Chapter 63: Who's More Suspicious?
It didn't take long to go down the mountain, but they encountered obstacles, because of the storm last night, many trees were blown down by the strong wind, and they were on the road, and it took some more effort to remove these trees, so Shen Qingyu and the others could only wait on the side.
Shen Qingyu was in a trance until now, and he couldn't figure out what was going on.
Could it be that the man brought them to the Shouxian Temple just to kill people? can be poisoned unknowingly, so why don't you do it and kill everyone endlessly, but only kill some of them?
The person who was killed was the chosen target? Or is there another selection criterion?
Shen Qingyu forced himself to calm down and carefully think about the ins and outs of the whole thing, but saw that the rain was getting heavier, what was originally just a drizzle, and gradually turned into a pouring rain.
She heard the guards who were moving those trees say to Sun: "Madam, we don't have enough manpower, I'm afraid we won't be able to move these trees for a while, it's better for us to step on them directly, after walking through this section, it will be a flat avenue, and the small ones will go to prepare the carriages and horses, it's good!" ”
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and the corners of Sun's skirt were all wet, and she was upset, listening to the guard's advice, and said angrily: "The rain is so heavy, you let me stand in the rain and wait?" Won't you go down and call someone first? ”
The guard answered, and turned to leave.
Fortunately, they didn't go far, and in order to avoid the rain, they returned to the Shouxian Temple.
The corpses of those people on the ground were still there, which was really scary, but everyone had no choice, so they had to be in the same room with the corpses for the time being.
Shen Qingyu had the audacity to sneak a few glances at the corpse, and sorted out who was going to die.
Some of these people are Shen Bo'an's personal servants, some are guards in charge of security, and some are little maids that Shen Qingyu is very familiar with.
These dead people have nothing in common except that they are all descendants of the Shen family.
It would be impractical to say that the murderer deliberately chose these people as targets. Shen Qingyu prefers that the murderer doesn't care who the person who died, but only cares whether the target he wants to put to death is dead.
She sat in a daze until Wen called her twice.
Shen Qingyu immediately responded: "What's wrong?" Mother? ”
Wen saw that although her daughter's face was not very good, she was in good spirits, so she was relieved: "Not much? I'm worried that you're scared, it's okay. ”
She was so scared that she couldn't do it, but she still wanted to be calm, if she kept panicking, I was afraid it would only make Shen Qingyu even more uneasy.
The group did not dare to eat or drink, fearing that they would follow in the footsteps of the dead and become one of the corpses.
Just when Shen Qingyu thought that they would have to wait for a long time, a guard came to tell them good news that the obstacles on the road had been cleared.
It turned out that Shen Qinglin, who arrived one step late, finally arrived, and with the help of him and the people he led, the road could be quickly unimpeded.
As soon as Shen Qingyu heard that it was Shen Qinglin who came, he hurriedly went out to greet him.
She really didn't get any useful information when she thought about it alone, thinking that it might be more useful to have one more person, so she was very happy about Shen Qinglin's arrival.
Shen Qingyu stood on the steps and looked down, and Shen Qinglin was walking up step by step.
She walked down the stairs quickly, and the stone steps were very steep.
Shen Qinglin naturally saw his sister as well, Shen Qingyu was a little frightened when he walked quickly from top to bottom.
When the distance between the two was only four or five steps, Shen Qingyu's feet were crooked, and he was about to fall.
Shen Qinglin's body reacted faster than his brain, and he reflexively stretched out to pick it up, but saw that Shen Qingyu had stabilized his body and stood up again.
When he realized what he had done, he quickly withdrew his hand and acted as if nothing had happened.
Shen Qingyu didn't know what he was awkward, and shouted affectionately: "Big brother! ”
She didn't wait for Shen Qinglin to answer, so she told everything that happened in the Shouxian Temple.
Shen Qinglin frowned when he heard this, he actually killed so many people overnight, and he naturally didn't expect this development.
Originally, he thought it was quite interesting, but now it seems to be too "interesting".
He took three steps and two steps, walked quickly to Wen's side, and was relieved to see that his mother was fine.
He brought enough manpower, and this time the descent was much smoother. He stayed at the back, wanting to examine the body.
Shen Qingyu naturally had to stay, and Wen saw that the relationship between their brother and sister seemed to have eased, so they didn't pull Shen Qingyu, but let Shen Qingyu's brother and sister go to the back of the line.
Shen Qingyu grabbed his brother and asked, "Is the cause of death poisoning?" ”
Shen Qinglin glanced at his sister in surprise, not understanding why the other party was so interested in this kind of thing now, and thought for a while, "It should be poisoning." But don't you say that since you came here last night, you have eaten and drunk the same food, why are some dead and others alive? ”
Shen Qingyu scratched his head, "This is also something I don't understand, how did the murderer do it?" And whether this has achieved the goal or not, this is not investigated at all. ”
Shen Qinglin said slowly: "If I am a murderer, I have someone I want to kill, I don't think I will do it soon, I have to make him suffer enough and suffer a lot before I can end him." ”
Hearing him say this, Shen Qingyu also felt that there was such a possibility, the person hiding behind him poisoned people, of course it was good to be able to solve the target, but it was better not to solve it, so that her target could be tortured more.
The question is where is the poison? Cup? Before using the cup of Shouxian Temple, the maidservants will definitely wash it carefully, so will the poison remain in the cup?
Shen Qingyu couldn't figure it out, so she had to put this question aside for the time being, and asked, "Who do you think did this?" Are those two new arrivals? ”
Shen Qinglin pondered for a moment, "If it is really one of those two, then she is not here to recognize her relatives at all, but to take revenge on her father who abandoned his mother back then." But can a little girl really do such a thing? But if it weren't for one of them, who else would have the motive to let the Shen family be ruined in order to be comfortable? ”
They had been walking unhurriedly at the back of the line, and when they saw that they were not far ahead of them where they could change to a carriage, they stopped talking.
Shen Qinglin didn't expect that his younger sister would be able to face the changes in front of her calmly at such a young age, and even be able to discuss with him who the real murderer was, without being stunned at all, and inexplicably felt a sense of pride.
Sure enough, it was his sister! Not the average person can compare!
But as soon as this idea came to mind, it was cut off by him, he couldn't just reconcile with Shen Qingyu.
