Zhutian: Starting from the World of Martial Arts

Hearing what Lao Xing said, Li Xuan suddenly remembered the fleeting smell of blood he encountered yesterday, and couldn't help but frowned.

From the strong smell of blood and the danger he felt, this evil thief who is good at collecting and replenishing is definitely not an easy person to deal with.

Moreover, this evil thief is also good at disguise and light work, which can be said to be able to hide or run, no wonder he can be free for such a long time.

Just when Li Xuan was thinking about it, Captain Zhao and others also came out of the room, and Li Xuan, Lao Xing and others followed and left here together.

After Captain Zhao and Li Xuan returned to their base, Old Xing couldn't wait to ask:

"Boss, what did Captain Yang say? What do you brothers need to do?"

After hearing Old Xing's words, Captain Zhao rubbed the armrest of the chair and said solemnly:

"The defense zone has been assigned. We are responsible for the East District in the county. In the defense zone we are responsible for, in addition to strengthening patrols, the most important thing is to check every household. People without household registration must be strictly guarded and no suspects should be let go."

At this point, Captain Zhao looked at Li Xuan and specifically instructed:

"Li Xuan, Old Xing, your team is responsible for screening each household in the East District, Old Gao, your team is responsible for patrolling. If you encounter an emergency, fire flares as soon as possible. Do you understand?"

Hearing Captain Zhao's arrangement, Li Xuan and others immediately responded.

Seeing that everyone was serious, Captain Zhao's face relaxed a little. After instructing some things, he waved his hand to let Li Xuan and others go back.

Just when Li Xuan was about to go back, Lao Xing beside him patted his arm gently. When he looked at Lao Xing in confusion, Lao Xing whispered:

"Brother, Lao Bai is a good person. If you have any questions, ask Lao Bai more. Although his strength is not as strong as yours, he is experienced and knows how to arrange things."

After hearing Lao Xing's words, Li Xuan nodded at him and hurriedly walked towards his team.

While the Constable's Office was busy inside and outside, well-informed people in the county had received the news, and then the wind direction of the entire county changed. The number of people on the street became visibly less. Most of the people who could live in the county were cautious and would rather believe in gossip than not believe it.

So, when Li Xuan led the team to search door to door in the East District, the atmosphere in the entire county had become tense.

In order to look after each other, Li Xuan's team stayed close to Lao Xing's team. If they encountered any problems, they could look after each other.

However, it was unknown whether the evil thief was hiding too deep or had already run away. Li Xuan and others started patrolling in the morning. Apart from finding a few petty thieves who were caught and thrown into jail, they did not find any information about the evil thief.

It was noon soon. Li Xuan's team had just found the snack street. Although there were fewer people on the street due to the martial law in the county, those who made food relied on this business to support their families, so there were really many small shops.

After checking a few shops, Li Xuan also felt a little hungry. His stomach was growling, and it would take a long time for them to complete their task.

At this time, Li Xuan and others came to a snack bar selling tofu pudding and fried tofu, which made Li Xuan's eyes light up. After a quick glance, he shouted inside:

"Sister Yu, give us two bowls of tofu pudding each. I'll treat you today."

Yu's tofu pudding has a tender and smooth taste and a strong bean flavor. It is a specialty of Yunzhi County. Although the boss is taciturn, the boss's wife is a charming young woman. In addition, she is cheerful and generous, so many people like to come to her for a bowl of tofu pudding.

Hearing Li Xuan's call, the boss's wife, who was tidying up the pots and pans, also agreed cheerfully. While calling them, she served tofu pudding in a large bowl. Another reason why Yu's tofu pudding is so popular is that it is inexpensive and has a large portion.

Li Xuan sat down and asked the boss lady:

"Sister Yu, have any strangers come to your store these two days? We are catching a thief recently. If you find anything, please tell us."

Hearing Li Xuan's words, the boss lady paused, then lowered her head to work and said:

"Brother Li, the people who have come to our store recently are all acquaintances in the county. There are no strangers. If there are any, we will tell you."

During their conversation, the people in Li Xuan's team also sat down busily, and thisThe shop was half full, and Lao Bai sat opposite Li Xuan.

At this moment, Li Xuan suddenly smelled a faint smell of blood under the strong bean fragrance in the shop, which made Li Xuan's heart tighten and his nerves immediately tense.

After a calm glance, Li Xuan suddenly asked:

"Sister Yu, where is Brother Yu? Why don't I see him?"

Hearing Li Xuan's question, the boss's wife paused and continued:

"Old Yu is busy grinding beans inside. You also know Old Yu's character. You can't get anything out of him even if you hit him with three sticks, so I didn't let him come out to greet you."

Hearing the boss's wife's words, Li Xuan's heart moved and winked at Lao Bai opposite.

Seeing Li Xuan's expression, Lao Bai's heart tightened, and then he joined in:

"Boss lady, let Lao Yu come out quickly. Lao Yu may know something you don't know. It won't delay your business. We can just ask him."

Just when the boss lady wanted to say something, the curtain of the inner room was suddenly lifted, and Lao Yu wearing an apron came out, smiling as he came out:

"Gentlemen, I just finished my work inside. If you have anything to ask, just tell me."

Seeing Lao Yu come out intact, Lao Bai was obviously relieved, and Li Xuan opposite him didn't say anything, but looked at Lao Yu carefully.

As Lao Yu approached, the smell of blood that Li Xuan smelled became stronger, and there was also a sweet smell mixed in it, exactly the same as the smell he smelled yesterday.

Seeing that Li Xuan didn't speak, Lao Bai spoke up:

"Lao Yu, a thief recently came into our county, and we are investigating. Do you have any clues?"

Hearing Lao Bai's words, Lao Yu took the towel hanging around his neck and wiped the sweat on his forehead, and said with a reminiscing expression:

"I really didn't find any strangers. You know, our small business relies on the care of the villagers to survive. The people who come are basically familiar customers. If it was a stranger, my wife and I should have an impression of him."
