Even though she was mentally prepared, the sudden sound still made Ju Mu'er tremble. She subconsciously called out, "Second Lord!"
A big warm palm immediately grabbed her hand, Ju Muer settled down, and called again: "Second Master."
"It's me, don't panic."
"He opened and closed the door but didn't go out, did he?" Ju Muer asked Long Er.
"Yes." Long Er raised his eyes, his sharp eyes shot at Shan Zi like a knife.
"How is he going to kill me?"
"He is holding a towel in his hand, maybe he wants to cover his mouth and suffocate you."
"It literally made me unable to call for help and let me die."
Everything happened as they expected. When Ju Muer appeared, the murderer became more alert. After knowing what Ju Muer might remember, the murderer will definitely take action to protect himself.
What Ju Muer has to do is adapt to the situation. She stayed in the hall for a while, let the murderer notice her and feel a sense of crisis, and then she tried to create an opportunity for the murderer to approach her and strike without anyone noticing.
It is estimated that the first place to attack is the murderer's house, and the second is the narrow alley behind the inn. However, because other situations may occur, civilian spies and officials are arranged to lurk at the entrance of the inn, in the hall, and in the backyard.
In this room, an official was originally arranged to guard behind the screen, so Ju Muer was surprised and delighted when she first heard Long Er's voice. In her heart, Second Master Long reassures her more than any other officials.
Shanzi on the side was so frightened that his legs and feet were weak, and his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He really wanted to take advantage of Ju Muer's unpreparedness, suffocate her to death, and then throw her out of the window, creating the illusion that she fell to her death. In the end, Mr. Fu Yin may think that she committed suicide in fear of crime, or that she was forced to die by jumping off the building because she was unwilling to endure the pain of the prison. If that's the case, Mr. Fu Yin will close the case hastily, so as not to fall into the ground of others.
Shanzi felt that this time was indeed a golden opportunity, no one saw him, and the blind woman didn't recognize him. He wanted to take advantage of all this to remedy it, so he had to do it.
He heard her say that she wanted to go to that room, so he sneaked up and unlocked the room while she was still there, and then he observed the movement, seeing that the blind woman found Room No. He was determined to kill her.
He waited for a while, found an opportunity when no one was around, and came up to make a move. Nobody knows anyone is in the house, so this place couldn't be better. But she locked the door, and any movement from him would startle her into a yell, so he knocked, spoke first, then pretended to go out so that she would be off guard. He couldn't use a knife, it was broad daylight, and the blood on his body was difficult to deal with, so he had to smother her to death.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he tightened the cloth scarf and approached her, the Second Master Long came out.
If it was a small official, Shan Zi might have fought hard, but the person who came was the Second Master Long, so he dared not act rashly at all. He knew that Second Master Long could really chop off his hand, and he even wondered if the second master Long could finish him off, could it be that the officials could not do anything to him.
Shan Zi was very frightened, but when he saw Second Master Long came out, he ignored him, and the blind girl ignored him, and they chatted on their own.
Shan Zi gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards the door. As soon as he opened the door, two steel knives were placed on his neck. The officials guarding the door took Shanzi down without any difficulty.
The officials escorted the man into the house. Qiu Ruoming came in, took a chair and sat there in a dignified manner. Seeing that there was no possibility of escape, Shanzi knelt down on the ground with a plop.
"My lord." Ju Muer called, "Can I let the girl touch his hand?"
touch again? Long Er felt displeased, frowned and glared at Shan Zi.
Of course Qiu Ruoming should be fine. Ju Muer stood up, but didn't know which direction to go. A bunch of noisy people rushed in just now, and she couldn't tell where the mountain was.
An official came over to lead Ju Muer, but Ju Muer couldn't see, she stretched out her hand in Long Er's direction, and called out in a soft voice for help, "Second Lord."
Looking at it, Long Er thought it was Ju Muer's dependence on him, she didn't want anyone, she just called him. As soon as he was happy, he didn't care about the annoying matter of helping his future wife to touch other men's hands, so he stretched out his hand to hold hers.
Long Er's palm is big, and it fits perfectly in holding Ju Mu'er's slender hand. Although he was happy in his heart, his face was serious. He supported her and led her to Shanzi.
The official took Shanzi's hand and handed it over. Ju Muer touched it carefully. After touching it for a long time, Long Er's brows were frowned tightly. Just when he couldn't help but want to pull her, Ju Muer let go up. This time, she finally said, "It's him."
Shanzi was shaking so badly that he dared not say anything. Ju Muer took two steps back, pointed in Shanzi's direction and said loudly, "My lord, it's him."
When she said this, her little face lit up, and she seemed quite happy and excited. Long Er couldn't help pulling her to his side, she grabbed his hand and shouted happily: "Second Lord, it's him, if you catch him, it's him."
The next thing was much simpler, Qiu Ruoming struck while the iron was hot, and started the trial immediately. Shan Zi was completely powerless to fight back, so he made all the moves with one brain.
It turns out that Shan Zi owed a lot of gambling debts and was threatened and persecuted by the people in the gambling shop. Afraid of death, he bought a dagger to defend himself, but the money must be paid back, and he was worried about what to do when he met Zhu Fu.
That day Zhu Fu walked into the inn with a gloomy face and drank a lot of wine alone without saying a word. After Shanzi persuaded him, Zhu Fu lost his temper and took out his money bag and said, "I am rich enough to drink." As soon as Shanzi saw the big ingot, he was obsessed with money, and suddenly felt that this was an opportunity.
He served Zhu Fu a lot of wine, made him drunk, and then persuaded him that he drank too much, he might as well rest in the inn. At that time Zhu Fu murmured that he should be good, saying that he didn't want to go home and see that woman, so Shan Zi smoothly sent Zhu Fu to the guest room.
Zhu Fu fell asleep, but he still held on to the purse. Shanzi didn't know how drunk he was, so he didn't dare to act recklessly, so he wanted to wait for him to sleep soundly before stealing the purse.
Shan Zi returned to the hall to do his work, but he began to think in his heart, thinking that no one should notice this matter. So he waited for Duhu to lead the guest back upstairs, then poured him a glass of water, and added a little drug to the water. The clerk in the casino gave it to him, saying that they also use it frequently, and it can make people drowsy, but not unconscious, and there is no flaw in using it.
Dug soon fell asleep, and Shan Zi secretly went to put out the lantern on the porch. He also prepared a dress for a salesman delivering sesame oil. At that time, when moving the goods, the sesame oil man took off his outer clothes to work, and then left in a hurry, forgetting to take them. Shan Zi thought, changed his clothes, even if someone saw the movement of the figure, they would not think that it was the waiter in this shop.
But just as he was about to change his clothes, the guest named Liang Ping came to look for him, saying that he was hungry and that the lantern on the porch was out. While thinking about what to do, Shan Zi led Liang Ping into the kitchen. There was some food in the kitchen, and Liang Ping was so hungry that he ate immediately. Shan Zi suddenly got a plan, he asked Liang Ping to eat first, and he went to the utility room to find the lantern. Liang Ping agreed, but Shan Zi took advantage of this moment to quickly change his clothes and sneak into Zhu Fu's room.
Shan Zi quickly found the purse in the dark, but he didn't expect Zhu Fu to wake up at this moment. Shan Zi was so frightened that he took out his dagger, but Zhu Fu rushed out of the room and shouted for help.
Everyone knows what happened afterwards. When Ju Muer passed by, Shanzi realized that she was really blind and couldn't see anything, so he suddenly got a plan and thought he was smart enough to create the illusion that Zhu Fu was entangled with the woman and was accidentally stabbed to death by the woman. He put another small piece of broken silver into the money bag, and put the money bag back on the bedside to conceal the murderous intention of seeking money. Then he took off his bloody clothes, changed his shoes, took a new lantern and went back to look for Liang Ping, all without anyone noticing. He led Liang Ping back to the guest room, thinking about taking this person to discover the murder scene, so that no one would think of him.
Unexpectedly, when he got there, he saw Lu Sixian there, and this time he got off the mountain, he felt that God had helped him. After that, he burned the bloody clothes and shoes, leaving no clues at all. He thought nothing would happen from now on, but he didn't expect that the officials started looking for the man of medium build with scars on the back of his hand. Fortunately, no one suspected him, he was a clerk, and he always wore a cloth towel on his hands, and no one paid attention to his hands, so he slipped past. He was still wondering what was going on, but it was the blind girl he didn't kill that broke the peace, and she could identify the murderer.
When everything came to light, Qiu Ruoming caught the real culprit and asked the police officers to escort Shan Zi back to the government office, and promised Long Er to release Lu Sixian when he returned.
Ju Muer was full of joy, with a smile on her face all the time. Long Er led her out of the inn, and walked towards the carriage slowly in line with her speed.
She kept laughing and laughing. The wind blew past, blowing away the hair around her ears, revealing the round and jade-like ear beads, Long Er looked at them, couldn't help pinching them, and asked: "So happy?"
Ju Mu'er shrank her shoulders because he was her fiancé-in-law, she didn't seem to be able to reprimand him for his hands and feet, but she was really in a good mood, so she nodded and replied, "Happy. "
"What are you happy about?"
"There are several things." Ju Muer said one by one, "The shopkeeper Lu has been wronged, and the real murderer is punished. Boss Zhu Quanxia knows and can be comforted. Also, I finally don't have to go out."
She stopped here. Long Er was taken aback, why is there no him
"I'm protecting you, do you like it?" Anyway, he must be in her happy affairs.
"Happy." Ju Muer was kind and quick to agree.
"Then what do you want to tell me?"
"Hmm..." Ju Muer was a little embarrassed, saying "Thank you, Second Master" is a bit sloppy, and saying "Second Master is really nice" is a bit disgusting, so let's ask a question, "Second Master, did you enter the room through the window? "
Long Er was taken aback for a moment, and she started to say something that he didn't expect. What is climbing a window? The word "climbing" is so embarrassing, he obviously entered through the window in a very "heroic and unrestrained" manner.
"Are the windows closed?"
It was closed, Long Er thought for a moment, how did he open the window "casually and freely" at that time
"Actually, when I was a child, I heard people say that snitches pried open the upstairs windows and sneaked in. I never understood, how did they have to exert force? Did they bend over and pry there?"
Bow, lie there... Doesn't she have some elegant words
Long Er's face was full of colors. How did his unmarried lady imagine him "handsomely and calmly" going in through the window to protect her? Long Er decided that this question was not worth thinking about.
"Second Master, are you still there?" No one answered, Ju Muer stopped, turned around and asked.
"I'm here." Long Er angrily turned her around, he was beside her, she was looking behind.
"Oh." Ju Muer hurriedly smiled to please her, and Long Er pinched her ear beads again to vent her resentment.
Ju Muer shrank her shoulders to hide, reached out to hold his hand, and said in a soft voice: "Second Master, I am so happy that you are protecting me in that room."
Long Er choked, this girl, this girl! Was she talking nonsense or on purpose
She didn't speak when he wanted to hear it, and when he thought she couldn't speak, she just spoke soft words to tire of him.
She did it on purpose!
