When the book-traveling little detective meets the two-faced prince

After Hong Mingxu's warning, no one dared to make a noise except Qiao Ying, who was ignorant and sat aside in fear.

Half an hour later, Cheng Su and Hong Mingxu walked out of the fire room.

The two men stood at the door of the fire room with serious expressions, and looked up into the sky at the same time. In the clear sky, they could see a white smoke rising slowly.

"Everyone pack up and leave immediately, hurry up!"

After Hong Mingxu gave the order, no one dared to delay and quickly stood up and walked out of the courtyard.

In order to travel light and not affect the walking speed, all heavy objects except the tools and dry food that could be used were left in this courtyard.

Cookware, coffins and dried bones found in the basement, gold, silver and jade ornaments in the bottom cabin, and the body of Wu Sanshan.

Came out of the courtyard.

Look in the direction of Xinyan, which is located among the dense forests to the east and northwest of the mountain.

If what I thought was correct, what the two soldiers just brought down was the signal smoke, and the place where the signal smoke rose was where the puppet cave was.

really……

Without the guidance of smoke signals, it would not be easy to find the location of the cave on the ground.

This is the most efficient way to do it.

Lin Lezhi looked at Cheng Su who was walking in front with steady steps.

It has to be said that Cheng Su acts decisively and thoughtfully, and never drags his feet. His soldiers are well-trained and have a deep understanding of justice. He is a brave and resourceful general.

We followed the team all the way to the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. The doors of all the houses in the village were opened because they had been searched one by one.

At first glance, all you see is a desolate scene.

One can't help but imagine what the scene was like when the people of Huaifeng Village lived here eleven years ago.

When they arrived at the entrance of the village, two soldiers who had been guarding the entrance saluted Cheng Su and Hong Mingxu after seeing them.

Cheng Su said in a deep voice: "Everything related to the case has been left in the yard. If we can't get back before dark, you two will stay in the yard to prevent the murderer from destroying the evidence."

"Yes, General!"

It is not an easy task to reach the Doll Cave from the dense forest on the ground.

After all, there were no signs along the way leading to the Doll Cave, and once you went deep into the dense forest, it was difficult to see the location of the signal smoke because of the forest that blocked out the sun.

You can only rely on your sense of direction and move forward in the general direction.

After a rest in the middle, they finally arrived at the Human Puppet Cave at dusk. Without waiting for Cheng Su's order, the soldiers began searching around the Human Puppet Cave.

Soon, someone found a rope from the nearby jungle, which was tied to the bottom of the tree roots.

"General, found it!"

After seeing the rope, Cheng Su said in a deep voice: "Pull the rope down."

"Yes!"

After lowering the rope, Cheng Su led only a small team of people into the cave, and Jiang Lian'an followed them. However, after searching for an incense stick of time, they did not find any useful clues either inside or outside the cave.

After Cheng Su ordered his men to close the wooden box in the puppet cave, everyone climbed up along the rope.

The last ray of light faded away and the sky darkened.

The dense forest, coupled with the lake island, produces a lot of moisture in the forest during the day. As the temperature gradually drops, mist gradually condenses at the bottom of the forest, floating among the grass like gauze.

The moment the fog rises.

In the silent courtyard where the coffin was placed, there was a squeaking sound as if something was being pulled and rubbed. At the wellhead surrounded by moss, the vines were trembling slightly.

The two soldiers guarding the entrance of the village looked at the fog in the deep forest and looked at each other.

"It's foggy. It looks like the general and his men won't be back. Let's go to the yard and guard it."

"it is good."

Outside the doll cave.

"General, it's foggy."

Looking at the fog that was constantly condensing in the deep forest, Hong Mingxu walked up to Cheng Su and asked what he meant.

Cheng Su looked at the dense forest around him, lowered his eyes and said, "The forest is intricate and it is even more difficult to tell the direction in the fog at night. Everyone should find a place to rest outside the cave entrance. If you need to take care of something urgent, you must go together and don't leave the camp too far, otherwise you will be responsible for anything that happens."

Although the wooden box in the puppet cave was covered, the stench of decay could still be smelled coming from the cave. Even people who had been down the cave had this smell on them to a greater or lesser extent.

In order to cover up the smell coming from the cave, a lid was woven with rattan and covered on the entrance of the cave, and the smell was reduced.

Since they couldn't walk around freely, everyone would lean against trees to rest after eating.

After a day of consuming too much physical energy and being mentally tense, everyone's face showed fatigue, but they didn't dare to fall asleep easily.

At Liu Yunhe's suggestion, Lin Lezhi and Xiao Yihuo sat together.

There is nothing wrong with having two masters by your side.

After sitting down, Lin Lezhi leaned against the tree and glanced around.

Since the dispute in the yard, Zhou Yuanliang has not spoken again. He did not hang out with others. He sat alone in one place, buried his head in his arms, and looked in a bad mood.

In addition to Zhou Yuanliang, Guo Yong's condition was also very bad. His eyes never stopped moving, and any slight noise around him made him very frightened.

Jiang Lian'an and Qiao Ying sat on the other side.

Qiao Ying had been running all day today, and her eyelids started to droop while she was eating. After dinner, she closed her eyes and fell asleep leaning against a tree.

Only Qiao Ying slept the most soundly.

After a while, Chang Feizhang's eyes showed anxiety. He sat up straight, holding his stomach. The soldiers around him closed their eyes and rested.

Chang Feizhang wanted to reach out his hand to take a picture, but he retracted his hand halfway.

He looked around at the deep forest, his eyes filled with fear, and after his Adam's apple rolled up and down, he lay back down in his original position.

But not long after, he stood up again like a somersault. He climbed too fast and the injury on his leg was affected. He showed an extremely painful expression, but was afraid that his actions would wake others, especially Cheng Su and Hong Mingxu who were not far from him.

He quickly covered his mouth, his eyes swept among everyone, and finally fell on Jiang Lian'an, who had not closed his eyes to rest yet.

After thinking it over again and again, Chang Feizhang limped to Jiang Lian'an, holding his stomach and asking in a low voice with an embarrassed look on his face: "Can you trouble Jiang Guitan to accompany... me to take care of the urgent matter?"

Jiang Lian'an glanced at the sleeping Qiao Ying, confirmed that Qiao Ying would not wake up, and readily agreed.

The two men headed into the woods with torches.

Finally they arrived at the place. Jiang Lian'an was guarding on the side. Chang Feizhang took a torch and went in to relieve himself. Chang Feizhang found a place to put the torch. Just as he was about to relieve himself, the fog in front of him was condensed and although he could not see clearly, he could vaguely see a few balls of faint blue-green flames floating up and down in the air.

“Ghost…Ghost…”
