Chapter 68

Several of their families are family friends and grew up together, so men and women are not so particular about defense.

Wei Hong said, and snorted again, "Zhu Sanlang has been a girl since he was a child. He dresses fancy every day, behaves and loves to act coquettishly. Luo Yan and Qin Zhi looked at him like eyes. If he was a hen who could lay eggs, then what else would we do?"

"Wei Hong!" Luo Yan stood up angrily, "If you speak without any restraint, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Wei Hong rolled her eyes, glared at him, walked aside, leaned against a pillar, and boredly pulled up the small beads falling from her clothes.

Just as Zhou Xian finished asking, Chi Shi had already jumped out of the window.

She looked around with a bright look and looked at everyone, "What are you doing one hour before Zhu Sanlang's death?"

This time, it was Miss Gao. She looked at Wei Hong, as if she was afraid that she would talk nonsense again, and said first, "The weather is very cold. I and Wei Hong went down to the first floor early and chose the place farthest from the door and closest to the big fire stove."

"The waiter said that he could roast taro in the stove, so Liu Yiqing followed him to the kitchen to choose taro. When Zhu Sanlang fell down in the morning, Qin Zhi sprained his ankle in order to protect him and never came downstairs. His and Luo Yan's houses were one on the left of Zhu Sanlang and the other on the right."

"We and Wei Hong live in Room No. 3 on the third floor, right above Zhu Sanlang's room. Luo Yan went out to see the horses early in the morning. The six of us came out this time and didn't bring our servants. It was so cold that he was worried that the waiter would not be able to take good care of him, and that we would be in trouble when we returned to the city."

"So we went to the stable to see the horses. Wei Hong and I sat down for a long time. Because we were embarrassed, we ordered a lot of dishes, snacks and so on. Zhu Sanlang didn't come down, so we couldn't move our chopsticks, so we continued the tea several times."

"There were many people sitting in the lobby and they all saw it."

Chi Shi nodded, then Wei Hong and Miss Gao had absent evidence on the surface. But this doesn't mean anything. There are many people in the lobby. If someone gets up and comes out, the people next to him may not notice them.

You can kill someone just by going upstairs.

"Liu Yiqing, how long have you been going to get the taro? But I have been with the waiter?"

When Liu Yiqing heard this, she shook her head. He kept holding Miss Gao. He didn't look very familiar with the others. His face turned pale and he looked very unhappy. "I'm going, but the kitchen is too messy. The waiter led me to search for it for a long time, but he didn't find taro."

"Because Tao Niang, that is, Gao... I really want to eat, so I went to the horse wing to lead the horse, wanted to go to the nearby farm and buy some. The farmhouse is far away, and I don't know how long it took me to go. When I went, I didn't see Luo Yan, and when I came back, he hadn't come back yet."

Luo Yan's expression changed when he heard this, "Wei Hong and Zhu San were in a bad relationship. They were quarreling all the way. I took advantage of the time to feed the horses and found a shelter outside. After staying for a while, I wanted to be quiet alone. Isn't that okay?"

"Don't have something to say. When we came back, Zhu San was weak and walked very slowly. You said you would throw him away. When I didn't know that Gao Tao's sister had just married a noble family, Zhu San pestered Gao Tao every day and wanted to take this path and save his father."

"Gao Tao once liked Zhu San before and almost got married. You have long been resentful, right?"

Chi Shi listened and looked at Zhou Xian. What a guy, Zhu Sanlang is simply the center of the storm!

When Liu Yiqing heard this, she changed her face, "What are you saying? What good thing are you? Why did Wei Hong become such a person? You are not entirely blamed? You bought a house for Zhu San in Liuye Lane, thinking I don't know?"

Luo Yan opened his mouth and quickly glanced at Wei Hong. He didn't continue saying anything. He turned his head aside and said angrily, "Qin Zhi, what are you doing?"

Qin Zhi jumped a few steps and helped them between the two, "Don't argue, we are all good brothers who grew up together. Although Zhu San was too much before, he was already dead. Death was the most important thing. The past things passed."

"Wei Hong, don't be angry. I bought the house in Liuye Lane with Luo Yan. Zhu San's father and brother were exiled, and he had nowhere to go. We are brothers, so we can't tell him to stay on the streets. Gao Tao has never liked Zhu San. Don't talk nonsense about being angry and defam the reputation of the little girl."

"Marriage is also a matter of vain. Yiqing, you have known Gao Tao for so many years, but you still don't know her character? Don't take it to your heart."

After Qin Zhi said this, he bowed to Zhou Xian, squatted down again, took off his shoes and socks, revealing his red and swollen feet.

"I sprained my ankle and I was unable to move. I was embarrassed to bother others, so I applied medicinal oil in the room. I had told them a long time ago that I would not go downstairs to have dinner, so I asked the waiter to bring it to me and deliver it to the room."

"During this period, I have never gone downstairs or left the door. My room is next to Zhu San, but I haven't heard any strange sounds. It was Luo Yan who called Zhu San dead, and I came out of the room."

"If you say a witness, there is no one. I'll stay in the house alone."

After hearing everyone's words, Chi Shi nodded, looked around, and said seriously, "No matter how sensible they were, Zhu Sanlang was undoubtedly killed, and the murderer was one of his fellow travelers."

Wei Hong, Gao Tao, Liu Yiqing, Qin Zhi, and Luo Yan all changed their faces.

"I just roughly tested Zhu San's body, and there was a clear red mark on his collarbone. He was wearing a middle garment to meet the guests, but his outer robe was not covered. When he was killed, he greeted him face to face."

"The murderer is someone he is very familiar with, and it can even be said to be his lover."

Before Chi Shi could finish his words, he was interrupted...

"But this is a secret room. Could the murderer be able to fly to the sky and escape?" The person who spoke was the corpses who had made bets before.

Chi Shi shook his head, "It's just a secret room that is easy to crack. There is a lot of water on the door frame and under the charcoal basin. Logically, put it under the door latch and place it in a charcoal basin, and the door should be very hot."

"But that's not the case. When I touched it, I not only didn't feel hot, but it was even a little cold. Moreover, everyone thought that the water on the ground was boiled and sprayed out."

"But the water in the teapot will not be so wet. I have seen that the water inside is still very full. Moreover, the charcoal basin is black and gray. What does this mean? It means that the charcoal in the basin has not been burned yet and it has been extinguished."

"The ash was also wet. All this shows that the main function of this charcoal basin is not to cook tea to prevent the wind, but to disguise the secret room."

"The door of the inn is a carved wooden hollow door, and the holes are pasted with paper, which is to prevent gentlemen and villains. The door bolt is also very simple. It is to place a door support in the middle of the two doors, and then put a stick in the middle, so the door cannot be pushed open casually."
