Chapter 321: Trapped

The night was dispersed by torches, and the laborers who were rushing to work at night to build the Zen Yuan Bridge were frightened by the sudden appearance of a large group of people nearby.

Although there are road sticks set up at the gate of Chang'an City almost every other way, there are people who specially light lamps at night so as not to make people's eyes black. They are even more lined with torches here, bright, and there is almost no problem with their vision.

But such a group of people came suddenly, looking at the black crowd, the laborers who were rushing to work still had a feeling of stagnation.

"What's going on?" Someone muttered.

"Don't look around, it's none of us." The foreman who came out of the simple tent set up on the side saw these horses appear at the bridge, and walked around again, and couldn't help but darken his eyes slightly, and said, "Keep working!" There is no delay. ”

That is, after all, the construction period is important! Originally, he didn't rush to work at night, but the foreman didn't dare to be afraid that it would be too late, so he paid three times the salary out of his own pocket and asked them to come to work.

If you don't give other face, you still have to give face to the silver.

The laborers went on to work after seeing the excitement.

……

Qiao Ran is also continuing...... He continued to tap on the stone wall with the branches he picked up.

She's already turned around, and there's no mechanism here, just a simple stone chamber. No, it can't be said to be simple, because there is a sealed stone hall on the steps in the center of the stone chamber.

This may be a renovated mausoleum.

However, this mausoleum is very simple to repair, and the entrance door can be seen anywhere, but it is just ...... Qiao Ran stretched out her hand and pushed the stone door.

The door was blocked from the outside.

Sometimes it's not the elaborate mechanism that traps people, and the simpler it is, the more people can't do anything about it.

Qiao Ran walked around, returned to the steps of the stone room and sat down, the branch fell on the palm of his hand and knocked slightly, and then quickly woke up Zhou Weizhong, who was lying on the ground not far away and had not woken up.

"Who?" Zhou Weizhong let out a loud shout and sat up from the ground suddenly.

"Me." Qiao Ran coldly spit out a word, and then subconsciously touched the bag on the back of her head.

"How did we end up here?" When Zhou Weizhong saw the surrounding situation, he was immediately shocked, "Aren't we going to leave the Chen family?" Why did you suddenly get dark and didn't know anything? ”

Qiao Ran rolled her eyes, even if the colleagues of Dali Temple were not top intelligent masters, at least they had the basic ability to judge and speculate. It's been a long time since she's met someone like Zhou Weizhong.

"On our way out, someone attacked us." She lowered her eyelids and explained, the branch in her hand unconsciously tugging at the floor of the stone chamber, "Locked us up here. ”

Sure enough, the next moment, Zhou Weizhong's anger changed to the target, and he immediately became furious: "Okay, he is Chen Da, there must be a conspiracy to lock us up for no reason!" That evidence may be false as well......"

Qiao Ran held his forehead and sighed, interrupting his angry words: "You just know! ”

That evidence...... Thinking of the so-called evidence, Qiao Ran couldn't help but shake her head.

Today's events are ridiculous to say.

It is said that it was Chen Da Chen Dashan, who opened the jade shop, who took the initiative to send someone to find Zhou Weizhong, saying that he had evidence about Zhou Daren, and Zhou Weizhong came over to make an appointment in a hurry.

I didn't even have any doubts about why the other party didn't report to the official and chose to tell him that since he had evidence.

Originally, Chen Da took Zhou Weizhong to see the evidence, but Zhou Weizhong's "sharp eyes" saw her, so he was half-forced to bring her along.

"But the dog ......" Zhou Weizhong still seemed to hesitate, he said, "The dog can't do it!" ”

"Dogs can't talk!" Qiao Ran rolled her eyes and said, "Chen Da said that the evidence found by the kennel must be true if it was found by the dog?" ”

Next to the kennel is a bloody waist tag, and the tassel tied to the waist tag is wrapped around another tassel.

The waist card is the identity of the ministry, not someone else's, it is the missing Zhou Daren's, and the tassel wrapped around the Zhou Daren's waist card is the same as the original tassel of the waist card. In other words, the tassel is likely to be on a similar waist card, such as Jiang's.

Although things such as tassels are not too difficult to imitate, the weaving methods of the government are mostly the same. If these two tassels are finally proved to be similar in material and weaving methods, and the tassels on Jiang Fang's waist card are missing, then in Zhou Weizhong's opinion, this is tangible evidence.

"The body of Lord Zhou was not found, and this piece of evidence alone does not prove that Lord Jiang is guilty." Qiao Ran pulled the branch and said, "Don't say that this evidence appears inexplicably, just say this tassel, Jiang Zhou and the adults have been together that night, and it is also possible that the tassel accidentally wrapped around the other party's waist card during the investigation, this evidence does not prove that Jiang Fang is guilty." ”

Zhou Weizhong was furious when he heard this: "You mean that Jiang Fang is not guilty?" ”

Qiao Ran ignored his move of being ready to riot at any time, and only pointed to the stone wall, and said, "If Jiang Fang did it, how could we be locked up here?" ”

Zhou Weizhong immediately gritted his teeth and said: "I know, it was Chen Da who planted the blame, everything was done by him, he harmed my father......"

Qiao Ran moved her lips, wanting to say something more, but finally gave up.

That's it, let's not talk about it. To be honest, red beans are not very smart, but calling people "have nothing to say" like Zhou Weizhong is not something that ordinary people can achieve.

She touched the evidence hidden in her sleeve pocket, and said in her heart that this evidence may be related to the murderer, but the murderer may not be Chen Da.

Remembering the way Chen Da enthusiastically showed them the evidence, Qiao Ran boasted that he was completely based on Zhou Weizhong's performance, and Chen Da's reaction did not look like he was suspicious.

Not to mention that it is useless to arrest her and Zhou Weizhong, let's just say that if Chen Da really wants to arrest the two of them, from the beginning, there is no need to choose a place where people come and go at Shanyuan Bridgehead, not to mention that she was still talking to those ladies in Qiaotou at that time. Once she was found to be gone, Pei Qingqing had seen her near the Shanyuan Bridge again, and when the time came, she would soon be able to find those eldest ladies, and then learn from them that she was taken away by Chen Da.

Secondly, even if Chen Da had a big heart, he invited the two of them home in front of so many people. But if you want to arrest someone, you can just have a cup of drugged tea or let someone knock people out and take them away on the spot, so why bother to show evidence? It's a big deal. After all, if something happened in his house, a fool would guess that it was Chen Daxia's hand.

Therefore, Chen Da had no reason to arrest the two of them.

And the people who attacked them just locked them up, but they didn't kill them. Locking them up in such a stone room, Qiao Ran frowned, and called Zhou Weizhong, who lived in the stone room, punched the stone wall and scolded him.

"That door ......"

She only said three words, and Zhou Weizhong rolled up his sleeves and walked towards the stone gate, saying, "I'll go and open the door." ”

The corners of Qiao Ran's mouth couldn't help twitching when she heard this, and said, "Don't think about this." I mean, there's a slit under the stone door, and I've pushed my handkerchief out of it, and see if you have anything with you to push it out from under it. ”

"What are you going to do?"

Qiao Ran's forehead was bruised when she heard this, Lord Zhou has solved countless cases, and it stands to reason that he is also a smart person, why is there no shadow of Lord Zhou on this Zhou Weizhong?

"Of course, just wait for someone outside to find out that something is wrong here, and then call for help when you hear someone outside."

This is the third thing she feels is wrong: it is not that she treats people with evil, but if she were replaced, if she really wanted to arrest people and hide them, she would never hide them in such a place where there was a glimmer of life.

Plugging the crack under the door will not only prevent the two of them from calling for help, but may also turn this stone chamber into a truly airtight stone pavilion, well, just like the one in the center.

Qiao Ran's gaze fell on the stone pavilion.
