Chapter 35: The Truth of Baifu (2)

As soon as Shi Cheng's voice fell, the entire bedroom was silent, and everyone had different expressions, but they all looked at Shi Cheng like a monster.

Bai Gui was the first to react from the silence, and he opened his mouth and scolded angrily: "Are you crazy with a lost heart? The old master was harmed by your pill last time, my Bai family hasn't settled accounts with you, and you are still embarrassed to make a big deal out here! ”

Shi Cheng didn't pay attention to Bai Gui at all, he just said to himself: "From the first day I visited your mansion, I deeply felt that the Bai family master is strict in governing the family. Often, such people have a strong sense of control over their subordinates and the affairs of their families, as evidenced by the ledgers and letters stacked on your desk. ”

As he spoke, Shi Cheng picked up a letter from his desk and continued, "This is a letter that I accidentally found on your desk after the last time I opened the furnace for alchemy. It was sent by the shopkeeper of a small shop under your Bai family. Before I rescued Wu Daoyou from prison, I secretly conducted an investigation into this small shop, and it turned out that it was really just an inconsequential shop. But the old master of the white family, you still made a serious annotation on it. ”

Shi Cheng paused, and then said: "When I first came to your Bai family, I suspected Wu Daoyou, and later I suspected that Bai Gongzi and Bai Steward were the masterminds of all these things in the Bai Mansion. However, it wasn't until my mind suddenly recalled the letter I saw on your desk on the day of the alchemy that a bold guess suddenly appeared in my mind, could the real mastermind actually be the victim of the Bai family's strange incident, that is, you, the head of the Bai family! ”

"I believe that a person who will seriously inquire about the affairs of even a mediocre small shop in the family industry, a master of martial arts cultivation who is the strongest in Redwood City, and his ability to control the entire family cannot be compared to that of a white prince who is only responsible for taking care of part of the industry. The corpse robbery near Redwood City has been happening for a long time, and the time for your Bai family to be involved in this matter is probably not short. If Young Master Bai is involved in this matter, how likely are you to stay out of it? I also secretly investigated the family ancestral hall where you were attacked when you were attacked, and there was no trace of the demon clan in it, and I didn't find any trace of someone secretly poisoning you. Also, the most important point is that the ancestral hall is very empty, and the door needs to be pushed or pulled outward to open. In other words, if someone wants to hide in the ancestral hall and plot against you, he will not succeed at all, because you can find him directly as soon as you enter the ancestral hall. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked at Bai Gui, who was in a daze, and continued: "After secretly investigating the internal structure of the Bai family's ancestral hall, I have a conclusion in my heart, that is, what Bai Gui and Steward Bai said before that he found you killed in the ancestral hall is very likely to be a fiction, and your murder is probably just a play directed and acted by you. I even have a bolder conjecture, the faceless ghost who made waves in the Bai family is probably also played by you. Although I don't care about the martial arts strength of the guards of your mansion, if you want to be able to be elusive in the Bai Mansion, I also have to admit that ordinary martial artists can't do this, and in the entire Bai Mansion, I'm afraid that only the three of you, the Bai Family Master, the Bai Butler and the Bai Grand Prince, have this kind of strength. ”

"In addition, in the haunted incident that occurred during my free clinic in the city, the faceless ghost appeared immediately after the three of Bai Gongzi Bai and Bai Butler left. This also makes me more suspicious of you, if the mastermind of the Bai family incident does not have strong foreign aid outside the mansion, that faceless ghost can only be played by you as the head of the Bai family. ”

Shi Cheng glanced at Bai Qingming and Bai Gui, and continued: "Finally, a few days ago, when I sneaked into your Bai family in disguise, I found it even more interesting. Bai Gongzi, Bai Butler, you should also be quite curious about what Shi Mou was looking for when he disguised himself into your mansion that day. What I want to know is what changes have occurred in your style of handling documents before and after the accident of the old master Bai, so I compared the industrial management documents in your room at different times and your annotations on them, and the results did not disappoint me. ”

"There is no change in your previous annotation style and the style you used to do during this time. The amount of paperwork has not changed much. It stands to reason that if something so big has happened to your Bai family, Bai Gongzi and Bai Butler, the pillars of the Bai family, must take on more responsibility. But I don't see that in the way you handle the paperwork. I can't help but wonder if there is another person in this white mansion who is still in charge of everything in the dark? ”

Bai Qingming moved his mouth, and just wanted to say something, but a faint voice suddenly sounded in the room, and the voice sighed and said: "Ming'er, let's do it, the old man has been worthy of admiration all his life, but he didn't expect to be in such a mess in his later years, he made mistakes again and again, and now he was debunked by Shi Xiaoyou on the spot, if he didn't have the courage to admit everything he had done today, I was afraid that after going to the Netherworld in the future, he wouldn't be able to feel at ease." ”

As soon as the words fell, Bai Jilong, the head of the Bai family, who had been lying on the bed, slowly opened his eyes and sat up from the bed.

"Master, there is no real evidence in Shi Cheng's hands, why are you bothering?" Bai Gui sighed.

Bai Jilong smiled bitterly: "Ah Gui, you don't know the skills of this Shi Xiaoyou. Do you think it is necessary to continue to perform this play? ”

Bai Xuan stood in place in a daze, looking at this grandfather who used to love her very much, but at this moment, she felt very far away.

Wu Neng, who was beside Shi Cheng, also felt that his brain was blank, and the two henchmen behind Bai Gui were completely dumbfounded at this time, and the two of them stammered and exclaimed, "Old ...... Sir, you ...... Aren't you? ……”

"Grandpa, are you okay......" Bai Xuan took a step forward and asked in a trance: "This, what the hell is going on, is what Shi Gongzi said true, our Bai family has really been doing some unsightly things all the time?" ”

Bai Jilong was silent for a while before he whispered to his granddaughter: "Xuan'er, you go out first, I want to talk to Shi Xiaoyou about something." ”

Bai Xuan just shook her head and said that she didn't want to leave. Bai Jilong knew his granddaughter's character very well, sighed lightly, and did not continue to persuade, but turned to Shi Cheng's side and said: "I didn't expect that Bai's planning for many years was finally completely exposed because of an omission in the warehouse. ”

Shi Cheng smiled and said, "Actually, even if I didn't find the corpse liquid in the warehouse, I can be sure that your Bai family must have something to do with the corpse robbery case." ”

"Oh? The old man would like to hear about it. ”

"It all started when I was in the city. Many people may think that in order to investigate a matter clearly, they must go to the center of the whirlpool to investigate in order to gain something. But it seems to me that the obscure places around the whirlpool may not hide valuable clues. ”

Shi Cheng glanced at everyone and continued, "So after I came to Redwood City, I would often go to places like wine shops or teahouses, and I held a free clinic in the city the day after I came to your Bai family. One of the things I do is to be able to reach out to the people of the city and learn more from them. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng paused, glanced at Bai Jilong, and continued: "Sure enough, on the first day of my free clinic, I came into contact with two very important people in the west of the city. The first person had a relationship with the government of Redwood City, and he told me a lot of details about the body robbery. ”

"I remember him mentioning that the government's arresters and spies kept a close watch on the roads between Redwood City and the surrounding counties, but they couldn't find a single stolen body. This matter is really a bit unbelievable, but those corpses have wings and fly into the sky. Actually, it might be easier to think about it the other way around, but what if the bodies weren't transported to the surrounding area at all? From this point of view, only you, the Bai family, have the energy to do this. ”

"With your Bai family's resources, prestige in the city, and connections, those corpse thieves can secretly put the stolen corpses in your Bai family's caravan and transport them into the city through the caravan. In addition, the theft of the Bai family's ancestral tomb will also help your Bai family get rid of suspicion. In this way, the government of Redwood City will not be eyeing your Bai family's caravan, and those stolen corpses can also be continuously sent into your Bai family's treasury to hide temporarily. When I came, I could feel that the local government was not strict about the port of Redwood City, and your Bai family was still the big owner of the port, so after a simple disposal of the corpses in the warehouse, you had a way to smuggle these stolen corpses out of the city in disguise as goods. ”

"The clue that another person brought me was accidentally discovered during the free clinic, I found a very evil poison in her body when I was doing a free clinic for a subordinate who used to work in your Bai family, although another person may not be able to see the category of this poison, but I know very well what kind of poison it is, and I also know that it is a unique poison that the force behind your Bai family will use. I firmly believe that that force is related to the corpse robbery case, so the accidental discovery in this free clinic really can't make me not doubt the relationship between your Bai family and that force. ”

Speaking of this, Shi Cheng looked directly at Bai Jilong and said lightly: "So, Old Master Bai, let's talk about it." How did your Bai family get taken advantage of by that force, and how much did you do for them in this corpse robbery case? Shi listened attentively. ”
