"I have seen the alley where the incident occurred," Xu Zun explained to everyone, "the alley is not very deep, and although it is secluded, no one can guarantee that there will be other people in the alley when the incident occurred.
"Imagine this, if you were a robber and were squatting on the roof for a day, but when Miss Lu's sedan entered the alley, you found other pedestrians nearby, would you still take action?
"Of course, this is just one of the doubts.
"According to Miss Lu's entourage, they unanimously claimed that they were attacked by a group of men in black." Xu Zun continued, "But in broad daylight, the gangsters were masked, which may explain why wearing black is a bit silly.
Missing?
"Continuing on, the two guards at the scene said that they were attacked by a hidden weapon and fell into coma, so they were taken over by the gangsters.
"However, the two bearers and the maid said they were knocked unconscious by the gangsters." Xu Zun shrugged, "If I were a gangster, since I have such a powerful hidden weapon, why not stun all five of them with a hidden weapon?
?
"Two guards showed me the pinholes on their necks where they were attacked. The pinholes were basically flat. When the gangster attacked from the roof, shouldn't the pinholes be diagonally downwards?
"Of course, there are still some problems, such as the position of the five people at that time," Xu Zun said. "The two bearers were naturally carrying the sedan in tandem, but both of them claimed to have seen the man in black.
.
"The maid was standing next to the sedan chair and said she saw a few dark figures. How many gangsters would it take for her to see a few dark figures?
"The last point is Miss Lu herself," Xu Zun added, "Although Miss Lu is a woman, she is heroic and martial. If she is really attacked by gangsters, she will definitely rise up to resist.
"But I checked the sedan and there were no signs of a struggle.
"Therefore, all of this points to the possibility that these people are collectively lying, and this kidnapping is most likely planned by the young lady herself!"
oh……
After listening to Xu Zun's analysis, everyone nodded and expressed their admiration for Xu Zun.
In the anxious situation at that time, almost no one doubted these witnesses, let alone thought that they would dare to collectively tell a big lie.
"These servants are really capable!" Yuan Xingtai said from the side, "Aren't they afraid of being punished by the Marquis for doing this? Miss Lu is still a child, but they are all adults, so they are all confused?
"
"It is precisely because of this," Xu Zun said, "that I asked Mr. Hou to check the background of several of them. They have followed Miss Lu for many years, are loyal, and have received her favor. It is very likely that they will obey Miss Lu!
"Take the maid as an example. We found out that the little maid's father was seriously ill and all the money for the medical treatment was paid for by Miss Lu.
"The bride price for one of the bearers to marry was also paid for by Miss Lu. The others all received similar favors.
"But..." Xu Zun glanced at Yuan Xingtai, "Captain Yuan was wrong about one thing. These servants are not following the young lady in their confusion!"
"This..." Yuan Xingtai was stunned for a moment, not understanding what Xu Zun meant.
"Oh..." Li Yan, the governor, suddenly thought of something and said hurriedly, "Since Miss Lu planned this kidnapping herself, then Miss Lu definitely did not do it on a whim, right?"
"Yes," Huo Anu asked, "Master Xu, why does she have to do this?"
"Haha..." Xu Zun smiled slightly, "Originally, last night, I had already gotten a glimpse of Miss Lu's secret. I could have implemented the plan that night and found Miss Lu!"
"Yes," Huo Anu asked, "but you delayed it for another day. Why?"
"Because I want to know," Xu Zun said calmly, "What is Miss Lu's purpose?"
"Oh...I know!" Zhao Yu raised his hand and replied, "Miss Lu pretended to be kidnapped, just to use the power of her disappearance to find that Lu Xiaofeng!"
"Oh..." Li Yan glanced at Tai Min behind him, nodded and said, "Miss Lu also wants to use this incident to expose the 17 cases of missing girls in Shangyuan City!
"Taimin," he scolded Taimin, "do you understand now? What bad consequences have you caused by not reporting your knowledge!?"
"Yes..." Taimin quickly lowered his head and admitted his mistake, "I know my guilt due to my humble position..."
"Huh..." Li Yan took a deep breath and said calmly, "But fortunately Xu Tixing found Miss Lu. Now, I finally feel more at ease."
Hearing Li Yan's words, Xu Zun's mood was completely opposite. Although Miss Lu was safe and sound, the real case seemed to have just begun.
"Jiying," Li Yan came to Xu Zun and praised him, "this time, it's really..."
Unexpectedly, just as Li Yan opened his mouth, the shrill voice of the housekeeper of the Hou Mansion came from the door:
"Xu Tixing...Xu Tixing!?"
Li Yan had no choice but to shut up and turn his head to look along with everyone.
But I saw the housekeeper quickly came to Xu Zun, bowed and said: "Xu Tixing, please come with me, the Marquis has invited you!"
oh……
Xu Zun glanced at the housekeeper and already understood in his heart that it was the Marquis who invited him, but in fact, it was the young lady who invited him.
Because Miss Lu has said before that she wants to meet the person who exposed her plan!
"grown ups……"
At the scene, only Zhao Yu and Huo Anu were most worried about Xu Zun's safety.
The two of them stepped forward together, meaning they wanted to accompany Xu Zun.
However, Xu Zun smiled and waved his hand, and then followed the butler out of the reception hall.
What surprised Xu Zun was that he thought he would be invited into the palace of the Marquis, but unexpectedly, the housekeeper actually took him back to the previous garden.
But I saw the Marquis himself and Wei Beihui standing at the gate of the garden, pacing back and forth, looking anxious.
"Xu Tixing," Lu Jinlong immediately stepped forward when he saw Xu Zun arriving and said, "Please, please give me some advice!"
"What?" Xu Zun was confused.
The housekeeper hurriedly pointed to the rockery and said:
"Xu Tixing, Miss Lu is waiting for you in the rockery! She won't leave until she meets you once. Please advise our lady if you are troubled!"
"Please!" Mr. Hou actually gave Xu Zun a salute.
Looking at Mr. Hou's anxious look, he didn't know whether he was worried about his daughter or because the weather was too cold.
oh……
This is actually the case...
Through previous investigations, Xu Zun already knew that Miss Lu Mingyue was a girl with a very unique personality.
Beauty, courage and wisdom coexist. To be able to do such amazing things at such a young age is by no means an ordinary person.
In an instant, Xu Zun remembered the poem in Miss Lu's study:
"I dreamed of returning to the general's camp, wishing I could kill!"
Hmm...kind of interesting...
Thinking of this, Xu Zun became even more curious about Miss Lu.
It just so happened that he also had a lot of questions and wanted to discuss them with Miss Lu...
