Chapter 350 Liu’s House Underground (Second Update)
Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said excitedly:
“What you said made me think of a possibility, the Liu brothers I had no idea that the so-called ancestral home was in my courtyard. Since those people can lie to them and appease them, they have naturally gained their trust. Maybe they followed them with their faces covered every time. They didn’t know it until they saw the money underground, so the rest of the Liu family didn’t know the problem. In the house, that makes sense. , why they only mentioned the ancestral home but no one could give an approximate location. It makes more sense. From the perspective of outsiders, why did they stay in the home and not leave? "
Xing Yun was even more puzzled. , he asked: "With so many people in the Liu family, how can we let those People can come and go freely and open the secret door without being discovered?"
Song Gu hurriedly explained: "Most of them live in inns, and women and children usually live here, so we use some means to make them sleep deeply. Some should not be difficult.”
Xing Yun nodded, looked at Wu Chen and asked: "But, even if you know that this is the case, what can you do?"
"You can't do anything. This is the process of investigating the case. The evidence is all there. , naturally there is no need to infer. For an old case like this that has been over ten years, I can only continue to draw conclusions from it. During the inference, you can get some of the appearance of the murderer, one stroke at a time. Only then can you make the final judgment. Your work only requires your hands. Unlike me, in addition to working hard, you also need to use your brain. "< br>
Xing Yun was choked and opened his mouth, but did not say a word.
The second year of high school students laughed and said to Xing Yun:
“Don’t take it to heart. When Xu Dagang and I started working together with Brother Wu, we were often scolded for being brainless, and Gu You, I have grown a lot now, and you will too after a while.”
Wu Chen said solemnly:
"He is different from you. He wants to go back to recover. How do you ask him to report to the officials what I did that night? Apart from the battle just now, you Can you tell him what I said? He just wants to hear the conclusion."
The sophomore nodded sympathetically.
Xing Yun pursed his lips and lowered his head.
Wu Chen stood up and said, "Let's go, I probably have an idea in my mind. Let's go down and have a look, and then you can do whatever you want."
...
There are steps below the secret door. Wu Chen dared to jump down because he could see clearly. Xing Yun and the others did not dare to jump down easily, so they all walked down the steps slowly holding torches.
There are more than twenty steps. By the time they finished walking, the sophomore in high school had already begun to exclaim: "It's so big! How much gold and silver does it have to contain? There are still empty boxes!"
Song What Gu was concerned about was: "Why is it built so high?"
Wu Chen shrugged and said: "The lower floor is also so high. It seems that there is really a lot of gold and silver hidden, but... where is the silver?"< br>
Xing Yun said, "You haven't spent all your time transporting money these years, have you?"
Wu Chen turned to look at Xing Yun and said, "Go back and tell the officials whether Xingguo wants to be strong or not." It’s hard, but now I’m sending him money again. After the case is found out, the money will go into the inner treasury. Is it appropriate to reduce the tax?”
“You are thinking comprehensively!” Answered coldly.
"Is the floor with the stone gate as high as that?" Song Gu asked.
Wu Chen nodded and said: "It seems to be higher than this floor, with walls made of bricks and stones on all sides. These two floors alone will take some time, so I asked Shang Fuyin before, Where was the capital of the previous dynasty? ”
Shang Gong clasped his fists in admiration and said, "Deputy Ambassador Wu knows things like a god!"
"It's not that he knows things like a god, but he infers that for such a big project, no, such a big darkroom, what will happen after the construction starts? Will it alert the government?"
Wu Chen said, leading a few people to the next step.
......
The next floor is exactly the same as the previous one. Wu Chen asked: "Do you see any problems?"
Several people looked around by the light of torches, and Song Gu was the first to speak:
"The two floors don't seem to be as dusty as the rooms above, but it makes sense, but... If this place was full of boxes before, you should be able to see some traces now, but there is something... unseasonably clean here."
Shang Gong said hurriedly: "Not only are the two floors clean, but also the ground. There isn't much dust on the stairs, either. No shoe prints can be found.”
Wu Chen nodded and said:
“Does this mean they come here often, and even after transporting the gold and silver, someone has cleaned this place. You guys. Looking at the height here, the tunnel over there should have been opened to the previous level and above this level. Obviously, they did not open it here, but turned a corner after reaching this wall and went down. ”
Several people nodded.
Wu Chen added:
"The snake's nest should be behind the stone gate. Their tunnel turns downwards. Is it directly the snake's nest? I don't think so. Since the snake's nest is to protect some kind of If there is a thing, then it will be in the same room as that thing. It is necessary to have walls around it so that those things will not escape, and he They dug along the wall. Logically speaking, they could enter the darkroom on the lower floor just by breaking through the wall. But where was the snake's nest located? Not to mention their casualties, where did they come from? Didn't he take the opportunity to build a door in the secret passage? "
A few people looked at Wu Chen without saying anything.
Wu Chen could only add a concluding sentence: "If they cannot know the location of the snake's nest, it will be difficult for them to open the correct tunnel entrance at once."
Song Gu nodded in agreement and said: "It may not be impossible to find a snake nest in the distance after getting through, but it is true that we are very lucky, and we still have time for them to block it and build a door..."
< br>"If they didn't know there was a snake den, they would have found another way just because they couldn't open the stone door. After discovering the snake den, they should have sealed it before making plans, but now it seems that they have been focusing on that tunnel."
Song Gu nodded.
The remaining people look at me and I look at you, as if they don’t know what these two people are talking about.
Wu Chen was too lazy to talk nonsense. These were just inferences at the moment. He said nothing more and led a few people down to the bottom floor. The space here was much smaller. When he got down the steps, he saw the stone door. There is only a narrow path in front of the stone gate.
Xing Yun and the second grade student held torches and carefully looked around the stone gate. The second grade student said while looking: "If you need to touch the mechanism to open the stone door, there must be a place to put the mechanism, right? The surrounding area is so flat..."
< br>"If the mechanism can be opened, why does the Liu family need to come? Since the Liu family has been identified, only blood can prove the bloodline. There should be blood tanks around the stone gate." Xing Yun said.
Song Gu said: "The Liu family may know about the treasure chest under the secret door, but they may not know that there is a stone door below."
Shang Gong said: "Just look at the size of the upper two floors. I know that the Liu family will spend more than a few lifetimes, but the Liu family still opened an inn. Deputy Ambassador Wu, what do you think of this matter?"
Wu Chen asked: "How can you be sure that this house has always been the Liu family? "(End of this chapter)
