The blood splashing and gushing out from the wound melted the dry and soft snow, and then was rapidly cooled, leaving a very strange red color on the pure white snow.
Manager Chu immediately sent ten people out to chase the murderer. At the same time, he ordered the servants to prepare hot water and call for the doctor. Thinking that there was a doctor in the house, and seeing Zou Zhan running away, Manager Chu sent no more people.
But Manager Chu knew that it would be useless even if the doctor came, as the young apprentice was already a corpse.
The door of Zhao Ning's master bedroom was opened, and Zhao Ning walked out wearing thick clothes.
Manager Chu was about to find her, so he sped up the stairs and ran towards Zhao Ning who was standing on the verandah: "Madam!"
"I heard some noises," Zhao Ning said quietly, "Are you still angry?"
She was not wearing a veil, and in the light, her gapped lips exposed her yellowed teeth, which were two extremes from the exquisiteness of the upper half of her face.
Manager Chu was used to her face and said: "I'm out of breath. I'm dead. Madam, this happened in Ning'an Building. As the general manager of Ning'an Building, I neglected my duty."
"Have you sent someone to chase the murderer?"
"went!"
"Send more manpower, the more the better, we must find this person."
"Um!"
Zhao Ning turned around and went back to the house.
The ten men who went to chase the murderer came back quickly and found nothing, not even any footprints in the snow.
Manager Chu was furious and sent more people out. At the same time, he went to the government and Hengxiang guard posts to call for help.
With Ning'an Building as the center, every household within a radius of two miles had their courtyard doors banged by people sent by Manager Chu.
Hundreds of people searched for clues along the streets and alleys, and Gu Yi was also called to help.
Before leaving, Bian Yuanfeng put the knife in his hand against Gu Yi's neck and said coldly: "If you dare to betray us, I will cut off your meat piece by piece and eat it for you to see!"
Zaichun stood behind the pillars of the verandah in front of the main house. The color of snow made her pale face look even whiter. Her fingers were trembling a little, but her eyes were as bright and powerful as possible.
Cao Yu was going out to inspect the spot again tonight. When Zai Chun saw the young apprentice at the door, he asked Cao Yu to kill him.
It was this little apprentice who came every now and then to deliver medicine, making Yiqiu feel better day by day, but Hongwen had no chance to do anything.
Gu Yi is a ruthless person. No matter who he is, Gu Yi doesn't dare to provoke him, let alone a ruthless person like Bian Yuanfeng.
With the knife held to his neck like this, Gu Yi almost knelt down and shouted for mercy.
After Gu Yi left, Bian Yuanfeng turned around and looked behind him.
Zai Chun was startled and scratched the surface of the pillar where the paint was badly peeled off with his fingers.
Bian Yuanfeng's eyes were very fierce. He didn't deliberately glare or frown, but he was still very fierce. It was the murderous nature in his bones, a bloodthirsty cruelty that he had cultivated after killing dozens or even hundreds of people.
Zai Chun didn't dare to stay any longer, so he gave him a blessed salute, turned around and ran into the house.
Not long after, Zaichun heard footsteps outside.
She looked toward the door uneasily.
"If something happens to Cao Yu," Bian Yuanfeng said coldly, "I will cut off your head."
"No, it won't happen!" Zaichun shouted tremblingly.
In fact, Zaichun regretted it as soon as the young apprentice died.
She hated the little apprentice and wanted to kill him. But when he really died, Zaichun realized that she didn't consider the consequences at all.
She had been with Zhao Ning for so long, knowing that Zhao Ning was so proud that the young apprentice could die anywhere but not in Ning'an Building.
Ning'an Tower would dispatch so many people tonight, she should have thought of it earlier.
She hoped that Cao Yu would come back soon, she could only pray now.
After the government officials came to inspect and perform an autopsy, the young apprentice's body was covered with a white cloth and placed on a temporary wooden bed.
In addition to people from the government, many people from nearby neighborhoods also came.
Outside the back alley and in the open space in the front hall, hundreds of people crawling out of bed gathered.
Some rumors inevitably spread among the crowd.
At Yin Shi, a carriage came out of the backyard of Ning'an Building.
Steward Chu was talking to several people sent by the chamber of commerce. When he looked sideways at the carriage, Steward Chu hurriedly stepped forward: "Doctor."
I don't even know the other person's last name.
"Please hand over Ju Ming's body to the government instead of sending it back to the hospital," a hoarse voice came from the carriage, "Lao Chu is in charge."
"Okay," Manager Chu said apologetically, "just now the people I sent to find Dr. Zhong came back, and I found out that Dr. Zhong has been ill for so many days. My people dare not tell him about this for the time being, lest he get worse.
.It is up to you, doctor, to decide whether you want to tell him or not."
There was no more talking in the carriage, the coachman raised his whip, and the carriage drove forward.
People from the Chamber of Commerce looked at the carriage curiously and asked the steward who was in the carriage.
Manager Chu couldn't tell. Thinking of Yi Qiu, Manager Chu called his right and left men and asked them to entertain him here. He went to see Yi Qiu first.
The carriage left through the long alley, and more and more people were seen along the road, especially in the open space in front of Ning'an Building, curiously staring at the sudden appearance of the carriage.
"Sir..." Zou Zhan said in a deep voice, "It seems we have to take a long detour, otherwise these people will stare at us."
Shen Xu closed her eyes, feeling helpless and said a faint "Yeah".
I wanted to keep a low profile, but ended up being forced to be high-profile.
His heart that wanted to hide in the dark and observe quietly had nowhere to rest.
"Alas," Shen Xu opened her eyes and sighed, "I'm not suitable to be a good person."
But I still have to come tomorrow, so I’ve really tricked myself...
The sky was getting brighter, and the troops from Ning'an Tower came back one after another. Everyone was sleepy and exhausted, and yawned all the time.
The most capable deputies around Manager Chu led the waiters out to distribute silver coins. Each person who went out received three coins each, as well as three sesame-burning cakes, a large meat bun, and a bowl of soy milk.
The salary for a month was only three or four cents, and three cents a night. Such a generous sum aroused much discussion among the people who came to see the excitement in the morning.
"This really pisses off Mrs. Zhao!"
"Ms. Zhao is so powerful, she never treats her subordinates badly!"
"I wonder when the real culprit will be caught, but there will be a lot of fun to watch next!"
…
Gu Yi sat outside and ate sesame seed cakes with others.
Ning'an House's sesame cakes and meat buns are so filling that many people are reluctant to eat them and plan to take them home for everyone.
Gu Yi would never have such thoughts. He ate everything but was in a bad mood.
When those people's words reached his ears, he listened with fear.
We went out to search all night last night. Everyone on the way was very serious. The expressions and tone of words of several stewards made Gu Yi feel that something big happened this time.
Such a big thing was actually caused by that stinky bitch in his family.
I don’t know if Cao Yu has gone back now, or whether he will be discovered when he returns. If the scene is not clean and any clues are brought back, he will definitely be in trouble.
Also, when Gu Yi looked at so many men talking and eating around him, he suddenly became confused. Can such a big Ning'an Building really be eaten by just the few people in his backyard?
