I deliver food to Wanjie

Chapter 434 450. Help from colleagues 28
Seeing a group of people hurriedly leaving the city and the time for the city gate to close was almost up, several people hurriedly pushed the door over and closed it, but they did not leave, but stayed here to guard.

Captain Lei and a group of detectives stopped after they left the city gate.

"Boss, are we really going to hang out tonight?" Ding Le looked nervous, holding the knife tightly in his hand.

"I hope that only our brothers know about this matter," Captain Lei said with a serious face, "Lord Ming just ordered us to go out of the city to search, and we are here to do our job.

If we don't leave the city today, we won't have any food tomorrow.

But once we leave the city, we have the final say on where to go. There have been several murders there before, so we have an idea in our minds that as long as we don't wander around outside in the middle of the night, our lives will not be in danger for the time being.

Let's find a place to stay tonight and talk about it tomorrow."

"But where are we going?"

Everyone agreed with this approach, but there had to be a place to hide.

"Let's go to Maojia Village. A murder happened there last night, and the whole village is deserted. Let's just find a house, close the doors and windows, and stay up all night."

"Maojia Village?" Everyone else felt a little nervous, but this was really the only choice.

There are other empty villages, but it seems that only Maojia Village is safer because a 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.

When they met Yun Tutu and his friends who were still walking on the way, Captain Lei stopped and asked, "Which village are you from?"

"We are merchants who just came here yesterday and are planning to take a walk around here." When Zhang Yaowen heard the familiar voice, he knew it was Captain Lei upstairs.

"Are you merchants?" Captain Lei looked at them and felt that they looked like merchants, but also that they were not. However, this was not the point. "You are new here, so you may not know much about our Nanyue City. Nanyue City has been a little bit uneasy recently, so you should find a place to stay first."

"Thank you for the reminder, sir," Zhang Yaowen bowed and smiled, "We are staying at a farmer's house. We are just ahead."

Captain Lei looked ahead. That was not the direction of Maojia Village. He couldn't help but look a little weird. "Are you going to stay in Maojia Village?"

Zhang Yaowen didn't know where Maojia Village was, but he nodded in agreement.

Now even the detectives behind him were horrified. Who on earth would be so evil-hearted as to sublet the house at this time?

"A murder occurred in Maojia Village yesterday, and now the entire village is deserted. No one will greet you if you go there at this time.

I suggest you hurry back to the city now. As long as you knock on the city gate and announce my name, Captain Lei, they will be willing to open the door for you."

Captain Lei gave a kind reminder because he didn't want to cause any more deaths.

"What a coincidence?" Zhang Yaowen glanced at the cloud map. He really just pointed in a direction at random just now. How should this game be solved?

Yun Tutu felt a little embarrassed for Brother Zhang, but as a companion, she couldn't just ignore this matter, so she stepped forward and said, "Thank you, sir, but we have been out for so long, it will be dark if we go back, why not just go with the flow? Anyway, there was a murder last night, and the murderer should have escaped, so it is safe now.

We travel around the world and don't have such taboos. Captain Lei didn't have much time to persuade them. If they delayed any longer, it would be dark and everyone would be in danger. So he said, "We are going there too, so let's go together quickly."

There is courage in numbers, and with their protection, it should be safer.

Now there was no need to even find an excuse. Zhang Yaowen and the others could only follow Captain Lei and head towards Maojia Village.

Maybe it was because of the weather, or because a murder had just happened, the journey was exceptionally quiet. What was even more strange was that there was not even the sound of insects.

Everyone hurried along the way, and their breathing became more obvious.

Finally, before dark, a group of people entered Maojia Village.

They had been here to handle a case before, so Captain Lei naturally knew which houses were better, so they went straight to Village Chief Mao's house.

The ancestral hall is naturally safer, but there are still some taboos.

There was a lock on the village chief's door, but this did not pose a problem for the constables. One of them stepped forward and pried it gently, and the door lock opened.

Captain Lei turned to look at Zhang Yaowen and the others, "There's no one in the village right now, and every house is locked. You can all rest here for a night, but don't touch or disturb anything inside. We're just looking for a shelter."

Zhang Yaowen had communicated with them along the way and knew that they came here only for temporary refuge, so he would not say much about their actions.

After all, everyone will feel fear when facing unknown things. No matter whose life it is, it is life. Before there is a certainty of victory, such a choice cannot be blamed.

Although the constables behind Captain Lei were somewhat disapproving, Yun Tutu and the others still followed him into Village Chief Mao's house.

As soon as we entered, Captain Lei came to bolt the door himself. This was a typical farmyard, but it was surrounded by mountains and had high walls.

There were some firewood piled up in front of the courtyard that had not been processed yet. When I opened the door of the house, the first thing that caught my eye was the rural reception room, which was also used for dining. There were a complete set of tables and chairs, and the cabinets on the side were filled with bowls and chopsticks.

The group of people went in and quietly found a place to lean against, and no one went into Village Chief Mao's house.

After all, they came uninvited, so it's better to leave them as they are.

"You merchants are all very brave." With the house as a support, Captain Lei was not as nervous as before on the road. He sat down next to Zhang Yaowen. He always felt that he liked the aura of the other person, but he couldn't tell why.

“There’s nothing I can do. When traveling around, I often have to eat out at night. Sometimes I miss the place to stay, so it’s normal to have to sleep outdoors.

I went into the city today, but the rooms were so popular that every inn was fully booked."

Zhang Yaowen said something true or false, "We have no choice. We heard that the other party's house is empty, so we tried to find a place to stay. At least there is a roof over our heads to block out some of the cold."

"The people in Maojia Village are really profit-driven," Captain Lei cursed, "Now let me tell you what happened here..."

"That's the thing. Right now we don't know what the murderer is, but we tend to think it's not human. After all, we went to so many crime scenes and found no traces other than the victims. There was also a fishy smell."
