In the evening, after having dinner and chatting with Mr. Du for a while, Gu Jingxi and Meng Jinyao went back to the guest room.

After entering the guest room and just closing the door, Gu Jingxi said, "Ayao, I'm going out for a while. If you feel sleepy, go to bed first. You don't have to wait for me."

Meng Jinyao knew the purpose of his trip and nodded gently: "Husband, be careful."

Gu Jingxi was a cautious person, so he disguised himself slightly, put on a set of black clothes, covered his face, looked around, saw no one around, and climbed over the wall to go out.

Meng Jinyao watched helplessly as he jumped onto the wall and then disappeared on top of the wall. She couldn't help but wonder how he jumped up.

After leaving the county government office, Gu Jingxi went to a small house in the east of the city. It was a house he asked Fang Xuan and Fang Ce to rent for the convenience of discussing matters or for other purposes.

Fang Xuan and Fang Ce did a good job. Fang Ce had brought back the parents of the girl who was first raped and then killed, and let them live in this house. They were not allowed to see anyone, and they were not allowed to go out. I left the sad place of Deqing County before, but I didn't go far away, I just went to the next county.

After Gu Jingxi learned about it, he nodded with satisfaction. The girl was raped and then killed. This case might be a breakthrough. He took it very seriously, but he was not in a hurry to meet the girl's parents.

He met Fang Xuan first and asked directly: "Fang Xuan, how did you go about the things I asked you to investigate?"

Fang Xuan explained the matter calmly: "Master Hou, after checking, the reason why Mr. Li has an old relationship with that girl is because the girl is good at embroidery. Suddenly one day Mr. Li saw her providing embroidery for his shop. If she likes her, he introduces her to Miss Li, Mr. Li’s sister, who specializes in making clothes for Miss Li.”

"This girl has a good appearance and a unique temperament. Mr. Li likes her deeply and wants to take her as his concubine. This matter has been approved by Mr. Li's elders and he is ready to ask the matchmaker to tell the girl's parents. As a result, the girl He was raped first and then killed. Before that, Mr. Li had no grudges with the girl and treated each other with courtesy when they met."

Gu Jingxi frowned. It didn't sound like there was anything wrong with it. After checking for so long, it was still the same as what he knew before. It seemed that it really had nothing to do with Mr. Li. However, based on years of experience in handling cases, he felt that the matter was not that simple and there were still loopholes in the case. , even though the girl’s brother had already confessed, he asked: “Besides this, is there anything else?”

Fang Xuan nodded slightly and continued: "But there is a coincidence. The girl and her neighbor's son died on the same day. The young man's condition had already improved, and the doctor said that he would be fine if he rested for a while. But for some reason, his illness suddenly worsened and he died the next day. The young man was found dead in the morning, and the girl went out in the afternoon and did not come back. When she was found, she had been raped first. He was killed, and was discovered by the girl’s brother when he went out to look for her.”

When Gu Jingxi heard the new clue, his eyes lit up, he thought for a moment, and then asked, "What's the relationship between the young man and this girl?"

Fang Xuan replied: "They grew up together as childhood sweethearts and have a very good relationship."

After hearing this, Gu Jingxi had a vague suspicion in his heart.

Maybe the girl had a sweetheart who didn't want to marry Mr. Li, and the sweetheart was the young man who died. Mr. Li found out and murdered the young man. The girl guessed the reason and went to question Mr. Li. The two had a dispute. In the end, Mr. Li hated him because of his love. , raped the girl and killed her in anger.

However, these are just his preliminary guesses.

After a while, Gu Jingxi asked again: "What are they called?"

Fang Xuan replied: "That girl's name is Shen Qinghe, her brother's name is Shen Qingshan, and the neighbor's son is named Yang Yingjie, and Mr. Li's name is Li Xin."

Gu Jingxi nodded and ordered: "Go and bring those parents over. I have something to ask them."

Fang Xuan responded and stepped back to bring the middle-aged couple over. The couple lost their only child, and the child was raped and then killed by his adopted son. They suffered a heavy blow. He is only in his thirties, but he already looks like he is in his forties.

When the couple was brought back, they were told by Fang Ce that officials from the court came to investigate the death of their child. They were confused and the case was closed. Their daughter was killed by their adopted son. Why did they investigate again?

When the couple arrived at the hall, they saw the young man with outstanding appearance. His black clothes made the man look dignified. They knelt down and saluted: "The grassroots/people's wife has seen you."

Gu Jingxi said warmly: "No need to be polite, just sit down and talk first. I have something to ask you."

Hearing this, the couple was flattered.

Father Shen waved his hands quickly: "No, no need, sir, we can just stand. If you have any questions, just ask them. We will tell you the truth."

Gu Jingxi didn't force it, and immediately asked: "I heard that you have ever thought about matching your biological daughter and adopted son?"

When Shen's mother heard this, she felt filled with regret and said angrily: "We were the ones who lured the wolf into the house. We should not have saved this beast in the first place and raised this beast up! At first we thought we only had one daughter, but we were reluctant to marry someone else. , just wanted to bring them together, but her daughter was not happy, saying that she regarded Qingshan as her brother, so she gave up. But Qingshan liked Qinghe, and he became depressed after being rejected by Qinghe. Within a few days, something happened to Qinghe. "

Gu Jingxi asked again: "Does Miss Shen like Yang Yingjie?"

As soon as these words came out, both Father Shen and Mother Shen were stunned and shook their heads subconsciously.

Father Shen said: "The two children of Yingjie and Cao Min's family grew up together, just like brothers and sisters. Qinghe treats Qingshan like his own brother, and he definitely has no other thoughts towards Yingjie. Yingjie is a few months younger than her. He treats Yingjie as his younger brother."

Gu Jingxi said: "But Yang Yingjie and Miss Shen died on the same day."

Mother Shen's eyes were wet, and she said sadly: "Yes, these two children died on the same day. God is unfair. Our Shen family and Yang family did not commit any sin, but our only child died on the same day. Yingjie's child He was fine at first, but for some reason his condition suddenly worsened, and our poor Qinghe was also harmed by that beast."

Father Shen was extremely sad when he recalled what happened that day. That day, he helped the Yang family handle the funeral affairs of Yingjie's child. Near evening, the news of his child's death also came, and the couple fainted on the spot.

Gu Jingxi said calmly: "Miss Shen's body appeared in the Li family's villa. There was only a deaf-mute couple and their two children in charge of the villa. On the day of the incident, their children all went out to do shopping. Then For a deaf-mute couple, the mute husband was injured, and the deaf wife was busy in the kitchen. When she came out, she saw your adopted son Shen Qingshan holding the body of Miss Shen, and the mute servant fainted on the ground."

Hearing this, Father Shen nodded: "He originally wanted to blame Mr. Li for Qinghe's death and secretly threw Qinghe's body into the Li family's small courtyard. Unexpectedly, the servant saw Qinghe's body. I wanted to find someone, but the beast was afraid and wanted to kill someone to silence him, but he failed. The mute servant did not die. At first, he refused to admit that he had framed the crime, and finally he admitted it. My lord, the case has been closed, why do you want to do it again? check?"
