I survive in the weird Liaozhai
Chapter 18: Pinching the Neck and Feeding Poison
But after a moment, the gatekeeper came out with a middle-aged man with a square face and a plump figure.
From a distance, the middle-aged man smiled and bowed.
"Master Nian'an, you have come here without even saying hello in advance. If I had known you were coming today, I would have been waiting for you at the door."
After saying that, Steward Tang came to Gu Nian'an, grabbed his wrist and took him directly into the mansion.
As he walked, he continued
"Ugh!"
"Master Nian'an, you came at a bad time. A lot of things happened in the Li Mansion these past two days. I really don't know how to entertain you."
Gu Nian'an did not reject Manager Tang's enthusiasm and followed him into Li's Mansion.
However, as soon as he entered Li's Mansion, he struggled slightly to break free from Manager Tang's claws.
He was a little uncomfortable being involved with a strange man.
Walking beside Manager Tang, Gu Nian'an put away the smile on his face, adjusted his expression for a moment, and asked with some sadness.
"I heard that Manager Song is gone. Manager Tang, do you know what happened?"
Hearing Gu Nian'an's question, Manager Tang paused.
"Ugh!"
"I'm not too sure. The night before yesterday, I don't know which bastard sneaked into the Li residence and stabbed Manager Song in the neck."
"The body was found yesterday morning. I don't know who Manager Song offended. How did he just disappear like that?"
………? ? ? Gu Nian'an
He looked at the fat man beside him speechlessly. Doesn't he really want to pretend anymore?
Please please reduce the smile on your face when you say these words. If you continue talking, he is afraid that this guy will laugh out loud.
However, Gu Nian'an could probably understand Manager Tang's joy.
Judging from Song Qingshan's ability to handle affairs and his methods of doing things, the master should value him more.
I think Manager Tang must have been suppressed by that old bastard Song Qingshan in the past.
Now the person who was pressing down on him is gone for no apparent reason, how could he not be happy?
Not laughing out loud at this moment is the greatest respect for the deceased.
"Manager Tang, Brother Song and I are acquainted with each other, so I plan to burn some incense for him."
"Besides, I know some martial arts. If necessary, I can check Brother Song's body for you. Maybe I can find some clues."
do you need?
Tang Ziren felt that there was no need for this. The person was already dead, so who would care how he died.
In fact, Tang Ziren had an immature guess, but it was just a guess.
He saw the scene where Taoist Nian An beat Song violently the day before yesterday, and he was totally intending to kill him.
So is there a possibility that Taoist Nian An sneaked into Li's house the night before yesterday and stabbed Steward Song?
First of all, since Taoist Nian An is a martial arts master, it should not be difficult for him to sneak into Li’s mansion and kill Steward Song who has little martial arts ability.
Secondly, there are some grudges between Taoist Nian'an and Steward Song.
Isn't this a coincidence? The motive for the murder has been revealed.
Thinking of this, Tang Ziren silently glanced at the young man next to him with a strange look in his eyes.
But what does this have to do with him, Tang Ziren.
Song Qingshan was so happy after hanging him up, that old bastard was not a human being.
Thinking of Fatty Tang, he was the head of the Li family after all, but he was tortured by that old bastard. It's so sad to talk about it!!!
But now that someone offered to help check it out, he couldn't refuse, so he just nodded.
"Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Nian An."
Afterwards, Gu Nian'an followed Steward Tang into the back hall. This was a normal funeral, so the arrangement of the mourning hall was not so sloppy.
Gu Nian'an entered the mourning hall and lit three incense sticks for Song Qingshan, then began to carefully examine the body lying flat in the coffin.
Although Song Qingshan's face was pale in the coffin, his expression seemed unusually peaceful. It seemed that he did not experience any pain before his death.
There were no scars on other parts of the body, only a long scratch on the neck.
So this was a one-shot kill? It seems the person who did it must be an expert.
As for the other things, Gu Nian'an was not a forensic doctor, so he really couldn't figure out anything at the moment.
He slowly bent down, getting two inches closer to Manager Song's body while no one in the mourning hall was paying attention.
With cold eyes, he stretched out his left hand and gently pressed it on Manager Song's chest. He released a hidden force and then quickly withdrew his hand.
Ah!
Since I'm going to die, I'd better die completely. In this world of strange powers, it's safer to do it yourself.
After doing all this, Gu Nian'an stood up and bowed to Manager Tang.
"I see something, but... there are too many people here, so it's not convenient to talk. I wonder if Manager Tang can find a more secluded place for easy communication."
Hearing this, Tang Ziren was stunned for a moment.
After coming to his senses, he looked at the boy in front of him with some surprise.
He had examined Song Qingshan's body and found only one knife wound on his body. Besides, a day had passed now. Was there really anything that could be found out?
But they mean well, so it's hard to refuse.
"Master Nian'an, why don't we go to the side room to talk? No one will disturb us there."
"By the way, Manager Tang, have you reported it to the police?"
"Not yet. With something like this happening in the mansion, we dare not make decisions on our own. We need to wait for the master's orders."
Just as he thought, in this era, human life is not valuable.
To put it nicely, Song Qingshan is the manager of the Li family, but in reality he is still a servant, and servants are sometimes not treated as human beings by their masters.
But it's also a good thing, as it will reduce a lot of trouble. After all, he may be a greater suspect in Song Qingshan's death.
Once the government gets involved, some things are difficult to explain clearly.
Putting aside all distractions, Gu Nian'an followed Manager Tang into the wing room. Along the way, he discovered that this place was just as he said, a quiet place with few people disturbing it.
So Gu Nian'an couldn't help but feel a little more at ease.
The two entered the room and Gu Nian'an slowly closed the door.
Then, before Manager Tang could react, he decisively grabbed his neck, then quickly took out a white candy from his arms and threw it into Manager Tang's mouth, then raised his hand.
"Gudong"
Seeing Manager Tang swallow the candy, he smiled and let go of his hand.
Just as Gu Nian'an loosened his hand, Manager Tang started coughing violently.
"Cough, cough, cough"
After a while when he had recovered from his coughing, Tang Ziren raised his head and looked at the smiling Gu Nian'an with a confused look on his face.
...Gu Nian'an
...Manager Tang
"Master Nian'an, what are you doing..."
"Oh! It's nothing, nothing. It's just a poison I made myself. It's not something weird."
…………Manager Tang
...~ Manager Tang
"Master Nian'an...~ You must be joking. We have no grudges against each other, so it shouldn't be that serious."
Tang Ziren's face was pale, and there was a slight tremor in his voice.
"I'm not kidding. This thing was made with seven kinds of poisonous flowers and seven kinds of poisonous grasses. It took us 49 days to make it. The effect should be quite good."
...? ? ? Manager Tang
"This... this... which one?"
Looking at the incoherent fat man in front of him, Gu Nian'an slowly began to explain
"Don't panic, Manager Tang. I have an antidote. Besides, the poison doesn't take effect that quickly. It will probably take effect around this time tomorrow."
Gu Nian'an thought about it and continued to add
"After the drug takes effect, it won't be too painful. It will just cause your blood to flow backwards, your tendons and veins to break, and blood will flow from all your orifices. You will struggle for a few hours."
...~ Manager Tang
...~ Manager Tang
After hearing what Gu Nian'an said, Tang Ziren collapsed to the ground.
After calming down for a moment, he quickly crawled in front of Gu Nian'an, raised his head, and looked at the boy in front of him with pleading eyes.
"That... ~ That Taoist Nian'an, I, Fatty Tang, have never offended you."
"If you have anything to say, just say it. I, Fatty Tang, will never dare to say no."
Gu Nian'an walked forward and helped Manager Tang up from the ground and sighed slightly.
"Ugh!"
"Manager Tang, I really have something to ask of you, but I'm afraid you'll refuse, so I resorted to this desperate measure. Manager Tang won't blame me, will he?"
