strange village

"Perhaps the more powerful a person is, the easier it is to form grudges. How many pairs of eyes are watching you. Some people are jealous when you do well, and some people hate you when you don't do well. It's not surprising that there are some enemies. This is their family. It's something I only understand, the two of us are the most irrelevant, why bother with that much." Dongyue said.

"Well, you can just eat and drink, until you get fat..." Zhu Yao stared at his mouth, but didn't say any more, there was some emotion hidden in his eyes as black as deep pools.

Dongyue seemed to be waiting for him to continue, but there was movement outside the door, she leaned forward and saw that Mo Tan had come.

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, he obviously saw this luminous body that was quite conspicuous in the dark. He strode towards them and said, "You two are so free, you are having fun here."

As she got closer and closer, she saw that there were still people following the door.

"What can you do if you don't play this, there is no entertainment here." Dongyue said.

It turned out that it was already time for dinner, the people behind Mo Tan entered the room, set up the dinner, and left one after another.

"Actually, there are some, but the location of this courtyard is relatively rare, and there are probably not so many things. I told Ah Qing later, I will find something for you to enjoy, so as to save you from being bored." Mo Tan laughed.

"Ah Qing is too busy today, and I don't feel like being alone, so I won't go back to eat, so let's have a meal with you guys."

Dongyue nodded and said, "You've been there for so long, what did you find?"

"There are a lot of things." Mo Tan was still grinning not long after watching the crime scene.

"See you?" Dongyue asked again.

"what?"

"Corpse."

"seen."

"how?"

So Mo Tan vividly described Jiang Qiaofeng's room to them.When it came to vomit, Dongyue seemed to have imagined something, she held her chest and waved her hand, and said, "No, I have to take it slow, you guys eat first."

Both Zhu Yao and Mo Tan had already taken their seats, while Dongyue was still in the back, groaning and refusing to approach the table, as if she was afraid of hearing something shocking, so she turned around and went to make another pot of tea.

"Don't wait for him, it's probably because we have eaten too much snacks, let's eat first." Zhu Yao glanced in Dongyue's direction and said to Mo Tan.

The meal was as rich as ever, and Dongyue couldn't resist the temptation in the end, so she drank a bowl of delicious fish cake and vegetable soup.

After the meal, Mo Tan provoked the conversation again, and said, "I see, things are going to be difficult now."

"How to say?" Zhu Yao was a little worried that if the matter was not resolved, they would continue to be trapped here, although it seemed that there was no short-term loss.

Mo Tan replied: "Think about it, the guards at each gate have confirmed that no one left the house in the middle of the night last night, that is to say, the person who poisoned him is still here."

"How could this be?" Dongyue felt unbelievable.

But Zhu Yao said: "The possibility is indeed very high, and the people who poisoned are mostly family members who are very familiar with the situation in this house and the work and rest of the eldest wife. Otherwise, how could they have succeeded so easily."

"Then, isn't it very dangerous here?" Dongyue panicked after hearing Zhu Yao's words.

"I can only hope that the murderer has a clear purpose and won't harm irrelevant people." Mo Tan said.

"Is there anything missing in the eldest lady's room?" Dongyue asked.

"It's not lost. Penghu has confirmed this matter, and everything is there."

"That means it's not trying to make money." Dongyue murmured.

"It's not certain, it may be an attempted theft."

"It's not worth killing people just to steal something," Dongyue said.

"That's true. If the attempted theft is discovered and it's reasonable to just silence it, but there are no obvious signs, and it stands to reason that after the murder, the threat disappears, and the theft should continue."

There is no loss of property, that is to say, the murderer's purpose is closer to simple killing.

"How did the poison be given to the eldest lady?" Dongyue said, looking at Zhu Yao as if asking questions, seeing that he didn't seem to understand what she meant, and then said: "Think about it, if the poison is in the In the meal at night, after eating and before going to bed, the poison will be released, so people around you will definitely find out."

"Could it be the injection of the extract?" Zhu Yao asked.

"No, it's said that Kong Xiang said that the eldest lady took a sufficient amount of wolf's poison orally, so that the onset of the poison is the fastest." Mo Tan denied this guess.

"She couldn't have eaten it by herself, so she probably used some slow-release method." Zhu Yao said.

"Maybe she usually has the habit of taking medicine at night. For some reason, she took it wrong, or was deliberately changed." Dongyue thought.

"If it's not someone who is very familiar with her habits, it probably won't be possible." Mo Tan said.

"I know, the eldest wife must be 40 years old, right?" Dongyue asked.

"It should be 41 years old. I attended her 40th birthday party last year. She is three years younger than Chu Yunfan." Mo Tan replied.

It is not so easy to find a thread among these thousands of threads and to follow along.

Mo Tan also asked: "At this age, what's wrong?"

Dongyue said: "Of course you can't draw any conclusions based on this. I'm just guessing. It's just a guess. It can't be denied that it was a murder of love. After all, the world is so big that there are no surprises."

Mo Tan nodded, and seemed to agree: "A woman in her [-]s met true love, but she couldn't ask for it, and was killed instead. Or maybe it was the other way around, and it was Chu Yunfan's little wife who did it?"

"Okay, I think you two should stop guessing, it's true to go to bed early, and ask tomorrow if there is any progress." Zhu Yao looked at the two train runners with a helpless expression.

Dongyue stuck out her tongue, Mo Tan shrugged, and the two muttered for a while before breaking up.

In the middle of the night, Dongyue woke up in a daze, but her mind was quite clear, thinking that she didn't usually get up at night, so she sat up in a daze for a while, thinking that it might be because she didn't have enough for dinner.

He quietly turned on a wall lamp, thinking about finding something to eat on a cushion before going back to sleep.

But it didn't matter if he turned on the light. When his vision became clear, he broke out in a cold sweat immediately, and the hairs all over his body stood up. In front of him, on the side table opposite the bed, stood a snake with thick wrists!The snake was staring at him intently, spitting out a message, and he dared not move at all. He had heard people say that snakes in the desert are the most poisonous. Although he couldn't tell whether a snake was poisonous or not, at this moment Already out of my wits.

After waiting for a while, he poked Zhu Yao beside him, resisting his desire to scream, and gave him winks with a bitter face.

Zhu Yao didn't sleep soundly, but after being poked a few times by him, she woke up quickly and understood the situation in front of her in an instant.

He scanned the room calmly, looking for tools that could deal with snakes, and finally took down a decorative long sword from the wall.Then he silently hit the waist snake with the scabbard, just hitting the belly of the snake, where the spine was the most vulnerable, the snake collapsed instantly, and then he quickly opened the drawer, knocked the unconscious The snake picked it in, and then closed the drawer tightly. The whole set of actions was extremely fast and completed in one go.

Dongyue was still in shock, and asked tremblingly, "Is it still alive? It won't come out, right?"

He has heard a legend about snakes. It is said that snakes are very vengeful animals. If you want to hit them, you must kill them, otherwise they will miss you and try to come back for revenge.

Zhu Yao turned around, but didn't answer his words. He just stretched out his index finger and shook it against his lips, signaling him not to move or make a sound, but his eyes fell on the place beside him.

Dongyue turned around stiffly and wanted to look, but when she caught sight of something next to her, she was instantly out of her wits!A snake, no less in size than the one just now, was lying on the bedside table at the moment, spitting out the letter V.

Although the snake's hearing is poor, it can easily feel the vibration of the air. Dongyue dare not move at this time, for fear that her small movement will startle the snake and bite it.So he closed his eyes tightly like a hero.

After a while, Dongyue only heard the sound of sharp blades piercing the air in her ears, then heard a soft puff, and then a slap, thinking something hit the ground.

"It's okay, just open your eyes."

Dongyue still had lingering fears in her heart, but she still opened her eyes. On the bedside table next to her, a long sword was thrusting into the body of a snake. Although the snake seemed to have been severely injured, it was still writhing. Dongyue He rushed to the principal's side, seeking some peace of mind for the frightened and fragile little heart.

"Don't be afraid, it should have penetrated into his vitals, and it won't survive." Zhu Yao said calmly. While speaking, he saw that the speed of the snake's twisting gradually became slower and slower, and finally stopped moving.

"Damn it scared me to death. Where did this snake come from? Is it poisonous?" Dongyue's seven souls and eight souls who flew to the sky returned about three minutes away.

Zhu Yao shook his head, "I don't know much about snakes. I can't sleep in this room now. I'd better go out and call someone."

When Dongyue heard this, she wouldn't agree with him, maybe there were other snakes in the house, so he followed without hesitation, "I'll go with you."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhu Yao's clothes and went out to find someone.

Fortunately, not far away, there were guards standing guard at night. After Zhu Yao explained the situation, the guards took some tools and followed them back to the yard.Seeing the snake, the guard said, "This snake is poisonous."

Dongyue broke out in a cold sweat, feeling extremely scared.In case of being bitten, this barren place may not be able to detoxify so quickly, so I may have to explain it here. On the other hand, I admire and appreciate Zhu Yao, and never dare to stay too far away from him easily.

"It's a desert viper. Although it's not the most poisonous cobra, it's enough to bite you. It might come out at night to look for food. How could it get into the house? You rarely see snakes in the house." As the guard said, they swept the room separately, made sure that there were no other snakes, and forked the paralyzed snake out of the drawer, so they felt relieved.
