Northern River Sword

Qiu Guangcheng stood outside the kitchen, his face pale.Blood was spattered on the threshold of the kitchen, and the color of the blood was a little black. It was obvious that the person had been dead for a while.At noon in midsummer, the air was scorching hot, and the blood was steaming to a stench that was unbearable.

The doctor bravely stepped forward to examine the corpse, shook his head and said, "It's hopeless."

Su Yi leaned forward to look, and said, "Did he commit suicide? Why did he suddenly commit suicide? Did Master Qiu treat him badly, or was he beaten by his wife? It couldn't be that he committed suicide by committing poison and fearing crime? His death , wouldn't it make people suspect that he was the one who threw the poison?"

Qiu Guangcheng said: "This man is a famous chef I invited from Baiyun Tower, and his skills are very good. I have always treated him very politely, and the monthly payment is more generous than others. He is always cheerful, how could he commit suicide! "

Xue Hongliao unbuttoned the corpse's clothes and looked at the wound, then opened his hands and looked at it, then suddenly frowned and said, "This man didn't commit suicide."

Everyone was a little surprised, Su Yi said: "He is holding a knife in his hand, why didn't he commit suicide?"

Xue Hongliao pointed to the corpse and said: "There are two fatal wounds on his body, one is the knife wound on the chest, and the other is the knife wound on the neck. This is completely unreasonable. Most people want to commit suicide, and even a single knife may not be able to cut it off." , not to mention two knives."

When Su Yijing mentioned something to her, she suddenly became enlightened, her heart was full of admiration, and she said loudly: "That's right, Chief Xue is right!"

Xue Hongliao said: "Another important point is that the chef's left hand is full of calluses, but his right hand is smooth in comparison. All the oil, salt and condiments in the kitchen are also placed on the right side to facilitate the movement of his left hand. It can be seen that he He is left-handed. It is very unreasonable for a left-handed person to commit suicide with a knife in his right hand. Adding up several doubts, it can be speculated that someone killed the chef and then stuffed the kitchen knife into his hand. Masquerading as suicide."

Everyone felt that Xue Hongliao's analysis was reasonable, and Su Yi was even more proud.

He Ruying pondered and said: "In other words, since Chef Li was killed by someone, the murderer must be related to the person who poisoned him. Or because the chef found out that person was poisoning him, he killed him to silence him. Or else, Chef Li poisoned someone at the behest of someone, and afterward, that person was afraid that Chef would tell the secret, so he killed him, and there will be no proof."

Everyone thinks this is the truth.Su Yi said: "If the poisoning is discovered, the murderer kills and silences it. Why do you have to disguise the scene as a suicide?"

Xue Hongliao said: "I think the murderer wanted to create the illusion that Chef Li committed suicide in fear of crime, so that the clues could not be further investigated here. In my opinion, the person who poisoned and murdered is still in Qiujiazhuang in all likelihood."

Xie Biao sneered and said: "After all, it turns out that I was plotted by my own people. It is said that Chef Li is wearing Tsing Yi and holding Hei Zhu. No matter how beautiful Chef Li is outside, he will have to look at the face of the master when he arrives at Qiujiazhuang. The boss let him How dare he be disobedient by adding some seasonings to the food? It’s a pity that the owner crossed the river and demolished the bridge, fearing that he would reveal the secret, hacked him to death with a kitchen knife, and made him a complete unlucky ghost. Haha, haha, what a show! Qiu Master, do you think so?"

Qiu Guangcheng saw him pointing the finger at himself, implying that he poisoned the murderer.He said angrily: "You must pay attention to the evidence. After the son was poisoned and passed out, someone reported to me, and I immediately went out to ask the doctor. I am not in Qiujiazhuang during this time, how can I commit murder?"

Xie Biao said: "Your lightness kung fu is excellent and your movements are quick. It's not difficult to kill someone before asking the doctor to fake the scene. Besides, even if the murderer wasn't you, isn't there no confidant in the Qiu family village to help you do it?" Is this a thing?"

Qiu Guangcheng was at a loss for words, and said: "You are all guests at my Qiu family manor. No matter what happens during this period, I, the host, will bear the blame. Why should I make this trouble for myself? In my opinion, there must be someone To instigate our family to turn against each other, and deliberately use this poisonous plan to harm people."

Xie Biao said coldly: "Who knows if your Excellency is because everyone thinks you won't cause trouble for yourself, but boldly poisoned and killed people? You hate my son for urinating on your Four Seas Escort flag and insulting your appearance. You will kill me." My child. We invited the Beggar Gang to mediate, so you hate the leader Xue and want to poison us all, don’t you?”

Qiu Guangcheng was trembling with anger, and shouted: "Don't deceive people too much. Although the Xie family has done something wrong to my Qiu family, I always think that everyone treats you kindly in the face of the Qiying League. You keep messing around like this. Don't blame me for being ruthless with you!"

Seeing this, He Ruying quickly persuaded: "Don't be angry. We are all brothers. If we quarreled over these unwarranted things, wouldn't that be the enemy's favor? Since Cook Li is dead, there is no proof. Let’s not mention the matter for now. Haosheng buried him and took care of his family. Let’s strengthen our vigilance and never let this kind of thing happen again.”

Xie Biao said: "Brother He is a brave man, and he is willing to stay in Qiujiazhuang even after such a thing happened. I admire you so much. In my opinion, this place is very evil. If we stay any longer, we will die before the assassin comes." They were all dead. Xie felt sorry for the baby and didn't dare to accompany him any longer, so he left and went home. Everyone, we will meet again later!" He said, hugging the baby, turning around and leaving.

He Ruying said: "Fourth brother Xie, our Qiying League agreed to advance and retreat together, now that the enemy is coming to the door, it is the safest for us to be together. How can we rest assured that you come and go alone?"

Xie Biao said: "Thank you for your kindness. I, Xie Biao, decide whether life or death is up to me. If I meet an enemy, I will fight him for hundreds of rounds. Death is still a hero. Tell me to stay in Qiujiazhuang and die for no reason. In the hands of villains, it is absolutely impossible!"

Everyone was at a loss when they saw Xie Biao leaving with his companion.He Ruying sighed, and said to Qiu Guangcheng: "The people from Xie's family have left, and the rest of us can't fight anymore. The people I brought and the friends from the beggar gang also patrolled together, and sent special personnel to the kitchen , guarding the well, and not letting anyone take advantage of it.”

Both Qiu Guangcheng and Xue Hongliao said that it should be so, they discussed about standing guard and defending, Su Yi was not in the mood to care about these, and ran to the west chamber to see Qiaoer.The Xie family members are packing up their things and preparing to leave.The maid had already figured it out and poured it down for Xie Beihan and Qiaoer. Qiaoer's face looked better, so Su Yi carried her back to the residence.

After a while Xue Hongliu returned to the East Chamber, seeing that Qiaoer's breathing was steady and her pulse was beating vigorously, she felt relieved.She sat on the side thinking, Su Yi said: "Don't worry, leader, with me here, I will never let anyone hurt you again... you all."

Xue Hongliao shook his head and said: "Today's incident is too strange. I don't think it was the Master Qiu who poisoned him, and our brothers couldn't possibly do such a thing. Xie Beihan almost died of poisoning, it shouldn't be Xie Biao did it, but if he really did it...the cost would be too high."

Su Yi was taken aback, and said, "You suspect that Xie Biao poisoned him? Poisoned his own son, is he crazy?"

Xue Hongliao said: "I don't think Xie Biao would do this. The key is that he won't get any obvious benefits by doing so. Who would do it...could it be the assassin? He failed to assassinate, so he wanted to trigger us Internal strife, so we can defeat each of them?"

Su Yi said: "It's quite possible. He couldn't get in, so he tried to lure us out... Oh, so Xie's family has been ordered, so it's very dangerous now?"

Xue Hongliu's complexion changed slightly, and he got up and said: "Anyway, Qiyingmeng is a family, we can't just see them in danger and ignore them. I will bring some people to chase, and we must persuade the Xie family to come back."

Su Yi also wanted to go, but Xue Hongliu asked him to stay and take care of Qiaoer, so Su Yi had no choice but to agree.

Qiao'er woke up once in the afternoon, she was in a daze and didn't know what happened before and after.Su Yi told her roughly that Qiao Er was a little scared when she heard that someone had died.Su Yi comforted: "The brothers of our Beggar Clan will personally guard the kitchen and the well, and there are people from the Qiu Family Village who congratulate the leader to patrol and guard, so you don't have to worry about anything."

Qiaoer nodded worriedly, drank some water, and fell asleep again.

Su Yi stayed in the room until it was dark, when Xue Hongliu came back with a rather unsightly expression.Su Yi didn't dare to ask her, Xue Hongliu sat in the room for a long time, and came to ask about Qiao'er's situation.Su Yi said it was much better, Xue Hongliao was relieved, and went out to arrange things again.

After a while Su Ti came back, Su Yi was not very afraid of Master, seeing him, he said: "Master, at noon, the leader said that he was going to persuade the Xie family to come back, how is the matter going?"

Su Ti stepped forward to feel Qiao'er's pulse, and was relieved to see that she was fine.He said: "I went after him with the gang leader. Xie Biao is conceited, and he has a problem with Qiu Guangcheng. This time, he is determined to leave after eating the weight. Everyone can't persuade him, seeing him bring his family with him. gone."

Su Yi thought of Xie Beihan's complacent look, and thought to himself: "Like a father, like a son, the two men really have the same bad temper. The leader has good intentions, but they don't know what is good. No wonder the leader's face turned pale when he came back." Ugly."

Su Ti said: "Since they have made up their minds, we don't need to worry about it anymore. Everyone in the villa has stepped up their defenses, so you can concentrate on taking care of Qiao'er, and don't worry about anything else."

Su Yi felt that Master seemed to underestimate him, but compared with many masters in the villa, he really didn't have any outstanding skills, so he could only keep his own place and take care of the sick as his duty.
