Chapter 37: Ye Xiaochen's Guess
For everything in the natural residence, Ye Xiaochen didn't pay attention to it anymore, it was just a small test for him. It doesn't matter if the outcome is good or bad.
Time always passes quickly, and occasionally when I look back, I find that there are many things to do, which are forgotten in the passing time, but continue to accumulate in the future time.
At night, Ye Xiaochen, who was already lying on the bed, sat up suddenly, and the candle was already half smaller in the kneading of time.
"What do I want to do?" Ye Xiaochen, who sat up, was very dazed, he had fallen asleep just now, he didn't know what he remembered, he struggled out of the dream, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"Ahh Ye Xiaochen patted his head, remembered, when he came back in the morning, he handed over his bags to his uncle, and he went to find the target, and after coming back, he went to the Yuanlai Inn after lunch, and later, after dinner, he went back to the room, Ye Xiaochen actually forgot to take his bags back, and the Qiankun mirror was not around.
Although the Qiankun Mirror has its own scope of action, Ye Xiaochen can't be sure whether the distance between Uncle Gui's room and his room is within the perception range of the Qiankun Mirror.
After getting out of bed and getting dressed, Ye Xiaochen walked out of the room.
The courtyard where Ye Xiaochen is located is the middle of the Ye Mansion, and the housekeeper Agui's residence is in the east side of the courtyard, and Ye Xiaochen walked towards the east side of the courtyard.
"Hey, you're getting old!" The words of the housekeeper Agui floated in the room, it was a kind of heroic lament.
In Gui's room, Gui sat sideways on a chair, there was a basin of muddy water on the ground, and Gui was holding a cotton cloth, wiping his right leg, where there were three wounds that were about to scab, but there was still a trace of bright red overflowing from time to time.
"Uncle Gui!" Ye Xiaochen's voice came from the courtyard, and the housekeeper Agui was stunned, what is this second young master doing so late?
"Second Young Master, wait a minute, I'm getting dressed!" The housekeeper Agui moved quickly to clean up, and the speed was not at all like the speed that Uncle Gui should have at this age.
The blood-stained cotton cloth was crumpled into a ball, stuffed into the quilt, and the trouser leg was rolled off, and the housekeeper looked at the somewhat turbid blood that had nowhere to be placed, picked up the ink inkstone on the desk, and dripped a few drops of ink into it, and suddenly, the yellowish water became a little black.
All this is just a matter between two breaths, Agui picked up his clothes, draped them on his body, and opened the door for Ye Xiaochen.
Standing outside the door was Ye Xiaochen.
"Second Young Master, it's so late, what's the matter?" Agui said while letting Ye Xiaochen into the house.
Ye Xiaochen, who entered the house, had a very pungent smell in his nose!
"Uh... Uncle, what are you doing in this house? Ye Xiaochen frowned, and covered his nose with one hand that he couldn't stand it.
"Ah, second young master, you said that in this house, this person is old and not diligent, you are a coincidence, the old man has just finished washing his feet!" Uncle Gui didn't expect Ye Xiaochen's nose to be so sensitive, and pointed towards the copper basin.
I'm a good girl, how long has it been since this uncle washed his feet! Ye Xiaochen said secretly in his heart.
That basin of water is a little black!
However, Ye Xiaochen always felt that something was wrong, although the smell was pungent, but when it smelled, he actually had a feeling of déjà vu, it was definitely not the smell of foot washing water.
A flash of inspiration flashed in Ye Xiaochen's mind, but he couldn't catch it again, and he denied everything he thought of, he felt that he would be able to guess it immediately......
"Second Young Master, you haven't said it yet, what are you doing with me?" Butler Agui's words interrupted the glimmer of inspiration that he was about to surface.
"Uh... Oh, I've handed over my bags to you this morning, I'm here to get them! Ye Xiaochen was a little disappointed, seeing that he was about to succeed, but he was interrupted again, and that glimmer of aura was lost.
"Oh, the old man forgot, the second young master waited, I'll take it!" Ah Gui turned around and went to the next room, and then took Ye Xiaochen's bag out.
Ye Xiaochen looked at the housekeeper Agui, who was walking with a little lameness, but it was a housekeeper who was carrying a bag in one hand, thinking of the familiar smell in the room, and looking at the basin of blackened water on the ground.
That glimmer of light not only reappeared, but even turned into a glowing thread, connecting all the scenes of today.
Ye Xiaochen looked at the housekeeper Agui incredulously, then stared like this, took the bag from the housekeeper Agui's hand with both hands, and held it in his arms.
"Second Young Master, what's wrong, why are you looking at me like this?" The housekeeper Agui was a little puzzled.
"Uh... No, nothing. Ye Xiaochen hurriedly covered up the past, although he already had a guess in his heart, there were still some things that he hadn't figured out.
"Uncle Gui, I'll go back!" Ye Xiaochen said to the smiling housekeeper Agui, and then he was about to go out with his bag, and when he lowered his head inadvertently, he saw that there were a few black spots on the bag, Ye Xiaochen's eyes were fixed, and he glanced twice in the room, and saw the desk, where there was a tablet inkstone, but it was very weird.
The line in my head became unimpeded.
Ye Xiaochen's body about to turn around stopped, turned his head to the housekeeper Agui and asked, "Uncle Gui, when have you been following my grandfather?" ”
The housekeeper Agui was stunned, "Twenty years old, what's wrong?" There are memories in Agui's eyes.
"Oh, it's okay, just ask!" Ye Xiaochen smiled slightly and walked towards the courtyard gate.
Leaving Agui standing still in the room, his eyes full of doubt.
"Whew..."Out of the East Wing Courtyard, Ye Xiaochen breathed a sigh of relief, and the guess in his heart was already conclusive after Uncle Gui gave the answer.
This noble uncle is the murderer who killed the two snitches in the morning! Then everything will fall into place!
The snitch must have found out that he was making a big deal during the day, and in the middle of the night he went to the inn to get some oil and water from himself, and he must have stolen his bags first, but found that there were only clothes and some sundries, so he prepared to go to the housekeeper.
Or he was found by the housekeeper before he went, and after a fight, the two snitches died, and the housekeeper Agui was injured in the leg.
So the two snitches died downstairs in the housekeeper Agui's room, and when they got up in the morning, they packed their bags in the housekeeper's room, and the housekeeper "happened" to stumble.
There was also the familiar smell I smelled when I entered the house just now, which was very similar to the smell of some disinfectants in the real world, and the housekeeper must have been injured somewhere in his leg.
As for saying that the foot rubbing medicine is also reasonable, but it is suspicious that if it is the foot rubbing medicine, why Agui does not say it generously, but hides it, so it doesn't make sense here.
As for the basin of black whirring "foot washing water", when I saw a few black spots on my bag, I suddenly realized.
When he came, Ah Gui should be dealing with the wound, and after he polluted the blood with ink in a panic, he forgot to wipe off the inkstone on his fingers, so there were black spots on his bags, otherwise how could the fingers of the person who had just washed his feet be black.
Another suspicious thing is that although his bag is not heavy, a sixty-year-old man with broken feet is actually carrying it with one hand and his body shape remains unchanged, which can only indicate that this old man has amazing arm strength or martial arts.
These clues and coincidences converged in Ye Xiaochen's mind into a picture close to the truth.
