The Young Emperor and the Fearless

This is the second time they have been to Cao's house today, but they went by the wrong way.

The three of them landed on the roof of Cao's house, intending to listen to the corner.

The Cao family are not honest people, if they ask something they don't want to answer, they must be lying, so they can only use this not-so-bright method.

In early winter, the sky is already very cold, especially at high places, it is unbearably cold.

Standing between Su Yu and Juxie, Heli couldn't help shivering in the cold wind. The next moment, two eyes stared at him, and Heli shook his head quickly, signaling them to pay attention to the movement of the Cao family.

There are more than a dozen members of the Cao family, and there are five children, chasing and fighting in the courtyard. The female relatives shouted to be careful in the distance, but the children turned a deaf ear and fell down. The adults in the distance cursed a few words and cried with their mouths flat After a while, he got up by himself and continued to play. After all, he was a child with a big forgetfulness.

Su Yu said: "I don't see that aunt."

There was no Aunt Cao around, nor was she in the house, so I don't know where she went.

But Ju Xie suddenly said: "I told you before that when Miss Zhou was killed, there were two kinds of injuries, knife wounds and strangle marks."

He Li said: "At that time you said that the knife wound was shallow and not fatal. Miss Zhou was strangled to death."

Ju Xie said: "Have you ever thought that if you are about to kill a person and you still have a knife in your hand, why don't you just stab him with the knife and strangle him to death instead? It's unnecessary?"

He Li pondered for a moment, then said: "Miss Zhou resisted the murderer before, so the murderer didn't succeed?"

Su Yu also thought for a while: "Generally speaking, women are weaker than men. Miss Zhou can resist the murderer. Maybe the murderer is also a woman?"

He Li was startled: "Woman? Could it be really Aunt Cao?"

Ju Xie said: "You are all right, but there is one more thing to pay attention to. The murderer just stabbed Ms. Zhou. Ms. Zhou will definitely struggle and resist the pain. But if it is a woman with similar strength, Ms. Zhou can definitely start I just snatched the knife, and I won’t suffer so many blows.”

With a flash of inspiration, He Li said: "You mean that the murderer is stronger than Miss Zhou, and maybe he didn't want to kill Miss Zhou at first, but accidentally strangled her to death when he was controlling Miss Zhou."

Ju Xie praised: "That's exactly what I mean."

However, following this line of thought, Aunt Cao is unlikely to be the murderer. The murderer should be a strong man.

Ju Xie continued, "It cannot be ruled out that Aunt Cao is the suspect."

"Why?" As soon as He Li asked, he thought, "Aunt Cao does farm work all year round, and it should be easy to carry two buckets of water, but Miss Zhou stays at home and only does some handicraft work at home. Aunt Cao's strength Maybe she's older than Miss Zhou."

So, you have to stay and see Aunt Cao's efforts with your own eyes.

Before they came to Cao's house, He Li only thought that he was observing Aunt Cao's words and deeds, as well as the conversation with her family without defense.

If it was true that they killed Miss Zhou, in a home where no outsiders were present, they would definitely leak the truth.

The point that Juxie mentioned just now had never occurred to her.

He Li asked: "Before you came, did you know it in your heart?"

Ju Xie said: "No, I just thought of it suddenly."

**

Aunt Cao has not returned, but the Cao family has been very lively.

Cao's eldest son and the third child had fought and scolded not long ago, but now they acted like nothing happened, teasing their children.It's just that both of them are in the courtyard, but they don't talk to each other.

He Li would be suspicious of going to Cao's house, thanks to what they said in the restaurant.At this time, they didn't have a conversation at all, which was really worrying.

A stick of incense has passed...

Su Yu suddenly asked: "Ms. Zhou was killed, why must it be the Cao family?"

Ju Xie didn't respond, He Li thought about it carefully, and said, "Of course not necessarily, it may be someone other than Aunt Cao."

Su Yu said: "Who?"

Miss Zhou died outside Zhou's house. It was broad daylight and it was still the morning market. Although there were not many people coming and going in front of Zhou's house, there were a few from time to time, but no one noticed.

"Only the neighbors here, even if there is a big move near Zhou's house, it will not be suspicious." He Li said, "You ask me that, but I think of a suspicious point. Miss Zhou struggled before her death, and the murderer was alone. Why? Aren't you afraid that others will come and bump into you?"

Su Yu said: "Could it be that there are more than one murderer, and there are others watching?"

He Li said: "To kill a person outside Zhou's house in broad daylight, ordinary people may not be so bold. But just imagine, what kind of grudge does the murderer have with Miss Zhou?"

If, as they speculated before, the murderer had no intention of killing Zhou Yingxue, then they should have communicated before, perhaps discussing something, but the two sides did not reach an agreement, so there were conflicts and differences.

So, what is it?

Ju Xie said: "The three people we are investigating all have motives, and, have you found out, their motives are all the same."

"The same motives?" Heli thought for a moment, then suddenly asked, "Is it because you fell in love with Miss Zhou and want to marry her?"

Ju Xie said: "Aunt Cao did it for her son, Wang Shou and the doctor did it out of sheer intention. Miss Zhou is mediocre in appearance, and Wang Shou and the doctor are like this. After so many years, she has been thinking about it. It must be that Miss Zhou is lovable. It is impossible for such a girl to offend others and make people want to kill, so the murderer must have come with malice."

He Li said: "If you are an ordinary person, you won't carry a knife on your body. It really makes sense for you to say so."

Su Yu stared at the two of them strangely, and couldn't help but said, "Master Ju, do you think Miss Zhou is mediocre in appearance?"

Ju Xie and He Li looked at Su Yu at the same time, as if they were puzzled by his question.

Su Yu sighed: "Today when I inquired about the situation of the Zhou family, everyone mentioned Miss Zhou, and they all regretted that she had a beautiful face, but her fragrance faded away. Miss Zhou is a famous beauty in Qingcheng..."

But no matter how beautiful a person is, they will change after death.When they saw Miss Zhou, she was already a stiff corpse.

He Li said: "Then the elder brother of the Cao family should just covet Miss Zhou's beauty, and he doesn't have much friendship."

Ju Xie didn't say a word about it, but looked into the distance and reminded: "Pay attention to the eaves on the front right."

Aunt Cao was at the position Ju Xie mentioned, half of her body was blocked by the eaves, and she seemed to be talking to someone.It's just that the person was completely blocked, and he couldn't tell who it was.

They talked about the time for two cups of tea, and they seemed to quarrel for a while in the middle. Aunt Cao was a little emotional, turned around and walked around before returning to the original place.

Then, they talked peacefully for a while before Aunt Cao left.

Heli asked, "When did she show up there?"

Su Yu has been paying attention to the situation in Cao's yard, but he didn't see it.

Ju Xie said: "She appeared along the east side and stopped at the eaves. It felt like someone was waiting for her specially, and she was there before we came to Cao's house."

Aunt Cao walked slowly to Cao's house, but the person who spoke to her refused to show up for a long time.

Su Yu said: "I'll go and have a look."

Ju Xie called him to stop: "We stand here, we can see half of Qingcheng, the people under the eaves will come out sooner or later, don't worry."

Sure enough, after Aunt Cao returned to Cao's house and closed the door, a person walked out under the eaves.

The man was walking with a cane, staggering, beating his waist and bowing his body, and walked out little by little.

It is the old man.

I haven't seen her for a while, and she seems to be getting older.
