Chapter 17 The lost gold

"The reason is actually very simple. There is something wrong with this Aleqiu."

At the back of the wooden mansion, the graceful and luxurious old lady Luo Shining sat on the main seat, looking at Tuba below with indifferent eyes.

"No..." Tuba explained, "If Aleqiu hadn't blocked the sharp blade with his body on the night of the Torch Festival, I'm afraid Young Master Mu Zeng would have..."

"Block the sharp blade?" Luo Zhining smiled and said to himself, "But why didn't the killers stab the knife at that time? Could it be because a young girl who did not hesitate to save her life touched them? So you spared her life? Or is it because this girl knew those killers before?"

"This..." Tuba nodded, agreeing with Luo Shining's words.

"It got even weirder after that..." Luo Shining continued, "Alqiu was taken away by the killer, but those killers didn't kill her, but let her come back safe and sound! These killers are too kind, right? "

"But Aleqiu did indeed save Young Master Mu Zeng."

"Yes, she did save Mu Zeng, but don't you think this is more like a play that has been arranged? Save Mu Zeng, get Mu Zeng's gratitude, and then justifiably take it to the next level!"

"What do you mean...Aleqiu is actually a group with those killers, and their purpose is to break into the Mufu?" Tuba said in surprise.

Luo Zhining smiled without saying a word, and then asked, "Where's that guard? It's the guard who was arrested with Aleqiu."

"Oh, his name is Jiang Yu. He's been here just a few days ago. He's a newly recruited guard from our Mufu. Old lady, do you suspect him..." Tuba asked.

"No, if he really had something to do with those killers, he wouldn't have left Mu Zeng to save Aleqiu at that time."

"What do you mean, old lady?"

"Look again, foxes always show their tails..."

At night, Jiang Yu walked into the room with a bowl of chicken soup.

In front of the desk, Aleqiu was still carefully looking at the ledger of the gold mine.

"You've been sitting all day, aren't you tired?" Jiang Yu put the chicken soup on the table and asked Aleqiu.

As an excellent citizen in the age of artificial intelligence, Jiang Yu and other modern people have the same flaw - unable to concentrate on reading books!

In that era of digitized knowledge and fragmented reading, Jiang Yu said that it would be too embarrassing to let him stare at books for a day without moving.

Therefore, although he said he would help Aleqiu reconcile the accounts, he actually gave up after less than an hour.

"I'm not tired, I feel okay..." Aleqiu raised his head and smiled slightly, noticing the chicken soup brought by Jiang Yu, and asked, "This is..."

"Oh, I had nothing to do, so I went to the uncle in the kitchen to learn how to make soup. I thought you didn't have anything to eat today, so I made a bowl and brought it here." Jiang Yu replied, he originally wanted to practice. , but on second thought, he felt that life couldn't be so boring, he had to find something to do.

"Thank you...then I'll...you're welcome?"

Saying that, Aleqiu picked up the spoon beside him.

"Huh?" After taking two sips, Aleqiu frowned.

"What's wrong? Is there a problem?" Jiang Yu asked nervously.

"Well, there's something wrong with this ledger!" Aleqiu nodded, turned the ledger to Jiang Yu, and said, "Look, there's something wrong with the whereabouts of this gold..."

As soon as she finished speaking, Aleqiu laughed at herself, she was really busy, Jiang Yu was just a bodyguard, how could he understand Han Chinese?

"Indeed, the whereabouts of the gold is not written on it at all." Jiang Yu glanced at the ledger, nodded in response, and then flipped through the ledger under Aleqiu's surprised eyes.

"No! It's not that the whereabouts are unknown! It's being torn up!" Jiang Yu said, pointing to a missing page in the ledger.

"What?" Aleqiu hurriedly took it over and glanced at it, with a solemn expression, "Before the account book was managed by Mrs. Nolan, Mu Kun's second mother, this gold..."

"It should be for her lover!" Jiang Yu continued, "Nolan was executed on charges of adultery, so the gold is most likely in the hands of her lover, and the missing piece of paper recorded it. That's where the gold goes!"

"It's a little strange," Aleqiu continued. "After Mrs. Nolan's death, her and her lover's room were searched, but neither the gold nor the missing piece of paper in the ledger was found."

"Such an important thing..." Jiang Yu and Aleqiu looked at each other, "Isn't it still on her?"

"On whom?" Mu Zeng came in and asked.

"Master Mu Zeng." Aleqiu stepped forward to say hello.

"Call me Mu Zeng..." Mu Zeng waved to Aleqiu, then looked at Jiang Yu and said, "Jiang Guard is also here... By the way, what did you say just now? What on your body?"

"this..."

Late at night, the mountain behind Mufu.

"By the way, Master Mu Kun, why are you here too?" Jiang Yu asked, looking at Mu Kun who was dressed in black.

After he and Aleqiu told Mu Zeng about the gold, the three immediately made an important decision-opening the tomb for an autopsy!

The whereabouts of the gold is unknown and the ledger is missing, all of which are telling them that there seems to be some great secret hidden behind it.

It's just Mukun...

"What? What do you mean?" Mu Kun, who has developed limbs and a simple mind, glared at Jiang Yu, "Why can't I come if you can come?"

"No, I just think this is Master Mu Kun's second mother after all..."

"Okay, no need to say any more!" Mu Kun interrupted Jiang Yu with a wave of his hand, "I'm here to verify one thing..."

"Huh?" Mu Zeng, who was beside him, looked over.

"Don't look at me like that, I can't tell right now."

"Okay, don't mess around, let's dig..." Jiang Yu reminded.

"Yeah!" Mu Kun nodded, looking at Nolan's grave in front of him, "Second Mother, offended!"

Saying that, he shoveled the hoe.

Mu Kun lived up to the title of "Little Leopard in the Snow Mountain". He waved his hoe three or two times and dug up the grave. After two or three times, Jiang Yu saw the straw mat wrapped around Nolan's body.

"Hoo~" Putting the hoe down, Mu Kun took a deep breath, "Second Mother, I've offended you!"

After saying that, he turned the straw mat up.

"what?!"

However, inside the straw mat... there was no Nolan's body at all!

"how so..."

Back in the room, Aleqiu kept walking back and forth in front of the desk with a very solemn expression.

"145, 146, 147..."

Jiang Yu sat aside and counted the laps Aleqiu walked back and forth.

The disappearance of Nolan's body is no trivial matter. If they were just guessing before, now they can almost be sure that there must be some conspiracy behind it that they don't know!

"Jiang Yu! I need you to do me a favor!"

Suddenly, Aleqiu stopped circling and looked at Jiang Yu with pleading eyes.

"I want you to help me spy on someone!"
