Chapter 111: Investigation
In front of Hu Yuanwai's coffin, Xiao Yun was crying faintly, and the others were sleeping, whether it was the sound of questioning or crying, no one could wake up from their sleep.
Gu Juan slowly straightened up, his face was cloudy, and after a while, he suddenly smiled and said, "If there is more than enough success, I should have sent you back to the West last night and let you reunite with Hu Yuanwai's husband and wife." ”
After finishing speaking, he stopped caring about Xiao Yun who was lying there crying, took a chair and sat in front of the coffin that had not yet been closed, and began to think about what to do with Hu Yuanwai, whose expression was still distorted.
Luo Shang once said that in some specific situations, sometimes more people are not an advantage, but a disadvantage.
He now thinks deeply of this statement, and from the analysis of this nightmare incident, it is obvious that after Xiao Yun didn't control her mouth, the situation has begun to run in an increasingly terrifying unknown direction.
The key problem is that he is already in the game, and he can only find a way to break through the fog in order to get himself out of this sudden incident.
But with the information he has now, it is so difficult to break the situation.
Gu Juan thought silently, and suddenly found that Xiao Yun didn't know when he had stopped crying, he was just about to get up to check, but he felt an irresistible sleepiness hit him instantly, and he barely had time to react before he fell asleep on the back of the chair.
Call......
He opened his eyes suddenly, wiped the fine cold sweat from his forehead, and stood up from his chair.
Clang......
The crisp sound of the gong sounded faintly from a distance.
He frowned and looked at Xiao Yun's body, which was still lying there motionless.
Although he didn't actually go to the exam, he knew that she was dead.
After a few moments, the others in the mourning hall began to wake up from their dreams one after another, and everyone had a look of surprise and fear on their faces.
Gu Juan had already left the Hu Mansion at this time, and quickly walked through the streets of Youxie Town, silently observing everything.
The town is completely finished.
Unexpectedly, less than a day and a night later, the rumors about the nightmare of the fourth watch have swept through the entire town like a high-explosive virus, almost including more than half of the people.
"If you really can't do it, just ......" Gu Juan stared at the dark and secluded town, his expression was cloudy, and a murderous intent appeared in the depths of his eyes, but in the end, he still controlled his irritable mood and returned to the Hu Mansion again.
At the beginning, the matter appeared from Hu Yuanwai, so it is still necessary to find the cause of the nightmare death incident from him.
Gu Ju's reappearance caused a commotion and hatred among the Hu family, but he directly put down a few strong men in three or two strokes, and Zheng Huyuan came with a few people with knives to express their support, and the situation was soon perfectly controlled.
One after another, Hu Fuzhong was called to the living room for questioning, and as time passed, Hu Yuanwai's life trajectory for a long time was like a picture scroll, which was quickly enriched and perfected in Gu Yuan's mind.
It was bright in the day, and after the last person retreated tremblingly, Gu Juan asked Zheng Huyuan to bring breakfast over, and began to take on the role of Hu Yuanwai while eating, and began to review in detail again.
"This person is a senior otaku, except for things that can't be shirked, basically the door is not out of the door at other times, and he stays at home all day long. ”
"So, how the hell did he get into the Hearsay affair?"
Gu Juan drank the last mouthful of white porridge and slowly paced around the room, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Now he can only look for clues from the inside of Hu's mansion first, and if he can't find the anomaly from the place where Hu Yuanwai stays the most, he can only use the most stupid dragnet inspection method to look at every courtyard and room little by little.
The whole process must be completed by him himself with a jungler knife, and the time consumed must not be small.
The problem is that what he lacks most right now is time.
According to the order of Hu Yuanwai and Xiao Yun's accidents, there are less than four days left before the moment when his life hangs by a thread.
In addition, the rapid spread of the news also added more pressure to him, and it was not until tonight that almost the entire town of Youxie would probably be talking about this matter, and artificially adding a bit of eerie color to it.
There was also Xilun Town to the west, he wanted to know what the situation was there, but he couldn't find time to go there again, so he could only ask Zheng Huyuan to send a trustworthy younger brother to ride over to investigate.
Gu Juan began to start with Hu Yuanwai's favorite place to stay, checking the past room by room, especially the key location like the study, and almost turned over every piece of paper with words in it.
After most of the day, he almost checked all the places that Hu Yuanwai frequented, but he still found nothing, and his heart gradually became a little anxious.
"No, I subconsciously overlooked a place. ”
Suddenly, an idea arises from the bottom of my mind, a place that can easily be overlooked.
When a person is bored, he usually finds something to kill the time, such as the story he once told, several people count icicles together, and in this town where there is not much entertainment, reading a book will be a very good choice.
What's more, he knew that Hu Yuanwai liked to listen to stories and read miscellaneous books.
Well, there's another place to look for and take a look.
Gu Juan stretched out his hand, and Zheng Huyuan, who had been busy behind him like crazy since last night, immediately came over, panting and waiting for orders.
Gu Juan whispered a few words in his ear, and Zheng Huyuan immediately nodded and left.
A quarter of an hour later, Zheng Huyuan, whose eyes were red and his beard was unshaven, rushed back again, and there was a strong foul smell all over his body.
"Mr. Gu, there is a discovery!"
Zheng Huyuan, who has been in an agitated and sick state since last night, fought hard, and after leading Gu Juan to the thatched house in the corner of the inner house, he fell down directly, and almost his entire upper body was stuffed into the dry toilet pit.
After working for a while, Zheng Huyuan really took out a cylindrical thing.
There were only two people left in the toilet, Gu Juan and Zheng Huyuan, and the others couldn't stand the stench and hid away early in the morning.
"Is this a book?does it look like a scroll-bound silk book?" Gu Juan narrowed his eyes and said to Zheng Huyuan, "Are you literate?"
"I'm just getting to know a little bit below. ”
Gu Juan was silent for a moment, "There are two things, you should do it now, first, find a way to clean it up, but don't break the silk book and mess with the handwriting; ”
After processing, the silk book was spread out in the center of the largest living room in the Hu Mansion.
Although it had been carefully cleaned and smoked with spices, the whole room was still filled with a strange smell, and even opening the doors and windows for ventilation did not help.
The silk book is tough but lightweight, almost more than five feet long when fully unfolded, and it is covered with handwriting.
Gu Juan pinched his nose and read the above content word by word from a distance, his brows sometimes furrowed, sometimes relaxed.
