But Wei Ziwan reacted faster, she turned sideways quickly, stretched out her hand to grab Bai Zhi's arm and dodged to the side, the two of them took two steps back together, leaving Lu Qu'er in the air.

"Stop." Bai Li shouted loudly.

There was a sudden silence in the room, and Lu Qu'er's crying stopped, and then she knelt on the ground silently, sobbing in a low voice.

"Brother, we..." Bai Zhi was about to explain.

Bai Li glared at her: "Shut up, you guys will talk about it later."

Bai Zhi pursed her lips and stopped talking, Wei Ziwan took half a step closer and stood shoulder to shoulder with her.

Bai Li and Wu Zuo let Guanshi Lu down together.

He looked at Lu Qu'er who was kneeling, and then at Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan who were standing.

"Go to the lobby and wait."

So, inside and outside the house, a group of people hurried to the hall and asked Mr. Qiu to question him for a while. After two quarters of an hour, they saw Bai Li walking slowly with Bai Shu on his arm. Invite the old owner.

Bai Shu sat on the chair, looked at the people in the hall, and roughly counted more than ten people.

He raised his eyebrows and asked everyone, "Has anyone seen Guanshi Lu today, the living Guanshi?"

"Back to the old owner, no one has seen him today." Mr. Qiu replied with a bow.

Bai Shu picked up the teacup on the table and said, "What about yesterday?"

"The last time Guanshi Lu left the account room was at noon yesterday, and he was looking for Aunt Chen." A young boy in the account room raised his head, and his eyes fell on the woman beside him.

Aunt Chen took a deep breath, raised her head and said, "Guan Lu came for a while and left without saying where he was going."

Bai Shu looked at Mr. Qiu.

Mr. Qiu said indifferently: "Guan Lu intends to find a continuation. He once said that Aunt Chen is very eye-catching. He did go to see Aunt Chen at noon yesterday. As for when he left, no one knows, because it was just in time for dinner, but Around Xu, someone saw Guanshi Lu returning to his yard..."

Bai Shu took a sip of tea after hearing the words, and then looked at Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan: "Have you been to Guanshi Lu's place yesterday?"

"Never." Bai Zhi said.

"Why are you looking for Guanshi Lu this morning?" Bai Shu's voice sank, and his tone suddenly became anxious.

"Get the seeds." Bai Zhi inexplicably tensed up.

"Do I need to go to his room to get the seeds?"

"It was the boy in the account room who said that Manager Lu had ordered us in advance and led us there."

"Where's the servant?"

"Can't find it."

Bai Shu asked Bai Zhi a few words and then looked at Mr. Qiu: "Can't find it?"

Mr. Qiu took the words: "It's the boy who has been serving Guanshi Lu. He left the village this morning and sent people to chase after him." He paused, and said, "There is half a catty of seeds on Guanshi Lu's table."

Bai Shu's gaze turned to Bai Zhi again: "Was he already dead when you arrived?"

Bai Zhi's heart tightened again: "Yes."

"How to prove it?"

Bai Zhi was taken aback, what was she proving, she looked at Bai Shu, who was expressionless.

The eyes of the two collided in mid-air, of course to prove their innocence!

She thought about it carefully and said, "It usually takes about an hour for a person to become stiff after death. When we arrived, Guanshi Lu was already stiff."

As soon as they woke up in the morning, they went to the dining hall to have breakfast, and then went to look for Guanshi Lu, so when they arrived, Guanshi Lu was already dead.

"This doesn't prove that you are innocent. Who knows if you killed my father beforehand and then pretended to look for him." Lu Qu'er glanced at Bai Shu and boldly questioned.

Bai Shu remained silent and continued to look at Bai Zhi.

Bai Zhi somehow understood that this was a signal to continue to prove her innocence.

She stabilized her mind and said: "Generally speaking, corpse spots appear after a few hours after death, but for hanged people, corpse spots appear first on the feet, obviously not Guanshi Lu."

Wu Zuo, who was on the side, also replied: "Guan Lu died of suffocation, and was hanged up again later. The time of death was at least midnight last night."

"That doesn't prove your innocence, what if you did it last night." Lu Qu'er continued to ask, and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with the veil in her hand. It can be seen that it has been soaked with tears.

Bai Shu glanced at her, and said to Bai Li: "Report to the official, go and find the best assistant in Ninglin Mansion, and each go back to his room. No one will leave the village."

After everyone had left, Bai Li asked curiously, "Does Daddy think she is Bai Zhi's cousin?"

"No, she fell into a trap set up by others." Bai Shu said without thinking.

He remembered that last night, the person sent to monitor Lu Guanshi suddenly came back and reported that he had been killed. It seemed that someone was using this as an opportunity to frame him. As for who was framed, he didn't know last night, but now he knows.

Unexpectedly, but also expected, it was the child who framed Bai Zhi for murder for no reason, it seems that he really knew a lot.

When Bai Li heard this, he was thoughtful. Did his father answer with such certainty, did he already know who the murderer was?

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but ask.

Bai Bai's tone was light: "Yes."

"Then why don't you help them clean up their grievances and catch the real murderer." Bai Li couldn't help wondering, why didn't his father help them when he obviously valued them?

Bai Shu smiled: "There are too many intrigues in this world. After you sing, I will appear on the stage. If I help one, I will help that. Therefore, as a father, I don't help anyone. If I can't cope with such a little means, how can I be responsible for it."

The help of others always depends on whether others are willing to help. That is not my own ability. Only when I walk the road well and have the ability to solve problems by myself, that is my own ability.

Therefore, if he does not help, no one will help.

People, each of us gets his own rain. Instead of waiting for others to hold an umbrella, it is better to hold the umbrella in your own hands.

The people from the government didn't arrive for a while, and everyone was ordered to stay in the room, and they were not allowed to go out without business, let alone leave the village.

No one knows that everyone at this moment is being interrogated separately one by one.

Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan sat quietly in the room, and they were silent for a while before looking at each other.

"Who do you think it is?" Bai Zhi looked over, "Will it be Bai Luo this time?"

But except for one Bai Luo who offended for some reason, they didn't seem to be unhappy with anyone else.

Wei Ziwan raised her eyes: "We want to go together. Although she hasn't shown up this time, but Guanshi Lu is related to the osmanthus picking last time. Maybe she is already making a fuss about it."

What a good excuse, Manager Lu felt sorry for them, if he led others to think about it, and this time he was embarrassed for receiving the seeds, then if he disagreed with them, he would do anything in anger.

She thought of Guanshi Lu. She could count the number of times she met with one hand. There was no grievance or enmity. It would be far-fetched to say that Bailuo killed Guanshi Lu just to frame them.

But what if it wasn't Bailuo?

That means someone else, and Bai Luo happened to be an insider or an accomplice, so she took the opportunity to blame her.

"We can't sit still and wait for death." Bai Zhi's tone was firm, they couldn't do nothing, they had to find a way to clear the suspicion.

Wei Ziwan glanced at her, of course she couldn't sit still, the key was what to do.

"How do you know that Guanshi Lu is not a hanging beam? Is the theory of corpse spots reliable?"

Bai Zhi turned her head to look at the window, and said in a calm tone: "I've seen it a lot. Most of the women who can't think about it in the cold palace are hanging beams. What I said is reliable."

Growing up in the cold palace, for more than ten years, I have seen and heard of it, on average, once a year. Many things are no longer guesses, but summed up over the years.

Wei Ziwan was stunned when she heard it, she had seen it a lot: "Any other discoveries?"

Bai Zhi shook her head, then nodded again the next moment: "Guan Lu's clothes smell of alcohol, it's a very low-quality alcohol smell."

The time was too hasty, and she didn't have time to take a closer look. This was the only thing she could notice, unless she went to see it again...

"Let's go to the uncle and take another look." Wei Ziwan blinked, the uncle seemed to be interrogating impartially, but every time he questioned Bai Zhi, he was giving her a chance to explain .

If the guess is correct, this cheap uncle should not be on the opposite side.

The person in charge of the villa is not an enemy, so it will be easy to handle.

"That's exactly what I mean." They thought about going together again, Bai Zhi stood up and walked out the door, Wei Ziwan hurriedly followed, and the two went to the lobby to look for Bai Li.

Because they didn't know where to find the eldest uncle, they had to go to this elder brother first.

There were not only Bai Li in the lobby, but also Bai Shu, Mr. Qiu, and the newly invited Zuo Zuo.

Now they don't have to look for it, everyone is there.

Bai Zhi and Wei Ziwan explained the purpose of their visit, and there was a moment of silence in the hall, and no one answered them for a while.

After being silent for a while, Bai Shu sighed softly and looked at Mr. Qiu: "Tell them what you know so far."

Mr. Qiu nodded: "The time of death was yesterday, at least in the evening, or even earlier, so there must be something wrong with seeing Guanshi Lu's testimony at Xushi. After careful interrogation, we found out that it was already late at night, and they didn't read Looking at Guanshi Lu's face, because Guanshi Lu is still wearing a straw hat and walking in a hurry, it should be that someone is wearing his clothes to deliberately pretend, this is the first point."

"There is a smell of sorghum wine on Guanshi Lu's clothes. Although it is a bit faint, he can still smell it, but he has no habit of drinking alcohol. This is the second point."

"Guan Lu intends to form a good relationship with Aunt Chen, and the two have been getting along for a long time in private. Now that he died suddenly, Aunt Chen behaved very flat, or too calm, too normal but deliberate, like a rehearsal beforehand. All right, this is the third point."

"The boy in the accountant didn't go home after leaving the manor, and his whereabouts are still unknown. Whether he is the murderer and how much he participated in is uncertain. This is what we know so far."

Mr. Qiu bowed and stood aside after speaking.

Bai Shu glanced at him, and then his eyes fell on Bai Zhi: "What do you think of Zhi'er? If you have any thoughts, feel free to tell me."

Bai Zhi thought for a while and replied: "At present, that boy is the most suspicious, and Aunt Chen may also have problems."

After she finished speaking, she glanced at Wei Ziwan, and both of them relaxed inexplicably.
