Chapter 42: Reconciliation

I couldn't sleep well all night, Lu Li got up early in the morning and went to Zhao Zhu's room, Zhao Shu was still not there, and the note on the table was the same as last night, neatly folded and not opened and read.

Lu Li pursed his lips in disappointment, exited the room and closed the door.

It was just dawn, and Shen Wansha next door hadn't gotten up yet, so Lu Li decided to go to the dining room alone to eat, and brought breakfast back for Shen Wansha by the way. Recently, he has been too busy, and it has always been Shen Wansha and Zhao Shu who have been taking care of him, and occasionally when he can do his best, he also wants to reciprocate, but he hasn't studied the way, and the breakfast probably won't be too gorgeous......

Unexpectedly, on the way to eat in the dining room, I met Meng Qian.

Meng Qian pulled Lu Li to a slightly remote corner, looked around and saw that there was no one, then cleared his throat slightly, and thanked Lu Li in a low voice, "Meng Qian thanked Lu Gongzi here." ”

This thank you came suddenly, and Lu Li looked surprised, "Thank me?" ”

Meng Qian held back, his face was a little red, "It is said that family ugliness should not be publicized...... I probably know everything about my family. ”

"If you're talking about your stepmom......"

"Ahem, exactly," Meng Qian's expression was a little wolf, "My father's stepfamily is not a good person, but my father's ears are soft, and he is dizzy when he is coaxed." The maid pomegranate was specially found by me from the step-room's hometown, and I know some inside information...... It is inconvenient to talk about the inside affairs, in short, I will not allow the stepfamily to continue to be powerful and blessed in my Meng family, my father's ears are soft, I have to find enough evidence to bring her down, and the pomegranate is very important to me. If it weren't for your bone examination to prove that this case has nothing to do with my master and servant, we are afraid that we will not be able to withstand the pressure of Wang Cheng and the news will leak, so it will be even worse for the step-room to seize this handle and see the opportunity......"

"Childe accepts my salute." Meng Qian waved his hands to worship as he spoke, but Lu Li hurriedly stopped, "I didn't inquire about spreading the interest of others, so Meng Gongzi doesn't have to be like this." It's just that people's hearts are separated from their stomachs, and the son must keep his eyes open when employing people, and don't be tired of trivial matters. ”

Meng Qian smiled, "Pomegranate's temperament is a little impatient, but I know everything about his mental nature, but thank you for reminding me, I will pay attention." ”

The two exchanged pleasantries, and Meng Qian said with some hesitation, "Actually, I still know a little about this case......

Lu Li's face was solemn, "Young Master Meng, please speak up." ”

"Because pomegranates are very important to me, even when Yu Shi and I go to do things for my mother, I can't be too relieved, she has been teased by the five disciples next door." Meng Qian's eyes lowered slightly, and he spoke cautiously, "I was a little restless that night, so Yu Shi went back for me to confirm that the pomegranate was safe, the pomegranate was fine, but it was very lively next door, as if he was drinking." Yu Shi knew that I hated them too, so he wanted to go over and see if there were any loopholes to exploit and teach them a lesson. ”

After Yu Shi went, he found that there were people at the root of the west wall, as if he was observing the movements of the five people, and he seemed to be waiting for something...... Yu Shi didn't want to cause trouble, and quietly turned back. Meng Qian approached and whispered to Lu Li, "That martial monk doesn't seem to be a murderer, when Yu Shi came out, he saw him enter Madam Huang's courtyard......"

After hearing this, Lu Li suddenly realized, "So it's not good for you to talk to Lord Huang......"

Meng Qian's smile was a little embarrassed, "If you go and tell Lord Huang, I have no opinion, anyway, it's the truth, of course it's better not to say it." Let me tell you, first, I believe you, and second, I think you are very powerful, and I can definitely find out the murderer. ”

"Thank you for the compliment......" After Lu Li hinted that he would not mess with the small report, he asked Yu Shi, "Why didn't he follow you?" ”

"I asked him to carry food, and I'm here to block you." Meng Qian was a little embarrassed, "I didn't see you yesterday, and Shen Gongzi said that you might pass by this in the morning, so ......"

Lu Li waved his hand to show that he didn't care, "Did Yu Shi say who he saw in the five-person courtyard that night?" ”

"He said it was too dark to see, but the man was not tall and a little thin."

Lu Li thought for a moment, "I know, if Meng Gongzi has something to do, please go and get busy." ”

Meng Qian said goodbye to him, "If there is an opportunity in the future, Meng Qian will thank Gongzi for this kindness." ”

Lu Liwaner, "It's really nothing, Meng Gongzi is serious." ”

The two saluted each other and left in two, Lu Li thought about the news he had just heard, and when he passed around the corner, he didn't pay attention and almost bumped into the person opposite.

"Hiroshi...... Correct? "The young monk who found the body one after the other with Shen Wansha seems to be called this name?

"Amitabha...... It was the little monk. I'm sorry, I walked too fast and didn't see the donor...... "Hongran clasped his palms together and saluted Lu Li, holding a broom in his arm, his head was sweaty, his face was slightly red with shortness of breath, and his expression was very embarrassed and ashamed.

Lu Li remembered the past and couldn't help laughing, "Little master is getting up late again?" ”

Hongran scratched the back of his head, "Really...... It was cold in winter, and I couldn't help it, but my uncle said that he had trained me several times...... "His face was full of remorse."

"I remember you were on duty cleaning the front hall?" Lu Li got out of the way, "It's too late to go if you don't go......"

Hongran hurriedly thanked Lu Li and trotted away.

Lu Li shook his head and smiled, turned around and continued to walk towards the dining hall.

While eating in the dining hall, Lu Li met Daniel Zhang, thinking that he didn't have to trouble himself, told Daniel Zhang the latest clues about the case, asked him to relay the Huang County order, and then returned to the courtyard with the lunch box.

He still went to Zhao Zhu's room to take a look, but he hadn't come back yet. He sighed, went to Shen Wansha's room to wake people up for breakfast, told him about yesterday's experience, and gave him the pure golden camellia given by the stars.

Shen Wansha's aesthetics are really very different from him, the moment he saw the golden camellia clearly, there were sparks in Shen Wansha's eyes instantly, and he couldn't hide his appreciation and praise, "It's so beautiful!" ”

Lu Lituo looked at him with his chin, his eyes were full of understanding, "Like it?" ”

"I like it!" Shen Wansha nodded again and again, "I like it very much!" ”

"Just like it......"

Lu Li sighed again, and as Shen Wansha washed up and had breakfast, he told the cemetery what happened to him one by one.

Shen Wansha was stunned when he heard this, and he regretted smashing his palm, "It's so exciting!" Why don't you take me! ”

"You walked too fast to stop you." Lu Li drank a saliva to moisten his lips.

"Speaking of how do you run the stars...... I don't even know! Shen Wansha frowned, "But this person is so bad that he wants to kill you and Brother Zhao!" Even if he sent such a beautiful camellia, we can't forgive him! ”

Lu Li: ......

Thinking of Zhao Zhu, Shen Wansha's brows furrowed even deeper, "I haven't seen Brother Zhao since yesterday...... You live and die together once, it should be better, why do you seem to be angry when you come back, and Brother Zhao has not appeared...... Did you quarrel? He asked the last sentence a little cautiously.

"Really...... I can't hide anything. Lu Li recounted the last paragraph of yesterday with some melancholy, frowned and asked, "Did you say he was angry?" What's wrong with the big man having a birthmark, it's worth being so angry, and you still leave me in the wilderness? ”

He rubbed his hair with some annoyance, "I know I'm also at fault, I wanted to admit my mistake last night, but he didn't know where to run to get angry, and he didn't see anyone." ”

The light was too dark at night, and Lu Li was not sure what the birthmark looked like, so he only said that it was a dark birthmark the size of a thumb with his throat down. Shen Wansha hadn't paid attention to the birthmark in Zhao Zhu's throat, and he couldn't feel anything wrong just by listening to the description, and after analyzing the table, he could only conclude that Brother Zhao cared about this birthmark very much.

But he doesn't think there's anything incomprehensible about it, "It's like I love to wear shiny clothes, others think it's not too ostentatious, but I like it very much, and you let me wear those plain clothes, I feel very wronged." Everyone has their own paranoid likes and dislikes, maybe Brother Zhao just doesn't like others to mention his birthmark, you see that he is so arrogant on weekdays, he must not be able to stand the strange eyes. ”

He gave Lu Li an idea, "But it's not a big deal, no matter how angry you are, it should be able to disappear at this time." It's better to do this, when he appears, you first say something else to distract him, and then coax him openly and secretly, and finally admit his mistake and apologize. Dessert in your mouth, lower your posture, and a bright smile, you should be fine......"

Shen Wansha provided Lu Li with all kinds of coaxing ideas, and the two talked for a long time, seeing that the time was not early, before going to work in the morgue.

Lu Li continued to examine the bones, and Shen Wansha helped him write the bone examination strips.

After being busy past noon, Shen Wansha went out for a spin under the pretext of back pain, and Lu Li continued to bury his head in the bone examination.

After the pair of corpses in his hand were placed for examination, Lu Li straightened up and pounded his waist to breathe a sigh of relief, when he saw Zhao Zhu standing against the door frame.

I don't know where this man came from, and how long he has been standing there.

Lu Li was very surprised and ran over, "Where have you been?" I've been looking for you for a long time! ”

Zhao Shu walked outside all night, and the qi in his heart had dissipated a lot, and when he came back and saw the note on the table, his anger was completely gone.

This birthmark is not a few days long, it has been with him since he was born, what he has experienced for this is only known to him, and he has long been accustomed to the various characters who tremble in front of him, and he should not care at all, he lost his temper last night.

He didn't answer, Lu Li thought about Shen Wansha's words, and didn't ask, "Are you hungry?" ”

Zhao Shu shook his head.

"That's good......" Lu Li smiled brightly, showing his little tiger teeth, trying to make his expression natural and lively, looking for a topic, "What, I suddenly remembered, when we went to the ancient tomb together yesterday, it seemed that there was a mountain with a very familiar shape, that is, the one with a circle of snow on the top of the mountain, do you remember?" ”

Zhao Zhumo's eyes were deep and he nodded slightly.

"I always feel like I've seen it somewhere, but it's obviously the first time I've come to Shanyang County, haha, haha......" Lu Li spoke thoughtlessly, and he didn't know what he said after speaking, and his face was full of regret.

His cautious appearance of being a little low pleases Zhao Zhu, and the flattery is too obvious!

The corners of Zhao Zhu's lips hooked, "That's the mountain of Guan County, you live in Guan County, you should have seen it." ”

As soon as he reminded him, Lu Li's eyes widened, "It's true!" "Think about the appearance of that mountain, isn't it the one not far from Liu's house, "Is it the one I met you!" ”

The surprise on his face showed no trace of pretending, and Zhao Shu ruled out the possibility that he deliberately brought up the topic to cause him to miss and thank, "Hmm." ”

"I didn't expect the two counties to be so close...... Lu Li thought of the road map, "then we came here at that time, but we actually walked around the bottom of the mountains......"

He was immersed in the topic for a while, didn't hear a response, looked up and saw Zhao Zhu's face was stern, and his heart said that it was a bad dish.

He forgot to coax people!

But he really can't coax people, and Zhao Zhu's appearance doesn't look like he's eating and coaxing......

After being embarrassed for a long time, Lu Li clenched his fists and decided that it was better to be frank and honest, "That...... Birthmark or something, anyone can grow it, it's a pity to grow on the girl's face, but the birthmark is just an abnormal form of the skin, and it has nothing to do with me. A birthmark on a girl's face may affect her beauty, but it can't affect her heart quality, you are a man, what are you afraid of beauty and ugliness? ”

"You won't be bad because of it, you won't be bad looking, and you won't become loved because of it, you are you, whether you have a birthmark or not is you, this thing doesn't matter at all, you don't need to care at all!" He gradually straightened up, and looked straight into Zhao Shu's eyes, "I just saw it for the first time yesterday and touched it with some curiosity, if you want to feel offended and unhappy, I apologize to you, I was wrong, I'm sorry, it's nothing if you hit me twice and scold me twice, but it's not right to be so angry with such a thing that you run away from home for a long time and don't see anyone, it's so messy around here, how good is it if something happens!" ”

The sun hit the boy's face, and the boy's jade-like skin seemed to be shining through, and the seriousness in his clear eyes was almost overflowing.

Zhao Zhu's eyes drooped slightly, and his voice was slightly deep, "What do you think of this...... Something, isn't it a thing? ”

"Of course!" Lu Li's answer was loud, but it was just a birthmark, what a big deal!

"Its storage zΓ i won't affect me for half a point?"

"A must!" What you want to be affected is that you are stingy, have no stomach, and don't look like a man!

"You don't ...... Afraid? ”

Lu Li had an unbelievably strange expression on his face, "Why be afraid? "It's just a small birthmark, haven't the ancients seen it to such a point?

Zhao Zhu looked at Lu Li quietly and did not speak.

This teenager ......

What kind of Cheng dΓΉ do you have to like yourself, love Wu and Wu so much that everyone mentions the color change of the Hades seal, can you ignore it?

There is only his own shadow in these black and white eyes, clear, clear, no reluctance, no concealment, full of worry. No matter how difficult the psychological construction is, he is really not afraid.

Such a pure, warm, and completely heartfelt feeling...... Zhao Shu felt that it was very rare.

Although the teenager is occasionally a little bold and clingy and not very decent, he really can't help himself when he likes a person too deeply......

He decided to be a little more lenient with Lu Li.

He is really a generous prince.

Zhao Shu glanced at Lu Li meaningfully, and walked past him into the room.

Lu Li felt that the atmosphere instantly became light, and the ominous aura on Zhao Zhu's body that wanted to kill people disappeared. Although he didn't know why, he was still very happy, and leaned over to carefully confirm, "You're not angry, are you?" ”

Zhao Shu snorted lightly, "How could I be angry about this little thing?" ”

Fool it! It's obvious that you've been angry, and if you're angry, you're not serious!

Lu Li rolled his eyes inwardly, continued to coax Zhao Shu with a bright smile on his face, and eagerly held Zhao Shu's hand, "It's good that you're not angry!" ”

Zhao Shu coldly pushed his hand away, "Be reserved." ”

Lu Li looked at his hand frozen in mid-air and was stunned. He's a man, what do you want to be reserved!

But it's good that Zhao Shu isn't angry. Lu Li found that chatting with Zhao Shu about the case was very helpful for thinking, and there were often unexpected gains, since he was reconciled, let's get down to business, pull Zhao Shu to sit down, "Let me tell you, I met Meng Qian on the way to the fasting room this morning, and he told me ......"

After speaking, he held his chin and thought, "The clues are not all unknown, and the confession and questioning of the Huang County Order there have not yielded results, the temple is full of intellectuals, who is the murderer......

"Huang County's confession collection has yielded results." The old god Zhao Shu said a sentence while holding the teacup on the ground, "The one who meets everything is an old monk named Jie Anger." ”。
