Gu Xue wanted to stand up, but after kneeling for a long time, her body was already numb, and when she leaned forward, she was about to fall, but fortunately, she was quick and held it up.

Looking at the little maid who was crying, Lieyang's heart was like a knife, and he held her weak shoulder and said, "Xue'er, don't worry, I will investigate this matter thoroughly." ”

Immediately appease Gu Xue to continue to guard the spirit, no matter what, let Mrs. Gu be buried first. Lao Gu and other family members stepped forward to salute the scorching sun.

Not to mention today's three-gold funeral, spending ten gold to buy Gu Xue more than a month ago also solved the urgent need of the Gu family, and it must be grateful to Lieyang.

Lieyang gave Mrs. Gu incense, burned the paper money, and walked out of the slightly crowded courtyard of the Gu family. He was Gu Xue's main family, so Lao Gu ordered Gu Xue to come out to entertain, and Liu Jianlong naturally followed.

"Disciple Liu Jianlong, meet Gongzi!" His eyes were a little fiery, and he saluted the scorching sun respectfully.

Lieyang waved his hand, signaling that there was no need to be polite: "These days, thanks to you for accompanying Xue'er." ”

Liu Jianlong smiled humbly: "Where is the child, Miss Gu takes care of everyone's diet and life in Yueyang Tower, the disciple is very grateful, Miss Gu's matter is everyone's business." ”

said with some annoyance: "During the Lantern Festival, I originally wanted Miss Gu to reunite with her family, but Mrs. Gu suffered an accident - it was all my fault, and I should have insisted on sending Mrs. Gu home in person at that time." ”

Gu Xueyin gritted her teeth, and there was some self-blame in her lowered eyebrows, and she sobbed: "It was I who insisted on hiring a carriage to take my mother home, and this matter has nothing to do with you...... Woo woo, son, it's me who hurt my mother's ......"

"Okay, okay, Cher doesn't cry. Lieyang patiently coaxed, "This matter has to be blamed on the murderer, and it has nothing to do with you - look at you, your lips are chapped, don't eat or drink, if your body collapses, who will come to take care of me, what will I eat in the future?"

"Hmm......"

Gu Xue's tears fell down, and when she saw that Gongzi had taken the teacup, poured the tea and handed it to him, her cold heart was warm, and she hurriedly took it with both hands. She was so thirsty that she drank one in two sips.

Lieyang poured it on her again, smiling and comforting, "That's right." ”

Then he took out some delicate pastries from the void and let Gu Xue eat a few pieces before he put his mind at ease. didn't want to ask more, but Gu Xue was in a hurry to catch the murderer of her mother and tell the story of that time.

There wasn't much information available, but Lie Yang felt a little strange, and turned his gaze to Liu Jianlong: "How did you convince them and take Mrs. Gu away?"

Gu Xue also had questions in this section, and looked at Liu Jianlong puzzled.

It is not a normal phenomenon for strange men to go to other people's homes and take away other people's wives.

Liu Jianlong sighed slightly: "The disciple knows that Miss Gu likes my family's sugar cakes, so he specially brought some, and when they saw the packaging of Liu Ji's sugar cake shop, they believed a little." ”

Gu Xue nodded lightly, and said, "I once asked my father, and he said the same thing." Because when Gongzi bought Xue'er, he was outside Liu Ji's sugar cake shop. ”

That really can't be doubted about Liu Jianlong, he is nothing more than courteous and wants to please Gu Xue.

Gu Xue also knew that this matter was strange, and when she saw Lieyang's frowns, she hurriedly said, "Don't bother, son, you just came back from retreat, and you still have to meditate and cultivate." ”

After chatting a few words, Gu Xue still had a lot of affairs to do, Liu Jianlong came for a few days, was familiar with the Gu family's environment, and also went to help.

“......”

Looking at Gu Xue's busy figure, Lie Yang didn't feel good in his heart, but he was not good at solving the case, and he couldn't solve the truth of the murder case immediately. If it is true that some forces are used by Emperor Chen, Xue'er's enmity can only be counted on the head of the nineteenth generation of Emperor Chen!

Lu Yu pondered for a long time, deliberated repeatedly in his heart, and took advantage of the emptiness where the scorching sun stopped, entered the Gu family's courtyard, and found some relevant personnel to inquire.

Others are not only Lu Yu's identity, but only Lieyang's relatives and friends, so it is not surprising.

After dinner –

Gu Xue was still keeping vigil at home, and Mrs. Gu was out of the mountain the next day, which was the last day.

Lie Yang sat in the specially arranged seat, and had no intention of leaving. He knew very well that Gu Xue needed companionship the most at this time. Looking at the evening, Lu Yu repeatedly deliberated in his heart, and said: "This case may have a result." ”

"Huh?" Lieyang's pupils shrank, staring at Lu Yu, anxious, "Tell me quickly, who is the murderer?"

Lu Yu did not immediately say the result, but analyzed it step by step: "From many angles, this case is extremely strange, and it is almost impossible to start - but there are loopholes in the motive for killing and the method of throwing the body!"

Lieyang is not stupid, and can see some clues from many details: "What do you say?"

"Mrs. Gu was killed, not because some forces wanted to test you. Lu Yu was very sure, "Because Gu Xue is just a maid you bought with money, and she doesn't have a very direct interest relationship - instead of killing a Mrs. Gu who has no important relationship, it is better to spend more effort on other aspects." ”

It takes manpower and material resources to arrange any action, and those forces who secretly want to deal with the scorching sun are not idle, and usually do not make choices that are too cost-effective.

The murder of Mrs. Gu is basically not cost-effective.

But the specific motive is still uncertain. Lu Yu has no conclusive evidence and does not dare to draw conclusions. She chose to cut in from some angles that could be asserted, "And I already know the methods of hiding and throwing corpses!"

Lieyang's gaze flickered, moving from Gu Xue to Lu Yu.

The seven princesses of the blue wolf country have floating eyebrows like flying willows, and phoenix eyes are like stars. Joan's nose is delicate, and her lips are cherry blossoms. This is a face that looks so comfortable that you will never forget it after paying attention to it.

Lu Yu didn't sell Guan Zi either, his phoenix eyes were cold, he locked on to a figure in the courtyard, and said bluntly: "Gujia Village covers an area of only one hundred and ten meters, and almost every household in the village has a dog, and it is extremely difficult to hide the corpse - the only place where the corpse can be hidden......

Her eyes seemed to be able to speak, and just one look made Lieyang understand the meaning.

"This ......"

Lie Yang knew the place where Lu Yu was hiding the corpse, and he couldn't help but be shocked, "How is this possible?"

"I've just asked-" Lu Yu's words have always been reasonable, and without sufficient evidence, she can't make up her mind, "On the day of the crime, the two of them both temporarily went to other villages for something, and they were not at home! The suspect left the village early the next morning—they all said that he was a gambler, and there was no reason to work so diligently in the mountains after the Lantern Festival." ”

“......”

Lieyang could distinguish Lu Yu's determined eyes, and knew that she had some evidence, "But, there's no reason?"

"What's the reason...... Lu Yu was seriously suspicious, and he didn't dare to jump to conclusions, "I'm afraid it's on him." ”

Lu Yu's gaze turned to a young man beside Gu Xue: "You and I both have doubts in our hearts, why did a strange man take Mrs. Gu? ”

There must be something else!

Lieyang felt the same way, but that person's statement was not unreasonable, and it was difficult to determine until there was substantial evidence.

Lu Yu took a breath lightly, she was quite experienced in judging cases, so she naturally had an idea: "I heard that he is a gambler, just check his gambling debts after the New Year, and you will know!"

——

The poorer the village, the more gambling it became.

Regardless of the red and white celebrations, there will always be a large table of people gathered together to play the cards and play money, and the loudest shouting is not necessarily the dealer, but also the gambler who has placed a bet.

At this time, there were more than a dozen people gathered outside the Gu family's courtyard, and the sound of noise was endless, as if they were playing pai gow.

Lieyang looked for an opportunity to go over and inquire, his face became darker, and he said to Lu Yu: "Your speculation is right - that person paid off his debts a few years ago and used the remaining money to build a new house in front of him. But after all, I couldn't quit gambling, and within two days, I lost more than 30,000 copper coins!"

"Originally, it was delayed, but on the seventeenth day of the first month, he paid off his debts again!"

The sun glanced several times, and found someone in the crowd of gambling, and it was inevitable that he would feel chills. A careful calculation of the ledger shows that he has no ability to repay at all!

Lu Yu was in a completely bystander position, and the so-called bystander Qing, even though he knew that this matter was bizarre, he remained calm: "Then, nine out of ten are safe!"

The two discussed it secretly, considering that Gu Xue should not be in danger, there was no need to stay here all night. Lieyang approached Gu Xue at almost midnight and said, "Eleven entered the Valley of Tribulation alone, I don't worry, I have to go to him." ”

Gu Xue also knew that the valley was dangerous, and nodded: "That son, go home and rest, Xue'er will bury her mother tomorrow, and she will rush back to Yueyang Tower." ”

Lieyang's gaze panned, looked at Liu Jianlong, who was standing on the side, and ordered, "You have to worry more about this affairs." ”

Seeing that Liu Jianlong responded diligently, he and Lu Yu left Gujia Village and disappeared into the night.

——

The next day, when Gu Xue buried her mother and was escorted back to Yueyang Tower by Liu Jianlong, she really disappeared from the child, according to Xu Yan, the son took a few people and went into the robbery valley to rescue Yue Shiyi.

In fact, it is true that the case of Mrs. Gu's murder is urgent, and she must be secretly observed in order to grasp the evidence from the clues.

The person who murdered Mrs. Gu was very scheming, and he would not easily show his feet, and his tone was consumed by him, so it was better to put it aside and find a way to get Yue Shiyi back first!

This time entering the Valley of Tribulation, Lieyang brought the Seven Princesses of the Blue Wolf and the Commander of the Silver Wing Warhorse.

These two are not only powerful great cultivators, but they also have the experience of fighting in the valley, even if the current situation in the valley is complicated, they are enough to deal with.

Leng Qianshuang's injuries had not fully recovered, and Yu Fei was not suitable for the jungle, so she left the two of her in Yueyang Tower and gave some special tasks.

Maybe on the day he brought back Yue Shiyi, it was the time when the murderer showed his feet!

——

Let's say that Lieyang, Lu Yu, and Bang Cheng entered the valley of robbery, and they were personally seen off by the old general Cheng Yu. The white-haired flame general had already seen that the two people on the side of the young general were extraordinary, and he did not break them at that time, but carefully reminded: "Your Majesty wants to embarrass the young general, or there are already arrangements in the valley!"

"Major General, be careful!"
