Chapter 34: Behind Bars

After he said this, the bluestone slab moved again.

"Wait a minute......" Sima Duanli shouted.

The mouth of the well has been completely covered, and the bottom of the well seems to have become an abandoned world, and even the low and gloomy laughter of Wen Gongzi has been isolated from the other side of the world.

"What's next?" Sima Duanli looked at the other two and said.

"Let's put the man on your back first!" Mo Li smiled bitterly.

Sima Duanli then remembered that he was still carrying a person on his back, and he untied the rope that bound them and laid the man flat on the ground.

Zhen Bei came to the man with the Night Pearl, only to see that there was a big hole in his back, the wound had been simply bandaged, and the person was still unconscious.

"His bleeding has stopped, and his life should be fine!" Sima Duanli sighed, "Looking at his dress, he should be a subordinate of the Wen Mansion, so why does Gongzi Wen want to ......?"

Suddenly, he looked surprised: "Could it be that it's him?" ”

Zhenbei nodded, "Exactly." He should have sneaked into Aunt Liu's room, killed Master Wen while they were asleep, threw his head into the pool, closed the window again, and faked it as a secret room to kill people! ”

Sima Duanli squatted down and looked at the person on the ground, this person was short in stature, although his face was scratched, but his facial features were by no means outstanding, he really couldn't see anything special, and couldn't help but wonder: "However, Aunt Liu once said that when she woke up, the doors and windows were plugged in from the inside, how did he get out and escape?" Could it be that this person will fly away? ”

"Of course he won't! Because before Aunt Liu opened the door, he was still hiding in the room! ”

Seeing Sima Duanli's incredulous looks, Zhen Bei continued: "I once found some mud under the bed at the scene of the crime. Aunt Liu is an extremely face-conscious person, from the spotlessness in her room and her behavior after the crime, it can be seen that she is a person who does not tolerate a little dirt in her eyes! What she would never allow in her room was real, and the only answer was that the mud was left behind before she had time to find it! ”

"And the only thing that meets this time is the night of the crime! Therefore, it can be concluded that after the murderer killed Lord Wen, he did not leave, and he hid under the bed all night. But on the second day, when the Wen family found the body and fell into chaos, they took the opportunity to blend into the crowd! ”

Mo Li bowed his head and said, "So that's the case." It's just that how did Brother Gu know that the mastermind behind the scenes was Gongzi Wen? ”

Unknowingly, he also learned Sima Duan's salute to call him "Brother Gu", but the other two obviously didn't notice.

Zhen Bei frowned and said slowly: "To be honest, before I was pushed down the well, I wasn't sure that the murderer was him!" According to the people in Wen's house, after the incident, when the subordinates found him, he did get up from his sleep in a hurry! Of course, this may be a false impression that he deliberately pretended! ”

"I've always wondered, he just killed Lord Wen and escaped, why did he have to mutilate his body in one fell swoop many times?" Sima Duan saluted.

"Maybe it's to vent hatred!" Don't deviate.

"It is also possible that in order to attribute the crime to ghosts and gods, on the one hand, you can be fascinated or the people of the government, on the other hand, you can stimulate Aunt Liu, you must know that people who are pregnant are emotionally unstable, and it is easy to cause miscarriage due to mood ups and downs! And it did work out as they wished! Zhen Bei sighed.

"People's hearts are not ancient, people's hearts are not ancient!" Sima Duanli remembered Aunt Liu's empty eyes, and sighed repeatedly.

The three of them were silent for a while, and Sima Duanli stood up: "I'll go around and see if I can find a place where I can break and dig up, and keep leaning here, we will freeze to death and starve to death sooner or later!" ”

"I never knew that you were so life-conscious? When he killed the black bear in Golin Mountain that year, he looked completely disregardful! Mo Li said with a smile.

Sima Duanli shook his head and said, "We can't die here, and you can't even do it, Your Majesty!" ”

Speaking of which, the last time they went to Kuolin Mountain to cultivate martial arts, Sima Duanli fought desperately, and it was more to protect Mo Li, which Mo Li naturally knew!

More often than not, they are sympathetic confidants, rather than the righteousness of kings and ministers!

When he found the people of the Wen Mansion, Sima Duanli vaguely saw that not far away, there was a space similar to an underground secret room, and he was in a hurry to stop the bleeding for that person and left, without bothering to observe and study it carefully.

Mo Li saw him walking towards the secret passage that stretched at the bottom of the well, worried that there was a trap inside, so he hurriedly followed.

Zhen Bei looked at the man lying on the ground and said, "I know that you have woken up, if you don't want to affect the clansmen, forget everything you heard, lie here obediently, don't do anything crooked!" ”

The man nodded slightly, his eyes still closed.

Zhen Bei thought for a while, tied the man's hands and feet with ropes, held the Night Pearl, and chased after the two of them.

Walking along the stone path for a distance of five or six zhang, you will enter a secret room.

Surprisingly, it was not pitch black inside, and the walls of the cave were inlaid with some fluorescent stones that emitted a ghostly light, and although the light was not bright, it was enough to see the surrounding things clearly.

This is a very neatly excavated basement, with a small area, and in the center of the room, there is a stone table.

Sima Duanli was going east and west, knocking on the roof of the cave, estimating the thickness of the distance from the ground.

Mo Li stood in front of a cave wall, looking intently at the few simple line paintings carved randomly like childish graffiti.

Sensing Zhen Bei's approach, he turned his head and said, "Brother Gu, the air in this cave is smooth, it should be a place for the builders to take refuge, so there are other exits here!" ”

Zhen Bei said: "The secret passage will stop here, if there is really a secret passage leading to the outside, most of the exits should be hidden here!" ”

Mo Li agreed: "What Brother Gu said is extremely true! We searched carefully, and luckily we found it! ”

Zhenbei nodded slightly, took a few steps forward, and looked past him to the painting on the wall.

I can vaguely discern that the objects depicted are: a dragon dancing in the wind, a horse, a cow, a girl sitting by a campfire, and a dog lying next to the girl.

Zhen Bei frowned and thought for a long time, this painting is like a childish graffiti, and it seems like a reckless man scribbling casually, does it really mean something?

Suddenly, she caught a glimpse of the figure on the stone table beside her, and suddenly said with joy:

"So that's what happened!".

Mo Li had already given up these murals to study the stone table, and when she saw that there were words in her mouth and a strange expression, she suddenly turned around and walked straight to the opposite wall, her eyes seemed to be looking for something, and she couldn't help but hurriedly ask, "Brother Gu, what have you discovered?" ”

Zhen Bei didn't reply, but said: "Can the emperor know the corresponding position of the object in the painting in the hexagram painting?" ”

Mo Li was stunned when he heard this, looked at the mural again, and muttered: "The horse is dry, the cow is Kun, the dragon is Zhen, the wind is Xun, the fire is Li, the dog is Gen, and the girl is Duan...... No, there is no kan, kan is north in the hexagram, is it-"

He turned his head sharply and looked at Zhenbei in disbelief, at this time, the direction she was standing in was the north!

At this time, Zhen Bei stood on tiptoe and gently removed the only abrupt fluorite in the wall!

Sima Duanli heard their conversation and was walking towards this side.

"This thing can be taken off!"

He looked curious, and as he spoke, he tried to pick at a fluorite beside him with his fingers, and was surprised to find that it was firmly embedded in the wall, and it was impossible to remove it.

At this time, Zhenbei had already stuffed the fluorite into a groove, and a surprising scene appeared!

I saw that the entire north wall was divided into two halves, separated in the east-west direction, and a bluestone-paved passage appeared in front of them!

"Great! We are saved! Sima Duanli laughed loudly a few times and said happily.

As he spoke, he rushed to the exit.

Mo Li hurriedly stretched out his hand, blocked his way, and raised his eyebrows and said: "You are always so reckless, of course this kind of secret passage must be tested in advance, what if there is a trap!" ”

Sima Duanli waved his hand indifferently: "It's not to catch prey, how can there be any traps!" ”

Mo Li ignored him no more, only picked up a stone from the ground and threw it towards the secret passage.

The stones rolled on the bluestone road, and rows of arrows shot out from all directions, hitting the place where the stones rolled!

Seeing this, Sima Duanli was shocked into a cold sweat, if it weren't for Mo Li's prudence and caution, even if his kung fu was not weak, facing these arrow rains with his bare hands, he would inevitably be imprisoned and die here!
