The situation was critical, and Zhan Li suddenly stepped back and pushed away Zhu Qingsheng and Mei Shinan from both sides, and went up to fight with Zhong Shuidan. Unexpectedly, the woods were extremely dark, and weeds and trees were distributed randomly. With Zhan Li pushed him hard, Mei Shinan flew out three or four feet away and hung directly on the tree.

This is also a coincidence. A branch was raised high, and a hole was broken from the clothes on Mei Shidao's waist, and it was directly inserted into the collar of the neck behind. Mei Shidao was stunned and hung on the tree.

Mei Shinan complained and turned her hand to break the branch. First, it was because it was difficult to use force on her back. Second, it was because the branch was too hard and could not break it. Third, it was because he looked at the darkness below and couldn't see clearly. I don't know how high it was. If it fell like this, I might fall some stone or weeds, and that wouldn't be a joke.

So after struggling for a while, the plum blossoms still hang on the tree and don’t move.

If Zhu Qingsheng was hanging here, he would definitely clamp the branch back with his feet, then hold the branch with one hand, and the other fingertips poured into the true power, breaking the clothes behind him bit by bit, and then breaking away from the constraints, and then slowly climb down the trunk along the tree.

But Mei didn't know any martial arts skills, and she couldn't do anything to respond to the emergency. She could only hang on the tree with a bitter face, and didn't know whether it was thankful or angry with Zhan Li.

A sound of footsteps came in the darkness. Mei Shinan was overjoyed. She thought that Zhu Qingsheng or Zhan Li had arrived and she could finally go down. But when she heard it carefully, the footsteps were very messy, as if there were seven or eight people walking together. Mei Shinan was shocked. Could it be those constables?

Looking back, there was no light in the night, and only the cluttered footsteps were heard. Why did the constables not turrets? They were also afraid that they would lead the woods and make a roast together. As expected, one person said, "Boss, I said there is no need to do this. Including you, including Head Chen, and our brothers, there are 34 total people. The yamen included the ones who were later supplemented. There were only these people, but they all came here. What's the use of it?"

One person said lightly: "The superior told us that we can just do things, and we can do whatever we do."

Mei Shinan almost shouted out in shock. The person who was talking behind was Captain Yu who had an affair with the county magistrate's concubine last night. Unexpectedly, he came too. Could it be that the county magistrate didn't notice it?

The previous constable said, "But, don't you feel too frustrated? In the past, Lord Zhou ordered us to do this and that. Although we were tiring in work, we always had a head. This time, we didn't say a word, so we came here on a boat. It was midnight. What does this mean?"

Captain Yu shouted sternly: "Zhang Lu, why are you talking about? What do you say about Lord Zhong? What should we do? Besides, those three father-in-laws are all dead here. If we don't find out clearly, how can we get a job with Lord Zhou?"

The detective named Zhang Lu remained silent after hearing this and stopped talking.

Mei Shinan was shocked. How did they know that the three Yin people died here? Hearing that they were getting closer, they hurriedly covered their noses and mouths, and they didn't dare to move.

I heard Captain Yu slowly say, "I know that my brothers came here in the middle of the night, searching for people and looking for things, so I couldn't help but feel tired and dissatisfied. But those who eat our bowl of rice have to listen to the arrangements, not to mention that there are three father-in-laws who die here. If we don't investigate clearly and get angry in the palace, it's not something we can bear."

He heard another man say, "Boss, I heard that this kind of thing happened in Jiujiang. He even died for more than 40 times in a month. That was miserable. He died inexplicably and had no wounds left. But he just couldn't find the murderer. The brothers there were almost crazy. I guess, this hurt these three father-in-law and the murderer there might be the same person."

Captain Yu said, "I have heard of this, I think the murderer is too cunning and has not been discovered. Okay, brothers, cheer up. After doing this, I will ask everyone for rewards when I go back."

Everyone laughed and said, "thank you, thank you."

Captain Yu said: "It's just one thing, everyone must do their best tonight and not lose the face of our Wuning County constable."

"That's right!" the detectives said solemnly.

Speaking of this, I happened to walk below the plum blossoms. The highest distance is only two feet away. The breeze that drives blows on the plum blossoms. The plum blossoms are so heartbroken that they are in their throats and they dare not even breathe.

Mei Shinan was extremely nervous, and suddenly Park Dao on her waist moved, followed by someone below and cried out in pain: "Oh, my eyes, this branch is really the leader."

Someone next to him laughed and said, "Who told you to help the tree? Wouldn't you be beaten?"

Mei Shinan thought she would be discovered, but she didn't expect that the detective recognized it as a branch. It was really good. Just as she was relieved, she suddenly heard the man say, "Damn it, it's all my fault. I saw that I hit it." Then Park Dao felt a strong force coming from his waist, and Park Dao slid out of his waist and fell down.

The laughter of the man who had just laughed stopped abruptly and suddenly shouted in pain: "Zhao Liangfan, be careful, you have hit the branches on my head."

Captain Yu said, "Don't make trouble, go quickly."

The beating detective said, "Yes, this is...oh, this branch is wrong." With a "swish", it seemed that some knife was unsheathed.

Mei Shinan's heart sank, but they still discovered it.

The detective shouted, "I said, everyone, whose knife fell off? Be careful when you take it."

"No."

"Mine is still here."

"My knife is fine."

...

A chaotic sound rang out, and they all said that their swords had not fallen. Suddenly, Captain Yu said, "Everyone, be quiet, old man, you can pull the knife you just now."

All the constables immediately became quiet, not knowing what the boss meant.

"Yes," the detective pulled out as he said, and heard a "swish" sound. Captain Yu immediately said, "The sound of this knife is wrong. It doesn't look like our knife. Qiliangzi." Qiliangzi means lighting. People often have some taboos when doing things, such as weaving cloth cannot say fire, and rowing can't say down. When doing these things, they will change the statement, such as lighting the fire and selling the things.

Mei Shinan's heart was beating wildly, and the blood in her body seemed to have solidified, and she didn't dare to move at all.

A detective quickly caught a fire and the fire shone through. When the detectives saw that the knife was indeed not his own, they couldn't help but admire him: "It's better to have a head and ear, so I can hear it."

Captain Yu said, "Don't praise it for now, think about how this knife came about?"

Yes, how did this knife come about? The detectives thought of this and glanced around. One of the detectives raised his head inadvertently and suddenly found that there was a person hanging on it. He was shocked.

Mei Shinan forced a smile: "Hello you guys."
