Detective Di Renjie's legend of Wu Dynasty

Chapter 785 Missing
He turned around abruptly and asked the guard, "Have you seen her?"

The guard said: "I seemed to be following when I went down the mountain. Later, the mountain road was too dark, no, I didn't see it."

Ruyan tremblingly said: "What, lost it!"

Wang Mang took a deep breath and said, "She must have heard our conversation, this little girl..."

Di Renjie frowned, thinking deeply.

Li Yuanfang stomped his feet and said, "I'll go back and find her!"

Ruyan said, "I'll go with you!"

Suddenly, Di Renjie raised his head: "No! Entering the village now is tantamount to scaring the snake. Don't worry, this Shangling Village is the end of the road. She can't go anywhere else, so she can only hide in the village."

Di Renjie continued: "At present, one thing is certain, the gangsters have never dug more than one or two caves in the village. Therefore, the missing silversmith is likely to be hidden here."

Wang Mang and Zeng Tai looked at each other, they nodded and said, "I think so too."

Di Renjie said: "I see it this way, let's divide into two groups.

Jing Yang, Yuan Fang, Zhang Huan and Li Lang and I followed the carriage to see where they were going. "

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang nodded.

Di Renjie continued, "Zeng Tai, Ruyan, and Fenghuang are still in ambush here. They only need to wait for the carriage to leave, and immediately enter the village. First, to find the princess, and second, to search all the caves in the village to find the missing silversmith!"

Zeng Tai, Ruyan and Fenghuang said in unison: "Yes!"

Di Renjie said: "I think the carriage will come out soon. Zeng Tai, the three of you should hide immediately."

The three agreed to run towards the woods beside the road.

Wang Mang said, "My lord, what about us?"

Li Yuanfang also looked at Di Renjie.

Di Renjie ordered: "We rushed to Wuliu Town immediately and waited for them there."

Wang Mang and Li Yuanfang looked at each other, and they nodded.

……

Five carriages were parked in the empty field, and a black figure galloped towards him. It was Wu Yuanmin. She looked around and jumped onto the last carriage with wooden boxes.

At this moment, there were hurried footsteps in the distance, and the five drivers brought two large black wooden boxes, walked quickly to the carriage where Wu Yuanmin was hiding, put the boxes into the carriage, and locked the door.

Wu Yuanmin poked his head out from behind the wooden box, reached out to open the box lid, and looked inside.

She was stunned immediately, a pair of bright machetes were neatly stacked in the wooden box.

A flash of lightning lit up, and the scimitar shone with a dazzling cold light.

Wu Yuanmin gasped and trembled all over.

She jumped up and ran to the carriage door, stretched out her hand and pushed, and the door was locked.

She looked around anxiously, and suddenly, she heard a shout in front, and the carriage started.

Five carriages drove out of the village entrance one after another. In the woods, Zeng Tai and Ruyan watched the carriages disappear into the night.

……

In Shar Khan's residence, Mrs. Zhong was fast asleep on the bed.

Outside the window, there was thunder and heavy rain.

Suddenly, there was a thunderstorm outside the window, and Zhong screamed and sat up from the bed, looking around in horror.

Lightning illuminated the hall, and the surroundings were quiet.

Zhong let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead, got up and went to the front of the hall, and stretched out his hand to open the door.

It was raining heavily outside the door, and there was fog.

Zhong looked at the rain curtain and let out a long sigh.

Suddenly, a little sound penetrated into her ears, she listened carefully, it seemed to be human voices and knocking sounds.

Mrs. Zhong walked out of the gate, came to the porch, and listened attentively. The sound came from the back garden.

She turned around and ran back to the hall, put on her coat, held up her umbrella and rushed into the heavy rain.

In the torrential rain, a petite figure came galloping, it was Zhong Shi, her whole body was soaked by the rain.

In front was the back garden. Zhong put away her umbrella and quietly stuck it under the high wall.

There was a lot of voices in the back garden.

Holding her breath, Zhong ran to a willow tree on the slope, rolled up her sleeves, climbed up by the low wall of the garden, squatted among the branches, and looked into the back garden.

The back garden is brightly lit, and five carriages are placed in front of the back hall.

Under the supervision of a dozen men in black with steel knives, dozens of craftsmen walked between the back hall and the carriage with ladles in their hands, pouring the contents of the ladles onto the wall of the carriage.

Zhong wiped the rain off his face, took a deep breath, slowly slipped down from the tree, turned around and ran back.

It was raining at night and the sky was gloomy.

At the [-]th quarter, Wuliu Town was silent.

……

In front of the small restaurant, four horses were tied. Di Renjie, Wang Mang, Li Yuanfang, Zhang Huan, and Li Lang were sitting at the table eating breakfast.

Suddenly, Li Yuanfang punched the table hard.

Wang Mang raised his head and said, "Brother Yuanfang, why are you still thinking about the princess?"

Li Yuanfang sighed and said, "Oh, it's all my fault. It's really useless to let a little girl play tricks!"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "Okay, don't blame yourself, the princess will be fine, just leave it to Zeng Tai and Ruyan. Our task is to follow the carriage."

Li Yuanfang reluctantly nodded.

In the distance came the rolling sound of carriage wheels, and the sound was getting closer.

Di Renjie stood up and said, "Here we come!"

Before the words fell, five carriages flew past.

Di Renjie waved his hand and said, "Follow me!"

Several people rushed out the door, untied the reins, jumped on the horses, and followed.

"Here we come! Hot and spicy soup!"

The store clerk ran out with a soup bowl, and when he looked up, the store was already empty.

There are two copper coins on the table.

The shop clerk looked into the distance, shook his head in puzzlement and said, "What a weirdo..."

The carriage galloped along the official road, and Wang Mang and Di Renjie followed closely.

……

The abandoned Shangling Village was besieged and impenetrable.

Under the leadership of the team leader and the team leader, the internal guards and yamen servants of the brigade searched the whole village.

The team leader led a few arresters holding high torches and rushed into the cave. There was no one in the cave, and it was very clean.

Zeng Tai waited anxiously.

A police officer rushed over and ran to Zeng Tai and said, "Master Inspector, according to your instructions, the brothers have found four caves in the west and north of the village, but none of them are inhabited. What's in the caves?" nor."

Zeng Tai took a deep breath and nodded.

With the sound of footsteps, the other two squad leaders rushed forward, and one of them said, "My lord, I found three caves in the east and south of the village. They are covered with dust, and it is obvious that no one has lived there for a long time."

Zeng Tai looked at the head of the other team and said, "What about you?"

The team leader said: "The little one was ordered to search all the courtyards in the middle of the mountain, but found nothing."

Zeng Tai nodded and said: "It seems that the missing silversmith is not here..."

Before the words were finished, Ruyan walked quickly with a few inner guards.

Zeng Tai rushed forward and said, "How is it, Ruyan, have you found the princess?"

Ruyan shook her head: "Brothers have turned over every piece of rubble, and there is no shadow of the princess."
