Seeing that the people outside the door were wearing official robes, Zhou Yan was inevitably shocked, but he still calmed down and said, "Official, I don't know what you are doing here?" ”

Xu Chong grinned, revealing his white teeth, "What am I doing here, you should know very well in your heart, right?" ”

"Ruyi's death has nothing to do with me," Zhou Yan looked directly into Xu Chong's eyes, his tone hardened, and then quickly softened, and his voice was choked, "But...... But I admit that I do have feelings for her, and the two of us grew up together, but ...... My affection is not what she wants......"

"You can't give her the rich life she wants, so you killed her because of love and hatred." Xu Chong observed Zhou Yan's expression as he spoke, he thought that what he was waiting for would be a thunderous self-defense, but he thought that it was a sneer.

"It is said that Lord Xu Chongxu is like a god in handling cases, fair and honest, and now it seems that this is nothing more than that."

Xu Chong smiled, and a cloud suddenly appeared on his face, "It seems that I haven't handled the case for too long, so that everyone regards me, the living king of Hades, as a living bodhisattva, and even people like you dare to be presumptuous in front of me." ”

Before the words fell, he had already stretched out a big hand and grabbed Zhou Yan's face. Zhou Yan didn't expect him to suddenly get angry, and he couldn't dodge under his feet, so he could only raise his hand to cover his face, but he knew in his heart that with Xu Chong's kung fu, don't say that one person, even if seven or eight of them work together, they are not his opponents.

But just when Zhou Yan was ready to be injured, his wrist was gently held by Xu Chong, and through his fingers, he saw a smiling face, which was similar to the angry catcher just now.

"I'm sorry to frighten you." Xu Chong saw that Zhou Yan stabilized his body, Fang let go of his hand, nodded at him, and continued, "Zhou Gongzi has nothing to do with Cui Ruyi's death, please bear with me if I disturb you." ”

After speaking, he bowed down again and made a gesture at the panicked old lady Zhou, turned around and wanted to leave. Zhou Yan was surprised in his heart, and hurriedly stopped him, "Lord Xu, I'm ...... I went to Yang's house yesterday, why don't you just ask, just leave? ”

Hearing this, Xu Chong turned half of his body, and his cold side face was coated with a soft light by the warm sun after the snow, "I just heard the conversation between your mother and son outside the door, and I knew that you were open-minded, not like the person who committed adultery, and after I tried you, I was more sure of my conjecture." ”

"Tried?" Zhou Yan was puzzled.

Xu Chong smiled, "The murderer left a handprint on the inkstone. ”

Zhou Yan thought for a while, and suddenly understood, "Could it be ...... Could it be that the murderer is a left-hander, and the adults are deliberately trying me just to see which hand I can use to resist your attack first? ”

Xu Chong looked at him fixedly, and after a while, he said, "Zhou Gongzi, you are very smart, Miss Ruyi did not choose you, she is not blessed." ”

This sentence suddenly hit Zhou Yan's heartstrings, he took a step forward and said in a trembling voice, "My lord, although I have no fate with Ruyi, I still can't bear her to die unjustly, please be sure to find out the real culprit and avenge her." "I've never seen her look like that, sickly and cowering on the bed, not at all like the high-spirited girl I knew." She also told me that she was very afraid, afraid that she would be killed like the previous young ladies of the Yang family. ”

As soon as he stepped into the Yang Mansion, Xu Chong saw Wu Yuanli coming up to him, he was very excited, and his face was as red as a persimmon.

"My lord, I found the ghost, my lord, you are really clever, you can guess that the ghost is a human pretend."

Xu Chong stood still, his eyebrows furrowed, "Who?" ”

"Yang Ziyun's daughter, Sister Liu, the little girl has been spoiled since she was a child, and she became more and more angry after losing her mother, so she vented all her anger on Cui Ruyi." Speaking of this, he smiled proudly, "But a child is a child, and I was slightly intimidated by me, and I confided all the truth." She said, as soon as Cui Ruyi entered the door, she did everything possible to scare her, lying on the window in the middle of the night and singing, tearing Cui Ruyi's new clothes, and scaring a good bride into her soul, thinking that she was entangled by a ghost......"

"Did she confess that she had killed someone?" Xu Chong interrupted Wu Yuanli's words.

"Murder?" Wu Yuanli blinked his two small eyes, as if he suddenly remembered that he was here to investigate a homigre, "That's ...... Not really...... Didn't say ......"

Looking at the beads of sweat rolling down Wu Yuanli's forehead, Xu Chong sneered, "Lord Wu also knows that with that little girl's size and figure, unless she stands on top of a stool, she can smash Cui Ruyi to death?" ”

Wu Yuanli lowered his head, not daring to look at Xu Chong's face, "Standing on a low stool...... Also...... It's not impossible ......"

"Master Wu, the inkstone is extremely heavy, and Liu Er already has to use all her strength just to lift it, not to mention that she has to carry a low stool by herself, climb on the stool first, and then lift the inkstone. Such a big movement, even if Cui Ruyi was already in a trance at the time, she would not notice it at all? ”

Wu Yuanli rubbed his fingers and smashed his mouth for a long time, "That's ...... This person who pretends to be a ghost is not a murderer, and his subordinates really don't know who the murderer is, is it a real ghost? ”

Hearing him say this, Xu Chong took a deep breath and pressed down a dirty word that was about to blurt out. He calmed down, closed his eyes and whispered, "Call Sister Liu." ”

"Didn't you say she wasn't a murderer?"

Wu Yuanli regretted saying this, because all the green tendons on Xu Chong's forehead burst out, and his face was gloomy and terrifying, as if he was going to be eaten alive.

***

"I didn't kill anyone, I just wanted to scare her, but I didn't kill her," Sister Liu was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her body trembling like a sieve, "That day in the fish pond, I saw her scared like that, and I actually regretted it, but I can't say it, I'm afraid that my father and grandfather will scold me......"

Yang Ziyun saw that her daughter was trembling on the ground in fright, and she was about to rush over without thinking, but was stopped by an arm. Xu Chong glanced at him and said sharply, "From now on, except for Liu Er, no one should speak, if anyone dares to say more, don't blame the sword in my hand for not having eyes." ”

The words completely shocked the crowd, he turned around, strode to Liu Er's side, and lowered his head to look at her, "Liu Er, how did the two ladies die before Ruyi?" ”

Liu Er sobbed, out of breath, "The first one...... The first one fell into the fish pond, she didn't know how to water, and there was no maid to follow her, so she drowned...... Submerge...... He's dead; The other one was fine when he got on the sedan chair, but when the sedan curtain came, his body was already stiff, as if he had heard that it was ...... It's a heart disease......"

"Did you see her face?"

"I saw it, it was so dark that I couldn't even hide the incense powder."
