Chapter 248: The Murderer

However, the wide coat in Mu Xiaofeng's hand had not completely covered Zhou Hongyu's body, and he saw Mu Shaoxuan staggering and running in from the alley with a white face, rushing to the side of Zhou Hongyu's body, kneeling on the ground, pulling the coat with his big hand.

Mu Xiaofeng was shocked, but suppressed his pathos and anger, and only called "Brother ......" in a low voice, and couldn't say any more.

She turned her head away in grief, and when Mu Shaoxuan saw the terrifying death of the girl lying on the cold ground, two lines of blood and tears poured out of her eyes in an instant.

"Hongyu ......" he whispered sadly, closed his eyes and threw himself towards Zhou Hongyu's corpse.

Mu Xiaofeng turned his head in horror when he heard the sound, and when he saw the bright red blood and tears in the corners of his eyes, he was shocked and immediately felt distressed. She endured her sorrow and glanced at Leng Yue, and motioned for Leng Yue to pull the person away.

No matter how sad the eldest brother is, he must not let people faint at this time.

Because the people of the Zhou family also rushed to the alley in a panic and sadness.

Mu Xiaofeng saw that the first to get off the carriage was Zhou Hongyu's mother, that is, Mrs. Zhou, followed by General Zhou, and then Zhou Hongyu's two elder brothers.

Mu Xiaofeng motioned for Leng Yue to pull her brother away, and then silently stepped aside to make way for him. When Mrs. Zhou saw Zhou Hongyu's tragic situation, she screamed in grief, and immediately fainted with black eyes.

Zhou Hongyu's two elder brothers, before they had time to see the tragic death of their sister, hurriedly pinched Mrs. Zhou's forehead first.

Mu Xiaofeng looked at his brother who was completely like a puppet with empty eyes like a dead spirit, secretly sighed in his heart, stepped forward to look at General Zhou, who was holding back his grief and not letting the tears fall, and said slowly, "General Zhou, the matter of tracking down the murderer can be delayed a little, for now, we should deal with her body first, and move her out of here before making other plans." ”

After saying this, she turned her head to look at Mu Shaoxuan, who had completely lost her soul, "Brother, we have more important things to do now besides grief. ”

She paused, trying to make her voice sound calmer and indifferent, "Although you and Hongyu have not officially married, but in my heart, I have long recognized Hongyu as my sister-in-law, where do you think we should handle her aftermath?" ”

Mrs. Zhou woke up quietly and heard this. She immediately struggled to stand up excitedly, looked at Mu Xiaofeng with a painful and grateful face, held her hand, and cried silently, "Miss, thank you......"

It stands to reason that Zhou Hongyu cannot be regarded as a person from Mu Mansion if he has not officially married Mu Shaoxuan.

If Zhou Hongyu's posthumous affairs are moved to Mu Mansion to be handled, it is equivalent to directly recognizing Zhou Hongyu as Mu Shaoxuan's nominal wife.

This is undoubtedly the best result for Zhou Hongyu and even the entire Zhou family. Because of her husband's family, Zhou Hongyu will be able to bear the incense in the future. Instead, he could only be buried alone outside the ancestral grave of the Zhou family.

But for Mu Shaoxuan, it is not a good thing, which is very likely to affect him to marry a wife again in the future.

This is why Mu Xiaofeng asked Qingruo to inform him to rush to the scene.

Because of this, it is impossible for Mu Xiaofeng to make a selfish decision for him just because he is his own sister.

The Zhou family all looked up at Mu Shaoxuan expectantly, of course they all hoped that Mu Shaoxuan would agree to let Zhou Hongyu enter the Mu Mansion after his death.

"Xiaoxiao," Mu Shaoxuan looked at her with a pale face, his lips opened and closed for a long time, and he barely squeezed out a sentence from his dry throat, "You have already identified her as your sister-in-law in your heart, why didn't I recognize her as my wife earlier." ”

He suddenly knelt down heavily and kowtowed to General Zhou and Mrs. Zhou, "Please also ask your father-in-law and mother-in-law to bow to your son-in-law." ”

Mrs. Zhou and General Zhou glanced at each other and looked at him with tears in their eyes, "Good boy, our family Hongyu is not blessed." ”

After saying this, General Zhou, who was as strong as iron, couldn't help but burst into tears on the spot.

Mu Xiaofeng secretly breathed a sigh of relief, since the negotiation was completed, the next step was naturally to let Zhou Hongyu's body be transferred back to Mufu.

Naturally, Mu Xiaofeng didn't need to do these things for Zhou Hongyu to clean up and change her life clothes, but she was holding back the fire in her heart, and she felt that she didn't even feel it was difficult to breathe if she didn't look at Zhou Hongyu twice.

So when the subordinates were doing these things, she didn't shy away from standing by and watching.

However, something happened that made it difficult for the next person.

Everything was cleaned up, and even Zhou Hongyu's body that was split by the big knife had been sewn back stitch by stitch.

But Zhou Hongyu's eyes were wide open, and he refused to close them no matter what.

The servant flicked her eyelids again and again, and the eyelids were still holding on. The subordinate looked at Zhou Hongyu who refused to close his eyes in fear, and then looked at Mu Xiaofeng who was standing next to him with a cold face.

I hesitated for a while, but I didn't know what to do.

Qiu Ni was also helping to clean up in the house, and when she saw this, she was crying silently, and she almost couldn't help but break down and cry again.

"Miss, Miss, she's dead!"

Mu Xiaofeng took a deep breath, slowly stepped forward, and stood still in front of Zhou Hongyu's corpse.

"Hongyu, don't worry, no matter who harms you, I, Mu Xiaofeng, can swear in front of you today that I will definitely find the murderer and blade the enemy for you."

After speaking, she slowly reached out to pull Zhou Hongyu's eyelids, but she didn't expect that she gently closed Zhou Hongyu's eyelids.

Qiu Ni couldn't help but sobbed in a low voice with mixed joy and sorrow, "Miss...... Miss, did you hear that? The eldest lady will definitely avenge you, so you can go with confidence. ”

After holding on for so long, after closing Zhou Hongyu's eyelids, Mu Xiaofeng couldn't help but shake his body.

Qingruo, who had been secretly paying attention to her on the side, immediately ran over to support her in distress, "Miss, let's go out first." ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded, poured most of the weight of his body on her, and then dragged out of the room full of sadness and despair with heavy steps.

"Call the red shadow here," out of the room, Mu Xiaofeng only sat in the side hall for a while, and remembered that his mother didn't know about it.

Such a big thing cannot be concealed no matter what.

But she knew how bad her mother's health was, and she really couldn't withstand a little blow, so she could only let Red Shadow slowly tell her mother.

As for herself? Mu Xiaofeng's heart is bitter, her current situation is actually not much better than that of her eldest brother. It's just that she knows that she can't fall, so she can only rely on one breath to hold on.

How dare she appear in front of her mother?

As for the eldest brother, she didn't dare to count on it even more.

If she hadn't hinted that Leng Yue had forcibly knocked her brother unconscious, it was estimated that she would not even be able to clean up Zhou Hongyu's body. Since moving Zhou Hongyu's body to Mufu, her brother has been holding Hongyu like a puppet.

No, just after sewing Hongyu's body and changing into a shroud, her brother woke up again. After waking up, he didn't say a word, eat or drink, like a wooden man, sitting in the room and hugging Hongyu, but this time, Mu Xiaofeng didn't have the heart to care about him.

My brother finally opened his mind and liked someone, but he suddenly faced great pain at the happiest moment, even if he was a strong person, he would have the right to vent.

Mu Xiaofeng sighed heavily, and after barely picking up two mouthfuls of food in the side hall, he motioned for Qing Ruo to let the things go.

It was good enough that she could force herself to eat two bites, and if it weren't for the sake of continuing to hold on, she wouldn't even want to see the food eaten.

"Leng Yue, you let Qiu Ni come here, I have something to ask her."

Mu Xiaofeng closed his eyes for a while, barely suppressing all kinds of tiredness and sadness.

When Qiu Ni came to the side hall, what she saw was Mu Xiaofeng, who was cold and sharp-eyed.

"Miss," she couldn't help but feel sad when she saw the calm and calm Mu Xiaofeng, but her tears had dried up for half a day, which made her throat astringent, and her eyes were only faintly painful but she couldn't shed tears, "Are you looking for a slave?" ”

Mu Xiaofeng nodded at her, "You tell me the details." ”

After a pause, he said, "Let's start with you and Hongyu entering the Shengji Fabric Shop, the more detailed the better." ”

There was no clue about the murderer from the scene, and Mu Xiaofeng could only hope for the personal maid Qiuni who entered and exited with Zhou Hongyu.

Qiu Ni nodded nervously, "The slave will definitely tell the eldest lady all the details she remembers." ”

Although the people of the Zhou family will also try to find out the murderer of Zhou Hongyu, Qiu Ni intuitively believes that the purple-clothed girl in front of her is more likely to find the murderous person behind her.

Mu Xiaofeng nodded at the red shadow sitting below, signaling that she could start recording what Qiu Ni said next.

"Then you can start talking now, starting from the time you arrive at the door of Sheng Kee Fabric Store."

Mu Xiaofeng was afraid that she would miss any details, so she took the trouble to remind again, "For example, when you got off the carriage, you could see any special people or things next to you." ”

Qiu Ni followed her guidance, silently frowning and recalling.

It happened half a day ago, so Qiu Ni didn't have too much trouble recalling.

"The slave remembers that when we arrived, it was still early, and there was no one around the shop, and as for ......the carriages," Qiu Ni wrinkled her eyebrows, and tried to think about it, "There were two or three carriages nearby, but the slave and maid looked at it at the time, and did not see anything special, and the carriages were not marked in any way. ”

Mu Xiaofeng's heart tightened, but he knew that he would be impatient, so he could only continue to ask patiently, "What about after entering the store?" Have you met anyone? ”

Qiu Ni lowered her eyelids, and tried to silently recall in her mind the situation when they entered the store. But after a while, he slowly shook his head in Mu Xiaofeng's expectant gaze, "The slave maid remembered that there were very few customers in the store at that time, all of them were a few fresh faces, and the young lady didn't even face them at all, so she directly asked the guy to take the private room on the second floor." ”
