Chapter 492 Suspicion
Ma Xiulian was in pain and biting the blood on her lips, and she said in a trembling voice: "See clearly, is it really the arrow shot by the wolf boy?"
Sun Wu nodded with certainty and said, "Xiu Lian, I can see clearly that he shot the head of the family and wanted to kill me. I saw that things were not good. At that time, I was a little far away, so I thought I could not let him succeed, so I turned around and ran away. He chased me from behind, shot me with an arrow, and shot my shoulder. If it weren't for the night, and I ran fast, you would probably only see my body." He was still scared, and his face was filled with fear.
Qiu Yinghao finally said angrily: "That beast, where has he been now?"
"I don't know." Sun Wu shook his head and said, "At first, he was chasing behind, but then he disappeared. He shot and killed the head of the house, and I escaped. Now he must have escaped!"
Qiu Yinghao said in a deep voice: "He probably hasn't run far yet. Everyone goes back to ride a horse and go looking for it separately. We must find that ruthless and unintentional beast!"
But Ma Xiulian suddenly said, "Let's wait!"
Everyone was about to go back to ride a horse to chase the wolf boy, but when they heard Ma Xiulian say this, they turned around, but saw Ma Xiulian staring at Qiu Yinghao, her eyes were very cold: "Uncle Qiu, my niece has something to ask you!"
Qiu Yinghao immediately said: "You said!"
"You have asked my father today and talked to him!" Ma Xiulian said slowly: "Is this the case?"
Many people saw this. At noon, the team rested. Qiu Yinghao did find Ma Zhengyi and said for a while, but no one knew what he said.
Qiu Yinghao frowned and asked back, "Xiu Lian, what do you mean?"
Ma Xiulian kept holding Ma Zhengyi's hand and did not let go, but her voice was very cold: "The niece just wanted to ask, what did you say to your father?"
Qiu Yinghao sighed, "Xiu Lian, don't you think the death of your senior brother is related to me, right?" He paused and nodded, "Yes, at noon, I did find my senior brother and spoke, but...!" He looked at Ma Xiu Lian with a strange look and said slowly, "But those words are not convenient to say to everyone."
Chu Huan kept pondering beside him, and finally spoke: "I want to figure out something. Tonight, the wind and sand are not small. The Ma family worked hard all day long, so why did he leave the camp at midnight and come here alone?"
When the camel guests heard this, they nodded slightly, and someone said, "Yes, why did the head of the family come out alone?" asked Sun Hui: "When the head of the family comes out, did you see anything strange?"
Sun Wu thought about it and shook his head, "It's nothing unusual. At first I thought that what I was in charge of was just... I just found a place to make some convenience. Later, after walking so far, I realized that something was wrong."
"In this way, Ma Dangjia left the camp and might be meeting someone here." Chu Huansuo frowned: "So do you know if he has an appointment tonight?"
Ma Xiulian stared at Qiu Yinghao, "Uncle Qiu, you have found your father today, and your niece just wanted to ask you, if Dad came here in the middle of the night, was it your appointment?"
Qiu Yinghao's face looked a little ugly. Judging from Ma Xiulian's meaning, Ma Zhengyi's death seemed to be tied to him. He frowned and said, "I have talked to my senior brother, but I didn't ask him out."
"What did you say to your father?" Ma Xiulian's eyes were cold.
Qiu Yinghao said lightly: "Niece Xiulian, do you really want me to explain it clearly?"
Ma Xiulian said: "You can't tell anyone if you have nothing to do. You have found your father at noon and you will leave the camp alone at night. Isn't it a coincidence?" In her grief, her voice was extremely cold.
A camel guest from the Ma family next to him felt that Ma Xiulian's attitude was a little wrong and whispered: "Xiulian, don't be confused, Qiu Dangjia... How could Qiu Dangjia hurt the Dangjia!"
Qiu Yinghao shook his head and smiled, "Why don't you? Xiulian, since you ask, if I don't say it, I will have a ghost in my heart." After a pause, he finally said, "I'm looking for my senior brother today for your marriage with Mingdao!"
Everyone around was stunned.
Ma Xiulian also frowned, and Qiu Yinghao said, "Xiulian, since you doubt me, then I have something to say. I decided to have a marriage with my senior brother many years ago. I thought there would be no problem with this marriage, but recently I found something wrong. I originally wanted to wait until I went back to discuss this matter, but I thought about it carefully these two days and would like to remind my senior brother earlier!"
Ma Xiulian's already pale face became more and more pale, and she reluctantly said, "What do you mean?"
"Although you haven't passed the door yet, our Qiu family's betrothal gift has been given long ago, and the birth date and horoscope have been replaced." Qiu Yinghao's face showed a little annoyance: "To be honest, you are already half of our Qiu family, and half of my daughter-in-law. Of course, I can't pretend to be invisible for some things." He shouted: "Mingdao, come out!"
Qiu Mingdao naturally walked out with a wry smile. Qiu Yinghao had already pointed at Qiu Mingdao and said to everyone: "Brothers, none of you are unclear about the marriage between Qiu and Ma families." Then he looked straight at Ma Xiulian seriously, "Xiulian, I'll ask you, have you ever regarded yourself as the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family? Are you loyal to Mingdao?"
Ma Xiulian stood up, and her hair was fluttering in the night wind. She was both sad and angry: "Why should I treat myself as the daughter-in-law of the Qiu family?" She glanced at Qiu Mingdao and sneered: "Why should I be loyal to him?"
Qiu Yinghao said lightly: "So, is that thing true?" He stared into Ma Xiulian's eyes: "You have already betrothed to my Qiu family, but in private, you have an affair with the wolf boy?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the expressions of the people around him were suddenly different. Some were a little surprised, while others shook their heads and sighed softly. Most of the surprised were camel tourists from the Qiu family, while those who shook their heads and sighed softly were the Ma family camel tourists from the Ma family.
Luoyan Town is naturally well-known for the marriage between Ma Xiulian and Qiu Mingdao, but not everyone knows that Ma Xiulian and the wolf boy have a crush on their own, but not everyone knows it. Among the camel guests of the Ma family, some people naturally see the clues, but they dare not say more. Today, Qiu Yinghao, under the pressure of Ma Xiulian, told this matter in public.
Ma Xiulian said calmly without any guilt: "Yes, I just like wolf boys, so what?"
"It is related to the face of the Qiu and Ma families. Is this a trivial matter?" Qiu Yinghao said coldly: "Who doesn't know about this marriage in Luoyan Town? But you have a crush on the wolf boy in private. If it is true at this time, how can my two families keep it in Luoyan Town?" Looking at Ma Zhengyi's corpse on the ground, he slowly said: "I have never known about this before. I went into the desert this time and heard about this. Since I know about this, I naturally have to discuss it with my senior brother, so as not to make mistakes with the wolf boy again and again, and cause uncontrollable disasters!"
Ma Xiulian bit her lips, and the blood on her lips made her lips red and terrible. She finally said, "You are looking for Daddy at noon for this?"
"Then what do you think?" Qiu Yinghao said angrily: "I thought I had the intention to harm my senior brother? I thought I had made the appointment to come here? Although I, Qiu Yinghao, is not a smart person or a stupid person, if I really have evil intentions and ask for the senior brother out, will you still see it openly? Take a step back, even if I made the appointment to come here, so what? Don't forget that the one who killed the senior brother is the wolf boy. Do you think that I, Qiu Yinghao, joined hands with the wolf boy to kill the senior brother together?"
When everyone around him heard this, they felt that this matter was unreasonable.
Qiu Yinghao waved, "Let's take a look around first to see if there are any other clues."
Everyone drew their swords, scattered and searched nearby.
Ma Xiulian was already depressed on the sand at this time. Seeing Ma Zhengyi's body motionless, tears couldn't help but rushing to the saxalot, grabbing Ma Zhengyi's hand and crying in grief.
Qiu Yinghao sighed, stepped forward and patted Ma Xiulian on the shoulder, and said softly: "Xiulian, Uncle Qiu doesn't blame you for being random, you feel sad, I know very well. What we have to do now is to find the wolf boy and find out the truth. Uncle Qiu promises you that if it is the wolf boy who really killed his senior brother, even if he runs to the ends of the world, I will catch him back and avenge his senior brother!"
Bai Xiaozi approached Chu Huan and whispered: "Sir, what should I do about this?"
Chu Huan stared at Ma Zhengyi's body, frowned, thinking.
He had no feelings for Ma Zhengyi. Chu Huan just felt strange that the wolf boy looked honest and simple, and he really didn't believe that the wolf boy was actually the murderer.
However, Sun Wei insisted that it was killed by the wolf boy, and it didn't seem like he was lying. He was really confused about what the inside story was.
He didn't know if the murder would have an impact on the mission.
Of course, this murder is very strange. Chu Huan is thinking about two questions now: one is why the wolf boy killed Ma Zhengyi, and the other is why Ma Zhengyi came here in the middle of the night.
These two points are the most strange and the most incomprehensible.
Seeing Chu Huan beside him, Qiu Yinghao walked up to him and said, "Mr. Chu, don't worry, I said before departure that the camel passengers have nothing to do with your mission, no matter their life or death, even if there is only one camel passenger left, he will take you out of the desert."
Chu Huan nodded slightly, and at this moment, he heard a voice coming from the west, saying, "Let's see, there's something here..."
As soon as the voice came out, Qiu Yinghao was the first to react and quickly walked over there. Chu Huan was also stunned and followed him to the other side. The distance was not too far, and he saw two camel tourists squatting on a piece of sand.
Qiu Yinghao and Chu Huan approached and saw a wooden stake as thick as an arm on the sand, which was extremely conspicuous in the sand.
"From the boss Qiu, look." A camel guest stood up: "When we got here, we saw this wooden stake standing up here, and we didn't know what it was!"
Qiu Yinghao frowned, held the wooden stake in both hands, roared in a low voice, and pulled out the wooden stake. The wooden stake was buried in a large part of the sand and soil. There was actually a person who was so tall. Qiu Yinghao had already ordered: "Dig quickly and see what is below!"
