This is a quite large courtyard. There is only one row of houses in the yard. The houses are made of stones and fit together perfectly.A wide and thick wooden door is made of iron.Three more locks were added to it.

There are pointed arrows on the walls of the courtyard.

There were also three large dogs at the scene.As soon as Bai Wan'er and others came in, they put on an attack stance.Seeing Lu Ziyi waving, he walked aside and lay down.

The warehouse is an important place and the guards are very strict.

"This is the warehouse of the escort agency. The goods for each escort are stored in the warehouse. The missing Ding Da is the steward of the warehouse and has been working for more than ten years."

Lu Ziyi introduced it while Bai Wan'er looked at it.

"Yesterday I escorted the escort to the escort office. After the goods were counted, they were handed over to Ding Da to arrange for storage. The owner of the goods will come to pick up the goods in a few days."

"For a long time, I didn't see Ding Da come to report. I thought he hadn't finished his meal yet. I went to the warehouse to look for him, but he didn't see Ding Da. The clerk said that Ding Da went into the warehouse and didn't come out. When I went in, there was no sign of Ding Da. It's incredible. ”

When Bai Wan'er entered the warehouse, she knew why Lu Ziyi said it was unbelievable that Ding Da disappeared.

Although the warehouse is quite large, it has several compartments.But apart from the entrance door, there is no entrance or exit, not even a small window for ventilation.

Looking up, although the roof beams are covered with tiles, there is a layer of finely woven mesh ropes spread under the tiles.

It is impossible for an ordinary person to climb such a high roof beam and cut the rope to get out.

Although it was daytime, Lu Ziyi still lit the candlestick on the wall, otherwise the light would be too dark.

This is a secret room.

Is it a secret room murder case this time?Will there be an escape room?

Bai Wan'er felt that her hands and feet were a little cold standing in the warehouse where the air was not well circulated.

Wu Wenxuan asked: "Ding Da really entered the warehouse and didn't go out?"

"At least three guys saw it with their own eyes. After moving the things in, they waited outside, waiting for Ding Da to check and settle down before locking the door. But they didn't see Ding Da come out for a long time. When they came in to look, they found that Ding Da was missing. .”

"Everyone carefully searched every corner of the warehouse, inside and outside, only to find that there was no one alive or dead in Ding Da. They reported the case, but the government officials came to investigate and found no results."

Bai Wan'er turned around and asked, "Didn't the guys outside hear anything?"

Lu Ziyi said helplessly: "The three guys were chatting outside and didn't pay attention."

Wu Wenxuan seemed casual, but in fact he knocked on the wall carefully.

Bai Wan'er let go of her consciousness and scanned everything inside and out.I even took the time to step on the ground with the soles of my feet to make sure there was no hidden door or anything like it.

Wu Wenxuan said: "The escort agency's warehouse is very solid and there are no defects."

Lu Ziyi said: "It has been more than 60 years since my grandfather started the escort agency. There has never been a single mistake in the warehouse. So this thing is strange."

Bai Wan'er has a lot of cultivation and her five senses are much more sensitive.Suddenly I saw a vague black shadow in the corner, so I walked over and took a closer look.

Next to the cargo box in the corner, there was a very faint shadow on the ground. It looked like a person lying on the ground, with half of it still on the cargo box.

Under the lighting conditions of the warehouse, ordinary people would never be able to find it.

Bai Wan'er summoned Wu Wenxuan and Lu Ziyi, but they hadn't seen any clues yet.Bai Wan'er waved her hand, and a bright light flashed from her fingertips.

Under strong light, a shadow can be seen on the ground, which contrasts with the surrounding ground.

Bai Wan'er looked at it carefully and asked, "Mr. Lu, has this shadow existed in the past?"

Lu Ziyi went out to make inquiries and came back and said: "On weekdays, lights are lit during the day when the warehouse is being moved. No one has ever noticed it, but the warehouse is always cleaned very carefully, and no one has ever mentioned such a discovery." Bai Wan'er frowned and looked. He looked around: "Are the goods on this wall brought back by Mr. Lu this time?"

Lu Ziyi pointed next to the shadow: "These are the goods that will be escorted this time." Then he pointed to the compartment next to him: "Those are the goods that will be transported next time. Different escorts, the goods are piled up. Different places. Not mixed up."

Seeing Bai Wan'er lowering her head and looking at the shadow, Wu Wenxuan asked, "I smell a strong smell of medicine. Is it the medicinal materials Mr. Lu is escorting this time?"

"The escort on this trip set off from Ding'an Mansion, and the escorts are all nourishing medicinal materials."

"No other goods?"

Lu Ziyi said: "There is a piece of goods entrusted by Jubaozhai Branch of Anding Prefecture. The thing is placed in a box, and the box is placed in the box."

"It seems like this thing is extraordinary." Bai Wan'er and Wu Wenxuan looked at each other.

"The shopkeeper of Jubaozhai repeatedly warned that the box should not be tampered with, let alone opened. The money given was three times the usual escort money. So we were extra careful."

Bai Wan'er asked: "Who is this object consigned to?"

"The strange thing is that the shopkeeper of Jubaozhai didn't say to whom the goods would be delivered. He just said that when it reaches Hejian Mansion, someone will naturally come to the Escort Bureau to get it."

"Has anyone come to fetch it?"

"No, maybe I missed it accidentally. Someone came to inquire about it a few days ago."

"Why did you miss it?"

"We usually travel from Anding Prefecture to Hejian Prefecture for about 20 days. This time we rescued the wife of Hejian Prefecture Chief Shi, and then encountered robbers and the escort was injured. It was delayed for six or seven days. It should be Missed it. So I told the guys to keep an eye out for that person."

Bai Wan'er rolled her eyes: "Master, can you let us take a look at that box?"

Lu Ziyi thought for a while and nodded in agreement.He stepped on the cargo and climbed up to the first floor, then came down holding a wooden box from the top of the cargo.

"Chang Bai, this is the item entrusted by Jubaozhai."

Lu Ziyi put the wooden box on the ground and frowned when he looked at it.

There was originally a long piece of talisman paper attached to the wooden box, but it actually became warped and torn.

"do not move"

Bai Wan'er stopped Lu Ziyi and prevented him from touching the talisman paper.

"The things in the box are very strange. I'm afraid Ding Da was harmed by this thing."

Lu Ziyi's face turned pale: "Why did the immortal say this? Isn't Ding Da missing? Is he dead?"

Bai Wan'er pointed at the goods piled along the wall: "This is Wan'er's speculation. These are the goods that Young Master is escorting this time. Ding Da has to sort out the goods. This box should be taken up last and placed on the top of the goods. .”

Bai Wan'er pointed to the shadow on the ground: "If Ding accidentally broke the talisman on the box and touched the things in the box, it should have landed in this position."

"But...but there are only very faint shadows here. Where is the body of someone..." Lu Ziyi couldn't understand.

Bai Wan'er waved her hand, and a talisman sealed the box again.

"Wan'er can feel that the things in the box are extraordinary. I'm afraid Ding Da was hit hard by the magic weapon inside, which made him become like this in an instant."

Wu Wenxuan frowned: "Fellow Daoist Bai, what magic weapon can turn a person into this instantly?"
