Chapter 248: A Bowl of Meat
Chu Yuqin stood at the door of the kitchen and did not go in.
Zhu Qian was standing in the distance, but when he saw her not moving there, he sensed that something was wrong.
He walked over and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
Chu Yuqin pointed to the bowl of meat on the stove.
"When was it there?"
Zhu Qian's expression was solemn: "I didn't notice the figure. ”
Chu Yuqin walked into the kitchen.
There is only one door in the kitchen. But there was a big hole in the place where the firewood was placed, enough for a diminutive man to get in.
"What happened?" Chu Guangsong heard the conversation between Chu Yuqin and Zhu Qian, so he came in to check the situation.
"Grandpa, there's another bowl of meat on the stove." Chu Yuqin said: "Look, it's still braised red." ”
Chu Guangsong covered his mouth and ran out to retch.
Chu Kangze and the Jin family rushed over when they heard the news. Seeing the bowl of meat, the two also ran out.
"Who did it? Did you see anyone coming in just now? Jin broke down and shouted.
"Nope. We stood in the courtyard and didn't see anyone coming in. It was my second butler who smelled the smell of meat, so he came over to see the situation. ”
"There's a hole in the firewood pile. If you're a short person or a very thin person, you can drill in and out here. Zhu Qian said.
"I'll go out for a walk." Zhu Qian said and walked out.
Chu Yuqin knew that he wanted to look around for clues. After all, the man sent the meat, and it is impossible to appear and disappear out of thin air, and there will always be clues left.
The people in the village found that the person who killed Chu Zining was so cruel that they didn't dare to run to the old mansion anymore, for fear of harming the innocent.
Now there are only their family members in the old mansion.
Zhu Han came back with the results of the investigation.
"Those on today's list are innocent. Although they had a holiday with Chu Zining, they had not yet reached the point of killing him. Each of them had testimonies, so we had to look in a different direction. ”
"After you left, the man reappeared. He placed a bowl of braised pork on the stove. I've seen it, it's indeed Chu Zining's meat, it's all stinky. ”
Chu Yuqin stood in the courtyard and talked to Zhu Han.
"The current situation is that it is not possible to bury Chu Zining. The same man dug up his body. Unless a fire burns him and lets him be cremated. But no one wants to! He had died unjustly, and if he was cremated again, wouldn't it be even more blind? Zhu Han looked at her.
"Hmm. Whatever the reason, this person has to be found. He had lost his mind. We don't know how Chu Zining offended him. If he killed Chu Zining enough, and wanted to find someone else to take revenge, then my father and mother would also be in danger. After all, no one knows what's going on in the mind of a madman. ”
"Do you want to let the lady and the lord avoid the limelight first? Until the murderer is found, they will stay in our house and not come out. ”
"If my dad and mother were willing, would I have such a headache? They're stubborn! Alright, it's too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow! Maybe there's a clue tomorrow? Chu Yuqin said, "I'll go back to the room first." ”
"Wait a minute......" Zhu Han pulled her. What do you mean by going back to the room...... Refers to Chu Xiaocui's room? Aren't you going back to our house? ”
"Let's stay tonight! If that person shows up, more than one person can help. Chu Yuqin said: "If I don't live here, my father and mother will live." With great difficulty, I managed to persuade them to go back and replace them with myself. Do not worry! I've left your brother here. ”
"Then I'll be here too." Zhu Han said: "You rest!" ”
"There is no extra room here. Your brother is still bunking in my room! Chu Yuqin was helpless.
"I'm also building a bunk."
"The room was small and messy ......"
"It's okay."
Chu Yuqin had no choice but to call Zhu Qian back and replace him with Zhu Han.
Zhu Qian touched Zhu Han's arm before leaving: "Brother, you won't ...... Jealous, right? ”
Zhu Han glanced at him: "If the eldest lady and I are not here, the safety of the house will be handed over to you." Especially the safety of the lady and the lord, do you know? ”
"Got it." Zhu Qian pouted. "Don't dare to answer my question, your heart is empty!"
Chu Kangze knocked on Chu Yuqin's door with a quilt.
Chu Yuqin opened the door, saw him, and asked, "Uncle, is there something wrong?" ”
"I've got you an extra quilt, it's new. Where are you used to such a small place? I've wronged you tonight. Chu Kangze said.
Chu Yuqin took it and thanked him lightly: "Thank you, uncle." ”
After Chu Kangze left, Zhu Han said: "Chu Kangze is inquiring about the business situation of the Thousand Faces Pavilion in the dark. He also offered to buy skin care products from Senmian Pavilion to sell. ”
"I knew he had a purpose. It's just that he didn't tear his face, and I won't give him no face. He wanted to mix in our family's business, which was impossible. Even my father and mother couldn't say yes. ”
Walked back with the quilt and spread it on Zhu Han's body.
"But thank him for his thoughtfulness tonight, and make an extra bed to make it softer."
The first half of the night was fairly calm.
Even if a lonely man and a widow are in the same room, there is nothing uncomfortable about the two.
For Chu Yuqin, Zhu Han is more like a confidant who understands her.
For Zhu Han, he had long been accustomed to Chu Yuqin's breath. If you don't see her one day, you won't get used to it.
Bang knock!
The screeching sound woke the two from their sleep.
Zhu Han sat up first, and then made a silent gesture to Chu Yuqin.
"Don't move, I'll go out and have a look."
"Okay." Chu Yuqin also knew that he had no force value, unlike Zhu Han, who didn't need to make a sound when he walked. If she moves, it's easy to startle the snake.
After Zhu Han went out, Chu Yuqin held his breath and waited.
"Who's there?" Zhu Han drank vigorously.
Bang knock! Bang knock!
Chu Yuqin heard the sound of fighting, got out of bed barefoot, and ran out.
But when she arrived, Zhu Han was the only one left at the scene.
Zhu Han chased out.
"Still a practitioner?" Chu Yuqin was surprised. "However, how could Chu Zining provoke a practitioner? When he meets such a person, he must not die early? ”
Chu Guangsong and Chu Kangze and his wife dared to go out when they heard the noise outside disappearing.
"What's going on?" Jin asked tremblingly.
"I don't know. There was no one when I came out. Chu Yuqin said: "But this person actually runs so fast, which means that he has martial arts!" When did Uncle provoke someone who knows martial arts? ”
"We don't know. Where did Ning'er provoke the enemy? Fang said, "Let's move out, right?" Don't stay here anymore. ”
Chu Yuqin rolled his eyes.
If it's really an enemy who never dies, can you just move away?
In their case, the goal is so obvious. Unless you move to a place 108,000 miles away, you can still find it.
Zhu Han came back and asked, "How is it?" What was found? ”
