Chapter 499: A Desolate Land

After Wang Sancai left the inn, he looked in the direction of the Dark Sect, and saw that there were still people coming and going in the Dark Sect, and he could see various teams coming out of it one after another, some laughing, some with firm faces, and he also saw one of them holding a small money bag and running from the Dark Sect with a big smile on his face, chasing several people who were also laughing behind him.

Then, his gaze fell on the third floor, and after staring for a moment, he withdrew his gaze and rushed in the direction of the thatched hut he remembered.

As he moved away from the Dark Sect, those boiling voices gradually subsided, and although the streets were also noisy, these voices gradually became farther away as Wang Sancai got closer to the direction of the thatched hut in the corner of Burning Stone City.

When Wang San was about to reach his destination, the surroundings had become quite quiet, and he deliberately slowed down, fearing that someone would notice him, because he had already sensed that some people were still nearby, but the direction of the thatched hut was already empty.

Where did Chen Jingzhong flee? His bedridden and blind old mother is not here?

Wang Sancai was desperate to know what was happening, and sensing that the target of the nearby people was not him, he accelerated abruptly, and soon came to the thatched hut where Chen Jingzhong and his mother lived.

The thatch on the wind-blown house rattled, and the surrounding area was empty, adding to the sense of sadness.

Wang Sancai walked over and noticed that there were all kinds of footprints around, some large and some small, which looked messy, and these untreated footprints told Wang Sancai that many people had been here before.

Wang Sancai didn't want to think about whether it was someone from the Dark Sect or someone else, so he walked to the door of the thatched hut. I found that the door of the house was open, and when I looked through the window, I saw that the simple furniture inside was still quietly placed there, and even the oil lamp was still placed in the position that Wang Sancai remembered, but the difference was that the blind old woman in bed was gone.

Wang Sancai walked into the thatched hut and carefully examined everything in the thatched hut to see if he would find any clues left by Chen Jingzhong.

Suddenly, he noticed a wine jug lying at the foot of the table, and Wang San controlled the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi to make it fly to the palm of his hand. Immediately, you can see the delicate pattern on this flask, which indicates that the wine inside must be high.

He opened the lid and looked inside. There was even a faint smell of wine, but there was nothing in it, and Wang Sancai looked at it carefully. I put it on the table.

Subsequently. Wang Sancai flipped through the two drawers of the table. found that there were no clues in it, so he suddenly slapped his forehead and muttered regretfully: "I'm really stupid too." If the clues that could be found on the bright side would have been found by the Dark Sect a long time ago. ”

Although it was Chen Jingshan and his wife who died, Chen Jingzhong was their eldest brother after all, and the Dark Sect would not know where Chen Jingzhong lived, just look at the messy footprints outside.

Therefore, Wang San realized that if he wanted to find any clues here, he must go "deeper".

He left a thousand gold coins and a note, Chen Jingzhong couldn't have seen it, and if he could buy such a pot of wine, he knew that he was using the gold coins left by Wang Sancai.

And right now, Chen Jingzhong killed his younger brother and younger siblings, an ordinary person with a blind old woman in bed is already isolated, the key is, in the case of their isolation, who can Chen Jingzhong think of?

Surely leave a clue for "the person who left the note", right?

Even if he was caught by the Dark Sect now, he would definitely think of asking for help from the beginning, and the reason why Wang San was not in a hurry to go to the Dark Sect was that several days had passed, and the matter might have already become a foregone conclusion.

However, Wang Sancai still remembered that in the inn, Fang Tong said that A-Ning was investigating this matter, and did not say that Chen Jingzhong had been arrested, because of this, Wang Sancai still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

Therefore, Wang San began to concentrate on perception with the help of Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi.

He spent half an hour carefully searching the cot, and even managed to lift it, but he didn't find any clues he was looking for.

Even the ground and the roof and walls of the thatched house, Wang Sancai did not let go, but the result still disappointed him, because he found nothing.

Could it be that the Dark Sect got it first?

Or did he leave nothing at all?

If it is said that he was found by the Dark Sect, then it is not surprising that he should already be in the hands of the Dark Sect, after all, he is an ordinary person with a blind old mother, and he will definitely not be able to do the Dark Sect.

Wang Sancai patiently came down and searched carefully again.

However, he searched everywhere he could think of, and the result was extremely disappointing.

Just as Wang San was about to leave, he suddenly noticed the oil lamp that had been placed on the table, and walked towards the oil lamp with the last glimmer of hope.

The oil lamp was black and sticky, and it looked like it had been precipitated for a long time after years, so Wang San picked it up, and immediately shook the black putty in his hand, but he didn't care about it, and began to look at the oil lamp carefully.

It is said that the oil lamp has long been eliminated, and now most households use brighter candle lamps, and looking at the appearance of the oil lamp, it must have gone through a long time, and it can be called half an antique.

The key is that Wang Sancai can see that Chen Jingzhong is very filial to his old mother, and this oil lamp is likely to be inherited by his old mother's mother. After all, even her old mother had taken her with her, and she had left with her bedding.

Although, Chen Jingzhong was likely not to take care of so much at that time, all of this was Wang Sancai's own subjective conjecture, but Wang Sancai was unwilling to give up this last opportunity.

The small oil lamp could be seen at a glance, and the oil inside had long since been depleted, and there seemed nothing wrong with the dry wick inserted there.

Suddenly, Wang Sancai's heart moved, he left him a small note before, so will he also leave a small note for himself?

After all, the size of a small note can become very small, and the Dark Sect doesn't know that he has left a note for him, and even if the people of the Dark Sect come, they will not expect that Chen Jingzhong will leave a small note.

The key is that Wang San noticed that the wick was plugged loosely, and he looked at it repeatedly upside down, and there was already a tendency to fall out.

He didn't think much about it, and gently pulled out the wick, and suddenly his eyes lit up, only to see that the wick was inserted very shallowly, and there was indeed a small note below it that had been rolled into a small note about the thickness of the wick. (To be continued......)
