Chapter 1778 Extra Story: Whose Boy (9)
Back at the temporary hospital, Hongdou calmed down and continued with the day's medical consultation, taking advantage of her busyness to keep herself from thinking about it.
Around noon, there were suddenly many more officers and soldiers on the street. Unlike the yamen servants who came out to maintain order in the past, these people wore swords on their waists, and they were full of murderous aura, and searched house to house along the street.
People passing by couldn't help backing away, shutting their mouths and not daring to speak.
"Have you ever seen this person, who is about this tall? Or have you noticed a stranger in the city in the past two days?" The medical center was not spared, officers and soldiers rushed in, holding a portrait in their hands, and asked Side gestures, sharp eyes.
Arriving in front of Hongdou, Hongdou could clearly see the portrait unfolded in front of her, and her eyes froze almost invisible under the slender eyelashes.
The portrait depicts a man masked in a black scarf, but at first glance, it is actually not obvious.
But the pair of eyes exposed outside the black scarf were as sharp as a falcon.
It is Dan Fengyan.
Hongdou shook her head, "I've never seen it before."
"He has injuries, and it is very likely that he came to the medical clinic for treatment. Think about it carefully. There are so many people coming and going in and out of the medical clinic every day, have you missed it?" The officers and soldiers frowned, their voices stern.
"Your Excellency also knows that there are so many people coming and going in and out of the medical center every day. I am just a doctor, and I have no time to pay attention to other things when I focus on the patients in front of me. But I have the impression of everyone who has been treated in my mind. I have never seen this person before."
The people waiting for the doctor also echoed Hongdou, "Master, we have never seen it before. Wujiang County said that the novel is not big, and the neighbors in the city can't see each other even if they don't know each other. When strangers show up, we'll know."
"Officer, what did this man do? If we see anything suspicious later, we will report it to the official immediately."
The officers and soldiers glanced at everyone, "This man is an assassin who intends to assassinate the emperor. If he sees it, he must report it. Those who do not report or harbor criminals will be punished with the same crime!"
The officers and soldiers left and continued to search down, while the hospital was bombarded by the news they heard, and the people speculated about the identity of the assassin.
Soon someone mentioned Tianqi.
"Yesterday, when Miss Acacia fainted, a man wearing a mask took her to the hospital. I was in the hospital over there at the time, and I happened to see him. That person is a stranger, right?"
"Hey, I remembered. I haven't seen that person before. But he helped Miss Acacia. If the assassin is so vicious, wouldn't he just help others?"
"How can this be said for sure? The bad guys still have engravings on their foreheads? In the past, Jiang Yang's bandit gave charity to beggars. Is he a good guy?"
Hongdou's heart felt tense, this was what she was afraid of.
Yesterday he entered the hospital, and because of her, he entered the inn, and he followed her along a long street early this morning, and his appearance has already been seen by countless people.
Wearing a mask is such a conspicuous sign, but anyone who has seen it cannot fail to remember it, and someone will always tell the officers and soldiers.
For the rest of the time, she didn't have the heart to see a doctor at all. Finally, around noon, Hong Dou found an excuse to leave the clinic and immediately looked for someone in the streets and alleys.
Not long after they separated, officers and soldiers searched. She didn't know if he had left Wujiang County. If he hadn't, according to the current level of martial law on the street, he couldn't get out at all.
She was flustered.
For a person she met by chance, she didn't know where her worries about him came from.
Time passed slowly, and there were more and more people on the street, and people and officers and soldiers interspersed from time to time. The figure of the girl in white flashed in from time to time, going in and out of the shops on the street, and when she came out, she was carrying all kinds of things she bought.
