I am in the horror game, scrambling to steal the male lead's halo

Chapter 346: The Brother and Sister Who Pretended to Beggars

"You really don't understand, Mr. Luo?"

Gu Chaoxi was not in a hurry. He looked at Luo Yu who was still kneeling on the ground with a smile on his face: "Where were you when Madam Zhao died?"

You don't need to finish what you want to say. Just say a little bit and smart people will know what you want to express.

Just like now, although Luo Yu is still kneeling on the ground, he is obviously not as relaxed as before.

Gu Chaoxi noticed that when he was kneeling just now, his shoulders were in a relatively relaxed state.

But because of what they just said, his shoulders were subconsciously raised and looked flatter.

And the hands that were put together were not fully exerted before.

But look at it now?

Gu Chaoxi narrowed his eyes, and a smile was about to overflow.

It seems that Qin Yi did not lie to them, and what he said was basically true, but there must be some small discrepancies.

This slight discrepancy depends on whether Luo Yu is willing to tell the truth.

Pei Yan also lowered his eyes and looked at him.

This side hall has only one main entrance, which means that anyone who enters the side hall can only go out through this door.

But now Pei Yan is guarding this door, so if Luo Yu wants to force his way out, he can stop him.

That would be a tantamount admission of his identity as the murderer. He shouldn't be so stupid.

After a while, the person kneeling on the ground slowly spoke.

"Mrs. Zhao had an accident, which is indeed very sad, but you can't think that it was me, right?"

He bit his cheek, looking a little forbearing.

Gu Chaoxi moved his feet and changed to a more comfortable standing position.

"You're right. Madam Zhao is dead, but we can't blame her for that."

"But someone saw you throwing Madam Zhao into the well, so do you have anything to say?"

When Gu Chaoxi said "Someone saw it", he obviously bit his back teeth, and his eyes were sharper than before.

However, I don't think it will cause any waves, otherwise he wouldn't have endured until now and given out some clues that would expose himself.

"Whoever saw it must be talking nonsense!"

"Mrs. Zhao and I have no grudges against each other, why would I want to hurt her?"

He spoke loudly, as if to give himself courage.

However, Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan were not so easily fooled by him.

"I think you know why you want to harm Madam Zhao. As for the reason, you can tell me if you want to. If you don't want to, we can find another way."

Luo Yu suddenly stood up from the ground. He really couldn't bear it that these two people who were not very familiar with him pointed out that he was the murderer.

But after standing up and seeing Pei Yan's cold eyes, Luo Yu became timid again.

He knew that Pei Yan was the son of the Junior Secretary of the Dali Temple. If he went against Pei Yan, he would suffer no good consequences now or in the future.

"Since you already know it's me, just arrest me."

He closed his eyes and stood still as if he had accepted his fate.

Pei Yan just said softly: "We are not arresting you now, but you need to tell me why you treat Madam Zhao like this?"

Luo Yu suddenly relaxed, and his body, which had been standing straight, suddenly bent down.

I don’t know what he was thinking about, but he suddenly fell down and sat on the cushion where he had just been kneeling.

Gu Chaoxi and Pei Yan did not urge him. Now that he was in this state, it was obvious that he would not make any fearless struggles.

Gu Chaoxi simply sat down on another cushion next to him.

She bent her legs, put her arms on her knees as if she was hugging her legs, rested her chin on her arms, and looked sideways at Luo Yu, who looked a little dazed.

Seeing her being so lazy, Pei Yan shook his head helplessly and sat down beside her.

After a while, Luo Yu came out of his thoughts and looked at the two people sitting beside him.

"In that case, how about I tell you two a story?"

This story goes back a long time ago.

At first, in Luo Yu's cognition, he and his sister Luo Zhi were the unpopular illegitimate children, so they could only live in the most remote courtyard and even had few servants.

Even though the food was usually very bad, at least the two of them still had something to eat.

After all, they are children of the Luo family. Even if the mistress of the house dislikes them very much, she will not do anything to them.

However, everything changed after the two of them sneaked out and met Mrs. Zhao.

That day, Luo Zhi was so hungry that he had no other choice, so Luo Yu thought of climbing over the low wall of their side yard to beg for some food.

They had done something like this before, and in order to avoid being recognized, they always dressed themselves up like little beggars.

As long as I came back from outside at mealtime and the servants at home didn't know I had sneaked out, nothing would happen.

But I happened to meet Mrs. Zhao that day.

For many days afterwards, Luo Yu kept wondering, if he had not met Mrs. Zhao at that time, would everything still be the same as at the beginning?

Back to the topic, Luo Yu went out first that day and took Luo Zhi to the place he usually went to.

Unfortunately, the weather was not good. Not long after they went out, it started to rain heavily.

The two of them didn't bring an umbrella with them, so they had to go to the nearest dilapidated temple to shelter from the rain.

At that time, there were already quite a few beggars in the dilapidated temple.

They had seen Luo Yu and Luo Zhi many times before, so they treated the two children as their own and asked them to move inside to avoid getting wet in the rain.

Luo Yu was still very grateful to them, and took Luo Zhi to the inside.

However, they had only been there for a short time when they heard that soldiers had come to drive them away and would not allow them to stay there.

That person's statement was high-sounding, but he was just taking this opportunity to deliberately make trouble for them.

Although those beggars usually live a hard life, they cannot stand such humiliation.

So some people inside began to resist and refused to listen to the officers and soldiers and insisted on staying inside.

The result was predictable. With blood all over the floor, no one spoke a word.

Even if they have more people, they are no match for the other side who have weapons in their hands.

So everyone went out of the dilapidated temple one after another, and Luo Yu also followed Luo Zhi out behind the crowd.

They didn't want to be recognized, although probably only a few officers and soldiers knew them.

After coming out, they saw that the person who brought the soldiers was their eldest brother.

This made them almost unable to believe it, as their eldest brother had always been praised at home as a man as beautiful as jade.

How could he be so arrogant and domineering when he was outside?

At that time, Luo Zhi pulled Luo Yu's sleeve and asked him if that was his older brother.

Luo Yu didn't know how to answer and ended up not saying anything.
