Chapter 81: The Cave Skeleton (5)

There are two known passages to the summer resort, one is a suspension bridge and the other is a narrow passage.

When Su Yunkai climbed with Baishui, he knew why the secret passage was so little known for so long, just because there was no road here at all, and even the traces of trampling were only left by Baishui's last time, and even the birds on the mountain rarely walked this "road".

Shirosui had a wounded arm, but he was determined, so he still walked fast on the steep and narrow mountain. Su Yunkai followed behind her, surprised and admired her desperately, but the more she was like this, the more worried he became, once the case was delayed for one more day, the greater the pressure in Bai Shui's heart, and he would not be able to solve the case, Bai Shui would not be able to remove the burden from his shoulders for a day, and he might drive himself crazy in the end.

"White catcher."

Bai Shui grabbed the branches on both sides of the mountain road and turned around, "What's the matter, my lord?" ”

"How far is it from the secret passage?"

"It's coming, just climb up a little longer." Bai Shui said, with a look of chagrin between his eyebrows, "If it weren't for my injury, I would have been able to climb faster." ”

Su Yunkai said, "Slow down, the injury to your arm is not light." ”

"I'm fine, as long as I can catch the murderer......" Bai Shui didn't want to say more useless words, and continued to climb up.

Su Yunkai followed, and said, "It's so congested and dangerous here, how did you climb up in the first place?" ”

"During the Chinese Valentine's Day, I promised to put lanterns with Qin, but I had something to do in the yamen and missed the appointment. Later, he said that he wanted to take me to the summer resort to watch a shadow puppet show, and I couldn't go with him for a while, so I promised him to go up the mountain to meet him. ”

"So you're going to see him even if it's all against odds?"

"Hmm."

"Then now he is also waiting for you to go back to see him, even if it is a thousand dangers."

Bai Shui, who was concentrating on climbing up, suddenly understood his intention to mention this matter, and she climbed with her bare hands, and her heartstrings had been touched.

She has reached the point of disregarding her own safety for the sake of her brother, she knows it, but she feels that her only relative is gone, and she has the responsibility to find out the truth. But on the way to find the truth, she forgot that there was another person waiting for her, as eager and caring as she had waited for her brother to come home.

Qin Fang......

Bai Shui tilted his head slightly, "I understand, my lord, I will live well, go to Qin Fang, and face Yan Guogong with him." ”

Su Yunkai was relieved to see her, and he also felt relieved, "On that day, I will also do my part." ”

Bai Shui thanked him, walked another ten feet, and finally stopped. At this time, Bai Shui's hands were covered with green juice because of grasping the vines and grass, and she didn't care. Leaned over and walked forward, lifted the heavy green vines like a curtain of water, and walked about half a foot before he paused.

Su Yunkai asked in the back, "Arrived?" ”

"It's ......" Bai Shui was a little stunned, and turned sideways to let him look forward, "Someone is blocked." ”

Su Yunkai was stunned for a moment, and looked there, on the narrow cliff, there was a huge rock embedded deep in the mountain, and the secret passage that could have allowed a person to pass through at the bottom was blocked by a big rock at this time. There was no trace of a stone dragging on the ground, and it was impossible to fit such a large stone into this steep rock face. So the only thing that is certain is that the stone was stuffed in from the opposite side.

White Water tried to push it away, but it couldn't push it away at all. She was so angry that she took the knife and slashed at the stone, and the sparks scurried, and the knife was missing, but the stone still did not move.

Su Yunkai almost stepped on the air several times when he saw her, and pulled her back, "The stone is blocked from the opposite side, since the murderer expected this entrance, it must have been blocked, no matter how you cut it, it is useless." ”

Each entrance is like a life path to avenge his brother, but now that the two lives are blocked at the same time, Bai Shui is a little at a loss as he holds the knife, "My lord...... How could the murderer know about this entrance? There are not many people who know about it. ”

From the moment he saw that the secret passage was blocked, Su Yunkai's eyes were already cold, and he had piled up all the doubts on one person, and even every doubt could be established.

Bai Shui had been chopping for a long time, and her hand was weak, she looked up at the almost vertical cliff, and reached out to probe, "If there is a rope to hang on the tree above, I can go over." ”

Su Yunkai raised his head when he heard the sound, and saw that the trunk of the tree was no more than a wrist thick and grew out of the cracks, the wind was blowing and swaying, the fallen leaves were full of falling, and he scolded lightly, "Don't do such a dangerous thing, what did you promise me just now?" Go back, I've got an eyebrow. ”

"There must be something strange about that villa, don't adults want to go in and have a look?" Bai Shui tried to convince him, "The murderer is in such a hurry to burn down the villa and block all the ways out, there must be a problem on it, maybe go now, and it is possible to find a little clue." ”

Su Yunkai shook his head and looked solemn, "Do you listen to my instructions?" Now go down the mountain immediately. ”

Bai Shui's expectant look quickly sank, and his eyes were full of resistance, "I can pass unharmed." ”

"Whitewater!"

Su Yunkai saw her retreat and stepped forward to catch her, but Bai Shui was very skilled. He took a step forward, did not catch her, but saw her rushing forward, for unknown reasons, pause for a moment, and when the clothes were loosened and the belt was untied by her, he understood that Bai Shui wanted to use the belt as a rope. He suddenly shouted in shock, and his feet were in a hurry, and he stepped on the rocks and rolled down.

While he was holding the chassis, Bai Shui had already fastened his belt with his own, and threw the rope to the half of the tree trunk with unmistakable accuracy, and jumped up with the force of the tree trunk.

"Whitewater!!"

Su Yunkai watched her leap forward, and the branches of the tree burst almost simultaneously, making him almost suffer cardiac arrest.

Fortunately, Bai Shui's body is light and his light work is good, so he only borrowed a little strength, stepped on the cliff, and jumped over it. When she let go, her figure fell in an instant and disappeared behind the rock, and Su Yunkai's face was completely blank.

"My lord, I'm here."

Su Yunkai, who was so shocked that he was holding his breath, gasped and wanted to scold her, but he couldn't scold, "You have to be careful, I'll go find someone to repair the bridge after I go down the mountain, don't use this method to come out again." ”

"I understand, come down the mountain, you have to be careful."

Su Yunkai said to the mossy rock, "You too, be careful." ”

The two of them said to each other carefully, Su Yunkai went down the mountain to find the person who repaired the bridge that day, after all, he had repaired it once, he was familiar with the road, and the speed would be faster. When he reached the foot of the mountain, he glanced back at the mountain villa where the smoke was still billowing out, knowing that Bai Shui was so impulsive, he should have come alone, it was he who underestimated Bai Shui's determination.

&&&&&

In Kaifeng City, Mingyue has been in Li's house for half a day.

Mrs. Li heard that she was Su Yunkai's friend, so she was very polite to her, and invited her to the pavilion to chat, her words were gentle, and she didn't seem to tear people apart at all. Mingyue said, "Before entering the door, Lord Li asked me to make sure that I was a friend of Master Su, otherwise he would have no way to defend himself when he brought a girl home." ”

Mrs. Li couldn't help but smile when she heard this, "He didn't tell me any truth at all." ”

"Lord Li is a good person, and so is Madame."

"No matter how good a person is, he can't compare to the Su family." Mrs. Li said, "Generations of loyal ministers, which generation has not had ups and downs, has not been in Kyoto for a long time, is not afraid of power, and the imperial power is not shocked." Even the executioner said that the Su family's neck was really cut, and it must be harder than a knife. ”

Mingyue stretched out her hand and touched her neck, her words were exaggerated, but it also showed that the Su family was worthy of the world.

She misses her lover and her friends more and more, but she can't help much. Is the only thing I can do is an autopsy?

Autopsy...... She thought intently of the bones of the White Shadow, starting from the cave and ending at the morgue.

Poisonous, desperate escape, hiding in caves, clues?

Yes, clues, since he had already expected that he would die, what clues would he definitely leave behind, why didn't he leave a letter and inform others?

Can't stay, or can't you stay?

After thinking about it, Mingyue's thoughts finally fell on the piece of silver, the silver that Bai Ying still held in his hand before he died.

In the first year of Kaifeng's arrest, he only had a few dozen taels of silver, and his money bag only had some broken silver, but he held ten taels of silver in his hand. She wanted to take a good look at the ingot of silver, but now it was in Su Yunkai's hands, and she didn't know when he would come back.

She was so engrossed that she didn't even know that the people from the Li Mansion were coming, and she didn't turn around until he read Su Yunkai's name, "What?" ”

The servant said, "Master Su Yunkai Su is outside the door, and he is very anxious to see our master." ”
