Just when Shui Mozi thought of this, he saw his benefactor looking out of the hall with a solemn face. Just as he was doubting himself, he heard the big man laughing loudly: "Huh, you have a way to gain wealth and honor in danger, how can you do this kind of business?"
Maybe there is no risk at all. Come on, tell me your conditions!"
The water rat is a little confused, his benefactor is ill? Where did this song come from?
When he saw the big man winking at him, his color suddenly changed and his tail followed him.
Water Mouse first looked for the cause within himself. When he came, he was extremely careful. This area was already in ruins.
Not only on rainy days, but also on sunny days, there are few people visiting. Moreover, the terrain here is extremely complex, and the surrounding water and land channels are as dense as a spider web. If you are not a local who has lived here for a long time, you may not be able to figure out where these water and land channels are connected.<
/p>
"My benefactor, leave this place with me quickly!" Water Mouse whispered, I'm afraid it will be too late if we delay it any longer.
"Lead the way!" As the big man stood up with his clothes on, he already held a short knife in his hand.
The reason why Water Mouse is called Water Mouse is that, in addition to his amphibious theft skills, there is no hidden door, culvert, or wall passage in Jiangling City that he does not know.
Wang Huan was watching on the wall, and suddenly she heard the big man inside talking loudly, and she felt more and more uneasy. Her intuition told him that there must be something wrong inside.
With this thought in mind, he turned over and jumped into the courtyard. If it weren't for the water splashing slightly in the courtyard, there would be no sound.
Through the gaps in the doors and windows, you could vaguely see the figures of people inside shaking, and suddenly they all disappeared. At the same time, there was a clicking sound, as if something was falling apart.
No! Wang Huan's heart suddenly tightened, and she shouted behind her: "The thieves want to escape, break down the door!"
The detectives who were ambushing outside had been waiting for this call for a long time. Two detectives slammed their thick shoulders against the door.
The already rotten door hinge could not withstand such a huge impact and suddenly collapsed inward. The bodies of the two government officials also flew in. However, the two of them had a tacit understanding and rolled forward almost as they landed, and then quickly stood up.
Get up.
Then several people jumped into the gap in the courtyard wall.
Wang Huan shouted into the hall: "People inside, listen, I have completely surrounded this place. If you want to survive, come out with your head in your hands!"
The detectives all held powerful crossbows in their hands, and their gleaming crossbow arrows were pointed at the doors and windows of the hall.
"Bang!"
A window at the west end suddenly broke, and after the window lattice flew in all directions, something flew out.
"Whoosh!" A crossbow arrow was shot towards the object and hit the target.
"Stay alive!"
It landed with a clang, but the worrying thing didn't happen. When Wang Huan saw it, it turned out to be a stool, and it fell apart after landing.
Fooled!
Wang Huan said: "There are only two of them, we must stay alive!"
Maybe these two people are the breakthrough to solve the murder case on Jiang Shang. They worked hard for most of the night. If they finally got two corpses that could not speak, then this operation would lose its due significance.
As for why the second person appeared, she had no time to think about it.
Under the leadership of Wang Huan, the detectives moved slowly towards the hall. They worked in pairs, alternately covering each other and slowly moving forward. Looking at this posture alone, it didn’t look like the police officers of a government office, but more like
He is like a veteran who has been on the battlefield for a long time.
The order to keep them alive limited the speed of their advance, but this matter could not be rushed. The people in the hall had become turtles in the jar, and it was only a matter of time before they were captured.
The hall fell into silence. At this time, Wang Huan and others had controlled all the doors and windows, and even two people climbed up on both ends of the roof. At this moment, they were walking on the ridge to join in the middle.
Two policemen rushed into the hall, protecting Wang Huan from the left and the right. The bonfire inside continued to burn, illuminating the figures, swaying gracefully, flickering in and out of light.
Wang Huan looked around, but there was no one in the hall. This was not the result she wanted. Thinking of this, with a slight anger on her face, flames dancing in her eyes, she shouted in a low voice: "Search!"
The first thing Wang Huan saw was the pen and ink inkstone next to the campfire. The ink had just melted and the hair was new. So the question is, what did they write?
There was no screen partition in the hall, and there were not many places to hide people. Even the chest of drawers that the big man was leaning on just now amounted to about ten pieces of furniture. Wang Huan led the people around the hall twice, but did not find anything.
Strange.
This place is not as complicated as imagined, but where can two living people hide? Could it be that they know some magic and can go to heaven and earth?
Heaven, there are people guarding the roof, it’s impossible.
Into the ground?
Wang Huan's eyes seemed to carry a shovel, and she seemed to have turned over every inch of the floor in the hall.
Suddenly, his eyes stopped on a small black square table. Next to the small table were two lines of footprints. Tracing their origin, they were walking from the campfire. I had not noticed this place before, mainly because it was extremely light.
Because of the darkness.
She walked up to the small square table and gently moved the small square table away. A policeman had already picked up the hottest wooden stick from the bonfire and held it over.
Wang Huan knelt down and knocked on the ground a few times.
"Tuk tuk..."
It’s empty!
Almost at the same time as she made her judgment, her pupils shrank instantly.
She rubbed her hand on the ground and soon found a gap. She inserted the tip of the knife and pried it gently, and a wooden lid the size of a pot lid was opened, revealing a channel of clear water below.
There is actually a ditch below!
After all, I was careless. The house here is not the kind of wooden building along the river that is half leaning on the bank and half on the water. Therefore, I did not consider that there is a ditch hidden underground.
The original owner of the house must have deliberately left it there to store some hard-to-preserve fruits and the like in the summer.
Wang Huan instantly felt the urge to curse. She held the crossbow in her hand and ordered someone to bring the rope.
Although she is a woman, whenever she takes action, she usually rushes in front of those bearded men. Over time, they all get used to it.
Although she was extremely angry, Wang Huan's mind was still extremely calm. The fact that these two people escaped further proves that there is something wrong with them.
She didn't know where the ditch here led, and the policemen and soldiers guarding the outside were not very useful. They seemed to have no choice but to follow a path into the water.
With this in mind, Wang Huan handed over the long bow she was carrying to a policeman, pulled out a small hand crossbow, loaded the crossbow with arrows, attached the teeth, and slipped down along the rope.
Although there were torches used by the police to illuminate it, the effect was very limited. Except for the small area under the feet, which could barely be seen clearly, the surroundings were still pitch black.
The sound of water gurgled and a deep chill came over me. Just when my toes were about to touch the water, I suddenly felt a murderous aura.
