strange village

"Then...," Dongyue clapped her hands violently, and said, "I know who to ask!"

"You said."

Dongyue was about to speak, but the door rang twice.

Who will it be at this time?

Zhu Yao went to open the door and saw that it was Mo Tan.

"Why are you?" Dongyue was surprised.

"Why can't it be me."

"You never knock on the door."

"Don't talk nonsense, I knocked, I'm not afraid of you...?"

Ok?

"You woke up so soon?"

"After squinting for a while, I couldn't sleep well. I was still overwhelmed by things, and I was so irritable that I simply didn't sleep. I want to talk to you."

"What's the matter? Did you find something?"

Mo Tan curled his lips and said: "Actually, it's not. Maybe it's because Ah Qing is involved in the matter, which makes me have a bad premonition. I'm afraid this matter is not that simple."

Dongyue and Zhu Yao looked at each other tacitly, they always thought so.

"Until the second person died, I actually didn't have any sense of reality. I don't know the eldest wife well. Although the fourth wife knows her, she already looks like that. I really can't connect her with the person I know. Until things point to Ah Qing, I just found out that this murderer is not simple, what is he trying to do?"

"He is excellent," Zhu Yao's words shocked Dongyue, and she turned her gaze to him.

"He killed the most powerful woman in the family first, then killed the most suspected person, and then led the suspicion to the most expected person in the family. If the same person did the warehouse arson, then Chu Everyone in the family, even close relatives, is suspected, and soon people will be fluctuating, and everyone will be in danger."

"It doesn't sound like a good thing. We can't solve this matter as soon as possible." Mo Tan looked anxious, and his face was a little rough due to working day and night recently.

Next, the two of them told Mo Tan what they had seen and heard in the warehouse that day, and what Xiao Yiran found out that the second wife had gone to the cellar.

"Her?" Mo Tan was a little surprised.

"What? Do you think it can't be her?" Dongyue asked.

"That's not true, but in terms of motivation and possibility, I think she is the least likely."

"How to say?"

"You said that it is feasible for her to kill the eldest wife by poison, and she can benefit afterwards, but the fourth wife did not threaten her at all. Why did she kill her, and the body was still in that shape, and then she stole it? How do you get the bones?"

"What if she's not sick at all?" Zhu Yao said.

Mo Tan was taken aback, "You said she was pretending to be sick? All these years? Why?"

This assumption was too bold, and Dongyue was also taken aback, saying, "Then why did she kill the fourth wife?"

"If the Fourth Wife discovered her secret by accident, do you think she would kill to silence her?"

"But there is no evidence to prove it." Mo Tan added.

"Wait for the news from Doctor Chong and you will understand."

Mo Tan paced back and forth, a little restless, and Dongyue's lips were also pursed, biting her lower lip from time to time.

Zhu Yao continued: "This is just a guess. There are also Chu Yunfan's guests. Except for Yuan Tinghe, we have never had contact with any of them. I think it's better to find out."

"Naturally, I will discuss this with Ah Qing, but those few are not very familiar with the situation of the female family members of the Chu family. If it were them, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it so neatly and beautifully, so we didn't focus on doubting them before."

"By the way," Dongyue said suddenly, "Who has the best relationship with Chu Xuan in the family?"

"Well..." Mo Tan crossed his arms, paced back and forth, and half a minute later, he said: "Chu Xuan is easy to talk to, but she is not easy to get close to. It seems that only Shuang Ye is the only friend who has a good relationship. gone."

"That's easy, we have to see Shuangye."

"What did you see her do? Is there something you're hiding from me?"

"Uh, I just have something to ask her, besides, she is by Chu Qing's side, so she is familiar with Chu's surroundings and the guests, isn't she?"

"That's true, but I'm worried about you suddenly like this." Mo Tan looked at Dongyue suspiciously.

"I'm just trying to do this once, and I want to help you a little bit, don't you feel relieved?" Dongyue went over and rubbed her arm.

"Oh, it hurts, don't make trouble," Mo Tan carefully looked at Zhu Yao's face while avoiding his rubbing.

"Okay, I'll ask her to meet with her in a while. It's not sure when, so you should just rest. I heard that you were bumped by the girl from Mrs. Six's place, and it was not serious?"

"Here," Dongyue showed her the scab on her elbow, "it's just a small injury, and it's almost healed."

"Why can't you even catch a girl? This time, you just happened to be honest. Have you rubbed the medicine properly?"

"Wipe it, oh, that's right." Speaking of the medicine, Dongyue suddenly remembered something, and she took Mo Tan's arm like a little sister, and said mysteriously: "Is that medicine still available that day? "

"What medicine?"

"It's the ointment you quietly gave him that day, give it some more."

"Have you used it?" The expression on Mo Tan's face suddenly became very indescribable.

Dongyue looked at her purely, "I've used it, it's super easy to use, I've used it up."

"It's all used up?" Mo Tan looked at him inexplicably, a box of that thing can be used about ten times according to its original purpose, and it's only been two days, how can it be used up?

Dongyue nodded vigorously again to express her certainty.

Mo Tan looked at Zhu Yao with a layer of admiration in his eyes, and he promised: "Okay, I happen to have a few more cans at my place, and I'll send them to you in a while."

"Thank you!"

After Mo Tan left, Dongyue played with an ornament on the table and said, "When did you suspect the second wife? You didn't tell me."

"I've always been very obvious." Zhu Yao sat on the sofa, leaned back on the cushion, and looked down at him.

"Where is it obvious? You only said that the symptoms of her illness are similar to those of Mitu monk poisoning. Don't you mean that the murderer intends to harm her? Why do you say she is suspected now?"

"I just said that poisoning her is the easiest way to go unnoticed. As for who is poisoning, it may be someone else, of course it may be herself."

"Why did you poison yourself? Are you crazy? That would kill you!" Dongyue stopped what she was doing, and waited intently for the other party's answer.

"It's very simple. You can control the dose of the poison yourself, and as long as it doesn't exceed a certain period of time, it won't be fatal."

"What is she trying to do?"

"Of course the suspicion is cleared."

"But no one doubts her at all?"

"How do you know that no one suspects it? She must have been there when she went to the cellar that day, or something was found on the fourth wife's body. Who would go to visit the body after someone else's violent death?"

"Don't be so sure, maybe she really hurt other people, and went to mourn her."

"Don't worry, I'm not that arbitrary."

Dongyue was afraid of making him angry, so she said cautiously: "I'm not denying you, I just find it a bit incomprehensible."

Zhu Yao hooked his hands, beckoning him to come closer.

Dongyue approached him obediently, Zhu Yao sat where he was, stretched out his arms, wrapped his thighs in his arms, and said, "I'm not angry. Although Mi Tuo is bought back by someone, it should be I heard that Mo Tan and the others have found this matter, so the medicine may not work, this clue may not work, I am just guessing."

"You mean, the second wife is not sick at all. She killed the fourth wife, and then remembered that she left some clues on the body that we can't see, but she was worried about exposing herself and decided to take medicine to make herself seriously ill and clear the suspicion? But The matter of Mi Tuo monk has also been exposed, so I can only go to the cellar to destroy the evidence in person?"

Zhu Yao hugged him tightly and said, "You're not too stupid."

Dongyue smiled and said, "Who says I'm stupid?"

"Then do you know what you asked Mo Tan for?"

"That? Didn't you use it once, for repairing after sun exposure."

Zhu Yao winked at him.

"Isn't it? What's that for?"

"you guess."

"Scald medicine?"

"wrong."

"I can't guess it, you tell me." Dongyue twisted coquettishly in his arms.

"Okay, I'll give you a hint." Saying that, Zhu Yao loosened the arm around him a little, groped for a place behind Dongyue, and pressed it lightly.

Dongyue bounced away immediately, with a look of surprise on her face.

"How did she give you this? You have hemorrhoids? Why can't I see it? How does she know?"

With a hopeless expression on his face, Zhu Yao clenched his fist, pressed his forehead again, patted him on the side of the waist, sighed, and leaned back again.

Dongyue was still complaining over there why he didn't say it earlier, causing herself to be ashamed in front of Mo Tan, while lamenting that hemorrhoid medicine has such a magical effect, why she had never heard of it before.

"Then you don't want it anymore?"

"Yes, I still need to use it." He said he was ashamed of it, and he had to use it as usual.

Zhu Yao was helpless, hugged him again, and whispered viciously in his ear: "I'll let you use it up in the future!"
