Chapter 434 450. Help from peers 28
Seeing a group of people hurriedly leaving the city, it was almost time for the city gate to close. Several people quickly pushed the door and closed it, but they did not leave just yet, but stayed here to guard.
Chief Lei led a group of policemen and stopped as soon as they left the city gate.
"Boss, are we really wandering around tonight?" Ding Le looked nervous, holding the knife tightly in his hand.
"I hope only our brothers know about this," Chief Lei said with a serious look on his face, "Master Ming just ordered us to go out of the city to search. We are here to do business under orders.
If we don't go out of the city today, everyone will have a bad meal tomorrow.
But when we leave the city, it's up to us to decide where we go. There have been several murders before, and we know for sure that as long as we don't wander outside in the middle of the night, our lives are not in danger for the time being.
Let's find a place to stay tonight and talk about anything tomorrow. ”
"But where are we going?"
Everyone agrees with this approach, but there must be a place to hide.
"Let's go to Maojia Village. There was a murder there last night and the whole village was deserted. Let's just find a house and close the doors and windows and stay up all night."
"Maojia Village?" Others were a little confused, but this was really the only choice.
There are other empty villages, but it seems that only Maojia Village is safer, because the murder happened yesterday, so the murderer will definitely not stay there today.
The few people did not dare to delay while talking and hurried towards Maojia Village.
On the way, he met Yun Tutu and the others who were still strolling. Lei Captou still stopped and asked, "Which village are you from?"
"We are merchants who came here yesterday, and we are going to take a walk around here." Zhang Yaowen knew that there was a headhunter upstairs when he heard the familiar voice.
"Are you merchants?" Lei Captou looked at them, feeling that they looked alike and a little bit different, but that was not the point. "You are new here, so you may not know much about our Nanyue City. During this time, Nanyue City Some are not very peaceful, so let’s find a place to stay first.”
"Thank you for reminding me, sir," Zhang Yaowen said with a smile, cupping his hands, "We are staying at a farmhouse and we will be there just ahead."
Lei Shaotou looked ahead. It was not in the direction of Maojia Village, and his expression couldn't help but look a little weird, "Are you going to Maojia Village to stay?"
Zhang Yaowen didn't know where Maojiacun was, but he nodded along with his words.
At this time, even the police officers behind him looked horrified. Who could be this evil person who actually sublet the house at this time?
"A murder occurred in Maojia Village yesterday. Now the whole village is empty. If you go there at this time, no one will greet you.
I suggest you hurry back to the city now. As long as you knock on the city gate and tell me the name of Thunder Catcher, they will be willing to open the door for you. ”
After all, they don’t want to fill in more lives, Lei Captou reminded him kindly.
"What a coincidence?" Zhang Yaowen glanced at Yuntutu. He just pointed in one direction. How should he solve this game?
Yun Tutu was a little embarrassed for Brother Zhang, but as a companion, she really couldn't ignore this matter, so she took a step forward and said, "Thank you, Mr. Cha, but it's been so long since I've been here, and it will be dark when I get back, so why not just make the mistake right?" , anyway, there was a murder last night, and the murderer should have absconded, but he is safe at this time
When we travel around outside, we don’t have such taboos. "Captain Lei didn't have much time to persuade here. Any further delay would only put everyone in danger when it gets dark, so he said, "We happen to be going there too, so let's go together quickly. ”
There are more people who are brave, and with their protection, it should be a little safer.
Now there was no need to make excuses. Zhang Yaowen and the others could only follow Lei Captou towards Maojia Village.
Maybe it was because of the weather, or because a murder had just happened before, but it was exceptionally quiet along the way. What was even weirder was that there was not even a sound of insects.
As everyone hurried along, the sound of everyone's breathing became more obvious.
Finally, before dark, a group of people entered Maojia Village.
They had come here to handle cases before, so Capt. Lei naturally knew which houses were better, so they went directly to the home of Chief Mao.
The ancestral temple is naturally safer, but there are still some taboos.
There was a lock on the village chief's door, but this was not a problem for a few arrests. One person stepped forward and gently pried the door lock open.
Mr. Lei turned his head and looked at Zhang Yaowen and the others, "There is no one in the village now, and every house is closed tightly. You should also come here to rest for a night. However, things in here cannot be touched or disturbed. We are just looking for a place." Shelter.”
Zhang Yaowen came all the way and communicated with them. He also knew that they were only here for temporary refuge. He would not say much about their actions.
After all, everyone will have fear when facing unknown things. No matter whose life it is, it is fate. Before there is no certainty of victory, such a choice cannot be blamed.
Although the police officers behind Mr. Lei disagreed, Yun Tutu and the others followed him into Village Chief Mao's house.
Once inside, Capt. Lei went to the door himself and bolted it. This was a typical farmhouse, except that it was surrounded by mountains and the walls were high.
There are some unprocessed firewood piled in front of the small courtyard. When you open the door of the house, the first thing you see is the rural living room, which is also used for eating. There are complete tables and chairs, and the cabinets on the side are filled with dishes and chopsticks.
The group of people entered quietly and found a place to lean against. No one entered Village Chief Mao's house.
After all, they are here uninvited, so it is best to leave them as they are.
"You merchants are quite brave." With the house as a support, Mr. Lei was not as nervous as before on the road. He sat down next to Zhang Yaowen. He always felt that the aura of the other person made him like him very much, but Can't say why.
“I can’t help it. Travelers often eat out late at night. Sometimes they miss their accommodation and sleep in the open.
I went into the city today, but the rooms were so popular that every inn was full. ”
Zhang Yaowen said truthfully, "We can't help it. I heard that the other party's house was empty, so I tried to come over and find a place to stay. At least there is a tile above my head, which can block some of the cold air."

"The people in Maojia Village are really mercenary," Lei Captou cursed, "Now let me tell you what happened here..."
"That's the thing. We don't know what the murderer is now, but we are more likely to be non-human. After all, we have visited so many crime scenes and found no traces other than the victim, and there is also a fishy smell. .”
