Although Wan County is not a prosperous place that business travelers must pass through, there are always travelers coming and going, including some martial arts practitioners who travel around the world, which is not surprising at first.
But Zhang Chong sensed a hint of danger in this man. Although Zhang Chong's martial arts was not very good, he had accumulated rich experience in catching thieves as a head catcher over the years.
He comes into contact with many people who practice martial arts on a daily basis, but the aura exuded by each person is different.
The knights in the arena naturally exude righteousness, the sneaky ones are full of vulgarity, and the assassins and killers are full of murderous aura.
At this moment, what he felt from this man was the bloody aura exuded by the murderer. Even if this man was not a murderer, he was definitely a man with blood on his hands.
Zhang Chong works as a police officer, and he is extremely sensitive to those who reveal evil spirits, because such people are very likely to cause harm to the local people in Wan County.
So every time Zhang Chong comes into contact with such people, he will always pay attention unconsciously.
The man didn't seem to notice or care about Zhang Chong's attention to him. He still walked forward with a steady pace and had no intention of looking back.
Although he has doubts about this person, after all, he is just walking and has done nothing. Zhang Chong cannot step forward to stop him without any reason. If he has to do this to every stranger, then on this day he will No need to do anything else.
Seeing this person gradually walking away, Zhang Chong turned around and planned to take Zhao Qiaoyun and Shiliu home. However, as soon as he turned around, he noticed that Zhao Qiaoyun's expression was not right.
At this moment, Zhao Qiaoyun's face turned pale, and her whole body seemed to be frozen in place. Even when Zhang Chong took Zhao Qiaoyun's hand, she could feel her body trembling obviously.
Her eyes were fixed on the figure that was about to disappear at the end of the alley, and her eyes were full of fear.
Zhang Chong immediately felt something was wrong, took Zhao Qiaoyun's hand and asked in a low voice: "Are you okay? Do you know that person?"
It was okay if he didn't ask. After asking, Zhao Qiaoyun felt his whole body tremble, as if he had been stabbed hard by something.
He said to himself: "This person feels so familiar and scary to me. I think I must know him, but I don't know who he is."
Hearing what Zhao Qiaoyun said, Zhang Chong couldn't help but look in the direction where the figure disappeared again. Who could be the person who could make Zhao Qiaoyun feel familiar and scared at the same time?
Zhang Song unconsciously thought of that person - Yan Song!
The two people who caused the most severe physical and mental harm to Zhao Qiaoyun were Yan Song and Xu Jinhong. Only these two people could make Zhao Qiaoyun feel extremely afraid.
And Xu Jinhong died under Shao Xi's sword a year ago, so the only remaining person is Yan Song!
Yan Song is the only person they are not sure whether he is dead or alive so far.
At this time, Zhang Chong's mind suddenly recalled what Shao Xi had just asked him at Wanfu Restaurant. Although Zhang Chong does not have a high emotional intelligence, it does not mean that he is stupid. A person who can be a head catcher is responsible for all the affairs of Wanxian County. How could the person investigating the case be a fool?
So when he recalled Shao Xi's questions to him, he realized that Shao Xi should have discovered that Yan Song might not be dead.
Shao Xi asked himself just to get some information from him and confirm his thoughts.
Shao Xi's previous questioning also confirmed Zhang Chong's thoughts at this moment. Only then did Zhang Chong really link the crime of colluding with bandits committed by Chen Mohuai, the former governor of Qingshan County, with Yan Song.
He finally figured out that when Yan Song was taken to Qingshan City, he must have been let go by Chen Mohuai, so there was no news about him later. The appearance of this person today also proved that Yan Song was indeed not dead.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chong hesitated and asked Zhao Qiaoyun cautiously: "Daughter-in-law, you said you feel that you must know this person. Is it possible that he is Yan Song?"
Originally, Zhang Chong thought that after he asked this question, Zhao Qiaoyun would tremble again because of fear like before.
Because the name Yan Song is like a nightmare to Zhao Qiaoyun. If the person just now is associated with Yan Song, Zhao Qiaoyun will definitely have a more intense reaction, which proves that his guess is not bad.
But Zhang Chong found that he seemed to have guessed incorrectly, because Zhao Qiaoyun did not have the reaction he expected. Instead, he shook his head in confusion.
"The fear this person arouses in me is no less than that of Yan Song, but I can feel that he is not Yan Song, but the bloody aura on his body makes me feel extremely familiar.
“If Yan Song made me remember the deepest humiliation, then the aura exuding from this person made me remember the deepest fear.
"I really can't remember who he is, but I must have seen this person, and he is an extremely terrible person."
Zhang Chong was completely confused at this time. He was still full of confidence in his analysis before. He already felt that he had discovered a very important secret, and this secret had been discovered by Master Shao before.
Being able to figure out what Master Shao was thinking about gave him an inexplicable sense of satisfaction. But at this moment, this sense of satisfaction was shattered by the answer Zhao Qiaoyun gave.
Since this person is not Yan Song, the conclusion that Yan Song is not dead can only remain a hypothesis. After all, you can't tell whether a person is alive or dead if you can't see him alive or dead.
Therefore, the result that Yan Song is still alive cannot be established yet, which shows that neither he nor Master Shao has found the final correct answer.
Zhang Chong decided to tell Shao Xi his thoughts when he saw him tomorrow, and asked Shao Xi to help him analyze whether his judgment was correct or not.
Also, who is this person I met tonight?
It seems that this person's identity cannot be found out by himself, because he can feel that this person's martial arts is much higher than his own?
If you want to check such a person, you can only do it by someone with strong martial arts skills and careful thinking like Master Shao.
Zhang Chong felt that he had a headache. He was not stupid, but he was definitely not smart, so this was all he could think of. If he continued to think about it, he would become more and more confused. He might as well find Mr. Shao tomorrow and have a good discussion. Discuss it.
So while comforting Zhao Qiaoyun, he took her and Pomegranate back home.
Zhang Chong and Zhao Qiaoyun didn't sleep well that night. Zhang Chong always unconsciously wondered who the person they met in the alley could be. Why is Zhao Qiaoyun so scared?
And Zhao Qiaoyun really couldn't sit still all night because of fear. It can be said that these two people stayed up until dawn.
Originally, Zhang Chong was going to Bafang Inn to take Shao Xi and others to the government office after dawn. However, because of what happened the night before, Zhang Chong was worried that leaving the two women Zhao Qiaoyun and Shiliu at home would make them feel uneasy. .
So he simply took the two of them to Bafang Inn.
When they arrived at Bafang Inn, they saw that Shao Xi and others had finished washing and came down from upstairs, and were arranging for people to go to the backyard to bring out their camels and horses.
Zhang Chong looked at the four tall camels and the horse that was only responsible for carrying luggage with a confused look on his face. He thought to himself: Why has Mr. Shao changed his taste? Why did you start riding a camel instead of riding a horse?
Although this thing looks like it only takes a few days to eat, it can last for several days in one meal. It is no more energy-saving than a horse, but it is quite trouble-free.
Shao Xi couldn't help but laugh when he saw Zhang Chong staring straight at the camels.
"Don't think that I like riding this thing very much. I'm just going to leave for the Western Region in a few days, so I changed the horse to a camel in advance."
"oh!"
Zhang Chong didn't know why Shao Xi and the others were going to the Western Regions, and he didn't want to know. All he could think about at the moment was what happened yesterday.
But this is not the best time to talk to Shao Xi about this matter. Now it is business to help Shao Xi and others pack their luggage, lead the horses and camels, and accompany Shao Xi and others to the government office.
After a lot of trouble, a group of people finally arrived at Wanxian's county government office. After the government servant at the door ran in to report, Han Shaoguang and Zheng Yuanxiu ran out of it in a hurry.
Han Shaoguang asked the servants in the government office to move their luggage to the room prepared for each of them, and then led the camels and horses to the backyard to feed them, and then came to the flower hall in the back hall of the government office.
Shao Xi and Lao Wu were very familiar with each other here. It was here that Yan Song hosted the banquet for the two of them. It was also here that Lao Wu received Shiliu's hint and learned that Zhao Qiaoyun was trapped.
The food has been prepared here. Han Shaoguang invited everyone to sit down and everyone chatted while eating.
At this time, Zhang Chong finally found a chance to speak, so he told Shao Xi, Han Shaoguang and others what happened last night, and also expressed his thoughts, wanting to hear the opinions of Shao Xi, Han Shaoguang and others. .
After finishing speaking, he looked at Shao Xi and Lao Wu expectantly.
I originally thought that the county magistrate Han Shaoguang and the county magistrate Zheng Yuanxiu would have some ideas of their own, but it turned out that these two guys, like Zhang Chong, stared straight at Shao Xi and Lao Wu, as if they had no ideas at all.
Shao Xi saw a group of people looking at him with big eyes, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Why are you all staring at me? I don't know more than you, but according to Zhang Chong, this person His figure and the way he walks do look a lot like Yan Song.
"But I don't doubt Miss Zhao's feelings. As the person involved, her feelings should be very accurate. So who could this person be? Now I can only rely on guessing.
"But since this person can make Miss Zhao feel scared, it means that he must be related to Yan Song. The most shocking and tragic encounter for Miss Zhao was with her father, the former county magistrate Zhao Tianrong, in Laiwan County On the way to take office, he was robbed and killed by Yan Song's group of thieves.
"So the person who can make Miss Zhao feel scared must be related to this matter. Since Zhang Chong has been a head catcher for so many years and has been working for Yan Song for so long, I think his judgment should not be wrong.
"This is interesting. One of you and your wife think that this person is Yan Song, and the other thinks that this person is not Yan Song. And both of them are related to the incident of Mr. Zhao being robbed and killed on his way to take office. So what can I think of? There is only one answer.”
