When the three of them saw that I looked determined, they didn't question anything, and the four of us stuck to the edge of the cliff like geckos and waited for a long time.

Just when even I thought that I might think too much about it, I suddenly heard a sound of footsteps on the road above, as if someone had run over, and a voice asked angrily, "How is it?" ”

Another, slightly higher voice said, "There are some fragments of the carriage here, but there are no corpses!" ”

The previous voice said, "Could it be that they fell underneath?" ”

Then the voice moved in our direction, and a face appeared above our heads, probably trying to look into the river, but it happened to be in front of me looking up.

I saw that this person was dressed neatly in black, and he was holding a sword in his right hand, and he didn't look like an ordinary person.

Before I could do anything, Rui Wei had already jumped up the cliff with his foot a little bit, and at the same time reached out and grabbed the man by the collar and dragged him to the other side of the road.

Then my father also jumped up, Wang Shaoting and I didn't move for a while, listening to the ping-pong above, and it quieted down after a few moments.

Then I saw a black stick stretched out in front of my eyes, and I heard Rui Wei shouting to me, "Come up!" ”

When we went up, we saw that the two men were already tied up and sitting back to back on the ground. The one I've just seen is a little older, probably in his thirties, and the other one is younger, in his early twenties, and all dressed in similar attire.

The two of them were still shouting, "What are you doing here!" We were just passing through! ……”

Rui Wei turned around and asked me, "Do you think these two people are making trouble when the stone falls?" ”

I whispered: "You see this road is quite flat, there is no new soil, there is fine grass growing everywhere, if it is easy to fall rocks, it has already been smashed into potholes and collapsed everywhere, and it has not rained for the past two days, how can the rocks be so easy to loosen?" But in the end, it may be a gut feeling. ”

Rui Wei said "um" and said: "These two people are obviously good at kung fu, and they are not good." ”

I nodded, walked over and crouched down to rummage over the two fellows, and found an iron rod around the young man's waist, one end still cast in a flat shape, and on closer inspection, there was a lot of fresh dirt on it, and some shiny scratches, as if it had just been used.

"Say you two are passing by? So what is this thing for? I asked.

"Hmm...... We want to catch bugs and fish, which is used to dig bug holes......" the man said with a twinkle in his eyes.

Wang Shaoting took the iron rod and looked at it, and said to me, "It's a crowbar." ”

My first feeling at the time was that these two people still have some skills, and they still know how to use leverage, but unfortunately they didn't use it in the right place!

Immediately deliberately showed a fierce face, and said to the two of them: "Don't tell the truth, then I'll use this thing to pry off your teeth one by one, and see how hard your mouth can be!" ”

When they heard this, their faces immediately turned frightened, but they stammered, "I...... We're talking about ...... Tell the truth, ...... Whatever you want...... Okay......"

"Okay, I'll see how hard your mouth is!" I was about to make a bluff when Rui Wei stopped me and asked them, "You said you were passing by, so how do you know that someone here has fallen underneath?" ”

The older one shuddered, "We...... I saw the big stone ...... the carriage."

"See? Look back for yourself, where did you see it? Rui Wei pointed to both sides.

They looked in both directions, and their faces changed suddenly. Because this position happened to be a bend in the mountain road, no matter before or after, unless we were only a few meters away, we could not see where we were.

"We ...... I just saw the boulder fall......" they defended.

"If you only see boulders, then why do you know that the wood chips in this place are a carriage?"

"This ...... We're just guessing......"

And just now you said "did they fall down", if you just happened to see it, how do you know that there is more than one of us?

The two were speechless by her questioning, looking at each other, unable to quibble anymore.

It was the first time that Dad saw Rui Wei's head-catching style, and he couldn't help but give her a thumbs up, and then said sharply to the two: "Now that the human and material evidence is there, if you don't tell the truth again, I will send you to the government now, and look back to see if you can still be forceful!" ”

He originally just wanted to scare them, but he didn't expect that when these two heard the word "official", they seemed to be comforted, and they both showed relaxed looks, and the older one even raised his head and said: "You just send it, we are passing by, and it is the same wherever we go." ”

However, their reaction confirmed my suspicion that these two people must have a strong background to be so fearless. So......

"Indeed, who dares to move the people of the Liu family, it is not that they have eaten the bear's heart and leopard gall." I said with a smile.

Sure enough, the two of them had smug smiles on their faces, showing a full sense of superiority. But smiling and smiling, I felt that it was wrong, looked at each other, and then looked at me, although I didn't say it, but the gaze was obviously asking, "How do you know that we are from the Liu family?" ”。

Seeing that this trick of deceitful rhetoric had been tried and tested, I stood up, looked at them with a smile, and said, "You have not done anything, and if you go back like this, I guess you will not be able to eat and go around." Now I give you two choices, first, tell us everything you know, we are just passing through here, we don't want to get married, so we just leave, hide far away, you go back and say that we fell into the mountain stream, no one will know. Second, bite the bullet and don't say it. Then I won't bother to send you to the government's mansion, just throw it directly to the bottom of this mountain stream, and let you accompany our horse to walk a section of Huangquan Road to save it from being lonely and lonely. ”

When the two of them heard this, they also thought of the pros and cons, and began to hesitate. After a long silence, the older one said as if he had made up his mind, "Okay, I said, actually, ......"

When he said this, my ears sounded like a mountain breeze blowing, and I heard a small "snort" twice, and at the same time, I saw that the person's expression seemed to freeze, and the next half of the sentence was not spoken.

Rui Wei obviously heard the voice, and when he looked over, the two of them had actually been killed at the same time, and after careful investigation, he found a small needle between his neck, and the pinhole was blue and black around it, obviously highly poisonous!

Seeing this situation, Father Yan went to the left, and Wang Shaoting chased to the right, respectively, but they didn't see any figures, it seems that this assassin is also a master of light skills, and he doesn't know where he has slipped away.

I didn't expect this change, and I stood there stunned. It feels almost like the plot of a movie, where the witness dies as soon as he tries to say the name of the murderer.

But every time I see this kind of bloody plot, I always think, since that assassin has the ability to kill witnesses invisibly, why not just kill the investigators? I was caught in the end, not taking off my pants and farting - it took a second time!

The plot in front of me was actually staged vividly in front of me, and I had to realize the old saying: art comes from life.

Daddy walked back and searched the bodies of the two men again, but found no useful clues. The four of us stood there, silent, and for a long time, looking at each other, I raised my chin in the direction of the way I came, and said, "Go back?" The three of them nodded at the same time.

Towards evening, we were back in Rivertown, the last time we were in high spirits, but this time the atmosphere was a little heavy because we were burdened with too many questions.

When we were about to get to the gates, I said to the three of them, "Let's go down the old rules and act separately." Shaoting and Rui Wei are in a group, and my father and I are in a group, whether we have gained anything or not, we will meet here tomorrow night. Shaoting, I know you have something like a flare on your body, and if there is any emergency, you will send a signal, so that we can have a number in our hearts. ”

Wang Shaoting frowned when he heard this, and asked, "Why do you have to work in a group, but I want to be with Rui Wei?" ”

I thought to myself: create a chance for the two of you to be alone, how stupid you say you are! said on his lips: "After all, Rui Wei is the person that the Liu family pays the most attention to, it is safer to have someone by her side, and besides, your clever means can also help her." I'm going to a place where it's not convenient to bring anyone else there. ”

"What about Uncle Yan?" Wang Shaoting asked.

Father Yan raised the dry tobacco in his hand and said with a smile: "The girl hates me for smoking this." ”

"That's it," I said, "besides, Daddy's way is that he is an elder, and he can't talk with a young girl, so you two might as well pretend to be ...... Belch...... Brother and sister, so convenient. ”

Although Wang Shaoting couldn't talk about me, he stared at me with slanted eyes and a look of distrust.

Rui Wei couldn't hold back when he heard that we were pushing each other, and shouted: "Who wants you to protect, you will only drag me back!" I'm going to do it myself, too! ”

I pulled her arm, turned my back and whispered: "Senior sister, I said this to give Shaoting face, he is a bit natural, and his martial arts are not good, which is the material for investigating the case, you should be good and cover him a little, how about it?" ”

Rui Wei pouted and said: "Saying that his martial arts are not good, I don't think you are much better, why don't you find someone to protect you?" ”

"They all said that it was inconvenient to take others to the place I was going to."

"Where is it inconvenient to take someone with you?" She had to get to the bottom of it.

"Qinglou." I said angrily.

When she heard this, her face changed drastically, her cheeks were red, her eyebrows were full of anger, and she pointed at me and was speechless for a long time. When he reacted, he pulled Wang Shaoting's sleeve and shouted, "Nerd, let's go!" After that, he didn't wait for him, and ran away first.

Seeing this, Wang Shaoting had no other choice, so he had to trot after her.

When Dad saw me standing there and watched their backs disappear, he smiled and said, "Stinky boy, I don't know how to find a better way to lie, is it appropriate for you to hurt her so much?" ”

"Huh? Did I hurt her? "I was taken aback.

Dad sighed and said, "I'm an old man, I don't understand the affairs of you young people, but anyone can see that you are in the girl's heart, and you are usually very smart, why are you so dull to yourself?" ”

He just shook his head and walked away, leaving me standing alone.

I'll admit that it's not appropriate to lie about going to a brothel in front of a girl, but we're used to laughing and scolding and joking with each other, and I didn't think about it.

What Rui Wei thinks of me, I probably feel a little bit, but I, Tao Yong, am really just a passerby in this era, and I settled here by chance, all for the sake of this little Dan furnace in my arms, but I just drifted with the tide in the arrangement of fate, and I can't plan any future like ordinary people, and I still have this self-consciousness all the time.

Besides, Wang Shaoting has a heart for Rui and I also know that robbing women with my brother is not my style! ……

Uh, anyway, the most important thing now is to figure out the purpose of the Liu family's plot against us, well, I think......

It was slowly getting dark, I was thinking about walking at the same time, I was so engrossed that I didn't notice that something suddenly appeared in front of me, and my forehead hit it with a "bang", which made me take several steps backwards, and I squatted down holding my head and screamed in pain, and it took me a long time to recover.

Looking up, it turned out to hit a big round stone, the shape and pattern like a drum, I remember that many old houses will put this thing in front of it, it seems to be called "drum stone", generally put this thing people are not rich or expensive.

Looking up at the face of this house, hey, why is it so familiar?
