She knocked the short man unconscious and woke up the tall man. She asked him again, and after making sure that the answers were the same, she crippled their hands and feet and threw them into the yard separated by a wall.

No. 11 said that there was a large family living in the yard, and they would definitely report to the police if they saw two strange men. The truth talisman could last for nearly an hour, so the police would have enough time to interrogate them immediately if they took them back.

As for the fact that the murder was committed during the interrogation, this could not be concealed at all. It would probably be exposed when she arrived in Le County. It was only a matter of time. It would be even better if the police found them before they left the city. They could then go there together to investigate.

But unfortunately, she is disappointed with the efficiency of the public security.

I don't know if it was because she hit the man too hard and knocked him unconscious, so he couldn't be woken up at all, or if the police didn't treat this as an important case and waited until the two people woke up on their own before interrogating them.

Even because the two men had their limbs broken, the public security comrades actually went to investigate the family that reported the case first, to make sure that they were not the ones who made the men like that, and only then went back to interrogate the two men.

By that time, more than half an hour had passed. Xiao Yun and the other three had already boarded the long-distance bus to Le County, and had even set off for more than ten minutes.

So by the time they had waited for them to find out what happened to the three of them, it was already too late when they arrived at the long-distance bus station.

The three arrived in Le County more than two hours later. In fact, according to No. 11, the straight-line distance was not far.

But there are many mountain roads here, and not so many tunnels have been built yet, so we have to take detours, and the journey is long.

The mountain road was not only winding but also rugged. Xiao Yun felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Fortunately, they did not eat before getting on the bus, otherwise they would have vomited like the lady sitting in the back.

There were no plastic bags at that time, so I either had to stick my head out the window and spit, or spit directly into the car.

However, if you vomit in the car, you will definitely be scolded by the driver and the flight attendant. After all, the smell will tempt other passengers to vomit as well.

That lady was also a ruthless person. She took off her coat, covered her mouth and spit on her clothes. Then she rolled up the clothes and stuffed them under the seat.

It is impossible to throw it away. Everyone is in trouble at that time. Let alone a piece of clothing, even a piece of rag cannot be thrown away.

The only good thing is that the windows of the car are now open, and when the car is moving and the wind is blowing, there is almost no strange smell in the front.

After finally getting off the bus, they were almost stunned by the scene before them.

"Is this the county town? Isn't it said that the south is richer than ours? Why is it so shabby?"

Cheng Jinhua asked in disbelief.

Xiao Yun was also confused. Logically speaking, since this place is close to the sea, the economy should be better. No matter what, it can't be worse than that in the northwest, right?

"You have forgotten what era we are in. Even in 20 or 30 years, this place won't be very developed. It's not a port city.

In this era, even port cities are not developing very well. After all, it has only been a few years since the war. How can a small county town near the sea develop well? "

Number 11 replied in her mind.

Xiao Yun nodded in his heart. That was right. At that time, there were only a few tall buildings in the city center, most of which were two or three stories high.

Without waiting for Xiao Yun to answer, Cheng Jinhua continued, "No wonder Chen Shuanzhu used to write letters home in difficult conditions. He said that they had walked hundreds of miles on foot. I didn't believe it before, but now I really believe it after seeing this."

Most of the houses are built together, unlike those in the north where they are built in rows.

There is moss on the ground, corners and foundations of houses, which shows how humid this place is. There are trees on the roadside, and many tree roots have exploded, making the ground uneven.

What shocked them the most was the outskirts of the county town. It was as if something had just happened. Many trees were broken or fallen, and some roofs of some houses were missing a lot of tiles.

Looking at the water accumulated on the ground, Xiao Yun frowned. Could it be that this place had just experienced a typhoon?

That's not right. Aren't typhoons usually more common after May? They are more common in summer and autumn. It's only March, how come there are already typhoons?

Just as I was thinking this, No. 11's voice sounded again: "No, it has been here since March, but not as much as in the summer. It can be seen that the typhoon has just passed.

You see, most of the houses in this county are built together to prevent typhoons. If they are built thinly, they will be easily blown down.

It's okay for those who live in this kind of tower, except that the top tiles have been blown away, so it can be fixed with a repair. But those independent houses are uninhabitable.

I just scanned a village not far from the county town. Those whose homes were severely affected by the disaster were gathered in a large yard for temporary shelter.

That yard looks like an ancestral hall. That village should have the same surname and the same ancestor. The ancestral hall is well built.

It's only okay now. In ten years or so, the ancestral hall may not be able to be preserved. It was built too luxuriously and will probably be smashed and destroyed in the end.

They randomly picked someone on the road and prepared to ask for directions to the county armed forces department, but they found that they couldn't understand what the other person was saying at all. Later, Xiao Yun asked the other person to write it on the ground with a branch, and only then did they understand.

The man was quite enthusiastic. In case they couldn't find the way, he drew a route map for them and marked the directions of east, south, west and north.

After thanking the other party, Xiao Yun memorized the route map in his mind, and then led the grandparents and grandchildren forward.

It is possible that the news from the city has not yet been passed on, and the people behind the scenes thought they had succeeded, so they did not encounter any obstacles along the way.

Xiao Yun thought that maybe they could attack by surprise and see Xu Jianzhou before the other party could react.

The armed forces department’s office is located in the county government office building. It looks like a private residence and must have been donated by a patriot.

Xiao Yun walked directly to the small room at the door, where the words "Message Room" were written. An old man in his fifties or sixties was sitting inside, reading a newspaper.

Xiao Yun knocked on the window and saw the other party looking up. Then he asked, "Excuse me, which floor is the county armed forces department on? We are here to look for someone."

The old man pushed his glasses up on his nose, looked him up and down, and then asked, "You are from the north? Who are you looking for?"

Unexpectedly, the old man spoke fluent Mandarin. Xiao Yun had already prepared paper and pen, thinking that they could communicate with words if things didn't work.

"We are from the north. I am looking for my man. His name is Xu Jianzhou."
