After the fiancé was cut off by the county owner

Chapter 52
After returning to Dali Temple from Qingxu Temple, Yan Li found all the files of the woman's disappearance in the past year, and found something after looking at it.

He closed the file and immediately went to meet Wu Han.

"My son, I suspect that the disappearance of A-tan and the princess is related to the case of the female corpse in red that we investigated earlier."

Yan Li said: "I checked the case files of the missing women in Kyoto for nearly a year. Among them, the county masters of Yong'an County, County Ling, and County Qingming were all killed after they disappeared, and they were all noble daughters of the royal family."

After hearing this, Wu Han's expression became serious, "So you suspect that the person who kidnapped Princess Qingyang and Miss Qi is the murderer who killed the ladies?"

Although Yan Li's words are quite reasonable, there are still doubts, "Miss Qi is not a member of the royal family, why did the murderer take her as well?"

Yan Li guessed: "I think it's because A-Tan and the princess slept together and made the same attire, so they were taken away together."

He looked at Wu Han, "If you can take away two living people in Changxing Palace, there must be more than one murderer."

Wu Han nodded, there must be a murderer inside the palace.

The two discussed and continued to investigate the case in two ways. Yan Li went to Dongling Palace and Minshan Palace to inquire about the information of the two noble girls before they were killed, while Wu Han took people to search Qingxu Temple.

At this time, Qi Tanying and Princess Qingyang, who were still trapped in the tunnel, almost exhausted their physical strength but failed to find the exit. After going around in a circle, they returned to the stone room.

The two of them didn't believe in evil, and tried two more times, returning to the stone room each time.

"Are we really unable to get out?" Princess Qingyang was about to collapse, "Who is trying to kill me? I don't want to die here."

Qi Tanying's condition was not much better than Princess Qingyang's, but she was still trying to maintain her composure.She sat down against the wall, closed her eyes and tried to sort out her confused thoughts.

After they left the stone room, they walked straight along the road without any forks in the middle, but finally returned to the stone room. She suspected that the exit was inside the stone room, and the corridor was only used to confuse people.

Thinking of this, she began to observe the stone room carefully.The furnishings in the stone interior are very simple, except for the stone platform in the middle, there are only niches on the wall for placing candlesticks.

The reason why she firmly believed that the exit was in the stone room was also because the candle flames burned more vigorously in the stone room. When they left the stone room with the candlesticks in hand, the flames of the candle flames became smaller and smaller.

There should be vents in the stone chamber.

Qi Tanying first checked the alcove, and found that there was nothing special about the alcove, it should only be used to place candlesticks.

Then she went to check the stone platform.The stone platform is placed in the middle of the stone room, and it looks like it was carved from a whole huge stone.

Qi Tanying walked around the stone platform, and then carefully touched the edge of the stone platform with her hand.

Still nothing found.

She was not discouraged, and she still remembered that her father once said that if a skilled craftsman wants to make a seamless mechanism, he must have the ability to distinguish the real from the fake.

At this time, Princess Qingyang asked her aloud: "Do you think we can still go out?"

She really didn't want to stay here for a moment. She grew up as a noble and precious person since she was a child. Even when she escaped from the Nanzhao Palace, she was surrounded by maidservants and guards to protect her. How could she have suffered such hardships.

Qi Tanying glanced at her, "If you don't want to die here, you can find an agency with me."

Princess Qingyang was stunned for a moment when he heard the words, and after realizing it, he hurriedly asked: "You mean, as long as we find the mechanism, we can go out?"

Qi Tanying didn't answer, but Princess Qingyang regarded her as acquiescing.

The two began to search for the mechanism in the stone room. Every brick, every corner, and even every gap in the stone room were spared, but they still found nothing in the end.

Princess Qingyang couldn't take it anymore, angrily took down the candle holder from the alcove, and smashed it hard at the stone platform. Before Qi Tanying could stop it, she heard a blunt sound coming from the stone room, and then the candle went out.

"Ah!" Princess Qingyang's sharp and piercing cry came from next to her ear again.

Qi Tanying shouted: "Shut up if you don't want to die."

Princess Qingyang tremblingly said: "Can you give me a pull, my legs are weak."

Qi Tanying was a little impatient: "If your legs are weak, just stay where you are, and I still need to find an agency."

After finishing speaking, he looked around, his eyes were pitch black, and he couldn't see anything.Qi Tanying moved to the stone platform step by step based on her previous memory. She felt that the mechanism of the stone room was probably on this stone platform.

"Ah..." Princess Qingyang's scream sounded for the fourth time in the stone room, and Qi Tanying couldn't bear it anymore, and couldn't help shouting at her: "Can't you just be dumb for a while?"

Princess Qingyang was about to cry, "There are a pair of green eyes...eyes."

After hearing this, Qi Tanying was also a little apprehensive, but still pretended to be calm, "What nonsense, you don't have green eyes, you must be dazzled."

However, he still walked slowly to Princess Qingyang's side.

Sensing her coming, Princess Qingyang immediately hugged her arm tightly, "I really don't have any vision, if you don't believe me, see for yourself."

Qi Tanying looked in the direction she said, and saw that there were indeed two green light spots flickering in front of her, which looked very strange in the dark environment.

Qi Tanying no longer cared about being afraid, now there was no candle in the stone room, and no one came to save them, if they didn't save themselves, they would be dead.

So she boldly moved in the direction of the green dot, dragging behind her a Princess Qingyang who refused to let go, and when she reached the green dot, she was already out of breath.

After resting for a while, she pulled out the hairpin from her head and threw it towards the green dot. After a crisp sound, the hairpin fell to the ground, and the green dot remained unchanged.

After hesitating for a moment, she stretched out her hand to touch the green dot, but her hand felt slippery and soft, and she immediately retracted her hand in shock.Just when she was at a loss, she suddenly heard a "click".

Then I heard Princess Qingyang panicked: "Something fell on my face." After speaking, he touched it with his hand, "It seems to be water. But where did the water come from?"

Qi Tanying remembered that she had seen moss in the stone room, "It's dark and humid here, and it's normal for water to drip."

Princess Qingyang shook her head, "I don't think it's normal at all." She said, "I have an ominous premonition that we might not be able to get out."

As soon as she finished speaking, a gust of cold wind suddenly blew into the stone room, followed by the sound of rushing water.Qi Tanying couldn't help but thump in her heart, could this stone room really be their burial place?

At this time, there was a cold feeling under the feet, and after touching it, I found that the shoes were soaked in water.Immediately said: "Go to the stone platform."

Princess Qingyang also noticed something was wrong, and quickly followed Qi Tanying to the stone platform.The two huddled together on the stone platform, and the sound of the water in the stone room became louder and louder, and one could tell that the water was coming in all directions without a candle.
