strange village

He looked at Chu Qing, wondering if he had thought of this too, but who knew that Chu Qing was also looking at him, his eyes sparkling, but he didn't speak.

Suddenly there was movement outside the door, and then the door was pushed open. It was Chu Qing who came in. He hurried into the room in a suit of neat clothes, panting, and said, "It's not good."

Mo Tan got up from the sofa, Dongyue was also taken aback.

"What's wrong?" Mo Tan asked.

"The eldest wife's body is gone!" Chu Qing's voice was no longer calm, and her breath was not yet calmed down.

"What?" Mo Tan looked surprised, the news was like a bolt from the blue.

"Ah?" How come?Don't you scare me?Dongyue involuntarily leaned in Zhu Yao's direction.

"Where was the eldest lady's body?" Zhu Yao asked.

"It's in her bedroom." Mo Tan said.

"Is someone guarding?" Dongyue asked.

"The guards have been transferred to look for snakes and patrol. Penghu and Penghua are still in charge of the affairs of the courtyard. Today, they said they were going to transfer the corpse to the cellar, only to find that it was gone!" Chu Qing said.

"Could it be!" Mo Tan and Dongyue said in unison.

"You talk first." Mo Tan calmed down, and sat down on the sofa behind him.

Dongyue nodded, and then said: "The fourth wife died last night, and the body of the eldest wife is missing today. Could it be that the unrecognizable corpse is not the fourth wife at all, but the eldest wife? Because The deceased was wearing the clothes of the Fourth Wife, so we thought she must be the Fourth Wife, but she was actually following the murderer's way."

"Then when did you find out that the body was gone? When was the last time you saw the body was still there?" Mo Tan asked the guard.

"Peng Hua went to prepare to move the body to the cellar in the morning and found it. The last time I checked it should have been last night!" said the guard.

"Is it just for you to check?" Dongyue asked.

"It's me." The guard replied.

"Are you sure that is indeed the body of the eldest lady?" Dongyue asked again.

"The posture of the corpse is the same as before, I haven't approached it." The guard said.

"So you looked at the door?" Dongyue asked.

The guard nodded.

Dongyue remained silent and looked at the others.

Mo Tan continued: "In this way, the fourth wife may not be dead at all! Or, is there a possibility that the eldest wife is not dead?"

Several people looked at each other.

"Go, go and invite Dr. Chong!" Chu Qing gave an order to the guards.

As soon as the man bowed, he quickly left the room.

"What exactly does the murderer want to do?" Chu Qing said.

"If it's as we guessed, I'm afraid it's the Chu family. It's not very safe. How is Miss Chu Xuan?" Dongyue's voice softened a little when she mentioned Chu Xuan.

"The class was suspended from the day before yesterday. Let her study at home for a few days. Don't look at her appearance. She has practiced well since she was a child. It should be fine if ordinary people can't get close to her." Chu Qing replied.

"It's better to pay more attention." Dongyue persuaded sincerely, but she didn't notice that Zhu Yao's eyes were firmly glued to his lips.

"It's been so many days, and all the places that should be searched have been searched, so where is this person hiding? This is unreasonable, no matter whether it is the eldest wife or the fourth wife, there is not such a person in the Chu family." Chu Qing said.

"Could it be that there is actually an unknown secret room or secret passage in this house?" Dongyue said.

"Ah Qing?" Mo Tan looked at Chu Qing.

There was a trace of hesitation in Chu Qing's expression: "I don't have such a place in my impression."

Could it be because Chu Qingxuan was too young at the time, and Chu Yunfei and his wife died unexpectedly before they could tell them?

After a while, Dr. Chong arrived, and seeing that he was the only one coming alone, Chu Qing hurriedly invited him in.

Mo Tan sized him up, then looked outside the door behind him, and asked, "Hey, isn't Xiao Xiangzi here?"

"Yes, Mrs. Six is ​​not feeling well. I asked Kong Xiang to take care of her, but she hasn't come back yet." Chong Shizhao said.

"Don't go around the bush, I'll just say it straight. Is it possible that the eldest wife is not dead?" Chu Qing asked straight away, his eyes like torches.

Chong Shizhao was obviously taken aback, and took half a step back before sitting down, stuck on the edge of the chair and couldn't move.

"This! What do you mean by this?"

"Is there a way to make people look dead, but not actually dead?" Chu Qing asked.

Isn't this the fake death drug?In fact, it is a drug that makes people go into shock, causing temporary no breathing and no heartbeat.Although it is effective, the side effects are not small, maybe a mistake, my life is really over, it is not a big thing that needs to be covered up, there is no need to do this, the gain outweighs the loss.

"Yes, but the eldest wife is definitely not in suspended animation. With that dose of chamaejasma, she will definitely not be able to survive. I can guarantee this."

It is said that Chong Shizhao has been a live-in doctor in the Chu family for many years, and it is unreasonable that even the eldest wife admits his mistake, so it seems that this person is indeed dead through and through.

"Is there anything unusual about the body of the fourth wife? Is it possible that it is actually the body of the eldest wife?" Chu Qing asked again.

"Impossible." The answer was unexpectedly quick and decisive.

"Why?" Chu Qing asked.

"Master, don't you notice? This is too obvious. The first wife is tall and the fourth wife is petite. I have been in the Chu family for so many years. It is impossible to admit it wrongly. There will be some changes after the corpse dies, but within two days , it’s not that even the length of the body is beyond recognition.”

Chu Qing pondered for a moment, it seemed to be true.

"What about the fourth wife? Are you sure it's her?" Chu Qing asked.

"The body shape is indeed the same, and the fourth wife's body does not have any special signs, but this is not impossible to check, but it will take some time." Chong Shizhao said.

"Then please confirm the identity of the corpse as soon as possible." Chu Qing's expression was extremely serious.

"Speaking of which, it was said that the fourth wife was punished that day, what happened?" Mo Tan mentioned the previous incident again.

"I heard what the guard said, that the eldest lady instructed her maid, and we heard the sound of beating and scolding outside the yard." Dongyue said.

"I asked Peng Hua about this, and she said that she was ordered by the eldest wife to admonish Xu Yinuo that day, and she left in the middle of the night." Chu Qing said.

"That is to say, no one saw what she was doing from midnight to breakfast the next day?" Dongyue asked.

"Let's put it this way, I didn't expect that the most neglected person would become the freest person and the most likely murderer at this moment." Mo Tan said.

"Then she does have a motive, and she does have time to poison the eldest wife." Dongyue murmured.

Zhu Yao nodded silently after hearing this, which is indeed the case so far.

"I think the top priority is to check around to see if there are other exits leading to the outside. Now the most important thing is to prevent new victims." Dongyue said.

"Ah Yue is right. If the Chu family's house is not monolithic at all, then it's not safe for us to lock everyone here. The murderer transfers the murder weapon from the secret passage and escapes after killing people. We can't catch him at all. , but provided the murderer with the best stage." Mo Tan looked at Chu Qing anxiously.

"But in the past two days, I searched the whole house looking for snakes. There was nothing at all. I caught a few snakes, but the Secret Dao really didn't have any." Chu Qing's long blond hair was tied up on his chest, looking pretty His brows were furrowed.

"What about the interior? Have you searched the interior, especially the study room or the more private places in the bedroom." Dongyue said.

"I'll order someone to investigate again immediately." Chu Qing was about to call someone.

"Wait, I'll go with you!" Mo Tan said.

"Wait a minute." It was Zhu Yao who spoke, "Do you have the architectural drawings of the Chu residence?"

"Yes, if there are blueprints, it may be easier to see where it is easy to build a secret path." Dongyue said.

"The blueprints are not in my hands, but have always been with my uncle. I'll find a way to borrow them." Chu Qing said, bowed to greet the two, and went out to check the yard with Mo Tan.

As soon as the two left, Dongyue slumped on the sofa and groaned, "What should I do? It's really a hell."

Zhu Yao stood at the tea table behind making tea, and said, "Are you scared now?"

Dongyue rolled around on the sofa with her pillow in her arms, and said, "I've always been afraid."

"Really?" Zhu Yao glanced at him, and there seemed to be a smile in his deep eyes.

"It really scared me last night."

Zhu Yao poured out a cup of hot tea, with white smoke still rising, and said, "Will you drink it? The peace of mind tea sent by Shuangye."

"Calm your mind? Is there such a magical thing here?" Dongyue got up from the sofa and looked at the tea on the table.

"It's just some flowers, fruits and herbs that clear the fire and calm the pulse." Zhu Yao explained briefly, "Sit down and drink."

Dongyue immediately rolled up and sat up straight, leaned close to the teacup and smelled it, it seemed that there was some fragrance of jasmine, but it tasted sour and sweet.

According to Shuang Ye, the temperature difference between day and night in this area is very large, and the weather is relatively dry, which can easily cause excessive consumption of fluid in the body. Drinking something that nourishes the lungs and promotes body fluid can warm and nourish the blood vessels, soothe liver stagnation, and calm the mind.

"What do you think the murderer thinks? Killing people kills people, and even peels off the skin of the whole body. It's such a trouble. What kind of hatred is this?" Dongyue tilted her head and supported her cheek with one hand.

"Then there are many possibilities. First, to hate the dead and intentionally humiliate the deceased. Second, skinning has a special meaning for the murderer. Third, to cover up the real identity of the deceased."

Dongyue nodded, and said, "I think it's possible, and there are all the reasons you mentioned."

Then, he didn't know what to think of, and his eyes flickered.

Zhu Yao asked, "What did you say to Yuan Tinghe last night?"

"Last night?" Dongyue was taken aback, and the blood corpse was so frightened that his previous memory was blurred and confused, and he couldn't figure out what Zhu Yao was referring to.

"Aren't the two hugging each other affectionately, whispering quietly?" Zhu Yao asked.

How can two men talk about some gossip and little secrets, and say it through your mouth, so yin and yang are so weird?

"Hee hee." Dongyue laughed when she remembered how Zhu Yao was entangled by Geng Xuemeng.

"What are you laughing at?" Zhu Yao frowned slightly.

"I didn't say anything, I'm so happy for you seeing how blessed you are." Dongyue giggled.

"Nonsense." Zhu Yao looked at him coldly.

"I didn't, we've all seen it, Mrs. Six is ​​very fond of you." Dongyue lowered her head slightly, for some reason, she was a little afraid to look up into Zhu Yao's eyes.

us?who are we?Me and the door?Zhu Yao gritted his teeth thinking.

Knowing who he was referring to, when Zhu Yao found out that the two words in his mouth did not include him, even though it was an insignificant matter, he was slightly stung in his heart.

"Humph."

"What are you humming, let me declare first, I'm not jealous." Dongyue said this, but she felt a little guilty.

"Really? Why do I think you're jealous?" Zhu Yao's tone became playful.

Dongyue suddenly became confused, and said in a panic: "That's Chu Yunfan's wife, and I don't like her, why are you jealous, if you talk nonsense, I will!"

"What about you?" Zhu Yao looked at him with curiosity in his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Dongyue spit out four words: "I'm angry!"

Hearing this, Zhu Yao was taken aback for a moment, then turned around, his shoulders trembling uncontrollably... He was clearly holding back his laughter!But when he raised his head afterwards, he still had the same indifferent expression on his face, but there was a slight blush on his face, silently implying the truth.

Dongyue buried her head under the pillow, secretly angry, although she couldn't figure out why she was angry, anyway, I'll talk about it after Mr.
