Chapter 50
Su Xuezhi went straight into the bathroom, checked her appearance again in the mirror, and wiped the tiny dirt on her trousers when she knelt on the ground just now to save people. As well as the mud and grass clippings that were stepped on behind the rockery, she was completely cleaned. After she left no trace, she walked out and saw Helanxue standing aside and looking at her silently, with a look of concern and worry in her eyes.
Su Xuezhi guessed that He Hanzhu did not tell her what had happened there just now.
She should just listen to her brother's words and asks her to do whatever she wants to do.
Su Xuezhi wanted to comfort her and said that it was nothing big and told her not to worry too much.
However, such words cannot be said no matter what, even if they are for comfort.
It was a big thing, a big thing she had never encountered before.
In the end, she finally said nothing and sat down slowly.
After finally breaking away from the death scene a moment ago, Su Xuezhi began to think hard about what would He Hanzhu do about this matter.
In a moment, the birthday party will end.
At the Wang family’s birthday party, the Wang family’s place, Lu Hongda’s favorite “Fu Xing” son disappeared.
It is completely unrealistic to see people alive, to see corpses when they die, to try to deal with the corpse quietly and end the matter with his own disappearance.
There must be a result.
Su Xuezhi quickly overturned the simplest, but also the most unlikely possible.
The second possibility is that he will take the blame and bear the charge of murder.
In this case, no matter how sufficient reasons for murder he can provide, even if he is forced to defend himself, in addition to Lu Hongda's revenge, there will definitely be a court trial or even a public opinion trial in the whole society. He will put himself in a protracted and extremely passive situation, and if he is not careful, he will ruin his reputation.
This is too expensive and not worth it.
Su Xuezhi also rejected this possibility.
Then there is only the third idea left.
Transfer the death scene.
Although Su Xuezhi did not know He Hanzhu, judging from the tone he spoke to Wang Tingzhi in the end, Su Xuezhi felt that he was very likely to take such measures.
If the Wang family is the first scene, it is inevitable that all the guests tonight will become potential murderers. In that case, it will follow, a long investigation and pursuit. After all, it is not ordinary people who die.
There is no perfect disguise in the world, only undiscovered disguise.
The longer the matter is, the greater the risk. It is difficult to guarantee that Wang Tingzhi and himself will not be suspected in the end.
It is necessary to not only pick out Wang Tingzhi and himself, but also to fight quickly. The most suitable one is of course to create the first scene outside.
With his ability, it should not be difficult to transfer the body while the night is sunny.
So, the question is, after the body is taken out, how should we set up a "first scene" so that after Lu Hongda learned of the death of his son, even if he was full of suspicion, he could only admit defeat and no longer pursue the investigation. This is the most critical part of the whole matter.
What will he do?
Su Xuezhi's logical inference was broken and could no longer continue.
She and his world are too far apart.
When she was in a daze, Helanxue said nothing, quietly sat in another chair, and looked at her quietly from time to time.
Time passed by minute by minute, and about half an hour later, almost ten o'clock in the evening, and walking footsteps and faint laughter came from outside one after another.
It should be that the banquet ended, and the guests bid farewell one after another. Those who were far away, drunk and close to each other stayed at the host's house and continued their friendship to celebrate their birthday tonight.
A moment later, Miss Cao came over and knocked on the door: "Lan Xue? Lan Xue? Are you inside?"
Helanxue nodded to Su Xuezhi, as if she had made her believe in her. Then she took a deep breath, stood up, walked behind the door, opened a crack in the door, poked her head and asked, "Sister Cao, are you doing something?"
Miss Cao stood outside the door, following her companion.
She smiled and said, "I said a few more words to Aunt Wang, and you disappeared in a blink of an eye. I thought you were a little worried where you went. I finally got out of here, so I came to see you. I stayed at Aunt Wang's house at night. If you don't bother, you either don't have to go back. Let's sleep together and you can talk."
He Lanxue apologized: "I'm sorry, Sister Cao, if my brother is alone at home, I'm afraid he will be lonely at night. I'd better go home."
Miss Cao was stunned and then said softly: "Okay, then I won't keep you anymore. You can go back with your brother."
She took a bowl from the tray from her companion behind her.
"I think you didn't eat anything at night, it's not up to the taste? This is another stewed bird's nest, you can eat it."
Helanxue shook her head and said she was not hungry. Miss Cao advised, "It's just a few gulps, let alone I've brought them all."
He Lanxue hesitated and asked, "Sister Cao, can I invite someone else to eat?"
Miss Cao smiled and said, "Of course."
He Lanxue thanked him, then opened the door, answered, turned around and shouted, "Master Su, do you want to eat bird's nest?"
Then Ms. Cao saw another person in the room, a young man sitting on a chair by the window, looking handsome. When he turned his head, Ms. Cao recognized him as the student who came with Mr. Zong tonight. The wife of the Ma family, the director of Tiancheng Chamber of Commerce, told everyone that he had surgery to save her son, and it seemed that she was still a cousin from the He family who didn't know where they came from.
Su Xuezhi said that he would not eat it and asked Helanxue to eat it.
Helanxue smiled sweetly and said, "Okay, then I'm welcome."
Miss Cao immediately ordered her companion to go and get another bird's nest. The young master of the Su family gave up and said that Mr. Zong should leave now, so he could say goodbye and leave immediately.
Miss Cao waited for Helanxue to finish eating bird's nest, packed the bowl and came out with her. Seeing that her husband looked at her and stopped, her voice turned cold: "What are you thinking? They are relatives, so what's wrong with sitting there!"
The companion was frightened and he hurriedly bowed his head.
Su Xuezhi returned to the front hall, found Zong Fengxian, and followed him to say goodbye to his master.
Wang Xiaokun and his wife's brother Tong Guofeng are sending Zhang Yijiu Lu Hongda and others.
Zhang Yijiu seemed to have drunk a lot of wine, and walked shakingly, but she still said that she was not drunk.
Wang Xiaokun smiled and asked Lu Hongda to take care of him on the way.
Lu Hongda agreed immediately, then turned his head and asked where a son with him had gone, why didn't he see him yet?
The accompanying said, "I just searched for it once, but I didn't see the young master yet. I asked the few people who were sitting with him, saying that he had not come back after going to the toilet. He looked a little drunk at that time. He was still looking for it."
Lu Hongda frowned and looked at Wang Xiaokun, obviously feeling a little embarrassed by his son's guest behavior.
Wang Xiaokun said: "Brother Lu, please be 100 times. What else can happen to my house? Maybe I'm drunk and I'm resting now. I heard that the ship king's condition was a little recurring at night, and the Fu family left the seat early. Since you are here, I must have to visit you tomorrow? It's getting late, so why not go back and rest first. I asked someone to look for it. If I find it, I will send the young master immediately."
Lu Hongda had no choice but to do so, so he smiled, hugged his fists, and went back to the hotel where he was staying with Zhang Yijiu.
Wang Xiaokun watched. When the person left the door, his wife's brother Tong Guofeng turned his head and said to the manager: "Go, send a few more people and look for a few toilets. Don't fall into a drunken way, and finally put it on our heads!"
The manager didn't know whether he was telling the truth or making fun of it, so he didn't dare to ask. He said, and hurriedly sent someone to find it again, and he had to search a few toilet pits just in case.
"Where is Tingzhi?"
Wang Xiaokun asked frowned when he didn't see his son nearby.
Tong Guofeng looked around.
"Here, Tingzhi is here!"
Tong Guofeng snatched up and whispered to his nephew: "Where did you go just now? You are busy here, your father can't take care of it. Hurry up and help, don't be lazy!"
Tong Guofeng is the second in command of the Wang family. He immediately followed Wang Xiaokun for half his life, and he had a lot of prestige inside and outside, so he often mentioned his nephew.
Wang Tingzhi walked over without saying a word and followed his father to send him to the Zong Fengxian.
Wang Xiaokun was kind and took his son and insisted on sending the person out in person.
Wang Tingzhi followed his father, silently. When he sent the VIP out, Su Xuezhi saw him looking at him, his eyes full of self-blame and guilt.
Su Xuezhi looked at the dark night sky towards the back garden of the Wang family, suppressing her chaotic mood and could only follow Mr. Zong to leave first.
That night, after returning to school, she suffered from insomnia and almost woke up all night. Her mind replayed the complete accidental death that happened last night like a lantern. Her heart was hanging, and she didn't know what the next development direction would be.
This was the first hurdle she encountered, the biggest hurdle. Compared with this accident with a terrifying impact, the so-called discomforts before were just like a puddle in front of her feet.
In front of this hurdle, Su Xuezhi had a deep understanding of what powerlessness is, like walking on the cliff, and something called being involuntary.
How will He Hanzhu deal with this difficult follow-up?
When the birthday party in the Wang family was underway, the door for guests to enter and exit seemed much more idle. The two gatehouses were fine and sat aside, and suddenly heard a noise outside, as if someone was fighting. When they went out, they saw that they didn't know which two guests were the coachman of the guests who passed the time to push Paijiu. Someone refused to admit defeat and wanted to cheat and fight.
The doorman watched the excitement for a while, and was afraid that something would happen, so he waited for the butler to blame himself for not paying attention. So he smiled and tried to persuade the fight, separated the people, calmed the storm, turned around and came back, and saw a man like a young man who had walked out of the door, as if drunk, staggeringly, got on a stop-stopped Toyo car and left.
They were only responsible for keeping the door and could not let people in casually. As for the people inside, it was not something the gatekeeper could do. The two of them sat back and continued to guard the door.
At the same time, near the other rear door of the Wang family, there were people coming and going, busy, and a completely different scene from the front.
There were too many banquets for the birthday party, and all the dishes could not be cooked on site by their own home. Some were ordered from several big hotels in Tiancheng. Throughout the evening, people who delivered food and goods came in and out of the back door of the Wang family, which was specially designed for hotel people to enter and exit, and there were endless streams.
Two guys from unknown restaurants came out through the side door with a load of loads of empty food boxes. The subordinates of the Wang family, who were in charge of guarding here, stood by and watched.
"It's a cold day, thank you for your hard work!"
A guy greeted him, took out a lotus leaf bag from the food box at the top with a smile, and handed it over.
The concierge pinched half of the roast chicken, smiled and waved his hand, asking him to go out quickly.
The two of them carried their loads out of the Wang family and turned into the old city. After a while, they found a Guandi Temple. A figure walked out of the darkness. It was Chen Ying from the Sifanghui.
He glanced at the burden sent by the other party, signaled the person behind him to take it, and then left. The figures of the group quickly disappeared into the heavy night.
Starting the next day, Su Xuezhi learned the news one after another.
The Wang family searched for a night and flipped through the entire front and back yards. They took out the toilet pits and looked upwards. They were so stinking that they couldn't find the Lu family's son. Wang Xiaokun finally felt something was wrong. In the morning, he was about to send someone to send a message to Lu Hongda first, but he received a news that he had never expected.
Lu Tianci's whereabouts were found. He did not live in his Wang family, but died in a broken alley near a brothel in the old city.
The people living next to him testified that they heard someone fighting in the middle of the night, and they said that the foreigner was afraid of causing trouble and did not dare to go out. When it came out at dawn, they found that someone had died.
A Western sailor was lying at the entrance of the alley, drunk and unconscious. Next to him was Lu Tianci, with a piece of glass stuck in his head, and fragments of a blood-stained brandy bottle were scattered around him. This was a kind of inferior brandy mixed with alcohol. It was a kind of strong alcohol that the lower-class sailors in the concession were used to drinking, so they quickly reported the case.
The dead person is the son of the Lu family. The other party involved in the case involves foreigners. This is not a small case. Sun Meng, the police chief who had not woken up from drunken last night, broke out in a cold sweat and immediately asked Yao Neng to start the investigation.
Yao Neng and his men rushed over. Ye Xianqi, the head of the police shed, recognized it at a glance, saying that the British sailor often came to this brothel, and they were both men and women. A few days ago, he injured a jealous Japanese ronin. At that time, the case was handled by himself. Because both sides were foreigners, they ran to the old city area to make trouble. They couldn't take care of it, and they didn't care. After the fight was almost the same, they drove away the people and passed away. Unexpectedly, the drunkard actually came here again. Not only did he continue to make trouble while drunk, he even beat the Lu family's son to death.
