Chapter 609 How did you associate her with this?
"What is the relationship between the young master and that shadow?"
The eldest young master is the only one living in this yard, and there is no one else here at this late hour.
"Know him? An accomplice? Or, is he the mastermind?"
Gu Chaoxi put forward a series of conjectures, and Pei Yan frowned when he heard them.
If he is the mastermind, it seems that the young master is not that kind of person.
His feelings for Ji Ze may not be that deep, but he wouldn't go so far as to play tricks and do something harmful to the mansion, right?
After all, he is the eldest son, and he has deep feelings for the General's Mansion.
"It looks more like a cover-up." Shen Yao said, looking at Gu Chaoxi.
Obviously, she thought so just now. After Shen Yao said this, the two looked at each other and snapped their fingers.
That’s right, that weird feeling just now was a cover-up.
It was basically confirmed that the outstretched hand belonged to the eldest young master, and the black shadow only stepped in after the hand waved.
It seemed that it wanted to find the young master at first, but was very hesitant. In the end, when it saw that the other party was very determined, it chose to believe him.
"Fifth sister?" Gu Chaoxi murmured.
Pei Yan had already walked towards the wall next to the eldest young master's yard, wanting to climb up the wall to see what was going on inside.
Gu Chaoxi was stunned for a moment, then immediately took a step forward and followed.
The three of them skillfully coordinated with each other and climbed up to the top of the wall and lay down.
With the bright moonlight, I could see that there was nothing in the yard and the lights in the house were off.
Don't these two people need to turn on the lights when they enter the house? Or is there a secret hidden in the young master's house, or other secret rooms that can be hidden from outsiders?
Thinking of the possibility he just thought of, Gu Chaoxi turned to look at Pei Yan.
"Tell me, is it possible that the ghost is the Fifth Miss?"
"That weak and frail one?" Shen Yao was somewhat surprised: "How did you associate her with that?"
It’s not really an association, but sometimes, the person you think is the most unlikely may be the most likely one.
After all, there is a saying in the detective world that when you have eliminated all possibilities, no matter how unreasonable the remaining one is, it is still possible.
First of all, we have to rule out her and Pei Yan. Since the two of them can become one of the protagonists, they are no longer likely to be the murderer.
Moreover, the fact that both of them are standing here now is the best way to eliminate the problem.
Then the ones left were the eldest young master, the fourth young master who was described as a waste, and then the fifth young lady.
Everyone just saw the young master, so we can rule out the possibility that he is a ghost.
The fourth young master is related to the fourth concubine.
and many more.
Thinking of this, Gu Chaoxi's face suddenly darkened.
The fourth young master? Did he really have an emotional connection with the fourth concubine? After all, from the fourth concubine's own oral account and records, there was never any mention of the fourth young master.
So what was the reason for what they saw at that time?
"Is the Fourth Young Master really such a coward?" After the Fourth Concubine passed away, there was no news that the Fourth Young Master did anything out of line, not even that he was mourning.
What if he was also one of the masterminds of this incident?
But it seems that there is no special connection between the fourth young master and the eldest young master. They look like brothers who don't have a very close relationship.
Gu Chaoxi just felt a little headache and was very irritable.
"Hey, there is light." Pei Yan raised his finger and pointed, and a little light came on in the corner of the room.
The light was not strong, but faint, as if it would go out in the next moment.
Shen Yao stared at the corner for a while, then leaned towards Pei Yan and asked, "Candles?"
But to be honest, he really wanted to get down now. It was not comfortable to lie on the wall and his arms were very tired.
Gu Chaoxi took two glances, then slowly descended a little. As soon as he let go of his hands, he landed on the ground and squatted on the ground using the force.
He rubbed his knees twice and stood up from the ground.
He looked up at the two people still lying on the wall, then raised his hand and tugged at Pei Yan's trouser leg.
"Ayan, someone is coming."
The faint footsteps they had just heard were becoming more and more obvious. If they didn't leave, the man might see them when he turned around.
As soon as these words were spoken, Shen Yao and Pei Yan jumped down from the wall one after another, and the three of them quickly went to the other side.
Just before turning the corner, someone came towards me from the other side.
The man walked very quickly and was wearing a cloak.
Unlike the black shadow, this man's cloak was white, and he raised one hand to grab the brim of his hat, as if he didn't want to be seen.
Because of the distance and the man's wide sleeves, I could only see his slender fingers, and it was difficult to make out anything else.
The man looked around, then covered his body with his cloak, slowly walked to the eldest young master's door, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
The people inside were startled by the sound, and the light in the corner of the room suddenly went out.
Everything seemed to be calm.
However, the person standing at the door did not give up knocking. Instead, after a while, he raised his hand again and knocked on the door twice.
Gu Chaoxi listened attentively, this seemed to be some kind of signal.
Soon, footsteps were heard in the yard, and the yard door that was originally closed was later opened from the inside.
It was still the wrist with the gray cuff. After opening the door, he raised his hand and pressed it on the side of the door panel, then moved sideways to let the person at the door walk in.
Neither the person outside nor the person inside the door spoke, they just looked at each other.
The three of them were already at the corner, and it was dark over there. Even though there was moonlight, they couldn't see clearly.
I only saw the man raise his hand and press the eldest young master's arm, then follow him inside.
The yard door closed again, and the three people hiding in the corner finally relaxed.
"Who is this again? This young master seems to be no ordinary person."
Things are not peaceful at all in Ji Ze's house, as everyone has their own secrets.
Gu Chaoxi raised his hand to pat the dust on his sleeves, and put his hands in his pockets: "What do you mean? Should we go back to sleep now, or break in and take a look?"
"Break in?" Shen Yao widened his eyes.
Do you want to listen to what Gu Chaoxi is saying or break in?
Let’s not talk about who the person was that the young master just brought in, let’s just talk about that black shadow.
The black shadow's current location in the plane is a ghost in the general's mansion. If they break in, they will anger the manor.
According to the nature of the plane, it should be possible to directly turn the black shadow into a ghost and get rid of them all, right?
Moreover, they still haven't figured out who this black shadow is and what his purpose is.
What is the relationship with Ji Ze?
"Chaoxi, we can't be impulsive." Shen Yao said embarrassedly. She must not act rashly.
