Chapter 472: The Secret in the Wine Room
Chen Shen's room is on the fourth floor, I knocked on his room door three times, and Chen Shen himself came to open the door.
When he saw us, there was a hint of surprise on his stone face. "Is there anything wrong with coming to me?"
"I wanted to ask you something about Tatsuya." I said to him.
Chen Shen looked at us for a while, "Those who are clear are self-purifying, and those who are turbid are self-turbid." As for the matter of the senior brother, if you come to question me, I don't need to answer you, please go back. ”
Yujie hurriedly explained, "It's not what you think!" We've found something that may prove your innocence, but we still need to ask you in person. ”
Tatsumi looked at us for a while, and said coldly, "Come in." ”
The first question I asked him was when Lao Sichen Zhi was treating Chenye. He was not present.
"The master and I are here, but Chen Zhi tried a few methods to no avail, and then the master personally used ghost qi to detoxify the senior brother, but it didn't work." Throwing and carrying.
"What did Tatsuchi say at the time?"
Tatsu thought for a while and said, "He said that the damage to the ghost spirit of Tatsuya is irreversible damage, and there is no way to replenish the lost ghost qi. He apparently thought I was asking a strange question, "Are you suspicious of him?" It is impossible for him to harm the elder brother. ”
Yujie looked at him, "That's not necessarily, do you know his cat?" ”
Tatsu Shen nodded and asked what this had to do with cats, so I told him about the resurrection of the cat, and Tatsumi was very shocked when he heard it.
"In the ghost world, I haven't heard of anything like this."
I said in my heart that I have seen all the soulless people who are more outrageous than this, and there is nothing impossible.
"Could it be that he deliberately didn't save Chenye?" Qingxue asked.
Now he can't say it anymore. But our speculation is still skeptical, because a cat can't say anything.
I offered to see where he stored his wine, and if it didn't pass through someone else's hands, I would have to look for the problem at the source.
Reluctantly, he stood up and led us to the wine cellar.
He said that in order to prove his innocence, he even tasted the remaining half pot of wine and all the stored wine in front of the lord of the manor and Chenye, but he didn't do anything at all.
He smiled bitterly when he finished speaking. "Even then, some people will say that I have an antidote. But Master and Senior Brother are willing to believe in me, and I am already very content. ”
Chenshen's wine room was very small, and only me, Ling Xiao, and Yujie followed him in. He lit the candle inside, but it was still dim.
"Did you hear anything?" Yujie listened with her ears pricked up and asked us in a low voice.
Ling Xiao and I both shook our heads.
"There's definitely something weird here!" Yujie listened for a while, and told us with certainty.
Is there something else here?
"Do you mean the 'tick'?" Tatsushen asked. Yujie nodded again and again, asking what was going on.
It turned out that he had heard this voice a long time ago, but he had never found the reason, and it appeared before Tatsuya was killed.
"I think I've heard this somewhere." Yujie spoke softly, as if she was afraid of disturbing something.
At this time, Ling Xiao suddenly walked to the corner of the wine cellar, he slowly squatted down, and then waved his hand, let us go over and see. I saw that it was a small hole two fingers wide.
I looked at Chen Shen, and he looked dazed, "Why haven't I paid attention to this small hole before, but it shouldn't be anything." ”
"I think that's where the sound came from," Yujie pointed to the little hole, and then she suddenly said to me with a nervous expression, "Four Tigers, I seem to know what it is!" Pry open the tiles! Let the big poisonous bees out. ”
I did so and let the big bee fly out and stand by, and it flew around the house twice before landing on the floor tile.
Chen Shen pulled out a dagger and pried up the floor tile along the brick gap, and under it was covered with a large centipede more than a foot long.
Knowing that it was exposed, it began to flee quickly.
Chen Shen hurriedly stabbed it with a dagger, and Yujie immediately stopped him, "Don't kill it, if it dies and disappears, you won't have a way to prove your innocence." ”
Ling Xiao hurriedly closed the door of the house, and at this time, the centipede burrowed under the wine shelf.
I finally understood the reason why Yujie asked me to release the big poisonous bee, I quickly gave an order to the big poisonous bee to force the centipede out, and Chen Shen also picked up an empty wine jar and prepared to subdue the centipede.
The big poisonous bee was so impatient that it fluttered its wings, but it seemed that there was nothing to do with the centipede.
After flying around the wine rack for a few times, the big poisonous bee landed on the ground, and its ghost began to become chaotic, and finally it turned into a poisonous snake, and it hissed under the wine shelf, and soon the centipede was curled by its tail and pulled out.
Chen Shen hurriedly opened the wine jar, and then recited a series of incantations, the centipede seemed to be very uncomfortable, and after a while it took the initiative to burrow into the jar.
Tatsushen sealed the lid on the wine jar, and the big poisonous bee changed back to its original appearance and flew back into my gourd.
"I didn't expect you to have this kind of thing." Tatsushen looked at my gourd in surprise.
I smiled at him, "At least I won't use it to hurt people, the one you are holding is different, it has been used by bad people more than once." ”
Tatsu Shen looked at us with a puzzled face, "This centipede was found here by me, don't you suspect that I raised it?" In other words, whoever looks at it will think that I raised it. ”
Yujie told him that others might think so, but we wouldn't, because we knew this centipede too well.
Then she told him how I spit out the centipede, and then the process of getting into Tatsuchi's hands.
"Are you saying that it is now known to my fourth junior brother?"
"Well, and he still has one there, he lied to us that this one has been drugged, but I didn't expect it to be poison in the night."
Chen Shen has completely believed it this time, and we have finally been completely sure that the real murderer is Chen Zhi.
"He is so weak and sickly, why should he harm us!"
I thought to myself, looking at your usual cold appearance and very smart feeling, why are you confused at this time.
The purpose of my sue for killing him and Chenye must have been for the sake of the next lord of the manor. It is estimated that the reason why he didn't take this centipede was because he wanted to keep it and frame Chen Shen in the future.
If we hadn't gone to him today, we wouldn't have known that the centipede had already arrived in his hands.
Except for the black-robed master who taught the arts, no one else knew that Chen knew that there were centipedes, so once it was searched out of Chen Shen's room in the future, it would be ironclad evidence, and Chen Shen would be speechless.
"Then why didn't he want to have the master come and search my room before you came?" Chen Shen still has something to figure out.
Yujie thought it might be because he hadn't killed another insider yet, the black-robed master who gave him the centipede.
Chen Shen thought for a while and said, "Even if that's the case, it's not right, if this poisonous centipede does something to the wine, then why is it okay if I drink it?" ”
This question,We haven't thought about it.,It's really a little unexplainable.,Maybe only Chen Zhi knows.。
Chen Shen thinks that we should go and sue the lord of the manor immediately, since it is the poison under Chen Zhi, then he may also know how to detoxify, maybe Chen Ye can still be saved.
So a few of us took the wine jar and went out with Chenshen, but as soon as we opened the door, we saw the green-eyed black cat standing against the wall, as if eavesdropping. Chen Shen saw it with his own eyes this time, and he believed that Chen Zhi could bring the black cat back to life.
I tried to catch it, but it quickly jumped onto the hallway window and fled. The direction in which it ran was the direction of Tatsuchi's residence.
"This black cat must have been sent by Tatsuchi to spy on you, and he should soon know that we are going to expose him." Ling Xiao said nervously.
Chen Shen felt that it was time to act separately, since several of us were outsiders, so it was more convincing for us to take the centipede to tell the lord of the manor the truth. And he went to control Chenzhi to prevent him from playing any tricks again.
Tatsushen went straight out of the castle, and we went straight to the manor lord's room on the second floor.
As we passed the third floor, the light suddenly became dim, and a pair of green eyes suddenly appeared in front of us.
That black cat is back! Before I could react, it jumped into my arms, and with a claw hook, the jar fell to the ground and shattered.
