MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 103
"About the day before yesterday, Gu Qingfeng and Gu Qingce saw Gu Qinghuan near Shulinkou in the back mountain. This is the last known whereabouts of Gu Qinghuan. He disappeared after that, and he did not return to his residence last night. The servant who waited on him informed the second master of the Gu family overnight, and the second master personally took a large number of servants to search in the woods in the back mountain, but there was no clue."
Zhou Ziruo translated the ancient time table in his mind, Weishi...it was about one o'clock in the afternoon. That is to say, after he met Gu Qinghuan that day, Gu Qinghuan ran to the back mountain and then disappeared.
"Gu Qinghuan has only been missing for a day and a half after all his efforts. Maybe he ran down the mountain by himself. What's more serious, he was taken away by someone like Mrs. Gu, or even murdered! Who would doubt that the idiot killed him? Han girl"
Lu Lixiao said: "This guess was first proposed by the people of Yaohua Palace, because the only person who had a quarrel with Miss Han on Zhuri Mountain was Gu Qinghuan, and Gu Qinghuan happened to disappear at this time. ', so the more you think about the suspect stealing the ax, the more it seems. By the way, what happened to the dispute between Miss Han and Gu Qinghuan outside the gate of the Gu family that day?"
Lu Lixiao came late that day and didn't witness the whole incident, Zhou Ziruo explained it carefully, and also told about the evil deeds that scumbag Gu Qinghuan did to Baihe Village.
After listening, Lu Lixiao said: "It seems that it is not impossible for Gu Qinghuan to poison Miss Han with a grudge. He has poisoned innocent people before."
"Even if that idiot holds a grudge, he should come to poison me..." At this point Zhou Ziruo suddenly remembered the reason why Gu Qinghuan couldn't come to poison him, and immediately felt a chill all over his body, and hurriedly changed the subject: "What does the Gu family say? They know best Gu Qinghuan is gone!"
"I can't find Gu Qinghuan himself, and I can't confront him. The Gu family can only assume the name of the suspect for him for the time being. But apart from that, some people have other guesses."
"What guess?"
Lu Lixiao picked up the teapot on the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and took a sip, "The murderer killed Miss Han for the sake of winning the Immortal League Competition."
"Who on earth is so stupid? If it's for the big competition, why did you kill Miss Han? It's time to kill you!" Zhou Ziruo denied this possibility without even thinking about it.
Lu Lixiao shrugged, obviously thinking that this guess was nonsense.
"I think the most urgent thing is to find Gu Qinghuan's whereabouts first." Zhou Ziruo said after a moment of silence in the room.
Lu Lixiao said "Oh?" and looked at him with interest, "I would like to hear more about it."
Zhou Ziruo said: "Although Gu Qinghuan is a scum, death is not a pity, but the murderer should not kill him, this is one of them. It has only been less than 48 hours since he disappeared...cough cough, twenty-four hours, The hope of his survival is quite high, the second. He disappeared inexplicably, if he didn’t run around by himself, then something must have happened, and it is very likely to be related to the case of Mrs. Gu and Miss Han. The third. What's important is that Miss Han's case still has too few clues, and Mrs. Gu's case has hit a bottleneck, so it's time to start from other directions." After speaking, he turned to Lu Li, who was always looking at him with a deep smile. Xiao, ask for advice with his eyes.
Lu Lixiao clapped his hands, "The analysis is very good."
Zhou Ziruo couldn't help feeling a little complacent in his heart, and tried his best to keep a nonchalant indifference on his face.
Lu Lixiao added: "I am in favor of finding Gu Qinghuan's whereabouts first, but my reason is that Gu Erye will not look for someone with his heart, or if he finds someone first, then Gu Qinghuan will poison Han Ziyi." The crime of the crime will be confirmed by people, and there will be no proof!"
Zhou Ziruo was surprised: "Second Master Gu wants to kill Gu Qinghuan?"
"Old Madam Gu has been missing for so long, it must be impossible for Second Master Gu and the others to think that she is still alive. The Gu family will be in chaos if they lose Old Madam Gu. Gu Qinghuan died on the charge of poisoning the disciples of Yaohua Palace. Didn't the Gu family justifiably fall into Gu Erye's hands?" Lu Lixiao said slowly.
Zhou Ziruo felt a chill down his spine in his calm tone.
With Gu Qinghuan's character and talent, it is of course impossible to inherit the Gu family, but if Mrs. Gu insists on supporting him as the next Patriarch and ordering Gu Er and many other uncles to assist him, Gu Er can't do anything about it. It just so happens that Han Ziyi's murder case happened at this time, and the hidden danger can be solved by following the trend. Even though it is almost impossible for the Gu family to fall into Gu Qinghuan's hands, just in case Gu Er still thinks that Gu Qinghuan's death is the safest way!
It is really chilling to kill one's own nephew for such a slim possibility.
"Then... shall we go to find Gu Qinghuan now?" Zhou Ziruo suggested.
Lu Lixiao was about to say something when there was a knock on the door, Zhou Ziruo just stood up from the table, Leng Mo opened the door and looked at them, finally his eyes fell on Zhou Ziruo, "Little brother, the second master of the Gu family Waiting outside Zhizhuyuan, please go to the study for a while."
Zhou Ziruo pointed at himself, confused: "Me?"
The courtyard where the owner of the Gu family lives is different from the guest room. Not to mention it is several times wider, with carved beams and painted buildings everywhere, beautiful and magnificent. However, Zhou Ziruo was not in the mood to appreciate it, and followed behind the servant with a frown, puzzled.
What did Gu Er want him for?
Inform him that the time and competition system of the Immortal League Competition have been adjusted? But there's no need to invite him to the study, right?
Stop him from going to Gu Qinghuan? But he and Lu Lixiao had just made the decision to look for Gu Qinghuan, how could Gu Er know so quickly, with clairvoyance and clairvoyance?
If Zhou Zi couldn't figure it out, time didn't allow him to think any more, and soon came to Gu Er's study door. The servant bowed his waist and retreated after reporting respectfully. Zhou Ziruo had the urge to run, but the door of the study opened with a "squeak", and Gu Er, who was wearing a brocade robe, came out with a big smile.
"Young Xia Zhou, you're finally here! I really made this old man wait!"
"Gu, Second Master Gu..." Zhou Ziruo almost suspected that he had lost his memory. He had been in Gu's house for so many days and hadn't said a single word to Second Master Gu. Why is this person treating him like his own father now? of?
Gu Er, who turned into a real father, warmly greeted Zhou Ziruo into the room. Good tea and water were already prepared. The quantitative value of favorability immediately calmed down.
Gu Er held the fine Wuyi Dahongpao and sighed: "Zhou Shaoxia has never failed in every competition in the big competition. It is really wonderful. A hero is born as a boy! I think Zhou Shaoxia is also very popular in Qingyang Mountain. , you have a lot of prestige among your peers, right? Compared with you, my family’s Qingyan is still far behind! Every time I see you, I wish you were my son..."
"Hehe..." Zhou Ziruo smiled awkwardly but politely.
This tall hat is... If you don't have a big duck egg on your head, I will believe it.
Gu Erhu boasted so much about Zhou Ziruo that even Zhou Ziruo himself couldn't bear to listen to it before he finally got to the point: "Shaoxia Zhou and Shaoxia Lu have a good relationship on weekdays, right?"
Zhou Ziruo replied cautiously: "Brothers from the same school naturally have deep brotherhood."
Gu Er was overjoyed when he heard the words, "Surely Lu Shaoxia took good care of Zhou Shaoxia?"
"Second Master Gu, what exactly do you want to say?" Zhou Ziruo didn't want to beat around the bush with him anymore.
Gu Er didn't really put Zhou Ziruo in his eyes, so he cut to the chase: "I observed that in the match between the top ten teams, Lu Shaoxia deliberately missed in the duel with Zhou Shaoxia, which ensured Zhou Shaoxia's victory?"
Zhou Ziruo vaguely understood, but pretended not to know: "Miss on purpose? Didn't you? The fourth brother was tired from the previous two games, and he lost by accident when he met me. Usually, he often loses to me when we compete in the door. What's so strange?"
Seeing his innocent face, Gu Er was a little confused for a moment whether he knew that Lu Lixiao had deliberately lost to him. After thinking about it, he changed his strategy and said, "Young Xia Zhou, to be honest, I have a reason to invite you here today. ask!"
"Second Master is serious, if there is anything junior who can help, just say it!"
"It's like this. Everyone knows that the reward for winning this competition is the Xuanming Pearl, the heirloom of my Gu family..."
When Zhou Ziruo heard the word "Xuanmingzhu", he immediately concentrated his attention.
Gu Er made a look of embarrassment and continued: "It's a pity where the Xuanming Pearl is stored, even the old lady can't remember it! If the Gu family can't get the Xuanming Pearl after the competition, they will be punished by other immortals." The aristocratic family ridiculed that only the old man’s son Qingyan won the big competition, so he could avoid the ceremony of taking out the Xuanming Pearl in front of all the immortal families. So... the old man begged Zhou Shaoxia, could he privately persuade Lu Shaoxia to be merciful in the competition and let the child Win the championship? Don't worry Zhou Shaoxia, as long as you successfully persuade Lu Shaoxia to help you, I will never treat you badly!"
Zhou Ziruo sneered in his heart, Lu Lixiao just said that the Gu family was full of chaos, which made him encounter it. Not to mention that Gu Er really can't get the Xuanming Pearl now, even if the Xuanming Pearl didn't go missing with Mrs. Gu, he wouldn't let it fall into someone else's hands!
He used this as an excuse to coax him into persuading Lu Lixiao to let go of Gu Qingyan, in order to win his son the title of No. !
Even before Mrs. Gu's body was found, she was already planning to make a name for herself and her son!
Of course, Zhou Ziruo couldn't make him wish so easily, "Second Master Gu, what did you say? How could Fourth Senior Brother listen to me and deliberately lose to others? Besides, I participated in the competition this time for the sake of winning." , even if the fourth senior brother loses unfortunately, there is no guarantee that Mr. Gu will win against me! Second master, don't worry, if I win the championship, I will take the initiative to say that Xuan Mingzhu will be handed over to me in private, and there is no need for any grand handover Ceremony, so that no one will know that you don’t remember where the Xuanming Pearl is, right? When Mrs. Gu comes back from the ancestral hall, maybe she will remember the place where the Xuanming Pearl is kept. , I can wait hee hee!"
Gu Er almost wanted to break his neck. Also hee hee, hee a P! But his face could only show a bad look, "Zhou Shaoxia, the old lady is getting old, and her memory is not as good as before. If I can remember it, I will remember it a long time ago! And this Xuanming Pearl is actually not a good treasure. You don't know, the Xuanming Pearl was originally called "Mingzhu", as the name suggests, it is something related to the underworld! There was a wife in the ancestor of the Gu family who came from an ancient alien race. I heard that their clansmen were with evil ghosts all day long. The Mingzhu was brought to the Gu family by that lady, and it is said that some people will be haunted by evil spirits if they touch it..."
Hades! Aliens!
Zhou Ziruo thought of it instantly - ghost mirror clan!
Is the Xuanming Pearl a thing of the Ghost Mirror Clan?
Gu Er noticed that Zhou Ziruo's expression changed suddenly, he paused, and asked, "Young Xia Zhou, what's wrong with you?"
Zhou Ziruo's mind was filled with the relationship between the Gu family and the Ghost Mirror Clan, and some chaotic and fragmented clues were gradually connected. He got up and walked to the door of the study: "Second Master Gu, I'll go back and think about what you asked me to do. I have something to do. You have to go first!"
Gu Er was not so easy to be perfunctory by him, "Zhou Shaoxia, from the old man's point of view, you can make a decision here! You and I make an oath, and you can rest assured that the old man will turn his back on his promise and not give you a reward, right?"
Nima had planned to trap him! The devil wants to make that **** oath!
Zhou Ziruo saw that the talisman that Gu Er took out from somewhere ran faster, "Next time, I haven't figured it out yet..."
"Zhou Shaoxia, why don't you just think about it here!" Gu Er said that he could not do it softly, and he just came hard, and stretched out his hand to grab it.
Zhou Ziruo opened the door and ran into the oncoming person just as he rushed out. The person was stunned by the scene in front of him, grabbed his wrist and quickly dragged him behind him, "Father, what are you doing?"
Gu Qingyan's presence in front of Zhou Ziruo made Gu Er displeased, but he knew what kind of character his son was, so he put away the talisman paper in his hand, stroked the short beard on his chin and said: "Qingyan, you What are you doing here?"
Gu Qingyan looked at him hesitantly for a moment, and said, "Father, I'm here to inform you to go to Fenghe Garden. Great-grandmother just came back."
After these words fell, not only Gu Er's expression froze, but also Zhou Ziruo, who was behind Gu Qingyan who was secretly rejoicing that he had escaped, seemed to be struck by lightning.
Gu Qingyan felt the suddenly weird atmosphere, and his probing eyes turned on the faces of the two of them.
Zhou Ziruo thought he heard it wrong: "You...what did you just say? Who's back?"
Gu Qingyan said: "Great-grandmother is back."
Zhou Ziruo couldn't believe it.
How could Mrs. Gu come back? ? Didn't she die long ago? ? ?
A corpse in broad daylight? ? ? ?
