Chapter 1654 There's something wrong with this courtyard.
A murder case occurred there; is it haunted?
Meng Yunzheng looked up at the high wall in front of him, then looked at Meng Qi, "Then why are you so familiar with it?"
Meng Qi chuckled awkwardly, "I didn't know before. I accidentally ran in here to hide once when I skipped school. I only found out after my mother told me about it when I got back, and I haven't dared to come here since."
Of course, the main reason is that this place is quite far from the Meng family. If you go to the left from this courtyard, you'll almost reach the city gate. The Meng family is located in a relatively central part of the county town, so he wouldn't go here unless there's a reason.
In this urgent situation, we must act expediently and disregard rumors of ghosts and such.
Meng Qi began to figure out how to break the lock on the small door. The lock was quite old, covered in rust, and it wouldn't be easy to open.
Seeing that he had been looking at it for a long time without knowing how to proceed, Meng Yunzheng pushed him back, pulled out a dagger, and pried off the pull ring.
Meng Qi, "..."
"Let's go."
Meng Qi nodded quickly, and the three of them went through the small door one after another.
This place had clearly been deserted for a long time; Meng Qi, who was leading the way, was covered in cobwebs as soon as he entered.
He quickly took it away and tore it off. Shu Yu came in last, and apart from a little dust, she was in much better condition.
The weeds inside are very tall, and the result of no one taking care of them is that they block out most of the view.
"Where is the back door?" Meng Yunzheng asked.
Meng Qi quickly pointed to the left, "Go that way, just go through this big courtyard."
He led the way, but after only a few steps, Meng Yunzheng suddenly grabbed him.
Meng Qi suddenly turned his head. "What's wrong?"
"No need to go."
Meng Qi was puzzled. "What do you mean?"
Meng Yunzheng walked towards the side corridor and saw a scratch on a pillar in the corridor.
The scratch is not complicated; it's just a slight angled glance with a dot next to it.
It's unremarkable, but anyone who knows it can spot it immediately.
It just so happens that Meng Yunzheng is the person I know.
“This is a mark my father left me,” he said. “I saw the same mark on the street where we were looking for someone, but I didn’t say anything because someone was watching. I originally planned to go back to that street and follow the mark, but I didn’t expect to find it in this courtyard as well. It seems there’s something wrong with this courtyard.”
Over the past ten years, Meng Yunzheng and Meng Pei have used many methods and means to avoid Gongqiu.
Only the father and son knew about such markings. The two had a tacit understanding, and Meng Pei had probably guessed that Meng Yunzheng would come to Chenggu County.
After all, he had been paying close attention to the situation here, and if he had known that Chenggu County was the initial site of the incident, he would definitely not have stood idly by.
It's always good to mark the spot whenever he comes.
Meng Qi's eyes lit up slightly. "So, my father and uncle might be here? Then let's hurry and go find them..."
"Shh." Meng Yunzheng suddenly stopped him, his expression changing slightly, and he abruptly turned his head away.
Then they saw a man standing not far behind them, staring at them with wide eyes.
The next moment, he suddenly took out a whistle and was about to blow it.
Meng Qi was shocked. Without saying a word, Shu Yu raised his hand and pressed the hidden arrow on his wrist.
With a 'whoosh', the hidden arrow pierced the man's arm, and he fell to the ground in pain.
The man cried out in pain. Without the whistle, he opened his mouth to shout, but it was too late. Meng Yunzheng quickly approached him, and with a swift movement, struck him, knocking him unconscious to the ground.
