Mr. Kezaku

Chapter 23 Cooking Snow Villa 3

Chu Yuyang said: "It's not impossible."

Zhao Xingduan saw what he said casually, and asked: "Then what do you think is going on?"

Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "I don't dare to guess randomly based on just one word."

There were a few guards guarding the entrance, and they all stretched their necks to look inside, as if they were afraid that Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan would do something inside, so many eyes were staring at them.

Lu Zhiyi didn't follow in, he didn't know what he was doing outside.But soon, they heard Lu Zhiyi's voice, who seemed to be devastated.

There were women's voices crying outside, and women's voices cursing.

The dead man, Wei Boping, was the head of the family.The Wei family is doing business in the Jiangnan area, and it is said that the family is relatively rich.The eldest son was spoiled by the old lady of the Wei family. He ate, drank, whored and gambled since he was a child. He married a vicious daughter-in-law, Mrs. Wang, who wanted to restrain him, but it didn't work. He still drank and caused trouble all day long.

It was Li Shi, the daughter-in-law of Wei Zhongwen, the eldest son of the Wei family, who bumped into Chu Yuyang at the birthday banquet last night but was arrogant and unreasonable.Li's family is also in business, and there are relatives who are officials in the court, so they are well-matched with the Wei family.Li's temperament is arrogant and domineering, while his husband-in-law Wei Zhongwen has a submissive personality. Although he has some talents and abilities, he is not loved by his family. The old lady obviously loves her eldest son more.

Since Zhuxue Mountain Villa was built on this mountain, it has almost refused to communicate with outsiders. After many years, it is not easy to encounter a big birthday banquet. Many people who had friendship with Lu Zhu before naturally brought Come here to celebrate your birthday with a gift.

Originally, the Wei family asked Wei Zhongwen to bring a birthday gift this time, but the eldest brother of the Wei family had no interest in playing at home, so he followed the second son of the Wei family.Unexpectedly, after living in Zhuxue Villa for not many days, he was suddenly killed by someone.

Someone died on the ground of Zhuoxue Mountain Villa. Even if the Lu family was not the murderer, they couldn't get away with it. At least they were the masters here.

Wang found the body of her husband-in-law Wei Boping early in the morning, and she almost passed out from fright. Despite her usually aggressive temper, she was a woman, and she was baffled at this time, crying loudly.

Mrs. Li was leading a few people from the Wei family to block Lu Zhiyi, Liu Mei raised Xinghe's eyes angrily, and scolded Lu Zhiyi loudly.

Li Shi still has a big belly. Although she said it harshly, no one dared to touch her.Everyone saw it at the birthday banquet yesterday, no one touched her and she was always relying on others, if it really happened, it would be a big deal.

Mrs. Li said: "Well, you Zhuxue Mountain Villa, you have already planned to kill people. Let me just say, why have I not heard from you for so long, and suddenly sent out invitations. It turned out that I wanted to get us all here. , and then kill them one by one."

Lu Zhiyi had a terrible headache when she heard her gossip, but he didn't take it for granted that someone died in Zhuxue Villa, so he could only apologize repeatedly and said, "Zhuxue Villa will definitely investigate this matter as soon as possible. Find the murderer and give Brother Wei justice."

"Bah!" Mrs. Li sneered, and said, "What you said sounds good. I think you guys from Snow Mountain Villa killed the person, and you are the murderer!"

Wei Zhongwen hurried over and heard his wife's voice before entering the yard. He trotted over quickly, took Li's arm, and said, "You are still pregnant with a child, don't get angry. And I think it's also It's not the people from the Lu family who killed him, Master Lu also said..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mrs. Li had already pushed him, and said angrily: "You are a wimp, your elder brother is dead, and you still speak for others? You are really a wolf with a twisted elbow."

There was a quarrel outside, but Mrs. Wang didn't speak, but kept crying.

Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "I heard that pregnant women have bad tempers."

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Zhao Xingduan looked at his autopsy and said, "What did you find?"

Chu Yuyang wanted to say that he is not a professional forensic doctor, so for autopsies, he should go to Huaishui.However, one of Chu Yuyang's great strengths is his keen observation, which is not unheard of.

Chu Yuyang said: "I found a strange thing."

Zhao Xingduan asked: "What?"

Chu Yuyang squatted on the ground, pointed at the corpse and said, "You just said that this person should have died at midnight last night?"

Zhao Xingduan nodded and said: "When his wife was in his wife's house, he heard the sound of tables and chairs being overturned outside. The people living next door heard it too, and they all confirmed it was Zi's time."

Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "It wasn't Zishi, he would have died long ago."

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, as if he didn't quite believe it.

Chu Yuyang said: "And this is probably not the scene of the first crime. The body has been moved. I guess the murderer put the body here."

"How did you find out." Zhao Xingduan said.

Chu Yuyang said: "The rigor, if it had died at midnight last night, it has only been more than three hours now. Although the rigor of the corpse would spread to the joints, it would not be so serious. In the current situation, It has reached the peak of rigor, and I'm afraid I have been dead for at least six hours."

Zhao Xingduan frowned and remained silent.

Chu Yuyang said again: "And there are corpse spots on the corpse, you can try to press one with your hands, the corpse spots will not disappear completely, but some color has faded, the death should be more than four hours old."

Zhao Xingduan's eyeballs moved, but he obviously didn't reach out to touch the corpse.Although the weather was cold, the body didn't stink, but Zhao Xingduan's white shirt showed how much he liked to be clean.

Zhao Xingduan asked: "Then how do you know it was moved?"

Chu Yuyang pointed at the corpse and said, "The corpse spots appeared on the lower part of the corpse. He is lying flat on the ground now, and the corpse spots should appear on his back and so on. But you see, there are corpse spots on his face too." Madara, but not lying face down, it means that the corpse has shifted, that is, the corpse has been moved."

As they were talking, the commotion outside seemed to be getting worse. Mrs. Li brought a few people from the Wei family, and she was a woman who was pregnant. No one dared to touch her, so they broke in.

Lu Zhiyi and several nurses also quickly followed in. Li Shi didn't know that there was still someone in the room, so she seemed startled. Seeing Chu Yuyang's face clearly, she yelled and said, "Why is it you?" ?”

Chu Yuyang also almost finished looking at the corpse, stood up and said, "I am Wu Zuo."

"Bah!" Mrs. Li spat fiercely on the ground and said, "Are you a murderer? I think you are a murderer!"

Chu Yuyang was not annoyed, and said sincerely, "Auntie, please don't defecate anywhere."

Li Shi was taken aback for a moment, but was immediately dumbfounded by what he said. When he realized it, his chest heaved rapidly with anger, and his stomach seemed to get bigger in an instant, probably because he was full of anger.

Li's eyes widened, and he said, "How dare you insult me? You are so arrogant after killing someone! Come on! Hit him, first smash his mouth!"

When the thugs of the Wei family heard Li Shi's words, they all stared wide-eyed, and then rolled their arms and rushed to beat Chu Yuyang.

Lu Zhiyi saw it, and hurried forward to block it, but Zhao Xingduan moved faster.A thug rushed up ferociously and swung his fist viciously, but before he touched the corner of Chu Yuyang's clothes, he had already "bang" and was kicked out by Zhao Xingduan, flying directly out of the room.

Mrs. Li was taken aback, she didn't expect Zhao Xingduan's martial arts to be so powerful, she was so frightened that she could only stare and dare not speak.

The rest of the thugs were also frightened for a moment, not daring to go forward, they all looked at Mrs. Li hesitantly.

Li said: "You killed someone, do you still want to kill us all?"

Chu Yuyang felt that the first time he met someone, he was even more troublesome than himself, and said: "Auntie, you just stood at the door and said that the Lu family is the murderer, and then came in and said I was the murderer, but within a minute you changed your mouth and said I am the murderer." He Duan'er is the murderer, do you have a clue? Why do I feel that everyone has been framed by you all over the place?"

Chu Yuyang said this, and then clapped her hands "ah", she seemed to have suddenly realized, and said, "Could it be that you are the murderer, because you killed someone, so you are afraid, and you are constantly clearing yourself of the suspects. ?”

Li Shi was so angry that she could only say: "You are talking nonsense! You are talking nonsense!" She couldn't say anything else.

Lu Zhiyi hurriedly said: "Everyone, stay calm and don't be impatient. Now is not the time to suspect and quarrel. Let's find out the murderer calmly, so that Brother Wei can rest in peace."

Li Shi couldn't help but said, "Look for the murderer? Now that the mountain is covered by heavy snow, it is impossible to go down the mountain to report to the officials, and no one from the government can come up. Who will look for the murderer?"

Lu Zhiyi was stopped by the question, and said: "This...as long as the snow is a little lighter and the mountain road can be walked, I will send people down the mountain immediately."

He looked at Chu Yuyang again as he spoke, and said, "That's right, there is also this Mr. Chu, I heard that he used to work as a gangster in Xialiang County."

"It turned out to be a gangster." Li raised his chin, squinted at Chu Yuyang and said, "You can't get on the stage. Where is Xialiang County? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Chu Yuyang said: "It's scary to be uneducated."

"What did you say?" Li Shi stared.

Wei Zhongwen wanted to persuade Li several times, but Li ignored him, so Wei Zhongwen had to stand aside in embarrassment.

Li's eyeballs rolled around, he sneered, and suddenly said: "You say you are a gangster?"

This sentence was asked to Chu Yuyang.

Chu Yuyang nodded generously and said yes.

Mrs. Li sneered again, and said, "Okay, then we have three days to solve the case. If the murderer can't be found, then..."

Chu Yuyang blinked, and before she finished speaking, she said, "Solve the case in three days? Two days, okay?"

"What?" Li Shi stared, thinking she had heard wrong.

The people around all stared at Chu Yuyang with countless eyes, and everyone's heart was full of turmoil.The boss of the Wei family was killed, and now there is no clue at all. Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and it is almost impossible to solve the case.But Chu Yuyang only said that it would take two days. Does he already know who the murderer is?

Mrs. Li couldn't believe it, and said, "You said two days?"

Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Two days are too many, how about before sunset?"

Mrs. Li agreed without hesitation, and said loudly, "Just before sunset."

Although Zhao Xingduan showed no surprise on his face, he was still surprised in his heart, and was also very curious about what Chu Yuyang knew, that he said that the case could be solved before sunset.

When Chu Yuyang heard this, she said with a smile, "Before sunset, I'll do it before sunset. Anyway, I'm a coordinator, not a policeman or a county magistrate. I just do the autopsy and don't care about solving the case."

The room became quiet in an instant, everyone was dumbfounded, Zhao Xingduan showed a clear look, it turned out that Chu Yuyang was messing with her again.

Mrs. Li became angry, and said, "You said before sunset, whoever solves the case is not you?"

Chu Yuyang said innocently: "How do I know, I have done my due diligence on the body."

There was a stalemate here, when suddenly a young man ran in and said, "The owner of the young village is not well, some guests insist on going down the mountain, and they have already reached the gate, and we can't stop them."

Lu Zhiyi frowned and said, "What's going on?"

The servant didn't speak, but Mrs. Li said again: "At this time, no one can leave. The murderer may be among us. Whoever wants to leave is the murderer."

The servant said: "Those guests must have been terrified. They said that the murderer left a message beside the deceased that he would kill at least [-] people. If they stayed here, everyone would be killed, so they said they should hurry down the mountain."

Lu Zhiyi said: "Take me to see quickly, how can such a heavy snow fall down the mountain, if you are not careful, you will fall off the cliff."

Lu Zhiyi left in a hurry, and Chu Yuyang didn't want to stay anymore, so he dragged Zhao Xingduan out swaggeringly.

The two of them came out of the courtyard and walked to the courtyard next door. Zhao Xingduan asked, "Who do you think the murderer might be?"

Chu Yuyang shook his head and said, "I don't know. Although the person from the Wei family didn't die at midnight last night, it wasn't that someone heard the movement, maybe the murderer moved the body over at that time. Ask everyone at the time You should know who is suspected of what you are doing all the time."

Zhao Xingduan nodded, that is indeed the case.

Chu Yuyang said: "Let's leave it to the Lu family to do interrogation. We're not the masters. It's so annoying."

Zhao Xingduan thought it was reasonable, and he didn't want to reveal his identity.

The two of them walked into the yard, and Chu Yuyang said, "I went to see the corpse early in the morning without even having breakfast. I'm hungry. I'm going to wash my hands and eat breakfast."

As Chu Yuyang said, she let go of Zhao Xingduan's sleeve, and then happily ran into the house to wash her hands and eat breakfast.

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, he forgot about Chu Yuyang grabbing his sleeve just after being talked all the way.His face turned blue immediately, and Chu Yuyang's hands, which had just been touching the corpse for a long time, actually kept grabbing his sleeves like this.

Zhao Xingduan's face turned black just thinking about it, and he wanted to capture Chu Yuyang and bury him in the snow as a snowman.

When Zhao Xingduan entered the room, Chu Yuyang had washed her hands, sat at the table drinking tea and waited for the servant girl to bring her breakfast.

Zhao Xingduan flipped through a new snow-white outer shirt, and after thinking about it, he simply flipped out a new set for what he was wearing inside, and then took off and put on new ones.

Chu Yuyang rubbed his nose, Zhao Xingduan stood by the bed and changed his clothes, Chu Yuyang sat on the edge of the table and drank tea, half of his face was covered by the teacup, revealing a pair of big shining eyes, full of interest He stared at Zhao Xingduan as he changed his clothes.

Zhao Xingduan's movements were quick, but Chu Yuyang was still very satisfied. There were beauties changing clothes early in the morning to watch, and the benefits couldn't be better.

Zhao Xingduan's back was facing Chu Yuyang, Chu Yuyang felt it was a pity, he only saw Zhao Xingduan's naked back, he couldn't see his abdominal muscles, let alone his bottom, maybe there was a charming What about the mermaid line?

Just when Chu Yuyang was holding the teacup and giggling, Zhao Xingduan had already changed his clothes, and then sat down to drink tea, waiting for a while to eat breakfast.

Zhao Xingduan glanced at him contemptuously, while Chu Yuyang still had an idiot-like smile on his face.

Zhao Xingduan said: "I'm afraid no one is as happy as you every day."

Chu Yuyang said, "Really? Duan'er is also tired from life?"

Zhao Xingduan did not speak.

Chu Yuyang said wisely: "Duan'er, let me tell you, the reason I live tired is because I have a lot of superfluous things in my heart."

Zhao Xingduan drinks tea.

Chu Yuyang continued: "Actually, it's the same principle as being full."

Zhao Xingduan felt that the tea almost went astray and choked it into his nose.

After a while, the servant girl brought breakfast to everyone and brought them to the guest's room one by one.

There are porridge, side dishes, and all kinds of delicate snacks, but unfortunately there are no fried dough sticks and tofu nao. Chu Yuyang feels that although the breakfast is delicious, a breakfast without fried dough sticks tofu nao is not a complete breakfast.

Zhao Xingduan was not as obsessed with fried dough sticks and tofu nao.

The mountain was covered by heavy snow, and another life was lost. It is inevitable that everyone was a little scared and uneasy, afraid that the murderer would kill everyone one by one as they thought, and only after killing twenty people would stop.So everyone didn't dare to stay alone anymore, and they all gathered in groups, so that there was a good support.

Chu Yuyang finished her breakfast, wiped her mouth, and drank a cup of tea, looking like she was enjoying herself.

Zhao Xingduan asked: "Aren't you afraid that the murderer's next target will be you?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Don't be afraid, I have Duaner to protect."

Zhao Xingduan made a clear voice from his nose, which sounded unclear, but this sentence made the corners of his mouth twitch uncontrollably.

Chu Yuyang said: "I need to find a soft persimmon, but the end is too hard. I don't have to be afraid if I have the end by my side."

The corners of Zhao Xingduan's raised lips were a little stiff. Although Chu Yuyang was praising him, he still couldn't laugh. It sounded really wretched.especially……

In particular, it reminded Zhao Xingduan of the unpleasant experience of sharing the same bed last night.

Chu Yuyang just said that he was too tough...

Zhao Xingduan had a weird expression on his face, his mouth was dry and he coughed unnaturally.

Chu Yuyang asked, "Have you caught a cold?"

Zhao Xingduan felt guilty and said, "No."

Chu Yuyang said: "It's so cold here, look how tightly I wrap up, you wear too little, you should wear a few more."

Not long after they finished their meal, they heard that all those who insisted on leaving had all returned.Lu Zhiyi couldn't stop them, they were determined to go down the mountain, but they came back after less than an hour.

The snow outside was so heavy that it was impossible to walk on the mountain roads. It was all covered with white snow. I didn't know what I stepped on. In some places, the snow was so thick that people could be buried.

Chu Yuyang asked: "It won't be an avalanche, right? Then there is really no need for a murderer to kill someone."

Zhao Xingduan said: "I'm afraid Zhuxue Villa has been buried long ago."

"It makes sense." Chu Yuyang said with a smile.

Everyone in the villa was trembling, there was nothing to entertain here, everyone was just sitting and chatting, and all the topics they talked about were the death of the Wei family member.

Lu Zhiyi came over after a while, knocked on the door and asked, "Is Mr. Chu there?"

Zhao Xingduan went to open the door, Chu Yuyang hugged the teacup and covered his hands.

Lu Zhiyi said: "Mr. Chu, someone in the Lu family died suddenly. This is something that no one thought of. Now that the mountains are covered by heavy snow, there is no way to report to the officials. Mr. Chu used to work in the yamen, so he must be aware of such things. I am very familiar with it, and I hope Mr. Chu can help me."

Lu Zhiyi said it politely and respectfully. Of course, Chu Yuyang would not play him like Li Shi, so she told Lu Zhiyi all her discoveries.

Chu Yuyang said: "First ask everyone what they were doing around midnight last night."

Lu Zhiyi said: "This is easy to handle. I will find a reason in the future and call all the guests together to inquire."

Chu Yuyang said: "By the way, the watchman also came to ask, and asked him if he had seen the suspicious person come and go here before and after the child."

Lu Zhiyi nodded immediately.

Now Lu Zhiyi is the busiest up and down Zhuoxue Mountain Villa. Not long after he entered the house, another servant hurried over and said, "Young master, the old master's illness has struck again." Come on, go and have a look."

When Lu Zhiyi heard this, he was a little anxious, and said: "Mr. Chu, please leave this matter to me. Lu is very grateful."

Chu Yuyang waved her hand and said, "It's easy to talk about."

Lu Zhiyi left in a hurry.

After Lu Zhiyi left, as soon as the door was closed, Chu Yuyang heard Zhao Xingduan suddenly say, "Lu Zhiyi looks good?"

Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a rare moment, recalled it carefully, and said with a smile: "You look pretty good after all."

Zhao Xingduan was almost vomited blood by his anger, and said, "That's why you are so enthusiastic about helping him investigate the case?"

Chu Yuyang said unconvinced: "Duan'er, I've told you several times, I'm not such a superficial person."

Zhao Xingduan smiled and said nothing, obviously not believing it.

Chu Yuyang said: "Because he is quite polite."

Near noon, the servants and maids came to inform, saying that the owner of the young village asked everyone to have lunch in the hall.

Everyone was a bit reluctant, they had no appetite now, who wanted to have another feast, just wanted to quietly wait for the murderer to be caught, or the heavy snow stopped to go down the mountain.

However, the servant girls said that the lunch in the hall was already prepared, so even if everyone didn't like it, they had no choice but to go.And looking at the posture of the servant girl, if they don't go there, there won't be a second lunch delivered, but if they don't go there, they will only be hungry.

Chu Yuyang was very happy when he heard that there was food to eat.It's too cold here, I have to eat something to feel warm, otherwise my stomach will feel cold without food.

Everyone went to the hall one after another, and they all walked together. At this time, they dare not even walk alone.

Sitting at the same table was still Chu Yuyang, Zhao Xingduan and the others, but they moved from the door to the side of the chief, so all the people at the next table changed.The second child of the Wei family and his wife, Li Shi, sat on the chief seat, not far away.Especially Chu Yuyang and Li Shi, they were so close, it was no different from sitting next to each other.

As soon as Mrs. Li sat down, she found Chu Yuyang, and then quit, clamoring to change places.

But now everyone is annoying enough, and no one pays attention to her.Mrs. Li yelled for a while, feeling very angry, and finally sat down in that seat.

Lu Zhiyi was probably delayed by something, and he hasn't come here yet.The butler came first, and said apologetically, "The old owner's old illness has occurred. The young owner and the doctor are treating the old owner. Everyone, please have lunch first. The young owner will be there soon."

Looking at this posture, Zhao Xingduan estimated that Lu Zhiyi just wanted to gather everyone together for lunch.

All the dishes were served, and in order to surprise everyone, they turned out to be much better than yesterday's birthday banquet dishes.Chu Yuyang didn't smile when he saw it, probably he was the only one who ate the most happily.

The servants and maids are still filing in, placing the newly prepared dishes on the tables.

Mrs. Li at the next table retched suddenly and said, "What is this? It looks so disgusting. It's so disgusting. Don't bring it up. Take it away."

The servant girl was startled by her, and hurriedly said: "This is Dongpo meat."

"It's disgusting to look at, it's all fat, how can people eat it?" Li Shi said critically, covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and kept fanning with the other hand.

Wei Zhongwen said in a low voice: "If you put it farther away, you won't be able to smell it. Maybe someone else wants to eat it."

Mrs. Li became angry when she heard this, and said, "Who would eat this kind of pig food? Am I your wife? Why are you talking for others?"

Everyone at the table was very embarrassed, and as a result, the plate of Dongpo pork did not serve their table.

Chu Yuyang's eyes lit up when he saw it, and said, "They don't want it, so let's put it on our table."

Just as the little maid was about to bring it down, after hearing Chu Yuyang's words, she brought the extra plate of Dongpo meat to Chu Yuyang's table.

Chu Yuyang looked at the little girl with a smile and thanked her twice, the little girl blushed, lowered her head and hurried down.

Zhao Xingduan: "..."

Chu Yuyang obviously didn't pay attention to the little maid's actions, he stared at the two plates of Dongpo meat with bright eyes.It seems that the chef of the Lu family is very skilled. The Dongpo pork looks attractive and crystal clear.

Chu Yuyang unceremoniously picked up a piece, ate it in two bites, and exclaimed, "Duaner, it's delicious."

Zhao Xingduan didn't like this kind of fatty meat, but Chu Yuyang seemed to be a bit infected by eating it so vigorously, so he ate a piece. The taste was indeed not bad, not inferior to the cooks in the capital's palace.

Chu Yuyang ate several pieces in a row, looking like he was in a storm.

Mrs. Li next door sneered, and said, "The lower class is the lower class. Do you know how to keep in good health after eating such disgusting fat?"

Chu Yuyang stuffed a piece of Dongpo meat into his mouth, chewed it unhurriedly, and said with a bulging mouth, "Auntie, let me tell you, I used to have a neighbor, and the grandfather lived to be 120 years old. Do you know why?"

Mrs. Li was taken aback, and said unconvinced: "Could it be that he is such a disgusting thing every day?"

"Because..." Chu Yuyang blinked and said sincerely, "He doesn't talk much, and he never minds other things."

Originally, everyone was waiting to hear the secret of the old man's longevity, but Chu Yuyang's subsequent words turned out to be such a sentence.

Li Shi was stunned, and immediately understood that Chu Yuyang was really teasing herself.

Someone next to him realized it later and couldn't help laughing out loud.

As a result, Li Shi's face became even more ugly. If Wei Zhongwen was not stopping him, Li Shi would probably jump up and fight Chu Yuyang desperately.

Chu Yuyang chuckled, feeling happy after taking advantage of it. Seeing that there was only the last piece of Dongpo meat left on the plate, he immediately stretched out his chopsticks to grab it.

But someone moved faster. Chu Yuyang's chopsticks had just been stretched out halfway, and the last piece of meat had already been picked up by Zhao Xingduan next to him.

Zhao Xingduan didn't seem to move very fast, he looked very elegant, and he ate the last Dongpo meat under Chu Yuyang's mournful eyes.

Chu Yuyang said, "Duan'er, why did you grab food from me?"

Zhao Xingduan said: "You talk a lot, and you always like to meddle in other people's business."

Chu Yuyang said: "It doesn't matter, 120 years old is too long, as long as I live to 110, I will be satisfied."

Just when everyone was basically full, Lu Zhiyi finally showed up after a long wait.

Lu Zhiyi apologized to everyone for being late, and then cut to the point, saying: "In order to facilitate the investigation, and to find the murderer, so that everyone can rest assured, please tell us about your whereabouts around midnight last night."

Although everyone didn't like to be asked, they also wanted to find the murderer as soon as possible, so they said everything.

Something happened at the birthday banquet yesterday, and it was already late when we got back. Everyone was exhausted and noisy. At midnight, most of them fell asleep and didn't leave the room.There are very few people who can testify to things like sleeping.

So when everyone finished talking, I didn't find anything useful.

After the questioning, the hall was still very quiet, and everyone seemed to be thinking about who the murderer was.

Someone suddenly said: "Maybe the murderer is not among us at all, but a member of the Lu family."

After he finished speaking, a few people became restless and said, "That's right, you have lived on the mountain for so long, and you suddenly held a birthday banquet. Thinking about it now, it's too suspicious."

When Lu Zhiyi heard it, he was a little displeased, but he still said politely: "Uncle Zhu and Uncle Lu don't like to hear these words. I have just asked the housekeeper to call all the servants together. If anyone doubts it, they should personally Go ask questions."

The first person to speak was Zhu Xingchang, who sounded like he still had some friendship with Zhuxue Villa.The second person who spoke was Lu Shen. They were sitting at the same table, and they seemed to have known each other before.

In the morning, there was a group of people who were in a hurry to go down the mountain, and these two people were among them, but that group of people are all sitting here now, after all, the mountain was covered by heavy snow, and they didn't go far, so they had to go back to the village Come.

Zhu Xingchang snorted coldly and said, "Of course you have to ask questions, but I don't think it's useful. You don't have the truth in your mouth."

Lu Zhiyi was very angry, but because of their seniority, they didn't show it.Lu Zhiyi asked the housekeeper to bring all the servants here, and they took them outside the hall, gathered together, and questioned them in front of everyone.

Chu Yuyang rested her chin, her eyes rolled around.

Zhao Xingduan said: "What bad idea are you thinking?"

"I was wronged." Chu Yuyang said.

Zhao Xingduan said: "When your eyes rolled, didn't you think of a bad idea?"

Chu Yuyang said: "My eyeballs are rolling, which means that I am thinking at a high speed. This is a sign of my intelligence."

Zhao Xingduan laughed, but it was obviously not a compliment.

The person in charge of shifting near the guest wing said: "Yesterday, I was in charge of shifting. There was nothing unusual about midnight, and I didn't see anyone coming in or out of the yard."

Then a servant said: "Yesterday, the old Zhuangzi suddenly fell ill when he was around. He was coughing and unable to breathe. When he was hospitalized, almost no one fell asleep. They were all busy with this. Everyone can testify."

The maid next to her nodded in agreement.

The doctor in Zhuangzi also said that Lu Zhu fell ill in the middle of the night yesterday, so they didn't sleep.

Then Zhu Xingchang said: "Everyone has said it, now it's up to Master Lu, you didn't say where you are?"

Hearing that he was targeting him, Lu Zhiyi said calmly: "Yesterday, when my grandfather was a child, his old illness relapsed and he couldn't fall asleep. When I heard about it, I immediately rushed over to stay by my side. The servant girl, the housekeeper, and the doctor were all by my side until I went back to rest at dawn."

Chu Yuyang rested her chin and said, "It seems that Master Lu is still a filial man."

Zhao Xingduan snorted inexplicably.

Chu Yuyang frowned, and said, "Everyone's statements are normal. Although many people have no witnesses, it's not normal to find witnesses while sleeping. I can't figure it out at all."

Zhao Xingduan heard Chu Yuyang say that he couldn't figure it out, and he didn't know whether he should be happy or frown.

There was no clue about the matter, everyone had to disperse, and the whole day was peaceful, no one was being killed.

It got dark very early, because of the heavy snow, there was no moonlight when it got dark, and Zhuxue Mountain Villa looked particularly gloomy.

At night, no one went out, only the servant girls were still walking outside, and then there was the sound of the watchman knocking on his clapper.

Zhao Xingduan came back from the outside, and just went to order his followers, and he will check Zhuxue Villa again in the next few days.

He pushed open the door and walked in, went inside, and saw that Chu Yuyang was already wrapped in a quilt and sitting on the bed, her nose was red from the cold.

When Zhao Xingduan looked at it, he immediately thought of what happened last night... and it was a little unnatural.

Zhao Xingduan said: "Are you going to bed so early?"

Chu Yuyang said: "No, I feel cold, so I just wrapped myself in a quilt."

Although Zhao Xingduan was talking to Chu Yuyang, he had another thing on his mind.Zhao Xingduan thought, maybe he should let Chu Yuyang sleep outside tonight, so as not to...

However, a murder case just happened in the middle of the night last night, and the murderer is still unknown, so it is really not safe for Chu Yuyang to sleep outside.

Are you going to sleep outside?Zhao Xingduan's face turned dark when he thought about it. He is a majestic prince, and one day he wants to sleep outside on the small bed used by the maid Xiaoye?

After struggling for several hours, Zhao Xingduan still didn't throw Chu Yuyang out, and the two of them continued to share the same bed for the second night.

Chu Yuyang still had the special rules before falling asleep, but after falling asleep, she deliberately behaved recklessly.

But this time, Chu Yuyang didn't act recklessly for a while, when she heard the sound of gongs and drums outside, she was woken up immediately.

Someone shouted loudly: "The murderer has been caught, the murderer has been caught!"

Chu Yuyang was confused for a while, her head was dizzy and swollen, she sat up and asked, "What time is it? What are they talking about?"

Zhao Xingduan had already stood up in his clothes, put on his clothes quickly, and said, "Just after the building, someone outside shouted that the murderer has been caught."

Chu Yuyang rubbed her eyes, and finally woke up feeling bored, and quickly put on her clothes, saying, "The murderer was caught so soon?"

When they got dressed and came out, there were already a lot of people outside, some of them ran out without even getting fully dressed, and some of them hadn't even fallen asleep yet.

Everyone ran to the yard next door, probably the murderer was there.

Chu Yuyang and the others walked over quickly, and there were already many people standing in the yard, which were brightly lit with lanterns.

Chu Yuyang squeezed in and asked, "What's going on?"

Standing next to him happened to be Wei Zhongwen, who whispered, "I heard that the murderer was caught when he committed the crime."

"Murder?" Chu Yuyang was taken aback.

Wei Zhongwen sighed, and said: "Yes, that Zhu Xingchang Master Zhu was killed. But fortunately, the murderer was caught before he could run away, and even made himself visible."

Chu Yuyang immediately asked, "Who is the murderer?"

Wei Zhongwen said, "That's the one named Lu Shen."

Wei Zhongwen lives in this yard, so he knows more about it.

He said that just after midnight, he was still asleep when he heard a shrill cry.Many people in the same yard heard it, and they all ran out to check the situation.They found that the shout came from Zhu Xingchang's room. They opened the door and saw that Zhu Xingchang was sitting dead on a chair beside the tea table in the outside room. He was stabbed in the chest with a sword, causing a big gash and blood all over the floor.

And the murderer in everyone's mouth was Lu Shen, who was sitting opposite the dead man, with a terrified and dull expression on his face.Lu Shen's right index finger was covered in blood, and there were two words written in blood on the tea table...
