Chapter Nine A Female Corpse Hanging from the Roof Beam
ps: Bolong’s New Year’s Eve dinner is now, so I’m really embarrassed to update it now, but it will still be later than 4th today.) At the same time, Bolong is here to wish you all a happy Year of the Snake.
May all go well with you
When he returned to the wing room, Yuan Haiyun did not ask Zhengyao much, but lay on the bed again and got up and went back to sleep.
As for Zhengyao, he did not do what he said, but scooped out the letter Liu Yan gave him again.
Sitting at the table, scooping the letter Liu Xian gave to him in his hand, Zhengyao couldn't help but murmur: "The fire in the Li Mansion occurred on February 15th, and I had already left Shaanxi at that time
Looking for the Pearl of Canghai. According to the second brother, no houses around the Li Mansion were caught fire except for the Li Mansion. It was definitely not a accident in the sky fire. It should have been done by someone on purpose. But no one saw who set the fire.
I don’t know what the purpose of the arsonist is. Is it just that I have a grudge against our Li family?"
Now Zhengyao has no idea about the fire in the Li family, he only knows that it is not as simple as a accident. Zhengyao also thought that it was the cause of the Li family's enemy, but in his own impression, the Li family did not seem to have no
What a special enemy? After all, a family like Zhengyao that fled here will basically not deliberately make enemies with others. Moreover, Li Chengfeng has never mentioned to Zhengyao who would be the enemy of the Li family before.
, so this possibility is really not big.
If it is not an enemy, then it may be for some reason. For Zhengyao, the one who has the most connection with the Li family is that the Li family is the descendant of Li Jinglong. Li Jinglong and Jianwen Mibao have a great relationship. After all,
It is very likely that the motivation for setting fire is Jianwenmibao.
Of course, Zhengyao didn't think so before, but what happened recently forced him to associate it. After putting it together, he found that this situation was somewhat consistent.
However, this is still a guess from Zhengyao after all, and there are many places that I can't understand for the time being. If it was really for Jianwen Mibao, why would you set fire? Are you afraid that there will be any secrets in the Li family?
Then he wanted to destroy the corpse? Or did he get entangled with Li Chengfeng at the time of Li's mansion. In the end, he did not do it again and again?
"it hurts--"
Zhengyao suddenly had a headache, but he finally stopped thinking.
Turning back, Zhengyao looked at Yuan Haiyun next to him, and saw that Yuan Haiyun was sleeping like a dead pig, and even started to snore. He couldn't help but make Zhengyao shake his head: "This Haiyun can really sleep."
Zhengyao slowly put away the letter, then got up and walked to the window, opened it, and a cool breeze hit him, feeling extremely comfortable.
After breathing a deep breath, Zhengyao leaned out of the window.
Zhengyao lives in Room No. 5, which is close to the stairs. After opening the window, all he can see is the inn backyard.
Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs. Although the inn is relatively small, the things inside are still rich. In addition to the wing room for people to rest, the hall for people to eat, and the private room, there are also the front and back yards of the inn.
The front yard is the open space in front of the inn gate, with flowers and plants in it, and some simple facilities for exercise. The back yard is the inn kitchen, where vegetables grow and employees rest. Compared with the front yard, only
It wasn't the time to cook, but the backyard was much quieter.
The drizzle was still floating. The vegetables planted in the backyard seemed more vigorous and vibrant under the drizzle. The Buddha could see the generation of bubbles on the wet leaves. The mind was endless.
Zhengyao couldn't help but sigh. If it weren't for the important matter, Zhengyao might have planned to stay here for a few more miles to see other scenery around him.
"Huh? That old man. Why did he run to the kitchen?"
At this time, Zhengyao suddenly found that the old man with a numb face slowly walked into the backyard, and the figure looked very sneaky.
"Let's take a look"
Zhengyao made up his mind that he was idle anyway, and the old man was very weird, so it was OK to learn about it yourself.
He gently closed the window and saw that Yuan Haiyun was still sleeping heavily. Zhengyao did not wake him up, but walked out of the house alone.
After going downstairs and coming to the hall, I saw that the shopkeeper was the only one who settled the accounts at the counter in the hall. As for the waiter Arong, I don’t know where he went.
"Oh, Mr. Mu, why are you here? Isn't it time to have lunch yet?" Seeing Zhengyao go downstairs, the shopkeeper immediately greeted with a smile.
Zhengyao did not use his real name to check in, but used "Muzhi" to replace Su's own name. Muzhi was homophonic with "Muzi", which is the character "Li", which is also considered a temporary trick by Zhengyao.
Although few people know the name Li He, many people know his real name in Shuzhong, so Zhengyao decided to change his name so that his identity will not be exposed for the time being.
Zhengyao slowly walked to the counter and said, "That's right. It's nothing to do when it rains anyway, so he decided to come down and take a look. By the way, I just saw the old man who called himself the grandfather's grandfather headed towards the kitchen.
What are you going to do?"
"Is that so? I didn't pay attention. I guess the old man was stunned and went in the wrong direction. Haha." The shopkeeper said distractedly, as if this was not a big deal.
"Oh." Zhengyao said lightly, couldn't help looking towards the kitchen, and then said, "I'll go and see the old man. It's rainy that day. If you fall down in your backyard, then
In trouble.”
"Well, then I'll help you take a look." The shopkeeper said gratefully, and he had basically never left the abacus in his hand. I don't know if there are really so many accounts to settle.
Zhengyao nodded, stopped talking, and walked straight to the backyard.
The old man with a numb face was very strange and had to attract Zhengyao's attention. When he came to the kitchen, he was afraid that it was not as simple as taking the wrong path. Therefore, Zhengyao wanted to see what the old man was going to do.
The ground was a little slippery, and Zhengyao had to walk lightly, so for a very short distance, Zhengyao also walked more than thirty steps.
The kitchen door was closed at this moment, but the old man with numb face disappeared.
In response to this, Zhengyao couldn't help but say to himself: "Why is there no movement inside? What did the old man want to do? Could it be that he really fell down inside."
Thinking of this, Zhengyao immediately pushed open the door and walked into the kitchen.
When he walked into the kitchen, Zhengyao began to look around, but because it rained and the weather was relatively dim, the kitchen was dark without a fire, and Zhengyao could not see clearly the situation inside.
"Tick"
Zhengyao had just taken a step when a drop of cold liquid dripped directly from the roof on Zhengyao's cheek.
"Is the kitchen leaking?" Zhengyao curled his lips and couldn't help but subconsciously look at the roof of the beam.
"What?"
When Zhengyao just looked up, he suddenly noticed that a pair of big eyes staring at him, and at the same time, a drop of cold liquid dripped on Zhengyao's nose.
"Blood is blood"
Zhengyao was shocked by this scene, and he sat directly on the ground.
Then Zhengyao rubbed his eyes and looked at the beam again—
"Hongyu? It's Yan Nanfei and Bai Rushui's daughter Hongyu"
Zhengyao opened his mouth wide and couldn't help but take a breath, his whole body became dull in an instant
At this time, a female corpse was hanging on the beam of the room. Her eyes were wide open and her seven holes were still bleeding. Zheng Yao also knew this female corpse, which was the daughter Hongyu of Yan Nanfei and Bai Rushui.
Someone died
Zhengyao's mind was blank, leaving only this remaining message.
