Chapter 2 Roselle Chapter 21 are all suspicious
"What?!" Hu Buxi, who was sitting on the bed in yesterday's clothes, was shocked.
It was already dawn, and there were people coming and going outside, and it was very lively, but no one looked happy. After all, the sect master died overnight, and tens of millions of plans were all in vain in an instant, whether it was a servant of the Xiao family or a martial arts person, it was difficult to accept this.
"He-damn, yesterday's surname Xiao was so exaggerated, Lao Hu I still thought he couldn't die, and I drank a little too much when I was happy. How do you know that this kind of thing will happen when you wake up-" Hu Buxi slapped his thigh with remorse.
Zhao Wu'an, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, was noncommittal.
Someone knocked lightly on the door three times, then pushed it open. Qiao Xi, who was holding the sobering tea in his hand, immediately lowered his head when he saw Zhao Wu'an sitting on the edge of Hu Buxi's bed, and his cheeks were red.
Zhao Wu'an glanced at Hu Buxi with a little playfulness, walked out of the door without saying a word, and helped them close the door by the way.
That's right, Hu doesn't like such a man, and sometimes he really likes girls. As long as he corrects his undisciplined fault, it will not be difficult for Qiao Xi to live and die of his love.
Xiao Donglai was suddenly stabbed to death last night, which was almost a devastating blow to the Xiao family and the Heavenly Immortal Sect, and countless knights of the rivers and lakes who were originally willing to join the Heavenly Immortal Sect must have been shaken all of a sudden. I don't know how many people couldn't sleep all night last night, but Hu Buxi slept soundly.
Fortunately, the Meng family still has the scheming Meng Qianlei here, last night he went out to appease everyone and stabilize the form, but on the other hand, he immediately asked An Guangmao and others to take the government to block the four sides of the Xiao Mansion, and even Houhuayuan did not let go. On duty all night, he never let go of a person who went to the banquet last night.
Through such thunderous means, Zhao Wu'an also somewhat understood why he was able to become the head of the Meng family at a young age, and he also convinced several fathers and brothers in the clan.
Zhao Wu'an stood in the courtyard for a while, thinking carefully about what happened last night. After a while, the door of the An family's father and daughter slammed open, and An Qing, who was wearing a coat indiscriminately, rubbed her head and walked out, squinting and complaining: "Yesterday's wine was so strong......
Unconsciously, he actually walked over to Zhao Wu'an's side again. Although the two of them were already close to each other, it was really strange that An Qing could find his ability without even looking at it.
Zhao Wu'an pressed her head and said lightly: "Get dressed." ”
"Ah, you're so annoying!" An Qing put his head on him, "My dad was snoring over there early in the morning, and he couldn't wake up when he pushed it, I still want to sleep more!"
Zhao Wuan was helpless. An Qing didn't drink much last night, so she didn't have to be drunk to be light. After carrying her back to the room, An Guangmao immediately assigned the official officials to be on duty on all sides of the Xiao Mansion, and personally led the team to carry out the first shift.
"Your dad is a good dad, don't keep complaining. Although he knew that An Qing had no resentment in his heart, Zhao Wuan still wanted to add such a sentence to himself.
After saying that, he also planned to go back, after all, Zhao Jushi was still lazy, and in one day, if he was not lazy, he was preparing to be lazy. What's more, Xiao Donglai's death is worth scrutinizing, at that time, most people were at the banquet to testify to each other, and there should be very few people who left the banquet, but it had been a night, and he still couldn't come up with a clue.
An Qing suddenly grabbed him: "Wait!"
Zhao Wuan turned his head helplessly: "Haven't you woken up yet?"
An Qing nodded with difficulty opening her eyes, and the blood was almost rushing out: "I can't sleep in my room...... There's no one in your room, right?"
Zhao Wuan sighed: "I know, then you can sleep in my room." ”
Bringing the dazed An Qing back to the room, watching her fall lazily on the bed with a happy face, Zhao Wuan shook his head helplessly, turned around and closed the door. Leaning against the door, looking up at the blue sky and white sun.
Why did he encounter murder wherever he went? It was the same this time, he had tried his best to stay awake at the banquet, and even if not everyone could take care of it, he was able to keep most of the knights under his nose. Unexpectedly, the other party's spearhead was actually directly pointed at the sect master of the Heavenly Immortal Sect.
It's such a big stroke, it's simply the momentum of the clouds.
Just as he was coming out of his mind, someone approached him. Zhao Wu'an came back to his senses and saw that it was Meng Qianlei.
He walked five steps in front of Zhao Wu'an and stood still, hugged his fists and said, "I've seen Zhao Jushi." ”
Zhao Wu'an rubbed the corners of his forehead helplessly, and said with a wry smile: "I'm really famous." ”
Hearing this self-deprecation, Meng Qianlei smiled kindly: "Before Hu Zhutou went to the banquet, he introduced Your Excellency to me, saying that once he encountered something that he couldn't solve, he would come to Your Excellency. ”
Zhao Wu'an sighed: "Blame me, I didn't polish my eyes when I accepted my little brother." ”
"Zhao Jushi is too modest. Meng Qianlei took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Zhao Wu'an, and said solemnly, "My brother-in-law was killed last night, and my sister has been crying all night. The locations of all the knights who went to the banquet at the time of last night's crime have been recorded above. ”
Rao is Zhao Wu'an, and when he took the roll of paper, he couldn't help but be shocked by Meng Qianlei's memory. This person is not the only one who has the ability to never forget, but also has a premonition, when the fire in the East Courtyard has not yet broken out, he has already remembered the number of each person's seats, and he can still remember it after the incident, and he painted it all night, and did not show the slightest fatigue.
Meng Qianlei is really a capable person.
Zhao Wu'an opened the drawing paper. The painting paper is divided into four pieces by ink lines, recording the space of the banquet guests in the Xiao Mansion from south to north, and the high platform and the ninety-nine tables under the stage are drawn in detail one by one, and the people at the table, the people who jump on the high platform to toast or go crazy, and the people who gather in the open space to drink and reminisce about the old days, are marked one by one. Even Zhao Wu'an, who gave up his seat for An Qing at that time and stood between her and Hu Buxi, also drew it clearly, and the seat was not marked below.
"There is a circle at the bottom, which is sitting in the position at the time, and some people leave the table after three rounds of drinking, of course, including Zhao Jushi, who gave up his seat for the girl, is all standing. Meng Qianlei said, "By the way, there is also Miss Jiang, who has been playing the piano on the roof, and she also painted it." In the whole banquet, after the brother-in-law left, only a few people painted red circles. ”
Zhao Wu'an leaned closer to the drawing paper and looked at it carefully. Among the five people who left the table, Luo Guanhai almost never appeared from beginning to end, needless to mention; Yan Hong, who was the first to get up to toast, and Gu Hetian of the city faction had left the table for a short time after Xiao Donglai left; in addition, there was Nie Xinglu, who claimed to be looking for Luo Guanhai, who also left the banquet after Xiao Donglai left; finally, Jiang Caiyi, who was caressing the qin on the roof, left the roof to rest for a while after Xiao Donglai left.
Meng Qianlei was respectful, and Zhao Wu'an was not easy to refuse, so he said lightly: "Let me meet these five people separately." By the way, I suspect that the food that Xiao Donglai ate last night may have been poisoned, so please check it. ”
Meng Qianlei nodded and said, "Okay, I'll go find someone." ”
Outside the Xiao Mansion, there are already officials from the government who are closely watching at this moment, and Hu Buxi, who is sober, is also officially sitting in the atrium, taking control of these officials, and the murderers in the Xiao Mansion have no chance to escape.
Unlike the East Courtyard, which provided rest, Zhao Wu'an was sitting in the Listening Rain Pavilion in the West Courtyard specially arranged for him by Meng Qianlei at the moment, waiting for the arrival of the five suspects.
The first to come was Luo Guanhai. His hat was still square, his shirt was crumpled, and he was reluctantly brought to Zhao Wu'an by the Xiao Mansion's family, and sat down with a bitter face.
Before Zhao Wu'an could speak, Luo Guanhai frowned and said: "Zhao Jushi, you and I have never met, what kind of person Xiaosheng is, don't you understand? As early as in Hangzhou City, Xiaosheng knew that Zhao Jushi was a smart person who knew everything, and he was not like Xiaosheng who was confused and only read some subsets of scriptures and histories. Xiaosheng was framed by gangsters, and I hope that Zhao Jushi can see the light of day, and Xiaosheng will be innocent!"
Zhao Wu'an said dumbly: "I didn't say that you killed Xiao Donglai. ”
Luo Guanhai's face flushed, knowing that he was overreacting, he subconsciously looked away.
Zhao Wu'an smiled: "Let's talk about it first, where are you when Xiao Donglai was killed last night." ”
Luo Guanhai sighed twice, pressed his chin and thought about it for a while, and said cautiously: "Although Xiaosheng is a Confucian student, he also has pride in his chest, so it is inevitable to drink wine sometimes...... Ahem, it's inevitable to be out of balance. Yesterday, when I entered Xiao's Mansion, I was overjoyed to have a good taste of wine in the Mansion, so I was a little forgetful, and I drank heavily, and I didn't know it. When the sun went down and the banquet was about to begin, he woke up slowly, but his mind was in pain, and he knew that he could not go to the banquet, so he lay down again and rested for a while until he ...... Ahem, it wasn't until Miss Jiang came to knock on the door that she knew she was going to attend the banquet, so she followed Miss Jiang from the East Courtyard to the main hall. But Miss Jiang went to the roof to play the piano, and followed her to the first Xiaosheng to know that the route was different. Without an acquaintance in Xiao's mansion to lead the way, when Xiao Sheng walked back, he got lost again...... Fortunately, he finally met the servants of Sect Master Xiao and was brought back to the banquet, at this time he was already hungry, but most of the heroes drank heartily with each other, and Xiao Sheng devoured some leftovers alone, and he didn't feel very elegant, so he secretly went to the back kitchen, and then he had a full meal. As soon as I went out, I heard someone shouting to take away the water. Xiao Sheng followed the crowd to the front, and was accused by Nie Xinglu. ”
Luo Guanhai is worthy of being a useless scholar, and his words are long and useless, even so Zhao Wuan did not interrupt, listening intently, until Luo Guanhai finished speaking, he asked, "Jiang Caiyi came to call you?"
"Yes......" Nodding slightly, Luo Guanhai's face turned red again, "Ah, but maybe it's just that Miss Jiang didn't see me, so she thought that she couldn't let me miss the banquet......"
"Jiang Caiyi left a total of three times yesterday, and each time there was no more than one stick of incense. Zhao Wu'an said, "It should be the second time I left the table, I went to find you, right?"
Luo Guanhai nodded stunned, and then suddenly remembered something, and said in a low voice: "Zhao Jushi, don't hide it, I think Miss Jiang ...... Very suspicious. ”
"What do you say?" Zhao Wu'an's words were unwavering.
"When Xiao Sheng went to the back kitchen, he got lost once, ran to the bottom of the house where Miss Jiang played the piano, and happened to bump into Miss Jiang talking to someone, and even ...... There was also a quarrel. Xiao Sheng didn't see that person, but listening to the voice, it should be a very masculine man. "Luo Guan Seagod said mysteriously," but she didn't say it long, and Miss Jiang turned around and came back, apparently wanting to go to the roof, and Xiao Sheng was knocked squarely. Miss Jiang was also surprised, but thanks to her showing Xiao Sheng the way, Xiao Sheng found a way to the back kitchen. ”
"Is there anyone to testify to what you said earlier?"
"Yes! The servant who took Xiao Sheng to the banquet, Xiao Sheng remembered his face. A few cooks in the back kitchen should also remember Xiao Sheng!" Luo Guanhai swore an oath.
"Got it. However, you really don't know the way. When parting, Zhao Wuan said.
Luo Guanhai bowed down again in shame.
