Mystery Case

Chu Jiangkai came out of the government office and went straight to Ji Tingchu's home.Because of the murder case, Chu Jiangkai had already sent people to guard it as early as when the case happened, and the Ji family also moved to a small courtyard not far from home.When Master Chu arrived, he found a few people standing in the small courtyard, who looked a little familiar.

As soon as Master Ji saw Master Chu coming, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "My lord, you are here!"

Seeing his eager expression, Chu Jiang asked, "But what happened?"

Master Ji pointed angrily at the few people in the courtyard, "They, they insisted that Xiaoru was killed by Chu'er! Chu'er must pay for his life!"

Chu Jiangkai looked over, and one of them stood up and said, "I've seen Mrs. Chu, I'm Xia Tonglin, he's the elder brother of the bride, Tong Xiaoru."

Chu Jiangkai looked him up and down, and saw that this person was quite magnanimous, with a little anger in his eyes, before Chu Jiangkai could speak, he saw Ji Tingchu coming out of the room.At this time, he was dressed in white, his hair was simply tied up, his delicate face was bloodless, and his expression was a little haggard, making him look even more frail and deceitful.

He seemed to have difficulty even standing up, and raised his voice, "Don't you just want someone to vent your anger on? I'm here, arrest me and send me to the Binzhou government office, what's the point of embarrassing my father? "After speaking, his figure flickered, as if he would fall down at any time.Xie Luo, who was standing behind him, quickly supported him.

Xie Luo whispered a few words of comfort in his ear, because of the distance, Xie Luo's voice was soft, and Chu Jiangkai couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.Xie Luo looked up and saw Chu Jiangkai, and said repeatedly, "Master Chu! You want Ting Chu to be innocent!"

Chu Jiangkai felt that his head was a bit big, so he had to say, "This case is still under investigation. I have already found some clues. I believe the truth will be revealed in a few days. Don't fight." At this point, he stopped After a while, he said seriously, "But the case has not been solved for a day, anyone may be the suspect, not only Ji Tingchu, or Xie Luo, or even his brother." He then looked at Tong Lin again.

Tong Lin frowned and said loudly, "How could I kill my own sister!"

"I didn't mention you either." Chu Jiang said, "Everyone is suspected, and I also said that everyone may not be the murderer. I understand the pain of losing your sister, but don't forget that Ji Tingchu just lost his wife."

Tong Lin wanted to say something, but didn't say anything. He flicked his sleeves and said, "Let's go!"

See them walk out the gate.Master Ji heaved a sigh of relief, bowed to Chu Jiang, and said, "Thank you, Mr. Chu, for your rescue. Please go to the hall to have tea."

After the tea was brewed, Chu Jiang took a few sips and thought it tasted good.

"Lord Chu, we really don't know the reason for Tong Xiaoru's death. Didn't several of them die a while ago? I heard that they were all in red clothes and died with sharp arrows piercing their chests. Do you think Xiaoru also... ..”

Chu Jiang opened the teacup, and seeing that Master Ji's voice had dropped, he said, "It's hard to say, but I came here today to ask Ting Chu a few questions. After I finish asking, maybe the result will come out."

Everyone looked at Ji Tingchu, Ji Tingchu said expressionlessly, "Excuse me, my lord."

"Is there anyone who falls in love with you? It's not because you don't want to marry," Chu Jiang paused, "Men also count."

When Ji Tingchu was asked this question, he couldn't help but blushed, and said, "No!"

"Don't you want to have a moment?"

"No need." Ji Tingchu said, "Students have always focused on their studies, and no one has ever fallen in love with me, and no one has fallen in love with anyone."

Hearing what he said, Chu Jiangkai glanced at Xie Luo, who was drinking tea with his head down, unable to see his expression.Master Chu did not miss the contradictions in Ji Tingchu's words.

"Since you don't fall in love with anyone, why do you want to marry a wife?"

Ji Tingchu was questioned for a while, and after a while, he said, "The court law does not stipulate that the wife you marry must be the one you love. Getting married and starting a business, marrying a wife and having children is the foundation of filial piety. There is nothing wrong with me marrying a wife. You, my lord, are lonely so far, can you be worthy of giving birth to you and raising your parents?"

I didn't want Ji Ting to appear weak and weak at the beginning, but his words were full of guns and sticks, and instead pushed the problem to Chu Jiang.Master Ji who was on the side gave him winks repeatedly, but he turned a blind eye.

"I'm an orphan." Master Chu said humanely, but he didn't mind Ji Tingchu's unreasonableness at all, "What's more, I have someone I love."

"Since you have love, why don't you marry?"

"Because..." Chu Jiang smiled, and Tao Hua's eyes instantly filled with tenderness, "The people I love are men just like me."

The teacup in Master Ji's hand fell to the ground, Ji Tingchu gasped, Xie Luo raised his eyes, and looked at Chu Jiangkai in surprise.

"But I don't think there's anything wrong with it." Chu Jiang Kai looked at the reactions of the three of them proudly.If anyone knew about this, he would probably beat him on the head and call him childish.He took a sip of tea and said, "I'll ask you next. On the wedding night, besides you and Tong Xiaoru, who else entered the new house?"

Ji Tingchu calmed down, felt Xie Luo's hand tightening his arm, a little disapproving, he said, "There are also Tong Xiaoru's dowry maid, two bridesmaids, matchmaker." He stopped as if thinking After a while, "There are a few other children who followed up to watch the excitement, but were kicked out later."

"How long after you entered the house did the bride die?"

Ji Tingchu lowered his head, thought for a moment, and then said, "Take off the hipa, and after everyone else has gone out, I asked her to open the window for me because I drank too much wine, and the window was opened, and the outside flew in." A sharp arrow pierced her with a poof, and she fell down."

"You're lying." Chu Jiang opened the way, and he looked at Ji Tingchu fixedly.Ji Tingchu was also not afraid, and looked straight into Chu Jiangkai's eyes.He was obviously a scholar with such a weak and elegant appearance, but his eyes at this time were terrifyingly sharp.

"I'm not lying." Ji Tingchu's words were flat.

"The arrow on Tong Xiaoru's body didn't come from flying."

Ji Tingchu laughed at himself and said, "How would I know, I was already drunk at the time, and Tong Xiaoru fell to the ground all of a sudden, with an arrow stuck in his chest, it must have come from outside."

really.In that case, anyone who saw it would think that the arrow flew in from the outside.Ji Tingchu mentioned the detail of opening the window. The assailant was probably waiting outside the window, but how did the assailant know that Tong Xiaoru would open the window?

Unless... this was planned from the beginning!Ji Tingchu is definitely not as simple as his appearance.Even if he didn't kill Tong Xiaoru himself, he must be one of the driving forces behind the scenes.The point is who is the other person?

Xie Luo was always under his nose that night, and there was no chance to commit the crime.

and many more.

Chu Jiangkai thought of those children who were going to the bridal chamber with the groom, maybe they saw something.
