Tomb Raider Gu Tomb Miscellaneous Notes

Bai Ying stood at the bottom of the steps, and Zhang Rui stood at the top of the steps and bowed slightly to her: "Sister-in-law wants to say something, please go ahead and say it."

His tone was low and cold, his words were gentle and polite, and Bai Ying's aggressive posture was calmly suppressed by him.

The outside of the mourning hall was suddenly very quiet, and the scene was a little cold.

A voice came from behind Zhang Rui: "Girl Ying, what do you have to say? Say it in front of everyone. If the second youngest of our family dares to make things difficult for you, I will block it for you."

There were quite a few people blocking the door, and it was impossible to see who the speaker was, but he could tell from the tone of his voice that it was an elder of the Zhang family.

Hearing the sound, Zhang Rui stepped aside, and sure enough, an old woman in sixties appeared behind him, and she walked out slowly with the support of the girl.

Although the old man is old, his steps are very steady, and there is an indescribable calm in his expression.

Zhang Rui bowed his head again in front of her, leaned over and said, "Grandma."

Seeing the old lady Zhang, Bai Ying's eyes changed, and she was suddenly weak and helpless. She ran up the steps in two or three steps, fell into the old lady's arms, and cried loudly: "Grandma! You love Zhang Ci the most, and you know me too. How much I love Zhang Ci, now that this happened, I, I really don’t know what to do! As soon as I closed my eyes, I felt that he was still by my side, talking to me and smiling at me, but when I opened my eyes ..."

There was a lot of crying in the back, Bai Ying flung herself on the old lady's shoulders, her makeup faded away, her eyes were pear-blossomed with rain.I watched coldly from the side, tugged at the corner of the incense burner, and said in a low voice, "Look, this is a play, and the Oscar's Best Actress has to get out of the way."

The incense burner didn't make a sound, just shook his head slightly at me, frowning, signaling me not to cause trouble.

Baiying's ears were sharp, and she seemed to have heard our conversation. She glanced at me sideways, then threw herself on the old lady's shoulder and cried even more miserably: "Grandma, I told you a long time ago that someone in the family is going to kill you." Zhang Ci, if you don't believe it, it really happened now! I have been holding back some words these days, because I know that I am not from the Zhang family after all, and some things are not for me to say, and things about the Zhang family are not It's not my turn to intervene. But, but I really can't watch Zhang Ci die inexplicably, while the murderer is at large! Grandma, Zhang Ci was poisoned to death, I have evidence! So big things happened to the Zhang family , if there is any change, I am afraid that you will not be able to bear it, grandma, so I think it is better to have less than one more thing. The harmony within the Zhang family is the most important thing, so I have never dared to speak. But, after much deliberation, if I don’t say To tell the truth, I'm sorry for Zhang Ci, and I'm sorry for your grandma who has always taken care of me like that, and the Zhang family! I..."

Inside and outside the mourning hall, Bai Ying was crying alone, and the crying was miserable. If the guests who had just arrived at this time, they would immediately sympathize with Bai Ying and hate the murderer who made this lady so sad.

Zhang Rui stood beside him with a cold face, his head bowed and he seemed not to speak.As the saying goes, the bird that sings the loudest in the nest can get its fill. Seeing that Zhang Rui is not defending himself at all, I understand why it is difficult for him to gain a foothold in the Zhang family.

It was also obvious at a glance that the old lady was leaning towards Bai Ying.She stroked Bai Ying's hair, and her old voice carried a trace of majesty: "Girl Ying, you are sensible and considerate of the overall situation. I have always noticed it. If you have anything to say, just say it boldly. After all, there is me in the Zhang family." , I have long regarded you as my own granddaughter, the Zhang family is your own home, no one here dares to say that you are not qualified to speak, and whoever says that, I will kick him out of the Zhang family!"

After all, my eyes slanted towards Zhang Rui vaguely, and a cold light came out from inside. I saw that something was wrong, so I pulled the incense burner and said, "No, Mr. Zhang doesn't want to see Zhang Rui. My wife doesn't like this grandson either."

The incense burner said in a low voice: "Zhang Rui's horoscope is over, how can all the people who are overwhelmed by him tolerate him?"

I sighed and nodded, looking at Zhang Rui sympathetically, worried that the next developments would be more and more unfavorable to him.

With the old lady Zhang's permission, Bai Ying's waist became stiffer, she wiped away her tears, glared at Zhang Rui and said proudly, "Grandma, if you allow me to speak, then I will tell you everything I know right here." , in case someone says I'm talking nonsense, you have to make the decision for me."

The old lady Zhang closed her eyes, and the girl next to her brought her a chair. She sat down and said: "There is always a law in the world, and those who make mistakes must plead guilty. If there is a murderer, and it is in this family, I don't care." will cover up his crimes."

Bai Ying walked towards Zhang Rui and said angrily, "The night before Zhang Ci died, he told me on the phone that you brought him several boxes of Andou pancakes when you came back from Yangzhou. He said that you never went anywhere before. I brought him something, this time I received your Andou Pan, he was very happy, and called me immediately to tell me about it. Then the next morning, he sent a box to the old man."

Zhang Rui raised his eyelids to look at Bai Ying, and said coldly, "The police have experienced those cakes, which proves that there is no poison in the cakes."

Bai Ying said: "I just think it's a bit strange that you suddenly gave something to your elder brother. You didn't say that you poisoned the Andou cakes. It's such an easy trick to be exposed. I don't think it's the clever and wise Young Master Zhang Er." from."

Bai Ying raised her eyebrows and said loudly, "However, you didn't put poison in the Andou Cake, but it's possible that the Andou Cake is poisonous." She raised her voice again, "It's the first time you gave something to your elder brother, so even if It's something stuffed with almonds that he doesn't like to eat, because you gave it to him, he will definitely eat it."

Zhang Rui smiled and said, "Why do you think that I gave it to you, and my brother will definitely eat it?"

Bai Ying said: "Don't pretend, outsiders think that your elder brother and you are estranged from childhood, so the brotherhood is cold, but you, I, and the old man all know that your elder brother has always put your younger brother at the top of our hearts. His heart is not as important as yours. I have never wanted to admit this, but it is true. He said that you gave him several boxes of Andou pancakes, which was exaggerated because he was so happy. In fact, there were only two boxes in total. One box is almond-flavored. Both your elder brother and the old man have heart disease, and they are afraid of palpitations caused by eating almonds by mistake. They never touch almond-flavored things, so he will definitely not give the box of almond-flavored things to the old man. But because it is Even if he couldn't eat almonds, he would still eat them from you, and in order not to let the old man know, he ate up the box of biscuits, so no one would know that you gave almonds even though you knew they didn't eat them Andy bean cake." Bai Ying became more and more excited as she spoke, and finally said in a high voice, "Your elder brother protects you so much, but you use this to harm him!"

Zhang Rui was silent for a while, then sneered: "The police found out that elder brother and the old man were poisoned by eating almonds by mistake, so you think I gave elder brother almond-flavored Andou biscuits?"

Bai Ying said: "This is indeed my deduction. The box of cakes has been eaten up. Your elder brother destroyed all the evidence in order not to let others know. In addition, there were almond-containing dishes for breakfast and lunch that day. What happened? What kind of almonds did they eat by mistake? Without conclusive evidence, it is difficult to say. But after thinking about it, your eldest brother is such a careful person, it is only possible that there is something wrong with the and bean cake you sent him, and he will eat it by mistake. You It was considered that this point was allowed, so such a poisoning plan was carried out!"

Zhang Rui sneered: "Even if that's the case, what about the old man? According to you, my elder brother is the only one who ate almond-flavored and bean cakes."

Baiying's face turned pale, and she bit her lip: "I don't know why the old man ate it by mistake. The police only checked the box of Andou biscuits left by the old man, but no poison was found, so you were ruled out of suspicion." But I suddenly thought of something yesterday, that day your elder brother received the Andou pancakes from you, and later sent me a message, saying that I didn’t expect you to be careless. At that time, I asked him what he meant, He didn't reply to me, I just realized yesterday that he sent me that short message after unpacking the box of Andou pancakes you gave me."

Bai Ying was about to take out her mobile phone when Zhang Rui sighed, her face was like an expressionless mask: "After all, it's all your speculation, if you come to this conclusion with subjective factors, can it be used as evidence? ?" Without waiting for Baiying to speak, he turned to Mrs. Zhang, bowed and said, "Grandma, I'm a little tired and want to go back to my room to rest."

When he said that suddenly, everyone was a little embarrassed.

Zhang Rui had this temper, he was not good at hiding his emotions on the surface, he was upset by Bai Ying, and was eager to retreat, but logically he had to stay in the mourning hall to watch for his relatives, but he didn't care about this aspect.I sweated for him, thinking that the more he was like this, the more others would think he was guilty and disrespectful to the dead.

Bai Ying obviously knows this very well. Perhaps what she wants is not to testify against Zhang Rui for murder, but to prevent Zhang Rui from gaining a foothold in the Zhang family. When Zhang Rui said that he wanted to leave, she seemed unable to hide her complacency, and smiled slightly smiled.

Of course, the old lady Zhang didn't see her expression, she was very upset after hearing Zhang Rui's words, she frowned and said, "Didn't you explain what girl Ying said?"

Zhang Rui lowered his head and said, "I don't want to explain anything, grandma, I'm really tired, sorry."

After saying this, Zhang Rui turned around and strode away along the corridor. Everyone looked at his back as he left in a hurry, and there was a sigh of relief in the crowd.

Bai Ying continued to cover her mouth and weep silently, she looked so pitiful in clothes, old lady Zhang asked her to lie on her lap, and comforted her gently.So she took the opportunity to say something wrong about Zhang Rui.

There was no host in the mourning hall, and the scene was chaotic. The Zhang family's servants began to clean up the mess, and they might directly plan to serve dinner next.

I sighed in my heart that Zhang Rui had just become the head of the Zhang family and fled before the battle. It was very unwise to do so.If it were Zhang Ci, he would definitely be able to turn the situation around and control the scene properly, but now all the truth can only be known by him who is lying in the coffin with a happy face from time to time.

On the one hand, I don't like to socialize, but on the other hand, I am worried about Zhang Rui, so I wanted to go to the west wing to find him, but the incense burner stopped me and shook my head.

Afterwards, the three of us went back to the hotel and ate dinner carelessly, discussing for a while whether Zhang Ci had been poisoned to death.

Shen Er's point of view is that Zhang Rui has always been oppressed by his elder brother, and everyone in the family treats Zhang Cihao badly, jealousy breeds hatred, and over time, the more sullen people can't usually see it, and it's terrible to explode.Moreover, when Bai Ying identified her in front of the mourning hall, Zhang Rui fled because he was obviously guilty of a crime.

I shook my head and said, "Zhang Ci is as fine as a ghost. If Zhang Rui intends to harm him, he won't be able to see it?" I turned my head to the incense burner, wanting to hear his opinion, but he said, "I don't know much about it." Zhang Rui, dare not say anything."

I frowned. I always felt that the incense burner was very perfunctory in this matter.

Shen Er was chased away at night, and the two of us made out for a while in the room. When we were lighting the fire, the incense burner said in my ear: "You are not paying attention."

I knew I couldn't hide it, so I could only sigh, "I'm really worried about Zhang Rui."

The incense burner bit my shoulder, making me grit my teeth in pain.I wanted to push him away, but he grabbed my hand and put it on top of his head, his eyes swept down indifferently: "Haven't you ever thought that maybe he poisoned Zhang Ci to death?"

I froze, and the incense burner looked at me calmly, my stunned and bewildered face reflected in my eyes.I said, "You think he's the murderer, too?"

The incense burner didn't answer, he hugged me and rolled up the quilt, then penetrated my body with a force, thrusting and inserting quickly.I was so hurt by his push, I gasped and shouted: "Slow down!"

He whispered in my ear: "Don't think about others at this time."

In the middle of the night, I tossed and turned unable to sleep, turned on the bedside lamp, and saw the incense burner turned over to one side.I thought about it, and finally got out of bed and changed my clothes. Before going out, I looked at the bed again, and the incense burner was sleeping very soundly.

I took a taxi to Zhang's house, and at the door of the study in the west wing, I met Zhang Rui.

In the moonlight, the cold moonlight shone on his shoulders. He hadn't taken off his mourning clothes yet. His pale figure was huddled in the moonlight, leaning against the threshold with his head tilted, holding a wine bottle in his hand, and looking at me with a pair of blind eyes. Come on, the long eyelashes trembled, and he smiled: "What time is it now? You are not making out with Master Long, what are you doing here?"

I frowned, feeling tight in my chest.

Sure enough, Zhang Rui had just entered the gate of Shen's house that day, and he saw that the uncooked rice and the incense burner and I were cooked. Fortunately, I still wanted to cover it up in front of him, and now it has become a self-deceiving joke.
