Li Le poked at the bulge with his hand, and found that it did not collapse, and the two waited patiently for the rescue.

"It's coming!"

Xiao Tong didn't arrive, the sound arrived first, and after a while, I saw him walking over with a hoe, the posture was not like looking for clues, but like a melon farmer who was going to hoe.

He thrust the hoe into the place Li Le pointed to, but he didn't think that it seemed to be something, and his mouth was numb.

He looked at the immovable dirt in confusion, and shouted unresponsively: "What is this thing down here, it must be an iron plate!" ”

He looked at the woman next to him with a bitter face: "Sister Ah Le, why don't you let Brother Shen dig it, you see that my pampered little hands can't withstand such a toss......"

"Less nonsense, dig fast." When Li Le saw that his movements stopped at that time, and the whole person froze, his heart jumped slightly, and he knew that there must be something buried underneath.

She had a hunch that this thing must have something to do with what they were looking for.

Shen Sheng laughed: "Stinky boy, don't shout, hurry up and dig it out, and finish the good meal." ”

As he spoke, he stood aside with his hands and watched the show, holding the same posture as watching the excitement.

Xiao Tong glanced at him, but he was just joking.

The hoe went down and shocked him, which was the most unexpected thing for him, and he was also curious at the moment, what was down here.

The weather was extremely hot, and Xiao Tong just waved two hoes, and he already noticed that he was hungry and covered with fine beads of sweat, dripping down and almost losing his eyes.

He paused, crouched down, and brushed away the loose dirt with his hand, and noticed something covered in patina beneath him.

"Look, what is this?" Xiao Tong seemed to have discovered something new, and the two people standing on the side quickly squatted down to check.

Li Le looked left and right, but still couldn't see what this was, and patted Xiao Tong on the shoulder: "Dig out all this thing for me, what kind of thing can you see from this ghost?" ”

The corners of Xiao Tong's mouth twitched, and he could only stand up and hoe all the surrounding soil in one fell swoop, and then squatted down and used the small dagger he carried on his body to dig up the soil.

"It looks like a box."

Xiao Tong looked at the thing that had already revealed half of its shape and guessed.

Li Le nodded, and then he had already moved this thing out by himself, you were afraid that the two of them would see her do it, so they hurriedly stepped forward to help.

After working for a while, I moved this box out: "This is ......"

A complicated lock was placed on the outside of a copper box, and seeing that the pattern carving on the top of the lock was extremely exquisite, the three of them looked at each other and were a little dumbfounded for a while.

"I've never seen anything like this."

Li Le frowned slightly: "What kind of treasure will it be inside?" It was locked up with such a lock and buried. ”

"It could be full of gold, silver, and jewelry!"

Xiao Tong was a little off the line, and looked at Li Le with blank eyes: "Sister Ah Le, will you open this lock?" ”

The latter shook her head, and just as she stood up and was about to take the copper box away and find a locksmith to open it, Shen Sheng turned the copper box in a different direction.

He carefully reached out and wiped the dirt off the lock, examined it carefully, and then touched its texture.

Then he put the copper box in his ear and patted it, and after hearing the sound inside was very soft and almost no sound, he was a little puzzled.

"God."

Seeing his movements, Li Le was a little puzzled.

Shen Sheng explained: "This copper box actually has a great origin, if you recklessly open this lock at will, all the items in it will be destroyed at once, it can be said that the person who buried this box is very careful and vigilant." ”

Then, in her bewildered gaze, Shen Sheng raised his hand and said, "Lend me a hairpin." ”

Although Li Le said that he was puzzled, he didn't ask anything, but reached out and pulled out a silver hairpin on his head and handed it over.

There was only one silver hairpin on her head as his hair ornament, but now that he pulled it out like this, all the hair on his head was scattered, and if someone passed by, he would definitely be stunned.

It's just that what makes people feel bad is that Li Le immediately muttered: "It's hot to death." ”

Xiao Tong couldn't hold back, burst out laughing, and then laughed, but when he received Li Le's silent gaze, he immediately shut up, and looked at Shen Sheng obediently with a flat mouth.

After Shen Sheng took the silver needle and pierced it into the keyhole, he twisted it up and down, turned his head sideways to listen to the sound coming from inside, and then pondered for a while.

It was just a moment of time, Shen Sheng nodded, and began to move with confidence.

"Brother, be careful, if something goes wrong, something important here may be destroyed by you."

Xiao Tong was shocked, and was about to open his mouth to persuade him not to continue, but his mouth was covered by Li Le.

"Shut up." Li Le gave him an eye knife, which made him have to close his mouth, and both of them looked at Shen Sheng with a sigh of relief.

"Click"

A sound came from the copper box, Li Le almost felt that her whole heart was lifted, she held her breath and watched Shen Sheng pull the upper ring of the lock open, and slowly left the lock hole.

"You don't look like the terrible owner of the door as you say, but like a lockpicker."

Li Le looked at him with a serious face, and inexplicably felt a little funny, jokingly quipped.

Shen Sheng opened the box, and there was a piece of paper lying quietly inside.

"What's this?" Xiao Tong just wanted to reach out and pick up the piece of paper, but the other pair of hands was faster than him, and directly pinched the piece of paper with two fingers.

"If it's so tightly hidden, will it be poisonous?"

Xiao Tong didn't give up: "Sister Ah Le, why don't I come and see?" ”

Li Le couldn't bear it anymore and rewarded him with a violent shudder, which made him completely quiet.

The other two watched Li Le open the piece of paper, and I have to say that Li Le was very difficult to open, and I don't know how long this paper has been buried, and it is a little damp.

She could only glue the two sides of the paper together very lightly and carefully separate them, for fear that she would accidentally tear this thing apart.

After unfolding it almost with bated breath, Li Le was surprised to find that it was actually from a man's handwriting, and the words on it were scribbled, looking like it had been completed in a very urgent situation.

Li Le just finished reading the first two lines, and his face changed greatly: "Do you two remember who the person in this case we are investigating now is?" ”

"Isn't that the thief who has been poisoned?" Xiao Tong rushed to answer.

She nodded: "This suicide note was written by that thief." ”

Before she finished speaking, she carefully read all the words on it, and then silently handed it to the two people on the side.

"I really didn't expect this person to be coerced."

Shen Sheng was stunned for a moment: "No wonder when we went to inquire about the merchant before, the boss also told us that the person looked like he was very willing to be arrested by the government." ”

Li Le nodded, by now, all the things they had recently investigated had been resolved, or rather, all the points of doubt had been answered, and they had all been connected together.

This is because this person was threatened with his life, and in order to protect himself, he had to ask the government for help.

But since he couldn't find the exact person who threatened his life, there was no way to guarantee the safety of his life and let the government protect him.

He simply used the means of theft, and only when others reported that he had committed a crime could he ensure that he was caught in prison.

In this way, when he arrived in the prison, his life was spared.

"It's a great idea here, but it's a pity, even if you go to prison, you still haven't survived."

Shen Sheng sighed and said regretfully. Now that I think about it, the poison on this thief may have been planted on him before he went to prison, which is why he died so quickly and quietly.

He handed the suicide note back to Li Le, but saw that the latter seemed to think of something again, and went to look for the contents of the copper box.

But even if she looked over and over again, it was clear that there was only this suicide note in the box.

Other than that, it's empty, nothing.

Li Le closed the lid in disappointment, originally thinking that since this person would write a suicide note, lock it in a box and bury it, he would definitely hide some clues that he knew in it.

As a result, I didn't expect that my guess turned out to be wrong.

When she showed it to Shen Sheng and the others, she didn't look at what was written on it, but now she took the paper back and looked through it, only to find that the original clue was on it.

The paper was clearly written on it, and he knew that even if he went into the prison, he would definitely not be let go by that group of people, so he simply prepared to die, and put everything he knew at the end of this suicide note.

Li Le could imagine how desperate that man should have felt in his heart when he quickly wrote this line of suicide note in the dim candlelight.

"If anyone finds out this suicide note I wrote, be sure to go to the place where I hid my secrets, where there is all the truth I know?"

Xiao Tong read out the two lines of small characters at the end, and scratched his head with some confusion: "This person is quite cautious, and he will hide everything." ”

"It's a good thing he has such an idea, otherwise, we would be like headless flies, and we don't know where to start."

Li Le nodded, with some sighs.

With this person, their affairs are a lot easier, and they originally thought that it should take a lot of time and energy, but now it seems that this case should be solved soon.
