Chapter 88: Murderer Suspicion (1)

Zhuo Qing and her party were invited into the main hall. The faint fragrance of pear wood was refreshing. Several ink paintings were hung on the wall, but they were not landscapes or figures, but the most famous musical instruments in the world. In the empty hall, there were no other complicated and redundant sundries, and the whole hall gave people a feeling of being noble and arrogant.

Gu Yun, as usual, habitually looked around and walked back and forth in the middle of the hall. She thought this so-called big family would let them wait for a long time, but she didn't expect that they had only arrived for a while when a low chant as clear as a deep spring sounded leisurely: "Miss Qing."

Gu Yun turned her head and looked. A white figure walked lightly, like a breeze blowing toward her. The handsome face, calm behavior, and the calm and deep eyes made him easily capture everyone's sight. Gu Yun finally understood why Zhuo Qing would use "indifferent and clear" to describe him. He was like a cloud of mist, giving people a feeling of being cold, drifting, gathering and scattering, indifferent and distant.

Zhuo Qing nodded generously and smiled: "Young Master Su, is your body better?"

Su Mufeng smiled and replied: "Thank you, Miss, I'm fine."

Gu Yun's sharp and sharp eyes were ignored by few people. Su Mufeng looked at the woman standing in the living room staring at him, nodded to her with good manners, but the smile at the corner of his lips was so faint that it could hardly be seen.

This person was very interesting. You wouldn't feel that he was impolite, but you would never feel his enthusiasm. Zhuo Qing smiled: "She is my sister, Qing Mo, and these two are government runners from the Tixing Mansion."

Su Mufeng looked at the other two on the side, his face didn't show surprise or impatience, just asked calmly: "What can I do for you?"

Lv Jin stood up, cupped his hands, and said politely: "Young Master Su, sorry to bother you, please forgive me. The victims of the previous cases were all your students, so we have some questions to ask." Su Mufeng was not a person in the imperial court, but his reputation was very good. Facing such a graceful person, who could help but respect him!

Su Mufeng nodded gently and replied: "You two don't have to be polite, please ask."

"When you gave the last lesson to the young ladies, was there anything strange about them?"

"No." Su Mufeng's answer was calm and concise.

"How long have you been teaching them the zither?"

"Miss Si and Miss Li each taught three lessons, and the princess taught two lessons." His calm face was calm and natural, and Su Mufeng even cooperated and said: "Do you need a list of people Su has taught? If you need it, I will let the servant send it to the Tixing Mansion tomorrow morning."

"This..." Su Mufeng was so cooperative that Lv Jin felt embarrassed.

"This is just right!" Gu Yun's clear voice sounded a bit aggressive, walking toward Su Mufeng step by step, Gu Yun asked coldly: "As their teacher, what do you feel about their death?"

Meeting Gu Yun, Su Mufeng didn't avoid or get angry because she wasn't a person from the yamen. His face was still indifferent with not many expressions, and he replied: "Very shocked, I hope to find the murderer as soon as possible."

Gu Yun's bright eyes flashed. This person's expression was too calm, so calm that she could hardly see what he was thinking. Perhaps she had met an opponent. Having walked to Su Mufeng, Gu Yun continued to ask: "What is your opinion on the murderer's killing method?"

"I don't know how the murderer killed, no opinion." Su Mufeng's tone was flat, his expression natural, and every question he answered seemed seamless. Gu Yun continued to approach. Zhuo Qing stood up, wanting to pull Gu Yun, she seemed a bit excessive today.

But Zhuo Qing stepped on Gu Yun's skirt just as she stood up. Gu Yun was only focused on Su Mufeng and didn't pay attention for a while, stumbling and rushing forward. Fortunately, she reacted quickly, immediately grabbing Su Mufeng's arm to stabilize her figure so she wouldn't fall.

Standing up straight, Gu Yun apologized: "Sorry."

Just as she wanted to withdraw her hand, she found that the arm under her hand was trembling slightly. Raising her eyes to look at Su Mufeng, the always indifferent and calm face showed deliberately hidden tension and panic. Gu Yun was stunned. She just supported his arm!?

Zhuo Qing just wanted to step forward to ask how she was, but saw Gu Yun's body soften, leaning on Su Mufeng, and called out in a low voice: "My foot seems to be twisted."

Twisted like this?! Impossible! Even if it was really twisted, Gu Yun couldn't possibly lie in a man's arms and not get up. Zhuo Qing stepped back and watched the changes.

Gu Yun could feel that when she softened into his arms, Su Mufeng was obviously stiff, pushing her toward the wooden chair on the side, the force was quite large, and the voice sounded stiff and cold: "Please sit down, Miss."

A sharp glint flashed in Gu Yun's eyes. Not only was her body completely back in his embrace, but her hand was also brazenly wrapped around his waist. She feigned a coquettish tone and cried out, "It hurts so much, I can't walk. Help me over there."

Su Mufeng was completely at a loss, his slender ten fingers opened Gu Yun's hand around his waist, his face changed from indifference to coldness. At this time, a sharp low roar came from outside the door: "What are you pulling and dragging for?!"

Looking at the direction of the low roar, a woman in her thirties walked toward them. The woman was in a dark blue long skirt, her hair tied into a high cloud bun, with several unique pure silver long hairpins on it. Her beautiful face and slender figure were definitely a great beauty. It was just that her eyes were full of anger, and a pair of phoenix eyes stared at Gu Yun, looking furious!

Seeing the visitor clearly, Su Mufeng called respectfully: "Xin Yi."

The woman didn't even look at him, walking directly toward Gu Yun. "The foot is twisted, right? I'll help you." Before the words fell, the woman grabbed Gu Yun's arm and pulled her away from Su Mufeng's side. The force was so great that Gu Yun frowned.

Almost thrown onto the wooden chair farthest from Su Mufeng, Gu Yun observed this "Xin Yi" who had suddenly appeared without changing her expression.

Phoenix eyes swept coldly at Cheng Hang and Lv Jin, the woman hummed impatiently: "What else do you have to ask or say, please be quick, Mufeng has many other things to do!"

Cheng Hang and Lv Jin looked at each other, and then looked at Zhuo Qing. Zhuo Qing shook her head slightly at them. At this time, Gu Yun suddenly stood up, laughed brightly, and replied: "Nothing to ask, sorry to bother you both, goodbye."

After speaking, Gu Yun walked toward the door gracefully, her feet didn't look like they were twisted at all...

A group of people walked out of the Su Mansion, and the sky was already full of clouds at dusk. The crimson in the eyes was like a dream, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to look away. It was just that no matter how beautiful the sunset was, it was in vain. Before long, the black curtain would drown all its glory.

Stretching her waist, Cheng Hang sighed frustratedly: "Busy for nothing again!"

"That's not necessarily." Zhuo Qing suddenly threw out a sentence not heavy or light. Cheng Hang turned his head sharply and looked at Zhuo Qing, only to see her and Gu Yun looking at each other, both smiling and not speaking. Cheng Hang was about to ask, but Lv Jin put his hand on his shoulder and said: "Let's talk when we go back."

Returning to the Tixing Mansion, before Gu Yun sat down, Cheng Hang chased her and asked: "Is Su Mufeng a problem?" He felt that Qing Mo had a strange ability, as if just by looking, she could distinguish some things from a person's face. This was too powerful. If she was willing to teach him, he didn't mind calling a girl who looked much younger than himself master!

Sitting leisurely on the wooden chair, Gu Yun picked up the water cup on the long table, and then slowly picked up the porcelain pot, poured a cup of water, and handed it to Zhuo Qing, then slowly took the second water cup. Cheng Hang couldn't wait, directly holding the porcelain pot, pouring water for her, anxiously: "Is he a problem?"

"Yes." Seeing that he was so diligent, Gu Yun didn't hang his appetite.

"Is he the murderer?" Cheng Hang's eyes lit up, and Lv Jin was also stunned, staring at Gu Yun. Did something happen today? Why didn't they see any problems?

Gu Yun shook her head generously: "Don't know." She just said Su Mufeng had a problem, but didn't say he was the murderer!

Cheng Hang and Lv Jin looked at each other, looking at each other, not what she said Su Mufeng had a problem!?

They were a bit blindly worshiping Yun, Zhuo Qing laughed, and asked: "What problem does he have?"

Drinking the water in the cup, Gu Yun handed the empty cup to Cheng Hang, who was still holding the porcelain pot, and shrugged, smiling: "His attitude toward women is very strange, and that aunt of his is also very strange!"

Just like this? While pouring water for her, Cheng Hang smiled unceremoniously: "He is a modest gentleman, and naturally he should keep a distance from women who suddenly 'throw themselves into his arms'." Was she too much just now? Although Su Mufeng was indeed elegant and extraordinary, his temperament was quiet, she didn't need to be so anxious! Besides, she was also Su Ling's person. By comparison, Su Ling's cold and unruly masculine spirit was more attractive than Su Mufeng's, really don't know what women think!?

Gu Yun gave Cheng Hang a white look with cold eyes and asked in a deep voice: "It's understandable that he showed politeness, alienation, awkwardness, or even disgust, but why would he be panicked? Isn't this strange?"

Panic, was it that serious? He really didn't see it, Cheng Hang tried hard to recall Su Mufeng's expression at that time, while Lv Jin asked directly: "What can his panic explain?"

Gu Yun smiled noncommittally: "Don't know." Panic could only explain one kind of emotion, and it indeed couldn't explain anything.

Looking at Zhuo Qing, only to see her holding the cup to her lips without drinking, her brows furrowed, not knowing what she was thinking. Gu Yun asked in a low voice: "Did you think of something?"

Slowly putting down the cup, Zhuo Qing replied: "I remember, the day Xiwu was attacked, she also had physical contact with Su Mufeng like this, and something happened that night."

Originally she didn't pay attention, but just now when Gu Yun mentioned physical contact, she also felt that Su Mufeng's reaction to other people's touch was a bit excessive, especially women!

Just as Zhuo Qing's words fell, Cheng Hang stood up immediately, leaving a sentence "I'll check!", and his figure had already flashed out of the door.

Gu Yun raised her lips, this person, although a bit anxious, his action and desire for knowledge were very worthy of affirmation!

Zhuo Qing had a face of frost, hummed coldly: "If the murderer is him, then blood phobia is his performance in front of me!"

Patting Zhuo Qing's shoulder, which was tense because of anger, Gu Yun comforted: "It's not impossible. When mentioning the three victims, there was no trace of guilt, panic, or pride on his face, which is not the state a murderer should show. This only shows that either his acting skills are really high, or we guessed wrong!"

If they didn't guess wrong, then Su Mufeng would be a big challenge for them!

An hour later

It was completely dark, and there were several oil lamps lit in the study. Three people occupied one side, looking through the case files.

A lean figure rushed into the room like a whirlwind, holding a porcelain pot and water cup, drinking several cups in a row, before Cheng Hang could catch his breath. His legs were almost broken.

Lv Jin asked anxiously: "How is it?"

Wiping his sweat messily, Cheng Hang nodded happily while panting: "According to the personal maids of the three young ladies, they did see Su Mufeng the day before they were harmed, and there was more or less physical contact."

Sure enough!

Zhuo Qing snapped her fingers and said: "Su Mufeng's students only had these young ladies in danger, maybe it's because of this!"

Cheng Hang suddenly thought of something and called out in a low voice: "If it's really like this, his target tonight is—"

The three looked straight at Gu Yun, who was looking down at the case files. Only to see her raise her head slowly, her bright eyes raised, and she smiled excitedly: "Me!"
