Madam let me die

Chapter 342 The Mysterious He Village!
Li Nanke no longer trusts those officials in the capital.

At least for now.

He came to the cell again to meet Lee Dong-hae before going to find the marked spot on the map.

Compared with the leisurely two days ago, Li Donghai at this time is obviously haggard.

He turned his back and stared at the small window on the wall, looking very engrossed.He didn't realize it until Li Nanke came to his side.

"Longing for freedom?" Li Nanke sneered.

Li Donghai smiled and said softly: "Who in this world has real freedom. Even the Supreme Emperor and his old man are actually not free."

Li Nanke was silent.

After a while he asked, "Surprised?"

Li Donghai knew what the other party was talking about, so he couldn't help being in a trance, and sighed: "I didn't expect that the real chess piece is him. This Lao Yu, his acting is really real, and he has fooled so many people."

He looked at Li Nanke and smiled again: "Of course, I couldn't fool you."

"So do you think there is still hope for you to get out?"

Li Nanke looked cold.

Li Donghai wanted to maintain a smile on his face to disguise his heart, but under the burning eyes of the other party, he finally lowered his eyes and said sadly: "It's really hard to get out when things have developed to this point."

"No matter what the situation is, you can't get out!"

Li Nanke said in a deep voice, "Li Donghai, don't you understand now? The Underworld is going to be disbanded, so it doesn't need you pawns at all.

Even if you are still valuable, they will not take the final risk to save you! "

Faced with Li Nanke's scolding, Li Donghai remained silent.

"Think about it."

Li Nanke was too lazy to persuade him, so he wanted to leave.

"In my hut..." Li Donghai finally let go, and said quietly, "The second brick on the top left of the door can be opened, and there is a key inside."

key?

Hearing Li Donghai mention the "thatched cottage", Li Nanke suddenly remembered that when Yu Hongye was sent to monitor the other party, the woman said that Li Donghai would sometimes stay in the thatched cottage for a long time.

At that time, Li Nanke wanted to investigate, but he was too busy and left it behind.

"You hid some incriminating evidence in the treasure chest?"

Li Nanke asked.

The other party hid the key in that kind of place, which means there is a hidden locked box.

And there must be something in the box that Li Donghai can't see.

However, the other party shook his head.

"No." Li Nanke said bitterly, "For a pawn like me, it is impossible for the underworld to let me know too many secrets.

I got that key by chance two years ago.

That was the day when Bai Fenghuang, the daughter of Prince Anping, was attacked. I received a mission to investigate a case of Hongyu in He village. "

"He Village..."

Hearing this name, Li Nanke frowned.

In the previous investigation of Xiaolei Village, he learned that the village was divided into Upper Xiaolei Village and Lower Xiaolei Village 30 years ago.

Later, Xiaxiaolei Village was divided and changed to He Village.

That is the village where Meng Xiaotu's grandma lived.

Five years later, the capital gave policy subsidies to allow the people of He Village to relocate to the city, and then the villagers moved one after another.

Only Meng Xiaotu's grandma didn't enter the city, but she didn't stay in the village either. Instead, she stayed outside Phoenix Mountain.

He Village was completely in ruins.

So it is really strange that Li Donghai went to an abandoned village to investigate the case two years ago.

"Investigate the Hongyu case?" Li Nanke asked.

Li Donghai said: "At that time, the Night Patrol Division found out that Ji Tianhao was going to make a deal with the underworld in Phoenix Mountain, so I secretly reported the letter and prepared to act together with Shangguanguan and the others.

But on the way, I received a message from the underworld, asking me to go to He village to investigate a Hongyu case on the grounds of receiving a report.

It is said that someone in He village has secretly hidden Hongyu.

I searched according to the address provided, and I really found a batch of hidden red rain.

I brought those Red Rains back to the Night Patrol, and accidentally knocked over a box of Red Rains in transit, and found a key in one of the bottles.

I didn't tell anyone about this, and secretly hid the key.

Later that batch of red rain was transported to the capital by the people above. During this period, the underworld has never looked for me.

Until seven days later, the underworld suddenly sent someone to ask me if I had touched the red rain, and I said no.After that, it's over.

So I guess, this key is more important to the underworld.

Maybe it was someone from the capital who responded, but found that the key was missing, so they came to question. "

After listening to Li Donghai's statement, Li Nanke fell into deep thought.

At that time, He Village was a desolate place, and the underworld could look for it by itself, but Li Donghai was sent there.

Obviously, the underworld intends to use the red rain transportation mechanism of the Night Patrol Division to directly deliver the key hidden inside to someone in the capital.

But why didn't they just send it over there?

This is safer.

There is only one reason to think about it.

They have never met the mysterious person in the capital, and there is no way to hand it over in person, so this method must be used.

All their communication is remote.

It can even be guessed that this method of transporting items was proposed by the mysterious person in the capital.It's just that something went wrong in the middle that I didn't expect.

It is also enough to show that the man in the capital attaches great importance to his own disguise.

Identity is even more difficult.

Li Nanke crossed his hands in front of his chest, and said to himself:
"It stands to reason that these confiscated red rains are sent to the capital and destroyed in a unified way. There are very few people who can encounter these red rains, so..."

"So there is a high probability that they are from the Palace or the Night Patrol Department of the capital."

Li Donghai gave the answer.

"Perhaps, it's someone from the palace." A sharp light flashed across Li Nanke's eyes, and he muttered to himself.

Li Donghai hesitated for a while, and said lightly: "Also, I suggest you investigate He Village, maybe you will gain unexpected results."

……

After saying goodbye to Li Donghai, Li Nanke came to the other party's house and found a box in the bricks on the wall of the hut.

There was indeed a key in it.

And when he saw it with his own eyes, Li Nanke realized the uniqueness of this key.

The shape of the key is very unique and exquisite, with a round head and a gossip pattern engraved on it, consisting of two complete rings in black and white.

Four small balls cut from amethyst are inlaid on the end of the key handle, and are also engraved with rune-like symbols, with irregular geometric shapes layered on top of each other.

With just one glance, you can really feel the mystery exuded by this eccentric key.

There is a very noble and very evil feeling.

And after watching it for a while, I seem to be deeply attracted, completely forgetting the passage of time.

Li Nanke tried his best to distinguish those symbols, which vaguely resembled the twelve earthly branches, but also had very weird shapes.

"What the hell is it?"

Li Nanke couldn't figure it out, so he simply put the key in his arms and left the small courtyard.

After that, he went to the archives library to find some old files about He village.But after searching for a long time, I found that all the files related to Xiaolei Village had been torn up!
It looks like someone ripped it off on purpose a long time ago.

At this moment, Li Nanke realized the seriousness of the problem.

At the same time, other doubts hidden in my heart also emerged. Why did the imperial court care so much about such a small mountain village and provide relocation subsidies so thoughtfully?
A good village, if it is said to be abandoned, it will be abandoned.

What happened during this period?
Inexplicably, Li Nanke's back felt cold.

It always feels like there is a huge black hole vortex behind him, trying to swallow him into it.

"Oh shit!"

Li Nanke hammered the bookshelf hard, let out a long breath to relax himself.

He returned the file to the bookshelf and left the document library.

Although there are many doubts, the most important thing right now is to investigate Qi Fengshan, and I don't know what the three points marked on Chu Yunxin's map are.
