Sheng An Ning was holding Mo Mo, and before she could say anything, Zhou Shixun had already turned around and walked out of the yard, quickly disappearing at the gate.
Momo hugged his mother's neck with one hand and held his little pillow with the other. He looked sleepy and blinked hard as he watched his father leave: "Mom, Momo is sleepy. Momo wants to sleep."
Sheng An Ning didn't have time to think about it and quickly carried Mo Mo back to the house.
Zhou Shixun walked out of the gate and headed straight for Bailong Temple.
Bailong Temple is still under renovation. It is blocked off from the outside with worn wooden boards and the inside is in a mess. Many halls are still being repainted and the air is filled with the smell of paint.
Zhou Shixun entered through the gap in the wooden board. There was no light inside, and because of the towering ancient trees, it was pitch dark.
The owls in the trees hooted from time to time, and the entire Taoist temple became somewhat eerie and scary.
Zhou Shixun stood with his hands behind his back beside the ancient tree, glanced at the quiet houses around him, and walked towards a room in the corner of the side hall.
The steps were slow, and each step made a sound.
When he reached the door of the side hall, he did not rush to push it open. Instead, he looked around and paused for a moment.
In this moment of pause, I heard a slight sound and heavy breathing in the room.
Zhou Shixun still didn't move, waiting patiently for the people in the room to come out.
When it comes to patience, the people in the room are naturally no match for the professionally trained Zhou Shixun. They can't even hear the breathing outside the room, and the air suddenly becomes silent.
I don’t know how long it was before the person in the house couldn’t help it anymore. He walked to the door carefully and looked out through the crack, trying to see something, but found nothing.
With a creak, the door opened a little. I carefully peeked out and saw Zhou Shixun standing tall at the door.
Li Ergeng was startled and took several steps back, trying to close the door quickly, but he was a step too slow and was held open by Zhou Shixun.
"You...what are you doing?"
Because it was dark, Li Ergeng couldn't see what Zhou Shixun looked like.
Zhou Shixun took a step closer and said in a cold tone: "Li Ergeng, you are so brave that you dare to hide in the city."
When Zhou Shixun picked up Li Ergeng and threw him in front of Zhou Luancheng, Zhou Luancheng was also surprised.
"Where did you find it? We've been looking for it for so long, but we haven't found any trace of it."
"White Dragon Temple."
Zhou Luancheng was even more surprised: "Bailong Temple? We have looked for him several times, but there is no trace of him. Besides, Bailong Temple is under renovation recently, and there are workers working every day. How could he hide in there?"
Zhou Shixun glanced at Li Ergeng who was hiding in the corner and not saying anything: "You should ask him about this."
Li Ergeng was still the same as before, hunched over, looking old, but his eyes were shining. When he saw Zhou Shixun and Zhou Luancheng looking at him, he quickly hunched his shoulders and lowered his head: "I don't know what you are talking about. I know nothing."
"I know I am guilty of intentionally trafficking children, and I will never do it again. I really know I was wrong, I plead guilty, and you can punish me however you want."
Zhou Luancheng frowned: "How did you escape?"
Li Ergeng shook his head repeatedly and lied: "I don't know. I saw that no one was around, so I quietly walked out. Oh, I learned how to pick locks when I was young."
Zhou Shixun glanced at him coldly: "Where is your cat?"
Li Ergeng was stunned for a moment: "Cat, what cat?"
When Zhou Shixun saw Li Ergeng say this, his eyes were obviously relaxed and he understood. He looked at the time and it was almost four o'clock. It would be dawn in a while.
He told Zhou Luancheng to keep an eye on the person and prepared to go home first.
He is not needed to interrogate Li Ergeng.
Zhou Luancheng asked someone to come and look after Li Ergeng, preparing to come back and interrogate him overnight.
After sending Zhou Shixun to the gate, Zhou Luancheng still found it quite magical: "Brother, how did you know that Li Ergeng was in Bailong Temple? I analyzed it before, but I didn't find any trace of his life."
Zhou Shixun thought for a moment and said, "Because of the cat, he will definitely come back to look for the cat. After all, the cat has something he wants. Looking at those things, maybe it's time to take them out."
"There are a lot of night cats near my home. They make shrill noises at night, as if they are making a fuss. It's possible that Li Ergeng has put something into the bodies of these cats."
This season is over the cat-nosing season, and it is obviously abnormal to hear cats meowing so frequently.
"As for Bailong Temple, he has been there for many years, so he must be familiar with it and should know all the workers there. He also has strong reconnaissance capabilities, so it won't be difficult for him to find more people."
Zhou Luancheng felt a little ashamed: "I was careless and didn't notice these details."
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "You don't live at home, so it's normal that you didn't notice these details. Okay, I'll go back first."
Zhou Luancheng waited until Zhou Shixun walked away before going back to interrogate Li Ergeng.
Zhou Shixun came home too late, and was afraid of waking up Sheng An Ning, so he leaned on the sofa in the outer room for a while.
When Sheng An Ning got up in the morning, she saw Zhou Shixun sleeping with his eyes closed on the sofa as soon as she walked out of the house. There were obvious bruises under his eyes. Thinking that he seemed to have not had a good rest in the past two days since he came back, she felt a little distressed and went back into the house to get a towel blanket.
When I tiptoed over and was about to cover him with a towel blanket, Zhou Shixun suddenly woke up, with bloodshot eyes but no sign of fatigue.
When he saw that it was Sheng An Ning, his guard disappeared and his eyes became gentle: "I came back late, so I thought I'd make do here for a while."
Sheng An Ning touched the dark scars under his eyes calmly: "Don't worry if the case can't be solved for the time being. I think Li Ergeng must be a lost dog now, running everywhere."
Moreover, cases nowadays too easily become unsolved cases.
Zhou Shixun shook his head: "Li Ergeng caught it."
Sheng An Ning wanted to persuade him again, but Zhou Shixun suddenly said something that made him feel uncomfortable and he was stunned for a while: "Caught?"
Zhou Shixun nodded: "There will definitely be results today. I'll go over after breakfast."
Sheng Anning stood up immediately: "I'll go too!"
