Chapter 17 Seventeen exogenous branches

Although there were two suicide notes, the content was exactly the same, just as Cui Beihai said.Of course Chang Huhua was familiar with Cui Beihai's handwriting, Gao Tianlu was no stranger to it, and there was no problem with the seal on the suicide note.Undoubtedly, it was Cui Beihai's suicide note.Gao Tianlu's eyes fell on the suicide note one after another, and said: Speaking of the suicide note, it is really strange.Chang Huhua said: Where is the strangeness?Gao Tianlu said: A list of all his property is attached to these two suicide notes.Chang Huhua said: Are you surprised that he has so much property?Gao Tianlu shook his head and said: I am surprised by two things.Chang Huhua said: Which two?Gao Tianlu said: The first thing is that he didn't even leave half of his property to his wife Yi Zhujun.Chang Huhua said: Since he believed that Yi Zhujun and Guo Pu were goblins and conspired to kill him, it is not difficult to understand.Gao Tianlu said: "It's too much not to keep half a point. It's just speculation after all, and it can't be confirmed."Chang Huhua said: "What's the second thing?"Gao Tianlu said: These heirs he chose.Chang Huhua fell silent.

Gao Tianlu continued: Long Yubo, Ruan Jianping, and Zhu Xia didn't know about the existence of these three people before I read the will, and he never mentioned these three people in front of me, so it can be seen that these three people , and his relationship is not very close, but he bequeathed a huge property to these three people to share equally.Chang Huhua said: I know you are very good friends.Gao Tianlu said: I have known him for almost four years.Chang Huhua said: In the past four years, did Brother Gao hear him mention me.Gao Tianlu said without hesitation: No.He then asked again: How many years have you known Yi?Chang Huhua said: Even if there are not twenty years, there should be eighteen or nineteen years.He seemed to be deeply moved, sighed lightly, and then continued: When we met, we were still children.Gao Tianlu said: With so many years of friendship, I believe you must be very good friends.Chang Huhua said: "Originally it is."

Gao Tianlu said: "Before Cui Beihai disappeared, he also mentioned to Du Tutou that you would come, and he seemed to have said that he and you are very good friends.Chang Huhua said: It seems that such a friend, he never mentioned it to you, isn't it strange?Gao Tianlu nodded.Chang Huhua said: Actually, it's not surprising at all.Gao Tianlu said: Oh?Chang Huhua said: Because three years ago, we were no longer friends.Gao Tianlu said: But Chang Huhua turned around: Even so, when he is in trouble, unless I don't know, I will definitely come, and he also knows that I will definitely come.Gao Tianlu said: "Why?"Chang Huhua said: Because he knows that I am definitely not an ungrateful person.Gao Tianlu said: "Is he kind to you?"Chang Huhua said: the grace of saving lives.He paused and continued: Even without this kind of relationship, as long as we were friends and knew that his life was in danger, I would never stand by and watch, unless he was the one who was at fault, and the fault was really unforgivable.Gao Tianlu said: I know you are a righteous swordsman.He looked into Chang Huhua's eyes, and tentatively asked: Why did you turn against each other?

Chang Huhua said: I don't think there is any need to say anything about this matter.Gao Tianlu said: "Does it have anything to do with this case?"Chang Huhua said: I believe it doesn't matter.Gao Tianlu said: Needless to say, I don't like to listen to other people's privacy.Chang Huhua said: I also don't like exposing other people's privacy.Gao Tianlu said: each other.He smiled, and then asked: Are Long Yubo, Ruan Jianping, and Zhu Xia also friends of Cui Beihai?Chang Huhua said: No, so it's not a strange thing that he never mentioned these three people in front of you.Gao Tianlu asked again: What kind of relationship do they have with Cui Beihai?Chang Huhua said: Cui Beihai has absolutely no relationship with them.Gao Tianlu was surprised: But why did Cui Beihai leave such a huge fortune to them?Chang Huhua fell silent.

Gao Tianlu asked: You don't know either?Chang Huhua suddenly sighed and said: I know.Gao Tianlu said: "Why?"Chang Huhua said: He did this to atone for his sin.Gao Tianlu said: "So, he has done something wrong to those three people.Chang Huhua is the default.Gao Tianlu then asked: "What is it?"Chang Huhua said: This matter has nothing to do with his death.Gao Tianlu said: So you don't intend to say it.Chang Huhua nodded.Gao Tianlu murmured: With such a huge property to atone for the sin, the incident must be very serious.Chang Huhua is speechless.Gao Tianlu continued: They must hate Cui Beihai to the bone.Chang Huhua remained silent.Gao Tianlu suddenly asked: Did they never take revenge against Cui Beihai?Only then did Chang Huhua respond: As far as I know, there hasn't been any.Gao Tianlu said: "It must be because of Cui Beihai's strong martial arts, they have nothing to do with Cui Beihai, so Cui Beihai is left alone, but they always want to take revenge."Chang Huhua said: This is human nature.

Gao Tianlu said: Cui Beihai's death may have something to do with them.Chang Huhua shook her head and said: I believe not.Gao Tianlu said: "Why do you believe it?"Chang Huhua said: Because that matter itself is a secret.The three of them may not know the truth yet.Gao Tianlu said: "Perhaps, you are not sure yourself.Chang Huhua said: I am a mortal, not an omniscient celestial being.Gao Tianlu said: "The secret may not be a secret anymore."Chang Huhua said: Even so, the blood-sucking moth has absolutely nothing to do with their belief.Gao Tianlu said: Absolutely?Chang Huhua said: They want to kill Cui Beihai, there is no need to do this.Gao Tianlu said: "You mean, they all have the ability to kill Cui Beihai without resorting to heretical tricks?"Chang Huhua nodded and said: From my point of view, Ruan Jianping and Zhu Xia teamed up, and Cui Beihai is already hard to resist.Gao Tianlu said: "What about Long Yubo?"Chang Huhua said: Cui Beihai can be knocked down by one person.

Gao Tianlu said: Is this Long Yubo really so powerful?Chang Huhua didn't answer, but asked instead: Do you doubt my words?Gao Tianlu shook his head and said, "I'm just surprised. As far as I know, Cui Beihai is a master."Chang Huhua said: Long Yubo is a master among masters.Gao Tianlu said: "What?"I've never heard of this guy?Du Xiaotian also said: Me too.Chang Huhua said: Mr. Long San must have heard of it.Gao Tianlu's complexion changed immediately.Du Xiaotian was shocked, and said: "Jiangnan Longsanzi?"Chang Huhua said: Exactly.What is the relationship between Long Yubo and Long Sangong?Chang Huhua said: Long Yubo is the third son of Long!Du Xiaotian was stunned on the spot.Gao Tianlu interjected: It is said that the third son of the Long family is rich in the south of the Yangtze River, and his martial arts are also unique in the south of the Yangtze River.Chang Huhua said: This legend is a fact.Gao Tianlu said: It is said that he once defeated seven of the top ten masters in the south of the Yangtze River with his bare hands.Gao Tianlu said: Those two were defeated by his hands, probably in recent years.

Chang Huhua said: "Golden Whip Yuchi Xin was knocked down by him three years ago, and Du Boy's frustration happened last year."Gao Tianlu nodded and smiled when he heard that: I don't even know about these two things. It seems that I haven't asked about the world for three or four years.Chang Huhua said: This is a natural trend. On the contrary, if brother Gao is still in the arena, even if he doesn't ask, some people will say that he knows about it.Gao Tianlu said: "Nine times out of ten, among the top ten masters in the Jianghu, there is only one person who has not been defeated by him. If my memory is correct, this person should be the invincible horse alone."Chang Huhua said: Your memory is not wrong.Gao Tianlu said: I believe he will find Ma Duxing sooner or later.Chang Huhua said: He has already found it.Gao Tianlu said: Could it be that he died under Ma Duxing's swords?Chang Huhua said: He found Ma Duxing before defeating Yuchixin.Gao Tianlu said: Could it be that Ma Duxing didn't fight him?Chang Huhua said: Ma Duxing would not be able to fight him.Gao Tianlu said: "What's going on here?"Chang Huhua said: When he found Ma Duxing, Ma Duxing was already half dead.Gao Tianlu said: Oh?Chang Huhua said: Ma Duxing was sick in bed at that time.Gao Tianlu said: Are you seriously ill?Chang Huhua said: "It's very serious. It is said that shortly after Long Yubo left, he died of illness.

Gao Tianlu said: "Isn't Long Yubo really unique in Jiangnan martial arts?"Chang Huhuadao: If there are really only ten masters in Jiangnan martial arts, it should be.Gao Tianlu said: "How is Cui Beihai's martial arts compared to the so-called top ten masters in the south of the Yangtze River?"Chang Huhua said: It's half a catty.Gao Tianlu said: If this is true, Long Yubo's killing of Cui Beihai was indeed a breeze.Chang Huhua said: That's why I said that.Gao Tianlu said: "However, in the past two or three years, Cui Beihai may have practiced hard day and night, and his martial arts are no longer what they used to be.Chang Huhua said: This is very possible.Gao Tianlu said: "It's also possible that his martial arts have surpassed Long Yubo's."Chang Huhua said: Do you mean that Cui Beihai's martial arts might be so high that Long Yubo must use tricks to kill him?Gao Tianlu nodded.Chang Huhua said: I dare not say, this is impossible.Gao Tianlu said: Is that so?Long Yubo probably knew that you were Cui Beihai's good friend, and he was afraid that he would kill him to let you know that he would die by your sword easily, so he didn't dare to say so.Chang Huhua didn't make a sound.

Gao Tianlu continued: "As for Cui Beihai's property, he may not have time to take it away, or he has read Cui Beihai's suicide note, knowing that sooner or later the property will be in his own hands, so he didn't touch it.Chang Huhua said: Those two suicide notes were sealed with wax.Gao Tianlu said: The wax was newly sealed, but the two suicide notes were obviously not written at the same time.Chang Huhua said: I can see it.His eyes unconsciously fell on the two suicide notes.The content of the two suicide notes is the same, and the envelope and letter paper are also the same. However, judging from the handwriting, it can still be distinguished that they were not written at the same time, and there must be a period of time between them.Gao Tianlu said: Cui Beihai may have written a suicide note in early March, and Long Yubo may have peeked at the suicide note before it was sealed.Chang Huhua said: Long Yubo peeked at the suicide note, Guo Puyi and Zhu Jun can also peek at it.Gao Tianlu said: If those two suicide notes still exist, this is undoubtedly the best reason for Mr. Guo Puyi to kill Cui Beihai.Chang Huhua said: The two suicide notes were not destroyed.Gao Tianlu said: So Long Yubo's suspicion is no less serious than the two of them.Chang Huhua said: "There are also Zhu Xia and Ruan Jianping.Gao Tianlu said: Not bad.

Chang Huhua said: This way, even I have suspicions.Gao Tianlu was startled.Chang Huhua continued: "It's not very clear what's written in the suicide note. After Cui Beihai's death, all property will be distributed equally to Long Yubo, Zhu Xia, and Ruan Jianping. And no descendants, all property completely given to me?Gao Tianlu said: Cui Beihai wrote this in his suicide note, but nothing happened to Long Yubo, Zhu Xia, and Ruan Jianping.Chang Huhua said: How do you know?Gao Tianlu was startled again, and said: This is just speculation, I don't know.Chang Huhua said: You know that the three names Long Yubo, Zhu Xia, and Ruan Jianping are still happening tonight.Gao Tianlu nodded and said: I only know these three names.Chang Huhua said: So whether something happened to the three of them now, you can't be sure at all.Gao Tianlu only nodded. Chang Huhua slowly continued: "I hope that the three of them are completely safe and sound, otherwise my suspicion will be serious."Gao Tianlu murmured: "I also agreed with Du Tutou's reasoning just now, but now, I think I have to reconsider."Du Xiaotian replied: Your Excellency is worried about Cui Beihai's death, and is it related to Long Yubo, Ruan Jianping, and Zhu Xia?Gao Tianlu said: Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.Du Xiaotian said: Isn't the evidence that Yi Zhujun and Guo Pu committed crimes already sufficient?Gao Tianlu said: I'm worried because it's too full.Du Xiaotian understood and said: It is indeed too coincidental.Gao Tianlu said: So I suspect that there may be something strange in it.Yang Xun couldn't help but interjected: But what does your lord mean, how should we handle this case now?Gao Tianlu said: "First look for the three heirs of the inheritance, Long Yubo, Ruan Jianping, and Zhu Xia, and find out that they have nothing to do with Cui Beihai's death, and then make a decision."Yang Xun said: "In this way, I'm afraid it will take quite a while."Gao Tianlu sighed and said: There is no way to do this. He looked back at Chang Huhua and said: Brother Chang certainly knows the three of them.Chang Huhua said: "I happened to meet once, but it was someone else who pointed me out, so I knew who it was.Gao Tianlu said: All three?Chang Huhua said: All of them.Gao Tianlu said: "Well, you don't know each other.Chang Huhua nodded.Gao Tianlu said: "It doesn't matter, as long as Brother Chang knows where they live."Chang Hu Huadao: Although the detailed address is not clear, but they are all famous people, if you ask around, it is not difficult to find out.Gao Tianlu said: "Brother Chang will write it down for me later, and I will notify them of their arrival."Chang Huhua said: This is simple.Gao Tianlu then asked: Regarding this case, what else should Brother Chang need to add?Chang Huhua said: "No more." Gao Tianlu asked again: Brother Chang, what are you going to do now?Chang Huhua said: Stay here until the whole case comes to light.Gao Tianlu said: "Very good."He nodded and said: I don't think this case is simple, there are many points, and brother Chang's martial arts and wit should also be borrowed.Chang Huhua said: "Brother Gao speaks seriously."Gao Tianlu smiled and said: I have a lot of places here, how about Brother Chang staying here?Chang Huhua smiled and said: The mansion is heavily guarded, it is inconvenient to enter and exit, it is convenient for me to live outside.Gao Tianlu asked: "Where does Brother Chang plan to live?"Changhu Huadao: Jubaozhai.Gao Tianlu said: Oh?Chang Huhua said: I am going to search that place thoroughly again.Gao Tianlu said: Are you worried that today's search will miss something?Chang Huhua said: It is inevitable in a hurry.Gao Tianlu said: That's fine, if you find any clues, please let me know.Chang Huhua said: Of course.Gao Tianlu said: "If I need your help here, someone will go to Jubaozhai to find you."Chang Huhua said: It just so happens that I have something to go away, and I will leave the conversation to Cui Yi. Du Xiaotian interrupted immediately, and said: "One person may not take care of so many things. How about I ask Yao Kun to serve you?"Chang Huhua said: "How dare you."Gao Tianlu said: "It's a good idea to catch the head Du, brother Chang really needs someone around him."Chang Huhua said: "This Du Xiaotian said: Brother Chang, there is no need to refuse any more."Chang Huhua agreed with a smile, he is not a mother-in-law.Du Xiaotian said: I believe Yao Kun must be very happy to follow Brother Chang in and out.Chang Huhua said: "I can't afford to send and follow anything." Du Xiaotian said: "It should be fine to send Yao Kun to assist Brother Chang in the investigation."Chang Huhua said: This is the way to speak.He suddenly remembered something, and said: How are Guo Pu and Yi Zhujun doing now?Yang Xun hurriedly replied: The two of them have already been put in prison.Chang Huhua said: Prison?Yang Xun added: The prison is a place where repeat offenders are imprisoned, and it is heavily guarded. I specially sent two additional guards outside the door of the two of them. Gao Tianlu suddenly asked: Which two guards?Yang Xun said: Open your mouth, Hu Sanbei.Gao Tianlu said: "It's them again!"Yang Xun said: They are actually not bad.Gao Tianlu said: You mean drinking?Yang Xun nana said: They also worked hard on the knife Gao Tianlu said: "It's a pity that they can't even hold a knife when they drink alcohol."Yang Xun said: I have already ordered them not to drink alcohol.Gao Tianlu said: As far as I know, these two people have always been very forgetful.Yang Xun said: This time, I believe they will definitely keep it in mind.Gao Tianlu said: "It's the best."He shook his head and continued: Open your mouth wide and you will be drunk if you drink three cups. This is not the first time that the two of them have done bad things.Yang Xun murmured, "Gao Tianlu cut it off and said: I know they are your good friends, but business is public and private is private, how can public and private be indistinguishable?"Yang Xun said: But the prison is nothing more than an iron wall, even if the two of them get drunk again, it won't have much impact.Gao Tianlu said: "It's not like that."Yang Xun said: Don't worry, my lord, they are locked in the prison, even if Guo Pu and Yi Zhujun have two wings, it is difficult to fly out!Gao Tianlu said: "If you become two moths, you can fly out."When these words came out, even he himself could not help but shudder.Yang Xun's expression changed on the spot.Chang Huhua and Du Xiaotian also looked ugly.At such a late night, Gao Tianlu's words sounded particularly terrifying. There was an unspeakable silence.Du Xiaotian broke the dead silence and said: My lord, do you also think that the two of them may be the incarnations of two moth spirits?Gao Tianlu sighed: "Whether it is true or not, at present, who can be sure?"No one is sure.Gao Tianlu sighed and continued: "It's better to believe in something than in nothing. It's okay for us to regard the two of them as the incarnation of two moth spirits before the matter is answered."Du Xiaotian and Yang Xun nodded together.Chang Huhua didn't say anything.Gao Tianlu said again: So I am a little worried now.Du Xiaotian said: "What are you worried about, my lord?"Gao Tianlu shuddered again, and said: I am worried that they have turned back into two moths and flew out of the window.Du Xiaotian changed his face and said, "Your Excellency, what do you mean by going to prison now?"Gao Tianlu said: Exactly!Du Xiaotian said: I also have the same meaning.Gao Tianlu turned to Chang Huhua and said, "What do you think, Brother Chang?"Chang Huhua thought about it: It's good to go and have a look.Gao Tianlu said: Don't worry if you don't look at it.He was the first to step up.Chang Huhua also started involuntarily, walking beside Gao Tianlu. Of course Du Xiaotian was no exception, he was stopped by Yang Xun just as he stepped out.Du Xiaotian looked at Yang Xun in surprise.Yang Xun held Du Xiaotian's right arm without making a sound, with a strange expression on his face.Du Xiaotian was even more surprised. Just as he was about to ask, Yang Xun shook his head to signal him not to ask.Chang Huhua and Gao Tianlu didn't have eyes in the back of their heads, so they had no idea what was going on behind them.The two of them wanted to go to the prison as soon as possible to see what happened, but they knew that Du Xiaotian and Yang Xun would definitely follow, so they didn't turn around to say hello.It wasn't until the two of them turned into the corridor outside the hall that Yang Xun sneered.Du Xiaotian couldn't bear it any longer, and blurted out: "The chief arrester cut off his words immediately with a snort."Yang Xun immediately said: I think this title will have to be changed sooner or later.Du Xiaotian was surprised and said: "What does the phrase Zong arrest the head mean?"Yang Xun said: You don't understand?Du Xiaotian shook his head and said: I don't understand. Yang Xun said coldly: Yao Kun has been following you in and out?Du Xiaotian said: It has always been.Yang Xun said: "Is he your subordinate?"Du Xiaotian said: Yes.Yang Xun asked again: Who is your boss?Du Xiaotian said: "Of course it's the chief arrester."Yang Xun said: "Should you listen to my orders?"Du Xiaotian said: Yes.Yang Xun said: "What do you want to do, do you have to ask for my consent first?"Du Xiaotian said: Yes.Yang Xun said: Where is Yao Kun?Du Xiaotian said: It should be more.Yang Xun said: You just ordered him to wait on Chang Huhua to come and go, did you ask me first?Du Xiaotian said: "No."Yang Xun said: "It's also your confession."Du Xiaotian said: "I, Yang Xun, intercepted again: In your eyes, I, the head catcher, still exists?"Only then did Du Xiaotian understand what was going on, he sighed, and said: "The chief arrester is a misunderstanding."Yang Xun said: What did I misunderstand?Du Xiaotian said: At that time, I originally wanted to ask the chief arrester for instructions first, and then the chief arrester would assign him.Yang Xun said: "Why don't you come to ask for instructions."Du Xiaotian said: "Because I had to seize the opportunity at that time to put forward that opinion, it was too late to ask the head arrester for permission first." Yang Xun sneered and said: You give me an understanding first, how much time will it take?Du Xiaotian said: This is actually not a matter of time, but that I was unable to give you a clear understanding of the matter at that time.Yang Xun said: You did that for some ulterior motive?Du Xiaotian said: Exactly.He lowered his voice and said: I sent Yao Kun to wait around Chang Huhua, but the real purpose is not to assist Chang Huhua in the investigation.Yang Xun said: What is it?Du Xiaotian said: Monitor Chang Huhua's actions.Yang Xun was startled and said: Are you doubting him?Du Xiaotian said: I always feel that he has something to hide from us.Yang Xun said: It seems that you are more suspicious than me.Du Xiaotian said: "This is not a bad thing, even if it turns out that he has no problems at all, it will not cause any loss to us."Yang Xun nodded and said: This is not bad.He coughed dryly, stared at Du Xiaotian, and continued: If you encounter such a thing in the future, it may be best to notify me.Du Xiaotian secretly sighed in his heart, and said: Yes.Yang Xun said: "What are you waiting for, let's go!"As he raised his footsteps, he said: Otherwise, your lord would think that something happened to the two of us.Du Xiaotian was speechless. Yang Xun's expression changed suddenly, and he said: If something happens to your lord, it will be even worse for you and me.Du Xiaotian smiled wryly and said: You are worried that Chang Huhua will be detrimental to us adults.Yang Xun said: It goes without saying.Du Xiaotian shook his head and sighed: "If Chang Huhua really has that intention, you and I are by the side, and it's the same for him."Yang Xun said: Oh?Du Xiaotian said: With his martial arts, it is easier to deal with us than to eat cabbage.Yang Xun said: You have destroyed your prestige first.Du Xiaotian said: Facts are facts.Yang Xun also knew it was true, so he kept his mouth shut.Du Xiaotian still had something to say, and said: I only worry about one thing now.Yang Xun said: "What's the matter?"Du Xiaotian said: Open your mouth wide, Hu Sanbei and the two are safe.Yang Xun said: What?Du Xiaotian said: "If Yi Zhujun and Guo Pu are really two moth spirits, it's okay if they don't show up. Otherwise, if they open their mouths, Hu Sanbei and Hu Sanbei will be in danger."After saying this, Yang Xun immediately rushed out like a horse.At this time, the moon is in the middle of the sky, and the desolate moonlight illuminates the outside corridor.I don't know if it's because of the reflection of the moonlight that Yang Xun's complexion has also turned pale, as pale as a dead person.
