Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Cause of Death
Smoke filled the sky, and fire filled the sky.
"Ning'er, let's go!" Hu Yanshi pushed Lan Se Ning out of the door and ran back.
Lancer sat down on the ground, panting heavily, unable to speak, and stretched out his hand tremblingly, but Hu Yanshi left her with a back, farther and farther away.
In an instant, the fire became faster and faster, but Hu Yanshi did not come out, and Lan Se prayed silently in his heart.
Yan Shi ...... Hurry up, you'll be fine......
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lan Se Ning's body was full of burning marks, her face was dirty, and her hair was scattered, so she couldn't tell that she was a young lady at all. She kept looking at the door of the room, not daring to blink her eyes, waiting for Hu Yanshi to come out.
Suddenly, a person who was burned by fire appeared in front of her, this person's figure was very small, and at first glance it was not Hu Yanshi, it should be a girl.
This girl, whose whole body was almost covered in fire, had wide eyes and painful whimpering sounds from her mouth, and looked terrible.
"Are you ......" Lan Se Ning was worried about Hu Yanshi in her heart, and was startled by her.
But she should have been speechless, she just stretched out her hand to Lan Sening, revealing a hideous expression.
"Don't come here!" Ranse-ning's heart was filled with fear, and she struggled to retreat.
The girl desperately opened her mouth, and the tongue of fire continued to devour her, and after a while, it spread all over her body, and she walked towards Lan Se Ning step by step.
Lance was terrified to the extreme, stumbling to his feet and running.
When the girl saw her running, her eyes became desperate, and her expression became even more hideous, and she chased after her with all her strength.
Cliff...... Getting closer......
The girl's body was already charred black, but she didn't know what force supported her, and she kept chasing Lan Sening until she got close to the cliff......
Seeing that the girl was about to rush in front of her, Lancer, who had no way out, jumped into the ......
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Miss, do you remember?" A figure dressed in white slowly approached Lan Tsering.
"You...... You are ......" Lan Se Ning struggled to keep her eyes open as she looked at the girl who was gradually coming out of the thick fog.
The girl should be twelve or thirteen years old, thin and small.
This feeling...... How is it so like......
Lan Se Ning finally saw her face clearly, and took a few steps back in fright.
The face, the flesh and blood that had been burned by the fire were blurred and charred, and in some places there were bones, so hideous that I couldn't bear to look at it directly, and it was already unrecognizable.
"You're ...... when it's fire"
"Yes, I'm the one you left behind......"
"I'm sorry, I was so scared......" Lan Sening's voice trembled.
"Does an apology work? Do you know how desperate I was when I faced the young lady I trusted? You will take your life! Rui'er held out her hand to Lan Tse.
"Don't!" Lan Se Ning shouted loudly and opened his eyes.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Let's talk about the murders in the order of the murders." Bai Qiuchi couldn't eat properly because he was busy taking care of the brocade just now, so he really said while eating unceremoniously.
"Bai Dao Chang is really bold." Hu Yanshi said with a smile.
"Without further ado, the first case of Mrs. Hu and the black cat being sucked dry of flesh and blood, there is no doubt that it was because of Steward Mo's 'negligence' and the result of not feeding in time."
"What do you mean?"
"Steward Mo helps Master Hu to trick some subordinates into sacrificing something in the lotus pond on a regular basis." Bai Qiuchi looked at Hu Yanshi and asked, "Does the eldest young master know about this matter?" ”
"Oh? Is there such a thing? Please also ask Bai Dao to speak in detail, and listen to your ears in the next morning. ”
"Steward Mo took advantage of the reputation of Hu Mansion to recruit many nearby village names at a high price to be family members, and also wrote to their families regularly to report their safety, although the number of people decreased, he always had a reason to prevaricate the past, so he continued to deceive the people to come to Hu Mansion. He also said that these people have several uses, one is to feed Hu Jianghai's lotus, the second is to make fun of Mrs. Hu, and the third is to give him pharmaceutical experiments. ”
"I really didn't expect it, maybe this is one of the old woman's secrets." Hu Yanshi smiled indifferently, as if these uncountable lives were nothing, "The family is all managed by Steward Mo, and the subordinates around us will not be replaced, so we will not care about the whereabouts of these subordinates." ”
"Hearing that so many people's souls have returned to the west, the eldest young master is really calm."
"Bai Dao has won the award, and I really don't feel anything about these insignificant people. However, I'm very interested in the several uses of these people who are very pitiful in the eyes of Bai Dao Chang, I wonder if Bai Dao Chang can tell them one by one? Hu Yanshi pretended not to hear Bai Qiuchi's sarcastic tone, and looked like he was humbly asking for advice.
"Does the eldest young master know that there is a dark room in front of Lord Bing?"
"It turns out that our Hu family still has so many secrets." Hu Yanshi shook his head and said he didn't know.
"In the dark room of this Ice Pavilion, there are many sins hidden, although some have been destroyed by Steward Mo, but there are still traces left. There are many torture instruments and experimental drugs outside the dark room, a pool for throwing corpses, and more large torture instruments in the room behind the stone door of the dark room, as well as a cell for the detainees. Recalling these, Bai Qiuchi, who was accustomed to seeing strong winds and waves, felt a little chilled.
Hu Yanshi listened attentively.
Steward Mo said that Mrs. Hu used these torture instruments to appreciate the family's painful expressions and please herself, but also to please her cat. However, Old Madam Hu is so old, will she go to such a cold place as the Ice Pavilion? ”
"Definitely not." Hu Yanshi shook his wine glass and said, "Although I didn't know that there was such a dark room, I know that there are many secret passages under our house, and I don't know what era left them, and for so many years, I haven't fully explored them, even if I know that there are secret passages, I can't do anything about those mechanisms, and I can't crack them like Bai Daochang." ”
"The eldest young master has been raised." Bai Qiuchi said modestly.
"Well, she's a perverted old woman." Hu Yanshi sighed.
If the brocade or fancy is here, you will definitely complain: Speaking of which, you seem to be the grandson of this old woman, right? Speaking of perverts, you're no better.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Steward Mo said that every once in a while, he would open the mechanism of the water prison and let the vines reach in to arrest people. The official who was rescued in the water prison said that the vine looked very much like the rhizome of the lotus, and coupled with what Steward Mo said, I think it should be possible to judge that the reason why the lotus turned red was that it absorbed human flesh and blood, and maybe the lotus flower was the demon at the bottom of the pool. The last time Steward Mo forgot to release people on time due to a problem in the pharmaceutical experiment, the lotus would reach out to the living creatures passing by the lotus pond, and Mrs. Hu also passed away. ”
"In this way, this old woman is also to blame, and she deserves it." Hu Yanshi saluted Bai Qiuchi, and drank a glass of wine, "Then what's the matter with experiments?" ”
"On the one hand, because the third young master was given a 'pedophile' by Master Hu, Steward Mo and the second lady planted a lot of herbs to treat him, and he refined the poison of the gorilla grass to be used as a medicine guide, and people needed to do experiments;
"Haha, that dead old man won't go to that kind of place, so he doesn't count making wedding dresses for others, and he also takes his life. The toxicity of this gorilla grass really opened my eyes, Steward Mo is really talented, he can make this kind of medicine that kills people invisibly and without traces, but it is still Bai Dao Chang who is more powerful and can see through his tricks. Hu Yanshi looked very happy.
Bai Qiuchi didn't want to show modest politeness anymore.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"But as far as I know, the old man died a very miserable death, covered in blood, maybe not like what Bai Dao Chang saw without a trace." Hu Yanshi looked at the rotating wine glass in his hand and smacked his lips and said.
"How did the eldest young master know?"
"I've got someone you've been looking for, he told me." Hu Yanshi hooked the corners of his mouth and smiled, "Bai Daochang told me so much, didn't he just want to see him?" I think he could be considered a witness. ”
"The eldest young master must keep his promise."
"That's natural, but before that, has Bai Dao Chang made any progress on other things?"
"The second lady and the third lady both died of the poison of the gorilla grass, and it was the third young master who did it. The third lady was used by the third young master to conduct experiments, and although the second lady committed suicide, she took the poison given to her by the third young master, and Steward Mo died by taking the medicine herself. As for the death of the eldest lady and Wan'er, it should be the work of the monster, but the suspicious thing is that the bodies of the two are intact, which is different from the lotus demon we think. ”
"Bai Daochang's analysis is really wonderful." Hu Yanshi clapped his hands and asked, "Then what does Bai Dao Chang plan to do with the third brother?" ”
"He's still a kid, and he's too late to regret it. When these things are over, I will take him to the government to make it clear, and he should be dealt with leniently. ”
"Bai Dao Chang is really fair and strict." Hu Yanshi asked the last question, "I heard that Bai Daochang got an interesting thing on the scene, that is, my family's heirloom blood jade golden hairpin, I don't know what I will gain after opening that jewelry box?" ”
"How did the eldest young master know about this? Is it your arrangement? ”
"In fact, there are two blood jade golden hairpins, one true and one false. Feng Wanting has a fake in her hands, but I'm here for the real thing. To be exact, I should have found a chance to replace her jewelry case after it was completed. However, it was only after Yan Lingsha discovered that the jewelry box was made of blood jade and golden hairpins as the key, and I found out that Feng Wanting's secret should be hidden there. Maybe she doesn't remember it herself. ”
"Why would the eldest young master want to investigate the secret of the eldest lady?"
"Because, I think it has something to do with the fire three years ago. After the fire, Feng Wanting forgot a lot of things and couldn't say anything, so I asked her to find the secret of the old woman and the dead old man to see if she would remember anything, but in the end she couldn't think of anything useful. ”
"The jewelry box is placed on the dresser, and it is much cleaner than other places, indicating that the eldest lady still uses it often."
"Maybe it's in the dark, she still has an impression. Now that she's dead, there's no way to know. Hu Yanshi shrugged, raised his chin slightly, and asked, "Now Bai Dao Chang can tell me what's inside, right?" ”
"In fact, there's nothing in there."
"How is that possible?" Hu Yanshi was very surprised.
"If there were, I don't know who took it." Bai Qiuchi asked, "The eldest young master hasn't answered me yet, how do you know that the blood jade golden hairpin is here?" ”
"Well......" Hu Yanshi was just about to speak, when a person suddenly crawled out of the tablecloth.
Bai Qiuchi was also slightly startled, and when he looked at it, it turned out to be the "missing" Ah Liang.
"Ah Liang, why did you come out?"
