"Watch out!"
"Watch out!"
Seeing the parasite fly toward Chu Song's palm, the people in the room warned him. Ying Feiyang was about to draw his sword out of instinct, but he touched nothing at his waist. Only then did he remember that he was Young Master Peacock.
"It's okay. Don't scare it." Chu Song placed one hand by his lips to comfort the people who were about to attack. His other hand was still straight and opened, allowing the parasite to enter his palm bit by bit.
Seeing the parasite enter Chu Song's flesh, Qin Feng looked disgusted and said, "What are you doing? Aren't you afraid that old monster Gu Xuanren will take over your body?"
Chu Song explained, "It's okay. I just said that this parasite has been in a state of suspended animation for many years, which proves that Gu Xuanren's consciousness has long been removed. Only an 'empty shell' is left. Now that Iron Mountain … the original host is dead, the parasite won't live long without a new host. Just keep it with me for now."
Qin Feng looked at the unconscious Han Fu and said angrily, "This is a harmful parasite. If it's dead, then it's dead!"
Chu Song looked around at the people and said with a serious expression, "This is the second thing I want to talk about. Between the time I went to the library to look for clues and before I returned to this room, someone touched the corpse."
Ying Feiyang's heart shook when he heard this, and he asked, "How did you know?"
Chu Song tilted his head and did not answer immediately. Zhao Ya frowned and said, "Why are you still throwing a tantrum at a time like this? Tell me if you find anything."
Chu Song then said, "The clues pointed to the Encyclopedic Insect Encyclopedia. I needed to go to the library to look for the book, but I made extra preparations before I left. I left three types of herbs on the corpse, but when I returned, I found that two of them had been removed."
Zhao Ya's eyes lit up and said, "Can you find out who removed it?"
Chu Song shook his head and said, "I left behind the Green Beetle Lure, the Beautiful Silk Fragrance, and the House of Red Sleeves. The first two are in the open to leave a scent on the person who comes into contact with them, but their true purpose is to suppress the effects of the House of Red Sleeves. After removing the Beautiful Silk Fragrance and the Green Beetle Lure, the effects of the House of Red Sleeves will be silently revealed. It was colorless and odorless, but once approached, it would leave an unconcealable red mark on the nail. This is the real trap that I set up. Unfortunately, it was still seen through. The other party didn't take the bait … Since ancient times, medicine, poison, medicine, and venomous insects are inseparable. Since he was able to see through my technique, he must be Gu Xuanming's host body. "
Zhao Ya said, "What about the demons guarding the room? Did they notice anyone touching the corpse?"
Chu Song replied, "I've asked the sisters guarding the manor, but at that time, the manor was chasing after Brother Ying, causing a huge commotion. The Green Beetle Lure and the Beautiful Silk Fragrance aren't hard to deal with. With Gu Xuanming's ability, he could totally use the wind as a medium to break them without anyone knowing. The real difficulty is the House of Red Sleeves. Gu Xuanming was very cautious, probably because he had limited time and had to be careful not to be discovered. He wasn't confident that he could break the House of Red Sleeves under such circumstances, so he would rather retreat than leave any traces. "
Zhao Ya said, "But he still left some traces, at least it can help us narrow down the scope of suspicion. Also, his intention is that Tie Shan doesn't have anything valuable on him other than this parasite. Gu Xuanming wants to take back the parasite?"
Chu Song nodded and said, "I guessed so too. Gu Xuanming didn't hesitate to take back the parasite even at the risk of being exposed. This parasite must have an extraordinary meaning, so I decided to keep it."
Ying Feiyang frowned and said, "But if that's the case, there was plenty of time for the shady toad to take out the bug after it killed Tie Shan and before Tie Shan was found dead. Why didn't it take any action at that time, but took the risk after that?"
Zhao Ya said, "This is indeed a question. Maybe something else happened on the night Tie Shan died that we don't know, but at least we have a direction to investigate. At that time, most of the demons in the manor were chasing after Ying Feiyang, so they teamed up to prove each other. In this way, most of them can be eliminated as suspects. The remaining ones are guarding this room and the sisters who didn't participate in the chase. "
Qin Feng stroked his hair and sighed, "Sister Ya, you're really fair and just. The scope has been narrowed down, but why do I feel like we're more suspicious? There aren't many who didn't participate in the chase. There are three in this room, one for you, one for me, and one for Han Fu. Let me say this first, you can just drag yourself into this. I'm innocent, so please don't suspect me. "
"Ha, with me here, I can't be innocent." Ying Feiyang chuckled and ordered, "Zhao Ya, Qin Feng, the two of you act together. Search the entire manor according to what I said just now, and give me a list of those who are still suspicious."
"Yes!" The two girls accepted the order with solemn expressions and left together. Then, the room returned to silence.
Chu Song took the time to examine the unconscious Han Fu. He examined her condition, but he did not look at Ying Feiyang.
"Are you angry at me?" Seeing that Chu Song did not speak, Ying Feiyang could only speak first. Ever since he entered the room, he could feel that Chu Song had been treating him coldly. And the reason was even clearer to him in his heart.
It was because Gongzi Ling had "killed" Ying Feiyang in front of Chu Song, causing Chu Song to be angry at Gongzi Ling. But she did not know that it was just a show from beginning to end. Ying Feiyang, who was killed by Gongzi Ling, was right in front of her, and he appeared as Gongzi Ling.
In the end, it was equivalent to Ying Feiyang bearing Chu Song's anger because of his own death. He did not know whether he deserved it or not.
Chu Song said indifferently, "How would Chu Song dare to be angry at Young Master Peacock? I'm just a little tired. I have something to tell you in advance. I'm preparing to leave the manor."
"Oh, where are you going?"
"To go to my father's place. Father never liked me staying in Jinping Manor. Now that I think about it, I should have listened to him earlier and stayed by his side to fulfill my filial duties. I probably won't return to the manor." Chu Song's tone was still calm, but his eyes were slightly red.
They had been together for many years, so how could he easily give up? When Ying Feiyang saw that Chu Song was going to break ties with Gongzi Ling because of him, he felt touched and guilty. He wanted to immediately tear off his mask and reveal his identity, but for the follow-up plan, he endured it. He only said, "I've said that the female demons of the manor are born free. You can go or stay as you please and do not need me to decide. But now, you have the parasite that the old toad covets. If you leave now, you'll be inviting danger for no reason. "
"I don't need you to teach me. Chu Song knows what's important and what's not. I said I'm leaving, but I don't mean to leave now. Gu Xuanzheng is causing trouble in the manor, so I can't leave my sisters behind. If you have any instructions, just tell me. Before this matter is over, Chu Song will be at your disposal. It's … repayment for all the years of care." Chu Song pretended to be strong, but in the end, his voice could not stop trembling, revealing his true emotions.
Ying Feiyang sighed in relief. He knew that Chu Song looked timid but was actually extremely stubborn. If she really wanted to leave now, it would be extremely troublesome. Fortunately, Chu Song was angry and disappointed, but she did not lose her rationality. After this matter was over, there would still be a chance to explain the misunderstanding to her.
"That's good. We can't do without you to deal with Gu Xuanzheng." Ying Feiyang relaxed slightly and said, "You used three medicines to conceal the truth and the false to capture the old toad's tracks. In the past, I always said you were simple, but I didn't notice that you've grown so much. If you can always be as meticulous as you are today, I won't have to worry even if you leave the manor."
Ying Feiyang had been praising her casually to reduce his guilt towards Chu Song, but when he said this, Chu Song's long eyelashes trembled unconsciously.
"Hmm? Wasn't it your idea? Who gave you advice? "Ying Feiyang sensed and asked.
Chu Song hesitated and looked at Ying Feiyang for the first time. "I'm sorry to disappoint you. Someone did give me advice, so I paid more attention. But the person who gave me advice has already been killed by you."
"He is Big Brother Ying Feiyang." Chu Song looked at him. The candlelight flickered, and her black eyes flickered.
