On the second day, Ruan Yezhen came to the Kazama Inn early.

To her surprise, Xie Jinlan was already dressed and eating outside.

After raising her eyes and looking at the sky outside the window, after making sure that she had not made a mistake, Ruan Yezhen fell on Xie Jinlan again, looking him up and down.

Such an inconspicuous gaze, if ordinary people could not help but speak.

But is Xie Jinlan an ordinary person?

No! He's not!

So he directly regarded Ruan Yezhen as nothing, and continued to use the dishes on the table slowly.

Therefore, it was still Ruan Yezhen who was defeated.

She didn't ask Xie Jinlan why he behaved so abnormally today, but just told him what she had speculated about last night.

Xie Jinlan glanced at Mo Yan and motioned for him to go back to his room first.

Although Mo Yan didn't understand what his son-in-law wanted to do, he still did as he said.

The door was opened and closed. Hearing the footsteps of Mo Yan gradually moving away, and hearing the sound of the door opening and closing next door, Xie Jinlan put down the chopsticks in his hand, took the handkerchief that had been prepared on the table and gently wiped the corners of his mouth, and then looked at Ruan Yezhen:

"Miss Ruan should also use her brains more in the future, and don't rush to seek answers from others whenever something happens."

The two of them know who this 'other' refers to.

When Ruan Yezhen heard this, she immediately glared at Xie Jinlan angrily: This person, can't you praise people well? Do you have to hurt her heart to be comfortable?

Xie Jinlan accepted it when he saw it, and turned to get down to business:

"Now Aunt Meng's place is being watched closely, once there is anything abnormal, Lu County Ling will immediately receive the news. As for Bai Siyuan's side, he was afraid that he had already noticed that someone was staring in the dark, and the person who was staring was afraid that it was just an ornament. ”

Ruan Yezhen bowed slightly, and then said, "You went to see Huang Jiyi yesterday, what did you hear?" ”

Xie Jinlan shook his head helplessly and said, "That kid is very simple, and he trusts Dr. Liu very much, so he can't say anything. ”

Ruan Yezhen's eyebrows frowned slightly: "That ......"

'Knock knock knock! ’

Just then, there was a knock at the door.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Er's voice came: "Is Gongzi Xie inside?" ”

Xie Jinlan raised his voice and said, "What's the matter? ”

Xiao Er said: "Someone sent a letter, naming him as a son. And the shopkeeper said that the person who delivered the letter told him to hand over the letter to you immediately, as if he was in a hurry. ”

After Xie Jinlan let Xiao Er in, he took the letter and looked at it at a glance.

The more he got to the back, the more solemn his expression became.

After Xie Jinlan finished reading, Xiao Er cautiously asked: "Gongzi Xie, the little one will retreat first?" ”

Xie Jinlan let out a light 'um', and then folded the letter and put it in his arms. Three steps and two steps came to the door of Mo Yan's room, directly pushed open the door, and said quickly: "Come with me!" ”

Without waiting for Mo Yan to react, he walked quickly downstairs.

Mo Yan was only stunned for a moment, and then quickly caught up with Xie Jinlan's footsteps.

When leaving, he did not forget to close and lock the door of his and Xie Jinlan's room.

When I came to the gate of the county government, I saw that Xiuzhu was already waiting here. Seeing Xie Jinlan and Mo Yan, he took them directly and walked inside.

It's just that this is not the hall, but the back door of the county government.

Lu Renjia, Tang Anyu, and Jiang Huaming were already waiting here.

Except for the three of them, there was a small guy at the back door.

Seeing Xie Jinlan's figure, Lu Renjia took a few steps to greet him and said, "The situation is urgent, let's talk while walking." ”

Xie Jinlan solemnly bowed slightly, and didn't ask much.

After leaving the gate, Xie Jinlan learned the truth of the matter from Tang Anyu's mouth.

It turned out that it was Aunt Meng who had an accident!

This was expected by Xie Jinlan.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the person who was watching in the shadows was directly put down by Bai Siyuan. And they also lost the traces of Aunt Meng and Bai Siyuan.

What does Bai Siyuan want to do?

Does he want to confront the government head-on?

Or does he plan to solve Aunt Meng, and from now on the sky is wide and the sea is wide and he escapes?

Could it be that I have guessed his mind wrong all along?

Along the way, Xie Jinlan frowned, his eyes darkened.

Several people came to a relatively secluded alley, and Jiang Huaming said: "This is the place where Aunt Meng and Bai Siyuan disappeared. ”

When everyone heard this, they looked around.

Ruan Yezhen looked around, only feeling that this place was very familiar, as if she had been here.

Fingers unconsciously wrapped around a handful of black hair, Ruan Yezhen twisted her eyebrows and carefully looked at the surrounding environment.

Suddenly, her gaze froze.

It was a very shabby-looking house.

Suddenly, she remembered when she had been here, and couldn't help but look at Xie Jinlan in surprise:

"Xie Jinlan, I have followed Zhang Xi here, there may be something wrong with that house!"

Hearing this, Xie Jinlan looked in the direction of her finger. Then he said to the others, "There may be something wrong with that house." ”

As he spoke, he walked straight to that place, without waiting for their reaction.

Everyone looked at each other and followed him.

Following Xie Jinlan's side into the door, Ruan Yezhen found that all the black cloths covering the cubicle were hanging on one side, and the room was empty.

Ruan Yezhen pointed to those compartments and said to Xie Jinlan: "In the corner of each compartment, there is a loose wooden block. ”

When Xie Jinlan heard this, his eyebrows narrowed, and then he walked to the corner of a compartment and squatted down, and after groping for a while, he made a move.

Seeing him slowly pull out a piece of wood, Lu Renjia and the others glanced at each other, and they all saw puzzlement in the eyes of the other party.

However, although they didn't understand why Xie Jinlan was so familiar with the secret passage here, they wouldn't ask questions at such a moment.

Xie Jinlan asked the others to pull out all the wooden blocks in the dark passages of the rest of the cubicles.

Fortunately, there were not many cubicles here, and in less than a quarter of an hour, all the corners of the cubicles were exposed with a boxy hole, and a little light was letting in.

Xie Jinlan paced back and forth outside the cubicle, his eyes not leaving the hollows.

The rest of the people didn't bother, just waited quietly.

Suddenly, Xie Jinlan paused, and then walked quickly to the innermost compartment.

But he was seen groping around the cubicle.

Wooden stools, bookcases, pen, ink, paper and inkstones on bookcases.

When he found nothing, he began to fumble around the wooden wall again.

Not knowing what he thought, he paused, and looked straight at the wooden beam with the black cloth hanging, his gaze moving slightly, as if he was looking for something.

Suddenly, his gaze froze, and he jumped from the wooden wall to the wooden beam.

Except for Mo Yan and Ruan Yezhen, several people were stunned by his operation.

It's just that what happened next made them even more dumbfounded.

But seeing that Xie Jinlan just pressed lightly on the wooden beam, the wooden walls behind all the compartments slowly rose, revealing a world behind the wall.
