My lord, I will be brought to justice!
Chapter 109: The first clue
The conversation with Su Yu seemed very relaxed, and he did not shy away from answering whatever Chu Tiankuo asked.The four of them sat and talked, and Chu Tiankuo was basically asking questions. Beichen and Feichen didn't interrupt too much, and listened quietly.
"Master, the butler asked the villain to bring tea." There was a knock on the door.
The visitor is a guest, even if Su Xuan has limited mobility, he can't neglect the guest.Under the arrangement of the old housekeeper, the first-class tea was prepared for Chu Tiankuo and the others.
"come in!"
The door slowly opened, and Yun Mo walked in wearing a servant's clothes.On the way, he met a maid who came to deliver tea, designed to lure her away, and came here with a teacup himself, just to take the opportunity to inquire about the progress of their case.
Yun Mo bent over and did not raise his head. He approached several people and handed teacups to everyone.When he was beside Chu Tiankuo, Yun Mo deliberately bumped his elbow into Chu Tiankuo.
Chu Tiankuo felt that someone bumped into him, and when he looked up, it was the face that Yun Mo had pretended to be.At this moment, Yun Mo smiled at him and blinked his eyes.
"You..." Chu Tiankuo originally wanted to ask Yun Mo why he appeared here, but suddenly realized that something was wrong, put away the doubts in his heart, straightened his head like a normal person, and continued the conversation with Su Yu.
Feichen narrowed her phoenix eyes slightly, picked up the cup and put the tea between her lips.He was very concerned about Chu Tiankuo's every move, and the interaction with Yun Mo just now naturally couldn't escape his eyes.It's just that Feichen is a little puzzled. When did Ah Kuo meet the people from Feixue Villa?
"Let's leave, little one." Yun Mo stepped back consciously after delivering the tea, and did not forget to rub Chu Tiankuo's clothes when he left.As if telling Chu Tiankuo specifically, I'm leaving first.
I have asked all the questions that should be asked, and the rest of the questions I want to ask are left to the old housekeeper. If you have any questions, you can talk to the housekeeper in detail.After staying here for a long time, Chu Tiankuo and the others got up and planned to leave.
To be honest, apart from solving the mystery of Su Jie not seeing guests this time, I have gained nothing.
"Master Su, let's take our leave first, thank you!"
Su Xuan smiled slightly, although she could only see half of her face, she could feel the gentleness of the smile.
"Forgive me for not being able to send Su away. If you have any questions in the future, just ask Su." Su Yu specially arranged for a housekeeper to send him off due to his inconvenience.
Although no useful clues were found, Chu Tiankuo was very satisfied with the conversation with Su Yu.
"Master Su, I'm busy today."
Just as Chu Tiankuo and the others were about to leave, Chu Tiankuo glanced inadvertently at the corner, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared from this glance, and he felt strange.
There are all kinds of shoes in the corner, all styles and sizes should be the shoes worn by Su Xuan.It seems that Su Xuan is a particular person, and he is very concerned about his clothes.
Chu Tiankuo didn't want to look too much at first, but his eyes were too sharp, and he could detect something unusual at a glance.
A pair of shoes near the corner, soiled around the edges.Although it was not obvious, Chu Tiankuo still discovered it.
Chu Tiankuo paused, and took out a jade bead from his sleeve. It was picked up by Chu Tiankuo from the road to play with, and he didn't expect it to be useful here.
Chu Tiankuo lowered his head and threw the jade beads in the direction of Su Xuan.The jade beads rolled to the ground under force, and the sound of hitting the ground came.
"Oh!" Chu Tiankuo touched his sleeve pretending to be exaggerated, then looked for his arms, and said very anxiously: "My jade bead seems to have fallen off, and I was too careless. That jade bead is very important."
Chu Tiankuo turned around in a hurry, and everyone joined the search team after seeing it.But Feichen knew that things were not that simple, Chu Tiankuo must be playing some tricks again.
"Master Su, I've offended you." Chu Tiankuo squatted beside Su Xuan, kneeling on the ground with one leg, and looked under Su Xuan's wheelchair.
He said he was looking for Xiao Yuzhu, but in fact his purpose was not here.
As expected...
Chu Tiankuo stood up, took a jade bead in his hand, and said: "You are too naughty, you can't run around in the future, I can't even find it."
Su Xuan didn't notice anything unusual, still smiling like a warm spring breeze, he said with a smile: "It's good that Mr. Chu finds it."
On the way back, the old housekeeper accompanied him all the time, and Chu Tiankuo asked, "What did Master Su go through to become like this?"
The old butler sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said after a long while: "This matter is a long story."
"Old man butler, let's keep the story short, as long as we can finish it on the way back to Yuelou." Chu Tiankuo didn't want to hear him talk about old sesame seed and rotten millet, so it's better to keep it simple and not miss the point.
Several people remained silent all the way, only the old housekeeper silently told the ins and outs...
This matter has to be talked about three years ago...
Su Xuan once had a childhood sweetheart, and this girl was born with some frailty and sickness, just like sister Lin.Such a woman's condition suddenly worsened before she got married. To save her sweetheart, Su Jie went to Nansheng Yu Country alone to seek a prescription. The journey was long and unpredictable, and the trip lasted for a year.
A year later, Su Xuan came back with the prescription.It's just that he was murdered by an adulterer on the way, and he ended up in what he is today.Thanks to being rescued by a man, Su Xuan was able to survive.
The person who rescued Su Yu was named Jing Yan, and he was a disciple of the eleventh floor.
According to legend, the eleventh floor was destroyed by a thousand-faced fox, and no one survived. Unexpectedly, Jing Yan could escape from death.
Without repaying Jing Yan's life-saving grace, Su Yu left Jing Yan in Feixue Villa and became a good brother who shared blessings and shared hardships.
But three months later, something unexpected happened.Su Xuan's sweetheart suddenly disappeared, no one alive, no dead body.
Su Xuan's savior, Jing Yan, also disappeared with him.
Su Xuan immediately sent someone to search for it, but after searching for a month, it still didn't disappear.After that, Su Xuan seemed to be a different person, staying behind closed doors.From making many friends at the beginning to being indifferent and alone now, he has experienced too much.
The matter of finding the two was also gradually forgotten, as if it was forgotten from people's memory.No one mentioned it, and no one actively searched for it.
"Where are they?" Chu Tiankuo and the others asked when they returned to the room, but they didn't find any trace of Xiao Yuling and others, so they asked.
"It must be that he hasn't come back yet, or he went to play somewhere else." Bei Chen put down the sword in his hand and stretched his muscles and bones.
"They will come back when the time is right." Fei Chen also said aside.
Chu Tiankuo had nothing particularly important to find them, but just found some clues, everyone should study them carefully.
"Chu Tiankuo, where did your jade beads come from?" Bei Chen couldn't help feeling curious when he remembered what happened in Su Yu's room.
"I picked it up randomly from the road. It looked good so I played with it." Chu Tiankuo replied very casually, and there was no sense of importance in his tone.
"Ah Kuo, but Su Xuan has a problem?"
Chu Tiankuo nodded, his expression became extremely solemn, and his voice became a little dull: "I found that Su Yu's shoes were covered with mud, and when I picked up the jade beads, I found that his shoes were covered with carbon dust."
"Mud...mud" Bei Chen secretly said, not understanding what Chu Tiankuo meant.
"Ah! I understand. Su Yu's disabled legs make it difficult for him to move. It stands to reason that the soles of his shoes should be clean. After all, he usually walks on the ground, so he shouldn't get dirt."
"Exactly." Chu Tiankuo snapped his fingers, "If it is usually covered with mud, it can be explained. But now the soles of his shoes are covered with carbon ash, which means that he must have been to the scene of the fire, which is the Unruly Building."
"So - Su Jie probably has no problem with his legs." Fei Chen added later.
"En!" Chu Tiankuo and Beichen both agreed.
"Look what I found!" He heard his voice before seeing him.Nan Zhuye jumped into the room from the outside and said excitedly.
He held a jade pendant in his hand, and the word "Su" was engraved on the jade pendant.
"Where did you find it?" Chu Tiankuo asked.
"Unruly building." Xiao Yuling poured a glass of water, drank it all, and then replied.
This jade pendant is obviously the property of Su Xuan, and now there is more evidence that Su Xuan has an inexplicable connection with the case.Chu Tiankuo reported the collected clues to Xiao Yuling one by one, including what happened three years ago.
"Don't startle the snakes first." Chu Tiankuo turned the jade pendant around, thinking about what to do next.
Although the evidence points to Su Xuan, it can only prove that Su Xuan can walk firstly, and secondly, he has been to the Unruly Building, which cannot prove that the murder and arson were done by Su Xuan at all.
"Who is Qianmianhu?" Jing Yan is a disciple of the eleventh floor, and Qianmianhu is the person who killed the eleventh floor.It's just that Jing Yan narrowly escaped death and walked out alive.Chu Tiankuo seemed a little interested in hearing about this thousand-faced fox.
The people present were silent for a while upon hearing this name... Qianmianhu seemed to have disappeared ten years ago.
"Thousand-faced fox, this person is as cunning, treacherous and cruel as his name suggests. He is best at stealing and changing his appearance. His appearance is so changeable that no one has seen his true face." After a long silence, Fei Chen broke the silence and asked Chu Tiankuo explained. "There are rumors in the rivers and lakes that because of hatred in his heart, he stained the eleventh floor with blood overnight, killing master and brother, and no one survived. Only today did I learn that someone escaped."
Bei Chen went on to say: "Ten years ago, he stole Yunlongzhu by the way for stealing the Pisces jade pendant. At that time, this case involved many things, and finally..." Bei Chen was so impressed with this matter, Chu Tiankuo's life and death are unknown, Fei Chen Rebuilding Yunshuo Palace...resulting in losing contact for ten years.And all of this has an inexplicable connection with the thousand-faced fox.
"What happened in the end? Where did the Pisces Jade Pendant go?" Chu Tiankuo was very anxious when he got stuck at the critical moment, but he could still involve the Pisces Jade Pendant, he asked impatiently.
"In the end, the Yunlongzhu was found, but the thousand-faced fox was nowhere to be found. As for the Pisces jade pendant..." Beichen glanced at Feichen, wondering whether he should say it or not.
"The jade pendant is with me." Fei Chen replied. "But...it's gone now."
What?Chu Tiankuo's eyes widened, and his heart surged like waves.The Pisces jade pendant is not in Yunshuo Palace, my God!Chu Tiankuo felt that it was a wrong decision for him to come to Yunshuo Palace to find Yupei.No wonder there was no trace of Yupei, it turned out that Yupei was not in Yunshuo Palace.
"Actually Chu..." Nan Zhuye wanted to interrupt, he wanted to tell Chu Tiankuo the truth.Including how Chu Tiankuo was reborn, the blood curse on Feichen's body... But they were all stopped by Feichen's eyes, and Nan Zhuye swallowed forcefully.
This incident about Yupei was purely accidental. The most important thing right now is to find out whether Su Xuan is the murderer, and what is his motive?
"Master, the butler asked the villain to bring tea." There was a knock on the door.
The visitor is a guest, even if Su Xuan has limited mobility, he can't neglect the guest.Under the arrangement of the old housekeeper, the first-class tea was prepared for Chu Tiankuo and the others.
