Chapter 95
Hu Yiguan almost pinched the city gate, and Jiang Yu had been waiting here for a while.
Fortunately, there are many stalls selling snacks or tea near the city gate, so Jiang Yu doesn’t have to worry about not having a rest, and she can also get rid of lunch.
When Hu Yiguan arrived, Jiang Yu happened to eat at a noodle stall. When he saw him from a distance, he waved his hand and waited until Hu Yiguan came over and asked casually: "Did Brother Hu have lunch? If not, just happen to be together."
"I've had lunch, why didn't Brother Jiang eat at home?"
"There are no people at home, so there is no need to make a special meal. Just take a bite outside." The two of them ate the remaining noodles. Seeing that Hu Yiguan was really not going to eat, they got up and walked out of the city gate and talked about how the two of them should leave this time.
"We will follow Guan Road to the south, then walk to Shimo Town and turn south, then go back in a circle. It is easy to walk to Shimo Town on the first half of the way, and I guess there are no surprises on the road. The key is to go back to the second half of the way, not only are there many mountains and forests, but also have to wander on many small roads with few people, which is not only laborious and time-consuming."
Jiang Yu nodded, not dissatisfied with this arrangement. After all, Hu Yiguan’s understanding of Zhuzhou is not comparable to him. It is better for him to obey Hu Yiguan’s arrangements honestly, and by the way, learn about the terrain around Zhuzhou Prefecture City and some local characteristics.
Seeing that Jiang Yu had no objection, Hu Yiguan knew that the young man was asking him to make arrangements, so he took Jiang Yu all the way south.
There is nothing to say along the official road, it is nothing more than rushing to stay during the day and staying at night. If you miss the Guantou, you will find a place to deal with it overnight.
Although the season is already spring, it is still very cold in the morning and evening. It is not very comfortable to spend the night outside at night. If it rains, it will be even more painful.
Fortunately, Jiang Yu could find a place to stay anytime it rained, so he didn't suffer much.
But when Shimo Town turned around and started walking west, his luck was not so good.
Not to mention snakes and insects along the way, the road was muddy and difficult to walk. Fortunately, Hu Yiguan bought two pairs of good boots when he was in Shimo Town. Otherwise, ordinary shoes would have taken this kind of path... If the shoes were not said to be useless, their feet would not be able to stand it.
Jiang Yu has martial arts skills, but he doesn't adapt much to this kind of path. Compared to Hu Yiguan, he has no discomfort and he has the ability to make fun of Jiang Yu.
"Brother Jiang must often take this path in the future, so it is better to adapt as soon as possible."
Listening to Hu Yiguan's words, Jiang Yu had to smile bitterly, and then gritted her teeth and continued to move forward as a kind of practice.
After many days, the two of them walked back and forth in various paths. The village they passed by was not eighty or fifty years old, but they did not find any useful clues. Until this day, Jiang Yu looked at the situation nearby and felt a little familiar. After careful recollection, it was near Wu Village.
In fact, he had the idea of coming to Wucun from the beginning, but this time it came out to make Hu Yiguan familiar with the surrounding environment. Compared to investigating cases, it was secondary.
In addition, Jiang Yu thought about it in his mind that according to Hu Yiguan's arrangement, they could walk to the vicinity of Wucun at most about half a month. As long as they get to the vicinity, they could go over and check it out.
With this idea, Jiang Yu deliberately talked to Hu Yiguan when he saw the place: "Brother Hu, it's getting late today. Can't we find a suitable place to stay?"
Hu Yiguan looked up at the sky and nodded: "Let me find a village, Ming Ge'er will not run around anymore. Take a good rest for a day and buy something from the villagers. I remember there are not many villages nearby. In order to avoid us accidentally missing a place to stay and eat, we have to find a place to prepare more."
After saying that, he stood there and thought, then looked around and judged the location based on the trees.
"Huh? Why are you here?"
After Hu Yiguan judged where he was, he scratched his head. After thinking for a long time, he seemed to be unable to understand how he had walked in this remote place.
"There are no villages nearby. I remember there is a village called Wucun at the foot of the mountain. There are no other villages nearby."
He said that, shook his head: "It seems that I haven't brought this for a long time, and I didn't notice it earlier, otherwise I wouldn't have been like this."
Jiang Yu was still strange when she saw him feeling distressed before, but later she heard him talking and realized that she was wondering that she had inexplicably walked into such a remote place.
At the same time, he didn't expect that even Hu Yiguan, a remote village like Wucun, knew that this person was simply a living map.
But since you know, then the next thing is easy to say.
"Is this near Wucun?"
Jiang Yu looked surprised, as if he didn't realize it at all, but as soon as he said that he felt bad, as if he had performed too much, it would have been aroused by Hu Yiguan's suspicion.
Fortunately, Hu Yiguan had a headache whether to go to Wucun or tolerate it for two days in the wild, and speed up the journey to another village - because he remembered that there was nothing in Wucun, and at most he would just deal with it for one night and not sleep in the wild.
Just then, when Hu Yiguan heard Jiang Yu's words, he was stunned for a while before he realized: "Do you know this village?"
Jiang Yu nodded, and then briefly explained what he learned, and did not discuss anything like the god iron outside the sky.
Hu Yiguan naturally could not know this. After hearing Jiang Yu's description, he grinned: "This is bad. The nearest village will have to be two days away. If Wu Village is now a deserted village, we will have to sleep in the open again."
Jiang Yu said, "Why would you rather stay in Wu Village overnight, even if there is a roof in the deserted village to shelter from the wind and rain."
Hu Yiguan heard this but was silent for a while. After looking at Jiang Yu for a few glances, he said, "Brother Jiang may think that I am a little bit like that, but I think it's a bit inappropriate to live in such a deserted village where everyone inexplicably disappeared... it's a bit inappropriate."
"Isn't it?" Jiang Yu was stunned at first, and after a while, he realized what Brother Hu was afraid of: "Is Brother Hu afraid of running into something unclean?"
Hu Yiguan did not deny this, but nodded directly: "When you go out, you can avoid some things. What's more, those who do our business, accidentally pay attention to something, and losing your life is just a matter of day and night."
Jiang Yu didn't expect that Brother Hu would care so much about these things, so he had no choice but to use his trump card: "Speaking of this, the sudden disappearance of the entire Wu Village, the matter is really strange. We have to investigate some strange things this time when we come out to investigate the case. Do we have to investigate this matter? "
After saying this, Hu Yiguan's face changed indeed.
"You said this, there is something to say! Moreover, a village has lost its shadow, so it may be related to the group of thieves who have robbed the ore."
So many ores cannot disappear out of thin air, right? These thieves have either transported them out of Zhuzhou or found a place to hide them - so where are they hidden?
At this time, the whole village of Wucun disappeared. Could it be that it was just hidden near Wucun. I was afraid that the people in Wucun would reveal the news, so I simply killed the villagers in the village to keep this secret?
The more I thought about it, the more I felt that it was very likely. Hu Yiguan immediately made a decision: "Let's go to Wucun, but in this case, we probably can't have a good rest. Why not deal with this nearby for one night first, go again during the day tomorrow, and then carefully check if there are any clues left? If there is, follow the investigation, and if there is no, then take a rest in the village for a day and leave."
Jiang Yu was going to Wucun, so he certainly had no objection to these arrangements.
In fact, at the beginning, he wanted to leave Hu Yiguan and go to Wucun by himself, but after thinking about it, although he was a policeman, he had to open up the six orifices of the case and other things. Even if he asked him to turn Wucun into the sky, he would not be able to find anything.
In contrast, Hu Yiguan is a veteran in the police station, and he has truly been promoted to the police station by relying on his ability to investigate the case. This is an expert in this regard. Perhaps something that he can't see any problem will become the key to solving the case when it comes to this person.
“It’s the best choice to leave things to professionals.”
Jiang Yu made this decision without thinking for a long time. Anyway, she was not afraid of any accidents when she was by her side. But when she thought about it, Jiang Yu suddenly felt that she was not a good person.
"It seems that those who do such things are usually scheming villains?"
Shaking his head, he threw this strange idea out of his mind. Jiang Yu and Hu Yiguan found a clean and flat open space nearby, then found some firewood to rest on the spot.
Fortunately, there was a small stream nearby. The stream water was clear and there were fat and tender fresh fish swimming around the stream, so the two of them had a meal of grilled fresh fish.
After eating, they decided to take turns to watch and rest on their own. Of course, before that, Jiang Yu took the excuse to walk to the back of a big tree, and then entered the system, without losing his cultivation today. However, when Jiang Yu came back, Hu Yiguan was missing.
"Hmm? What's going on?"
Looking around, not only did Hu Yiguan's people disappear, but the surroundings were so quiet that they could not even hear a voice. This scene made Jiang Yu feel uncomfortable all over. Standing there, looking at the still burning fire, Jiang Yu couldn't feel the warmth at all, but instead felt a chill in his heart.
"Did Brother Hu really make the point? Is there anything unclean? Is this world still a world where monsters and monsters are rampant?"
Jiang Yu looked around carefully and finally saw a branch that was obviously broken about five meters away from the fire. He also found a very insignificant footprint.
"I'll just walk away for a while, and the quietness in the mountains and forests will be heard as long as it makes a little noise... This person is a master."
For some reason, Jiang Yu came to this conclusion and breathed a sigh of relief.
