Zhao Wu slumped on the ground, looking at the sky with dull eyes, his mind was full of that vivid face, that red clothes, and that dazzling golden hairpin. Remorse! robbed the tomb for more than ten years, and that was the only one that Zhao Wu regretted.

Come on! This is the retribution I deserve! Zhao Wu waited for death to come.

I don't know how long it took, Zhao Wu felt that his body was getting lighter, leaving the ground and floating into the air. Is this what death feels like? Zhao Wu wanted to open his eyes to see, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't open his eyes. This reminded him of what happened a few days ago, and an inexplicable fear immediately appeared in his heart.

Don't? Don't! No! No!

Zhao Wu struggled desperately, trying to straighten up, wanting to shout loudly, but his throat seemed to be blocked by something, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make any sound.

No! No!

Zhao Wu cried in his heart, because he had a premonition of what might happen next, and he had a premonition of the way the other party was preparing for him to die. However, he can't accept it, he doesn't dare to accept it, he can't bear it!

Don't! Please! Don't!

Zhao Wu continued to shout in his heart, but he still couldn't make any sound, let alone make any movements.

Up, up, down, down.

Bang!

Zhao Wu felt that he had landed on the ground and felt that he had regained his freedom, so he hurriedly opened his eyes and reached out to touch the surroundings. Surrounded by cold, smooth walls, above is a starry night sky. Zhao Wu held the ground with both hands, and just as he was about to stand up, a huge lid fell from above, and Zhao Wu immediately fell into darkness.

And so it was! I was really nailed into a coffin!

What to do? What to do? Zhao Wu felt that it was becoming more and more difficult to breathe, and he felt that his consciousness was becoming more and more blurred. No! I'm alive! Still alive!

Zhao Wu fell into an endless panic, and began to stretch out his hands and touch around, trying to straighten up. However, there were smooth walls all around, and the lid above it was heavy and hard, and no matter how hard he tried, the lid did not move.

Fear!

After some hard work, Zhao Wu clearly realized that he had been buried in the ground and could no longer escape. Finally, Zhao Wu cried bitterly.

Despair!

Finally came to the final stage. After crying enough, Zhao Wu curled up in a ball, quietly waiting for death to come. However, when Zhao Wu remembered the money he had hidden, the hardships he had suffered, and the grievances he pretended to be fearless, he was unwilling to come to his heart again. So, Zhao Wu stretched out his hands and began to scratch the heavy plank above his head.

Creak... Creak...

The creaking sound sounded again, but this time it was different from before, because this time it was the sound that Zhao Wu scratched himself. The sound is not unpleasant. In this underground that was cut off from everything, in this dark and enclosed space, this voice became Zhao Wu's only hope.

I don't know how long it took, but Zhao Wu finally stopped. At this time, there was not the slightest pain on his face, but a look of serenity.

Sou!

A white light flashed, and a figure appeared in the courtyard of the king's shopkeeper's house. This figure looks tall and slender, and his long hair makes people feel more elegant and chic.

"Where?" The figure looked around as he spoke, and was finally attracted by a large vat on the side of the courtyard wall. This large vat is about 1.2 meters high and about 1.5 meters in diameter, which was originally used to store water and prevent fire, and at this time it was covered with a door panel, and a huge stone was pressed on the door panel.

Sou!

The white light flashed again, and the figure came to the front of the vat, stretched out a hand and waved it lightly, and the huge stone flew away from the door panel and landed next to the vat. The figure waved his hand again, and the heavy door panel flew into the air like a piece of paper, leaning against the wall.

"It's too late!" The figure leaned over and looked into the vat, then shook his head, and was about to turn away, but as if remembering something, he took out a blank piece of paper from his bosom, wrote a few words on the white paper with his fingers, and pasted it on the water tank.

After that, the white light flashed, and the figure disappeared again.

………

Li You sat at the desk and looked at the files with full attention. Wang Miao stood beside Li You, looking absent-minded.

"Miao'er, is this person guilty?" Li You looked at the case file and habitually asked Wang Miao, but Wang Miao still showed an incredible expression. "Childe, why do you have to ask me every time? I don't understand. ”

"Hey! All right. Li You looked disappointed. Can't you just look at the dossier? Next time, try to pass the victim to the lobby and let Wang Miao identify it on the spot. Li You pondered secretly.

Because he knew that the hedgehog divine beast was lodged in Wang Miao's body, Li You had always held a hint of luck, feeling that since the hedgehog divine beast had the ability to distinguish between right and wrong, then Wang Miao should also have it. However, after trying a few times, Li You was a little desperate.

After Li You came out of the Gaotao tomb, he first held a wedding for Liu Zhong and Chun Tao, and then put all his energy on dealing with the backlog of cases, and in just three days, he dealt with half of the old cases. After Gaotao's guidance and tempering, ordinary cases are no longer a concern for Li You.

"The Jin family's chickens were lost again?" Li You reopened a dossier, thinking that he had made a mistake, but after looking through it again, he was sure that this was a case that had just been filed. Why did you lose it again? In Li You's impression, since the day he took office, the Jin family has kept reporting the case, saying that the chicken was lost, and now it has been more than two years, and the chicken is still being lost. No, I have to go to the scene to see what kind of family this Jin family is, and they lose chickens all year round.

Li You made up his mind and stood up. "Wang Miao, let's go to this Jin family to have a look." "Yes!" When Wang Miao heard that he was going out, he was immediately overjoyed. Finally, I don't have to be tortured by cases anymore! I don't know how to handle cases at all, I really don't know what's wrong with my son, and I ask myself when I have a difficult question, which is really inexplicable.

The two walked out of the study and came to the top of the lobby.

"Master, it's not good! Oh no! At this time, Liu Zhong ran into the lobby sweating profusely, with a panicked face.

"What's wrong again?" Li You frowned, looking helpless. Liu Zhong is still the same, no matter what happens, he is a reaction that the sky is about to fall.

"Zhao Wu, Zhao Wu..." Liu Zhong ran out of breath, and before he finished speaking, he bent down and gasped for breath.

"What's wrong with Zhao Wu?" Hearing Zhao Wu's name, Li You immediately became alert. Originally, Li You wanted to deal with Zhao Wu's affairs as soon as possible, but since returning to the county office, Zhao Wu has not shown up, according to the chief bookkeeper Yang Ming said that he was on sick leave, Li You could only give up temporarily, but he still had this root in his heart.

"Zhao Wu, dead!" After Liu Zhong took a moment of breath, he finally finished speaking.

"Dead? How did he die? Li You couldn't believe it, so he immediately asked Liu Zhong.

"I don't know." Liu Zhong shook his head.

"Don't know? Don't know what that means? Li You stared at Liu Zhong angrily. Zhao Wu is in the prime of life, it is impossible to die naturally, then there should be a reason, this Liu Zhong actually said that he didn't know, it was too unreasonable.

"I really don't know, it looks good on the surface, but it just doesn't have breath." Liu Zhong hurriedly explained.

"On the surface?" Li You frowned again. "When did you die? Where is it now? ”

"It should be three or four o'clock today, in the vat of the king's shopkeeper's house."

"In the vat?" Li You was confused by what Liu Zhong said. "Let's go! Go live! Li You didn't want to entangle with Liu Zhong anymore, so he led Wang Miao straight out of the county office. Liu Zhong hurriedly followed.

After leaving the county government for more than ten minutes, Li You and his entourage came to the shopkeeper Wang's house. Li You stood at the door of the door of the shopkeeper Wang's house and looked up, and found that there was a white cloth hanging on the lintel and a white lantern hanging under the porch. "Master, the shopkeeper Wang was gone yesterday, presumably Zhao Wu was invited to help, who knew that he died in the water tank."

Li You nodded after hearing this, and walked straight to the courtyard. There were dozens of people around the courtyard, and a woman's cry came from inside.

"Let's let go, let's let go, our master has arrived!" Liu Zhong shouted loudly. When everyone heard Liu Zhong's words, they immediately split to both sides and gave way to a passage. Li You, Wang Miao, and Liu Zhong walked through the passage and walked in.

The water tank was located by the wall, surrounded by a circle of officials, and several people stood beside the water tank, and a woman was sitting on the ground, and this woman was crying loudly at the water tank. Li You approached, and when the woman saw Li You, she immediately turned around and knelt down, and kept shouting grievances to Li You. "Master, Lord Qingtian, you want to be the master of the people's women, woo..."

"Who are you, woman?" Li You hurriedly asked.

"Returning to my lord, I am Zhao Wu's insider, Zhao Feng, you want to be the master of the people's women." Zhao Fengshi kowtowed to Li You again, Li You wanted to step forward to support but felt that men and women could not kiss, so he tried to look at Wang Miao.

When Wang Miao saw it, he immediately understood, walked straight to Zhao Feng's side, and with a slight pull, Zhao Feng's soared into the air, screaming loudly in fright, Wang Miao just hurriedly reached out and caught Zhao Feng's and put it on the ground. Everyone let out a burst of exclamations, and they all looked at Wang Miao in disbelief. Li You glared at Wang Miao a few times, Wang Miao scratched his head and laughed embarrassedly.

"Zhao Fengshi, don't be too sad, this official will find out the cause of your husband's death and give you justice." After Li You finished speaking, he walked straight to the water tank, and the first thing he noticed was the note on the water tank.

"Tank-door panel-stone-no monster!"

What does that mean? Li You couldn't help but look at this note with a smile, although he was not completely sure, but he also understood seven or eight points in his heart. So, Li You walked to the front of the water tank and looked carefully into the water tank.

In the water tank, Zhao Wu leaned on the side of the water tank, looked up at the sky, put his hands on his sides, and looked peaceful, as if he was asleep. However, there were a few traces of blood on his face, and all the nails of his fingers were turned up, and blood flowed from his fingers, and the coat on his body was red.

This finger was obviously broken by scratching the hard object continuously. Thinking of this, Li You couldn't help but smash his tongue. What did this Zhao Wu go through after all, he fell into such a desperate situation, so that he was able to bear such pain!

Thinking of this, Li You turned his head to look at the door panel standing by the wall. The door panel was covered with scratch marks, and all of them were bloodstained, obviously caused by Zhao Wu before he died.

I see!

At this time, Li You had already determined the meaning of the note. Zhao Wuding was locked in a cylinder, and the door panel was covered with a door panel, and a stone was pressed on the door panel. Zhao Wu couldn't push the door panel, so he kept scratching with his fingers, and finally couldn't scratch the heavy door panel.

Thinking of this, Li You stepped forward to take a closer look, and found that the door panel was not tightly sealed, although it was subtle, but there was indeed a gap, and the mouth of the water tank was not flat, even if the door panel was pressed with stones, it was impossible to form a closed space. In other words, Zhao Wu was not suffocated.

However, if it was not suffocation, then what was the cause of his death? Besides, who left this note? And why did he leave this note?

Li You's brows furrowed, and he fell into deep thought.
