Chapter 390 Signs

After Xiao Yu and Shen Mizhi left, Duan Rong wrote a list to Liu Shushan and Ximen Kankan, asking them to buy some things and then he went out.

Ximen Kankan looked at the list Duan Rong gave him, and saw that it was filled with various items.

"What is this for? Opening a grocery store!"

Liu Shushan stared at the list, his eyes flickering. He wanted to see some clues of Duan Rong's plan from these things, but he thought about it again and again, but still had no clue.

"Forget it!" Ximen Kankan slapped the list in his hand to Liu Shushan. "You are familiar with the place, take a look at these things, where can you buy them?"

Liu Shushan roughly browsed it and had an idea in his mind.

The two of them left the villa soon.

As they walked along the alley, Liu Shushan's eyes suddenly moved and he asked, "Kankan, I just heard you promised Brother Duan that you would burn something. What was it?"

Just now in the hall, when Duan Rong and Ximen Kankan were talking about this, Liu Shushan was standing next to Ximen Kankan and heard everything they said.

When Ximen Kankan heard this, he was very unhappy and said, "What else could it be? The pornographic painting I showed you?"

"What?!" Liu Shushan's eyes suddenly jumped when he heard this. "That one? Could it be the Light of Humanity?"

"Yes."

"You want to burn the Light of Humanity?! Kankan, you promised me to keep it well."

Ximen Kankan glanced at Liu Shushan and said, "Do you think I want to burn it? Duan Rong has said it several times. I don't think it can be kept."

Liu Shushan wondered, "But Brother Duan, why did he burn it?"

Ximen Kankan said, "Because he painted it."

"What?! Brother Duan...painted it?!" Liu Shushan's jaw almost dropped in shock.

"You mean that the Light of Humanity was painted by Brother Duan?" He really couldn't believe it. He froze there for a while and even forgot to walk.

"Yes!" Ximen Kankan turned his head and looked at Liu Shushan who was standing there, and said, "I only told you this. Don't tell anyone else!"

"Oh...I know." Liu Shushan agreed, his face still stunned.

This news was too shocking for him.

The erotic painting flashed through his mind again, and Liu Shushan murmured in astonishment: "Brother Duan is really a strange man!"

After Duan Rong left Liu Shushan's courtyard, he walked towards the dungeon of the city.

But he did not go to the circle of streets outside the dungeon, but entered a residential area not far from the dungeon.

Duan Rong strolled leisurely in the alley, which was deserted, and occasionally a stray dog ​​would pass by.

Most of the houses in this area are relatively old, and sometimes they can be seen collapsed. Such houses are obviously not in the area of ​​​​rich people in this place in the city.

Duan Rong's spiritual sense has been released to explore the situation of nearby houses. Most of them are swept through, and occasionally they will encounter those that need to be carefully explored. All such houses are judged by him to be potentially useful.

Duan Rong spent about two hours to check the houses in this area.

Combining the situation of the houses and the location, he finally selected three "target houses".

Duan Rong stood outside the courtyard wall of a residential house, and saw that a few weeds had grown on the top of the wall, swaying gently in the evening breeze.

Under the cover of his spiritual sense, Duan Rong made sure that there was no one around, and suddenly he showed his body shape, and his whole body suddenly rose from the ground, and then floated gently into the courtyard from top to bottom like a fallen leaf riding the wind.

There were already a lot of sparse weeds growing in the yard, and Duan Rong's arrival startled a few birds.

Duan Rong walked through the weeds in the yard and came to the door of the main room, only to see that the iron lock on the old door was already rusty.

Duan Rong raised his hand, and the true energy of his fingertips jumped out, and with a light stroke, the iron lock had broken into two halves.

The moment he pushed the door open, his face and hands were covered with spider webs.

He picked up the spider webs on his body and took a look, and saw that the tables and chairs inside were all covered with a thick layer of dust.

"I'm afraid this house has been uninhabited for at least two or three years!"

Duan Rong looked up and saw the beams on the roof of the hall that were as thick as half a person's arms.

The quality of this house is actually very good. It is not made of mud bricks, but of blue bricks.

The house is also tall and spacious, with a main room facing north and south, and two inner rooms connected from east to west on both sides.

Duan Rong took a full circle and felt very good, and he was also very satisfied with the location of this place.

Originally, he selected three "target houses". The reason why he came to see this one first was that he thought it was the most suitable. Sure enough, after seeing it, he was very satisfied.

With this, the other two alternatives can be directly ignored.

Duan Rong walked out and left the wooden door of the main room ajar.

At this time, the yard with sparse weeds was already a vast twilight.

Duan Rong used his body skills and flew out.

He returned to the courtyard in the deep twilight. Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan had been waiting for him in the hall for a long time.

The two were bored and were playing chess.

When he saw Duan Rong coming back, Ximen Kankan asked, "Why did you take so long to come back? You asked him to buy so many messy things. What's the use of them? We bought them all."

Duan Rong looked up and saw a round sack lying on the ground not far from the two of them. He did not answer Ximen Kankan's question, but asked: "Have you bought everything on the list? Don't miss anything!"

Liu Shushan said: "I bought everything. I checked it again when I came back, and nothing was missing."

Duan Rong nodded and said: "Shushan, make some dinner. And then make dry food for three people for ten days."

"Three people? Dry food for ten days?" Liu Shushan's eyes moved. The three people Duan Rong mentioned were obviously the three of them.

Duan Rong said: "Make something rich in the evening, and we will have a good meal. You can drink a little if you want. In the next ten days, we will probably only eat dry food and drink water."

Liu Shushan and Ximen Kankan looked at each other.

Eating dry food and drinking water, what is this for? Is it to let them go to jail for Shen Yanliu?

Since Duan Rong said so, Liu Shushan went to the restaurant and ordered a rather sumptuous dinner, and also brought a jar of good wine.

Although several people came to this courtyard, Liu Shushan had never properly fulfilled his hospitality as a host because of the urgent matter. He took this opportunity to toast the two of them with a few glasses of wine.

The night was dark, and the three of them drank happily and had a great time.

Ximen Kankan touched his bulging belly, looked at Duan Rong, and asked: "We have eaten and drunk wine, what are you going to do? Can you tell me?"

Duan Rong said: "Sleep! We will gather here at midnight."

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he really got up and went to sleep in his room.

The two looked at each other, and could only go to sleep.

Duan Rong slept for a while, and when he walked into the hall again quite comfortably, Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan were already waiting there.

After taking a look at the two of them, Duan Rong walked to the bulging sack, pulled out two stacked wicker baskets from the bottom, and then put three short-handled iron shovels in the baskets.

Duan Rong carried the basket, looked at the two people, and said, "Take the dry food and follow me. Be careful on the road and don't make any noise."

Before the two people could react, Duan Rong had already used his body shape and jumped out.

Liu Shushan immediately carried the dry food on the table, used his body shape, and chased out.

Duan Rong did not use his body shape to the fullest. With his state of great perfection in the realm of true qi, if he used his full strength, Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan would not be able to keep up with him.

Duan Rong used his spiritual consciousness to clear the way, and the three people's bodies were like ghosts, jumping in the dark.

All the way, Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan were surprised.

They had already passed through several busy streets in the city. Liu Shushan knew that patrols often went back and forth on these streets at midnight.

But they were almost moving all the way. Several times, they saw the patrols turning around just after they reached the alley.

If it happened once, it would be normal.

It was like this all the way, and the two of them were inevitably suspicious. Isn't this a bit too lucky?

Moreover, Liu Shushan soon discovered that the direction they were running was the direction to the dungeon in the city. He looked at Duan Rong's erratic back not far ahead, and couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Since he met Duan Rong, the longer the time, the more he felt that he didn't know this person. Especially this afternoon, when he knew that the spring palace picture of the light of humanity was from Duan Rong's hand, he almost broke into pieces.

Duan Rong led the two of them and suddenly jumped into a civilian alley, and then his figure flashed in the crisscrossing alleys.

No mistakes, one post, one content, one 6, one 9, one book, one bar!

It was late at night and the beginning of the month. The stars and the moon were dim. Duan Rong would cough lightly every time he turned a corner to show his position to the two people behind him.

Otherwise, even at such a close distance, in this dark night, the two might still lose him.

Duan Rong suddenly stopped in front of a residential house.

Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan turned the alley and saw a figure standing there in the dark.

The two of them moved and stood beside Duan Rong.

Duan Rong whispered, "It's here, follow me in."

After Duan Rong finished speaking, his figure floated up, jumped over the wall, and landed in a yard with sparse weeds.

Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan also fell behind him.

Duan Rong led the two to the door of the main hall, and with a gentle push, the door opened by itself, and the three walked in.

In the darkness, it was pitch dark. However, after adapting for a while, the three could still barely distinguish objects.

Ximen Kankan said, "Why are we here?"

Duan Rong said, "Your task is to help me carry soil."

"Carry soil?"

Duan Rong said, and handed the basket in his hand to the two.

Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan each took a basket and a short-handled iron shovel.

Duan Rong said, "The soil that is carried out should be piled in this main hall and the two inner rooms next to it. Don't pile it in the yard."

The reason why Duan Rong chose this residential house is that it is spacious and has enough space to pile up soil debris. If the soil is piled in the yard, there is a risk of exposure.

After Duan Rong finished speaking, he grasped a short-handled iron shovel, infused his arm with true energy, and suddenly shoveled it in the middle of the floor of the main hall.

With one shovel, a large piece of soil was shaved off, just like peeling tofu.

Duan Rong focused his eyes and dug down with one shovel after another.

At this time, Ximen Kankan and Liu Shushan already understood that Duan Rong wanted to dig a hole.

In the darkness, Liu Shushan's eyes flickered.

Although this place is not too far from the dungeon of the prefectural city, it refers to the walking distance. If it is to dig a hole, this distance is really too long.

At such a long distance, underground, how to judge the direction and position?

Who can guarantee that he will not dig off?

To put it another way, even if you can really dig into the dungeon without digging off, how can you be sure that you have not dug yourself into the bunker of the dungeon?

In Liu Shushan's opinion, this method has no value for implementation.

If the method Duan Rong mentioned before was this method, he would be really disappointed.

Liu Shushan chose his words carefully and asked: "Brother Duan, if you are going to dig a hole and dig into the dungeon? Isn't this a bit unreasonable?"

In fact, Ximen Kankan had the same idea, but when Duan Rong solved the case before, he was too amazing, so he didn't dare to question Duan Rong for a while.

Duan Rong stopped swinging his shovel and said, "Shushan, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Duan Rong finished speaking and continued digging.

Although Liu Shushan was still hesitant, Ximen Kankan had already started to help Duan Rong with the waste soil, so he chose to trust Duan Rong.

Seeing that Ximen Kankan had already started, Liu Shushan sighed and started to work.

In the evening, in a study room in the backyard of the government office in the prefecture.

Chen Xun leaned on a leather armchair. He was tired all day and was sitting there to take a nap to recuperate.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Chen Xun moved his body, sighed, and said, "Come in!"

The door opened, and Li Hong flashed in. He looked at Chen Xun cautiously. He also knew that Chen Xun would take a rest at this time. If there was no important situation, he would not dare to disturb him at this time.

Chen Xun glanced at Li Hong and asked in a deep voice, "What happened?"

Li Hong said, "Sir, is Shen Mizhi back to handle the case again?"

Hearing this, Chen Xun's originally lazy body immediately sat up straight. "Is the news true? When did it happen?"

Li Hong said, "The people in the yamen over there just sent the news. They arrived at the post station last night and reported to the yamen early this morning."

Chen Xun's hand rubbed the slippery handle of the armchair and murmured, "There is a problem. There must be a problem."

Chen Xun raised his eyes and looked at Li Hong, saying, "What do you think about this?"

"I am not sure for the moment. Her father is imprisoned in the dungeon and may be executed at any time, but she still has the mind to handle other cases. This is somewhat against human ethics!?" Li Hong He said thoughtfully: "Unless..."

"Unless what?"

"Unless their father-daughter relationship was originally very bad. Shen Yanliu is power-hungry, and Ma Chunmin is a stepmother. In such a family, it is possible...possible"

Chen Xun said: "Is there any way to check their father-daughter relationship?"

Li Hong said: "When the Shen family was raided, a group of maids, servants, and guards were arrested. I remember that there was a maid who seemed to be Shen Mizhi's personal maid. She grew up with Shen Mizhi. She should know something."

"Go check it out." Chen Xun's face was solemn. "I want the details."

"Yes, sir." Li Hong stood up and left the study.

Chen Xun took a sip of the ginseng tea on the table, and a trace of irritation rose in his heart. He hated the feeling that things jumped out of his control.

He had this experience many times. Any subtle sign of jumping out of control may be lurking behind a huge crisis.

Just like the bubbles that suddenly floated on the surface of the swamp, it might be the lurking giant beast, breathing...
