Chapter 25: Homicide

The two were stunned for a moment, then looked at each other for a moment, their eyes flashing with the same surprise and uneasiness.

Pei Yao hurriedly withdrew the silk needle, Mu Chuyu breathed a sigh of relief and got up in a panic, their tacit understanding at the moment was a bit like an old couple who were "fighting at the head of the bed and at the end of the bed", and they couldn't help but go together in the direction of the origin of the sound - Qi Fengsu's room.

"How do you know so much? Are you a member of the Soul Guard? Pei Yao suddenly remembered her business halfway through, this one really has the demeanor of returning to the light.

Mu Chuyu said: "No! My identity is a bit special, that's why I don't know much about the rivers and lakes and the imperial court! ”

Pei Yao's afterglow swept upwards over Mu Chuyu, and his eyes seemed to be fixed in one direction, as if he had answered Fang Cai's question without thinking.

As soon as they entered Qi Fengsu's room, four or five house slaves knelt on the ground and cried "wow", but the thunder was heavy and the rain was small...... The performance was so clumsy that it saved even the time of applying saliva to the face. The rest of the house slaves should have rushed to inform Song Yidu and Song Keci.

The smell of blood wafted from the bed, and the curtain of the bed was covered with feather-like blood spots, and the place where it met the edge of the bed was soaked with dark red blood, dripping on the floor, gradually weathering and solidifying...... It's shocking. Mu Chuyu approached the bed and opened the bed curtain with his bare hands - a sword to seal his throat!

Qi Feng was lying on the bed bloodless, the scar on his throat was so fine and uniform that it was almost invisible, if you didn't look closely, I was afraid it would not be easy to find! His neck, which no longer undulated, was bright red, and he could roughly imagine that this Qi Gongzi should have gone to heaven in his sleep!

Before seeing Qi Fengsu's corpse, Pei Yao still had a trace of luck, but now she could clearly feel that her legs were a little weak: this task was doomed to fail, and the reward for this trip was doomed to be lost......

She stood beside Mu Chuyu, one hand tightly hooked his arm that was still stroking the bed curtain, afraid that she would kneel down because she was "poor". She turned her head to ponder Mu Chuyu's attitude, and found that Mu Chuyu's eyes were extremely sharp looking at the wound, as if she could see through who the murderer was...... Or are you regretting that you shouldn't have told Pei Yao Jiang Soul Guard so quickly? If he persists for a while and a half, maybe Pei Yao will be empty again!

Not long after, Song Yidu and Song Keci hurried over with a group of their own disciples, these disciples stopped at the entrance, and Song Yidu and Song Keci stepped forward to check the corpse on the bed with serious expressions.

"A sword seals the throat!" Song Yiwan exclaimed. Mu Chuyu nodded kindly on the side.

Song Keci turned his head slightly, and after seeing Qi Fengsu lying there peacefully, he hurriedly withdrew his eyes, his expression a little complicated. She raised her head and subconsciously looked in the direction of Mu Chuyu, but Mu Chuyu had already cast her doubtful gaze on her, she nervously immediately staggered her eyes, and leaned closer to the direction of Song Yidu.

Seeing this unusual scene, Pei Yao said in her heart: What are these two people doing? Secretly send autumn waves as if nothing happened? Qi Fengsu's bones are not yet cold!

"Who of you found the body first?" Song Yidui asked the Qi family slave who was kneeling on the ground.

"Hui - back to the young owner, it was the little one who found the body first, and the little one got up this morning to bring refreshments to my young master, but no one answered after knocking on the door for a long time...... And the door is still hidden, it stands to reason that the young master should get up, so I got bold to go in, who knew that as soon as I entered the door and saw the scene of the bed, I was immediately scared to death, and the refreshments were also thrown to the ground by the small one, and the small one hurriedly ran up to see my young master, and the result was ...... As a result, my young master has passed away, woo woo woo-" The crying house slave covered his face with his hands, and his voice whimpered.

Song Yidui thought that when he came in, he did see the tray and refreshments that had been knocked over on the ground next to the round table, so he no longer doubted the words of this house slave, and asked again: "Did any of you find any suspicious characters last night?" ”

Song Yidu's clenched fists made a "clucking" sound, and his eyes contained scarlet bloodshots, which was bound to find out the murderer who had committed crimes in Bishui Villa.

After the house slaves kneeling at the bottom looked at each other, one of them cautiously raised his eyes to look at Pei Yao, but lowered his head again, and his whole body seemed to collapse into a stone.

The actions of this house slave undoubtedly focused the eyes of Song Yiwan and others on Pei Yao, and Pei Yao responded to them with innocent eyes: I'm not a murderer, don't look at me!

Mu Chuyu analyzed: It can't be Pei Yao...... Her swordsmanship...... Too...... Rotten! Then he silently withdrew his eyes and looked at the house slave in a daze.

Song Yidu's suspicious afterglow glanced at Pei Yao, stared at the abnormal house slave, and asked, "Tell me what you found!" ”

His sonorous voice gave the house slave great encouragement, as if a strong palm supported his back, allowing him to straighten his spine: "Back to the young master, after last night, the little one couldn't get up to pee, and a crimson skirt flashed around the corner of the porch of the young master's room......"

Hearing this, the corners of Song Yidu's eyes suddenly jumped.

Crimson? He said it in a rather subtle way...... The only one in the entire Bishui Villa who wears a scarlet skirt is Pei Yao......

Before Song Yidui turned around and asked her for an explanation, Pei Yao couldn't wait to jump out and explain: "Don't talk nonsense! I have no grievances with your young master, why do I have to get up in the middle of the night and sleepwalk to kill him? ”

Silence is golden! It's too much to say wrong! What a stupidity! Mu Chuyu grabbed her wrist and tried to stop her when he saw her face twitching slightly, but ...... Silly Peiyao didn't feel that one of her hands was still being dragged by others.

The house slave was frightened by Pei Yao's eloquent "roar", and his throat moved a few times, but not a word jumped out of his mouth. However, the house slave in dark clothes kneeling behind him was much calmer, and at first glance he was a person with martial arts!

Pei Yao said those words aggressively to clear her suspicion, but before the tone was smooth, the house slave dressed in a dark short beat raised his head and clenched his fists and said: "Back to the young master, Miss Pei Yao and my young master are not without grievances!" A few days ago, my young master was not very happy with Miss Pei Yao...... "The further back his voice was, the more confident he became, and he even lowered his eyelids and didn't dare to look at Song Yidu. This is not to blame him, mainly because his master's lustful appearance is too obscene.

Pei Yao felt as uncomfortable as a mouthful of phlegm stuck in her throat, and she felt the helplessness of the wall falling down and everyone pushing it.

Sure enough, the young owner of Song Yidu, who only had ears and no brains, fell on her suspiciously, and under his leadership, Song Keci also looked at her, but her eyes were innocent and ignorant.

Pei Yao inadvertently turned to Mu Chuyu, only then did she realize that her wrist was being pulled by him...... The eyes of the two of them were instantly indescribable......

Song Keci is naturally calm on the surface, but turbulent in the heart.

"Miss Pei Yao, do you have any explanation for this?" Song Yidu's opening echoed in Pei Yao's empty heart like a final word, clearly giving Pei Yao a chance to turn over, and the actual meaning was "The evidence is conclusive!" Do you admit it? ”

"Young farmer, do you have any explanation for this?" Pei Yao took a bite back, glared at Song Yiwan with an open attitude, and her heart beat wildly.

Everyone was taken aback by her sudden "throwing the pot".

Song Yiwan was even more stunned for a moment before he calmed down and asked with a calm face, "What did Miss Pei Yao say this?" ”

"Qi Fengsu is also the son of the richest man in the capital, and now he has died in your Bishui Villa, of course you can't escape the blame, you must give the Qi family an explanation!" Pei Yao bluffed her back.

Song Yidui was surrounded by the clouds, and sneered: "Gongzi Qi suffered this misfortune in our Bishui Villa!" I will give an explanation to the Qi family in the next step! It's just that now all the evidence points to you, Miss Pei Yao, not only did you not explain, but you also stood in the position of the Qi family and bit back in the next bite? What is the purpose? ”

Taking advantage of the gap between Song Yidu's words, Pei Yao's brain is spinning rapidly, every time there is a moment of crisis, this little head melon seed will emit the potential of "great wisdom and foolishness", usually "foolish", and the moment when life is at stake is "great wisdom"!

"What can I do? The young owner also thinks too highly of me! Pei Yao's eyes lit up, and she stepped forward to confront Song Yidui, and continued with a confrontational gaze, "That house slave said that he saw a woman in a scarlet shirt pass by Qi Gongzi's room last night, and another house slave said that Qi Gongzi and I have a conflict...... Just based on these two pieces of evidence, you want to say that I am the murderer? That's ridiculous, isn't it? ”

Pei Yao: "First, that's right! In the entire Blue Water Villa, I really only saw me wearing a scarlet shirt, including now...... However, I'm afraid that the house slave is not very sure that the murderer is wearing a crimson shirt, after all, he has not looked carefully, and it is normal to look away in the dark! Second, there is indeed a small contradiction between me and Qi Gongzi, but this is not the main contradiction. My task is to deliver Miss Song and Qi Gongzi to the capital safely, if something happens to Qi Gongzi, I will not be able to complete the task, and I will naturally be punished when I return to the Begonia Pavilion, not only will I not get the reward for this mission, but I will also have to pay money from my pocket to make up for Master Qi's loss...... Do you think I'm stupid enough to shoot myself in the foot? ”

It seems that this is indeed the case.

Song Yiwan lowered her eyes and thought for a while, raised her eyes and smiled lightly, with a hint of apology in her eyes: "What Miss Pei Yao said is very true!" That-I don't know, Miss Pei Yao thinks who the murderer will be? ”

"I don't know!" Pei Yao blurted out, got rid of the burden of "righteous words" just now, and said easily, "But this murderer must be in this villa...... Love Killing...... Maybe! ”

When Pei Yao finished saying the last fluttering sentence, she also secretly glanced at Mu Chuyu.

I didn't doubt you! But you doubt me? Mu Chuyu's eyes widened and he looked innocent.
