Chapter 624
Guo Qishuai carefully took out the things in the old woman's hand and said, "This is a jade pendant, and the pattern on the jade pendant is a rabbit."

"Brother, the old woman tore off this jade pendant before she died. We only need to find the owner of this jade pendant to find the murderer."

"You're right, but now, we don't know each other well, so it might not be easy to find the owner of the jade pendant."

"We can ask, the people in this alley must know."

Guo Qishuai took the jade pendant and walked out of Zou Haiping's house together with Guo Pingping. They first went to the old woman's east neighbor.

Guo Pingping went up to knock on the door. After knocking a few times, a bearded man ran out of the house. While he was getting dressed, he cursed and said, "Knock, knock, knock, what? Big?" It’s so early in the morning that I can’t even sleep.”

"Uncle, I'm sorry to bother you, we have something to ask you."

"Ask your uncle, I don't know anything, get out!"

Guo Pingping looked at Guo Qishui aggrievedly. Guo Qishui opened the door with his palm and came to the bearded man like a gust of wind.

Guo Qishuai reached out and grabbed the bearded man's throat, and said angrily, "Say what you just said again?"

The bearded man was trembling with fright, and said: "Yes, I'm sorry, sir, I said something wrong just now, please forgive me."

Guo Qishuai let him go and said, "Let me ask you, where did Zou Haiping next door go?"

The bearded man thought for a while and said, "Zou Haiping is my brother, and my name is Zou Haiyang."

"You are Zou Haiyang?"

Zou Haiyang shivered in fright and said, "I...I am Zou Haiyang."

Guo Qishui punched him in the heart and said angrily: "Do you know why I hit you?"

Zou Haiyang was hit by Guo Qishui and flew back three meters. The pain was so painful that he felt like his ribs were about to be broken.

"Master, spare me, spare me. I don't know what I did wrong, you want to hit me?"

"Let me ask you, where is your mother now?"

"Master, you are asking this, my mother has been dead for three years."

Guo Qishuai was surprised, and said, "Your mother has been dead for three years?"

"Isn't it? My mother died of typhoid fever. How can I lie to you about this?"

Guo Pingping said: "You are lying, isn't Zou Haiping's mother your mother?"

Zou Haiping said aggrievedly: "Girl, as you said, although Zou Haiping is my eldest brother, Zou Haiping's mother is not my mother."

"Nonsense, since Zou Haiping is your elder brother, why isn't his mother your mother?"

"Zou Haiping had been doing business in the capital before. Later, because of the river flooding, his cargo capsized and he lost hundreds of thousands of taels of silver to his customers. He came back without a penny. Only after he came back did he know It turns out that our parents are no longer here.”

"He came back and wanted to live in my house, but my house was built by me and my wife bit by bit. He wanted to live in my house, but I definitely didn't want to. Zou Haiping wanted to rent a house in the county, but he had no money at all. In the end, Aunt Wang next door was kind-hearted and said that she had no son or daughter. As long as she was willing to provide her with retirement, Aunt Wang was willing to give the house to my brother after a hundred years. My brother was so grateful that he recognized Aunt Wang. As a mother, therefore, Aunt Wang is my brother's mother, not mine."

Guo Pingping felt that the relationship was really complicated, and said: "So it's like this, no wonder Zou Haiping's mother is starving to death, so you don't want to go and see."

"Aunt Wang is not my own mother, what do I think she is doing?"

Guo Qishuai said: "It doesn't matter whether you look at Mrs. Wang or not. Let me ask you, have you seen Zou Haiping since last night?"

Zou Haiyang shook his head and said: "Let me tell you the truth. Although Zou Haiping and I are brothers, our relationship is not good, so his whereabouts have nothing to do with me. If you want to know about Zou Haiping's whereabouts, I’m afraid I just found the wrong person.”

Guo Qishuai said: "Don't tell me about Zou Haiping in advance, let me ask you, someone went to Mrs. Wang's house to make trouble this morning, do you know?"

"I went to bed very late last night, and you just woke me up this morning. I really don't know what happened to her house."

Guo Pingping said: "Aunt Wang was beaten to death, do you know who did it?"

Zou Haiyang said in surprise: "What? Aunt Wang was beaten to death? Ouch, this is really unbelievable. Aunt Wang has never offended anyone, who could be so cruel as to beat Aunt Wang to death? Ouch, I said, since you know about it, report it immediately!"

Guo Qishuai said: "Report the crime? Well, you go and report the crime."

"Why should I report the crime? You discovered him."

"We have other things to do and don't want to deal with the government, so it's better for you to report this case."

"I won't report it. The matter with the government is more troublesome. I said I found the body. When the government asked, I said something wrong. I'm afraid I will be implicated."

Guo Qishuai took out 50 taels of silver and said, "If you report the crime, this silver will be yours."

Zou Haiyang stared wide-eyed, grabbed the silver in his hands, and said, "If you have money, you can talk, I can help you with that."

"Let me ask you now, do you know anyone in your county whose surname has the word 'Xi' in it this time?"

"Simon Crane?"

"Who is Ximen Crane?"

"Ximenhe is a well-known bastard in Yangmei County. His father is Ximendang, the magistrate of Yangmei County. Ximenhe often collects protection money in Yangmei County by virtue of his father's power. Ximen's mansion raises a large group of thugs from all over the world. If you don’t like anyone, it’s just a matter of one sentence, and you can kill them.”

"Isn't murder a crime?"

"With the protection of his father, what is he afraid to do? I said, if the death of Mrs. Wang has something to do with Ximenhe, then you should take back the 50 taels of silver. I really dare not take this case." report."

Guo Pingping said: "You are a reporter, not a murderer, what are you afraid of?"

"Why am I not afraid? No one knows who this Ximendang is. If he says you are a murderer, you are a murderer. Uncle, aunt, please forgive me. I really dare not report this case."

Guo Qishuai took back the 50 taels of silver and said, "Okay, since you dare not do it, then I will take the money away."

Zou Haiyang was still very reluctant, but when he thought of Ximendang, he felt that the money was not lost.

After Guo Pingping followed Guo Qishui out of Zou Haiyang's house, Guo Pingping said, "Brother, can we conclude that Ximen He is the suspect?"

"Ximen Crane is the most suspected, let's go, let's go find Ximen Crane."

Guo Pingping coughed twice and took two steps, her head was a little dizzy.

Guo Qishuai was particularly worried. He immediately supported Guo Pingping and said, "Little sister, what's wrong with you?"

"Brother, I don't know why? My head feels very dizzy."

Guo Pingping coughed again.

Guo Qishuai quickly touched her forehead with his hand, worried: "Your forehead is so hot, is it sick?"
