Volume 1: Linzhou Talented Case Chapter 22: Surrounding
Soon, under the leadership of Liu Zhi, Xing Qianqiu came to the depths of the dense forest.
The surrounding trees have traces of being slashed with swords, as if a battle had taken place here.
"I found this here." Liu Zhi took out a rag from his arms and pointed to a dead branch on the ground: "It's hanging on this."
"These are indeed Mr. Duan's clothes." Xing Qianqiu looked at it carefully and nodded.
Duan Ming's initial clothes were too tattered, so when Duan Ming entered the Mirror Division, Xing Qianqiu deliberately had someone prepare a set of clothes for Duan Ming.
And this rag is from that dress.
"But how could Mr. Duan come to such a deep place?" Xing Qianqiu frowned.
"Maybe it's because he's being chased." Liu Zhi explained: "I found Mr. Duan's horse near this dense forest before. I guess Mr. Duan was being hunted, so he abandoned his horse and fled here, but he was still killed.
Caught."
"Yeah." Xing Qianqiu nodded: "Let's go, let's go and see if there are any clues nearby."
"Okay." Liu Zhi nodded, but his eyes unconsciously glanced in the direction of Linyang City.
If there were no accidents, Mr. Duan should be dead at this moment...
Then Liu Zhi withdrew his gaze and landed on Xing Qianqiu's back again.
No matter what, he must be killed first, otherwise he will die at the hands of Xing Qianqiu before Duan Ming talks about the longevity cult being silenced.
Or, with the method of punishing Qianqiu, he may live a life worse than death!
Thinking of this, Liu Zhi couldn't help but secretly rejoice. If he hadn't been very careful to arrange these in advance, he might have been exposed at this moment.
Then, Liu Zhi intentionally or unintentionally took Xing Qianqiu deeper into the jungle.
Suddenly, Liu Zhi stopped and pointed not far ahead: "Commander, look!"
I saw a huge cave in that direction.
Xing Qianqiu nodded, carefully came to the cave, and examined it carefully.
Hard work pays off, and Xing Qianqiu discovered traces of human life here.
"This is most likely the lair of that group of thieves!" Xing Qianqiu whispered to Liu Zhi: "I'll go in and take a look. You stay here and don't let anyone escape."
"Okay." Liu Zhi nodded.
Then, Xing Qianqiu turned around and carefully walked into the cave.
However, before Xing Qianqiu's figure disappeared into the darkness of the cave, a silver light suddenly appeared behind him, and a long knife instantly stabbed Xing Qianqiu's back.
"Dang!" A sound of metal clashing sounded. Xing Qianqiu held the knife in his backhand and blocked the blow.
Then Xing Qianqiu turned around and struck Liu Zhi behind him with his long knife like thunder.
Liu Zhi's expression changed, he hurriedly blocked it with his sword, and then took two steps back.
"You couldn't help it after all." Xing Qianqiu did not pursue him, but walked out slowly, looking around the forest.
"You..." Liu Zhi looked at Xing Qianqiu in disbelief, with a very ugly look on his face: "You have suspected me for a long time?"
"That's right." Xing Qianqiu sneered: "Mr. Duan's recent performance has been too impressive. Do you really think that I, the deputy commander of the Der Spiegel Division, am a fool? Liu Tongzhi, Liu Tongzhi, you have been with me for so many years in vain.
!”
"Why? Where did I get exposed?" Liu Zhi said in a deep voice.
"I really didn't think it was you at first. I suspected everyone inside the Mirror, but I didn't doubt you."
You are the person I trust the most in the Mirror Department!"
"Your design and your layout are closely intertwined, with almost no flaws."
"But if you are anxious, you will be exposed if you are anxious, and there will always be something unexpected."
Xing Qianqiu could feel that there were many people hiding in the dense forest around him, and these people vaguely surrounded him.
"With your character, if you find the traces left by Mr. Duan, you will not rush back to find me, but will go to the rescue as soon as possible." Xing Qianqiu clenched the long knife and said in a deep voice: "This is you
The first mistake I made. I think it has something to do with the fact that the Mirror Division went astray."
"Then, this dense forest is too deep. Even if you want to explore it, it is not that simple. But how much time has passed since I returned to now?"
"You can find clues in such a deep forest? What a coincidence."
"This is your second mistake."
"Mr. Duan is not skilled in martial arts, and it is even difficult to escape in this dense forest. Why are there so many marks of slashing with swords here? Could it be that Mr. Duan also fought with the thieves?"
"Obviously not, then this place was deliberately arranged."
"This is your third mistake."
"But these may indeed be coincidences. You shouldn't be so sure that it's me." Liu Zhi said in a deep voice.
"Of course, you also made the most serious mistake." Xing Qianqiu said in a deep voice: "Recently, the whole city of Linyang is under martial law. Although the thieves are good at martial arts, they cannot flow unimpeded and cannot enter Linyang every time.
No one found out that the crime was committed in Linyang City. So I initially guessed that the thief was hiding in Linyang City."
"But now it is confirmed that the thief has been hiding here. If the thief wants to enter Linyang City silently like this, he must have a high-ranking and powerful person as an internal agent."
"The city defense of Linyang City is now almost under the control of our Mirror Division. Officials in Linyang City simply cannot do this. Only a few people in the Mirror Division can do this."
"Coupled with my previous guesses, I can be sure it's you!"
"Since you have confirmed that it is me so early, why are you still coming here with me?" Liu Zhi held the knife in both hands and said in a deep voice.
"Of course it's to let you bring me here." Xing Qianqiu said solemnly: "After all, you guys are really a bit too grown up."
"Hahaha..." Liu Zhi laughed, then shook his head: "My Commander Xing, Mr. Xing, you are indeed not easy to deal with. Just like Mr. Duan said, if I don't kill you, sooner or later you will
It will be traced to me."
"Sure enough, Mr. Duan was captured by you." Xing Qianqiu pointed the tip of the knife at Liu Zhi: "Let Mr. Duan go, and then he will be captured. I can give you a reward for following me for many years."
Opportunity for a fair trial.”
"Hahahaha!" Liu Zhi laughed even harder, waved his hand, and figures walked out of the dense forest.
"Master Xing, do you think too highly of yourself?" Liu Zhi said with a smile...
