Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 102 Tracking ([-])

Next to the Cuiping River, two large logs float on the bank.

Li Yuanfang and Yingyu each held a log.

Li Yuanfang handed the reed in his hand to Yingyu, and said, "Grab the lower end of the wood, breathe through the reed tube, and don't show your head! If you are lucky, you will be able to float out of Cuiping Mountain before noon."

Yingyu looked at the reed in her hand and asked suspiciously: "Is this okay?"

Li Yuanfang said: "I have to try!"

Yingyu nodded.

The Cuiping River is rushing torrents with murmurs of water.

On both sides of the river bank are reeds as tall as a person. When the breeze blows, the reeds sway constantly and make a rustling sound.

The moment the reed swayed, the killer hiding in it was revealed, and they stared at the river quietly, motionless.

Suddenly, two black spots appeared on the far river.

The killers in the reeds were startled, and a leader of the killers said softly: "All eyes are wide open, staring at the river carefully!"

The killers answered "Yes" in unison.

Soon, the black spot on the river surface was getting closer and closer, and in a blink of an eye, driven by the current, it rushed to the front.

Only then did the killers see clearly that the two black spots were two thick logs, and the killers in the reeds heaved a sigh of relief.

The log drifted down the water quickly, and on the surface of the water, the two reed tubes kept bubbling.

When the first log floated past the eyes of the killers, the leader of the killers frowned in confusion.

Soon, the first log floated past.

When the second log arrived, the leader of the killer jumped up from the reeds, pointed at the log, and shouted: "Quick, stop that log!"

In an instant, several hooks stretched out, caught the second log, and pulled it to the shore.

A killer turned the log for a closer look, and said doubtfully, "No one."

The killer leader frowned and said softly: "Push back the log and continue to hide."

The killers answered "Yes" and continued to hide.

However, the killers didn't see it. Just beside the reed not far away, a reed pipe sticks out of the water, bubbling.

The river has rushed out of Cuiping Mountain, the water surface is open, and the water momentum is gradually easing down.

Two logs drifted down the current, and suddenly a splash of water sprayed up on the surface of the water, and a person got out from under the log, panting heavily, it was Yingyu.

She reached out and pulled out the reed tube from her mouth, and turned around.

In the distance, another log was slowly drifting over, without Li Yuanfang's shadow, Yingyu was startled, and softly shouted: "General Li! General Li!"

no answer.

When the log floated closer, Yingyu swooped over and turned the log, but there was no one below, and Li Yuanfang disappeared.

Yingyu was frightened.

In the distance, a man in black came galloping along the river bank.

The killers in the reeds were startled and pulled out the knives around their waists. The leader of the killers stood up and shouted, "It's one of our own!"

Soon, the man in black rushed to the leader of the killer and said loudly: "There is an order from above, everyone withdraw immediately!"

The killer leader was stunned: "Where's Li Yuanfang?"

The man in black said: "The higher-ups said leave him alone, the plan has changed."

The killer leader nodded and waved at everyone, and the killers quickly withdrew from the reed.

After the killers had left, there was a sudden "squeak" in the river, and a person emerged from the water beside the reeds. It was Li Yuanfang.

Panting heavily, he wiped the water from his face and looked into the distance.

The figures of the killers are getting further and further away.

Li Yuanfang pondered for a moment, then jumped ashore and followed the group of killers.

……

The courtyard in Cuiping Mountain was full of imperial guards and government officials.

Two guards shook the reel, and a huge bamboo basket was raised to the mouth of the well, and Di Renjie sat inside.

Zeng Tai, who was standing at the mouth of the well, saw Di Renjie coming up from the well, and hurriedly supported Di Renjie, saying, "Mr. Ge, please slow down."

Di Renjie nodded slightly.

Soon, the two walked to the small courtyard and carefully observed the courtyard.

The yard is very spacious, Di Renjie looked at the yard and said, "It seems that this is their lair."

Zeng Tai nodded.

Di Renjie ordered loudly: "Come on, search immediately!"

Everyone agreed and ran to the room.

Di Renjie said to Zeng Tai: "Do you understand now, why did Liu Da go to the small building?"

Zeng Tai shook his head.

Di Renjie said: "I think it's like this. When they learned that Liu Da had fallen into our hands, they wanted to kill people to silence them. But the village was heavily guarded, so they couldn't do anything. Moreover, Liu Da was very skilled in martial arts. Killing him was not easy."

As he said that, such a picture flashed in Di Renjie's mind.

In the middle of the night, a black-clothed killer came out of Liu Da's room through a secret passage, and the black-clothed killer knocked on the east wall a few times.

Liu Da's ears moved slightly, and he pulled away the gray bricks on the wall, opened the dark wall, and stepped into the dark passage.

After entering the secret passage, Liu Dayi cupped his fists: "You are here!"

The black-clothed killer said: "The higher-ups order you to escape from Liujiazhuang through the secret passage."

Liu Da nodded: "Great, shall we go now?"

The black-clothed killer said, "Right away!"

Liu Da nodded and walked into the secret passage first.

The black-clothed killer followed closely, and when Liu Da reached the secret door, the black-clothed killer said, "I'll activate the mechanism."

Liu Dayi cupped his fists: "I'm sorry."

After speaking, the killer in black activated the mechanism in the news room.

The secret door opened, and Liu Da walked into the small building.

At this moment, suddenly, the two pieces of copper nets quickly closed towards the middle, and Liu Da's face changed drastically: "Wrong, wrong, stop quickly."

The black-clothed killer didn't respond, Liu Da had no choice but to tiptoe and jumped onto the beam.

With a sound of "cang clang", the standing knife on the beam was activated, Liu Da's feet were pierced, and he fell into the copper net screaming.

……

Di Renjie said to Zeng Tai: "That's it, the life of a lackey is over."

Zeng Tai asked suspiciously: "Ge Lao, they exposed all the information about the organs in the village and the location of the lair in order to kill Liu Da. Is it worth it?"

Di Renjie sneered: "If Liu Da's mouth is pried open by us, what will be exposed is not only the organization and the lair, but the whole plan. Do you think it's worth it?"

Zeng Tai sighed in admiration: "It makes sense, but it's a lowly position and dull."

Suddenly, Di Renjie sighed: "We have encountered a very powerful opponent. He seems to know every move we make in advance, so he made arrangements in advance."

Zeng Tai asked: "Who is this opponent you are talking about? Is it Liu Chali?"

Di Renjie shook his head disdainfully: "No, he is just a small role in this play, a very small role. Our opponent is a master of cunning and unusual, he confuses me and makes me feel at a loss. Could it be, He really has no flaws..."

Di Renjie paused for a moment, and then said: "I don't believe it! There will always be flaws in everything that is fake, but we haven't found it yet."

As soon as the words fell, a guard rushed over: "My lord, I found a few things in the house, come and have a look!"

Di Renjie raised his eyebrows: "Oh? Let's go and have a look."

With that said, Di Renjie and Zeng Tai walked quickly into the room.

A purple robe and a black mask were thrown on the table in the room.

Di Renjie walked to the table and reached out to pick up the purple robe. He looked at it quietly and murmured: "Why did he keep this?"
