Universe Infinite Canteen
Chapter 421 The murderer appears
Manager Zhou and others wanted to persuade her again, but at this time, Mrs. Xu showed the momentum of the mistress of the house and had already sent people to prepare the carriage. Seeing that she had made up her mind, some people hurried to the teahouse opposite to report the news. .
Tan Mazi had already led a group of people to find Xu Erlang before, but this time it was Dr. Cha who personally led the remaining people to protect Mrs. Xu.
A group of people rushed towards Yicui Tower.
Gu Qingyi also planned to go over and watch the excitement, just in time to ask Mr. Xu for questioning after redeeming him.
However, Malu pulled her back and said, "Wait a minute."
"What's wrong?"
"Something's not right. We just found out that Deputy Sect Master Xu has a hidden disease and needs to take medicine. As a result, the most suspicious Mr. Xu was taken down by the Beggar Gang, and Mrs. Xu was forced to come to apologize."
Gu Qingyi's expression changed, "Is it possible that the murderer is really Mrs. Xu and she wants to take this opportunity to escape?"
Ma Lu shook his head, "It's not like that. After the death of Deputy Sect Master Xu, she was the key protection object of Tianlong Sect. Didn't you see how many masters Tianlong Sect arranged outside Xu's mansion? Wherever she goes, those masters will follow her, even if she leaves. It’s hard for her to escape from the Xu Mansion.”
At this point, Malu was suddenly stunned, and then murmured, "Master Tan Xiang went to look for Mr. Xu and took away many people. Now the remaining people have gone with Mrs. Xu, which means..."
"The other party's target is actually the Xu Mansion?" Gu Qingyi continued to reason after Ma Lu's train of thought.
"But Deputy Sect Leader Xu is dead. Is there anything else in the Xu Mansion worth coveting? Could it be that the Beggar Clan's lotus bowl is hidden here?"
Gu Qingyi gave full play to his imagination.
But Ma Lu said, "No, that's not right... They are not targeting something in Xu Mansion. The reason why they want to mobilize the guards outside is because someone is afraid of running away. He knows that if we are allowed to come into contact with Mr. Xu, His story can no longer be told.”
"Who is that person you are talking about?" Gu Qingyi asked curiously.
"I'm not completely sure yet, but I know there is a way to make him show his true form." Malu said, touching his nose.
"Let's go, let's follow Mrs. Xu."
"Follow Mrs. Xu? But didn't you say that the murderer is still in Xu's mansion?"
"Yeah, but he won't let down his guard until we leave. We can follow Mrs. Xu first and then sneak back."
Malu raised his head and glanced at the sky. At this time, the sun had completely set. In a short while, the sky would be completely dark. The cover of night was suitable for the actions of some people with evil intentions.
This also confirmed Ma Lu's previous guess. The beggar's appearance was obviously carefully chosen.
However, when it got dark, it was also convenient for him and Gu Qingyi to paralyze the murderer. The two pretended to follow Mrs. Xu, but after walking for a while, they went in a circle and came back.
Then they found a big tree near Xu Mansion. Ma Lu and Gu Qingyi used Qinggong to climb up.
After waiting for less than a quarter of an hour, the door of Xu Mansion was opened again. Manager Zhou poked his head and looked around furtively.
Then he ran out from behind the door carrying a cloth bag, took steps, and ran into the night.
Gu Qingyi looked at Ma Lu beside him and lowered his voice, "Are you chasing me?"
Malu hesitated, "Wait a moment."
"Everyone has disappeared, what are you waiting for?" Gu Qing was a little anxious.
Ma Lu said before that the murderer was hiding in Xu's mansion, and she was still a little doubtful. But now that the murderer has really shown up, Malu remained indifferent and watched the man disappear into the night.
"You can chase him if you want." Ma Lu thought for a while, but he couldn't guarantee that Manager Zhou was not the murderer or an accomplice.
It just so happened that there were two of him and Gu Qingyi, so they could divide their forces into two groups.
"What about you?" Gu Qingyi asked.
"I'll wait a little longer." After Malu said that, he leaned down and tried his best to hide his body behind the canopy of the tree.
So Gu Qingyi no longer hesitated, stepped forward with his left foot, turned over from the tree, and chased after Manager Zhou.
After she left, Ma Lu held his breath and continued to wait patiently.
He was not in a hurry, it was the man in the mansion who should be anxious at this time, because although he had taken away all the Tianlong Sect personnel outside the Xu Mansion, he had also deceived Gu Qingyi.
But the time will definitely not be too long. Once either of the two parties finds out that they have been tricked and kidnapped, they will not be able to escape.
So he must hurry up.
Malu's guess was correct. This time, less than half a stick of incense had passed before another black shadow climbed over the wall of Xu's mansion.
He was wearing night clothes and covered his face with black cloth, leaving only a pair of big, bright eyes exposed.
He was quite agile and landed silently. He didn't even look around after leaving the courtyard wall and just ran away.
His Qinggong is actually very good, even if it is not the best, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary people in the world.
He moved like a rabbit and could run several feet away in the blink of an eye. Unfortunately, he met his opponent today.
The Xianyun Chasing Moon Kung Fu that Ma Lu acquired from the late Deputy Sect Master Xu is one of the most outstanding light skills in the world. Moreover, this Qing Gong has been trained to the Great Perfection state by Deputy Sect Master Xu.
Malu was at full level when he picked it up, so he didn't use much force at all. He floated down from the tree and gently covered the black shadow like a cloud.
At this time, the latter also realized that he was being followed. He quickly accelerated his pace and used his Qing Gong to the extreme. However, no matter how fast he ran, he could not get rid of the pursuers behind him.
That man was like a full moon, always hanging high above his head, leaving him nowhere to hide.
Finally, knowing that he couldn't outrun the other party, he had to stop and cried out.
"Ma Shaoxia, what do you want to let me go?"
"Miss Caidie... Why did you kill Deputy Sect Master Xu?"
Caidie didn't answer, but asked, "Why do you say I am the murderer of Deputy Sect Master Xu?"
"Because after Gu Shenbu noticed the medicine, you were obviously panicked and threw out Mr. Xu to attract everyone's attention, but in this way you also became a suspect."
Ma Lu explained calmly, "According to your rhetoric, there were actually three people who had the opportunity to come into contact with the medicine. In addition to Madam Xu and Mr. Xu, you who had been picking vegetables at the back door could have sneaked into the kitchen when Madam Xu was not around.
"Of course, you should also know this, so you deliberately tempted me to prevent me from suspecting you."
"But my actions seem to have the opposite effect. Ma Shaoxia thinks I am not attractive?" Caidie bit her lip and said.
"Indeed. "
There is no shortage of beauties in Malu's life, whether he is out shopping for food or in the original universe, Pochi, his witch team, Zhenye, Anqi, He Xiaoqian, the wandering warlock...
They are all very beautiful and have their own characteristics, so Malu has no interest in a little girl like Caidie who is obviously not fully grown up.
It's just that the truth always hurts people, and Caidie is very hurt now.
