Conan's physique? The Crown Princess is involved in a murder case again
Chapter 59 Qionghua's Sister
"Do you suspect Liu Duankun?" Lu Xu asked.
"I can't say I'm suspicious, but from a woman's emotional perspective, Liu Duankun is indeed more worthy of attention. After all, a woman who has fallen into prostitution may not value money as much as a close friend."
Lu Xu did not comment and turned to look at Magistrate Song.
Official Song just took a sip of tea and did not comment on whether what they said was right or wrong. Instead, he thought for a moment and then assigned the task.
"The murderer is so rampant, we can't just sit there and wait for death. Lord Lu and Tianhe will continue to investigate the craftsman and 'Renhe'. As for Fangniang's matter, we have to trouble Princess Yongyi and Miss Xu Qi to deal with it. After all, there are only big men in the government office, and it is a bit inconvenient to deal with a little girl."
"Don't worry, Magistrate Song, we will definitely get this done!"
……
An hour later, Xu Xingyin and Tian Tian changed into ordinary people's clothes, stood outside a slightly dilapidated courtyard, carefully checked the address given by Song Tuiguan, and only knocked on the door after confirming that it was correct.
The person who came to open the door was a girl with an oval face. She stared at the two of them for a moment, and before she could ask anything, Xu Xingyin spoke first.
"Miss Fangniang, two servants are here on Master Liu's orders to give you some money."
Fang Niang was stunned when she heard this, and it took her a while to react.
"Thank you, ladies, for thanking my brother-in-law for me."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xingyin looked at Tian Tian silently, then responded with a respectful smile.
"Miss, you are too polite. With Miss Fangniang's reaction, we thought we were in the wrong place."
Fangniang smiled apologetically and then explained.
"Please don't blame me, I used to send you here personally, but this is the first time I've seen such a situation, so I'm sorry for neglecting you two."
"We came here today to explain this matter to you, young lady. Could you please help me?"
"Of course." Fang Niang stepped aside to make way for him. "You are guests. Please come in."
The two men nodded and went inside, following Fang Niang into the main hall. Seeing Fang Niang turn around to make tea, the two men hurriedly grabbed her.
Tian Tian always speaks directly, and this time is no exception.
"Fang Niang, your sister Qionghua was murdered a month ago. We were sent by Shuntian Prefecture to investigate the case."
Fang Niang was stunned at first, then she spoke loudly.
"I don't understand what you are talking about. You two lied first and then cursed my sister. Since you two don't come here with good intentions, please leave! Otherwise, don't blame me for sending you to the authorities!"
Seeing this, Xu Xingyin hurriedly grabbed Tian Tian and whispered.
"Fang Niang, we lied to you just now, but we had no choice. I hope you can forgive us. As for Qionghua's death, it is indeed the truth. I know it is difficult for you to accept it for the time being, but now is not the time to indulge in grief. Qionghua was brutally murdered, and now the murderer is at large. How can you let her rest in peace!"
Having said this, Fangniang's emotions had become calmer than before.
Seeing her face full of tears, Xu Xingyin quickly handed her a handkerchief and took out the token of Shuntian Prefecture to prove her identity.
"Don't you want to avenge her?" Xu Xingyin continued to persuade, "We suspect that the murderer is Liu Duankun."
"How is that possible!" Fang Niang retorted loudly, "My brother-in-law would never hurt my sister."
"Fang Niang, we have no evidence. We will not randomly implicate Liu Duankun. Since we dare to say this, it means we have some evidence. If you want to avenge Qionghua, please tell us what you know about Liu Duankun."
Although Xu Xingyin had said this, Fang Niang was still a little hesitant.
Although it is understandable that they have not yet recovered from the pain of losing their sister, they really don't have that much time to waste with Fang Niang.
Xu Xingyin winked at Tian Tian, and Tian Tian understood and gave him a push at the right time.
"Qionghua fell into prostitution mainly because she wanted to support her young sister. If even you don't look down on her and think she deserves to die, then why are we in Shuntian Prefecture making such a fuss?"
"That's not the case!"
Fang Niang was so stimulated by this that she finally stopped hesitating and told the two of them all the news she knew.
According to Fang Niang, Liu Duankun received favor from Qionghua when he went to Beijing to take the imperial examination, and he has taken good care of Qionghua since then.
Qionghua was a wanderer, and she always had an inexplicable yearning for scholars like Liu Duankun.
Qionghua loved Liu Duankun's talent, and Liu Duankun liked Qionghua's beauty, and after a few encounters, they decided to spend their lives together.
Although Liu Duankun liked Qionghua, he never made their relationship public for fear of affecting his career.
Liu Duankun meant to redeem Qionghua after his career went smoothly and arrange a clean identity for her, and then the two of them could get married legitimately.
Qionghua chose to believe Liu Duankun without any doubt and waited for so many years.
On the first and fifteenth day of every month, Qionghua and Liu Duankun would go to Fangniang's place for a small gathering. Qionghua often said that this was where she had the happiest times.
Some time ago, Liu Duankun told them that he had got a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
As long as the matter is successful, he can redeem Qionghua and take them to live a good life together.
Because of this incident, Fang Niang was very happy for Qionghua for a while, but she didn't want to...
There will be no day to meet each other again.
Perhaps she was recalling the scene of their meeting that day. By the end of her speech, Fang Niang could no longer control her emotions and burst into tears. The two men consoled her for a long time before she slowly calmed down.
Thinking about the cause and effect, Xu Xingyin had a preliminary guess in his mind.
Liu Duankun’s “once-in-a-lifetime opportunity” might be related to this serial murder case.
If Xu Xingyin originally only suspected Liu Duankun, then now Xu Xingyin could almost conclude that the murderer was Liu Duankun.
Because only Liu Duankun could make Qionghua willingly take the blame.
If Xu Xingyin remembered correctly, Qionghua finally changed her confession because she was found to be pregnant.
Since Qionghua has such a relationship with Liu Duankun, her relationship with Tian Zitao is probably just a casual affair, and she definitely does not want to get pregnant with Tian Zitao's child.
In this case, Qionghua's final rebuttal was probably because she wanted to protect her and Liu Duankun's child!
It's sad that poor Qionghua was still thinking about Liu Duankun before she died, but Liu Duankun was so cruel that he sent her to the underworld with his own hands.
But Liu Duankun was just a scholar, how could he have the strength to kill so many people?
Strange, so strange.
Xu Xingyin was unable to fully understand the matter for a moment, so he stopped dwelling on it and asked Fang Niang for some other information.
Then he carefully reminded Fangniang to be careful and safe, and not to let the thieves succeed again and stay away any longer.
