The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 25 Su Muzhe (9)

I stared at Su Mu for a while, he seemed to feel something, and looked towards me, meeting my eyes.I hurriedly smiled at him, and he also smiled and nodded at me, with a little shyness in it, as if he knew that I had seen through his love for Murong, so he was a little embarrassed.

Since the first time we met, I have had a very good impression of him. Since then, a series of events have changed my view of him, but at this moment, facing his clear eyes, I can't help but feel a little shaken in my heart. I don't know what to think. Are those things true.

After Murong led the child through the salute, he took him out to announce to everyone that this child is the heir of the Mu family from now on.The guests all congratulated Murong, Su Mu also came over, invited the mayor and me to sit at the banquet, and after toasting us again, he said please accompany, and went to help Murong deal with the matter.

I watched him take the child's hand from Murong's, and I didn't know what to say, which made the child laugh out loud, and he was very affectionate to him.I was a little dazed watching it, when the mayor called me and asked me what I was looking at, but I quickly covered it up with words.The local sages at the same table knew that I was a patrol horse, and they all came to respect me. I hurriedly said that I didn't dare, and returned the respect one by one. When I put down the glass, I was already a little tipsy.

The mayor saw that I was overdosing, so he blocked other people's toasts for me.I held out a few chopsticks and vegetables to suppress the alcohol, and was eating and drinking, when suddenly a man rushed in from the door, walking too fast, and even tripped over the stone steps at the courtyard gate, the man looked after me. Before he got up from the ground, he shouted: "Young Master! Young Master!"

The steward of the Mu family recognized him as a servant of the Su family, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up, and asked him: "Aren't you helping the old lady at home, why are you in such a hurry to find my uncle?"

The man grabbed the hem of the Mu family steward's clothes and shouted: "Tell me quickly, where is the young master?"

There was a cry in his tone, at this moment everyone saw that something was wrong, and hurriedly asked him what was going on, and what happened to the Su family.The man looked around in bewilderment, loosened the skirt of the Mu family steward's clothes, and said with a mournful face: "Old madam, you have been killed!"

Mrs. Su was killed!

I was so startled that I stood up from my seat, and the mayor also stood up, rushed to the man, and asked, "Who killed the old lady?"

"Qiu Yehong! He broke into the old lady's room and stabbed her to death with scissors."

People in the courtyard whispered to each other when they heard the words, they were panicked, they all said that Qiu Yehong had lost all conscience and killed three people in a row, if he was not caught, he would probably kill more people, everyone came to beg the town Long, please catch him as soon as possible.The mayor also stomped his feet and said: "Alas! From this point of view, these three people were indeed killed by Qiu Yehong."

I asked the visitor: "Qiu Yehong killed Mrs. Su, did someone see it with his own eyes?"

The man mourned: "The pair of scissors that stabbed Steward Su to death was found in the old lady's room, who else is it?"

It turned out that no one saw Qiu Yehong murder with his own eyes.But even so, it should be able to conclude that the murderer was Qiu Yehong.The murderer who killed Qiu Tian'er was nothing more than one of Murong, Qiu Yehong and Mrs. Su. I was suspicious of Mrs. Su because of what Murong said last night. Now that Mrs. Su was also killed, naturally The suspicion was cleared.

At this time, Su Mu heard the news of his mother's death, and ran out of the backyard staggeringly, ignoring what to say to the people in the courtyard, and yelled sadly: "Mother!" and ran towards the door and go.

Murong also came out from behind with the child, hesitated for a moment, handed the child over to the Mu family, and hurriedly chased after Su Mu himself.Seeing this, the mayor hurriedly pulled me along to follow.

When we arrived at Su's house, everyone gathered in Mrs. Su's room, but all the men were outside the door, and only a few women were in the room.When Su Mu arrived outside the room, he was so anxious that he was about to squeeze into the room, but several women in the room came out and stopped him.Su Mu was about to throw them away in grief and anger, when several women hurriedly told him that it was not convenient for him to go in because the old lady had no clothes on.

Su Mu was stunned for a while, then turned around and looked at us blankly.Murong hesitated for a moment, then asked: "Could it be that mother was also killed while taking a bath?"

A woman nodded and said: "Exactly. It is exactly the same as the death of Mrs. Mu's young lady."

"What about the water in the tub?" I couldn't help asking out loud.

"I haven't had time to send it to the old lady's room." The woman replied.

It was the same as when Qiu Tian'er died.The mayor and I exchanged glances. At that time, Qiu Yehong killed Qiu Tian'er just before the helpers brought the water into the house.Now that Mrs. Su also died in the bathtub, Qiu Yehong is naturally the biggest suspect, but Murong defended him, which may have a deep meaning.

The mayor asked several women from the Su family to dress the old lady, then went in to check, and came out with a pair of scissors in his hand, saying that the old lady Su had been pierced through the throat by the scissors. As confirmed by Murong, it is the one missing from Qiu Tian'er's room.

The mayor nodded and looked up at Murong.Murong's face was pale, as if he would faint at any time, but he still insisted and said, "Even if the death conditions of the two people are the same, it doesn't mean that they were killed by Qiu Yehong, right?"

Seeing that Murong was still defending Qiu Yehong, a woman seemed a little bit reluctant, and said quickly: "The old lady has already suffered misfortune, it wasn't Qiu Yehong, could it be that the old lady killed herself?"

Murong was at a loss for words for a while, the mayor took a deep look at her, and went to ask the Su family about the situation of the old lady when she died.Several women said that the old lady was busy taking care of Su's funeral, she was a little tired for a while, and she was sweating again, so she asked them to boil water and send it to the room, preparing to take a bath to relieve fatigue, but who knew that the water was sent in? After a while, I heard the old lady yelling in horror in the room. Several women rushed to the outside of the room to inquire, but the old lady did not respond.They knocked open the door, went in and saw that the window of the room was open, but the old lady died in the bathtub, with a pair of bloodstained scissors lying on the ground.

Now all the signs point to Qiu Yehong, and Murong defended him several times. Before Qiu Yehong went to Mu's house to look for her, he was really suspicious. A murder case, this matter is too serious, my little town mayor can't handle it anymore, so I need to report it to the county. It's just that there are some problems, and I still have to ask the eldest lady."

I could see that he actually wanted to ask Murong to go to the town office for questioning, but because Su Mu and his family were both big families, he didn't dare to speak easily.Murong's face changed drastically when he heard this, but he didn't say a word. At this moment, Su Mu came out of the room and said in a rustling voice, "Zhuo Jing is also a victim. How can the mayor doubt her?"

He had been in the room by the old lady Su's corpse just now, and he was so sad that he couldn't help himself. Now he heard that the mayor wanted to question Murong, so he walked out of the room, but his eyes were red and swollen, and his voice was hoarse.Murong listened to him defending himself, and gave him a strange look.

I found that Su Mu looked at Murong with quiet and beautiful eyes, but Murong often looked at Su Mu with strange eyes.The relationship between this young couple is really strange, I thought to myself.

After hearing what Su Mu said, the mayor hurriedly said, "I didn't doubt the young lady, but three human lives are more important than the world, so I have to be more cautious, so I asked the young lady for some questions."

Su Mu still had some displeasure on his face, but Murong said: "Since the mayor has doubts, feel free to ask me. Do I need to go back to the town office with you?"

The mayor was hesitating, Murong turned around and said: "Let's go. I will go back to the town hall with the mayor."

Su Mu looked at her and opened her mouth, but said nothing.Seeing that Murong took the initiative to go back to the town office with him, the mayor had a big accident, but caught him in his arms and hurriedly dragged me to follow.Murong didn't speak on the way, and we didn't dare to ask her anything on the way. The three of us went back to the town hall in silence, and the mayor naturally didn't dare to treat her as a murderer, so he invited her into a room and went to the town hall again. Tea was served for her, and then I was asked to help record and start asking questions.

"Everyone thinks that Qiu Yehong is the murderer, why doesn't the young mistress think so?" The mayor thought for a moment and asked.

"He is my sister-in-law's younger brother, and he has been relying on her for support all these years, why kill her?" Murong asked back.

"Does the young mistress know something?" the mayor asked again.

Murong hesitated for a moment, and said: "The day before my sister-in-law died, my mother-in-law went to Mu's house. At that time, the two seemed to have had a quarrel. When my mother-in-law left, she looked extremely annoyed. I was at Mu's house at the time, and asked What happened to my sister-in-law, but she refused to say anything."

"Ms. Su had a quarrel with your sister-in-law?" Both the mayor and I had an accident, and the mayor hurriedly said, "And on the day your sister-in-law died, Mrs. Su was also at Mu's house?"

"That's right. Not long after she came out of my sister-in-law's room, Qiu Yehong also came out of my sister-in-law's room. So there were actually two people who entered my sister-in-law's room that day."

"So you suspect that your sister-in-law was not killed by Qiu Yehong, but by Mrs. Su, but that Qiu Yehong entered the room afterwards?"

Murong pursed his lips, and said in a low voice: "I never dare to mention this matter in front of others." In his words, he acquiesced in his suspicion of Mrs. Su.

The mayor and I looked at each other, not knowing that there were such twists and turns.After a while, the mayor asked: "Madam Su has entered your sister-in-law's room, does anyone else know about this?"

"It was the steward of the Mu family who brought her to the room. Many people in the family saw her."

"Even if Mrs. Su is suspected of your sister-in-law's death, what about her own death, and Steward Su? It wouldn't be Mrs. Su who killed Steward Su first, and then killed herself?"

"I can't figure it out either. I just said that my sister-in-law's death is suspicious. I don't know what happened to the other two murders."

"The most important thing is, if Qiu Yehong didn't kill anyone, why did he hide and dare not see anyone?" The mayor asked, "Also, why did he go to Mu's house to look for you that day?"

"He went to warn me to be careful of Su Mu." Murong gave us a strange look.

This kind of look appeared in her eyes again, and I couldn't help but say: "Every time the young mistress looks at the young master's eyes, it seems a little strange. Does the young mistress think there is anything wrong with the young master?"

"What's wrong with him?" Murong was stunned for a moment, "I don't know what's wrong with him, but since he went out for a trip, he became a little strange after he came back."

"Strange? Where is it strange?" I asked.

Murong bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth, and didn't answer me. After a long time, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said: "We have been married for two years, although he cared and loved me in front of others, but when it was just the two of us, he changed. He has a face and ignores me, not only that, I even feel that he hates me a little. The mayor may also know that after I married Su's family, I returned to my mother's house every three days, but who knows the reason behind this! "
