N-A-A Chapter 331: Mrs. Zhao in the Well
Chapter 331: Mrs. Zhao in the Well
It was around four or five in the afternoon when a scream suddenly came from the yard.
At this time, Gu Chaoxi was still sleeping, and Pei Yan was also drowsy as he sat at the table with his chin propped up.
Shen Yao and Qin Wei had already fallen asleep on the table.
This scream immediately woke up all three people at the table.
Pei Yan subconsciously got up and walked to the bed. Seeing that Gu Chaoxi was still asleep, he frowned slightly, thought about it, and did not wake her up.
He just reached out and pulled the quilt towards her. When he turned around, he saw Qin Wei had stood up and was rubbing his eyes.
Shen Yao also woke up and stood up.
Just as I was about to say something, I saw Pei Yan raise his hand and put his index finger to his lips.
He opened his mouth, but no sound came out: "Let's go down, she's still sleeping."
Qin Wei nodded and walked towards the door together.
After opening the door, the three people walked out carefully and closed the door again.
Standing on the second floor, one could see the situation in the yard. At this moment, Luo Zhi was standing next to the wellhead. He took two steps back with a look of panic on his face and then fell to the ground.
From the archway on the other side of the wing, Shen Lan and Zhao Xiangxiang appeared almost at the same time and both went towards the wellhead.
In just a moment, Shen Lan took a look into the well and immediately stepped back.
Seeing this situation, the three of them didn't delay any longer and trotted directly towards the stairs.
When passing by the nearby rooms, Zhou Ze just happened to come out.
A few people went downstairs and rushed to the yard. They saw Zhou Youyou coming from the other wing. Without asking anything, they went to the wellhead first.
Shen Lan was almost unable to stand, but fortunately Zhao Xiangxiang supported her.
"Are you OK?"
Zhao Xiangxiang asked her, but she didn't answer. She just shook her head, pulled Zhao Xiangxiang, and took two steps back.
Luo Zhi was still sitting on the ground in a daze. Before Qin Wei could go over and help him up, a figure passed by and rushed directly to Luo Zhi's side.
"Xiaozhi, are you okay?"
This person was Luo Yu, who was probably resting in the room. He ran out when he heard Luo Zhi's shouting without even putting on his shoes.
However, Qin Wei glanced at it.
Luo Yu's right shoe was not put on properly, but he wore socks, but his left foot was not even wearing socks.
Isn't this a bit strange? If so, why isn't the left shoe not properly worn?
But that's not what's important now.
Pei Yan walked towards the wellhead, leaned over and looked down, and after a slight pause he reacted.
His brows were furrowed and he was staring intently down.
Qin Wei came forward and looked down, and remained silent for a while.
In the well, there was the body of Mrs. Zhao.
At this moment, the whole person seemed to be bent, and only the upper half of the body could be seen floating on the water, with messy hair floating like a layer of seaweed.
The scariest thing is that pair of eyes.
At this moment, Mrs. Zhao's eyes were wide open, filled with disbelief, and there were red bloodshot in her eyes.
Her mouth was slightly open, her hands were on both sides of her body, and her knuckles seemed to be trying to scratch the wall of the well before she died, so they maintained a strange posture.
Qin Wei retracted her gaze and turned her head to look at Zhao Xiangxiang who was supporting Shen Lan at this time. Some words suddenly choked in her throat.
No wonder Shen Lan pulled Zhao Xiangxiang back just now, so that's why.
only......
She had to know eventually.
Qin Wei sighed, turned around again, and looked at Luo Zhi, who was sitting on the ground and seemed a little confused.
How come the discovery of the body was just a fabrication?
Moreover, at this point, it was almost time for dinner, and all the little monks had basically gathered in the kitchen.
Most of the remaining refugees stayed in the two front yards.
Therefore, this small courtyard near the two side rooms is now almost deserted, which means that no one saw who killed Mrs. Zhao and threw her into the well.
What's more, from the naked eye, there seems to be no other external injuries on Mrs. Zhao's body, and it is very likely that she drowned.
Pei Yan was silent for a while, and finally stepped back from the wellhead.
"We have to salvage the body first."
Zhao Xiangxiang was still holding Shen Lan and had not looked into the well until now, so she didn't know that her mother was in the well.
But we will have to know it soon. Thinking of this, Shen Lan raised his hand and patted Zhao Xiangxiang's hand.
"Xiangxiang, you need to be stronger."
She didn't know what to say, this was the only way to comfort her.
Zhao Xiangxiang was a little confused as to why Shen Lan suddenly said this. She pretended to look into the well, but was held back by Shen Lan.
There were mixed emotions in her eyes, and Zhao Xiangxiang was speechless: "What's wrong? Could it be my mother or my brother?"
After she finished speaking, everyone present fell silent for a moment.
Finally, Zhao Xiangxiang sensed something from this unusual reaction. She instantly fell to the ground and no longer had the courage to look.
Shen Lan squatted down, held her shoulders, and comforted her softly.
When the accident just happened, Shen Yao went to call the young monks in the temple.
Now two little monks came and together with Shen Yao and Pei Yan, they salvaged the body from the well.
During the whole process, Luo Zhi just sat on the ground blankly, looking at him with lifeless eyes.
A layer of straw mat had been laid on the ground in advance. When Mrs. Zhao's body was placed on it, water immediately flowed from her body onto the ground.
A few people avoided her and glanced sideways at Zhao Xiangxiang.
The moment she saw the man clearly, she immediately lowered her head and her whole body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"How could this happen, Mother!" She wailed, and crawled two steps forward on her knees. She had no strength left, and fell to the ground crying.
Pei Yan sighed, blocked Zhao Xiangxiang's view, and squatted down beside the corpse.
Mrs. Zhao's eyes were still wide open. It was obvious that she knew the person who pushed her down, and she felt it was unbelievable.
The only people in this temple who could know Madam Zhao were these young men and women.
Master Qin died before Madam Zhao, so it couldn't have been Master Qin.
Now, the murderer who killed Mr. Qin has not been found yet, and now we have to look for the murderer who killed Madam Zhao.
I'm really busy and having a lot of fun.
Qin Wei shook her head and even wondered whether they could get out of this plane.
Pei Yan tore off a piece of rag from the corner of his clothes and hastily examined Mrs. Zhao's limbs, neck and head through the piece of cloth.
There were no obvious external injuries, and the clothes on his body also showed that there were no wounds, otherwise there would not be no bloodstains at all.
"It can be basically concluded that he fell into the water and drowned."
"But we didn't hear any sound." Qin Wei looked up.
How could there be no cry for help after a person falls into the water?
They were all in the room, so they should have been able to hear Mrs. Zhao if she called for help.
Unless she can't speak.
