Chapter 23: Halloween (6)
Wu Qingtian looked at Chu Yu for verification, Chu Yu smiled and said nothing, Liu Heng said loudly, "Lord Wu, I will cooperate with you in investigating the housekeeper's matter, but before that, please ask Lord Wu to find out about my wife's affairs, who dares to break into our Liu family and kill my wife!" ”
"Master Liu, rest assured, Mrs. Liu has always been kind and charitable, the Bodhisattva has a heart, and there are countless people who have helped, this official will definitely not let the real murderer go unpunished, and give Mrs. Liu justice!"
Wu Qingtian's words were sonorous and powerful, full of neutrality, and the color of justice in his eyes, Chu Yu also saw it in his eyes, and nodded with satisfaction.
"Then there's Lord Laowu."
Chu Yu shook his fan, "Lord Wu, in my opinion, if you want to find out who killed Mrs. Liu, you must first know how the murderer entered Mrs. Liu's room. ”
As he spoke, he turned his head and asked Xiaohong, who had just come from Liu Xuan, "When you went to deliver food to Mrs. Liu, the door was closed?" ”
Xiaohong nodded, "Because Madame didn't eat at night, so the lord instructed me to send Madame a supper later, when I got there, the doors and windows were closed well, and there was no trace of opening, I knocked on the door, no one responded, thinking that Madame was still sleeping, so I pushed the door open, who knows, I saw Madame lying on the ground, bleeding from the corners of her mouth......"
The more Xiaohong spoke, the weaker her tone became, and the picture of Mrs. Liu's death seemed to appear in front of her eyes again, and she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Wu Qingtian frowned, "You said that the door opened as soon as you pushed it, and the door was unlocked?" ”
Xiaohong shook her head, "There is no lock." ”
"You are a very important witness now, come back to the yamen with me first", Wu Qingtian looked at the frightened looks of those subordinates, and then looked at Liu Heng, "Master Liu, housekeeper, I will let you check the corpse well, and I will need your cooperation when the time comes!" ”
Liu Heng raised his hand and hugged his fist, "The grass people will definitely cooperate with Lord Wu to handle the case." ”
"Hmm."
With a wave of his hand, he left with the butler's corpse, Xiaohong, and the team.
Tonight is destined to be an extraordinary night.
After Lord Wu and they left, Liu Xu came over to talk about the situation, no arsenic was found on the people's bodies or in the room, and this matter ended here, the people were dismissed, Liu Heng arranged housing for Chu Yu and them, Shanshan was still taking care of Liu Xuan, seeing that they were also coming, Shanshan got up, "Brother Chu, what's wrong, do you have any clue?" ”
Chu Yu shook his head, "How is Miss Xuanxuan?" ”
Shanshan glanced at Liu Xuan, who was already asleep at the moment, and couldn't help sighing, "I can understand Miss Xuanxuan's mood, I hope she can come out." ”
Ding Jiu said untimely, "You understand? What do you understand? Could it be that you ......"
Chu Yu stopped even if he exited, "Eh, Shanshan, don't worry, I believe Miss Xuanxuan will be able to figure it out." ”
He patted Shanshan on the shoulder, and Shanshan nodded, "I hope so." ”
Ding Jiu stuck out his tongue knowing that he was bored, thinking about what he had said wrong, Zhao Yu couldn't help but shake his head when he saw the depression on Ding Jiu's face, at this time Liu Xu came, his expression was a little strange, and Chu Yu asked, "What happened to Liu Gongzi?" Why is your face so ugly? ”
Liu Xu shook his head and adjusted his state, but the panic in his eyes had not yet been adjusted, and several people could see that something was wrong with him, but he didn't say much, he looked at Liu Xuan lying on the bed, his eyes were full of care and love, the love in his eyes seemed to exceed the feelings between brother and sister, he reluctantly turned around, he asked Shanshan, "Xuanxuan is the closest to her mother, and she can't accept such a blow for a while, I'm afraid I'm going to be sad for a long time......"
Shanshan comforted him and said, "Liu Gongzi, don't be too sad, Xuanxuan still needs your care, just now she has been calling her mother and ...... Your name, presumably apart from Mrs. Liu, you also have a lot of weight in her heart, and now she is the most vulnerable, you can't fall! ”
Shanshan knows that what Xuanxuan needs at this time is a support, a hope that can give her the courage to face the future, I don't know why she relies on Liu Xu so much, no matter who it is, only with such a support, can she have the motivation to live, just like she, perhaps, at the beginning, she was driven by hatred to have the strength to live, so now she and the future are for her own beliefs, half of which is the belief given to her by her father, and half of her own belief, because of him, She was willing to go with him forever.
Her gaze turned to Chu Yu's face, and there was a hint of tenderness in her eyes, but this tenderness was broken by Ding Jiu, she passed between the two of them and said, "Shanshan is right! Now you are the pillar of the Liu family! I just calculated a hexagram for your Liu family, as long as you can listen to this level, there will be no disease and no disaster in the future, and the prosperity of the family is not a dream! ”
Chu Yu shook his head helplessly, and when Liu Xu heard Ding Jiu's words, he couldn't help but smile reluctantly, "Then borrow the auspicious words of Daoist Ding, I hope that our Liu family is really as you said." ”
Ding Jiu shook his fan with satisfaction, in fact, he was still lucky, how to say that he was also here to exorcise ghosts for others, the front foot just promised that there would be no problem, and someone died on the back foot, isn't this a slap in the face! If this spreads, who will ask him for fortune telling to exorcise ghosts? Fortunately, Master Liu is also reasonable, and he didn't blame him, nor did he let him lose money, after all, he had already received money from others, I just hope that someone is making trouble, and then find out the truth as soon as possible, and return Mrs. Liu's innocence, and don't let his reputation be ruined, otherwise he will not be able to continue to cheat.
"Trouble Miss Shanshan, let me take care of her tonight."
Shanshan nodded, it was the best thing to let Liu Xu take care of.
Several people came out of Xuanxuan's room, but saw Ding Jiu follow, "Hey! You three don't really plan to stay here! ”
Chu Yu smiled and didn't say anything, Shanshan didn't have the mood to deal with him, Zhao Yu shook his head, "What does Daoist Yiding mean, what should we do?" ”
Ding Jiu glared at Zhao Yu as if he was looking at a fool, "You still don't believe you when you say you're stupid!" What to do, of course it's to go! This is the family affair of the Liu family! It has nothing to do with us, the Dharma is done, the money is in hand, what are you doing here! Didn't I say, you guys are really nosy, Master Liu is rich, and he sent you three good people to help? Besides, isn't there still a Master Wu? I see, you will go with me! ”
Shanshan glanced at him, "Hmph! Heartless! ”
After that, Shanshan turned her head and left, Chu Yu looked at Shanshan's back as she left, and then looked at Ding Jiu, who was in place with a blank face, "You! You're the nosy guy! ”
Ding Jiu watched the two of them walk on their front and back feet, no, what is the situation, and looked at Zhao Yu again, "Hey, stone head!" ”
Zhao Yu has also gone away.
"I'm telling the truth!"
Ding Jiu wondered, what's wrong, is he not right? Suddenly, the evening breeze blew, looking around, why is it so gloomy? Ding Jiu shuddered, stepped up and left.
In the room, Liu Xu looked at Xuanxuan affectionately, watching her fall asleep peacefully with her eyes closed, a trace of the same emotion appeared in her eyes, he raised his hand to smooth her sideburns, and gently stroked her cheeks, and finally held her hand, and said gently, "Xuanxuan, you must get better as soon as possible." Brother will always be with you, no matter when, I will be by your side, I will accompany you, you can rest assured, even if everyone looks down on me, I will not give up on you, these days I have been thinking, why can't two people who really love each other be together? Is it just because we're brother and sister? Just because we are brothers and sisters, do we have to endure the white eyes of the world? I thought that my mother would support us, but I was wrong, she didn't understand the relationship between us, she didn't understand Ben! Father, father will not agree with us! ”
I didn't expect there to be such a feeling between their brother and sister, Liu Xu expressed his inner feelings unwillingly, expressed his resentment, and said that he was emotional, he held her hand excitedly, and felt that his grip hurt her, and let go of his hand and stroked her hand, "But don't worry, it's okay now, I won't stop us from being together, and when the matter is over, I will take you away and take you out of this sad place." ”
Suddenly, a figure flashed outside the window, Liu Xu was startled, he opened the door vigilantly and looked at both sides, and found that there was no one, and couldn't help but feel a chill behind his back, only to think that someone was staring at him, thinking of what he found in his mother's room, he closed the door, leaned on it, looked at Xuanxuan, who was still asleep, and watched her breathe steadily.
The reason why he said what he said just now, the reason why he was confident that they could be together openly was because he discovered the secret, and just when he made up his mind to take Xuanxuan away tonight, suddenly, a man in black with a green ghost mask appeared in front of him, he leaned back sharply, and there was no way back at this time, "Who are you!" ”
The ghost-faced man didn't speak, he showed a dagger and stabbed him directly, Liu Xu's eyes widened, and he turned around to open the door and escape. Obviously, the Ghostface is targeting him.
A scream pierced the long night, the lights in the backyard were lit one after another, Liu Xu had a knife stuck in his back, bleeding at the moment, the ghost-faced man was gone, and when everyone arrived, he was already dying.
Liu Heng was the first to rush over, when Chu Yu and they rushed over, he picked up Liu Xu and shouted to call the doctor, Ding Jiu volunteered to stop Liu Xu's bleeding, and what he didn't expect was that he also brought his own gold sore medicine, but fortunately, he was still reliable, the bleeding stopped, and it was a good toss, so many things happened in such a short time, Liu Heng experienced the pain of losing his wife, and now he has suffered such a blow, and the whole person is a lot older.
I don't know if it's too much movement, Liu Xuan also woke up, she held on to the door frame, tears fell, a pair of eyes were red, and she shouted hoarsely, "Brother......"
