late at night.
Except for the occasional sound of watchdogs and the faint sound of the evening wind blowing the leaves, the outside is silent and dark, which makes people feel frightened for no reason.
However, suddenly—
The silence of the night was broken by a terrified cry!
"A dead person...! Ah! Someone died! A dead person...!"
A boy who came out to go to the toilet in the middle of the night, just took out the bird and was about to drain the water, when he saw the dead body in the toilet, he was frightened for a moment.
He didn't even lift his pants, and ran out of the toilet. While running, he kept screaming in horror!
"Dead?" Gu Yumo was also woken up, opened his eyes, listened carefully, and heard the frightened 'dead'.
Xia Liang responded softly and said, "Something happened."
Gu Yumo turned over and sat up from the bed, his eyes were clear, without a trace of sleepiness from being woken up, he quickly put on his coat, and walked towards the door.
"Take that hairpin." Xia Liang said, "Maybe it can be used."
Hearing this, Gu Yumo turned around again, walked towards the bed, and put the hairpin that was originally hidden in his sleeve.
"Grand...Sir, are you up? Something happened. I heard people outside shouting for death!"
At this time, there was a knock on the door, and at the same time, Gu Zhu's anxious voice sounded.
"Come in." Gu Yumo raised his voice slightly, and responded.
"My lord, so you're already dressed!" Gu Zhu opened the door and came in, and said in surprise when he saw Gu Yumo's outfit.
"Go and have a look." Gu Yumo ignored his boring words and let him go outside.
At this time, not only them, everyone in the mansion, no matter if they were masters or servants, were all woken up.
In the courtyard, torches were lit, and there were people carrying lanterns, instantly illuminating the dark courtyard.
However, under the light, the faint black elongated shadow, combined with the terrified ghostly scream, made people's hearts tremble more and more.
Gu Yumo and Gu Zhu hurriedly walked towards the place where the sound came from. On the way, they happened to meet the eldest son and his wife who also came in a hurry.
"Young Master Gu, I'm really sorry that you had to rest because of such an accident." Seeing Gu Yumo, Xia Zhuyao hurried over, cupped his hands, and said apologetically.
"No problem." Gu Yumo shook his head and said softly, "Do you know who caused the accident?"
"I've just come here too, so I haven't heard about it yet." Xia Zhuyao's expression was not good, and there was faint panic showing from his eyes.
In the evening, Gu Yumo had just taken out the blood-stained silver bell lock, and in the middle of the night, he was dead.
Such a prediction, such a connection, how could it not be frightening.
However, at this moment, a terrified scream came from the front——
"Oh my god! It's Second Young Master who died!"
"Second Young Master is dead... Second Young Master is dead...!"
Hearing this, Xia Zhuyao's complexion suddenly changed, he became much paler, his body trembled, he left Gu Yumo behind, ran forward quickly!
"It turned out that the fat pig died." Xia Liang frowned slightly, and said, "Is it because he is the easiest to deal with?"
And the murderer was not them at all.
Xia Liang couldn't help guessing that the person who did this was the woman they had guessed was related to her before.
Gu Yumo looked around, whether they were far or near, they were all panicked or sad people. At this time, it was not easy to speak up, but his pace was quickened, and he wanted to see the dead Xia Zhuguang with his own eyes as soon as possible.
When Gu Yumo arrived, the cries of the female relatives were already loud, and Xia Zhijie had also arrived, looking at Xia Zhuguang's body with an ugly and sad face.
"This method of death is really difficult." When Xia Liang saw Xia Zhuguang's body, he couldn't help but frowned, and then said,
"Someone deliberately put him in this state, made him kneel on the ground with his head bowed, and stripped him naked. This is an apology."
"En." Gu Yumo replied in a low voice, but he was thinking in his heart that it was definitely not a woman who could manipulate Xia Zhuguang with such a strong figure into such a state.
Because women don't have that much strength.
"Get closer, and throw the hairpin on the ground when people are not paying attention, so that people can find it." Xia Liang said, "We also help the murderer."
After all, no matter who the murderer is or what purpose they have, this kind of behavior has become their ally, so naturally they have to help them.
No need for Xia Liang to say so, Gu Yumo has already planned to do so.
Because it was late at night and there was no moon in the sky, the entire mansion was in darkness.
Therefore, even if the torches are lit at this moment and the lanterns are still shining, these lights cannot dispel all the darkness, and there are still some places that are too dark to see clearly.
Therefore, in this environment, it is really easy to do a little trick.
Gu Yumo deliberately walked to the dark place, took two steps, and deliberately let out a little hey in doubt, then bent down, picked up the hairpin in his sleeve from the ground, and held it in his hand.
"What is this? Peach blossom hairpin?" Gu Yumo took the hairpin, walked to the light, looked at the hairpin, and asked suspiciously.
"Ah! It's her! It's really her! It's her!" The madam who was still crying at the side heard Gu Yumo's voice and immediately turned her head to look. When she saw the hairpin in his hand, she cried out in fear up.
"She's back...I knew it was her back..." The madam cried, and rushed over, grabbed Xia Zhijie's leg, and said in horror,
"Master, she's back again, hurry up and contact that Taoist priest from back then... Guang'er has already been killed by her, who is next, she will definitely kill us all!"
Hearing his wife's cry, Xia Zhijie also thought about what happened five years ago, his brows became deeper and deeper, and deep panic surged in his heart.
"No! Father, mother, and younger brother were definitely not killed by her. You don't remember, but she was suppressed. That Taoist priest is a master. He said that as long as the suppression lasts for more than five years, even if she can come out, she will not be killed." He will definitely not be able to kill people. This is the sixth year..." Xia Zhuyao immediately stepped forward when he heard this, and said in a low voice.
"Then... if it wasn't her, what happened to the blood-stained silver bell lock? And... and the peach hairpin, it's all hers, it's hers..."
Mrs. Xia still couldn't hide her panic and unease.
"This fat pig is quite pitiful. Not many people care about it when it dies, tsk tsk... these people are actually more concerned about their own life and death." Xia Liang looked at the expressions of Xia Zhijie and others, and listened to their conversation, and couldn't help saying sarcastically .
