"Miss, before leaving, the master instructed you to eat some ...... anyway."

At the door of a bedroom on the second floor of the Tang family's house, two maidservants each held a plate containing food, and gently persuaded Tang Luozhi, who had locked himself up all night in the house.

At the top of the stairs not far away, the butler of the Tang family walked quickly with a folded note in his hand.

"You get out of the way. ”

Waving his hand to retreat the maidservants on both sides, the butler pressed the note in his hand along the crease, raised his hand and knocked on the door,

"Miss, a young man who claimed to be your classmate asked me to hand you this note, saying that I must show it to you...... I'll slip in through the crack in the door. ”

He knelt on the ground with his waist propped up, stuffed the note through the crack in the bottom, and didn't leave after getting up, but listened intently to the movement behind the door.

Not long after it was stuffed in, a shuffling footsteps rang out in the room.

Click!

The old butler hurriedly got up, wanting to take this opportunity to comfort him, but before he could say anything, the door was opened from the inside.

......

On the back street of the Tang family's mansion, Lu Jiu leaned on the car door, his hands on his chest, and looked up at the smoke drifting over the city.

"Do you think she's going to come out?"

Pacing back and forth, Zhou Ze, who didn't know how many times he had gone around, still couldn't help asking.

"Didn't you say that Tang Luozhi is different from other girls, if Tang Luozhi is really as rational as you say, then she will definitely see us when she sees the content on the note...... Of course, if she thinks our conjectures are nonsense, then there is nothing to say. ”

Zhou Ze said a lot about the deeds of this female talent along the way, and Lu Jiu naturally expected the other party to provide more information about She Xiang Town.

However, the two waited for about ten minutes, and never saw anyone come out of the back door of the Tang family's mansion.

"Calculating the time, it has been almost twenty minutes since we handed the note to the housekeeper, and the note must have been delivered a long time ago, it seems that people don't want to see us. ”

Sighing with some disappointment, Lu Jiu thought that there was no other way to learn the information about She Xiang Town, and was about to call Zhou Ze to leave.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned his head, he saw Zhou Ze staring at the two people coming over on the other side of the street.

One of them was the old butler he had just met, and walking in front of him was a "young man" in a plain light shirt with his hair tied only by a headband.

The handsome face without fat powder is very haggard, but it shows a bit of sickly beauty.

"Here, it's her."

Zhou Ze had seen Tang Luozhi before, so he naturally recognized it at a glance, Lu Jiu didn't answer, just cast his gaze over.

The distance between the two sides was shortened, and the housekeeper stopped first, waited at a suitable distance, hung his hands at his side, and nodded to Lu Jiu's side with a pleasant face.

"Zhou Ze?"

While Lu Jiu and the two looked at Tang Luozhi, the latter was also observing them, Lu Jiu she didn't know, but she had some impressions of Zhou Ze, and when she got to her, she didn't say anything, picked up the note written by Lu Jiu just now, and asked directly,

"I received the note you handed over, and you may know the cause of death of Uncle Chen's family, whether it is true or not!"

Even if he was depressed because he stayed up all night, when mentioning Chen Lide's family, the persistence in Tang Luozhi's eyes still made Zhou Ze open his mouth but he was at a loss for a while.

He took a step back sideways and let Lu Jiu behind him out.

"To tell you the truth, we came this time to verify whether our conjecture is accurate through Miss Tang. ”

Glancing at Zhou Ze angrily, Lu Jiu stood up and first gave a general idea of the recent gathering of bandits in Zhiyuan Mansion that they knew through Zhou Ze's father, and then put forward his own conjecture.

Lu Jiu did not deliberately mention the heart-slashing ghost, but tried to make Tang Luozhi understand that the absolute person who killed Chen Lide's family was most likely the bandits who were now gathering in Zhiyuan Mansion.

"Are you saying that the foreign bandits will attack Uncle Chen in order to find the treasure left in the Zhiyuan Mansion in the prison?"

At first glance, listening to Lu Jiu's analysis, Tang Luozhi only felt a little ridiculous, and couldn't help frowning and saying,

"How could Uncle Chen be involved with some treasure. ”

"Chen Gong may have nothing to do with the treasure, but if the treasure is related to Shexiang Town, I vaguely remember that Chen Gong once mentioned that his father had a close relationship with Shexiang Town, which is why I think of today's events, a bandit organization that is rampant in two provinces, suddenly ran to a remote township to kill, there must be something strange in this, even me and Zhou Ze can see it, and the bandits who are already doing this business can naturally detect it!"

Xindao finally asked this key, and Lu Jiu immediately threw out the most critical question,

"Miss Tang, haven't you heard your elders mention things about Shexiang Town all these years?"

"The remote township you just mentioned is Shexiang Town?"

"Miss Tang doesn't know what happened in Shexiang Town three years ago?"

Hearing Tang Luozhi's question, Lu Jiu glanced back at Zhou Ze in surprise and asked stubbornly.

"My family and Uncle Chen's family have moved to Qingding City nine years ago, and Zihui's grandfather has been staying in the ancestral house because he is the ancestral hall elder of Shexiang Town, but he also passed away a few years ago due to a plague that spread throughout the town. ”

This is Tang Luozhi's memories of Shexiang Town, and Lu Jiu quickly realized that the so-called "plague" should be an explanation to the outside world after the official blockade of Shexiang Town by Zhiyuan Mansion.

At the same time, Lu Jiu also understood why the Chen and Tang families were able to survive.

Because they were not in Shexiang Town at all three years ago, and the only one of these two families who could know the inside story of Shexiang Town was Chen Lide's father, that is, the old man Chen Mao in the portrait.

No wonder the murderer chose the Chen family among the two families!

In this situation, Tang Luozhi's parents obviously did not tell her the truth of the facts, or even they may not know anything about what happened in Shexiang Town three years ago, after all, they had already left Shexiang Town nine years ago.

"I wanted to do our part to catch the murderer of Chen Gong, so it seems that we are presumptuous...... What happened in Shexiang Town three years ago, Miss Tang may be able to find a chance to ask the elders, of course, the news we brought today, if you think it is necessary, you can also mention it to them, if you can help Chen Gong's family, it would be great. ”

Since he couldn't get clues about She Xiangzhen's past from Tang Luozhi, it was pointless to continue to stay here, Lu Jiu gave Zhou Ze a look and prepared to leave.

"Thank you for your kindness. ”

Tang Luozhi bowed down to thank her, although she didn't quite understand what Zhou Ze and Lu Jiu wanted to say, she still planned to find an opportunity to mention this matter to her parents after she went back.

However, when she turned around, she looked through the alleyway next to the house and saw the "lively" scene on the street on the other side.

His footsteps suddenly stopped, and the expression on his face couldn't help but dim a little.

At this time, my father and mother should still be dealing with the affairs of Uncle Chen's family, and I am afraid that I have no time to take care of anything else, so I can only wait in the room when I go back now......

Can't you do something for Zihui?

"Wait. ”

Lu Jiu had just opened the co-pilot's door, but Tang Luozhi's voice sounded again,

"Although I don't know the situation in Shexiang Town, there are county records of Shexiang Town's historical events in the library of Qingding Public School, and if you can, I would like to ask you to take me there. ”

Zhou Ze, who had just inserted the key into the lock hole, looked sideways at Lu Jiu, who took the initiative to open the door of the back seat after a short silence.

For Lu Jiu, coming to Tang Luozhi this time was an attempt, and the latter proposed another path that might be able to find clues, so Lu Jiu naturally didn't mind trying.

The vehicle started and drove towards Qingding Public School in a puff of smoke.

The roof of a private house not far away.

A fist-sized bird fluttered from the man's right shoulder and flew down a street not far away.

"It's finally out. ”

The man stood up, telescope upside down in his hand, and muttered to himself.

The midday sun falls on the protruding blade at the end of the mechanism at the wrist, reflecting the cold luster of the forest.
