"What's wrong, Brother Ma? What did you remember?"
Wu Chengzhang asked eagerly when he saw Ma Xiaoguang's expression.
Although Chu Zhi didn't speak, he still had a look of expectation on his face.
Ma Xiaoguang sat in the back seat, closed the car door, and said a little excitedly: "The servant Qu San said that he heard the conversation between Old Man Qin and Master Qu, and I think there is something wrong with it."
"Qu San didn't lie. He must have heard the voice, but it may not be Mr. Qu's voice!"
He didn't tell lies in front of real people, and Ma Xiaoguang didn't show off, and directly told his guess.
Chu Zhi reacted immediately and asked directly: "You mean, there is someone in the study who is imitating Mr. Qu?"
Ma Xiaoguang nodded and replied resolutely: "Yes! That should be the case, and he should be someone who is good at imitating people's speech!"
"Ventriloquist!"
The three of them unanimously gave the same answer.
"Yes, it's ventriloquism! The murderer probably used ventriloquism to imitate Master Qu's speech in order to cover himself or his accomplices after killing him."
Ma Xiaoguang stated his previous conjecture with certainty.
However, it is no longer a conjecture, it is basically an accurate inference.
Wu Chengzhang nodded and added: "It is unlikely that there are outsiders, because except for Qu San at the door of the study courtyard, no one else was seen among the servants of the Qu family except Old Qin..."
Ma Xiaoguang continued: "That proves that this ventriloquist murderer or accomplice must be in the Qu family mansion!"
As soon as these words came out, the two elites at Ningbo station also understood.
Chu Zhi didn't say anything, and quickly turned the car around and drove towards the Qu family's mansion on Hanling Street.
The car was driving so fast on the road that I was ready to reach out and turn off the radio.
"Brother Xu, don't mention it. It's quite good. If it weren't for this drama, I would have thought about it for a while. It won't affect me if I listen to it."
Ma Xiaoguang quickly spoke up to stop Chu Zhi.
The three of them all smiled, and Zhizhi also turned up the volume a little, and stepped on the accelerator.
There were fewer pedestrians at night, and the cars drove very fast. The journey that originally took an hour took only about forty minutes to complete.
Just when I arrived at the Qu family mansion, I saw Fatty and his servant Qu San running out in a hurry.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing the two of them, Ma Xiaoguang felt bad in his heart. Before the car stopped, he jumped out of the car and asked the fat man.
"Madam... Madam is missing!"
Qu San stammered his report as soon as he saw Ma Xiaoguang.
Although Ma Xiaoguang was mentally prepared when he guessed the result, he did not expect that Mrs. Qu would disappear at this time, which was indeed a bit frustrating.
Fatty followed Qu San without saying a word, but the expression on his face told Ma Xiaoguang that he was even more angry.
However, Ma Xiaoguang quickly collected his emotions and did not panic.
Ma Xiaoguang said to Qu San in a deep voice: "Okay, the most important thing now is your master's affairs. The old housekeeper is old, and you, Qu San, are also the elderly in the family. Please help me more..."
"Other things are up to us. Don't make any noise about the madam's affairs. Keep a low profile. Can you tell us what's going on?"
After that, Ma Xiaoguang and others took Qu San to a secluded place at the side door of the house.
"Why did the person suddenly disappear?"
Ma Xiaoguang asked Qu San.
Qu San also said with a face of shame and annoyance at this time: "This is also strange. Although Madam was grieving during the day, she kept waiting at the mourning hall. She ate lunch with the young lady and the young master. There is nothing wrong in this."
"In the afternoon, a group of monks came to Tentong Temple to perform rituals. They jingled for a while. My wife was still in the mourning hall at that time, and I kept watching."
"Just after the ritual was done, Butler Qu had been tired for several days and couldn't bear it anymore and fainted. Master Yang (the fat man) immediately drove him to the hospital..."
"The young master and the young lady have to stay in the hall, so I went to the accounting office to help get the merit money..."
"The monks took the merit money and left. I was so busy that I didn't pay attention. Master Yang came back just now and asked me where my wife was. Then..."
After listening to Qu San's story, Ma Xiaoguang comforted him and said: "It seems there is a reason for this. Some people do calculations mentally and unintentionally. Don't blame yourself. Now is the time for the family to employ people. You are an old man and you have to take over."
When Qu San heard this, he said yes repeatedly, thanked him endlessly and then left.
"Fat man, don't be discouraged. I can't blame you for this. I didn't think well. I should have arranged for two more people to support you."
Ma Xiaoguang patted the fat man on the shoulder and encouraged him.
But the fat man is a big-hearted man. Now he has come to his senses, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, Fat Master, I don't get discouraged that easily... It seems that it was planned by the other party. We met last night and ran away today. It's early." It’s premeditated!”
The fat man's words were unanimously approved by everyone.
Ma Xiaoguang also smiled at the fat man thoughtfully.
I really don’t blame this guy this time, and this guy also knew how to be measured. He actually held back some of his words and didn’t go out indiscriminately...
There is progress!
"Fat man, you should continue to guard the Qu family's mansion and don't go out casually. The key point is to protect the safety of the young master and young lady of the Qu family!"
"Brother Wu, I need to trouble you to arrange for some reliable brothers to be stationed in the Qu family to ensure everything is in place."
Ma Xiaoguang made arrangements for the next step without hesitation.
"I'll stay. Others are afraid that they won't do things carefully enough and won't make any more mistakes."
Chu Zhi glanced at Wu Chengzhang, and after receiving a confirming look, he quickly expressed his stance.
Seeing this, Ma Xiaoguang nodded and said nothing, but looked at each other and smiled at Deputy Station Chief Wu.
Wu Chengzhang added aloud: "Chief Xu will call the brothers at the station later and arrange for two reliable people to go to the hospital to protect Butler Qu...
We will dispatch some more people and rush to the outskirts of Tiantong Temple to wait for Commander Ma and me. "
Fatty and Chu Zhi took the order and turned around and entered the side door.
Ma Xiaoguang and Wu Chengzhang did not stay any longer. Now they had to hurry up and go to Tiantong Temple to check the situation there.
"If we go to Tiantong Temple at this time, can we find Mrs. Qu?"
Wu Chengzhang was sitting in the passenger seat and asked Ma Xiaoguang hesitantly.
"It's possible that he can't be found, but since the other party can collude with the monks of Tiantong Temple, he must have a lot to do with the temple.
Even if we can't find anyone, we will definitely find someone else this time... As the saying goes, the passing geese leave a sound, and the passing wind leaves a trace..."
Ma Xiaoguang drove the car and said to Wu Chengzhang calmly.
Having said this, Wu Chengzhang understood clearly and did not continue to struggle. He settled down and acted as a human navigation for Ma Xiaoguang.
Half an hour later, we arrived at the entrance of Tiantong Village in Taibai Mountain.
There was a truck parked on the side of the road. When he saw the Dodge car, the truck took out a flashlight and flashed it three times.
This was the agreed signal. Huang Cheng led a team of action team members to meet the two of them here.
"Okay, follow us and go to Tendo Temple immediately. Once you arrive, immediately block all exits."
Wu Chengzhang did not get out of the car, but sat in the car and gave orders directly to Huang Cheng.
