Lu Yu, Yu Fei, and Bang Cheng were still visiting Yueyang Tower for the first time, and they were all surprised when they heard such a change. Xu Yan made it very clear that Mrs. Gu did not "die of illness" or die normally, but "killed"!

Many people know that Yueyang Tower is the territory of the scorching sun, is Mrs. Gu's death because of the implication of the scorching sun?

The eyes of the blazing sun widened with copper bells, visible bloodshot jumped up, and the surging flame light fell with his breathing. He frowned, and ordered: "These people are my friends, if Yueyang Tower, Xu Yan, Tang Yu you are so entertained - there are not enough rooms at home, buy the house next to it, and then ask the craftsman to open it up and rebuild." ”

As he spoke, he handed out two golden tickets for them to use.

Xu Yan hurriedly took it with both hands, and when he saw the numbers on the golden ticket, his hands trembled. However, thinking that this was Childe's first test for himself, he had long forgotten his nervousness, and hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Childe, I will definitely arrange it properly!"

Lieyang was anxious, and after instructing the house, he breathed a sigh of relief before he said to Leng Qianshuang: "There is an inner and outer coat room upstairs, your body has not recovered yet, go up and rest first." ”

The house where Leng Qianshuang used to live has been converted into a chase shop and has become the residence of the three apprentices. As for whether she slept outside or inside, Lie Yang didn't care.

Ahem, the beautiful girl took the initiative to sleep in her own bed, do you care?

"Well, okay. Leng Qianshuang is very well-behaved now, and she listens to whatever Lieyang says.

Lieyang was about to go out as he spoke, and Lu Yu called him and said, "I'm good at tracking and investigating cases, I'll go with you." ”

This reason Lieyang can't refuse, not to mention that he also needs a strong enough combat force around him. Lieyang nodded and agreed: "Then there will be labor-Yu Fei, take care of Miss Leng." ”

looked at Bang Cheng again: "The safety of Yueyang Tower, please leave it to you." ”

——

Eighty miles west of the town, there is the mountain extension of the west foot of the valley, there is a continuous bamboo forest here, after the spring rain, it will be like a race to jump long, verdant and dripping, full of verdant and lush.

Gujia Village is in the middle of this mountain and bamboo forest, and the environment is very quiet.

Not long after the Spring Festival, it should be a festive village, but there are some knocking and beating mourning, along the mountain road into the village, not walking dozens of meters, you can see a small farmhouse courtyard, outside the courtyard door placed a half-meter-high wooden sign, with a brush to write "when the big thing".

The courtyard was only one meter high, surrounded by a bamboo fence, and a pergola was erected inside, and a straw mat was laid out in the white gauze tent, on which a body was parked.

There are younger generations wearing linen and filial piety, kneeling on the futon to keep vigil, and on one side of the table of the eight immortals, there are four musicians, playing a bleak mourning melody.

There are still soldiers in armor in the village, who are searching, Mrs. Gu died strangely, General Cheng Yu issued a death order, and he must find out!

——

Outside the bamboo forest, a snow-white flying wing swooped down, accompanied by a slight spatial fluctuation, and was contained in the void. Lie Yang was dressed in black clothes and white fur, and Lu Yu was accustomed to embroidered bamboo and white skirts, and they arrived at Gujia Village together.

There were soldiers patrolling at the entrance of the village, and when they saw two people, they went forward to inquire according to the usual practice. Many heroes are dressed like this, and everyone is surprised by the popularity of "South Yang and North Rain".

Who would have thought that the pair of men and women in front of them were really the famous scorching sun and land rain on the Stardust Continent!

Lu Yu has an identity tag for camouflage, so he is not worried. Lieyang took out the identity card of "Li Yang" and the token of the ranger general.

When the soldiers saw the token, where did they dare to stop it?

Lieyang and Lu Yu walked in quickly and came to the courtyard of Gu Xue's house.

"It was a blow to the back of the head and died...... "The scorching sun exerted the soul power of the Earth Xuan Shang Realm, and saw through the cause of death from a distance of ten meters. Mrs. Gu was covered in the body, and there was only one wound on the back of her head, which was fatal.

He remembered that day in front of the sugar cake shop, Mrs. Gu was worried about her daughter's appearance, and she didn't feel good for a while. It was her man who made the mistake, who owed a huge gambling debt and was forced to sell his daughter.

There is no need to doubt Mrs. Gu's feelings for Gu Xue, but such a mother was poisoned!

And her little maid, dressed in linen and filial piety, knelt motionless in front of the body. The eyes that were originally clear and translucent are now dim.

She seemed to have no soul, her expression was abrupt, and her eyes were sometimes scattered, sometimes converged. I always want to see my mother's smiling face when my vision is clear.

But through the bright white gauze tent, all you can see is the mother's pale face.

Gu Xue didn't know how many tears she had left, and after a few days and nights of sleeplessness, she tortured the originally energetic little maid to the point of being haggard, and she couldn't bear it at a glance.

“......”

Lieyang was very hesitant and didn't know how to face it, but he happened to see a big brother soldier who looked like a leader passing by, so he stepped forward to ask for advice. They are all generals in the establishment, and they quickly figured out the ins and outs.

On the day of the Lantern Festival, Liu Jianlong picked up Mrs. Gu from Gujia Village before sunset, and Mrs. Gu stayed in the town for one night, and on the morning of the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Hai drove a carriage to Huijia Village.

Zhou Hai said that he had witnessed Mrs. Gu entering the village with cloth and other miscellaneous items, but after visiting and investigating, no villagers saw Mrs. Gu return to the village that morning.

However, there were villagers who got up early to work and noticed Zhou Hai's carriage outside the entrance of the village. Perhaps it was the bamboo forest that made it impossible to see if anyone had come down from the carriage.

After careful investigation, in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village, we found traces of blood that had not been cleaned! In other words, the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village was the scene of the first crime!

Strangely, Mrs. Gu's body was found next to another road. It is more than ten miles away from Gujia Village, and it is not on the same road at all.

After Zhou Hai sent Mrs. Gu off, he immediately turned back and went to the villages in other directions to deliver the goods, all of which had physical evidence.

Extrapolating from the timeline, it can be ruled out that Zhou Hai threw the body - but it is not ruled out that Zhou Hai killed Mrs. Gu, and then other accomplices transported the body more than ten miles away.

Hearing this, Lieyang shook his head, and it was difficult to sort out his head.

continued to communicate, and learned that there were no other obvious targets to leave Gujia Village that morning, if Mrs. Gu died in the bamboo forest at the entrance of the village, how did the murderer throw her body more than ten miles away?

——

"What do you think?" Lieyang stopped at the entrance of the village, frowning in thought.

Lu Yu's thinking was lively, and he first tried to analyze: "Let's list the facts that can be determined first-your apprentice Liu Jianlong is paying tribute to Gu Xue. ”

It is not difficult to see that Lieyang's eyes found Liu Jianlong's figure, he was standing in the courtyard of the Gu family, looking at Gu Xue with pity.

"Zhou Hai has no motive for committing the crime. Lu Yu continued, "There is no time to throw the corpse." ”

"Mrs. Gu's body was not transported more than ten miles away on the sixteenth day of the first lunar month, but at an unknown time, the murderer completed the dumping of the body. Lu Yu's list doesn't seem to be anything new, but as he speaks, he always feels like he has a clue.

Lieyang took a deep breath and glanced at the bamboo forest: "This village is so small, and there are so many dogs in the village-hiding in the bamboo forest, I'm afraid it will be easy to find out, right?"

What kind of tricks were used to avoid the villagers?

Even if Lu Yu is wise, he is at a loss when he encounters such a strange homicide case.

"Perhaps......" Lu Yu pondered for a long time, and then tried to say, "There is a problem with our entry angle, and the motive of this case is not necessarily to deal with you"

"Huh?" Lieyang frowned.

The storm of the town gathered, all because of the scorching sun. After the meeting of Honglu Temple, many contradictions further fermented, and at this time, the murder that occurred in the robbery of the town, Lieyang defaulted to the actions carried out by a certain force against himself.

"If you don't deal with me, who is that again?" Lieyang looked at the Gu family's courtyard, and after Lu Yu's guidance, he had a guess in his heart, "Deal with Xue'er?"

What is there to deal with a fifteen-year-old girl?

Or was her father in gambling debts again, and was retaliated against by the creditor, so Mrs. Gu was killed?

When you think about it, the possibility is really big.

Lu Yu first arrived, and there was no evidence for a while, thinking that there were still logical contradictions in some details of the case, so he had to give up for the time being: "Your little maid is heartbroken, let's comfort and comfort first." ”

Lu Yu could see that Lieyang's friendship with Gu Xue was by no means an ordinary master and servant - I also knew what state Lieyang was in when he first arrived in the town, and it was all thanks to Gu Xue's company that he got through the initial difficulties.

"Hmmm......"

Lieyang sighed lightly, then straightened his clothes and walked to the front of the Gu family's courtyard.

A table was set up at the gate of the courtyard to collect some funeral gifts - Lieyang once went to the home of the fallen soldiers to mourn, so he naturally understood this set. Without hesitation, he took out three shining gold coins and placed them on the table in a stack.

He and Lu Yu walked around the village, which had already attracted the attention of many people, and they originally thought that they were just passing by, but they didn't expect it to be related to the Gu family.

Three gold coins are the expenses of ordinary people for a year or even a few years, so that the old man behind the table stared in shock: "Childe...... Dare to ask Childe's surname?"

Lie Yang pushed the three gold coins in front of the old man, and said softly in his mouth: "Li Yang." ”

He was so quiet that he shouldn't have gotten far away. But the funeral of three gold coins was enough to calm the people left and right and make the scene quiet.

Therefore, although the pronunciation of Lieyang is light, it makes many people hear it clearly.

In the midst of mourning, many people were talking about it—

"Is it Li Yang?"

"Isn't it the one who spent ten gold to buy Gu Sanmei?"

"I thought that Lao Gu was bragging, but looking at this situation, it turned out to be true!"

"Tsk, the daughter of the Gu family really doesn't know what shit luck she stepped on, and she was sold into such a good family. ”

After a few more words, many of Li Yang's deeds have been moved out again.

"By the way, Li Gongzi shouldn't be a crush on Gu Sanmei, right?"

"It's also possible, but if you look at the girl in white outside the courtyard, the lady who is most likely the main house of Li Gongzi - but then again, Gu Sanmei can be a concubine for Li Gongzi, which is also very good. ”

The gossip in the village has never been exquisite, even on top of other people's funerals, there are always people with long tongues. Gu Xue, who was described as haggard, had no intention of caring about him, and when she heard the words "Li Gongzi" and other words, she hurriedly listened carefully.

I heard the words "Li Gongzi gave three gold for the funeral" again.

Her long-kneeling body trembled slightly, trying to overcome the stiffness of her body, looking back, and sure enough, she saw the figure that she had been thinking about for a long time, and burst into tears in an instant: "Childe, Childe, you are finally here!"
