Because the mountain road was difficult to travel at night, Lu Hechang had to find an inn in the county to stay overnight before returning to Liuhe Village the next day.

"I think we should live in the county town." Yao Mingyang advised Ma Hechang: "We are done with the overt and covert investigations at the crime scene. We might as well move to the outskirts of the county town and find a remote place to live."

"Cui Jianfeng moved into the county town as soon as he arrived. As a result, the cause of the case has not yet been found out, and the criminal most likely lives in the county town. Is it appropriate for us to live here?" Lu Hechang seemed hesitant.

"If we want to investigate this case, we have to get close to and get to know the criminal, right?" Yao Mingyang intended to enlighten Lu Hechang: "We live in Liuhe Village, but it is easy for Cui Jianfeng to detect it, because after the incident, the people in the village were all in contact with the county government.

We are familiar with each other, and the people in the county government are familiar with Cui Jianfeng, so our whereabouts will be easily discovered by Cui Jianfeng and others. It will not be conducive to our secret investigation of Cui Jianfeng's collusion with the criminal."

"Why do you always doubt Cui Jianfeng?" Lu Hechang glared at Yao Mingyang: "I think it's not that Cui Jianfeng failed to investigate, but that the criminals deliberately set a trap to tease Cui Jianfeng."

"If you think so, I can't help it. However, the Minister of Punishment sent us to investigate the case. Originally, it was the censor of Jiangnan East Road who learned from the Wucheng County Magistrate that Cui Jianfeng had not closed the case for a long time, so he suspected Cui Jianfeng of being a bandit.

"

"I don't think so." Lu Hechang shook his head and said, "Your suggestion of choosing another residence and quietly moving to the outskirts of the county is a good idea. However, Cui Jianfeng has not closed the case for a long time. I think these criminals are indeed very mysterious and cannot be traced.

Fortunately, the results of our investigation were even worse than Cui Jianfeng's."

"Okay." Yao Mingyang saw that Lu Hechang had accepted his suggestion, so he didn't want to argue with his boss about handling the case anymore, so he gave up as soon as he was satisfied: "I'll take a few people to the outskirts of the county to find a quieter place for you first.

A remote yet easily accessible place to stay.”

"Okay, you have to be careful when you stay at that inn."

"Don't worry about that. Anyway, not many people know our identities yet."

"But what we are investigating are gods descended from the earth. There are many magical powers that we don't know about. We might be discovered and subdued by them soon."

"It can be seen that Lu Gong is still afraid of these gods." Yao Mingyang smiled. He no longer talked about such things with his boss. Obviously, Lu Hechang clearly showed his fear of gods from the beginning.

psychology.

"There, there." Lu Hechang said noncommittally, but when he thought about what he heard from the county government officials about the dangerous situation Cui Jianfeng went through in pursuit of the criminal, he felt horrified.

That night, Lu Hechang and his entourage stayed in an inn far away from the county government for the night. In the afternoon of the next day, they quietly moved to the suburbs of the city to the residence Yao Mingyang had found in the morning.

Yao Mingyang checked into the Chunlai Inn that night with his two entourages. Since Cui Jianfeng and him did not recognize each other, his whereabouts did not attract much attention.

However, they did not escape the pinhole camera installed by Sun Xiaogang on the eaves of the inn. As soon as they stepped into the concierge of the inn, they caught Sun Xiaogang's attention.

"Three people came to the inn just now, they seemed to be businessmen." Sun Xiaogang immediately reported to Qiu Siyuan.

"Come when you're here." Qiu Siyuan was studying the conversation between Cui Jianfeng and his men, and thinking about how to communicate with them, so he said absently: "How can there be no guest officers in the inn?"

"But I don't think they are like ordinary people." Seeing that Qiu Siyuan was not very interested in what he said, Sun Xiaogang emphasized his tone.

"Oh," Qiu Siyuan finally came to his senses and asked Sun Xiaogang: "What's suspicious about them?"

"The old man taking the lead doesn't look like a businessman, but like a government official."

"Why are you so careful?" Qiu Siyuan smiled: "These people are human beings from a low-level civilized society. We are not familiar with their appearance and behavior. How can you tell that they are not businessmen, but officials?

Woolen cloth?"

"I often watch the videos captured by our cameras of officers and soldiers chasing us. I also often observe the various guests who come to the inn, and slowly identify their identities from their behavior and gait."

"Oh, that's it." Qiu Siyuan said, and asked Sun Xiaogang to transfer the video he had just taken to the monitor in front of him: "Let me first take a look at what kind of person the person who came in just now is."

"Aren't these three people just ordinary guest officials? There is nothing suspicious about it." After calling up the surveillance video, Qiu Siyuan looked at the three visitors on the screen for a while and said.

"Didn't you notice the older man's gait? That's the typical gait of a government official."

"Oh, it's a bit similar." Qiu Siyuan smiled: "Are there any other characteristics? I also want to learn from you how to distinguish officials from civilians."

"The distance and movement of the two guests following them are different from those of ordinary people. They are at an equal distance from the person walking in front. This should be caused by their standard entourage's unique habitual sense of distance.

Instinctive movements." Sun Xiaogang explained, pointing to the movements of the three people on the screen.

"What you said makes sense, but I still can't tell." Qiu Siyuan smiled.

"Isn't this easy?" Sun Xiaogang pointed to the two older people in front and said, "How would you think they would feel if they were wearing swords on their left sides?"

"Oh, I understand." Qiu Siyuan suddenly realized: "You still have sharp eyes."

"I think these three people may be new arrivals, hunting down our government officials."

"That's right." Qiu Siyuan became serious: "What is their purpose of coming here?"

"If they don't know Mr. Cui, I think these three people may be new people coming to investigate us."

"Isn't that Mr. Cui here to investigate us? Why did you send someone who doesn't know each other and Mr. Cui to quietly stay in this inn?"

"I see only one possibility."

"What's possible?"

"The higher-ups may have suspected that Mr. Cui was suspected of being a bandit and secretly sent someone to investigate."

"Yeah." Qiu Siyuan looked at Sun Xiaogang in front of him in surprise: "You boy, you have such a rich imagination."

"What do you mean? Am I right?"

"No, that's right."

"exactly?"

"The worst." Qiu Siyuan smiled: "Think about it. Aren't we also considering how to communicate with that Cui Gong and let him secretly help us obtain legal status to settle in Datang? Isn't this considered by the government to be a bandit?

Are you suspicious?"

"Yes." Sun Xiaogang flashed his big and bright eyes, as if he suddenly realized something.

"We have to guard against these three new government officials."

"What precautions?"

"Go and contact the liaison officer tomorrow and ask him to send four people from our temporary residence in the Mars Cave."

"Why did you ask people to come here? They won't talk to the people here. If they come, they may cause trouble and be more easily discovered by them."

"But the few of us can't handle so many things. The three of us are preparing to take down Mr. Cui. Now three more people have come. How can we deal with so many people?"

"Then you called four people, how are you going to deal with these three government officials? Are you going to eliminate them quietly? Then we might as well do it ourselves."

"Don't try to eliminate them at every turn. This is not in line with the behavioral norms of people who have come from our more civilized human society."

"Then why did you call someone here?"

"Let them follow these officials, understand their whereabouts, and find out their purpose."
