Chapter 4 Perseverance
Return to Su Mansion's carriage.

Su Xiaochan said, "You have something on your mind."

Xie Chen smiled and said, "I knew it must be hidden from you."

Su Xiaochan said: "You don't need to hide your concerns from me."

Xie Chen nodded and said, "That's natural."

Su Xiaochan said again: "Do you think He Ming made a mistake in the arrest?"

Xie Chen said: "If you see it that way, you don't need to ask me why?"

Su Xiaochan thought for a while and said, "Of course I dare not say that He Ming was wrong in arresting the head, but this case is indeed quite strange, and there are many strange things in it."

She looked at Xie Chen as if he was thinking, so she stopped talking.

"Why didn't you say it?" Xie Chen was puzzled.

Su Xiaochan said: "I see you are in deep thought, so I don't want to disturb you."

"You go on talking."

"Okay." Su Xiaochan said, "Let's talk about Boss Zhu He's death first. It rained last night, but the murderer was able to walk through the mud without leaving a mark. I think it's not bad at all. But Boss Zhu He doesn't know martial arts." People, a master like the murderer, wants to kill Boss Zhu He, and there is no need to poison him at all. Wouldn’t a knife and a palm come faster? But he must be poisoned. Ordinary poisoning kills people, not to deal with enemies with higher kung fu , just to deceive people, but this murderer is unreasonable, he can just leave after poisoning the boss Zhu He. At that time, the six doors would only suspect the servants in the mansion, but he wanted to leave a blood letter to prove that he had been there. "

Xie Chen nodded: "You're right, this is exactly what I'm wondering about, but there's one thing you said is wrong."

Su Xiaochan asked, "What's wrong?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "That's what you meant just now, the murderer is not from the house."

Su Xiaochan was surprised: "Do you think the murderer is a servant in the house?"

Xie Chen said: "Although I can't be sure, I'm afraid there must be people in the mansion involved. Otherwise, how could the murderer bring the blood needed for the blood book into the mansion? And how to deal with the utensils? You must know, write those four big characters on the wall , the blood needed is not a small amount.”

"Then you mean...the kitchen?" Su Xiaochan knew everything.

Xie Chen said: "It must be so."

"But even so, it cannot be said that Catcher He was wrong." Su Xiaochan thought for a while.

Xie Chen replied: "I said he was wrong, but that's not it."

After thinking for a while, he asked again: "Are you sure that Zhu He really doesn't know martial arts?"

Su Xiaochan said earnestly: "Boss Zhu He also does business on the Western Silk Road. In Hangzhou, anyone who does business on the Western Silk Road does not deal with our Su family. I've seen him a few times, and according to my observation, Boss Zhu He is really an ordinary person who doesn't know martial arts."

Xie Chen shook his head again and again: "That's wrong, I dare say that Boss Zhu He is not only good at martial arts, but also a person with high martial arts skills."

Su Xiaochan was very surprised: "Why do you say that?"

Xie Chen said: "I just said that this poison, the more powerful the martial arts, the more violent the onset will be."

"Why didn't you tell Butou He?" Su Xiaochan was even more puzzled.

Xie Chen frowned and said: "That's why I asked He Ming just now, whether Boss Zhu He knows martial arts, but he categorically answered no. In this way, it is hard for me to say. You must know that he is not you, so He Ming It is absolutely impossible for a martial arts practitioner to pretend to be in front of him."

"Could it be that you were wrong?" Su Xiaochan couldn't figure it out again.

Xie Chen said: "My medical skills are absolutely impossible to make mistakes. Just like He Ming believes in his eyes, I also believe in my medical skills."

Su Xiaochan was a little annoyed: "Then what's going on? You can't be wrong, and he can't be wrong either. Does Boss Zhu He know martial arts?"

Seeing the resentment of the girl beside him, Xie Chen just thought it was cute: "This is what I said about the interesting part of this case. By the way, there is another point. He Ming said that the murderer left the blood in order to confuse the public, but I don't think so. .”

"You think this is a vendetta?"

"It's hard to say. At least I don't have any evidence on this point. I can only say that if the murderer is a vendetta, it can be explained."

"Explain what?"

"Zhu He's martial arts are not weak, but there was no trace of a fight in the room after his death, so the murderer must be someone he knew."

"good."

"Then think about this scene carefully. Last night, Zhu He was alone in the bedroom, but he didn't sleep because he was waiting for someone."

"Waiting for who?"

"The person who killed him. Of course, it is impossible for Boss Zhu to know that the other party is here to kill him. He waited for a long time, maybe a little impatient listening to the sound of rain outside, and at this moment, that person came. The visitor walked into the room, and the two of them said something. Then, the visitor took out the poison, and Boss Zhu He ate the poison. The visitor wrote on the wall with the prepared blood, "Blood Debt and Blood Repayment" Then walk away."

Su Xiaochan immediately retorted: "How is this possible? If Boss Zhu He is said to be highly skilled in martial arts, how could he allow the other party to poison him? Your story doesn't make any sense at all."

Xie Chen praised: "By the way, this is the biggest doubt. How did the visitor make Boss Zhu He willingly take the poison."

Su Xiaochan thought for a while and guessed: "Maybe it's mixed in the wine?"

Xie Chen shook his head: "Impossible, there is no alcohol in the room."

Su Xiaochan argued: "Maybe someone came and took it away with me."

Xie Chen said: "My qinggong is not good, but your stepping on the snow is the best qinggong in the world, you ask yourself, can you carry a pot of wine and drinking utensils with you while holding a bowl of blood without leaving a trace? "

Su Xiaochan pondered for a long time: "I'm afraid it's not possible. I'm afraid only the master can do it like this."

Xie Chen asked: "Then dare to ask, how many people in this Jianghu have lightness skills that can rival Senior Danqing?"

Su Xiaochan thought for a while, and managed to count a few people, but those few people could never become murderers.

Xie Chen continued: "That's it, so, I'm afraid that's how the poison was eaten directly."

"But who would be stupid enough to take poison on their own initiative?"

At this time, the carriage stopped.

Xie Chen lifted the curtain and got out of the car first, then reached out to help Su Xiaochan get down.

"Yes, this is the crux of the problem. As long as we can figure out why Boss Zhu took the poison on his own initiative, then I think the case can probably be solved."

With that said, he went into the lobby.

Su Xiaochan was surprised and said: "Are you planning to continue the investigation? I thought you didn't like to take care of these things."

Xie Chen turned his head and glanced at her: "I really don't like to worry about these things, but once I know the beginning, it's impossible for me not to want to know the result anyway."

Seeing Su Xiaochan's puzzled expression, he continued to explain: "It's like, when you listen to a story in a teahouse, you get excited when you hear it, but the storyteller says, 'If you want to know what's going on, let's listen to the next chapter to break it down' ,what will you do?"

"Of course I would like to know the follow-up." Su Xiaochan replied.

Xie Chen nodded: "I'm the same, but I'm probably more persistent than ordinary people. It's like before, when I was in a teahouse in the capital, I heard a storyteller tell a story about a hero who broke into a place full of rebels. After the tower of the hidden weapon mechanism disappeared without a trace, I wanted to know the continuation of the story no matter what. So, I waited in that teahouse for three full days, only to find that the storyteller had disappeared."

"And then?" Su Xiaochan asked.

"On my side, after inquiring, I found out that the storyteller was suffering from a sudden illness. He hired a doctor, but he didn't see a good eye. It seemed that he was going to die. When I heard it, how could this work? How could you die before I heard the ending of the story? So I rushed to him directly. Treat him at home."

Su Xiaochan couldn't care less about etiquette, and burst out laughing: "What about after that? He must be cured, right?"

"Of course it's fine. You always know that when I see a doctor, no matter what, I have to ask the other party to agree to one condition."

"Your condition is to let him finish the story for you?"

"Of course that's the case, but who knew that the storyteller told me that he didn't think about whether the chivalrous man would die or live in the end."

Su Xiaochan laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her back, completely disregarding her own appearance.

"But I never allow someone to default. So I locked him in the room and only gave him food and drink. In the end, he was forced to lock him up for seven days. He finally thought about the continuation of the story. After listening to it, I let him go with satisfaction. "

Su Xiaochan commented: "You are the only obsession in the world."

Xie Chen didn't care, "Exactly."
