MTL - Cannon Fodder Counterattack Investigation System-Chapter 80

The next morning Lu Lixiao was willing to let Zhou Ziruo go back.

After the morning exercise, Lu Lixiao sent Zhou Ziruo to the door of the room, stuffed a red talisman into his belt, and said under Zhou Ziruo's puzzled reaction: "The mantra. If you want to say something to someone, just stick it on the other person's body." That's it. It can probably be used for a while."

"So powerful?" Zhou Ziruo was very pleasantly surprised, "How can one be enough? Let's get another ten or eight out!"

"You treat this as a silver ticket, how much do you want?" Lu Lixiao helped Zhou Ziruo straighten his clothes, squeezed his chin, and handed him a dagger that was half as long as his forearm in its sheath.

Zhou Ziruo saw that the short sword was small and exquisite, and the scabbard pattern had a low-key and delicate pattern, and he liked it very much. He took the hilt and pulled it out to have a look, but was stunned, "This, this is..."

"Not leaving." Lu Lixiao said clearly.

Zhou Ziruo looked up at him, too excited to speak.

This is inseparable! The insecurities that mean a lot to Lu Lixiao!

"I asked a craftsman to cast a hilt to make a short sword. This half-buli has not recognized me as the master, but its power as a magic weapon has not diminished. You put it in your boots, it is easy to carry, and you can use it for self-defense on weekdays." Lu Li Xiao took it from the hands of Zhou Ziruo who was in a state of emergency, and knelt down on one knee to hide it in his boots. After tidying it up, it would not affect the movement or be seen, and it was easy to use.

Zhou Ziruo quickly restarted, "No, not leaving..."

"Yes, never leave." Lu Lixiao said.

In the future, there will be two inseparable...

They used to be one...

On both of them separately...

The meaning of Lu Lixiao's move, if Zhou Zi thinks about it more and more, his heart will become more and more fiery, moving and joyful together, he will almost burst into tears.

Lu Lixiao raised his hand and scraped the tip of his nose.

Zhou Ziruo opened the door and carefully observed the outside, making sure there was no one there, then turned around and whispered: "Then I'll go..."

Lu Lixiao supported the door panel with his elbows, bowed his head and kissed him, and his soft voice fell on his lips: "Be careful."

"Um!"

Zhou Ziruo reluctantly bid farewell to Lu Lixiao, then hurried back to Zijin's room. I didn't return all night, so I don't know if there was any trouble.

Arriving outside Zijin's room, Zhou Ziruo was about to open the door when he suddenly heard the sound of the piano lingering inside, as if it had been playing for a long time.

It's only Chenshi, there are guests so early?

Zhou Ziruo was very puzzled, and then thought of a possibility, could it be...Zijin last night...

But it's unlikely, he has been here for so long and has never seen Zijin pick up a guest. Zijin is a well-known prostitute on Muliu Street!

If Zhou Zi went in outside the door, it didn't mean that he didn't go in, and when the song was over, he heard a gentle male voice behind the door leaf, revealing uncontrollable joy: "After such changes, it really sounds more clear and beautiful! Mr. Zijin worked hard to demonstrate for Gu Mou all night, Gu Mou is very grateful!"

It turned out that Zijin was asked to help arrange the score. Zijin has a high attainment in temperament, and some music lovers in Tongyang City often come to share new good tunes with him, and sometimes they compose their own tunes and ask him to help them appreciate them.

but…

The guest's voice...why does it sound familiar?

...but I can't remember when I heard it.

Zijin still had that lukewarm tone: "Young Master Gu is serious, I just hope that your confidante likes this song."

"Heh...a confidante...but I'm wishful thinking. She loves rhythm and is good at all kinds of musical instruments, so I think if I give her a beautiful piano score, maybe she will be very happy..."

"Young master is sincere, that girl will remember."

There were a few tables moving in the room, presumably the guest was leaving. Sure enough, there were footsteps approaching the door immediately, Zhou Ziruo retreated to the wall, lowered his eyebrows, the door opened, and a piece of snow-white clothes fell into the corner of his eyes.

"Young Master Laozijin, there is no need to send it away. Let's rest!"

Zijin didn't evade, said his farewell lightly, and then saw Zhou Ziruo next to him, "Ah Ruo? When did you come back?"

Zhou Ziruo said: "Just, just now..."

The man in white was about to leave, but suddenly he looked at Zhou Ziruo, and Zhou Ziruo raised his head to meet him.

This man is rich and handsome, with a jade tree facing the wind, and he belongs to the kind that can never be forgotten at a glance. Zhou Ziruo was sure that he had never seen him before, but the way he looked at him was a bit strange, and he just felt that he had heard his voice somewhere...

"Master Gu, are you still leaving?"

Zijin reminded, the man in white smiled and said goodbye politely.

After the figure walked away, Zijin asked Zhou Ziruo, "Where did you go last night?"

"The little one was too sleepy last night and went to the wrong room, so he fell asleep in an empty room. When he woke up, it was already dawn, and the little one rushed back to serve the young master!" Zhou Ziruo told the prepared lie, secretly Fortunately, Zijin was troubled by the guest surnamed Gu all night last night, and he must have no time to find him.

Zijin didn't doubt that he was there, so he turned back to his room and said, "Get a basin of water for me to freshen up, I want to catch up on sleep."

Zhou Ziruo returned with a basin of clean water, took a towel and soaked it, and asked casually, "Master, who was the guest just now?"

Zijin stayed up all night, and answered him wearily: "I heard from Yun's mother that he is a business traveler who came to Tongyang City from other places. He came to Yunlanxuan for the first time last night. His name is Gu Jue."

Gu Jue...

Zhou Ziruo searched his memory carefully, but he hadn't heard of it.

Zijin lay down on the bed and fell asleep half an hour later, Zhou Ziruo helped him cover the quilt and put down the bed curtain, waited outside the bed for a while, made sure that he was completely asleep, and left the room lightly.

Zheng Yu's body was first discovered by the two girls in the building. One of them was terrified. He was still sick after so many days, muttering nonsense about ghosts and ghosts. The other one. Originally, Zhou Ziruo's plan was to inquire indirectly after getting acquainted with the servant girls in the building, but now that he has the mantra talisman that Lu Lixiao gave him, he doesn't have to bother so much.

In addition to the Qingfeng Building, which has a high status, there are eight other small buildings in Yunlanxuan for girls and boys to live in. Zijin lived in Lanlou, Zhuohua lived in Hualou, and the girl named Yushang who found Zheng Yu's body lived in Meilou.

Zhou Ziruo seldom needs to go outside Lan Lou on weekdays, and he doesn't know anyone in the other buildings well, so he lowers his head for fear of attracting attention. The girl Yushang's appearance can only be said to be delicate, and she has no talent points, and she is not too young, so she is just a very ordinary girl in Yunlanxuan, she doesn't even have a personal maid, she lives on the first floor, next to the stairs His house was full of people coming and going all day long, and it was very unclean.

The girls come out at night and usually rest in their rooms during the day. When Zhou Ziruo arrived at Meilou, he saw that there was no one in the corridor, so he gently knocked on Yushang's door. But two moments later the door opened, Yu Chang stood in the door and looked at the strange boy curiously, and asked, "What's the matter?"

Zhou Ziruo quickly tapped the mantra talisman on Yushang's shoulder with quick eyesight, and Yushang's expression immediately became dazed, and he turned sideways to let Zhou Ziruo into the room, and locked the door.

Zhou Ziruo sat down at the table, and Yu Chang stood beside him like a loyal subordinate. Zhou Ziruo glanced at the mantra symbol on her shoulder, remembering that Lu Lixiao said it was a consumable, and then Not daring to delay, he hastily asked: "What is the relationship between Zheng Yu and Zhuo Hua?"

Yu Chang replied dumbly: "Three months ago, Mr. Zheng paid a lot of money to buy Sister Zhuohua. Sister Zhuohua suddenly repented because she met Mr. Bai. Mr. Zheng beat Sister Zhuohua in a rage. Mr. Bai took action to teach Mr. Zheng a lesson. , Since then, Mr. Zheng has never stepped into Hualou again."

"Master Bai? Bai Shunhua??"

"Yes."

Unexpectedly, Bai Shunhua still had contact with the two deceased. This is really an unexpected harvest. With Bai Shunhua's skill, Zheng Yu could only bear with it, probably he didn't dare to trouble Zhuohua again. So does his death have anything to do with it?

"Have you guessed or heard someone guessed who killed Zheng Yu?"

"No."

After all, Zheng Yu is not from Yunlanxuan, thinking that Yushang's knowledge is limited, so Zhou Ziruo turned to ask Zhuohua, "Has Zhuohua ever had disputes or grievances with anyone? Except Zheng Yu!"

"Sister Zhuohua almost pushed Zijin downstairs two months ago..."

"Huh??" Zhou Ziruo was taken aback. Zijin, who had nothing to do with the world, would marry a girl? ? ? If Zhuohua wants to exclude people, it should be Qingluo who is the same type as her, right?

"Why would she do that?"

"Because Mr. Bai."

"Bai Shunhua?" It's him again? ?

Yu Chang remained numb, "Yes."

Zhou Ziruo was completely speechless.

Unexpectedly, this elite disciple of the Changle Sect got involved again. Should he be said to be flirtatious, merciful, or ruthless? No wonder Zijin's face was so ugly after playing the accompaniment last night, it must be because of his anger.

"Does Bai Shunhua know about this? Did he do anything?"

"Mr. Bai was there at the time and saved Zijin, but Zijin ignored him and went back to his room alone. Mr. Bai has never been to sister Zhuohua's room since then."

Zhou Ziruo couldn't help thinking when he heard this, is it possible that Zhuohua committed suicide? But then denied it again. He was there when Zhuohua's body was picked up. He was completely naked, and officers and soldiers searched the scene, but there was no clothing. Even if she wants to commit suicide by jumping into the wine barrel, she doesn't have to take off her clothes and run to the wine cellar. She lives on the third floor of the flower building, and the wine cellar is on the basement of the main building, so she isn't afraid of being seen running naked.

Judging from the degree of swelling of the body at that time, Zhuo Hua should have been killed that night. What needs to be investigated now is what Zhuohua did that night and who has seen her. A few days ago, officers and soldiers came to investigate the case and asked people one by one, and the information was in the Yamen.

Whether it was Zheng Yu's case or Zhuohua's case, if there were no clues from the Yamen, he would have nothing to do except ask a few relevant people for questioning.

Zhou Ziruo frowned and rubbed his chin in confusion, and accidentally saw the diamond mirror on the dressing table, and suddenly remembered the scene of the female ghost sister sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair last night.

What was the ghost trying to tell him?

Zhuo Hua likes to comb his hair?

nonsense! What woman doesn't love her hair!

Zhou Ziruo scratched his head in confusion, turned his eyes to the gaudy red Kodan on Yushang's fingernails, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly looked over her shoulder: the color of the mantra has changed from deep red to water red!

It became like this after I went there for a while, and Lu Lixiao said it would last for a while! For a while a P!

"The last thing, is there anyone in Zhuohua who is particularly close?"

"Sister Zhuohua and Sister Zhusha have always had a close relationship. After Sister Zhuohua died, Sister Zhusha cried for a long time."

"Where does Zhu Sha live?"

"Sister Zhuohua and Sister Zhuohua are both in Hualou, and Sister Zhusha lives in the room at the end of the corridor on the third floor."

Zhou Ziruo wrote down Zhu Sha's message, and for a moment he couldn't think of any other questions to ask, so he got up and slashed the back of Yu Chang's neck. Yu Chang was in a coma, he hurriedly helped her to lie down on the bed, took the mantra amulet and returned to Lan Lou.

It was less than half an hour before and after, and Zijin probably hadn't woken up yet. Zhou Ziruo was going to go back without knowing it and pretended to be by the bed all the time, but when he reached the door and was about to push the door open, he heard several indescribable noises.

Xiao Zhou, who has eaten pork and seen pigs running, understood in seconds. He was embarrassed and at the same time wondered whether he and Lu Lixiao were living in the inn without any restraint, whether he was also heard by passers-by outside the door, but then he realized Seeing this might be an opportunity, so he decisively ran into the empty room next to Zijin, and attached his ears to the wall.
