After saying that, Su Zhizhi handed all the food she had left from the hunter to Shen Wenjun, "I got these from the hunter, eat them quickly."

Su Zhizhi urged.

This time Shen Wenjun was not polite anymore. He took it and ate it without hesitation.

"Okay, thank you." Shen Wenjun expressed his gratitude sincerely.

"It's okay." Su Zhizhi waved her hand.

After doing all this, Su Zhizhi sat aside and thought quietly. She was in a dilemma. How should she rescue Xie Chengjin?

After thinking for a while, Su Zhizhi didn't come up with any answer, which made her very confused.

The next day.

The rumors about monsters in the town became more and more intense, even to the point that people in the entire town dared not go out, causing panic among the people.

In the morning, Su Zhizhi went out to the street to find out what was going on. However, when she got there, she found that the street that was crowded with people before was now deserted, and basically every house was closed.

Seeing this, she hurried to find out what was going on.

Su Zhizhi grabbed a vegetable vendor and cautiously asked, "Uncle, why is there no one on the street? Where are you all going?"

The uncle was frightened at first by the sudden appearance of Su Zhizhi, but after seeing Su Zhizhi clearly, he immediately felt relieved.

"Oh, girl, you almost scared me to death. I thought it was a monster." The uncle said in shock.

After hearing this, Su Zhizhi suddenly felt that her behavior was a bit presumptuous. She quickly apologized, "I'm sorry to scare you. I was abrupt, uncle."

The uncle smiled when he heard the voice, then looked Su Zhizhi up and down and said, "You are from outside, right? I tell you, there have been a lot of monsters causing trouble in this town these days. Officials from the county above have been sent to catch monsters. It's not safe for a girl like you to hang around here. You should go home quickly!"

The uncle looked at Su Zhizhi seriously and tried to persuade her.

Su Zhizhi nodded thoughtfully after hearing that, then thanked her uncle, "Okay, thank you, uncle. I'll be leaving first."

On the road.

Su Zhizhi immediately understood that the "monster" that the people were talking about was most likely her wheelchair from yesterday.

Since that's the case, she might as well take advantage of the situation and play two roles by herself. She would first get the wheelchair to attract the officers and soldiers' attention, and then she would find a way to blend into the arresting team to help the officers and soldiers capture the monster. In this way, she would have evidence of her alibi and could also help Xie Chengjin clear his suspicion. Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Su Zhizhi did what she said and went straight to the yamen without hesitation.

When Su Zhizhi arrived at the yamen, the runners had gathered together to prepare for patrolling the streets.

The yamen runners were quite surprised to see Su Zhizhi's arrival. The leading yamen runner looked at Su Zhizhi and couldn't help but remind her, "Miss, there are monsters in the town recently. It's not safe. You should go home quickly and close the doors and windows."

Su Zhizhi smiled upon hearing this and said calmly, "I came here for this very purpose. I can help you catch the monster."

As soon as these words were spoken, the yamen runners present all showed distrustful smiles, and their eyes looked at Su Zhizhi with a playful look.

Su Zhizhi smiled faintly upon seeing this. She knew that these officers and soldiers did not believe that a woman like her could catch monsters, so Su Zhizhi chose to prove herself with her actual ability.

Su Zhizhi took out a dart without hesitation and threw it out. Suddenly, the bird that had been chirping on the tree fell to the ground with a "bang" and did not move.

"I wonder if you think that with my skills, I can join you in hunting monsters?" Su Zhizhi said with a smile as she looked at the yamen runners.

The head yamen runner was slightly taken aback, then nodded without hesitation, "Yes, yes, absolutely."

Hearing this, Su Zhizhi breathed a sigh of relief. She nodded and said, "That's fine."

"Okay, in that case, let's go on patrol together." The head of the yamen runners said, and then he took Su Zhizhi and the others away.

On the way, Su Zhizhi nonchalantly asked the yamen runner, "I remember we caught the murderer a few days ago. Why are we arresting him now?"

Upon hearing Su Zhizhi's words, the yamen runner sighed helplessly and said, "Alas, you don't know. Although we caught the murderer some time ago, he escaped from prison within two days. That's why we're here to arrest him now. Not only that, the whole town is in a panic because of this incident."

Upon hearing this, other yamen runners began to complain and join in.

"Yeah, yeah, I really don't know how he escaped from a prison with so many guards."

"That's right! And it makes us have to go look for him now."

"This is so annoying. Do you think we can catch him? There are so many things to do."

……

Su Zhizhi was utterly shocked after hearing this. She looked at the bailiffs in surprise and asked again, "You mean the murderer escaped?"

"Yes." The chief yamen runner nodded without hesitation.

After hearing what the yamen runner said, Su Zhizhi fell into deep thought. She really couldn't understand why Xie Chengjin didn't come to meet them since he had escaped from prison?

Thinking of this, Su Zhizhi felt puzzled. After thinking about it, Su Zhizhi felt that Xie Chengjin might have something urgent to deal with.

After making up this excuse, Su Zhizhi felt that she could still convince herself that since Xie Chengjin was fine, there was no need for her to waste time here. The sooner she could get out of here, the easier it would be. She could also meet up with Xie Chengjin sooner to avoid unnecessary complications.

In response to this, Su Zhizhi made a prompt decision and prepared to find an opportunity to complete the task of capturing the monster.

Su Zhizhi followed the yamen runners on patrol for a few blocks before she suddenly stopped and clutched her stomach. The leading yamen runner saw her and quickly stopped, approaching her and asking, "Miss, what's wrong with you? Is it serious?"

"My stomach feels a little uncomfortable and I want to go to the toilet. You guys go first and don't worry about me. I'll follow you later." Su Zhizhi explained with a frown.

Seeing this, the head constable was too embarrassed to say anything else and could only nod and agree, "Okay! Then you must pay attention to your safety when you are alone outside. Hurry up and follow us as soon as you finish."

The chief constable told Su Zhizhi.

"Okay, okay." Su Zhizhi nodded.

In this way, the constables continued to patrol forward, and after Su Zhizhi watched the constables leave, she immediately took a shortcut and went around to the next street where the chief constables were going to patrol, and then threw her wheelchair there.

After doing all this, Su Zhizhi slowly caught up with the search team.

Just as Su Zhizhi expected, the detectives soon found the place where Su Zhizhi abandoned the wheelchair.
