The lantern under the corridor had already been lit, and Yu Siyi was thinking about things while walking, tapping his chin with one finger. He thought about Lu Tong's fatal injury, and an image flashed in his mind. Bei covered him from behind, and Lu Tong must have fought back immediately. The dagger slipped into his hand and stabbed back at the murderer. Struggling weakly after being drugged, he finally slowly closed his eyes...

Yu Siyi still felt a little weird, he stopped and compared the movements of covering someone with his right hand and stabbing someone with his left hand, which felt very awkward.He compared his hands back and forth again, and it was much smoother.Why did that man kill with his left hand?Obviously the right hand is much smoother!No, Yu Siyi raised his head at once. Facing a person with extremely high martial arts skills like Lu Tong, it was impossible for the other party to take it lightly. It's not that that person doesn't use his right hand, but that he is left-handed himself.

His eyes lit up, and Yu Siyi thought about it.

Leng Lianyue had been standing opposite Yu Siyi for a while, watching the man chattering around and chanting words, her eyes became more and more strange.

Yu Siyi looked up and saw Leng Lianyue, and quickly put down her hands, suddenly said, "Palace Master Leng, how long have you been here?"

Leng Lianyue approached, "Soon, I just happened to see you there talking to yourself and making comparisons... that's all."

Yu Siyi: "..."

The Cuizhu Villa became extremely quiet at night, there were nearly half more guards, and those sects that hadn't left were even more regretful, why didn't they leave before dawn like the Yun family, so that they wouldn't be unable to leave as much as they want to do now.

Chu Yuqing was walking down the mountain, her complexion was not very good, the evening wind was a bit cold, even blowing on her body could not dispel the unhappiness in her heart.When he came back that day, he was so busy that he finally got some free time at night to meet Nangong Jinqiao with great interest, but the two of them quarreled before they could say a few words, and they broke up unhappy!Although Ran was unhappy, he decided to go down the mountain to pick out something for Nangong Jinqiao to coax.

Feeling depressed, he looked at so many guards with disdain, thinking that they were too weak.

The road near the foot of the mountain is more winding, and the guards are separated a little far away. There is no torch in the middle to illuminate the darkness. When Chu Yuqing passed a corner, he suddenly heard rustling sounds from the grass next to him. gasps.

With a sudden heartbeat, Chu Yuqing shouted: "Who?"

There was another weak whimper from the grass, Chu Yuqing's heart beat faster, he put his hand on the hilt of the sword and walked forward slowly, he didn't know why he wanted to check, he obviously didn't want to, but he seemed to be bewitched He walked over step by step, pulled up the knee-high weeds, and a figure lying on the ground appeared in front of his eyes.

How could there be someone here?Still a woman.

The doubts in Chu Yuqing's heart flashed away, and she went forward and squatted down in front of the person's nose to try it out. Her breath was weak, and the person had already passed out. The little movement she made just now probably exhausted her last strength.He pulled up one of the man's arms and pushed it back onto his back. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a trace of crawling on the ground extending far away. Before he had time to think about it, he went down the mountain to find a doctor with his back on his back.

Yu Siyi told a few people about her discovery, and asked everyone to send someone to pay attention to the left-handed people in the villa. Nangong Yu'er said that she understood and asked her confidant to handle the matter.

After the matter was settled, Yu Siyi was about to leave. Nangong Yu'er opened her mouth to leave the person behind. Yu Siyi sat down again and waited for her to speak. She took a sip of tea and put down the cup before looking at Yu Siyi, "I heard Have you found the man in black?"

"Speaking of this..." Yu Siyi frowned, took out the drawing paper from her arms and handed it to Nangong Yu'er, "There are only portraits. Actually, I don't really want you to know about it."

Nangong Yu'er knew Yu Siyi's concerns, "Are you afraid that I will be emotional? Don't worry, I have waited for more than ten years, and I will not startle the snake."

Now that Nangong Yu'er has said that, Yu Siyi can't say anything more, "After we got this portrait, we also went to the thatched hut according to the location Xie Yang said, and it was already empty." They only found the two swords that were stolen from them, and nothing else. I don't know how the man lived here, or this is just a foothold that he deliberately exposed.The fact that the man left the sword proved that he didn't really want the two swords at all, so what's the point of him asking Xie Yang to steal the sword?

Nangong Yu'er opened the drawing paper and took a look, but she didn't recognize it. She looked at it for a while and returned it to Yu Siyi without saying anything.Yu Siyi took it and reminded: "Vendor Master, there is only a little clue about Lu Tong's matter now. I will ask someone to investigate this person. The owner will wait for good news."

Nangong Yu'er smiled, "Of course I can trust Mr. Yu." Now Lu Tong's affairs should be put first. There are many and mixed people coming to the Chaohua Festival this time. Finding this murderer is like finding a needle in a haystack. Thinking about her Just a headache.Don't say that she can't afford to offend the Lu family, I'm afraid... because of this incident, Cuizhu Villa will become the target of public criticism in the Jianghu!

Shao Huaiyu went to two places to check the scene. As soon as he entered the villa from the side, he saw several disciples from other sects beating a person. He frowned, and immediately stepped forward to stop him, "Stop!"

Seeing Shao Huaiyu, those disciples immediately changed from a vicious expression to a flattering one, "Young Master Shao, why are you here?"

"Hey, yes, Mr. Shao, we are here to settle some personal matters, and we will be done right away, so we won't delay you."

Shao Huaiyu said: "Personal business?" As he said that, he looked down at the man on the ground. The man was wearing the costume of the servant of Cuizhu Villa. That back figure looked familiar, he walked around those disciples, walked up to that person and squatted down | Turned around and looked, "Why is it you?"

Zhou Min's temples were throbbing in pain, and his ears were buzzing. Those people probably had some concerns and didn't beat him to pieces, but they all picked places that were painful and wouldn't kill people. He was almost unconscious, and he didn't know when the beating stopped. When he heard someone talking to him, he thought it was those people.

Shao Huaiyu continued: "I said, why do you get beaten every time I see you? What's the reason this time?"

It was only then that Zhou Min believed that someone was really talking to him. He looked up with difficulty, his eyes were blurred and he couldn't see clearly. He opened his mouth, and before he could speak, the person fell into darkness and passed out.

When the people nearby heard Shao Huaiyu's question, they screamed inwardly. They didn't expect such a servant to know Shao Huaiyu. They hurriedly told each other what happened just now, which probably meant that it was Zhou's bad manners. It was he who charged them first, so they had no choice but to clean up the people, but they didn't hit hard, because he was too weak and they didn't hit them a few times.

Shao Huaiyu was startled when he saw someone fainted, and quickly touched Zhou Min's veins to feel it. He was relieved when he didn't find any serious problems. He took Zhou Min's hand and put it on his shoulder, and then swept away Glancing at those people, there was no expression on their faces, and they didn't dare to show their anger. Someone was about to speak, but was pinched by the partner next to him from behind and then closed his mouth.

Shao Huaiyu didn't bother to watch their behavior, so he took them away.

Zhou Min opened his eyes, his eyes were blank, the pain in his body finally awakened his mind, he sat up slowly on the bed, the smell of medicine radiated from his body, he looked around and found that it was not the servant's room where he lived.

The door was opened from the outside, Shao Huaiyu came in with some food and saw that Zhou Min was already awake, "Are you awake?" He put the food plate in his hand on the table and went to the bedside to call for someone to eat.

Zhou Min didn't know why he saw Shao Huaiyu here, and looked at him very puzzled. Seeing Zhou Min's eyes, Shao Huaiyu explained, "When I was passing by yesterday, I saw you being bullied, so I brought you back."

Zhou Min finally understood that Shao Huaiyu had saved him again, and thanked him with a hoarse voice.

Shao Huaiyu frowned, "Stop talking, get up and eat something, then drink the medicine."

Zhou Min let out a "hmm" and lifted the quilt out of bed. Maybe the medicine he had used was very good. Although his body was in pain, it didn't affect his actions.

Shao Huaiyu looked at Zhou Min eating very politely, and asked him, "Why are you in the villa? Did something happen yesterday?"

Zhou Min put down the spoon, lowered his eyes slightly to look at the steaming porridge in the bowl, and said, "The wages in the village are relatively high, so I came here when I saw handymen. As for yesterday...it's nothing."

Since Zhou Min didn't want to say it, Shao Huaiyu didn't force it. He also understood that Zhou Min's beating was a fact, no matter whether those people were right or wrong.

After eating, someone came in with medicine, Shao Huaiyu saw that Zhou Min swallowed the medicine without blinking, he felt bitter for him, Zhou Min saw the expression on Shao Huaiyu's face, smiled lightly, and said, "Just drink the medicine, It's not about killing me!"

Shao Huaiyu thought that Zhou Min must have suffered a lot.

When they rescued Zhou Min before, they didn't communicate much. This short time together this morning made Shao Huaiyu feel a kind of bearing, or integrity, in Zhou Min.Such a person should not be just a servant!

Shao Huaiyu said, "Do you want to come to Shao's house to do something?" After speaking, she was stunned.

Zhou Min was also taken aback. Seeing Shao Huaiyu finished speaking, he lowered his eyes and frowned. He realized that the other party was probably impulsive. He was just about to thank the other party for his kindness, when Shao Huaiyu suddenly stretched his eyebrows and said, "I think it's actually Very good, I think you are also a talented person, Shao is afraid that you will be wronged by letting you work in Shao's house."

Hearing Shao Huaiyu say "Mr.", Zhou Min was a little overwhelmed. He understood that the other party was a show of favor, and he really appreciated his talent instead of giving him a ration.He was hesitant on the face, and Shao Huaiyu didn't force it, "We will stay here for a short time because of Brother Lu's affairs, you can follow Uncle Yuan first, there won't be too many things, you can get used to it first, and think about it slowly Not too late."

"Uncle Yuan?"

"Well. Uncle Yuan is the elder of our family. He is familiar with all family affairs. He is a stubborn old man."

Shao Huaiyu raised his voice and called out, "Uncle Yuan."

Jiang Yuan pushed the door open and came in, glanced at Zhou Min out of the corner of his eye, with no expression on his face.

When Zhou Min saw Uncle Yuan, he felt that Shao Huaiyu's calling him an old man was too exaggerated. Seeing that Uncle Yuan was only forty, he was not old enough.

Uncle Yuan placed his left hand on his right and slightly bent down towards Shao Huaiyu, saying respectfully, "What do you want, young master?"

Shao Huaiyu compared to Zhou Min, "This is Zhou Min, I hope Uncle Yuan can take care of him, I believe he can learn a lot from you old man."

Uncle Yuan said: "The young master is absurdly praised. The young master told me that I should try my best."

Zhou Min stood up and bowed to Uncle Yuan, "Please trouble Uncle Yuan."

Hearing Zhou Min's address, Uncle Yuan glanced at Shao Huaiyu, seeing that he didn't respond, he said "No trouble" and backed away.

After knowing that the murderer might be left-handed, Yu Siyi asked the three sisters to secretly pay attention to who in the villa had this habit. It is also possible that the murderer would pretend to be right-handed, but there will always be cheating.

Xiang Wenliu asked Yu Siyi: "Why don't you ask Xiao Xu if he knows anything?!"

Yu Siyi put down the paper in his hand, picked up a different one and looked at it, "You can't even ask, let alone me." Xiao Xu, this person, if he doesn't make trouble, he will be thankful, and expect him to help?Xiang Wenliu couldn't see clearly, but he could see clearly.

Xiang Wenliu clenched his fists, "That guy better tell the truth!"

Yu Siyi glanced at his old friend across the table and sighed inwardly.

"By the way," Xiang Wenliu looked in the direction of the back room, "Isn't Palace Master Leng always with you? Why didn't you see anyone?"

Yu Siyi glanced at him, "What do you care so much about?"

"..." Xiangwen Liu Chaotian rolled his eyes, got up and said, "I'd better go and see if there are any clues on Lu Tong's corpse, let's go."

Yu Siyi waved his hand, and continued to look at the two scenes he had drawn in his hand. It is estimated that he is the only one who can understand what these paintings are about.

Leng Lianyue stepped over the threshold and walked in, handing the note in her hand to Yu Siyi, "Ding Ran has news."

"Oh?" Yu Siyi sat up straight, immediately took the note and read it, the more she looked at it, the more she frowned, "So Yun Mucheng was also attacked that night?"

"Well, that's why they left in a hurry the next day." Leng Lianyue walked to Yu Siyi's right hand and sat down, picked up the paper Yu Siyi was looking at just now and glanced at it.

Yu Siyi clicked his tongue.He read the words on the note back and forth again, and put things together and thought about it. Someone lured Yun Musheng out, and it must be to harm him. For some reason, he failed in the end.According to Yun Mucheng's recollection, he didn't see anyone at the time, and he didn't even know that Lu Tong was killed... So what role did Lu Tong play in this incident?

Leng Lianyue said: "Is it possible that the murderer is the Yun family, they deliberately knocked Yun Mucheng unconscious, just to create the illusion that their people were also injured, so that people can't suspect them?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Yu Siyi put down the note in his hand with a serious expression, "But why did the Yun family do this? No matter whether the three great families are harmonious behind the scenes, at least they have a good relationship on the surface. They still rely on cooperating with the Lu family to do business in the north, so there is no reason for them to be enemies of the Lu family."

Leng Lianyue looked at him, "Can the Yun family be ruled out?"

Yu Siyi shook his head, "No, before the real culprit is found, anyone can do it."

"...It's nothing to say." Leng Lianyue put down the paper in her hand, and tapped it with her index finger, "Is there anything weird about these two places?"

Yu Siyi pointed to the piece of paper at the first scene, "This is in the back mountain of the courtyard where Xiao Xu lives," and then pointed to the paper at the scene of throwing the corpse, "This is far away in the back mountain and deep in the mountains, you said How long will it take to come and go between these two places?"

"It only takes half an hour to go back and forth with Qinggong."

"In addition to taking care of the marks on Lu Tong's body and covering up the scene, that person must not have time to go down the mountain before dawn, so that person should still be in the villa now."

"But before Lu Tong's body was discovered, some family sects had already left."

"...It would be too bad if the murderer got away among these people."

This was the first time Yu Siyi encountered such a difficult matter. There were too many people coming to the Chaohua Festival, and it was extremely difficult to investigate. In addition, the corpses and the scene were destroyed, so there were very few clues.Yu Siyi scratched her hair with a headache.

Leng Lianyue looked at Yu Siyi's irritable look, "Why do you have to take care of these things?"

"Ah?" Yu Siyi looked up at him, not understanding the meaning of Leng Lianyue for a while.

"Obviously these things have nothing to do with you." It seems that people all over the world think that these things should be taken care of by you...

Yu Siyi glanced at him, lowered his eyes, and paused for a while before saying, "Actually, there is no such thing as should or shouldn't! If you want to gain something, you will inevitably lose something. This is the natural law of everything in the world."

Leng Lianyue: "Then what do you want?"

Yu Siyi only looked at him and smiled, then turned to look outside.

Recently, Shao Huaiyu often stays with Yu Siyi. Yu Siyi doesn't understand what this young master wants to do, but he has no reason to chase him away when they come to him to track down the murderer together.But fortunately, Shao Huaiyu is not like Lu Yu's idiot, with a flexible mind, and the two of them are gradually working together happily.

It was very late that day, and Shao Huaiyu didn't show up, and Yu Siyi didn't care. He walked around the villa as usual, watching the rows of guards passing by, the guards who didn't dare to show up, and all the disciples stayed in their own courtyard. Do not go out without an order.

A maid hurriedly ran past Yu Siyi with a box in her arms, she didn't know whether she was nervous or the box was too heavy and fell to the ground. Son, Yu Siyi stepped forward to help others pick it up, the maid glanced at him and thanked him.

Yu Siyi asked casually: "Is this going to be given to some young master or daughter to relieve boredom? It seems quite leisurely."

The maid's hands and feet were very sharp, and she sarcastically said, "What little master, isn't that Lu from the Lu family... Mr. Lu, who complains every day that he is bored in our Zhuangzi, but he is trying to make a fuss. If you want this today, you will want it tomorrow." Well, didn’t the master throw him out for the sake of Master Lu, and let such a thing play wild on his head.” The maid couldn’t stop talking, “The brother just died, he not only Not sad at all, and still in the mood to have fun, just like having a great happy event! This kind of person, I have to wonder if Mr. Lu is the one who killed him!" As soon as the words finished, the maid covered her mouth and looked at him in panic. He glanced at Yu Siyi, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'm talking nonsense, don't take it to heart!" After speaking, he picked up the box and left.

Yu Siyi looked thoughtfully at the maid who had gone away.

Shao Huaiyu looked at the person who didn't know which sect he was in front of him. He came to visit him early in the morning and gave him a small gift, but he didn't say anything, and he talked for a long time without knowing what he was talking about. leave.I don't know what happened to these people recently, one by one rushed to see him, but he refused to see him, but what Uncle Yuan said was not polite, what he did would make outsiders think that the Shao family thought highly of themselves, so they had to be patient Temperament to deal with people.He has been taught very strictly since he was a child, but he can chat with these people with a pleasant face.

Finally, the people left, Shao Huaiyu immediately went out to look for Yu Siyi, and met Uncle Yuan at the door, he said hello and was about to walk around people, but Uncle Yuan reached out to stop him.

Shao Huaiyu looked at him in confusion.

Uncle Yuan put down his hands, his expression unclear, "Young master is going to look for Yu Siyi again?"

Shao Huaiyu replied: "Yes!" He said and glanced at the sky.

Uncle Yuan said in a deep voice: "Young Master, it's better to have less contact with this person!" Seeing Shao Huaiyu's completely unmoved expression, he paused and changed the subject, "Mr. He is capable and smart, and now he can help the little one a lot."

Shao Huaiyu nodded indiscriminately, "You can figure it out."

After finishing speaking, he left. As for Uncle Yuan's first sentence, he pretended he didn't hear it at all. He felt that Yu Siyi could still make friends. At least Yu Siyi was much better than those so-called famous people. As soon as an accident happened, he shrank back, didn't say to stand up and investigate the truth together, as if he was afraid of getting angry, he only knew how to protect himself.

After Shao Huaiyu found Yu Siyi, he seldom complained a few words, saying that people came to see him every day, and it was nothing important, either giving gifts or flattering, it was annoying to watch!

This was the first time Yu Siyi heard him talk about something unrelated to the incident, but he thought it was normal. After all, Shao Huaiyu's identity was there, and it was common for many people to curry favor with him.

It was also because he didn't take this small matter to heart at the time, so he didn't notice the change in people's hearts, and finally caught him off guard. If he knew how to prevent problems before they happen, he wouldn't have happened. There are so many things...
