different paths

"How do you prove it?" Seeing Qiu Wanzhan's slovenly appearance, the stern imperial guard frowned. (The best novel reading experience is in 【】)

Qiu Wanzhan pointed to himself: "This official, not only I can prove it, but he can also prove it." As he spoke, he suddenly looked at Jia Wu and said, "Is that right, Brother Jia?"

Jia Wuzhen was caught off guard by his words. Although he guessed that the murderer might not be the murderer, he didn't know why Qiu Wanzhan stepped forward at this time.Since I can't figure out the other party's plan for the time being, it's better to follow his words first, so Jia Wujue walked out from the crowd, nodded and said: "That's right, Xiao Ke can also testify for the guard."

Qiu Wanzhan twitched his lips in satisfaction when he heard Jia Wujue's answer, looked at the Imperial Secretary and said, "Guys, can the villain continue talking now?

Suo Luzheng nodded slightly: "Elder Qiu, please tell me."

"Yesterday's wedding banquet can be said to be a plate of treasures from mountains and brocades in the sea, and a silver pot of golden waves and jade liquid. I am addicted to alcohol, so naturally I drank a few more glasses." After a few mouthfuls, "Drinking alone is boring after all. After drinking for a while, I wanted to find someone to drink with. It would be fun to fight and order. It was just that it was late at that time, and most of the heroes at the banquet had left. They all passed out drunk on their seats, unconscious, and the only one who is still sober, I am afraid, is Brother Jia." He glanced at Jia Wujue, and continued, "We both drank for a while, but we still didn't enjoy ourselves enough. It's a pity that the banquet The wine in the hall was finished, I yelled a few words, but the servant did not come to serve the wine, but the guard came with several jars of wine. So Brother Jia and I dragged the guard to finish drinking the jars of wine , when it was dawn, the banquet was dispersed."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Monk Fa Yan and said, "If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Fa Yan, he met Brother Jia and me in the corridor in front of the banquet hall this morning."

Monk Fa Yan replied: "That's right, when the Sajia met the two of them, Dongfang had just turned pale, and the two of them were also sleepy, and they definitely didn't wait there deliberately."

Monks don't tell lies, and monk Fayan is one of the Four Great Vajras of Shaolin Temple, so his words carry more weight than others.With his words as a reference, Qiu Wanzhan's words just now are more credible.After the two greeted each other, everyone's original suspicion of Bi Ri could not help but subside a bit.

Seeing this, Lu Changqi couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

But just as his complexion was getting better, a woman's cries erupted like a torrent, and the miserable cries lingered in the stone room, even a person with a hard heart could not help but be moved by it.

"Shu'er—you died so badly—" The woman was dressed elegantly, but she just burst into tears, her noble bun fell down, and the makeup on her face was washed away by tears. She fell, showing a haggard and yellowed sick face. She was Lu Mingshu's mother and the mistress of Longyuan Villa.

"Madam Lu, my condolences..." Some people couldn't bear to see her in such pain, so they couldn't help comforting her.

Mrs. Lu, as if she hadn't heard of it, stumbled to Lu Mingshu's body, knelt down with a "plop", and murmured: "Mother told you a long time ago that he is not your beloved, why didn't you listen? Why don't you listen!" She stretched out her hand and gently stroked Lu Mingshu's swollen and pale face, "Mother has nothing at all, only you are left... Now you are gone..." Her voice It's getting smaller and smaller, and the breath is getting weaker and weaker. When the body is tilted, it seems to be about to pass out.

Just when everyone thought she was going to pass out, she suddenly stood up from the ground as if she had regained her spirits, and rushed towards Zheri with a fierce expression.Grabbing Biri's chest, she gritted her teeth and said, "It's you! You're the one who killed her! You, and you," she said, pointing at the crowd, "It's all the murderers who killed Shu'er! Damn you, damn you all!"

Seeing that she was about to rush towards the crowd with a frantic expression, Lu Changqi shouted: "Take Madam back to rest yet!"

Before he finished speaking, two black shadows jumped out from the corner, and stopped the dancing Mrs. Lu.Mrs. Lu was imprisoned by two iron arms, and she couldn't move for half a minute. She shook her head, and there seemed to be a gleam of clarity in her eyes. While struggling, she shouted at Lu Changqi: "Lu Changqi, you are not human! You killed your own daughter! Yes! you--"

She wanted to continue talking, but her stamina was lightly pressed by someone, everyone saw her head tilted, and then fell silent.

"Madam is ill again." Lu Changqi said in a deep voice, "Quickly invite Dr. Hou to come to the village to treat Madam."

"Yes." The two black shadows replied in unison, and helped Mrs. Lu, who had become a puddle of mud, down under everyone's attention.

"I made everyone laugh." Lu Changqi smiled reluctantly, "Zhuojing has been ill for a long time, and when he had an attack, his consciousness was unclear and he uttered nonsense. Please forgive me."

"Poor parents all over the world." Lin Luanpo said leisurely, "It's not easy for a daughter to grow up, but it turns from a happy event to a funeral overnight. A white-haired person sends a black-haired person. There is nothing more sad than this in the world." He sighed, and said with deep meaning, "Don't blame Madam Lu for going crazy and losing her temper. Even if they are normal people, how many people can be as calm and self-possessed as Master Lu, without being surprised?"

What he said was a compliment but a derogation, implying that Lu Changqi was cold-blooded and ruthless.The people present were not fools, so they naturally heard his implication, and the eyes that fell on Lu Changqi had changed again and again.

"Lin Shaoxia's words are wrong." Lu Changqi didn't seem to hear his sarcasm, and said in a flat tone, "It's not that Lu Mou is not without grief and pain when the little girl is lying here. If Lu is deeply saddened and confused, who can come out and uphold justice for the little girl? The top priority is not to indulge in pain blindly, but to find the murderer who killed the little girl and sacrifice her spirit in heaven."

"Lord Lu's demeanor is really extraordinary." Lin Luanpo praised without sincerity, and then said slowly, "Since Master Lu regards solving the case as the top priority, we will naturally do our best to help." The corner of his mouth He bent over, revealing a smile of unknown meaning, "When I checked the corpse just now, I got something from Tian Cangu, and I was hesitating whether to say it. Righteous."

This is extremely funny, why does Tiancangu take the word "righteousness" to heart, if that's the case, it shouldn't be called Tiancangu, but should be renamed Tianshangu.When Jia Wujue heard this, he tried his best to restrain himself, so he didn't laugh out loud.

At this moment, Lu Changqi couldn't laugh anymore.He looked at Lin Luanpo with a stiff expression, as if he was looking at an unexpected bomb that would explode at some point, blowing him to pieces.

"Lin Shaoxia has something to say, you might as well say it directly." Although Lu Changqi was extremely unwilling, he couldn't stop Lin Luanpo from speaking, so he had to go along with the flow.

"Everyone should know that there are people in my valley who are good at medicine, otherwise sect master Li wouldn't be standing here today." Lin Luanpo said, looking at Li Yan, Li Yan bowed to the sky and everyone in Cangu, that is The best proof for Lin Luanpo's words.

"So what!" Someone in the crowd shouted.

"In fact, there is no difference between a human examination and an autopsy. We can unravel the strange poison in the body of the master of the Li family, and naturally find the clues on the body of the daughter of the Lu family." The scholar in Tsing Yi is Yan Ku.

Yan Ku walked up to the crowd and said slowly: "Actually, I am not the only one who discovered the suspicious points on this corpse. Brother Jia is also responsible, so why not ask him to tell everyone one by one." After finishing speaking, he looked at Jia No bullying, just smiled.

Jia Wuhai couldn't understand Yan Ku's smile before, and now he couldn't understand it even more.He was called out again in full view, and he was only blamed for not reading the almanac when he went out, so he was dragged as a backstop many times today.It's okay for Qiu Wanzhan, after all, it's okay to have a relationship with the beggar gang, but Boss Yan appeared as Tian Cangu this time. It is difficult to walk in the rivers and lakes with a second face.

Why did Boss Yan involve him at this time?

Could it be that this is also part of the mission in the valley?

Although Jia Wuzhen was puzzled, he had no choice but to bite the bullet.

"Judging from the palms and soles of the corpse, the time of death should be after noon yesterday." After looking at Lu Mingshu's corpse again, he confirmed.

"How do you know?" Suo Luzheng said.

"If it had died twelve hours ago, most of the corpse's hair had fallen out, lips were parted, and the head and face were covered with blood all over the body, all of which were black and faded. But this corpse is only pale, and the skin on the hands and feet is wrinkled. , is the state of new death."

Jia Wuchai pointed to the nose and mouth of the corpse again: "Although it is a new death, it is definitely not within six hours. If it died within six hours, the cyanosis on the face of the corpse should not have receded, and there should be a large amount of blood on the nose and mouth. But this corpse has red spots on the face, and only a small amount of foam remains at the nose and mouth." He straightened up and said to the crowd, "From this, she should have died at noon yesterday. Between Youshi..."

"Ridiculous!" Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Lu Changqi's loud shout.I saw Lu Changqi's face was ashen, with a stern expression between his eyebrows and eyes: "Little Huangkou, don't speak nonsense! No matter what sect you come from, Mr. Lu, who is your teacher, if you talk nonsense today and insult my reputation of Longyuan Villa, you will be considered a god!" Huang Guizhou, Lu will definitely not let her go lightly!"

His fierce response surprised many people.But very soon, someone figured it out. It's no wonder that Lu Changqi was furious. It would be really strange if he accepted Jia Wuju's point of view calmly.

If it is true as Jia Wuchai said, Lu Mingshu died between noon and you yesterday, then the matter is not as simple as a murder case——

First, only Lu Changqi and Zheri can open the top level of the Jiange, and it was closed before noon yesterday. How did Lu Mingshu's body get in?

Second, for the sake of Zhuanpo Jiange to seal the pavilion, there are heavy guards in front of the pavilion, even if someone can enter the highest level, how did he put Lu Mingshu to death without anyone noticing?

Thirdly, if Lu Mingshu had died in a short period of time, then who was the newlywed that everyone saw with their own eyes at the wedding banquet?

These questions one after another, each one makes people shudder.

Especially, when everyone recalled the white and slender neck under the red hijab again, and saw the swollen Lu Mingshu in front of them, they felt a chill slowly creeping up the spine, making people shudder involuntarily. trembling.
