Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 489 Weird way of dying

Zeng Tai also followed Di Renjie's gaze to the ground, he was so surprised that he couldn't close his mouth: "Master, this, this is a dead end. Moreover, the ruts on the ground have disappeared. Could it be that these people can't fly?"

Di Renjie didn't speak, his eyes searched the surrounding cliffs.

Suddenly, a square pattern faintly appeared on the cliff rising abruptly from the front.

Di Renjie hurriedly picked up the belt for comparison. Sure enough, there was a square embroidered on the first row of the belt, with an oval shaped like an eye in the center of the oval, and a glowing circle embroidered in the center of the oval, which looked like the sun.

Di Renjie looked around for the oval and sun marks, but he was disappointed.

The mountain walls on all sides are empty except for a square mark.

Di Renjie closed his eyes and thought for a long time, he opened his eyes and raised his head and said to Zeng Tai: "Zeng Tai, have you seen the square mark on the stone wall?"

Zeng Tai followed the direction of Di Renjie's finger and looked towards the front cliff, and he saw the mark.

Di Renjie said: "You order the sergeant to climb to the top of the cliff and press the mark hard."

Zeng Tai nodded, turned around and called several sergeants, and said a few words in a low voice.

Several sergeants took off their outer armor, the captain brought the rope, and everyone quickly came to the cliff and built a ladder. The top sergeant climbed the protruding rock and approached the square mark, and he stretched out his hand and pressed desperately.

There was no movement.

Zeng Tai below shouted: "Turn harder!"

The sergeant pressed hard again, but there was still no response from the stone wall.

Zeng Tai said: "Master, there is no movement."

Di Renjie thought for a while and said, "Let them come down."

Zeng Tai shouted loudly: "Come down!"

The sergeant on the cliff tied his rope to a protruding small tree, and quickly slipped down along the rope.

Di Renjie looked at the belt in his hand and murmured, "What's going on?"

Zeng Tai said: "Master, this belt was given to you by that little girl Mei Xiang before she died, right?"

Di Renjie nodded and said: "Yes. As you can see, two sets of different patterns are embroidered on the upper and lower rows of the belt. The results of several experiments have proved that the function of this belt is to unlock secret doors, secret passages and Ambush by various agencies."

Zeng Tai said: "Yes, last night in the castle we found the gate of the underground hall according to the instructions of the belt."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Yes. But how to explain the current situation? A square pattern..."

He pointed to the pattern on the cliff: "It's here. But the oval embedded in a square and the sun-like pattern embroidered on the belt did not appear. If we say, these two patterns are not engraved here Yes, so what do they mean?"

Zeng Tai looked at the mark on his belt, raised his head and looked around.

There is no longer any display on the cliffs on all sides.

Zeng Tai said: "Master, I think this square mark should have the same function as those in the castle, it is a mechanism to open the secret door in the valley."

Di Renjie said: "Yes, I think so too. If there is no road in this valley, where will the carriages loaded with wages go after arriving here? You just saw that there are no ruts on the ground. Isn't it strange?"

Zeng Tai asked: "Master, what should we do now?"

Di Renjie pondered for a moment: "Go back to the castle first and then do the district office."

……

On the other side, outside the Yibo Mansion.

Li Yuanfang just walked out, followed by Wang Mang.

Li Yuanfang stopped in her tracks: "Who?"

"it's me!"

Wang Mang said.

Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's Jing Yang, by the way, what happened after I fell into a coma?"

Wang Mang said: "I wanted to make a move, but then I thought about it, I might as well see who set the trap first, but the person who set the trap didn't see it, but Madam Weier appeared instead."

Li Yuanfang understood: "It seems that Madam saved me."

Wang Mang nodded and shook his head.

Li Yuanfang wondered: "Jing Yang, what's wrong with you?"

Wang Mang said: "It's just that a very strange thing happened later. After Madam found out about you, she said a few words to the servant girl, and then the servant girl left."

Li Yuanfang raised his head: "You mean, the maid was ordered to leave by Madam?"

Wang Mang nodded: "Yes, Wang Qiang came later, which is very strange!"

Li Yuanfang murmured: "Did Madam lie to me?"

Wang Mang shook his head: "Not necessarily, there is another situation, that is, there is something wrong with that maid."

Li Yuanfang nodded heavily.

Wang Mang said: "Okay, let's go back first, one thing is for sure, that is, Wang Qiang will leave the city soon."

Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's the only way, I hope Di Chun and the others are safe and sound!"

Wang Mang sighed: "It's easy to deal with Brother Wang Qiang, we must contact the adults as soon as possible,"

……

The inside of the castle was quiet, without a single sound. The sunlight came in through the window lattice, but it gave off an almost yellowish color.

Even though it was noon, it was still eerie.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai led the sergeants of the city defense battalion back to the hall, and saw several sergeants on duty sitting by the wall with smiles on their faces and motionless, looking very strange.

Di Renjie looked at the sergeant sitting on the ground strangely, when the officer behind him yelled sharply: "Master Inspector is here, don't get up yet!"

Several sitting sergeants were still smiling and motionless.

Di Renjie and Zeng Tai looked at each other, and Zeng Tai walked up to a sergeant and asked, "Is there any movement here after the army left last night?"

no answer.

The sergeant still looked at Zeng Tai with a smile on his face.

Zeng Tai frowned and said, "Benzhou is asking you something."

The sergeant remained unresponsive.

The officer behind him couldn't bear it any longer, he rushed forward, grabbed the sergeant's clothes and shouted, "What's the matter with you? Lord Inspector is talking to you..."

Suddenly Di Renjie shouted: "Stop!"

The officer was startled, and quickly let go of his hand.

The sergeant's body immediately collapsed to the ground.

Di Renjie took a step forward and put his hand towards his nose, he was already out of breath.

Di Renjie said tremblingly, "He's dead."

Zeng Tai exclaimed: "What? Dead, dead?"

He hastily squatted down, probed his nose, and immediately gasped.

Di Renjie walked quickly to several other sergeants and inspected them one by one.

Zeng Tai hurriedly asked: "Men, how is it?"

Di Renjie sighed, and said softly, "They're all dead."

Zeng Tai was so shocked that he took two steps back, and the officers on the side and the surrounding sergeants exclaimed.

Di Renjie carefully examined the bodies, hair and eyes of the soldiers.

Zeng Tai stammered: "His, their faces, how come they look like living people!"
