Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Zhao Ming?

Everyone's eyes instantly focused on Zhao Ming's face, looking at him suspiciously.

"How dare you talk nonsense!" Zhao Ming stared at her fiercely when he heard that Cui'er dared to say that he was the murderer.

"Zhao Ming!" Zhong Benli yelled, "What do you want to do! Before the real murderer is found, everyone will be suspected, including this officer. It's shameful not to step down!"

Although Zhao Ming's temper was indeed very violent, he still didn't dare not listen to the words of the county magistrate Zhong Benli, so he could only secretly glance at Tweety, then snorted and turned his head to the other side.

"Your name is Cui'er?" Xu Yihua asked gently.

"Yes...the maidservant's name is Cui Er..." Cui Er was a little afraid of Zhao Ming, and took several steps back, wanting to stay away from Zhao Ming.

"Why do you say Zhao Ming is the murderer?" Xu Yihua asked.

"I..." Cui'er took a sneaky look at Zhao Ming, and tremblingly said, "At noon, I was ordered by my wife to go to the street to buy some women's things, but I saw Zhao Ming arguing with Ye Xiashi What are you doing, far away, the slaves didn't hear clearly, only saw Zhao Ming pull out the saber at his waist, and was about to chop off Xiashi Ye, Xiashi Ye also pulled out the long sword on his back, and the two fought Get up. Later, when the servant saw Ye Xiashi knocking Zhao Ming to the ground, Zhao Ming also said...and said..."

Zhong Benli asked, "What did you say?"

"He said he won't let it go." After Cui'er finished speaking, she hurriedly hid behind Xu Yihua, "Zhao Ming must have held a grudge and secretly killed Ye Xiashi!"

Gu Qi frowned slightly. Tweety'er was telling the truth, because he was also there at the time and saw the two fighting. It's just that although Zhao Ming has a bad temper, he would never kill someone for such a trivial matter.

Naturally, one should not be judged by one's appearance, and Gu Qi didn't know how to make a conclusion so early, but only recorded Tweety's words responsibly.

Zhao Ming quickly opened his mouth to defend himself: "I did have a dispute with Ye Xiashi in the morning and was defeated by him, but I, Zhao Ming, have never been such a stingy person. Success or failure is just an ordinary thing. Going to kill people after winning or losing? I hope everyone will learn from it!"

After speaking sincerely, Zhao Ming looked into everyone's eyes earnestly, but everyone turned their eyes away from him.

Xu Yihua was unmoved, and continued to ask: "Where were you when the incident happened?"

"I have been working in the Yamen in the afternoon, but at the second quarter of the next year, I suddenly felt a little sleepy." Zhao Ming recalled, "I told Shi Bin, and I just found a place behind the court to prepare I squinted for a while. Later, when I was in a daze, I heard Tweety's cry, and I thought something happened, so I hurried here."

"Did anyone see you while you were sleeping?" Xu Yihua asked.

"No." Zhao Ming said, "But what I said was the truth."

Gu Qi shook his head, feeling bad. This time, I am afraid that Zhao Ming's suspicion will not be cleared away for the time being. During the period from [-]:[-] You to now, there is a gap of nearly half an hour. There is no witness. In the case of the modus operandi and the secret room, he has absolutely enough time to commit the crime, and the conflict that occurred in the morning is enough to make everyone suspicious.

Xu Yihua thought for a moment, pointed at Shi Bin next to Zhao Ming and said, "What about you, where were you when the crime happened?"

Shi Bin is 32 years old this year, tall and thin, with a sallow complexion, and a simple look at his face shows that he must have some old disease.He came here as an errand three years ago, he seems to be a local, but this person usually has bad conduct, he likes to bully the people even more than Gu Qi, and likes to use power for personal gain, Gu Qi even saw him molesting good women on the street several times .In addition, he was also capable of punching and kicking, so everyone dared to be angry and dare not speak out. Gu Qi didn't like him very much, so he rarely had contact with him.

"I... I've been on duty all the time." Shi Bin rolled his eyes and smiled, "Zhao Ming mentioned me just now, Mr. Xu forgot so soon?"

"Zhao Ming went to bed, did you see it?"

"No, I didn't see it." Shi Bin shook his head.

Xu Yihua sneered and said: "That is to say, during the time when Zhao Ming was sleeping, no one saw what you were doing."

"This..." Compared to the irritable Zhao Ming, Shi Bin is obviously an old fritter, very calm, "I really have been on duty in the court all the time, and I never leave."

Shi Bin didn't tell the truth.

He is lying.

Gu Qi stopped writing and looked at Shi Bin.When the other party was talking, his right eyebrow was raised three times, and the thumb of his left hand was rubbing against the scabbard of the saber. This was an instinctive reaction when lying, and he used small movements to cover up his unnaturalness when lying.

"You're lying." Xu Yihua stared at him firmly.

"You, you didn't see what I was doing, so why do you say I'm lying!" Shi Bin's eyes panicked.

"When people are lying, their eyes will turn to the right." Xu Yihua sneered, "So you are lying."

Hearing this sentence suddenly, Gu Qi was startled. People’s eyes will look to the right when telling a lie, and people’s eyes will look to the left when remembering. This theory was mentioned by him at the beginning, but later because he discovered this theory There are loopholes, so I haven't used this theory for a long time, I didn't expect Xu Yihua to know this.

"I, I didn't." Shi Bin still wanted to die.

"You are lying!" Suddenly there was a yell, and everyone looked, it turned out to be the maid Xing'er.

Xing'er supported his wife and stood on the other side, staring at Shi Bin with wide round eyes, with a slight anger on his face: "I clearly saw you walking around Ye Xiashi's room at three quarters you Go, you dare to say that you have been on duty at the front!"

Xing'er and Cui'er are maids of Zhong Benli's family, specially invited by the county magistrate to take care of his wife's daily life.Xing'er is a newcomer, she is only two or eight years old now, her brows are full of heroism, because she is cute and cute, she was once molested by Shi Bin.Later, when Myolie filed a lawsuit against Zhong Benli, Shi Bin not only had to apologize to Myolie on the spot, but was also beaten twenty times. Since then, when he saw Myolie, he made a detour.

Although the two are not on the same page, Myolie's personality Gu Qi likes her very much, and she never lies or deceives others, her words are [-]% believable.

Xu Yihua asked: "Are you sure it's the third quarter of the unitary hour?"

"Well, I'm sure!" Xing'er nodded vigorously, "It's Xu time in the mansion, so every three quarters of the You time, Madam will stop what she is doing and prepare to wash her hands and eat. But today Madam just finished washing her hands, suddenly there was a commotion. When I got sick, I helped my wife go to the toilet, just after I walked through the courtyard, I didn't want to turn around, and saw Shi Bin sneaking around Ye Xiashi's room."

"But then a strange thing happened." Mrs. Zhong said.

"What strange thing?" Zhong Ben immediately asked worriedly.

"Xing'er helped me to go to the toilet, but just after half a stick of incense, I smelled a strange smell, a bit like sweet-scented osmanthus, but I'm not sure, because there is no sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the county office. After inhaling this smell, I passed out, I don't know how long it took, I woke up after hearing some faint movements, and when I opened the toilet door, I saw Xing'er also passed out on the ground outside the door." Mrs. Zhong comforted her. Li smiled at Zhong Benli, and said worriedly, "Mr. Xu, did the murderer do this too?"

"I don't know yet." Xu Yihua shook his head and muttered to himself, "Strange...why..."

I asked Myolie, and the other party answered the same, the only difference is that she was woken up by Mrs. Zhong.

At that time, Cui Er only went out to set the table and cook vegetables at [-]:[-] PM, now that the food was ready, there was no time to commit the crime, but Zhong Benli was with Xu Yihua, the two testified to each other, and there was no time to commit the crime.

As for Gu Qi, almost the whole afternoon was pestered and besieged by girls who hadn't left the court in the street, and it was too much to ask him to bring everyone's gifts to Xu Yihua.

So according to the current situation, there are two main suspects, Zhao Ming and Shi Bin, only they have the time and motive to commit the crime.

After some cross-examination, it was already two quarters of Xu time, the sky had already darkened, and candles were lit inside the room. Zhong Benli looked out the window and said, "It's not too early now, Mr. Let's eat first."

"Master Zhong, the students can't eat now, you should eat first." Xu Yihua sat on the chair, looked at the small air hole on the wall with confused eyes, and waved his hands behind Zhong Benli's words casually without turning his head. .

"Forget it." Zhong Benli nodded, and ordered to go on, "Zhao Ming Shibin, you carry the body to Yizhuang."

"Yes, my lord."

Gu Qi put down the brush in his hand, pinched the back of his neck, and felt his stomach growling: "It should be nothing wrong with me, so I'm going to eat first?"

"Be patient." Zhong Benli pressed his shoulders to prevent him from leaving, "Now Mr. Xu is in need of someone, so you stay and help Mr. Xu."

Seeing Gu Qi's mournful face, Zhong Benli said softly, "Today I made Tweety your favorite eight-treasure duck, and I'll keep it for you."

Even the eight-treasure duck, which is his favorite food, could not stop Gu Qi from wanting to leave here. He looked at Zhong Benli pitifully: "My lord, just let me eat, you can't starve your subordinates to death."

"Lord Zhong, let him go to eat." Xu Yihua put his hands on his knees rigorously, "There is enough for one student here, and Gu Qi can't help here."

"Hey." Gu Qi said quickly, "Yes, yes."

"You." Zhong Ben nodded angrily on Gu Qi's forehead, then turned and left.

Gu Qi turned around and cupped his hands to Xu Yihua: "Master Xu, then I'll be leaving first."

"En." Xu Yihua responded casually, picked up the paper that had just been recorded on the table, and glanced at it.

Seeing Xu Yihua's earnestness, Gu Qi felt that he was really young and promising. A young man is a young man after all, full of energy.He shook his head, covered his lips with a smile, and was about to leave.

"stop!"

Xu Yihua's trembling voice suddenly came from behind, and Gu Qi couldn't help but pause when he left, and turned his head subconsciously.

A gust of wind blew across his face, Xu Yihua was already standing in front of Gu Qi, his right hand tightly pinched Gu Qi's collar, his eyes seemed to be joyful and surprised, but he stared at the person in front of him for a moment, wanting to see what he was looking at. Really average.

Gu Qi was caught off guard, and could only be forced to look up at Xu Yihua, who just looked at him quietly, with clear eyes and messy breath.

Xu Yihua's thunderous heartbeat was all around his ears, and it was very clear in this dark and silent room, until he heard the other party's calm and depressed voice: "Who are you?"
