Chapter 312 A Letter of Resignation

As soon as he stepped into the inner room, there was an unpleasant smell of medicine immediately. The windows of the room were closed tightly, and the whole room was very dark and dull, and the visibility was not very high.

Chu Qing frowned, Liang Yu was so angry that she almost didn't scold, but she was afraid of ruining Chu Qing's affairs, so she just strode over and pushed all the windows open suddenly, suddenly a gust of cool wind hit, and she felt suffocated It feels a lot less.

Even though Liang Yu looked like an old man, his thoughts were quite sentimental. When he looked at the inner room, his eyes turned red.

"My aunt was very fond of this place when she was alive. Since she bought this house, she has been living here for many years. It used to be called Duofuyuan, but my aunt changed it. At that time, I thought I still had a lot of time to spend with my aunt. So every time I came, I didn't stay for a long time, and I was afraid of the concern of my cousins, so I didn't dare to stay longer. A month or two before the incident, if I could... could..." Liang Yu choked up, The words got stuck in my throat, and some of them couldn't speak.

Chu Qingdao: "Everyone has their own destiny, and Master Liang doesn't have to be like this. I believe Mrs. Xu will not blame you. After all, before she dies, what she hopes most... should be someone to help her find the murderer. Who is it? Ruthless? To be able to do such a cruel thing to her."

Liang Yu wiped her face: "You're right, did you find anything?"

Chu Qing began to turn around the room, not missing any place.

It's just that this inner room seems to have been cleaned, except for the smell of medicine left in the room, the rest is very well cleaned up.

Chu Qing finally stood in front of the bed, the bed was neatly made, but...all of them were new, none of them were old.

Chu Qing and Yao Zongping looked at each other and confirmed their thoughts even more. The boss of the Xu family definitely knows something, or what is he afraid of, otherwise, why would he change everything in this room?
Chu Qing nodded to Yao Zongping, Yao Zongping cleared his throat, and said loudly: "Master Xu, is the maid who served the old lady before still alive? I want to ask a few words."

Boss Xu's voice came faintly from outside: "I'm afraid it won't work. After the mother left, the nuns around the mother received a sum of money and went back to the hometown to take care of them. As for the maidservants, they didn't take good care of them." Mother, she has been sold."

Yao Zongping knew that he should calm down at this moment, but he was still so angry that he almost burst into foul language, but he was held down by Lu Huan, took a deep breath, and simply sat there with his buttocks, and stopped talking, otherwise, he was afraid that he would Can't help but hit people directly.

Chu Qing was much calmer, and she continued to ask Mr. Xu at the door: "The things in this room seem to have been replaced. Is there something wrong with the old things?"

Boss Xu should have already found an excuse: "Most of the things that my mother had during her lifetime were her favorite things. I'm afraid they will be damaged if they are placed here, so I asked people to pack them up and put them away to prevent damage."

Chu Qing said: "Oh, then I wonder if we can take a look?"

Boss Xu did not object to this point: "...of course."

When Chu Qing heard these four words, she shook her head and gave up hope. After all, since the other party was willing to let them see, the things that had been moved were probably no different.

A group of people walked out without finding anything. When Chu Qing passed Boss Xu, he obviously felt that he was much more relaxed than when he was leading the way before, and his expression was a little bit small, "I will guide you. The things are in the warehouse. Without me The key with the housekeeper cannot be opened."

Yao Zongping strode ahead angrily. Lu Huan was talking to him, so Chu Qing had to say: "I'm sorry." It's not easy, is it?"

Boss Xu nodded: "...Well, it's really not easy. My mother didn't know it when she was in charge of the house, but she realized that she had to deal with everything big and small by herself. At the beginning, she made frequent mistakes. Now I’m used to it, and there are many old people who help me, so it’s very handy.”

Chu smiled lightly, and the topic changed abruptly, as if thinking of something to ask, "I heard that the third master's health is not very good? What is the disease?"

Boss Xu was stunned for a while, and then said: "I don't know, I started to get sick last year. I just had no strength and lethargy all day long. Later, the sick people lost their appearance. Many doctors came over and they all No reason was found."

"So, you went to the Taoist priest to help the third master exorcise ghosts?" Chu Qing asked.

When she said this, she kept paying attention to Boss Xu's expression, so she clearly saw that Boss Xu's face changed slightly when he heard her words: "You, how do you know?"

Chu Qing seemed not to care and said: "I've been bored these few days, so it's just gossip, is it a rumor?"

Boss Xu shook his head: "No... At the beginning, it was indeed not thoughtful. After being scolded by my mother, I didn't dare to do it anymore."

Chu Qing made up his sword: "I don't dare, but it was during my lifetime. Didn't I ask a Taoist priest to exorcise ghosts after death?"

Boss Xu: "..."

Chu smiled lightly: "What's wrong with Mr. Xu?"

Boss Xu could hear the sarcasm in the other party's words: "It's nothing." He quickened his pace and didn't want to talk to Chu Qing anymore.

Li Tianxiao stepped forward, stood side by side with her, tilted his head and glanced at her, his phoenix eyes were faint, "What did you tell him? Why are you so angry?"

Chu lightly nodded, "I poked his heart."

It's not that he poked Boss Xu's heart, but Chu Qing couldn't believe it. Did Xu's death really have something to do with Boss Xu?

Xu is his biological mother, how dare he?
But no evidence has been found yet, so she doesn't want to convict anyone first, which will affect her own judgment.

Chu Qing and his group arrived at the warehouse very quickly, but Chu Qing and the others did not go in. After Boss Xu and the butler opened the door of the warehouse, the butler led people in, brought out a large and simple box, and placed it in front of Boss Xu. , retreated.

Boss Xu took the key and unlocked the lock, and then opened the box: "You guys can watch whatever you want. Everything that my mother had during her lifetime is here, and there is nothing else."

Chu Qing hummed, and Yao Zongping and the others stepped forward. Liang Yu looked at these things, frowned, raised his head, and looked at Boss Xu with sharp eyes: "Auntie only has these things? What about the others?"

Xu Laodao: "They are all here, I don't know what other things you mean, cousin Yu?"

"How could there be only these? When I came here every month, I would bring one to my aunt. She liked it all. It was placed in front of the dressing table. Why didn't I see it?"

Boss Xu seemed to realize something: "It's those. In fact, my mother didn't like it very much. Later, when she got sick, she accidentally waved it away. After it was broken, I asked someone to throw it away."

Liang Yu gritted her teeth, thinking that Boss Xu was lying, but he couldn't find any other excuses. Could it be that he could let a dead man confront him?

Chu Qing squatted in front of the wooden box, carefully inspecting everything, there were not many things left, most of them were jewelry from Mrs. Xu's lifetime, other than that, the only special thing in the corner was a pure black black wooden box. box.

Chu Qing took out the black wooden box, and when Boss Xu saw it, his face changed slightly, "You guys can't look at this thing."

"Why?" Chu Qing avoided the movement of Boss Xu coming to grab her.

Boss Xu gritted his teeth, "This is something we didn't want to see when my mother was alive...you can't just flip through it."

Chu Qing: "But I think it has something to do with this case, and it is necessary to check it out. Mr. Xu, you are like this, stopping us, it is really embarrassing for us."

Boss Xu's face was not very good-looking, "Is this how your yamen works? Don't you even like to read other people's divorce papers?"

Chu Qing was stunned for a moment: "This is a divorce letter?"

Boss Xu gritted his teeth: "...Yes, so can you return it to me?"

Chu smiled lightly and said: "No. How can I be sure that what you said is true or not, Mr. Xu, let's just take a look. If it is really a divorce letter, we will return it to you immediately, but if you stop... Is there really some ulterior secret?"

Chu Qing was using aggressive methods, and she could tell that Boss Xu didn't understand Cangshu's punishment, so naturally they didn't know, and they had the right to refuse to check.

Sure enough, when he heard the words "unspeakable secret", Boss Xu's expression changed, and he finally thought of something, and gritted his teeth: "Just take a look, and return it to me immediately!"

Chu lightly shook the black wooden box: "Naturally."

Chu Qing lowered her head and opened the black wooden box. The black wooden box was very old. Besides a letter of divorce, there were some small things inside, such as an inconspicuous hairpin, a small bell, and some other things. Weird little things.

But this black wooden box is extremely precious, so it can be seen that what is contained in it should be something that Mrs. Xu cares about.

Chu Qing can still understand the divorce letter. After all, Xu's first marriage was not very good, and this divorce letter was obtained by herself, and it also represented her getting rid of the nightmare, which she did not cherish. Excuse me, it's just that these little things... are a bit old.

Chu Qing twirled a bell and shook it lightly. For some reason, she raised her eyes and saw Boss Xu's face changed, and her expression was also in a daze, as if she was thinking about it.

Chu sighed softly, it seems that these little things should be bought by Mrs. Xu to tease these brothers when they were underage.

It's just that I didn't expect that these little things have been treasured by the Xu family until now.

Chu Qing handed the black wooden box to Yao Zongping, and unfolded the divorce letter. She was just going to take a look at it, but when she unfolded the divorce letter and looked at the handwriting on it, she suddenly caught her eyes, which made Chu Qing stunned for a while. , an inexplicable strange sense of familiarity hit her, and then she thought of something, her eyes widened slightly, with a touch of surprise in her eyes.
