Chapter 43 Qu Ho As Wang Ge judged, even if Tang Jian invited Qu Zhutou from the Taiyuan Mansion Yamen and brought his well-trained tracking dog, he still didn't find any clues.Not to mention finding the location where the people escaped, and even the route that the snitch left after stealing something, the two tracking dogs that were quite famous in Taiyuan City were just spinning around like headless flies outside the "Tianxiang Pavilion".Qu Zhutou thought that there might be a problem with the smell source given by Tang Jian, but Tang Jian felt that his dog was too rubbish, and it was inevitable that he was a little rude in his words, and both sides were holding back their anger.If it weren't for Gao Laoqi and Huangfu Yuan in the middle of the adjustment, he would have thrown his sleeves and left, and no matter how much the Tang Sect has a status in the rivers and lakes, it is also a sect in Shuzhong, and he can't control him as a Taiyuan head catcher.However, although the fire was suppressed, it was really difficult for him to mention much enthusiasm for this matter.Tracking dogs are not omnipotent, their role in densely populated cities is much smaller than in the wild, and it takes a lot of manpower and a certain amount of luck to catch criminals and find lost objects, in addition to having a reliable source of smell.If the snitch had stolen something, he had fled directly through light skills, and had even left the city, so it would be basically difficult to track down his whereabouts now.However, normally speaking, it has not been more than twelve hours, as long as the source of the smell is not wrong, there should still be some traces within the range of the "Mercy Flower Building", at least you can know which route the snitch left from after stealing something.But the strange thing is that the two tracking dogs that Qu Ho relies on the most have no reaction.Although Tang Jian's tone was unpleasant, Qu Hao also directly questioned the problem of the source of smell, but after observing inside and outside the room of the "Tianxiang Pavilion", he saw the small hole in the window paper, and knew that the snitch must have been there for a while, and the source of the smell should be right.And using Tang Jian's clothes as a source of smell, trying to use Tang Jian's lost things as a tracking target, it was also unsuccessful.Qu Ho has been raising and training tracker dogs for more than 20 years, and his tracker dogs are far superior to other hunting dogs, whether it is hunting in the wild or catching murderers in the city.Even if he tracks the tigers, leopards and bears, he will not show his timidity, as long as he gives an order, there will be a flood of fierce beasts in front of him, and they will rush to bite and bite them.But inside and outside this "Tianxiang Pavilion", Qu Hao has a vague feeling that his two tracking dogs, "Feixue" and "Black Moon", seem to have a sense of "fear" for certain areas around them, this fear is not like seeing a large beast or perceiving murderous aura, but like touching flames, touching the tip of a knife, approaching a cliff and other almost instinctive reaction of "fear".None of them seem to be willing to search certain areas, as if those areas had flames or blades.The source of smell provided by Tang Jian and its surrounding area are among them.And after entering the range of "Lianhualou", the two tracking dogs have been wilting, unable to keep their spirits up, and seem to be trembling.Qu Ho has never encountered this situation, he first suspected that the two tracking dogs were sick, but then out of the "Lianhualou", on the way back, the two goods recovered again, jumping and jumping, let him realize that the problem is not in the dog, but in the "Lianhualou".Qu Hao had heard that those grandmaster-level powerhouses, whose breath hooked heaven and earth, not only suppressed people, but also had a strong impact on animals with strong spiritual senses such as cats and dogs.But since the snitch used the incense to knock people unconscious, it was impossible for him to be a grandmaster-level master.But other than that, he really couldn't think of why his two well-trained tracking dogs suddenly behaved like that.Originally, he was afraid of this case because of Gao Laoqi's face, and he just did his best in the past, but after being viciously spoken by Tang Jian, he had already made up his mind and didn't want to care about it.But at this time, he couldn't help but be curious about this case, what was the origin of the snitch, and how could he make his tracking dog fail?
In "Lianhua Building" and "Tianxiang Pavilion", Tang Jian was still in the room last night, walking around anxiously.In addition to him, Huang Fuyuan and Gao Laoqi were there, and there was a middle-aged man with a big dark red birthmark on his face who was checking around."
Tang Gongzi don't be impatient, since the thief wants to use something that is not in the flow like incense, it can be seen that he is not a powerful character, and he will not fly away, and there is no trace at all.As long as he is still in Taiyuan City, he can find out sooner or later. ”Gao Laoqi smiled and comforted.Tang Jian was still frowning: "Then what if the thief has already gone out of the city with something?"
”"As long as you can find out the identity of the thief, with the power of the Tang Sect, are you afraid that you won't be able to find anyone?"
Gao Laoqi said, and asked the middle-aged man who was sticking his face to the edge of the windowsill to check something carefully: "Lao Hong, what's wrong, do you see anything?"
”This middle-aged man with a yin and yang face, Lao Hong, is a highly-paid escort hired by Gao Laoqi, and he used to be a Jiangyang thief, and there are more than a dozen men with good skills under his hands, doing robbery and captivity.Later, he ran into a hard idea and was wiped out, so he had half his life left and escaped.He was familiar with Gao Laoqi before, so he came to the door to defect.This Lao Hong was originally a second-rate master, but after being seriously injured, he stopped eight times in ten of his kung fu, and now he can only crane the tail of the third-rate.If you want to say that you can fight, the guards that Gao Laoqi paid for can find a bunch of ones that can fight better than him, and even Gao Laoqi's skills may not be worse than him.But Gao Laoqi still values Lao Hong very much, not only gives him a high salary, but also has the highest status in his escort entourage, and what he values is his rich experience in the rivers and lakes, connections and eyesight.Compared with the headcatcher Qu Ho, Lao Hong may be better in some things.More importantly, as Gao Laoqi's person, he also needs to be more reliable and trusting, and if there are some things that are not good to say to Qu Hao, you can tell him.Lao Hong turned his head and saluted Gao Lao Qi, and then while thinking sideways, he said slowly: "The two girls have woken up just now, and I went to visit with the doctor invited by the 'Lianhualou', judging from their situation and Tang Gongzi's description, that incense is definitely not 'Drunken Soul Incense', at least not our common 'Drunken Soul Incense'."
But I can't say what it is, and I'll ask the masters who are good at using poison in the rivers and lakes when I go back.However, since it can have a strong taste comparable to 'drunken soul incense', it will not be such a rare and high-end incense. ”Lao Hong paused slightly, and continued: "Judging from the way and method of choosing to infiltrate, this thief doesn't look like a thief, nor does he look like a master.But he left almost no traces in the house, and when he left, even the footprints on the windowsill were swept away, and he was a cautious and experienced person.Only Tang Gongzi was stolen from the entire 'Lianhua Building', obviously coming for Tang Gongzi. ”Gao Laoqi saw Tang Jian's brows frowning slightly, as if he was a little impatient, so he asked, "So what?"
Lao Hong, what is your conclusion, is there a way to deduce the identity of the thief?
”Lao Hong said respectfully: "That thief should know Tang Gongzi very well, whether it is kung fu or personality, Tang Gongzi will be caught in the incense of the Tao, I'm afraid it may not be luck, it is likely that everything is expected by the thief." ”Hearing this, Tang Jian's eyes lit up, this Lao Hong's meaning couldn't be clearer, and it was also in line with the guess he had told Huang Fuyuan before - it was a framing from within the Tang Sect!
It's the secret hand and poisonous plan of the fourth and sixth uncles who have always had opinions about him!
When he looked at Lao Hong again, Tang Jian's eyes were already a little more admired, Lao Jianghu deserved to be Lao Jianghu, much more reliable than the one who raised a dog for the Yamen."
Is there a way for Brother Hong to find out the identity of the thief and recover my things?"
Tang Jian now almost regards this middle-aged man with a yin and yang face as his last straw.Gao Laoqi also said: "Lao Hong, Tang Gongzi and the second young master are good brothers, his business is my business, you don't have to do it well." ”"Yes, sir."
Lao Hong first saluted Gao Lao Qi, and then said to Tang Jian: "The thief should be a foreigner, and the Shu people are more likely, since they are coming to Tang Gongzi, then they should not live too far away from Tang Gongzi, they may live near the 'Lianhua Building', or even in the 'Lianhua Building'."
Only do a secret investigation in the 'Lianhua Building' and the vicinity, and you should be able to gain something.If the thief had already left the city during the day after getting the things, as long as he knew the direction he left, he could estimate the place where he would probably stay tonight, and send men to chase after him with one man and two horses, and he should be able to catch up. ”"It must have gone west!"
Tang Jian said with certainty, "Brother Hong, Brother Gao, Brother Huangfu, I'll take someone to chase after me, and I'll leave it to you in the city!"
”It seems that he has decided that the thief is carrying his things and is going all the way to Shuzhong."
Brother Xian, don't worry, if the thief hasn't left the city yet, won't you run in vain?
Besides, if you go out of the city at this time, what will happen to the 'Little Alliance', Brother Xian, you represent the Tang Sect. ”Huang Fuyuan was dissuaded."
Yes, Tang Gongzi, you can stay in the city with peace of mind, and I will send reliable people to chase after me."
Gao Laoqi also persuaded.Tang Jian couldn't take care of the "Little Alliance" at this time, but he also understood that Huang Fuyuan was going to participate in the "Little Alliance", and this time he invited himself to Taiyuan, a very important reason was also the "Little Alliance".Gao Lao Qi would be willing to spend a lot of effort to help him, naturally for the sake of Huangfu Yuan's face, so even if Tang Jian felt that it was more likely that the thief had left, he could only stay in the city.
