This is the external agency of the Jiuqu Sword Sect located in Licheng. It is located in the center of Licheng and is a three-story wooden attic building.
The person in charge was Leng Hong from the Xiantian Realm of the Jiuqu Sword Sect. After Ding Man entered with Zhang Ke and others, he went directly to Leng Hong and explained the matter.
Hearing Zhang Ke's request, Leng Hong frowned and said: "The map is a secret of the sect, how can it be viewed by outsiders?"
Zhang Ke smiled: "There is no need for a detailed map, just know the trajectory of Guan Shu's movements after being exposed!"
Leng Hong's face looked better, he weighed it in his mind and said, "Wait!"
After saying that, he left.
Yu Hualong muttered: "What a big show!"
Zhang hugged him and waited for a few minutes. Leng Hong came back and spread out a roll of drawings in front of several people. The map was very simple, without any markings, only simple lines.
Ding Man was a little dissatisfied. The map was too crude and useless.
Zhang Ke stopped him from asking questions and looked at the map carefully. After a few minutes, he suddenly asked: "Where was the Guan Shu found?"
Ding Man hurriedly stepped forward and checked the map for a while, then pointed at a place and said: "This is Qinghe Town!"
"Where is the longest missing case of a pregnant woman that you have investigated?"
The map was too crude. Ding Man searched for a while but couldn't find it, so he said, "Linhe City, I don't know where it is on the map?"
Leng Hong was also a little embarrassed and stretched out his hand: "This is Linhe City!"
Zhang Ke took out his pen and drew a circle in Linhe City, and then asked: "Ding Daoyou, tell fellow Daoist Leng Hong the location of the missing pregnant woman, and I will mark it!"
Ding Man had worked hard during this period and had an extremely good understanding of the victim's situation.
He kept saying the name of the victim and the location where he was killed.
Zhang Ke kept busy and marked all the victims one by one according to Leng Hong's instructions.
As circles were drawn on the map, Zhang Ke studied it carefully after all the marks were drawn. The Rubik's Cube turned into a ruler with a white paper next to it, and he kept calculating.
Leng Hong and others were curious and turned their heads to take a look. They looked at each other in confusion. They had no choice but to recognize what was written.
Zhang Ke secretly laughed in his heart. He deliberately added some useless formulas to retaliate against Leng Hong's secretive behavior.
Seeing Leng Hong struggling to remember, his stomach twitched with laughter.
After calculating for a long time, the tip of the pen was dipped in cinnabar, and a thin red line zigzagged together according to the missing locations and times of all the pregnant women, clearly marking the trajectory of Guan Shu's movements.
Zhang Ke spun the Rubik's Cube in his hand and said with a smile: "I think I've figured it out!"
Several people looked at the map, and Yu Hualong couldn't help but ask: "I don't understand, please explain!"
"I based it on the time when Guan Shu was expelled from the division and where and when a series of subsequent cases occurred.
Let me make a hypothesis and let everyone look for loopholes!"
Closing his eyes, Zhang Ke replaced himself with Guan Shu.
He murmured: "One day a few years ago, for some reason, I was expelled from the school. What should I do? Where should I go?
After thinking about it, I decided to go home. After all, Heshan Road is far away from home and I haven't been back for many years.
After traveling all the way back home, I accidentally found a way to use the Zihe chariot to practice martial arts."
After a pause, he continued: "It may also be that the Kung Fu of Heshan Dao was originally used. After staying for a period of time, you found that after leaving the sect, the training resources were not guaranteed. Not only could you not continue to practice, but your practice would even regress. What should I do?"
He opened his eyes and asked, "What should I do?"
Yu Hualong hesitated and said: "Doing a task?"
Mo Yunfan: "Adventure, kill people and seize treasures, take refuge with others?"
He raised his hand and snapped his fingers: "He will definitely try to practice for a while first. If the water leaves traces, he will make a record according to the above points and analyze it later.
If he had traces around his home, he would not deliberately hide his actions before he was sure that he would do something bad.
After all, spiritual practice cannot be accomplished behind closed doors; it requires contact with other practitioners."
He closed his eyes again and murmured: "After a while, I found that the benefits of this approach were too low, and there were always dangers. It was far less efficient than when I was in the sect.
So one day, I thought of that shortcut, maybe I got it during a certain mission expedition.
I decided to give it a try and see the effect. Where can I try it?"
Wang Jingyi blurted out: "Stay far away from home so that your family will not be implicated if you are discovered, and you must be prepared to deal with it if you are discovered!"
Zhang Ke closed his eyes and nodded: "Yes, you need to be far away from home, and you need to be able to escape if something happens. There are so many tracking techniques now, how can you do it?"
Leng Hong took a breath and said in a deep voice: "Deploying formations in advance, or other means, can effectively prevent tracking!"
"Yes, that's it, but where is the best place to set this location? The first is to be hidden, the second is to be safe, and the third is..."
After Zhang Ke opened his eyes, he slowly said: "The third thing is to be familiar with the place!"
Yu Hualong's heart moved: "There is no place safer, hidden and familiar than home!"
Zhang Ke smiled slightly: "That's right!"
Leng Hong said to himself: "It turns out that Guan Shu's home is here. That'll be easy. Someone comes!"
Leng Hong ordered the person in charge to search according to Zhang Ke's idea.
Moreover, the fact that the first few people suspected that Guan Shu had acted locally was also included in the investigation.
Zhang Ke looked at the map and knew it wasn't that simple.
Since this Guan Shu is so cunning, he must have arranged a lot of tricks. This is just one direction.
The Rubik's Cube in his hand was spinning faster and faster.
Zhang Ke said softly: "What if I am chased? Then I need to prepare more methods. The cunning rabbit has three holes, so how will I know that I have been discovered?"
When he came to the window and looked around, Leng Hong and others followed him, without disturbing Zhang Ke's thoughts.
Zhang Ke put away the Rubik's Cube, held the window lattice with both hands, and looked around.
Looking at the teams of people leaving Chongxiao Tower for work, my heart moved.
He raised his head and looked at the surrounding buildings, and said to Leng Hong: "Fellow Taoist, find a few people from these directions to find the best position to see the manpower sent by Chongxiao Tower!"
Leng Hong suddenly realized and ordered to go down.
Half an hour later, several people came back and reported: "The owner of the building, Wuxiang Building, Tianxing Building and the City Lord's Mansion can clearly see the people entering and exiting this building."
Leng Hong turned around and explained to several people: "Wuxiang Tower is a brothel, and Tianxing Tower is a place for stargazing.
Astrologers only come to Tianxing Tower every night when the moon is full. No one is allowed in or out on weekdays, so they probably won't be monitored here.
There is no need to go into details about the City Lord's Mansion. I am familiar with most of the people in it.
Then Guan Shu's most likely hiding place may be this Wuxiang Building.
The people here are complex and come and go frequently, so it is not easy to be noticed."
Zhang Ke and others nodded in agreement, Leng Hong prepared all the manpower and set off with Zhang Ke and others.
Wu Xianglou.
Standard pavilion style, with five floors.
There are carved beams and painted buildings, the walls are covered with famous calligraphy and paintings, and green plants and potted plants can be seen everywhere around the corner. It is very elegant and quiet.
Although it was daytime at this time, there were many people coming in and out.
Leng Hong waved his hand, and hundreds of his men surrounded Wuxiang Tower, setting up formations around it to prohibit entry and exit.
Leng Hong took the lead to enter, followed closely by Ding Man, Zhang Ke and others.
As soon as I came in, I heard a lazy voice: "Hey! Mr. Leng is here. Why did he surround my little sister? Are you trying to block the intimacy with my little sister?"
Zhang Ke looked up and saw a charming woman leaning on the stairs on the second floor of Wuxiang Building.
Wearing a lavender tight-fitting long skirt, it looks a bit like the cheongsam in Zhang Ke's dream. Her figure is exquisite and undulating, and she is enchanting.
She has slender eyebrows, loving eyes, red lips and sharp teeth, and a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, which makes her even more alluring.
Leng Hong stepped forward, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Mama Chang looks younger. I have important things to do here, so please make it convenient for me!"
Grandma Chang smiled and said: "Hey! What a big deal! Whatever!"
Then he shouted back: "It's ward rounds, everyone, come out!"
After a while of Yanyan Yingying's complaints, everyone in the building went downstairs and stood on both sides of the building.
Some prostitutes dared not speak out in anger, but just lowered their heads and cursed secretly.
Leng Hong ordered his men to conduct an inventory of the building first.
After waiting for half an hour, the man came to report and confirmed that no one was left in the building.
Leng Hong said sternly: "No one should act rashly, any violators will be killed on the spot!"
Many disciples stepped forward and solemnly said: "Follow the instructions!"
"Pap tap tap~!"
The sound of dense footsteps sounded, and several disciples stepped forward to interrogate the more than fifty men guarding the side.
Zhang Ke glanced at Aunt Chang, received an unbridled wink, and ignored her.
He observed every man carefully. There were prostitutes, slaves, and other people working in the building.
Because it was broad daylight, the number of prostitutes was relatively small, and most of them were people in the building.
First, ordinary people are filtered out.
After all, there are only a handful of practitioners. After using magical instruments to detect spirits, only seven people were left standing.
Leng Hong personally checked the seven people and found that they were all casual cultivators.
During these days, in order to hunt down Guan Shu, many practitioners rushed to Licheng filled with righteous indignation.
Nothing happened, so I went to Wuxianglou to have a good time. Being interrogated at this time, I felt very humiliated.
After all seven people checked it and compared it over time, no abnormalities were found.
Leng Hong came over with an ugly expression, found Zhang Ke, and whispered: "I didn't find it!"
Zhang Ke thought for a moment and then said: "Surveillance is very simple, and you don't necessarily have to do it yourself!"
Leng Hong frowned: "This is not easy to handle. There are more than two hundred people here inside and outside, and we can't handle it in a short time."
Zhang Ke looked at the person in front of him.
The prostitutes dared not speak out in anger, but the girls in the building laughed unscrupulously in low voices, and from time to time flirted and seduced everyone.
Others just stayed where they were.
His mind was spinning rapidly, and he was a little disappointed. He thought he might be able to capture Guan Shu by surprise.
Now it seems that I overestimated myself.
Suddenly he said: "What does the tree look like? Is there a picture of it?"
Someone was handed a picture of a young adult man.
She is very beautiful, which can only be described as a beauty that is close to neutral.
And there is something very special. In the portrait, there is an extremely conspicuous red mark in the center of Guan Shu's eyebrows.
Zhang Ke's heart moved, and he felt that this person looked familiar. He turned around in his mind several times, but he couldn't remember when he had seen him before.
He handed it to Yu Hualong next to him and said, "Do you think this Guan Shu looks familiar?"
"Is there any? I can't see it!"
Yu Hualong looked up and down and didn't see anything wrong.
The portrait was passed around among several people, and Ding Man and others found it strange.
But there are a few people in Chongxiao Tower who feel a little familiar.
Zhang Ke touched his chin, feeling a little weird.
I have been with Yu Hualong these past few days, why do I feel there is something wrong?
When I saw the women in the building, my heart moved. I came forward with the portraits and compared them one by one with the women in the building.
Leng Hong felt that there was something wrong in Zhang Ke's mind and he was looking for Guan Shu among the women.
Now he already knows Zhang Ke's origin.
He believed that Zhang Ke's behavior at this time was just an excuse to make mistakes in his reasoning.
He looked at the joke calmly.
The inspection took nearly an hour, and everyone waiting in the hall became impatient and began to make noises.
"Are you done yet? It's been a long time!"
"That's right! It's their problem that we can't find it, so what's the point of holding us here?"
"I'll have business later, but it's embarrassing to have so many people around the door!"
The voices of dissatisfaction were getting louder and louder, but Leng Hong didn't stop them.
"Hmph~!"
Zhang Ke snorted coldly, causing everyone's ears to explode, their scalps to feel numb, and their chests to feel tight.
It suddenly occurred to me that these people were not ordinary people, and I immediately felt at ease.
Zhang Ke went around in a circle, but couldn't figure out a clue, and was scratching his head.
Leng Hong said: "Go back first! Think of countermeasures later!"
Zhang Ke had no choice but to agree, Leng Hong arranged for the Chongxiao Tower troops to leave, and then said goodbye to Aunt Chang.
Several people walked to the door, and Grandma Chang walked to the door.
He smiled and said, "Leng Louzhu comes here often when he has nothing to do! The girls have a lot on their minds!"
Leng Hong was a little embarrassed and glared at Grandma Chang.
Grandma Chang covered her mouth and smiled. Zhang Ke stepped out of the threshold of Wuxiang Building and suddenly turned back.
After looking at Grandma Chang carefully, she said, "Wait a minute!"
Leng Hong was a little confused and looked at Zhang Ke without knowing why.
Zhang Ke walked slowly to Grandma Chang and circled her twice.
Suddenly asked: "Have you noticed that Granny Chang seems to be somewhat similar to the picture of Guan Shu!"
Leng Hong was surprised at first, and then felt funny.
He turned around and said with a smile: "How is that possible? She"
After taking the portrait and looking at it for a few times, I couldn't help but be startled, and said curiously: "Hey! There are some similarities!"
Zhang Ke chuckled: "I thought this Guan Shu looked familiar just now. I checked inside for a long time and missed Grandma Chang!"
Leng Hong became serious and said sternly: "What is your relationship with Guan Shu? Tell me!!!"
Then they asked someone to test Grandma Chang.
As expected, Grandma Chang is a practitioner, and her cultivation has reached the advanced stage of Xiantian.
Immediately, her cultivation was locked with forbidden shackles.
Grandma Chang didn't resist. There were so many good players on the scene. If she resisted even a little bit, she might not end well.
Grandma Chang smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know any Guan Shu, I'm just an ordinary practitioner!"
Leng Hong sneered and waved his hand to take Aunt Chang away.
