Chapter 109: Battle of Strength
The man in black clearly knew that Zhou Yi was not so easy to deal with, although he deliberately broke away from these Dao boys, but what did he mean deeply? Of course, he left some mistakes for him, if he could follow the step I set, this game of chess would already be alive.
Dividing line
I heard that someone committed suicide in Zhou Yi's residence, and it was at night, so scared that everyone didn't dare to go out, only Zhou Yi and Sima Chun rushed over.
At that time, Zhong Yu was uneasy in his heart, after all, Zhou Yi's key was taken by himself, and he hadn't found it until now, and he caught up with this incident again, which didn't seem to be a good sign. However, after this incident, she suddenly felt that Magpie was a shrewd person, if she hadn't solved the situation today, Zhou Yi suddenly asked that sentence, which really made her unable to deal with it. So he said to her euphemistically, "Thank you very much today!"
The magpie was very disdainful in his heart, but he still smiled on the surface, and said: "The girl is kind to me, please don't take these little things to heart." As he spoke, he lowered his eyebrows and said, "If the girl has any orders in the future, as long as the magpie can do it, she will definitely die!"
Zhong Yu listened warmly in her heart, because she was a few years older than herself, and when no one was around, she called each other sisters. The magpie secretly rejoiced, thinking that Zhong Yu had been firmly held in her hands, and a game of chess in her heart was slowly unfolding.
==***==
It was already the middle of the night, and Zhou Yi took a closer look at the pomegranate tree with a lantern, and immediately turned off the lights. Sima Chun then rushed over with a few Taoist children, and everyone lit lanterns, illuminating the night as bright as day.
Zhou Yi hurriedly said loudly: "I heard Hongyuan talk about this girl, she has been greedy for money since she was a child, but unfortunately she is cowardly and spares her life, she has stolen things hidden on her body, she must have had evil thoughts for a while, and she was timid and scared afterwards, so she apologized for her sin with death." As he spoke, he put his arm on Sima Chun's shoulder and whispered, "Let the Dao boys leave, it's not that simple." ”
"If there's something else going on, why not ......"
Before he could say a word, he saw Zhou Yi shaking his head slightly, squeezing his eyes to signal that he didn't need to say anything more. Sima Chun really didn't ask again, and according to his words, he said to the Taoist children: "Go back, if this kind of thing happens on the mountain, don't make a noise." Right now, the officials of the imperial court are still on the mountain, and if there is any misunderstanding, none of you will be able to get out of it!"
Zhou Yi also said casually, "Although she deserves it, after all, she has also served in Baihe Mountain for ten years, and this friendship should not be tarnished by these worldly evil words." ”
One of the Taoist children paused and said: "Childe's kindness, I empathize with it! You can rest assured, I am afraid that her affairs will not be stopped, but she is because of the changes in her family, and she can't stand the painful blow in her heart, so she embarked on this desperate road, and there will only be this one outside." ”
Zhou Yi nodded with satisfaction: "Well, this is the best, you can do it." Oh, by the way, the girl who first found her just now was frightened, so you'd better not disturb her again, and I'll let Miss Yun go over tomorrow to appease her. The others did what Sima Gongzi ordered, I don't say what this father-in-law meant, you can understand to some extent, we must not take any wrong step now. ”
"Understood, what should I do with this girl?"
"It's too late, you all go back first, and I'll let Hongyuan take care of this later." ”
The Dao boys ordered their lives to return, and the two of them were once again shrouded in this dead silence in the middle of the night.
Sima Chun had already guessed what he meant, and asked in a low voice, "Where are you going to take her?"
"At present, where can I best guard the wind?" Zhou Yi sighed, "I was a hard-working girl when I was alive, and when I was dying, I was still being put on this hat, which is really pitiful." ”
As he spoke, he cut off the white silk and carried the girl on his back and walked towards his yard.
Sima Chun was a little panicked in his heart, and asked in a low voice, "You don't really want to put her in your room, do you?"
"Brother pay attention, it's not that there is no leakage here," he said, and deliberately pretended to lower his voice, and said: "There is no way, now the people in the palace are still on the mountain, and this kind of thing happens, if it spreads to the capital, maybe people will say something about us." Therefore, it is better to settle down first, and wait for the people in the palace to leave tomorrow, and then carry her out for a thick burial. ”
As he spoke, he had already arrived in the courtyard, Sima closed the door casually, lit the lantern and followed him into the study, and asked when he entered the door, "Do you have any eyebrows?"
At this time, Zhou Yi breathed a sigh of relief and said to Sima Chun: "I have already seen that she was hung here after being killed." ”
Sima Chun was shocked, and said with his eyebrows: "How can you see it?"
Zhou Yi said: "Her face is slightly red, but she is not half bruised, it can be seen that she did not die of suffocation, so how could he have hanged here? If I am not mistaken, she must have been hit the head, and she was not treated for a short time, and her brain was bruised and died." As he spoke, he kept looking at the girl's face and the top of her head to examine it, but found nothing. "I deliberately turned off the lights when you came, so that people would think that we hadn't seen the details, so that I could have some time to find out about it. But it can't be too long, otherwise, it will be a matter of time before the grass startles the snake. ”
Suddenly, he found that there was a bulging blood bag in the back of the girl's head, and the clue was immediately locked, and it was this fatal blow that killed the girl!
Sima Chun gritted his teeth and said: "It seems that this is really not an ordinary homicide case, the murderer started from behind, he should take advantage of his unpreparedness!"
Zhou Yi stared coldly, and said faintly: "Only when the opponent is defenseless can the murderer make such a blow." According to my guess, there are two possibilities, one is that the two people did not know each other, and the murder happened randomly, and the other is that the two people knew each other well, and the girl who was killed was not in the slightest alert to the danger. ”
"Then which situation do you prefer to believe?" Sima Chun pondered, "At the beginning, how did you tell at a glance that she didn't commit suicide?"
"What do you say?" the corners of Zhou Yi's mouth raised slightly, "I didn't believe that she was hanged from the beginning, if she was afraid that the theft would be discovered, she could have thrown away these stolen things, people come and go here, who would suspect the head of a maid who has never been here? Even if this is the case, she has a certain death heart, why should she take these stolen goods with her body and leave herself with an unclean reputation?" Coupled with this blunt trauma to the back of her head, not only can we conclude that this is a murder case, but we can also lock in the suspicion that it was an acquaintance who committed the crime! Just imagine, what kind of deep hatred can a girl who has no quarrel with anyone have to make people take this step and go to great lengths to put a bad name on her?"
Hearing him tell the story, Sima Chun couldn't help nodding, and he suddenly answered, "So, is it possible that the other party just wants to kill her without prior premeditation......?"
Zhou Yi was startled, and said hurriedly: "This girl has some of the murderer's handles in her hands, and she was finally killed?"
"Yes, it's a possibility. But what could it be?"
"Yes, it must be, since ancient times, taking the risk of killing people is nothing more than these reasons, but to kill a weak woman who is powerless, except for extinguishing the mouth, it is difficult for people to suspect that it is vendetta!" Zhou Yi suddenly rummaged in his study, and after a while, he was suddenly stunned, and touched his hands into his arms, the key to open the bookcase was no longer on his body! Zhou Yi immediately had all kinds of strange speculations in his mind, but no matter which one it was, the result caused him to chill down his spine. At the moment, he didn't think much about it, and then he picked up a lantern and walked towards the pomegranate tree.
After a while, he hurried back, holding a key in his hand, and said with a look of astonishment: "Something big may happen!"
Sima Chun saw that he was holding a key, and he looked so nervous, so he asked, "Don't always scare yourself, what can this key mean?"
Zhou Yi didn't say a word, and hurriedly went to open the bookcase, flipped the letter to the lowest place, and found that the letter was still there. Zhou Yi half exhaled, still believing in his heart that the content of the letter was no longer a secret.
Sima Chun took the letter and read it carefully, only then did he be shocked like a dream, "You mean, Mr. Gongsun, there is danger!"
"That's right! These old gentlemen are incognito, and they are far away from the world in the dense forest outside Changsha City, so my brother didn't suspect the reason for this?"
"I'll tell you the truth, I've suspected it for a long time, but I live in a foreign country, and there are many things that I don't want to ask. But listening to what you said, the old gentleman is in danger now?" Seeing that Zhou Yi was in a hurry, he hurriedly persuaded: "Don't worry about it first, at present, we are only guessing, where did we find this key?"
"Not far from where she hanged, in a very conspicuous place. ”
Sima Chun listened, paced and thought about it, and said for a long time: "Be careful that this is a trap. If you think about it, the old gentleman has lived in seclusion in Changsha and has been safe for many years, then it is enough to show that those who want to find him do not have any clues, and the more anxious you are now, the more you will fall for others. ”
Zhou Yi was taken aback, hurriedly patted Keke's forehead, and paused: "Yes, I am concerned about the old gentleman, if I rush to go, I am afraid that I will lead the way for those who want to find him! ”
"En!" Sima Chun nodded and said: "The calm in Changsha is enough to explain everything, and now the other party is deliberately revealing this clue, just to lead you to be fooled." For the sake of the present, as if nothing had happened, and you never suspected that the secret of this letter had been leaked, the other party might show more of its feet. ”
Zhou Yi sighed silently, it seems that it can only be like this. But it's really puzzling to think about how your key could end up in someone else's hands for no reason. But if you think about it carefully, the only people who have come to him today are Zhong Yu and Magpie. It seems that things are a bit eyebrow-raising, and when I think about it again, Zhong Yu is the younger sister who I have been educated and raised since childhood, and it is categorically harmless to his heart, but the magpie is another matter. A chill flashed at the corner of Zhou Yi's eyebrows, it seems that this White Crane Mountain has never stopped the undercurrent competition!
==***==
That night, one of the Taoist children who was broken open by Zhou Yi quietly went out and rushed to the cliff of Xishan overnight to meet the man in black and told them how to do things before and after.
The man in black sighed, "Zhou Yi is not so easy to deal with, although he deliberately supported you, but what he did was indeed not what he said." I left him some mistakes, and if he can follow the move I set, the game will be alive. ”
After some emotion, he instructed the Taoist boy again, "The magpie will do more things in the future, but at the beginning of this time, you find the right time to tell her a few words, don't be touched by Zhou Yi, otherwise my excellent chess piece will be wasted!"
(Unable to calm down in the heavy rain, Zhou Yi is a little impetuous. To deal with more conspiracies, he must be calm ~ dear, good night, recommendation tickets and monthly tickets are smashed over!)
