Travel to ancient times to be a fast catcher

Chapter 133

The people scattered, Chu Xiaoyun himself was not idle, and the boatmen who visited the docks asked if they had seen Wei Tang. Chu Xiaoyun asked Wei Yuan's description of Wei Tang to the boatmen one by one. Unfortunately, no one had the impression, and no one admitted to driving Wei Tang for a trip.

Come and go.

Until the afternoon when the office was about to be released, Chu Xiaoyun gathered his subordinates, and everyone shook their heads without gaining anything.

Chu Xiaoyun looked at the pier in front of him, which was getting quieter as the sky was getting late. I don't know if everyone has never seen it before, or the description was not concrete enough, so the boatmen couldn't remember it. After thinking about it, I felt that it was a mistake. I should draw a portrait of Wei Tang.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun asked the rest of the people to go back to the Yamen first, and rushed to Wei's house to inquire about Wei Tang's portrait. If not, he will drive the ducks into battle to see if he can draw it through Wei Yuan's description.

Unexpectedly, the Wei family really had a portrait of Wei Tang. This portrait was much more realistic than the notice pictures he saw on TV. Judging from Chu Xiaoyun's shallow knowledge of traditional Chinese painting, it should be meticulous. A portrait of this level cannot be copied by oneself. Chu Xiaoyun thought for a while and could only ask Wei Yuan for help: "Do you know where there is a painter?"

Wei Yuan asked, "I don't know why Chu Butou is looking for a painter?"

Chu Xiaoyun said: "We want more of your father's painting. Copy a few pictures, so we can distribute them to everyone."

Wei Yuan said: "The villain is not talented, this painting was drawn by me."

Now Chu Xiaoyun was really surprised, the Wei family is a businessman's family, Still have such cultural background and self-cultivation.

Probably knowing what Chu Xiaoyun was surprised about, Wei Yuan smiled and said: "The previous boss was very knowledgeable and supported everyone to study and improve. There has always been a literati style in the firm. If the boss's family was not engaged in business, the imperial examination would probably be too difficult. To have a part-time job..."

Wei Yuan said, the smile on his face faded.

Remembering that the Wei family father and son had been kicked out by the boss, Chu Xiaoyun understood what was in his heart at this time. But there is one thing that he still can't understand. Since the Dong family is such an elegant family, why is it that his father helped the Dong family for most of his life, and he was kicked out in his later years? Judging from the layout of the Wei family and what he has learned since he came into contact with Wei Yuan, Wei Yuan is a well-educated and responsible person, which fully fits the elegant style of his family's pursuit of learning and self-motivation.

He wanted to ask why, but seeing Wei Yuan's frustrated look at the moment, he couldn't open his mouth.

"Then Mr. Wei, please copy a few of this painting, and let me take it to find people." Chu Xiaoyun changed the subject. This is also the purpose of his trip.

"Don't dare to work, it's about my father, it should be taken for granted." Wei Yuan said, "I'll draw it all night tonight, and Chu Butou can come and go tomorrow morning." On the second day,

Chu Xiaoyun brought someone to Wei's house to get it. As for the paintings, Wei Yuan has already painted many and keeps them at home. Looking at the bloodshot eyes of Wei Yuan, Chu Xiaoyun could tell that he must have stayed up all night. When I took over the painting, it became more and more heavy.

Wei Yuan copied a total of ten paintings, probably because he was in a hurry. Although they are not as exquisite as the original paintings, the expressions of the characters are generally the same. Farewell to Wei Yuan, Chu Xiaoyun had someone post one of Wei Yuan's paintings on the notice in the city, and allocated three more to the county government between Hejing County and Qingzhou Prefecture, and two to Qingzhou Prefecture. Ya, ask them to help find them.

He kept one of the remaining four, and distributed the remaining three to the three teams who went out to search.

With the portrait, it is much more intuitive, he thought, now he should be able to find Wei Tang's whereabouts. He sent others to the pier to inquire about the retail boatmen, and he took the portraits to find those fleets with chambers of commerce, including Gu's fleet.

However, another day passed, and there was still no information about Wei Tang at Honghe Wharf, including the Gu family, and no boatman had seen Wei Tang. After work was over, Chu Xiaoyun thought about the reason for a long time. Could it be that Wei Tang didn't choose to travel by water in the end?

He is considering whether to check the checkpoints of Lu Dao tomorrow.

Knowing his troubles, Su Wen listened silently for a moment and said: "The boatmen at the dock don't gather at the dock all the time. Those who find a job go to work. The number of boatmen who stop at the dock every day is limited. And there are also some who sneak away." Boatman."

Hearing this, Chu Xiaoyun was suddenly enlightened, sometimes he just cared too much about being in it, and even couldn't understand the very simple truth. Chu Xiaoyun hugged Su Wen excitedly and turned around a few times: "My little husband is so smart, thank you so much for your husband."

Su Wen chuckled and asked him to let go: "Yu'er is watching from the sidelines." "

Chu Xiaoyun glanced at Chu Shuyu, who was staring at the two of them in the cradle tilted sideways, and laughed loudly: "Boy, what do you know when you are young? You can experience it when you grow up, don't worry about it." Look."

She said and threw a gauze to cover the cradle.

The world in front of him suddenly became unclear, Xiao Shuyu froze for a moment and burst into tears.

Su Wen broke free from Chu Xiaoyun's embrace and lifted the veil, and said wordlessly, "Be careful that you scare Yu'er."

Chu Xiaoyun glared at his mother who came to him, and immediately stopped crying to Xiao Shuyu: "That kid What a clever ghost, do you think he looks a little scared?"

Su Wen said: "I don't care, anyway, you can't do this again."

Chu Xiaoyun shrugged his shoulders, since he got this gadget, he and his little husband Lang's chances of being intimate were greatly reduced, and every time he got a little excited, the brat would cry loudly by the side. When he let go of Su Wen helplessly, the brat was lying on the side and grinning again. If it weren't for how small he was, Chu Xiaoyun would have wanted to wring him up and spank his ass.

Thinking that Wang Sanqiang would not come back so soon, even with Su Wen's idea, Chu Xiaoyun sent someone to check the land checkpoint. At the same time, he himself continued to lead people to look for the boatmen who were missed in the previous investigation and are now returning from work.

Fortunately, there are records of the previous interviews. When we went to the pier, Chu Xiaoyun asked people to take out the list of interviews, and asked the boatmen if there were any boatmen who ran the Red River and the Pingjiang River. of? After running one day, everyone shook their heads.

Chu Xiaoyun also went back to the yamen to check the registration records of the dock. They had questioned all the boatmen with records in the yamen, and even two unregistered boatmen were also questioned, but no one had ever seen Wei Tang, let alone It is said that Weitang has been carried.

Could it be that Wei Tang really took the black boatman's boat? The problem lies with the boatman? Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun couldn't help but think of the black car in his previous life. It is said that black cars are not safe, but there are always people who take black cars for various reasons, and many people suffer misfortune because of this, but this situation is still repeated.

If Wei Tang travels on a black boat, it will be troublesome. It will take until the year of the monkey to investigate, and if that person feels that he has done a big ticket, so he washes his hands and quits, he should avoid the risk temporarily. , that person may not be able to find it yet.

The case was at an impasse for a while.

Fortunately, Wang Sanqiang hurried back the next day.

"How's the situation in Qingzhou?" Chu Xiaoyun couldn't wait to ask Wang Sanqiang's first words.

"We have inquired about the location provided by Wei Yuan, and checked the goods one by one with the shopkeepers of several shops, and there is nothing redundant. Wei Tang arrived at Gyeongju Prefecture at the planned time, as agreed The goods are delivered on time, and their transactions are also clear of money and goods. Those storekeepers also provided Wei Tang's signature certificate. We brought it back and let Wei Yuan come to identify the handwriting." Unambiguous, and the regulations are much clearer than usual.

"One of the shopkeepers has done business with Wei Tang many times, and they are familiar with each other. During the chat, we know that Wei Tang went there by water, and I heard Wei Tang mention the inn he stayed in. We went to the inn to inquire, and the shopkeeper confirmed it. Wei Tang did stay in their inn for two nights, and checked out at Chenshi on the third day. No matter whether he was checking in or checking out, Wei Tang looked as usual, and even left with a smile on his face. The shopkeeper once asked if the business was doing well, and Wei Tang replied with a smile, "It's okay." "

Later, the police from the Gyeongju government office went to the Gyeongju government wharf with us to inquire, but they didn't None of the boatmen admitted to taking Weitang. The investigation of the boatmen over there will not be completed in a short while, so we will first bring back Weitang's signature and let Wei Yuan identify it." Wang Sanqiang finished speaking in one breath, then picked up the teacup, put the cup Drink everything in one gulp.

It might be much better if Qingzhou Prefecture has its own personnel to assist in the investigation, but the gap between the county government and the government government is too large, and it is on someone else's territory, so it may not be able to do much. Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoyun felt that it was okay for Wang Sanqiang to come back first.

He asked someone to go to Wei's house and invite Wei Yuan to come to see if Wei Tang's signature was written in hand. Wei Tang looked at the signatures, and said with certainty: "It was my father's handwriting. Dare to ask Chu Butou, but there is news about my father?"

After asking, Wei Yuan's eyes showed anticipation.

Chu Xiaoyun shook his head regretfully: "At present, we have only narrowed down the scope. Your father's disappearance should be on the way back to Hejing County from Qingzhou Prefecture. It is a pity that the target has not been locked yet." Wei Yuan's gaze changed from expectation to disappointment

.

Although Wei Tang's whereabouts cannot be completely determined, based on the existing clues, Chu Xiaoyun believes that the possibility of Wei Tang's return journey is also greatly increased by water. For the current plan, we can only increase the investigation from Qingzhou Prefecture to Hejing County along the banks of the river. He ordered the police to strengthen the investigation of the Red River and Pingjiang River sections in Hejing County. At the same time, he asked Wei Jinghan to write a letter asking for help from the counties along the way. In addition, he focused his investigation on those black boat workers who had not registered with the Yamen.

This is a huge investigation of the project, and it takes a lot of time to check so many places. While Chu Xiaoyun was mentally preparing for a protracted battle, someone came to the county government to beat drums, claiming that he was the one who took Weitang to and from Qingzhou Prefecture and Hejing County.
