Chapter 777 Su Wuming 76
Chu Huan stood beside him, leaning forward slightly. A faint fragrance drifted into Su Wuming's nostrils, making his heart flutter.
"Xijun is right." Su Wuming finally spoke: "The ink here is indeed darker than other places, and the brushstrokes are also different, as if it was added later."
"Was that modified by Zhang Xuan?"
"It shouldn't be, and these messy bamboos should be used to cover up the previous ones." Pei Xijun said affirmatively, staring at the scroll with sharp eyes, as if he wanted to see through the layers of ink.
Lu Lingfeng was still confused and scratched his head: "Obstruct? What are you obstructing? What else is there in this painting besides bamboo?"
Chu Hua also came over curiously: "Xijun, what did you see?"
Pei Xijun's slender fingers slid gently across the scroll, finally stopping at the place where the bamboo leaves were the most luxuriant.
"Look, although the shape of the bamboo leaves is realistic, it is too regular, as if it was done intentionally. I think the person being blocked is a person."
"People?" Lu Lingfeng widened his eyes, as if he had heard something out of the ordinary.
"Yes, a running person." Pei Xijun said with certainty, as if he had already seen the figure hidden under the bamboo leaves.
Lu Lingfeng was still confused, pointing at the densely packed bamboo leaves on the scroll: "People? Where are they? Why can't I see them?"
He even suspected that Pei Xijun was deliberately playing a trick on him. After all, no matter how he looked at it, it was just an ordinary clump of bamboo.
Lu Lingfeng stared at the bamboo in the painting as if he wanted to stare a hole in it.
"Xijun, it's not that I don't believe you, but how can you see so many things in this painting?" He scratched his head, looking puzzled.
Xijun smiled slightly and said with confidence: "I can draw it and restore the obscured part."
She paused, then added, “So you’ll understand.”
Xijun took another piece of paper and started. He held the brush with his slender fingers, dipped it in ink, thought for a moment, and then began to sketch on the paper.
She looked focused while painting, with a hint of seriousness between her eyebrows, as if the whole world had disappeared, leaving only the drawing paper in front of her and the brush in her hand.
Chu Hua wanted to move closer to take a look out of curiosity, but Su Wuming gently pulled her sleeve.
"Don't worry." Su Wuming whispered in her ear, "Wait until Xijun finishes painting, and then we'll look at it together."
Chu Hua felt his warm breath, her cheeks flushed slightly, and her heartbeat quickened. She nodded gently, and stood obediently beside Su Wuming, waiting for Xijun to finish her painting.
Time passed minute by minute, Xijun's pen tip flew on the paper, outlining lines, gradually forming a complete picture.
Finally, Xijun put down the brush in his hand, breathed a sigh of relief, and showed a satisfied smile.
"Okay." She showed the drawing paper to everyone: "This is the part that is blocked."
Everyone quickly gathered around, all eyes fixed on the drawing paper.
On the drawing paper, there was a figure running, with a nimble figure and a bold posture.
Lu Lingfeng slapped his thigh suddenly, with a tone of surprise and sudden enlightenment: "It's Ouyang Quan! I was wondering why this figure looks so familiar!"
……
In the room, Chu Hua was lying on the bed bored, with a cell phone in her hand, watching a TV series with great interest.
A costume detective drama was playing on the screen. The plot was thrilling and Chu Hua watched it attentively, exclaiming "Wow" from time to time.
"This male lead is so handsome! His method of solving cases, wow, compared with my Su Su, it's nothing." Chu Hua talked to herself as she watched, and did not forget to praise her own Su Wuming.
Chu Hua looked at it and talked to herself, not forgetting to praise her own Su Wuming. She turned over and made a heart shape with her hands to the air.
"Susu, you are my idol! You are a genius at solving cases, and you are also gentle and considerate..."
On the screen, the infatuated male second sacrificed himself heroically while blocking the sword for the female lead, and the background music was sad and mournful. Chu Hua was crying and sobbing, she was more sad than if her own father had died.
“Wow, wow, wow… It’s so tragic! It’s so tragic! Why do you treat the second male lead like this! He’s so nice!” Chu Huan cried so hard that she was out of breath. Her face was covered with tears, and she looked like a little kitten.
There was finally some progress in Su Wuming's case. In order to investigate the case, he hardly met the little girl these days, and he felt quite guilty.
When Su Wuming thought of Chu Huan's pretty and lovely face, he could no longer sit still and immediately got up to find her.
When Su Wuming reached the door of Chu Hua's room, he heard crying. His heart skipped a beat and he thought to himself, "Oh no! Could something have happened to the little girl?" He didn't care about anything else and hurriedly pushed the door open.
I saw Chu Huan lying on the bed, her shoulders heaving, crying like a wronged little rabbit.
Su Wuming panicked immediately, hurriedly walked to the bed, patted her back gently, and asked softly: "Huan'er, what's wrong? Who bullied you?"
When Chu Huan heard Su Wuming's voice, she cried even harder and threw herself into his arms, hugged his waist tightly, and cried out breathlessly: "Wuwuwu...Susu, he's dead! He's dead!"
Su Wuming was confused by her crying and had no idea what was going on. He gently stroked Chu Huan's hair and patiently coaxed her, "Huan'er, stop crying. Tell me slowly, who died?"
Chu Huan sobbed and raised her head from Su Wuming's arms. She looked at him with tearful eyes and pointed at the phone screen and said, "He...he's dead..."
Su Wuming looked in the direction her finger pointed and saw a costume drama playing on the phone screen. A man in white clothes was lying on the ground with a sword stuck in his chest and blood all over him. He looked deader than dead.
Su Wuming looked at the dead man in white on the screen, then looked at Chu Hua who was crying, and felt mixed emotions. He had lived for more than 30 years, what kind of murder had he not seen?
But now, he was actually stumped by the death in a play.
"Huan'er, this... this is just a show." Su Wuming said tentatively, with a hint of helplessness in his tone: "It's fake, not real."
"Wow...but he died such a tragic death!" Chu Hua cried even harder: "He was such a good person, why did he have to die!"
Su Wuming looked at her crying so sadly. He sighed softly, hugged her in his arms, and comforted her softly: "Okay, okay, don't cry, it's all fake, it's all fake..."
Chu Huan gradually stopped crying, raised her head from Su Wuming's arms, looked at him with tearful eyes, sniffed, and asked, "Su Su, where do people go after they die?"
Su Wuming was stunned for a moment. He had never thought about this question. As a detective expert, he was used to seeing life and death, but he had never thought about the meaning of death.
"perhaps……"
Su Wuming pondered for a moment and said slowly: "Maybe I will go to another world, a world without pain and sadness."
Chu Hua blinked and asked curiously, "What does the other world look like?"
Su Wuming looked at her innocent eyes, and his heart moved. Suddenly, a picture appeared in his mind: he and Chu Huan were holding hands, walking on a meadow full of flowers, the sun shining on their bodies, warm, and the breeze blew, bringing bursts of flower fragrance...
Su Wuming's mouth corners slightly raised, his eyes as gentle as water: "Maybe it's like we are now, together, never apart."
"Never separate..." Chu Hua murmured this sentence, and an inexplicable feeling of being touched surged in her heart. Although she knew that this was just what Su Wuming said to comfort her, she still couldn't help wanting to believe it and wanted to grasp this illusory promise.
Su Wuming looked at Chu Hua's innocent appearance, and his heart softened. He gently hugged her tightly, resting his chin on the top of her head, and feeling the faint fragrance on her body.
"Huan'er, don't cry." Su Wuming hugged Chu Huan gently, "I'll take you to eat delicious food tonight, okay? The governor said that a pair of brothers passed the imperial examination and specially invited us to dinner."
Chu Hua sniffed and looked at him with tearful eyes: "Really? What delicious food is it?"
Su Wuming smiled and scratched her nose: "You'll know when you go there. I guarantee you've never eaten it."
"Yeah!" Chu Hua burst into laughter and nodded vigorously.
The sunset glowed like rouge, and the lake of Xie Mansion was sparkling, reflecting the gorgeous scenery. Su Wuming brought Chu Hua to the riverside, where a small boat was quietly moored.
"Huan'er, the reception pavilion of the Xie Mansion is on the island in the middle of the lake. We have to row the boat there." Su Wuming pointed at the pavilion in the middle of the lake, with a barely perceptible excitement in his tone.
Chu Hua was as excited as a little bird, jumping onto the boat. Su Wuming was behind her, smiling helplessly, and holding her up with his hand, fearing that she would accidentally fall into the lake.
"Huan'er, be careful."
The boat rocked gently, carrying the two people to the center of the lake. Chu Hua looked around curiously, reaching out to touch the lake water from time to time, and the splashing water droplets shone with golden light in the sunset. "Su Su, look, the water is so clear!"
She exclaimed in surprise as if she had discovered a new world.
Su Wuming followed her gaze. The lake water was so clear that he could clearly see the fish and water plants at the bottom of the lake. The corners of his mouth slightly raised, his eyes as gentle as water: "Well, it's beautiful."
On another boat, Lu Lingfeng looked at the two of them being affectionate with each other and couldn't help but curl his lips: "Su Wuming, you are too clingy, aren't you? If someone doesn't know, I would think you two are newlyweds."
Su Wuming couldn't help but raise his lips and smiled proudly. He gently paddled the boat, and the boat created ripples on the calm lake.
"Lu Lingfeng, what you said is really nice to hear. After knowing you for so long, I finally heard you speak a human word." Su Wuming joked with a smile.
