After crossing over, I am popular with both men and women

"This is a government case. Everyone stop where you are and wait for the search!" The leading middle-aged captain with a serious face shouted loudly, holding the government order.

Then he raised his hand and called the soldiers who were following behind the cavalry and were leading tracking dogs to come closer.

After comparing several constables, he divided the military dogs into three rows and arranged them in this way.

He then jumped up with the long sword at his waist and led his team first.

With two tracking dogs leading the way, we boarded the already full boat...

Soon, only two younger constables were left, leading a team of military dogs. They started from the end of the team and checked everyone below one by one.

"Stand still. I told you not to move around without permission. Okay, move aside after you've finished checking!" The constable with a longer face waved his hand with a rather unexpected look.

The other one with a round face was good-tempered. He saw some people who didn't know how to obey the instructions after being pointed at twice.

He then selected two more soldiers from the remaining soldiers to guard those who had been checked.

But sometimes, it is not enough to just make arrangements. There are always some people who are naturally afraid of seeing officials.

This will cause them to run around in fear, greatly increasing the difficulty of investigation.

Some want to find people they are familiar with, while others just subconsciously want to squeeze into crowded places.

The bad-tempered constable was so angry that he wanted to curse.

"Why are you running! Stop him. Are you the criminal? No? If you're not, then just stand still. If anyone else runs around, he will be considered an accomplice to the murder and taken back to the government office to await trial!"

The constable glared with fierce eyes and wrote down the information in the book with hatred.

Damn it, it's so hot and we still have to come out to do our work. It would be fine if we just did our work, but these fools just don't listen.

As soon as these words were spoken, the nearby civilians, who were all being stared at by the military dogs, were frightened and became as obedient as quails, not daring to make a sound.

Especially those who were looked at twice more by the tracking dogs, they would stretch out their hands if asked, and open their bags if asked to search.

Further ahead, those people who were still far from being affected were also too frightened to move around on their own, but their discussions were growing louder and louder.

Especially those who knew some gossip, some even gathered together to discuss it.

"Hey, is this about Cha Caihua's case, or the murder case in Yu Village?"

"Aren't they together?"

"Huh? Really?"

"I heard that it was the same case. The government didn't send anyone to investigate the previous flower-picking cases, but the murder happened in Yu Village, so they sent these soldiers to arrest them overnight."

"Hey, I heard that the flower thief had a very handsome face, and most of those women volunteered. Before, they even stopped their parents from reporting the case."

"Yes, yes, there is one in our village. Now she doesn't like any young men. She would rather stay at home as a nun than see anyone else."

"Is it so beautiful?"

“I really want to see it!”

"We were talking about a murder case, but why are we talking about the appearance of that flower-stealing thief?"

"Oh, I heard that Yu Cun's death was extremely tragic. Not only were his eyes gouged out, but his limbs were also broken. All ten fingernails were broken, and the whole bed was soaked with blood..."

"Is there anyone from Yu Village? Is it really that miserable?"

“It’s really that tragic, my second aunt’s younger sister’s third daughter-in-law is from Yu Village.

It is said that when the murder happened, the girl's parents were sleeping next door. When they woke up the next day and called the girl to eat, they found that the mother was almost scared crazy..."

"That's not right. It's right next door. How is it possible that we didn't hear any sound?"

"Isn't it said that when a thief commits a crime, he will drug the owner? How could he hear it?"

"If the owner of the house couldn't hear it, could it be that the families nearby didn't hear it either?"

"I do not know."

"By the way, according to people in her village, they heard a woman crying in the middle of the night these past two days..."

Su Qinchao and Ling Qi, who were standing in the crowd, listened to the endless discussions around them, their eyes gradually becoming fiercer.

It looks like a murder case has occurred. The fact that these detectives brought tracking dogs here means that the criminal is very likely among them.

Thinking of this, the two began to unconsciously observe those people in the crowd whose expressions were different from those of ordinary people.

"Look at that." Su Qin gestured to Ling Qi calmly, asking him to look at the young man on the right who was leaning against the haystack with a rather gloomy face.

At this moment, the man was tightly holding a copper orchid hairpin that women wear. From a distance, one could see some red spots reflected on the pistil.

He felt that the man's behavior was quite suspicious.

"I don't think there is anything wrong." Ling Qi took a look and expressed the opposite opinion from Su Qinchao.

"Look, that man has a gloomy face, but he looks sad. His eyes are slightly red, but he doesn't look fierce. Maybe his lover doesn't like him anymore, so he looks like this."

"What's going on with the red spots reflected by the copper hairpin? There are no red reflective objects around." Su Qinchao pinched his chin. He was suspicious because he felt that there was something wrong with the copper hairpin.

"Why don't we go take a closer look?"

"Ah."

Then the two of them looked at each other and moved towards the man without leaving a trace.

After a while, he moved to a position where he would not alert the enemy but could see clearly.

"It is indeed blood!" The two looked at it for a while, then put their ears close to each other and whispered their findings to each other.

"The man's palms also had blood stains, but his clothes were clean. He may be related to this case, but he is probably not the murderer."

"There is a black longbow at his feet, and the arrows are all brand new. Maybe he is here to hunt down the murderer for his beloved."

"Really? Let me take a look..."

However, before the two of them could go and observe again, they heard several loud noises of people falling into the water behind them.

Some of the water droplets splashing from the falling water even splashed on their faces, making them subconsciously turn around to look.

On the water, several figures were seen rising and falling with the waves, chasing each other.

Moreover, none of them swam towards the shore, but instead ran towards the reef surrounded by aquatic plants in the deep water.

Swimming in the front was a man with a rather sturdy figure, his face covered and his features unclear.

He swam hard, trying to get rid of the handsome young man who was following closely behind him. He looked quite heroic and his swimming movements went from being unfamiliar to being proficient.

Following closely behind them were two tracking dogs whose limbs were moving very fast. It looked like they were about to overtake the young man and catch up with the masked man.

Behind them is the middle-aged captain who led the group...

This situation made the people on and off the boat so excited that they completely forgot the urgency of being searched before.

When they saw the exciting parts, some of them even shouted excitedly.

But everything must come to an end, and so does the pursuit in the water.

Although the man's face could not be seen clearly, he finally shook off the handsome young man and the two tracking dogs and successfully escaped to the reef.

However, he was unexpectedly shot through the shoulder by an arrow from the gloomy and sad-looking man behind Su Qinchao and Ling Qi.
