Mystery Case

Irresponsible Father and Son Theater - 15-year-old Young Master Chu

Lord Chu: Son, we haven't had a good talk with our father and son for a long time.

Young Master Xiao Chu: Dad, don't you want me to take the No. [-] exam? I want to study and I don't have time.

Master Chu looked lonely: Really?But since you went to the academy, dad rarely even sees your face.

Young Master Xiao Chu: Is there...

Lord Chu: Yes, alas... Otherwise, come on, Daddy will give you a kiss as a parting gift.

Young Master Xiao Chu: =////= No... don't be so purple!I still have to go to the academy!

Master Chu: What's the matter? You're still blushing.You were not always hugged by me when you were a child.

Master Xiao Chu ran for his life: That's different!

The case of the floating corpse in Mochou Lake progressed very slowly due to the scarcity of clues.

It had been three days, and the only thing that was certain was that the floating corpse was not Liu Ruyu. Although his face could not be seen clearly, the neighbors who were more familiar with him could still tell from his clothing and figure that it was not him.

In fact, after Chu Jiangkai saw the clothing of the floating corpse, he also thought it was not Liu Ruyu.Although he didn't have any valuable accessories on his body, the quality of the clothes was very good, not something a poor scholar like Liu Ruyu could afford.

It's not Liu Ruyu, it's most likely another person...

When Chu Jiangkai was hesitant to find Fang Yixiu, Fang Yixiu took the initiative to find her.

Different from the arrogant and domineering look seen a few days ago, this beautiful woman seemed to be a different person in just a few days.Although the face was deliberately painted with brightly colored powder, it was difficult to conceal the slightly swollen eyelids and red eyes, but the redness was not from crying, but from exhaustion.

"My lord, I was the one who was rude a few days ago." Even so, Fang Yixiu folded his hands on his waist for blessing.

"No problem." Chu Jiangkai asked, "You came to see me, what's the matter?"

As if unable to speak, Fang Yixiu was silent for a long time before saying, "My young master Fang Han is missing."

"How to say?" Although he still has some grievances about what happened before, Lord Chu is the parent officer of the people in Binzhou City after all, so he put his selfishness aside.

"Do you remember the day you came to my house?"

"Ah."

Fang Yixiu was silent again, wondering if she should tell the whole truth. Chu Jiangkai was also very cooperative, waiting for her to speak quietly. After about a moment, Fang Yixiu finally said, "Fang Han is dissatisfied with his parents since they were young. The established in-laws were unable to compete with the elders in the family, so they were forced to marry Miss Xu, and then ran away from home, and have not been seen since then."

Knowing that Fang Yixiu didn't tell the truth, but Chu Jiangkai didn't tell the truth, he just asked, "Have you visited his friend's house?"

"Yes, I have visited several of his best friends one by one for the past few days, but I found nothing...except..." Fang Yixiu hesitated to speak.

Chu Jiangkai asked, "Except who?"

"Fang Han also has a good friend named Liu Ruyu, a scholar. I don't know his address, and I can't confirm whether the young master is with him."

Hearing the name Liu Ruyu, Chu Jiang was moved with joy. The two people were really related.Although he had some thoughts in his heart, he didn't express them. Master Chu, who maintained a gentle expression, asked in a gentle voice, "Is Fang Han and Kane him on good terms?"

"Yes." I don't know what scruples, Fang Yixiu just expressed his confirmation very concisely, without going into details.

Right now it's not suitable to ask about the relationship between the two, Chu Jiang said, "Then you want me to help you find Liu Ruyu?"

Fang Yixiu pursed her petal-like lips, and nodded slightly.

"About ten days ago, Liu Ruyu disappeared."

Hearing this, Fang Yixiu didn't show any unexpected expression, she just frowned her fine eyebrows, and her almond eyes seemed to be burning with fire, shining brightly.

Chu Jiangkai said, "However, three days ago, a floating corpse was found in Mochou Lake with Liu Ruyu's seal on it..."

"What!" Fang Yixiu's complexion turned pale in an instant, "Liu Ruyu's seal... is it, Lay Taoxi?" The last four words were spoken very slowly and with difficulty.

From her appearance, Chu Jiangkai probably guessed it, and he gave Fang Yixiu the seal on the desk.

"You, are you going to see it?"

"Yes." The hand holding the seal tightly trembled uncontrollably, and the voice was very calm.

Chu Jiangkai took her to Wu Zuofang.

He Renjue was still making tea in the courtyard, the strong tea fragrance and the fragrance of magnolia flowers were intertwined and complemented each other perfectly.

He Renjue glanced at Fang Yixiu after Chu Jiangkai explained his purpose, and then led them to the cellar where the corpses were kept.

The cellar was already shady and cool, but a lot of ice cubes were placed to prevent the corpse from decomposing, making it even more chilly.Now parked there are only the floating corpses found in Mochou Lake and the bones found in the depths of the peach blossom forest.

The anxious Fang Yixiu walked faster, making Chu Jiangkai and He Renjue a few steps behind, Chu Jiangkai got closer to him as he walked, and then took his hand naturally.

His hands are cold.Chu Jiang opened his hands very warmly.

Fang Yixiu stood for a long time in front of the wooden board where the corpses were parked, because the corpses were eaten by soaked fish and the time of death was relatively long, it was already difficult to distinguish, probably not sure, or still had a glimmer of hope, said, " What kind of clothes is he wearing?"

"These are all in the Wuzuo room."

Although the clothes were already soaked in water, Fang Yixiu recognized them immediately when she saw them. She walked up quickly and picked them up.

Probably because of the extreme grief in her heart, she was unable to speak and could only stand silently.Although she is a woman, she has the same tenacity as a man.

Chu Jiangkai thought that the person he thought he was deeply infatuated with had died. If he hadn't experienced that kind of pain, he would never have imagined it.

Turning to look at his side face, as if confirming the existence of the other party, she held his hand even harder.

In this world, what is more fortunate than having the one you love by your side?

"My lord." The woman's trembling voice interrupted Chu Jiangkai's wild thoughts, "Is this all his relics?"

"Yes, the ones on the table and the seal, the rest are useless. Right?" The last sentence asked He Renjue.

He Renjue said, "Yes."

"Is there anything missing?" He turned to Fang Yixiu again.

Fang Yixiu said, "The peach blossom and jade medal, the money bag and the golden safety lock that he has been wearing all the time are gone."

In other words, everything of value is gone.Chu Jiangkai immediately understood why he felt strange when he saw the remains of the deceased that day, but the strangeness was quickly replaced by curiosity about the seal, so he didn't think about it deeply.

"Did you meet a robber?"

Fang Yixiu suddenly grabbed Chu Jiangkai's hand, and said, "Master Chu, please catch the murderer soon..." At the end, she was already trembling and couldn't hear clearly.

Patting Fang Yixiu's shoulder comfortingly, Chu Jiangkai persuaded softly, "I will, your condolences will change, don't be too sad."

Fang Yixiu nodded and said nothing more.
