It snowed in the middle of the night, and it was already covered in snow outside. When Xu Chu opened the door, the light of the rising sun refracted from the snow, making her squint uncomfortably for a while.

It's cool outside, but it's refreshing, as if the oppressive atmosphere of last night has dissipated with the snow.

She took a deep breath of the cool air before she looked into the distance. Although the sky has cleared, the mountains in the distance are still foggy, and Rao is shrouded in golden light, but he can't see clearly. The looming mist is like a murderer in the mountain villa who cannot be traced.

When Xiao Qinglang pushed open the window, he saw the scene of the man exhaling in the morning light, his face clear and clean. The depression in his heart gradually disappeared, and the sharpness of his eyebrows and eyes also softened for no reason, "Xiao Chu was still stable last night?" ”

Because of the slightly cool breath that made her clear, Xu Chu was now comfortable in her heart, "I really slept very well in the second half of the night." ”

As she spoke, she stepped out of the room. Almost at the same time that Xiao Qinglang invited her to come over and eat first, Hua Wuxian also popped out of the window, and then beckoned to Xiao Mingzhu.

Compared with Xiao Qinglang's jade crown and hair, the light and elegance of the Xuanyi brocade robe are noble and elegant, and the flowers are disease-free but continue the consistent gorgeous style. It's just that he probably also taboos the red paper tie people, so he has always loved the red shirt, and he wore a bright purple robe for the first time.

As soon as she and Xiao Mingzhu entered Xiao Qinglang's room, they saw Jin Fu bring two cooks and bring food boxes.

"Hey, how can you get this breakfast today?" Hua Wuxian opened the food box and took a look, couldn't help but squint at Jin Fu, and said with a cold snort, "What's the matter, you think we are strangers and fool us like this?" ”

"Childe is angry, this is really a last resort. The purchase of the villa is usually once every four days, and now because of the old man's birthday banquet, a lot of food is purchased, which can provide food and drink for so many people. But now that the mountain road is blocked, all the people in the villa have to eat, so we can only slightly reduce the ingredients of the nobles, so as not to run out of food in the villa before the mountain road is repaired. "Jin Fu can be regarded as an old Jianghu, and he has always been responsible for the food and accommodation of everyone in this villa, so he has already inquired about the background of Hua Wuxian and his party.

If you want to say that the seemingly noble Zhou Gongzi is just a rich boy, then the playboy in front of him is a big man. Although he has never dealt with this person, just looking at Song Derong Song's compliments and stammers to this person openly and secretly, he knows that he is either rich or noble, at least he is also a child of an official family.

As we all know, among the Beijing officials of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the prime minister of the head of the civil officials is a member of the Hua family. Therefore, this playboy has nothing to do with him.

When he thought about it, his attitude became even more attentive.

"Childe, don't worry, now all the meals in the villa are arranged by me personally, and your food boxes are only finer and more sufficient than others." As he spoke, he waved his hand to let the other cook behind him put down the food box in his hand, and then opened it himself, saying, "This white fungus bird's nest soup is the most nourishing, and the green vegetables and lean pork porridge are also made from the newly taken ingredients in the cellar......

Seeing that his attitude was quite respectful, and he had indeed prepared a lot, Hua Wuxian smiled with his eyebrows. He doesn't care about his own food, he has eaten all kinds of delicious delicacies, but after a long time, he doesn't care much about eating. But the people who put themselves at the top of their hearts can't be wronged.

Besides, don't say that his eyes are poor, he didn't see Xiao Qinglang's face that had just sunk.

As long as he thought of Hades' anger, he muttered in his heart, for fear that he would be implicated. You know, when it comes to poisonous tongue and black belly, he can't compare to that one at all.

This has probably become a habit, otherwise Hua Wuxian should have thought that Xiao Qinglang's temperament has always been introverted, and he rarely takes the opportunity to attack, let alone implicate the innocent.

A few people sat down, and Hua Wuxian took out the contents of the food box and put them away, and then watched Xiao Qinglang, and naturally took half a bird's nest from his hand and sent it to Xu Chu.

He opened his mouth, looked at his empty hand, and then looked at the crystal clear bird's nest in front of Xu Chu, and finally sighed silently. However, before he could pick up the next bowl of porridge with vegetables and lean meat, he saw the steaming bowl leave his sight again.

"I said you're too much, how can you ask for what I take?" Hua Wuxian glanced at Xiao Qinglang and said indignantly, "What a guy who forgets his friends." ”

Xu Chu's hand holding the spoon to scoop the porridge paused slightly, blinked at Xiao Qinglang, who was drinking the porridge lightly, and then looked at the bowl of meat porridge and half a bird's nest in front of him.

"Mingzhu, you have worked hard these days, eat more nourishing to nourish your body." As Xu Chu spoke, he poured the bird's nest in his hand back into the white porcelain bowl again, and then pushed it to Xiao Mingzhu.

This back-and-forth transfer made the heat of the meal dissipate a little.

Xiao Qinglang frowned slightly, glanced at Hua Wuxi, and silently sandwiched the refreshing vegetarian dishes into Xu Chu's plate. And Hua Wuxian was dumbfounded, annoyed, and complained in his heart: If you don't have a long brain, how can you forget that the king of Hades is the most short-sighted...... Especially the short ...... of protecting Xu Chu

However, it seems that Xu Chu is very protective of Mingzhu, so he looked at Xiao Mingzhu with hopeful eyes. In fact, hugging your daughter-in-law's thigh is not a shame, is it?

The porridge is cooked at just the right temperature, not thick or thin. The taste is not greasy due to the addition of minced meat, but is much more refreshing due to the simmering of vegetables that are rare in winter.

After a few people had breakfast, Xiao Qinglang took out the confession that Wei Guang had written and recorded last night.

When Xu Chu took it, he saw that in the small stack of papers, someone had already outlined a few replies with a vermilion pen.

She glanced at Xiao Qinglang, but her heart was extremely relaxed. There was no one to help her before, and these things could only be sorted out by her little by little, and the tiredness after bothering was really uncomfortable. But now, she can not only perform an autopsy by the means she wants to use openly, but also rely on someone with confidence, which has never felt before, but it is indeed very fresh.

According to Yinniang's words, she heard the sound of the door opening and closing twice. And according to what Su Niang said, the first time was when Jin Fu sent supper, and the second time was when she chased out and asked the cook to send hot water. Xu Chu looked dignified and frowned slightly, "And Jin Fu said that at that time, he asked the two cooks to go back to the kitchen to fetch hot water, and he accompanied the lady to wait for ......."

When Xiao Qinglang heard this, he chuckled and said, "Not only that, but the subordinates who were patrolling at that time also saw the two of them, so what they said was almost flawless on the surface. ”

On the side, Xiao Mingzhu also took the papers, and compared a few items, there were really witnesses other than the two of them. She wondered: "Since there is no doubt, how can the third uncle still mark it?" ”

Xu Chu smiled faintly and said meaningfully: "It's just that there is no doubt, which is the biggest doubt." ”

She is afraid of life, especially of getting along with men. Even if Jin Fu is more than 20 years older than her, he is still a man in the end, so according to the temperament of the mother, she should avoid it, how can she wait with him for the cook?

Even if she had to wait, she should have gone back to the room to be with Yinniang! What's more, she also revealed the biggest and most obvious flaw.

"You say, will Yu Niang have been frozen to death before Jin Fu sends supper?"

"How is this possible? Not to mention that there is a stove burning in the house, let's just say that if she is really dead, then Yin Niang and Yu Niang will see ghosts. Hua Wuxian rolled her eyes and interjected, "That Jade Niang is not stupid, even if she is a fool, if she wants to be frozen to death, she has to react, how can she bear it alive." ”

"There are no absolutes in the world." Xu Chu said this, so he took the codex and found the place where Xiao Qinglang was looking for the file that day. The last time I was questioned, the most suspicious person was also Su Niang......

"The first time Xie Niang died, Su Niang was not there for fear of life, but because someone proved that she had never left the room, it was also considered to clear the suspicion. It's just that she concealed the fact that she had seen Jin Manshan. This time, when it comes to begging for hot water, there is something strange about the performance. Xu Chu took a pen and paper and wrote down the doubts in his heart.

It's just that now she has a lot of things in her head, and she obviously seems to have a clue, but when she thinks about it, she feels that she can't grasp anything.

She was silent for a long time, staring at the paper in her hand thoughtfully, if it was really her mother, how did she do it? She subconsciously looked at the things in her hand, and when she saw the unfortunate words of Boss Yu and Boss Zhang, a thought flashed in her mind, which made her suddenly blurt out: "The murderer is not a person. ”

"Why?" Xiao Mingzhu obviously didn't follow her train of thought, and looked up at Xu Chu who was stretching his eyebrows in amazement and asked.

"Do you still remember Boss Yu's attitude and words after the water pavilion caught fire?"

"I remember that Boss Yu was so annoyed at that time that he almost strangled Jin Manshan to death......" Xiao Mingzhu said excitedly.

"Yes, the sentence he asked Jin Manshan showed that he didn't know anything about the haunting of the villa before. Boss Zhang, Boss Yu and Jin Manshan have a close relationship, but even the two of them have never heard of the haunting of Lotus Villa before, which shows that Jin Manshan concealed this matter very strictly. Except for these two, the rest of the female dependents and jugglers have never been to the villa before. Xu Chu retracted his thoughts and continued to explain, "So the idea that the murderer we speculated before was a foreigner from Zhuang, and that the murder would be counted as a ghost and god would not be valid. ”

"If the first murder was the case of one person, it could have been the work of one person. Then the second murder case is definitely not something that can be called by one person. ”
