After Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu said goodbye to the two arresters, after some inquiries, they successfully found the old house of the Yu family.
It is said to be an old house, but after some careful renovation and reconstruction, it has become a new look, and it is more appropriate to say that it is a new house.
Just a gate, it was built with extra style.
Yu Jiu took out the key and opened the copper lock hanging on the door.
Push open the heavy door.
The scene in the house is like a picture scroll, slowly unfolding in front of them.
Yu Jiu stood at the door, staring blankly at the Yu Zhai in front of him, before raising his feet and stepping over the high threshold after a long time.
He walked and watched.
Everything around him felt both familiar and unfamiliar.
Finally he stopped at the door of a bedroom.
The door was locked.
Yu Jiu tried the keys one by one and finally opened the door.
Xiao Xixi probed in and took a look.
It can be seen from the arrangement in the room that this should be the bedroom of a young couple.
Presumably this is Miss Yu and her husband's house.
It is also the place where Miss Yu was murdered.
The house was built in imitation of the old house of the Yu family. Whether it is the structure of the house or the furnishings in the house, it is exactly the same as before the old house was burned down.
The person who can restore the house to this point must be someone who is very familiar with the house.
Yu Jiu stood in the center of the room and looked around.
Since Uncle Jiang often comes here to clean up, even if no one lives here, it is still clean.
But also because it was too clean, it made the place seem too deserted and there was no smoke.
Yu Jiu stayed in this room for a long time.
When he came out, it was already dark.
Xiao Xixi was sitting on the steps eating grapefruit, when she saw Yu Jiu coming out, she immediately stuffed the last piece of grapefruit meat left in her hand into her mouth.
His cheeks were bulging because he ate too quickly.
Seeing Yu Jiu was very speechless.
"I'm not going to rob you, so what are you doing?"
Xiao Xixi chewed it quickly and said vaguely, "I'm so prepared, as long as I eat fast enough, no one can take the food from me."
Yu Jiu looked at the grapefruit peel piled next to her and asked.
"Where did you get the grapefruit?"
Xiao Xixi pointed to the grapefruit tree next to it: "I picked it there."
Yu Jiu looked around and saw a lot of heavy grapefruit hanging on the branches, and the branches were all crushed.
When he left the Yu family, he was too young to remember whether the Yu family planted grapefruit trees.
He was fascinated by the two grapefruit trees. He wondered if his parents and family would also pick grapefruit in winter, and sit by the fire to peel them off and eat slowly.
Yu Jiu asked abruptly.
"Is grapefruit sweet?"
Xiao Xixi smacked her mouth and said while aftertaste.
"It's pretty sweet."
She thought Yu Jiu was greedy too, so she encouraged her.
"If you want to eat, go pick a few more."
Yu Jiu saw through her careful thoughts at a glance, and sneered: "You know what to eat, get up, we have other things to do."
Xiao Xixi stood up, patted the dust on the skirt, and asked.
"What are we going to do?"
Yu Jiu: "Go to Jiang Chengcai and ask something."
The reason why he released Jiang Chengcai was not out of good intentions, but because he wanted to find out the truth about the destruction of the Yu family.
Although everyone said that the Yu family was killed by the young son of the county magistrate's family, Yu Jiu felt that there were still many doubts.
For example, why did that young man happen to think of Miss Yu when he was drunk
How did he break into Miss Yu's room without disturbing the others
And when the three members of the Yu family were killed, where were all the servants of the Yu family
And how did Yu Jiu, who is only one year old, leave the Yu family
There is no reasonable explanation for these problems.
Yu Jiu wanted to find out all these questions.
Jiang Chengcai's performance today made him see the clue. Maybe he can find the answer he wants from Jiang Chengcai.
When Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi walked out of Yu's house, Yu Jiu suddenly stopped and looked to the right.
Xiao Xixi took two steps, and when she saw that she didn't follow, she immediately looked back at him.
"Why don't you go?"
Yu Jiu: "It seemed like someone was watching us just now."
Xiao Xixi followed his line of sight and saw no suspicious people except for a few pedestrians on the street.
Xiao Xixi: "Are you sure you read it right?"
Feeling that this kind of thing is erratic, Yu Jiu himself can't be sure if his feeling is wrong.
He looked at the street on the right for a while, but couldn't see any clues, and finally had to give up.
"Forget it, forget about it, maybe I'm really hallucinating, let's go first."
Yu Jiu caught up with Xiao Xixi, and the two walked in the direction of the Jiang family.
This time, they did not go through the main entrance, but took advantage of the night to climb over the wall and enter Jiang's house.
The population of the Jiang family is very simple. Apart from Uncle Jiang, there are only Jiang Chengcai and his daughter-in-law, and Jiang Chengcai's two children.
Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi first got used to being in the dark for a while, and figured out the internal layout of the Jiang family. When the Jiang family fell asleep, they went straight to the room where Jiang Chengcai was.
Jiang Chengcai drank some wine tonight, and fell asleep on the bed, his snoring could be heard from far away.
His daughter-in-law has become accustomed to this, and the quality of sleep has not been affected at all, and she has always slept soundly.
The couple didn't notice that the door was quietly pushed open.
Yu Jiu quietly walked into the room, raised his hand and threw out two silver needles.
The silver needles were pierced into Jiang Chengcai and his daughter-in-law's bodies respectively.
The two immediately fell into a coma and completely lost consciousness.
Yu Jiu dragged Jiang Chengcai up and threw it on the ground like throwing garbage.
He picked up the teapot on the table and poured a full pot of cold tea onto Jiang Chengcai's face.
Jiang Chengcai was immediately awakened by the stimulation.
He opened his eyes and saw Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi standing in front of him. He was stunned for a moment, then turned pale in shock.
"Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Yu Jiu pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve.
The blade glowed coldly in the night.
"I want to ask you a few questions. If you can cooperate honestly, we will leave after asking questions, but if you dare to lie, I will use this knife to cut your fingers off one by one."
Jiang Chengcai is just an ordinary hooligan. He is best at bullying the soft and fearing the hard. Have you ever seen such a powerful battle
He was so terrified that he almost lost control.
He wanted to get up and run away, but found that his body was as heavy as iron, and no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move himself.
At this time, the only places where he could move were his eyes and lips.
He was even more frightened.
Jiang Chengcai opened his mouth and wanted to call someone to save him, but before he could speak, Yu Jiu held his throat with a dagger.
