Chapter 141 Farmer

"The mastermind's lair!"

An incredible light was revealed in Makino's eyes. What they had always felt very distressed about was how could Sakuraye find the answer in such a short time?

The two passed through the cracked muddy ground. It was hot summer in the imperial capital. The scorched sun made the ground hot. The two came to a lake, and the cherry leaves walked along the river bank. The wind blew her long hair, and the beautiful eyes under the long hair were looking for something on the ground. Finally, the eyes stopped looking. The detective stared at the traces of ashore on the lake bank and grabbed a handful of soil.

Makino finally asked his doubts.

"What are we doing in this lake?"

"Water can cover up their odor, and the best way to cover it is to splash water on yourself, so that it can rush away the substance used by the mastermind to cover up their original odor, and at the same time minimize the dissipation of their odor. However, in an authentic environment, long-term running will cause the water to dissipate due to rapid running. The best way at this moment is to jump into the water and escape,"

The boy nodded thoughtfully. He looked around and suddenly remembered that he had seen it on the hydrological pictures of the imperial capital. There was only one water source in the tunnel, which was connected to this lake.

Makino squatted down and looked at the traces of getting ashore.

"Yangye, do you suspect they are here to get ashore?"

"Yes, although this lake is still connected to other water sources, I still think this is their most likely landing place. First, they were in a state of escape at that time, and humans felt friendly to the earth, while being in the water would make them feel lonely and helpless, so they would pursue ashore as quickly as possible. Second, they are in a slum, and the public security is relatively not tight; other water sources connected to the lake are located in areas where you warriors often live, with strict patrols and easy to find out. If it were me, I would choose to go ashore here."

Makino stood up and looked around. It was a clearing land, with weeds growing, and only in a faraway place could you vaguely see the rising smoke from cooking. And there were no obvious traces on the open space leading from here to the surrounding area, and the other party obviously had eliminated his own traces.

"Sakuraye, what should we do now?"

"The next time you should use your usefulness, where is your magical little machine? When you just described your detective experience to me, you proudly exaggerated the power of your machine to me."

Makino suddenly realized, took out the communicator, and began to scan and recover from the ground.

Countless footprints appeared.

Makino swallowed.

"Yingye, let's forget it. It seems that there are many people who have been here. It is impossible for us to track every step of the way."

"I just said that the bones of each person are slightly different in their body. A slight difference in their body structure will lead to the depth of their footprints and the way they walk slightly. You only need to find the corresponding one among all the footprints to identify their direction."

Sakuraye began to search among countless footprints, and various details of those footprints began to penetrate Sakuraye's mind, and her brain quickly analyzed these images.

It took her only half a minute to determine the footprints of the mastermind and the clown, and the detective and the boy walked forward following the footprints.

"This harlequin is really interesting."

The word "harlequin" touched Makino's nerves, and Makino looked at Sakuraye.

"What new discoveries do you have?"

"According to the footprints, this harlequin is dancing and walking. This cannot even be called an extreme performance personality, or even a mental illness."

Makino sneered.

"He's just a lunatic."

The footprints finally came to a house in front of someone else. It can be seen that after a long period of running around, they entered the house for rest. The house was located in a small village, and the village's avenue was filled with sparse villagers.

Makino knocked on the door, but no one responded.

"Are you relatives of this family?"

An old man saw Makino and the others and greeted him in a familiar way.

Makino was about to refuse, but was stopped by Sakuraye.

"Hello, we are distant relatives of this family."

"Oh, you are distant relatives of Zhou Ye and the others."

"Yes, we came to Zhou Ye for some things, but no one responded when knocking on the door. Do they have any big things to do?"

"What big thing does that guy Zhou Ye have to do? He and his wife are just farmers who are just careful and have been farming at home."

Sakuraye nodded.

"Thank you, let's wait here for a while. If he doesn't come back yet, then we will come and visit again next day."

"Okay, okay, okay. Zhou Ye is so blessed with a distant relative as rich as you."

The old man looked at the gorgeous clothes of Makino and his two men, exclaimed and praised, and then shook his head and left.

Makino scratched his head.

"Yingye, you are really smart. Now we can rest assured that this family should be just an ordinary farmer."

"No, after I learned that they were ordinary farmers, I was even more worried."

"Um?"

"Imagine that if a wanted criminal who has been wanted by the government and a Frankenstein who kidnapped a person for experiments, and meets a simple farmer family, what will happen?"

Hearing this, Makino's pupils tightened.

Sakuraye walked to the wall and looked at Makino.

"Makino, you hugged me and climbed over the wall directly. I could already vaguely smell the stench of the corpse."

Makino nodded, and he picked up Sakuraye in the princess hugging position, then jumped up. Makino's upper body was stiff, and he was surprised that Sakuraye's body was so light.

However, after climbing into the courtyard wall, Makino, who almost had nosebleed due to rising blood pressure, suddenly became cold.

There were two people in the yard, one man and one woman. Their faces were painted with harlequins' faces, and their joints were tied with red ropes, and their whole bodies were like puppets to make strange poses. Makino looked at the marks caused by the tightening of the red ropes between their necks, and swallowed his saliva, and it seemed that the person was already cold.

"Have you seen enough, why don't you let me go?"

Sakuraye's cold voice came, pulling Makino back from the sluggishness. Makino put Sakuraye down, Sakuraye walked towards the two men and pressed his hand on the main artery of the two men, and the artery had stopped beating. There was a harlequin card on the two men.

Sakuraye heard the sound of Makino's fists clenched, and the detective looked at the boy.

"Makino, the enemy has declared war on you. This is a difficult enemy with extremely high IQ, so don't be angry like a bull. Calm down and let's see what clues there are on the scene."
