Han Leng is dead.
He died peacefully, and even after he died, he still had a smile on his face.
Seeing his smile, Chen Yutian and Bai Fan couldn't help but sigh.
Anyone with a discerning eye could see that his last act of becoming a disciple was to find a home for Han Tong.
After all, once he leaves, Han Tong will no longer have any relatives to rely on.
That's why he thought of this method of apprenticeship.
Using the master-disciple relationship to let Gongsun raise her on her behalf was the last thing he could do for his daughter before he died.
Gongsun also understands this.
And Han Tong looked at his father's corpse that died with a smile, and still can't accept such a result.
Obviously during dinner, my father was still happily eating with me, why now...
Why is this happening...
She kept repeating this question while muttering to herself, but no one could tell her the answer to this question.
Tears blurred her eyes again.
She is fourteen years old and is no longer a child.
Moreover, in these years, she followed her father and saw too many corpses and too many people crying in front of the corpses.
Therefore, she knew from the beginning that Han Leng's words to coax her were false.
But she can't show it!
She didn't want to make her father sad in his last moments.
She wanted her father to leave happily just like when her mother left.
Now, she did it.
But why are you so sad?
As her tears blurred, her eyes flashed to those people she had seen in the county government, crying bitterly next to the corpses of relatives and friends.
It turns out that I am just like them at this moment!
It turns out that this is what it feels like to lose a loved one!
"Daddy..." She finally couldn't help it, lying on Han Leng's body and crying bitterly.
Everyone in the room sighed.
Lin Tao stood behind her gently and looked at her without saying a word.
As for Han Tong, he, like the adults in the room, chose not to persuade her.
Although he is young, he has traveled around the world with his father since he was a child and has learned a lot.
Therefore, he knew that at this time, it was best not to persuade.
The best way is to let her cry until she has completely vented her emotions, and then try to persuade her.
Otherwise, it will have the opposite effect.
This truth was told to him by his father when he was traveling in the world.
At that time, they happened to encounter the wife of one of their father's friends who passed away. At that time, the father's friend was very sad and lay on the body crying sadly.
As his best friend, his father just stood aside and watched calmly.
At that time, he asked his father, "Why don't you go and persuade him? Look how sad he is crying..."
At that time, Lin Dao looked at him and asked, "Why do you want to persuade him?"
Lin Tao was stunned at that time.
"He cried so sadly, daddy, you are his best friend."
Lin Dao smiled, and then told him something that he would remember forever.
"Yeah, it's just because I'm his best friend that I can't persuade him even more."
"Why?"
"Because there is a saying that goes well. A man will not shed tears easily, but he has not yet reached the sad point. Because of this sentence, we men, no matter how great the difficulties or how great the failure, we can hold back the tears, as long as we Save blood, but don’t shed tears! However, don’t forget that there is a second half to this sentence, ‘It’s just that you haven’t reached the sad point yet’. In other words, a man can shed tears when he is extremely sad.”
"And now he has lost his only partner in this world. This is a very sad thing. If he can't cry at this time, then when can it? In other words, if you see a person, He obviously lost a loved one, but he didn’t shed a single tear in front of his loved ones. What do you think of this person?”
Lin Tao thought about it seriously and shook his head, "I think this person is so ruthless!"
"That's right. Since a person without tears makes people feel heartless, then why don't you let him cry? Besides, now is the saddest time for him, and it is also the time when he should use tears to vent his emotions. If I It's not what a friend should do to persuade him not to cry at this time. You can persuade him, but it must be effective after he vents. Do you understand?"
"Yeah, daddy, I understand."
Looking at Han Tong in front of him, Lin Tao nodded vigorously in his heart.
Chen Yutian also looked at Han Tong and sighed.
However, just when he looked away from Han Tong, he accidentally saw a strange phenomenon.
Then, the sparkle in his eyes flashed away, and he looked at Han Leng's right hand.
All four fingers on his right hand were folded together, leaving only one index finger pointing at the ground.
"This is..." Seeing this gesture, an idea suddenly flashed in his mind!
"Could it be..." Thinking of the last two words Han Leng left before his death, he thought of something.
"Is there... something underneath here?" Chen Yutian stared at the floor tiles under his feet and pondered.
At this moment, Huo Yuanji and Lin Dao came back.
Seeing Han Tong crying sadly on his father's body, the two could only sigh helplessly.
Chen Yutian called the two of them out of the room and asked, "She ran away again?"
Huo Yuanji nodded apologetically, "Sorry, Brother Chen, I was careless this time. However, speaking of it, the flowers and butterflies this time are a bit strange."
"Oh? What's weird?" Chen Yutian asked.
Huo Yuanji recounted the battle that had just occurred in the yard in detail. Chen Yutian couldn't help but be surprised when he heard that Hua Die suddenly stopped.
"You mean... that move of his could clearly kill you, but he deliberately let his hand stop to spare your life?"
"Although I really don't want to admit it, it is true." Huo Yuanji nodded.
After hearing this, Chen Yutian suddenly smiled happily.
"I see...it seems like this Butterfly is familiar with you..."
"How could I be familiar with such a person...Brother Chen, please stop teasing me." Huo Yuanji shook his head.
But Chen Yutian shook his head solemnly and said, "No, I'm not joking. Think about it, if Huadie stopped, is there any suspicion of deliberately letting you go?"
Huo Yuanji thought for a while and nodded, "I can't be completely sure whether he really has it, but according to my guess, he should have it."
"In that case, what kind of person do you think would let you go in this kind of life and death battle?" Chen Yutian asked again.
"Friends or relatives..." Huo Yuanji said with some uncertainty.
"It must be someone you know. No one will hold back on a stranger." Chen Yutian said.
Huo Yuanji nodded.
Indeed, if they are strangers, then there is absolutely no reason to let themselves go, especially in this kind of obviously life-and-death battle.
However, if he is really someone he knows well, then why do he have no impression of this person?
"Bai Xiushui said that Huadie is a woman. Do you think there is any woman you know who is similar to her?" Chen Yutian reminded.
Huo Yuanji shook his head helplessly.
"You also know that I have friends all over the world. Although I don't remember too many people's names, there are too many friends in the world who have drank with me, including many women. How can I remember them? "
Chen Yutian was helpless.
"Then there's no other way..."
"That's all, the Butterfly matter won't be solved in an instant. The most urgent task is to see what kind of clues Han Leng left us first to see what kind of clues there are in it!"
Hearing this, Huo Yuanji was surprised, "Oh? Did he leave a reminder before he died?"
Chen Yutian pointed to the right hand of Han Leng's corpse.
Seeing the posture of that right hand, Huo Yuanji and Lin Dao's eyes suddenly flashed!
"Could it be that...he is saying there is a problem under the ground?" Huo Yuanji touched his chin and thought for a while before guessing.
Chen Yutian nodded, "It should be right. Before he died, he once said two words to me. Here..."
"Here... combined with his gesture, he probably wants to tell us that there is something weird underground!!"
Lin Dao spoke rarely.
"This matter is quite simple. We will move the body away later and we will find out after a closer inspection."
After a stick of incense.
Han Tong finally got tired of crying and fell asleep on Han Leng's cold body.
When Lin Tao went to cover her with clothes, he vaguely heard her talking in her sleep: "Dad, Tongtong doesn't want you to leave..."
Everyone sighed again.
Gongsun carried his new student to the bed aside, while Huo Yuanji and Lin Dao worked together to move Han Leng's body away from the place.
Chen Yutian looked at the floor tiles that Han Leng pointed at before he died and frowned.
The next moment, he suddenly took out his palm and directly pried the floor tile up from the ground.
However, there was nothing under the floor tiles.
Looking at the earth-colored ground exposed under the floor tiles, Chen Yutian frowned again.
How could it not be? Could it be that that gesture did not specifically refer to a certain floor tile, but a general reference?
If so, does that mean there may be secrets hidden under every floor tile?
Looking at the densely packed floor tiles in the room, Chen Yutian was slightly speechless.
There are so many bricks to be turned over one by one. How long will it take to turn them over?
After thinking for a long time, he decided to come back tomorrow.
After all, it's already late, and when we come tomorrow, we can just bring the two elite Dragon Guards that the emperor appointed during the patrol to help.
After all, these guys are really too busy these days.
They were obviously escorting them on their patrol, but after arriving in Youzhou, I and others were busy checking this and that every day, but these guys were very relaxed.
However, this is also my own fault.
After all, in the past, I only had these friends around me to help me when investigating cases. Now, although I have two more than fifty guards at my disposal, I am still used to mobilizing these friends who used to follow me when investigating cases.
This is a bad habit and needs to be changed!
Well, it must be changed!
…
The next day.
When Chen Yutian, Gongsun and Huo Yuanji brought the dragon guards to Han Leng's house, they saw a scene that shocked them beyond measure!
I saw that the room that was orderly last night was now a mess.
The tables, chairs, beds, cabinets, and bookshelves were almost all overturned on the ground at this moment. The books on the bookshelves were scattered everywhere. The only tea set on the table was also smashed to pieces, with debris everywhere.
What is even more shocking is that almost all the floor tiles in the entire house have been turned over, and even the ground under the floor tiles has been dug out one after another.
This is simply digging three feet into the ground!
It's simply more terrifying than looting!
When Chen Yutian saw this scene, his heart suddenly sank!
"No, is it possible that someone got there first?"
Gongsun and Huo Yuanji also felt chilled. It would be really bad if the other party really got there first!
Accompanied by Long Wei, the three of them searched around the house.
But in the end, nothing was found.
After all, this place has been dug up three feet. If there is anything hidden underground, it may have been taken away by those who looted the place.
Chen Yutian's face became increasingly gloomy.
He also felt that something was wrong.
Maybe, the things have really been taken away...
But at this moment, his eyes suddenly flashed, and a few words that Han Leng said before he was assassinated last night came to mind.
"Yes, I know, but I can't tell you. I know his methods very well. Once I say his name, I will die immediately..."
"What he wanted to say should be fatal... In other words, he already knew at that time that if he revealed the identity of the man behind the scenes, he would be killed... But he didn't expect that he hadn't said it yet. Once the identity of that person was revealed, he was killed first..."
"So since he knows that the other party will kill him at any time, is it possible for him to hide such an important thing in his home?"
He pondered for a moment and then shook his head.
"It shouldn't be possible! He should know that if he dies, his home will definitely be the first target to be searched."
"So where will things be?"
"Do those two words and that gesture he left last night have other meanings?"
Chen Yutian held his chin with one hand and began to think deeply.
At this moment, the place where he was standing was exactly where Han Leng's body fell last night!
"The position where the body fell...here...the position of the body..." Chen Yutian murmured, and his mind kept repeating the scene of Han Leng's body falling to the ground, the two words he said before he died, and That weird gesture on his right hand.
"Wait a minute, could it be that..."
As if he thought of something, he suddenly squatted down and carefully looked at the place where the corpse had been lying.
Suddenly, a bright light flashed in his eyes, and his whole person became excited!
"So that's it, that's it, I finally understand..."
"If I guessed correctly, that thing should still be in that place right now!"
He smiled, stood up, and issued orders to the dragon guards in the room.
"Let's go to the state government office!! I already know where that thing is hidden!"
…
You might as well take a guess as to why Chenchen and the others are going to the state government office, right?
