Chapter 43 The Man in the Picture 2

hand to lips.

Chu Yuyang immediately withdrew her hands, her face was a little red, and said, "Oh, the pain will disappear immediately after blowing on the end, let's continue talking about the thread."

Zhao Xingduan smiled inexplicably and stopped making trouble with him.

Ke Junyan watched the interaction between the two, although he didn't show surprise, but his eyes were a little deep, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Chu Yuyang poked the railing again with her finger, and said, "There is a mark here."

Zhao Xingduan looked down, and Chu Yuyang pointed to a cut mark, which couldn't be counted as a cut mark, because it was very light and the paint was a little faded, but it was not serious.The railings are not new anymore, and the paint has peeled off to expose the wood in many places. Such traces are still small and really not worth mentioning.

Chu Yuyang twisted the small thread around the railing, and then it got stuck in the mark when it was integrated, and then wrapped the thread around again, and the openings were closed together. The knotted position was actually very suitable.

"Someone tied a thin string here?" Zhao Xingduan said in surprise.

Ke Junyan also took a look.

Chu Yuyang said: "It's just a trick, and it's actually the same as the method of giving the key to the secret room. Someone tied a thin wire here, and then fixed the other end of the thin wire to other places."

Chu Yuyang looked around and said, "I think this place is probably outside the Qi residence."

He pointed to the courtyard wall not far away. They turned Qi's mansion upside down yesterday, but they didn't find Mr. Li's shadow and the painting at all. It is very likely that the painting has been sent outside Qi's house, so No one found out.

Chu Yuyang said: "The other end of the thread is fixed in a relatively low place, and you're done. Someone stole the painting, then ran out, cut the thin thread, and passed the rope of the painting scroll through the thin thread. It will be sent to the place he arranged in advance, and then the thin thread will be thrown away without anyone noticing."

Chu Yuyang pinched the small thread and said: "The mark was probably left when the thin thread was cut off in a hurry. He thought it was hidden, but he didn't expect that there was also a small thread left behind. This time there is a big loophole. gone."

Ke Junyan said: "According to what you mean, Mr. Li stole the painting and transported it away with a thin thread. What about the others? Why did they disappear out of thin air? Could it be that this thin thread was also transported away?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Mrs. Qi, didn't you say that Mr. Li is dead?"

Ke Junyan smiled and said, "That's just my guess."

Chu Yuyang said: "I would like to ask Mrs. Qi, what kind of painting is the stolen painting? Why did Mr. Li suddenly say that they will all die if the painting is not destroyed after seeing it."

Ke Junyan said: "It is not a valuable painting, nor is it a famous work."

"Oh?" Chu Yuyang said.

Ke Junyan said: "If Mr. Chu wants to see it, I can show Mr. Chu."

Zhao Xingduan suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at him coldly.

Chu Yuyang was also taken aback, the painting disappeared, what did Ke Junyan mean by that?Could it be that Ke Junyan stole the painting?

Ke Junyan calmly said with a smile, "Don't misunderstand me. That painting was actually drawn by me. It's just an ordinary picture of snowy plums. I have practiced many pictures. If Mr. Chu wants to see it, I'm here. There are still leftovers, you can show Mr. Chu to have a look."

Chu Yuyang was taken aback, and said, "Did you draw it?"

Ke Junyan nodded and said, "Want to take a look?"

"Please Madam Qi." Chu Yuyang said.

They followed Ke Junyan down from the theater building, and then went to the study room. Sure enough, they saw a lot of calligraphy and paintings hanging in the study room, some by Ke Junyan and some by Qi Zhongting.

The picture of snowy plums that Ke Junyan mentioned was hung on the wall, with Ke Junyan's signature on it.Ke Junyan found many more paintings from the box, and they were all pictures of snow plums, and they all looked alike.

Chu Yuyang picked up the painting to study, but didn't see any clues at all. Ke Junyan is a good painter, and the painting is also beautiful. Why did Mr. Li look at this painting, but said that it could kill them?

This painting obviously has clues.

Ke Junyan said: "If Mr. Chu likes it, I will give this painting to Mr. Chu."

Chu Yuyang was not polite, rolled up the painting, and said, "Then thank you Mrs. Qi."

"You're welcome." Ke Junyan said.

Chu Yuyang turned to leave, but suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, I still have a few words to ask Mrs. Qi."

"Please tell me, Mr. Chu," Ke Junyan said.

Chu Yuyang said: "Mrs. Qi once said that you have a motive for committing the crime."

Ke Junyan calmly said, "Mr. Chu still remembers a joke."

"I can't take it as a joke." Chu Yuyang said, "Especially after knowing that the painting was painted by Mrs. Qi, I feel even more strange."

Ke Junyan smiled and said, "Mr. Chu thinks I'm a murderer?"

Chu Yuyang said, "That's right."

"Then I would like to thank Mr. Chu for his insight." Ke Junyan said.

"However, there is a saying that..." Chu Yuyang said, "Kill someone with a knife."

Ke Junyan calmly said, "I don't understand what Mr. Chu said, can you explain it in more detail?"

Chu Yuyang shook her head, and said calmly, "I haven't figured it out yet."

Ke Junyan said: "After Mr. Chu figured it out, come to me anytime."

"Okay." Chu Yuyang said.

Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan left the study, Zhao Xingduan said, "What do you mean by what you just said?"

Chu Yuyang said: "The painting was drawn by Mrs. Qi. There must be a mystery in this painting, so that Mr. Li will be terrified when he sees it. Mrs. Qi also said frankly that he has motives, so I feel that there is something wrong in this painting. The strangeness is even greater. Mrs. Qi also said with certainty that the person died, and it was not Mr. Li, but "they". Do you believe that he made a slip of the tongue? He obviously knows something else."

"only……"

Chu Yuyang thought for a while and said: "It's just that he is too calm and calm, and I really can't see any flaws. There are two possibilities. The first is that he feels that his plan is very thorough and has no flaws, so he has nothing to fear. The first There are two possibilities, as he said, Mr. Li's disappearance is indeed not caused by him, so he doesn't need to worry at all. But no matter how you say it, it has nothing to do with him. "

Zhao Xingduan nodded.

They were about to turn into the courtyard, when they saw a young servant rushing in, almost fell over, but he had no intention of stopping, and shouted: "Ma'am, Ma'am is not good, Something happened to the young master!"

Ke Junyan was coming out of the study, he closed the door with a hand, ran forward a few steps, and said, "What did you say?"

The young man said in a panic: "The guard who followed the young master came back and said that they encountered a sneak attack and the young master was taken away."

Ke Junyan turned pale immediately, and said, "Where are the people who came back?"

"That's right, it's right at the door. I was injured and asked to be carried in." The boy stammered.

Ke Junyan immediately rushed to the door, Chu Yuyang and Zhao Xingduan were taken aback, and quickly followed.After all, Qi Zhongting went to the old house to get things, so it was strange to be taken away suddenly.

When they reached the door, they saw the nurse in their hands, but the injuries were not serious.

The second aunt also rushed over when she heard the news, crying and shouting as she walked, and said, "Oh, hey, what a crime, why did you ask someone to take Zhong Ting away? If it gets out, my Qi family will lose face." Where do you want to put it? It’s not a joke. Hey, the head of the family has been taken away, and his life and death are unknown. How will the Qi family live? Qi Zhongting is not here. From now on, I have the final say. You have to listen to me, you know? I am Qi Zhongting's elder!"

Ke Junyan didn't have time to pay attention to her, so he inquired carefully about the situation in the nursing home at that time. He was so anxious that he asked someone to bring the horse over immediately, and he wanted to go out to find someone immediately.

Seeing that Ke Junyan ignored her, the second aunt immediately became angry.On weekdays, Qi Zhongting was at him, and even gave him some business for him to take care of. The second aunt couldn't stand it anymore. She thought it would be a miracle for Ke Junyan, an unknown person, to marry into the Qi family. It's too much for them to collect money from the family.

The second aunt always felt that Ke Junyan must have stolen a lot of money from the Qi family behind his back. Others didn't know it, but she knew it in her heart.

"You little bastard!" Seeing Ke Junyan get on the horse, the second aunt rushed over to snatch the reins, and said, "You think you can be arrogant and domineering when Qi Zhongting protects you? You little bastard, you didn't listen." Did you hear what I said? Come down for me, you can’t use this horse, what are you, get out of here, I’ll be with my family... ah!"

Ke Junyan raised his leg and kicked the second aunt's chest fiercely.Although he looked slender and had to wear women's clothes when he entered Qi's house, he was a man anyway, so his strength was naturally much stronger than that of a woman, and Ke Junyan still knew martial arts, not to mention his strength.

Ke Junyan was out of breath, and the second aunt who kicked her was stunned. She fell to the ground to cough, but couldn't stand up.

Ke Junyan said: "If you stop me again, if Qi Zhongting loses one hair, I will break one of your fingers."

After saying that, he raised his horsewhip, whipped it hard, and disappeared quickly.

Chu Yuyang looked at the second aunt who was lying on the ground and said, "Madame Qi said that hair is so easy to break, and you can lose several hairs once you are ripe. What if you lose eleven hairs all at once?" What should I do? I don’t have enough fingers.”

"You!" The second aunt was lifted up by the maids, her face turned blue with anger, and she said, "What are you! How dare you..."

Before she could finish her sentence, she saw Zhao Xingduan's cold gaze, and held back the rest of her sentence in a daze, not daring to say any more.

Chu Yuyang said: "Second Aunt, it doesn't matter who I am, the important thing is that Qi Zhongting disappeared very strangely, don't you think? And you just ran over like a mourner, screaming and walking, and you came in time , the boy who sent the message didn't have a big voice, and everyone in the Qi family knew about it. Why do I think you already knew that something was going to happen to Qi Zhongting? "

"You, you, you..." Second Aunt's expression changed, and she was blocked by Chu Yuyang.As for whether she had tampered with Qi Zhongting, she would not admit it even if she was beaten to death.

Chu Yuyang pulled Zhao Xingduan and said, "Let's look for it too."

Zhao Xingduan nodded, and immediately rode away with Chu Yuyang on a horse.

Qi Zhongting went to the old house to find Lord Qi's relics for them, and now something went wrong, it really caught people off guard, and the pile of things might be gone.

Zhao Xingduan led him on horseback and galloped towards the place where Qi Zhongting's accident happened. After walking not far out of the city, he suddenly saw a white horse tied to a nearby tree, which belonged to Ke Junyan.

Chu Yuyang said, "There it is!"

Zhao Xingduan quickly grabbed the reins and carried Chu Yuyang off the horse.

Chu Yuyang ran over and saw Ke Junyan and the unconscious Qi Zhongting.

"How is Mr. Qi?"

Ke Junyan shook his head and said, "I just fainted, it's okay."

Qi Zhongting suffered some minor injuries, but they didn't look serious. His arm seemed to have been stabbed, but it had been roughly bandaged and tied with a piece of white cloth.

Chu Yuyang looked around and asked strangely, "Why is Mr. Qi here?"

Ke Junyan's face was still a little pale, and he looked a little embarrassed because he was traveling so fast. He shook his head and said, "I don't know. I suddenly saw him lying on the side of the road, so I stopped quickly. He is lying here."

When Ke Junyan said this, although he also had doubts, he was more fortunate.

"Cough cough..."

Qi Zhongting suddenly coughed twice, and slowly opened his eyes, looking extremely weak.

"How are you?" Ke Junyan asked hurriedly.

Qi Zhongting shook his head and said, "It's nothing...why are you here?"

Ke Junyan held his hand and said, "I heard that something happened to you, it scared me to death!"

"I'm fine..." Qi Zhongting was obviously afraid that he would be worried, so he managed to pull himself together.

Zhao Xingduan stepped forward, felt his pulse, and said, "You have been poisoned."

"What?" Ke Junyan opened his eyes wide.

Zhao Xingduan said: "It should be that there is poison on the weapon that scratched you, but don't worry, it has been detoxified."

Chu Yuyang patted her chest and said, "Why are you panting for breath."

But who poisoned Qi Zhongting and then cured it?This feels a little strange.

Chu Yuyang suddenly jumped up and said, "Young Master Qi, have you taken your things yet? Why is there nothing around you?"

Qi Zhongting was taken aback, touched the wound, gasped in pain, and said, "...the things are missing, could it be that he took them away?"

"The things were taken away?" Ke Junyan said in surprise.

Zhao Xingduan frowned, finally got some clues, but the things were snatched away.

Chu Yuyang said: "Young Master Qi is so injured, let's take him back to the mansion first, his things have been taken away, and now he doesn't know where to chase him, so it's useless to worry."

Ke Junyan carefully helped Qi Zhongting up, and then helped him onto the horse, then got on the horse by himself, and led Qi Zhongting back.

Chu Yuyang was carried onto the horse by Zhao Xingduan, and suddenly asked, "Duaner, am I heavy?"

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback by his question, and said, "It's okay, not heavy."

Chu Yuyang looked at the white horse walking in front, and said: "Madam Qi is really a hero among women, it doesn't take much effort to support Young Master Qi."

Zhao Xingduan glanced lightly and said, "He knows martial arts."

Chu Yuyang smiled and said, "I know."

Zhao Xingduan pinched his neck and said, "Didn't you only look at men? Why are you looking at Mrs. Qi with such a look on your face?"

Chu Yuyang said: "Because I found that Mrs. Qi is really good-looking. She doesn't feel out of place in women's clothing. She looks really good-looking."

"What?" Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, feeling that Chu Yuyang's words were incoherent.

Chu Yuyang laughed wickedly and said, "I accidentally saw the inside of Mrs. Qi's collar just now."

Zhao Xingduan's eyelids twitched.

Chu Yuyang laughed again and said, "I saw that there is a small Adam's apple on his white and tender neck."

Zhao Xingduan was taken aback, with a surprised expression on his face.

What Chu Yuyang meant was that Mrs. Qi is actually a man?

Zhao Xingduan was stunned for a long time, and when he came to his senses, he was very dissatisfied with Chu Yuyang's string of adjectives. Where there is an Adam's apple, there is an Adam's apple, what a white and tender neck.

Chu Yuyang said: "Duan'er, Madam Qi will only be watched by me in the future, don't you know?"

"What?" Zhao Xingduan couldn't keep up with his thoughts.

Chu Yuyang said: "I look at men, you look at women."

Zhao Xingduan's fists creaked.

They walked all the way to Qi's house. When they came out, they were in a hurry. It didn't seem that the road was long, but the pace became slower when they went back. Ke Junyan was afraid that Qi Zhongting's wound would hurt if the bumps were too strong, so he slowed down a little.

They went back from outside the city, and when they arrived at the gate of Qi's house, it was already dark.

However, the door of Qi's house was full of flames, and there were many people lighting lanterns. Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be the arresting officers and servants of the yamen.

"What's going on?" Chu Yuyang asked strangely.

Ke Junyan urged the horse to the door, and asked the boy, "What happened?"

When the boy saw that the young master and his wife had returned, he was so moved that he was about to cry, and said, "Ma'am is not well, something happened again, that Mr. Yao is dead!"
