Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Chapter 44

Hearing this sound, Hui Qi suddenly felt horrified, and the goosebumps all over his body immediately got up one by one. The wind blew outside the window, and there was an erratic figure flickering under the moonlight, and that shrill and miserable voice, like The male looks like a female, making the other two terrified.

Especially that Liansheng, with a frightened and terrified expression on his face, heard the voice from outside, and quietly backed away a few steps.

With a sound of "shua", a phantom floated outside the window very quickly, and that ethereal shrill voice came again.

"Liansheng... Liansheng...give me back my life..."

"Who the hell are you?!" Lian Sheng's voice became extremely sharp amidst the panic, almost screaming.

"Liansheng... Liansheng..."

No one answered his words, only bursts of seemingly invisible voices came.

Gu Qi snorted coldly: "Pretending to be a ghost, Yihua!"

"Okay!" Xu Yihua nodded, and the moment Gu Qi opened his mouth, the sword was out of its sheath, and the blade of the sword reflected a cold light under the moonlight. His body suddenly bounced, and his whole body was like a sharp arrow, breaking through the window. Go out and go straight to the source of the sound.

It was a long story, but actually it happened almost in an instant, the shrill wailing sound outside the window fell, and Xu Yihua had already taken action.

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes, and immediately followed behind, rushing out the door.

There was no movement in the courtyard, except for the gusts of wind, Xu Yihua stood on the roof with a sword in his right hand, and looked around.

Seeing Gu Qi rushing out from inside, Xu Yihua moved and floated down from the roof.

"Did you find anything?" Gu Qi asked.

Xu Yihua shook his head: "I escaped too fast, I didn't see it."

Gu Qi's eyes showed deep thought.

Behind the hall is the inner hall, and there is a yard between the two halls. This yard is much smaller than the front yard, and it is basically unobstructed. If you want to hide someone, you must not be able to hide.

Besides, Gu Qishang is somewhat satisfied with Xu Yihua's kung fu, he can be regarded as a first-class master, but when the phantom just appeared, the two of them had already reacted to it, but unexpectedly they couldn't find half of its figure. Could it be that the other party is still a master no?

Xu Yihua was about to speak, when suddenly his eyes moved, and he looked behind Gu Qi.

Hui Qizheng rushed out from the inner hall in surprise, but Liansheng was nowhere to be seen.

"Just now...was it a ghost?" Hui Qi hurriedly hugged Xu Yihua's arm, looked around vigilantly, and asked cautiously.

Gu Qi pondered and remained silent, the theory of ghosts and gods is of course nonsense, so needless to say what happened tonight, there must be someone pretending to be a ghost here, all these things are artificially made.

But there is such a powerful person in this Yue family, whose kung fu is far superior to Xu Yihua, otherwise how could he escape Xu Yihua's pursuit?

Standing with his hands behind his back, Gu Qi raised his head and looked around, his eyes turned around with his head, his face showed a puzzled expression from time to time, suddenly, he opened his eyebrows as if suddenly enlightened, and lowered his head to look for something on the ground.

Suddenly, Gu Qi's eyes froze, and his eyes stayed on a corner of the yard. This place happened to be at a corner, a blind spot where the moonlight couldn't shine in, and it was so dark that he could only vaguely see what seemed to be here. thing.

Xu Yihua protected Hui Qi and stood aside, did not step forward, he could only see Gu Qi squatting down, stretching out two fingers of his right hand to pick up something from the shadow, he took a closer look, only to find that what the other party picked up was exactly A piece of clothing.

"That's true." Gu Qi muttered to himself.

Xu Yihua was originally a smart person, so after thinking about it for a while, he guessed eighty-eighty-ninety-nine.

"Look for the rope." Gu Qi supported the railing with both hands, and jumped in from the yard lightly. Suddenly, he heard a click, and his back hurt, which made him sit down quickly in fright.

Carefully rubbing his lower back, fortunately there was nothing serious, Gu Qi felt relieved, it seems that he will not be able to run around like before, at least not until his waist is completely healed.As the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to hurt the muscles and bones, and I have only rested for more than half a month. Although it looks fine on the surface, it has not completely recovered from the inside, but Xu Yihua's waist is indeed effective, as long as he does not do violent exercises. movement has no effect.

Temporarily suppressing the chaotic thoughts in his mind, Gu Qi looked up from the current position.

The place he was at happened to be at the railing of a corridor, on the right was a corner, connected to the corridor at the back, on the left was the gate of the back hall, and behind Gu Qi was the man who had just discovered the hem of his clothes. place.

Sure enough, as he expected, there was a very thin rope on the watchdog on the corridor, one end was tied to the westernmost section of the corridor, and the other end was tied to the easternmost end of the corridor. The long rope ran through the entire corridor.

"There is a rope here." Xu Yihua's voice suddenly sounded from the east end of the corridor.

Gu Qi walked over slowly.

"Besides the rope, is there a piece of clothing?"

Xu Yihua smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

"You guessed it?" Gu Qi asked.

Xu Yihua laughed again and said, "What's so difficult about this?"

Gu Qi chuckled lightly, and the smile on his face gradually deepened.

"What kind of charades are you two playing!" Hui Qi hid between the two, confused, "I know you are smart, but I am stupid, can you tell me?"

"Aren't you afraid of ghosts?" Gu Qi asked.

After saying this, Huiqi's body began to tremble again, and she tightly grasped Xu Yihua's sleeve, as if this would keep her safe: "Just now...what the hell is it?"

"Someone is just pretending to be a ghost." Gu Qi shook his head, "There are too many flaws."

Speaking of this, Gu Qi suddenly felt that there was something wrong: "We have so many things happened in this back hall, and the movement is not small, and now there is no one who came to investigate."

"Not good, where's Liansheng?" Xu Yihua also thought of this, and the faces of the two of them suddenly turned ugly.

From the moment Huiqi left the house, Liansheng disappeared from the sight of the three of them.

Now that Liansheng is the murderer is basically a certainty, then Liansheng's disappearance means that the other party has absconded in fear of crime, and it further confirms the suspicion of the other party's murderer.

What's more, the pretender just now was clearly trying to scare Liansheng. If he guessed correctly, that person must have pretended to be the dead Yue Ziran, and acted as if he wanted to take his life for Yue Ziran.

In this way, Lian Sheng's life will definitely be lost!

"Find Liansheng quickly!"

The white lanterns in the courtyard were still flickering, Gu Qi and the others followed the corridor of the small courtyard and entered the front yard directly, the courtyard was empty, no one was there, only the paper money was still burning in the pot, but it was about to burn to the end up.

"I want to see what kind of tricks they want to play." Gu Qi's face was ugly.

"It's okay." Xu Yihua took a step forward and stood beside Gu Qi.

Glancing at Xu Yihua in surprise, Gu Qilue thought for a while and said: "The door of Yue's family is closed now, and there is no sign of it being opened. Liansheng should not run out. If he really killed him, he is naturally afraid that Yue Ziran's ghost will come to ask for it." At this time, I will definitely find a place to hide to ensure my own safety."

"This place will definitely make him feel reliable and protect him." Xu Yihua's eyes flashed, and he continued.

"Of course it's his bedroom."

At this time, Xu Yihua suddenly turned his head and said sharply: "Who is it!"

At the same time, with a shake of his right hand, a silver light flashed across the long sword, bringing up an afterimage, and it was firmly placed on a person's neck.

The servant hid behind a large vat planted with water lilies, and Xu Yihua grabbed his head as soon as he poked his head out, especially the long sword made him terrified, and cold sweat rolled down his forehead immediately.

"Hero, spare your life! I have seniors and juniors..."

"Say one more word and I'll cut your tongue." Xu Yihua threatened impatiently after listening to him.

The servant was so frightened that he quickly shut up, and Xu Yihua moved the blade away a little.

Gu Qi walked over and asked, "Are you a servant of the Yue family?"

The servant nodded hastily.

"Why are the people in the front yard gone?"

"Madam said that there was a thief in her room, so she called everyone over."

It's okay in the morning, it's okay in the evening, but at this time, Gu Qi sneered in his heart, so he wouldn't think it was a coincidence.

"Then why don't you go?" Gu Qi asked.

A smile appeared on the servant's face: "Not only did the villain not go, but there were also some other people who didn't want to go and hid."

"Why?" Gu Qi frowned.

"Actually..." The servant looked left and right, and then said quietly, "We don't like Madam very much, so we try to avoid Madam's affairs as much as possible."

Don't like Mrs. Yue?

Gu Qi pondered, this is a strange thing, judging from the contact between yesterday and today, this Mrs. Yue has a good temperament, gentle and decent, she seems to be well-educated, and she speaks softly, unlike everyone People who don't like it.

"Mrs. Yue is so nice, why don't you like her?" Huiqi asked puzzled.

The servant had a wry smile on his face: "Ma'am... She listens and believes, sometimes she treats us too harshly, even when it comes to punishment..."

The strictness in his mouth must have been very severe. As for the punishment, Gu Qi guessed that it was probably because Mrs. Yue had killed a servant in this house, otherwise everyone would not hate each other so much.

"Where's your master?" Gu Qi had a strange expression on his face.

"Master, he went out to do business and has not returned for six years."

Gu Qi touched his chin, his thoughts drifted away.But suddenly he remembered something important: "Where is Liansheng's room, do you know?"

"I know." The servant nodded repeatedly.

"Take us there."

Liansheng's room was in the West Wing, but when Gu Qi and the others passed by, they could clearly see that the East Wing was extremely lively, with people coming and going in a hurry, as if they were really looking for something.

After a few glances, Gu Qi turned around, the most important thing now is Lian Sheng.

Following the servant, several people came to the door of Liansheng's room, pushed the door, but found that the door was locked from the inside, Xu Yihua frowned, and kicked with his long foot, and the wooden door was kicked by him with a clatter fly.

"what!"

Huiqi, who was the smallest, squeezed in the front, saw what was going on inside at a glance, and screamed in fright.

In the room, Liansheng's body floated quietly in the air, a white silk was hung around his neck, hoisting him up, the moonlight passed through the one-foot-square transom, and hit his face straight , Pale and pale.
