Chapter 241 Wounds
Bao Zheng opened the cuff of Zhu Liu's right arm, revealing three bloody wounds on his forearm.

Luo Yang walked over and took a look, raising his eyebrows slightly: "It's interesting. This wound was not caused by some kind of martial arts. It looks more like the use of some kind of special weapon to cause such an injury."

Bao Zheng's eyes narrowed, and he studied the wound on Zhu Liu's arm for a while, and then asked again: "Master Luo, you have done an autopsy for Uncle Zhang before. I remember you said at that time that Uncle Zhang was bitten to death by a ferocious beast. Is it right?"

Luo Yang smiled and said: "Mr. Bao, I have never said such a thing. What I said at the time was that Mr. Zhang San's wounds seemed to have been caused by a beast's bite. Although there was only one word missing, these two sentences The meaning is completely different.”

Bao Zheng's pupils shrank, he turned to look at Luo Yang, then nodded slightly and said: "I understand."

Bao Zheng put down Zhu Liu's arm.

And just then.

Zhuo Yun also walked out of Zhu Liu's house. When everyone saw him, they immediately turned their attention and asked.

"How about it?"

Zhuo Yun shook his head: "Sixth Aunt, Brother Zhu, and Brother Zhu, they don't seem to know about the secret passage."

"not necessarily."

Ling Chuchu nodded and admitted.

"Yes, the secret passage in my house was accidentally discovered when I was playing hide-and-seek when I was a child."

Facing everyone's gaze, Luo Yang and Bao Zheng looked at each other, and finally Bao Zheng explained: "Zhuo Yun said before that he accidentally discovered the secret passage in his house. I guess the secret passage in your house, Chu Chu, should be the same." Pretty much the same situation!”

Such a positive attitude from the two people immediately caused others to be surprised and asked: "How do you know?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "That must be true."

······
In Li Si's home.

But then, Ling Chuchu couldn't help but worry: "If this is really the case, it will be troublesome. In my father's generation, there were a total of seven sworn brothers, but the second uncle and the fifth uncle had already died of illness. Zhuo Yun’s father also passed away a few years ago, leaving only four of the seven brothers.”

Ling Chuchu just finished speaking.

Ling Chuchu was immediately startled and said in surprise: "How could this happen? Is this secret passage only available to my family and Zhuo Yun's family?"

"not necessarily."

"I don't know, I just have to give it a try."

"Then if we ask our fourth uncle like this, will he tell us?"

After listening to Bao Zheng's explanation, the others suddenly understood.

Since this is the case, it must be the same situation in other people's homes.

Li Si put his hands behind his back, looked at the people in front of him majestically, and said, "How do you know about the secret passage?"

Just listen to Luo Yang and Bao Zheng retort at the same time.

"And now the third uncle and the sixth uncle have suffered accidents again, and my father is unconscious. Doesn't this mean that the only person in the village who still knows about the secret passage is the fourth uncle?"

If my guess is correct, I am afraid that except for Zhuo Yun and Chu Chu, only your respective fathers’ generation know about the existence of the secret passage in your hermit village. "

"That's right. Since the secret passages in your respective homes were accidentally discovered by yourselves. Even Zhuo Yun was beaten by his father after he discovered the secret passage. This means that your father does not want you to Know the existence of the secret passage.

Ling Chuchu stood up and said: "Fourth uncle, Zhuo Yun and I accidentally discovered a secret passage in our own homes before, so we made this guess."

Li Si snorted coldly and said: "Nonsense!"

Ling Chuchu said anxiously: "Oh, Fourth Uncle, don't worry about this kind of thing now. Please tell us whether every household in the village has a secret passage like this. Uncle Zhu Sixth also has one in his house, right?" Li Si was silent for a moment, nodded slightly and said: "Not bad."

"Then where is the secret passage in Sixth Uncle's house? Apart from Fourth Uncle and a few brothers of your generation, who else knows about the existence of this secret passage."

"When this secret passage was first built, only our brothers knew about it. As for the secret passage of the Lao Liu family..."

······
Came to Zhu Liu's home again.

After greeting Zhu Liu's family, Li Si led everyone straight to the study and groped on the bookshelf in the study for a while. After a while, Li Si found the secret passage switch.

After turning gently.

Accompanied by the "rumbling" sound of the mechanism starting up, the bookshelf opened to both sides, and then a dark hole was revealed.

Everyone brought a few oil lamps and went in.

"Mr. Li Si, why did you build this secret passage in the first place?" After entering the secret passage, Bao Zheng couldn't help but ask.

"There are many accidents in the mountains and forests. This secret passage is reserved as an escape passage in case there is an unexpected situation in the village and it is impossible to get out." Li Si walked in front and answered without looking back.

Obviously, this is not true.

But others don't want to say it, so it's hard for everyone to get to the bottom of it.

Walked some distance.

Li Si suddenly raised his right hand to signal everyone to stop advancing, and everyone stopped immediately.

Then Li Si looked down at the ground, bent down and reached out to pick up a dusty "silk thread".

"Is this a spider web?"

Someone recognized what Li Si was holding.

"This secret passage is usually not used by anyone, but now a spider web has been damaged here. So, the masked man before really escaped through this secret passage."

Feng Bo's evil eyes lit up and he said in high spirits.

Bao Zheng held up the oil lamp, first looked down at the ground, then looked up at the wall above, and then asked: "Uncle Li, where can this secret passage lead to in the village?"

Li Si twisted the spider silk in his hand and narrowed his deep eyes, wondering what he was thinking.

It wasn't until Bao Zheng asked that he put away the thread and replied: "This passage connects all the other households in the village, and its end point leads to a location halfway up the mountain outside the village."

"So, that 'masked man' can escape from anywhere."

"Ah? Then wouldn't our efforts be in vain?"

"Hahaha~~ How can we say that this is a waste of effort? Since we have found this secret passage, it means that besides Lao Si, there was indeed another person who appeared in Zhu Liu's house before. Doesn't this just clear Lao Si? Is there any suspicion on Si?"

"Hey, that seems to make sense!"

Deng Baichuan laughed.

The four members of Murong Fu's command seemed very happy. Even though they had not had an attack before, in fact, they still valued Feng BoEi's "innocence".

Not for themselves.

It was for the sake of the Murong family's face. As retainers of the Murong family, they could not accept such a "stigma" even if they were framed.
