Queen's Detective

"We have guests."

The golden bells on the eaves of the corridor rang, and Mr. Mei's faint voice blew past his ears.Flowers fall in the courtyard, and guests visit.

It's just that after waiting for a while, no one came. Mr. Mei stood for a long time, blowing the wind for a while, and coughing a few times.He waved his hand, "Go inside and wait."

Yan Gexing followed closely beside him, keeping a certain distance between him and Yan Sanbai.It's not that Yan Sanbai doesn't want to make a move. First, he is concerned about the safety of Li Yan and the others. Second, he can feel that Yan Gexing seems to be the only one around Mr. Mei, but there are clearly many auras locking him. Once he acts rashly, I'm afraid It's a scene of crowds attacking.With Yan Ge around, Yan Sanbai was not sure that he could kill with one blow, so it would be very difficult to make a second strike.

The room is very bright, and the whole room is like a lobby, with the floor covered, no tables and chairs, and tables with upturned ends placed on both sides. The candlesticks and carved patterns are all in the style of the front.

Mr. Mei sat cross-legged on the main seat facing outwards, with a light crimson landscape painted on the screen behind him.Not long after, two people came out from behind the screen, holding wine cups in their hands, with their heads slightly lowered, they poured wine for Mr. Mei and Yan Sanbai respectively.

Yan Sanbai recognized them, they were Qiuchan and Xiaohe.

Outside the courtyard gate, the bells had stopped.Wuming turned his head and looked behind him, "Don't you two invite me?"

One of Ah Liu's feet had already crossed the threshold, but at that moment, a dull pain hit her brain, and a huge wave surged in her mind.That dusty memory was suddenly and ruthlessly opened at this time, like a scar that had grown blood and flesh, and was suddenly gouged open again.

She suddenly opened her eyes wide, and opened her mouth slightly because of disbelief and fear, but she couldn't say anything.Tears rolled down my cheeks like a broken thread.She stretched out her hand to cover her mouth, and despair suddenly opened up the black curtain to envelop her, pressing on her shoulders, making her squat down slowly, unable to stand anymore.

"Miss A Liu, aren't you going in? The young master is still waiting for you inside." The nameless voice was both indifferent and joking, beating on A Liu's heart.

Ah Liu opened his mouth, but he was still speechless, as if he had lost his soul.

Guan Qingci frowned slightly, glanced at Wuming coldly, squatted down, and said: "You can decide for yourself, whether to go or not."

Hearing Guan Qing's resignation, Ah Liu finally reacted, and she suddenly asked: "What is the relationship between Young Master and Su Mei...?"

Guan Qing spoke silently, and said anonymously: "Su Mei is the elder sister of the young master."

Su Mei's shoulders suddenly trembled.She covered her mouth, as if she wanted to stifle all the cries and shouts in her throat, and those eyes, which were originally empty, gradually lost all light.

She remembered that night, when the body was tied with stones and sank to the bottom of the water, there was a thud, which made her legs tremble with fright while hiding in the dark.She staggered back while leaning on the wall, and then fled in a hurry overnight.

That ship took them to an unknown distance, and she was helpless and afraid until she got down to earth and she was taken behind the bead curtain.

She couldn't see the other person's face, but felt that although the hands on top of her head were cold, the fingertips were still warm, which made her tremble from shivering to gradually calm down.

"What's your name?" he asked.

"Ah... Ah Liu."

"Are you scared?"

"I... no, I'm not afraid..."

The other party chuckled, the voice sounded not much louder than hers, but it seemed that many stories had been accumulated, and there was no trace of innocence.

"Don't worry, with me here, you will live well. No one can hurt you except me."

A Liu was ignorant, but it was this promise that gave her a hand when she was most helpless.

When she was sent away, she couldn't help asking: "Can I see you again?"

"Okay, if you want to come, you can see me."

In the following year, A Liu was often brought to Mr. Mei's side and talked to him.That year was probably the happiest day in her life, and she gradually buried those unpleasant things in the depths of her memory, until the last time, Mr. Mei suddenly said to her: "From now on, you will be called Su Mei." .”

"Sumei?"

"Yes, I like the name."

A Liu blushed and nodded.

Mr. Mei patted her head very satisfied, and said: "Let's go, we will meet again when everything is over."

Since then, Ah Liu has never seen him again.The days gradually become dull, and in the end there are only daily necessities left.Mr. Mei is more like a dream she had when she was lying in the refugee pile when she was a child. In the dream, the wind was sunny, and when she was walking down the noisy long street holding her parents' hands, what she saw was the bird flying in the sky. , a tall, beautiful kite.

But she never forgot, the little throbbing deep in her heart.

She still wanted to see him, this time, she didn't want to run away again.

Guan Qingci looked at her, not knowing what to do.He was outside the circle of cause and effect, and he could break through it, but he couldn't.Looking at Ah Liu like this, he felt compassion in his heart, sighed and regretted, but that was all.

Yan Sanbai is right, he is really suitable for the position of Minister of Dali Temple.

Wuming was a little impatient, A Liu dawdled for too long, but their time might be running out.However, just when he was about to urge him, Ah Liu suddenly stood up, wiped away his tears, and said, "Let's go."

Let's go, let's go, come and go, go and go.

"Before everyone comes, there is one thing that you may be interested in knowing." After drinking alcohol, Mr. Mei's face turned rosy, but there was tiredness between his brows and eyes.

Yan Sanbai sat down and didn't answer.

Mr. Mei didn't care, and said: "It's about Su Mei. You have been investigating the murderer who destroyed the Yan family all these years. I think she asked you to investigate. You haven't been able to find out the real source for so long. , That’s because I intervened and erased some clues. But you probably don’t know that the person who killed my parents and set fire to the Yan Mansion was precisely the one who asked you to trace the source.”

Samui.

A flash of shock flashed in Yan Sanbai's eyes. He thought of Su Mei's horrific burn on half of her face, and her hysterical laughter and cursing before she died, and suddenly felt like an overturned five-flavored bottle.

He didn't know how deeply Su Mei hated that couple. Everything, including the Yan Mansion and Su Mei's bones, had turned into dust and disappeared in the long river of history.

But before Su Mei died, she gave him a hope, a goal to live.

That might be Su Mei's last bit of kindness towards the world.

But in this way, Mr. Mei's feelings for Su Mei...is open to discussion.It was Su Mei who killed his parents, which directly ignited the fuse that led to the destruction of the Yan family. Although Su Mei asked Yan Sanbai to rescue him in the end, the ending was obviously not very good.

Without this series of things, perhaps none of these things would have happened.

Suddenly, with a sound of "Boom!", something was thrown in and hit the floor heavily.Yan Sanbai looked, only to realize that it was actually a person—Su Zhi who had run away.

Su Zhi's hands and feet were tied behind his back, and his mouth was also gagged. His jaw joint should have been removed to prevent suicide.Su Zhi's eyes widened in horror, and he wriggled on the ground uneasily, expressing his wishes in a 'woo woo woo'.

Mr. Mei looked at him with indifferent eyes. At this moment, the long-awaited guest finally arrived.

Wuming led the people in, leaned over and bowed to Mr. Mei and Yan Sanbai each, "Master, Hero Yan."

Yan Sanbai raised his eyes, his eyes collided with Guan Qingci's - what's going on?

Guan Qingci glanced at A Liu, the meaning was self-evident.

"Grand... son?" Ah Liu's voice was trembling and hoarse, she walked forward slowly, looking at one place with empty eyes.

Mr. Mei said: "A Liu, your father is here."

Aliu, he called himself Aliu... Sure enough, everything is over.

Thinking of this, Ah Liu felt pain in his heart.Then she thought of Su Zhi, with a trace of sarcasm on the corner of her mouth, "My father? My father died long ago, he is not my father!"

Su Zhi's body curled up on the ground froze suddenly, and the sound of "woo woo woo" became louder.

A Liu looked in the direction of the voice, but his expression became more and more cold, "You are Ma San, my father's fellow countryman, that night, it was not my father who killed you, but you who were prepared and killed me with a knife Father sinks him into the water again!"

Su Zhi, no, it's Ma San.Ma San's pupils shrank sharply, and he looked at A Liu in shock, as if he had never known her before.

A Liu smiled, but her voice was a little choked up, "Do you think I don't know anything? Although I can't see, I can hear and smell. I'm very scared, and I'm afraid you'll kill me too, so I had no choice but to Pretend not to know anything, and go with you. But you probably didn't expect that the ship belongs to the young master, and you didn't succeed in the end."

"Uh, uh!" Ma San struggled, the fear in his heart entangled him tightly like vines.When he killed Su Zhi, stole the money and took Ah Liu away, of course he didn't have a good attitude.But then a Mr. Mei appeared out of nowhere, his cold eyes seemed to be piercing his heart, and the word "Mr. Mei" was like a knife hanging over his head all the time, making him dare not act rashly.So he simply followed his plan and played Su Zhi's role all the time, waiting for the opportunity to escape.He is very patient, and he has been pretending for several years.

Fortunately, Ah Liu is a blind girl with a simple mind.

But he didn't expect that she knew it from the beginning!No wonder, no wonder she had to faint and run away alone that night!

"Want to take revenge?" Mr. Mei asked.

A Liu nodded vigorously, "I think."

Qiu Chan then walked up to her, took out a dagger and handed it to her personally, "It's up to you what you want."

Ah Liu gripped the cold dagger tightly, her heart trembled, but she quickly regained her determination.She closed her eyes, hiding all the pain in her eyes.

She has been running away for so long, this time, she must not run away again.She groped and walked up to Ma San. Ma San's eyes widened in horror, and his body writhed restlessly on the ground, like an ugly earthworm.A Liu pointed the knife at him, turned his head and looked around blankly, as if searching for the direction of Mr. Mei, to give himself courage.

Mr. Mei just watched quietly without saying a word.

However, at the moment A Liu stabbed, the voices of Yan Sanbai and Guan Qingci sounded almost at the same time, "Stop!"

A Liu's wrist was firmly grasped by Guan Qingci, so hard that he even drew a red mark.Ah Liu felt the pain, and the dagger was thrown out of his hand.

Guan Qingci looked at Mr. Mei coldly, "Didn't you ask me to come to see my identity as the Minister of Dali Temple? If you want to use private law, why invite me?"

"Pa, pa." Mr. Mei clapped his hands, leaning lazily on Xiao He next to him, with a vague smile on the corner of his mouth, "As expected of Dali Siqing, I have a clear mind. Then I Let me ask you, how should I judge?"

"How to judge?" Guan Qingci rested one hand on the handle of the knife at his waist, and his demeanor was calm and prestige, as if he had returned to the time when he was still in the Chang'an court. In private law, the crime is aggravated. It is okay to take revenge, but not in this way."

"But this is Xiaomeiyuan. I have always had a feud with the Li family. Da Zhou's law is like shit to me." Mr. Mei said, sitting up slightly. Those who have been trapped here for many years, if they let it go hastily, it will be difficult to say that they will go to the Palace of the King of Hades in the future."

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yan Sanbai again, "Aren't you going to avenge Su Mei?"

Yan Sanbai remained silent, his eyes turned to A Liu.The weak and pitiful woman is sad and hateful, so revenge, or not?
