Song Shenghua and Song Zhixian were playing chess in the backyard pavilion.
Song Shenghua's face was full of disgust: "Dad, what song are you singing? Why do you suddenly want to play chess?"
Song Zhixian thought for a long time and then said: "Isn't it agreed that from now on I will go and play with Deng Yufeng every day?"
"Dad, did you say that the person who was killed at the back door last night was sent by Deng Yufeng?"
After an on-site investigation last night, it was found that the branches and leaves of the big tree not far from the body were obviously damaged, indicating that Qiao Zheng was probably squatting on that tree from the beginning.
He was squatting on the big tree at the back door of the Zhenxie Department in the middle of the night. He was obviously sent here by someone else to inquire about information.
"Let's see if anyone comes to inquire in the past two days."
"ask?"
When Song Shenghua was confused, one of Song Zhixian's cronies walked into the backyard.
"Sir, someone just mentioned something about last night with a handyman disciple, intentionally or unintentionally, and asked about the appearance and characteristics of the man in black last night."
"Who asked, contacted someone outside."
"A servant who delivers food to the Zhenxie Division has been checked by my subordinates. His family background is innocent and there is no problem.
But when his wife was in the morning, she talked to all the neighbors along the way, and one of them had a nephew’s brother who recently worked as a helper in the Wu Mansion.”
"I understand, let's go down."
"yes."
After waiting for the others to go down, Song Shenghua curled his lips and said, "Dad, it looks like he was sent by Deng Yufeng."
Song Zhixian nodded: "He should be the only one these days. The gangs and sects in the county should not be so free."
…
Night time.
In the station between Ping'an County and Shatian County.
Yi Cheng looked through the window on the second floor and saw dozens of figures standing in the backyard, and couldn't help but shudder.
A postman next to him whispered: "Sir... sir, these people, where... where did they come from?"
Yi Cheng pulled Yi Zu over and walked down the stairs to the lobby below.
"These are people from the Zhong family in Jiangzhou. Those in the backyard are not humans, they are zombies!"
"ah!"
"Shh! Keep your voice down."
Yi Cheng covered Yi Soldier's mouth.
The door of a room on the second floor suddenly opened, startling both of them.
Yi Cheng quickly said: "Sir... Sir, he is young and ignorant. I hope he will not be blamed."
A young man in black robes walked out of the house and frowned: "What are you talking about? There is nothing to blame or not to blame; quickly go and get two jars of wine, our commander wants to drink."
Yi Cheng breathed a sigh of relief: "Don't worry, sir. I'll take the little one right now."
The young man nodded, turned around and entered the house.
inside the house.
Sitting cross-legged on the bed was a young man with long beard and hair, also wearing a black robe.
"How about it."
"Yi Cheng has already gone to get the wine."
"Okay, I'll give Lao San a drink later, and give him this map by the way."
The young man named Zhong Bin took out a map from his sleeve and handed it over.
The young man at the door reached out and took it: "Yes."
"Remember, don't tell the young lady about this. When the young lady asks, she will say that the third child has something going on at home and has gone back in advance. He has already reported it to me.
Tell Lao San that there are troops stationed over there and ask him to be careful.
After carving the formation patterns, we rushed back to Jiangzhou overnight."
…
Outside Qinghe Town.
Gu An, Qiu Ren, Lu Feng and others stopped outside Qinghe Town.
Soon, the mayor of Qinghe Town came out. After greeting Gu An and others, he asked.
"I wonder why you, sir, came to Qinghe Town late at night?"
Qiu Ren said: "Can I trouble the mayor to summon the village chiefs of the villages to which Qinghe Town belongs and ask if any outsiders have come to Qinghe Town in recent days?"
"Outsiders." The mayor murmured: "Okay, but this call will take half an hour. Sir, why don't you go in and wait?"
Qiu Ren was about to refuse: "No..."
But another voice sounded faster.
"Sorry, mayor."
Gu An smiled.
The mayor had recognized Gu An before, and his expression was a little unnatural: "No trouble, no trouble."
So, the mayor led the way and introduced Gu An and his party into the town.
Qiu Ren took Gu An aside and whispered: "With so many of us entering Qinghe Town, won't it cause trouble to the people in the town?"
While speaking, he also looked around.
Some houses near the streets in Qinghe Town were lit up with candlelight.
"What's going on today? Why are there so many people from the Zhenxie Division and the Wu Mansion?"
"Dad, what's going on outside?"
"People from the Zhenxie Division and Wu Mansion entered the town for some unknown reason."
"..."
Hearing the sounds that kept coming to his ears, Gu An nodded: "There are more mosquitoes outside at night, and everyone is tired after traveling all day.
It’s better to let everyone go in and wait.”
These words sounded like nothing wrong, but when Qiu Ren saw Gu An blinking at him, he understood that Gu An might have discovered something.
The two followed the team.
When he reached an alley in the town, Gu An stopped and looked inside.
The mayor asked: "Why doesn't Gu Xiaoqi leave?"
Gu An raised his hand to signal everyone to stop.
"Mayor, there are several families living in this alley."
The mayor thought for a moment: "Two households, one is a family of three, and the other is a widow with a child in the town."
Gu An frowned.
It doesn't seem right to break into a widow's house, right?
Nodding, Gu An said: "I understand."
With that said, everyone continued to move forward.
But Gu An's mental power shrouded this alley.
A quarter of an hour passed after Gu An and others left.
From the water tank in the yard of the widow's house, a figure wearing black clothes and soaking wet appeared.
The black figure let out a heavy breath, climbed out of the tank, hunched over and tiptoed towards the other tank.
"Dong dong! People are gone, come out."
After two breaths of tapping, the lid of another water tank was lifted, and a figure who was also soaked appeared.
"Why did the people from Zhenxie Division and Wu Mansion suddenly come here? Could it be that they discovered something?"
"What the heck, when we get here, the commander will know. It's not like the people in their Suppression Division and Wu Mansion could have predicted this."
"What now?"
"Where do you put all your zombies?"
"It's in the woods near the Tao family's ancestral land."
"Let's go, let's hide there for a while and wait until the people from the Suppressing Evil Division leave."
With that said, the two of them slowly walked outside the courtyard.
In the mayor's courtyard.
Gu An stood up and said, "Qiu Xiaoqi, Teacher Lu, I have some matters here. Let's go and deal with them first."
Qiu Ren nodded directly: "Go back quickly."
"rest assured."
Although Lu Feng didn't know why, he could only nod in praise.
He twisted his neck and moved his body, and his whole body made a crackling sound.
Seeing Gu An's actions, others knew that he was probably going to take action.
After ten breaths.
The two men in black were running towards the woods outside the town, their brows furrowed.
"Someone is coming towards us! It's going very fast!"
