Chapter 36 The traces appear and gradually become clear
"Run away?"
Tie Tang and Duan Jingrui looked at each other, and then they both hurried out of the cell, asking questions as they walked.
"Tell me carefully."
Bi Qi followed: "I heard that as soon as Hall Master Lin came out of the cell, he immediately left with his two men."
"Where to go?"
"It seems that I can tell the city."
"Are you fleeing in fear of crime?" Tie Tang composed himself, but the ruined temple was still lingering in his mind.
Out of the county office.
After repeatedly telling Bi Qi to be optimistic about the suspect in You County, Tie Tang and Duan Jingrui searched along the long street.
After several inquiries, we soon arrived in the direction of the city gate.
The guards guarding the city did not hide anything and told what they knew.
"Palace Master Lin was in a hurry and led the two of them out of the city anxiously."
"Have you ever said where you want to go?"
"From their conversation, I seemed to hear the word Sifang Mountain, but I'm not sure."
Duan Jingrui was confused: "Sifang Mountain? What are you going to do there?"
"Two reasons, either absconding, or... Hall Master Lin is going after Wu Qing." Tie Tang quickly connected the things together, but he always felt that there were still some gaps.
"The chief arrester, then we..."
Tie Tang took the lead and walked out of the city gate quickly: "Let's go too. Whether we find Hall Master Lin or Wu Qing, we should be able to solve some puzzles."
Duan Jingrui knew that Tie Tang didn't want others to know about the mole, so he didn't inform others, thinking that the strength of the two of them would be enough to handle everything.
On the official road outside the city, amid the dust, two speeding figures burrowed into the deep mountains.
Having the experience of the last search, the two of them arrived at the edge of Sifang Mountain without much effort.
Go there again.
It’s the Forbidden Mountain Range—Yinfeng Mountain!
"Commander, looking at these traces, Hall Master Lin is indeed here to look for Wu Qing, but I don't know what his purpose is."
Chasing Wu Qing.
Either to capture him and bring him to justice.
Either to abscond with him.
Now it seems...there are two reasons.
"It's useless to talk too much, only people will know when you see them."
"But Hall Master Lin is only capable of Yi Jin, so how can he dare to pursue Wu Qing?"
Wu Qing is very powerful. He dared to resist the last four people rounded up. Hall Master Lin alone cannot be his opponent.
Entering Yinfeng Mountain, the road is rugged and the ancient trees are towering. The traces of the past will soon be covered by the vegetation on the mountain.
Even with their last tracking experience, the two quickly lost their way in the mountains.
"We can only follow Hall Master Lin. With our strength, we should be able to catch up with him soon." Duan Jingrui felt helpless.
Tie Tang carefully looked at the surrounding bushes and couldn't find any impression of the last time he passed by.
"Duan Tou, do you think... Hall Master Lin knows the true route?"
Duan Jingrui's steps quickened, and his legs burst out with strength, shaking up the shrubs, branches and roots in his path.
He seemed to have discovered something and jumped to the top of the ancient tree.
"I'm afraid... I don't know!"
Tie Tang followed closely behind and jumped onto the thick branch.
At a glance.
About ten feet ahead, there is a pool of green water.
Shore.
There are three panting figures sitting there, who are they if they are not Hall Master Lin?
Boom!
The vertical waterfall slaps hard on the green pool surface, and through the rays of the scorching sun, it creates a series of colorful waves.
Bang! Bang!
Two figures landed in front of Hall Master Lin one after another, causing him to stand up hastily without wiping the water stains on his face.
"The chief arrester, Duan County arrester, why are you two here?"
Tie Tang carefully studied Hall Master Lin's expression and saw that he did not have much panic or fear.
"What are you doing here?"
Hall Master Lin stretched out his hand to wipe away the water stains, and said with some shame: "I let the thieves escape from my hands one after another, and I blame myself.
So I thought of coming to Yinfeng Mountain to look for clues about Wu Qing."
"In the vast mountains, if you meet Wu Qing here, wouldn't you lose your life in vain?"
Hall Master Lin waved his hands quickly: "I'm not here to find him, I just remembered that there was a dilapidated building in the place where Wu Qing went last time.
I thought that a person like him would not have no purpose, so I wanted to go back to that place and see what was inside.
Little did I know that this road is too difficult to walk, and I can’t find it even if I walk on it.”
At this time, the other two execution hall detectives also stood up and said a few words, and their words were roughly the same as those of Hall Master Lin.
After hearing this, Tie Tang nodded and waved to the two of them: "You two will return first, and Duan County and I will arrest you. Hall Master Lin can continue the search.
Remember, you are not allowed to reveal our whereabouts!"
"Yes, the chief catcher!"
After the two prison guards left...
Hall Master Lin also noticed that the atmosphere was a little strange, but Tie Tang didn't say anything and Duan Jingrui just buried his head and left. He could only follow behind.
After half a stick of incense was gone, the three of them were still silent. Hall Master Lin couldn't hold it in any longer.
"The chief arrest...is there something wrong?"
Tie Tang didn't look back and said calmly: "Hall Master Lin, what do you think about Wu Qing's escape from prison?"
"Subordinate... I dare not say anything."
"But it doesn't matter."
"My subordinates feel that...Wu Qing did not rely on his own ability. It is possible that someone secretly assisted him."
"Oh?" Iron Detective turned around and looked directly at Hall Master Lin.
"How can we see it?"
Hall Master Lin was a little unsure: "My subordinates are just guessing. One of them is that the time of Wu Qing's escape was somewhat wrong.
The second is those instruments of torture. Although my subordinates are not as good at martial arts as Wu Qing, they still feel that even with the bone-shrinking technique, they cannot escape so easily."
Tie Tang said happily: "What Hall Master Lin said is true, I think so too."
Hall Master Lin hesitated.
After a while, he said: "Could it be that the chief arrester suspects me?"
"Aren't you worthy of suspicion?"
"Subordinate..." Hall Master Lin's face turned red with anxiety, but he couldn't say anything.
At this time, Jingrui came out to smooth things over: "Ahem, the chief arrester, what Hall Master Lin said... also makes some sense.
The most urgent task is to find Wu Qing first.
Even if that doesn't work, we can just find that building, there may be something we don't know about inside."
"Let's go!" Tie Tang made up his mind.
The passing geese leave traces, and the passing wind leaves behind sounds.
Although Yinfeng Mountain is extremely primitive and wild, after all, Tie Tang had just been here a few days ago.
The various traces left behind will not disappear completely for a while.
After groping for a while.
The three of them still found the right route.
"Commander, I seem to have found a few traces left by Wu Qing." Duan Jingrui pushed aside the thick green leaves and pointed to a footprint on the ground.
"It hasn't rained in the past few days, and the footprints are still very obvious. Judging from the signs of soil, it shouldn't have been more than a day."
Tie Tang checked it out and confirmed his previous thoughts: "Wu Qing is back again... This further proves that there is a ghost in that ruined temple, and there must be something hidden inside.
At least it’s something important to Wu Qing, otherwise he wouldn’t have to go back and forth.”
Half an hour later.
The three of them stopped in a dense forest.
"A little further on is the place where I was found that day. If Wu Qing is inside now... once we cross, he will definitely know about it."
The invisible building in the distance is still dilapidated. From Tie Tang's current line of sight, he can't see the scene inside, and he can't be sure whether Wu Qing is inside.
