My vest is not human [comprehensive martial arts]

The guards of the Jiang Mansion bought sesame seed cakes, pickled peanuts and dried bamboo shoots, and filled the water bag with water.

Chu Liuxiang could tell that he originally had his share, but Jiang Gui knew his identity and showed inexplicable hostility, so it was naturally impossible to share the food with him.

Young Master Jinyi had no choice but to sit in the distance with the cat in his arms, watching the guards of the Jiang residence eat and drink.

The guards of Jiang's family, who had been running around for a long time, finally found the young master's body. The master was not there, and after drinking again, he talked more.

One of them said: "The second young master's death is ugly. My wife will definitely lose her temper when she sees it. What's wrong with our brothers to encounter this errand? Xiaofu and Ren Liu'er went back to the house to report. It is estimated that the old lady will be a few years old." I don't want to see them both."

In the temple behind is the corpse of the second young master Jiang Ying.No one wanted to eat in front of a dead body, and several guards sat on the steps outside, gnawing on sesame seed cakes.

"It's hard to say." A guard swallowed the dry food in his mouth, and said, "Madam has always loved the second young master, how can she take care of us? What do you think about so much, work hard, and you will never miss a bite of food eat."

"Second young master is such a respectable person, but he has become like this after death..." The man glanced at Chu Liuxiang without any trace, and lowered his voice to the brother next to him, "I heard that the second young master thought he joined the bat. ..."

"It's just your mouth!" Jiang Gui has been listening silently, without opening his mouth to respond. Only then did he loudly stop his brothers, "Is it possible for us to arrange the master's affairs?"

Chu Liuxiang's hearing was good, even though the man hadn't finished speaking, he still had some guesses.

Jiang Gui obviously has a higher status than the others, has more contacts with the master of the family, and knows something that others don't.

He had previously said that the second young master of the Jiang family was wandering around the rivers and lakes, and did not return home until he became blind not long ago.After a few days, he disappeared, and the body was found here until today.

Jiang Ershao didn't return all year round, probably because he joined Bat Island.

Yuan Suiyun ordered the eyes of all those who were auctioned off on Bat Island.Jiang Ershao was able to go home to visit him from time to time. Obviously, his actions were not restricted too much, and he should be the pawn who helped Yuan Suiyun do evil.

Yuan Suiyun has a gentle temperament on the surface, but in reality he is indifferent and dark, disregarding life, and doesn't take human life seriously. "Eyes" is Yuan Suiyun's sore spot. He wished that everyone around him would be like him, always trapped in the darkness and unable to get out.If Jiang Ershao did something wrong, it is very likely that Yuan Suiyun's eyes would be gouged out.

So is it really the forces left behind by Yuan Suiyun that killed Jiang Ershao?

Although Chu Liuxiang exposed Yuan Suiyun's ambition, he didn't understand him.

He always felt that the things hidden in the dark cave on Bat Island were not as simple as they appeared on the surface.

In addition to Bat Island, Yuan Suiyun might have another hole card, but before he could use it, he was dragged by the golden ganoderma and fell into the cliff together.

Gu Anning's hearing is better, and he naturally heard the chatter of the guards of the Jiang family, and he confirmed that this is not the first time he has come to this world.

The last time I came here, Gu Anning's task was to play the role of "ghost living in the tree", that is, a ghost living in the tree.This kind of ghost steals and cuts down trees and sells them for money, which is detrimental to yin and morality. Therefore, after death, it becomes a tree-dwelling ghost and experiences the pain of heat and cold.

Yuan Suiyun would never appear in person. After hearing that there were ghosts in the tree, he not only did not stay away, nor did he drive them away, but sent his servants to inquire about ghosts and gods.He never mentioned his name, and the identity he used was "Master Bat". The information that Gu Anning knew was exactly the same as what Jiang Gui and the others mentioned.

But what about Yuan Suiyun has anything to do with him?

Gu Anning shrank into Chu Liuxiang's arms, avoided the sun, stretched out her paws and licked it, thinking lazily.

He has exchanged the Disguise Technique, and now that he is a cat, even if he returns to his body soon, he can use the Disguise Technique to change his appearance.Even if you come to this world next time, you will be affected by ghosts and have huge differences in personality, and you will not have the same appearance, let alone worry.

Seeing the kitten licking its paws, Chu Liuxiang thought it was hungry, remembering how it almost bit the corpse.

He glanced at Jiang Gui and found that Jiang Gui had already eaten, so he hugged the cat and went forward, "Brother Jiang, there is nothing wrong with you suspecting that I am the murderer of your young master, but the cat is innocent."

Gu Anning gave him a "meow", not knowing what he wanted to do.

Chu Liuxiang said, "I just arrived here yesterday, and at that time only this cat was by your young master's side. For the sake of the human nature of this little beast, can you give it something to eat?"

Jiang Gui thought for a while, nodded, took out a biscuit from the oil paper bag, tore half of it and gave it to Chu Liuxiang, "Is that enough?"

"Thank you." Chu Liuxiang said.

He took the biscuits and hugged the cat back to the place where he sat down, tore the biscuits into small pieces with his hands, put them on the ground, and then put the cat down, with some anticipation in his gentle expression, "Eat it."

Like a real cat, Gu Anning walked gracefully, quietly approached the biscuit, sniffed it with her nose, turned her head away in disgust, and said to Chu Liuxiang: "Meow~" "What's wrong? Are you hungry? "Chu Liuxiang has no experience in feeding cats, but seeing the reaction of the black cat, it really doesn't look like he is hungry.

So it's not going to gnaw on a corpse.Then why does it stay beside the corpse, and it looks like it wants to get close?

Could it be that the second young master of the Jiang family secretly raised a cat?

A kitten does not play a big role in the whole case.But Chu Liuxiang's intuition told herself that this cat must not be ignored, there must be a secret in it.

Gu Anning, who was using a non-human body, would not answer Chu Liuxiang's words.

He squinted his eyes, stepped on the ground with four paws, squatted down slightly, jumped hard, and returned to Chu Liuxiang's arms.

The kitten stomped restlessly on all four of its feet, turned two or three times on Chu Liuxiang's legs before finding the position just now, shrunk its head to hide from the sun, and curled up into a ball.

"You..." Chu Liuxiang smiled helplessly and rubbed his head.

The Jiang family was a hundred miles away from here, and it was almost night when Mrs. Jiang and Young Master Jiang arrived in a carriage.

Young Master Jiang got down from the carriage first, then went back to the carriage behind to help Mrs. Jiang, and said, "Mother, slow down, watch your feet."

Chu Liuxiang looked at them in surprise.

It's not because he is familiar with the Jiang family, but because of their clothes.

Young Master Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were all dressed in white, with a pair of simple straw sandals on their feet, and black cloth strips tied on their sleeves, with the word "Dian" written on them.

Could it be that they didn't even need to meet each other to confirm that the corpse in the temple was their missing youngest son who put on this costume in advance?

It was too indifferent.

Chu Liuxiang thought in her heart, her face remained calm.

He put down the cat, stepped forward and said, "Chu Liuxiang, the two of you are finally here."

Mrs. Jiang is a middle-aged woman, similar in appearance to Mr. Jiang next to her.She was dressed in sackcloth, and she was supposed to be pitiful, but she covered up the grief in her eyes with a cold expression, which seemed a little unnatural.

She said, "You killed my youngest son?"

Chu Liuxiang raised her hand and was about to touch her nose, but when she remembered the cat, she stopped abruptly.

He smiled helplessly, "I just passed by by chance. I saw the corpse in the temple and no one cared about it. I felt sorry for him, so I wanted to bury him. I didn't expect to meet someone from your house before I could do it."

Mrs. Jiang didn't say anything.

She pursed her lips tightly and walked towards the temple.

"I'm Jiang Hua, it's my mother just now." Young Master Jiang smiled apologetically, and explained in a low voice, "20 days ago, my father died of illness, and my brother was injured again. Now... oh. My mother is in so much grief. If you are rude, please don't be rude. Strange."

After all, he caught up with Madam Jiang and wanted to go in with her.

"Ma'am." Jiang Gui stopped, "Second Young Master has been missing for fifteen days...the corpse looks a bit ugly."

Mrs. Jiang sneered, "My own son, can I still be afraid? Get out of the way!"

Jiang Gui took half a step back and followed Mrs. Jiang and Young Master Jiang in.

Chu Liuxiang also followed.

Several hours passed, and the stench of corpses in the temple seemed to be getting stronger.

The corpse was dressed in black, with dry and disheveled hair, his face was covered with corpse spots, his fingers were stiff, and his nails seemed darker and longer than last night.

Mrs. Jiang was almost unable to stand still, and was supported by Young Master Jiang, and took two steps forward.

Since stepping into the temple, Jiang Hua's complexion was not very good-looking, and his eyes never looked at the corpse.Seeing that Mrs. Jiang insisted on going over, he bit his lower lip and said softly, "Mother... just let the servants check it out, why do you have to go over in person?"

Mrs. Jiang knew her son's temperament well, and she was only a little disappointed when she heard the words, and did not force her. She said, "If you are afraid, go out first."

"I, I'm not afraid..." He didn't go out, and he didn't go up with Mrs. Jiang. He just stood aside, turned his face slightly, and looked away. Chu Liuxiang observed the expressions of everyone in the room and kept it in his heart .

Mrs. Jiang raised the hem of her clothes and knelt beside the corpse. She first looked at the fabric on the corpse's clothes, and then carefully checked the workmanship, her eyes suddenly turned red.

She didn't get up immediately, but with trembling hands, she pushed back her messy hair, revealing a black and blue face covered with corpse spots.

The meat on it has begun to rot, and many bugs are crawling on it.

The soft eyeballs should also turn into pools of blood, and it is impossible to tell whether his eyes were normal in his lifetime.

The white ribbon covering the face is not here, but the Jiang family is so far away from the Town God's Temple, it is possible that it fell on the road.

Most importantly, the skeleton body of the corpse was exactly the same as her son...

Mrs. Jiang touched the belt on its body, and she really saw the word "Ying" on the inside.

Even if she didn't want to admit it anymore, she had to be sure that this man was her son.

Jiang Gui stepped forward, helped her up, took out a jade pendant, handed it to her, and said, "Ma'am, I saw this when I came here in the morning."

Even Jiang Gui recognized him, so how could Mrs. Jiang not know?

With trembling hands, she took the jade pendant and stuck it to her chest, her eyes became more and more red, and suddenly her body softened and she passed out.

"lady!"

"mother!"

Young Master Jiang hurried over, hugged Mrs. Jiang in his arms, and asked Jiang Gui helplessly, "What should I do?"

"Madam should have passed out due to excessive grief." Jiang Guidao, "Master, you can try and pinch Madam's people with your fingers."

Jiang Hua didn't dare to use too much force, and couldn't wake Mrs. Jiang up after pinching for a long time. Jiang Gui said "I'm offended" and pressed his thumb hard, and Mrs. Jiang woke up quickly.

Her eyes were full of fatigue, not as cold and vigilant as before, as if she had aged ten years all of a sudden.

She leaned against Jiang Hua for a while, then whispered for a while, "Take Ying Er back together."

Jiang Gui responded and ordered the brothers to get a Roman cart and a coffin.

Jiang Hua helped Mrs. Jiang stand up and walked to the gate of the temple. Mrs. Jiang said to Chu Liuxiang, "You too."

Chu Liuxiang sighed and followed.

When Jiang Hua and Mrs. Jiang returned to Jiang's house in two carriages, Chu Liuxiang followed Jiang Hua in one.

He could tell that Jiang Hua was weak and not close to the strong Mrs. Jiang, but people with this personality usually would not reject others, and maybe they could get something out of him.

Jiang Hua first watched his mother get into the carriage, and then went to the carriage behind with Chu Liuxiang.He politely let Chu Liuxiang go first, as if the other party was just an ordinary guest, not the suspect who killed his brother.

Chu Liuxiang didn't refuse. After entering the carriage, seeing the kitten lying on the seat wagging its tail, she couldn't help laughing, "You're smart, you know it's comfortable inside."

Jiang Hua's breathing outside suddenly became short of breath, he quickly adjusted, and his tone became softer, "Xiang Shuai... who are you talking to?"

It seems that he was really scared, Chu Liuxiang thought.

"It's that black cat just now." He said, "Master Jiang is afraid of cats?"

Jiang Hua breathed a sigh of relief, opened the curtain of the car and came in, he said, "The cat is cute, it's nothing to be afraid of."

Gu Anning stared at him closely, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and his golden pupils stood up, like a snake that was preying.He bared his teeth, squeezed his throat and gave Jiang Hua a "meow".

Jiang Hua was startled, he didn't dare to look at the black cat, and moved to the side, "Xiang, Xiangshuai, this cat, does it hurt people?"

"Be good, why are you putting on airs?" Chu Liuxiang put the cat in her arms, remembering the cat's attack on her last night. The cat who was vigilant and nervous at that time seemed to have changed compared to today. one.

It seems that he has confirmed that there is no threat and treats him as one of his own.Chu Liuxiang thought happily.

He didn't say that the cat didn't belong to him. Seeing Young Master Jiang's frightened appearance, if he knew that the kitten was just a wild cat, he would definitely want to throw it out of the carriage.

Although it is not clear what role this cat played in the case, Chu Liuxiang did not expect to spend so much time looking for it after that time.

Both Jiang Hua and Mrs. Jiang are ordinary people who don't know martial arts, and there was a funeral at home, and their physical strength declined severely after many days of vigil.In order to take care of their bodies, the carriage drove very slowly, so Chu Liuxiang had more time to talk with Jiang Hua.

He petted the cat, just looking at his appearance, he didn't look like a wandering rivers and lakes man, but he looked more like a son of a family than Jiang Hua.

The kitten felt comfortable being touched, purring from its throat, and narrowing its eyes slightly, it didn't scare the poor Jiang Hua anymore.

Chu Liuxiang said: "Master Jiang just said that your father died 20 days ago?"

Jiang Hua's eyes were red.

He looks about the same age as Chu Liuxiang.Chu Liuxiang doesn't have too many ties, but Jiang Hua agrees that he has already married a wife and had children.This man who should have become a father has never been strong, not even his mother.

Chu Liuxiang didn't have a good impression of him, but it wasn't too bad either.

Jiang Hua whispered, "Father has been ill for two years, and his health has not been very good. Not long ago, he suddenly fainted in the yard, and his health completely collapsed. My brother hasn't come home yet...we don't know where he is, and even if we want to call him home, we don't know where to send the letter."

The word "Second Brother" was spoken more lightly by him than other words.

Gu Anning licked his paws, looked up at him, and stopped.

Jiang Hua paused for a moment, then continued, "Dad woke up from the coma the next day after he fainted, and he came back that night. The second brother's eyes were wrapped in a white cloth, and the blood was bleeding continuously. Budu was dyed red. His eyeballs were gouged out and he became blind. At this time, he told us that he had been working for Bat Island all these years. Because of his inappropriate words, he said something in front of Bat Boy The word "blind" means that Mr. Bat will have his eyes gouged out and make him blind too. Jiang Ying didn't want to lose his eyes, so she escaped from Bat Island. Mr. Bat sent people to chase him for nearly two months. Still found him."

"I found out about Bat Island two months ago." Chu Liuxiang said.

Jiang Hua nodded, "If Xiang Shuai could expose Bat Island earlier, Jiang Ying might be fine...or, together with the rest of Bat Island, he would be punished by the righteous way. He did something wrong."

Chu Liuxiang sighed.

Jiang Hua said, "Jiang Ying didn't know that her father was seriously ill. She knelt on the ground with blood on her hands and cried to her father. Her father was anxious and worried about his injury. Before he could catch his breath, he passed out and passed away three days later. My father passed away. Afterwards, Jiang Ying disappeared after attending the funeral, until today."

Chu Liuxiang felt that Jiang Hua had a guilty conscience when he narrated, and guessed that he should have lied, but he didn't know how true or false it was.

He looked at Jiang Hua, "My condolences."

"Thank you Xiangshuai for your comfort." Jiang Hua said, "Xiangshuai thinks that the person who killed my second brother was from Bat Island?"

"It is indeed possible." Chu Liuxiang said, "Bat Island has close contacts with the killer organization, and there is never a shortage of money, enough to offer a reward for any part of anyone."

For example, Jiang Ying's eyes.

Jiang Hua said: "But Jiang Ying is dead, will the killer organization still come to trouble the Jiang family?"

"It's the rules of the road that the family members can't be harmed, so don't worry, Young Master Jiang." Chu Liuxiang said.

"It's not as bad as your family?" Jiang Hua murmured, showing an ugly smile at Chu Liuxiang.

Gu Anning lay on Chu Liuxiang's lap, drowsy.

Chu Liuxiang's body was already full of the smell of a black cat, and his chic white clothes were also covered with cat hair, as if he had become the property of the black cat.

Gu Anning half-closed his eyes, his golden pupils were no longer focused, and his body relaxed, spreading into a limp strip, drooping on Chu Liuxiang's leg.

But even so, as long as there is any movement around him, he can quickly react and get up to escape.

Gu Anning originally thought that only by returning to her body could she accept the evil ghost's obsession, but she did not expect to be able to remember part of the memory after seeing the evil ghost's secular family.

It is the memory of his blindness.

If there is no such memory, Gu Anning would never have guessed that the person who killed Jiang Ying was his elder brother.

They are clearly brothers of the same father and mother, their parents are loving, their father has never even taken concubines, and there are no more brothers competing for their parents' favor.

Gu Anning felt that this pair of brothers was very similar to himself and his elder brother. He really couldn't figure out why Jiang Hua wanted to kill Jiang Ying, and it was still Jiang Ying who was blinded after suffering great injuries.

If it was placed on Gu Anning... If he was injured, Mr. Gu would definitely comfort him first, and then he would raise his sword to slash at people!

For a person like Jiang Hua, even if he is weak and dare not avenge his brother, he shouldn't be killed.

Jiang Ying may know why she died, but that part of his memory has not recovered.After becoming a ghost, most of the memories of life will be forgotten, and the longer the dead, the more forgotten, and finally only resentment remains.

Gu Anning thought that Jiang Ying might resent Jiang Hua.

He forcefully opened his eyes, looked at Jiang Hua, and returned to the half-closed state.

Want sleep.

But in front of the murderer who killed him, he couldn't sleep at all.

"Gulu Gulu..." Gu Anning stretched out his claws, hugged Chu Liuxiang's wrist, and rubbed his chin on it.

"You clingy cat." Chu Liuxiang pinched the kitten's pink pads with two fingers.

Jiang Hua looked at the interaction between one person and one cat, without the initial fear, envy and tenderness, but a little dazed.

Chu Liuxiang glanced at him, "Brother Jiang?"

Jiang Hua came back to his senses, "Ah...huh?"

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "Brother Jiang is still thinking about Brother Ling?"

Jiang Hua responded vaguely.

Chu Liuxiang said, "Brother Jiang, don't worry, Brother Ling is dead and has nothing to do with Bat Island. No one will target the family."

He did not mention the cause of Jiang Ying's death, nor did he discuss who killed him in front of Jiang Hua, but kept emphasizing that the family members were not to be blamed.

No harm to the family...

Jiang Hua's face turned even paler.

Chu Liuxiang had definitely guessed that he killed his younger brother!

It was already midnight when we returned to Jiang Mansion.

Town God's Temple and Jiang's house are in the same town, and they are not separated by city walls. Even if the key has been locked, they can still drive back at night with more detours.

It's just that the body behind will probably have to wait until tomorrow, and no one wants to transport such a body at night.

Chu Liuxiang got out of the car with the cat in her arms, and followed the absent-minded Jiang Hua.

The door of the house opened, and a beautiful woman came out of the house after hearing the sound.

With a coat on her body and a bulging belly, she looked like she should be six or seven months pregnant.

Pregnancy did not make this woman softer, but more coquettish and strong. She glanced at Jiang Hua and said, "Why did you come back so late? Do you know how long I have been waiting?"

Jiang Hua hurried forward, holding her waist with one hand, and holding her hand with the other, "Young lady, keep your voice down, there are guests coming today."

"Why? It's hard to say when there are guests?" the woman said.

"To be fair, you are pregnant, don't lose your temper all the time, why are you waiting for me so late? Why don't you go to bed earlier?" Jiang Hua smiled apologetically at Chu Liuxiang, and helped the woman back to the room.

Mrs. Jiang's expression was calm, and there were still some tears on her face, but her voice was very steady, and her tone was also very flat: "Mother-in-law and daughter-in-law are not getting along, I'm laughing at you."

Chu Liuxiang smiled, and he roughly understood the cause of Jiang Ying's death.

It's just that there is no evidence to prove it now.

He asked, "What are your plans for the future, madam?"

After Mrs. Jiang's young lady came out, the cat in her arms felt the breath of a stranger, and suddenly became alert. Chu Liuxiang was afraid that it would run away and scratch people, so she used a little strength to hug the cat tightly. Now only a black head was exposed. It is almost integrated with the night, but compared to the day, it is very energetic, the eyes are very round, and it is no longer a sleepy look.

Mrs. Jiang said, "There are bloodstains on Yinger's clothes, it should be that someone pierced her abdomen with a sword."

Chu Liuxiang nodded.

Mrs. Jiang said, "Although his martial arts are not strong, he is not too weak either. After an abdominal injury, he will not die immediately. If it happened at home, there would definitely be fights and cries for help. But the house was very quiet that day. sound."

Chu Liuxiang said: "So Jiang Ershao was probably killed outside, and someone asked him out."

Madam Jiang looked up at the moon.

Today's moon is not as round as yesterday.

There was crystal liquid flowing out of the corner of her eyes, she raised her hand, and gently wiped it off, "Ying'er is still young, he hasn't married a wife and had children yet, why is God so unfair to him?"

The black cat moved, and it was the first time it barked so sweetly: "Meow~" Mrs. Jiang glanced at the cat, "This cat is very good."

Chu Liuxiang smiled, "It really understands human nature."
