19. Tunnel

The gate of the courtyard was pasted with the seal of the official mansion, and there were two officials standing at the door, seeing Jing Zhaoyin coming in with a group of people, he hurriedly greeted him, opened the courtyard door, but Xu Shu said, "I will go in alone, please wait outside the door for a while!" ”

Lu Jinli naturally followed, Xu Shu entered the courtyard with the support of Bangfeng, Liu Dou said disdainfully behind him, "The shelf is really big, I dare to let the adults wait for her!" ”

"If you can solve the case, don't say that you will call me and others, even if you behead me, I will be willing!" Lu Jinli said leisurely, Liu Dou was proud of his talent, when he first came to the capital, he saw that Lu Jinli couldn't solve the case, and he secretly despised Lu Jinli, and later he couldn't solve the case himself, so his attitude towards Lu Jinli became respectful.

Liu Dou was suddenly speechless.

I haven't cleaned it for half a month, the house has been stained with dust, the food that I haven't eaten has long been moldy and rotten, the air is full of acid, and there is a faint aroma.

An hour later, Xu Shu came out of it, "I still want to go to Guanyin Cave to have a look!" ”

Lu Jinli is naturally allowed, since the leaders have agreed, no one else will object, even Liu Dou will not say a word more.

The Guanyin Cave, which is unattended, has lost its charm of the past, and the bare stones and faint firelight add a bit of gloomy atmosphere.

"Do you know how the villains kidnapped people out of the cave and into the courtyard?" Xu Shu asked.

Lu Jinli replied, "There is a path on the side of the mountain that leads directly to Miaoyue Lake, and then through a forest is the back gate of the courtyard, and people should be sent to the courtyard from this path." ”

Liu Dou snorted lightly, "How can you be sure that the person must have been abducted in the cave?" There is only one exit from this hole, so the suspect is not afraid of being bumped into when he takes someone away? ”

Xu Shu said, "What Mr. Liu said makes sense, so people are not taken away from the road that Lord Lu said!" ”

Lu Jinli was puzzled, "Which way did that come from?" ”

Xu Shu tapped the ground under his feet with his feet, "It's from here!" ”

Lu Jinli was stunned for a moment, and instantly thought that what Xu Shu was talking about was the tunnel, and he hurriedly asked the official to dig it, and sure enough, the position two feet deep below where Xu Shu was standing just now was the entrance to the tunnel.

Lu Jinli's first thought when he saw the authentic was that his black yarn was finally saved, even if Xu Shu couldn't solve the case, there had been progress, and he finally had an explanation for it.

Another detective exclaimed, "We've been here so many times, and we haven't even noticed!" "The entrance to this tunnel is not biased, but they didn't find it.

Xu Shu said lightly, "Because I'm blind, you all believe what you see, but I believe in my own feelings even more!" ”

Everyone is silent, people with normal eyes often rely more on their own eyes, the ground of this Guanyin Cave is paved with wooden boards, how can it seem that nothing can be found, even if the existence of the tunnel is suspected, but the entrance of this tunnel is buried very deep, and it is covered with stone slabs, it is difficult for people to find the difference. But Xu Shu is blind, her hearing and senses are much more sensitive than ordinary people, and she can sense the small differences in every step under her feet.

Lu Jinli arranged for a team of officials to walk through the tunnel, and the rest of the people went directly to the kitchen in the courtyard under the leadership of Xu Shu, "Move that water tank away!" ”

There was a full tank of water in the water tank, poured water, moved the water tank, and the official who had just entered through the entrance came out, "This tunnel is dug very wide, and the four of us don't feel crowded when we walk side by side!" There's also a basket at this exit! There are still some rice bowls and leftovers in the tunnel! And also...... There are still some clogged things......"

Following the official's point, everyone really saw a half-new basket, and Lu Jinli couldn't help but sigh, "If this tunnel had been discovered as soon as possible, the case would have been solved long ago!" ”

Xu Shu also nodded, there is a bowl in it, presumably someone hid in the tunnel when the official messenger came that day, because he was afraid that the official outside did not leave, so he hid in the tunnel for a few days, and later escaped in order to be afraid that people would find the tunnel, and also blocked the entrance and exit.

Xu Shu said suddenly, "I want to go into the tunnel to have a look." ”

An official looked at Xu Shu, who was delicate in pink, and wondered, "The smell here is a little pickled...... "There is something blocked, and the smell inside will definitely not be much better."

Xu Shu still insisted.

Lu Jinli was silent for a moment but still didn't dare to agree, at the entrance of the cave, they all felt that the smell was unpleasant, and they really didn't dare to let Xu Shu in.

"Then let my girl go in for me!"

Lu Jinli agreed, and assigned a few more officials, "You guys take good care of this girl!" ”

Bang Feng entered the tunnel and asked, "Where are the leftovers?" ”

An official immediately came out to show the way, "Girl, watch your step, it's right ahead!" ”

Bangfeng glanced at those rice bowls and meals from a distance and left, but when he came back, he accidentally tripped and was knocked by the basket, but fortunately it was not heavy, and the official who came with him was relieved.

Bangfeng told Xu Shu what he saw, Xu Shu nodded and didn't say anything more after listening, and asked to go back to Beijing, "I need a day to think about it, and I will go to the government the day after tomorrow!" ”

Lu Jinli agreed, but couldn't help asking, "Then the case may be solved the day after tomorrow?" ”

Xu Shu smiled, "Don't worry, adults, it's just a matter of the next few days!" ”

Lu Jinli and Song Hong were overjoyed when they heard this.

After entering the city, Lu Jinli and Song Hong sent Xu Shu back to Xu's house all the way, and the battle was so big that the people on the street avoided it from afar. When they arrived at Xu's house, Xu Guan warmly invited them to sit in the house, but Lu Jinli was anxious to go back and report today's progress to King Ji, and Song Hong was also anxious to tell the Song family the news that Xu Shu said that the case would be solved in two or three days, so as not to worry them, so he didn't leave any of them.

Xu Shu indifferently accepted the enthusiasm of the Xu family, just pinched the corners of his forehead slightly, and the Wang family immediately dismissed everyone and asked the Li family to take Xu Shu down to rest.

Entering the courtyard, Bang Feng suddenly said to Xu Shu, "Qiaoyu was under the corridor just now, her eyes were red, as if she was waiting for Miss ......" glanced at Li, and didn't say the sentence "I left when I saw Mrs. was there".

But Xu Shu understood, and when she entered the house, she asked, "Mother punished the tenth sister?" ”

Li nodded, "She made such a big mistake this time, if I don't punish her severely, she won't be able to stab the sky down in the future!" You have been asleep a few days ago, and I don't have the energy to care about her, I just asked Grandma Sun to detain her, knowing that you are soft-hearted and will intercede for her, so today I punished her but I specifically picked you when you were away! ”

If one daughter is already asleep, why should she call another daughter to suffer? Xu Shu sighed, "I really won't intercede for her this time, she made mistakes in the past, and Seventh Sister and I always intercede for her, and develop her current temperament!" Now that she is still young, she can change it after a hard lesson, so as not to suffer in the future! ”
