strange village

"Actually, all of Chu Yunfan's wives are amazing." Zhu Yao said.

Hearing that the topic returned to the business, Dongyue immediately got out from under the pillow.

"How do you say? What did Geng Xuemeng tell you?" Dongyue suddenly became interested, just like gossip.

Zhu Yao sat down on another sofa, stretching her long legs gracefully, looking at Dongyue with deep eyes, and said in a low voice, "You want to know?"

Dongyue raised her head slightly to look at him, her two round eyes looked at him, and she nodded her head like a pest: "I want to know!"

Originally, he wanted to play tricks and whet his appetite, but seeing this appearance, Zhu Yao instantly felt defeated.

"She wants someone to take her away from the Chu family."

Dongyue was stunned: "How is this possible? Do you believe her?"

Zhu Yao said, "Why don't you believe me?"

"Isn't she lying to you in order to seduce you? Isn't she very favored? Once the eldest wife dies, isn't she the one who has the final say on the affairs of the family?"

Dongyue had a lot of doubts in her mind. Although a lot of information was based on hearsay, when it was said that Geng Xuemeng wanted to leave, he didn't believe it at all.

"Think about it, three of the six wives of the Chu family have died now. The eldest wife is so powerful, she was poisoned to death without a sound, and her body has disappeared. She is a little girl, can she not be afraid? ? Now that the fourth wife has died like this, and she has seen it, what do you think will happen to her?" Zhu Yao said.

"But you said you want to run away? That's impossible. Without the protection of the Chu family, how can she live? Does she have a place to go?" Dongyue said.

"That's what I said. These few are not simple. The first wife has an excellent family background, the second wife has reputation and popularity, the fourth wife is knowledgeable, the fifth wife is sharp and smart, and the sixth wife may not be obvious now, but maybe She is very good at manipulating men, they all have their own ability to survive, but they are willing to stay dormant in the Chu family, besides relying on Chu Yunfan, can't there be something else?" Zhu Yao seemed to be inducing him.

"You mean that they have their own goals in the Chu family? The sixth wife also has plans, but now that she knows about the dead person, she realizes that the price is too high and the gain outweighs the loss, so she wants to leave?" Dongyue said.

"Exactly." Zhu Yao said.

"But I still don't have a clue, so what do you think she drew?" Dongyue was still confused, and simply lay on the spacious sofa, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

"Don't sleep." Zhu Yao called him.

"I didn't sleep, I just can't figure it out." Dongyue said, turned over and looked at him with a tilted head.

"I have to remind Chu Qing to stare at Geng Xuemeng, she is not completely without motive." Zhu Yao said.

"What do you mean?"

"Get rid of the eldest wife, put the blame on the fourth wife, and finally kill the fourth wife. As long as the evidence of killing the fourth wife can be led to outsiders, there will be no proof. Although she played last night's show now, but also Maybe it's just a play, deliberately clearing oneself of suspicion."

"Leaving the Chu family, isn't her purpose to give up all her previous efforts?" Dongyue asked.

"So, we still have to help her and see how she acts." Zhu Yao seemed to have thought carefully for a long time before reaching this conclusion.

"Cheat her? Follow her? It's not good," he said in his mouth, but his body didn't mean it at all, and he even rubbed his hands a little excitedly.

"You don't have to do it deliberately, just wait for her to come to us." Zhu Yao said.

"Are you so confident? Do you think she will take the initiative to come to you?" Dongyue asked.

Zhu Yao lightly raised his sword eyebrows, seemingly disapproving, and did not answer.

"Then tell me, these people, are they all the secrets of the Chu family's sudden prosperity?" Dongyue rubbed her fingers and said.

"The secret of the Chu family?"

"Do you remember? As I said before, the Chu family used to be engaged in the transportation industry. Although this business is good, it still earns hard money. Later, for some reason, they started to get involved in gold and oil, and they got their status today. Don't you Do you think the span of this industry is a bit large?" Dongyue said.

"Go ahead." Zhu Yao said.

"It's not easy to get involved in gold and oil. Where did Chu Yunfan suddenly get these precious information and resources? Speaking of the time when the Chu family prospered, according to Mo Tan, it should be before and after the marriage between Chu Yunfan and the eldest wife. So the position of the eldest wife in the Chu family is very stable. Could it be because the Jiang family provided some technical convenience for the Chu family, or maybe it was funds? But even so, gold and oil are not It came out of nowhere, even in a resource-rich place, it’s not like opening a mine casually is a rich mine, right? So, I think the secret of the sudden prosperity of the Chu family is a guide map of rich mines. Chu Yunfan used this thing to persuade the Jiang family to help him, and that's how he developed." What Dongyue said was very reasonable.

"There is some truth in what you say, it's a bit like that, but according to what you said, the things should be in Chu Yunfan's hands. Why did the murderer go all out to kill and not move Chu Yunfan?" What a good question. .

"I can't figure this out either. Maybe the part in Chu Yunfan's hand is no longer valuable, or it needs to be combined with other information to have greater value, and the eldest wife is obstructing this matter and blocking other people's information." said, so it was removed." Dongyue was about to gently put the bone china cup and saucer on the table, but picked up the silver spoon for stirring and tapped the table lightly.

But Zhu Yao stepped over, sat on the sofa seat beside him, pressed his hand, moved the cup aside first, and took the silver spoon from his hand.

"What are you doing?" Dongyue was very dissatisfied with his series of small actions.

"Stop playing, talk about it, what do you think of Chu Yunfan?" Zhu Yao stopped his playful behavior, and brought the topic back to the main topic.

"Although it's just a guess right now, according to what Chu Qing and Mo Tan said, he's just a pious old fritter, maybe he's very vicious and cruel in his actions, which doesn't match his thin aristocratic demeanor at all Dongyue said.

"I don't know what Chu Yunfan is doing these few nights? No one will believe him even if he is the murderer." Zhu Yao said.

"Well, although I don't like him, I don't think he is the murderer." Dongyue looked directly at Zhu Yao with clear eyes.

Zhu Yao was silent for a moment, let go of his hand, and then nodded again.

Dongyue broke free from his clutches and was finally free. She turned over and lay down on the sofa again, completely out of shape.

"Hey, don't talk about this, just look, do you envy so many beautiful girls in the Chu family?" Dongyue lay down comfortably.

Zhu Yao's fingers curled up slightly, his lips pursed slightly, and he didn't answer for a long while. His hands were long and graceful, not like a pair of typing code hands, but more like an artist's hands, able to knead and knead all delicate lines.

Seeing that he was silent, Dongyue thought that he was deliberately ignoring her, so she bent her knees and arched his waist, urging: "Speak."

I didn't realize that my behavior was similar to teasing.

Dongyue continued his inexplicable and ridiculous behavior, but Zhu Yao suddenly turned around to face him, grabbed his dishonest calf with his right hand, and subdued him in minutes.

Dongyue's whole body was numb from his deep eyes, and she felt a little uncomfortable. Her eyes wandered around and inadvertently swept across his neck, Adam's apple, and then collarbone, following the line, followed by incomplete A small piece of fair skin was exposed from the collar of the buttoned shirt, and for some reason, he suddenly blushed uncontrollably and his heart beat.

Zhu Yao had a panoramic view of his reaction, his black eyes were unfathomable, after a while, his lips parted slightly, and said, "No way."

It took Dongyue a few seconds to remember that he was answering his frivolous question.

"When it comes to girls, don't you be afraid? Do you know what your name is?" Zhu Yao said coldly.

"What's wrong with me?" Dongyue was obviously dissatisfied.

"The color makes the mind faint." Zhu Yao spit out four words coldly.

"I'm not, I don't!" Dongyue retorted

"I still said no, use your brain, many details are connected, pointing to the fact that the murderer is probably a woman, so maybe it is one of your beautiful sisters."

"No, it's said that love is born from the heart, and pretty people are generally not too bad, right?"

Zhu Yao raised his eyebrows a little, as if he had heard some fantasy, and then said: "It's ridiculous, this is purely judging people by their appearance."

"But most of the time, isn't it useful to judge people by their appearance? You also want to kill me." Although Dongyue was a little bit unconvinced, she still knew in her heart that Zhu Yao's words were not wrong. She turned her head to one side, leaned on a pillow, and said, "I see, can't I stop being envious? What's wrong with a man liking a beautiful woman? I didn't do anything, I just thought about it, can't I?" .”

Zhu Yao frowned, and the force suppressing Dongyue's calf seemed to have suddenly become stronger, and he said two words bluntly to answer him: "No."

"Okay, okay, I know, oops, pinch it lightly, it hurts, can't you be gentle with me?" Dongyue said painfully.

Seeing him crying out for pain, Zhu Yao let go of the strength in his hands, and Dongyue's tense body relaxed a little, and wanted to reach out to push Zhu Yao, this pushing hands just touched Zhu Yao's chest, and the feeling of that muscle made him Like an electric shock, he quickly retracted his hands, but he couldn't tell what was wrong in his heart, and he was in a dilemma for a while.

Zhu Yao sensed his strange reaction, and only said: "Here, don't trust anyone easily, and women are the same, especially beautiful women."

"I know, I know." Dongyue agreed perfunctorily.

"That Yuan Tinghe is the same." Zhu Yao's tone seemed to be very unhappy.

"Ah? Why?" Dongyue was puzzled.

"Aren't you afraid of poisonous snakes again? Zhu Yao turned around and didn't look at him.

"Of course I'm afraid!" I remembered that there was another poisonous snake that was running away and I hadn't caught it.

"Then you still ask why." Zhu Yao's voice gradually dropped.

"..." Dongyue was speechless for a moment.

The room was quiet for a moment, and after a while, a knock on the door finally broke the silent embarrassment.
