Chapter 9: The Other Murderer

Inside the inn room.

Mrs. Gao sat on the edge of the bed holding her husband's hand with tears on her face, and Rong Zhou also sat aside with a teacup but didn't drink it.

"If you don't have a subordinate, just find a Langzhong, maybe there will be salvation." Ye Qi saw that his master was sympathetic, and scratched his head to help find a way. Rong Zhou also pursed his lips and didn't speak, Gao Rui was already angry, if it weren't for his little internal strength, I am afraid that he would have returned to the Nine Heavens long ago.

"Miss Yunluo is so cool, and it ...... a lot of effort."

"What? It's a bad mouth to say bad things about people behind your back. Yun Luo pushed the door in, squeezed out of the way, and sat on the edge of the bed.

Yeqi didn't expect her to come back, and she was stunned and stunned in place. Qingchuan sat opposite Rong Zhouyi, poured himself a cup of tea, and had a faint mockery in his eyes.

Yun Luo didn't pay attention to Ye Qi's words, raised her hand to give Gao Rui an injection and a pill, and then sat aside.

"Chuan Chuan and I just heard the people talking on the street, saying that a fire broke out in the backyard of the yamen when the foreign official arrested the thief." She took a sip of the tea poured by Qingchuan, and Rong Zhou also raised her eyebrows and said, "Jin Yuan went out to report to the official?" Did you hear it right? ”

Yun Luo shook her little head and swore that "No, I specially inquired." ”

"This fire should have been set on purpose, and the purpose should have been to burn the evidence." Rong Zhou also frowned, feeling pity in his heart: "It's a pity that the file was not kept, there must be a secret in that file, otherwise how could he risk setting it on fire." ”

He regretted not being at the beginning, but Yun Luo touched his chin and said, "I brought out that dossier." It's just that you've all seen it at the time, so there shouldn't be any more problems. ”

Rong Zhou was also a little surprised, but he didn't expect this girl to take out the file. Yun Luo held her chin in confusion at his surprise - she was just in case.

"Ahem!"

The person on the bed suddenly coughed, Yun Luo did not hurry to turn around and go to the side of the bed to pull out the silver needle, and called Qingchuan to press a few acupuncture points, and Gurry woke up immediately.

"Xianggong!" As soon as Mrs. Gao saw him wake up, she hurriedly walked to the side of the bed to look, and Gao Rui sat up with her body propped up, full of doubts: "Madam? How did I end up here? ”

Mrs. Gao told him what had happened, and when Gao Rui heard that Mrs. Gu was full of worry, "This girl, this matter has been planned by me from beginning to end, please let my wife go, then I have suffered for her, okay?" ”

Yun Luo flattened her mouth and was a little unhappy, touched the muslin on her neck, and still had some grudge for the injury.

None of the people present dared to open their mouths to plead, and Qingchuan was reluctant to open this mouth because he was angry in his heart, and the atmosphere stiffened for a while.

"I heard that there are a lot of delicious foods in Luling, how about we play there for a few more days when we pass by Luling when this case is over?" Rong Zhou also asked tentatively, he couldn't figure out if this trick would be useful to this girl.

Yun Luo pondered for a while, and felt that this condition was not bad, so she immediately solved the Gu.

"Thank you, girl, thank you, childe." The husband and wife both thanked each other, and Yun Luo was thinking about going to the money village to get more money when the time came, Luling is much bigger than this place, and there must be a lot more delicious and fun.

Rong Zhou also straightened his expression and asked the matter: "Gurry, is it time for you to confess to us that the matter has come to this?" ”

Mrs. Gao glanced at Xianggong with some concern, and he pondered for a while and slowly spoke.

"My father was the owner of the caravan that was killed three years ago, when he passed through the town with the caravan and never came back. The county government only sent someone to inform him, but the body was not found, and the murderer was not found. ”

"My mother was depressed about this, and she went to Zhizhou several times to appeal but no one cared, just because she couldn't file a case because she couldn't see the body. My mother died of illness not long after, and my wife and I were not willing to be buried in the ground, so we moved here to find out the truth. ”

"A few months ago, I met an old gentleman who used to be a master in the Yamen. When he was drunk, he told me about the old days, and I went to his house quietly and threatened me that he told me that they were the ones who killed the caravan. ”

Rong Zhou also interrupted appropriately and asked, "Which ones?" ”

"Lord Wang and Lord Zhou, who are dead, as well as Master Li and Jin Yuanwai, who are already dead. The former county commander Xu didn't report it if he knew about it and concealed the facts, and he should be damned! The hatred in Gurry's eyes was difficult to erase, and Yun Luo asked casually on the side: "Then why did you make such a big wound when you killed Lord Zhou, don't you have a cow's hair needle?" ”

Gurry was stunned, and did not ask her how she knew the hidden weapon she used, but explained in astonishment: "I didn't kill Lord Zhou, I only killed that Lord Wang that day." I didn't think about how to kill people, but that day I accidentally saw a few of them out of the city, so I followed them all the way to look for opportunities, until the eaves collapsed, and I took advantage of the chaos to kill Lord Wang......"

Yun Luo opened her mouth and dizzed again, didn't Lord Zhou kill him?

"You said it wasn't you, do you have any proof?" She still didn't believe it, the method was almost the same, but the murder weapon used was different, he said no, no?

Rong Zhou also waved his hand and answered: "Do you remember what Feng Yan said that day? I remembered something very important later. The roof of the Guanyin Temple was very high, and if one palm was to break the roof beam, the palm wind would inevitably go upward, and it would not pass past Feng Yan's ears. ”

The little girl nodded suddenly, and then her brows furrowed again: "What's going on then?" Who killed Lord Zhou? How did the temple collapse? ”

"Don't worry, I asked the officials who cleaned up the scene. They said that the roof and load-bearing pillars of the Guanyin Temple were already somewhat broken, and the collapse must be related to the moment when he threw the hidden weapon, and now the question is - who is the person who does the game. ”

Rong Zhou had already guessed seven or eight in his heart, but there was no evidence, and everything was just an inference.

"How did you come up with the murder method of pouring a secret weapon into the Baihui acupoint? Is it really a stab in a hurry? Yun Luo threw the question back to Gurry, who was a medical student and knew all about it.

The Baihui acupoint is on top of a person's head, and it is not easy for the hidden weapon to be thrown in that position.

"This is what I once heard someone mention when I was drinking in a restaurant, saying that piercing a person's Baihui acupoint with a sharp weapon would kill people on the spot. So I went to buy the acupuncture point diagram and practiced the secret weapon hard. ”

Rong Zhouyi's eyes rolled, and then asked, "The restaurant you are talking about is Chaoyang Restaurant?" ”

"yes, that's the restaurant!" Gurry clapped his hands excitedly, pulled the wound on his body, and grinned in pain, and did not forget to echo: "Hiss...... I remember very clearly, it was Chaoyang Restaurant. ”

Yun Luo turned her head to look at him, a little strange: "How do you know?" ”

"Do you remember when I said that there was a problem with the broken temple because I heard a few people discussing it in the restaurant? Now think about it, one of them has a voice like Jin Yuanwai, and the other has never heard it so far, isn't it the mysterious Lord Xu? ”

Rong Zhou also rested at the door of this restaurant at the beginning, his hearing was different from ordinary people and he was extremely sensitive because of his martial arts practice, and it happened to be not a restaurant that day, and there was no one in the restaurant, so he heard it clearly.

Yun Luo's little face was wrinkled, and she tried hard to sort out these clues: "You said that the five people who were involved in the caravan murder back then, Lord Wang was killed by Gurry, I can understand this." But why did the others tempt him to kill? What's the point? ”

"It's not just an inducement, it's very likely that Lord Zhou and Mr. Old Man also died at the hands of those people. They must have killed the old gentleman because the matter was going to be overwhelmed. Then the killing of Lord Zhou must be the same. ”

She was a little incomprehensible, and Gurry was also confused: "How can they kill each other when they have a nest of snakes and rats?" ”

"This is also what I can't figure out, and the current prefectural order is also involved. And Jin Yuanwai should have wanted to kill Gurry, but why did he beat him to his dying and finally ran to the yamen to complain? Just to set a fire? ”

Rong Zhou also felt that the biggest suspicion was here, and the clue they found in the file was the matter of public funds. And Lord Xu was also dismissed and investigated because of this, it stands to reason that they shouldn't be so afraid.

For the few of them, it didn't matter if Gurry knew the truth or not, otherwise he wouldn't have been tempted to kill. But what's the point of killing people with a knife? There are also chronic poisons that can be controlled in the body of the county order, what else is hidden behind this?

"Night Seven, you go find out some news and come back." Rong Zhou also beckoned to him, and then muttered a few words in his ear, and Ye Qi went out directly after listening to it.

Yun Luo's eyes widened, a little curious about what he thought of again, and Rong Zhou also turned his head to look at Qingchuan again: "I have to ask you to run for this matter." ”

"No, no." Qingchuan crossed his legs and looked like he didn't care about himself, he was Miss's entourage and not his Rong Zhouyi, wanted to call him? Dream on.

Rong Zhou was not in a hurry, the corners of his lips hooked slightly, and said, "Hey, if you finish the case earlier, you can go to Luling to play earlier, right?" I heard that the Luling Tomb is not only delicious, but also the fun things of the temple fair. ”

Yun Luo had a posture of pricking up her ears, and as soon as she heard this, she came to her senses, and raised her foot and kicked Qingchuan's chair: "Don't hurry up, I still want to go to Luling to play." ”

Qingchuan got up a little helplessly, and reluctantly went out after listening to Rong Zhouyi's whispered instructions. Before leaving, I didn't forget to tell me again and again that I would play the flute immediately if something happened.

"Eh, what's the use of playing the flute when you have an accident? Didn't you say that Gu needs to be lured, otherwise it won't be easy to blow anything? Rong Zhou was also a little curious, the little girl smiled mysteriously, covered her mouth and asked quietly, "Want to know?" ”

He nodded, only to see the little girl suddenly turn together, shook the jade flute in his hand and smiled: "I won't tell you, call me when I go to dinner to catch up on sleep." ”

Yun Luo ran out playfully, and Rong Zhou also smiled helplessly - this girl really can't figure out her character.

"By the way, judging from the internal force you use the hidden weapon, your martial arts should not be weak, how can you be easily caught?" He turned his head to look at Gao Rui lying on the bed again, and after thinking about it carefully, he said: "Actually, I didn't have time to do anything with them, I heard the people in the house say that Jin Yuanwai was in the study in the backyard, I touched the study all the way, and as soon as I entered, I fainted." ”

Rong Zhou also touched his chin when he heard thisβ€”things seemed to be getting clearer and clearer.
