Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 87
After Di Renjie and Zeng Tai left, Wang Mang began to tap on the floor. Although he knew that there should be a hole in the ground, he didn't know which floor it was.

After thinking for a while, Wang Mang said to the servants who were searching around: "Knock every floor carefully to see if there are any clues."

"Yes!"

The yamen servants responded in unison, took out their scabbards, followed Wang Mang's example, and started beating on every floor.

Suddenly, a yamen servant shouted: "My lord, come and take a look, it seems that the floor under this floor is empty."

A gleam of joy flashed in Wang Mang's eyes, and he walked over immediately, tried it, and it was indeed empty.

He praised, and shouted at the yamen servants who were still searching around: "Come here, break this floor."

The yamen servants responded with a "yes" and started smashing.

After a while, the floor was smashed open, revealing the underground cave.

Wang Mang looked down, it was pitch black and he couldn't see anything.

He pondered for a moment, then said to the yamen servant: "Get a long rope, the longer the better, and get a torch."

……

greenhouse.

Liu Zhali's headless body was lying on the ground, and Wu Zuo was doing an autopsy on the side.

There was a sound of footsteps, and Di Renjie, Zeng Tai and Liu Da walked in.

Di Renjie slowly came to the side of Liu Zhali's body, knelt down, grabbed the right hand of the body, looked carefully, and smiled.

Di Renjie stood up and shouted at Liu who was standing in front of the door: "Da Liu."

Liu Da hurried over: "My lord."

Di Renjie asked: "Last night, did the servant on duty hear anything?"

Liu Da shook his head: "Master already asked in the morning, but the person on duty at night didn't hear anything."

Di Renjie nodded: "Go out!"

Di Renjie snorted: "Old fox"

Zeng Tai asked from the side: "Mr. Ge, who are you talking about?"

Di Renjie said, "Liu Chali."

"What? Isn't Charlie Liu dead?"

Zeng Tai exclaimed.

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "When I first surveyed the scene, I found it very strange that the deceased was Liu Zhali, and everyone knew that. Even if Yingyu wanted to kill people, why should he beheaded and taken away? This is unreasonable." things."

Zeng Tai nodded: "You mean, the murderer is not Yingyu."

Di Renjie said firmly: "Absolutely not!"

Zeng Tai looked at Di Renjie suspiciously.

Di Renjie calmed down and said, "Do you still remember the scene?"

Zeng Tai nodded.

Di Renjie recalled: "The corpse was lying on the bed with the quilt lifted. There is only one explanation for this situation, that is, the deceased discovered the murderer before he died, so he lifted the quilt and tried to escape."

Zeng Tai asked: "Master Ge, could it be opened by the murderer?"

Di Renjie asked back: "If you were a murderer and you wanted to decapitate someone, would you lift the quilt?"

Zeng Tai came to his senses, and said in embarrassment: "The humble job is dull!"

Di Renjie said: "Since Liu Zhali has time to lift the quilt, why doesn't he have time to shout for help?"

Zeng Tai thought for a while and said, "Could it be that the servant didn't hear it?"

Di Renjie asked: "There is only one wall between Liu Zhali's room and the servant's room. Why can't you hear me calling for help?"

Zeng Tai was confused, and asked suspiciously: "What does Ge Lao mean?"

Di Renjie said: "There is only one explanation, that is, he put another person's body on the bed, left in a hurry, and forgot to cover the quilt."

Zeng Tai became even more puzzled, and asked, "Another person? I'm confused by my humble job!"

Di Renjie strode up to the headless corpse, grabbed the dead man's right hand, and said, "The dead man's hands were dark, and the nails were covered with black mud. Such hands would definitely not belong to a pampered man like Liu Chali." Outsiders!"

Zeng Tai finally understood, and said in shock, "You, you mean that this corpse is not Liu Chali."

Di Renjie said firmly: "Absolutely not!"

The voice just fell.

A yamen servant ran over and said out of breath: "My lord, my lord, my uncle found the secret passage in the small building, and he asked me to ask the two lords to check it out."

Di Renjie asked in surprise: "Secret way?"

The yamen servant nodded: "Yes, the underground is pitch black, and I can't see anything."

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and Di Renjie said, "Go, let's have a look."

After Di Renjie and Zeng Tai came to the small building, a group of yamen servants surrounded a dark hole and watched.

Di Renjie looked around, but did not find Wang Mang, and asked, "Where's Jing Yang?"

A police chief took a step forward: "My lord, my uncle said he was afraid that General Li would be in danger, so he went down first."

Di Renjie frowned and asked, "He's the only one?"

The chief of the police said: "Yes, he won't let the little ones go down, saying it's dangerous."

Di Renjie murmured: "Dangerous!"

Di Renjie lowered his head to look at the dark hole in the ground, pondered for a while, and said, "Tell me everything that happened after we left!"

The chief of the police responded softly: "Yes, my lord, the matter is like this..."

……

Li Yuanfang groped forward in the cave. Suddenly, a corner appeared in front of him. He quickened his pace and walked over.

The rock wall in front of me was sunken, and the outside was surrounded by wooden fences, like a prison cell, and the fence door was locked with iron chains and copper locks.

In the cell, a woman dressed in black and wearing a red scarf was lying facing the wall.

It looks like Yingyu is dressed up!
Li Yuanfang split the iron chain and copper lock with a knife, opened the fence gate, and walked in slowly, calling softly: "Madam, Madam, is this Madam Yingyu?"

no answer.

The man remained motionless.

Li Yuanfang looked around vigilantly, but there was no movement around.

Li Yuanfang walked to her side, squatted down slowly, and said softly: "Madam Yingyu, it's me, Li Yuanfang."

no answer.

Li Yuanfang stretched out his hand and gently moved her body. The moment her body turned around, Li Yuanfang saw clearly that it was a man's face!

The man jumped up like lightning, and a cold light flashed, heading straight for Li Yuanfang's throat.

With a sound of "pushing", the torch in Li Yuanfang's hand went out.

In a crisis, Li Yuanfang lay down on an iron bridge and escaped the unexpected knife.

This person took advantage of the situation and jumped up, with a flick of his wrist, he swung the knife in his hand, and went straight for Li Yuanfang's face, and Li Yuanfang couldn't dodge this time.

At this critical moment, Li Yuanfang twisted her waist suddenly, her body evenly moved two feet to the left, and the knife struck Li Yuanfang's clothes.

With a sound of "Boom!", the knife in the man's hand slashed on the stone, bursting out a string of sparks.

Li Yuanfang took the opportunity to turn her body over, the man was startled suddenly, and just wanted to turn around.

Li Yuanfang pressed his fingers on the mechanism on the handle of the knife, and the blade flew out. With a sound of "Poof!", the blade shot into the man's back.

There was another "poof!", and Li Yuanfang's blade came back.

At this time, this talent slowly fell to the ground, his eyes widened, and he looked at the wound on his chest in disbelief.
