Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 637 Finally arrived in Xuyi
As the sky was getting brighter, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Xiao Qing and a group of people started on the road.

A small boat sailed slowly on the lake with its lights on.

Peng Chun lay motionless in the cabin.

Sitting beside him, Xiao Qing fed him the last bit of soup in the medicine bowl.

Pang Si clapped his hands aside.

Wang Mang stood on the deck, looking at Xuyi County not far away.

Li Yuanfang sat motionless on the bow deck, and Di Renjie's face flashed in his mind again.

He sighed, shook his head vigorously, and said softly: "Who are you, who are you?"

Behind him, Wang Mang took two steps forward, went to sit beside him and said, "Are you stupid again?"

Li Yuanfang turned her head, sighed and said, "Shuisheng, that old man's face always appears in my mind, I think he must be very important to me."

Wang Mang nodded: "Shuimu, isn't the old man you're talking about a little fat, with five willows and long beards, and a kind smile?"

Li Yuanfang turned around abruptly: "Do you know him?"

Wang Mang took a deep breath and nodded slightly: "Yes, I thought of him too."

Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang in surprise: "Could it be that we really knew each other before?"

Wang Mang nodded, but did not speak.

Li Yuanfang's eyes were fixed on Wang Mang: "Who is he to me?"

Wang Mang sighed slightly: "It's better for you not to know now, when your memory recovers, you will naturally know."

Li Yuanfang looked at Wang Mang, with a flash of pain in his eyes: "Who are you? Who am I?"

Wang Mang sighed slightly: "I can only say that our enemies are very powerful, and now if we reveal our identities, we will definitely die without a burial place."

"Okay, don't think about it, if you have time to think about it, you might as well recover a few more skills!"

Wang Mang patted him on the shoulder.

Li Yuanfang opened his mouth, but he didn't say anything after all.

At this time, Xiaoqing got out of the cabin, and he smiled and said, "What are you talking about?"

Wang Mang smiled: "It's nothing, just chatting casually."

Xiaoqing snorted softly: "I heard it, what are you talking about life and death, what are you talking about?"

Wang Mang shook his head slightly, and sighed, "It's easy to die, but hard to live!"

Xiao Qing glared at him and said, "You can't die."

Wang Mang said calmly, "I don't want to die either."

Xiaoqing said quietly: "You are dead, how lonely I am."

Saying that, he took Wang Mang's arm and leaned his head lightly on his shoulder.

Wang Mang glanced at Li Yuanfang, but Li Yuanfang didn't seem to see it, his gaze was looking at the river in the distance, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Wang Mang hesitated for a moment and pulled his arm out.

Xiaoqing grabbed his arm and said, "Oh, you're stingy! It doesn't matter if you let me lean on you."

Wang Mang shook his head helplessly: "Okay, we are going to Xuyi soon, let's find an inn first."

Xiao Qing nodded.

……

It was already bright, and the staff of Tongya Inn, the largest inn in Xuyi city, carried a bucket of water across the courtyard with a rag on his shoulders, and walked towards the small building opposite.

After Di Renjie finished washing, he put the towel on the basin rack, picked up the Hu clothes on the hanger next to him, put them on, walked to the door and opened the door.

He took a deep breath, and the morning dew immediately made his mind much clearer.

Suddenly, there was a shrill scream from the small building opposite.

Di Renjie looked up in surprise.

In the corridor on the second floor of the small building, the shop clerk rushed out from a guest room, his face was pale, trembling all over, and he shouted sharply: "Hurry up, come quickly! Someone is dead!"

Di Renjie was shocked, and ran towards the small building with his robe lifted.

The clerk stood by the railing of the corridor, trembling all over.

Di Renjie rushed up and asked, "Dude, what's the matter?"

The guy's face was ashen, and he stammered: "First, sir, you, you go in and have a look..."

Di Renjie was taken aback, and quickly walked into the guest room next to the clerk.

The scene in the guest room surprised Di Renjie.

A man and a woman lay naked on the couch, their eyes turned white, motionless, they had been dead for a long time.

The ground next to the couch was stained with blood.

Di Renjie walked slowly to the side of the couch, and looked intently at the deceased on the couch.

I saw the man wearing a nightgown, with his chest half exposed, lying on the side of the couch. There was a deep incision on his chest, and the blood had already solidified.

The woman was wearing a chest-to-breast skirt, and she was lying on the couch. There was also a knife cut on the back, which penetrated into the skin, and the blood had dried.

The bedding on the couch was in a mess, and the wound near the deceased was stained with blood.

Di Renjie looked at the ground again, and saw two pools of blood beside the couch, and several bloody footprints beside the blood.

Di Renjie's gaze followed the direction of the bloody footprints. There were seven or eight footprints going straight to the door.

Di Renjie followed the footprints to the door, and the door of the special room was closed. Sure enough, there was a blurred bloody handprint on the door.

There was a rush of footsteps outside, and Zeng Tai and the others rushed to the door. When they saw Di Renjie, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Zeng Tai said: "Master, you are here, you have frightened us!"

Di Renjie raised his head and asked strangely: "What?"

Zeng Tai said: "Just now we heard a scream, we ran out and saw the shop assistant standing upstairs, your door was open.

We went in and saw that you were not in the room, so I thought, I thought..."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I thought something happened to me, didn't you?"

Zeng Tai nodded: "Yes!"

At this time, he noticed the situation in the house, and said in surprise, "Why, teacher, a murder happened here?"

Di Renjie said: "Everyone stay in front of the door and don't move around."

Everyone stopped.

Di Renjie looked up to the corridor outside the room. Sure enough, bloody footprints appeared again. Di Renjie hurried out of the house and walked forward along the bloody footprints. The footprints stopped in front of the door of the fourth guest room.

Di Renjie raised his head and shouted to the store clerk: "Man, open the door of this room."

The man heard the sound and said, "First, sir, no one has ever lived in this room."

Di Renjie said: "Just open it!"

The man stretched out his hand and pushed the door open, and then there was another scream.

Zeng Tai and Lu Jiying hurried over, gathered around the door and looked inside.

The stools and tables in the room were turned into a mess.

The guy was stunned and said: "This, this, what's going on..."

Di Renjie took a deep breath and walked slowly into the room.

I saw the tables and chairs overturned on the ground, the flower stand fell to the ground, the flower pots had been smashed to pieces, and a bloody steel knife was thrown in front of the bed.

Di Renjie walked over, knelt down and carefully inspected the steel knife on the ground. The steel knife was an ear knife used by ordinary people for cutting vegetables. There was a bloody fingerprint on the handle of the knife, and there were a few drops of coagulated blood beside the steel knife.

He stood up slowly, looking at the bed again.

The quilt on the couch was neatly folded, and there was a pool of blood on the side of the couch.

Di Renjie turned around, his eyes searching for clues in the room.

Suddenly, his eyes were attracted by a little green beside the broken flowerpot.

He immediately walked to the flowerpot, knelt down and looked intently.

It's a green thing pressed under the remains of the pot.

Di Renjie stretched out his hand carefully and took it out.

It was a circular jade ring with a little blood on it.

Di Renjie picked up the ring and walked to the window, and looked carefully under the sunlight, only to see that there were many small dots on the surface of the ring, like pockmarks.

Di Renjie let out a long breath, thinking quietly.

Zeng Tai walked in and said softly, "Men, what's going on?"

Di Renjie shook his head slowly and said, "This case is very strange."

Saying that, put the jade ring back to its original place, and walked out the door.
