0020 Cracks in the Plains
After listening to Yun Qi's statement, Cen Mu had an understanding of what happened back then.
Cen Mu asked, "Is the relationship between your sister and brother-in-law good?" ”
Yun Qi said: "Their relationship is very good! Although my brother-in-law ranks first among the three sons, he is a single-minded person, character, character and talent, impeccable, he has a wife, the wife is the Lu family, the two are political marriages, they have been married since childhood, my brother-in-law does not love her, after my brother-in-law accepted my sister, he has never found other women, when I was an apprentice, I often saw them kiss me and me, envy others, and I also made fun of my sister. ”
Cen Mu groaned: "This case is actually not complicated, and your sister's suspicion can be ruled out from the motive."
First of all, assuming that she really stole the Yun family's secret method, there is no need for her to make such a decision in order to cover up the theft of the secret method, what can't the couple discuss?! Do you have to kill them?! Your sister is not stupid!
Secondly, from the perspective of gains and losses, your sister is the second biggest victim in this case, poisoning Yun Che will not do her any good, not to mention taking the risk of committing a crime, but your brother-in-law's eldest brother has the most benefits, and he is the person with the most motive to kill.
So, I'm a little puzzled, why hasn't anyone come out to question such a clear thing? What about the contemporary head of the Yun family? Doesn't he like this little son the most? Why didn't he come forward at this time? ”
Yun Qi replied: "At that time, he had already suffered a stroke, was paralyzed in bed, and was unconscious. ”
Cen Mu bowed his head slightly and said, "Okay! No wonder! From this point of view, this eldest prince is very suspected of committing a crime, and I think his influence is quite great! One person planned this matter, and he actually silenced the entire family, and tacitly acquiesced in his persecution of your sister and brother-in-law! It's like covering the sky with one hand! He has so much influence, why can't he get the favor of the old master?! It's not scientific! ”
"I once suspected it was him, but there was no evidence!" Yun Qi swung his fist down, gritted his teeth and said: "He doesn't have that much ability, as the concubine of the Yun family, he likes to find flowers and ask willows, and he loves to hook up with his wife the most, every year the Yun family has to spend money to wipe his ass for him, and make some bad things, his reputation is quite good outside, because someone in the Yun family helps him with public relations, and he does a lot of things behind his back, and internally, he is notorious, but because he is the only son of the main room, everyone dares to be angry and dare not speak!" That time, he was coerced by the orders of the Holy Sect, and the fox and the tiger were powerful and powerful, because killing the husband was a taboo of the Holy Sect, one of the greatest evils! ”
Cen Mu sighed: "Okay! With the participation of the Holy Sect, the problem is complicated, and it seems that only by asking the people back then can we find out the real reason. ”
At this time, Xiao Mustard whimpered: "Brother Xiao Cen, can you help me find out about my parents?" ”
Cen Mu touched her head and said, "We will do our best, but this matter can't be rushed, more than ten years have passed, and we may not be able to find conclusive evidence." ”
Yun Qi sighed: "I'm afraid of this problem, Yun Qian has been in charge of the Yun family for more than ten years, and he has enough time to eliminate the clues of this case back then, he is originally a sinister and cunning person, it is impossible not to do this, I am even worried that the person who let me go back then has been found out by him." ”
Cen Mu shook his head and said: "Your thinking is not right, my idea is relatively simple, that is, you don't try to reason with the Yun family, let's drive the chariot into Luke City, use a gun to Yun Qian's head to force the things of the year, and use strength to crush everything, I believe the truth will naturally surface." ”
The wrinkles on Yun Qi's face unfolded, and he smiled: "That makes sense!" It seems that I have been trying to find evidence through criminal investigation to prove that my sister is innocent, or to prove that the murderer is someone else, but now I feel that things have become simpler when I hear you say this. I think that even if Yun Qian's dead duck is stiff and refuses to say anything, someone will stand up and say it, and I believe that there are still some people in the Yun family who have a conscience. ”
"There is no need to rush to investigate this matter, and you don't need to contact your old person in the Yun family for the time being, after such a long time, I don't know if the person is still there, and I don't know if the person has changed, we will definitely have the opportunity to clarify this matter if we go at our own pace!"
"Hmmm! You're in control. ”
……
The outer wasteland of the Bounty Plains is a lush meadow, with cistanche, rhino horn, aloe vera, Tianlun pillar, sand holly, and all kinds of unnamed plants, clumps after clumps, growing in the sandy alkaline land, and they are extremely vibrant. The abundant vegetation gives rise to a complete food chain, and in the meadows there are a wide variety of insects and reptiles, one ring after another, and in the seemingly calm environment, fierce life-and-death struggles are taking place, all fighting for survival, hunters to fill their stomachs, and prey to escape.
The complex environment makes the trek very hard, to avoid some dangerous creatures hidden in the bushes, to take a lot of detours, a straight line distance of 80 kilometers, the actual walk down is probably more than 100 kilometers, in a day to walk such a section of the road is probably only the ability can do, ordinary people do not have this physical strength.
The three of them chatted while walking, and after walking about twenty kilometers, Little Mustard showed a tired look, but she didn't say anything, silently gritted her teeth and insisted, she didn't want the two of them to think that she was a drag bottle, after all, she insisted on coming out, in fact, staying in Bounty Town, being with Catherine, was as safe, and it would greatly reduce the burden on the two.
Cen Mu stopped and asked, "Can't bear it, right?" Do you want to carry you away? ”
Little Mustard knew that they had seen that they were holding on, and squirmed: "It's still my uncle's back to me, right?" ”
Yun Qi suddenly felt very strange and asked, "Don't you like to be with Xiao Mu?" Why do you have to carry your uncle again now? Shy? ”
"Uncle has a lot of strength!"
Yun Qi laughed, naturally understanding her little daughter's thoughts, and she knew that it hurt at a young age.
Cen Mu pretended not to understand and said, "Old Yun, we have to work harder!" Fight to get to the border of Bounty Plains before dark. ”
"Okay!"
……
Yun Qi and Cen Mu walked, and their speed immediately increased, and they traveled for nearly a hundred kilometers in a straight line throughout the day's long journey, until they saw a huge gap in front of them, which was the boundary between the Bounty Plains and the Woodwoodlands.
Cracks in the plains.
I don't know if it's because the natural plate subsidence has torn the continent, or because of the cracks that the nuclear bomb energy exploded, the rift boundary on the left and right sides can't be seen, and it extends into the fog, with a width of nearly fifty meters before and after, and the height difference between the two landmasses is about three meters, and the bounty plain is higher on average.
Standing on the edge of the crack and looking down, they could see the black rocks, the cliffs covered with moss and weeds, and the bottomless gaps, and from time to time they felt a faint smell of sulfur coming out of the cracks.
Cen Mu couldn't help but sigh, could it be that this crack went straight to the depths of the earth's heart?!
Compared with the cracks in the plains and the insect swarm canyon, the length and width are inferior, but the depth is probably far more than the insect swarm canyon, Cen Mu kicked a stone down, waited for more than a minute, and did not hear an echo, either the stone has not yet reached the end, or the stone has reached the end, but because it is too deep, the sound is so subtle that it cannot be heard, no matter which of the two possibilities, it can explain the problem.
Feeling the strong wind of the cliff, Yun Qi said solemnly: "Xiao Mu, you have to be very careful here, if you fall, there will be no way to live, there are many people who have tried the depth of the cracks in this plain, curious, arrogant, arrogant, cautious, almost none of them have fallen to a good end, the only few who survived were people, after falling, the stones and weeds that climbed the rock wall were pulled up by others with ropes. ”
Little Mustard Timidly stretched out his right hand from behind Yun Qi's back, felt the power of the strong wind, and said, "What a strong wind!" It's dizzy to look at, you still dare to stand on this side! ”
Cen Mu said: "Doesn't this crack look like it was formed naturally? ”
"I don't know where it came from, but it's been around for nearly a hundred years! I don't know where it came from anyway. ”
Cen Mu gestured and said: "With a width of more than fifty meters and a height difference of about three meters, for a strong person, as long as you sprint here, you should be able to jump directly over it, but it is difficult to say the other way around." ”
Yun Qi shook his head vigorously and said: "Don't want to jump over, as long as someone on the other side shoots you, you will be in danger, if you fall, you will die, there is no other possibility, many people have suffered this loss, I know that you are fast, but you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case." ”
Cen Mu bowed slightly, and sighed: "It's simply a natural line of defense, as long as we hold this side and cut this bridge, no matter how many Holy Sect troops come, it's useless, we have a geographical advantage." ”
"It's okay to use this area as a defensive line, but three kilometers ahead, the cracks are almost closed together, and the width on both sides is only about three meters, and there will be a breakthrough over there, so don't be too optimistic."
Cen Mu nodded in understanding and said, "Let's talk about it!" It's not that time yet, but when we get back, we can probably send some brothers to keep an eye on this side. ”
As he spoke, Cen Mu saw an iron-locked bridge between the cliffs on both sides in the distance, and asked, "Yun Lao, who built this bridge?" ”
"I don't know, it's been a long time, you ask Mr. Franklin, he probably knows the details."
It seems that the bridge still has some origins, and I can go and see it tomorrow.
Cen Mu saw a few vague figures by the bridge again, he pointed to those people and asked, "Old Yun, who are those?" It's so late in the day, still wandering by the bridge? ”
Yun Qi opened his eyes and muttered, "It should be the wilderness wanderers around here!" During the day, there are small towns around that will send troops to guard the bridge to prevent anyone from breaking the rope bridge, and in the evening when they go back to rest, some ruffians will gather here to bully scavengers and some weak homeless people, and collect bridge tolls. ”
"And who's in charge of this bridge?"
"No one cares, the surrounding towns help to guard, that is, because they have a deal with the opposite side, use livestock to transport goods, and need this bridge, so they spontaneously protect it, as for the night, they can't care so much, those ruffians won't do that kind of stupid thing that hurts others and is not beneficial to themselves."
