Chapter 52: A New Investigation
Cao Bo pondered: "Those who died did go on the boat to enjoy the fun, but I should have seen Yiliu the most, although my health is not good, but I am at least alive, if Yiliu wants to kill me, why doesn't she do it." ”
Qiu Sheng felt that what Cao Bo said made sense: "Who would take such an obvious thing as killing someone to himself, it is those dead male guests who have a relationship with Yi Chunliu rather than those who have a relationship with Yi Chunliu will die, is someone deliberately retaliating against her." ”
Jue Cheng thought about what Qiu Sheng said: "Qiu Sheng is right, does Yi Chunliu have any enemies?"
Cao Bo recalled the people who had a big enmity with Yi Chunliu: "Yi Liuqin has superb skills and is in the place of fireworks, there are definitely not a few people who are jealous of her." ”
Jue admits that I'm afraid I'll have to ask Yi Chunliu again.
Cao Bo coughed violently twice.
Jue Cheng checked Cao Bo's pulse again: "It's late at night, Cao Gongzi will rest first, if there is anything, call us, we are at the door." ”
Cao Gongzi lay down, folded the quilt on his body, turned over, and turned his back to them: "You go back to sleep, I'm fine." ”
Juecheng looked at his thin back, what kind of story did they have?
Mei Lianghe touched the top of Lingdu's head: "Why did you come out." ”
Lingdu stood on tiptoe and touched Mei Liangor's head: "I'll accompany my brother." ”
Mei Liang or looked at Lingdu, who was a small ghost: "Lingdu has grown up!"
Lingdu's eyes narrowed with a smile.
Mei Liang or look at how happy Lingdu, she didn't seem to like to laugh in the past, every time she was cold, but she would always protect herself, Mei Liang or said sorry to her silently in her heart.
Lingdu wanders around the yard, she likes to look at the flowers and touch the grass.
Hui'er came in with hot water after a while: "Hasn't the master gone back to rest yet?"
Mei Liang pointed inside: "Jue Cheng is diagnosing the pulse of your young master." ”
Hui'er nodded and wanted to go inside.
Mei Liang stopped her: "You wait first, they are still talking." ”
Hui'er didn't dare to brush his face: "Okay, master." ”
Mei Liang or thought of such a coincidence that Mrs. Cao came today: "Today is Mrs. Cao who you call home." ”
Hui'er can't lie, after all, so many people saw her: "Yes, Hui'er doesn't know water, and her son is in the water, and Hui'er is at a loss, so she can only go back to the house and ask her wife to help." ”
Mei Liang may think that what Hui'er said is seamless, but the more this is the case, the more he thinks Hui'er is strange, Mrs. Cao accused Yi Chunliu as soon as she came, obviously she got off the boat to save people regardless of herself, where did Mrs. Cao get her anger and slapped her in public, just because she was a singer?
Juecheng They went out and saw Hui'er talking to Mei Liang: "Cao Gongzi has already slept." ”
Hui'er saluted everyone: "Hui'er has to keep vigil for Gongzi, why don't the masters go back first, and Hui'er will report something." ”
Mei Lianghe waved his hand: "You go back to rest first, we have promised Mrs. Cao to help him guard Gongzi Cao." ”
Hui'er didn't fight with them much: "Then call me if you need anything." ”
The five of them sat down at a round table in a small pavilion in the courtyard.
Mei Liang looked in the direction of Jue Cheng and Qiu Sheng: "Do you go to see what you found in those corpses?"
Juecheng shook his head.
Qiu Sheng said: "I don't think this is something that humans can do. ”
Jiang Ke knew Qiu Sheng's suspicions: "But as far as I know, no demon has such an ability to let people die naturally, leaving no trace." ”
Mei Liang may think of her again: "Maybe it's not a demon, it's a shadow soul sucker." ”
Juecheng was unfamiliar with the words: "Soul sucking?"
Mei Liang may tell everyone what he knows: "I often see those people practicing some strange spells in the shadow department, if you want to greatly increase your mana, soul sucking is the best choice, its use is easy to be used by cultivators, you need to absorb people's essence for a long time to increase your own mana, the so-called it is called soul sucking, because because people who lose their essence will become more and more depressed like losing their souls." ”
Jue Cheng felt that Mei Liang or conjecture was more likely: "Are the people from the shadow department coming to the world to make trouble again?"
Mei Liang shook his head: "Not necessarily, the shadow technique has now spread out partially, and the people of the shadow department will definitely pass it on to others, and the shadow department has always been strong, although it is useful to suck people's essence, it will be very slow, and their best targets are still demons and spirits, which can only prove that this person's own mana is not high, and he can only choose people." ”
Qiu Sheng said: "Then now that she has absorbed the essence of so many people, won't it grow very quickly." ”
Juecheng took a deep breath: "Looks like we have to be careful. ”
Qiu Sheng saw Mei Liang or: "What do you think of that Yichun Willow today?"
Mei Liang may remember the scene he found in the river: "She is certainly not simple, but she is indeed a person." ”
Juecheng looked at Mei Liang or curiously: "Did you find anything?"
Mei Lianghe thought carefully: "When she rescued Cao Bo, she could come and go freely in the water and even breathe, which should not be something that humans can't do." ”
Jue Cheng shook his head: "Not necessarily, some people were born and raised in places near water, and it is good to appear watery, and it is possible that they are similar in water and on land." ”
Mei Liang still doesn't think Yi Chunliu is like a simple human being: "That's how she feels to me." ”
Jiang Ke was about to laugh: "Indeed, how long can the two of them stay in the same room, it is appropriate to have feelings." ”
Mei Lianghe pointed at Jiang Ke: "Don't talk nonsense, I'm here to investigate the case." ”
Jiang Ke didn't speak, and the silence at the moment could better express his attitude.
Mei Liang may be calm on the surface, but he is flustered in his heart: "You have to believe me, I only betrayed my hue to investigate the case!"
Juecheng smiled, "We believe in you, yes." ”
Seeing that Juecheng also affirmed himself, Mei Liang suspected that they were perfunctory to him.
Jue Cheng thought of Cao Bo: "Why can Cao Gongzi hold on for so long?"
Jiang Ke thought that Yi Chunliu was willing to jump off the turbulent river for Cao Bo, if she was just an ordinary human being, this courage should be unmatched.
Qiu Sheng sorted out the whole thing and made a bold conjecture: "If we jump out of this incident, Yi Chunliu is just a singer, and the male guests who came into contact with her have all died, and Cao Bo has stayed until now, she will know that the two of them cherish each other, so leaving him alive is continuing to torture the two of them, or she is taking revenge on Yi Chunliu." ”
Mei Liang may feel that what Qiu Sheng said makes sense: "All the evidence points to Yi Chunliu, and she doesn't have time to commit a crime, doesn't this push public opinion to her?"
Jiang Ke asked rhetorically: "Is it possible that the thief shouted to catch the thief?"
Everyone thinks that there is indeed such a possibility, and Yi Chunliu will not be simple, whether it is someone else who tops her or she does it herself.
Jue Cheng proposed: "Why don't we investigate Yi Chunliu tomorrow." ”
Jiang Ke nodded: "It's true that we know too little. ”
There was a faint sound of footsteps at the door, and Juecheng said, "Who's over there." ”
Lord Cao poked his head out: "Madam, is she gone?"
Mei Lianghe smiled: "Mrs. Cao has been gone for a while. ”
Master Cao boldly came out: "I just don't want to quarrel with her." ”
Jue Cheng looked at Lord Cao: "My lord came to see Master Cao?"
Master Cao looked into the room: "Yes, how is Bo'er?"
Jue Cheng said to the worried Lord Cao: "Master Cao's health is fine. ”
Master Cao finally put his mind at ease: "Then I'll go back to the room first, and you guys will rest early." ”
Jue Cheng called out to Lord Cao: "We want to investigate Yi Chunliu tomorrow, I don't know Lord Cao..."
Of course, Lord Cao understood what Juecheng meant, and took off the token from his waist: "See this thing by seeing this official." ”
Jue Cheng took the token with both hands: "Thank you, Lord Cao." ”
Lord Cao wanted to speak and stopped.
Jue Cheng saw that Master Cao had something to say: "My lord, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”
Master Cao said: "I have also sent someone to check the origin of Yi Chunliu before, she was sold into the clutch garden since she was a child, most people know her, saying that she is a demon is also jealous of her talent and beauty." ”
Jue Cheng understood that Lord Cao didn't want them to run in vain: "I know, my lord, don't worry, we will pay attention." ”
Lord Cao nodded and looked at the dim light in Cao Bo's house, he had been afraid of the dark since he was a child, so he turned around and left.
Jue Cheng must have a lot of helplessness when he sees Lord Cao.
Everyone talked about the plan in the courtyard until dawn.
Hui'er entered the courtyard and saw that they were still in the courtyard: "Master, why are you still in the courtyard, go back and rest quickly!"
Lingdu was already paralyzed on Mei Liang or his body.
Mei Liang picked her up carefully: "Then let's go back first." ”
Jiang Ke looked at the sleeping Lingdu very comfortably.
Qiu Sheng patted Juecheng, who was asleep on the table: "Let's go back." ”
Jue Cheng looked at Qiu Sheng with sleepy eyes and was full of energy, it is not a person from the spirit clan, his body has not yet fused with demonic energy, and he really can't stand it.
Qiu Sheng looked at Juecheng in a daze: "What do you think, go back to sleep quickly, and you will have to investigate the case later." ”
All five of them walked out of the Academy.
Hui'er's eyes darkened, and she looked into Cao Bo's house.
Everyone went back to wash and rest for a while, and then gathered in the hall, and followed Lord Cao, who happened to go out to the court, out of the house together.
Jue Cheng waved goodbye to Lord Cao, and the five of them walked in the direction of the Lihe Garden.
Mei Liang or the three of them have already met Yi Chunliu, this time they went to ask others, Jue Cheng and Qiu Sheng will meet Yi Chunliu again.
Mei Liang or disguised himself as a bearded man, while Lingdu was a white-faced scholar.
Mei Liang or looked at Lingdu's dress: "Not bad, half as handsome as your brother!"
Lingdu straightened the clothes on his body: "Hasn't Jiang Ke come out yet?"
Mei Liang or shouted inside: "Little guest, how are you grinding." ”
Jiang Ke walked out slowly with his forehead on his forehead: "Where did you go to borrow this feminine dress." ”
Mei Lianghe laughed when he looked at Jiang Ke's dress, and when he took the clothes, he told Na Xiao Si that he wanted to wear the clothes of Xiaosheng in the Qinglou Guild Hall, but he didn't expect Jiang Ke to really put them on.
Jiang Ke was ready to go back and change into his clothes.
Mei Liang or grabbed the corner of Jiang Ke's clothes: "Don't go, let the uncle take a good look at you!"
Jiang Ke slapped Mei Lianghe's hand angrily: "You're looking for a fight, right?"
Mei Liang or pretended to be serious: "We are going to investigate the case and not to be more beautiful, can you be professional." ”
Jiang Ke really wanted to beat him to death: "Why don't you wear it!"
