After passing through the three halls, it was to the backyard where the Qu family lived, Cheng Muyou dodged all the way, and finally came here, fortunately, there is no one in this backyard now, and the huge courtyard looks more and more deserted under the sunlight.
He went from room to room, and stopped in front of a room with brocade on the walls and a pink curtain hanging above the couch.
Cheng Muyou looked behind him, pushed open the door and flashed into the house lightly, and closed the door without making a sound, then he stood up straight and carefully observed the room in front of him that was overflowing with the smell of rouge.
There is no smell of books here, some are just some market things, such as a few thin and transparent gauze skirts scattered on the bed, such as the tall fat powder boxes stacked on the dresser, and the incense in the incense burner behind him that is about to choke people, this smell is exactly the same as the fragrance on Qu Zhengkun's body, so Cheng Muyou knows that he has come to the right place.
He frowned and glanced at the incense burner, and began to look around the house, in the curtains, under the brocade quilt, in the cracks in the walls, carefully and carefully, and did not dare to let go of any corner, but after a quarter of an hour of inspection, he found nothing.
He couldn't help but feel a little anxious in his heart, afraid that if he continued like this, he might return in vain.
In a hurry, his movements became flustered, and his elbow swept to the dresser, knocking over the fat powder boxes that were piled high on it, and the silver and copper boxes scattered all over the table, making a "crackling" crunch.
Cheng Muyou was startled by this sound, and hurriedly got up to clean up, but at this moment, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, it was from far and near, not moving forward or backward, and was stopping in front of this room.
The movements on Cheng Muyou's hands stopped instantly, he slowly lowered his body, moved to the back of the dresser little by little, stared at the shadow outside the crack in the door that covered the sun, and held his breath to listen carefully to the movement outside.
As soon as the door creaked, a crack opened slightly, and Cheng Muyou leaned against the wall again, trying to hide his body deeper, but he also knew that this small dresser could not hide at all, and if the people outside the door came in, he could only be speechless and restrained.
Fortunately, at this moment, a call suddenly came from the courtyard: "Second lady, the few satins you bought have arrived, and the people from the cloth village are waiting in the front hall, please go out and have a look." ” "Arrived so soon?
I thought I'd have to wait a few more days.
The voice of the person at the door was full of surprise, and she walked towards the courtyard gate, not forgetting to close the door again before leaving.
Hearing that the person was far away, Cheng Muyou sighed heavily, and just wanted to stand up against the wall, but he felt an itch next to his sideburns, as if something hung down from the dresser and gently rubbed his face.
Cheng Muyou turned his face sideways, and when he saw clearly the thing that was only a finger away from himself, he almost exclaimed: it turned out that the thing hanging down from the table was actually a red thread more than half a foot long, and it should have crawled out of the fat powder box, because its writhing body was still stained with some white incense powder.
He stood up "Teng", his eyes swept to the table of the dresser, and with just one glance, he felt that all the pores on his body were tightened, and the blood was like frozen into ice, soaking the internal organs cold: the dresser was crawling with red threads, twisting and flipping one by one, like earthworms after the rain, celebrating his hard-won freedom.
Seeing such a strange scene in front of him, Cheng Muyou's feet seemed to be glued to the floor, unable to move, and thousands of thoughts were squeezed into his mind for a while, but they were all mixed together, making him unable to distinguish the truth from them at all.
Fortunately, at this moment, the door was gently pushed open, and Xu Ziming's figure appeared at the door, and he anxiously rushed inside and said, "My lord, the time has come, if you don't leave, it will be terrible to be discovered." ” Cheng Muyou woke up like a dream, turned around and retreated towards the door, came to the door, and looked at the dresser again, he saw that some of those red threads had writhed and rolled from the countertop to the ground, tangled together, like clusters of small flames.
After hearing Cheng Muyou finish what he had seen and heard, Jiang Xixi was so shocked that she almost threw the cup to the ground, and after a long time, she suddenly said, "What do you mean, that Qu Zhengkunna's new aunt is the murderer we have been looking for?"
” Before Cheng Muyou could answer, his right ear jumped down from the stool, "My lord, then what are we waiting for?"
This Liaoyang County Ya is now a nest of snakes and rats, and you still expect them to solve the case?
Let's simply kill it, and it can be regarded as eliminating harm for the people. ” Cheng Muyou glanced at his right ear, "What if Qu Zhengkun doesn't know the true face of the person who sleeps with him?"
What if I only discovered her secret occasionally?
” Scratching his head in his right ear, "That's better, let's tell Qu Zhengkun her secret, in front of so many people, does he still want to protect his mother-in-law?"
What's more, he is also afraid that one day he will be gagged by the mud man and die on the bed. ” What it said was not unreasonable, but Cheng Muyou was still suspicious and didn't nod for a long time.
Xu Ziming saw it in his eyes, slowly stepped forward, and asked in a low voice, "Do you still have any doubts about today's events?"
” Cheng Muyou glanced at him approvingly, "Seeing is not necessarily believing, although the red line appears in her room, but this thing may not belong to her, and we lack more conclusive evidence." ” "What are you going to do?"
"Since she is the most suspicious, then we have been keeping an eye on her for the past few days, whether she is a human or a ghost, I believe there will always be a difference."
He turned his head to look at Jiang Xixi, "You go to Hu Guicheng's house in a while, that day Sister-in-law Huang said that he went to another county, and he will come back in a few days, when you get there, explain your intention to him, and tell him about the affairs of the Huang family and the Hong family, don't leave him half a step in these days, he is the last person left among the five, no matter what, you must save his life, and you must not go on any other errand." ” Jiang Xixi took a deep breath, clenched her fists with a solemn face and said yes, just straightened up, and suddenly stretched out a hand in front of her, on which was placed a rune paper, on which were drawn with cinnabar a few symbols that she could not understand.
"Take it, if that clay figure appears again, you will burn it, and you will be able to protect you in times of crisis."
The right ear is smiling on the side, and the eyebrows are pure, like a child without a little heart.
