If he hadn't entered the village, he wouldn't have expected that all the big houses in ancient times would have basements and underground passages. Even if he hadn't entered the village to ask, Chen Peng would have definitely appeared in front of him before he entered the courtyard in the northeast corner.
Then, Chen Peng would have brought him into Carpenter Chen's house and given him a fake handwritten picture book before leading him to the courtyard in the northeast corner. Even if he hadn't believed the handwritten picture book, there would still be water with sleeping pills waiting for him.
If he hadn't fallen for it, then the person who had set up this trap would have just lost a person they had hired for a thousand yuan.
However, it had successfully delayed him for quite some time. He had come to the village but hadn't found anything, so he had to return to Cuicheng and start looking again.
Lu Xingzhi suddenly remembered that the old man under the jujube tree had said that there had been a lot of people coming to ask about Cuicheng recently. He had thought that it was Chen Feitang's army that had come to ask about it, but now that he thought about it, the fake Zhuang Chengshan's people should have also come to ask about it.
Therefore, when the fake Zhuang Chengshan's people came to the village, the first house was a blind old man, followed by Carpenter Chen and his son. Unfortunately, the father and son's neighbors had moved to the county a long time ago. Therefore, Lu Xingzhi wouldn't have found out about the fake Chen Peng even if he had come to the village.
As the news had been sent through the army, the police came very quickly. Lu Xingzhi watched as the police took Carpenter Chen's corpse out of the vegetable field. The corpse had already decomposed to a certain extent, and the onlookers vomited at the sight.
Then, he watched as the villagers nearby confirmed that the fake Chen Peng was the Gambler from the neighboring village. Only then did he leave the courtyard.
The Gambler really didn't know how Carpenter Chen had died, nor did he know where Carpenter Chen's son was.
Although Lu Xingzhi knew that Carpenter Chen's son might not have escaped death, he still hoped that Carpenter Chen's son might have really gone out and escaped death.
After Lu Xingzhi left the courtyard, because he was wearing a military uniform, many children were not allowed to enter the Chen family's courtyard. When they saw Lu Xingzhi, they excitedly called out to him, "Uncle People's Liberation Army."
In the child's heart, the People's Liberation Army uncle in the green military uniform was as sacred and great as the police uncle.
Lu Xingzhi felt as though a ray of sunshine had appeared in his heart when he heard her call him Uncle of the People's Liberation Army.
After leaving the village, Lu Xingzhi didn't come out empty-handed. At least he knew where the entrance to the underground tunnel was. Back in Cuicheng, Lu Xingzhi looked at the time on his watch. Without wasting any more time, he found the entrance according to the address on the sketchbook.
The exit on the sketchbook was fake, but the entrance was real.
The entrance was in the side room of an inconspicuous courtyard. There were no traces of recent human activity in the courtyard, so those people probably didn't enter from the entrance, but from the exit.
The path from the exit to the courtyard in the northeast corner was definitely not where Chen Xuyao was hiding, because the Gambler would have to pass through that path and wait for him at the courtyard in the northeast corner.
