Chapter 18 Chapter Eighteen

Duke Di said to Tao Gan: "The real criminal has not been found yet, but I have already matched two lovers together. We must quickly come up with a plan to catch Momo." Tao Shou said: "Momo is not only playing hide-and-seek with us, it seems that his skills are even better than ours. I suspect that he is following us everywhere." Di Gongdao: "At this moment, I finally figured it out. What Momo moved in the warehouse turned out to be a wooden statue with a broken arm in the Tenth Temple of Yama, but we found the white rose that was really tortured by him. Now I am more convinced The strange scene seen from the window of the east building is true. The only thing I don’t know is where the room is. Exactly which part of the southeast tower is in it. Momo and Zhenzhi colluded and used Mrs. Bao to go through the needle and abduct White Rose When Mrs. Bao heard that Bai Meigui had repented and had shaken her determination to become a monk, they stepped up the pace of their evil conspiracy. They knew that I would leave at dawn, so they were bold and fearless. Although Zong Li and Mr. Kang wanted to rescue Bai Meigui, they were ultimately weak and mighty, and their lives might still be in danger. Momo's sword dealt with 'Miss Ouyang' like this during the play, just to intimidate him and warn him. Once they know that 'Miss Ouyang' is Bai Meigui's brother, they will definitely kill him. At that time, Bai Meigui, a weak woman, can only submit obediently and let them humiliate and ravage her. In the end, she was killed like the three women last year. Brutally killing, even destroying the corpse, before going to torture other women."

Tao Gan remained silent, blindly stroking the three long hairs on his cheeks with his fingers. Di Gong said again: "Otherwise, we will go to Sun Tianshi now. Ask him for a jade decree, gather all the Taoists, teachers, deacons, and miscellaneous servants in the hall, and let Mr. Kang and Zong Li identify each other. .In this way, Momo, who has become a Taoist priest, may be caught in public." Tao Gan hesitated and said: "I'm afraid that Momo has already fled before the master's jade decree is received. At this moment, the sky is about to dawn, and the heavy rain has passed. Moreover, the gates of Chaoyun Temple are mixed. The palace is deep, and he hides alone, so what about you?" Can you find it? Let’s say he’s hiding in the room where he moved the statue of the one-armed woman, for example, and there’s nothing you can do.”

Di Gong nodded frequently and sighed again and again. Tao Gan said again: "I only regret that we don't have a simple diagram of Chaoyun Guan, otherwise, we can at least roughly guess where Mrs. Bao went with the white rose." "A sketch of the Chaoyun Temple? Sun Tianshi showed me one, which he drew with his own hands. It's a pity that it is a rough diagram of halls, pavilions, and courtyards. Yes, I remembered that there are still pictures in his sketch. It draws a striking Yin Yang Tai Chi symbol." Duke Di suddenly thought of something, raised his eyebrows and said, "Tao Gan, I want to go to Ziwei Pavilion of Tianshi Sun once, and you will wait for me at the top of the stairs in the main hall."

Di Gong ran up to Ziwei Pavilion in one breath, knocked on the door, but did not answer.He pushed hard, the door was unlocked, and he walked in.The outer study was half-lit and half-dark, and the candles were about to burn out.Di Gong knocked on the door of the inner bedroom again, but still no one answered. He pushed hard, but it was locked. Di Gong turned around and walked to the banner with the sketch map of Chaoyun Temple, carefully looked at the Yin-Yang Tai Chi symbol, and thought for a while.He finally remembered! He hurried out of the Ziwei Pavilion and went down to the main hall, but he didn't see Tao Gan, so he had to walk towards the warehouse with a lantern in hand.

The door of the warehouse was ajar, and Di Gong walked in with a lantern.There was no change in the warehouse from when he came just now.The two doors of the large cabinet in the corner were open, and he approached it, shining a lantern on the two golden dragons on the back wall of the cabinet.The Yin-Yang and Tai Chi symbols between one or two golden dragons are indeed divided horizontally in black and white! Di Gong found that there is also a small circle in each of the two halves of the symbol, which is what Sun Tianshi said, "There is yang in yin, and yin in yang".Duke Dee saw that the two small circles turned out to be two small holes passing through the back wall.He tapped the symbol with his finger, and it turned out to be an iron disc. — There is a thin gap between the disc and the surrounding wooden boards.

As if enlightened, Duke Di hurriedly pulled out two silver needles from the bun, inserted them into the two small round holes respectively, and turned the disc to the left, but the disc did not move at all.He turned the dial to the right again, and the disc was turned.He turned nine times in a row, and the back wall of the cabinet moved a crack to the left.He gently pushed the back wall to the left, revealing a narrow passage more than two feet wide.Sure enough, it was a secret door, and the door was undoubtedly a secret room. Di Gong stabbed lightly, turned right and saw a small door within a few steps.The small door was open, and inside hung a dusty oil lamp.Under the dim light, a broad-chested and broad-shouldered man was wiping a bamboo couch against the wall with a warm cloth.The ground was covered with blood, and a kitchen knife was thrown in a pool of blood.
