In the evening, after dinner, several new escorts talked about the poisoning incident that happened during the day. Wang Yuanwu pretended to eat with his head down, but his ears did not dare to relax for a moment to catch everyone's words.
Perhaps because no one was hurt, the escorts only chatted for a few words and then moved on to other topics. Seeing that everyone didn't take it to heart, Wang Yuanwu breathed a sigh of relief, hummed a tune and went to find a washbasin to wash up.
When passing by Luo Xiaoshi's bed, Wang Yuanwu subconsciously glanced at Luo Xiaoshi, who was lying in his clothes. His heart skipped a beat and he walked around pretending to be calm.
After walking into the yard, Wang Yuanwu hesitated for a while and chose a new route to the kitchen. He went around to the depths of a remote flower path, threw a paper bag hidden in his waist among the flowers, and then walked through the flower path. Go to the inn's kitchen.
Wang Yuanwu went to the back kitchen of the inn to get a basin of hot water. As he was carrying the water to the rockery in the yard, he was suddenly startled when he saw Luo Xiaoshi's thin figure appearing not far from him at some point, blocking the way. Make your own way.
Wang Yuanwu swallowed hard, forced a smile and said hello: "Brother Luo, are you here too?"
Luo Xiaoshi glanced at him sideways and said coldly: "Come with me..."
"Ah?...Oh..." Wang Yuanwu hesitated for a moment, replied guiltily, and then reluctantly followed Luo Xiaoshi deeper into the flower path just now.
After a while, Luo Xiaoshi stopped, faced Wang Yuanwu, raised his right hand, showed him a paper bag he held in his palm, and asked in a low voice: "Why do you want to harm me?"
Wang Yuanwu moved his lips and said hesitantly: "Brother Luo, have you misunderstood? Everyone is here to make a living...I...how could I harm you..." As he spoke, he unconsciously moved his hands with his hands. He touched his nose, trying to hide his inner panic.
"I saw it all! When you came out to throw the medicine bag just now, I followed you all the way here..." Luo Xiaoshi stared at Wang Yuanwu's face and said decisively.
Wang Yuanwu's face changed slightly, and he said with a smile: "Haha, since you know it, there is no need for me to hide it... Yes, I was the one who poisoned it... What do you want?"
A fierce light flashed in Luo Xiaoshi's eyes, and he wanted to go forward and beat Wang Yuanwu immediately, but he still tried his best to restrain the anger in his heart and give Wang Yuanwu another chance to repent. He pondered for a moment and said: "As long as you apologize to me and don't deliberately make things difficult in the future, this matter will be wiped out and I won't tell anyone..."
Wang Yuanwu looked at Luo Xiaoshi's childish face and serious expression, and said contemptuously: "Little brother, since you are so generous, why do you care whether I apologize or not..."
Luo Xiaoshi saw that Wang Yuanwu had no regrets at all and was too lazy to waste words with him, so he snorted coldly: "I won't argue with you this time. If there is another time, I will never be soft. You can take care of yourself..." After that, , turned and left.
Wang Yuanwu's face suddenly turned red and he shouted: "You brat, what a loud tone! Do you really think I'm afraid of you? You're looking for death!" While shouting, he rushed forward and raised his palm to strike at the back of Luo Xiaoshi's head.
Luo Xiaoshi noticed the sharp palm wind behind his head and hurriedly turned around to block it. The two of them used their special moves, causing flowers and branches to fly all over the courtyard and the ground to be a mess.
When the waiter saw that the two men were acting seriously, he hurriedly went to tell the innkeeper for fear of his life. The shopkeeper became anxious after hearing this, and ran all the way to find the other escorts in the guest room and asked them to break up the fight.
The new bodyguards thought that Wang and Luo were just competing in martial arts or having fun, and were not in a hurry. When they arrived in the yard and saw the two men using their fierce moves, they became worried. Several escorts discussed it for a long time, but they couldn't make up their minds. I could only shout in vain from the side, hoping that the two of them would stop as soon as possible.
Luo Xiaoshi and Wang Yuanwu were jealous and completely ignored other people's persuasion. The two fought for another twenty or thirty rounds, and Wang Yuanwu gradually fell behind. Only then did he think of finding a way out for himself through everyone's persuasion. It's a pity that Luo Xiaoshi was completely irritated by his words just now, and now he was fighting back mercilessly, every move was like a move, leaving him no chance to breathe.
How to do it? Is he really going to be defeated by this kid today? Where will he put his old face? Wang Yuanwu was distracted by thinking and was almost hit in the chin by Luo Xiaoshi's fist. He widened his eyes in horror and stared at Luo Xiaoshi.
Luo Xiaoshi glared at him, abruptly withdrew his fist in time, jumped away, and stood a foot away. He patted his sleeves and walked out of the inn door without looking back.
Wang Yuanwu watched Luo Xiaoshi's leaving figure intently, and suddenly felt an inexplicable pain in his chest. He shook his head and stumbled towards the guest room. Several escorts came to their senses, stepped forward to support him, and returned to the guest room together.
Outside the inn, Luo Xiaoshi's lonely figure stretched very long under the moonlight.
He walked aimlessly for a long time and finally stopped at the door of a tavern. He squeezed the few pennies he had in his pocket and walked into the door of the tavern.
Three days later, Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu returned to the inn after finishing their work. As soon as the four people put down their luggage, they saw Ouyang Qi running over with a strange look on his face and told them about the poisoning incident that happened in the new escort's room a few days ago.
Su Qiqi and others discussed it and decided to talk to the two parties separately and the escort who was present at the time. From everyone's narration, Su Qiqi roughly understood the ins and outs of the matter, educated Wang Yuanwu, and then rearranged the accommodation arrangements for the new escort. The internal management system of the team was announced on the spot, and violators would be dismissed and expelled from the team.
Wang Yuanwu apologized to Luo Xiaoshi sincerely in front of Su Qiqi. But after returning to the newly arranged guest room, his expression immediately turned gloomy. He was not convinced by Su Qiqi's mediation. He still felt that the young master's bodyguard was partial to Luo Xiaoshi. If he stayed here, he would not be reused at all, and he would still have to be angry with that boy!
He angrily sat on the edge of the kang in a daze for a while, and suddenly an idea came to him. Instead of suffering here, he might as well join the Ye Youmeng... maybe he could make some windfall! Thinking of this, he hurriedly got up and dug out his luggage from under the pillow, briefly packed his belongings, and planned to leave without saying goodbye.
As soon as he walked out of the door, a dark figure tiptoed in, placed something under his pillow, and then quietly left.
The next day, someone found Wang Yuanwu's body at the city gate. When the county magistrate and government officials found the inn, Su Qiqi and others knew that something had happened to Wang Yuanwu. It was already midnight by the time Su Qiqi and others returned to the inn after cooperating with the county magistrate to give their confessions.
Su Qiqi, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu all felt very tired. The three of them simply washed themselves and were about to go to bed when they heard someone whispering outside the door.
Zheng Miao and Yan Ruoyu's sleepiness disappeared instantly. They quickly got up, put on their clothes and walked to the window to secretly listen to the sounds outside the house.
After a while, the two returned to the bed with excited expressions on their faces. Zheng Miao whispered to Su Qiqi: "Sister, do you know? The two newly recruited bodyguards we just spoke to said that they actually said that Luo Xiaoshi killed Wang Yuanwu... It's outrageous!"
Yan Ruoyu also complained dissatisfiedly: "Yes, how could Xiaoshi, a well-behaved and kind-hearted child, kill someone... And when the two of them fought that day, the onlookers also said that Xiaoshi had a chance to injure Wang Yuanwu. , he retracted his fist forcefully... So some people are really talking nonsense..."
Seeing that the two best friends were fighting for Luo Xiaoshi, Su Qiqi couldn't help but smile and said: "Okay! I also know Xiaoshi's character. Let's investigate clearly first before talking... It's best if we don't indulge in vain..."
Su Qiqi said this, but in her heart, she was more willing to believe that Luo Xiaoshi was innocent.
From the first time he met Luo Xiaoshi at the woodcarving shop to the days when he got along with her, Su Qiqi also felt that Luo Xiaoshi was kind-hearted and would not secretly kill someone. There might be another reason for Wang Yuanwu's death. However, it is difficult for me to draw conclusions before the facts of the case come to light.
In addition, the objects found under the pillow in Wang Yuanwu's room were also very suspicious. That huge amount of money may be closely related to Wang Yuanwu's murder, or it may be a smoke screen deliberately created by the murderer to confuse the direction of their investigation... The various thoughts that kept emerging in her mind disturbed Su Qiqi's mood. Try to calm down, carefully sort out the clues, and secretly investigate the truth of the matter with Qin Chuan as soon as possible.
But before she and Qin Chuan could investigate Wang Yuanwu's murderer, those gossips had already reached Luo Xiaoshi's ears, and he angrily rushed to find those gossiping escorts to argue. For a time, the entire team was full of suspicions and conflicts emerged one after another.
Su Qiqi was troubled by this: It seems that managing a team is not easy! I have just officially taken over the escort agency, and I still lack experience in many aspects. I am not yet able to know and appoint people as well as my father and Uncle Qin. Just like the current matter, if it is not handled in time or handled improperly, it will easily deepen the conflicts and bad feelings among the team members, and major problems may occur in the future.
Thinking of this, Su Qiqi felt that it was necessary to formulate the core values and code of conduct of the bodyguard bureau, guide the bodyguards to abide by martial ethics, love their fellow disciples, and help others, restrain some bad behaviors of the bodyguards, and make the entire team more professional. Cohesive and combative.
As for how to implement it? Su Qiqi decided to discuss with Qin Chuan and others to formulate a plan first, and then Fei Ge sent a letter to Nangong's father and Uncle Qin for approval. If the two elders agreed, the plan would be implemented. From now on, the escort bureau will have its own standards for recruiting people, so that it can better select partners with the same views and avoid the farce of fellow members being jealous of each other.
That night, Su Qiqi, Qin Chuan, Zheng Miao, and Yan Ruoyu talked very late again before going back to their rooms to rest.
