Chapter 16: Big Brother is Missing
Lin Nanyue heard it all clearly at the side. Her face turned even more livid when she realized that the killers who were chasing Gu Anqing had also chased people from the village before.
Unlike his younger sister, in his memory, his father always liked to use both hands, hanging him on one side and his third brother on the other, and spinning around at home to play with them.
However, Dad suddenly stopped coming back. When he was young, his mother told him that his father was away. It was not until he grew up that his mother told him and his brothers that Dad was gone.
Like them, there were many others who lost their fathers and brothers at the same time.
He understood what his younger sister meant. The elders in the village who were being hunted actually included their father.
The hands at his sides were clenched into fists, veins bulging on them.
"Ms. Lin, how can you be sure that the old master was killed by the accomplices who were hunting down the young master?" Chang Qing's heart was pounding with fear at what Lin Qiuer said just now. Even after the shock, he still felt a sense of disbelief in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask back.
As soon as he said this, he immediately felt the fierce murderous aura from Lin Nanyue.
Gu Anqing's expression also changed drastically, but unlike Changqing, he did not doubt what Lin Qiuer said. Instead, he felt that what she said might be the truth.
If it hadn't been for years of planning, how could the cause of my grandfather's poisoning have remained undiscovered for so long?
And this outing was originally a last-minute decision, how could the killer know about it? There was only one possibility, that is, those people had been lying in ambush outside the Gu Mansion, keeping an eye on their every move.
Lin Qiu'er, who was questioned by Chang Qing, did not show any displeasure on her face. Instead, she smiled and praised, "Very good, you are very good. You can remain skeptical in any situation. You are worthy of being by Master Gu's side."
Chang Qing showed an embarrassed look on his face when Lin Qiuer praised him.
"But you have to know that no matter what happened, there must be reasons and traces for it." Lin Qiu'er continued, "Your old master's daily life must be taken care of by trustworthy people, so why did he get poisoned for no reason? Those people may have bribed the people in your house, or threatened them with the safety of their relatives, or they achieved their goals through some means that even the people in your house don't know about. There are only these three possibilities."
Chang Qing opened his mouth in shock, and Gu Anqing looked at Lin Qiuer with admiration.
"What's wrong? You don't believe it?" Lin Qiu'er had witnessed countless conspiracies and intrigues. Generally speaking, as long as one speculates with the darkest psychology, most people can guess the truth. Could it be that she guessed wrong?
"No. What Miss Lin said makes a lot of sense." Gu Anqing shook his head and replied.
Chang Qing nodded in agreement, "I am really too narrow-minded. I could only think that someone in the mansion was bribed, but I didn't think of the last two items at all."
Although Lin Nanyue did not fully understand what his younger sister said, when he saw that both Gu Anqing and his servant praised him highly, he also expressed his deep agreement.
His little sister was already very capable.
"I have no idea about these hidden enemies. What's more, it's been too long since the incident in our village, so I have no direction to investigate. That's why I would like to ask Mr. Gu to let us join in the investigation of the poisoning of the old man in the mansion or the case of you being hunted down. After all, sometimes more people can lead to more ideas." Lin Qiu'er made her purpose clear at this time.
Gu Anqing had long been impressed by Lin Qiuer's keen observation and wisdom, so as soon as Lin Qiuer finished speaking, he agreed without hesitation.
"It is truly my great honor that Miss Lin can join me in the investigation."
After Gu Anqing agreed, Lin Qiu'er finally felt relieved. "When you are able to move, I think it's best to go home as soon as possible. I saved you, but I'm afraid someone will see that you didn't go back and spread rumors, such as saying that you are dead. The poison in your old man's body has not been cured yet. He might be furious when he hears the news, and that would really cause trouble."
If Lin Qiuer had said, "If you don't go home soon, your old man will be dead." Gu Anqing might not have believed it.
But what she said now was reasonable and well-founded, which made Gu Anqing start to feel nervous.
"I'll listen to Miss Lin. I just don't know how long it will take for me to regain my freedom of movement after taking the detoxification pill."
Lin Qiu'er was stunned by the question. She didn't know the exact time. Not to mention her, even a doctor with superb medical skills would probably find it difficult to make an accurate judgment.
"Maybe, probably, maybe tomorrow?"
Gu Anqing was amused by this somewhat clumsy way of answering.
With this smile, the heavy atmosphere just now was blown away.
Lin Qiu'er was so embarrassed that she wanted to die on the spot. Suddenly, a man ran in from outside. He glanced at Gu Anqing on the bed, and then saw Lin Nanyue, and immediately shouted, "Nanyue, it's bad. Your elder brother is missing."
As soon as Lin Nanyue saw this man, he immediately recognized him as a colleague who worked with his eldest brother at the post station. His eldest brother had brought him back several times, but because they were not allowed to enter the village, they had to stay in the wooden house every time.
"Brother Song Ye, what did you say?" Lin Nanyue took a step forward, grabbed the shoulder of the man named Song Ye, and asked anxiously.
"Your eldest brother disappeared while delivering an 800-mile express letter."
"Fourth brother, let go of your hand first. If you don't, his shoulder will be broken." Lin Qiu'er walked forward and pulled away Lin Nanyue's hand that was tightly holding on to her shoulder. She knew very well how strong the people in the village were. Song Ye in front of her could not withstand his strength.
This action also made Lin Nanyue realize his impulsiveness. He apologized repeatedly, "Brother Song Ye, I'm sorry, I'm sorry."
Song Ye made a bitter face, rubbed his painful shoulder with his hand, and said helplessly, "It's okay. I can still bear this little bit of force."
"My eldest brother is missing. What's the reaction from the post station? Have they sent anyone to search for my eldest brother?" Lin Qiu'er had never seen her eldest brother, so compared to the panic of Lin Nanyue, who grew up with her eldest brother, she could ask this question calmly.
Song Ye's originally bitter face changed a little bit. He looked at Gu Anqing and his servant, and then at Lin Qiuer and his sister. No one had to guess his expression. It meant that there were outsiders around and it was inconvenient to say.
"It's okay, Brother Song Ye, just tell us directly. This is the son of General Gu. If we have any troubles in the future, maybe we can ask him for help." Lin Qiuer explained to Song Ye.
Gu Anqing nodded to Song Ye and said, "Miss Lin, if you need anything, just ask."
After hearing that the person on the bed was actually the young master of the Gu family, Song Ye was relieved immediately. "So it's the young master of the Gu family, that's really great. Hey, someone came today to report that horses from the post station were found on the road that Brother Lin passed by when delivering the letter, and there were also signs of a fight at the scene."
"In broad daylight, there are actually people so bold as to rob the messenger at the post station." Chang Qing blurted out in surprise.
"What this brother said makes sense." Song Ye said, "At first, Bai Yicheng was reluctant to send someone to check, but later it was Song Yicheng who stepped forward and sent someone to check. As soon as I finished my shift, I ran over to tell you the news."
Lin Qiuer understood one thing from this short sentence: this small post station was divided into two factions.
