However, Jiang Tian, who returned to his hometown this time, was somewhat unlucky. After visiting three scenes in succession, including the street where Jiang Tian fought and was knocked down, nothing was found.
After all, in such a densely populated area and on the street, it would be amazing to be able to hide something and not be discovered by subsequent searchers. And it seems that the people searching and exploring here are more attentive than in the abandoned village.
Therefore, not only the flesh and blood residues splashed on the walls were scraped away; even the large and small objects in the ruins of the buildings on both sides were carefully dug out and piled up by the roadside in categories for on-site personnel to identify their origins. ; At first glance, there is no room for intervention.
Even the busy people present looked at Jiang Tian, who was attracted by Murong Wu, with some suspicion. It seemed like there were people everywhere they went, staring at their backs vaguely; it seemed that the people investigating the scene were not so monolithic.
However, Jiang Tian was not discouraged, and he was mentally prepared for this situation. Immediately, he took the initiative to come to the only remaining Wuhou pavilion near the street where he was inexplicably knocked down and seriously injured and fell unconscious, and then asked someone to spread out the topographic maps.
Taking advantage of the bright afternoon light, I looked down at the layout of the streets and compared them one by one. Because I have been active in war-torn areas in the early years, in the absence of navigation equipment and electronic equipment, I need some skills and skills in naked-eye surveying and mapping.
For example, based on the distribution pattern of craters, the specific model, direction, and shooting angle can be determined; this is the basic method of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages. So after looking at it for a long time and drawing a few strokes on a copied city drawing, he suddenly spoke up again:
"That's true."
At this time, Murong Wu, who was in a particularly complicated and delicate mood, finally broke his usual silence when he saw this, and quickly asked:
"Did Jiang Sheng discover something?"
“We can’t talk about specific findings yet, we can only give some insights.”
Jiang Tian nodded slightly and said:
"In that case, please feel free to give me your orders."
Murong Wu immediately said seriously:
"Send people to these places to investigate. No matter what you encounter or see, you must come back and explain the situation carefully."
Immediately, he pointed to the three sites that were specially circled on the drawing; there were also several streets marked with ink lines that connected each other; and the nearest common intersection around these streets, and said:
"good."
Murong Wu nodded in agreement: Then he named several of the followers who were following him, and asked them to divide into groups of two or three people and go to the designated place according to the map to investigate the situation. Jiang Tian also slowly sat down cross-legged on the floor and closed his eyes to collect his thoughts.
Any living thing has a relatively reasonable range of activities and the corresponding basic rules of physical energy consumption ratio. Therefore, the probability of appearing on these streets for no reason and killing people is very small; rather, it is more like an act of actively clearing the place and clearing the way for something that cannot be done.
Therefore, what I am looking for right now is the possibility of such a possibility and the missed clues; according to the initial guess, the target should have a considerable body shape; if you want to be active in the neighborhood regularly, you must have a bright face. cover and hiding place.
Subsequently, the people who were assigned came back one after another. Among them, location No. 1 was excluded because it was completely burned on the spot and there was nothing left that could be seen at a glance; Jiang Tian did not think that this target could endure the damage of high temperature and smoke.
Then at the second meeting point, a slaughterhouse that survived the fire and a related delicatessen shop were discovered; they were temporarily marked by Jiang Tian as a focus of observation and search. Because this kind of place seems to be the most suitable for destroying corpses and covering up blood.
The subsequent reply from location No. 3 was also temporarily excluded by Jiang Tian. Because that is where Wuhou Pu is located; it is also where the most people come and go. Beings of this size that require a lot of food are difficult to hide from everyone.
Finally, it was location No. 4 that was farthest away, and it took longer than others before the reply came belatedly. Because there was a flower house that was mostly burned down. Therefore, those who went to explore inevitably spent more time inside to conduct preliminary searches.
Therefore, Jiang Tian then took the initiative to go to the second location, the marked slaughterhouse; however, he gave up after observing inside and outside. Because the specific site is too small, and the neighbors are all multi-story buildings with shops and homes on top, it is easy to see the inside from a high position.
Then, he came to the location of the flower shop; from a distance, he could see that almost half of the street was occupied by this large building that was so smokey that one could still see its former glory. This is also a place that provides various entertainment activities, similar to the goulan and tile houses of later generations.
Therefore, compared to the facade that occupies a width of more than ten feet along the street, there is also a rather large courtyard inside, and various buildings with different functions are distributed among them. Whether it's the usual eating, drinking, listening to music and storytelling, watching a show, or the romantic games and pink games that Hongxiu invites.
Even, in addition to traditional games such as cockfighting and dog racing, there are also rumors of semi-public gambling rooms and private rooms. Therefore, this is also a special place that has a great relationship with the management organization of Youtufang. The dancing girl Chuyu from Qunyulou escaped from here.
Jiang Tian, who had just arrived in Youtufang, had heard Kuaijiao Xiao Ao mention it several times; but for the sake of protecting his own safety, he had no chance to come and understand it for the time being. Therefore, for such a large building complex, just these dozen people are not enough.
However, Jiang Tian seemed to have underestimated the relationship and influence of the events here. Later, I saw that under the personal leadership of Guo Chongtao, the censor of the city, hundreds of people arrived here; and then under an order, they stepped on the ruins and rubble on the ground and picked them up with familiarity.
And he also brought more arranged drawings as promised; in the partially intact front hall of the flower shop, he put down chairs, desks, and cabinets to create a temporary office site. This also made Jiang Tian feel obvious pressure and urgency.
In fact, Guo Chongtao's mobilization of troops and crowds could not be hidden from others. Soon, people came to spy or inquire, and then returned one after another to return. Faced with such a battle, Guo Chongtao also made it very clear:
"To be honest with Jiang Sheng, my pursuit in other places has hit a wall one after another, and it has become impossible to find anything. If I can't make any more discoveries now, I'm afraid I won't even have the last reason to pursue the investigation. If it were anything else. If someone comes, I’m afraid it’s not…”
"Then you think too highly of me; it's just possible to discover something here..."
Jiang Tian smiled bitterly and said:
"It's enough to have this possibility! Others may not even be able to catch this possibility."
Guo Chongtao shook his head firmly and said:
"But no matter what, I will take care of all this. The worst thing I can do is go out and work as a censor for a few years afterwards. It won't involve Jiang Sheng, it's just the Chen you want to find. I'm afraid I won't be able to help much because of old things."
Since the other party's powerful analysis has made it so clear, Jiang Tian naturally can't remain silent. Immediately, he said directly to the left and right:
"Can you find me a map of the distribution of ditches nearby? At the same time, can you add the locations of pools and wellheads?"
Not far from the flower shop, people were busy coming in and out as they continued to gather. There were also people secretly giving directions to where Jiang Tian was:
"Is it him?"
Another trembling voice said:
"That man is not a living person! Not only did the villain see it with his own eyes, but he came to life out of thin air amidst the broken limbs and bloody flesh on the ground. He dressed so indifferently and stood up, which was really scary. also."
