Chapter 22 There are few people in the house
Or was it someone else who stole the ship's atlas? Of course, it is not ruled out that Master Fu fell into the trap of Gongzi Taosheng.
"Father will show you the place where the ship's atlas was stolen." Master Fu is also a person with a city government, although he wonders how Fu Rongxue did it, but he understands that the most important thing at the moment is to find back the stolen ship atlas is the top priority.
After Mr. Fu finished speaking, he raised his feet and came to the bookshelf, reached out and picked up one of the inconspicuous vases on the side, only to see that there was a mechanism behind the vase, and the bookshelf in front of the machine turned into a door and opened.
Fu Rongxue, who was watching from the sidelines, was already dumbfounded, she had heard what was said in the book before, but when she saw it with her own eyes, it was another matter, and she only felt very shocked.
When he came back to his senses, he walked into the dark room behind Master Fu, and when he raised his eyes, he saw that the portraits of his mother were hanging on both sides of the wall, and then there were some rare things.
In the middle is a transparent cabinet, but it is empty, and I think this is the place where the atlas of the ship was originally placed.
"Does anyone else know about this dark room besides my father?" Fu Rongxue's eyes carefully looked at the cabinet to look for something suspicious.
Master Fu shook his head when he heard this, he has always been cautious, and this ship map is such an important thing, if it is not good, more than a hundred lives of the Fu family will have to be compensated, he is naturally careful and careful, so this dark room is only known to him from beginning to end.
Fu Rongxue saw Master Fu shaking his head, and his eyes slowly darkened, the number of people who knew about the work ship map in the hands of Master Fu was countable, but only Master Fu knew where it was hidden.
Suddenly, Fu Rongxue had an idea, she felt that there must be a mole in the mansion, that person must have been lying in the Fu Mansion for a long time, because he secretly monitored Master Fu all day long, he knew about this dark room, and then he picked the right time to do it.
"Father, I suspect that there is a spy in the house." Fu Rongxue looked at Master Fu with a solemn face and said in a deep voice.
Saying that, Fu Rongxue told the story of the man in black she met yesterday, and handed the dagger into the hands of Master Fu, but she didn't say a word about the appearance of Ye Huiming.
Master Fu looked at the dagger in his hand, and just at a glance he recognized that the source of the dagger was Gongzi Tao, who had just divorced, and Master Fu's face became very ugly.
In fact, he thought of going with Fu Rongxue, there must have been spies in the mansion who monitored him and saw the existence of the secret room, and then set fire to it last night.
Set fire to the house to attract the attention of everyone in the house, so as to find the right time to run to the study and steal the map of the ship while everyone went to fight the fire.
"What a son, I didn't expect that I would be calculated by a hairy boy when I was old." Master Fu exuded a murderous aura and said angrily.
Fu Rongxue, who was on the side, immediately shook her head when she saw this, she felt that the current Master Fu must have lost his wit because of anger.
"Father may not be Gongzitao, what happened yesterday may be a coincidence, or it may be a trap, no matter what, you can't tell anyone about it, we have to think about it in the long run." Fu Rongxue thought for a while and proposed.
Master Fu heard Fu Rongxue's words and thought about it before nodding in agreement, he was really dizzy just now, and the matter between them was not as simple as it seemed.
"So where do you think you should start?" At this moment, Master Fu was already a little impressed by Fu Rongxue after what had just happened, so he took the initiative to ask.
"In my opinion, we should start with the house, and first check if there are any people in the house who have not been seen from yesterday to today." Fu Rongxue thought about it, then looked up at Master Fu and said.
Seeing this, Master Fu also nodded approvingly, because the matter was urgent, he immediately asked the housekeeper to check as quickly as possible.
And Fu Rongxue and Master Fu turned their heads and took a deep look when they left the dark room, for some reason she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't say it.
After a while, the housekeeper found out that it was the maid Yu'er in the eldest lady's mansion, who suddenly disappeared from last night to tonight.
The housekeeper called Tong'er, the nearest maid who walked with Yu'er on weekdays, and as soon as Tong'er entered the house and saw Master Fu's black face, he immediately knelt on the ground in fright.
"If you go back to the master's words...... Tong'er didn't know anything, and after listening to the housekeeper's questioning, Tong'er only knew that Yu'er hadn't seen anyone since last night. Tong'er said tremblingly.
Fu Rongxue, who was sitting on the side, saw Tong'er and only felt that Tong'er's behavior was a little excessive, and she was also suspicious in her heart.
"Tong'er, don't be afraid, as long as you tell the truth about what you know, you'll be fine." Fu Rongxue tried her best to keep her tone soft.
Tong'er lowered his head and nodded slowly in response when he heard this.
"Where did you know Yu'er last went yesterday?"
"Yu'er finally went to the eldest lady."
Hearing Fu Rongxue's question, Tong'er's face changed, and then he answered, but there was a slight dodge in his eyes, as if he knew what he was hiding.
"What else does Tong'er know?" Fu Rongxue sensed that something was wrong and continued to ask.
It's just that Tong'er shook his head in a panic and refused to say any more, just said that he would let Fu Rongxue ask the eldest lady.
Hearing the name of the eldest lady from Tong'er's mouth, Fu Rongxue was slightly stunned, she didn't expect that this matter would involve the eldest lady, seeing the surprise on Master Fu's face, it was obvious that Master Fu didn't expect that this matter would be related to the eldest lady.
"Go and call the eldest lady." Master Fu suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a deep voice.
Tong'er couldn't help but tremble even more when she heard that Master Fu was going to call the eldest lady, Fu Rongxue observed Tong'er's fear and said: "Say whatever you know for a while, don't be afraid of the eldest lady, what is there for me." ”
Hearing Fu Rongxue's words, Tong'er didn't tremble so much, but after a while, she saw the eldest lady walk in with the housekeeper, and Tong'er began to tremble again.
Originally, the eldest lady who was angry this morning was staying in the house throwing things and losing her temper, but she didn't expect the housekeeper to suddenly come to the door and say that Master Fu had an invitation.
The eldest lady thought that Master Fu wanted to give in to herself, but when the eldest lady saw Master Fu's face and the solemn atmosphere in the room, she realized that something was wrong, and the smile on the corner of her mouth was immediately withdrawn.
"I don't know why the master came to me?" The eldest lady asked suspiciously.
"Where did Yu'er last go after she went to your house last night?" Old Man Fu asked in a deep voice with an expressionless face.
Hearing Yu'er's name from Master Fu's mouth, the eldest lady's face instantly became very ugly, and she wanted to deny it, but after turning her head and seeing Tong'er kneeling aside, the eldest lady immediately dispelled this idea.
