Chapter 1075 Doubts
After Xiao Xixi and Yu Jiu said goodbye to the two constables, they successfully found the Yu family's old house after some inquiries.
It is called an old house, but after careful renovation and reconstruction, it has become brand new, and it would be more appropriate to call it a new house.
It is just a gate, but it is built in an exceptionally grand manner.
Yu Jiu took out the key and opened the copper lock hanging on the gate.
Push hard to open the heavy door.
The scene inside the house unfolded slowly before them like a scroll.
Yu Jiu stood at the door, staring blankly at the Yu residence in front of him. After a long time, he raised his foot and stepped over the high threshold.
He walked and looked.
Everything around him seemed both familiar and strange to him.
Finally he stopped at the door of a bedroom.
The door was locked.
Yu Jiu tried the keys one by one and finally opened the door.
Xiao Xixi leaned in to take a look.
Judging from the furnishings in the room, this should be the bedroom of a young couple.
I guess this must be the room where Miss Yu and her husband live.
It is also the place where Miss Yu was murdered.
The house was built in imitation of the old Yu family house. Both the structure and the furnishings inside the house were exactly the same as before the old house was burned down.
Anyone who could restore the house to this state must be someone who is very familiar with it.
Yu Jiu stood in the middle of the room and looked around.
Since Uncle Jiang often comes here to clean, it is still clean even though no one lives here.
But because it is too clean, this place seems too deserted and devoid of worldly atmosphere.
Yu Jiu stayed in this room for a long time.
When he came out, it was already getting dark.
Xiao Xixi was sitting on the steps eating a pomelo. When she saw Yu Jiu coming out, she immediately stuffed the last piece of pomelo in her hand into her mouth.
Because I ate too fast, my cheeks were puffed up.
Yu Jiu was speechless after seeing this.
"I won't compete with you, why are you like this?"
Xiao Xixi chewed quickly and said vaguely: "I'm just prepared. As long as I eat fast enough, no one can snatch the food from me."
Yu Jiu looked at the pile of grapefruit peels next to her and asked.
"Where did you get the grapefruit?"
Xiao Xixi pointed to the pomelo tree next to her: "I picked them there."
Yu Jiu looked in the direction of the situation and saw that there were many heavy grapefruits hanging on the branches, and the branches were bent by the weight.
He was too young when he left the Yu family and he didn't even remember whether the Yu family had planted any pomelo trees.
He stared at the two pomelo trees in a daze, wondering whether his parents and family would also pick pomelo in the winter, sit by the fire, peel them and eat them slowly.
Yu Jiu asked suddenly.
"Is the grapefruit sweet?"
Xiao Xixi smacked her lips and spoke as she savored the taste.
"It's pretty sweet."
She thought Yu Jiu was also greedy, so she encouraged him.
"If you want to eat them, go pick a few more."
Yu Jiu saw through her thoughts at a glance and sneered, "You only know how to eat. Get up, we have other things to do."
Xiao Xixi stood up, patted the dust off her skirt, and asked.
"What are we going to do?"
Yu Jiu: "Go find Jiang Chengcai and ask him something."
The reason why he let Jiang Chengcai go was not out of kindness, but because he wanted to personally find out the truth behind the extermination of the Yu family.
Although everyone said that the Yu family was killed by the young master of the county magistrate's family, Yu Jiu felt that there were still many doubts.
For example, why did the young master happen to think of Miss Yu when he was drunk?
How did he break into Miss Yu's room without alerting anyone else?
Also, where were the Yu family’s servants when the three members of the Yu family were killed?
And how did Yu Jiu, who was only one year old, leave the Yu family?
There is currently no reasonable explanation for these questions.
Yu Jiu wanted to find out all these issues clearly.
Jiang Chengcai's performance today gave him some clues. Perhaps he could find the answers he wanted from Jiang Chengcai.
When Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi walked out of Yu's house, Yu Jiu suddenly stopped and looked to the right.
Xiao Xixi took two steps, and when she saw that she hadn't caught up with him, she immediately turned around to look at him.
"Why don't you leave?"
Yu Jiu: "It seemed like someone was watching us just now."
Xiao Xixi followed his gaze and saw no suspicious people on the street except for a few pedestrians.
Xiao Xixi: "Are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"
This feeling was so erratic that Yu Jiu himself couldn't be sure whether his feeling was correct.
He looked at the street on the right for a while, but couldn't see any clues, so he gave up.
"Forget it, forget about it. Maybe I am hallucinating. Let's go first."
Yu Jiu caught up with Xiao Xixi, and the two walked towards the direction of the Jiang family.
This time they did not go through the main gate, but climbed over the wall and sneaked into the Jiang family under the cover of night.
The population of the Jiang family is very simple. Apart from Uncle Jiang, there are only Jiang Chengcai and his wife, and Jiang Chengcai's two children.
Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi first stayed in the dark for a while to figure out the internal layout of the Jiang family. When everyone in the Jiang family fell asleep, they went straight to the room where Jiang Chengcai was.
Jiang Chengcai drank a little wine tonight and fell into a deep sleep on the bed. His snoring was so loud that it could be heard from far away.
His wife has become accustomed to this and it does not affect her sleep quality at all, and she always sleeps soundly.
The couple didn't notice at all that the door was quietly pushed open.
Yu Jiu walked into the room silently, raised his hand and threw out two silver needles.
Silver needles were inserted into the bodies of Jiang Chengcai and his wife respectively.
The two of them immediately fell into a coma and lost consciousness completely.
Yu Jiu dragged Jiang Chengcai up and threw him to the ground like garbage.
He picked up the teapot on the table and poured the full pot of cold tea on Jiang Chengcai's face.
Jiang Chengcai was immediately stimulated and woke up.
He opened his eyes and saw Yu Jiu and Xiao Xixi standing in front of him. He was stunned at first, then he was shocked.
"Why are you here? What do you want to do?"
Yu Jiu pulled out a sharp dagger from his sleeve.
The blade shone with a cold light in the night.
"I want to ask you a few questions. If you can cooperate honestly, we will leave after we finish asking the questions. But if you dare to lie, I will use this knife to cut off your fingers one by one."
Jiang Chengcai was just an ordinary gangster who was best at bullying the weak and fearing the strong. How could he have ever seen such a powerful scene?
He was so frightened that he was shaking all over and almost lost control of his bladder.
He wanted to get up and run away, but he found that his body was as heavy as if it were filled with iron. No matter how hard he tried, he could not move at all.
At this moment, the only parts of his body that could move were his eyes and his lips.
He suddenly became even more scared.
Jiang Chengcai opened his mouth to call for someone to save him, but before he could say anything, Yu Jiu put a dagger to his throat.
