Mr. Kezaku
Chapter 25 Cooking Snow Villa 5
Zhao Xingduan felt that he was getting more and more wrong, maybe he was too busy recently, so busy that he didn't have time to vent, so he started to think wildly and hallucinated...
Zhao Xingduan felt that Chu Yuyang was the culprit for his wild thoughts, and it was Chu Yuyang's endless chirping in his ears, so he had hallucinations.
Zhao Xingduan felt that, upon closer inspection, Chu Yuyang was sometimes quite... likable?
The watchman tonight is not the previous two, but the third watchman who has never met.He came on time, and then went into the room to rest for a while, and then went out with the tools for the watch.
Chu Yuyang heard the watchman knock on the clapper as he walked, and shouted: "It's a watch at Xu time, the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles."
Then the watchmen walked farther and farther. They lay on the roof and looked farther away. The watchmen really followed the previous route.
After more than a cup of tea, the watchman came back. He seemed to be terribly cold. He rubbed his hands in the cold, stomped his feet and cursed a bad word, then opened the door and walked into the room.
The watchmen rested in the house for a while, and went to patrol again with tools.The second watch of Haishi also passed like this.
After the second watch of Haishi, almost no one left the house, and everyone was going to sleep in the cold weather.The watchman came back after walking around a few times, then hid in the house and didn't come out for a long time.
Chu Yuyang listened with his ears upright, but couldn't hear anything, the wind was whistling in his ears, so he raised his elbow and poked Zhao Xingduan on his body.Turning her head close to his ear, she asked in a low voice, "Why is there no movement inside?"
Zhao Xingduan came back to his senses after being poked by him, but Chu Yuyang leaned close to his ear, and the hot breath from his breath made Zhao Xingduan's brain a little hot, so he couldn't hear what he said clearly.
It took Zhao Xingduan a long time before he said, "I'm asleep, and I'm snoring."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "I slept so fast, even better than me."
Chu Yuyang whispered again: "Why don't you see the murderer come and do some tricks? Could it be that he's trying to startle the snake?"
Zhao Xingduan felt a little hot in his ears, coughed lightly, concealed his abnormality, and lowered his voice, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang immediately pursed her mouth, covered her lips with her index finger, and said, "Don't cough indiscriminately, what if someone overhears you?"
Zhao Xingduan was stunned, not because of Chu Yuyang's words, but because of Chu Yuyang's unintentional silence, his lips pursed slightly, if his fingers were ignored, it would be like inviting a kiss...
Chu Yuyang was the one lying on the bottom, and he wore a lot of clothes, so it was actually very difficult to turn around.He twisted so much that his neck was about to break, and found that Zhao Xingduan ignored him, and didn't reply after saying a word, thinking that Zhao Xingduan was disgusted with him, so he turned back.
But Chu Yuyang is not a person who is easily discouraged. After a while, he turned around with a smile and said in a low voice, "Duaner Duaner, your voice is also very nice."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
The few deep breaths that Prince Duan just took were in vain.
The watchman fell asleep, and no suspicious person appeared. Chu Yuyang was lying on her stomach, and she was about to freeze into brittle ice. She felt that even if Zhao Xingduan protected her from the wind, it was still terribly cold, and the blood all over her body It's about to freeze.It's a cold day, and I can't do too much movement. When I have nothing to do, my eyelids get heavy and I want to sleep.
When Zhao Xingduan heard it, Chu Yuyang's breathing became longer and slower, as if she was about to fall asleep.Sleeping in such a cold, it is a good thing to provoke the wind and cold, don't let it freeze to death and make a big fuss.
Seeing that it was almost three o'clock, there was movement in the house, and the watchman seemed to have woken up, and he had already started to go out of the house with tools.
Zhao Xingduan hugged Chu Yuyang's waist, hugged him horizontally, then raised his breath, and easily launched light kung fu from the roof, stepping on a branch covered with thick white snow next to him, using his strength to leap He was so angry that he had already left the watchman's roof between the ups and downs.
Chu Yuyang felt dazed, as if she was lying in the clouds, floating around.He opened his eyes and took a look, only to realize after a long while that he was no longer on the roof, but lying on the bed in the room.
Chu Yuyang struggled to sit up and said, "What's going on? How did we come back? Am I dreaming?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "It's time."
Chu Yuyang blinked her sleepy eyes, and after a while, she heard the voice of the watchman yelling for three quarters.
Chu Yuyang said, "Didn't the suspicious person show up?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head.
Chu Yuyang was a little disappointed, and said, "Could it be that I was wrong?"
Zhao Xingduan covered him with the quilt and said, "Warm up first before we talk."
Chu Yuyang was indeed very cold, so cold that he no longer knew it was cold, his hands and feet were cold, so cold that he was numb.
Chu Yuyang hugged the quilt, smiled and said, "If Duan'er hugs me, I will be warmer."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, Chu Yuyang was like this, he always liked to take advantage of things, he never seemed serious.
There was no unnecessary expression on Zhao Xingduan's face, he suddenly sat on the edge of the bed, then pulled away Chu Yuyang's quilt, put his arms in his arms, and wrapped the quilt around the two of them.
Chu Yuyang was dumbfounded all of a sudden, staring at two big round eyes, her face was dumbfounded, her mouth grew big, and she looked at Zhao Xingduan who was close at hand.
No matter how good Chu Yuyang was at ordinary times, he didn't have a single word now.
It took Chu Yuyang a long time to react, she still kept her staring expression, stammered, and asked, "You, what are you doing?"
"Hold you to keep warm." Prince Duan said concisely.
Chu Yuyang still stared and said, "Are you really Duaner?"
Looking at his surprised expression, Zhao Xingduan felt extremely benefited in his heart, he did not expect Chu Yuyang to have such an expression of being frightened.
Zhao Xingduan simply grabbed the quilt with one hand to prevent the quilt from slipping off them.The other hand touched Chu Yuyang's waist, hooked and twitched his fingers, and successfully pulled off his belt, and then went to untie his inner belt.
Chu Yuyang subconsciously pressed Zhao Xingduan's hand, and immediately his face turned red, and the pink color spread to his ears and neck. If the quilt wasn't wrapped too tightly, he might be able to see the delicate collarbone and fair skin. His chest was also stained with a layer of pink.
Chu Yuyang stammered even more, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "I heard that it will be warmer if you take off your clothes and hug each other for warmth."
The pink on Chu Yuyang's face turned into sauce red, and her heartbeat was unbelievably fast, Zhao Xingduan's hearing was so good that he could hear clearly.
Looking at his reaction, Zhao Xingduan couldn't hold back his serious face, and finally he couldn't hold back, and laughed in a low voice.
Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, and later realized that she had been played by Zhao Xingduan.But even so, his face was still very red, and with a quick struggle, he got out of Zhao Xingduan's arms, and kicked him unwillingly.
Zhao Xingduan's skill, how can he be kicked, he dodged sideways, raised his hand, and let his leg pass over his shoulder.
Not long after Chu Yuyang came back from the outside, his body was still not very flexible from the cold, and he was a little cramped when he was lifted too high by Zhao Xingduan. With a last push, he supported his body.
But in this way, Chu Yuyang's leg rested on Zhao Xingduan's shoulder...
This posture seems to be doing some kind of intense exercise...
Chu Yuyang was stunned immediately, and her facial expression was extremely tangled.
Zhao Xingduan was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly stopped the evil thoughts that were growing wantonly in his mind, and put his legs off his shoulders.
Chu Yuyang still had a troubled expression on her face, bit her lip, stretched her arms while lying half-lying, trying to reach her own legs, but her posture was stiff and she looked a little distorted.
Chu Yuyang said: "I have cramps..."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan was a little helpless, but he still asked kindly: "Where? Let me rub it for you."
Chu Yuyang pointed to her thigh.
Zhao Xingduan reached out and rubbed his legs vigorously, Chu Yuyang immediately yelled: "It hurts, it hurts me to death, wait, don't press too hard..."
Zhao Xingduan saw how he was screaming, so he didn't dare to use any more force, and said: "It will be fine if you rub your tendons, if you don't rub it, it will keep hurting."
"lighter……"
Chu Yuyang's pitiful appearance made Zhao Xingduan afraid to do anything.
Zhao Xingduan had no choice but to rub him slowly, asking while rubbing, "Is it better?"
"Hmm..." Chu Yuyang nodded in satisfaction.
Zhao Xingduan rubbed his thighs with his hands. Even though the pants were behind him, the hand felt surprisingly good.
Chu Yuyang is not so thin that she is full of bones, her body is still a bit fleshy, her thighs are soft and elastic.
Zhao Xingduan suddenly felt that the room was actually a bit hot.
"Well, it's comfortable..." Chu Yuyang rolled his throat, sighed, and said, "Duaner, your skills are not bad."
Zhao Xingduan suddenly had a pain in his forehead, stood up and got out of bed, and said, "I'm going to get someone to get hot water, and I'm going to sleep."
Chu Yuyang had no objection, he had no harvest all night, and he was very sleepy.
Before the hot water came, it suddenly became noisy outside.
Chu Yuyang asked, "What's going on?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang ran to the door, opened a small gap, and poked her head out to have a look.
It happened that Lin Bailiu was outside, so he probably came out to check the situation after hearing the sound.
Chu Yuyang called out: "Bai Liu."
Lin Bailiu turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw Chu Yuyang, he blushed a little, felt a little embarrassed, and his eyes flickered.
Chu Yuyang blinked her eyes in doubt, thinking that her charm value has already exploded without knowing it?Why did Lin Bailiu take a look at himself, and his face turned red like this.
Chu Yuyang waved to him and said, "What's going on outside?"
Lin Bailiu said: "I don't know, but I heard that something happened, it seems to be in the main courtyard."
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised, then nodded.
"Bai Liu."
They were talking, Teng Shan came in from the outside, and seeing Lin Bailiu standing in front of Chu Yuyang's door, he called him.
Teng Shan was a little surprised when he saw Chu Yuyang sticking his head out from the crack of the door, and asked, "Mr. Chu, why are you here?"
Chu Yuyang definitely had a more surprised expression than Teng Shan, and asked, "This is my room, of course I'm here."
Teng Shan said, "No...that's not what I meant. I thought...Mr. Chu should still be in bed now...cough."
Lin Bailiu immediately poked Teng Shan to tell him not to continue talking, his face was flushed red.
Chu Yuyang was confused, what kind of riddle they were playing.
Huaishui also came out of the house over there, seeing Chu Yuyang also with a surprised expression.
Chu Yuyang immediately rushed out from the crack of the door, then grabbed Huaishui's arm, and said, "Huaishui, tell me, what expression do you have?"
Huaishui was a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem, it's nothing."
"I don't believe it." Chu Yuyang said righteously, "You are so narrow-minded, you still want to deceive yourself into being a teacher!"
Huaishui had no choice but to be questioned by him, fearing that he would call other people over, so he whispered: "The voice in Master's room was a bit loud just now, I thought Master...should..."
Huaishui finally couldn't speak anymore, his skin was not that thick.
Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, thinking to herself what were she doing just now?
The sound insulation of the room is just so-so. After all, there are no iron doors, all wooden doors, and everyone knows martial arts.
Just now Chu Yuyang had a cramp, and was screaming in pain in the room, and everyone heard the scream.Not only that, the few words Chu Yuyang yelled made everyone misunderstand, thinking that he and Zhao Xingduan were making great progress and had already rolled on the bed to do that kind of thing.
Chu Yuyang's face suddenly changed, but he didn't look shy, because Chu Yuyang's skin thickness is unlimited.However, Chu Yuyang's eyeballs are rolling rapidly, and he has already thought of countless ways to take revenge in his mind, "revenge" these cranky people.
At this time, Zhao Xingduan pushed the door and came out from the house. Although he heard everyone's words clearly, Prince Duan is also a person who has gone through a lot of wind and waves.
Zhao Xingduan looked calm and said, "Something happened outside."
Teng Shan said: "I went out to inquire just now, and the boy said that something happened in the main courtyard, and the housekeeper died."
"What?" Lin Bailiu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said, "He died again?"
Chu Yuyang asked, "How did you die?"
Teng Shan told them what he found out.
It was windy and cold today, and Lu Zhu's condition deteriorated a bit. After eating, he asked the doctor to see him, and then he took medicine and performed acupuncture.The housekeeper and Lu Zhiyi had always been by the old owner's side, and they never left after dinner.
While waiting for Kuaizishi, Lu Zhu finally got better, said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and asked everyone to go back.Lu Zhiyi was tired all day, so he went back to his room to rest.The housekeeper was about to go back to his room to rest, but the tranquilizing incense burnt in the old owner's house burned out, so the housekeeper went to the storeroom to get tranquilizing incense.
The butler left the old owner Lu's room, accompanied by two maids who were responsible for lighting the lanterns. They went to the warehouse not far away to pick up things, and they were going to go back after taking them.
As a result, when they reached the door of the warehouse, the housekeeper went in to get the incense, and the two little maids were waiting at the door.Unexpectedly, the butler had only entered for a while, when suddenly there was a loud shout from the butler.
The yelling scared the two maids outside, and they rushed in, only to see an even more frightening scene.
The butler had died in the warehouse.
There were still candles burning in the warehouse, which had been lit when the housekeeper first came in.With the faint light of the candles, the room is bright and dark, making people unbearably nervous.
The butler fell to the ground with a sharp dagger stuck in his heart, and his clothes were stained red with blood.
The moment the little maids rushed in, they seemed to see the butler's eyes move, but it seemed to be an illusion.
The butler had already died, his eyes were wide open, and he was staring straight at the front window, as if the murderer who suddenly attacked him was standing there just now, or escaped from there.
It's just that the window is clearly locked.
The windows were obviously locked from the inside.
The little maids screamed in fright on the spot, and one timid one threw the lantern and sat down next to the butler's corpse.
When the other servant girls heard the screams and ran in, they all looked at the dying butler in horror and disbelief.
The news that the housekeeper had been killed spread immediately, and it didn't take a moment for almost everyone in Zhuxue Villa to know the news.Even Lu Shen, who was locked in the firewood room, heard about it. Lu Shen shouted that the murderer was not himself, and that the murderer had killed again.
When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked, and they were so scared that they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Someone killed the butler in an instant, and Lu Shen, who was identified as the murderer, was still locked in the firewood room, and it was impossible to kill him.
The murderer not only killed the butler in an instant, but also escaped without a trace in an instant.
The maid who rushed over almost immediately outside the door did not see the murderer at all. The murderer did not escape from the door.
The warehouse was searched up and down, but the murderer who was hiding was not found.
Did the murderer escape through a closed window?Then how did he lock the window from the inside?
What was even more frightening was that the word "ten" was engraved with a knife on the floor beside the butler where he was killed.
The first person died, and there was a "twenty" beside him.
The second person died, and there was a "fifteen" beside him.
Now the third person is dead, and there is a "ten" beside him.
Will it be five next time?
Almost everyone firmly believed at this moment that someone would continue to die here, in Zhuxue Mountain Villa.
Everyone's minds were full of questions, the more they thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. There was no answer in their minds. Finally, someone couldn't help but shouted out, "Could it be a ghost! A ghost killed people!"
The people in Zhuxue Mountain Villa were all startled and frightened. They wanted to go down the mountain immediately, overnight, but the heavy snow was still falling, and there was no way to walk on the mountain road. No matter how careful they were, they would fall down the mountain and fall to their deaths.Everyone was even more fearful and uneasy, being killed by the murderer, or dying in the heavy snow, this was something they didn't want.
Huaishui returned to the room in a daze, there was dim candlelight in the room, just like his heart, beating irregularly, when the cold wind came in, it was almost blown out.This is the candle he just lit, and it was not extinguished when he went out.
There is another figure in the room, sitting at the tea table in the inner room, looking quiet and elegant, drinking tea in a leisurely manner, even if the tea in the pot has cooled down long ago, there is no sense of disobedience at all.
"Father..."
Huaishui came back to his senses, saw the man who suddenly appeared, and whispered.
The man waved at him, and Huaishui obediently walked over.
The man raised his hand and hooked it, hugged Huaishui's waist, and made someone sit sideways on his lap. This action seemed a little ambiguous.
The man pressed the back of Huaishui's neck again, and the two of them pressed their lips together, biting and sucking, and the gentle kiss gradually became more intense.
"Your lips are a bit cold." The man's breathing was a bit rough, he left Huaishui's lips, and said with a smile.
Huaishui opened his lips slightly and panted, "I stood outside for a long time just now."
The man nodded and said, "Are you sleepy?"
Huaishui shook his head, another person died just now, everyone's heart is complicated, and now they don't feel sleepy at all.
The man suddenly stood up holding him, then carried him to the bed, and then pressed him down.
Huaishui was a little surprised, his heart jumped twice, and he was inexplicably scared, so he couldn't help but pushed the man's shoulder and said, "Father."
The man laughed softly, leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead, lips, and then on his neck with a beautiful curvature.
Huaishui's heart beat faster, but the man didn't continue, just pressed against his side neck, took a deep breath, and said, "Father just wants to kiss you well."
Huaishui couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the man's sleeve, and didn't speak any more.
The candle was already burning and was about to burn out, but now it was completely overwhelmed. With a sound of "huh", the room was completely dark, and there was no light at all.
Neither Huaishui nor the man moved, just maintaining this posture.
Huaishui made a slight sound from his throat, as if he had made a lot of determination, he said, "Father, those people..."
The man finally moved, raised his head, his eyes were bright, always bottomless.He looked down at Huaishui and said, "Do you think I killed those people?"
Huaishui's eyes flicked, but he didn't speak.It's just that on the first day that foster father came here, Huaishui couldn't help but think deeply about what he said.
The man smiled inexplicably, stretched out his hand to caress Huai Shui's face, and said, "Father doesn't like killing people."
This is the man's longest utterance, Huaishui has heard it countless times.
"Though they all deserve to die." The man continued to speak softly.
Huaishui's heart beat twice again, his throat was dry and he couldn't make any sound.
The man continued: "My dear boy, don't be afraid. With your adoptive father by your side, no one can hurt you."
Huaishui opened his eyes wide and nodded stiffly.
The man said, "They're all bloody people, but I don't need to do it."
Huaishui didn't understand what the man meant, but he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't the foster father who killed him.
After a long time, Huai Shui asked, "Do you want to die again?"
The man seemed to be amused by him, and whispered in his ear, saying, "The matter is not over yet."
Huai Shui's breathing became faster, and the man's answer was yes.
The man hugged him, held him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, foster father is here and will protect you."
Huaishui didn't make a sound, but nodded silently.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan also returned to the room.Chu Yuyang went to the scene of the crime just now, the housekeeper died cleanly, there was no flaw in the room, and the maid was very sure that no one left, things seemed to be getting weird.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "What did you find?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "There is no flaw."
"Is it really a ghost?" Zhao Xingduan couldn't help asking.
Chu Yuyang didn't believe this, and said, "Could it be that we overcomplicated things?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "How to say?"
Chu Yuyang said: "In fact, reasoning is just the simplest and most direct process. The weirder it is, the simpler it is. Maybe we were deceived, so we overcomplicated things."
Zhao Xingduan didn't quite understand what Chu Yuyang wanted to say.
Chu Yuyang said: "Inference is actually a process in which the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It's like one plus one equals how much."
Zhao Xingduan said, "Two."
Chu Yuyang burst out laughing, blinked Chunliang's eyes and said, "How many."
Zhao Xingduan reread one side: "Two."
Chu Yuyang laughed until her stomach burst, and said, "How many."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, as if he had come to his senses suddenly, his face turned livid.
Chu Yuyang said: "As I said just now, reasoning is the simplest and most direct process. I didn't ask you whether one plus one equals two. This process is how much one plus one equals, and the answer is what."
Zhao Xingduan always felt that he was being tricked.
Chu Yuyang supported her cheeks and said, "Could it be... the housekeeper committed suicide?"
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, showing a look of surprise.
Chu Yuyang said: "This is the most simple and direct. He went in alone, no one went in, no one came out, but the housekeeper died."
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's not impossible, but what is the reason for his suicide?"
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "I guess the reason should be in the words 'Twenty', 'Fifteen', and 'Ten'. Or are they necessarily related?"
Chu Yuyang frowned in thought, then pushed Zhao Xingduan's shoulder, and asked, "Duan'er, didn't you come to investigate Lu Zhu? Did you find anything? These people were murdered and died in Zhuxue. Villa, I don't think it's a coincidence."
Zhao Xingduan said: "If you put it this way, these people are indeed somewhat connected. They have had business contacts for a long time."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was a little disappointed, and said, "Only business contacts? No personal relationships?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "The business contacts are not particularly frequent, and we hardly meet each other, especially after Lu Zhu built Zhuxue Villa, the business contacts disappeared."
Chu Yuyang said: "Why is this, there is no clue at all."
Zhao Xingduan smiled slightly and said, "But the business dealings are somewhat unusual."
Chu Yuyang's eyes widened, and he said, "I'm out of breath when I speak, I want to suffocate you to death."
Zhao Xingduan glanced at him and said, "Didn't I learn from you?"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Chu Yuyang found that Prince Duan's ability to fight back has improved recently. If this continues, his superior position will be in jeopardy.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Before Zhuxue Villa was built, Lu Zhu, Lu Shen, Zhu Xingchang, and Wei Boping had some business contacts, all of which were not very frequent, but there was a very strange problem."
Chu Yuyang listened carefully, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
Zhao Xingduan continued: "I asked someone to check. Their business looks normal on the surface, but after looking at the books carefully, you will find that the problem is too big. Lu Zhu once bought a batch of goods from Wei Boping. It's just ordinary silk, which can be regarded as high-quality silk, but the price is more than ten times higher than the silk used in the palace. Lu Shen also bought rice from Lu Zhu several times, and the price was ridiculously high. Several people are all like this, but this kind of business has been done many times, although it is not frequent, but the amount of money transactions is very large."
Chu Yuyang suddenly patted the table and said, "Are they laundering money?"
Chu Yuyang groaned again, and said, "Now that Wei Boping and Zhu Xingchang are both dead, Lu Zhu and Lu Shen may be in danger. Could it be that the butler died because he knew about Lu Zhu's business dealings? Duan Er Duan Er , let's go quickly and find Lu Shen, he is still locked in the firewood room, what if someone wants to take the opportunity to kill him, what should we do?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, I'll let my followers watch Lu Shen."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Well, that's fine. I don't know if Duan'er's entourage is as reliable as Duan'er's. Otherwise, let Brother Teng go, I think it's more reliable."
Zhao Xingduan nodded in agreement.
Teng Shan was called over by Zhao Xingduan, and after hearing Chu Yuyang's words, he immediately agreed, and rushed to the firewood room with a few other followers to protect Lu Shen.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The rest, shall we go to Lu Zhu?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Lu Zhu may not necessarily meet us."
"Why?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang said: "He may have a guilty conscience."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and said, "Is he not the murderer's target?"
Chu Yuyang said: "He may be the target of the murderer, but he may also be the murderer."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Have you forgotten? We have guarded the clepsydra for a long time. The murderer with a definite alibi can only be the Lu family who was hospitalized."
Zhao Xingduan immediately remembered that this was the conclusion that Chu Yuyang had drawn before, and said: "Indeed, Lu Zhu had a clear alibi when he was in Zizi, and he was one of those problematic people. If he wants to cover up what happened many years ago, it is indeed possible to kill people. It's just... his old disease has relapsed, he doesn't see anyone all day, and I heard that he can't get out of bed."
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said: "The old disease relapses, and the time for each relapse is just right. Sometimes it is the best way to get rid of the crime, otherwise there would not be so many people vying to be mentally ill. Ah. If he is pretending to be sick, he will not arouse suspicion, and he can kill people more smoothly."
Zhao Xingduan frowned, thinking about how to find out whether Lu Zhu was pretending to be sick.
Chu Yuyang said, "Why don't we go find Lu Zhiyi."
"Lu Zhiyi?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "Yes, isn't Lu Zhiyi Lu Zhu's grandson? We can use him to trick him indirectly. By the way, we can trick Lu Zhu to see if he is the murderer."
Zhao Xingduan didn't know exactly what Chu Yuyang was going to do, but he agreed anyway.
Chu Yuyang said: "Let me be alone. Your martial arts are so good that people will subconsciously be wary. Look how harmless I am."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Chu Yuyang did have red lips and white teeth, and a harmless and innocent look on his face. In fact, he is definitely the most aggressive, and his white teeth can make people vomit blood.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "I'm worried."
Chu Yuyang said shyly, "Duan'er, are you worried about me? I knew Duan'er that you were the best for me."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
In the end, Chu Yuyang went to find Lu Zhiyi alone.But Zhao Xingduan was worried, if Lu Zhu was really the murderer, then Lu Zhiyi might be an accomplice.Zhao Xingduan didn't go with Chu Yuyang explicitly, but chased after him secretly.Anyway, with Zhao Xingduan's martial arts, there is probably no one in this villa who has better martial arts than him.
It's been a long time, although no one in the villa can sleep peacefully, but all the doors and windows are closed, and there is only the patrolling courtyard outside, and there is no one else.
Trembling, Chu Yuyang ran all the way to the main courtyard and ran to Lu Zhiyi's room.
Lu Zhiyi lives in the main courtyard, but the main courtyard is divided into many small courtyards. Lu Zhiyi has a separate small courtyard, and there is a nursing courtyard at the entrance of the courtyard.
The nurse was stunned when he saw the person, and asked, "Mr. Chu, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
Chu Yuyang is not well-known in Zhuxue Mountain Villa, but the nursing home knew him, because Lu Zhiyi had a good attitude towards him before and entrusted him to find the murderer, so the nursing home treated him a little more politely.
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm here to find Master Lu, can you let me in?"
The nurse was in a dilemma for a while, and said, "It's...it's too late, Mr. Chu, if the matter is not too urgent, why not come back tomorrow?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "Although it's not too urgent, I must tell Mr. Lu now."
The nurse was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head, thinking when did he have to talk nonsense in the dark and dark?
When the nurse thought about it, he suddenly lost his mind.Looking at this Mr. Chu again, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his skin looks dewy, and he has big eyes, so good-looking that it makes one's heart itch uncontrollably.
The nurse's eyes widened. Could it be that Mr. Chu and the owner of the young village have... that kind of relationship?
The owner of Shaozhuang has a good character and has always kept himself clean. There are two concubines in the yard, and they don't care much about female sex. It turns out that they like men.Nursing courtyard has a suddenly realized expression on his face.
Before the Nursing House was in Zhuxue Mountain Villa, it was also on duty at the homes of other rich people.It's a poor thing for a rich family nowadays not to have a few beautiful teenagers at home.
In fact, this is more or less caused by the current situation.The current emperor is Zhao Xingduan's elder brother, Zhao Xingde, and the first emperor was Zhao Xingduan's father. The first emperor passed away ten years ago, when Zhao Xingduan was only a teenager.
Most of the emperors were self-willed and suspicious by nature, and the former emperor was indeed like this, and he was extremely suspicious, and he didn't trust the people around him very much, especially the ministers.It is his taboo that the meritorious deeds surpass the master, and the King Hao back then was a barb in the heart of the former emperor.
Not to mention King Hao, even if there were some loyal ministers who assisted him, the former emperor would trust him six to seven points at most.
Suspicion has brought many consequences. Some loyal ministers are well-behaved, but they were dismissed and investigated for trivial matters, and even imprisoned and convicted.In this way, the family members of the criminal ministers will also be punished, and both men and women will be treated as untouchable slaves.
The status of untouchable slaves is really humble, and those who look better are taken into the mansion by the rich for fun. Naturally, there are men and women among them. After a long time, it is not surprising that there are a few beautiful men in the backyard.
Although the first emperor passed away ten years ago, everyone has become accustomed to such things.
Just when the nursing home was in a dilemma and thinking wildly, there was a sudden voice in the courtyard, it was Lu Zhiyi who came out of the room and asked, "Who is outside?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuyang quickly said, "Master Shao, I'm Chu Yuyang, and I have something to tell you."
In the middle of the night, Chu Yuyang came looking for him suddenly. Lu Zhiyi felt that Chu Yuyang must have got some clues, so he immediately went up to him and said, "Mr. Chu, it's too cold here, follow me quickly." I'll go into the house and talk."
Watching the owner of the young village hurriedly take the man away, the nurse confirmed his guess in his heart.
Zhao Xingduan hid in the dark, when he saw Lu Zhiyi coming out of the house, he immediately turned over and went into the yard, but no one noticed him.Zhao Xingduan moved lightly and quickly, he had already opened the door of Lu Zhiyi's room, before they came back, he went in quietly, and first ambushed in Lu Zhiyi's room.
Lu Zhiyi didn't know that someone had entered his room, so he led Chu Yuyang in, closed the door, and asked, "Did Mr. Chu find anything?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm here to remind Mr. Lu to be careful."
Lu Zhiyi said: "What? Tell me to be careful? Why?"
Chu Yuyang rubbed his hands, and Lu Zhiyi immediately said: "Mr. Chu sit down first, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I just made hot tea, Mr. Chu has a cup to warm up first."
As Lu Zhiyi said, he hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Yuyang, and brought it to him.
"Thank you." Chu Yuyang took two sips from the teacup and felt much warmer immediately.
The tea was still boiling hot, and it steamed Chu Yuyang's long eyelashes, making them look thick and dense.Chu Yuyang took off his cloak, and the warmth in the room made his face, which was already pale from the cold, become much rosier.
Lu Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment, and felt that Chu Yuyang was really good-looking, but it was not just that good-looking. Lu Zhiyi liked his temperament, especially when he was talking, he was always smiling.As long as Lu Zhiyi can remember, he will live in Zhuxue Villa more often.
Zhao Xingduan felt that Chu Yuyang was the culprit for his wild thoughts, and it was Chu Yuyang's endless chirping in his ears, so he had hallucinations.
Zhao Xingduan felt that, upon closer inspection, Chu Yuyang was sometimes quite... likable?
The watchman tonight is not the previous two, but the third watchman who has never met.He came on time, and then went into the room to rest for a while, and then went out with the tools for the watch.
Chu Yuyang heard the watchman knock on the clapper as he walked, and shouted: "It's a watch at Xu time, the sky is dry and the things are dry, be careful of the candles."
Then the watchmen walked farther and farther. They lay on the roof and looked farther away. The watchmen really followed the previous route.
After more than a cup of tea, the watchman came back. He seemed to be terribly cold. He rubbed his hands in the cold, stomped his feet and cursed a bad word, then opened the door and walked into the room.
The watchmen rested in the house for a while, and went to patrol again with tools.The second watch of Haishi also passed like this.
After the second watch of Haishi, almost no one left the house, and everyone was going to sleep in the cold weather.The watchman came back after walking around a few times, then hid in the house and didn't come out for a long time.
Chu Yuyang listened with his ears upright, but couldn't hear anything, the wind was whistling in his ears, so he raised his elbow and poked Zhao Xingduan on his body.Turning her head close to his ear, she asked in a low voice, "Why is there no movement inside?"
Zhao Xingduan came back to his senses after being poked by him, but Chu Yuyang leaned close to his ear, and the hot breath from his breath made Zhao Xingduan's brain a little hot, so he couldn't hear what he said clearly.
It took Zhao Xingduan a long time before he said, "I'm asleep, and I'm snoring."
Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "I slept so fast, even better than me."
Chu Yuyang whispered again: "Why don't you see the murderer come and do some tricks? Could it be that he's trying to startle the snake?"
Zhao Xingduan felt a little hot in his ears, coughed lightly, concealed his abnormality, and lowered his voice, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang immediately pursed her mouth, covered her lips with her index finger, and said, "Don't cough indiscriminately, what if someone overhears you?"
Zhao Xingduan was stunned, not because of Chu Yuyang's words, but because of Chu Yuyang's unintentional silence, his lips pursed slightly, if his fingers were ignored, it would be like inviting a kiss...
Chu Yuyang was the one lying on the bottom, and he wore a lot of clothes, so it was actually very difficult to turn around.He twisted so much that his neck was about to break, and found that Zhao Xingduan ignored him, and didn't reply after saying a word, thinking that Zhao Xingduan was disgusted with him, so he turned back.
But Chu Yuyang is not a person who is easily discouraged. After a while, he turned around with a smile and said in a low voice, "Duaner Duaner, your voice is also very nice."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
The few deep breaths that Prince Duan just took were in vain.
The watchman fell asleep, and no suspicious person appeared. Chu Yuyang was lying on her stomach, and she was about to freeze into brittle ice. She felt that even if Zhao Xingduan protected her from the wind, it was still terribly cold, and the blood all over her body It's about to freeze.It's a cold day, and I can't do too much movement. When I have nothing to do, my eyelids get heavy and I want to sleep.
When Zhao Xingduan heard it, Chu Yuyang's breathing became longer and slower, as if she was about to fall asleep.Sleeping in such a cold, it is a good thing to provoke the wind and cold, don't let it freeze to death and make a big fuss.
Seeing that it was almost three o'clock, there was movement in the house, and the watchman seemed to have woken up, and he had already started to go out of the house with tools.
Zhao Xingduan hugged Chu Yuyang's waist, hugged him horizontally, then raised his breath, and easily launched light kung fu from the roof, stepping on a branch covered with thick white snow next to him, using his strength to leap He was so angry that he had already left the watchman's roof between the ups and downs.
Chu Yuyang felt dazed, as if she was lying in the clouds, floating around.He opened his eyes and took a look, only to realize after a long while that he was no longer on the roof, but lying on the bed in the room.
Chu Yuyang struggled to sit up and said, "What's going on? How did we come back? Am I dreaming?"
Zhao Xingduan said, "It's time."
Chu Yuyang blinked her sleepy eyes, and after a while, she heard the voice of the watchman yelling for three quarters.
Chu Yuyang said, "Didn't the suspicious person show up?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head.
Chu Yuyang was a little disappointed, and said, "Could it be that I was wrong?"
Zhao Xingduan covered him with the quilt and said, "Warm up first before we talk."
Chu Yuyang was indeed very cold, so cold that he no longer knew it was cold, his hands and feet were cold, so cold that he was numb.
Chu Yuyang hugged the quilt, smiled and said, "If Duan'er hugs me, I will be warmer."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, Chu Yuyang was like this, he always liked to take advantage of things, he never seemed serious.
There was no unnecessary expression on Zhao Xingduan's face, he suddenly sat on the edge of the bed, then pulled away Chu Yuyang's quilt, put his arms in his arms, and wrapped the quilt around the two of them.
Chu Yuyang was dumbfounded all of a sudden, staring at two big round eyes, her face was dumbfounded, her mouth grew big, and she looked at Zhao Xingduan who was close at hand.
No matter how good Chu Yuyang was at ordinary times, he didn't have a single word now.
It took Chu Yuyang a long time to react, she still kept her staring expression, stammered, and asked, "You, what are you doing?"
"Hold you to keep warm." Prince Duan said concisely.
Chu Yuyang still stared and said, "Are you really Duaner?"
Looking at his surprised expression, Zhao Xingduan felt extremely benefited in his heart, he did not expect Chu Yuyang to have such an expression of being frightened.
Zhao Xingduan simply grabbed the quilt with one hand to prevent the quilt from slipping off them.The other hand touched Chu Yuyang's waist, hooked and twitched his fingers, and successfully pulled off his belt, and then went to untie his inner belt.
Chu Yuyang subconsciously pressed Zhao Xingduan's hand, and immediately his face turned red, and the pink color spread to his ears and neck. If the quilt wasn't wrapped too tightly, he might be able to see the delicate collarbone and fair skin. His chest was also stained with a layer of pink.
Chu Yuyang stammered even more, and asked, "What are you doing?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "I heard that it will be warmer if you take off your clothes and hug each other for warmth."
The pink on Chu Yuyang's face turned into sauce red, and her heartbeat was unbelievably fast, Zhao Xingduan's hearing was so good that he could hear clearly.
Looking at his reaction, Zhao Xingduan couldn't hold back his serious face, and finally he couldn't hold back, and laughed in a low voice.
Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, and later realized that she had been played by Zhao Xingduan.But even so, his face was still very red, and with a quick struggle, he got out of Zhao Xingduan's arms, and kicked him unwillingly.
Zhao Xingduan's skill, how can he be kicked, he dodged sideways, raised his hand, and let his leg pass over his shoulder.
Not long after Chu Yuyang came back from the outside, his body was still not very flexible from the cold, and he was a little cramped when he was lifted too high by Zhao Xingduan. With a last push, he supported his body.
But in this way, Chu Yuyang's leg rested on Zhao Xingduan's shoulder...
This posture seems to be doing some kind of intense exercise...
Chu Yuyang was stunned immediately, and her facial expression was extremely tangled.
Zhao Xingduan was also taken aback for a moment, and quickly stopped the evil thoughts that were growing wantonly in his mind, and put his legs off his shoulders.
Chu Yuyang still had a troubled expression on her face, bit her lip, stretched her arms while lying half-lying, trying to reach her own legs, but her posture was stiff and she looked a little distorted.
Chu Yuyang said: "I have cramps..."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Zhao Xingduan was a little helpless, but he still asked kindly: "Where? Let me rub it for you."
Chu Yuyang pointed to her thigh.
Zhao Xingduan reached out and rubbed his legs vigorously, Chu Yuyang immediately yelled: "It hurts, it hurts me to death, wait, don't press too hard..."
Zhao Xingduan saw how he was screaming, so he didn't dare to use any more force, and said: "It will be fine if you rub your tendons, if you don't rub it, it will keep hurting."
"lighter……"
Chu Yuyang's pitiful appearance made Zhao Xingduan afraid to do anything.
Zhao Xingduan had no choice but to rub him slowly, asking while rubbing, "Is it better?"
"Hmm..." Chu Yuyang nodded in satisfaction.
Zhao Xingduan rubbed his thighs with his hands. Even though the pants were behind him, the hand felt surprisingly good.
Chu Yuyang is not so thin that she is full of bones, her body is still a bit fleshy, her thighs are soft and elastic.
Zhao Xingduan suddenly felt that the room was actually a bit hot.
"Well, it's comfortable..." Chu Yuyang rolled his throat, sighed, and said, "Duaner, your skills are not bad."
Zhao Xingduan suddenly had a pain in his forehead, stood up and got out of bed, and said, "I'm going to get someone to get hot water, and I'm going to sleep."
Chu Yuyang had no objection, he had no harvest all night, and he was very sleepy.
Before the hot water came, it suddenly became noisy outside.
Chu Yuyang asked, "What's going on?"
Zhao Xingduan shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Chu Yuyang ran to the door, opened a small gap, and poked her head out to have a look.
It happened that Lin Bailiu was outside, so he probably came out to check the situation after hearing the sound.
Chu Yuyang called out: "Bai Liu."
Lin Bailiu turned around when he heard the voice, and when he saw Chu Yuyang, he blushed a little, felt a little embarrassed, and his eyes flickered.
Chu Yuyang blinked her eyes in doubt, thinking that her charm value has already exploded without knowing it?Why did Lin Bailiu take a look at himself, and his face turned red like this.
Chu Yuyang waved to him and said, "What's going on outside?"
Lin Bailiu said: "I don't know, but I heard that something happened, it seems to be in the main courtyard."
Chu Yuyang was a little surprised, then nodded.
"Bai Liu."
They were talking, Teng Shan came in from the outside, and seeing Lin Bailiu standing in front of Chu Yuyang's door, he called him.
Teng Shan was a little surprised when he saw Chu Yuyang sticking his head out from the crack of the door, and asked, "Mr. Chu, why are you here?"
Chu Yuyang definitely had a more surprised expression than Teng Shan, and asked, "This is my room, of course I'm here."
Teng Shan said, "No...that's not what I meant. I thought...Mr. Chu should still be in bed now...cough."
Lin Bailiu immediately poked Teng Shan to tell him not to continue talking, his face was flushed red.
Chu Yuyang was confused, what kind of riddle they were playing.
Huaishui also came out of the house over there, seeing Chu Yuyang also with a surprised expression.
Chu Yuyang immediately rushed out from the crack of the door, then grabbed Huaishui's arm, and said, "Huaishui, tell me, what expression do you have?"
Huaishui was a little embarrassed and said, "Ahem, it's nothing."
"I don't believe it." Chu Yuyang said righteously, "You are so narrow-minded, you still want to deceive yourself into being a teacher!"
Huaishui had no choice but to be questioned by him, fearing that he would call other people over, so he whispered: "The voice in Master's room was a bit loud just now, I thought Master...should..."
Huaishui finally couldn't speak anymore, his skin was not that thick.
Chu Yuyang was taken aback for a moment, thinking to herself what were she doing just now?
The sound insulation of the room is just so-so. After all, there are no iron doors, all wooden doors, and everyone knows martial arts.
Just now Chu Yuyang had a cramp, and was screaming in pain in the room, and everyone heard the scream.Not only that, the few words Chu Yuyang yelled made everyone misunderstand, thinking that he and Zhao Xingduan were making great progress and had already rolled on the bed to do that kind of thing.
Chu Yuyang's face suddenly changed, but he didn't look shy, because Chu Yuyang's skin thickness is unlimited.However, Chu Yuyang's eyeballs are rolling rapidly, and he has already thought of countless ways to take revenge in his mind, "revenge" these cranky people.
At this time, Zhao Xingduan pushed the door and came out from the house. Although he heard everyone's words clearly, Prince Duan is also a person who has gone through a lot of wind and waves.
Zhao Xingduan looked calm and said, "Something happened outside."
Teng Shan said: "I went out to inquire just now, and the boy said that something happened in the main courtyard, and the housekeeper died."
"What?" Lin Bailiu opened his eyes wide in surprise, and said, "He died again?"
Chu Yuyang asked, "How did you die?"
Teng Shan told them what he found out.
It was windy and cold today, and Lu Zhu's condition deteriorated a bit. After eating, he asked the doctor to see him, and then he took medicine and performed acupuncture.The housekeeper and Lu Zhiyi had always been by the old owner's side, and they never left after dinner.
While waiting for Kuaizishi, Lu Zhu finally got better, said that he was sleepy and wanted to sleep, and asked everyone to go back.Lu Zhiyi was tired all day, so he went back to his room to rest.The housekeeper was about to go back to his room to rest, but the tranquilizing incense burnt in the old owner's house burned out, so the housekeeper went to the storeroom to get tranquilizing incense.
The butler left the old owner Lu's room, accompanied by two maids who were responsible for lighting the lanterns. They went to the warehouse not far away to pick up things, and they were going to go back after taking them.
As a result, when they reached the door of the warehouse, the housekeeper went in to get the incense, and the two little maids were waiting at the door.Unexpectedly, the butler had only entered for a while, when suddenly there was a loud shout from the butler.
The yelling scared the two maids outside, and they rushed in, only to see an even more frightening scene.
The butler had died in the warehouse.
There were still candles burning in the warehouse, which had been lit when the housekeeper first came in.With the faint light of the candles, the room is bright and dark, making people unbearably nervous.
The butler fell to the ground with a sharp dagger stuck in his heart, and his clothes were stained red with blood.
The moment the little maids rushed in, they seemed to see the butler's eyes move, but it seemed to be an illusion.
The butler had already died, his eyes were wide open, and he was staring straight at the front window, as if the murderer who suddenly attacked him was standing there just now, or escaped from there.
It's just that the window is clearly locked.
The windows were obviously locked from the inside.
The little maids screamed in fright on the spot, and one timid one threw the lantern and sat down next to the butler's corpse.
When the other servant girls heard the screams and ran in, they all looked at the dying butler in horror and disbelief.
The news that the housekeeper had been killed spread immediately, and it didn't take a moment for almost everyone in Zhuxue Villa to know the news.Even Lu Shen, who was locked in the firewood room, heard about it. Lu Shen shouted that the murderer was not himself, and that the murderer had killed again.
When everyone heard the news, they were all shocked, and they were so scared that they didn't feel sleepy at all.
Someone killed the butler in an instant, and Lu Shen, who was identified as the murderer, was still locked in the firewood room, and it was impossible to kill him.
The murderer not only killed the butler in an instant, but also escaped without a trace in an instant.
The maid who rushed over almost immediately outside the door did not see the murderer at all. The murderer did not escape from the door.
The warehouse was searched up and down, but the murderer who was hiding was not found.
Did the murderer escape through a closed window?Then how did he lock the window from the inside?
What was even more frightening was that the word "ten" was engraved with a knife on the floor beside the butler where he was killed.
The first person died, and there was a "twenty" beside him.
The second person died, and there was a "fifteen" beside him.
Now the third person is dead, and there is a "ten" beside him.
Will it be five next time?
Almost everyone firmly believed at this moment that someone would continue to die here, in Zhuxue Mountain Villa.
Everyone's minds were full of questions, the more they thought about it, the more complicated it became, and the more they thought about it, the more frightened they became. There was no answer in their minds. Finally, someone couldn't help but shouted out, "Could it be a ghost! A ghost killed people!"
The people in Zhuxue Mountain Villa were all startled and frightened. They wanted to go down the mountain immediately, overnight, but the heavy snow was still falling, and there was no way to walk on the mountain road. No matter how careful they were, they would fall down the mountain and fall to their deaths.Everyone was even more fearful and uneasy, being killed by the murderer, or dying in the heavy snow, this was something they didn't want.
Huaishui returned to the room in a daze, there was dim candlelight in the room, just like his heart, beating irregularly, when the cold wind came in, it was almost blown out.This is the candle he just lit, and it was not extinguished when he went out.
There is another figure in the room, sitting at the tea table in the inner room, looking quiet and elegant, drinking tea in a leisurely manner, even if the tea in the pot has cooled down long ago, there is no sense of disobedience at all.
"Father..."
Huaishui came back to his senses, saw the man who suddenly appeared, and whispered.
The man waved at him, and Huaishui obediently walked over.
The man raised his hand and hooked it, hugged Huaishui's waist, and made someone sit sideways on his lap. This action seemed a little ambiguous.
The man pressed the back of Huaishui's neck again, and the two of them pressed their lips together, biting and sucking, and the gentle kiss gradually became more intense.
"Your lips are a bit cold." The man's breathing was a bit rough, he left Huaishui's lips, and said with a smile.
Huaishui opened his lips slightly and panted, "I stood outside for a long time just now."
The man nodded and said, "Are you sleepy?"
Huaishui shook his head, another person died just now, everyone's heart is complicated, and now they don't feel sleepy at all.
The man suddenly stood up holding him, then carried him to the bed, and then pressed him down.
Huaishui was a little surprised, his heart jumped twice, and he was inexplicably scared, so he couldn't help but pushed the man's shoulder and said, "Father."
The man laughed softly, leaned over and placed a kiss on his forehead, lips, and then on his neck with a beautiful curvature.
Huaishui's heart beat faster, but the man didn't continue, just pressed against his side neck, took a deep breath, and said, "Father just wants to kiss you well."
Huaishui couldn't help reaching out and grabbing the man's sleeve, and didn't speak any more.
The candle was already burning and was about to burn out, but now it was completely overwhelmed. With a sound of "huh", the room was completely dark, and there was no light at all.
Neither Huaishui nor the man moved, just maintaining this posture.
Huaishui made a slight sound from his throat, as if he had made a lot of determination, he said, "Father, those people..."
The man finally moved, raised his head, his eyes were bright, always bottomless.He looked down at Huaishui and said, "Do you think I killed those people?"
Huaishui's eyes flicked, but he didn't speak.It's just that on the first day that foster father came here, Huaishui couldn't help but think deeply about what he said.
The man smiled inexplicably, stretched out his hand to caress Huai Shui's face, and said, "Father doesn't like killing people."
This is the man's longest utterance, Huaishui has heard it countless times.
"Though they all deserve to die." The man continued to speak softly.
Huaishui's heart beat twice again, his throat was dry and he couldn't make any sound.
The man continued: "My dear boy, don't be afraid. With your adoptive father by your side, no one can hurt you."
Huaishui opened his eyes wide and nodded stiffly.
The man said, "They're all bloody people, but I don't need to do it."
Huaishui didn't understand what the man meant, but he subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief, it wasn't the foster father who killed him.
After a long time, Huai Shui asked, "Do you want to die again?"
The man seemed to be amused by him, and whispered in his ear, saying, "The matter is not over yet."
Huai Shui's breathing became faster, and the man's answer was yes.
The man hugged him, held him in his arms, patted his back lightly, and said, "Don't be afraid, foster father is here and will protect you."
Huaishui didn't make a sound, but nodded silently.
Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan also returned to the room.Chu Yuyang went to the scene of the crime just now, the housekeeper died cleanly, there was no flaw in the room, and the maid was very sure that no one left, things seemed to be getting weird.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "What did you find?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "There is no flaw."
"Is it really a ghost?" Zhao Xingduan couldn't help asking.
Chu Yuyang didn't believe this, and said, "Could it be that we overcomplicated things?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "How to say?"
Chu Yuyang said: "In fact, reasoning is just the simplest and most direct process. The weirder it is, the simpler it is. Maybe we were deceived, so we overcomplicated things."
Zhao Xingduan didn't quite understand what Chu Yuyang wanted to say.
Chu Yuyang said: "Inference is actually a process in which the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment. It's like one plus one equals how much."
Zhao Xingduan said, "Two."
Chu Yuyang burst out laughing, blinked Chunliang's eyes and said, "How many."
Zhao Xingduan reread one side: "Two."
Chu Yuyang laughed until her stomach burst, and said, "How many."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback for a moment, as if he had come to his senses suddenly, his face turned livid.
Chu Yuyang said: "As I said just now, reasoning is the simplest and most direct process. I didn't ask you whether one plus one equals two. This process is how much one plus one equals, and the answer is what."
Zhao Xingduan always felt that he was being tricked.
Chu Yuyang supported her cheeks and said, "Could it be... the housekeeper committed suicide?"
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, showing a look of surprise.
Chu Yuyang said: "This is the most simple and direct. He went in alone, no one went in, no one came out, but the housekeeper died."
Zhao Xingduan said: "It's not impossible, but what is the reason for his suicide?"
Chu Yuyang blinked and said, "I guess the reason should be in the words 'Twenty', 'Fifteen', and 'Ten'. Or are they necessarily related?"
Chu Yuyang frowned in thought, then pushed Zhao Xingduan's shoulder, and asked, "Duan'er, didn't you come to investigate Lu Zhu? Did you find anything? These people were murdered and died in Zhuxue. Villa, I don't think it's a coincidence."
Zhao Xingduan said: "If you put it this way, these people are indeed somewhat connected. They have had business contacts for a long time."
"Ah?" Chu Yuyang was a little disappointed, and said, "Only business contacts? No personal relationships?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "The business contacts are not particularly frequent, and we hardly meet each other, especially after Lu Zhu built Zhuxue Villa, the business contacts disappeared."
Chu Yuyang said: "Why is this, there is no clue at all."
Zhao Xingduan smiled slightly and said, "But the business dealings are somewhat unusual."
Chu Yuyang's eyes widened, and he said, "I'm out of breath when I speak, I want to suffocate you to death."
Zhao Xingduan glanced at him and said, "Didn't I learn from you?"
Chu Yuyang: "..."
Chu Yuyang found that Prince Duan's ability to fight back has improved recently. If this continues, his superior position will be in jeopardy.
Zhao Xingduan said: "Before Zhuxue Villa was built, Lu Zhu, Lu Shen, Zhu Xingchang, and Wei Boping had some business contacts, all of which were not very frequent, but there was a very strange problem."
Chu Yuyang listened carefully, staring at him with big eyes without blinking.
Zhao Xingduan continued: "I asked someone to check. Their business looks normal on the surface, but after looking at the books carefully, you will find that the problem is too big. Lu Zhu once bought a batch of goods from Wei Boping. It's just ordinary silk, which can be regarded as high-quality silk, but the price is more than ten times higher than the silk used in the palace. Lu Shen also bought rice from Lu Zhu several times, and the price was ridiculously high. Several people are all like this, but this kind of business has been done many times, although it is not frequent, but the amount of money transactions is very large."
Chu Yuyang suddenly patted the table and said, "Are they laundering money?"
Chu Yuyang groaned again, and said, "Now that Wei Boping and Zhu Xingchang are both dead, Lu Zhu and Lu Shen may be in danger. Could it be that the butler died because he knew about Lu Zhu's business dealings? Duan Er Duan Er , let's go quickly and find Lu Shen, he is still locked in the firewood room, what if someone wants to take the opportunity to kill him, what should we do?"
Zhao Xingduan said: "Don't worry, I'll let my followers watch Lu Shen."
Chu Yuyang nodded and said, "Well, that's fine. I don't know if Duan'er's entourage is as reliable as Duan'er's. Otherwise, let Brother Teng go, I think it's more reliable."
Zhao Xingduan nodded in agreement.
Teng Shan was called over by Zhao Xingduan, and after hearing Chu Yuyang's words, he immediately agreed, and rushed to the firewood room with a few other followers to protect Lu Shen.
Zhao Xingduan said: "The rest, shall we go to Lu Zhu?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Lu Zhu may not necessarily meet us."
"Why?" Zhao Xingduan said.
Chu Yuyang said: "He may have a guilty conscience."
"What do you mean?" Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and said, "Is he not the murderer's target?"
Chu Yuyang said: "He may be the target of the murderer, but he may also be the murderer."
Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, and asked, "How did you come to this conclusion?"
Chu Yuyang said: "Have you forgotten? We have guarded the clepsydra for a long time. The murderer with a definite alibi can only be the Lu family who was hospitalized."
Zhao Xingduan immediately remembered that this was the conclusion that Chu Yuyang had drawn before, and said: "Indeed, Lu Zhu had a clear alibi when he was in Zizi, and he was one of those problematic people. If he wants to cover up what happened many years ago, it is indeed possible to kill people. It's just... his old disease has relapsed, he doesn't see anyone all day, and I heard that he can't get out of bed."
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said: "The old disease relapses, and the time for each relapse is just right. Sometimes it is the best way to get rid of the crime, otherwise there would not be so many people vying to be mentally ill. Ah. If he is pretending to be sick, he will not arouse suspicion, and he can kill people more smoothly."
Zhao Xingduan frowned, thinking about how to find out whether Lu Zhu was pretending to be sick.
Chu Yuyang said, "Why don't we go find Lu Zhiyi."
"Lu Zhiyi?" Zhao Xingduan asked.
Chu Yuyang nodded, and said, "Yes, isn't Lu Zhiyi Lu Zhu's grandson? We can use him to trick him indirectly. By the way, we can trick Lu Zhu to see if he is the murderer."
Zhao Xingduan didn't know exactly what Chu Yuyang was going to do, but he agreed anyway.
Chu Yuyang said: "Let me be alone. Your martial arts are so good that people will subconsciously be wary. Look how harmless I am."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
Chu Yuyang did have red lips and white teeth, and a harmless and innocent look on his face. In fact, he is definitely the most aggressive, and his white teeth can make people vomit blood.
Zhao Xingduan frowned and said, "I'm worried."
Chu Yuyang said shyly, "Duan'er, are you worried about me? I knew Duan'er that you were the best for me."
Zhao Xingduan: "..."
In the end, Chu Yuyang went to find Lu Zhiyi alone.But Zhao Xingduan was worried, if Lu Zhu was really the murderer, then Lu Zhiyi might be an accomplice.Zhao Xingduan didn't go with Chu Yuyang explicitly, but chased after him secretly.Anyway, with Zhao Xingduan's martial arts, there is probably no one in this villa who has better martial arts than him.
It's been a long time, although no one in the villa can sleep peacefully, but all the doors and windows are closed, and there is only the patrolling courtyard outside, and there is no one else.
Trembling, Chu Yuyang ran all the way to the main courtyard and ran to Lu Zhiyi's room.
Lu Zhiyi lives in the main courtyard, but the main courtyard is divided into many small courtyards. Lu Zhiyi has a separate small courtyard, and there is a nursing courtyard at the entrance of the courtyard.
The nurse was stunned when he saw the person, and asked, "Mr. Chu, it's so late, what are you doing here?"
Chu Yuyang is not well-known in Zhuxue Mountain Villa, but the nursing home knew him, because Lu Zhiyi had a good attitude towards him before and entrusted him to find the murderer, so the nursing home treated him a little more politely.
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm here to find Master Lu, can you let me in?"
The nurse was in a dilemma for a while, and said, "It's...it's too late, Mr. Chu, if the matter is not too urgent, why not come back tomorrow?"
Chu Yuyang shook her head and said, "Although it's not too urgent, I must tell Mr. Lu now."
The nurse was stunned for a moment, scratching the back of his head, thinking when did he have to talk nonsense in the dark and dark?
When the nurse thought about it, he suddenly lost his mind.Looking at this Mr. Chu again, his lips are red and his teeth are white, his skin looks dewy, and he has big eyes, so good-looking that it makes one's heart itch uncontrollably.
The nurse's eyes widened. Could it be that Mr. Chu and the owner of the young village have... that kind of relationship?
The owner of Shaozhuang has a good character and has always kept himself clean. There are two concubines in the yard, and they don't care much about female sex. It turns out that they like men.Nursing courtyard has a suddenly realized expression on his face.
Before the Nursing House was in Zhuxue Mountain Villa, it was also on duty at the homes of other rich people.It's a poor thing for a rich family nowadays not to have a few beautiful teenagers at home.
In fact, this is more or less caused by the current situation.The current emperor is Zhao Xingduan's elder brother, Zhao Xingde, and the first emperor was Zhao Xingduan's father. The first emperor passed away ten years ago, when Zhao Xingduan was only a teenager.
Most of the emperors were self-willed and suspicious by nature, and the former emperor was indeed like this, and he was extremely suspicious, and he didn't trust the people around him very much, especially the ministers.It is his taboo that the meritorious deeds surpass the master, and the King Hao back then was a barb in the heart of the former emperor.
Not to mention King Hao, even if there were some loyal ministers who assisted him, the former emperor would trust him six to seven points at most.
Suspicion has brought many consequences. Some loyal ministers are well-behaved, but they were dismissed and investigated for trivial matters, and even imprisoned and convicted.In this way, the family members of the criminal ministers will also be punished, and both men and women will be treated as untouchable slaves.
The status of untouchable slaves is really humble, and those who look better are taken into the mansion by the rich for fun. Naturally, there are men and women among them. After a long time, it is not surprising that there are a few beautiful men in the backyard.
Although the first emperor passed away ten years ago, everyone has become accustomed to such things.
Just when the nursing home was in a dilemma and thinking wildly, there was a sudden voice in the courtyard, it was Lu Zhiyi who came out of the room and asked, "Who is outside?"
Upon hearing this, Chu Yuyang quickly said, "Master Shao, I'm Chu Yuyang, and I have something to tell you."
In the middle of the night, Chu Yuyang came looking for him suddenly. Lu Zhiyi felt that Chu Yuyang must have got some clues, so he immediately went up to him and said, "Mr. Chu, it's too cold here, follow me quickly." I'll go into the house and talk."
Watching the owner of the young village hurriedly take the man away, the nurse confirmed his guess in his heart.
Zhao Xingduan hid in the dark, when he saw Lu Zhiyi coming out of the house, he immediately turned over and went into the yard, but no one noticed him.Zhao Xingduan moved lightly and quickly, he had already opened the door of Lu Zhiyi's room, before they came back, he went in quietly, and first ambushed in Lu Zhiyi's room.
Lu Zhiyi didn't know that someone had entered his room, so he led Chu Yuyang in, closed the door, and asked, "Did Mr. Chu find anything?"
Chu Yuyang said: "I'm here to remind Mr. Lu to be careful."
Lu Zhiyi said: "What? Tell me to be careful? Why?"
Chu Yuyang rubbed his hands, and Lu Zhiyi immediately said: "Mr. Chu sit down first, I can't sleep in the middle of the night, I just made hot tea, Mr. Chu has a cup to warm up first."
As Lu Zhiyi said, he hurriedly poured a cup of hot tea for Chu Yuyang, and brought it to him.
"Thank you." Chu Yuyang took two sips from the teacup and felt much warmer immediately.
The tea was still boiling hot, and it steamed Chu Yuyang's long eyelashes, making them look thick and dense.Chu Yuyang took off his cloak, and the warmth in the room made his face, which was already pale from the cold, become much rosier.
Lu Zhiyi was taken aback for a moment, and felt that Chu Yuyang was really good-looking, but it was not just that good-looking. Lu Zhiyi liked his temperament, especially when he was talking, he was always smiling.As long as Lu Zhiyi can remember, he will live in Zhuxue Villa more often.
