Demon detective

Chapter 207 Negotiations
"The rain falls on the sycamore leaves,

Don't worry about separation and hatred, who will listen?

I pity Gu Hong in his shadow.

A long night of empty memories,
Tossing and turning, I heard the rooster crow.

Suddenly Jue Fang is heartbroken at the end of the world,
Who understands love in this life?

One thought turns into mourning from spring to winter.

Thanks to your unfulfilled wish,
Send me love in the next world.

"This..." Xu Zhen quickly read the content of the letter and asked Lian Ji with his eyebrows raised, "What is this written about? What do you mean?"

Lian Ji remained silent and expressionless.

"Poetry, this is a poem," Sima Xin on the side pinched his beard and said, "Look at this couplet, it is clearly a song called "Linjiang Immortal"!"

"Why is Jiang not immortal?" Dongfang Meiyan got angry in embarrassment, grabbed Lianji's collar, and said angrily, "You crazy bitch, it's already this time, and you still can't tell the truth? Believe it or not, I'll give it to you again. Give you a slap!"

Saying that, Dongfang Meiyan raised her bloody palm.

thump...

At this moment, a more rapid crashing sound came from outside.

The sound of impact was rapid and chaotic, and it was obvious that the people outside couldn't wait any longer.

With the violent impact, the entire secret room trembled, making everyone tremble.

"Yes, it's already that time," Lian Ji calmly pointed to the letter in Xu Zhen's hand, "Why should I lie again? Four of the five containers are empty, and only the last one contains Such a letter!"

"what!?"

Xu Zhen looked at the letter in his hand, unable to relax.

"Five boxes of containers. In such a big container, there is only such a letter?" Sima Xin was also incredulous. He spread his hands and said nervously, "What's 'The Past of the Long Night' and 'Send Me Love in the Next World'? This is clearly This is just a quarrel between friends! This... this, this, this, is obviously nonsense, nonsense!"

"Fang Wubing had already discovered that the weight of the container was wrong when he was robbing and carrying the boxes," Lianji explained, "but he didn't expect that there was only such a letter with no beginning or end in it, oh no, no A poem with no beginning or end!”

"It's a mess," Sima Xin shook his head repeatedly, then clapped his hands and guessed, "Could it be that... the problem lies in the container? There are hidden compartments in the container, and the real thing is actually hidden in... oh... oh no. …”

Si Maxin obviously realized that his thinking was wrong, because the container was provided by Wanfeng Bank, and even if there was a problem, it could not be caused by the container.

"The container was burned by Fang Wubing a long time ago," Lian Ji said. "Before burning, we checked it carefully and there was nothing abnormal."

"So," Dongfang Meiyan still didn't let go, but glared at Lian Ji with ferocious eyes, "The owner of the container spent a huge amount of money to store five containers in Wanfeng Bank 30 years ago, but inside the container, there was only Such a letter?"

"Yes." Lianji nodded, her decisive eyes seeming to say: Believe it or not, I have told you everything I know!
No way?
Through his keen insight, Xu Zhen could judge that Lian Ji probably did not lie, and there was no need to lie.

If it were true, then this would be even more bizarre!

The containers were saved by the mysterious Daxuanti executioner. There are several empty containers, which may be explained by the mystery array.

But what does it mean to leave this letter in the container?

Could it be...that there are clues to the rusty knife hidden in this letter?
Thinking of this, Xu Zhen looked down again and read the poem carefully.

"This... this is obviously written by a woman to her lover!" Sima Xin also speculated, "But obviously, she did not get together with this lover in the end, so she had a grudge against her. , meaning... it’s hard to calm down.”

"Humph!"

Dongfang Meiyan finally pushed Lianji away, then grabbed the letter from Xu Zhen's hand and looked at it carefully.

But I saw that the letter paper was old and yellowed, badly worn in some places, and stained with water or even blood in some places...

"Look at this ink mark, it must be several decades old, right?" She held the letter through the light, trying to see if there was any mystery hidden inside.
However, the letter paper cannot be more ordinary and there is no problem. "You don't need to read it," Lian Ji introduced from the side, "This is the Jinzou Academy. I have used all the methods I can think of, and finally I can prove that this is a letter! And the content of the letter is a poem!

"Haha, isn't it hard to understand?" She said with a bitter smile of self-pity, "Fang Wubing was willing to spend six years in jail just for a poem like this!
"Tell me, isn't this ridiculous, ridiculous? Hahaha..."

Seeing Lian Ji's almost collapsed giggle, Xu Zhen and the other three stopped talking, but quickly communicated with their eyes.

Dongfang Meiyan's eyes showed that she still had doubts about this matter. From the constant opening and closing of her palms, it could be guessed that she wanted to continue to force Lianji.

Sima Xin was obviously messy, confused and overly anxious. His whole body was shaking violently, as if he had Parkinson's disease.

Xu Zhen shook his head slightly at Dongfang Meiyan, which meant to persuade her not to be impulsive.

Xu Zhen believed that Lian Ji did not lie this time, but that there was only one letter in the five-box container was too surprising.

At this moment, the crashing sound outside suddenly stopped.

The people in the secret room waited for a long time, but did not hear the impact again, and even the noise outside could not be heard.

"Hey?" Sima Xin looked hopeful, "Why did you stop? Did something happen outside and someone came to save us?"

Naturally, no one responded to this question, and the secret room gradually fell into silence.

After Sima Xin asked Lonely, he quickly came to the stone gate to check.

As Lian Ji said, the stone door did not show any cracks under such a violent impact, and there was no sign of being broken.

Then, he put his ear against the stone door, wanting to hear what was going on outside.

However, as soon as his ears were pressed together, he saw plumes of thick smoke coming out from the crack in the door under his feet! ! !
"Ah..." Sima Xin was shocked, pointed at the thick smoke and shouted, "No... it's not good, they set fire!"

After hearing this, everyone in the secret room stood up and panicked.

"Quick," Lian Ji quickly pointed to the depths of the secret room, "There is a vat of saliva there. Let's wet our clothes and plug the gaps!"

After everyone heard this, they quickly took off their long robes, tore them into strips of cloth, and then went to the water tank to get some water.

Xu Zhen saw that there was a vat of saliva in the secret room, and he immediately stepped forward to stop everyone.

However, after seeing that the water tank was not only big enough, but also had sufficient water storage capacity, he did not stop him.

Soon, everyone wet their clothes and blocked the gaps in the stone door.

The stone door was heavy and the gap was not big, so after it was blocked, the thick smoke was immediately blocked out.

However, a fire had been set outside and everyone was still in panic.

Although this is a secret room, it is still a room.

If the fire outside gets bigger and bigger, wouldn't it mean that they are being put on the fire and will be roasted sooner or later?

"Wait, wait..." In his anxiety, Sima Xin suddenly thought of something and hurriedly pointed to the old letter in Dongfang Meiyan's hand and said, "Now that we have found the things in the container, should we...? Can we go out and negotiate with them? We...we can't wait to die here!"

"..." Everyone looked at Sima Xin.

"Yes," Sima Xin turned to Xu Zhen excitedly, "Xu Zhen hid Fang Wubing, and Ning Zangfeng also wanted to find Fang Wubing. We...we can use this as a bargaining chip, right? You guys are right its not right?"

"Hmph..." Dongfang Meiyan snorted, obviously agreeing with Sima Xin's proposal.

However, Xu Zhen clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this is a really good idea. Lord Sima, in that case, why don't you go out and talk to Ning Zangfeng?"
