Chapter 416: The Secret Passage

"What is the identity of that woman, have you seen it?"

In the courtyard of the house deep in the alley of Ximaqiao, Lu Chen and Lao Ma sat in the courtyard and drank each other, and after drinking a glass of wine, Lu Chen asked Lao Ma like this. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info

The old horse shook his head and said, "I haven't seen that woman, and I really don't know where she came from. Saying that, he paused for a moment, and then said: "In the first ten years, you and I lived in Qingshuitang Village, and in the last few years, after you fled south to the land of confusion, I only helped with some trivial matters in the periphery, and finally moved to live in Qingshuitang Village, so over the years, I still know a little about the situation in the Immortal League, except for the Fuyun Division, I basically don't know anything about the situation in other halls." ”

Lu Chen nodded, it seemed that he also knew what Lao Ma said, and after thinking for a while, he said: "That woman claims to be a member of the True Immortal Alliance, but it can't be from the Fuyun Division, otherwise, there won't be no news from the Dead Bald Head and the Blood Warbler." In this way, you have to go over and ask if there is a woman named Song Wenji in the Immortal League recently, and see what the origin is. ”

Lao Ma said: "It's no problem, it's on me." ”

Lu Chen smiled, reached out to pick up the wine jug, and began to pour wine into the old horse and his own wine glass.

In the early morning of the next day, Lu Chen and Lao Ma both got up early, and after tidying up, as usual, Lu Chen took a large piece of demon beast meat and threw it to Ah Tu, and sent the black dog away.

In the past few days, Ah Tu has lived a fairy-like life, either eating or sleeping every day, except that the dog can't drink, it can really be said that he is a fairy dog who is drunk and dreams of death.

After sending Ah Tu away, Lu Chen walked out with Lao Ma, and Lao Ma said to Lu Chen: "I'll go to the Fuyun Division today to find the Blood Ying Hall Master, tell her about the last few days, and also inquire about the news of that woman yesterday." ”

Lu Chen nodded and said, "Well, you can go, but I'm afraid that these things may not be able to get answers soon, so don't rush back today, and do things over there." ”

Lao Ma glanced at him and said, "What about you, where are you going to go today? Could it be that you are going to find the next person on the list?"

Lu Chen hesitated, but shook his head and said, "No, stop for a moment today." I think it's a bit strange about this, as if there's something I haven't figured out, and I need to think about it more. After a pause, he said to Lao Ma again: "Today I will find an opportunity to go to the butcher's shop yesterday again to see if there is anything else missing." That Rui Xiaotian's identity must be strange, that is, the woman named Song Wenji may know something, right?"

The old horse nodded and said, "Okay, be careful yourself." So saying, he went on his own.

Lu Chen watched the back of the old horse disappear into the lively street under the Xima Bridge, and after staring for a long time, he turned a corner and walked on another road.

The butcher shop yesterday is naturally not open today, which also makes the neighborhood ladies who like to buy meat here the most on weekdays feel very disappointed. Before Lu Chen came over, he was a little worried that these people might go to the butcher shop to check out, but this time the situation inside would inevitably be revealed.

In yesterday's lightning-fast battle, Rui Xiaotian, a young butcher with a mysterious origin and a mysterious identity, suddenly triggered some mechanisms, causing chaos and then taking the opportunity to escape, and then Lu Chen and Song Wenji couldn't track down, and they also had scruples in their hearts, so they left there one after another. However, those institutions are all set up in the house, in fact, from the outside, at least there is nothing wrong with this butcher shop, and when Lu Chen came over, he was worried about this.

But to his surprise, although this butcher shop was closed, it did not attract anyone's onlookers and attention, including those neighborhood ladies who came here every day and didn't know whether they were buying meat or looking at their faces. When some of them walked to the door of the butcher shop, they often stayed for a while, then turned around and walked away, without any intention of knocking on the door to ask, which also made Lu Chen feel a little surprised.

When no one had passed by for a while, Lu Chen walked out of a hidden corner of the opposite street, and then pretended to pass by casually and walked in front of the butcher shop.

The next moment, he suddenly frowned, but found that a note had been posted on the door of the butcher's shop at some point, with a few lines written on it:

"The proprietor's mother is seriously ill and has to go back to her hometown overnight to take care of her, and the store is temporarily closed for a month. ”

The note wasn't too big, but it was still very conspicuous on the door, and the handwriting on it was neat and neat, and it looked pretty good. Probably it was because I saw this note that the women who came over had to leave here.

Lu Chen didn't stop in front of this butcher shop, and even his eyes seemed to just sweep over the note, and then walked over.

Half an hour later, Lu Chen had already jumped in from a hidden wall at the back of this house, gently and indistinctly.

There was silence in the house, no one moving, but the mess of debris scattered all over the place seemed to tell of the sudden chaos of yesterday. As for the original owner here, he was naturally nowhere to be found at this moment, Lu Chen stood in this small courtyard and thought about it for a while, and found that he still couldn't see any clues from the magical means used by Rui Xiaotian when he escaped yesterday.

He looked back and saw the peach tree from yesterday, the blooming peach blossoms swaying in the spring breeze, as if nothing had changed. Compared to the mess around it, this peach tree is probably the only thing that is still neat and beautiful.

Lu Chen stared at the blooming peach blossoms for a while, then walked over and entered Rui Xiaotian's bedroom yesterday.

He was no stranger to this room, in fact, he had searched it carefully yesterday and found a secret passage, but he had not found anything of value beyond that.

It seemed like there was a lot of time today, and he searched more carefully than yesterday, but as time passed, when he finally came out of the bedroom again, the harvest was still exactly the same as yesterday.

However, the look on Lu Chen's face did not look depressed, but thoughtful, and after a moment of silence, he whispered to himself: "It's so clean......?

He stood in the doorway and thought for a moment, then walked to the peach tree in the small courtyard. Now he has basically groped and checked all the places in this house, but that Rui Xiaotian is so clean that he didn't leave anything that could trace his identity.

Lu Chen even felt that if he hadn't seen Rui Xiaotian selling meat here yesterday, he might not believe that this person lived here.

Now, though, there's one last place left.

There are two secret passages in this house, one in the bedroom and one under the peach tree.

Yesterday, that Song Wenji had been standing under this peach tree and had never left, Lu Chen had always suspected that there was something strange in that place, and he would thoroughly search it today.

When these thoughts turned in his heart, he had already walked under the blooming peach tree, the breeze was blowing, his clothes were slightly blowing, and in a trance, he seemed to have returned to the season full of peach blossoms in Qingshuitang Village.
