…Overtime dividing line 2…On Saturday and Sunday, you have to work overtime, so this progress…get it on Monday…

Generally speaking, rural land is not valuable and rarely build houses so close.

Why is this small village exception now?

Standing at a high place and observing, you will get the answer: This small village located in the valley has few places to build houses. Now that the insect market is prosperous and developed, the population in the village will inevitably increase. If you want to build a new house, you can only squeeze it.

But this directly leads to the extremely narrow road between the houses being built. After people walk in, they look up and can only see endless walls, alleys, intersections and portals, which are really like a maze.

I wandered around for a while and felt that everywhere I went, I seemed familiar, and it seemed like I was unfamiliar everywhere. How could I tell the difference between the east, south, west and north? In just one stick of incense, I secretly called for surrender and overturned the wall and escaped.

Even if you get lost when you walk in, how can you find someone?

I even began to wonder whether Ling Zexu was just lost between these houses and was trapped inside and unable to get out?

Of course it's a joke.

If you cannot see others, there may be three situations:

1. He entered a room here and then didn't come out again. As for why he didn't come out? He was killed, caught playing chess, forgot about time in chatting, and met a beautiful woman... There are so many possibilities, so I won't list them one by one.

Second, he found the prisoner's traces and left the village from other exits in order to track the prisoner.

3. He deliberately hid in order to make a joke.

What will happen?

Ling Zexu doesn’t look like a joker, so I eliminated the third one.

If it is the first case, I can't find it at all, so... I will temporarily remove it.

So the second situation remains.

Don't say that the possibility of the second situation is really higher than the other two.

Who is Ling Zexu? If the prisoner has really moved in this village, then he will probably not be able to hide his eyes.

Once a clue is found, Ling Zexu is not the kind of mother-in-law and mother who insists on getting involved in a companion to do things may be followed by the clues alone.

This is not very good.

There are at least ten masters on the other side. If they work together to siege, although Ling Zexu's martial arts are good, they may still be in danger.

Without further ado, I have to find him out quickly!

Thinking of this, I quickly walked around the village.

There are three entrances and exits in the village in total.

The most lively one is naturally the entrance of the village at the insect market.

But I came from there, and of course Ling Zexu never went there.

And the second entrance and exit is a mountain path.

This mountain path is where Ling Zexu and I entered the village; if there are any clues there, we should have discovered them when we came. Now, it is relatively unlikely to go back.

As for the third entrance and exit...

There is a small river beside the village. The river water is turbulent and unknown its depth. There are cliffs opposite the river. You can go north or south along the river bank.

The low-lying water where Ling Zexu and I followed was originated from this small river. Because there were cliffs blocking the way, we couldn't walk directly on the river bank, but we made a big circle.

From this we can see that when you walk south along the river bank, you will eventually return to the water, and there are various cliffs along the way.

Based on the above reasons, it can be roughly judged that Ling Zexu is likely to have walked north along the river bank.

Remember, it is 'very likely', not 'facts'.

Where did Ling Zexu really go? I have no way to confirm.

Since it is impossible to be sure, start from the direction with the greatest possibility and check it one by one.

I came to the river.

Since the river bank is mainly composed of giant rocks and pebbles, it is unlikely that there will be any footprints.

But this does not mean there is no trace left.

As long as you observe carefully, you can find pebbles that have been kicked apart, wet mud on the edges of the stones, and debris falling between the gaps... Every trace may be a clue left by the prisoner.

Listening to the rustling water, I squatted on the ground, identifying the many traces on the river bank bit by bit.

Distinguish one part, and walk another part.

Before I knew it, I walked up the river for half a mile.

I stopped my steps suddenly.

There seems to be something wrong?

I turned around and ran.

Back at the river bank next to the village, I walked straight to the pebbly tidal flat.

A little further forward, the river water soaked my upper.

I didn't stop, and continued to go deeper.

When I arrived at the center of the river, the river water had already flooded my chest.

Turn upstream.

This river channel is not flat, but deep and shallow, winding and twisting.

After walking up for more than ten steps, the river water disappeared across my chin.

I took a deep breath, my body sank, and I quickly touched the bottom of the water.

Hehehehe.

Although the light was dim, I clearly saw several large wooden boxes sinking steadily at the bottom of the water.

One by one, there are no more or less, there are exactly ten.

The illegitimate goods were found!

Why did I guess that the illustrator was hidden under the water?

Because of the water level.

Under the long-term erosion of the river water, the river bank will show various unique traces. Through these traces, we can analyze where the river water will rise and where it will retreat.

Everything has traces to follow.

Walking along the river bank, I mastered the rules of this trace.

But as I was walking just now, I suddenly remembered that there was such a section of river bank that did not conform to the law of water rising and falling.

What affects the flow of rivers?

Ten heavy large wooden boxes!

While discovering the erotic goods, another problem was solved - why no one in the village had seen anyone transporting bulk goods?

Bulk goods are hidden under the water.

In other words, those prisoners can leave without any attention without any attention.

I asked for information at the market before, but it was simply useless.

I guessed the matter about escorts.

Since I can guess correctly, what about Ling Zexu?

As a veteran of investigating cases, Ling Zexu's ability to observe various subtle traces is definitely much better than me, and he has no reason not to see it.

If he sees it, why not go find me?

We can imagine that after Ling Zexu found the erotic goods hidden under the water, he would inevitably think of prisoners leaving the market empty-handed.

In this case, he naturally had to go to the market to investigate and inquire.

Is it possible that I missed the road from the village to the market?

It's possible!

Didn't I doze off in the middle?

Although it was only a short time, I leaned under the tree. If Ling Zexu used his light skills to walk from a high place, or if he happened to be blocked by passers-by, he might not be able to see me, thinking that I was still in the market, so he went there directly.

If I didn't fall asleep, this wouldn't have happened.

Is this really the case?

If you want to know the truth, there is only one way.

Go to the insect market again.
