Chapter 259 Tracking
Before dawn, the alley where Lin Ye was fighting nearly thirty killers was already crowded with government officials. The torches in their hands illuminated everything around them, and there were bloody corpses all over the ground!
In the middle of this group of government officials, there was a faceless man in a black robe. At this time, he was carefully inspecting the corpses on the ground and murmured: "They are all killed with one strike. There are only five with peak second-level strength."
He took two sword blows and went up. This person should be a master who has just stepped into the third level... collect the corpse."
A very young man's voice.
"Yes! Clean up the scene!"
Following the young man's instructions, the government officials began to pick up the corpses on the ground. The young man in black robe looked down at the stone road on the ground. Although many traces were washed away due to the heavy rain, Lin Ye could still be faintly seen walking away from the pile of corpses.
Come here, blood flowing on the ground.
The young man in black robe followed Lin Ye's footsteps to the corner where Mu Qinghan was leaning last night. The rain had washed away Mu Qinghan's traces, but there was obviously a lot more blood in this place.
"He stopped here, and then there was no more blood. Has the blood dried, or has he gone another way?" The young man looked around, and finally found a line on the stone slab next to him.
There were bloodstains, and when I looked up, I saw the eaves above.
The young man in black robe jumped to the roof in one step. The bloodstains on it had already been washed away by the rain, but the bloodstains on the ground were not deceptive. There were a lot of bloodstains here. He walked from the roof.
"According to the route of last night's siege, the only one who could escape unnoticed was the slightly smaller number of people from the east...Captain Li!"
"arrive!"
"Take people and look east, along the eaves, and look for places with bloodstains on the ground!"
"Yes! Get away, everyone!" Capt. Li greeted the people and walked eastward, starting a carpet-like search.
The young man in black robe continued to walk on the roof, walking slowly towards the east. He lowered his head and searched carefully, and he actually found some remaining blood stains.
"Master Tan, there is blood here!"
"Master Tan, there are some here too!"
As time goes by, the sky gradually gets brighter, and occasionally the voices of the catchers can be heard. Because of the heavy rain last night, everything is progressing very slowly, but the young man in black robe is not in a hurry, relying on people
Using naval tactics, he searched for bloodstains nearby bit by bit, making progress bit by bit.
"This is the unique shoe print of the Qingcheng sect. He should have stepped on it, but the depth is a little abnormal." Soon, the young man in black robe found some footprints left by Lin Ye last night on a dirt road.
"It must be because of the rain, the ground is much softer," Li Captou next to him said.
The young man in black robe personally stepped on a footprint to try and murmured: "No, it's not just because of the rain. Judging from the size of the footprints, this person should be about the same height as me, but the footprints are so much heavier.
Even if he is a fat man, he shouldn't be like this... there should be two people, and he is carrying one person on his back!"
The eyes of the young man in black robes became brighter and brighter: "The blood stains are still there, which means that this is not the blood of that group of people, but the blood on their bodies. At least one of them is injured, probably the person on the back!"
"Two people... and one person is injured. It's probably those two people!!"
Capt. Li's expression changed slightly and he said, "If that's the case, then I'll call some people over!"
"Go ahead, the more people there, the better."
"yes!"
The young man in black robe continued to search forward along some traces, but it must be that the other party's bleeding had stopped temporarily, and it was difficult to find blood stains nearby.
The young man in black robe looked at Lin Ye's last footprints on the ground. He lowered his head and closed his eyes in silence. He thought about the distance between here and the corpse scene and the siege and search map arranged last night. Then he opened his eyes and looked around.
.
"It's not safe here. If it were me, I would keep walking!"
The young man in black robe imagined himself as Lin Ye last night, with an injured companion on his back and surrounded by pursuers. Where would he go?
Looking at the surrounding buildings and the layout last night, the young man in black robe stood up and rushed forward at a very fast speed.
On a rainy night, the visibility of the eyes was very low. When he was anxious to escape, he first relied on his ears and the other on his feelings. The young man in black robe tried his best to rush forward based on his own feelings until he reached a place where he felt it was safe.
Stopped and looked around.
Next to it is a lake.
A no man's land.
The young man in black robe frowned: "No, this road is wrong. Some of them are injured. They won't stay in the heavy rain for too long, so they won't come to these unprotected places. They went wrong somewhere."
The young man in black robe unconsciously walked back along the way he came, and then rushed towards a sparsely populated place with many houses.
When there are fewer people, there will be less movement, and your ears will tell you that it is safe there.
There are more houses, more cover, and more places to hide, which will give fugitives a sense of security.
If the two hints are given together, they should have a great influence on the other party.
Following the second route summarized, the young man in black robe quickly came to another place. He stood on the roof and looked around at the surrounding scenery, with a smile on his face.
A remote corner in the south of the city, an old housing area, made the young man in black robe feel safe and stable at first glance.
"map!"
Following the shouts of the young man in black robe, a government official quickly handed over a map of Xinyang City. The young man in black robe found his location, and then used a brush to draw a large circle with this place as the center: "All the people in this area
Check it out! Look according to the portraits! And find those who are injured!"
"yes!"
The yamen officer responded and went to carry out the order of the young man in black robe. The young man in black robe stepped towards the roof next to him, stood on a high place and glanced at the nearby courtyard, secretly guessing where they would hide.
"Um?"
A very dilapidated building attracted the attention of the young man in black robe. From here, it seemed that the building was too dilapidated to be inhabited, and perhaps only beggars could live there.
This is the only house in the neighborhood that is obviously dilapidated, and it is very conspicuous!
There was a glimmer in the eyes of the young man in black robe. He jumped off the roof and walked slowly to the door of the house. He waved a greeting and a government official immediately came forward and knocked on the door rudely: "Official search, open the door! Open the door!"
"
At this moment, the government officials had already tightly surrounded the courtyard. Seeing that there was no reply for a long time, the government officials turned around and looked at the young man in black robe. Seeing that the young man nodded, the government officials did not hesitate and kicked him away.
He walked through the gate of the courtyard and rushed inside with the portrait.
"People inside, come out!!"
The government officials quickly rushed into the courtyard house, but probably found nothing.
"Sir, there's no one inside!"
The young man in black robe slowly walked into the yard and into the house. He looked around and saw that the house was very empty. There was a layer of straw mat on the ground and a pile of burned firewood next to it.
