There is no moon tonight, the Milky Way flows westward, but the stars are shining, and the two sycamore trees in the white cold smoke courtyard stretch their branches out of the wall, as if to peek at the scenery outside the wall.

Bai Hanyan sat on the stone steps at the door with his knees crossed, his expression was a little dazed, and the events of the ancestral hall in the day were still vivid.

She just asked if Luan Ming's death was related to Cheng Wen, and she suspected that the bamboo crumbs in Luan Ming's mouth before his death were related to the bamboo tube in his teahouse, but it was just ...... She didn't expect Chengwen to answer so happily.

And he confessed all his crimes, including that he instructed Cheng'er to seduce Luan Ming with butterfly incense, and then drugged him in the tea, taking the opportunity to drown him, and then spent money to buy Chen Tingyu's corpse to abandon it, and then he didn't do anything and killed him.

All the details of the crime and the motive for the murder are reasonable.

Bai Hanyan wanted to ask him a few questions, but he didn't expect that Chengwen was also a fierce man, and before she could speak, he actually raised his head and laughed a few times, and died of a crash.

The crowd in the ancestral hall went from boiling to quiet, and from quiet to boiling, all of which were dusty.

Duan Changge ordered the soldiers to drag the body away, and as he left, he patted her on the shoulder with a fan and said, "This is all over, and the ten-day covenant is null and void." ”

Bai Hanyan looked at the blood stains on the ground and was stunned for a long time, a strange and uneasy feeling arose, and she faintly felt that this matter would not be so simple.

Although Cheng Wen pleaded guilty, the case is still full of doubts.

When she went to the Harrier Forest under Qiao Chu's guidance that day, who could the weird laughter she heard, is the man in black attracted by Li Chengdu in the Wutong Forest really Chengwen, and who attacked her in the bamboo forest?

The most important thing is where Chen Tingyu's legs are hidden by him?

Moreover, Luan Ming was wearing armor when he died, if he wanted to go to the Splendid Teahouse to see Cheng'er, it would be impossible not to change into ordinary robes, and what was even more incomprehensible was that if Chengwen really killed Luan Ming because of Luan Ming's investigation of the Splendid Teahouse, then it should be Luan Ming who died first, not the tea waiter.

and that Chen Tingyu, so he really buried the body for Chengwen, why didn't he wait for him to bury the body and kill him?

Bai Hanyan raised his eyes to look at the stars above the sky, his eyes were covered with a layer of clouds, and he let out a long sigh.

"The case has been solved, and your life has been saved, why are you still sullen."

A man's voice suddenly came from Bai Hanyan's ear, and his voice was low and deep in her ears, as if someone leaned over and whispered in her ear.

She turned her head suddenly, but saw Qiao Chu leaning on the branches of the plane tree in the courtyard, dressed in a cyan robe swaying with the night wind, holding a wine jug in his hand, looking at Bai Hanyan and staring at him, slightly lifting the wine jug and sitting in a posture of inviting wine, then took a big sip, his pale white lips curved, and he actually bent a satisfied smile.

"Qiao Chu."

Bai Hanyan stood up and looked at the people in the trees with some vigilance.

"It's me."

Qiao Chu jumped down from the plane tree, raised his sleeves and walked towards her, took out two glass cups from his arms and put them between his fingers, and reached out to hand her one.

Bai Hanyan didn't twist either, raised his palm to take it, Qiao Chu poured wine for her with a smile, and said casually: "Lord Han has something on your mind?" ”

Bai Hanyan sighed slightly, raised his head and drank his wine, and said: "I don't believe that this case will end like this, although the written text is related to this case, the real murderer must be someone else." She said this categorically, dropped the glass cup, and sat on the stone steps with the end of her robe.

"Since you have decided that Chengwen is not the murderer, have you ever thought about why Chengwen would take the blame for others."

Qiao Chu also bent over to sit beside her, with a shallow smile in his eyes, and his face was quite like a spring breeze.

Bai Hanyan was stunned, she really didn't think about this, Xiang Chengwen is such a ruthless person, even his brother can bear to kill, why is he willing to die in such humiliation, and he would rather die by hitting a pillar than bear the charge of murder for others, the truth is indeed intriguing.

"Is he under the control of others?" Bai Hanyan weighed for a moment and speculated: "Or, the black hand behind the teahouse is not him at all." ”

"It seems that you have someone who doubts in your heart?" Qiao Chu's eyebrows did not move, his slender and powerful fingers shook the glass cup, and smiled softly at her.

"There is indeed one person who is suspicious." Bai Hanyan's eyes narrowed slightly, looked down at Qiao Chu, and suddenly hooked his lips and said, "Brother Qiao, do you also have a suspicious candidate?" ”

Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and suggested, "Why don't you and I say the name of the person we suspect at the same time, and see if the two of us have a good heart?" ”

A smile appeared on Bai Hanyan's lips: "Okay." ”

Both of them spoke at the same time:

"Chen Siyu."

"Medic Bang'er."

Bai Hanyan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Why does Brother Qiao think that Bang'er will be a murderer." ”

Qiao Chu dropped the wine jug in his hand, curled up his fingers, gently knocked on the limestone steps, and said in a low voice: "I followed Chengwen a few days ago, he once went alone to a very remote soil recess in the east of the city, where there was a family, the fence was high, I had secretly investigated at night, there were people in the courtyard who were closely guarded, it turned out that a large piece of poppy flowers was planted in the backyard, and that night, I also discovered a secret. ”

"What's the secret?" Bai Hanyan's heart sank suddenly.

Qiao Chu's deep and unpredictable eyes were filled with brilliance: "I saw a masked woman who went to ask for medicine late at night. ”

"Masked woman, asking for medicine?" Bai Hanyan was slightly stunned, and his expression was slightly stunned: "Brother Qiao, what do you mean ......?" ”

Qiao Chu lowered his eyebrows and bowed: "Yes, that person is the military doctor Bang'er, in order to test her, I left the news of your distress in the teahouse at the door, and the poppy flower." ”

"You want to see how she reacts." Bai Hanyan's black eyes were deep: "But she still went to save me, and gave me the poppy." ”

Qiao Chu picked up the wine glass and poured it full of wine, took a sip and said: "Although she saved you, the suspicion is still very big, after all, there are many stories of hatred because of love." ”

Bai Hanyan shook his head, stared at him and smiled, but said solemnly: "I believe her." ”

Qiao Chu frowned slightly, listening to the affirmation in her words, and was puzzled: "Why do you believe in her so much?" ”

"Intuition." Bai Hanyan smiled slightly, took Qiao Chu's wine jug and poured a full glass for herself, the wine reflected her bright eyes: "A woman's intuition." ”

Qiao Chu was slightly shocked when he heard her words, looked at her, and a smile gradually appeared on his lips: "What a woman's intuition." ”

The two looked at each other and smiled and raised their glasses to drink, Qiao Chu turned his head and asked her, "Why do you suspect Chen Siyu?" ”

Bai Hanyan raised his eyebrows and groaned: "Because he said a word." ”

"What?"

"I didn't expect the murderer to be so cruel, not only killed Brother Luanming, but also killed my brother, he was really ruthless!" Bai Hanyan repeated what he said to her when he first met Chen Siyu, and sneered: "Although this is inadvertent, it is full of loopholes, at that time, when he returned from the Texas order, he learned the news of his brother's murder from Duan Changge's mouth, but when he saw me, he blurted out the key to the case, so I went to Duan Changge for verification and asked him if he had told Chen Siyu that Luan Ming died before Chen Tingyu." ”

Thinking of the beautiful scene in the hot spring pool, Bai Hanyan couldn't help but blush, shook his head angrily and continued: "Duan Changge said that he didn't tell him. ”

Qiao Chu twisted his eyebrows and pondered: "You mean to say that he already knew that Luan Ming was killed first, and then Chen Tingyu was killed." ”

"Not bad."

Qiao Chu pondered for a moment: "In this way, he is indeed very suspicious. ”

"And today on top of the ancestral hall...... Whether it was debunking Chengwen's conspiracy to make money, or the fake statue of the god in the flesh, Chen Siyu didn't seem to be much interested, on the contrary, when I said that Chengwen might be related to Luan Ming's death, he immediately reacted, which was really a bit abnormal. Bai Hanyan recalled lightly, feeling more and more suspicious that he was a little suspicious.

The corners of Qiao Chu's mouth provoked a shallow arc, raised his eyes to look at Bai Hanyan's eyes, and chuckled: "Why don't you and I make a bet?" ”

"Bet on what?" Bai Hanyan frowned twice.

"Just bet on who is the real murderer?" Qiao Chu raised his eyebrows and looked at her, looking provocative.

"Okay." Bai Hanyan responded happily and said with a smile: "I made this bet with you, but what is the bet?" ”

Qiao Chu laughed loudly, and suddenly he smiled, looked out of the wall vigilantly, shook his head and said with some regret: "It seems that you have a guest here, I will take the first step, and you and I will talk about the bet another day." ”

With that, he jumped onto the sycamore branch, and in a blink of an eye, he jumped off the wall and disappeared.

Bai Hanyan looked at the direction where he disappeared, and his suspicions gradually rose, why did this Qiao Chu bet with her who was the real murderer, and why did he care so much about this case?

What he wanted to do, she couldn't understand him more and more.

There was a sudden knock on the door, and the rapid sound of the knock pulled Bai Hanyan's thoughts back, and she frowned and asked, "Who called the door?" ”

The felt boots kicked the wooden door vigorously, the door could not withstand such violence, and was pushed open suddenly, and Li Chengdu broke in with a look of anger on his face.

"Lord Li, why do you want to break into Han's house in the middle of the night?" Bai Hanyan's voice suddenly became gloomy, staring at the rude person in front of him unhappily.

"Okay, you Han Yan, I, Li Chengdu, really underestimated you, I didn't expect you to come to Guiyang for a few days, and you actually hugged the thigh of Commander Duan, you bastard, could it be that you really have a habit of breaking your sleeves and jumped into Lord Duan's bath......" Li Chengdu was furious, and the words in his mouth became more and more unscrupulous, and he was going to give Bai Hanyan a ruthless blow while rolling up his sleeves, but before the humiliating words were finished, he suddenly felt a cold light flashed in front of him, and a snow-bright dagger had been placed on his neck, and he was frightened when he landed, Halfway through the conversation, it came to an abrupt end.

"Master Li, pay attention to your wording, otherwise I'm not welcome." Bai Hanyan's delicate face was in the dark, and the surging phoenix eyes stared at Li Chengdu, unable to hide his anger.

Li Chengdu pushed away the dagger in his hand, but his momentum was a little shorter, and he snorted coldly: "Lord Han doesn't know yet, Lord Duan wants to promote you to the command and envoy as a pusher, Lord Han is much luckier than the believers in the Splendid Teahouse, you are the real daylight." ”

Bai Hanyan was stunned by his words, Duan Changge actually asked her to command the envoy to be the pusher!
