Mystery Case

Taoxi Jushi is the alias of Liu Ruyu who disappeared more than 20 years ago.

Obviously this is the seal of Liu Ruyu who may have died, but this is already the second seal, the previous one was found on a skeleton that had been dead for several months.

Chu Jiang had doubts in his heart, and immediately said goodbye to He Renjue briefly, and rushed to the study room, where the previous seal was placed.

After getting the other seal, Chu Jiangkai couldn't wait to compare the two seals together. They were made of ordinary seal stones, and they were carved with the same positive seal seal. Overall, they were exactly the same, but they were made by hand after all. Carved, it is inevitable that there will be differences in details.

Two identical seals, could it be a serial murder case using the seal as a clue?

Since the same seal appeared on another male corpse, the claim that the bone was Liu Ruyu has also been overturned. He has been missing for half a month. The male corpse in Sorrow Lake is more likely to be Liu Ruyu.

Chu Jiangkai, who was deep in thought, didn't notice the passage of time at all, until someone knocked on the door of the study, which brought him back to his senses.

It was He Renjue who knocked on the door. He seemed to have taken a bath, and changed into clothes that were light blue to almost white. His waist-length black hair was scattered on his chest because he had just washed and not completely dried. The refreshing feeling that is different from the past makes people unable to take their eyes off even more.

Under the gaze of Chu Jiangkai, he walked to the desk naturally and said, "The cause of death has been found out, it was poisoned."

Chu Jiangkai blinked his peachy eyes, and said, "After poisoning, throw the body in Mochou Lake?"

"Should." He Renjue nodded.

Chu Jiangkai suddenly stopped talking, just looked at him fixedly, then stretched out his hand to hook him into his arms, and forced him to sit on his lap.

This posture made He Ren feel a little embarrassed, but he didn't show it on his face.

Chu Jiangkai stretched out his hand to pin the hair that had fallen in front of his face because of the movement and put it behind his ears, but he didn't make any further movements, just looked at it like this.

Both sides were silent, and what they saw was themselves in the other's eyes.

Silent communication that does not require any sweet words, as if speaking with eyes, only the other party is in the eyes.

He Renjue made a move first, he said, "...the deceased has been dead for more than three days."

In an instant, the ambiguous atmosphere disappeared.

Lord Chu sighed helplessly, and said, "Is it okay to talk about this later?"

The young man turned his head and did not speak.

Chu Jiangkai took his hair in his hands to play with, then leaned it close to his ear, and whispered, "Can I kiss you?"

It seemed to be a questioning tone, but who knew that it was useless to refuse, not to mention that he had never thought of refusing, and more directly, lowered his head and kissed each other.

This time, it was a very gentle kiss, touching each other gently to confirm the existence of the other party.The long intimacy, when it stops, there is still a feeling of unfinished.

"Who Renjue..." Chu Jiangkai called his name softly, with a hint of lingering.

He Renjue didn't respond, but Chu Jiangkai didn't care, and continued with the same tone, "I really like you."

"I know." Although it was the same flat tone, it seemed not as cold as before.

Although there was no clear response, it was much better than pushing away directly, enough to make Chu Jiangkai jump for joy.

But the human heart is always greedy. Once you have it, you can't help wanting more.

Chu Jiangkai asked cautiously, "What about you? Do you like me?"

He Renjue looked at him silently, which was expected by Chu Jiangkai. Although he couldn't say he was not disappointed, he didn't ask.

Catching the flashing lonely expression on his face, He Renjue suddenly felt a strange but familiar dull pain in his heart. It turned out that his heart had been moved unconsciously, and fell into the net woven by the other party with tenderness. .

He lowered his head again, pressing against his soft lips.

It is no longer a gentle movement, but a rough occupation as if a storm is coming.

Chu Jiangkai responded to him, and gradually regained the dominance.

Take your time and one day make him all your own.one of them thought.

It's better to eat it first, so you can't escape.Another thought.

In the evening, Zhang Xiaoyi sent Chu Jiangkai the paintings that he had given him to re-mount a few days ago.

Somehow, the painting that had been torn into countless pieces was reassembled without any signs of damage.

"It's amazing." Admiring the marvelous craftsmanship, Chu Jiang turned to Zhang Xiaoyi, "You won't lie to me with other paintings, will you?"

Xiao Zhang's yamen servant defended himself with all kinds of grievances, "How dare I!"

Master Chu, who was in a good mood, said with a smile, "I'm joking."

"Not funny at all!"

Master Chu didn't say anything anymore, but looked at the painting, which showed a young man holding a peach blossom in one hand and a book in the other, with a gentle expression. Although his appearance was ordinary, his temperament was refined.The painting was signed by Liu Ruyu, and it was also stamped with the seal of Taoxi Layman. The time of painting was about a year ago.

A mystery remained unsolved, and a new problem emerged.

"What's the relationship between Liu Ruyu and Fang Han?" Chu Jiangkai murmured.

"Who is Fang Han?" Zhang Xiaoyi asked without knowing.

Chu Jiangkai briefly explained the matter, and after listening to it, Zhang Xiaoyaman made a simple but shocking conclusion, "Eloped."

"why would you say so?"

"Fang Han refuses to marry Miss Xu. There are only two possibilities. One is that he hates Miss Xu very much, and the other is that he has someone he likes." Zhang Xiaoyamen said clearly, "He and Miss Xu have never met before." , according to what you said, Miss Xu is quite beautiful, so it can't be that she hates it, it can only be someone who likes it."

Lord Chu nodded in agreement, "That sounds right."

"And Fang Yixiu is obviously an important driving force behind their elopement."

Master Chu shook his head, "No, Fang Yixiu likes Fang Han, that's why he stopped Fang Han and Xu Jianqing from worshiping. Later, he found out that Fang Han was still carrying Liu Ruyu's portrait, so he tore up Liu Ruyu's painting in a rage..." At this point , he paused for a moment, and suddenly said, "If the deduction is correct, this painting is Liu Ruyu's self-portrait!"

I carry it with me because it is a painting of someone I like.

But why did you stay there later? Is it because the other party is already by your side, so it doesn't matter whether you take it or not?

This seemingly reasonable and unreasonable idea gave Chu Jiangkai a headache.

So the person who died in Mochou Lake is...the real Liu Ruyu?But how to explain the corpse in the peach blossom forest.

"Could it be that Fang Yixiu killed Liu Ruyu because of envy and hatred?" Zhang Xiaoyi made a bold guess.

Chu Jiangkai rubbed his chin and said, "It's not impossible, so how about it, my lord, how about I assign you a task?"

"Can I say no?"

"No."

"I can't ask how it is! Tell me."

"Come close to your ears."

Several things seem to be unrelated, but they are closely related. As long as you grasp the thread that connects them together, you can solve the doubts.
