The fourth son suddenly stared at the dark alley. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both asked him, "What did you see?"

The young man pointed to the alley and said, "The kneeling woman in red."

As soon as Tuanzi's words came out, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang were stunned... They had just heard about the Oiran case back then. This had not happened for more than ten years. Could it happen again now?

Zhan Zhao quickly crossed the road and ran into the alley. The fifth master also picked up the little fourth son and followed him.

But when I entered the alley, I didn't see any kneeling woman in red.

This is a dead end. There is only a small locked door on the right hand side at the bottom of the alley. It is probably the back door of someone's house.

Zhan Zhao ran back and forth in the alley twice, but saw no one. He only looked at Bai Yutang, who was standing by and holding his little fourth son.

The Fifth Master was also quite puzzled, and the dumplings were not allowed to pass.

The two of them were trying to make amends for Tuanzi. Could it be that what Tuanzi saw was a scene from the past. This place used to be one of the places where the bodies of the Oiran were dumped? After all, nine of them died...the places where the bodies were dumped were all different.

But then I thought about it, and something was wrong - the places where the bodies of the Oiran were dumped were in the middle of crowded roads, and this dead end was probably not usually visited by anyone.

The fourth son crossed his arms with his little hands and leaned on the fifth master's shoulder, thinking back... He turned his face just now and indeed saw a woman kneeling in the alley, and...

"That sister seems to be alive." The fourth child said to himself, while occasionally glancing at the small door in the corner.

Both Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao still believe in Xiaosizi. The dumplings have always been accurate. This place may have something to do with the Oiran case back then.

"If he is alive..." Zhan Zhao asked Bai Yutang in a low voice, "Could it be before he was killed?"

The fifth master thought for a while, then looked at the fourth son, and saw that the fourth son was still staring at the lock on the door.

Bai Yutang asked Zhan Zhao, "Who is this family?"

Zhan Zhao didn't know clearly, so he said, "How about we go around to the front and take a look?"

Bai Yutang nodded.

The three of them walked out of the alley and walked along the street, wanting to go around and take a look... But the strange thing was that the house did not have a front door.

Follow the courtyard wall, and when you come out of the courtyard wall, there is an alley in front of you. Next to the alley is the backyard of other people's houses. Go forward along the alley, and you will see the river after exiting the alley.

Zhan Zhao was confused, but Bai Yutang was not confused. He held the dumplings and pulled Zhan Zhao back the same way...

After going back and forth several times, the three of them realized that this small door huddled in the corner was the only door to the house.

As for this house, there are courtyard walls on all four sides. One side of the courtyard wall is close to the river, and both sides are hidden in the alley. Only one side faces the street, "hiding" in the bustling market.

Moreover, there are many stalls outside this street during the day, most of which sell small things such as pancakes, candies, and cakes. It is very lively and there are many pedestrians, which will block this alley. Zhan Zhao sometimes passes by here while patrolling the street, but

Never noticed this alley.

Finally, the three of them circled back to the small door.

The door is locked from the outside, meaning no one is inside.

Zhan Zhao winked at Bai Yutang - looking at this structure, it felt like it was not a good place!

Bai Yutang thought it was simple. There was no one around anyway, so he went in and took a look!

Zhan Zhao agreed, and the two went directly to the courtyard wall.

Crouching on the wall of the courtyard and looking in, I saw that the house was not big and had a simple structure. There was a courtyard in the middle and three cabins on three sides. There was a stone table in the middle of the courtyard and nothing else, not even a flower pot. The house was empty.

, the windows were broken and it was pitch black.

Zhan Zhao whispered to Bai Yutang, "It seems to have been abandoned for a long time."

Fifth Master nodded.

Since it's an abandoned house with no one around, let's just go in and take a look.

The two of them didn't waste any time and jumped directly from the wall into the yard.

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang observed the three houses.

The fourth son was lying on the fifth master's shoulder, but he was looking in the direction behind the two of them, which was the courtyard wall...

Bai Yutang felt his fourth son tapping him on the shoulder, which made him very excited.

Fifth Master looks at the dumplings.

The fourth boy pointed behind them, "Oiran! Oiran!"

Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang turned around at the same time... and were both stunned.

On the wall of the courtyard behind you, there is a whole wall of reliefs, with nine women carved side by side...

These nine young women are all slim and beautiful, dressed in luxurious clothes, and their movements are lifelike. And next to each woman, their names are also engraved. Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang saw a few familiar ones at a glance - Wan

Er, Yi Bian, Yun Baoer...

Under the moonlight, even the details of the relief are clearly visible.

The nine women are obviously very beautiful, but looking at Zhan Zhao, Bai Yutang feels chills all over... Not only because these nine are the victims of the Oiran case, but more importantly, on the chests of these reliefs, there are messy

There are knife marks and chiseling marks, some in more than ten places and some in dozens.

The fourth child touched his chin and kept moving forward.

Bai Yutang simply hugged him and ran to the wall to let him see.

The fourth child counted the numbers and asked, "Is this the stab wound on the corpse?"

Zhan Zhao felt strange, "Is it possible that the more than ten stabs in each person were not just random, but were stabbed according to a pattern?"

"Is it possible that the carvings were based on the knife wounds on the corpse?" Bai Yutang thinks there are two possibilities.

But no matter which way it is, the person who made these carvings knows very well where the stab wounds are on the body, so it can only be the murderer...or the autopsy?

Of course, it might just be random chiseling, which is not necessarily the same as the stab wounds on the corpse...

The fourth son said, "It would be great if we knew where those corpses are. Daddy could dig them out and examine them to see if they are the same!"

"What if they are the same?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both turned back subconsciously and looked at the empty house behind them.

The fourth son crossed his arms and nodded, "Then this house either belongs to the murderer, or it was built by the widower at that time."

"Isn't it impossible to do it by hand?" Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both shook their heads - Gongsun was so serious about himself, he wouldn't have carved a whole wall of people just to mark the location of the stab wound, right? How good would it be to draw on a whole piece of paper?

Although there is no evidence, there is a high possibility that this place is the murderer's home. In other words...

"Could this be the scene of the murder?" Zhan Zhao thought more and more that it was possible.

"But..." Bai Yutang had a question when he heard the whole story of the Oiran case, "The corpse dumping points are far apart. Even if there are few people in Kaifeng Mansion at night, there are still soldiers and horses patrolling the city on watch.

Walking at night...could the murderer carry the body so far without meeting anyone? How did he do it?"

"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao also felt that it was very difficult to dispose of the corpse, so he decided to go to the house and take a closer look.

But when they opened the door, the three of them were disappointed. There was nothing inside the broken rooms, and a thick layer of dust fell on the ground.

It's hard to see clearly in the dark at night.

"Cat Cat."

When he walked to the middle door, Xiao Sizi pointed to the ground and said, "Is there a mark on the ground?"

Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao also noticed that there was a square mark on the ground in the middle of the room. It looked like the square tiles on the ground were not very smooth.

After staring for a while, Bai Yutang felt something was wrong.

"I'm not dazzled, am I?" Fifth Master asked Zhan Zhao and Xiao Sizi for their opinions.

Xiao Sizi and Zhan Zhao both nodded - at the edge of the square brick, something like flying catkins was shaking gently.

But there was no wind outside the house at this time, and the flying catkins were moving upward, indicating that the wind was blowing from below.

Bai Yutang handed the fourth child to Zhan Zhao, raised his hand, and lifted it up...

With the fifth master's internal strength, he heard a "whoop" sound, and the raised square brick was lifted up in one piece.

Look again, the ground below is not flat, but a dark pit.

The two walked to the edge of the pit and looked down, okay - the darkroom is late but it's here!

Zhan Zhao nodded and whispered to Fifth Master, "The person living here must be a bad person!"

The fourth son also agreed - only bad people have darkrooms in their homes!

Looking at the stairs leading to the bottom of the dark pit, Zhan Zhao and Bai Yutang both felt a little off-putting - they felt

"Should we call everyone here?" Bai Yutang asked, "Light the lamps and then look for us?"

Zhan Zhao thought it was time to look carefully, so he ran out and threw the noise arrow.

As soon as he turned around, Zhan Zhao's feet suddenly stopped, and Bai Yutang also raised his head at the same time.

Both of them heard a strange sound of wind on the roof... It must be that a master passed by.

Zhan Zhao stuffed the little boy into Bai Yutang's hand, ducked out of the yard, and flew onto the roof.

There was nothing around. There should have been a person running past here just now, and this person was very good at qinggong. But there were alleys all around, making it easy to hide... Zhan Zhao frowned, and took out the rattling arrow first.

Throw it to the sky.

A big white cat's face appeared in the sky.
