Chapter 47 The Murderer Is Him
Li Tianxiao asked, "Is the murderer not here?"

Chu Qing shook his head and said: "Not necessarily, either the murderer is not here, or the other party is really good at concealing emotions, maybe he is hiding in the dark at this moment, peeping at this scene."

Li Tianxiao was stunned for a moment: "But I didn't feel anything strange."

Chu Qing said: "That's the former." It seems that the other party is much more difficult to deal with than he imagined.

"Master Lu is poisoned?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"No, I reminded him to drink a certain kind of tea, which can force out the poison in his body, but now it's just vomiting out the poison in his body, which is beneficial and harmless to his body." Chu Qing said.

"Aren't you afraid that the other party will know that the poison in his body has been detected?" Li Tianxiao said.

"We are in the open, and the enemy is in the dark. After these few days, we probably know what we should know, so it doesn't matter." This time, she just wanted to take this opportunity to make the murderer think that the poison was released in advance. If so, there will be subtle changes on his face.But obviously, she underestimated the other party, and the other party's expression didn't change at all.

Who is the murderer?
So in this way, how to check it?
"Do you need me to do anything?" Li Tianxiao asked.

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "I don't need it for now, how is Mr. Yu doing? Did you find anything?"

"Not yet, Yulinzi is too big." It will take some time to go through all of them.

Lu Yu's coffin and bottle were placed next to Lu Cinian, and Lu Gui was helped by the housekeeper to burn incense. In one night, most of his hair turned white, but because of vomited blood, his spirit improved a lot.He walked aside with red eyes, sat on the futon, lowered his head, very sad.

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao walked over to offer incense, and then walked up to Lu Gui and said, "Master Lu, my condolences will change."

Lu Gui waved his hands feebly, but said nothing.

The housekeeper said: "Forgive me, you two, the master didn't sleep all night after waking up last night."

"How's his illness?" Chu Qing asked.

The housekeeper said: "The doctor said that there is nothing serious about the master's body, it's just that he has been worrying these days, which caused his blood to surge up and he vomited blood."

"That's it." Chu smiled lightly, and glanced at Lu Gui, "In that case, let's go back to the side courtyard first, and come back later." She glanced at Li Tianxiao, and the two walked out.

But when he was leaving the mourning hall, he was almost bumped by a tall man.

Fortunately, Li Tianxiao grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him, so he didn't hit her.

Chu Qing raised her eyes, the man missed him, she only saw the side face of the man, the man arrived in front of the mourning hall, obviously felt the mood fluctuate, the next moment, the mood stabilized again, lit a stick of incense, and finally Walking in front of Lu Gui, he knelt down: "Master!"

Lu Gui didn't speak, but the housekeeper patted him on the shoulder: "There are still many things in the mansion, you should go and help Second Young Master deal with them first."

The man nodded and walked out.

Chu Qing stood next to Li Tianxiao without saying a word, staring straight at the man, and when the man left, she came back to her senses, smiled at the housekeeper who was looking over, and walked out.Chu Qing waited until she walked out of the mourning hall, only to realize that Li Tianxiao's arm was around her waist all the time, she lowered her head, not recovering herself in a daze.Li Tianxiao also noticed it, and withdrew his hand: "Sorry, you almost bumped into that person just now, so let's go."

Chu Qing nodded in a daze, touched her waist: "It's okay."

Li Tianxiao put his retracted arm behind his back, curled his fingers into it, and a deep darkness flashed across his eyes: I didn't expect that Mr. Chu's waist was so thin?
When Li Tianxiao came back to his senses, he realized that Chu Qing had already called him several times: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong with you?" Chu Qing looked over suspiciously.

"It's okay, what did you just say?" Li Tianxiao asked.

"Do you know who the person who almost bumped into me just now is?" Chu Qing said.

"From the perspective of age, it should be the steward's son, Lu Da." Li Tianxiao said, the person he had asked to check the Lu family before, from the perspective of age and clothes, it should be Lu Da.

Chu lightly nodded.

"Why, is there a problem?" Li Tianxiao said, "Lu Da is thirty-two years old this year. He is the butler's adopted son. He has been loyal to the Lu family all these years, so there shouldn't be any problem."

"Yizi," Chu Qing touched his chin and smiled, the dull side face flashed in his mind, and said, "Do you think... who does this Lu Da look like?"

"Huh?" Li Tianxiao was stunned.

"Earlier, I asked the housekeeper how Mr. Lu's illness was. Think about what the housekeeper said?" Chu Qing said.

Li Tianxiao thought about it seriously, and said: "The butler said there is nothing serious, but it's just worrying, which caused the blood to surge."

Chu Qing nodded and said: "Well, it sounds like there is nothing wrong with it, but Master Lu vomited black blood, do you think the doctor will not doubt it? What's more, after the poison was vomited out, the doctor must have some problems with Master Lu's physical condition." I realize that it is impossible to be 'no problem'. Master Lu probably doesn't care about his body like this. As the housekeeper most trusted by Master Lu, the housekeeper said there is no serious problem. This is the most problematic."

Li Tianxiao said: "You suspect that the housekeeper is the murderer? But how is it possible? Not to mention that this housekeeper has been with Lu Gui for more than 30 years, but he is very loyal."

Chu Qing said: "He is not the murderer. However, he is helping the murderer to conceal it."

Li Tianxiao asked in confusion, "What?"

Chu Qingdao: "He probably didn't know that Lu Gui had chronic poison in his body before, so after the doctor said it, his first reaction was to hide it, which is strange, unless he knew who the murderer was and who gave it to him. Master Lu poisoned him. He wanted to protect the murderer. Because, if the housekeeper was the murderer, he knew that we were investigating, and he must have noticed something. He would not hide it so hastily, because it would expose him, but he was not. In a mess, the idea of ​​protecting the murderer gained the upper hand, so naturally I reflexively wanted to hide it."

"Then you are suspicious?" Li Tianxiao asked.

Chu Qing smiled: "You help me check one thing first..."

a day later.

Chu Qing and Li Tianxiao reappeared in the mourning hall. Although Lu Gui's poison was cleared, he was in a bad mood, so he looked sluggish. Hearing the report, he suddenly raised his head. His sharp eyes were like eagles on the verge of death. Life-saving food: "Have you found the murderer?!"

Under the eyes of Lu Gui and the housekeeper, Chu Qing nodded: "I found it."

"Who is it?" Lu Gui stood up abruptly, grabbed Chu Qing's arm tightly.

Li Tianxiao pulled his hand down, his eyes were sharp: "Master Lu, it's better to calm down."

Only then did Lu Gui realize his gaffe: "Old man... just too impatient! Mr. Chu, tell me who the murderer is? Who killed a thousand swords and dared to kill my son!"

Chu Qing said: "As for the murderer, I will definitely tell, but before that, I need the housekeeper to call all the members of the Lu family here."

"Everyone?" The butler was stunned.

Chu Qing said: "Yes, including servants and servants, everyone."

A flash of panic flashed across the housekeeper's expression, he quickly restrained himself, and said uneasy: "Then...do you need to invite someone from the government?"

Chu lightly shook his head and said, "No need."

She was only here to help investigate the case, and it is inconvenient to involve people in the government. It is best to keep a low profile if she can keep a low profile.Besides, when the matter is clear, it will depend on how Lu Gui handles this matter.

The butler breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly went to inform everyone to gather in front of the mourning hall.

After half an hour, everyone gathered.

About fifty people surrounded the small courtyard in front of the mourning hall.

Lu Gui's eyes couldn't wait to sweep over the crowd, but he couldn't tell which one was the murderer.

He was anxious: "Young Master Chu, who is the murderer?"

Chu Qing didn't speak, but walked around the more than 50 servants, finally, standing in front of Lu Jincai, a flash of surprise flashed in Lu Jincai's eyes, just about to say something, Chu Qing walked aside again , standing in front of the butler, the butler's eyes were even more dazed, not knowing why.Unexpectedly, Chu Qing moved aside again, and stood in front of Lu Da. Lu Da's dull face looked at Chu Qing blankly.

Chu Qing moved her feet and stood in front of Lu Gui again. Just when Lu Gui was in a hurry, Chu Qing said: "The murderer is... your son, Mr. Lu."

Everyone: "..."

Lu Gui reacted, his face turned livid: "Young Master Chu! What do you mean? My Nian'er is dead, do you mean that Nian'er killed herself? What kind of murderer is that?! "

Everyone was also indignant, except for two people who were slightly shocked.

Chu Qing looked at Lu Gui and smiled: "Master Lu, I didn't say the murderer was Mr. Lu, I said 'your son'." Chu Qing emphasized the word "your son".

Lu Gui looked at her blankly: "Isn't that just Nian'er?"

Chu Qing raised the corners of her mouth and smiled treacherously: "Not necessarily."

Lu Gui sat on the grand teacher's chair and stared at Chu Qing in a daze, his chaotic eyes rolled, and then he thought of something, his body shook suddenly, and he raised his head suddenly, with a flash of fear in his eyes: "You...you... He quickly looked around, anger and shock flashed in his eyes, but more of it was ecstasy after a touch of surprise!

Chu Qing said slowly: "It seems that, Master Lu, you are thinking of something."

Lu Gui supported the armrest and stood up, excitedly said: "Chu, Mr. Chu, are you serious?"

Chu Qing shrugged and said, "So what if it's true, so what if it's not true? However, before that, I think, Master Lu, you should meet someone first before talking about it."

"A person? Who?" Lu Gui quickly looked around, his eyes rolling wildly.

As soon as Chu Qing finished speaking, one of the servants came out slowly.

Lu Gui suddenly looked over, looked at the old woman, and then at Chu Qing: "Could it be a dumb woman?" Why did Mr. Chu let him see the dumb woman?
Just the next moment, something even more shocking happened.

The reason why the dumb woman is called the dumb woman is because she has been in the Lu family for more than 20 years. However, she has never spoken. It is said that she hurt her throat and was unable to speak. But at this moment, she suddenly called out: " Lu Ergou, do you still remember me?"
