Chapter 205 New Clues
Lady Ye Xiang was brought over, facing this group of nobles, she curled up, as if in this way she could hide the smell on her body that might cause the nobles to dislike.

"Tell me what you said to me just now." Chen San ordered without talking nonsense.

"Yes... yes." The woman was obviously nervous, but she did not dare to be slow in replying, "I met that man half... half a month ago when I got up to collect Yexiang. He was frighteningly thin and frighteningly white. The person who said it is very similar."

"Where did you meet?" Mei Xingzhi asked.

"Come... at the gate of Laifu Inn." Ye Xiangfu said, "I was waiting outside the inn to collect the incense sticks, and saw him go in."

He still dares to live in a hotel?This was beyond Fourteen's expectations.

But a clue is better than no clue.

"Take us there!"

Chen San personally followed, and the group came to the Laifu Inn that Ye Xiangfu said.

After seeing Laifu Inn, Shisi understood why the thief chose to live here.

The building in front of me is barely a two-story building, located on the outskirts of the slums, the steps in front of the door are covered with weeds, and the wooden board with the words "Laifu Inn" is lying on it vertically It looks more like a plaque than a tombstone.

The door of the inn is closed, but it does not prevent people from entering and exiting, because a large piece of wood is missing from one door, the diameter is about the same as Xiaoyan's height.The paper on every window pane is torn, and the furnishings in the lobby can be seen at a glance—there is only one long table that can barely be regarded as the counter.

There was a soybean oil lamp on the long table, and the shopkeeper propped his head on the table, drowsy.

Here, it is more like a ruined temple.

"Shopkeeper, I have a question." Chen San pushed the door, and the wooden door, which was already crumbling, fell off as soon as his hand touched it.

"boom!"

"Who!? Who! What... what's wrong?" The shopkeeper jumped up from behind the long table.

"Chen... Master Chen!" With the faint light of the soybean oil lamp, he saw clearly Chen San who stepped in first, and hurriedly walked out from behind the long table, bowing again and again, "Master Chen, why is the wind blowing you?" Here you come? What's the use of looking for the younger ones? If you say a word, the younger ones will count..."

"Don't talk so much nonsense." Chen San said in a rough voice, "I'm looking for you to find someone."

"Say it, say it!" The shopkeeper didn't dare to say more.

"Xiao... Mrs. Xiao." Chen San turned his head, his attitude changed 180 degrees, "you can ask."

In a corner that no one was paying attention to, Ye Xiangfu raised her head tremblingly: "Big... the big head is this little devil's upper body?"

She has been working under Chen San for three or four years, and the tone of that sentence almost made her feel that she was hallucinating.

With the same mood as her, there was the innkeeper standing in front of Chen San, and his subordinates who couldn't follow in because the inn lobby was too small.

Even Mei Xingzhi glanced at Chen San with some attention, and then came back to his senses, now is not the time to settle his curiosity.

Only Shisi was not familiar with Chen San, and because he was devoted to saving people, he didn't think there was anything unusual about it.

She opened her mouth to speak: "We are looking for a person who is as thin as a bamboo pole, with a pale and bloodless complexion. Someone saw him enter your inn."

"What are you looking at me for?" Seeing the shopkeeper, he didn't answer Fourteen directly, but looked at himself first. Chen San felt that this person had no wink, "Return to Mrs. Xiao's words."

"Yes, yes... There was such a person." Anyone with such obvious characteristics will remember it clearly.

"Is he still here now?"

"It's gone, I'm leaving early."

Fourteen was not disappointed with the expected answer: "When did you leave? Do you know where you went?"

"The man only stayed in the shop for one night, and left the next morning after paying the rent." The shopkeeper didn't dare to slack off, "The little one only charged him five cents for the rent, and nothing else. I don’t know, I didn’t even say a few words.”

At noon the next day, based on the time Ye Xiangfu said, the first girl disappeared that day. It seems that she had a rest after entering the city and started committing crimes the next day.

"Then have you ever heard what he said?" Mei Xingzhi asked, "Recall carefully, everything is in detail, and what comes to mind is what you say."

"No...no, really not." The shopkeeper was about to cry, "It's not that the little one didn't want to contribute, it's because he really remembered clearly that the man never said a word to the little one from the time he entered the inn to when he left the inn."

Everyone couldn't help being disappointed for a while. They thought they had found a clue, but when they found it, they found that it was broken.

"The master! The master!"

When the group was about to leave Laifu Inn, one of Chen San's subordinates ran towards them shouting.

"Howling for what?" Chen San's voice was rough, not angry and pretentious.

"Master, we have another clue!" The visitor immediately lowered his voice.

"What?" Chen San's voice went up, "What clue? Where is it?"

"Someone said that they saw that man outside the city." The visitor panted a little because he ran in a hurry, "I just left the north city gate, and walked west after seeing him out of the city."

"Outside the city!" Fourteen's eyes lit up, "Let's look outside the city!"

"The people from the government have almost searched the entire county, but they still haven't found it. It may be that he is hiding well, but it is more likely that he is not in the county at all!"

"The place outside the city is huge, where do we go to find it?" Chen San frowned, "There are many people in the county town, and there are many eyeliners. But once you leave the city, it's really no different from a blind man with your eyes open."

"It's not blind." Mei Xingzhi said, "Didn't the people who saw him leave the city say that he left the city and went west?"

"To the west? To the west is the mountain. Did he escape to the mountain?" Chen San was puzzled.

"It's not about escaping, he might just live there." Fourteen looked at Mei Xingzhi, "Now that the city gate is closed, is there a way for you to get out of the city?"

"Yes." Mei Xingzhi nodded sharply, "Come with me."

"Hey, come and wait for me!" Seeing Shisi and Mei Xingzhi ignored him, he strode away, and Chen San chased after him, "Mei Xingzhi, crossing the river and tearing down the bridge is not as fast as you, right? You left without even saying thank you?"

The narrow alleys can't run horses at all.So Mei Xingzhi and Shisi's horses were led by Chen San's men to the yard they had been to before and fed.

The two walked as fast as the wind was blowing under their feet. Chen San chased after more than ten steps before catching up: "Where are you going? I will go with you."

"How many people should I bring? I'll get them together right away."

"It's night now, and it's easy to scare the snake when there are too many people." Fourteen said, "Young Master Mei and I will go there."

"Then I won't take anyone with me, I'll go with you by myself."

Mei Xingzhi glanced at Chen San.

Fourteen made no objection.

Mei Xingzhi opened his mouth, but did not object.

So Chen San followed logically.

The three of them led their horses, walked out of the narrow alley, and rode their horses to the Huangliang County Government Office.

Because of the governor's personal order, the people in the county government of Huangliang County are spending their second sleepless night.The entire yamen was brightly lit, and after revealing his identity, Mei Xingzhi led the people in without hindrance.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, the county magistrate trotted over to greet him, followed by several staff members.Except for the two guards at the gate, I didn't see any other yamen servants, because they all went out to find someone.

"Master Mei, why are you here at this hour?"

The polite appearance of the county magistrate will make people who don't know that Mei Xingzhi is an official and he is a citizen.
