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 himself who took the remaining people to protect Mrs. Xu.
?The group of people rushed towards Yicui Tower in a mighty manner.
?Gu Qingyi also planned to go over and watch the fun, just so he could ask Mr. Xu for questioning after he redeemed him.
?However, Malu pulled her back and said, "Wait a minute."
"What''s wrong?"
"Something is not right. We just found out that Deputy Sect Master Xu has a hidden disease and needs to take medicine. As a result, Master Xu, the most suspicious person, was taken down by the Beggar Gang, and Mrs. Xu had 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 target 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, Ma Lu was suddenly startled, and then murmured, "Tan Xiangzhu 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 followed Ma Lu''s line of thinking and continued to reason.
“But Deputy Sect Leader Xu is dead. Is there anything else in the Xu Mansion worth coveting? Is it possible 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, he will I can’t make up any more stories.”
“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 touched his nose and said.
“Let’s go, let’s follow Mrs. Xu.”
"Follow Mrs. Xu? But didn''t you say the murderer is still in Xu''s house?"
"Well, but we won''t let down our guard until we leave him. We can follow Mrs. Xu first and then sneak back."
?Ma Lu raised his head and glanced at the sky. The sun had completely set at this time. 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 next to 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 aside, lowered her voice and said, "Follow me?"
?Ma Lu hesitated and said, "Wait a moment."
"Everyone is running away, what are you waiting for?" Gu Qing was a little anxious.
Ma Lu said before that the murderer was hiding in Xu Mansion, and she was still a little doubtful. But now that the murderer has actually revealed his face, Malu remained indifferent and watched helplessly as the murderer disappeared 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 the troops into two groups. “What about you?” Gu Qingyi asked.
“I’ll wait a little longer.” After saying this, Malu 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 her left foot, rolled over from the tree and landed on the ground, chasing after Manager Zhou.
After she left, Malu held his breath and continued to wait patiently.
He was not in a hurry. The person in the mansion should be anxious at this time, because although he had taken away all the people from the Tianlong Sect 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 deceived and kidnapped, they will not be able to escape.
So he must hurry up.
?Ma Lu''s guess was correct. This time, less than half the time of the incense stick had passed, and another black shadow came out from the wall of Xu Mansion.
?He was wearing night clothes and covered his face with a black cloth, leaving only a pair of big, bright eyes.
His movements were quite agile and he 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 Skill 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 was also trained to the Great Perfection by Deputy Sect Master Xu.
?Ma Lu was at full level when he picked it up, so he didn''t use much force at all and floated down from the tree, gently covering 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 opponent, he had to stop and cried out.
“Ma Shaoxia, what are you going to do to let me go?”
“Miss Cai Die...why did you kill Deputy Sect Leader Xu?”
Cadie didn''t answer, but asked, "Why do you say I am the murderer of Deputy Sect Master Xu?"
“Because after Gu Shenqi noticed the decoction, you obviously panicked and threw out Mr. Xu to attract everyone’s attention, but in this way you also became a suspect.”
Malu explained calmly, "According to your rhetoric, there are actually three people who have the opportunity to come into contact with that soup. In addition to Mrs. Xu and Mr. Xu, you who have been choosing food at the back door can also take advantage of Mrs. Xu''s absence. It''s time to sneak into the kitchen.
"Of course, you should also know this, so you deliberately tempted me so that I wouldn''t doubt you."
“But what I did seemed to have the opposite effect. Does Ma Shaoxia think I am unattractive?” Cadie bit her lip and asked.
"really."
There is never a shortage of beauties in Malu''s life, whether he is out shopping for ingredients or in the original universe, Pochi, his witch team, Zhen Ye, An Qi, He Xiaoqian, the wandering warlock...
They are all beautiful and have their own characteristics, so Malu is not interested in little girls like Cai Die who are obviously not very blooming.
It’s just that the truth always hurts, and Cai Die is very hurt now.
