More than half an hour later, Chai Yan, four others, Yuan Zhixian, Hua Tiannong and others arrived at Liuju City.
As soon as he entered the city, Chai Yan walked straight to somewhere in the city.
Yuan Zhixian followed Chai Yan closely, panting and saying: "Master Chai, where is the county government..."
Chai Yan kept walking and asked, "Did I say I was going to the county government office?"
"Uh..." Yuan Zhixian thought about it carefully. Chai Yan did not say that he was going to the county government. He said that he was going to catch the murderer. Could it be that now?
Hua Tiannong followed Chai Yan on the other side. After hearing this, he asked: "Master Chai, where are you going?"
"Didn't I say that before I came here? Catch the murderer!" Chai Yan replied, and then accelerated his pace again.
Yuan Zhixian and Huatianong did not dare to ask any more questions, and quickly followed with the four accompanying government officials.
According to the directions given by Shangguan Peining, Chai Yan led everyone to turn left and right in the city. After walking for about a stick of incense, they arrived at a deserted street. Not far ahead was a long-abandoned mansion.
Chai Yan came to the house with a dilapidated gate, looked at it and asked: "Yuan Zhixian, what is this place?"
Yuan Zhixian hurriedly came to Chai Yan's side and said out of breath: "Go back... back to your lord, this place is... Mr. Lu's... Mr.
Home..."
"The old house of the Lu family..." Chai Yan frowned and asked, "Do you have any explanation?"
Yuan Zhixian was panting and couldn't speak, so he gestured to Huatianong.
Hua Tiannong immediately answered: "Sir, the Lu family was the richest businessman in Liuju City twenty years ago. At that time, although the Hai family could be said to be a strong competitor of the Lu family, their strength was far inferior to that of the Lu family.
Later, the head of the Lu family suddenly died of a mysterious illness overnight, and then the Lu family slowly declined. The Hai family, which lost its strong competitor, rose rapidly and replaced the Lu family as the richest businessman in Liuju County.
"
After hearing this, Chai Yan nodded slowly and asked, "Where are the descendants of the Lu family now?"
"I don't know. It is said that he left Liuju County in his early years and I don't know where he moved to." Hua Tiannong replied.
After hearing this, Hang Baiqiu immediately had an idea. He took a step closer to Chai Yan and said quickly: "Hey! Do you think the death of the head of the Lu family had something to do with the people of the Hai family, so the descendants of the Lu family came back?
Are you seeking revenge against them?"
When Hua Tiannong heard this, he couldn't help but nodded.
"Hey, that's a pretty good imagination..." Chai Yan joked.
Hang Baiqiu was a little unhappy and immediately rolled his eyes at Chai Yan.
The teasing was teasing, but Chai Yan did not ignore Hang Baiqiu's guess. After thinking for a moment, he said: "I don't rule out the possibility you mentioned! But maybe the matter is actually simpler. It's just that the bad guys just used this abandoned house to imprison Hai Wenbin.
, there is no such complicated plot as you mentioned."
Hang Baiqiu shook his head and insisted: "Anyway, I don't think things will be that simple!"
Hua Tiannong asked: "Master Chai, do you mean that Hai Wenbin is in this house?"
Chai Yan nodded and said solemnly: "The possibility is very high!"
Hua Tiannong was shocked when he heard this and said anxiously: "Sir, I will send people back to mobilize people to surround this house!"
"No!" Chai Yan immediately objected and said seriously: "If you go back to transfer people, you will definitely make a big noise. What if you alert the bad guys?"
Hua Tiannong said: "But sir, there are just a few of us, I'm afraid..."
Chai Yan shook his head and said: "It's okay. You and Yuan Zhixian will take two people each and guard the front and back doors carefully. The four of us can sneak in quietly!"
"How can this be done? Sir, how can I let you personally..."
"...Stop talking, just do as I say!"
Chai Yan didn't want to listen to his rambling, so he interrupted him decisively.
As the saying goes, a person with a high official rank can be crushed to death, let alone an official from the Wude Department.
With no other choice, Yuan Zhixian and Huatianong had no choice but to follow Chai Yan's words and divide their troops into two groups to guard the front and back doors of the house. As long as anyone came in or out, they would immediately seize them!
Chai Yan and Hang Baiqiu, on the other hand, took Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun around to the side and chose to climb over the wall and enter the hospital.
When I entered the yard of the Lu family's old house, I saw that there were waist-high weeds and abandoned old things everywhere. It was obvious that no one had lived there for many years.
Hang Baiqiu observed the surrounding environment and asked Chai Yan in a low voice: "How do you know Hai Wenbin is here?"
Chai Yan did not answer immediately, but first pulled Hang Baiqiu to squat down, and then replied in a low voice: "I'm not sure whether Hai Wenbin is locked up here, but I can confirm that the murderer who killed the book boy and the boatman is hiding.
In here!”
After speaking, Chai Yan pointed to a two-story building in front of him.
"Where?" Hang Baiqiu asked in surprise.
Chai Yan nodded and whispered: "Cheng Jiu, in a moment you go to the left, Guan Maochun, you go from the right... Chief Hang goes from the front, I go around to the back, everyone splits up and sneaks in carefully, be sure not to disturb the people inside.
People, do you understand?"
"Understood." "Understood, sir."
Cheng Jiu and Guan Maochun nodded in agreement.
When Chai Yan saw Hang Baiqiu frowning and not answering, he asked, "What's wrong? Is there a problem?"
Hang Baiqiu said: "I think it's better for me to explore first and see what's going on inside before I act!"
"This..." Chai Yan hesitated.
Hang Baiqiu immediately said: "This, this, this, you don't have experience in this kind of thing like me, so there is nothing to worry about."
Chai Yan also thought about it. Hang Baiqiu's kung fu was the best among them, and he was also the commander of the Wude Department. He must have more experience in secret infiltration than the three of them.
"Well, then be careful." Chai Yan agreed.
Hang Baiqiu nodded and said, "Don't worry!"
After saying that, Hang Baiqiu crouched and used the help of weeds to reach the second-floor building, while Chai Yan, Cheng Jiu, and Guan Maochun stayed in a nearby hiding place and waited patiently.
After about a cup of tea, there was a sudden slight shaking in the weeds ahead, which immediately made Chai Yan and the other two people more vigilant.
After a while, Hang Baiqiu's figure emerged from inside.
When Hang Baiqiu returned to his side, Chai Yan immediately asked: "How is it? What's going on inside?"
Hang Baiqiu's chest heaved a little, and he gasped: "I've seen it, there are three people inside, one hostage, four kidnappers, all with weapons..."
Chai Yan looked around, then picked up a thinner branch and said to Hang Baiqiu: "Be specific, let me draw a picture..."
Hang Baiqiu nodded and immediately described what he had just seen...
While Hang Baiqiu was talking, Chai Yan drew on the ground with tree branches. Soon, the location of the kidnappers, the locations of doors and windows on all sides of the building, and the locations where the hostages were held were all marked clearly and clearly.
After finishing the painting, Chai Yan pointed at a small circle with a branch and said seriously: "Cheng Jiu, you are responsible for dealing with this kidnapper!"
"Okay, sir." Cheng Jiu agreed immediately.
Then, Chai Yan moved the branch in his hand, pointed at another small circle, and said, "Maochun, this is for you."
"Yes, sir." Guan Maochun immediately geared up.
Finally, Chai Yancai said to Hang Baiqiu: "There are two left, you pick first."
Hang Baiqiu stretched out his hand and said confidently: "I'll do this!"
Chai Yan nodded immediately, then threw away the branch in his hand, and said: "Be careful when we pass by in a while. Once you are in your place, follow my orders and start working together. Do you understand?"
After hearing this, Hang Baiqiu and the others immediately nodded and agreed in unison: "Understood!"
