"You just said he was dead? He wasn't us~" Seeing Wu Zichu's eyes, Yu Shaobai hurriedly closed his voice, turned his head and looked around, and then walked to Wu Zichu's side, "What happened?" Wasn't he hidden in his room by us? ”

"I also wondered, I heard my father say that someone came to report the case this morning, saying that the noble house in the same village had lost a fire, and when the neighbors hurried to put out the fire, they saw Xiao Lane running out of the house, and listened to the confession of the neighbors, it seems that this fire is quite evil, and the water cannot be extinguished, and the three thatched houses have turned into ruins, as for Xiao Lane...... Burned alive. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info”

Hearing this, Yu Shaobai was shocked, Xiao Rong would be burned to death in the noble house? Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, he is not sure, but if this fire can't even be extinguished with water, then it is a bit mysterious to say, and he doesn't believe in the strange power of chaos. As for natural disasters...... There was no lightning last night, how did it cause the fire, this is too far-fetched.

Yu Shaobai said in a low voice: "Let's go out first, this matter is getting more and more strange and complicated, and we must speed up the pace." ”

Wu Zichu nodded and said to his sister: "Little sister, I will go out with Shaobai, you stay at home, don't go out, Lanxi County has been a little unpeaceful in the past two days." ”

"It's okay to go out...... You may forget what you said, though. Can't go to Chun Manlou anymore. ”

Wu Zichu showed a helpless expression and leaned over to his sister's side, "Little sister, you have never asked me if I will go to Chunmanlou before, I understand your thoughts, but...... Too proactive and too unreserved. ”

"Brother~ Where did I take the initiative, don't talk nonsense."

"Do you think my brother doesn't know your thoughts? Let me tell you, you didn't want to take the initiative before, but now you know that Shaobai is good, but between men and women, it's better to be reserved, don't worry, my brother will let him enter our house. ”

"Brother! What nonsense are you talking about? How can Yu Gongzi get into the fold? ”

"Hey, sister~ Are you admitting this?"

Looking at the smile on the eldest brother's face, Wu Lingrou blessed Yu Shaobai's body, and left in a panic with the food box, Yu Shaobai didn't know what the brother and sister were muttering, and they didn't know who the charm on their pretty faces was for, and who the two shy clouds were born for.

"Let's get down to business first, don't rub it in." After saying that, he walked out of the courtyard gate with his legs raised, and Wu Zichu shook his head helplessly and followed.

"Brother-in-law, are we going to interrogate the Gao Wang family or going to Fei Wei?"

Yu Shaobai shook his head and said: "These are not in a hurry, they are in the county office, they can be seen at any time, and the most important thing now is to find the noble corpse." ”

"You mean to go to Hushui Village first?" Wu Zichu leaned over to him and asked in a low voice.

"That's right, by the way, I went to the lakeside ferry to have a look, and I heard that Xiao Lane's house is near there."

Then the two of them rushed to Hushui Village in a carriage, at this time the villagers of Hushui Village naturally heard about the Gao family, and they were even more pitiful of the boatman Xiao Lang who burned to death in the noble house. I learned the skills of fishing and ferrying, although he was a year old, but he never married a wife, and now he is so dead, no one cries for him, and no one wears filial piety for him, and even the aftermath has to be entrusted to the county government.

The efficiency of the county government is also not bad, after hearing the report, Wang Zhutou led people to the noble house of Hushui Village, looking at the expression on his face, he also knew that he was really not in a good mood now, and the successive murders brought a lot of pressure to the county government.

Under the guidance of the villagers, they came to the small forest in the mouth of Xiao Lane, named Ao Lake Forest, and the stone tablet is not far from the forest path, they have walked a mountain road, and they have seen the stone tablet, but they have not seen the corpse that Xiao Lane said.

"Shaobai, will we be tricked by that guy?" Wu Zichu looked sullen.

Yu Shaobai turned his head to look around, and pointed to the drag marks on the ground, "You see that there seem to be traces of something being dragged here." ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu's face showed a contemplative expression, and he looked east along the drag marks, it was a tomb, and the soil color on it was still new, so that the flaws were more obvious, and he said proudly: "Brother-in-law, there is something strange about this tomb, let's go and take a look." ”

Yu Shaobai, who was bowing his head and thinking deeply, suddenly exclaimed: "Zichu! Cannot! ”

Before he finished speaking, Wu Zichu had already run to the new grave, and when he heard Yu Shaobai's words, he felt empty under his feet before he could react......

"Zichu! Hang on! Don't let go! ”

Wu Zichu turned his head to look at the pit under his feet, the bamboo spears that were forked upside down, his face was already pale, and he looked up at his brother-in-law lying on the edge of the pit, "Brother-in-law, don't let go, you usually eat so much, you always have the strength." ”

Yu Shaobai is afraid that he can even use his strength to eat milk now, hooking the small tree next to the pit with one foot, and pulling desperately with both hands.

"Brother Zichu...... I'm running out of strength, do you have anything to say, say it as soon as possible, and I'll tell the family for you...... I felt like I couldn't hold it anymore. Yu Shaobai said with a blushing face, but a hint of playfulness flashed in the corners of his eyes.

Hearing this, Wu Zichu was so frightened that he was already in tears, "Good brother-in-law, don't let go, the eldest brother hasn't married Yueru yet, and he hasn't inherited the Wu family, so he can't die!" ”

Just when he was thinking about it, Yu Shaobai pulled him out of the big pit with a fierce force, and he lay on the ground a little out of strength, panting.

"Haha~ brother-in-law, you can really do it, this time my uncle owes you, if you have the opportunity in the future, my uncle will definitely save you." Wu Zichu was lying on the grass panting, feeling like he was going to be scared to pee his pants if it was too late.

I'm bah~ This damn bad luck, Yu Shaobai doesn't want this kind of opportunity, and the feeling of his life hanging by a thread is really uncomfortable.

"I just wanted to warn you to come, who knew your legs were so fast." Yu Shaobai gasped and said.

"How could I have thought that someone would dig a trap here, and almost die in it, a good boy himself, it's really infuriating."

Yu Shaobai sat up, looked at the big pit, and said with a wry smile: "I was still puzzled, the necessity of dealing with the traces even the young man Lang Ziyou in this village understands, this person disposed of the corpse and left such obvious traces, now it seems that things are not my expectations, he wants to use this trace to lead us to the new grave over there, and there are hidden potholes on the road, it should be to control us to death." ”

"There are still people in Lanxi County who dare to think crookedly about this son, I think it's unlikely."

"Whether this is the murderer targeting you and me, I don't know, maybe he just left a back hand and killed the insider."

Wu Zichu nodded slightly, turned his head to look at the new tomb, "Then do you say we should go and check the new tomb again?" ”

"I don't think it's necessary, since he's done so obviously, it's really not wise to put it here, I don't think he should get the body very far."

Wu Zichu turned his head to look around, and said loudly: "This place is so close to the lake, if I were that person, I would choose to throw my body in the lake." ”

Yu Shaobai shook his head and smiled: "This person must not want people to find out about hiding the noble corpse, if this other lake is probably your method is more convenient, but didn't you notice that the lake is a dead lake?" The corpse can't leave the lake at all, and it is also a way to sink the corpse, but the lake is so shallow, and there are lotus flowers, if the villagers go to pick lotus lotus roots, the noble corpse still can't be hidden. ”

"So where do you think he's most likely hiding? This forest is so big, it's not easy to find. ”

Yu Shaobai smiled and pointed to the ground, and said: "The ground of this forest is damp, that person is thoughtful, but he is also too thoughtful, there are footprints on all sides of the ground, there are footprints on all sides, it may be to mislead us, reminiscent of the fire in the Gao family, and the bizarre death of the boatman Xiao Lane, I think someone must have known our whereabouts last night, and what happened in the Gao family should also be known to that person, otherwise how could it be so coincidental, we just went to the Gao family, deceived Xiao Lane, and there was a fire that night, and Xiao Lane, a witness, was also burned to death. ”

"And how can the footprints on the ground tell us where the bodies are hidden?"

Yu Shaobai squatted on the ground, looking at the footprints a little distracted, hearing this, he reacted, "This person is thoughtful, we can't make subjective assumptions, assuming that I am the murderer, the ground is wet and will leave footprints, I have made so many footprints on the ground, just to confuse the other party and not let people know his exact whereabouts, but if you mobilize manpower and search the forest on a large scale, you will definitely be able to find the body along the footprints, so I think ...... He doesn't hide the body in the dirt. ”

Hearing this, Wu Zichu was a little confused, neither in the water nor in the soil, so where can he go? Is it possible to fly into the sky?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look up, but he didn't notice that Yu Shaobai had already walked towards the new tomb, with Wu Zichu's previous experience, he walked extra carefully this time, and hit the ground with a wooden stick in his hand to prevent stepping on the trap again.

"Brother-in-law, what are you going to do there?" Wu Zichu noticed his actions and hurriedly followed, suddenly there was a sound of strings in his ears, he sat down on the ground, a feather arrow went straight into the trunk behind him, turned his head to look at the tail of the arrow that was still trembling, Wu Zichu was almost scared.

"Don't come here, it's too dangerous."

Hearing his brother-in-law's words, his heart was broken, he was usually not so unlucky, why did he ...... today He suddenly felt a softness in his hand, and when he raised his hand, he saw that it was ......

Yes!

Hearing his shout, Yu Shaobai was startled, thinking that something had happened again, so he hurriedly turned his head to look, only to see Zichu staring at his hands, his expression a little frightened.

"What kind of expression do you have, why do you look like you've eaten?"

Wu Zichu didn't pay attention to him, just rubbed his hand vigorously in the soil, tried to smell it, but still looked disgusted.

"Didn't you, did you?" Yu Shaobai quipped, and then came to his side.

Wu Zichu looked depressed, but then he pointed to the ground, "What do you see I touched from the?" ”

"This is ......" Yu Shaobai squatted down, wrapped it in leaves, looked carefully, his face changed suddenly, and he threw away the things in his hand violently.
