Lu Chuyi glanced at Ou Zhengxue and said coldly: "By the way? This may not be too much of an understatement, after all, killing people and seizing treasures is to destroy his family, I am afraid it is not by the way, it has been planned for a long time. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince he started killing, I'm afraid he will never let the other two go. ”

Ou Zhengxue put away the casualness just now, and said with a straight face: "What the master said is extremely true. ”

Lu Chuyi said: "The most important thing now is to catch the murderer ......." ”

Ou Zhengxue said solemnly: "No, the most important thing now is to buy more dry firewood, the firewood split from the trees on the mountain of the Seven Star Array is of the highest quality both for heating and cooking, I heard that there is ...... in the palace."

Lu Chuyi was stunned, not understanding what Ou Zhengxue was talking about at all. I saw Qing'er walk in and said, "Lady, Zou Sheng has arrived." ”

At this time, I saw Zou Sheng walking in with a wooden stick carrying two bundles of firewood.

Zou Sheng entered the door and saluted and said with a smile: "Zou Sheng is lucky today, the firewood rings lightly in the morning, and Miss Qing'er wants to burn firewood and carry the burden into the house." ”

Qing'er raised her hand and pointed, and Zou Sheng followed the direction of Qing'er's finger and put the firewood on the wall. He bowed slightly, turned and walked out.

Lu Chu asked puzzledly: "This is the firewood you bought Ou Niangzi?" ”

Ou Zhengxue looked at Lu Chuyi and replied seriously: "Hmm." ”

Lu Chuyi was even more confused in his heart, and he didn't know what medicine Ou Zhengxue was selling in the gourd. And Ou Zhengxue stopped talking, and asked Qing'er to make tea for the two of them, and tasted the tea leisurely.

Since Ou Zhengxue didn't say anything, Lu Chuyi didn't ask again, but also picked up the tea bowl and drank it slowly.

It didn't take long for Zou Sheng to send dozens of bundles of firewood one after another, Qing'er took a bag to him, Zou Sheng opened it and looked at it, he was very happy, nodded his head again and again, and left.

As soon as Zou Sheng left, Ou Zhengxue jumped up from the chair and went straight to the bundles of firewood.

She carefully opened the ropes on one of the bundles of firewood, and carefully examined them one by one.

"Ou Niangzi, what does this mean?" Lu Chuyi couldn't help asking.

Ou Zhengxue didn't answer, she lowered her head and looked for something seriously. Lu Chuyi followed and watched for a while, but he really didn't see anything, he was about to leave, only to hear Ou Zhengxue say: "Found it!" ”

He quickly turned around and said, "What? ”

Ou Zhengxue said: "Look! ”

Lu Chuyi leaned over to take a look, and saw that there was a knot in the middle of this rope that seemed to be a little loose, and there were traces of being twisted hard at both ends of this loose rope.

Lu Chuyi's heart moved, and he took a closer look at the gap in the loose rope, and he could vaguely see some white dandruff.

"Could this be the rope that strangled Tong Si?!" Lu Chuyi gasped and said.

Ou Zhengxue nodded and said, "Exactly." ”

Lu Chuyi asked with some surprise: "How do you deduce that Zou Sheng is the murderer?" ”

Ou Zhengxue shook her head and smiled: "I'm not very sure that he is the murderer, I just think that Tong Si was strangled to death by a rope in his bedroom, and the murderer strangled Tong Si by taking advantage of his unpreparedness."

Then the murderer came into the house with such a long rope and did not arouse Tong Si's precautions, and walked with the rope, but did not arouse the suspicion of the neighbors, then the identity of this person ......"

Lu Chuyi nodded and said, "Unless it's a woodcutter who comes in and out with a rope every day." ”

Ou Zhengxue said: "The reason why I didn't say it before is because I can't be sure whether this murderer is Zou Sheng or not, and I must confirm my speculation first." It seems that the other half of the treasure map is in Zou Sheng's hands......"

Just as she was saying this, Ou Zhengxue suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck, and a steel knife was on her neck, it turned out to be Zou Sheng!

Zou Sheng sneered and said, "It seems that I must kill the two of you, lest you ruin my good deeds." ”

"Well done!" At this time, a person came from outside the door, and the person who came was the old butler of Wanyutang.

Lu Chuyi looked at the two halves of the picture in the old housekeeper's hand, and woke up like a dream: "It turns out that what Mrs. Ou said, the inner ghost in Wanfu is designed to make Mrs. Wan fall asleep, and it is you who scare Wanyutang when you enter the bedroom!" ”

The old butler laughed and said, "Yes, it's me!"

Ou Niangzi is smart and smart, but it's a pity that she overestimated Mrs. Wan's city, and as soon as she left, Mrs. Wan told me that they were going to design to catch the ghosts, so I deliberately lured Tong Si to let him take the bait.

I, Xiao Zhonglin, have been in Wanjia incognito and disguised for many years, just to find out this half of the treasure map, who would have thought that there was nowhere to find it when I stepped on the iron shoes, and this treasure map was actually in Ouyang Fei's hands! ”

Ou Zhengxue said coldly: "The matter has come to this, we can only resign ourselves to fate, I have to ask, did Tong Si kill you Zou Sheng?" Why did you kill him? Are we going to kill all of them when we run out? ”

Zou Sheng looked at Ou Zhengxue and said: "I discussed with my father, we only found the treasure map, as long as the treasure, it is not a last resort, and it will not hurt people's lives, after all, it is not worth killing people." I had no intention of killing him, but I was only to blame that I passed by the door of Tong Si's house that day......"

It turned out that the day......

Tong four.

Tong Si was pacing back and forth in the house, angrily whispering to himself: "I knew that the picture was torn in half, and now it is so difficult to find, I should have used the dagger with the gem to kill Xiao Zhonglin, a fool, and recapture the treasure map, it was really a thought, and now, now this treasure map is half of it can't be found, and it has cut off Lao Tzu's financial route!" This Xiao Zhonglin should be cut with a thousand cuts, and if he dies, he will tear off half of the picture, phew! Cheap bones, he should be beaten to death, and then pushed down! Mistakes, mistakes, hey! ”

With a sweep of his eyes, there was a person at the door, he thought it was his wife who came back from laundry, and when he looked closely, it was Zou Sheng who was chopping wood. Zou Sheng didn't know when he came, standing at the door and looking at him expressionlessly.

"Zou Sheng? What are you doing here? What's the matter?" On weekdays, this Zou Sheng'an is honest and his neighbor, but he didn't help Tong Si's family send firewood for nothing, and the two are also familiar.

Zou Sheng smiled and said, "Uncle Tong Zou Sheng picked up something on the mountain, and I want you to help see if it is a valuable object." ”

When Tong Si heard this, he became interested and said, "Okay, then bring it to me to see." ”

Zou Sheng took out a turquoise jade pendant from his arms and placed it on the table in front of Tong Si's eyes.

Tong Si looked at it, his eyes lit up, this jade pendant was crystal clear and finely carved, and it was priceless at a glance! His eyes were full of greed, and his eyes were rolling as he thought about how to get his hands on the treasure.

Just as he reached out to take the jade pendant, his throat tightened - his neck had been strangled by a rope!

Tong Si's eyes widened, and before he could understand, he only felt that his throat was getting tighter and tighter, and he wanted to grab the rope with both hands and pull it out desperately, but to no avail.

Just when he was dying, he heard Zou Sheng behind him say coldly: "Tong Si, I am the son of Xiao Zhonglin, who pushed down the cliff in order to snatch the treasure map, Xiao Sheng who burned to death in the thunder fire!"

Tong Si, you dog mongrel! Today is the day when you pay for your blood debts, you ruthless brute, you innocent death! ”

When Tong Si heard Xiao Zhonglin's words, he was so frightened that his hands and feet weakened, his eyes widened in despair, and he gradually lost his breath in confusion and fear.

Zou Sheng put down Tong Si, who was already stiff, picked up the jade pendant on the table, put away the rope, and walked out of the door......
