Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Gu Qi stayed and guarded the scene to prevent others from destroying it, and Xu Yihua was responsible for going back to report to the officials because of his good lightness kung fu.

In fact, it is useless to report to the official, because the new county magistrate has not yet taken office, and the affairs of the yamen are temporarily managed by the master. What Xu Yihua does is to go to the yamen to file for the record.

Bringing a few policemen over, Xu Yihua rushed to Gu Qi's side: "How is it, has anyone been here?"

Gu Qi shook his head, and glanced at Mr. Zhou, who was panting like a cow. His face showed a broken look.

"Why are you dead, why are you dead..." Master Zhou muttered to himself as if he had been greatly stimulated, his eyes straightened when he saw the corpse in the grass, "What should I do, how can I ask the new lord? ,what to do……"

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua showed sympathetic expressions.

After coughing, Gu Qi leaned over: "Master Zhou."

Master Zhou looked at Gu Qi in a daze: "Gu Butou."

"Master Zhou has only been on leave for a few days, and something like this happened. Now Mr. Zhong is also arrested, and he is waiting for the new county magistrate. Now there is another murder case. Mr. Zhou, what do you think? manage?"

Master Zhou was originally a member of the yamen, who was responsible for recording and organizing files, and occasionally came up with ideas to help the county magistrate analyze and analyze.A few days ago, because my mother was sick, I went back to my hometown to take care of her for a few days, and only returned to Qiuxing County yesterday.Unexpectedly, as soon as I returned to Qiuxing County, I learned that this place has changed. I originally wanted to honestly manage things for the new magistrate for a few days, but I didn't expect such a murder case to happen on the first day. yes.

Master Zhou felt that his errand was going to be lost.

"Gu Butou, you are so smart, you must help me." Master Zhou pulled Gu Qi's sleeve and did not let go.

Gu Qi quietly pointed to Xu Yihua who was examining the corpse: "Master Zhou, have you seen this person?"

"I see." Master Zhou nodded.

"This person is Mr. Xu Yihua, a well-known expert in solving cases all over the world. Hurry up and beg this Mr. Xu to help you solve this case before the new magistrate takes office. Not only will no one blame you, maybe It’s still a great achievement.”

"Young master Xu!" Master Zhou wailed suddenly, and almost rushed over to hug Xu Yihua's thigh tightly.

"You... what are you doing?" Xu Yihua, who was inspecting the corpse, was caught off guard by Master Zhou, and with an embarrassed expression on his face, he asked Gu Qi for help.

Gu Qi whistled, turned around and checked the grass around the corpse, pretending not to see it.

"Master Xu, please save me, the life of my Zhou is entrusted to you." Master Zhou cried earth-shatteringly, and couldn't help wiping away his tears, "Please, Mr. Xu, you must save me." This case is investigated, otherwise I will not be able to report to the new magistrate, I will confess my old bones here... woo woo..."

Xu Yihua was a little embarrassed.

His purpose is to find out the case in Jeju a year ago. Naturally, the sooner the better, some clues become more vague the longer they are, but there is a case in front of him. It is unreasonable to ignore it, and this master is really crying very sad look.

"Just help him, Master Zhou is quite old, and it's not easy." Seeing that Xu Yihua's eyebrows were wrinkled into pimples, Gu Qi couldn't help persuading him.

"Okay." Xu Yihua happily made a decision, "Then I won't leave for the time being. I must investigate this case thoroughly before leaving."

Although Master Zhou was relieved, he still had a sad face: "Mr. Xu, who do you think will kill this person?"

"Of course I don't know yet." Xu Yihua looked at the corpse and frowned, "Master Zhou, I have to trouble you to send someone to inform the people in Qiuxing County and the nearby villages to see if there are fewer people, come and claim the corpse."

"Okay okay."

After Master Zhou left, Xu Yihua took out a bound blue book and pen and ink from the salute behind him, grinded it a bit and memorized it.

Gu Qi took a look: "You are quite well prepared."

Xu Yihua ignored him, and read it out to Gu Qi while writing it down: "The deceased was a male, about forty years old, with signs of binding on his limbs, bruises and abrasions on the body surface, and no obvious signs of poisoning. The deceased's right thumb was He was cut off and died from a blunt blow to the head. Judging from the stiffness of the corpse and the spots on the corpse, the time of death was four hours ago, that is, about Zishi."

After checking the scene, Gu Qi said, "There are no obvious signs of struggle around the scene. This should not be the scene of the first crime."

"That's right." Xu Yihua put away the pen and paper, stood beside Gu Qi and said, "It should be thrown away by the murderer after being killed."

Gu Qi nodded and looked at the corpse in silence.

"Brother Gu." Xu Yihua called out in a low voice.

As soon as Gu Qi heard this Brother Gu, he felt a bit of a stomachache, and quickly interrupted Xu Yihua: "Mr. Xu, when you solved the case a few days ago, you always called me Gu Qi. Why did you become Brother Gu again today?"

"Brother Gu is a respectful title, I think you deserve my respect." Xu Yihua spoke righteously.

Gu Qi: ...

"We are so familiar, you should call me by my name." Gu Qi rubbed his nose, quite helplessly, "I will call you by my name too."

"Okay then." Xu Yihua frowned, a little reluctantly, as if he had suffered something, Gu Qi's eyes hurt from seeing it.

"Gu Qi, do you think this victim will..." Xu Yihua lowered his voice.

"Huh?" Gu Qi didn't understand what he meant.

"I mean, is it possible that this person was also the one who raped Xiaodie before, and was then killed by Master Zhong?"

After listening to Xu Yihua's words, Gu Qi fell into deep thought for a long time.

What is the reason that Xu Yihua, who was rigorous and serious in the beginning, became what he is now.

"Do you think so?" Gu Qi asked back.

"I think it's possible." Xu Yihua nodded affirmatively.

Gu Qi put his hands into his sleeves and said with a smile, "Xu Yihua."

"what happened?"

"Have you considered going back to inherit your father's mantle as a merchant?"

"No."

"I think you might be better suited to be a businessman than to settle a case."

"Brother Gu!" Xu Yihua stared at Gu Qi with an unhappy expression, "You are insulting me, you are questioning me, and you are contemptuous of my personality!"

It seems to be getting further and further away.

Gu Qi coughed and decided not to chatter about this matter anymore, he looked around: "Zhao Ming!"

Zhao Ming looked up at this side in a daze, he was still immersed in the fact that Mr. Zhong was the murderer and couldn't extricate himself from it. He has always been in a trance for the past few days.

"Gu Qi." Zhao Ming walked over very listlessly.

Gu Qi patted Zhao Ming on the shoulder: "The new county magistrate has not yet taken office. You and Master Zhou are both old people in the yamen. We need to take care of each other. Everyone is still waiting to hang out with you."

Zhao Ming managed to get up his spirits to make a joke, and thumped Gu Qi's chest: "What are you talking about, I'm just in the honor of Master Zhou. If you come back to help me, I'll be more relaxed."

Gu Qi was almost suffocated by Zhao Ming's beating, he coughed several times, managed to stabilize himself, pointed at the corpse and said, "This is not the scene of the first crime, since there are not many people, you can greet Brothers, let’s carry it to Yizhuang first.”

"Row."

After everyone arrived at Yizhuang, the master brought people over to claim the corpse soon.

In addition to those who came to claim the corpse, there were also some spectators. Gu Qi didn't care about this, and only asked Xu Yihua to remove the white cloth from the corpse to reveal the face of the deceased.

"It's Feng Qi, Mrs. Feng's family, it's your man!"

Someone in the crowd soon recognized who the deceased was. While talking, the man tore off the clothes of a woman behind him.

A messy head emerged from the crowd of onlookers, and the two slightly cloudy eyeballs on the woman's haggard face stared at the corpse lying there.

"Feng Qi?" The woman first yelled in a low voice, as if she didn't believe it, then she yelled loudly, hurriedly pushed aside the person in front of her, and squeezed inside desperately.

"Feng Qi!" The woman staggered and squeezed in, staggered to the side of the corpse, stretched out trembling hands to touch the cheeks of the corpse, her cloudy eyes showed a sad look, and the eyes were full of tears, "Feng Qi Qi... woo... Feng Qi..."

She was crying sadly, hugging the dead body and wailing desperately, crying out of breath, tears lay down her cheeks, wet the front of her clothes, the desolate voice was really sad for those who heard it, and those who saw it tears.

Xu Yihua had no choice but to interrupt her, and asked softly, "When did Feng Qi disappear?"

The woman was silent, just holding the corpse and weeping uncontrollably.

Xu Yihua frowned, and looked back at Gu Qi.

Gu Qi had no choice but to ask: "Does Feng Qiping have any enemies, who do you think is most likely to kill him?"

The woman raised her head and glanced at Gu Qi in a daze: "The enemy... no, Feng Qi has no enemy..."

"Without enemies, who would kill Feng Qi?" Gu Qi raised his hand and bit his nails.

"Masters, can I take Feng Qi home?" The woman hugged Feng Qi's body tightly.

Xu Yihua shook his head: "Not yet, I need to check Feng Qi's body in detail again."

"Feng Qi was not killed by someone else." The woman suddenly said, her voice hoarse, "Feng Qi fell and died by herself, and the woman doesn't want to report to the police... Can the woman, the woman leave? ?”

Gu Qi was taken aback.

Did Feng Qi fall to his death?

I'm afraid she won't believe it herself.

Feng Qi's body still had signs of being tied up, his right thumb was cut off, and there were marks of being hit with a blunt object on the back of the head. There are many signs that this is a homicide case, how could it be Feng Qi? Qi fell to his death!

Gu Qi squinted his eyes and stared at the woman.

"Oh, it turned out that he fell to his death." Master Zhou wiped the sweat from his forehead and breathed a sigh of relief, "Then you take it back."

"Xu Yihua." Gu Qi lowered his voice, "Is there any place on the corpse that you haven't checked?"

"No more." Xu Yihua shook his head, "There is very little information on Feng Qi's body, but I have already sampled the powder left in the nails and the mud from the soles of the shoes."

Gu Qi gnawed his nails irritably, watching the woman carry Feng Qi's body on her back with difficulty, and moved it out step by step.

"Feng Liushi, let me help you send Feng Qi back." Zhao Ming couldn't bear it.

Feng Liushi lowered his head and said in a hoarse voice, "Thank you, Catcher Zhao."

This Feng Liushi's reaction is really too strange.

I believe that anyone who has seen the corpse will not believe that Feng Qi fell to his death by himself. Master Zhou just pushed the boat along to calm things down and pretended not to know, but why did Feng Liu do this.

Her husband is dead, or was killed by someone else, doesn't she want to find out who killed her husband?

Or is there something else hidden in it?

With such a delay in the morning, Xu Yihua naturally couldn't leave. He invited Gu Qi to have dinner together at noon. The two of them sat in the private room, facing the delicacies on the table, but they didn't want to move their chopsticks.

"What's going on here, I really can't figure it out." Xu Yihua propped his chin.

Gu Qi unconsciously poked the peanuts on the plate with his chopsticks: "I have a hunch."

"What?" Xu Yihua looked up.

"It's not going to end like this."

Gu Qi's premonition was correct. Sure enough, at a quarter of the afternoon, Master Zhou crawled to Gu Qi's residence.

At that time, Gu Qizheng and Xu Yihua were sorting out the files left over from the previous case, and they all became energetic after hearing Master Zhou's panicked voice.

"Master Xu, Gu Qi! It's not good... again, dead again..."
