Live Action Murder Mystery

After leaving Zangshu Pavilion, Yang Ye and Gu Liang went to the armory.

Weapons are placed on different weapon racks, including swords, guns, swords and halberds.

Looking over one by one, Gu Liang noticed that there was a knife missing from one of the knife racks.

There is a word engraved on the shelf, which says "Break the Water Knife".

Gu Liang stepped forward and gestured for the size. Visually, it should have been the knife at the scene of the crime.

The armory is very close to Wang Bulao's bedroom. It is not difficult to infer that the murderer took a knife to stab Wang Bulao here, and then threw the knife at the scene of the crime.

Apart from the lack of a knife, there is no other clue in the armory.

After leaving the armory, the two went to the steward's room.

This is the place where the manager of the Xiaoyao faction lives, and the room is quite luxurious, many utensils look very valuable, and there are even jewelry boxes full of pearls and agates.

"It seems that there is a lot of money to be made when you are in charge here."

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows, and took out two booklets from the drawer, one of which was an account book, and the other was a booklet with "Director's Diary".

Gu Liang looked at the ledger first.

The Xiaoyao faction recorded large and small expenditures in the ledger.

Gu Liang carefully checked page by page, focusing on looking for content related to Wang Bulao and several suspects.

He did make some key discoveries.

"On the seventh day of March, the head of the sect bought the famous sword Shuying for senior brother, and it cost 1000 taels of silver."

"On the tenth day of the fifth lunar month, the head of the sect bought a white jade flute for senior brother, and it cost 500 taels of silver."

……

"This Wang Bulao is very willing to spend money for the elder brother. This is true love."

After Gu Liang finished flipping through the photo album, he opened the "work diary".

This is probably the diary written by the steward. It records a lot of trivial things and a lot of gossip.

Among them, what caught Gu Liang's attention was a diary entry.

"On the tenth day of the eighth month. I accidentally found out about Yi Meiren's affair with Master Hui, and quietly told the master. Unexpectedly, the master asked me to help him keep this secret. I am not worthy of the master, thinking that he should be severely punished Yi Meiren. The leader actually said that Yi Meiren is not easy, so I must not reveal this secret to the public, otherwise she will be ruined for the rest of her life. He also said that the Yi family is also very prestigious in the Jianghu, so I must not influence her. The reputation of the clothing family."

Seeing this, Gu Liang was actually a little bit embarrassed.

Yi Meiren was afraid that the head of the sect, Wang Bulao, would find out that she and Master Hui were secretly plotting against each other, so she tried to kill him.

Unexpectedly, people already knew about this matter, not only never thought of pursuing anything, they even tried to hide it for her, trying to preserve the reputation of her and her family.

Gu Liang frowned slightly, continued to scroll forward, and then turned to a diary that interested him.

"On the tenth day of March, I was ordered by the master to go down the mountain to buy goods. I embezzled some silver and was sued, but the master not only did not punish me, but also rewarded me with some pearls and agates. I confessed my mistake to the master. But the door said, I think it was because he withheld me from the monthly money, which made me greedy. I am deeply ashamed of the words of the head of the door. Thinking about it, retreat can not only improve martial arts, but also improve the realm of thought. After several years of retreat, the temper of the head has changed a lot."

Gu Liang put down the two booklets and turned his head to see that Yang Ye also found a booklet from under the manager's pillow, and he was looking at it with great interest at the moment.

Sensing Gu Liang's gaze, Yang Ye raised his head and looked at him. "Well, what did you find?"

"Yes." Gu Liang said, "The current king is not old, he is simply a holy father."

"How to say?" Yang Ye asked.

Gu Liang briefly explained the contents of the two booklets to Yang Ye, and then handed the booklets to him.

Yang Ye flipped through the pages, and then said: "So, if the issue of sexual orientation alone is not enough to make a conclusion, after reading this brochure, we can be sure that the current Wang Bulao has changed. This is not mentioned above" Has his temperament changed after the retreat? It seems that the problem lies in the retreat period. Before the retreat, Wang Bulao was real, but after the retreat, he is a fake. From sexual orientation, to personality, to being a person In life, everything has changed for him.”

Before the retreat, things like killing the Kongtong faction of the second senior brother were done by the real Wang Bulao.He is a man who kills people like hemp and does anything to expand the power of the sect.

But now this fake Wang Bu Lao is actually a kind person.

"Yes. I agree with what you said."

Gu Liang frowned slightly. "But in this way, there is still something strange. Since he is such a holy father, no matter how much he loves senior brother, he won't...do something that raped him, right? The talk about being drunk and messing up is a bit far-fetched. Really Can you wake up drunk?"

Unexpectedly, Gu Liang said it so bluntly, Yang Ye laughed, and then coughed a few times.

"What?" Gu Liang looked at him.

"No. It's nothing. After a while, let's ask the senior brother for details. Let's see what's going on."

Yang Ye didn't have glasses to support, so he could only hook the bridge of his nose with his index finger, and then said, "I just think that there is no need for senior brother to lie about the motive of killing. Because everyone has a motive to kill, and the killing intent is quite strong."

"Well. Find a chance to ask the elder brother for details."

Gu Liang looked at the booklet that Yang Yegang found, and asked, "What did you find?"

"This thing is equivalent to the personnel changes recorded by the personnel department. It's very interesting. You can take a look."

Yang Ye opened the booklet and handed it to Gu Liang, so that Gu Liang could see the time when people around Wang Bulao came and went.

Twenty years ago, Wang Bulao married Yan Ruyu, his ninth wife.

Seventeen years ago, Yan Ruyu gave birth to a daughter, but left with her daughter and a divorce letter.

Fifteen years ago, Wang Bulao took the first and second senior brothers as his apprentices.

Thirteen years ago, Wang Bulao accepted his younger brother as an apprentice.

Ten years ago, the younger brother and Wang Bulao went on a trip, the younger brother died in a foreign country, and after returning, Wang Bulao began to retreat.

Three years ago, Wang Bulao left the customs; in the same year, he married a beautiful woman in clothes.

……

"So, ten years ago, Wang Bulao started retreating, and he didn't leave until three years ago. After leaving the retreat, he has changed."

Gu Liang's pupils narrowed slightly. "It's just... who is this little junior brother? It's understandable that I didn't include him in my story, because he was already dead when I 'married' here. Why didn't the senior and second senior brothers mention him?"

Yang Ye spread his arms and stretched his waist, "Let's focus on asking them about the younger brother in a while. Next...the timeline after the time of the two of them, we should also focus on asking them."

Gu Liang: "It seems that they are basically locked in."

Yang Ye nodded: "Yes, we have almost finished reading what we should see. At present, we can confirm that the deceased is a fake Wang Bulao. But there is no clue that anyone knows about it. Even the steward who is very close to Wang Bulao , I just felt that he had changed his temper after seven years of retreat. No one knew that Wang Bulao had changed. Everyone cursed Wang Bulao, not the counterfeit. This fake Wang Bulao was killed by that knife, and Not a curse."

The steward's inspection was completed, and more than half of the two-hour inspection time had passed.

Gu Liang and Yang Ye hurried on and searched almost all the remaining corners of the Xiaoyao faction, but failed to find any more clues.

After all, the map of Xiaoyaopai is a bit big, and the two of them were a little tired after running like this for an hour, so they went to the kitchen to get some porridge to drink, to quench their hunger and thirst, and rest for a while.

Gu Liang took a sip of cold porridge, looked at the time on the card, they didn't have much time left to explore.

The murderer can basically be locked among the senior brother and the second senior brother, but it is still unclear who is responsible for the murder.

Because of running around all the time, Gu Liang sweated a little on his forehead, and his face was not as pale as usual, but a little rosy.The corners of his eyes and eyebrows seemed to be colored with rouge, which complemented his red dress.

Yang Ye glanced at him coldly, and saw a drop of sweat slipping from the tip of his nose, looking very...very sexy.

His eyes slid down uncontrollably, and Gu Liang's Adam's apple was dripping with sweat, dripping deep into his clothes.

Yang Ye's pupils deepened, and he looked away.

A spoonful of cold porridge in his mouth dispelled the dryness in his throat and heart, and Yang Ye said: "Are you hungry? I passed the vegetable garden and the place where the chickens were raised just now. The vegetables look fresh and the chicken is also very fat. Let's investigate the case later." It's over, I'm going to kill a chicken, do you want to eat stewed or braised?"

Gu Liang raised his head to meet his gaze, and asked curiously: "Now it's time to think about dinner. As for solving the case, you, a detective, are really not in a hurry?"

Yang Ye smiled. "Are you worried about me?"

Gu Liang raised his eyebrows. "That's true. If you die unfortunately, you will lose a chef."

"Tsk, I'm just thinking about the dishes I cook."

"Well, yes, so you have to live well."

Gu Liang's brows were cold, and it seemed that he said it casually.

When Yang Ye heard it, his heart felt warm.

——You see, it’s all like this, and he still doesn’t admit that he just cares about me.

Just at this time, the second senior brother came to the kitchen to investigate.

He walked to the door, saw Yang Ye and Gu Liang, and greeted them proactively. "You're here too. Did you find anything?"

Yang Ye waved to him. "You come in and sit down first, and drink the rice porridge."

The second senior brother glanced at the two of them, but also entered the kitchen.

After he sat down, Yang Ye served him a bowl of rice porridge and asked, "Let me ask you, what are you and senior brother doing after Mao?"

The second senior brother thought for a while and said, "I just tore up and hid the paper for killing the curse, and the senior brother came back from the toilet. I was very hungry, so I went to the kitchen to find something to eat. But at that time, the kitchen As soon as the guy started cooking, I stayed in the kitchen to help. About [-]:[-] a.m., I went back with breakfast, and I saw the big brother practicing in the courtyard, so I asked him to have dinner with him. After eating for a long time, I heard the maid say palm The news that the door is dead. You saw it when you went to our place, there were leftovers on the table."

"That is to say, you were in the kitchen for 75 minutes from [-]:[-] to [-]:[-]:[-]?" Yang Ye obviously had some doubts about this statement, but remained calm for the time being.

The second senior brother replied: "Except for the time spent on the road, it counts. Because we need to light a fire or something."

Yang Ye's eyes sank slightly, but he didn't worry about whether the second senior brother was really in the kitchen during those 75 minutes. Instead, he asked: "The senior brother was there before you left and after you came back. But you don't know, the place where you weren't there 75 minutes, did he leave?"
