The few people who were yelled at by Zhu Yuewu immediately responded. Z.br>

And within a moment, they actually found the reason.

"Second Young Master, we found this oil pot on the window sill of the bathroom and the dried firewood on the window sill. Our preliminary estimate is that the fire may have started from here."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuewu immediately became displeased and said, "How come the oil pot and firewood are placed together? How do you do things?"

Upon hearing Zhu Yuewu's inquiry, the boy only said, "I don't know."

"If you don't know, go check it out quickly! Do you need me to teach you this?" Zhu Yuewu scolded him coldly.

Upon hearing Zhu Yuewu's scolding, the boy immediately said yes, and then the boy hurriedly led the people away.

After Zhu Yuewu reprimanded the boy, he immediately comforted Shen Fanghui, "Huiniang, don't be too sad. Don't worry, I will find the murderer directly."

Hearing Zhu Yuewu's comfort, Shen Fanghui seemed to feel some comfort at the moment.

Under Zhu Yuewu's instructions, the group of people soon escorted an old man to the scene.

Looking at the old man being escorted over, Zhu Yuewu immediately glanced at those people and said, "What are you doing by bringing this man here?"

Hearing Zhu Yuewu's question, everyone just glanced at each other. After a long time, one of them whispered, "Second Young Master, this is the old man who just put the firewood and the oil pot together. Look at our What should we do with them?"

After hearing these people's words, the expression on Zhu Yuewu's face immediately changed, "So this is what you do, you are so brave, say! Why do you put this oil pot and firewood together?"

Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words. The old man only flinched immediately.

He obviously didn't expect that his momentary negligence today would actually cause such a tragedy.

The old man immediately said, "Second Master, I put the oil and firewood here, but I don't know how things ended up like this. After all, I didn't light a fire here. If there was no fire, How could this fire be caused here?"

When he said this, the old man just burped unconsciously.

After hearing the old man's words, Zhu Yuewu's face showed a hint of displeasure for a moment.

"But without these things from you, how could the fire reach this house?"

Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, the old man could only whisper, "But I just let it go for a while. The little old man really didn't expect that the fire in this house would fall on my firewood. Please give me some warning." The little old man is definitely not the culprit of the murders and arson! The little old man doesn’t even know why there are people in this house?”

Hearing the old man keep saying this, Zhu Yuewu immediately turned his head to look at the others and said, "Who is the first person to find water leaking here today?"

Hearing Zhu Yuewu's words, Shen Fanghui just said, "I was the first to notice the leak before the boy could speak."

Upon hearing Shen Fanghui's words, Zhu Yuewu originally wanted to scold him.

However, after seeing clearly that the person who said this was Shen Fanghui, he couldn't help but change his attitude towards Shen Fanghui.

"It turns out that my sister-in-law discovered the water leakage here first. Fortunately, my sister-in-law discovered the water leakage here first, otherwise the place would have burned more." Zhu Yuewu immediately went against his own conscience and praised Shen Fanghui.

After hearing Zhu Yuewu's praise, Shen Fanghui had no thoughts at all at the moment. After all, Chunlan died in the garden bathroom like this. It would be difficult for anyone to accept this.

On the other side, after seeing the farce in the garden, the maid immediately went to the young master's room.

The maid walked through the corridor without opening the door or window, and then she heard a faint cough coming from the corridor.

Hearing the violent coughing sound, the maid just waited for the sound to subside, and then she knocked on the door.

After hearing the thumping sound, a weak voice came from the room after a while, "What?"

Who is here? "

After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid only replied in a low voice, "Master, it's me."

At this moment, Zhu Zanxun finally recognized who the speaker was, so he just said, "Come in."

After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid opened the wooden door.

As the wooden door was pushed open, the maid saw that her young master had just put a bloody handkerchief into his arms.

Seeing Zhu Zanxun like this, the maid's eyes could not help but flash a hint of distress for Zhu Zanxun.

"Master."

Zhu Zanxun said coldly, "Say."

After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid hesitated for a moment, then suppressed her sadness and said, "Master, something happened to Sister Chunlan."

Hearing this, Zhu Zanxun was immediately stunned. After a while, he opened his eyes wide and said, "What do you mean by this? What happened to Chunlan?"

Facing Zhu Zanxun's somewhat hasty inquiry, the maid was a little stunned for a moment. She obviously did not expect that Zhu Zanxun would ask herself such a question.

After a long time, she glanced at Butler Xu worriedly. Butler Xu obviously disapproved of her reckless behavior.

Butler Xu just shook his head silently towards the maid.

The maid looked at Butler Xu and immediately looked away.

However, her little move was still noticed by Zhu Zanxun. After Zhu Zanxun coughed twice more, he just said in a voice full of displeasure, "What on earth do you want to say?"

Faced with Zhu Zanxun's low scolding, the maid obviously did not react for a moment. After a moment, she said to Zhu Zanxun, "No... nothing?"

Zhu Zanxun then just slammed the table again, "Nothing? It's nothing and you would look at Butler Xu's eyes and act. It's nothing and you would be so flustered?"

After hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid immediately fell silent and stopped talking.

Zhu Zanxun was very unhappy for a moment.

"Why don't you say anything? What's the matter? Do you want me to be deaf? Don't worry, I won't be able to stand what you said."

Hearing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid glanced at Butler Xu again in a daze. Butler Xu naturally knew that he could no longer hide Zhu Zanxun's secrets, so he no longer looked at the maid.

Although he didn't say anything, the maid still saw in his eyes that Butler Xu now meant that he wanted to make his own choice.

And this kind of self-choice will definitely go against Butler Xu's original wishes.

It's okay if the young master is fine, but if something happens to the young master, then he will be the culprit.

But if you don't tell him, the young master is obviously on the verge of going berserk now, so if you don't tell him, you may also anger the young master. When the young master becomes angry, he will be so angry that he hurts his body, and I am afraid that I will not end well.

So after some struggle, the maid finally decided to confess everything.

"Master, something happened to Sister Chunlan, which means that Sister Chunlan is dead."

Although he knew that something bad had probably happened to Chunlan, Zhu Zanxun obviously did not expect that Chunlan would cause such a big trouble.

"How could this happen? You mean Chunlan is dead? How could something like this happen to her?" For a while, Zhu Zanxun obviously still couldn't accept what the maid said.

Facing Zhu Zanxun's words, the maid only whispered, "I still don't know why something happened to Sister Chunlan."

Then the maid gritted her teeth and thought of the young lady, and she couldn't help but feel a sense of hatred.

"But Chunlan's death seems to be inseparable from that Miss Lu!"

"You mean Huiniang?" Butler Xu asked in surprise. He didn't believe that Shen Fanghui would do such a thing.

However, facing Butler Xu's question, the maid immediately nodded seriously.

Seeing the way she nodded, it turned out that she was also the girl who had been with him for many years. Naturally, Zhu Zanxun didn't want to doubt it.

Hers, so Zhu Zanxun only took the initiative to say to the girl, "How did she kill Chunlan?"

After hearing the young master directly say that Shen Fanghui killed Chunlan, she did not dare to say so, so she immediately explained, "Master, she probably did not kill Chunlan intentionally, but Chunlan's death was also related to her." It can’t be said that it has anything to do with it.”

Hearing that there seemed to be room for recovery in the maid's words, Butler Xu couldn't help but take the initiative and said, "What do you mean by this? Please explain it to me quickly."

Now that Butler Xu had taken the initiative to speak, the maid could only say immediately, "Master, Sister Chunlan died in the small bathroom of Mrs. Zhu's plantation. She was burned alive in the bathroom." .”

After hearing this, it was obvious that Zhu Zanxun was excited again.

"How could things be like this? Who did it?" Zhu Zanxun immediately took the initiative to ask.

Facing Zhu Zanxun's question, the maid only whispered, "I don't know why it is like this, let alone who did it. I only know that when I passed by, the garden was filled with water, and The reason why Sister Chunlan appeared near the toilet room was because Miss Lu said she was going to pay her respects to Mrs. Zhu. If she had not gone to pay her respects, Chunlan would not have gone to the toilet in Mrs. Zhu's small garden because of a stomachache. If she had If she hadn’t gone to the toilet, Chunlan wouldn’t have died!”

After listening to the maid's long explanation of the cause and effect, Butler Xu couldn't help but say, "What do I think this Miss Lu really has to do with the affair? It turns out that her relationship is so shallow."

However, facing Butler Xu's words, Zhu Zanxun just glanced at Butler Xu expressionlessly, and then he only whispered, "Is there anyone investigating this matter now? Is there any preliminary suspect now?"

Faced with Zhu Zanxun's inquiry, the maid only whispered, "There seems to be no suspect worthy of suspicion at the moment. The second young master only initially suspected that the old man guarding the garden accidentally set the fire. After all, the old man loved to drink. He also set the fire." If the wine and firewood are placed together, it seems possible that a fire could be set by mistake."
