Chapter 76: Investigation of the case
Since Bai Zhi and Shen Yanchu went to the backyard, Liu Ruyan was alone, following the rockery stone forest, to the front yard garden.
There was a flute sound in the garden, and when I was close to the water pavilion, I saw that the instrument played was shaped like a bamboo pipe, and the color was pitch black.
"Miaoyin Gongzi has exquisite piano skills, but the flute sound is sad." Liu Ruyan approached and said to Dong Qingxian, "I didn't expect to meet again, it turned out to be in the Qi Mansion Villa." ”
Dong Qingxian put down the basket and looked slightly stunned: "You recognize me?" ”
She nodded: "On that day in Jinju, Xiaodao was quite impressed. ”
Dong Qingxian lowered his eyes, and the smile on his lips was gentle.
"+5 loyalty, 30 in total, please keep up the good work."
Liu Ruyan's smile deepened.
"My name is Dong Qingxian, I don't know my friend's name?"
"Ruyan." She was nonchalant.
"Ruyan." Dong Qingxian pondered between his teeth, and then spoke, "It's hard to find a bosom friend in the mountains and flowing waters, why don't you call Yan'er?" ”
"Ahem-" Liu Ruyan covered her lips, this kid doesn't know how to see outside.
Dong Qingxian poured her a cup of tea: "Come, moisten your throat." ”
Liu Ruyan took it familiarly, but at the moment when he picked up the fragrant tea, he remembered Shen Yanchu, if he was here, he would hand over a glass of water with a cold face and say "breath".
After drinking the fragrant tea, she talked to her: "I just listened to you play, but is it a basket?" ”
"Exactly." Dong Qingxian responded, "Compared with Yaoqin, the bamboo is still not good at learning, which makes you laugh." ”
"I don't understand the rhythm either, but I don't think the tune just now looks like Hu music."
"It's a Faqu." He replied, looking into the distance, "I want to borrow a song to overtake the undead." ”
When Liu Ruyan heard this, her eyes moved: "How much does Brother Dong know about Liu Shangshu?" ”
He shook his head: "When I first heard the bad news this morning, I was also surprised by the light strings. ”
She sighed: "I heard that Lord Liu wants to steal the Qi family's treasures, but with his temperament, he is not like a treasure thief, and he will not seek death easily." ”
"What does Yan'er mean is that Liu Shangshu was murdered?"
"There is no evidence to back it up." She replied truthfully, and suddenly the topic changed, "By the way, at the birthday banquet last night, I saw you leave the table halfway, where did you go?" ”
Dong Qingxian's face flushed, and in an instant, he thought that she was just a thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, so she didn't need to be too restrained: "I went to the toilet." ”
She sighed and asked, "In your opinion, who is the most suspicious of these people who went to the banquet?" ”
Dong Qingxian lowered his head, as if in contemplation: "Last night, I saw the head of the Qiu family come out of the thatched house and go to the side again. ”
Liu Ruyan secretly made a note and chatted with him for a few words, before getting up to say goodbye.
Liu Ruyan came out of the garden and then turned into another courtyard, where the Feng family master and the Qiu family master lived.
The head of the Feng family is more than half a hundred years old, and he looks lean, and he stays in the house after lunch, which is said to be to meditate and practice.
"I've seen Daoyou!" He came out and looked behind her, "Why don't you see Ming Juezi's real person?" ”
"The real person went to do it for Liu Shangshu." She returned the salute.
"Also, if you don't die, your resentment will be hard to dissipate." The head of the Feng family led her into the house and said, "The souls of those who hanged themselves will not be dispersed, and in the past few days, it will be rainy, and the yang energy will be insufficient. ”
Liu Ruyan listened patiently to his chatter, and at the end, the head of the Feng family suddenly got up and raised his hand to the window.
"I have been Zen for many years, and I have the fate to open the eyes of heaven, take the tree where Liu Shangshu hanged himself, it is very evil."
She took over: "How evil? ”
The head of the Feng family said gloomily: "Last night, I saw a white shadow on that tree, like a cat. ”
Liu Ruyan also remembered the white shadow: "According to Daoyou's opinion, the jade seal is missing, who is the most suspicious?" ”
The head of the Feng family snorted coldly: "I still need to ask, the head of the Qiu family loves antiques, who else can there be besides him." ”
"Daoyou really has unique insights."
"False praise, false praise."
Coming out of the Feng family, Liu Ruyan turned around and knocked on the door of the Qiu family.
Liu Ruyan walked in by herself, and she didn't make her intentions clear to the Qiu family master, so she directly took the lead: "You stole the jade seal!" ”
The head of the Qiu family was so frightened that he almost fell off the bead in his hand, and he said inarticulately: "You, you ......"
"What am I?"
"You're spewing blood!"
"Oh?" She turned her back, "But someone saw that on the night of the birthday banquet, you left the table with bad intentions. Some people say that you are not obsessed with antiques, if it is not you, who can it be. ”
"I didn't steal!" He choked up.
"Let me ask you, where did you go last night?" Liu Ruyan is colorful.
"I said I didn't steal it, I didn't steal it, I touched the treasures of the Qi family, and everyone can see this." The head of the Qiu family tried to exonerate.
"Why don't you explain where you've been and who you've met?"
The head of the Qiu family turned his face away, and his expression was fierce: "Who have I seen, why should I tell you." ”
Liu Ruyan caught a glimpse of the red mark on his neck: "Mrs. Qiu knows about this?" ”
With a "clang", the bead in the hand of the Qiu family master finally fell to the ground and split into two petals.
"What else do you know?"
She smiled meaninglessly: "I know that Mrs. Qiu doesn't know." ”
"I'm afraid of you, I'm just sneaking out to have a private meeting, don't spread the word about this." His face was pale.
"The trail knows the pros and cons." Her old god is on the earth to promise.
This Qiu family master was exposed after a little stimulation, and he was not a scheming person, I am afraid that he really let him steal the treasure, and he did not have that ability.
When she came out, it was getting dark, and she came to the door of Lord Chu.
As a long history, Chu Kun served as a staff member beside the first emperor, and now assists the young emperor in power, and he is experienced and difficult to deal with.
He knocked at the door, but saw that it was a servant who opened it.
"My master has gone out, and this little Taoist friend has something to ask to see?"
"Exactly." Liu Ruyan responded and entered the room, "The real person asked me to bring a message to Lord Chu, since he is not here, Xiaodao and wait." ”
After the servant served hot tea to Liu Ruyan, he bowed down and waited aside.
Liu Ruyan raised her hand to stroke her stomach: "I don't know if you can take some pastries over, when the road passed by the kitchen, I saw crab roe cake being made inside." ”
The servant thought that the child was greedy, so he went to fetch it.
As soon as the person left, she called out Ye Xun: "Guard the outside for me." ”
She pushed open the door to the inner chamber and began to search with her scouting experience. Since Chu Kun, as a strategist by the emperor's side, his mind is not below her at all, so it is only appropriate to avoid his edge and investigate secretly.
She checked all the suspicious places in the house one by one, and she skillfully restored all the things she had flipped through to their original state, and she could not see any clues.
Time flies, and the servants come and go.
"Host, target is approaching." Night-seeking reminders.
She didn't raise her head, her fingers followed the clothes Chu Kun had changed, and groped all the way: "How far is it?" ”
"Ninety-eight steps." He said.
The system can measure all the scenes within 100 steps, and the time is urgent: "Ninety, eighty-nine, eighty-eight......"
Liu Ruyan moved quickly, picked up a shirt again, and continued to grope along the inner pocket with her fingertips, and finally, her eyes changed. He pulled out a secret letter from his inner pocket, unfolded it, and read it quickly.
"Ten, Nine, Eight......"
The figure of the servant was reflected outside the window, and she kept moving in her hands, putting the secret letter back in her inner pocket.
At the right time, the door of the wing room was opened, and the servant walked in with a stack of orange pastries.
But when he heard a soft sound in the house, the servant looked for prestige, and it turned out that Liu Ruyan had just finished drinking the tea in the cup and put the cup down.
"It's back." With a delighted face, she took the plate from the servant's hand.
The servant smiled on his lips, secretly thinking that this Taoist boy was only a half-old child.
Liu Ruyan ate a few pieces of crab roe cake one after another, and then regained his old face: "It's not early, Xiaodao will go back first, if Lord Chu asks, I will transfer this talisman to him." ”
"If you are young, you will present the amulet to the adult."
Liu Ruyan held the stack of pastries, and after saying goodbye, her expression became condensed.
This Chu Kun is suspicious.
