw away the cigarette he had just lit and waved vigorously at the car approaching in the distance.
"squeak……"
With a sudden sound of braking, the car swerved at the entrance of the village, and the car stopped steadily in front of the man. Then the door opened, and a man and a woman got out of the car.
"Why are they?"
Tan Xuan and Xiao Di, who were hiding in the dark, looked at each other and said, "They both said they met old friends in a foreign land. They haven't even left Jiangzhou yet, so why did they meet an acquaintance so quickly?"
Xiao Di did not answer Tan Xuan's words, opened the car door and ran over.
"Brother, Sister Qin, why are you here?"
"Xiao Di!"
Seeing the figure running out of the darkness, the three people in front of the car were startled. After seeing the person clearly, the surprise on the faces of Xiao Zheng and Qin Sixian was no less than that of Xiao Di. Especially when they saw the person coming from behind.
Tan Xuan, both of them couldn't help laughing.
"This is the place you said you were looking for?"
"Yes, we came after we found out. Why are you here too?" Tan Xuan couldn't help but ask after answering.
Xiao Zheng was speechless and said: "Isn't this the location you pointed out to us? Based on the direction you mentioned, combined with the personal information of Wu Jiguang and Zhao Lingling, we knew that this was Wu Jiguang's hometown, so we came directly."
"This is the place I pointed out to you?" Tan Xuan couldn't help but laugh. After a long time of fussing, he found out that Zhao Lingling's location turned out to be Wu Jiguang's hometown.
"What do you think?" Xiao Zheng shook her head helplessly, then pointed to the man standing aside and introduced Tan Xuan: "This is Secretary Xie from the village. I contacted him on the way.
He will take us to Wu Jiguang’s old house.”
"Thank you, Secretary." Tan Xuan shook hands with the man, and then asked, "Have Captain Xiao told you about the situation? Are Wu Jiguang and his wife back?"
Secretary Xie said with a bitter look on his face: "I just wanted to tell this comrade that no one from the old Wu family has come back. Did you make a mistake? After Wu Jiguang's father died, their house has been empty.
Now, except for the time Wu Jiguang came back and paid homage to his grave a few years ago, he never returned to the village. Even when he got married, I only heard from people who were close to him in the village. I have never seen his wife.
"
Qin Sixian said: "Secretary Xie, don't worry. Wu Jiguang and his wife are involved in a murder case. You only need to tell us where his home is. You don't need to participate in other matters."
Secretary Xie waved his hand, "I have been the village party secretary for so many years, and I still have the consciousness I should have. I must cooperate with the police to bring the bad guys to justice. Come with me, and I will take you to the old house of the old Wu family. son."
With that said, Secretary Xie walked towards the village with his hands behind his back.
"Secretary Xie, please get in the car and let's drive together." Xiao Zheng said politely, but the other party only paused in his steps and didn't even look at him.
"Thanks……"
"Thank you, thank you." Xiao Di glared at Xiao Zheng with a bad look, "Do you want to call the police? It's late at night, are you afraid that the people in the village won't know that you are here to arrest someone? Hurry up. Park the car aside and hide, and then we follow Secretary Xie into the village."
Tan Xuan was also laughing and joking: "Yes, enter the village quietly, no one wants to shoot."
"That's right." Xiao Zheng realized at this time, and immediately imitated Tan Xuan's example, parked the car in a dark place, and then walked a few steps with a few others to catch up with Secretary Xie in front of him.
The group of people soon walked into the quiet village and walked quickly. Secretary Xie brought them to a courtyard.
Secretary Xie pointed at the dilapidated house in the courtyard in the shadow of the big wall in front.
While cleaning the house, he said: "This is the old Wu family. I don't know if the Wu Jiguang couple you are looking for have come back. It is quite cold in the morning and evening. If you don't light a fire, it will be difficult to stay in the house."
As he said this, Secretary Xie couldn't help but shake his head. It was obvious that he didn't believe that there were still people living in this almost deserted old house.
Tan Xuan looked at the house and the warehouse to the west and smiled, "Secretary Xie, you are wrong. They are really back and living in this house. Look at the footprints in the corner, even though the snow on the ground has melted now. It’s almost there, but some marks can still be seen if you look carefully. Not only are they here, but what I’m looking for is also here.”
"Where is it?" Secretary Xie squatted on the ground and didn't see the footprints Tan Xuan mentioned, but others were secretly happy when they heard Tan Xuan's words. The suspect would be arrested and brought to justice soon. They couldn't wait to do it right away. Rush in.
"Is that guy with those two people?" Xiao Zheng asked in a low voice.
Tan Xuan stared in the direction of the warehouse and said, "I can't tell for sure. I can feel a strange smell in the warehouse, but I can't tell whether those two people are hiding there."
"What should we do? Should we act separately or together?" Xiao Zheng asked in a low voice. Although he is the one who should make the decision here, there are not only people involved here, but he does not dare to make the decision casually.
"Let's act separately." Tan Xuan gestured to Xiao Zheng with his eyes. Xiao Zheng also had outsiders present, so he couldn't speak too directly.
Xiao Zheng nodded and made specific arrangements directly, "I will be in charge of the main house and you will be in charge of the warehouse. Si Xian, Xiao Di and Secretary Xie will be waiting outside to take care of you."
"No, I want to follow too." Xiao Di immediately retorted, asking her to be on the second line, she wouldn't accept it.
"You..." Xiao Zheng scolded Xiao Di just now, but was stopped by Tan Xuan.
"Xiao Di is with you. She carries other tools. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, she can help you solve it."
"Can she?" Xiao Zheng understood the implication of Tan Xuan's words, but he still had some doubts about his sister.
"Who are you looking down on?" Xiao Di pulled out the pool she had always carried with her from her sleeve, and at the same time took out the power-generating pen in her pocket and showed off her equipment to Xiao Zheng.
"Okay." Xiao Zheng nodded in agreement seeing that Xiao Di was well prepared, "Then Sixian and Secretary Xie are waiting outside. If the suspect runs out, you take action."
"Yes!" Qin Sixian and Secretary Xie both agreed in a low voice with serious faces.
"Sixian, you can use equipment when necessary, but you must protect Secretary Xie's safety."
"clear."
Xiao Zheng looked at Xiao Di, and the two of them nodded. Without touching the door, the two of them borrowed some strength from the courtyard wall and immediately jumped onto the wall. However, Xiao Zheng jumped directly, while Tan Xuan turned around.
He pulled Xiao Di up and then quietly jumped into the courtyard.
