After hearing the news, Su Shi's eyes gradually dimmed, as if he was a little regretful and a little sad.
"How did he die?" After a long time, he asked slowly.
"Suicide." Zhou Jin said silently: "There is always a poison hidden in his body."
"Didn't you find it?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "The poison is very small and hidden in his fingernails."
"When did it happen?"
"Just this morning."
"Why did he choose to commit suicide today?" Su Shi was a little confused: "It stands to reason that a person's will to commit suicide will become weaker and weaker as time goes by."
"Perhaps he didn't want his companions to die for him."
Su Shi didn't seem surprised, and just sighed: "What happened?"
Zhou Jin described to Su Shi in detail what happened in Yilanyuan last night.
"Every other hour last night, someone sneaked into Yilan Garden, but they only harassed them for a while and then retreated."
Su Shi pondered: "I remember that the reason why you locked You Gui in Yilan Garden is because it is backed by Huimeng Mountain, and looking down from Huimeng Mountain, Yilan Garden can be seen at a glance."
"Yes." Zhou Jin admitted: "In this way, the opponent will definitely observe the defense situation in Yilan Garden from Huimeng Mountain, and Fan Yujing also deliberately left a flaw in the southwest corner in order to give them the confidence to take action."
"Obviously your goal has been achieved."
Zhou Jin said: "But this is not the result I want. No one was arrested, and You Gui also committed suicide."
Su Shi was a little confused: "Didn't the other party sneak in from the southwest corner?"
"No? They seem to know there is a trap."
Su Shi sighed: "It seems that the other party is much smarter than we thought."
Zhou Jin couldn't help but sigh: "The other party is not only smart, but also very skilled in martial arts. Although there are only two people here, they can still come and go freely surrounded by four or five guards. On the contrary, there are still three people among the guards who are suffering." Injured."
Su Shi couldn't help but frown slightly: "Are you really sure that no one sneaked into Yilan Garden to meet You Gui?"
Zhou Jin shook his head and said with certainty: "Since the stable was broken down and You Gui committed suicide last night, Fan Yujing has been guarding the door of You Gui's room. Except for Eunuch Liu who went in to deliver meals, he is very sure that no one has come into contact with You Gui. expensive."
"Eunuch Liu?"
Zhou Jin sighed: "You don't doubt him, do you? Eunuch Liu is almost seventy, frail, deaf, and old-eyed. He can't do anything. That's why Fan Yujing sent him to deliver food to You Gui."
"Eunuch Liu has always sent meals to You Gui?"
"Yes." Zhou Jin suddenly looked at him strangely: "Why do you think there is a problem with You Gui's death?"
Su Shi shook his head: "There is no problem with his death. The problem is that he shouldn't have died at this time."
Zhou Jin was even more surprised: "Then when should he die?"
"If he wanted to die, he should have died six days ago." Su Shi said slowly.
Six days ago was the time when Su Shi exposed You Gui.
"Maybe he can't stand the torture."
"You Gui has survived six days. How can someone who is respected by Fan Yu Jingdu not be able to bear the torture? What's more, Fan Yu Jing already knows that no matter what method he uses, he can no longer make You Gui speak, so he stopped torturing You Gui."
Zhou Jin thought deeply: "Then only the reason just now makes sense. He knew that no one could save him, so he chose to commit suicide because he didn't want anyone to die for him."
Su Shi seemed to have a different view, but there seemed to be many things he couldn't figure out.
After pondering for a long time, his expression changed and he suddenly asked: "Where is You Gui's body now?"
"Since You Gui is dead, his body will naturally be in Yizhuang."
"Are there any guards guarding Yizhuang?"
"Do you suspect that You Gui faked his death?" Zhou Jin shook his head gently: "Fan Yujing confirmed again and again that if it was a fake death, it would not escape his eyes. Moreover, when You Gui's body was sent to Yizhuang, his whole body had been Stiff.”
Su Shi sighed: "I don't think he faked his death, but there is absolutely no Yougui's body in Yi Zhuang now."
"You mean they will steal Yougui's body? What are they doing with a body?"
"Because that corpse can talk?"
Zhou Jin looked at him with pale face, and couldn't help but said in shock: "How can the corpse speak?"
"This corpse can not only talk, but also deliver messages." Su Shi said silently: "If my guess is correct, someone had already sneaked into Yilan Garden when the stable burned."
"Impossible." Zhou Jin said firmly at first, but then looked at Su Shi: "Why do you think so?"
"The fire in the stable must have been pretty big."
Zhou Jin admitted: "Yes, the weather was dry and there were a lot of flammable things stored in the stables, so a fire almost burned down half of the stables."
"Because the fire was so big, the smoke was very thick. Once the smoke was thick, it would affect the observation of the hidden sentry. It was not difficult to sneak in someone quietly at that time. There must have been many people fighting the fire at that time, so the scene must have been chaotic. "
Zhou Jin nodded unnaturally, because not only was the fire very strong, but it also frightened the horses. At that time, there was as much chaos as there was, so it was not difficult to sneak in at that time.
"The reason why those two people forced their way into Yilan Garden later was just to make Fan Yujing think that the fire in the stable was also a plan to seize the opportunity."
Although Zhou Jin admitted that Su Shi's words made sense, he couldn't help but argue: "But at that time, even if someone took advantage of the chaos and sneaked in, they would never be able to contact You Gui."
"They didn't plan to rescue You Gui last night, they just wanted to sneak people in. I believe that Yilanyuan is so big that it shouldn't be difficult to hide someone. And this person is going to be the internal response the next time they actually carry out a rescue. "
"But the first thing they have to do is to let You Gui know that someone of them has sneaked into Yilan Garden and is trying to find a way to save him." At this point, Su Shi said regretfully: "It was also this news that was passed on to You Gui. That’s why You Gui committed suicide.”
"Why?" Zhou Jin asked in confusion: "Why did You Gui commit suicide even though he has already seen hope?"
"As you said, he doesn't want others to die for him. Although someone has sneaked in, You Gui also knows that it is not easy to rescue him."
Zhou Jin felt that her head was in chaos: "If that's the case, why didn't he commit suicide earlier? Why did he wait until today to commit suicide?"
"Because he has already passed on the message through certain methods."
Zhou Jin asked eagerly: "What method?"
"Food box." Su Shi said: "No one will pay attention to the food box that delivers meals. As long as someone sneaks in and leaves some kind of mark on the food box, You Gui will know that they have sneaked in, and at the same time, You Gui will also pass through The food box conveyed his message to his companions.”
"What message did Yougui pass on to his companions?"
Su Shi sighed: "The message You Gui conveyed is that the secret is on his body."
