Chapter Seventy-Four: Questioning Su Tong
Qu Youying and Xie Xiaoer had just left the cell, and someone went back to tell Thirteen Chuan.
"Are you sure Mu Jingzhu doesn't have too many defenses for this case?"
At this moment, Thirteen Chuan was lighting the oil lamp, he took off his official uniform and wore ordinary clothes.
Under the dimness of the oil lamp, there is a little less water chestnut and a little more popularity.
"Yes. But he also didn't stop them from investigating. ”
"That's the direction in which they have been instructed to investigate."
Thirteen Chuan suddenly smiled, he shone the lampshade on the outer layer of the oil lamp, walked to the side window, and said to the guard, "These days, if Qu Youying goes to visit Mu Jingzhu in the cell, remember to loosen the guard." ”
"Why is that?"
Thirteen Chuan's expression was uncertain, "For the sake of a good show." ”
The man didn't understand, but he didn't dare to ask more, so he went down.
Thirteen Chuan stood in front of the window with his hands in his hands, looking at the endless night, the smile on his lips gradually disappeared in the dark whirlpool, and little by little the most terrible black whirlwind from the underground.
"Jing Candle, Qu Youying, hehe."
Qu Youying, who was rushing back with Xie Xiaoer, suddenly shuddered.
She looked at Xie Fu with a chill down her spine, and always felt that at that moment just now, she had a bad feeling.
"What's wrong with you?"
"I always felt like someone was watching us in the dark."
"Staring at us?"
Xie Xiaoer's martial arts skills were better than hers, and his vigilance was also high, he looked around, and there was no one else on the street except them.
"No one!"
"Are you sure?"
"Sure."
Although she was affirmed by him, Qu Youying was still a little uneasy, she walked forward, looking preoccupied.
Xie Xiaoer thought that she was caring about Mu Jingzhu, so she took the initiative to comfort her.
"Don't worry, Jing Zhu will be fine. He didn't stop us from investigating, which means that there is a turning point in this matter, otherwise with his intention to protect you, you will definitely not touch it. ”
Qu Youying was not pretentiously sullen, but grabbed his arm and said, "Xie Xiaoer, you can send me home!" I always feel that someone is following me, and I am afraid of it. ”
Xie Xiaoer could feel that the strength in her hand was not small, so when she sent her home, she must have something to say to him, so he was very cooperative.
"Let's go, there is Young Master Ben, make sure you're okay."
The two of them said everything as usual, most of the time, it was Xie Xiaoer who was talking, Qu Youying listened, and when she was in a bad mood, she went up and punched a few times.
Xie Xiaoer couldn't fight back, scolded or scolded, and didn't leave until he sent people to Qufu.
Qu Youying returned to her courtyard, Yun Shu and Xiaoshu had not rested yet, and when they saw her coming back, they greeted her one after another.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Yun Shu helped the person back to the room, and then poured her a cup of tea.
Qu Youying held the water cup in her hand, and the warmth of the tea passed through the palm of her hand and slowly passed into her body, making the tension in her whole body and the coldness in her heart slowly dissipate.
"I'm fine. The lieutenant was killed by one blow and left no doubts, so this matter is not very optimistic. ”
"What then?" Yun Shu was anxious, "Young Master Jing Zhu will not kill. He must have been wronged. ”
"So we need to find the murderer." Qu Youying turned her head to Xiaoshu and said, "You go to inform Su Tong tomorrow, and ask him to come to me when the time comes." ”
"Yes."
Xiaoshu turned to leave, Qu Youying rubbed the corners of her forehead tiredly, Yun Shu saw this, stepped forward and put down the teacup in her hand, and whispered, "Miss, you are tired, the slave maid is waiting for you to rest, right?" ”
"Okay."
At midnight, Qu Youying was lying on the bed, in a daze, as if she saw Mu Jingzhu being pushed onto the guillotine, to pay for the death of the captain.
When the blood-stained head rolled to her feet, she saw the despair in those eyes, and the pale lips said clearly, "I'm not a murderer." ”
"No, don't!"
She sat up from the bed screaming, her forehead covered with cold sweat, and it wasn't until Yun Shu heard the movement and came in with an oil lamp that she realized that she had a dream.
But the pain in the dream, the desperate mood, is extremely clear.
Like a mark on fire, lingering.
She grabbed Yun Shu's shirt and cried lowly, "Yun Shu, you also believe that Jing Zhu is not a murderer, right?" He is not a murderer, and I will definitely find the murderer and help him clear his name. ”
Yun Shu has served her since she was a child, she hasn't seen her like this for many years, she is anxious, but there is no way.
"Miss, you will definitely find the murderer, just like every time Master Jing Zhu protects you, this time, if you protect him, you will definitely be able to. Young Master Jing Zhu is also blessed with a great life, and he will be fine. ”
"yes, he's always had better luck than me, and he'll be fine."
Qu Youying wiped away her tears, stared at the faint yellow candle flame, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "What about the clothes I took off today?" ”
"On the screen."
"Bring it."
Yun Shu didn't know why, so he took his coat over.
Qu Youying took the clothes and searched for a long time, and then found a red bead.
"This bead?" Yun Shu looked at it suspiciously, "How do you feel a little similar to the one you got when your wife passed away?" ”
"Because it's the same kind." Qu Youying took the beads and approached the oil lamp and said, "You go down first!" ”
"Yes."
After Yun Shu left, Qu Youying sat down on the edge of the oil lamp, carefully staring at the red beads in her palm.
The red bead is small and beautiful, and it is exactly the same as what appeared in Zhang's shop and what she left behind when her mother died.
"What appeared on Wang's corpse was 'Resentment Society', and the mother's one was written 'Death', so this one?"
She placed the red beads in front of the candle flame, and with the rotation of her fingers, the words inside were slowly printed under the candle flame.
"Raw?"
Qu Youying was a little surprised, and Mu Jingzhu told her that this bead was left on the dagger, and to remove the bead, she had to pull out the dagger.
But the dagger is the murder weapon that stabbed the captain to death, and the captain should be dead when he died, how could it be life?
Holding the red beads between her fingers, she gradually fell into deep thought.
"Whether it is resentment, life and death, it is the seven sufferings of Buddhism, is it that all these things have something to do with the seven sufferings of Buddhism? What are the seven sufferings of Buddhism? ”
If it weren't for that, the man in black wouldn't have come to snatch those two beads.
"It seems that we have to go and find out about the seven sufferings of the Buddhist family."
But the first step is to hide the bead.
Qu Youying got up from the bed and began to look for a place to hide things all over the house, and it took a long time to find a good place to hide the beads.
She clapped her hands, rubbed her sore neck, and when she turned around, she almost hit a wall of flesh.
"Who?"
She quickly retreated, vigilant, and then realized that the person who appeared in her room quietly was Su Tong.
"You? Why did you come to my room? ”
Qu Youying didn't know when he appeared, let alone if he saw the beads she was hiding, so she was extra careful not to let her get close to her back.
Su Tong clasped his hands, sat down on the chair behind him, elegantly cocked Erlang's legs, and said with a smile, "Mu Jingzhu is regarded as a murderer, you will definitely come to me." Anyway, the night is long and I don't want to sleep, so I might as well come and talk to you. ”
Qu Youying pretended to yawn, "You have no intention of sleeping, I'm sleepy to death, I'll talk about it tomorrow." ”
"Tomorrow?" Su Tong raised his eyebrows lightly and said with a smile, "So you're not worried about Mu Jingzhu's life and death?" Do you know some secrets? Can you tell me? ”
"Do you have any reason to question me?" Speaking of this, Qu Youying became angry, "If you hadn't done more than this in the matter of Tai Lieutenant, and what Zhu Yu technique was used to control Tai Wei, Jing Zhu would not have doubted it, let alone fall into the enemy's trap and be arrested as a murderer!" ”
"Then I can only blame him for being suspicious and hurting himself, but I am very innocent."
Qu Youying glared at him fiercely, and said in an unkind tone, "You are innocent, you shouldn't lie to me!" ”
"Why did I lie to you? You were chased and killed by Thirteen Rivers that night, didn't I take you to the casino to escape, you see that he saw you today, didn't he have any interest in you at all? ”
Su Tong's face was full of grievances, and he also expressed his accusation against Qu Youying's words.
Qu Youying looked at him like that, and she was angry.
"How dare you say you really mean that night? Instead of letting me wash off your disguised face! ”
"You gave me the potion, I want to wash it off, I can do it myself, I don't need you to do it!"
Su Tong still denied it, Qu Youying squinted, and unceremoniously exposed everything.
"If you wash it off yourself, you will definitely come to me and ask for a painting, after all, the identity of 'Mujing Candle' cannot disappear now. This is one of them. ”
She raised two fingers as she spoke, staring at Su Yun's face without blinking.
"Second, you know that the real Mu Jing Candle came back, but I hid it and asked Xie Xiaoer to spread rumors, so you don't do it endlessly, it seems that you are using Zhu Youshu to help us, but in fact, you want to use this realistic Mu Jing Candle to appear."
She took a deep breath and held up her third finger.
"Third, you are already hiding from the Captain, as long as he is dead, you don't have to hide anymore. But for the death of Taiwei, there must be a person who becomes a murderer, and this person must not have a simple background, and he will refuse to defend himself because of some things. So you're taking advantage of the candles. ”
After Qu Youying finished speaking, Su Tong did not refute, but looked at her with a smile the whole time, the darkness under her eyes was illuminated by the candle flame, and Yingying flickered.
"I guessed it, so I didn't even have a word to refute it?"
"Right...... Not right either. ”
Su Tong escaped from the coquettish fan in his arms, opened it suddenly, and fanned it on his chest.
"Isn't that right?" Qu Youying grimaced and said, "What's wrong." ”
"None of them are right." Su Tong smiled and said, "If you want me to confess, you should also tell the beads on the dagger." ”
Qu Youying's heart chuckled, "You know? ”
"How could you not know?" Su Tong raised his eyebrows and said, "I was there when the murderer left that dagger." ”
"Sure enough!"
Qu Youying took a few steps forward, approached him, grabbed him by the placket of his clothes, bent down, and met his eyes.
"You know who the killer is, don't you? Tell me, tell me! ”
Qu Youying knew that the three points she said by herself were actually a bit far-fetched strictly speaking.
She did this just to force Su Tong to tell the truth.
He came here at this time, and it was certainly not as simple as he said.
Now that he finally opened his mouth, how could she give up such a good opportunity?
