Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 263 Revisiting
Di Renjie took Wang Mang and others to explore Dongliulin Town again.

The deserted Dongliulin Town was shrouded in a terrified atmosphere. With the sound of horseshoes, Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Ruyan and the eighth army head led the guards, and a group of dozens of people slowly drove in.

Immediately Wang Mang pointed to a gate on the east side of the street, and said, "My lord, this is where we found Wu Dahan."

Di Renjie nodded and waved his hand: "Come on, go in and have a look."

Everyone got off their horses and walked towards the gate.

Wang Mang said, "My lord, let me go in and have a look first."

Di Renjie nodded slightly.

With a "squeak" the door was pushed open, and Wang Mang walked in first, searching everything in the room with eagle-like eyes.

Di Renjie followed in, and the people behind him also moved silently, searching around.

At this time, Di Renjie stood in the middle of the room and recalled the situation at that time.

Suddenly he raised his head, his eyes were slightly closed, and the image of his first visit to Dongliulin Town flashed quickly in his mind, and a picture gradually formed.

The room was full of dead bodies whose heads had been chopped off by the officers and soldiers. Wu Dahan stepped into the room, looked around, and walked quickly to the door.

Suddenly, Di Renjie's voice came from outside: "Jing Yang, open the door of this room!"

Wang Mang replied in response.

Surprised, Wu Dahan hurriedly grabbed some blood from the ground and wiped it on his body, before lying down among the corpses.

The door opened and Di Renjie walked in.

Wu Dahan was lying in the pile of dead people, opened his eyes slightly and looked at Di Renjie, when suddenly, a gust of cold air blew on his neck.

He trembled all over, and saw Di Chun's eyes gradually approaching him, he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be dead, "Di Chun" let out a soft sneer, and stood up.

Di Renjie turned around slowly.

Suddenly, Wu Dahan jumped up and stabbed Di Renjie with his knife.

It's just that before the man jumped in front of Di Renjie, a cold light flashed in the hands of Wang Mang who was standing aside, and then there was a "clang" sound, and the dagger in the man's hand flew out.

Wang Mang came after him first, and immediately kicked him hard on the chest. The man flew out and fell to the ground, spitting blood.

Wang Mang looked to the ground, and saw a man covered in blood lying on the ground.

……

Suddenly, Di Renjie's eyes opened, and Wang Mang asked softly, "My lord, what did you think of?"

Di Renjie said: "At that time, we found Wu Dahan here.

That night, he told us.At that time, he was grinding tofu in the back, and the head of the proprietress fell on the grinding wheel. He ran out and the bandits killed people in the house, shouting, "Li Kaigu is here!" '

After shouting, he killed the boss and his son.He picked up a knife and fought them desperately, and cut two of them, and later rushed into a few bandits, he was cut a few times, and he didn't know anything. "

Wang Mang nodded: "That's what he said, what's wrong, my lord?"

Di Renjie continued: "I've always found it very strange. The officers and soldiers under Song Wuji bloodbathed Dongliulin Town and cut off the heads of all the people in the town, but why didn't they cut off Wu Dahan's head after they machete him? ?
If the real purpose of Wang Xiaojie's dispatch of the army was to find the spy Chen Youlong and kill him, but why did Chen Youlong not die? "

Wang Mang didn't speak, he was thinking quietly.

Li Yuanfang, who followed behind Di Renjie, thought quietly.

Suddenly, he raised his head: "Unless this Chen Youlong was not in the town at that time."

Wang Mang shook his head: "If this person was not in the town at that time, then he must have come back after the official army withdrew, otherwise, he would have been killed."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "Not bad."

Di Renjie asked: "If this is the case, when he returns to the town and finds that everyone has been killed, he must be able to think that the officers and soldiers are coming towards him, so what will happen to him?"

Wang Mang said, "He will run away."

Di Renjie nodded: "That's right. Then there won't be those things that happened later?"

Li Yuanfang thought about it, then nodded: "That makes sense. Then, what does your lord mean..."

Wang Mang and Di Renjie looked at each other, and Wang Mang said, "There must be something in this yard that we haven't noticed."

Di Renjie nodded: "Jing Yang is right. I think he must have been hiding in a hidden place in the courtyard and escaped this disaster. He came out to escape when he heard that the officers and soldiers were retreating. However, he was caught by us. stuck in the house."

Li Yuanfang suddenly realized: "It makes sense!"

Di Renjie took a deep breath: "So I think, there must be something we overlooked in this yard, Yuan Fang, Jing Yang, let's look for it carefully."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded slowly.

Di Renjie said, "Let's go and have a look in the yard."

In the courtyard, the big millstone is still in the center of the courtyard.

Zhang Huan, Ruyan and others led the guards to search separately.

Di Renjie's eyes fell on the millstone.

The grinding disc is very large, and the base is built with big stones, each of which is nearly three feet wide.

Di Renjie observed the bottom carefully, and suddenly, his eyes lit up.

There were several deep scratches on the bottom of the big stone on the side of the grinding disc.

Di Renjie squatted down, touched it with his hand, and then stood up: "Yuan Fang, Jing Yang."

Not far away, Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang ran over quickly.

Wang Mang looked at the millstone in front of him, and asked suspiciously, "My lord, have you found anything?"

Di Renjie pointed to the big stone on the side of the millstone and said, "Move this stone away!"

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang stretched out their hands slightly, and with a "bang", the boulder was tilted aside, revealing the door of the one behind.

Everyone couldn't help but exclaimed.

Hearing the sound from here, Ruyan and the head of the Eighth Army also ran over and looked at the hole in surprise.

Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang: "As expected, this is his hiding place!"

Wang Mang looked at the hole in front of him and said, "My lord, you really hit the spot!"

Li Yuanfang also nodded: "My lord expected it. This Chen Youlong hid in this cave when he heard the voice of the officer Tuzhen, and crawled out of here when everything calmed down.

That's why all the people in the town were murdered, and he was the only one who survived. "

Di Renjie said: "Take the fire and break it."

Zhang Huan took out the fire pack and handed it over.

Wang Mang took the torch and said, "My lord, I'll go down and have a look first."

Di Renjie nodded slightly.

Wang Mang blew on the torch, he slowly bent down and got into the hole, and only went down a few steps before his feet landed on the flat ground.

He raised the fire and looked around. It was just a hole that could only accommodate one person. There was a bed with some clothes on the head of the bed, but nothing else.

Wang Mang said to Di Renjie outside: "My lord, come down!"

Soon, Di Renjie and others came down slowly.

Wang Mang walked to the bed, carefully rummaged through these clothes, and suddenly a military uniform caught his eyes.

Wang Mang looked carefully and found a few words written under the skirt: "Yingzhou You".

Wang Mang handed it to Di Renjie, and Di Renjie took a look. He took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

Wang Mang looked at the military uniform thoughtfully.
