Chapter 295: Cui Mansion (2 more)
Cui Mansion.
A crisp sound of porcelain cracking sounded.
"Ahem, take it, take it, I don't drink this! Where's my medicine?! Give me medicine! Ahem, cough, cough, cough, ......" A thin man sat on the bed and got angry, and then coughed desperately uncontrollably.
A woman coaxed softly: "Xuan'er, don't worry, someone has been sent to find the medicine......
You are obedient, drink a little bit of this medicine first, and you can feel a little better......"
At the woman's signal, the maid brought a new bowl of brown medicinal soup, apparently anticipating that it would be broken, and had prepared several bowls.
"It's useless! It's useless, I just need that medicine!
Ahem, why? Why hasn't it been found for so long?
What are you all doing?!
Kill, kill them all......" The man's face was crazy, and his sunken eye sockets looked a little scary.
The maid standing on the side accidentally met his gaze and couldn't help but take a small step back.
Jiang Yao and Jiang Yu, who were squatting outside the window, glanced at each other, and their faces were not very good.
I always felt that the medicine he said was related to those children......
Jiang Yu pointed to the camellia forest in the distance, Jiang Yao understood, and teleported over with her.
The two squatted in the camellia forest and talked......
"Sister, the medicine he said shouldn't be related to those children, right?"
Jiang Yao nodded, "Most likely." ”
"Then the said, I'm already looking for ......" Jiang Yu's face changed.
The butcher said that he only caught three people each time, and now they have saved everyone, so what does Mrs. Cui mean that there are other children?
Jiang Yao obviously thought of this as well, "Without further ado, you can check the Cui Mansion and see if there are any secret rooms or anything like that......"
As she spoke, Jiang Yao paused, "What if something happened to those children in the past...... There will also be bones, you keep an eye out for them. ”
“…… Good. ”
As he spoke, Jiang Yu had already let go of his senses and spread throughout the Cui Mansion.
But in the huge Cui Mansion, there is not even a child's movement.
You must know that there are many slaves in the entire Cui Mansion alone, but there are no children in the family......
This made Jiang Yu more and more worried, how many children were victimized?!
While Jiang Yu was exploring, Jiang Yao was looking at the camellia forest they were in......
It's winter.
Although the weather in Anzhou is warm, this large camellia forest seems to bloom a little early, right?
She remembered that the camellia at home used to be a small bud during the New Year......
Jiang Yao's intuition was a little wrong, and he took advantage of the faint light from a distance to look around.
At this time, Jiang Yu withdrew his senses, shook his head slightly, and said, "There is not a single child in the entire mansion." ”
"It's barely a good thing at this time, at least it means that they haven't caught the right child yet."
The butcher said that they only needed children under the age of ten, and in order not to cause a huge sensation and let people find out about Cui's head, they only attacked the poor people or beggars every time.
So every time Cui Fu gives porridge, it is the time when the butcher is looking for a target.
It's just that now that the matter is urgent, Mrs. Cui can't guarantee that she won't panic......
Jiang Yao thought for a while, "Look at this camellia forest, if there is anything wrong." ”
Jiang Yu nodded, his eyes looking through the layer of soil under his feet......
"Ahh With just one glance, Jiang Yu was so frightened that she took two steps back, and Jiang Yao reacted extremely quickly to cover her mouth.
The patrol guards who passed by heard the movement and turned their heads to look.
A guard asked his companion in a trembling voice, "Did you hear anything?" ”
Another guard said, "I hear you...... It seems to be a ...... from the camellia forest."
The people who can stay in the young master's courtyard are all Mrs. Cui's henchmen, and naturally they all know what is in the camellia forest......
Several people glanced at each other, and suddenly felt a chill behind them.
"It won't be...... There's a ghost, right?! ”
"Me, let's go patrol somewhere else......"
Saying that, a few people almost fled.
As for whether someone broke in?
Are you kidding?
How tightly guarded the three outer layers of the young master's courtyard are!
Who is so capable of breaking in?
The two sisters, who had great skills, hid in the camellia forest, and only then relaxed when they saw the patrol leave.
Jiang Yu came back to his senses at this time.
Who knows what they stepped on?!
She just glanced at it, and what caught her eye was a lot of white bones buried under the soil, and she even saw the roots of the camellia intertwined with the white bones......
"Down there, the bodies of those children are buried?" Jiang Yao asked tentatively, but in fact, she basically had the answer in her heart......
Jiang Yu thought of the picture he saw just now, and couldn't help but have a trace of horror on his face, "I'm not sure if it's those children...... However, I saw a lot of white bones......"
Looking at Jiang Yu's fear, Jiang Yao was a little distressed, but ......
"You take another look, make sure, try to look a little more carefully."
Jiang Yu wanted to cry without tears, "......" Are you the devil?
"It's okay, don't be afraid, I'll hold you."
Feeling Jiang Yao's warm embrace, Jiang Yu felt better, took a deep breath, and after adjusting his mentality, Jiang Yu looked at the ground with a dead face......
This time, Jiang Yu finally saw it clearly.
"Bai Gu is not tall, it should be a child......
Many, at least dozens, from this one to the wall......
We just stood in the most places.
Three more are not completely decomposed...... Looks like a ...... that has been planted one after another."
Listening to Jiang Yu's words, Jiang Yao glanced at the red camellia blooming on the camellia tree, and only felt that his eyes were full of blood.
Jiang Yao retracted her gaze, looked at Jiang Yu's uncomfortable appearance, and left the courtyard with her.
"You rest for a while......"
Jiang Yu shook his head, his face pale, "I'm much better, what do you say." ”
After hesitating for a moment, Jiang Yao nodded, and said with a straight face: "You said that there are three bodies that were buried one after another, right?" ”
After receiving Jiang Yu's affirmative answer, Jiang Yao continued: "According to what the butcher said, he caught three people at a time, and the last time was the Double Ninth Festival......
The fact that the bodies were buried one after the other shows that these children may have lived for a long time after they were captured......"
Jiang Yu bowed his head and said, "That's right, there is one that looks like it should have just begun to rot." ”
Hearing this, Jiang Yao strengthened her guess, "Then there must be a place in the mansion to detain them, and it is likely to be in the courtyard just now."
So before I carry out my plan, I need you to find that place and keep an eye on the situation in that yard so that no more children will be poisoned. ”
Her plan was to not expose their existence as much as possible, and to make the Cui Mansion public, so she would have to wait until dawn.
Although the previous children obviously did not die as soon as they entered the mansion, but now the situation has changed, and in this process, it is difficult to ensure that Mrs. Cui or Young Master Cui are out of control and kill the killer, so you still have to be careful.
