Chapter 40: Zhu Tianxiang

Zhu Tianxiang struggled to get up from the wheelchair, but Shen Yi stepped forward to stop him.

Shen Yi smiled at Zhu Tianxiang, turned around and walked to the back of the wheelchair, and reached out to put his hand on the handle of the wheelchair.

Zhu Tianxiang was so panicked that beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he wanted to stand up with his hands on the chair, while saying, "Shen ...... Brother Shen, little brother...... The little brother really doesn't dare to be a ......."

Shen Yi pressed his hand on his thin shoulder and said, "Brother Zhu, it's okay, I'll push you into the house." ”

Zhu Tianxiang felt the warmth and strength of the hand on his shoulder, so he stopped struggling, sat back in the chair, and said, "Thank you...... Thank you, Brother Shen. It's all too slow, and I went down the mountain to get medicine, but I haven't come back yet. ”

The inside of the house is as simple as the outside. There is little furnishings in the living room, only a small table and two wooden chairs.

Zhu Tianxiang looked at Shen Yi and the other four people, lowered his head in shame, and said with a wry smile: "Please wait, I'll go inside and move the stool." ”

Hua Susu couldn't see it, grabbed forward, and said, "Zhu Er Gongzi, you are physically inconvenient, so I'll move the stool." ”

She was a polite person, and she didn't think there was anything wrong with it, so she lifted the curtain and walked into the inner room as she spoke.

Hua Susu rushed into the inner room, and everyone else understood her temperament and didn't feel abnormal.

The smile on the corner of Zhu Tianxiang's mouth suddenly disappeared, and his eyes widened. He was rejected since he was a child, and he was accustomed to not being close to people, and suddenly saw Hua Susu enter what he regarded as a private place, as if someone had rudely broken into his hidden heart, and he was terrified, his lips trembled, his hands clenched into fists, and he was speechless.

Shen Yi saw his strange expression, and before he could ask, Hua Susu had already walked out with a wooden stool in one hand.

Seeing the cheerful smile on her face, Zhu Tianxiang slowly relaxed his nervous body, the corners of his mouth showed a smile again, and after looking at it twice, he felt that the beautiful girl in front of him was natural and refreshing, and there was something touching about it.

Hua Susu put down the wooden stool, his face was full of joy, and said to Zhu Tianxiang: "I didn't expect Zhu Ergongzi's carving skills to be so good. ”

Shen Yi glanced at Hua Susu and said, "What does Miss Hua mean?"

Hua Susu heard Shen Yi's question, his eyes immediately moved away from Zhu Tianxiang's face, looked at Shen Yi and said, "Brother Shen, I saw a lot of carved gadgets on the table in the inner room, which were vivid and interesting. She finished talking to Shen Yi first, and then looked at Zhu Tianxiang and said, "You carved it, right?"

Zhu Tianxiang first looked at Shen Yi, then at Hua Susu, and said, "I'm ashamed, it's all some little tricks I played when I was young, and I don't do it now." ”

Hua Susu still said happily: "If the second son Zhu doesn't mind, can you give me two?"

Zhu Tianxiang was praised by her, smiled shyly, her eyes sparkled, looked at Hua Susu and said: "It's rare that Miss Hua likes it, it's too late for me to be happy, please choose whatever Miss Hua wants." ”

As soon as he finished speaking, Hua Susu had already turned around and ran into the inner room again, and soon came out with two small carvings in both hands.

When everyone saw her so childish, they couldn't help but smile.

The two small carvings in Hua Susu's hand are both carved from hardwood, one is a little boy with two pigtails on his head, and the other is a puppy leaning against a tree and napping. Zhu Tianxiang himself is shy and melancholy, but these two small carvings are full of innocence and happiness, which makes people love, no wonder Hua Susu can't put it down.

Hua Susu handed the small carving in his hand to Shen Yi and said happily: "Brother Shen, you see, it's very cute, right?"

Shen Yi lowered his head and looked carefully, looked up at Zhu Tianxiang and said, "Brother Zhu is really a good craft." ”

Zhu Tianxiang's eyes turned around on Hua Susu and Shen Yi's faces, his pale face was red, and his breathing was a little short, and he said: "These are still the little brothers when they were young, they had nothing to do and no one to talk to, so they just did something to enjoy themselves, and they smiled." ”

Hua Susu said: "I wish the second son is too humble, your carving skills are really a little better than the old Li Tou carved for people behind my alley." ”

Shen Yi said: "Brother Zhu's craftsmanship is indeed far beyond that of ordinary craftsmen, do you think that the wheelchair you used to travel was also made by yourself?" ”

The smile on the corner of Zhu Tianxiang's mouth widened, and he said: "It was made by the younger brother, but unfortunately the technology is not refined, and it has to be pushed by people, so it can't run on its own." ”

Shen Yi smiled, took out something from his arms, put it on the small table, and said to Zhu Tianxiang: "Since Brother Zhu is good at wood carving, can you identify this thing?"

What he placed on the table was a delicate wooden cylinder. After wiping off the incense ash, the cylinder shows that the wood is tough and smooth, and the carving is delicate, which is really ingenious, and it is really hard to believe that this will be a murder weapon.

Zhu Tianxiang carefully picked up the cylinder, turned it over in his palm and looked at it, and said slowly: "This is the syringe that killed the eldest brother?" Although it is narrow, it has a precise structure, and it is completely made of wood, and only when every part is almost perfectly integrated can it produce such a strong launching force. ”

Shen Yi asked, "Brother Zhu can't do it at such a superb level?"

Zhu Tianxiang raised his eyes and looked at Shen Yi, his face was shy, and he seemed to be ashamed of his inability, and said: "This carver's craftsmanship is much stronger than that of the younger brother. Don't say that the younger brother has already given up carving, even if he has been working hard, he will never be able to make such a fine product. To carve such a delicate and powerful syringe requires not only incomparable dexterity, but also intellect beyond mortals. ”

Shen Yi sighed and said, "Brother Zhu is right, it's a pity that such a talent wastes his talent on killing people, which is really sad." ”

Zhu Tianxiang nodded again and again, it seemed that no matter what Shen Yi said, he would agree without hesitation.

Shen Yi looked around and asked, "Brother Zhu just lives here alone?"

Zhu Tianxiang was stunned for a moment, his face darkened, and he said: "This big house is often the younger brother alone, so I'm used to it." He raised his head and looked at everyone and smiled, there was self-deprecation and sadness in his smile, "Of course, I usually have my little scholar by my side, although he is quieter than me all day long, at least there is one more person." ”

Shen Yi said: "Brother Zhu and Zhu Zhuang are siblings, I don't know what you think about Zhu Zhuang's death?"

Zhu Tianxiang smiled again, but he was as sad as crying, and said in a low voice: "Although I am brothers with my eldest brother, I don't see each other at all throughout the year, let alone talk deeply, so the younger brother really doesn't know much about the eldest brother." ”

Although he didn't say it explicitly, everyone understood what he meant, and Zhu Tianwei despised this brother, and he was afraid that he would disappear out of thin air, and of course he didn't want to get close.

How many dark secrets are hidden under the glamorous appearance of this Zhujiazhuang? The ugliness of the physical appearance is not terrible, what is really terrible is the ugliness of the human heart, but as long as people live in the world, who dares to pat their chests and guarantee that they have never touched a trace of evil thoughts? As for human nature distorted by various selfish desires, Shen Yi has been handling cases for many years, and has he seen very little? Thinking of this, Shen Yi couldn't help but lower his head and sigh secretly.

Everyone thought for a moment, lowered their eyes, and said no more.

Although the sun outside was bright, it couldn't shine into the big house, the room was quiet and dark, and everyone's mood was even more depressed.

A person quietly walked in outside the door, thin and thin, with messy hair and a face, holding a large bag of herbs in both hands, it was Zhu Tianxiang's little scholar who connected to the machine.

Lian Ji rarely saw people in the big house, let alone so many people, and they were sitting and talking with their own masters. He was stunned for a moment before he turned his eyes, which were actually black and white, and glanced at everyone, but he hurriedly lowered his eyelids, lowered his head, and did not speak, like a frightened little animal, tiptoe along the wall and walked into the inner room. After a while, the house filled the house with the fragrance of bitter medicine.

Shen Yi stood up and said, "I wish my brother is inconvenient and have a good rest, and we will leave." He thought for a moment and said, "If Brother Zhu thinks of any clues, please let me know." ”

Zhu Tianxiang looked at Hua Susu and then at Shen Yi, with reluctance on his face, but today's income has far exceeded his expectations, so he said two words of thanks, and did not dare to say more.

When Shen Yi and his party left the big house, they saw the old housekeeper's blessing coming from a distance, and they looked anxious. When he came to Bai Xinyu, he said, "Third Miss, I found you, why didn't I think you would come here?"

Bai Xinyu saw that he looked frightened, and felt bad in his heart, so he also asked anxiously, "You have something to do with me?"

Blessing quickly glanced at the big house in the distance and said, "Yes, Madame is sick again, go and take a look." ”
