When Meng Xiaodie heard the shout, she hurriedly ran out. She saw Jiang Bufan standing by the pool using a tree branch to fish for something.
When he reached the edge of the pond, he saw that it was a floating corpse. The pool was not big, and there was a layer of green grass growing on it, and the corpse floated on the grass like a rotten cotton. Indeed, Meng Xiaodie saw a highly rotten corpse, and the skin and flesh of the corpse were white, revealing the bones inside.
Fortunately, the corpse's head was still intact. Although its nose had been bitten off by something, its face was still recognizable.
"Feng Da Ma, this is Feng Da Ma."
Meng Xiaodie also recognized that it was Feng Da Ma. Feng Da Ma's body was originally in the secret room of the grocery store, and it was filled with jewelry.
However, after Feng Da Ma disappeared, the other five rooms also disappeared. At that time, Meng Xiao Die felt it was inconceivable, but the scene before his eyes was even more inconceivable.
Why would Feng Da Ma's corpse appear in this pond? Was someone intentionally throwing the corpse away? Was this person challenging them?
Shen Hong also came out when she heard the noise. She looked at the highly rotting corpse and said without thinking, "It was poisoned by the crawling man."
"Crawler? How was this possible? He died in his own grocery store. "
Meng Xiaodie could not believe it. She roughly told him what she had seen two days ago when Feng Da Ma died, which meant it had little to do with the crawling men.
"From the rotting state of the body, it was indeed bitten by a crawling man, believe it or not." Shen Hong was still convinced that it was the crawling man who did it.
"Is there a crawling person in that grocery store?" This is unbelievable. " Jiang Bufan also felt that this was unbelievable.
"It's unlikely." Shen Hong immediately rejected Jiang Qisha's notion, "If that were the case, then this castle would have been destroyed long ago."
"Your words are contradictory. Since you decided that Feng Da Ma was bitten to death by a crawling person, how can you say that is impossible? I really did slap myself. " Jiang Bufan began to mock him again.
"I mean, it's impossible for a crawling person to appear in a grocery store. "Forget it, I can't explain it to you."
Meng Xiaodie urgently needed to unravel this mystery, so she said to Jiang Feifan, "I'm going to the grocery store."
"Let's see if we can find any clues."
"Alright, let's go together." Jiang Bufan immediately agreed. As soon as he encountered the investigation, he was immediately enlivened.
"You guys go ahead and find out what's going on. I will bring some people to get some essential items, so I will not go with you. But I will definitely come back before nightfall. I will give Hero Meng the first antidote." Shen Hong seemed to be implying something within his words.
Jiang Xian seized this opportunity and immediately retaliated, "Are you afraid that we'll run away?"
"Think what you like." Shen Hong swung his hand and entered the house.
Without further ado, Meng Xiaodie and Jiang Feifan left Linglong's small courtyard, walked through several streets and arrived at a grocery store.
Pushing open the sealed door, he saw that it was still dark inside and entered the hall. He searched for a few rooms that looked like secret rooms, but there were still none. Those rooms had mysteriously disappeared.
They went from the front hall to the backyard, then up to the second floor, and checked back and forth. Each room was empty, without any sign of suspicion.
The two of them returned to the front hall. Meng Xiaodie suddenly noticed a few black dots on the floor. Upon closer inspection, the color was dark red, like blood. Meng Xiaodie followed the trail of blood until she arrived in front of the sculpture.
It was a statue of a warrior, about the size of a real person, holding a sword in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.
There were also dark red blood stains on the sword. Meng Xiaodie had made up her mind that the problem was probably the sword. He went up and twisted the sword. With a series of creaking sounds, a hole actually appeared on the wall behind the sculpture.
The cave entrance was not large, just large enough for a person to enter and exit.
"F * ck, I didn't think that this grocery store would have some hidden traps." He was especially excited. As he bent his waist, he wanted to go inside, but was stopped by Meng Xiaodie.
"We are still unclear about the situation inside the cave, so we shouldn't act rashly."
"Are you afraid of hidden weapons?"
"I can't say for sure." Meng Xiaodie found a long wooden stick and poked it a few times. Indeed, there were no hidden weapons. Only then did he feel relieved.
After passing through a long and narrow stone path, the interior became much wider. As he continued forward, it became darker and darker, with almost no light coming in.
He discovered that there was a groove in the wall a few meters away, and an oil lamp was placed on top of it. In succession, he lit the oil lamp, and found that where the light shone, there was a large hall, surrounded by five doors.
"So those five rooms are here. This must be where the treasure is hidden." Meng Xiaodie opened one of the doors. It was completely empty inside. As she opened the other door, she saw that it was on the ground …
Pushing open the third door, they suddenly smelled a foul stench. They went in and found a corpse lying in the corner, but it was no longer a complete corpse. Its arms and legs were incomplete, and it was missing an ear, and there were spots on its face.
Jiang Bufan lit up the oil lamp on the wall and covered his nose with his hands as he took a closer look.
This person's face was also basically intact. He looked to be in his thirties or forties, and there was a black mole the size of a broad bean on his left cheek.
"Cloud Hand Mo Qingchan." Jiang Bufan shouted loudly.
Upon hearing that it was Mo Qingchu, Meng Xiaodie also came over. She was very familiar with this name.
"A great thief like Mo Qingchan, it seems like he is related to Iron Abacus and Big Horse Feng."
Jiang Bufan nodded his head, "I have been following Big Horse Feng for many years. Never in my wildest dreams would I have thought that he would join hands with Mo Qingcao. There should be someone else."
Meng Xiaodie noticed that Mo Qingchan's hand was tightly clenched, as though he was holding something.
"What do you see in his hand?" Meng Xiaodie reminded Jiang Bufan.
Mo Qingchan clenched his fist tightly. Jiang Bufan used the tip of his blade to pick a few times, but he didn't manage to break it. He simply cut open that rotten hand and tore off a piece of silk in his hand.
"This must have been torn from the killer's body. Sigh, it looks quite familiar. Right, this piece of cloth is very similar to the clothes of the green-eyed dwarf."
"Could the green-eyed dwarf be one of the three accomplices?"
"There is such a possibility. When I was fighting with the green-eyed dwarf, I felt that something was wrong. He suddenly disappeared, so he must have entered the secret passageway at that time. "
"You suspect that the green-eyed dwarf has killed Mo Qingchu?" Jiang Bufan asked thoughtfully.
"It's very possible that these three gangs fought each other and ended up killing each other due to the uneven distribution of the loot."
"Meng Xiaodie, you are faster at analyzing than me, the constable. I admit that what you said is reasonable, but what about the green-eyed dwarf? Where will he go? "
"He might have brought some treasure with him, so we'll look around to see if there are any clues left behind."
