Return to the carriage of Su Mansion.

Su Xiaochan said: "You have something on your mind."

Xie Chen smiled and said, "I knew I couldn't hide it from you."

Su Xiaochan said: "There is no need to hide your worries from me."

Xie Chen nodded and said: "That's natural."

Su Xiaochan asked again: "Do you think He Ming's judgment in arresting the head was wrong?"

Xie Chen said: "If you see it this way, you don't need to ask me why anymore, right?"

Su Xiaochan thought for a while and said: "Of course I dare not say that He Ming made the wrong arrest, but this case is indeed quite weird, and there are a lot of strange things in it."

She looked at Xie Chen as if he was thinking, and said no more.

"Why didn't you say anything?" Xie Chen was confused.

Su Xiaochan said: "I see you are deep in thought, so I don't want to disturb you."

"You keep talking."

"Okay." Su Xiaochan said, "Let's talk about the death of Boss Zhu He first. It rained last night, but the murderer was able to walk through the mud without leaving any traces. I guess his Qinggong skills are not bad. But Boss Zhu He is not good at martial arts.

For a master like the murderer, if he wants to kill Boss Zhu He, there is no need to poison him. Wouldn't it be faster with a knife and a palm?

But he had to poison him. Normally, people poison people, either to deal with enemies with higher martial arts skills, or to deceive others, but this murderer was unreasonable. He just plainly poisoned Boss Zhu He and left. At that time, Liu Fan

He would only suspect the servants in the house, but he insisted on leaving a blood letter to prove that he had been there."

Xie Chen nodded: "You are right. This is exactly what I am wondering about. However, there is one thing you said that is wrong."

Su Xiaochan asked: "What's wrong?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "What you meant just now is that the murderer is not a member of the family."

Su Xiaochan was surprised: "Do you think the murderer is a servant of the mansion?"

Xie Chen said: "Although I'm not sure, I'm afraid there must be people from the mansion involved. Otherwise, how could the murderer bring the blood needed for the blood book into the mansion? How would he dispose of the instruments? You need to know that writing such four big characters on the wall

, the blood required is not a small amount."

"Then you mean...the kitchen?" Su Xiaochan understood.

Xie Chen said: "That must be the case."

"But even so, we can't say that He Shaotou was wrong." Su Xiaochan thought for a while and said.

Xie Chen replied: "I said he was wrong, but that's not the case."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are you sure that Zhu He really doesn't know martial arts?"

Su Xiaochan said seriously: "Boss Zhu He is also doing business on the Western Silk Road. Everyone in Hangzhou who is doing business on the Western Silk Road has dealings with our Su family. Although I never interfere in my family's business, I still do

I’ve met him several times, and according to my observation, Boss Zhu He is really an ordinary person who doesn’t know how to do martial arts.”

Xie Chen shook his head repeatedly: "This is wrong. I dare say that this boss Zhu He is not only good at martial arts, but also a very powerful person."

Su Xiaochan was surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Xie Chen said: "As I said just now, the more powerful the person with martial arts, the more violent the poison will be."

"Why didn't you tell Mr. He?" Su Xiaochan was even more confused.

Xie Chen frowned and said: "That's why I just asked He Ming whether Boss Zhu He knew martial arts, but he categorically answered no. In this way, it's hard for me to say. You must know that he is not you, so why Ming

His eyesight is absolutely impossible for a martial arts practitioner to pretend in front of him."

"Could it be that you were wrong?" Su Xiaochan couldn't figure it out again.

Xie Chen said: "My medical skills are absolutely impossible to make mistakes. Just like He Ming believes in his eyes, I also believe in my medical skills."

Su Xiaochan was a little annoyed: "Then what's going on? You can't be wrong, and he can't be wrong either. Does this boss Zhu He know martial arts?"

Xie Chen saw the angry expression of the girl next to him and thought it was cute: "This is what I say is interesting about this case. By the way, there is another point. He Ming said that the murderer left blood words just to confuse the public, but I don't see it that way.

."

"You think this is a vendetta?"

"It's hard to say, at least on this point I don't have any evidence. I can only say that I think it would make sense if the murderer was a vendetta."

"Explain what?"

"Zhu He was not weak in martial arts, but there were no signs of a fight in the room after his death. Therefore, the murderer must be someone he knew."

"good."

"Then think carefully about this scene. Last night, Zhu He was alone in the bedroom, but did not sleep because he was waiting for someone."

"Who are you waiting for?"

"The person who killed him. Of course, it is impossible for Boss Zhu to know that the other person is here to kill him. He waited for a long time and may have become impatient listening to the sound of rain outside, but at this time, the person came.

The visitor walked into the house, and the two of them didn't know what they said. Then, the visitor took out poison, and Boss Zhu He took the poison. The visitor used the prepared blood to write "Blood debt must be paid with blood" on the wall.

Then he walked away."

Su Xiaochan immediately retorted: "How is this possible? If boss Zhu He is said to be very powerful in martial arts, how could he allow the other party to poison him? Your story doesn't make sense at all."

Xie Chen praised: "By the way, this is the biggest doubt. How did this person make Boss Zhu He willingly take poison."

Su Xiaochan thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe, mixed in the wine?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "That's not possible. There is no alcohol in the room."

Su Xiaochan argued: "Maybe someone came and took it away together."

Xie Chen said: "I'm not good at Qinggong, but your Stepping on the Snow and Red Dust is the best Qinggong in the world. Are you able to carry a bowl of blood while also carrying a pot of wine and wine utensils without a trace?"

"

Su Xiaochan pondered for a long time: "I'm afraid it's not possible. It's only possible for a master to do such a heavy lifting."

Xie Chen asked further: "How many people in this arena are capable of equaling the Qinggong skills of Senior Danqing?"

Su Xiaochan thought for a while and could barely count a few people, but those few people could never be the murderers.

Xie Chen continued: "That's it, so I'm afraid that's how the poison is eaten directly."

"But who would be stupid enough to take poison?"

At this time, the carriage stopped.

Xie Chen lifted up the curtain and got out of the car first, then stretched out his hand to help Su Xiaochan get out.

"Yes, this is the crux of the problem. As long as we can figure out why Boss Zhu took the poison on his own initiative, then I think this case can probably be solved."

With that said, he walked into the lobby.

Su Xiaochan was surprised and said: "You plan to continue investigating? I thought you never liked to care about these things."

Xie Chen turned his head and glanced at her: "I really don't like to care about these things, but once I know the beginning, there is no way I don't want to know the outcome."

Seeing the confused look on Su Xiaochan's face, he had no choice but to continue explaining: "It's like when you are listening to someone tell a story in a teahouse, and you get excited when you hear it, but the storyteller says, 'If you want to know what happened next time, listen to the explanation.'

,what will you do?"

"Of course I would like to know the follow-up." Su Xiaochan replied.

Xie Chen nodded: "I am the same, but I am probably more persistent than ordinary people. Just like before, I heard a story told by a scholar in a teahouse in the capital, about a hero who broke into a place full of rebels.

After the tower of the hidden weapon mechanism disappeared without a trace, I wanted to know the follow-up of the story no matter what. So, I waited in the teahouse for three full days, only to find that the storyteller was missing."

"Then what?" Su Xiaochan asked.

"After some inquiring, I found out that the storyteller was seriously ill and had hired a doctor, but he didn't think he was going to die. When I heard this, I thought, how could this work? How could you die before I heard the ending of my story? So I went straight to him.

Treat him at home."

After hearing this, Su Xiaochan ignored the etiquette and burst out laughing: "What happens after that? His illness must be cured, right?"

"Of course it's fine. You've always known that when I treat someone, I have to ask them to agree to a condition."

"Your condition is to let him finish telling you the story?"

"Of course it is like this, but who knew that the storyteller actually told me that he had not thought about whether the knight would die or live in the end."

After hearing this, Su Xiaochan laughed so hard that she couldn't stand up straight, not caring about her own appearance at all.

"But I can never allow someone to default on his debt. So I locked him in a room and only gave him food and drink. Finally, I locked him up for seven days. He finally figured out the follow-up to the story. After hearing this, I let him go with satisfaction.

"

Su Xiaochan commented: "You are the only one in the world who is persistent."

Xie Chen didn't care: "That's exactly it."
