He stood in the middle of the road and observed the situation around the checkpoint and the mountains on both sides.
Last night, all the money collected by Qiang Hu and others was handed over to Leng Yue for safekeeping. I don't know what the final result will be.
Therefore, neither Qiang Hu nor Yang Sanqiang took over the checkpoint inspection.
They all stood behind the roadblock, looking out into the crowd of refugees, hoping to find anyone suspicious!
Qiang Hu saw the situation nearby and pointed out the checkpoints to Yang Sanqiang.
Yang Sanqiang understood this and sent a brother to each checkpoint to observe the soldiers' interrogations of the people.
After Qiang Hu arranged these, he took Xiao Zhang and others out of the roadblock and walked into the fleeing crowd.
Those who were fleeing looked at the majestic Qiang Hu and others, and they all stepped aside to make way for him.
Qiang Hu and others went to the end and found no suspicious person. They climbed up the hillsides on both sides and looked around.

At this time, the company commander who had been standing on the side of the road with a gloomy face and refused to speak finally couldn't help his curiosity and walked over to Chen Zifeng.
He tilted his chin toward the checkpoint and said, "Brother, won't you take over the investigation?"
Chen Zifeng turned back and stared at him. Only then did he realize that Qiang Hu had been collecting money for a few days, and his evil deeds had spread thousands of miles!
He curled his lips and said, "Actually, we just want to find suspicious people! If we ask a few more questions, they will give us money! Do you think they are suspicious or not?"
The company commander nodded and asked again: "What suspicious person are you looking for?"
Chen Zifeng glared at him fiercely and said: "Japanese spies! Didn't you find anyone suspicious while you were here? Just look at the ID, collect the money, and let them pass! Brother, Wuhan is behind you!"
The company commander looked at him blankly, a little speechless.
Chen Zifeng kept staring at his eyes, suddenly became confused, and asked: "Brother, did something happen here? Something strange? Is there anything?"
The company commander blinked and seemed to be still hesitating.
Chen Zifeng roared: "If you have any, just tell me!"
The company commander tilted his head toward the mountain and said: "In the morning, several of my brothers went to the mountain to check the blockade. They came back and said that the old man who was watching the forest in the mountain died, probably killed by a wolf or wild boar. That's all.
thing."
Chen Zifeng glanced at Xiao Ancheng and said fiercely: "Take me to see it! Now!"
The company commander called a few soldiers and led the way up the mountain. Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng followed closely behind him.
Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue in the distance noticed something unusual and followed them.
2-19
The mountain road is difficult to walk. There are trails in some places, but there are no trails in most places.
The dry branches that have not yet turned green are blocking the way, and the stones and potholes are hidden under the grass. If you are not careful, you will be swept into the face by the branches, or your feet will be injured by the potholes.
Everyone was panting. Although it was very cold, they still felt sweat on their backs.
Exactly an hour later, the company commander led Chen Zifeng and others over the mountain and found the ranger's hut in a sunny ravine. Before they even got there, they could tell something was wrong there!
The door of the hut was open, and a bamboo basket was buckled on the ground. There were a large number of red peppers scattered around, which pierced their eyes like blood. Then, they saw a man lying at the door.
The company commander said: "That's the man watching the forest. I've met him before and he's an honest man. I didn't expect that he, a man who grew up in the mountains, would be eaten by wolves!"
Chen Zifeng and others walked around a small ravine, passed through a small forest, and finally reached the door of the cabin.
2-20
When they arrived at the door, they saw that the forest man was in a miserable condition. His upper body fell inside the door, and his lower body was leaning outside. His entire chest and abdomen had been torn apart by wild beasts, and it was too horrible to look at.
The two killers, Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue, were also frightened by this situation and slowed down.
The company commander seemed to be aware of this situation, and he and his soldiers stopped from a distance and looked over there.
Chen Zifeng and Xiao Ancheng walked to the body. They only took a glance and saw something abnormal.
Most of the ranger's body was outside the door, and his chest and abdomen that had been torn apart by wild beasts were also outside the door. But on the ground outside the door, except for the blood marks stamped by wild beasts, there were no traces of blood. On the ground inside the door, there was a trace of blood.
Large blood stains.
The two of them looked at each other, then carried the body outside the door, laid it flat, and looked at it carefully.
For a moment, Chen Zifeng slowly turned the deceased's head to expose his neck. At this time, he stared at Xiao Ancheng with an unusually fierce look.
Xiao Ancheng immediately moved over and looked at the deceased's neck. There was an extremely small wound on the deceased's neck!
He could see that the edge of the wound was very smooth, and it was obviously caused by a sharp blade, and his carotid artery was cut with great accuracy!
They looked at each other again, their eyes sharp and fierce. They both saw what the other person was thinking!
Li Xiulan, who lives in Baofu Lane, Fangbang Road, had her carotid artery cut off by such a sharp dagger! If Dr. Fu hadn't come in in time, Li Xiulan would have died!
The inch head that Qiang Hu saw outside the checkpoint in Yuexi County, as well as the extremely precise knife in front of him, seemed to prove that the murderer was most likely Kawakami!
Qiao Yanfang and Leng Yue noticed something unusual and ignored the blood, so they came over to take a look.
As soon as Qiao Yanfang saw the wound on the deceased's neck, she immediately said: "Is it Kawakami? He has come to Wuhan!"
Chen Zifeng said: "Look around, are there any traces?"
The four of them searched carefully with the door of the hut as the center, two people outside the door and two people inside the door.
The company commander and his soldiers also noticed something unusual and walked over slowly, wanting to ask.
Chen Zifeng pointed at him and shouted: "Don't come over! Back off!"
The company commander asked in a low voice: "He...what happened to him?"
Chen Zifeng said: "He was killed by someone! And he was a trained guy!"
"Who is it? Why do you want to kill him?" the company commander still asked.
"I'm not sure yet! My guess is good, he was killed by a Japanese spy!"
The company commander was taken aback and immediately ordered his soldiers to disperse and search nearby.
2-21
Half an hour later, Chen Zifeng and others' search ended. They found no further clues.
Instead, Leng Yue found a cloth shoe beside the bed, picked it up with one finger and walked out.
She handed the cloth shoe to Chen Zifeng and said, "I only found this one!"
Chen Zifeng observed this cloth shoe carefully. It seemed that this cloth shoe had been worn recently, and there was no dust on it for a long time. But why was there only one?
Soon, the company commander's soldiers returned, also carrying a cloth shoe in their hands. They said they found it beside the path at the foot of the mountain.
Chen Zifeng looked at the two identical cloth shoes with confusion. One was wet from the dew in the mountains, but the other was dry. If the deceased dropped one of his shoes while walking, wouldn't he go back and look for it?
Xiao Ancheng took off the shoes on the deceased's feet and compared them with the cloth shoes in Chen Zifeng's hand. The two shoes were different in size! Obviously, these two cloth shoes did not belong to the deceased, but to the murderer!
He said softly: "The lacerations on his chest and abdomen may have been bitten by wild animals last night. I estimate that this man was killed yesterday morning or afternoon! The murderer may not have gone very far!"
Chen Zifeng looked at the situation in front of him, hesitated for a moment, and said to the company commander: "Brother, you have to cooperate with us."
The company commander nodded and said, "No problem, you say."
Chen Zifeng pointed to the body and said: "Please, brother, please send this body down the mountain and put it on our truck. We will send him to the hospital for autopsy!"
He pointed to Qiao Yanfang, "Xiao Qiao, go back with the company commander and the others. Tell the brothers to set off immediately and walk one kilometer south along the road. Wait for us there! The three of us are searching south from here to see if we can find it.
His traces!"
Qiao Yanfang nodded and said: "Understood!"
Next, the company commander directed several soldiers to find a sheet from the house, wrap the body up, and carry it down the mountain.
Chen Zifeng and others observed the surrounding situation and walked south along a path in front of the house.
2-22
Searching in the mountains is tiring because there are no roads and we don't know where the guy who killed the ranger will go.
Chen Zifeng held a map in his hand, observing the surrounding mountains and dense forests from time to time, and then comparing it with the map to guess the direction the murderer might take. They scattered and searched forward, constantly looking up at the hillsides and ravines in the distance, and constantly looking down at their feet.
Hope to find the traces left by the murderer.
Finally, they found a footprint beside a creek.
Xiao Ancheng took out the shoes worn by the murderer from his bag and compared them with the footprints. The size was right, but they were not sure if they were the footprints left by the murderer. They hoped that they were the footprints left by the murderer! But they just hoped, but there was no such thing.
use!
But the footprints are not fresh, and the edges are a bit dry and hard. They are definitely not left today. But it is still a bit reluctant to say that they were left by the murderer. The only thing that can be seen is that the footprints are walking south, exactly where they are going.
The direction of Wuhan!
Chen Zifeng looked at Xiao Ancheng, then looked back at Leng Yue. She always looked expressionless and cold as ice.
Chen Zifeng looked around and suddenly asked: "By the way, Xiao Leng, what are you going to do with the money last night?"
Leng Yue stared at him motionless and asked, "What money?"
Chen Zifeng opened his mouth in surprise and looked at her in disbelief.
He rolled his eyes, suddenly smiled crookedly, then stood up and continued walking forward without asking any more questions.
He had a guess in his mind that Leng Yue wouldn't want to keep all that money! Last night, An Thief only guessed that she wouldn't hand it over! Damn it, if she really kept it all to herself, that would be almost the best solution.
!
Of course, except Qiang Hu will jump and get angry!
However, he still couldn't believe that Leng Yue would really take all that money! She didn't seem to be such a person!
Damn it! It’s more than two thousand yuan! It’s almost a huge sum of money! Will she keep it all?
When Chen Zifeng thought of this, he suddenly realized that this Leng Yue was definitely not what she seemed on the surface! It could almost be said that her thoughts were a bit unfathomable!
