"Master, don't be impatient. There is still a fish that has slipped through the net and has yet to be caught. Xiao Liu has a plan to make this fish fall into the net."
Xiaoliu smiled and said to Lao Xing that he had not forgotten the bandit named Xie Zhongda. This man had not been seen since half a month ago. It was not difficult to determine that he was the bandit who sneaked out to pay for his murder.
When Lao Xing heard this, he also thought of a bandit who paid to kill Xiao Liu, but he asked with some uncertainty:
"Liu, are you sure that bandit will really bring people to rescue them? Will this bandit be so loyal?"
In Lao Xing's opinion, bandits are a group of extremely cruel and inhumane people. When a disaster like this is imminent, they should all flee into the mountains and forests, and how could they come back to save other bandits.
Xiao Liu hesitated when he heard this. To be honest, he didn't believe that these bandits would be so loyal. However, although he found it strange, he still said with certainty:
"Don't worry, master. Although I don't know if that bandit is really loyal, he will definitely bring people to save them. Because if he doesn't want to save them, then there is no need for him to spend money to hire killers. After all, he himself has escaped."
Hearing this, Lao Xing also nodded. This is the reason.
"Well, what you said makes sense, so what are you going to do next?" Lao Xing asked Xiao Liu.
Hearing this, Xiao Liu glanced at the group of bandits being imprisoned aside, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he whispered in Lao Xing's ear.
Listening to Xiao Liu's plan, Lao Xing's eyes lit up. He looked at Xiao Liu in surprise and pointed at him, smiling as if he wanted to say something.
However, Xiaoliu pressed his hand and continued to speak in his ear. Lao Xing nodded while listening, with an intriguing smile on his face.
Yang Huilan and the other detectives on the side looked at Lao Xing and Xiao Liu's master and apprentice like this. Although they were all curious about Xiao Liu's plan, they did not dare to eavesdrop.
After hearing this, Lao Xing also smiled at Xiao Liu. He patted Xiao Liu on the shoulder and said with a smile:
"Well done Liu, I'll do as you say. Then I'll leave this place and these people to you. I'll prepare the troops first."
"Don't worry, Master." Xiao Liu also responded with a smile, he wanted to complete the battle together.
"Okay, you three will lead the team and follow me. The rest will be commanded by Deputy Chief Yan." Lao Xing turned around and assigned.
"Yes!" The three detectives called by Lao Xing responded quickly.
In the past month or so, in order to facilitate the mobilization of manpower, Xiao Liu divided the more than 70 agents into seven teams. Each team has about ten people, and each team has a team leader to oversee them.
Soon, three teams of about thirty police officers followed Lao Xing down the mountain under the leadership of their respective captains.
The remaining forty-odd people were led by Xiao Liu.
When Yang Huilan saw Lao Xing leaving, she also knew that Xiao Liu was busy with something again. She hesitated for a moment and then stepped forward and asked:
"Deputy Chief Yan, is there anything you need my help with?"
After hearing Yang Huilan's words, Xiao Liu thought about it for a moment. Yang Huilan was a master, and having her help would undoubtedly be an added boost.
However, Yang Huilan's thoughts are not unclear to Xiaoliu. The two parties had a cooperative relationship in dealing with the bandits before. I paid for your help, and the two parties did not owe anything to each other.
And then asking others for help is a favor.
As the saying goes, the price is easy to negotiate, but the favor is hard to return, especially in this world, sometimes a favor can even be worth a life.
If it was an acquaintance like Lao Bai who knew everything about him, Xiao Liu would not care. The favor would be owed and he could just repay it next time. However, he did not want to have too many entanglements with Yang Huilan.
What's more, Xiaoliu is confident that he can solve this matter by himself, so there is no need to owe others any more favors.
After thinking about it, Xiao Liu shook his head and said with a smile:
"Thank you Miss Yang for your kindness, but Miss Yang has already done us a lot of help by taking the risk to help us trap and kill the bandits in Heifeng Village. The remaining thieves, Yan, are confident that our government can solve them on their own, so we won't Sorry for bothering Miss Yang."
"As for the reward that Miss Yang deserves, I also asked her to go back to the inn to rest for a few days. I will send someone to report to Lou Magistrate. I believe that these fifty taels will be delivered to the girl soon."
"But please, girl, don't talk to anyone about the fact that the bandit has been eliminated for the time being. Yan is still of great use in this matter."
Hearing Xiao Liu's refusal, Yang Huilan also smiled bitterly in her heart. She had already guessed this answer.
However, even though she had been prepared in her heart, she was still a little disappointed, but she did not lose heart. Yang Huilan smiled and clasped her fists and said:
"In this case, Hui Lan will not disturb Deputy Yan's arrest. Hui Lan is waiting for Deputy Yan's successful return from the arrest in Qixia Town."
Xiaoliu also pretended not to understand, cupped his fists and thanked:
"Thank you very much, Miss Yang, for your kind words. All the brothers on behalf of Yan are here to thank you."
Seeing Xiao Liu like this, Yang Huilan shook her head helplessly and smiled, and then she went back to the inn.
Although Xiaoliu secretly rejected her kindness again today, at least the relationship between the two is a little closer than yesterday, and she also helped the government to deal with this group of bandits, and the fifty-tael silver reward is about to be obtained, which just solves the problem. Her immediate concern.
After Yang Huilan left, Xiao Liu also led people to suppress the surrendered bandits and entered Heifeng Village, which he had been unable to conquer.
There were still two bandits guarding the entrance of Heifeng Village, but when they saw that the situation was over, they took the initiative to open the gate and surrender before Xiaoliu could say anything.
In this way, Xiaoliu and others finally entered the Black Wind Stronghold that they had been surrounding for more than a month but could not break through.
The terrain of Heifeng Village is extremely steep, with cliffs on both sides. There is only one steep slope that can be accessed. This slope is located halfway up the hillside. It is high, narrow and dangerous. In addition, the bandits in Heifeng Village use It was surrounded by a fence, so even with Xiaoliu's Qinggong, he didn't dare to break through.
After walking through this path, which is only about one person wide, there is a cave inside. The terrain is open and flat. In the valley, there are all kinds of flowers, plants, trees, birds and animals. There is even a clear spring falling from the mountain stream. This place is simply legendary. of paradise.
Seeing such a treasure, Xiaoliu couldn't help but marvel. This was simply a secret base given by God. No wonder the bandits in Black Wind Village could stay in it for so long without any worries.
But it is a pity that the dangers of mountains and rivers cannot be used to strengthen a country, and the advantages of war cannot be used to strengthen a country. Even though he was sitting on such a treasured land, he still captured these bandits.
