Jiang Xixi nodded, "I went to the market this morning, and I heard a lot of people talking about it, saying that a girl died in Qifenglou last night, no, to be exact, the person was gone, but the house was full of blood, which scared the prostitute so much that he almost couldn't get out of bed."
The most interesting thing is that the people in Qifenglou have not come to report to the official until now, I think, there must be something strange in this, otherwise with Aunt Hua's temperament, it would have turned the world upside down long ago. ” Cheng Muyou touched his chin, "It's interesting, something is strange in the school captain's mansion, and Qi Fenglou is following in an accident, this Hua Gu and Qin Yingbao are really happy to share the hardships and hardships." ” "What's going on in the Captain's Mansion again?"
Cheng Muyou then recounted Liu Xujiao's discovery to her, and finally he said: "In a while, Lord Liu will go to Qin Yingbao's side courtyard again, you go with him, remember, you must observe in the dark to see what is hidden in that mansion." ” Jiang Xixi saluted and said, "My lord, what about Qifeng Tower?"
” "I'll go there myself, and it's easy to catch the fox's tail, and I can't let it escape easily."
When she saw Cheng Muyou appear in front of Qifeng Tower, Aunt Hua was not surprised, she gave a salute and welcomed them in.
But after sitting down, she downplayed any questions raised by Cheng Muyou, brushed them aside, and only walked around on the skin, without touching the essence of the problem at all.
"Since someone is dead, why don't you report it to the official?"
"My lord, Miss Qingchen is just gone, and no one has been found now, in case she is just looking for me to be happy and hiding, wouldn't it be in vain for you to make a move?"
"The blood is still there, such a large patch of blood, but you think it's a prank?"
"Isn't it?
The lord helped me find out where my girl had gone, and there was a guest who asked her to serve just now.
Hua Gu looked at him with a smile.
Cheng Muyou stared at her for a long time, and said word by word, "What about Xiao Jane, what's the matter with him?"
If there is only one thing, and you don't come to report to the official, I can still understand it, but now two people have disappeared, and no one is missing, Aunt Hua, I don't understand, what are you afraid of, or rather, what secrets are hidden in your heart, and I would rather take this risk yourself than go to the government to report the case. ” Aunt Hua's face turned pale, and she said to him in a hoarse voice, "Your imagination is too rich, since you blame me for not reporting to the official, I will report these two cases here now, and I hope that my lord will solve the case quickly and give me an explanation." ” The two looked at each other, and when their eyes met, Cheng Muyou saw a trace of cowardice and cowardice in Aunt Hua's eyes, this word should have nothing to do with such a woman who is strong and abnormal from the inside out, however, it was stationed in her body, clearly showing her weakness and timidity.
What is she afraid of?
Homicide case?
It can't be so simple, could it be that there is something else involved behind these two cases?
Is it human?
Or is it some secret?
As if she was afraid that someone would see through her thoughts, Hua Gu looked away, "My lord, if there is anything else you want to ask and want to check, please solve it as soon as possible, it will be night soon, don't delay the business of Qifeng Tower." ” Cheng Muyou knew that she had definitely disposed of all the evidence on the surface, and if she wanted to go deeper into the case, she could only do it secretly, so he stood up, "In the future, I will definitely explore it carefully, and I will definitely give Aunt Hua an explanation in the future." ” The deep meaning of the words could naturally be understood by Aunt Hua, but since Cheng Muyou had decided to intervene, she had no choice but to pretend to look at him calmly, "There is Lord Lao." ” Just about to send him out, a little guy ran in from outside in a panic, and secretly glanced at Cheng Muyou, and then he leaned into Aunt Hua's ear and said something.
Aunt Hua was stunned for a moment, and then forced her composure, "Lord Cheng, it's not too early, I'll send you out." ” Cheng Muyou didn't say much, and walked out of Qifeng Tower with Shi Jin and Shi Fei, and when they saw that they were far away, Hua Gu returned to the courtyard, looked at the little guy just now, and asked three words, "Where is it?"
” Next to the well in the backyard, there was a pool of crimson blood, which became more and more red and dazzling under the light of the setting sun.
The blood seemed to flow from the well, flowing down the cracks along the edge of the well, staining the surrounding flowers and plants red.
"Who is it?"
Hua Gu trembled when she heard her voice, for so many years, except when Shi Da died, she hadn't been so flustered for a long time.
A few small servants gathered around the well, and looked inside, "Auntie, I don't see anyone, but the well water is red, is it sinking?"
” "Fish, drain this well, and find out the people."
Buckets of water were pulled up from the bottom of the well and splashed aside, and six or seven buckets were thrown together, and it didn't take long for the already semi-arid well to bottom.
"Auntie, there's no one down here."
Hearing this, Aunt Hua's heart sank, she pursed her mouth, and the two fierce lines next to her nose became deeper and deeper: Why no one?
Just for a while, where can people go?
She looked up, "Call Mama Hua." ” A little guy went down in response, and after a while, he ran over in a panic, holding an embroidered shoe in his hand, "Auntie, Mama Hua is not in the room, I found one of her shoes outside the courtyard," he swallowed, "This blood, could it be Mama Hua's." ” Hua Gu was silent, she stared at the wellhead, her heart was full of thoughts, and she didn't know where to break through.
Seeing that she didn't speak, the little guy leaned forward again, and his words were already crying, "Auntie, is it because the paper horse was burned that night, so I summoned something unclean from the underworld?"
” "Paper horse, paper horse, say these words again to deceive people, be careful that I throw you into the river to feed the fish."
Hua Gu was angry, and picked up the water scoop and was about to hit the little guy on the head, at this moment, the courtyard door opened, and Cheng Muyou and the three stood by the door, "Paper horse?
Aunt Hua, you are really bold enough to dare to do what others dare not do. ” The mottled shadows of the trees swayed on the brick-red wall, obscuring the two heads exposed on the wall.
Jiang Xixi lay on the wall, holding back a smile on his belly, "Lord Liu, I want you to be a guard with a knife in front of the palace, so it's not good to eavesdrop on people's corners like this, and be known." ” Liu Xujiao lowered his voice, "What are you afraid of, it's not the first time, besides, if the girl doesn't say it, who will know," he bumped Jiang Xixi's arm, "Hey, you won't say it, right?"
” Jiang Xixi was just about to answer, when he saw that the gate of the courtyard suddenly opened, Qin Yingbao strode in from outside the door, and the fiery red cloak flashed underneath, and he stepped into the attic.
