strange village

"I heard that the Fourth Wife and the First Wife were at odds, but now both of them are dead, what should one do?" Mo Tan said

"The Fourth Wife's character is a bit easy to offend people. If she is too sharp, she will shoot you at the top. If she finds an opportunity, she will punish you to death. I haven't been beaten to death by the eldest wife in these years. I didn't expect to die like this .” Shuang Ye said.

"Okay, then I won't disturb your rest, let's rest earlier, I will definitely look for you again tomorrow." Saying that, Shuang Ye and Mo Tan retreated.

Seeing Dongyue in a daze, Zhu Yao refused to watch the pig heart soup that night, and said in a low voice, "Take a couple of sips, if you feel uncomfortable, drink less."

Dongyue suppressed the discomfort, but still nodded obediently. Zhu Yao picked up the bowl and fed him a few mouthfuls. After drinking the hot soup, his face seemed to have regained some color.

"If you're so afraid, don't make up your own mind." Zhu Yao said, but there was no sense of blame in his tone.

Dongyue looked at him aggrieved, but he was timid and honest, but he always witnessed such things inexplicably.

"In the future, you have to listen to what other people say, and you have to ask and discuss with them before doing anything." After saying this, Zhu Yao's eyes flickered.

After a while, he said again: "You have to trust me, remember?"

Dongyue felt a little surprised when she heard this, and raised her head to look at Zhu Yao. After a while, he understood the meaning of the words, and nodded obediently.Just now, Zhu Yao had clearly reminded him not to approach him anymore, but he didn't listen to him. He couldn't blame others for feeling uncomfortable. Thinking of Dongyue, she couldn't help but feel a little guilty. With such a big reaction, it is obvious that she is not an ordinary girl.

"When you feel better, go wash it first, and forget about it after you sleep." Zhu Yao gently patted his shoulder with his hand, and Dongyue felt that there was still a lingering bloody smell in her nasal cavity, no matter what Even hard breathing couldn't get rid of the smell, which made me very uncomfortable, but I followed his words and went to the bathroom.

In the bathroom, he rubbed his body up and down twice with soap before he came out of the bathroom. Probably because the steam from the bath had purified his nasal cavity, he really didn't smell blood anymore, leaving only the fresh scent of soap.Looking around, I saw that Zhu Yao was lying on the bed, his eyes were closed tightly, and his breathing was steady, as if he had fallen asleep.

Dongyue felt very envious in her heart. When she encountered such a horrific incident, she was so heartless that she fell asleep so quickly. She was a ruthless person. After thinking about it, she decided not to wake him up, but quietly turned on the desk lamp. Dimmed, and then lay down next to him, another person's body temperature came from behind, maybe it was the effect of the bowl of pig heart and longan soup, Dongyue also fell asleep quickly.

I had no dreams all night, woke up the next day, it was already bright, and I really had a good night's sleep. The haze of last night had been driven away by the warm sunshine, and the weather outside was excellent.

Zhu Yao had already woken up, and when he saw that he was awake, he urged him to get up, and soon the breakfast was brought, and the rich aroma of rice permeated the room, making it very warm and appetizing.

It should be Shuang Ye's special order, and the kitchen thoughtfully brought white rice porridge and a few light side dishes, not too greasy and meaty. After witnessing the tragedy last night, no one would have the desire to eat meat.The staple food is vegetarian buns, three delicacies siu mai, gold and silver steamed buns, and a few sweet and salty pastries. Dongyue ate a lot.

Sometimes, sleep seems to be omnipotent. It's a big deal. People still can't escape the two things of eating and sleeping. If you eat enough and sleep enough, the bad luck seems to be half gone.

"Eat slowly, be careful that your stomach will hurt." Zhu Yao finally served another bowl of hot soup to Dongyue, thus ending the breakfast.

Not a while after the meal, Mo Tan came. Seeing that Dongyue was fine, he felt relieved, and joked, "Your face was so pale last night, I thought you were going to faint in Ah Yao's arms." It's inside."

"What are you talking about? How could you faint? I wouldn't do that. It's just because in the middle of the night, the atmosphere is really wrong and scary." Dongyue's cheeks were red.

Zhu Yao remained silent, only letting him argue, but his brows seemed to rise a little.

"Did you find anything?" Zhu Yao asked, seemingly in a good mood.

"No, you are the first to find out, the guards of this compound, we became blind instead, and let people kill people and skin them right under our noses." Mo Tan said.

"This is called darkness under the lamp." Dongyue said.

"What does Master Chu have to say?" Zhu Yao asked.

Mo Tan shook his head, his expression seemed to have some regret and pity.

What about the one-day couple and hundred-day kindness that was agreed, is Chu Yunfan so unfeeling to his woman?

Dongyue thought about it again, well, since it was such a horrible death, it would be better not to see her, if the fourth wife knew about it, she probably didn't want her former lover to see her like that.

It turns out that the deceased fourth wife's name was Xu Yinuo, Yinuoqianjin, which is really a good name, but there is no one who cherishes her here.

"I don't have much contact with the fourth wife. She has been favored too much. After a while, she has a weird temper and is not good at socializing. She is an upright person. It's a pity." Mo Tan said.

"There is no murder weapon and no trace of blood? This is too abnormal. When was the last time someone saw the fourth lady?" Dongyue poured hot tea for all three of them.

"It's very strange. Someone saw him during dinner time. He was the one who brought her dinner at night. She picked up the meal herself." Mo Tan said.

"The delivery time is seven o'clock?" Dongyue asked.

"That's right, this is the time every day. If there is no accident, it will be at this time. Food delivery is basically on time, and the error will not exceed 5 minutes." Mo Tan seems to be very familiar with the way of life here.

"We came back around ten o'clock yesterday. When did we find out? Hey, I don't remember." Dongyue scratched her head.

"It was about 15:[-] when they arrived. It took at least [-] minutes to walk from the venue, plus the notification time, it was a round trip, which is half an hour, so the body should be around [-]:[-] to [-]:[-] Discovered within ten minutes?" Zhu Yao said.

That is to say, during the two hours and 10 minutes from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], the murderer completed the whole process of killing and skinning, and placed the body here, but he sneaked away and left the door open, causing people found out?

"Why is there no handle at the door?" Dongyue asked.

"The front of the Fourth Wife's courtyard has been like this for a long time, and the nearest sentry post is three to five minutes away." Mo Tan said.

"That's why we created such a convenience for the murderer. If there are guards, everyone who comes in and out will be clear." Dongyue seems to be quite dissatisfied with the Chu family's arrangement for Xu Yinuo. Will the tragedy never happen?In fact, this is not the case. If it were so, the eldest wife would not be poisoned without anyone noticing and lose her life inexplicably.

"Actually, although it was Chu Yunfan who snubbed Xu Yinuo, the person who dismissed all her maids and guards was the eldest wife Jiang Qiaofeng. The two have been at odds for a long time, so it's not news." Mo Tan said.

"That is to say, Xu Yinuo is the person most likely to hold grudges against the eldest wife and murder her, but now she is dead too." Dongyue said.

"That's exactly the case, that's why it's called a strange thing." Mo Tan said.

"Could it be someone from outside who came in and killed someone and then tried to get out?" Dongyue asked.

"It's no wonder you think so, but this is very difficult to do." Mo Tan said.

"How?" Dongyue asked.

"Although the fence of the Chu family doesn't look very high, it's not easy to climb over the wall. There are anti-theft high-voltage power grids on the top of the wall. If you touch it, you will be finished and you will be electrocuted immediately. Have you ever seen birds parked on this fence?" Mo Tan said.

Dongyue thought about it, and it seemed that there was really no such thing. I thought it was because there were not many birds in this place, but now it seems that there are other reasons.

"But since there is technology to manufacture such things, isn't it possible to have a solution?" Dongyue asked.

"Let's put it this way, the Chu family has such a large family business, but it hasn't been broken into by thieves for years, do you believe this?" Mo Tan said.

Dongyue nodded.

"To be able to kill the Fourth Wife within two hours without anyone noticing it, and still deal with it so neatly, must be a skilled person who has to move the corpse. Is it more likely that a man is a man?" Mo Tan said. own inferences.

"It doesn't rule out the possibility of women partnering to commit crimes." Dongyue said.

"To be honest, the eldest wife is not the only one who doesn't like Xu Yinuo. The eldest wife's maid also dislikes her. Could it be Penghu and Penghua?" Mo Tan speculated.

Dongyue and Zhu Yao looked at each other, as if they had guessed the possibility, after all, the sound of beating and scolding that night was unusual.

"Has she offended anyone yet?" Zhu Yao asked.

"Fifth wife and eldest wife have a good relationship, so naturally they don't like her. If there are other people...Master Chu?" After Mo Tan said it, he seemed to startle himself for a while, and then denied it to himself : "Can't you?"

"If Chu Yunfan didn't want to see her again, would he use such a trick?" Dongyue asked.

"Supposedly it's not necessary. Just drive people out and find a secluded place to do it. Why bother to make a big fuss and let everyone know?" Mo Tan was even more confused.

"Could it be that the fourth wife has some ulterior secret about Chu Yunfan, and she fell out of favor only after she was discovered? Now she is trying to silence others and make an example of others? She is warning others who might betray him?" Dongyue guessed road.

"Chu Yunfan's handle? What could it be? If you want to say that, you should have done it a long time ago. Why wait all these years? How did Master Chu know that Xu Yinuo didn't tell others the secret for such a long time, or Where are the backups stored?" Mo Tan said.

Dongyue nodded and said, "It makes sense, I can't figure it out."

"Although I also want to say that it's fine to leave this matter to Ah Qing, and let him worry about it alone, but now I feel that I can't ignore it. If I don't catch anyone, the eldest wife's body will stink." Tan said.

As soon as Dongyue imagined the smell, the expression on her face distorted slightly, and Zhu Yao also frowned slightly.

"Where are the corpses stored?" Zhu Yao asked.

"It's been in the eldest wife's own room before, it's been more than two days, and there are more corpses, probably sent to the cellar for temporary storage." Mo Tan said.

"Is there a cellar here?" Dongyue was a little curious.

"Yes, I dug very deep, the air is cold underneath, and it's relatively dry here. There is ice in the cellar, so it's very cold. In fact, I think it's better to bury it first, but the people of the Chu family won't allow it." Mo Tan road.

"Are people here buried after death?" Dongyue was puzzled, and after asking this question, her eyes drifted to Zhu Yao, observing his expression secretly.

Zhu Yao didn't change his expression at all, Mo Tan replied: "Families like the Chu family should be buried, but the fourth wife is not necessarily."

It seems that a very old and traditional funeral method is still used here, but the whole family is different, which is really strange.

"How do you say? Fourth wife has a will?" Dongyue asked

"Not really, it just depends on what Master Chu wants." Mo Tan said.

"Everyone is dead, why are you still so biased? There's no need for this, right?" Dongyue murmured softly.

"Even so, you can't control yourself after death, everyone understands that." Mo Tan said.

"Let's keep the corpse and the evidence well for now." Zhu Yao said with his eyes drifting towards Dongyue.

Dongyue thought, if one of the necessary conditions for the opening of the channel is that someone dies, then now the opportunity has come, but what should be done next?Is it okay to dispose of the corpse?In this way, it seems that there should be a room similar to the white building.
