Chapter 209 Rumors
call!!
Seeing that her mother was finally willing to return, Lu Xingluo breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Xiaodie!"
Ding Xiaodie shook her head. "Second Young Master, I was indeed trying to persuade Madam not to go and see what happened, but the most important thing right now is not to let the villagers get any closer. Also, the security guard who was guarding Ah Mei last night must not be allowed to leave. Ah Mei died right under his nose, so he's the biggest suspect."
Lu Xingluo looked surprised: "How do you know so much?"
"Uh, how can I understand this? Isn't this a very logical idea?"
Ding Xiaodie's words made Lu Xingluo scratch his head. If being so organized was a natural thought, then he began to doubt whether he was very smart.
"Go quickly!"
Ding Xiaodie looked gentle and patted his shoulder.
Although she was a little girl, she had the confidence of an older sister. Lu Xingluo scratched her head again, a little confused: "Then you go home and rest first..."
"No, I'll go with you."
"Xiaodie, you... aren't you afraid?"
Although she had fought with her father and elder brother against the desert soldiers in Yangliu Town, Amei was different. She grew up at home since she was a child. The way she died shocked Lu Xingluo greatly.
Even now, his face was still pale.
Ding Xiaodie had no choice but to say, "I'm not afraid, Second Young Master. My secret is that I'm naturally brave and not afraid of these things at all. Look at those people in the village, none of them dare to get close. Even Brother Dabao vomited. So who else can help you except me?"
"But……"
Lu Xingluo was a little confused. He was about to collapse over such a thing, but he asked a little girl to do it. Wouldn't it be a laughing stock if it got out?
After all, he is a grown man.
I guess Xiaodie also sympathizes with the Lu family's situation, so she is eager to help.
Lu Xingluo's thoughts changed completely. He said firmly, "No, you have to go home quickly, immediately, and obey me."
Ding Xiaodie frowned: "..."
Why are you pretending to be such a man? Your face is so pale.
But okay, okay, she gave him some face.
"Then I'll go back. Remember, that security guard must be controlled first."
"Don't worry!"
Lu Xingluo watched him walk away, still feeling a little bit unbelievable. Although she didn't believe that he was so brave, the idea he said was indeed completely correct.
Lu Xingluo had already taken control of that security guard!
It was he who roared and woke up the whole village. When he saw Lu Xing falling behind, he confessed that he had fallen asleep and became like that when he woke up.
But can a person really sleep so soundly that he or she doesn't hear someone killing someone next to him or her?
Lu Xingluo didn't believe it at all, so he asked Uncle Jiu to personally guard the courtyard.
At this time, he hurried back to the hut and asked Dabao and Erbao to maintain order among the villagers and let them go home. Even if they did not stay in the house, they were not allowed to come to the hut to watch the fun.
As for Amei hanging on the window, Lu Xingluo took a brave security guard in, carefully observed the surroundings, and then let her down.
Ah Mei, who had just landed, made a sudden gurgling sound in her throat, probably due to the shift in gravity on her body, and then her tongue seemed to stretch out even longer.
The security guard was so frightened that he screamed and fell to the ground, backing away frantically.
Lu Xingluo was also startled. It was a very hot day and the sun was shining brightly outside the window, but he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hair seemed to stand on end.
"Don't be afraid, there are no ghosts in this world."
Lu Xingluo stepped forward and helped the guard up: "Go out first!"
The guard calmed down a bit now and straightened his back: "I'm fine, Second Young Master."
Lu Xingluo didn't force it anymore, but turned around and observed the rope around Amei's neck: "Have you ever seen this kind of rope before?"
The guard said, "Yes, I have. It seems that this Wuming Village planted flax before the disaster, so every household had this kind of hemp rope. They didn't take it with them when they fled."
Hemp ropes of this age are not common and cannot be made at home. Specialized farmers have to grow hemp, dry the leaves, knead them until they are soft, and then make them into hemp ropes and sell them at the market.
If you do it well, this business can support your family.
But precisely because of this, if every household has it, it would be even more difficult to find the murderer!
Because it was a homicide, Amei's body could only be placed in the house and the door was temporarily locked. Lu Xingluo wanted to send someone to report to the police. After all, Amei's death was different from the starvation death of ordinary people.
But at this moment, where are the officials?
He could only rack his brains and arrange for trustworthy people to question the villagers and then question the Lu family's security guards.
As for the guard who was locked up, he kept saying, "Second Young Master, I am innocent."
Just when Lu Xingluo was busy and overwhelmed, Zhang Xiu asked the children to look after the old lady, and she took the lead with Bai and Yang to visit and talk with each household, fearing that some family would be uneasy because of Amei's matter.
But where there are people, there are rumors, and a lie actually spread quietly in the village.
Zhang Xiu and her companions had just left a family home. As they turned the corner, they heard a few women from the village gossiping: "Did you see what happened? The little girl just rushed forward. She wasn't afraid at all. That's not normal at all."
"I saw it, I was there too!"
"I was so scared that my legs went weak. Tsk tsk, everyone in the village saw it. I didn't expect it to be so fierce. Xiaodie looked like she wasn't afraid of anything at the time. Is she a normal girl? She must have been possessed!"
"that is"
Bai and Yang could tell that they were talking about Xiaodie. Less than an hour after the incident with Amei, the rumor spread quietly in the village, saying that Xiaodie was possessed by that thing.
These words are said unintentionally, but make the listeners feel uncomfortable.
They had to say nonsense about such a good child. Bai and Yang looked at Zhang Xiu at the same time, waiting for her to rush out so that they could follow her.
But Zhang Xiu knew what was going on. She knew that her daughter was definitely not afraid of this matter, and she didn't want to argue with those people because the mouth was on their body. If she went out to argue with others, it would only cause trouble for the second young master of the Lu family.
So he said, "Let's go from the other side."
It was as if I heard nothing.
Instead, Bai and Yang were stunned for a moment. They thought that Zhang Xiu was too kind-hearted to ignore such nonsense. You know, if such things were to spread, it would be difficult for the girl to get engaged, as it would be considered unlucky.
Ding Xiaodie also heard some rumors from Ding Xue and Ding Xiang, but she didn't care. The only thing she cared about was that she blamed herself for not staying calm at the time.
She planned to go to the cabin after dark to see if she could find any clues.
