Chapter 1281 Have You Seen Your Mother? How Come?

After finding the reason, Liu Wei looked forward.

The underground river flows from right to left. Liu Wei stepped on the stones, took a few steps out of thin air, and rushed to the bluestone bank on the side.

The bluestone bank was probably built by workers hired after the underground river was first introduced. The cost of the bluestone countertop is higher than that of mudstone, but the effect is obvious. It is waterproof, strong and will not rot for hundreds of years. In the early days, bluestone bricks were used for repairs. City walls are a hundred times more durable than ordinary stone bricks and mud bricks.

The bluestone bank of the underground river was built to be very narrow, probably to save costs. Children can walk on it without any problem, but adults have a hard time walking on it. If they are not careful, they may fall into the river.

Along the bluestone bank, Liu Wei slowly explored.

After walking about a hundred meters, Liu Wei saw another wellhead, which must be a neighbor's. There was no big stone under the neighbor's wellhead. If the bucket was thrown down, it would be able to fill a bucket of water.

After passing seven or eight houses, Liu Wei looked back and found that he could no longer see the place where he went down to the well. The length of this underground river was much longer than originally thought.

The old man said that this underground river connected to the reservoir, and the reservoir connected to the mountainside, so if she really went all the way, by the time she exited, she would have already gone up the mountain.

Looking at the bluestone bank, Liu Wei imagined for a moment, if she had to cross the entire river from here and bring a corpse with her, how much hardship would it be?

After thinking, she stopped and started looking into the water.

The bluestone bank is not suitable for walking. The most time-saving and labor-saving way for the murderer is to take a boat, row a boat to enter from the mountain pass, then go all the way to the bottom of the well in Zhao Wu's courtyard, and finally find a way to climb up.

If so, things get tricky.

Flowing water is a very magical thing, it can annihilate and take away all traces.

Liu Wei continued to move forward, farther and farther.

When she stopped in the dark, the wellhead was no longer visible above the river. In other words, there were no houses in this section and no one was digging wells to draw water.

Liu Wei continued walking, and after walking for almost an hour, she saw light ahead.

That's an exit.

The water flow speed at the outlet is much faster than before.

If you want to get out from here, you will definitely get soaked.

Gritting her teeth, Liu Wei had no choice. Now it was obviously impossible for her to return the same way. Qingshi Shore was really too difficult for adults to walk. She was almost useless after walking there. If she walked again, she Half your life has to be lost in it.

She rushed out of the connection with courage, and when Liu Wei came to her senses, she had already emerged from the ground, floating in the water, and saw the scenery outside.

In front of her was a large slow water shelf with fast water flow, and in front of it was surging water. Farther away, she could hear the sound of falling waterfalls.

She slowly swam against the current to the far shore. After landing on the shore, Liu Wei was already soaked. She twisted her hair and squeezed out a lot of water.

It was cool in autumn, and a gust of mountain breeze blew. Her nose was slightly itchy and she sneezed three times.

Taking steps, Liu Wei continued to walk forward, and not long after walking, she saw a small wooden boat.

Walking to the wooden boat, Liu Wei found that the boat had several patches on it and the oars were broken into two pieces.

The canoe was placed next to the pile of stones on the shore, and the reins were just tied there casually. Liu Wei was silent for a while, and then walked forward again.

As she guessed, walking further forward was a small house.

The structure of the wooden house looks like a temporary rest house built by hunters in the mountains.

Liu Wei walked over and looked in from the window.

There was only one table, two benches, and a stove in the room.

And there was a large iron pot embedded on the stove.

There is some sticky stuff in the iron pot. It must be that the pot has not been cleaned after use, and there is still a faint smell in the pot.

Facing the stench, Liu Wei twirled some of the sticky stuff in the pot, sniffed it, and then narrowed her eyes.

"As expected."

This sticky substance is a mixture of decomposed human flesh and oil. This is where Sun Tong's body was fried.

Looking at the bloody machete on the cutting board next to him, Liu Wei once again confirmed that the minced meat on it was human flesh and the blood stains were human blood.

It seems that this is the scene where the murderer's body was dismembered.

Liu Wei left the room and continued to look around hurriedly.

This is it, this is it.

Now she only needs to determine how many exits there are in the mountain road and where the murderer goes up and down the mountain. This case will be half solved.

The mountain road was difficult to walk, so Liu Wei simply used his inner strength to float into the air.

Qinggong is a magic weapon for traveling, but it also consumes a lot of energy, especially on mountains where there are many trees. Flying too high makes it difficult to see the road below, and flying too low makes you constrained.

Just when she was so tired that she had to stop on a tree to rest, a bird song came from not far away.

"Jiejiejie..."

Then, another eagle cry.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

Liu Wei has always been with Gugu, but Gugu is not a human after all.

Therefore, before getting off the boat, she told Gugu to let it fly to the mountains around the county. It really grew bigger and bigger, and its physique was too eye-catching no matter where it was placed.

After Liu Wei and Rong Leng met, they had not seen Pearl yet.

I heard from Xiao Li that Pearl was in poor health. She had been injured before and had been unwilling to move and was in low spirits. Therefore, after Rong Leng, Xiao Li and Chou Chou reunited, Pearl ran away from Huaishan, saying that she was "going to To receive the spiritual energy of heaven and earth.”

Regardless of whether this stupid bird has read too much and his brain is not working properly, in short, he is gone and never comes back. It has been half a month and not even a hair has been seen.

Huaishan was too big, and Xiao Li didn't know where the stupid bird had gone, so he couldn't inform Zhenzhu when his mother came back.

But now, Liu Wei couldn't control herself and shouted: "Pearl!"

Two of them were running towards her. When they heard the call, they rushed this way with great energy. After a while, a swollen black bird ran into Liu Wei's arms. The pearls rolled on Liu Wei's body and became sticky. It screamed and jumped, and if it had a tail, it would probably be an afterimage.

Liu Wei also missed it, holding it in her hands and stroking its fur, while Gugu stood next to her and raised her neck and called.

With the help of the two, Liu Wei didn't even have to walk anymore, he was lazy and sneaky like an old man.

…

Xiao Li waited and waited in the dyeing workshop. He became anxious several times and called his mother's name from the bottom of the well, but every time he got no answer.

He was worried that something had happened to his mother, and he thought how could something happen to her?

However, as the sun was setting in the west, his mother still didn't respond at all. He finally panicked and wondered if he should go down and take a look?

At this moment, a black black star bird circled down from the sky, landed on top of his head accurately, and opened its mouth to call out to him.

Xiao Li was so surprised that he took the black bird off by its little feet and said, "Zhenzhu, how do you know I'm here? I've been looking for you for two days, where have you been? By the way, I'm telling you, I'm looking for you." You’ve kissed your mother, but you haven’t seen her yet, have you? She went down into the well, and you’ll see her when she comes up soon!”

Hearing Xiao Li's startled words, Pearl hummed in disdain: "Jie Jie Jie..."

Xiao Li was stunned: "Did you see my mother? How could it be? She was at the bottom of the well. Where did you see her?"

Pearl explained to him: "Jie, Jie, Jie... Jie... Jie, Jie, Jie..."

Pearl talked for a long time, and Xiao Li nodded after listening: "Gugu is here too, okay, okay, mother asked me to go to the Yamen, right? I'll go right away!"

…

Liu Wei went to the Yamen just in time for dinner.

As soon as County Magistrate Song saw her, he almost cried. He banged the table and asked, "Where did you hide the eldest lady of the Sun family? Do you know that the Sun family is almost forcing me to death? The Sun family is blocking me." At the door of the house, you want someone from me, you want someone from me, you want someone from me! You sent a little soul boy to tell me, saying that I should bear the burden first. I did, and I have been bearing it for you all night. What about today? Where is the person? You are still hiding from me, where have you been all day? I sent someone to the inn, and they said you went out with the little soul boy before dawn, where have you two been? Where is the young lady!"

Magistrate Song looked so broken that Liu Wei even sympathized with him, but she couldn't pay Wan back, but it was a bit hurtful to say it bluntly, so she decided to be tactful and change the subject first.

So she asked: "Whose territory is No. 3 Dongmin Street?"

Magistrate Song didn't know why she asked like this, so he tried to figure it out and replied: "Ship merchant Li Daguan, what happened?"

Liu Wei asked again: "How is the financial resources of that official Li's family? How many people are there in the family?"

When it comes to financial resources, it is County Magistrate Song’s job: “They are on par with Yuanwai Sun. The two businesses are in different businesses, but they both make money. 90% of the cargo ships and passenger ships at the dock belong to Li Daguan. They are extremely wealthy, but their population does not seem to be very prosperous. They had an only son and three daughters. I heard that they found a son born out of an extramarital relationship years ago. The child is quite promising. Li Daguan gave him 30% of the cargo ship. Take care of it.”

Liu Wei asked again: "What about the original only son? Who is he?"

Magistrate Song snorted: "Who else can be similar to Sun Jian?"

At this point, he became suspicious again: "Why on earth are you asking these questions?"

Liu Wei waved his hand: "It's nothing, we just found the murderer, the murderer of Sun Jian and Sun Tong."

Magistrate Song: "???"
