Chapter 497 I'm Not Here

Chapter 497 committing crimes under the nose

"The authenticity still needs to be investigated. What the Wuliangjiao did this time should have been hasty, maybe we still have a chance to catch them." Song Wuya didn't give up directly like Bai Zhuo did.

Although he knew very well in his heart that even if he entered the cave, he might not be able to find any clues.But he still didn't want to give up like this.

If you are defeated by the enemy, you can only say that you are not as good as others.But if you defeat yourself before waiting for the enemy to make a move, it is really a shameful thing.

After Bai Zhuo heard Song Wuya's words, he immediately smiled: "I knew you wouldn't give up so easily."

These words confused Song Wuya, he didn't understand what Bai Zhuo meant when he said these words.No matter what Song Wuya heard, he felt that Bai Zhuo's words meant that what he said just now was just to tease him.

"How is it? Is the rope finished?" Song Wuya is most eager to know whether this tunnel can be entered now.

The yamen servant looked at the rope in his hand and shook his head: "My lord, there is still a long way to go!"

Hearing these words, Song Wuya pondered for a while and then said: "Pull out all the chickens, and follow me in after seeing the situation."

The rope was quickly pulled out of the tunnel by the officials, and soon the two hens that had been put in were dragged out of the tunnel.

After the official inspected it, he immediately reported loudly: "My lord, the chicken is still alive."

"Okay, prepare the torches and lanterns, and go in immediately!" Seeing the result, Song Wuya asked everyone to prepare without hesitation.

Before the sun had completely set, they finally entered the tunnel.The tunnel is very narrow and long, and only one person can pass through it.

Song Wuya had officials scouting the way ahead, and he followed behind.He was not in a hurry to get out of this tunnel, but instead looked carefully around the tunnel here.

"Brother Bai, the tunnel was dug in a hurry. It seems that the Wuliangjiao is in a hurry this time!" Song Wuya sneered, this was the first time he had seen such a situation.

After all, before this, the tunnels dug by Wuliangjiao were not like this at all.Not to mention the neatness of those tunnels, they are all extremely spacious, enough for a carriage to pass by.Even under the house, it is very spacious.

But this time is different, the traces of tools left on the wall are very messy, and not a straight line, some places are large, some places are small, it seems extremely hasty.

Bai Zhuo followed behind, and when he heard Song Wuya's words, he naturally noticed the walls of the cave.

"That's right! It looks like we're pressing forward every step of the way, making them mess up." Bai Zhuo was also very proud of seeing this situation.

However, although it seems that there is nothing wrong with saying this, but this time the Wuliangjiao still rushed ahead of them.Although it was a little disappointing, Song Wuya felt that if things went on like this, they would be getting closer and closer to the Boundless Sect.

The tunnel wasn't particularly long, and they soon found the end of the cave.

"It's sealed!" The officer in front stopped, turned his head and said to Song Wuya.

The other end of the tunnel was hastily closed, and the strong earthy smell made him feel a little disgusted.

"The people behind turn around and go back!" Song Wuya shouted when he saw the result.

He could feel that the air here was very turbid, and there was also a scorching smell.Now that we've come to an end, it's a waste of time to dig in this place.

The people behind turned and left, and footsteps sounded in the passage again.Song Wuya turned his head and said to the officer behind him, "Measure the distance!"

When they went out from the tunnel, everyone was already sweating profusely.At this moment, the sun finally sank, leaving only a blood-red sunset in the sky.

"My lord, the distance is not too far. From here to the east, there are [-] steps in total." The official who came out last had already measured the distance and said to Song Wuya.

Song Wuya nodded: "Okay! Find the other end of the tunnel immediately."

"This subordinate understands." The officer said and took a few people to the east, and it is estimated that he will be able to find the other end of the tunnel soon.

Song Wuya also went out, and the fire scene was left to be cleaned up by the servants of the Niu family.

Apart from a few charred bodies, there are no other clues here.

"How many people will stay and watch your warehouse?" Before leaving, Song Wuya suddenly thought of this question and asked the servants of the Niu family.

Those few people responded immediately: "There are nearly 20 people."

"20 people? Then only five corpses were found here!" Song Wuya doubted for a moment, then turned his head to look at the discovered corpses, and found that the difference in the number was too much.

"My lord, is there a problem?" The servants of the Niu family saw Song Wuya's expression changed, and immediately asked suspiciously.

Song Wuya shook his head: "No, you guys continue to clean up. After dark, you can go back, and continue to come here tomorrow until the place is completely cleaned up."

After Song Wuya explained to them, he left the fire scene.

Coming to the street, Song Wuya walked towards the east, and he could still see the figures of those officials in the distance.

Just as they were about to get close to those officials, they saw those officials suddenly slammed on one of the gates of the courtyard.

An official also ran over quickly, and reported to Song Wuya: "My lord, the place has been found."

There was obviously no one in the courtyard, so the officials broke open the courtyard door together and rushed in.

Entering the courtyard, one can see piles of loess piled up in the courtyard.The soil is still very fresh, it can be seen that it has just been played.

"My lord, I have found the closed hole!"

The officials had already found the entrance of the cave, and Song Wuya immediately ordered them to dig it up when he saw the traces that had been hastily buried by the soil.

This time, the officials couldn't understand.

"My lord, since the end of the tunnel has been found, it is meaningless to dig it or not!"

"This may not be the end point. Perhaps this blocked place may be just the middle of the tunnel. So we can only find out by digging it out. Other people will immediately look for it in this yard, and there may be other entrances to the tunnel. In addition, See if this yard is connected to other surrounding yards."

Such doubts are really justifiable.After all, that's all that most people can think of.

After those officials heard what Song Wuya said, they didn't dare to have any other hesitation, and immediately started digging.

Other officials searched the yard carefully.

Song Wuya and Bai Zhuo found a place to sit down, found a dead branch, and scraped off the wet mud they had just stepped on in the tunnel from their shoes.

"Brother Wu Ya, the county magistrate has slept for a long time. Now, we should find out who owns this yard." Bai Zhuo said to Song Wuya while cleaning the mud on his shoes.

Who owns the yard is really important.However, this clue may not be able to trace anything. They still don't know whether there is an eyeliner of Wuliangjiao in this small Nantou County. Maybe they can trace it from this point.

Although Wuliangjiao made a move in Nantou Town, but did not show his true body, Song Wuya was thinking in his heart, what method should be used to let Wuliangjiao show his feet, so as to find their traces.

"Okay, Brother Bai. Since there is still some light, let's find something in this yard." After cleaning all the mud from the shoes, Song Wuya got up and said to Bai Zhuo.

"Looking for something? What are you looking for?" Hearing these words, Bai Zhuo frowned, and looked around, very puzzled.

Song Wuya smiled slightly, pointed to the ground and said: "The thing we are looking for is not elsewhere, it is in this yard. And it is on the ground, first go to the door to have a look."

When the two came to the door, Song Wuya squatted directly on the ground and groped the ground with his hands.
