MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 12
An eldest son died inexplicably in the Han family, and the whole mansion has been gloomy and gloomy these past few days. In order to alleviate this atmosphere, there is a family banquet tonight. Since it was a family banquet, all members of the family would naturally be present. Master Han, Mrs. Han, Han Qiaozhi and the two young masters—that is, the two brats who poked Zhou Ziruo in the face when he first wore it—were all sitting at the banquet, even though the table It still looks too big, and with the addition of the three guests who were guests in the Han Mansion, it looks like that.
The Han couple were not in the mood to talk about the scene, and told everyone to eat more. The atmosphere at the banquet was always stiff, and it was not until halfway through the dinner that everyone drank some wine that it eased a lot.
Mrs. Han was talking with Taoist Mu in a low voice, when Lu Lixiao suddenly said, "Master Han, Mrs. Han, do you still need my help in getting rid of evil spirits in your house?"
Mrs. Han froze for a moment, exchanged glances with Taoist Mu, and asked politely, "Young Master Lu, what do you mean...?"
"I've been bothering you in the mansion for many days, and I haven't been able to serve your mansion. I feel uneasy, so I asked this question. If I don't need to drive away evil spirits, I should leave and go back to Qingyang Mountain." Lu Lixiao said politely.
Zhou Ziruo, whose mouth was stuffed with abalone, was almost strangled, so he beat his chest hard twice. What is Lu Lixiao doing here? Did he get it wrong? Lu Lixiao is leaving the Han Mansion? ?
"Mother..." Han Qiaozhi urgently called her mother in a low voice.
Mrs. Han ignored her, and smiled gracefully at Lu Lixiao: "Master Lu, my son was killed in a strange way, and I was upset. It is my fault that I failed to explain to Mr. Lu! The Han family will stay for a few more days, and we can talk about exorcising the evil spirits later."
Mrs. Han has always had the final say on the major and minor matters of the Han family, and Han Qiaozhi was relieved when she said this, and said, "Yes, Mr. Lu, there are two days before my brother's first seven, you have known him for a long time. Field, send him off with us!"
Lu Lixiao sighed softly, thinking of Han Ruizhi with a look of great regret, "Mr. Han is in such a difficult situation. He is really jealous of the talent. It's embarrassing! I remembered that I saw him that night, but I didn't expect..."
"That night... Mr. Lu met his brother?" Han Qiaozhi's tone was a little crying.
Zhou Ziruo held a big fat chicken leg in his mouth, squinted his eyes and began to carefully observe the reactions of everyone at the table.
Lu Lixiao said: "I was walking in the mansion that night, when I passed a remote path, I saw Mr. Han passing by. I wanted to stop him, but when I walked over, he was already far away."
"Brother, he, he was ... who did it after that? Who did he meet at the time?" Han Qiaozhi couldn't help sobbing in a low voice.
Lu Lixiao shook his head and sighed: "Thinking about it now, I should have called him back. But I caught a glimpse of Mr. Han carrying a black wooden box, and he was in a hurry, as if he had something important to do..."
Black wooden box!
Except for the weeping Han Qiaozhi and the two little kids who didn't understand anything, everyone at the table reacted in a way that made Zhou Ziruo feel uncomfortable when they heard these four words. Did not see it.
Zhou Ziruo swallowed the chicken in his mouth, stared at Master Han, Mrs. Han and Taoist Mu with piercing eyes, hiding quite deeply? Hey! I don't believe you, sir, you really don't play drums in your heart at all!
Just when Zhou Ziruo was waiting for Lu Lixiao to say something to lure the murderer into showing off, Lu Lixiao calmly comforted Han Qiaozhi for a few words, and then stopped talking. After a while, Madam Han led the topic to other completely unrelated topics aspect.
This meal made Zhou Ziruo extremely unhappy, er, his tongue and stomach were still refreshed, but the point was that nothing came out!
After the family banquet was over, Zhou Ziruo walked back behind Lu Lixiao, he couldn't help but catch up with Lu Lixiao and grabbed Lu Lixiao's arm: "Master, are we going back like this?"
"What? You haven't eaten yet?" Lu Lixiao's eyes fell on Zhou Ziruo's stomach relentlessly.
"Uh..." Zhou Ziruo touched his swollen belly, originally he didn't plan to eat more, but when he didn't find any clues, he turned his grief and anger into appetite when he was unhappy.
"Master, why didn't you chat with Ms. Han for a while just now, maybe that person won't be able to hold back anymore?"
Lu Lixiao stopped and raised his index finger to press on the tip of Zhou Ziruo's nose. It was originally a very flirtatious gesture, but Zhou Ziruo, the person involved, said that his nose was about to be crushed.
"Shock the grass and scare the snake, understand?"
"Understand-"
Lu Lixiao withdrew his hand.
Zhou Ziruo covered his nose and continued: "A P. Afraid of making trouble, you still openly tried it at the dinner party?"
"Who said I said those things at the dinner party to openly test them?" Lu Lixiao said.
Zhou Ziruo blinked, and suddenly noticed the surrounding environment. It turned out that he followed Lu Lixiao to the vicinity of the water pond garden unknowingly!
I see! As expected of the hero!
The two came to the water pool garden, hid in the bushes opposite the water pool and paid close attention to the tree hole. It is certain that no one has been here since they left that night, and Han Ruizhi's black wooden box is still beside the tree hole.
After waiting for about half an hour, a sneaky figure appeared. The moment Zhou Ziruo saw that person clearly, his eyes were about to pop out of the frame, and he almost threw himself on the ground, but fortunately, Lu Lixiao stopped him.
The man first looked around to make sure no one was around, then picked up the box, checked it over and over again, and left after making sure there were no other missing items.
Zhou Ziruo was about to say something, but Lu Lixiao covered his mouth and shook his head slightly. Sure enough, the man came back after two minutes. Seeing that there was no change in the garden, he believed that no one was really waiting. Smiling proudly, he turned around and left.
The two continued to hide in the grass for a long time. Lu Lixiao lifted Zhou Ziruo's back collar and flew out of the garden. He stepped on the flying swallow all the way back to the small courtyard where he lived, and closed the door. Is it him—Wu Zhuangyuan?"
"Martial champion?" Lu Lixiao raised his eyes to look at him.
Zhou Ziruo "cough coughed" twice: "That's, that's the martial arts instructor!"
Lu Lixiao unfolded the piece of paper, took a pen and wrote down the words "Wujiaotou", and connected it with Tanshui Yuanzi, Resentful Infant, etc. online.
Zhou Ziruo still couldn't accept the fact that Wu Zhuangyuan, who was full of the malicious face of the game production team, was the big boss, so he walked around the room.
Lu Lixiao said: "Actually, we all ignored it. When you met Han Ruizhi, Instructor Wu also met him. If after that, Instructor Wu went back and followed Han Ruizhi, he would have the best chance of committing the crime. But if He can take the box away... Or, he just told someone about Han Ruizhi's whereabouts?"
Zhou Ziruo sat down on the stool: "Teacher Wu is just an outsider, and has nothing to do with the grievances between the Han family. He may just take orders from someone or be bought by someone to monitor Han Ruizhi! But who wants to do this? Monitoring Han Ruizhi is another matter." for what?"
"How did Han Ruizhi know about the resentful baby? Did someone tell him or did he discover it by accident?" Lu Lixiao frowned and looked at the paper. After a while, he took another blank paper, "Suppose, in this matter There are actually two camps.” He drew two circles, one with Mrs. Han and Mu Daoren written in it, and the other blank, “Mrs. It was bound by people from another camp. Then, if Mrs. Han finds out about the existence of the Resentful Infant, what will she do?"
Zhou Ziruo stroked his chin, and said with a vicious expression on his face, "If I were her, I would definitely find someone to kill this resentful baby to prevent it from harming me!"
Lu Lixiao nodded, "So, she needs someone to help her get rid of the resentful baby."
"It's definitely not that Mu Taoist, that guy looks like a charlatan! Ah!" Zhou Ziruo pointed at Lu Lixiao, "Evil spirit! She invites you to come to get rid of evil spirit!"
Lu Lixiao wrote his name on a line under Mrs. Han's camp. It turned out that when Lu Lixiao was asked to go down Qingyang Mountain to enter the mansion to get rid of evil spirits, the incident had already begun!
Lu Lixiao continued calmly: "Since I want to get rid of the evil spirit, I must first know where the evil spirit is in the mansion—"
"—So she sent the champion of martial arts to follow Han Ruizhi, because Han Ruizhi knows where the resentful infant is!" Zhou Ziruo used his rich imagination, "Han Ruizhi is a good young man with integrity and kindness. About the lady, I went to confront Mrs. Han, and the mother and son had a big quarrel, and during the excitement, Mrs. Han noticed the existence of the resentful baby, and Mrs. Han asked Han Ruizhi to no avail, so she sent someone to monitor him!"
After Zhou Ziruo finished speaking, he looked at Lu Lixiao expectantly, and Lu Lixiao also looked at him and said, "And then?"
"Then…"
Then Han Ruizhi was killed, and he had no clue who killed him and why he was killed.
Lu Lixiao wrote down Han Ruizhi's name in the blank camp, "There is at least one person in this camp, who plays the role of restraining the resentful infant and actively or passively making Han Ruizhi discover the resentful infant. From the known related people, this person Most likely—" He wrote down Han Li's name, "Master Han."
"Master Han has restrained the resentful infant in the mansion for many years, because it can be seen that the lid of Mrs. Hu's coffin has not been opened for a long time. All these years have been peaceful, and Mr. Han probably did this because he was reluctant to part with himself and Mrs. Hu's child. One time he went to the garden to see the resentful infant and was discovered by Han Ruizhi, and Han Ruizhi began to understand what happened sixteen years ago." Zhou Ziruo felt that his reasoning made sense, and then asked a question: "I can't figure out why Mrs. Han would Let Coach Wu take the box away?"
"Something must have happened in the garden that night, something we didn't expect. Besides, there is another key issue," Lu Lixiao wrote the word "resentful baby" on the paper.
"The resentful baby left Tanshui Garden, where did he go now?"
