Chapter 33: Falling into a Trap
"Pei Ziyu, you go slowly! I can't keep up. Li Mingyue walked briskly on the muddy path, and in three or two steps, her foot suddenly stepped into a small mud puddle, her foot twisted, and she was about to fall.
"Ahh Mingyue exclaimed.
Pei Ziyu immediately turned his head when he heard the sound, and wanted to go to help, but the two were a little far away, and Shen Nanxing, who was walking beside Li Mingyue, happened to be free to help Li Mingyue's arm, "Mingyue, slow down, be careful of falling, come, I'll help you." ”
Li Mingyue: "Thank you, you're much stronger than that Pei Ziyu." Li Mingyue thought to herself, this Gu Kai, not to mention the amnesia, even the demeanor is lost, when you recover your memory, I will slowly calculate this account for you!
Pei Ziyu saw Li Mingyue slandering himself like this, he was already unhappy, his face drooped, and he said impatiently: "I'm going to investigate the case, not to play in the mountains and rivers, and I don't have to ask you to follow, if you don't want to, go home." ”
"Pei Ziyu, you called me over today! If you let me come, I'll have to come right away, and now I don't need me, I'll have to disappear, right? If you have no conscience, last night's fireworks were set off for you! Hum! Let's go! After speaking, Li Mingyue turned around and left with the support of Shen Nanxing.
Pei Ziyu looked at the backs of the two of them in the distance, and he was also angry, Cheng Yuan saw that the situation was not good, so he stepped forward and said: "My lord, Miss Mingyue seems to be really angry, and besides, that Shen Nanxing followed Miss Mingyue away like this, will Miss Mingyue be in any danger?" ”
Pei Ziyu: "It's just an arrogant and arrogant rich kid, it's not a problem." ”
Chengyuan: "However, I think that Shen Nanxing is too attentive to Miss Mingyue......"
"It's important to investigate the case." Before Chengyuan could finish speaking, Pei Ziyu interrupted his words.
“…… Yes......" Chengyuan replied hesitantly, so the two continued to walk forward, and just after taking two steps, Pei Ziyu stopped again, closed his eyes and sighed and said to Chengyuan: "You go and follow the two of them, and when Li Mingyue returns home safely, you will meet with me." ”
"Yes!" Chengyuan turned around and walked quickly in the direction where Li Mingyue and Shen Nanxing left, and after a while, he saw the traces of the two of them, and quietly followed behind.
Li Mingyue: "It seems that this place is a little different from the road we walked just now?" Li Mingyue said as she looked around.
Shen Nanxing: "That's right, that's not the path we took just now. ”
"Huh? You know why you didn't remind me just now? Aren't we lost now? Li Mingyue was slightly flustered.
Shen Nanxing: "Haha......"
"What are you laughing at? Are you happy that we got lost? As she spoke, Li Mingyue hammered Shen Nanxing hard.
Shen Nanxing: "You don't have to worry, I usually come here to relax when I am in a bad mood, I am familiar with the road in this area, I will not get lost, although the paths here extend in all directions, but the law is very clear to me, we only need to walk east for a while, and we will reach the place where the body was found just now." ”
"Whew~ That's good." Li Mingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, followed Nanxing and continued to walk forward, and there was nothing to do on the road, so the two chatted.
Li Mingyue: "Nanxing, do you also live in this Hangzhou city?" ”
Shen Nanxing: "Yes, by the way, Mingyue, if you want to find me in the future, just go to the Shen Mansion in the west of the city to report my name." ”
Li Mingyue: "Shen Mansion in the west of the city? If I'm not mistaken, is it the mansion of that wealthy businessman, Shen Fu? ”
Shen Nanxing: "Yes, Shen Fu is my father. ”
Li Mingyue's jaw dropped suddenly, she shook off Shen Nanxing's hand holding her, and looked at him in surprise, "Oh my God, I saw the real rich second generation today." ”
"Rich second generation? What is the rich second generation? Mingyue, what's wrong with you? Shen Nanxing was about to support Li Mingyue again, but Li Mingyue hurriedly withdrew her hand to dodge and keep a distance from Shen Nanxing.
"No, no, no, I can't afford it, you're too expensive." Li Mingyue's words were slightly cowardly in an instant.
"Mingyue, don't be like this, since I was a child, all the people around me have been so respectful and obedient to me, I can't make a true friend at all, this time I sneaked out of the house, just annoyed with the hypocrisy and flattery around me, meeting you today, making me feel that you are different from those people I knew in the past, but if even you are like this now, I will really be sad again." Shen Nanxing said in disappointment.
Li Mingyue saw Shen Nanxing's eyes drooping slightly, and there was a faint sadness on the corner of her mouth, and she couldn't help but soften, "Okay, okay, I don't mean to stay away from you, it's just that those friends of mine in the past are ordinary people, and now I am suddenly told that I have a local tyrant, no, I am a good friend of a rich child, I just suddenly feel a little unacceptable, I am afraid that I have no common language with you......"
Shen Nanxing: "Then Mingyue, you can treat me as an ordinary person, don't think I'm a rich kid." ”
Li Mingyue looked at Shen Nanxing's expectant gaze and smiled cowardly, "Hehehe~ Well, I'll try my best." ”
"Hmm!" Shen Nanxing smiled happily.
During the conversation, the two continued to walk forward, the road was a little muddy, Li Mingyue lowered her head and gently lifted the corner of her skirt, but the moment she lowered her head, she noticed a muddy footprint on the ground, she immediately stopped her steps, squatted down and looked carefully, Shen Nanxing saw Li Mingyue squatting down and looking at the ground, so she also squatted down, "What's wrong?" ”
Li Mingyue: "Look at this footprint on the ground." ”
Shen Nanxing: "It's just ordinary footprints, they should be left by someone else." ”
Li Mingyue: "No, there is moss on this footprint, we are all from the city, how can the feet be stained with this kind of moss that grows in a damp and shady place, and you see that the mark of this shoe is obviously not the style of shoes that ordinary people and farmers in this vicinity can wear, this person must be the same as us, from the city, and lived in a remote and dark and damp place nearby." Look at the moss and footprints are very new, this footprint must have been left not long ago. ”
Shen Nanxing: "Mingyue, do you suspect that this footprint was left by the murderer?" ”
Li Mingyue: "Hmm. Do you know of any hidden places around here where this moss might grow? ”
Shen Nanxing: "Let me think about it, what are some remote and desolate places around here. Well...... That's right! About five miles from here, there is a deserted land temple, the last time I ran out of my house, it rained heavily, and I stayed there for the night, and there is indeed this kind of moss! The location of that Land Gong Temple is the direction in which Pei Ziyu went to find clues just now! ”
Li Mingyue: "Wouldn't Pei Ziyu be very dangerous, no, I have to go back and tell Pei Ziyu quickly!" ”
Li Mingyue got up and pulled Shen Nanxing to run back, but as soon as she ran two steps, a big pit suddenly fell on the ground, and the two fell into the pit like this. Cheng Yuan, who was secretly following this not far away, ran forward and lay on the edge of the pit with an arrow, "Miss Mingyue, Miss Mingyue, are you okay?" ”
Shen Nanxing heard Chengyuan's shout, rubbed the back of his head and sat up, and then looked at Li Mingyue beside him, only to see Li Mingyue lying on the ground unconscious and motionless, "Mingyue, Mingyue, wake up ......", Nanxing anxiously shook Li Mingyue's arm, at this time Li Mingyue gradually regained consciousness, slowly opened his eyes, and staggered up with Shen Nanxing's support.
Cheng Yuan saw Li Mingyue sit up, and breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, "Is Miss Mingyue injured?" Chengyuan asked anxiously.
"I'm fine, I just fell on my head and it hurts a little." With that, he rubbed his head with his hands.
Chengyuan: "Miss Mingyue, wait a moment, I'll go find a rope." ”
As soon as Chengyuan stood up, Li Mingyue suddenly remembered the important clues that he had just discovered, so he immediately called out to Chengyuan, "Hey~ Chengyuan, wait a minute." "Chengyuan stands.
Li Mingyue: "Just now Nanxing and I found a suspicious footprint, I suspect that the footprints are very likely to be left by the murderer, there are moss that only grow in dark and damp places on the shoe prints, and the place where there is this kind of moss near here is in a deserted land temple five miles away, which is the direction you went just now, I am worried that Pei Ziyu is in danger, you hurry over and remind him to be careful." ”
Chengyuan: "But you ......"
Li Mingyue: "Oh, Nanxing and I are fine, since we have fallen into the pit, it doesn't matter if we stay for a while, you go and remind Pei Ziyu, I'm worried that he is in danger!" ”
Chengyuan hesitated, and Li Mingyue urged, "You go quickly!" ”
"Then Miss Mingyue will stay here first, and when I meet with the adults, I will come over to save you!" After speaking, Chengyuan left.
Li Mingyue breathed a long sigh of relief, and after sitting in the pit for a while, she began to complain: "Strange, when we came over just now, the ground was obviously good, why did the ground collapse when we turned back?" ”
Shen Nanxing explained: "Most of the people who live in this vicinity are poor people who make a living from farming, and they like to chop wood and cut wood to the city to exchange money for a living, and the rainy season is approaching recently, the air is inevitably humid, and it has rained a few days ago, so the land is inevitably soft, and it is not surprising that it can't withstand a few more steps, and it will fall into a pit." ”
After hearing this, Li Mingyue couldn't help but sigh and said, "Hey! It's really bad luck today, I was in a good mood in the morning, but I was first destroyed by someone, and now I feel bad when I fall into this pit! ”
Shen Nanxing saw that Li Mingyue was a little depressed, and wanted to divert her attention, but as soon as his eyes rolled, he began to make things worse, "Ouch, it hurts!" Who said that I was fine, Mingyue, you didn't care if I was injured or not, so you said it's okay, oops......" Shen Nanxing wailed deliberately.
"Huh? Nanxing, are you hurt? Where did it hurt? Li Mingyue played with Shen Nanxing's body back and forth, carefully examining it.
Shen Nanxing saw that Li Mingyue was still quite nervous about himself, and couldn't help but have a wicked smile overflowing from the corner of his mouth, and then quickly retracted and stretched out his right hand, "Look, this is it, it should be that when Fang just fell down, he supported the ground with his palm and hurt his muscles and bones." ”
Li Mingyue: "Huh? Show me, I know some medical skills, let me check if it's serious. ”
"Hey, no need, it hurts even more when you touch it, so forget it." Shen Nanxing was afraid of revealing his stuffing, so he quickly moved his hand to the side.
Li Mingyue: "Really, you still don't believe me, so don't worry, you are a precious person, if you check out something bad again, won't your Shen family want to kill me." ”
Shen Nanxing: "Oops~Mingyue~ Why are you talking about this again." ”
Li Mingyue: "Okay, okay, don't say it, let's just stay in this pit first, Chengyuan rushed over to support Pei Ziyu, I think, even if the murderer is powerful, it will not be the opponent of the two people, let's wait obediently for Chengyuan and Pei Ziyu to come and save us, and when we come out, I will send you back to your Shen Mansion first, and let the people in your mansion quickly invite a good doctor for you." ”
Shen Nanxing listened, lowered his head and smiled, "Mingyue, have you ever thought that you don't have to wait for Pei Ziyu to come, I can also have a way to let you out." ”
Li Mingyue: "Huh? Are you sure? What's the solution? ”
