Chapter 223: Qiao Chufanwai (8)
When night fell, the twilight in the sky gradually became thicker, the stars twinkled in the sky, Qiao Chu blew the flickering lights in the house, and walked out of the inn, before closing the door, he couldn't help but look up at Jian Xiaoyun who was sleeping soundly on the bed, watching her unconsciously squirm her lips, and involuntarily raised her lips and smiled.
A gust of night breeze blew outside, the trees outside the inn swayed and rustled, and Qiao Chu stood in the night with his hands in his hands, but his eyes were dyed with a sadness.
There are too many suspicious points in this case, and many things make Qiao Chu helpless, he suspects Aunt Shen and Chen Yi in his heart, but he doesn't have the slightest evidence to prove that the murderers are the two of them, and he can't convict the two of them based on speculation.
Unexpectedly, there were times when he was helpless for Qiao Chu.
"It would be nice to know the secret on Zhang Jin's corpse."
Qiao Chu sighed faintly, and after a long time, he seemed to smile bitterly as if he was sneering again, and the woman's face that had gradually faded in his mind resurfaced again, Qiao Chu thought that Duan Changge and Bai Hanyan should be very happy if they were there.
If the two of them were here, the case would have been solved at this moment.
"Only then did I know the usefulness of the two of us, Qiao Chu, you always think of us when you need to use people?"
An unruly voice came from behind him, accompanied by a woman's light laughter, Qiao Chu turned around suddenly, and saw a dazzling crimson and a woman's plain white skirt piercing the corner of his eye like a knife, which made Qiao Chu's heart stagnate, and he was silent for a long time before he spoke: "You guys...... How did it come? ”
The corners of Duan Changge's mouth turned up slightly, a little irresistible, and there was a bit of banter in his voice: "What, didn't you call us here?" But we have left all the babies behind to help you save your sweetheart, you have this attitude? ”
Bai Hanyan looked at the confrontation between the two of them, pursed his lips and smiled, stretched out his hand and slapped Duan Changge's chest, his eyebrows and eyes were filled with a sweetness that could not be dissolved, and he said softly: "Okay, you haven't seen each other for a long time, why are you so aggressive when you meet." ”
Duan Changge held her pink fist in the palm of his hand, lowered his eyebrows and smiled softly at her: "I know the lady, I'm teasing him." ”
Qiao Chu looked at this scene with a slightly sour heart, and turned his head away from looking at the two of them.
Bai Hanyan shyly withdrew his palm from her hand, looked up at Qiao Chu, and said with a slight smile: "It was Li Chengdu who said that you are in danger, let us help." ”
Qiao Chu's eyes sank, glanced at the corner of the dark night, and said in a low voice: "Li Chengdu, he will be nosy." ”
Li Chengdu, who was hiding in the corner, hurriedly shrunk his body into a ball, melted into the night, and wiped the sweat on his head with some palpitations.
Duan Changge looked at Qiao Chu so awkwardly, raised his eyebrows, shook his head and sighed: "I said Qiao Chu, you and I have been reunited for a long time, you are so cold, it's really sad!" ”
Qiao Chu glanced at him expressionlessly, flicked his sleeves, got up and left, as if he didn't want to pay attention to him, but just turned his head lightly and said to Bai Hanyan: "You two are in a hurry, let Li Chengdu prepare a room for you, rest for the night, and go to dig the grave tomorrow." ”
Duan Changge hugged Bai Hanyan and sighed helplessly, pointing at Qiao Chu's back with some pain: "Look at his appearance......"
Bai Hanyan pursed his lips and said softly, leaning in his arms obediently: "Okay, Xianggong, it's too late, I'm a little tired, let's go back to the room and rest." ”
When Duan Changge heard her soft words, his heart had already turned into a puddle of water, and the arms holding her tightened more and more, smiling dotingly above her head, and said, "Okay, I'll depend on you." ”
Qiao Chu returned to the room, leaned against the door, and exhaled heavily, even if he wanted to let go many times, just to see him again, he still couldn't let go.
A slight sound woke up the sleeping person on the bed, she rubbed her eyes and stood up to look at Qiao Chu at the door, stretched her waist, and said sleepily: "Xianggong, what are you doing, it's so late, why don't you sleep?" ”
Qiao Chu's heavy heart seemed to be gradually dissolved into nothingness in her soft two words, he looked at the woman on the bed, and the hardest place in his heart seemed to be melted silently, he raised his lips and smiled, perhaps, he should really let go.
"Well, here we are."
_
On the second day, the sky was a little gloomy, even if the sun was high and it was at noon, the sky was gloomy and dark blue.
A crowd of people stood densely next to Zhang Jin's grave.
Duan Changge looked coldly at the woman lying on Zhang Jin's tombstone, unconsciously stood with his hands in his hands, his crimson robe suddenly opened, and the yin aura on his body gradually increased, Shen Guzi seemed to have never seen such a domineering person, and she was stunned for a while.
Bai Hanyan moved lightly, walked in front of Aunt Shen, leaned down slightly, and smiled indifferently at her: "Mrs. Zhang, I don't understand, what are you ...... What are you sticking to? ”
Shen Guzi burst into tears, raised her hand to wipe the fine tears that fell on her cheeks, and there was a flow of amorous charm between her gestures, Bai Hanyan squinted her eyes unconsciously, but saw her choked up and said: "You and I have already married as **, if you see your father-in-law's grave dug up and end up with no bones, what will you do?" ”
Bai Hanyan was dumbfounded for a while, raised his eyes and glanced at Duan Changge beside him, his eyes were facing each other, and the eyes staring at each other seemed to tell an indescribable affection.
Bai Hanyan straightened up and smiled lightly, looked back at Shen Guzi and said solemnly: "I have also experienced the pain of losing my father-in-law, I'm afraid it's ...... It's worse than dying. ”
Duan Changge's body trembled, his face wrenched in pain, he stepped forward and hugged her waist, his arm gradually strengthened, comforting her silently, Bai Hanyan held his palm back, and continued with a light smile: "However, if the prime minister died in vain, why stick to those so-called secular people, what about the open coffin and autopsy?" As long as he can find out the truth, return him to the truth, and find out the real murderer of him, he can't let him die unjustly in vain! ”
Aunt Shen's hand was stunned, tears trembled in her eyelashes, and her pale face was full of the pain of losing her husband, which made people feel some pity for her from the bottom of her heart, she lowered her eyes, blocked the look in her eyes, and said sadly: "The girl is not me at the moment, so naturally it can be said that it is so painless." ”
Bai Hanyan saw that she looked soft and hard, shook his head, a chill flowed in his eyes, and looked at her and said, "Madame, why should you be like this, there is no affection between you and your father-in-law...... So arrogant, isn't there something hidden!. ”
"You're spewing blood!" Shen Guzi choked up again and again, as if her face was pale by the white cold smoke, and she cried more and more sadly.
Bai Hanyan sneered, and said without warmth in his voice: "Yes, you see that your crying is rapid at the moment, but there is only nervousness and uneasiness in your voice, and there is no pain at all, what, are you afraid that we will find something that will make you feel afraid?" ”
"You ......"
"Don't waste your words with her. Since she doesn't know what to do, then she doesn't have to worry about it. Come! ”
Duan Changge stared at the woman on the ground, and when the yin side opened, Cangli and Li Chengdu immediately stepped forward, bowed down and said, "What do you command?" ”
Duan Chang Singer pointed at Shen Guzi and said lightly: "Drag her aside and let the two graves be dug up!" ”
"No, you can't!"
Shen Guzi's eyes widened, and her face instantly turned white as paper, as if she couldn't believe that they really dared to dig a grave, and suddenly, Chen Yi, who came out of the crowd, shouted at Duan Changge: "Who are you, you are so bold!" ”
Duan Changge frowned, and before he could speak, the prefect ran over panting from the path, and said again and again: "Lord Duan, the lower officials have lost their welcome, and they have lost their ......."
"Needless to say, hurry up and let them dig for me!" Duan Changge waved his hand to interrupt him, his tone was impatient, and the prefect immediately ordered a group of servants: "If you still don't listen to the adults, dig quickly, dig quickly!" ”
Qiao Chu sat under the willow tree not far away and watched all this, holding a broken blade of grass in his hand, with a smile on his face, Jian Xiaoyun stared at Bai Hanyan's beautiful face, and his heart was bitter, it turned out that Qiao Chu's sweetheart was so gorgeous that he couldn't even compare to her.
angrily kicked the grass under his feet, raised his eyes and glanced at Duan Changge again, and a glimmer of light lit up in his heart, he was the one who was saved by the immortal elixir!
If she can get close to him, won't she be able to get the elixir of immortality, so that she can deal with her master!
"You'd better not have a bad idea, Jian Xiaoyun, you'd better not even think about that immortal elixir, otherwise, I'll let them leave immediately, and the case won't have to be investigated, and you will be arrested and sent to prison."
Qiao Chu glanced at her sideways, as if he had sensed her thoughts, although his words were calm at the moment, the anger and mockery in his tone could not be concealed at all.
Jian Xiaoyun immediately took her eyes away from Duan Changge, shrunk her neck in fright, and after thinking about it, she asked again as if she was uneasy, "Are they...... Can you really find clues to the murderer from the corpse? ”
Qiao Chu paused slightly, his gaze fell on Bai Hanyan's body, and quickly looked away, falling on Jian Xiaoyun's body again, and smiled softly: "Of course, I think the real murderer, you will know soon." ”
The coffin was carried up by the messenger, Duan Changge pushed the coffin lid open with one palm, and a foul smell came from inside, making people nauseated, Bai Hanyan covered his snort, walked to the coffin, Duan Changge stepped forward and handed her tools.
A meager knife was held in Bai Hanyan's hand, cutting the flesh and skin at Zhang Jin's chest little by little.
Everyone immediately bounced and opened, and they all gagged, Bai Hanyan looked at the corpse, and said in a deep voice: "Fortunately, the internal organs of the corpse have not been burned badly, and the lines are clearly visible." ”
The prefect took a step forward with the stench, raised his hand and asked, "What did Madame find?" ”
Bai Hanyan observed in his internal organs for a while, did not speak, slowly raised his head, fell his gaze on Aunt Shen on the side, smiled lightly, asked something unrelated to this case, and said, "Mrs. Zhang, I am curious, where do you use to curl your hair on weekdays?" ”
