"See if there are any strangers in the crowd." Yang Si pondered for a moment and spoke.
Yang Si rubbed his chin. Xixiang City has been in a state of turmoil recently, and there are basically no outsiders coming in or out.
Therefore, those who came to watch the excitement were basically local people from Xixiang City.
Since they are common people living in the local area, they all know the basics, and more or less people will recognize them.
Afterwards, Yang Si arranged for the people to come out one by one, state their identities, and see if the people below knew them.
During this period, Wei Jiaqiang and two brothers, Wei Song and Wei Xiong, also came after hearing the news.
As a result, after a lot of trouble, the identities of all the people were verified, and they were all local people who had lived in Xixiang City for a long time.
Except for those few monks, there are no outsiders, and they all know the basics.
This is puzzling.
In this case, the only suspects are those great monks.
However, these great monks were empty-handed, and they were all ordinary people, so it was completely impossible.
That could only be because the murderer left here as soon as he kidnapped the child.
"Fourth Young Master, now that you have confirmed that there is no murderer here, should you consider disbanding these people first?"
Wei Jiaqiang looked at the people below and began to whisper.
This whole meal had taken a lot of time. Although they were willing to cooperate, they all had complaints after staying too long.
The woman who had lost her child had fainted from crying and was taken away by the government office for temporary placement.
"Then let's disband first." Yang Si frowned.
Anyway, keeping these people like this is not an option.
"By the way, for those families with children, send someone to follow them and escort them home." Yang Si added.
"Okay." Wei Jiaqiang nodded, and then announced that these people should disperse and go home.
Moreover, for those with children, Wei Jiaqiang arranged for a team of government officials to deliver them to their homes one by one.
By this time, it was getting late.
"Lord Governor." Yang Si looked at Wei Jiaqiang.
"Fourth Young Master, what's wrong?" Wei Jiaqiang looked at Yang Si in confusion.
"Xixiang City has always maintained martial law, right?" Yang Si asked.
Wei Jiaqiang was stunned for a moment: "Yes, the state of martial law has been maintained since that day."
Yang Si nodded.
"Let's go home first." Yang Si touched his stomach: "I'm hungry."
Everyone: "..."
Wei Jiaqiang was also confused by Yang Si's sudden question.
The two brothers Wei Song and Wei Xiong looked at Yang Si's retreating back with different expressions.
. . .
"Uncle Xue, did you notice anything wrong at the scene today?" At the dinner table, Yang Si was still thinking about today's events.
"No." Xue Long held half of the leg of lamb and chewed until his mouth was full of oil. This meal was more "bold" than Yang Hu's.
"My attention is all on the people around you, Fourth Young Master. After all, I, Old Xue, want to protect your safety. I didn't pay attention to the people outside." Xue Long wiped his mouth.
Yang Si nodded slightly.
"Xixiang City has always maintained martial law. Those children should not be able to be taken out. They should still be in Xixiang City." Chu Yi said.
"Is it possible that we can only conduct a city-wide search?" Xue Long said angrily.
"This is unrealistic." Yang Si shook his head and said.
Now, let alone Yang Yanxuan's absence, no one has the reputation to search the entire Xixiang City, and secondly, there are not enough manpower.
The city's martial law has eliminated most of the city's garrison and government officials.
If martial law personnel are deployed to conduct a comprehensive search, the murderer may take the opportunity to escape.
In the case of insufficient manpower, even if a city-wide search is carried out, Xixiang City is so big that we don't know how long it will take.
"But I have a different opinion." Yang Si took a mouthful of rice.
Everyone looked at Yang Si in confusion.
"From the beginning to the end, those children who were kidnapped are most likely no longer in the city." Yang Si said.
"Huh? But now that the whole city is under martial law, how do they take the children out?" Xia Yuerong asked with a frown.
"I don't know." Yang Si shook his head.
"Then you said those children are not in the city?" Chu Yi was confused.
Yang Si put down the bowl and chopsticks: "Although I don't know what means the other party used to take the children out, I am now basically certain that those children are no longer in the city."
"How do you say that?" Ling Yu was also a little curious after hearing this.
"I read the files. Since the martial law in Xixiang City, more than 20 children have been taken away one after another. Including today, there are 27 children."
"If so many children are hiding in Xixiang City, the target is too big." Yang Si pondered.
"And the youngest is less than one year old, and the oldest is only ten years old. If so many children are making trouble, it will definitely make a big noise."
When everyone heard this, they nodded unconsciously, it was indeed the case.
"If I were a murderer, I would never hide so many children in Xixiang City."
"And if there is no way to take it out, I will stop on the second day after quitting smoking." Yang Si said.
Then, Yang Si looked at Xue Long: "Uncle Xue, in today's situation, if you were the murderer, what would you do, kidnapping the child without anyone noticing?"
"Fourth Young Master, you are making things difficult for me, Old Xue. If I really want to kidnap that child, I will take action directly. No one can stop me anyway." Xue Long said helplessly, using his brain is the most annoying thing. .
Well, Yang Si was speechless, he asked the wrong person.
"Taoist Priest was in the dark today. Did you find anything?" Yang Si looked at Ling Yu and asked.
Ling Yu shook his head: "I didn't find anything unusual."
"It would be nice if your second brother was here." Xia Yuerong said with some emotion.
Hearing this, a gentle-looking young man appeared in Yang Si's mind.
Yang Erlang, Yang Er, Yang Si's second cousin and the son of his second uncle Yang Yanzhao.
He is born with keen intuition, and his methods of investigating and solving crimes are impressive. He even has a reputation as a great catcher in Daxia.
However, Changan now serves as the Chief Catcher of the Divine Catcher Division.
"Far water cannot quench near thirst." Yang Si said helplessly.
The younger generations of the Yang family are all very promising, and if any one of them is at home, they don't have to run around by themselves.
Of course, except for Yang Hu, who is a reckless man.
"Moreover, those who targeted the Fourth Young Master have not come forward. It is probably because Xixiang City is under martial law now and it is difficult to take action in the city." Ling Yu said,
"I didn't even find anyone following the Fourth Young Master." Xue Long also added.
"I wonder if the other party has given up temporarily." Ling Yu said.
"I feel like I was scared off by you, Taoist Master Lingyu." Yang Si raised his head and said with a smile.
Ling Yu said at the beginning that the eighth level warrior was not injured by his opponent.
It is estimated that the other party knew that he was secretly protected by Taoist Master Ling Yu, so he did not take any further action for the time being.
"It's possible." Ling Yu nodded. Although the man in black from the Eighth Realm that day was also from the Eighth Realm, he was completely suppressed by him.
"However, since the other party can train so many warriors of the third realm and fourth realm to serve as death warriors, it is obviously not easy. I feel that it is better to be cautious. The other party probably will not give up easily." Ling Yu thought of those dead warriors in black. , said.
Xia Yuerong nodded. Warriors from the Third Realm or even the Fourth Realm acted as death warriors. Even for the Yang family, it was a bit of a luxury. It didn't mean that the Yang family didn't have the ability, but it was just not worth it.
"It's better to find the murderer who kidnapped the child now. Continuing martial law like this for a long time is not an option." Yang Si said helplessly.
. . .
That night, Yang Si was playing games and thinking about today's situation.
Not only was there no progress today, it could also be said that a child was abducted in front of him.
