Everyone trusted Bai Yue and Jian Yu. When they heard him talk about digging, they started digging immediately without saying a word. The most nervous person was the man in black, who really held his breath and watched intently, as if the next moment
It will be blown to pieces.
But no one paid attention to him. Even Bai Chuan, who was looking at him, was focused on the dug area.
The ground was not soft, and it must have been buried for many years, but Liang Meng was very strong and pulled out the sweet-scented osmanthus tree with all his strength.
A pit immediately appeared on the ground, Bai Yue said: "Don't move so big, just dig down along the pit and dig little by little. The list should be inside."
Liang Meng responded, and in the midst of everyone's attention, he quickly said in surprise: "Yes, yes, young master and lady, yes."
Liang Meng knelt down and carefully reached in. After a while, he took out a dusty box.
Liang Meng handed the box to Jian Yu, unable to conceal his excitement.
Jian Yu took the box, patted the soil on it, and then opened the box.
I don't know why, but he glanced at the man in black.
Of course, the man in black can't escape. If he had that ability, he wouldn't be caught.
Bai Yue noticed the change in Jian Yu's gaze and looked over, but his expression immediately changed at this glance.
The man in black was looking at something wrong. His eyes were fixed on the box in Jian Yu's hand, as if he could clearly see what was inside through the box.
Bai Yue suddenly took a step forward to block the man in black's view of the box, and at the same time shouted: "Uncle, knock him unconscious."
Bai Chuan's movements were not unpleasant. When Bai Yue said these two words, he had already reacted and took action, but it was still a step too late.
At the same time, a series of short and sharp screams came out from the man in black. The scream was very harsh, like a bird call or something else. After the sound came out, he fainted in Bai Chuan's hands.
No one could react for a moment, only Jian Yu's face darkened like Bai Yue's.
"He is delivering news." Jian Yu said.
Liang Meng was shocked: "Who are you passing the news to? I'm going to take a look in the forest."
"It's too late. That person will leave immediately after getting the news. He won't be able to catch up."
The key point is that the woods extend in all directions from front to back, left and right, and that person must be very far away from the ground, so even Baichuan can't hear the sound. That means he doesn't even know where to pursue him, and has no way to start.
Jian Yu said: "I don't know what secret code he used, but he was still so calm when he fell into our hands. Apparently he just couldn't find the list. When we find it, we will be waiting for him to catch the cicada and the oriole behind him."
The depressing thing is that judging from what the man in black did, he did get what he wanted. No wonder he was so calm when he was arrested.
Liang Meng was puzzled: "But we didn't even open the box, and he knew what was inside? Did he know what was written on the list?"
Jian Yu slowly opened the box, and sure enough there was a small note inside.
Opening the note, three names were written on it.
Bai Yue said: "Although I don't understand it either, it's obvious that he immediately knew the contents when he saw the box. There may be some meaning on the box, such as round, square, red, and black, each one is different."
Now I can only understand it this way.
Three names were written on the note.
Chen Zhimeng, Xia Jie, Xie Jiang.
The three ordinary names don't tell much.
Bai Yue said: "They must know more about this list than we do. Maybe these people were divided into groups back then, and each group was placed in a different box. However, this is all speculation. We can only put them in
Wake up and ask."
Bai Chuan nodded, raised his leg and kicked the man in black.
The man in black slowly woke up from his coma. He was a little confused when he first woke up, but he slowly came back to his senses.
"Who are you sending a message to?" Jian Yu put the box into Bai Yue's hand and walked over.
Liang Meng has been with Jian Yu for more than ten years and has a very clear understanding of his young master's character. He was born in a wealthy family and has had a smooth journey. The biggest setback he has ever suffered in his life is probably the last time he had an quarrel with Bai Yue, and this time he was manipulated by the man in black.
It's a shame and a shame.
But something even more shameful happened. Just when Jian Yu walked over, the man in black gave a strange and short smile.
Now even Bai Chuan noticed something was wrong and immediately reached out to pinch the man in black's chin.
But things happened in the blink of an eye. The man in black smiled and never took it back. He kept smiling like this, with a trace of blood seeping from the corner of his mouth, his eyes widened, and he remained motionless.
The man in black is dead.
Jian Yu's face darkened and he looked at Liang Meng.
Liang Meng was stunned and immediately said: "How could it be possible? I, I checked it carefully."
After catching the killer, check whether there is poison in the mouth to prevent them from committing suicide in fear of crime. This is the most basic procedure and does not require Jian Yu to ask. So now he is feeling very depressed. He has obviously checked it, why?
Is he still dead?
Bai Chuan pinched the man in black's mouth and looked at it, then said: "Well, I don't blame you."
Liang Meng couldn't accept it. He walked over in a few steps and saw that the man in black had blood in his mouth. The blood didn't come from his throat, but it seemed like he had bitten something.
"Generally speaking, killers hide poison in their teeth and bite it out to commit suicide when encountering situations." Bai Chuan said: "But he is different. His poison is hidden in his tongue, so it cannot be found during inspection.
.”
Liang Meng looked confused and couldn't figure out how to hide it in his tongue.
Bai Chuan said calmly: "There are always some ways you can't think of."
No matter what, the person is dead. No matter how depressed Liang Meng and Jian Yu are, they can't bring the person back to life. The most important thing now is to find the three people on the list.
It was Bai Yue who was the first to get out of his depression: "Don't think about it, hurry up and find these three people. The capital is so big, and there are only so many people with the same name and surname. Maybe we can get ahead of each other. After all, after so many years, I miss them
It also takes some trouble to find someone.”
I don’t know if these three names are their current real names, but these are the only clues they have now, and they have no choice.
There was a lot of drama last night, and the genius was just beginning to dawn, but no one was in the mood to rest now, so they asked the singer, cook, etc. to take their time and leave slowly at dawn. Jian Yu took Bai Yue and Liang Meng to return to the city first.
Although Bai Chuan still liked this place, he felt that as such a powerful senior, he failed to complete the task assigned to him in this matter. The man in black eventually died in front of him, so he felt a little embarrassed.
So I followed along to see what we could do to make up for the mistake.
After returning to the capital, the group went straight to the Ministry of Household Affairs.
