Chapter 8: Another one

Ask for collection, ask for recommendation)

Hu Guida couldn't believe it, and asked several times along the way, "Really?" Brother Sanliu is going to be a hundred households? ”

"Try 100 households." Hu Guiyang had to correct it every time.

"I will be able to teach it soon, my father-in-law is a hundred households, and my eldest brother is the captain...... Oh my God, Brother Sanliu, I must say, it's a bit ...... It's a bit ......."

"Unfair?"

Hu Guida laughed hesitantly and did not answer.

Zhao Ying's death is just an inconspicuous matter in the entire capital, the streets are still full of pedestrians, and the sky is still blue and clear.

When he was about to return to the alley of Guanyin Temple, Hu Guiyang said: "It's really unfair. ”

Hu Guida hurriedly said, "What's unfair? Are all so many officials in the world worthy of their names? I don't think so, others can have good luck, why can't Brother Sanliu? ”

The Zhao family does not do things, but they also have to stop mourning for seven days, and there are still relatives and friends who come one after another, Hu Guiyang saw many unfamiliar faces after entering the hospital, and then remembered that his father-in-law has not had much contact with relatives over the years.

The coffin was closed again, and the news of the disappearance of the body had obviously spread, and the people who came to mourn were whispering, as soon as they saw someone approaching, they immediately shut up.

Hu Guiyang didn't want to associate with these people, so he went directly to the unmanned Yanwu Hall, sat for a while, walked for a while, and he had to seriously think about how to investigate the case.

Hu Guida didn't follow, and hurriedly ran over soon after, "Third and sixth brother, go to the backyard, eldest brother and fifth brother are looking for you." ”

Hu Guiyang didn't ask what was going on, followed the 39th brother out, and went to the backyard along the corridor.

The courtyard door was not latched, and as soon as the two approached, someone inside opened the door and closed it immediately after letting them in.

The person who opened the door was Lao Wuhu Guimeng, whose already dark face was so gloomy that it seemed like it was going to rain at this time, "You stay and guard the door, no one is allowed to come in, you come with me." ”

Hu Gui watched the door and guessed that something big was happening, so he didn't dare to ask more.

Hu Guiyang followed the fifth brother into the house.

Sun Long's wife, Aunt Sun, sat there in a daze, and was scared when she saw someone coming in, completely lacking the spicy energy of the past, the eldest brother Hu Guishen paced back and forth, muttering in his mouth, and immediately stopped when he saw Hu Guiyang, "How is it?" ”

"How's that?" Hu Guiyang was inexplicable, glanced at it, and didn't see a few maids, "What's wrong?" ”

Aunt Sun, who was sitting, suddenly cried, "It's all my fault, I didn't watch it, but I can't think of ......"

There was a warm pavilion on each side, and Hu Guiyang walked to the one a little farther away from Aunt Sun, and pushed the door in.

The warm pavilion is simple, but very clean, there is a loose bow hanging on the wall, which is the most obvious mark of Zhao Ying of the hundred households, and the others are women's things such as mirrors and makeup, and there is a faint smell of fat powder.

There was also a hint of gore in between.

Yahuan Xiaorou lay motionless on her back on the bed, her body was full of blood, and there were four extremely deep wounds on her chest, and the blood had coagulated, which became more and more shocking.

Hu Guiyang looked closer for a while, and then checked under the bed and the window, the eldest brother and the fifth brother had obviously checked, and there was nothing suspicious, there was nothing under the bed, and the window was closed well.

"Demon Fox...... appeared again, so in this way, the death of the stepfather may really be related to the demon fox. The eldest brother Hu Guishen's face was pale, and he looked at the fifth elder Hu Guimeng, "Have you seen the body of your father-in-law, there are really no scars?" ”

"No, I've said it several times, I'm not the only one who saw the body, and more than a dozen brothers can testify." Hu Guimeng replied coldly, although he was also surprised, he was still much calmer than his eldest brother.

Hu Guiyang came out and looked at the warm pavilion opposite, "Where are the others?" ”

Second Aunt Sun just trembled, the eldest Hu Guishen bowed his head and was silent, and the fifth Hu Guimeng said: "The three room Yahuan, the three rough Yahuan, lived in the courtyard yesterday, and they are all suspicious." ”

Second Aunt Sun jumped as if she had been pricked by a needle, and said blankly: "I also lived here last night......"

"Second aunt has no problem, you come to help, it's too late for our brother to be grateful, how can you doubt it?" Hu Guimeng gave an affirmative answer.

Hu Guiyang over there said, "Not necessarily." ”

Second Aunt Sun just breathed a sigh of relief, at this time, her eyebrows, eyebrows, mouth and nose were crowded together, and she would cry at any time, Hu Guimeng looked at the third and sixth brother angrily, complaining that he couldn't speak, and the eldest brother Hu Guishen also shook his head and said vaguely: "This is our second aunt, no, never ......."

Hu Guiyang ignored the two brothers and walked into another warm pavilion.

There is no bed in the warm pavilion here, but a kang, six women are huddled together on it, three people wear silk cloth plain clothes, the same as Xiaorou, it is Zhao Ying bought a few years ago, and the other three wear coarse cloth dresses, usually do some rough work, because of an accident at home, temporarily live in the cross-hospital.

Zhao Ying not only recognized forty famous sons from Broken Tengxia back then, but also brought back more than a dozen girls, and after raising them, they found someone to marry, and there were three left, who stayed at home because of their rough appearance.

The righteous sons were familiar with the three rough envoys, and Hu Guiyang asked in a harmonious voice, "Who will tell me what happened last night?" ”

None of the six maids spoke, and they trembled even more violently.

Hu Guimeng's voice came from behind him, "I've already asked, they slept soundly and didn't hear anything." ”

Originally, Aunt Sun and a maid ring were with Xiao Rou, but Xiao Rou was emotionally unstable, and she would become very excited when she heard a little noise, so Aunt Sun had to take six Yahuan to sleep on the kang in another warm pavilion, after dawn, Xiao Rou was silent here, and everyone thought she was too tired, and it was normal to snooze for a while, so she didn't urge, but lowered her voice and didn't dare to disturb.

It wasn't until after the sun was three poles later that Aunt Sun was a little impatient, knocked on the door and entered the house, only to see a dead body, she finally kept a little calm, did not shout, but found Hu Guishen and Hu Guimeng brothers.

The two brothers checked everything they should have checked, and they asked everything they should ask, and they didn't find anything abnormal.

"Ask the two brothers to go outside and talk." Hu Guiyang took the lead and went out.

Hu Guida was still guarding the gate of the courtyard, it was quiet outside, most of the people were concentrated in the front yard, and there were few people in the back yard.

Out of the house, the eldest brother Hu Guishen was a little relaxed, and arched his hand: "Congratulations to the third and ninth brothers, I heard that you have been awarded the position of Yanshan avant-garde hundred households." ”

"Try 100 households." Hu Guiyang corrected again, looked at the eldest brother, and then at the fifth brother, and said, "What do the two elder brothers think?" ”

The boss Hu Guishen frowned and was silent, unwilling to speak, and the fifth elder Hu Guimeng said: "All parties recommend you to investigate the case, of course, you have the final say." ”

"Okay." Hu Guiyang did not shirk again, "First of all, drive away all the people who mourn, leave only their families, and close their doors." ”

The first one was unusual, and even Hu Guida, who was guarding the door, turned his head in surprise.

"This ...... Not quite right, right? Hu Guishen looked at the eldest Hu Guimeng nervously, although they were competing for the position of parent, the two still maintained a friendship between brothers.

Hu Guimeng's brows furrowed even tighter, "The guests who came were all neighbors, as well as relatives and friends of my father-in-law, so it was indeed a bit rude to take them away." ”

"It's a pity that the thirteenth brother and the sixteenth brother are not here, these two people are literate and martial, and they will definitely be able to help a lot." Although Hu Guishen is the eldest brother, he is panicked in an emergency.

Hu Guimeng didn't feel the need for help, "We have all followed our father-in-law to investigate so many cases, can't we solve this little thing?" The demon fox is fake, it is obviously the enemy of the father-in-law who is playing ghosts, and he sent his brothers to investigate and secretly visit, and it will inevitably be revealed within three days. ”

The eldest and fifth talked for a while, and suddenly noticed that Hu Guiyang had been silent, and Hu Guishen said: "Third and sixth brother, what else do you think?" ”

Hu Guiyang spread his hands, "What do you think?" Later, I will go to see Lord Yuan again, and ask him to give me a letter of appointment immediately, and then go to the East Factory and the West Factory to ask for a formal appointment each, and then start investigating the case after the name is justified. ”

The fifth brother Hu Guimeng's face changed color, and the eldest Hu Guishen smiled embarrassedly: "The third and sixth brothers think we are verbose, okay, you are in charge, but you have to explain why you want to invite the guests away." ”

"Because this is just the beginning, the killing will continue." No matter how surprised the three brothers present were, Hu Guiyang took a few steps and turned around suddenly, "Fifth brother won't lie, and many brothers have seen it, there are no obvious new injuries on my father-in-law's body." ”

"Of course I didn't...... You go on to say. Hu Gui suppressed the dissatisfaction in his heart.

"Xiao Rou has four wounds on her body, obviously to tell everyone that the demon fox has reappeared."

"Something happened to Xiaorou?" Hu Gui, who was guarding the door, was taken aback, he kept running errands back and forth, not knowing what was going on in the house.

No one paid attention to him, Hu Guiyang continued: "There is only one reasonable explanation, no matter how the father-in-law died, it has nothing to do with the demon fox, and the demon fox wants to be greedy for his own merits, so he assassinated Xiaorou, and next, it is likely that he will do it again to cause a storm in the city." ”

The eldest Hu Guishen coughed and reminded: "The death of the righteous father may not have anything to do with the demon fox, don't rush to make a conclusion first." ”

Hu Guiyang still said to himself, "The demon fox may not be the same person, or even the same gang, but because of its reputation, it was used by traitors." ”

"This ...... Why? Hu Guishen was very puzzled.

"Catch the murderer, and you'll know why, and the murderer is among us."

The other three looked at each other and didn't answer.

Hu Guiyang explained: "When I say 'we', I don't mean the four of us, it's all the people in this house, so we have to send all the guests away, close the door, and investigate one by one." ”

Still no one answered, and the small courtyard fell into an uneasy calm.

Bangbang, the knock on the door suddenly startled several people, especially Hu Guida, the whole person jumped up and shouted: "Who?" ”

"I, your second uncle, why do you lock the door in broad daylight? Which are you? Why did you run into the women's hospital? ”

Hu Guida stuck out his tongue and stepped aside, not daring to answer a word.

Hu Guiyang walked over and opened the door.

Sun Long was stunned, "Why are you?" Did you see Lord Yuan in Jinyiwei? What about your second aunt? Staying here and not going home? ”

"Second uncle, I want to borrow your house for use, and invite all the guests to go there to condole."

"Uh...... You can borrow it, but you ......"

"The second uncle has a lot of friendship with his father-in-law, so you have to stay here."

"What?" The old man was confused.

"Maybe you're the murderer and the demon fox."

Sun Long was stunned again, and then pounced on Hu Guiyang, "I'll let you talk nonsense!" ”

"Xiaorou is dead, and she has a sharp claw wound on her body, and the second aunt will see it herself." Hu Guiyang poured out these words very quickly.

Sun Long stopped, maintaining a posture of opening his teeth and dancing claws, "Another death?" ”

"Another one died, the demon fox reappeared, there must be a plan, you all let me investigate the case, okay, then start with your own people first."
