Chapter 72: Investigation

Gu Yanbai looked at Mingyuexi, pondered for a moment and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

Mingyuexi followed Gu Yanbai out of the courtyard and came to Xiaoyaohou's bedroom. Gu Yanbai ordered the waiting maid to go down, and the maid left and took the door with him.

Xiaoyao Hou heard the voice, opened his eyes and looked at the comer, and saw that Gu Yanbai was followed by a playful girl, and said in surprise: "...... is this?" ”

"Dad, this is my friend, Mingyuexi." Gu Yanbai introduced, and turned to Mingyuexi: "This is my father." ”

Mingyuexi wanted to laugh inexplicably, she remembered that in the 21st century, this was also the scene when boyfriends and girlfriends met each other's parents, and hurriedly shouted hello uncle.

Xiaoyaohou coughed weakly, looked at Gu Yanbai and said, "Since it's your friend, I won't say much, Yanbai, you must remember what I told you."

Gu Yanbai glanced at Mingyuexi, and said to Gu Yanbai very respectfully: "Yes, Dad, your words will not be forgotten in this life." It's just that what you said to me can also be said to Miss Ming, maybe she can help us. ”

Gu Yanbai swore and looked at Xiaoyaohou, Xiaoyaohou saw that his eyes were firm and serious, and he didn't think much about it, since he was a person his son trusted, it didn't hurt to believe it, and after coughing a few times, he said: "My illness is strange, I always feel unclear, I don't want to die like this, so I hope someone can find out the truth." ”

After speaking, Gu Yanbai secretly poked Mingyuexi and signaled that she could appear, Mingyuexi reacted and hurriedly said, "Ah, yes, Gu Yanbai also said this to me." ”

Gu Yanbai: "......"

The atmosphere quieted down for a moment, and Mingyuexi realized that she had said the wrong thing, and hurriedly covered her mouth and said, "Ah, I didn't mean that, I meant ...... Gu Yanbai also told me about his uncle's condition, saying that it was indeed strange, so he invited me to help investigate. ”

As soon as the words fell, he only heard a small thud outside the door, Gu Yanbai was not shallow in martial arts, and immediately found that someone was eavesdropping on the corner of the wall, and he didn't have time to tell anyone and rushed out directly, and the two doors were kicked open by him, only to find that the person had already disappeared completely.

Seeing this, Mingyuexi also chased out: "What's wrong?" ”

"Someone."

"Who?" Mingyuexi looked confused, isn't it normal for someone to have someone in the Xiaoyao Hou Mansion? Gu Yanbai saw her stupid face, knowing that she didn't have any martial arts, and when she was in danger, she knew how to summon the Eight Directions Immortals, and he said, "Someone heard our conversation just now, but I don't know who it is." ”

"Huh?" Mingyuexi looked confused, would anyone even eavesdrop on this kind of topic? She said, "This kind of topic? Someone eavesdropped on ......? ”

Gu Yanbai lowered his eyebrows and thought for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Mingyuexi, and said seriously: "Since my father's poison was placed by someone, then the person who paid the most attention to this matter must be the same person, which means that the person just now is likely to have nothing to do with the poisoning." ”

Seeing that Mingyuexi no longer spoke, Gu Yanbai took her to say goodbye to Xiaoyaohou and went to the main hall, and called the housekeeper to ask if anyone had approached Xiaoyaohou's bedroom today. But there are so many people in the entire Xiaoyao Hou Mansion, and there are countless people who come and go every day, even if they have been instructed not to enter the bedroom of the Xiaoyao Hou, it is still inevitable that the working subordinates will come and go.

So to no avail, the matter could only be stopped, Gu Yanbai just asked the housekeeper to pay more attention and didn't say anything more.

Seeing the housekeeper go out, Mingyuexi asked, "Then what do you want to do next?" ”

"Check." Gu Yanbai said sonorously: "I will definitely find out this matter, but I may still need your help, and I have also conveyed everything Zhu Bajie said to you." ”

Someone would poison Xiaoyaohou, this matter is indeed sloppy, Mingyuexi actually doesn't know what she can help in this matter, she can only wait for other people's orders, let her do whatever she wants. So she didn't say anything about it.

Not long after, Gu Yanbai's personal attendant Xiao Yuan came to his courtyard with a sword, and it happened that Mingyuexi was also there, he glanced at her, as if there was something unspeakable to hide from her, because she was not easy to say.

Gu Yanbai took a sip of tea and explained: "She is not an outsider, you can say anything you want." ”

Xiao Yuan was affirmed, and first saluted very respectfully, and then said, "Little Marquis, there are already clues about the matter you asked me to investigate." ”

Gu Yanbai glanced at him and motioned for him to continue, Xiao Yuan then said: "The group of people you killed have a mark like a bamboo leaf on their necks, according to me, the identities of these people should be Deadpool, and some families will use special signs to show their identities when cultivating Deadpool, but now which family's Deadpool is still not found out for the time being." ”

"Because there are many families and there are a lot of Deadpools, it may take some effort to find out the family with the Hu Zhu Ye mark." Xiao Yuan explained one by one, Gu Yanbai played with the cup extremely rhythmically, as if he was thinking about something, and he didn't say a word.

Mingyuexi spoke at this time, "The people of this family, will they have something to do with the people who poisoned Xiaoyaohou." Xiao Yuan felt that what she said made sense, but he didn't speak, he put his identity very seriously, and he still needed to wait for Gu Yanbai to speak.

Gu Yanbai put the cup down and said: "I think it's unlikely, if it's someone from the same family, knowing that we are going home, and poisoning my father, this one by one is more likely to expose his identity, and it is easy to arouse people's suspicions." ”

"So I think it's unlikely, because it's too conspicuous."

What he said was also very reasonable, Xiao Yuan nodded and asked, "Then what do you need to do next, is there anything you need me to do?"

"Keep an eye on it, there are spies in the house now, don't worry about the bamboo leaf sign anymore, I will check it out with Mingyuexi, you just need to keep an eye on the mansion recently, don't let people with intentions take advantage of it, you know?" Seeing Xiao Yuan nodding to accept the order, Gu Yanbai said again: "You go and prepare some coils and tools, I want to go out with Mingyuexi, remember, this matter can't be done in secret." ”

Xiao Yuan was ordered to go out, Mingyuexi was puzzled, and asked, "What are we going out for, didn't you ask me to find out about your father's poisoning?" ”

Gu Yanbai glanced at her, and had to say that this woman was really stupid to death sometimes, didn't he just say that they were going out together to investigate the bamboo leaf mark?

"Go on a date." Gu Yanbai said this, and threw out this sentence without a head, which made Mingyuexi, who was already very confused, blush, "What nonsense are you talking about!" Who's dating you? ”

In fact, there is still a little bit of longing in my heart......
