Chapter 92 Tracking

At this time, it was almost dusk. Duan Rong first went to the street and went to the clothing store to pick out a loose dark blue coarse cloth clothes for himself.

By the way, he also bought a dark headscarf and a pair of black satin cloth boots.

These cloth boots are very similar to the cloth boots worn by the constables to match their official uniforms. Duan Rong picked them specially.

Then, Duan Rong went to the weapons shop to change his oxtail knife to a dark blue scabbard.

Then, he went to the grocery store and bought a dark red mask used for worshiping gods!

Duan Rong returned to the dormitory and first used ink to paint the dark red mask black and dried it by the bed.

Then Duan Rong put the prepared things into a bundle, walked out of Yuanshun Escort Agency, and returned to his dilapidated house!

As soon as Duan Rong entered the room, he took off his brown shorts and changed into dark blue coarse cloth clothes!

Then he changed the scabbard of the oxtail knife. The color of the new scabbard was very similar to his clothes. If you didn't look carefully, you couldn't tell that Duan Rong had a new knife.

Duan Rong put on his boots and put his mask and headscarf into the loose inner pocket of his chest.

When dusk fell, Duan Rong seemed to have changed into a different person. He walked out of his courtyard and the quiet alley where he was.

Duan Rong pretended to walk leisurely on the street. Although his heart was tense, his movements did not show any tension.

Duan Rong came to the second floor of a restaurant and sat down at a seat by the window.

People were in a panic these two days, and the restaurant's business was not much better. Seeing that it was already dinner time, there were only a few people on the second floor of the restaurant.

The waiter in this restaurant was not as busy as usual. Seeing Duan Rong sitting down, he came over and asked with a smile: "Sir, what do you want to order?"

"A pot of strong tea, a plate of peanuts, a plate of braised beef, and two steamed buns." Duan Rong said in a calm tone, but his eyes were always looking out the window.

"Okay, waiter, wait a moment!" The waiter turned around and went downstairs to prepare the dishes, but he was a little strange when he turned around. Seeing that it was almost evening, he still wanted to drink strong tea. This person probably didn't want to sleep, right?

The reason why Duan Rong chose this restaurant is that this restaurant is right in the middle of West Street, the county government office and the dungeon.

At this location, looking down from the window, you can just see the entrance of the county government office and the dungeon.

Duan Rong didn't want hot dishes, and soon the waiter put the dishes in front of Duan Rong on a tray. "Sir, the dishes are ready, please enjoy!"

Duan Rong poured himself a bowl of dark and strong tea, suppressed the bitterness, and poured it into his throat.

His eyes never left the street downstairs, and kept sweeping across the entrance of the county government office and the dungeon.

The two-day and one-night citywide manhunt has ended!

The carpet-style investigation has not yielded any results. Even now, it is still unclear who kidnapped Xu Ruhu, and there is no suspicious target.

Shen Yanliu had returned to Xiangu County around 3 p.m.

On the way back, he had already received the news that Xu Ruhu had been robbed from prison.

When he returned to the county government office, he heard that the two-day and one-night citywide manhunt had not yielded any results, and he was immediately furious, and scolded Jie Daohan on the spot!

Fan Yuanhai just smiled lightly on the side, as if it had nothing to do with him. Although he came for Xu Ruhu's case, he had been robbed from prison before he arrived. The responsibility was all on the Xiangu County Office, and had nothing to do with him.

Shen Yanliu immediately ordered the clerks and attendants of the county government office to organize some of the main responsible persons and hold a meeting overnight to discuss the next plan to solve the case!

Although Yang Zhen was injured, he was invited to come. After all, he was the person involved and had personally fought with the jailbreakers!

As the main person in charge of guarding Xu Ruhu and one of the persons in charge of the city-wide search operation, Xie Lei naturally had to attend the meeting.

The meeting was almost midnight.

The night watchman's drum had been beaten several times!

The restaurant had already closed!

Duan Rong had to leave. He hid in the shadow of an alley and continued to stare at the entrance of the county government and the dungeon.

Although he drank a large pot of strong tea, Duan Rong still yawned at his usual sleeping time.

At this moment, there was a commotion at the entrance of the county government, and people were shaking in the shadow of the lights.

Duan Rong stood sideways in the shadow of the alley, staring at the entrance of the county government.

A group of people dispersed sparsely, some yawning, and some cursing!

Duan Rong also saw Yang Zhen. Yang Zhen was injured, and he didn't use crutches. He just dragged one foot and went west...

After two days and one night of large-scale search, the constables and yamen runners in the yamen had not rested for a moment, and they were already tired and black-eyed!

Even if there was a plan for the next step, they had to go back and sleep before doing it. What's more, after several hours of meetings, there was no agreed action plan at all. Shen Yanliu was always cursing!

Everyone thought this case was weird, and slowly, some rumors were spread...

Duan Rong hid in the shadows, staring at a person in the crowd, not daring to relax at all!

Xie Lei greeted a few people at the gate of the county government, and patted Yang Zhen on the shoulder, then left to the east, walked a distance, and turned into an alley.

In the shadow at the entrance of the alley, Duan Rong immediately took out a headscarf and put it on his head, and then put on a mask. The whole person instantly merged into the night!

He used the Cloud Snake Steps to track the direction of Jie Lei...

It was already midnight, no one was around, and it was pitch black and silent.

Duan Rong only listened to the footsteps and would not lose them. He stood against the wall in the dark, using the dim light of the stars and the moon to identify Jie Lei's back.

Duan Rong looked at Jie Lei and entered a courtyard.

No mistake, one sentence, one post, one content, one 6, one book, one bar!

The courtyard was in a small alley, quite remote!

"The nephew of Captain Jie actually lives in such a remote and dilapidated courtyard. If you say you have no secrets, I'm afraid no one will believe you!"

Duan Rong stood in the shadow at the entrance of the alley, thinking to himself.

After Jie Lei entered the courtyard for a few breaths, Duan Rong's figure was erratic, stepping on the ground silently, like a ghost, and stopped beside a sycamore tree outside the corner of Jie Lei's courtyard.

The sycamore tree was quite tall, with lush branches and leaves. Under the tree was a large bluestone with worn edges and corners. It seemed to be a place where the neighbors nearby usually cool off.

Duan Rong tapped his toes on the bluestone, and climbed up the tree trunk like a wild cat. Duan Rong stood at the intersection of the tree trunks, looking at Jie Lei's courtyard through the gaps between the branches and leaves.

The lush branches and leaves of the sycamore tree made his figure, which was almost integrated with the night, even more secretive.

Duan Rong looked at the courtyard through the eye holes on the mask.

Under the dim light of the stars and the moon, it can be seen that the courtyard is very clean and there is almost no debris.

The main room and the east and west inner rooms, three blue brick and tile houses, facing north and south.

On the east side are two side rooms, which should be the utility room and kitchen.

At this time, the main room was dark and there was no light, but on the window paper of the east inner room, there was a bright yellow, and a figure was reflected on the window paper.

No one spoke, and there was no other sound.

"Could this person live alone?" Duan Rong thought to himself, "It's fine for losers like Yang Zhen and me to live alone. But why do you live alone? Don't you hire a servant to do chores? Or are you afraid of leaking too many secrets?"

Just then, the figure on the window paper flashed, and Jie Lei walked out of the main room and stood in the yard, and his eyes were actually staring at the sycamore tree where Duan Rong was hiding!

Duan Rong's heart skipped a beat, and his muscles suddenly tensed. "Is it exposed?"
