As the saying goes, "There is a fierce tiger in your heart, but you can still smell the roses." Old Yuan, who has a rough appearance, is particularly suitable for this saying.

In Zhang San's impression, people with such personality tend to have good relationships with the opposite sex, and more importantly, they see through the facts and will not go to extremes easily. Considering the current living environment, this is so precious.

If it weren't for his unpredictable attitude, he even believed that Yuan Ergou would treat him as a brother here.

When doing things, Zhang San often has extremely high demands on himself, but for his subordinates, he does not place special emphasis on it. In his opinion, outstanding talents will always receive special care, and as long as they do not make big mistakes, Zhang San is still tolerant.

Obviously, Yuan Ergou today is one of such talents!

After the logical integration of the memory palace, Zhang San naturally knew the general direction of the destination, which was understandable. However, what made him feel incredible was why Yuan Ergou, who was exploring the way ahead, did not go wrong either? "What's the name of that girl?"

In this special world, it is a taboo for practitioners to find out other people's hidden cards without any reason. However, in order to improve his sense of security, Zhang San did it without hesitation.

In order to lower Yuan Ergou's vigilance, he naturally couldn't be straight to the point. At this time, it was extremely important to talk about some common topics between men.

"How come... Your Excellency's observation skills are so impressive! Old Yuan is impressed!"

When hearing Zhang San's question, Yuan Ergou seemed very surprised at first, but after thinking about the other party's previous reasoning ability, he could only attribute this surprise to deep admiration.

"Her name is Lian Meng. She is the top performer in Nuanxiang Pavilion. Her family used to be in the silk business and was considered a powerful family. However, because of the crime of colluding with the demon tribe, her family was sentenced to be confiscated. All men over the age of 15 were sentenced to death, and the women were sent to the Jiaofang Bureau. The rest were sentenced to exile..."

As expected of his chatterbox personality, it would have been better if he hadn't said anything. As soon as Zhang San opened his mouth, Yuan Ergou started talking a lot like pouring beans. If Zhang San hadn't interrupted him in time, there would have been no conversation that day.

"I remember that the laws of the Great Jin Dynasty stipulate that women who are sent to the Jiaofangsi cannot be redeemed unless there is a general amnesty or a special amnesty approval from the Ministry of Justice. Have you considered this?"

"Your Excellency may not know that, thanks to Master Fayan, I have already obtained the amnesty document. Now all I need is the ransom. If it weren't for this ghost plague, I think it would have been almost done."

Speaking of this, Yuan Ergou also showed a look of resentment.

"Don't worry about that. If money can solve the problem, it's not a problem. We work together, so it's only right for me to help. After all, time flies. Don't let the girl wait too long."

Seeing Yuan Ergou's grateful eyes, Zhang San estimated that the time was almost right, so he asked tentatively.

"I saw you strolling around, and it seems that you have a very unique method of tracking down murderers. Do you mind telling me about it?"

When Zhang San's words entered Yuan Ergou's mind, he was happier than before when he heard about borrowing money.

Actually, Yuan Ergou's luck was quite good. After all, not long ago, the entire Taiping Guard was massacred by ghosts, but he was unharmed.

Under the threat of ghosts, he thought his life was over, but he didn't expect that the court would send another master like Zhang San.

Unlike the officials born in the Jingye Division, Yuan Ergou, who was born into a military household, is naturally not as capable as those chosen ones in terms of combat power. However, in terms of assessing the situation, Yuan Ergou is beyond their reach.

As he had been in the front line for many years, Yuan Ergou was very clear about one truth: "Opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared!" After understanding Zhang San's strength, how to show his value to the other party became Yuan Ergou's primary problem. However, before he could show his talent, Zhang San had already discovered the clues, which made him overjoyed.

"You are joking, my Lord. Actually, there is nothing wrong with it. In the final analysis, it is just a sense of smell!"

"Smell?"

Looking at Zhang San's expression that said "are you kidding me?", Yuan Ergou hurriedly explained.

"Yes, it's the sense of smell. It's actually quite incredible. Originally, my sense of smell wasn't that sharp. But after being bitten by a dying big yellow dog, I found that my sense of smell became extremely sharp, and even my root bones improved a lot.

If not, how could I, a person born into a military family, have reached this level of cultivation without the support of expensive medicinal materials?

Just like in this sewer, although I don't know where the thing you want to find is, as long as you follow the direction of the rotting corpse, it will not be wrong. "

As if to deepen the credibility of his words, Yuan Ergou appeared to be very attentive when explaining this point, and even his tone became much more serious.

Originally, I just wanted to confirm it, but I didn't expect to dig up such a treasure. The smell of the sewer nowadays is not as complicated as that in later generations.

But for humans, trying to accurately distinguish the smell of a rotting corpse from such a complex gas environment is as difficult as looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, even in such a situation, Yuan Ergou could do this easily. If there are miracles in this world, Yuan Ergou's skills can obviously be listed among them.

"What is the range of your sense of smell?"

After thinking for a moment, Zhang San immediately raised another extremely important question.

"On the ground, if you search deliberately, a three-mile radius is not a problem. If it doesn't rain, you can even smell the lingering smell from five days ago.

But if it's in the sewer, the range is discounted. If I'm not mistaken, it's no more than one mile. The stench of corpses I smelled before was within this range."

【Humanoid police dog! 】

For some reason, after hearing Yuan Ergou's introduction, these four words popped into Zhang San's mind. If he could have such a remarkable person to help him when handling the case, Zhang San would be much more relaxed.
