At the cottage beside Hongshui, Zhao Gongzheng was waiting outside the house where Li was about to leave. When he met Wu Sheng, he quickly reported: "I stayed here for a whole day, but Li didn't come back. His wife and daughter don't know yet."
Wu Sheng looked at the simple wooden house not far away, and saw smoke curling up from the kitchen. The wife who was leaving might be cooking in the house. It looked peaceful and peaceful.
"You can't find it over there?" Zhao Gong asked again.
Wu Sheng shook his head, feeling not in a good mood.
It was now evening. After searching to the river during the day, he searched everywhere on the other side of the river and downstream, hoping to see people alive and corpses dead, but it was a pity that it was in vain. He even sank to the bottom of the river and searched carefully, but he didn't find any valuable clues.
If you want to commit suicide by drowning, of course it is best. What if you don't die but survive?
He was arrested by himself, and was defeated by Jiang Ying. The two followers treated him like this. How dare he go to Linzi to report? Even if he goes to Linzi, will anyone believe him?
How much did Jiang Ying tell him last night? How much does he know?
After thinking about it, if Li wanted to survive, it was really unlikely that he would go to Linzi to report him. Even if he went, he wouldn't know the fact that Jiang Ying was killed by him.
However, Wu Sheng would not do such things if he wished to be away from death, or he did not dare to report, and placed his own safety on others.
"Wait three more days." Wu Sheng's expression was very bad - of course it was not good. A battle with Jiang Ying would cause a lot of losses. In addition, no one would look good if he didn't get the divorce.
Duke Zhao did not dare to offend him, so he responded more respectfully. Eager to throw the blame away, he suggested: "Could it be Wu Yuan?"
Wu Sheng shook his head: "I invited us into the palace last night and turned around to attack. Wu Yuan would not be so unwise. Wu Guo cannot bear the anger of the academy. He must flee the city."
Duke Zhao asked again: "Besides guarding his home, what else can I do? Should I ask Feng Yong and Gao Li to come out to look for him?"
Wu Sheng nodded: "Spread out the people. I have found all the wild lands outside Gusu City. If there is no... let them focus on the rivers and waterways, especially the big river fifteen miles southwest of Gusu City..."
Mr. Zhao said: "Spring water? That's a bit troublesome. The downstream flows directly into the river..."
Wu Sheng didn't bother to explain, and kept making the same assumptions: "I guess if you want to leave, you must escape from this river. The school is short of manpower. Instead of spreading it out to spread the noodles, it is better to focus on the key points and lower the net, and use all the strength to search for spring water." , You want to see people alive, you want to see corpses when you die!"
Gusu Academy searched along the river for three days, and the result surprised Wu Sheng. They actually got some clues, and Wu Sheng immediately rushed to a fishing village by the river.
This is already the southern part of the Wu Kingdom far away from Suzhou. The river runs east to west and is so vast that you can't see the edge. On the other side of the river is the Yue Kingdom.
Two fishermen in the fishing village reported to Wu Sheng that at dusk three days ago, they had finished fishing on the river, and when they were about to return to the shore, they found someone in the water holding a piece of wood floating down the river, and they immediately rescued him.
The body shape and clothing of the man who fell into the water were similar to Yaoli's, and he was unconscious when he was rescued. There are so many coincidences in the world. It is almost certain that they are going to divorce.
It has almost become a rule that if you fall into the water, you will never die, so Wu Sheng has been mentally prepared, but he is still disappointed.
You Qi was picked up by someone.
The fisherman had to repeat the details of that time again, and at the same time danced and gestured: "The person who picked him up is so tall..."
"That high?"
"Put your hand down a little bit... almost. He looks younger than me, and the villain is in his early thirties, so he should be in his twenties..."
"Are you in your early thirties?"
"Yes, the villain is thirty-two or thirty-three. By the way, his face is paler than the villain's!"
"……continue."
"He came to stay at my house five days ago. He left early and came back late. He didn't know what he was busy talking about. When he saw me carrying someone back, he helped me, um, and then kept patting him."
"How to shoot?"
"I was shooting randomly. I wanted to wake him up. Don't tell me, he might know some witchcraft and he actually woke people up. Then he asked me to wait outside, and later asked the villain to bring some water and food inside. , By the way, the little man made fish soup, and the little man’s fish soup was cooked very well. After a bowl of soup, the drowning person will be healed, jumping around alive, and can even walk on the ground!"
"Then what?"
"Then he took the person away, and the person followed him. He seemed to be an acquaintance. Do you think it was a coincidence?"
"In which direction? When?"
"I left early the day before yesterday, heading south."
"What clothes are you wearing?"
"The black linen clothes I wore, the one who drowned changed into the clothes of the villain. The gray linen clothes, new clothes, were knitted by my mother-in-law for me during the official festival. They were only dipped into the water twice..."
“Where do the men in black live?”
"In the woodshed, I asked him to live in the side room. If he doesn't go, he will have to live in the woodshed..."
A group of people from the school broke into the woodshed and rummaged through it, but did not find anything of value. The man in black, as the fisherman said, cleaned up relatively cleanly when he left, leaving nothing behind.
Feng Yonghe asked: "Where is the money he gave you?"
The fisherman denied: "What kind of money? How can we charge foreigners for renting a place to stay? Our village is the most hospitable..."
Gao Li said: "How much money he gives you, we will double it in exchange, but if you count randomly, your whole family will not survive!"
The fisherman hesitated for a moment, but finally did not dare to mess around and took out a bunch of copper shell coins, about fifty.
Wu Sheng took out the Shen Zang Seeing Light Talisman and asked the Talisman Master from Gusu Academy to pursue it, but there was no aura of spiritual power fluctuations on the coins, so the pursuit failed.
Gao Li asked the fisherman about the origin of the coin, and the fisherman kowtowed repeatedly: "I'm not making this up, this money was indeed left by that man. He sank it in a small bamboo basket in the river, and asked the villain to pick it up before he left. Don’t dare to deceive without intention!”
Everyone present was a veteran in investigating the case, and they immediately judged that the man in black linen was a habitual criminal and had strong anti-search capabilities.
"The order was given. There were two suspects. One was about to leave, wearing gray linen clothes, and the other was wearing black linen clothes and went south. We mobilized Kuaiji, Yuhang, and Oucheng to search for them with all their strength. They went from north to south, each covering hundreds of miles. They found the criminal. After you find the trace, report it immediately!"
As for the height, age, and appearance described by the fisherman, they are not acceptable. If they must be added, they should be in an interval value, that is, between six feet and seven feet in height, under fifty years old, and the skin color cannot be evaluated. The conditions make no sense.
Wu Sheng has experienced many major cases handled by the Academy. Schools from all over the country were mobilized to join forces to encircle and suppress the case, which was quite powerful. Two of them were suppressed, two were participated in the suppression, and now he is presiding over the encirclement and suppression. The experience is quite different.
No one dared to resist Fengxing's wrath, especially the new one who was investigating the case for the first time. No one wanted to be burned by his three fires. Schools in various places immediately responded to the order and went all out, acting vigorously and resolutely. In Wuyue from north to south Search all over the land.
