Chapter 40 Eye to Eye
Afterwards, they searched several nearby hills, but the system didn't find any useful information.
They did find quite a few mushrooms.
After eating mushrooms for several days straight, Lian Hua couldn't hold on any longer. "We've been looking for mushrooms for so many days, why don't we take a break? My family has been eating mushrooms for several days."
After discussing this, a few people took a day off.
Lu Xing went to the county town, bought a bag of rice and some bean sprouts, and planned to go back home to cook in the evening.
Recently, because she raised a fox, the growth rate of the vegetables she planted in the field could not keep up with the consumption rate of the family.
After returning home, she prepared food for the little fox as usual.
The little fox who used to act coquettishly towards her suddenly started breathing at her today, even more aggressively than when they first met.
When Lu Xing reached out his hand, the little fox's nose moved, and it smelled a familiar scent and stopped.
But when she got close to him, the little fox would still breathe out.
This strange behavior made Lu Xing think that her injury had relapsed.
Because the little fox looked alert, she couldn't get close to check.
"System, can you scan the little fox's feet? Has its wound recurred?"
[No, the scan results show everything is normal. The little fox is recovering well, but he's a little hungry.]
"Then why is it suddenly breathing at me? Its ears are bent over."
[Based on analysis, this state seems to be alerting the opponent, and the target seems to be you, the host.]
Lu Xing walked around and found that the fox's eyes were following her, but it didn't look alert like when it smelled her hand just now.
Remembering that she went to the city today, "Is the little fox wary of the stranger's scent on me?"
Without waiting for the system's reply, she denied the speculation, "No, I saw quite a few people in the village a few days ago who also had the smell on them, and it didn't exhale."
"The little fox has been living in the mountains and hasn't seen many people. Besides us, the only person who left a deep impression on it was the man who injured it. Could it be that I met that man when I went to the county town today?"
"System, can you compare the man I met today with the man you recorded before?"
[Yes, please wait for the host.]
The system's backend called up today's records. Starting from the moment Lu Xing left the house, pictures flashed by quickly. Every word Lu Xing said and every person he met on the road could not escape the system's record.
All females were excluded.
All elderly people and young children have been excluded.
All the images of men who meet the requirements flashed by one after another, and the details that could not be distinguished by the human eye could not escape the system's program.
One candidate was eliminated.
Finally, he successfully locked onto a man wearing a hat who passed by Lu Xing when she came out after buying groceries.
Although the man had his head down and his back hunched, he looked completely different from the sinister image of the man holding a weapon.
However, the system recognizes people not by appearance, but by bones.
No matter how a person's appearance changes, his inner bones cannot be changed.
[Found it! The man the host met while buying groceries is the one you've been looking for.]
It turned out that he had run away to the city again. No wonder they had searched for him for so many days without any clues.
After knowing the reason, Lu Xing ran to change his clothes.
Without the unpleasant smell, the little fox can eat the vegetables with peace of mind and can accept Lu Xing's approach.
"System, can you still scan that man's location?"
[The distance is too far, but before it exceeds the scanning range, I recorded that man meeting someone else.]
[Host, what are you going to do? It seems like there are a lot of people on the other side, and they have weapons.]
"Is this all what you scanned?"
"Yeah, I'm awesome, right?" the system said, a hint of pride lingering in its voice.
"Great, great, you've been a great help."
Of course, she told Liu Hehua the news immediately.
"Auntie, how did you know?" He Gu, who was listening nearby, was a little curious. "You haven't even seen that person, how can you recognize him?"
Seeing the suspicion in her eyes about to turn into admiration, Lu Xing quickly interrupted her guess, "I didn't recognize it. Do you remember the fox we caught in the field? Maybe it was injured in the leg by that person, so it holds a grudge."
"I ran into him in the county today, and when I came back, something wasn't right with the little fox."
I thought this explanation could prove that I didn't have any ordinary abilities.
Unexpectedly, Liu Hehua intervened and said, "You don't understand, Lu Xing is from the Chu Ma Xian sect. We can't ask too much about the source of the information."
"So that's how it is." He Gu felt as if he had suddenly realized something.
Even Lian Hua, who had been skeptical, looked at her with a half-believing and half-doubting look.
She looked at Liu Hehua, who gave her an expression that said, "Leave everything to me."
I feel like it's hard to explain why she's into metaphysics, especially since there's someone holding her back.
"What should we do? Auntie said that group of people are armed and hiding in the county. Should we still intervene in this matter?"
There was a hint of retreat in He Gu's words. She was already afraid of encountering armed people, and now that she heard that there was such a group of people hiding in the county, she wanted to hide even further away.
"How about calling the police?" Lu Xing asked a few people, "Will the police believe it?"
Liu Hehua thought for a moment and said, "Let's just say we saw it while buying groceries."
The police at the police station were stunned when they received their call.
A group of old ladies came over and said that they saw someone holding a wooden basket while buying vegetables.
Although they doubted that this was a fake, after all, the biggest incident in the county in the past decade was Lu Jianjun stabbing people with a knife.
Suddenly, a group of armed people came to this small county town, and the old lady happened to see them.
No matter how I think about it, it seems outrageous.
However, according to regulations, they still have to verify it.
Thinking it was a prank, a few people followed the old lady's instructions and walked all the way to a house.
"The men you saw entering this room with weapons?"
Liu Hehua looked at Lu Xing and only after seeing her nod did she say with certainty, "Yes, it's right here. Comrades, be careful."
"good."
Although they said so, they still didn't have much vigilance in their hearts.
As per procedure, they knocked on the door first and asked if anyone was home.
As a result, no one responded from inside, and there were strange noises coming from inside the house.
"Is anyone home? We heard some noise, and if you don't open the door, we're going to take forceful measures."
They knocked on the door but received no response. They were about to force it open when they heard a noise nearby.
A man sneaked out from the top of the wall and was caught red-handed by the police comrades who came to check the situation.
Their eyes met and he was immediately caught.
I thought I was alone, but unexpectedly, a voice came from inside, "Brother, you turned the wrong way! Come back quickly."
The captured man gritted his teeth. It was too late for him to escape. He could only remind his brothers, "Run!"
Unfortunately, the police did not give the people inside a chance to escape. After discovering something was wrong, they immediately broke in.
Another person inside the door was climbing over the wall at the back door.
Both of them were caught on the spot, and a pile of earthenware and wooden storage in the house were also confiscated, with many carcasses of prey lying around.
The entire police station was alarmed by this major case.
