Suspect in Jinling

Chapter 18 The Fallen Ghost

One heavy wooden cabinet, one heavy iron wall, first separate left and right from the gap in the middle of the Baizi cabinet, one fold, two folds, three folds...

The door of the secret passage was opened in a series of tricks.

"There are three exits in the secret road, one leads directly to the outside of the mansion, one leads to Fusi in Beizhen, and the other connects to the North Gate Bridge in the north of the city. The north of the city is covered by mountains and the terrain is flat. The thieves should go to the North Gate Bridge. Jiang Xingzheng, take someone to the North Gate. The gate of the gate bridge is surrounded, and some people come down to the secret room with me, and we attack back and forth!" Chu Ji has already guessed the identity of that person, and that person does not play cards according to common sense, and his behavior is unpredictable. If he is really allowed to get something, Concerned about the dead Mr. Pang, and his own future, he will try his best to get it back!

He gritted his teeth, and said cruelly: "Order, this thief is very dangerous, if he cannot be captured alive, he will kill him directly!"

Chu Ji's prestige in the town government department is still there, after a few words, several subordinates have already started to move, but at this moment, Jiang Xingzheng said coldly: "Chu Qianhu, you have been temporarily dismissed, brothers look at you In the past, I still respect you as "thousand households", but you can't arrange such a big operation by yourself, you need to report to Master Lu tomorrow to make arrangements."

Suddenly, Chu Ji paused, and stood on the steep stairs and turned his head in disbelief: "Tomorrow? The time is imminent, is there still time tomorrow?"

Jiang Xingzheng refused to give an inch, and under the illumination of the candlelight, he looked down from a height with indifferent eyes.

During the day, Chu Ji was perfunctory with killing Xiangyue, and at night he joined forces with Yingtian Mansion to expose and steal credit. Master Lu is already unhappy with this old minister left behind by the Pang family. If anyone continues like this today, he will touch the new governor My lord's bad luck!Several members of the subordinates were holding down the Xiuchun knife at first, but when they heard Jiang Xingzheng's words, they all stopped in embarrassment.

Chu Ji glanced at them coldly, and suddenly understood what it means for someone to take a cold tea, "Okay...ok..." He said these two words through his teeth, and said viciously: "It's a great contribution, don't. Then let you go!" After saying that, without looking back, he ran into the secret path without hesitation...

The sound of hurried running came from the depths of the tunnel. It didn't sound like many footsteps, but they were extremely urgent.

"Someone is chasing you." Sha Xiangyue turned her head, her footsteps were empty, especially when she was standing at the Han gate.

Kuang Jian stood on the gate wall and listened: "There is only one person."

Sha Xiangyue's lips moved palely, "It should be Chu Ji."

The night in early March was still very cold, the shadow of the moon lightly wiped across the full night sky, Sha Xiangyue was drenched all over, and shivered slightly.

Kuang Jian looked back and forth. This place is close to Guo Guo in the western suburbs, and there is no shelter. There is a small hill in the northwest, and dragons and tigers are in the dark. There are field ridges on both sides, overlooking the end of the wilderness, a piece of shepherd's wheat is green.

Sha Xiangyue rubbed her hands, turned her head and looked up at the culvert gate behind her. This culvert gate is the small Qinhuai water outlet. There are three sets of double-closed copper sluice gates in the shape of yin and yang. Grabbing the iron lock in the middle of the lock, under the moonlight, the blue-black iron lock made his hands pale and pale. When Kuang Jian turned his head, he saw the blue veins on the back of Sha Xiangyue's hand rising rapidly. It took three people to work together to roll it. The iron chain he was pulling twisted slowly under the condition that he exerted his strength alone, and then, the upper and lower culvert gates creaked three times, and the culvert gates opened rumblingly——

"What did you do?" Kuang Jian asked.

Sha Xiangyue returned the same way, and rubbed her cold hands vigorously, "It's nothing, I will open another gate later, and set up a doubtful formation."

The footsteps in the culvert became louder, Sha Xiangyue's voice was trembling, her lips were trembling and purple, as if she was very cold, Kuang Jian knew that there was no delay, so she dragged his arm and quickly went down the gate wall, but just walked for a while , Sha Xiangyue stepped on the stream stone, and suddenly stopped:

"Let's go separately, I'll lure him away."

The river bank is vast and full of the sound of water.Kuang Jian didn't understand, a little irritable: "What?"

Sha Xiangyue turned around to show him the clear footprints along the way. He was soaked all over his body, and every step he took was a trace of a step, so that the pursuers could not mistake him for it. He wrapped several layers of things, and handed them to him with a pale face, "You are from the Gongmen. He saw that I was fine, but he saw that you were fine."

Because the clothes were damp, the tights rolled out at his wrist bones, and under the moonlight, the muscles and bones were frozen like frost and snow.

"Damn it!"

He felt pity for Kuang Jian, so he couldn't help cursing. He wanted to take off his clothes for him, but he was afraid of being abrupt.He looked around anxiously. If he didn't want to walk along the stone road along the river, he would have to walk on the field ridge. The rain was heavy a few days ago, and he would sink into the mud whenever he touched it. The footprints were more distinct and it was more difficult to get out. He refused to throw Xia Shaxiangyue refused to accept the paper bag, seeing that there was nothing to hide in this area, he frowned, pointed to the Zimu Bridge more than a hundred steps away, and said, "There, let's go there first. "

Chu Ji chased after the footprints, running fast——

There was a fire in his heart, and Jiang Xingzheng's attitude just now made him feel angry. Mr. Pang died, and his situation in the Zhenfu Division was already on thin ice, but the idiot who was pushed up temporarily couldn't figure out the situation at all. Knowing who the thief is and what was taken away, the needle-pointed mind can only think of step-by-step and obeying orders!

But he knows the situation.As long as he can catch the thief and get back the physical evidence, it will be a great achievement for the Zhenfu Secretary. Although a fierce fight is inevitable, but at this time he has no way out and must go forward!

The reeds and green bamboos are hybridized by the river, and there is a low wheat field on both sides. Chu Ji looked at the row of clear and wet footprints on the road, and his heart was ecstatic. I guess God helped me!

Soon, he caught up with Zimu Bridge. Zimu Bridge, as the name suggests, is two bridges, one high and one low, with the same span but different arch heights. Look, the sub-bridge is flat without fences, and the mother bridge is steep with leanings. The two bridges are not far apart, like two silvery moons, looking at each other across the water.

Wet footprints were clearly stained on the white stone slab of the sub-bridge, and he walked quickly with a knife in his hand, thinking that the thief must have crossed the bridge and fled into the wheat field on the other side, so he immediately chased after him without hesitation, his steps were strong, one step at a time Stepping on the white stone slab made an aggressive sound.

And Kuang Jian squatted on the mother bridge, lowered his breath, and reached out to rub Xiangyue's cold hands——

Time was running out, and he couldn't make any complicated tricks. He could only let Sha Xiangyue walk northward from Ziqiao, pretending to have stepped into the rice field, and then stepped backwards on footsteps. He took off his coat and wrapped him tightly, put his chin against his head, tried his best to give him a hug, then picked him up involuntarily, and quickly climbed up the mother bridge, the movement was fast enough, almost as soon as they lay down As soon as he got up, he chased to the side of the bridge. At this moment, the sound gradually approached, and Kuang Jian breathed one after another. From the extreme distance, Chu Ji's footsteps of "dong dong dong dong" could be heard clearly.

Sha Xiangyue's hands were very cold, her face was also icy cold, her whole body was as stiff as a cold stone, a few strands of hair hung wetly on her pale face, her thin eyelids trembled slightly.Kuang Jian couldn't see what he was thinking, she just thought he was afraid, but the timing was not right now, otherwise he would really like to comfort him, saying that it's no big deal, with him around, even if he finds out, it doesn't matter.

The footsteps on the sub-bridge suddenly stopped——

Kuang Jian took a breath.

But Chu Ji was not because of the discovery of them. In the not-so-wide river, ripples suddenly appeared on the surface of the water, one after another. Soon, the bridge deck suddenly shook, and the frightened old birds screamed from the wheat fields on both sides. The ground flew up, and the gate wall boomed when it came from a distance, and suddenly there was a violent vibration!

The floodgates are open.

Almost without warning, the water dragon leaped across the ditch and spewed out along the small length of the Qinhuai River. The not-so-wide river channel made rumbling noises, and the waves roared, like a group of whales jumping over the sea, overwhelming mountains and seas ——

At this moment, Sha Xiangyue stood up.

Kuang Jian was startled, and saw him shaking slightly, as if his legs were numb from squatting, or as if some useless shell had been peeled off, he stepped up to the handrail of the stone bridge without hesitation, and drank loudly. One sentence: "Store disease!"

The moonlight illuminated Sha Xiangyue's face, Chu Ji suddenly turned his head, and after seeing it clearly, he showed an expression of disbelief, "...is it you?"

The water dragon is rushing, and it has reached the bridge!

Sha Xiangyue looked down and nodded: "It's me."

The white bird flew high suddenly under the blue-purple night, and Sha Xiangyue said softly and expressionlessly, "I'll take you to see Yan Luo."
