Chapter Seventy-Three: Take the initiative to let go

It can be said that there is no clue on the body of the captain that can help Mu Jingzhu clear his suspicion.

There is only one thing that makes Qu Youying feel strange, and that is the dagger used by the murderer.

Ordinary murderers, in order not to be found, will definitely choose very ordinary, or inconspicuous things as murder weapons.

But the other party used such a characteristic dagger, and deliberately kept it.

What is the reason for this?

Qu Youying vaguely felt that the dagger might be telling.

So she stepped forward, walked to Thirteen Chuan's side, and said, "Can you show me the murder weapon?" ”

Shisanchuan did not refuse, so he asked someone to bring the murder weapon.

"It's true."

Xie Xiaoer came to Qu Youying's side and said that he had seen the murder weapon from a distance, and he was sure that what Thirteen Chuan took out was not a fake.

Qu Youying didn't answer, she picked up the dagger, and felt that this dagger didn't look small, but it was extremely light, and she almost didn't feel any weight when she held it in the palm of her hand.

But its material looks like an ordinary material.

"How can it be so light?"

She cocked the dagger up, flicked her fingers across the surface, and found that it was ...... Empty?

"Why is the dagger empty?"

Moreover, there seems to have been something at the junction between the blade and the handle of this dagger.

From a distance, it doesn't make people feel that something has been stripped there, but that the dagger design is very distinctive.

"Empty?" Xie Xiaoer didn't believe it, stretched out his hand to take it, and suddenly felt incredible, "Can such a dagger kill people?" ”

The dagger is very light, hollow inside, and even if it is sharp, it is impossible to kill a person in one hit.

But at that time, Mu Jingzhu was indeed holding this dagger in his hand, and the size of the dagger just matched the wound, so it couldn't be wrong.

"As long as you are a master, no matter what kind of thing, it can become a sharp weapon for killing."

"Miss Qu is right." Thirteen Chuan took the dagger from Xie Xiao's second-hand and asked him to put it back, "So Mu Jingzhu can't clear the suspicion." ”

Qu Youying clenched her hands and looked firm, "I will definitely find evidence to clear his suspicion!" ”

Thirteen Chuan suddenly smiled again, and he took a step sideways to the side, "Then do you want to let you meet him?" ”

Qu Youying wanted to walk out arrogantly, but who knew that his sudden words made her take a step that stopped instantly.

"You're going to let me see him?"

Qu Youying felt that it was very problematic, because Thirteen Chuan had completely vetoed her access to this case before, and even didn't let her perform an autopsy.

How could she be so kind to let her go to see Mu Jingzhu at this moment?

So she didn't answer immediately, but Xie Xiaoer didn't expect this, so she immediately said, "Okay." ”

The corners of Thirteen Chuan's lips were lightly raised, and tonight alone, he laughed three times in a row, this kind of thing was as suspicious as his behavior.

"Wait!"

Seeing that Thirteen Chuan wanted someone to take them forward, Qu Youying stopped them.

Thirteen Chuan turned around, "You don't want to?" ”

"I-"

Qu Youying was just about to speak, but was interrupted by Xie Xiaoer, he grabbed her arm and said to Thirteen Chuan, "She's just a little nervous, you can just order someone to lead the way." ”

Then he didn't care about Qu Youying's expression, grabbed the person and followed the guards to the prison where Mu Jingzhu was held.

Along the way, Thirteen Rivers did not follow, only a few guards led the way.

Qu Youying looked back and forth, then poked Xie Xiaoer with her elbow, and said unhappily, "Why did you agree?" He suddenly asked us to see Jing Candle, there must have been a fraud. ”

"But that's the only chance, isn't it?" Although Xie Xiaoer is not used to being serious on weekdays, when he gets serious, he is still very responsible, he looked at the people around him and no one approached, lowered his head, and whispered in Qu Youying's ear, "Actually, when Jing Candle was taken away, tell me that I must take you to meet him." ”

"Why?"

"I don't know, it seems like there's something I have to tell you." After he finished speaking, he straightened his waist and continued to walk forward, "Anyway, this is an opportunity, no matter what purpose Thirteen Chuan asks you to go to see Jing Candle, you must go." ”

Qu Youying didn't say anything more, she looked at the darkness in front of her, and walked into the prison where the prisoners were held step by step.

Therefore, the second lieutenant traveled and brought a lot of soldiers, and now things are sudden, these people are under the direct jurisdiction of the Thirteen Rivers.

He ordered the whole town to be blocked, and even the prison of the yamen was guarded by his people.

It can be said that all Qu Youying's actions will be under his surveillance.

"Here we are."

The guards led them to the cell and unlocked the locks, and Qu Youying walked in first.

Mu Jingzhu inside was sitting on the wooden bed, exercising pranayama, and smiled slightly when he saw her coming.

"You're here."

"Wood Candle!"

Qu Youying gritted her teeth and shouted his name, rushed towards him, and fell straight into his arms, holding his body tightly with both hands, with great strength.

Mu Jingzhu sat and let her hug her, the breath on her body lingered on the tip of his nose, and her slight trembling and silent fear also seeped into his heart little by little.

He looked down at her, then opened his hand and took her in his arms, patting her head as usual, with intimate movements.

"What's wrong?"

"What's wrong? Mu Jingzhu, you dare to ask me what's wrong! ”

Qu Youying raised her head and met his calm eyes, and suddenly became angry.

She lowered her head on his shoulder, took a bite, and with great force, bit until she tasted his blood in her mouth, and she did not let go.

It's like I can't wait to bite that piece of meat off before I am willing.

The pain passed down little by little, but Mu Jingzhu never said a word, and his big hands held her as always.

"My flesh is stronger, if your teeth hurt, try to change the knife."

is such a joke, on weekdays, Qu Youying must take a knife and try it well.

But today, when she heard this, she held back her tears for a long time, like a river that broke its embankment, and could no longer control its flow down.

"Why are you crying?" Mu Jingzhu turned her around with both hands, turning her into lying sideways in his arms, she reached out to wipe her tears, and did not forget to pinch her nose, laughing and quipping, "What a child." ”

"Mu Jingzhu, you're a bastard, big bastard! You can still laugh when something so big happens! ”

Qu Youying wanted to scold him very much, but there were so many scolding words on weekdays, and she couldn't say anything at this moment, back and forth, just one or two sentences.

They were all drowned in tears.

She cried, cried very presumptuously, cried very sadly.

Mu Jingzhu watched her cry, as if all those tears flowed into his heart, where more and more were accumulated.

"What would you do if I cried?"

The whispered words are like the whispers of lovers, falling on the ears, penetrating the eardrums, and penetrating into the deepest part of the heart.

There he went into the earth and took root.

Yes, Mu Jingzhu has been the roof above her head since she was a child, sheltering her from the wind and rain.

What would she do if the roof collapsed one day?

Seeing that she was gradually quieting down, Mu Jingzhu lowered his head and kissed her eyebrows, and said with a smile, "This is good." Crying is the same as the big flower cat, it's really ugly to death. ”

"It's ugly that you're still kissing me?"

"You shamelessly kissed me twice, and I just got some interest back."

Qu Youying stiffened, inexplicably remembering the two intimate contacts, and immediately her cheeks began to burn.

She got up from Mu Jingzhu's arms uncomfortably, sat beside him in a proper manner, looked down at her hands, and looked very well-behaved.

The wooden candle that looked at it wanted to laugh more and more.

He pinched her cheek, "So well-behaved? ”

"If you're not good, you'll definitely torture me in a different way."

Comparing his kiss to torture, Mu Jingzhu's eyes narrowed, his big hand grabbed her chin, turned her head, and faced himself.

"Torture?"

The two words, like the moment when the teeth crushed the twist, made a crisp sound, which made Qu Youying's heart jump and immediately deny it.

"No, it's to love me. Hehe, where is the torture, it is clearly love, you heard it wrong, you heard it wrong. ”

joke, although Mu Jingzhu has become a prisoner at this moment, he still has the ability to pinch her to death.

She didn't want to be in a cell and be bullied by him.

"Ahem." Xie Xiaoer, who was outside the prison door, couldn't stand the flirting and scolding of the two, so he could only remind him with a coughing voice, "There is not much time, let's get down to business." ”

After being reminded by him, Qu Youying reacted.

She took Mu Jingzhu's hand and was about to speak, but who knew that Mu Jingzhu took the lead.

"When I went to the lieutenant's room, he was already dead, and there was no one in the room."

"Then why are you pulling out your sword? Otherwise, with your efforts, it will be easy to get out before they break in. ”

"I can't go."

Mu Jingzhu shook his head with a smile, Qu Youying didn't understand, "Why can't you go?" ”

Mu Jingzhu glanced at the outside of the cell, although Xie Xiaoer was the only one standing there, it could not be ruled out that someone was eavesdropping in the places where he couldn't see the surroundings.

So he didn't speak, but gave Qu Youying something.

Through the dim candle flame in the cell, Qu Youying only saw a red bead, the color of which made her feel inexplicably familiar.

"There must be something strange about the death of the captain. The other party blames me, and he definitely doesn't want me to touch this case again, so you need to be very careful. ”

When he said this, his fingers were not busy, and he wrote a few words in Qu Youying's palm.

Qu Youying is dual-minded, and when she sees the words he writes clearly, she knows that this incident is not just an accident.

"Then why did you go to the captain late at night?"

This is something that Qu Youying can't understand, with Mu Jingzhu's temperament, he shouldn't have appeared in Taiwei's room late at night.

"Someone led me there." Mu Jingzhu explained, "Yesterday, Taiwei was seen boiling bones in the abandoned mansion, which was a little different from our expectations, so I was a little concerned and wanted to see what was going on, who knew that this kind of thing would happen." ”

Qu Youying listened to his words, but remembered the conversation between Su Tong and her that day.

But she didn't tell Mu Jingzhu, but said, "No matter what, I will definitely find the murderer and give you a clear name." ”

She knew that she had to do it, otherwise Mu Jingzhu would really die in order to protect Xiangling Town.

She didn't want him to leave, so when there was a hole in the sheltered roof, she had to repair it herself.

She believes that there will always be a time when the house will be repaired, and she believes that the truth will be revealed to the world one day.

"Be careful in everything."
