The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 29 Su Muzhe (13)

After confirming that Qiu Yehong was not the murderer, the mayor naturally no longer detained him, but asked him to stay at the town office until the people from the county verified the three murders, and then closed the case.There was no business for me anymore, so I bid farewell to the mayor and prepared to go back to the hotel to write a letter home.

The mayor thanked me solemnly, and sent me out of the town hall before turning back.I walked back to the hotel alone. Last night, we were too late, and we didn't have much rest. I went back to the back room and was about to catch up on sleep. As soon as I lay down on the bed, I suddenly thought of something.

On the night when Steward Su found out that he was staying in the hotel and was going to return the burden, I was washing clothes in the dark, and afterward chasing him and Qiu Yehong out, I forgot the clothes in the backyard. When something happened, I remembered it at this time, so I hurriedly got up and went to the backyard to find clothes.

The clothes are still in the backyard, but they were put into the wooden basin and moved under the eaves, probably the owner of the shop helped me clean them up.The clothes have not been washed yet. Since I came to the backyard, I was going to wash them before going back, so I went to the well to fetch a bucket of water and poured it into the wooden basin. Then I touched the clothes to see if there was something I forgot in clothes.

At this moment, I remembered something again and almost jumped out of the chair.When I first arrived in Yutian Town, I carried the letter from Su Mu to Murong in my arms and went out to deliver the letter. Later, because Murong was not at Su’s house, and Qiu Yehong soiled my clothes again, I went back to the hotel. Then I changed my clothes, but—after I changed my clothes, I didn't take out the letter from my arms.

Everyone is looking for this letter from Su Mu to Murong, and this letter is actually in my dirty clothes!
If it wasn't for washing clothes at this time, I would have completely forgotten about it.I patted my head, smiled wryly, then reached out to touch the letter on the clothes, and the moment my hands touched the clothes, I was stunned again.

The letter is not in the clothes.

Looking back now, I'm sure I didn't take out the letter at the time, but what about the letter?I hurriedly rummaged through the whole dress, but found nothing.Someone took the letter from my clothes.I hurriedly threw my clothes on the ground and ran to the front of the store to ask the owner.

The owner of the store saw that I washed the clothes repeatedly and ran away, and suspected that I didn't want to wash it at all.I didn't wait for him to speak, so I asked him if he had taken anything from my clothes.When the owner heard it, he thought I had lost something, so he quickly explained to me that he just saw me leave the clothes in the backyard, so he picked them up for me in the wooden basin.

I calmed down and told him that I didn't lose any valuables, but I forgot to take out a letter in my clothes at that time, and I can't find it now, so I wanted to ask him if he had seen the letter.

After thinking about it intently, the shop owner shook his head, without any impression.I asked him, at that time I piled the dirty clothes at the foot of the bed, but when I returned to the room the next day, I found that the clothes were draped at the end of the bed. I asked him to think about whether he put the clothes on or not. It is unknown if the letter fell from the clothes while wearing it.

"No." The store owner was very sure, "I didn't see anything falling on the clothes at the time. If there was, even if I didn't pay attention, then the big letter would not have escaped by itself, and it should still be in the room."

What he said made sense, so I ran back to the room and searched the room carefully, including the cracks in the cabinet behind the door under the bed, but the letter still disappeared like a heartbroken man.

What the hell, where did the letter go?I sat on the bed and recalled the scene when I changed the clothes. There was no one in the room at that time, and the only people who knew the letter on the clothes that night were Su Mu and Steward Su who I met at Su’s house. And Qiu Yehong and the mayor I met after leaving Su's house.

The letter never left me until I changed my clothes.Su Mu hadn't been to the hotel that night, so he couldn't have taken the letter away, and Manager Su went to grab my bag the next day. Obviously he thought the letter was in the bag, so he couldn't have taken it away.As for Qiu Yehong, if he had got the letter at that time, he wouldn't have to go after Manager Su that night.

So there was only one person who could really take away the letter, and that was the mayor.However, when I changed my clothes that night, the mayor chatted with the owner in front of the store, and after I came out, he was eating noodles with me, and he had no chance to touch the clothes I changed. How could it be possible to take them away? letter?

I couldn't help but fell into confusion. Fortunately, everything has been settled now. Qiu Yehong originally guessed that there was evidence in the letter that Su Mu vented his anger to Murong after killing Su Fu, but now it seems that Su Mu is not heartless to Murong, so that The contents of the letter were only Qiu Yehong's conjecture, not enough to be believed.

Thinking of this, I comforted myself in my heart, and went back to the backyard, finally washing the clothes that had been neglected for many days.There was nothing to do in the next few days, and I wrote letters to my family in the hotel. Occasionally, the mayor came to talk to me and told me that someone from the county had come to verify the matter. However, if this matter spreads, it may be indecent , so the county means that since the murderer has committed suicide, it should not be widely publicized.

This coincides with the meaning of Qiu Yehong.I asked him where the Autumn Leaf Red Man was, and the mayor said, "He suffers from thirst and has gone to seek medical treatment elsewhere. I guess he doesn't want to stay in the town anymore." He sighed , and said, "Two siblings of the Qiu family, one died unexpectedly, and the other went away. They didn't end well, it's a pity, it's a pity."

I secretly slandered in my heart that Qiu Tian'er ruined the happiness of Murong and Su Fu for her personal affair, but she is not innocent.But it's good to think about it in peace, there is no need to say it.After sighing a few words, the mayor took his leave and left.After I got up and sent him out of the shop, I turned around and came back. Not long after, the manager of the Mu family suddenly walked in.

When I saw him, I thought something had happened to the Mu family.Seeing my tense expression, Manager Mu hurriedly said, "I'm here to ask Mr. to write a letter to my family. I have nothing else to do."

Seeing that he just wanted to write a letter home, I felt relieved and asked him to sit down opposite me.But Guanshi Mu shook his head, saying that the newly established Patriarch of the Mu family has a lot of miscellaneous things, he can't stay here for too long, and would like to ask me to come to Mu's house when I'm free, and write this letter for him.

It is common for him to go to the city to write letters from home immediately, so I naturally agreed to him and told him that I must go to Mu's house to find him in the afternoon.Manager Mu thanked me, then turned and left.

In the afternoon, after finishing what I was doing, I went to Mu's house.Since Murong left the town office that day, he went straight to Mu's house and never went back to Su's house.It is said that Su Mu often came to Mu's house to look for her, but she avoided seeing her.Manager Mu didn't know the reason, he was an old man who watched Murong grow up, so he couldn't help persuading her, there is nothing like this when young couples quarrel, they always avoid seeing each other, it will inevitably chill my uncle's heart.

I walked all the way inside and looked around, but I didn't see Murong. Hearing this, I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart. I said that if we don't meet, it's just that Murong chilled Su Mu's heart. If we meet, I'm afraid Murong will kill Su Mu. heart of.

Mu Guanshi is getting older, so it is inevitable that he will be a bit rambling. After talking about Murong and Su Mu, he turned around and said, "Don't be afraid of making jokes, sir. After the young lady was killed, I thought that the Mu family might be disbanded." , so I wrote a letter to my nephew from out of town, planning to go to him for retirement after the Mu family’s affairs are settled properly. Who would have thought that the Mu family would have another head, so I would like to trouble Mr. My nephew wrote a letter, telling him that I will not go to his place for the time being.”

Following his wishes, I drew up the letter in the hall, read it to him again, and then put the letter in an envelope.Because I came to Mu's house to write a letter, I didn't bring a pen and paper, but borrowed it from the mansion. After I finished writing the letter, I casually asked Mr. Mu. Since the mansion has pens and paper, Murong must have it too. If she can read and write, just ask her to write this letter, why ask me to come here again.

Guan Shi said: "My girl had a temper tantrum with my uncle a few days ago, and stayed at home for a few days, but she finally agreed to go back today, so she is not at home."

I was shocked when I heard this, and said in a broken voice, "Have Murong and Su Mu returned to Su's house?"

As soon as I finished speaking, I suddenly felt that something was wrong. I always felt that something was about to happen, so I hurriedly grabbed Manager Mu and asked, "Is your girl really going back to Su's house?"

Although Guan Shi didn't know that his girl had returned to her husband's house, why am I so anxious here, but seeing my ugly face, he hurriedly said: "After reading a letter this morning, the girl told me to go to the cellar to buy a jar of good wine. , said she was going to take her back to Su's house, but after I got some wine, she went back to Su's house."

"So it wasn't the young master of the Su family who came to call her, but she went back on her own initiative?" I felt even worse when I heard it, "What about the letter?"

"Here, here." As Manager Mu said, he reached out and found a letter from the stack of papers I was writing just now, and handed it to me.I took it over and took a look, and suddenly I felt cold all over.This letter, the one that disappeared from my clothes, somehow appeared in Mu's house.

"Why is this letter here?" I asked Mu Guanshi blankly.

"I don't know either." Manager Mu scratched his head, "That day Mu's adoptive son, the family came and went, and then Mrs. Su had an accident, and the girl and uncle rushed to Su's house. I will send the guests After the reception, I went to clean the hall and found this letter on a table, but I don't know who it was. The girl was away a few days ago, and I forgot about it. I didn't remember it until today, so I handed it to her. She went back to Su's house after reading it."

My hands trembled a bit, and I was about to open the letter in my hand to read it. At this moment, Manager Mu came back to his senses, and immediately called out "Hey" twice, and said, "Sir, this is a letter from my girl." , how can you see, sir?"

After reading this letter, Murong actually took the initiative to go back to Su's house. She didn't need to think about it and knew that she would not go to reconcile with Su Mu.If it is as Qiu Yehong guessed, there is evidence that Su Mu killed Su Fu in this letter.So what will Murong do when he learns that Su Mu has ruined her life and killed the person she loves?
I couldn't help shivering, and hurriedly blocked Guanshi Mu's hand, and said anxiously: "A big accident is about to happen!"

Manager Mu was taken aback by me. Before I had time to ask me, I took the opportunity to quickly pull out the letter, glanced at it a few times, and my heart sank to the bottom of the water. The letter actually did exactly what Qiu Yehong said, recording Su Mu The evidence of killing Su Fu was not what Qiu Yehong guessed, it was to avenge Qiu Tian'er.

Su Mu told Murong in the letter that he had had enough of Su Fu standing between them and becoming an obstacle between them, so he got rid of him so that Murong could be at ease and be with him well——Su Mu really was Empathizing with Murong, she felt that Su Fu was in the way, so she got rid of him.After Murong learned what he and Qiu Tian'er had done to him before, and saw this letter, what would he do to Su Mu?
I gasped, and in a moment of urgency, I also forgot that Guanshi Mu could not read, so I spread the letter in front of him and asked anxiously, "Look quickly, is this your uncle's handwriting?"

Manager Mu looked at me inexplicably, but seeing that I was sweating profusely from anxiety, he knew something was wrong, and hurriedly said: "The writing on the wall is my uncle's handwriting, sir, you can compare it."

The small running script of Wen Zhengming hanging on the wall of the hall was actually written by Su Mu.I was in a big accident, so I hurriedly asked again: "Are you sure this is written by your uncle?"

Manager Mu nodded, and said with certainty: "At that time, I watched him write it, or I took it to frame, it can't be wrong."

He said it firmly, but I suddenly shuddered.When I first went to Su’s house to deliver a letter, I saw Su Mulin write Wen Zhengming with my own eyes. At that time, he even took a piece of paper for me to comment on, and his handwriting that night was completely different from the writing on the hall wall!
