Pirate Song

Baoan Town is in the northwest of Daye County, about [-] miles away from Daye County. In order to track down the whereabouts of these gangsters, after discussing with Gao Huaiyuan, Xing Tutou and Gao Huaiyuan chose Baoan Town as the first stop.

In order not to startle the enemy, this time he listened to Gao Huaiyuan's advice, everyone disguised themselves as ordinary people or peddlers, and went on the road separately, looking for news along the way, while heading towards Baoan Town.

And Gao Huaiyuan was still dressed in his usual clothes, with Xue Yan by his side. He didn't look like a rich man, but more like a kid from a merchant who purchased goods. Anyway, Gao Huaiyuan was dressed like this a while ago, buying animal fats, etc. The raw material for making soap is just this outfit, and there is no special make-up, but the more he looks like this, the more real he looks. After all, he is not a headhunter. After arriving here, he is relatively low-key. There were not many, but Xing Tutou dressed up as a butcher and walked with Gao Huaiyuan. It really seemed like two shops were walking together.

This is his previous life experience. If you want to investigate and handle a case, you can't find any good clues if you wear a public uniform. Disguise is the basic skill.

And the reason why Xue Yan followed Gao Huaiyuan was because when Gao Huaiyuan left, Xue Yan followed him so resolutely without making a sound, no matter how Gao Huaiyuan reprimanded him, he didn't reply or agree, which made Gao Huaiyuan feel uncomfortable. The solution is to let him follow along, but I am still a little moved in my heart, knowing that Xue Yan is worried about his own safety, and then thinking about it, Xue Yan has also done this business before, so maybe he can help him this time. He was busy, so he was no longer forced to stay in the old house. Now there are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkeys are the king. Huang Yan, the monkey spirit, has become the boss of the Gao family's old house, and he can dominate for a few days.

As for those teenagers, Gao Huaiyuan certainly couldn't have them fully armed, carrying guns, knives, and bows and arrows to Bao'an Town. Before leaving, he asked them to put all their weapons in their cars, and they all changed Dressed in tattered clothes and dressed as homeless teenagers, they went on the road in groups of three or four. After arriving at Bao'an Town, they gathered at the Earth Temple in the east of the town. Along the way, they also cooperated with the headhunters to find out about the thieves.

These teenagers were all homeless before, so there is no need to worry about their appearance when doing this. Only Zhou Hao has never been a homeless, but his family is not a wealthy family. After hearing Gao Huaiyuan's order, everyone felt that Excited and novel, after all, they were still teenagers with childlike innocence, and thought this was a bit of fun, so after collecting some tattered clothes in the old house, they tore them up and made them even more tattered. Regardless of whether it fits the size or not, put it on your body, then go into the hearth and wipe the ashes on your face, and immediately return to the virtues before coming to Gao's house, and then find a piece of your original clothes. Cloth a bag, carried on the body, dragged the stick out of Gao's house, two groups of three people laughing and going towards Baoan Town, whoever said that they are not like little beggars, they are really gods !

Catcher Xing followed Gao Huaiyuan's suggestions like a follower, and he followed them all, and he admired Gao Huaiyuan's method very much. Feeling ashamed, he led a group of bluffing guards all the way to yell, even if he met a thief, the thief would have disappeared long ago. It's not that he doesn't know how to investigate cases in plain clothes, but that he is used to swaggering through the streets on weekdays. Well, doing that can only intimidate the local ruffians. After encountering such a thing, the usual behavior will become the reason for bad things.

So this time after Gao Huaiyuan asked them about the details of their investigation, he pointed them out, which made Catcher Xing and his gang feel a little embarrassed, so when they came out this time, they all restrained themselves, and according to Catcher Xing's instructions, After some dressing up, they went on their own way.

The reason why Gao Huaiyuan chooses Baoan Town as the first stop is not aimless, but has his reasons. There are two reasons. One is that Baoan Town is the place where gangsters first haunted, and Qianjiazhuang is in Baoan Town. Not far to the south, the second is that Baoan Town is not far from the Niangzi Lake where the two captives disappeared, so the gangster's lair is likely to be near Baoan Town, and the scope can be narrowed down, and it can even be said that it is likely to be in the Niangzi Lake area .

Moreover, judging from the areas where the gangsters committed crimes in the past, although these gangsters shot and changed places, they were not completely random. The number of crimes was the most, so after Gao Huaiyuan analyzed these situations, based on his previous experience and Xue Yan's help in the analysis, he finally concentrated the main suspects in the area west of Bao'an Town.

Along the way, Gao Huaiyuan was not in a hurry. Together with Xing Butou, we stopped and stopped, and when we came across a tea shed on the side of the road, we stopped and went in for a cup of tea. Or the old farmers chatted, and they also said something about the gangsters in Daye County during this period, which aroused people's discussion, and tried to get some news from their words.

But along the way, he found nothing. At most, he just heard some rumors. Gao Huaiyuan tried to dig out something from these rumors, but he had to give up in the end, because something happened to the common people. , After a period of word of mouth, it became a fairy tale.

Xing Butou didn't find anything, and the more he walked away, the more depressed he looked. You must know that he was under a lot of pressure. For this kind of thing, the above is to solve the case within a limited time. If the case cannot be solved within the specified time, then his If you finally got into the headhunter, don't think about doing it anymore.

"Brother Xing, don't worry. Those thugs are not gods after all. As long as they commit crimes, they will definitely leave clues. As long as we are patient, we will capture them in one fell swoop and eliminate harm for the people!" Gao Huaiyuan walked up The sullen Xing Butou was beside him, comforting him.

"Thank you, Young Master Gao. I'm just incompetent. Let the brothers spend all their time together. If I had followed your method, I would have captured these bandits long ago! Now I still have to work, Young Master Gao, to come out with us." , Xing is really ashamed!" Catcher Xing gave a wry smile and thanked Gao Huaiyuan.

"Brother Xing, why did you say that? It's Gao's job to eliminate harm for the people. Brother Xing doesn't have to be polite to me. It's my honor to help Brother Xing! Don't think too much about it, we'll come first Baoan Town, let's see what other people hear!" Gao Huaiyuan said politely.

The three of them drove the mule cart and started talking and laughing towards Baoan Town along the way. After Xing Butou was relieved by Gao Huaiyuan, he felt much better, and talked to Gao Huaiyuan about something he knew. The sophistication of the world allowed Gao Huaiyuan to gain a deeper understanding of some things in the officialdom.

When they reached Bao'an Town, they temporarily settled in an inn, and then Xing Butou and Gao Huaiyuan separately went to their own people to check the news.

After dark, Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Tutou met again in the inn, and after asking Xue Yan to guard the door outside, Gao Huaiyuan cupped his fists at Xing Tutou and said with a smile: "Congratulations, Brother Xing! Things seem to be getting better!"

Catcher Xing was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly asked: "What do you mean? The people over there didn't find anything!"

Gao Huaiyuan sat down, sat down, and began to talk while eating: "This is the benefit of being a teenager. Those of my teenagers in the nursery, dressed as beggars and walked all the way, no one would care about them, so they can inquire about them. The things that came out were much more than ours. The reason why this matter is said to be promising is mainly because two of them met two people in the south of the town. A lot of food, just leaving Baoan Town, heading towards Niangzi Lake.

Because they didn't pay attention to me, these two servants, they spoke a little out of control, and accidentally said something that shouldn't be said, what kind of young lady is there to have a vote outside after a few days? Let my people hear what they said, so they paid attention to them.

These two people are not from the local area, one of them covered his face with his head, after careful observation, he found that this person had tattoos on his face, which seemed to be a soldier, and both of them had something hidden on them, it didn't seem like something good, Guaranteed to have something to do with those thieves!

Now my people have quietly followed them. Tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, they will probably bring back news. Brother Xing should wait here for a day to see if the news they bring back is useful! "

Things are often so coincidental, because the people in Gao Huaiyuan are all teenagers dressed as beggars, so when most people talk, they don't care about them at all. As a result, when they first arrived in Baoan Town, they ran into those two people here. This guy, Gao Huaiyuan was surprised that things went smoothly.

After Xing Tutou heard about it, he was really overjoyed, so he thanked Gao Huaiyuan again and again. After they chatted for a while, they took a rest after eating without mentioning it.

He just waited in the inn for a full day. In the middle of the next night, Fei Wenlong brought a boy to the inn.

After Gao Huaiyuan heard a noise at the entrance of the inn, he immediately left the room and walked towards the door, only to see Fei Wenlong and another boy arguing with the inn's waiter.

It turned out that the waiter at the inn was about to close, but saw two beggars trying to break into their inn, so he reached out to stop them and wanted to drive them out of the inn, but Fei Wenlong quarreled with the waiter.

"Xiao Er! Don't embarrass them, they are here to find me, let them in!" Gao Huaiyuan immediately ordered to Xiao Er, and at the same time took out a few big money and stuffed it into Xiao Er's hands.

Seeing that someone responded, and seeing that although Gao Huaiyuan was young, he had an extraordinary bearing, and he won the reward, so he didn't fart, so he quickly stepped aside and let Fei Wenlong and him into the inn.

When Gao Huaiyuan brought Fei Wenlong and two back to the house, he closed the door, and Catcher Xing rushed over excitedly, and hurriedly asked: "This little brother, but you have already checked it out. ?"

Fei Wenlong also had a happy face, and quickly saluted Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Butou: "Congratulations Xing Butou, congratulations, master! As expected by the young master, these thieves are really hiding in the mountains near Niangzi Lake , and we have already found out their lair!"

Both Xing Butou and Gao Huaiyuan were overjoyed. The smooth progress of the matter made them feel a little unbelievable, as if listening to a storytelling.

"Tell me quickly, where are those thieves hiding? What's the specific situation?" Xing Butou was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked Fei Wenlong and the two of them.

"Let Li Ergou say that it is his credit for discovering the culprit this time, and he followed the culprit to find their lair last night!" Fei Wenlong pushed a young man behind him out.

This Li Ergou usually looks dull, he is the type who is not good at talking, it can be said that he is the master who can't stamp a fart with three feet, but he is the most hardworking person on weekdays. After pushing it out, he bowed to Gao Huaiyuan and said, "They are near Chenjiazui by Niangzi Lake. There are about [-] or [-] people. Be careful, there is a boat, and they are very cunning!"

Li Ergou spoke very simply, but he roughly explained the situation of the gang of thieves. Xing Butou and Gao Huaiyuan understood what he said, so they looked at each other and laughed.

After knowing the whereabouts of these thieves, things will be easy to handle, and it will be meaningless to stay in Baoan Town, so Gao Huaiyuan and Xing Butou questioned Li Ergou carefully, and found that these thieves are indeed They are all veterans, no wonder they couldn't be found. It turned out that this group of people usually hide in the mountains by the lake, and hide boats by the lake. They can escape by water at any time. They also left hidden stakes outside the yard. These guys are really cunning.

After figuring out these things, Catcher Xing couldn't sit still any longer, so after discussing with Gao Huaiyuan, he decided to go to Niangzi Lake overnight to check the situation there, wait for the opportunity to take down these thieves.

Gao Huaiyuan did not object, and settled the matter as soon as possible. He still had a lot of things to do, so he nodded and agreed. In the ruined temple in the east of the town, a group of teenagers such as Zhou Hao met, and rushed to the shore of Niangzi Lake overnight.

After daybreak, Xing Tutou, Gao Huaiyuan and his party went to the vicinity of Chenjiazui, the lair of thieves by Niangzi Lake. In order not to startle the snake, everyone hid in the reeds by the lake and watched Chenjiazui from a distance. The thief's old house in the hill.

After seeing the terrain here and the situation of the old house, Xing Tutou and Gao Huaiyuan both had some headaches. According to what Li Ergou said, there must be at least twenty or thirty of these thieves, and they hide in the house all day long. In the old house in the col, there is no way out, and this old house has a high wall surrounding the house, and it is impossible to see the situation inside. They cannot see how the thieves are arranged from the outside, and If they attack by force, this high wall will cause them a lot of trouble. If the opponent defends against the wall, it is likely to cause a lot of casualties to them.

And not far from the old house, there is a water bay. Once the thief is frightened and abandons the old house to escape, he can quickly run to the water's edge, board a boat and escape into the lake. The water surface is very large, and there are countless gullies for them to hide or escape. If they want to catch them at that time, I am afraid that even if they send 2000 soldiers and horses, they may not be able to catch them again. !

After careful observation, Gao Huaiyuan, with his keen eyesight, found that there were two or three people guarding the water bay. If he wanted to sneak outside the mansion, he would be spotted by these people, not including the hidden stakes they didn't find. Things are really tricky!

"Damn it! Let's just kill them. They are thieves and we are officials. They are the only ones who are afraid of us. Can we still be afraid of them? Hurry up and catch these thieves and avenge the third child!" Li Laoliu It's a reckless man. After seeing that he found the thief's lair, he couldn't help himself, and lowered his voice and said to Xing Butou.

"You are a pig! Let's kill them like this, not to mention that we can't catch them. If they also have bows and crossbows, we can't reach the gate, and they will shoot us into hedgehogs. If you want to die, you can't Let the brothers die like this together! Go away, let me think about it!" Xing Butou scolded Li Laoliu with a black line on his forehead.

After being scolded by him, Li Laoliu immediately shut up and squatted down obediently, sulking with a reed in his mouth.

Gao Huaiyuan smiled, did not speak, weaved a reed hat casually, put it on his head, and stretched out his head to look in the direction of the thief's lair.

"Otherwise, let's send people to Bao'an Town, find the local elders, and bring some strong men over. If there are more people, it will be easier to handle things. Now we don't have many people. Let's do it in the open, and the thieves are in the dark. , it’s hard to guarantee that you won’t suffer a loss!” At this time, Zhang Liang also opened his mouth to suggest to Xing Butou.

Xing Butou pondered for a while, his expression was a little nervous. They are all family members. If they die, although the county government will give some pensions, the pensions are far from enough to allow their families to live in peace and stability. After the rest of his life, he would be able to be more secure, but he still wanted to be more secure. After all, the work of arresting bandits usually looks awe-inspiring, and sometimes it can kill one's life at any time.

"I think this method is okay. It would be good to have more people come over to help. After all, this place is a bit easier to defend and harder to attack. We do have a little less manpower, and we don't know if the thieves have any tough ones." Zhazi, otherwise, Zhang Liang, you can go to Baoan Town and ask the elders to call some folks to help!" Xing Butou felt a little active in his heart.

"Not right..." Gao Huaiyuan said suddenly.
