"I don't believe that they can leave without a trace!"

Bai Jiran threw the military cap on the ground and crawled in to find it. Even if he had to pick at a rock to bleed his finger, he didn't care at all.

He examined every floor and every corner like a madman.

Soon, a well in the backyard caught his attention.

Before he got close, he prayed that this was a dry well and that the cold spring would not drown.

This was the last place to hide a human or a corpse.

Xiang Ziqin had also discovered the well, and quickly ran over with a large stone in his hand.

"She won't be down there, will she?"

This was the first time Bai Ran had asked for help. His entire body was like a collapsed mountain, his face full of dust and there was no sign of life.

"Of course, listen to me, don't be in too much of a hurry. We have to think in the best way right now. "

After saying this to Ziqi, he took a step forward and saw that there was water in the well.

His heart instantly turned cold.

He turned his head to look at Bai Jiran, who had already broken down. He didn't know how to say it, so he found someone to draw water from the well.

He threw the stone into the water and heard a muffled thud.

He heard the water in the well, then heard the muffled sound, and came running back to the well and looked down.

"My voice is wrong, this water must be fake."

With a roar, Lieutenant Li Jun also came over and threw a few large rocks down to the ground.

"I'm leaving!"

Without a word, Bai Jiran took off his army coat and raised his foot to enter the well.

"Young Marshal!"

"The aide-de-camp behind him saw this and became anxious. He reached out and grabbed his arm." It's dangerous down there, so you should call a brother over. You don't have to go down there yourself. "

"Right, of course, your identity is special, so you must not take the risk."

Ye Zichen reached out his hand to block the man's path, then grabbed a rope from the side to wrap around his waist. " If you don't trust anyone else, I'll go. "

"You have to stop me. I have to go down personally today to be at ease."

Bai Jiran pushed aside the people who were rushing to enter the well and coldly swept his eyes over the crowd as he spoke in a low and dignified voice.

"But …"

At this time, perhaps only Xiang Zi dared to speak again.

"I will ensure that there are no mistakes. All of you, wait for the news."

As Bai Jiran spoke, she pulled off the rope hanging on the man's body and tied it around her body a few times. Then, she lifted her feet and walked into the well.

The visibility at the bottom of the well was not high. It was only because they had put on the lights that they were able to see everything around them.

Bai Jiran went straight down to the bottom and soaked her whole body in the water.

As expected, the water in the well was only half as high as his body. With a light stomp, he could hear that it was empty below.

He pulled at the rope and signaled for the men above to pull him up. The first thing he did when he came out of the well was to send someone down to dig the bottom.

The facts proved that his premonition was absolutely correct. The well was empty, and someone had dug a tunnel out of it.

After the call connected, Bai Jiran led his men down to search for it himself. The exit was in the grass next to the back door of the Handsome Manor.

"It seems like this matter is related to your marshal's residence. Such a long tunnel is not something that can be completed in a day and a night. This exit is not something that just anyone would dare to open."

Wen Ziqin came out of the hole, patting his dusty suit from top to bottom, then glanced at Bai Jiran.

"But even if they knew who did it, they wouldn't be able to ask. If she bites you to death and refuses to admit it, what can you do about it? "

Xiao Bai obviously knew who the culprit was. It could be that the Cold Spring Spirit had gone overboard these past few days. Even if she knew the danger, she had already made her move.

In fact, Leng Quan Ling treated her like this because she was venting her anger for her mother, but it was just a pretense that she wanted to help Xiao Bai.

He really didn't think too much about it. He felt that it would be good to let Leng Quan Ling cause a ruckus. If he could really force Meng Yujun to reveal her true colors, it would be a good thing.

He just didn't expect that the young man would dare to do such a thing after living to this extent.

"If we find out who did it, it would actually be easier to say. Perhaps none of us know her, but she …"

The man in white frowned, then turned around to instruct some people to do what he needed to do.

The Cold Spring Spirit was tied up in a dark and humid basement. He never thought that besides the water prison, the Handsome Manor had such a sinister and frightening place.

These were all stone bricks, and the door was tightly shut with pure iron. This was a completely sealed off space.

The floor was covered in thick straw. In the middle of the room, there was a thick white candle that was slowly burning, emitting a dim light.

Leng Quan Ling's hands and feet were tied up. She could only lie on the ground and watch the candle burn. She even thought, "A ray of light is really good."

However, as the candle burned, it became shorter and shorter, and the flames that did not cut the heart of the candle grew higher and higher …

The cold spring spirit lying there finally discovered the problem.

They were trying to burn her. The candles would burn down and light the hay beside them, and the house would be completely sealed off and the fire would not burn out.

In other words, she would be burned to ashes along with the hay, and no one would know.

What a brilliant method.

She was awake when they carried her in, so she knew she was being carried back to the marshal's house, and she was absolutely certain who had done it.

This candle would not burn for more than a few hours. If the people outside were able to discover the ring that she had specially dropped, then she could still be saved. Otherwise, she could only be burned to death.

She didn't expect for the others in the Handsome Manor to find her ring. She wanted to see if Bai Tong would be able to find the one with the red gemstone. He had personally helped her put it on.

Recalling the events of the past year, Leng Quan's spirit was filled with emotion.

When she first stepped into the marshal's residence, she had never thought that there would be a day where she and Bai Jiran would become real husband and wife.

She took the task of investigating her mother's whereabouts and entered the Handsome Manor. She thought that if she climbed higher, she would be able to investigate more thoroughly. She didn't expect things to turn out like this …

The more he investigated, the more complicated this matter became. There were many things that seemed logical but had many suspicious points.

The whole thing felt like Bai Ran and Meng Yujun were purposely interfering. Liu Ma's death and Little Xia's disappearance made her fall back into darkness as soon as she saw the first glimmer of light.

If she could survive, she would definitely get a true answer.

Cold Spring had been staring at the candles over there. More than half of them had already been burned, but there was still no movement from outside.

While the Fountain of Cold Water was calculating the time, a mouse suddenly emerged from the corner and knocked over a burning candle while it was running crazily.

The flame quickly lit up the surrounding dry grass. In an instant, the light from the fire shot out in all directions.

Never would he have thought that he was actually killed by a mouse!

The cold spring spirit had no ability to resist. She could only lie there blankly, watching the flames grow higher and higher …
