Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 778
Di Renjie smiled and said, "It seems that both of you don't have a good impression of her..."

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other and nodded.

At this time, Di Renjie looked at Wang Mang: "Jing Yang, how do you feel?"

Wang Mang smiled, and said meaningfully, "Since my lord brought her with me, it must be useful."

Di Renjie waved his hands and said with a smile: "After a while, you will understand why I did this.

Well, let's not talk about her.

During the meal, Old Man Liu mentioned that on September 26th, that is, the night of 'Bailu', he saw a short man leading five carriages to Shangling Village. "

Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai nodded.

"Wang San, the fire chief who guards the north gate of Luoyang, said that on the night of September [-], five carriages opened the city gate with the order of the Shanjin Bureau and drove out of the city. Therefore, it can be concluded that what Old Man Liu saw was not Not a silversmith's carriage."

Wang Mang nodded: "That's right, since Old Man Liu remembers correctly, it's definitely not a carriage for carrying silversmiths."

Zeng Tai responded and said: "Jing Yang is right, and the students think so too."

Li Yuanfang said: "My lord, what do you mean, is this just a coincidence? The carriage carrying the silversmith didn't drive into the deep mountains, but left the city and detoured in another direction?"

Di Renjie smiled and waved his hands: "Yuan Fang, it seems that you are not familiar with the geography around Luoyang. Zeng Tai, tell him about it."

Zeng Tai said: "The north gate of Luoyang is the Hui'an Gate. There is Xiecheng Canal in the west and Huangshui in the east. It is sandwiched by two big rivers. There is only one official road to the north, which leads directly to Mang Mountain. There is no fork in the road."

Di Renjie nodded with a smile.

Li Yuanfang suddenly said: "That's right, Yuanfang is ashamed."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "You are not often in Luoyang, which is understandable."

Li Yuanfang said: "In this way, when the carriage leaves Hui'an Gate, it must be heading for Mang Mountain."

Di Renjie said, "Exactly."

Wang Mang said: "Teacher, you continue to talk!"

Di Renjie continued: "A few days ago, we came to a conclusion through analysis that the silversmiths were most likely employed by Tie Le. The narration of the fire chief Wang San who guarded the north gate further confirmed this analysis. He said, The carriage that left the city on September [-] was called to open the city gate with a ban issued by the Shanjin Bureau."

Wang Mang said: "That's right. Tie Le is the back alley manager of the Shanjin Bureau, and he is in charge of the bans in the bureau. Therefore, he must be the one who asked to open the city gate and bring the silversmiths out of the city."

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Students think the same way."

Li Yuanfang also nodded in agreement.

Di Renjie said: "Okay, let's assume that the silversmith's employer is Tie Le, and it was he who took the silversmiths out of the city on the night of September [-]rd.

Is the short man that Old Man Liu saw on the night of Bailu, September 26th, Tie Le? "

Zeng Tai looked at Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang, and said, "If the silversmith's employer is Tie Le, then the short man that Old Man Liu saw must not be."

Wang Mang shook his head slightly, but did not speak.

Di Renjie asked, "Why?"

Zeng Tai said: "Tie Le tricked the silversmiths into a carriage and drove away from Luoyang on September 100rd. Luoyang is only more than 20 miles away from Wuliu Town. How could it be possible to walk for more than [-] days?"

Di Renjie said: "Zeng Tai, did not Old Man Liu see the carriage loaded with silversmiths on September [-]rd, so that can prove that the carriage never came?"

Zeng Tai was stunned.

Wang Mang was thoughtful.

Li Yuanfang said: "Yes, perhaps, Tie Le had already transported the silversmiths here on September 20rd. After more than [-] days, when they returned here again, they were discovered by Old Man Liu."

Wang Mang said with a smile: "Brother Yuanfang is right. But there is one point that needs to be corrected. Maybe not again, but the third time, the fourth time..."

Zeng Tai slapped his forehead and said: "These people act late at night, and the residents of Wuliu Town have already fallen asleep, so they can't be seen at all.

On September 26th, it was the short man who called the door late at night to buy groceries, only to be seen by Old Man Liu.

Therefore, it's not that they didn't come, but that the residents of Wuliu Town didn't see it! "

Di Renjie asked back: "Isn't it?"

Zeng Tai said: "It makes sense, it makes sense. Teacher, in this way, the short man Liu saw is very likely to be Tie Le."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded: "That's right, how could there be so many dwarfs, and we just ran into them when we were investigating the case. If we didn't expect too much, he must be Tie Le."

Di Renjie nodded and said, "Okay. Now, let's talk about the second hypothesis. If the old man Liu sees Tie Le, what does that mean?"

Li Yuanfang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, carefully pondering Di Renjie's words, as if they wanted to understand, after a long time, they still shook their heads.

A hint of understanding appeared on Wang Mang's face: "It means that there is their lair in Mang Mountain, and the missing silversmith may be hiding there, so they often come and go."

Zeng Tai was surprised: "Oh, Jingyang, you mean, the silversmiths are hiding nearby?"

Wang Mang said, "Otherwise, why would they bring the silversmith's carriage here? And why would they buy a lot of vegetables from Old Man Liu?"

Li Yuanfang said: "It makes sense."

Di Renjie said: "Jing Yang is right, and I'm sure that the haunting in Shangling Village and the disappearance of the shepherd that happened more than two months ago must also be related to these people.

And this time coincides with the time of the disappearance of the silversmith.It is not difficult to draw this conclusion after two confirmations. "

Zeng Tai nodded and said, "Master, what do you mean, their lair is in Shangling Village?"

Di Renjie took a deep breath and said, "Shangling Village, Shangling Village, maybe this deserted village can tell us something..."

A thunderclap resounded through the earth.The heavy rain was pouring down, and the frequent lightning flashes illuminated the plaque in front of Shar Khan's house. In this terrible rainy night, it seemed that anything could happen.

Zhong Shi was lying on the bed, already fast asleep.

Suddenly, a flash of lightning lit up in front of the window, casting a gloomy figure on the window.

Zhong's brows were slightly wrinkled, and she bit her lips tightly, as if she was not peaceful in her sleep.

A muffled thunder rolled outside the window, and Zhong's eyes slowly opened.

Suddenly, the lightning in front of the window illuminated a ghostly face.

This face was covered with blood, almost sticking to Zhong's face.

Zhong shi screamed and wanted to sit up, but his body didn't seem to be his own, and he couldn't move.

She trembled all over, and her eyes widened in horror.

Another flash of lightning flashed, and this time she saw clearly that this bloody face turned out to be her husband Shar Khan.

Zhong screamed: "Yes, it's you, you are a human or a ghost..."

Sharhan said gloomyly: "It's me, it's me...I'm so cold over there..."

Zhong Shi trembled all over: "You, you, for the sake of husband and wife in the past, don't scare me..."

Shar Khan said grimly: "You are not wise, you are not wise! I was buried in the sea of ​​fire, and my bones were not cold, so you don't honor my husband's order... You, you are going to hell, hell..."

As he spoke, his face slowly pressed against Zhong's.

Zhong Shi let out a scream and passed out.
