Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 68 Strange Things
In the quiet night, the back garden of Liujiazhuang is a dilapidated scene, with strange trees leaning and overgrown with wormwood.

A dilapidated and mottled courtyard stands among strange trees of wormwood, and only a dilapidated two-story building looms in the courtyard.

Suddenly, there was a rustling of footsteps outside the courtyard.

A black shadow came to the gate of the courtyard, and the faint moonlight shone on the face of the black shadow. It was Liu Chali.

Liu Zhali came to the door, took out the key and opened the courtyard door, looked around vigilantly, no one was there, and then entered the courtyard in a blink of an eye.

After Liu Zhali entered the courtyard, he went straight to the small building on the second floor, the door of which was closed tightly.

He tapped the door lightly three times, then knocked on the door frame again, and the door creaked and opened by itself.

After Liu Charlie entered, the door closed with a "click".

How did he know that behind a big tree not far away, a pair of eyes were quietly watching this scene!
The small building was pitch black, with only a little moonlight shining in through the thin window paper.

Liu Zhali walked to the south wall in the dark, stretched out his hand and patted it twice, and the wall turned over with a "bang", revealing a dark room inside.

There was a faint light in the dark room, and he walked in quickly, and the wall closed again with a "bang".

……

In the middle of the night, dark clouds covered the sky.

Liujiazhuang, in Liu Chuanlin's room.

A masked man in black kept tapping on the floor under the desk in the room.

Suddenly, a different sound came from under a floor, and the masked man in black was overjoyed, and slowly opened the floor.

After opening it, there was an oilcloth package hidden under the floor. The masked man in black opened it and saw that there was a book inside.

The masked man in black put the book in his arms and carefully restored the floor.

After all this was done, the masked man in black went up and down and disappeared into the darkness.

The man in black quietly came to an uninhabited forest outside the village, and the man in black whistled.

Suddenly, several purple figures jumped down from the tree, and the man in black handed the book to one of them and said, "Make three identical books as soon as possible!"

The purple-clothed man in the lead said: "Young master, don't worry, the old master has sent us a master craftsman, and we can make it soon."

The masked man in black nodded, stopped talking, and rushed away.

……

In the dead of night, in the mourning hall, the candlelight swayed in the wind, and the coffin was placed horizontally at the west end of the mourning hall.

Under the shrine, the guardian sits on a futon and takes a nap.

Suddenly there was a "quack" sound from behind the mourning hall.

Startled, the guardian opened his eyes.

Just listen to the sound of "quack".

He hurriedly stood up, looked around, and his eyes fell on the coffin at the west end, only to see the coffin lid shaking non-stop and making strange noises.

The spirit guard let out a scream, and fell to his knees with a "plop".

At some point, the mourning hall was filled with misty smoke, and the kneeling body of the guardian suddenly fell down.

After an unknown amount of time, the spirit guard slowly came to his senses and raised his head. There was no more sound around him, and there was complete silence.

……

In the early morning, the morning glow in Cuiping Mountain is all over the sky, and a hundred birds are contending.

On the narrow mountain road, there was a sound of footsteps.

It turned out that Wang Mang, Di Renjie, and Li Yuanfang were walking slowly upwards under the leadership of Liu Da.

Liu was out of breath, and kept reaching out to wipe the sweat from his forehead.

Di Renjie, who was walking at the end, smiled: "Da Liu, are you tired after walking for a while?"

Liu Da turned around and said with a wry smile: "Your Excellency, I don't know, something happened in the mansion last night, and I didn't sleep for a few hours, so I'm a little tired."

Di Renjie asked, "Oh? What happened?"

Liu Da hesitantly said: "Yeah, it's nothing, it's just a family matter."

Di Renjie looked at Liu Da's stammering appearance, and suddenly became suspicious in his heart, his face darkened, and asked: "Liu Da, you don't mean to deceive this pavilion on purpose, do you?"

Liu Da was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "The villain dare not, it's just, just..."

Li Yuanfang asked, "Just what?"

Liu Da looked around and said in a low voice: "Hi! The villain told you, you have to keep it a secret for the villain."

Di Renjie nodded.

Liu Da went on to say: "Last night, Young Master's mourning hall was haunted by ghosts!"

Di Renjie was startled, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other.

From the corner of Di Renjie's eyes, he looked at the expressions of everyone, and he asked, "Oh? What's the trouble?"

Wang Mang was obviously a little listless today, looking a little drowsy. He was looking around casually, and didn't notice Di Renjie's eyes paying attention to everyone's expressions.

Liu Da said mysteriously: "Last night, the guardian heard movement in the coffin."

Di Renjie frowned, thinking quietly.

After walking for a while, Liu Da pointed to the beam in front of him and said, "My lord, the beam in front is the place where the young master fell off the cliff."

Di Renjie nodded, and the group quickened their pace.

Soon, everyone came to Liangtou.

The mountain road at Liangtou is even narrower, and only one person can pass through.

Liu Da pointed to the cliff beside the road and said, "My lord, this is where the young master fell off the cliff."

Di Renjie came over and looked down, and there was indeed an abyss underneath.

Di Renjie sighed: "Da Liu, tell me the situation at that time again."

Liu Da said "yes", and such a picture flashed in Liu Da's mind.

In Cuiping Mountain, on the narrow mountain road, there was a sound of footsteps, it was Liu Chali, Liu Chuanlin and Liu Da.

Liu Da walked in the front, Liu Chali was in the middle, and Liu Chuanlin was in the back.

The morning sun was falling, and Liu Zhali, who was walking in the middle, was already sweating profusely and panting like a cow.

Liu Da looked at the mountain road and said, "My lord, young master, I'll go ahead to explore the road first, you go slowly."

Charlie Liu nodded: "Go!"

After Liu Da left, Liu Chuanlin supported Liu Zhali to lean against a stone wall, and said, "Father, let's rest for a while before leaving."

Liu Zhali waved his hand and said, "Chuanlin, you go in front of me, and I'll just follow behind."

Liu Chuanlin shook his head: "How can this be done? The mountain road is so narrow, and if one stumbles, there is no one to help you. You should rest for a while."

Liu Zhali was very stubborn and insisted: "Oh, I'll do it if I say so! Come on, come in front of me. If it's really not possible, I'll call you."

Liu Chuanlin hesitated: "This..."

Liu Zhali waved his hand, his expression changed, and he shouted, "Go quickly, what is there to worry about?"

Seeing that the old man was angry, Liu Chuanlin could only obey.

He squeezed past Liu Charlie and walked to the middle.

Liu Da walked in front, and he was walking on the mountain road.

"what!"

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream from behind.

Liu Da turned his head abruptly.

"Ah! Chuan Lin"

There was another scream, and it was Liu Charlie's voice.

Liu Da hurriedly turned around and ran towards the way he came.

……

Liu Da sighed to Di Renjie: "Oh, when the villain arrived, the master passed out on the ground and cried for a long time before he woke up. After the master woke up, he realized that the son had slipped and fell off the cliff."

Di Renjie closed his eyes and listened carefully to the situation at that time, countless pictures flashed through his mind quickly.

Suddenly, Di Renjie opened his eyes and asked, "That is to say, you didn't see the young master fall off the cliff?"

Liu Da nodded.

Di Renjie asked, "What happened next?"

Liu Da said: "When I helped the master to run down the mountain, the young master fell so badly that he couldn't even recognize his appearance. What a tragedy! And the old master passed out crying while holding the young master's body. The villain was helpless. I had to leave the master behind, and went back to the village to have someone carry back the young master and the master."

Di Renjie gave Li Yuanfang a wink, Li Yuanfang nodded knowingly, and said to Liu Da: "Liu Da, accompany me to the front."

Liu Da nodded and followed.
