Su Nu looked at him: "I told you not to talk too much before I came here."

Su Qi shut his mouth tightly. But after a while he asked again: "Then when will you come back?"

Su Nu looked out the window: "If it's early, it will be an hour, if it's late, it won't necessarily be. You don't have to look for me, just stay here."

"Then what should you do if you are in danger?"

Su Nu looked at him, raised his lips and said, "Are you still worried that I am in danger?"

A look of shame appeared on Su Qi's tense face.

Su Nu said: "There will be no danger. Just stay in the house and wait for me."

What else could Su Qi say?

After having dinner together, Su Nu sent him back to his room, and then asked Aunt Wu to call Hu Kui. Hu Kui was a short-lived man in his early thirties, with a beard and a naive manner. When he saw Mr. Su Nu

He lowered his head. When I asked him why, he said that because Su Nu looked so similar to Mrs. Xie, it often made him want to cry.

His daughter-in-law Cai Ling also came, holding a pair of her clean clothes and presenting them to Su Nu awkwardly: "How can I wear these rough clothes for a girl?"

But Su Nu didn't mind. After entering the room, she changed and walked out, looking like a pretty village girl. She said: "I pretended to be a Fu picker and went to inspect the fields with Hu Kui. Fusang followed me."

Hu Kui said: "Young man, why don't you call Wu Sheng again? We can avoid any surprises."

Su Nu thought for a while, nodded and said: "Ask him to wait for me near the culvert first. By the way, Aunt Wu will guard the corner gate and wait for me to come back. Uncle Wu, don't you often drink with the long-term workers of the village chief's family? You

I'll go find him later and talk to him to see if anything in the village in recent years has anything to do with the government."

Everyone nodded in agreement and moved separately without mentioning it.

Su Nu followed Hu Kui and walked out the door along the dim corridor.

Fusang invited Su Qi to Su Nu's room after a while, and then followed him out.

…

The March spring night in the village was still chilly to the bones. Han Mo, who was lying behind the field ridge, folded his collar and looked at the dark culvert under the starry sky two feet away.

Above the culvert is the embankment of the Nanjiao River, and the other side of the embankment is naturally the Nanjiao River. He held the Ministry of Industry file in his hand and read it at least five or six times. He really didn't see anything wrong, but why was Su Nu there?

After instructing Qin Ye to steal the files, he came here again?

He had a hunch that Su Nu paid more attention to the flood than she did to the tenants.

"somebody is coming."

Yang You's reminder came to my ears.

He looked towards the place where the sound came from, and saw a man walking under the starlight from the village in the dark night. After standing on the embankment and looking around, he sat down on the ground in a low place.

After a while, three more people arrived at the entrance of the village. The former had long legs and a narrow body, while the latter two had strong figures. At first glance, they looked like guards.

"It's Mr. Qin," Yang You said.

Han Mo said nothing, only narrowed his eyes.

There was wind by the river, but fortunately it was not too strong, and it was not too cold. Qin Ye was well prepared and could bear it. He looked around first and saw no one coming. He guessed that Su Nu had not arrived yet.

He then asked his subordinates to find a piece of grass and lurk there first. Unexpectedly, the subordinates suddenly pointed to a depression nearby, drew their swords and shouted: "Who is that!"

Someone in the field stood up with his hands raised: "I am Wu Sheng, Lord Qin?"

When Su Nuo lived in Zhuangzi earlier, Qin Ye had met almost everyone around her in order to contact her, especially Wu Sheng, who had sent several letters for him. Now he stepped forward and recognized her after careful inspection.

Sure enough, it was him, so he asked about Su Nu: "You girls haven't come yet?"

"Already here, sir, wait a moment!"

Han Mo on the other side of the field looked puzzled. That girl asked Qin Ye to meet him in the culvert, and she even brought so many people with her! Was she going to put on a show?

Just as I was thinking about it, there were footsteps coming from the other side. Three people came, two were obviously women based on their gait, and one was a man. But all three of them were wearing coarse clothes. However, no matter how they changed their clothes,

, Han Mo still recognized Su Nu walking in the front through the faint starlight - it was really not easy for others to get rid of her blaming demeanor.

"They're going down!"

Yang You pointed to the channel under the field ridge.

Han Mo held down his body as he was about to jump down, listened quietly for a moment, and then he flew down like a ghost.

It was impossible to see any fingers in the cave. Su Nu asked Wu Sheng to watch the wind from above, and then asked Hu Kui to polish the fire seal. Soon the situation in the cave was revealed. There was only the bottom of the cave that had not been exposed to water for many days, and even the uppers of the shoes could not be soaked.

Wet water stains, the four walls made of granite are intact except for the water stains left over the years. The two heavy stone doors are open, and the simple mechanism that controls the stone doors is intact except for a little rust.

.

Hu Kui pointed to the buckle on the machine bracket: "As long as you pull off this piece of iron, the machine bracket can move."

Naturally, Su Nuo had already seen the doorway, and stretched out his hand to follow the instructions. He only heard a clicking sound, and the stone door started to rotate. The sound at this time also aroused several dogs barking not far away. Su Nuo stopped.

, said: "The sound of the machine is so loud that it can only be covered up by the sound of people working nearby during the day. But it is too difficult to operate during the day. It is completely possible if you rely on rainy weather to operate. But I remember clearly that it did not rain during the day.

Yes, it only rained at night. Could it be that he came here after it rained at night?"

Qin Ye said: "As for the wind and rain, if you know some astronomy and geography, it is not difficult to judge the possibility of flooding. Your guess is reasonable. Someone knew that there was going to be a heavy rain that day and opened the stone gate in advance - even upstream.

The bursting of the embankment does not necessarily have nothing to do with the murderer."

"If that's the case, then other things should be considered together." Su Nu looked at Ji Kuo intently, "That night, the weather was obviously wrong, so why were there people fishing by the river at night? But this news spread to Su

Pray for your ears and induce him to walk out?"

Qin Ye said in astonishment: "Do you suspect that Brother Qi's going out is also a trap?"

Su Nu looked at him: "If the person who opened this stone door is unusual, then why not think about it like this?

"It's not a secret that Su Qi is naughty by nature. Not only the Su family knows that he has lived in Zhuangzi for nearly three years, but also everyone in the village knows it. Taking advantage of his playful weakness, he was lured out, and then met

If a heavy rain prevents him from coming back, wouldn't it be logical that my mother would rush out to look for him?"

Qin Ye was stunned for a moment.

Su Nu stood up: "In this family, my mother only has me and Su Qi. No matter whether Su Qi or I are in danger, she will definitely run out - if I guessed correctly, this person will definitely treat us badly."

familiar!"

"However, there are too many people who are familiar with your family's situation. Your father left after getting married and spent very little time at home over the years. The outside world has long speculated, and there are many people who have inquired about the inside story and know about your mother's situation."

"That's right." Su Nu nodded, "It's still difficult to pinpoint the murderer, but at least we have a more reasonable guess. My mother's death was probably a premeditated plan, and Su Qi was the trigger!
