Chapter 267 The Murderer's Footsteps
"Can't they swim? They should be able to swim ashore."
Fat Kui asked immediately.
"I'm also quite strange, my father and my grandfather can swim, but after they jumped into the river, they sank directly and never swam up again, as if someone below grabbed their legs and kept pulling them down , they may all be dead."
When Yan Xiao spoke, she looked very sad and almost cried.
Sun Guangmin observed the other party's demeanor, and it didn't look like he was pretending.
However, this made Sun Guangmin feel that the development of the situation is more complicated. Before that, it was only the strange incident of Li Sandao's family, but now there is the strange incident of Yan Xiao. The two incidents seem to have nothing to do with each other, but there may be some kind of connection.
"Recall again, what else happened at that time?" Xiao Di asked again.
"Well, let me think about it." Yan Xiao raised her head and was trying to remember, before she spoke after a while, "By the way, before I jumped into the river, my grandfather said a word, telling me to escape quickly, never Don't come in."
"That's because your grandfather had a premonition of danger, so he told you to leave quickly. You can take us to the scene to have a look." Xiaodi said suddenly.
"Let me go. There are so many of you, you are not afraid that I will run away. What I said is true. I am not a murderer. Something happened to my family. The young marshal of the Northern Army wants to help me."
Yan Xiao made the request very sincerely.
Sun Guangmin nodded: "Well, let go."
After receiving the order, General Xiang untied the rope from Yan Xiao's body.
Next, Yan Xiao led the crowd to the lower reaches of the underground river, and when they came to a place, Yan Xiao stopped and said, "It's over there, that's where my father and my grandfather jumped off just now. The raft has drifted away."
Sun Guangmin looked over there, the river was very fast, if someone fell, it would be easy to be washed away by the river.
"I can believe your words for a while, but if we find out that you have lied later, then we will not spare you lightly."
Sun Guangmin said something in a calm tone, which made Yan Xiao nod repeatedly: "I dare not lie to you, how about you accompany me to go downstream and find my father and my grandfather."
Sun Guangmin thought about it for a while, thinking that he would go inside to find the murderer anyway, and it would be okay to help him by the way, maybe the two bizarre incidents were done by the same murderer, and that murderer might have been hiding in the river before.
"Well, let's go."
Yan Xiao was very happy. She walked in the front and walked downstream along the bank of the underground river.
General Xiang and General Xiao led more than a dozen ghost soldiers of paper figurines to follow behind Yan Xiao to prevent the other party from escaping. Sun Guangmin and the Four Ghosts of Yinshan also followed, and a company of soldiers was at the end of the crowd.
The people walked all the way forward, the terrain was getting lower and lower, and the sound of the river was very loud, which had already covered up the sound of everyone's footsteps.
Gao Laosan was beside Sun Guangmin, and suddenly said softly: "Young commander, I suspect that the tomb robber is the murderer, we must be careful not to be deceived by him, he may lead us into a trap."
After listening, Sun Guangmin nodded immediately: "Well, I know, I will be careful in the future."
Everyone stopped talking and followed Yan Xiao to the lower reaches of the river. Sun Guangmin kept shining a flashlight into the river beside him, while Yan Xiao also kept looking there, shouting from time to time.
"Father, grandpa, are you there? Please call back."
Yan Xiao yelled three times during the subsequent walk, but no one responded each time.
Xiao Di couldn't help but asked, "You said just now that there were cries in the river, what kind of cries were those? Why are there no more cries now?"
"It was indeed there just now. It was only heard in the middle of the river. The crying sound was very soft. It seemed to be the cry of a woman or a child. Anyway, the sound was quite low, so I couldn't hear it clearly."
As soon as Yan Xiao's voice fell, Ruhua continued: "I've heard that the water ghost finds a substitute, maybe that cry is the sound of the dead soul in the river, and Yan Xiao's two elders were used as substitutes, so she jumped off In the river."
Everyone nodded after hearing this, and they all felt that there was such a possibility. Yan Xiao asked very anxiously: "Then what about my father and my grandfather? Are they unable to come back?"
"Look, there is a door there."
General Xiang pointed to the stone wall on the left, and suddenly said to everyone.
Everyone left the river bank and walked over together, and saw a secret door appeared on the stone wall.
At the door of the secret door, the corpses of several mice appeared on the ground. Sun Guangmin took a flashlight to illuminate them, only to find that these mice, like the crows that appeared before, had all turned into mummies.
In addition, there were purple worms crawling on the mummy of the mouse. Sun Guangmin thought about it for a while and felt that these purple worms were important clues.
This kind of bug should be related to the murderer. Since the bug appeared here, it also exposed the murderer's footprints. The murderer should have walked into this secret door
