Chapter 27 Death
"That's right!" Looking at the secret door of the secret room in front of him, Chen Yutian breathed a sigh of relief slightly, and looked at the surprised Mrs. Liu on the side: "I don't know if Mrs. knows about the existence of this underground secret room?"
Mrs. Liu shook her head: "I also found out today that there is such an underground secret room in the master's room. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Chen Yutian nodded, stretched out his hand to open the secret door, revealing a deep secret passage, I don't know where it leads. Gusts of cold wind blow from below, making people feel creepy.
Immediately, he took the first step, walked down the stairs, and walked briskly, followed by Gongsun and Xing Enming.
Chen Gong glanced back at Mrs. Liu: "Madam, you come with us too." ā
After speaking, he ordered the catchers on the side: "You stay here, no one is allowed to enter without my permission!"
The catchers hurried to be.
Chen Gong took Mrs. Liu and two maids down to the secret room.
In the secret room, Huo Yuanji and Lin Dao had already lit two fire folds, illuminating the secret room under the secret passage.
Chen Yutian looked around, the secret room was made of stone, not big, and it was empty, only a square table, which was placed alone.
Chen Yutian's gaze suddenly fell on the table, to be precise, on the two empty teacups on the table.
Seeing this, Ling Miaoyin asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
Chen Yutian didn't answer her, but his eyes flashed, and he smiled slightly: "Sure enough!!"
Huo Yuanji also noticed his movements, knowing that he must have figured out something, and asked, "What do you know again?"
Chen Yutian smiled slightly: "Everything! I know all the methods of Liu Chong's disappearance and the people who kidnapped him." ā
His voice was not high, but it was relatively quiet in the secret room at the moment, so as soon as this word came out, it fell into the ears of everyone present.
Suddenly, there was an uproar!
Mrs. Liu asked eagerly, "You said that my master was kidnapped, is this true?"
Chen Yutian smiled: "Of course it's true. Moreover, the murderer who kidnapped Hou Ye should also be a person from this mansion and a henchman of Hou Ye, otherwise, it would be absolutely impossible for him to know about the existence of this secret room that even his wife didn't know!"
Hearing this, Gongsun's eyes moved: "What do you mean...... In fact, Hou Ye did not disappear yesterday, but was hidden in this secret room by the murderer?"
Chen Yutian nodded and said: "Yes, this secret room is secret, and there are very few people who know about it, hiding Hou Ye here, it will definitely not be guessed, in this way, it can also explain the problem of Hou Ye disappearing out of thin air in the room." ā
As he spoke, he looked at Mrs. Liu and asked, "Madam, I wonder if there is such a person in the mansion who has disappeared since the disappearance of the Hou Ye yesterday?"
After hearing this, Mrs. Liu thought about it, and suddenly her eyes flashed, and she exclaimed: "Yes! There is indeed such a person!"
"Who is it?"
"Steward Liu Yi! This person is the master's henchman, and after the master's disappearance yesterday, I have never seen this person in the mansion again. ā
Mrs. Liu said slowly, with a hint of anger in her tone.
"It seems that the murderer should be this person. He is Liu Chong's confidant, and he can subdue Liu Chong without warning, and then bring him to this secret room to hide, so as to create the illusion of disappearing out of thin air. ā
"It's just that I don't understand, is Liu Chong really tied up here?"
Chen Yutian groaned, and his gaze slowly fell on the two teacups on the table......
On the side, Xing Enming heard Mrs. Liu's words, and immediately said: "It seems that the murderer should be Liu Yi." What do you think, teacher?"
He looked at Chen Gong on the side.
Chen Gong groaned slightly at this time, and then said slowly: "From the current point of view, this Liu Yi's suspicion is indeed very big, but whether he is the real murderer or not, it is still uncertain!." ā
Xing Enming was puzzled: "Master, the matter is so clear, why do you still say that the murderer cannot be determined?"
Chen Gong glanced at Xing Enming, did not speak, and shook his head slightly.
At this time, Ling Miaoyin suddenly came to Mrs. Liu and asked, "Madam, I don't know what this Liu Yi looks like?" Perhaps, if we can know the appearance of this person, we may be able to know whether he is the real murderer or not......
As soon as she said this, all eyes suddenly converged on her.
Chen Gong asked, "Why is this?"
"Because, last night, we saw the appearance of the real murderer!" Xue Tianhan stepped forward and said slowly.
As soon as this statement came out, everyone was shocked!
So Xue Tianhan told the real murderer in detail last night, Chen Gong listened to it, and sighed secretly, he didn't expect such a dangerous thing to happen last night.
After Mrs. Liu heard this, she immediately described Liu Yi's appearance in detail.
"This man is about fifty years old, with very small eyes, a goatee, a tall man, about six feet, not fat or thin...... That's right, he's a left-hander. ā
"Lefty ......"
Hearing this, Chen Yutian, Lin Dao, Xue Tianhan, Huo Yuanji, and Xue Tianhan suddenly frowned. Although the murderer they saw last night was indeed the same as Mrs. Liu's description, but when that person was fighting last night, his habitual hand was clearly his right hand?
What's going on?
"What's wrong?" asked Xing Enming.
Xue Tianhan frowned slightly, and said, "The appearance is indeed the same as what Mrs. Liu described, but the murderer we saw last night was a right-hander." ā
"What?" Chen Gong and Xing Enming were taken aback at the same time!
The same look, but with different hands, is this kind of thing possible?
The answer, of course, is no.
"Madam, are you sure that Liu Yi is a left-hander?" Chen Gong looked at Mrs. Liu and asked.
Mrs. Liu nodded emphatically: "Of course, I'm very sure!"
Chen Yutian frowned, and the corner of his eye inadvertently swept over the maid beside Mrs. Liu, and saw that the maid showed a trace of confusion in her expression after hearing Mrs. Liu's words.
"What's wrong with you? Do you remember something?" he asked.
The little maid glanced at Chen Yutian timidly, and then glanced at Mrs. Liu on the side with a slight tentativeness, and Mrs. Liu immediately said: "Xiaolian, if you think of something, just say it." ā
Xiaolian got Mrs. Liu's approval, nodded slightly, and said, "That...... Actually, I once saw Steward Liu writing with his right hand. ā
"Oh?" Chen Yutian's eyes flashed and he asked, "When?"
"About a few days ago, I remember that I went to the backyard to wash clothes because of my wife's instructions, and when I went back, I faintly saw Steward Liu writing something with a pen in his right hand, but I was in a hurry to send clothes to my wife, so I didn't pay much attention. Xiaolian thought for a moment.
Chen Yutian asked, "Are you sure he was using his right hand at that time?"
"Uh-huh!" Xiaolian nodded heavily, and then glanced at Chen Yutian with a strange expression, as if she was very dissatisfied with Chen Yutian and didn't believe her words.
Chen Yutian smiled slightly, but he didn't care.
However, what Xiaolian said aroused his interest.
"It's kind of interesting for a left-hander, but with his right hand......"
......
And at this moment, there was a noise above the secret passage, and a faint familiar voice came from it.
The corners of Chen Yutian's mouth twitched slightly.
Xing Enming was puzzled: "Why is Zhou Lin here? Shouldn't he be patrolling the streets?"
It turned out that the familiar voice from above was the head catcher who had a relationship in the Yuelai Inn, Zhou Lin.
Chen Gong said: "Maybe something happened, right? There are no more clues in this secret room, let's just go up and see, what's going on?"
After speaking, he walked directly along the secret passage towards the top, and Chen Yutian and the others hurriedly followed.
In addition to the secret passage, the group returned to the room again, and saw Zhou Lin respectfully beside a few catchers, and as soon as he saw Xing Enming appear, he immediately stepped forward and reported: "My lord, something happened!!"
Xing Enming frowned slightly, he could hear that Zhou Lin's voice was faintly eager.
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Lin hurriedly said: "I just received a report, and a corpse buried in the soil was found next to Nanjing Gi Road in the city, just like before, this time, the ghost military order was also found! After investigating the storage file, the deceased ......"
Speaking of this, Zhou Lin suddenly stopped and glanced at Mrs. Liu slightly.
When Chen Yutian saw him like this, his heart suddenly moved.
In the case of the ghost military order, it has been preliminarily determined that the target of the murderer is the six survivors of the Western Expedition that year, but as of now, except for Mu Lin, who is still unconscious in the Guogong Mansion, there is only one person left who is still alive in the world......
"Could it be ......" Chen Yutian's heart moved, and he had a hint of foreboding.
Xing Enming frowned and said, "What's wrong with the deceased, you go on!"
Zhou Lin looked at Mrs. Liu, and stopped talking a little: "The deceased...... It has been confirmed that it is Marquis Liu, who disappeared last night!!"
