The president's wife with one child and five treasures is the favorite of the group

Late at night.

in the hotel.

Mu Jingchen and his men are still searching for the mechanism of the secret path.

Lin Ze led people to knock on the wall for several hours, but the wall remained motionless.

The wall was not smashed open, and the people under him were exhausted and paralyzed.

Lin Ze put down his tools, wiped the sweat off his brow, and came to Mu Jingchen.

"Mr. Mu, this wall is too hard to break open with brute force."

After such a long time of tossing, Mu Jingchen also knew in his heart that if he wanted to enter the secret path, he had to find a mechanism.

"You all worked hard tonight, take them down to rest."

"Yes."

Lin Ze responded, and immediately asked his subordinates to leave for a rest.

"Mr. Mu, it's getting late, why don't you go to bed for a while?"

"You go to rest, don't worry about me."

Mu Jingchen stood in front of the spiritual table, inspecting the position of the memorial tablet, trying to find clues from it.

Lin Ze didn't leave, and said worriedly: "I'm not sleepy yet, it's important to find Madam early."

When Huangfu Liyue was mentioned, Mu Jingchen's brows tightened.

It's been so long, and Liyue doesn't know what's going on.

Thinking that she might be in danger, his mood sank to the bottom.

Lin Ze looked at his sad face and asked suspiciously: "Mr. Mu, Madam is good at skills. Ordinary people are not her opponents. How could she be tricked by a peasant woman?"

Mu Jingchen couldn't figure this out.

Even if Liyue meets Cheng Cui and the two clash, Liyue should have the upper hand.

But the current situation is that Liyue was taken away by Cheng Cui and disappeared.

"The specific situation can only be found out when Liyue is found."

Lin Ze didn't ask any more questions, and turned his attention to the spirit cards.

"Mr. Mu, have you discovered the mystery of these spirit positions?"

Mu Jingchen's face was deep, and he said slowly: "I have explored every part of this spirit table, and I have not found the mechanism to open the secret path."

"Maybe the mystery is not here, but somewhere else in this room?"

"Do not."

Mu Jingchen said firmly: "I opened this secret passage before, and the mechanism is on this spirit table, but the method of opening the mechanism was changed by Cheng Cui."

Speaking of Cheng Cui, Lin Ze was immediately puzzled.

"Mr. Mu, I sent someone to check on this Cheng Cui, and according to the people in this town, she is a peasant woman who lives here all year round and supports her family by running a hotel.

Except that her son has not been able to continue the offspring, and is often treated as a joke by the people in the town, the rest is fine, and the family life is considered smooth.

She is living a good life, how could she create a secret passage at home, and even make trouble with our wife? "

Hearing these words, Mu Jingchen suddenly remembered something.

The women in the disappearance case in Guzhen are all pregnant women. Judging from the current situation, the disappearance of these pregnant women is inseparable from Cheng Cui.

Cheng Cui kept her eyes on Liyue, probably because Liyue was pregnant.

But, why did Cheng Cui target pregnant women?

Could it be that because the Tian family has not been able to continue to have children, she is jealous and hates pregnant women, so she strikes at them?

Seeing him thinking, Lin Ze asked, "Mr. Mu, what did you think of?"

Mu Jingchen straightened out his thoughts, and said, "I was thinking that Cheng Cui must have a conspiracy against Liyue."

"Why do you say that?"

"In recent months, there have been several cases of disappearances in Guzhen, and the missing women are all pregnant women. If my guess is correct, Cheng Cui is the culprit of the disappearances."

Lin Ze was surprised: "You mean, because the wife is pregnant, she became Cheng Cui's next target?"

Mu Jingchen nodded worriedly.

Lin Ze asked: "Cheng Cui took the pregnant woman, could it be that because her own son failed to give her a grandson, so he became malicious towards other pregnant women?"

"It's possible, but if you think about it carefully, it's unlikely."

Mu Jingchen analyzed: "If it's just because of jealousy and malicious intentions, she should have restrained herself a long time ago, so she won't be chasing Liyue until now.

Besides, if she just wanted to get rid of the pregnant woman, Liyue could be dealt with in that alley, and there was no need to take Liyue away.

So I suspect that she has other purposes in arresting those pregnant women and Liyue. "

Lin Ze was confused for a moment.

"What can you do if you take so many pregnant women?"

Mu Jingchen thought for a while, and said, "Go and search every room in the hotel again to see if there are any ancient books and classics."

"Ancient books?"

"Well, it suddenly occurred to me that Cheng Cui had inquired about the month and gender of the fetus in Liyue's womb more than once. Now that I think about it, maybe she didn't simply ask. The people here are very superstitious. They catch so many pregnant women, and I'm afraid they want to do something. It's a disastrous thing."

"Okay, I'll search right away!"

Lin Ze turned and left.

Only Mu Jingchen was left in the room, and it was eerily quiet.

The candle flame on the table was shaken by the wind seeping in from the door, and even Mu Jingchen's shadow seemed to be shaking.

In such a gloomy environment, the spirit table in front of him seemed a bit intrusive.

At first glance, the black and white photos on the coffin are frightening. These people who have passed away seem to be crawling out of the coffin at any moment.

Mu Jingchen remained calm and unaffected at all, and continued to explore the secrets of the spirit table.

……

At dawn, Huangfu Liyue woke up from the cold and couldn't help but sneezed.

When I opened my eyes, it was still dark all around.

In this dark environment, she couldn't predict what time it would appear, whether it was day or night.

She could only feel that the humidity here was so heavy that she couldn't sleep anymore because of the cold.

There was silence everywhere, and she felt an inexplicable fear as she looked at the dark scene in front of her.

This feeling of not being able to see the surroundings clearly is too suffocating.

Relying on her memory, she groped to the iron fence at the door, and shouted to the outside: "Cheng Cui! Where are you! Let me out quickly!"

The sound echoed intermittently in the cave, and it traveled a long distance, but there was no response.

She didn't give up, and continued to yell: "Is there anyone! Is there anyone! Cheng Cui! What are you trying to do by locking me here!"

At this moment, Cheng Cui was having breakfast with her son and daughter-in-law at the other end of the cave.

Wu Guixiang bit her dry food, listened to the echo from afar, and said nervously, "Mom, Jingui, did you hear anything?"

Cheng Cui paused, and then said, "What's the sound? Is there something wrong with your ears?"

Tian Jingui put down the food and proved, "There is really a sound."

As he spoke, he shrank his neck in fear.

"There won't be any beasts living in this cave, Mom, I think we'd better get out of here quickly, it's too dangerous here."

"Yes, Mom, we heard strange crying last night. It's too scary here."
