Chapter 2491 Burning Building ([-])

The carriage started quickly, and it came to the intersection not long after. Investigator No. [-] was following on foot, and he was already a little out of breath.People were coming and going on the road, Qiao Yan's cart was inconvenient to drive, and Yang Cao's carriage overtook him in a short time. As calm as before, the car body swayed from side to side, obviously the load was not heavy, and the ruts were very shallow, Yang Cao immediately felt something was wrong, and said in a low voice: "Go, see if there is anyone in the carriage."

Investigator No. [-] immediately jumped out of the carriage and walked over quickly.He rubbed his body on the front shaft of the car, fell down immediately, and said: "Ah, the big car hit someone."

The handlebar was startled, and immediately reined in the cart, saying: "You, you bumped into it yourself, what are you doing to me!"

Investigator No. [-] immediately got up and grabbed the bridle, saying: "How can it be reasonable to want to leave after bumping into someone!" As he spoke, he got on the car and pulled the handlebar, taking advantage of the body to hit him, as if Unintentionally hung it up with his arm, pulled up the curtain, and suddenly found that there was no one in the car.

The investigator immediately took out his work ID card and yelled at the driver with a vicious look on his face, "Where is the person in the car? I work in the yamen. You have to tell the truth, or you will face a lawsuit!"

The coachman was at a loss, and didn't know who the man was, he saw his face was fierce, and he was afraid to provoke him, so he couldn't help saying: "No, I don't know, then, that man gave a double reward as soon as he got on the car, The only way is to send a letter to Sanxiantai. The car curtains and curtains must be hung on the road, and they cannot be opened. They said that if the letter is not delivered, I will pay double the money. Stop, just jump out of the car and leave." He said and took out an envelope.

Investigator No. [-] snatched the envelope, opened it and saw that it was indeed a blank piece of paper, so he stopped talking to the coachman and reported back immediately after taking the envelope.Now that person is the only clue to this matter, once lost, it will be like a mud cow, and it must be recovered as soon as possible.She quickly spread out the map of the area in the carriage, marking the streets, exits, and paths around the surveillance area, walking on the map with nervous eyes, while thinking quickly in her mind.Do not go outside the city, walk, it means that their stronghold is in the city or at least there is a foothold in the city. The place where he got off the car should not be the stronghold, otherwise a little analysis will reveal it. The driver said to get off at the previous intersection It shows that Yangcao and the others found it quite in time, and the target should not have gone far. From the time calculation, it should not exceed half a street, and there is still a possibility of reshooting.Thinking of this, Yang Cao quickly circled the possible positions and paths of several targets on the map with a red pencil, then pulled out the bottom box of the car, took out the [-]x telescope, and handed the map and telescope to the front of the car The No. [-] investigator in the gang said: "Commanding heights, search and observe." The No. [-] investigator took the things and nodded.

The coachman glanced around and stopped the carriage along a high wall beside the road. Scout No. [-] stepped on the roof of the car and jumped onto the wall in two steps with a telescope in hand. On the branch, cover the telescope with a cloth towel, and quickly search the streets and alleys according to the target's appearance and the points marked on the map.

Time passed by every minute and every second, Yang Cao took out his pocket watch and looked at it, fine cold sweat began to ooze from his forehead, and the eyes of the three people under the tree gradually became more and more anxious.Suddenly, investigator No. [-]'s telescope stopped swinging abruptly. He stopped for a moment, held the mirror in his left hand, and pointed to the west with his right hand. Said: "The target is moving from west to east, and he is following the E line."

At this time, investigator No. [-] tilted his leg, propped his hands and feet on the trunk twice, and almost jumped straight down from the tree. As soon as he landed, Yang Cao immediately said to him: "You are in the best physical condition. The Geng line is interspersed, the Geng line is wide, and the cart takes the Geng line, move." Then the coachman yelled: "Drive!" The cart galloped straight through the Xie Street according to the planned route, while the No. Lane took a shortcut and rushed away.

Yang Cao's carriage went around for a while, slowed down on a straight road in front of Qiao Yan, put down No. [-] investigator, and No. [-] investigator just came out of the narrow alley, still some distance away from the target.Investigator No. [-] calmly said to the newsboy next to the road: "A daily newspaper." He took out a coin from his pocket and threw it over. Investigators always carry a lot of change with them, in case they pay the bill at any time without giving change .

Investigator No. [-] stood quietly by the side of the road, holding a newspaper, looking over the edge of the newspaper silently. After a while, Qiao Yan walked in front of Investigator No. [-]. After he passed six or seven meters, Investigator No. [-] came Putting away the newspaper calmly, Shi Shiran followed slowly.At this time, the No. [-] investigator had also recovered from the violent panting of running, and slowly followed behind the No. [-] investigator.Still according to No. [-] main tip and No. [-] auxiliary tip, the position of poplar grass is slightly changed, and it falls slightly behind No. [-] scout.Although Guangzhou has been restored now, there are still not many women who show their faces. If a woman appears repeatedly, she will be more eye-catching and more likely to be exposed. Therefore, generally only male investigators are assigned as the main officers, and women are often used as mobile substitutes.

Yang Cao followed investigator No. [-] and walked through another intersection. She suddenly noticed something strange in the eyes of a beggar beside the road. Although the beggar kept shaking his bowl and begging for food, his eyes were more than ten meters behind Qiao Yan. Constantly linger.Yang Cao's heart skipped a beat, the target was answered.

She walked forward quickly, surpassing investigators No. [-] and No. [-] in a row, and put her hand on her waist, reminding investigator No. [-] that the target was responding. The No. [-] sent a message, and the No. [-] and No. [-] investigators immediately exchanged positions to confuse the responders, while Yang Cao slowed down and fell behind, searching for the figure of the beggar.

Sure enough, the beggar followed quietly among the crowd. At this moment, Qiao Yan in front suddenly turned into an alley next to him, and then leaned his body against the wall of the alley on the back street to peek back. After switching positions, No. [-] The investigators did not turn into the alley, but walked slowly and walked straight through the alley without looking sideways.Investigator No. [-] stopped calmly, sat down at a tea stand by the road, ordered a cup of tea and two pieces of snacks, and read the newspaper while drinking slowly in a calm manner.Yang Cao turned into a cloth shop by the road, rummaged through the fabrics, chatted with the clerk, and watched secretly through the gate.

Qiao Yan stared at the back of the distant No. [-] investigator, took a long time to look away, and then turned his eyes to the beggar in the crowd, the beggar shook his head lightly, Qiao Yan's heart suddenly widened, Zi Chang breathed a sigh of relief, and waited for a while, seeing nothing unusual, he no longer hesitated, flashed out of the alley, and walked forward quickly.

Yang Cao walked out of the cloth shop and switched to the main position, while scout No. [-] followed behind her, and the two trailed quietly behind Qiao Yan, like a hidden trail.Investigator No. [-] wore the double-faced coat backwards, wore a six-in-one melon skin hat, plastered his face, slouched his shoulders, leaned against the wall in front of the street and dozed off, silently waiting for the target to appear, Everything is gradually slipping into the track.

Half an hour later, Qiao Yan stood in front of the gate of a large courtyard, knocking lightly on the courtyard door three short and two long, while watching around vigilantly. After a while, the courtyard door opened, and Qiao Yan flashed inside. The courtyard door slammed shut tightly.

Outside the door, at the intersection, people come and go, bustling, there is no solitude at dusk, the slanting light of the setting sun lazily sprinkles on Yang Cao's shoulders, Yang Cao ignites a lady's holy ship a little tiredly, lazily using his right hand Between them, she gracefully exhaled a smoke ring and said softly, "It's good to be home."

Back in the bureau, Yang Cao sorted out all the materials at hand and began to sort them out.To be honest, there are too many materials in front of her, and there are so many things to know.The data retrieval system set up by the Computing Center in Guangzhou has helped them a lot, allowing them to use the "keyword" mode to search for various relevant materials at any time, but this kind of mechanical retrieval still requires a lot of manpower to organize and analyze

Although all related card systems have been made, at a glance, there are hundreds of index cards in all kinds of places.This relies heavily on the brainpower of the responsible officials.

Yang Cao realized that the existence of the Wu team had brought a qualitative change to the whole case.In the past, they only suspected the existence of the "Wu Squad", but this time it seems that this team not only exists, but also very careful.She thought of the counterfeit currency case that has been intensifying recently, and the clues of the mysterious medicine silver ingot "Sanjiangmao" reported by the police No. [-] section.

What are they doing together?Obviously, collecting "kunqing" is only part of it, otherwise it would be impossible to explain why they spent money to raise some "martial arts team".Yang Cao knows very well that the price of raising force is far from being comparable to hiring a few literati to copy.A team of hundreds of people gathered together, eating horse chews, eating and burning firewood for a day is a huge expense, not to mention the cost of monthly salary.

Even a wealthy family like the Liang family can't bear the cost of keeping private soldiers for a long time.The Loyalty Camp in Foshan was jointly raised by the big families in the whole castle.

It is obvious that the Liang family is not alone, and there may be quite a few local family members who have secretly connected with him, but these big families either do not live in Guangzhou, or the main members of the family are all in the countryside, and the limited powerful units of the Senate cannot monitor them. their anomalies
Thinking of this, Yang Cao's hairs stood on end.Under the rule of the Ming Dynasty, it is justifiable for these big households to raise militia Xiangyong and the like in partnership. What are they going to do with it now?
