Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

"what--!!!"

As night fell, there was a scream from the backyard of the county government office, and there was a flutter of wings.

Master Zhou rubbed his arms, his legs were a little weak from the horrible scream just now, he took the household registration he found from the official's room and some organized clues, and stood outside the door, hesitating whether to go in or not.

"Come in." Gu Qi opened the door expressionlessly.

Master Zhou first straightened his neck to look inside, then turned his head to look at Gu Qi who still had a silver needle stuck in his face, and then walked in suspiciously.

"This is something I found before." Master Zhou handed the booklet in his hand to Gu Qi, "Take a look."

Gu Qi stretched out his hand and pulled Xu Yihua's back collar, pulled him up from the chair, and sat up on his buttocks. The movement was so large that the silver needles on his face kept shaking.

"This is the household registration experience of everyone in the Feng family?"

"That's right." Master Zhou nodded, "I've picked out all the things I can find out and recorded them."

Xu Yihua moved his head closer, and watched with Gu Qi: "It seems that there are not many things recorded before Feng Liushi married Feng Qi."

Hearing this, Master Zhou explained: "I heard that Feng Liushi was brought back by Feng Qi after going out once before, and when he came back, he wrote a letter of divorce to Xin Yanniang, and then married her immediately. What happened before, I didn't hear anyone mention it. Pass."

"It seems that this Feng Liushi appeared all of a sudden." Xu Yihua frowned.

Gu Qi flipped through the brochure: "Liu Ying remembers a lot, and the relationship between her and Feng Zhuo and Feng Qi is exactly the same as what Feng Liushi said, there are indeed some differences, and she often has some quarrels with Feng Zhuo, and sometimes even Big fight."

"Look here." Master Zhou stretched out his hand and pointed at one of the lines, "A neighbor said that he once heard Liu Ying and Feng Da quarreling, saying that Feng Zhuo was not Liu Ying's own son, but Feng Da's illegitimate son outside. "

"Feng Qi has no children, and Feng Da only has one son, which is logically the lifeblood of the Feng family." Gu Qi thought thoughtfully, "What kind of reason do you think the murderer would even give the Feng family incense? broken."

If the murderer is among those three women, the reason is somewhat hard to say.

Because since ancient times, no one has been able to guess a woman's mind, how could Xu Yihua dare to assert what the reason for killing is.

"Let's deduce it." Gu Qi closed the booklet in his hand, facing the two, his face was shining with silver, and Master Zhou took a step back silently.

"How to deduce?" Master Zhou poked his head out from behind Xu Yihua.

"First assume that Feng Liushi is the murderer." Gu Qidao, "Why do you think Feng Liushi killed the Feng family?"

"I remember that Feng Liushi once said that Feng Qi beat her, and she burned the tiger-toed shoes on July [-]th, maybe it was because Feng Liushi couldn't bear the days of being raped by Feng Qi, maybe it was because Feng Liu Shi once had a child but was killed by Feng Qi, so he will kill Feng Qi." Master Zhou still remembers these clues, which shows that his brain is still somewhat useful.

"Then she has no reason to kill Feng Da and Feng Zhuo, not to mention that now that Feng Liushi has been poisoned, it obviously shows that she is not the murderer." Xu Yihua shook his head.

Gu Qi scratched his chin: "If Liu Ying was the murderer, what would she kill for?"

"Money." Xu Yihua said, "Mr. Feng Liu said before that Liu Ying felt that Feng Qi got more money than Feng Da when dividing up the family property. Judging from the fact that they are tomb robbers, their family property must be very rich, so this is a little more." It must be an existence that can make people jealous."

"Furthermore, Feng Zhuo is not Liu Ying's child. She will feel that her status is threatened, and this also shows from one aspect that Feng Da has someone outside."

Gu Qi pondered for a moment and said, "What about Xin Yanniang?"

"This woman is more complicated." Xu Yihua frowned and tried hard to think, "She is too calm, no matter what happens, her expression is always so calm, this is really unreasonable."

"Oh!" Master Zhou suddenly realized, "I said something was wrong. It turned out to be here. When we sent someone to notify Xin Yanniang earlier, she didn't panic at all. I felt something was wrong at the time. I should have thought of it earlier. .”

Xu Yihua glanced at Master Zhou with distaste, and ignored him: "Xin Yanniang's ex-husband died, her expression didn't change much, and she wasn't afraid to see people in the yamen, even when she heard that she might be the murderer. She is not afraid, either she has no fear in her heart, or she is ready."

There are many doubts between these three women, and everyone is so suspicious. Although he found out that the other party is a wanted criminal by the court, Gu Qi always feels that besides this, there is something else that he has done. unknown.

"I'm sorry." Gu Qi thought hard.

"Something is missing." Xu Yihua also felt, "I always feel that there are still some important things missing."

"What's missing?" Master Zhou didn't understand, what was missing, what was missing?

"What's wrong?" Gu Qi stood up, "Strange."

"What's wrong?" Master Zhou was at a loss, "If you don't tell me what's wrong, how can I find it?"

"You talk."

"Gu Qi! Gu Qi! What's wrong?"

"What is wrong with Young Master Xu? Young Master Xu! Xu Yihua!"

"Gu Qi!"

"Get lost!" Gu Qi kicked Master Zhou impatiently.

When Xu Yihua woke up the next day, he saw Gu Qi sitting by the window, looking at the scenery outside the window, leaving only his back facing Xu Yihua.

Xu Yihua felt a little cold, more because of his neck ache. He was too tired last night, so he fell asleep at his desk. When he woke up this morning, he felt that his neck was almost broken, but he didn't expect Gu Qi to stay up all night. With such anxiety, Xu Yihua couldn't help admiring him a little.

"Brother Gu." Xu Yihua stood behind Gu Qi, "You bothered so much about this case and stayed up all night, I really admire you, and at the same time feel ashamed."

Gu Qi was still thinking about the case with his back turned to him, ignoring him.

"Brother Gu, although the case is going to be solved, the body is also in serious condition."

Gu Qi ignored him.

"Brother Gu?"

Xu Yihua felt something was wrong.

"Gu Qi?"

Gu Qi didn't even change his posture.

Xu Yihua was startled, and hurriedly went to observe Gu Qi's face.

Gu Qi: "Huhu—"

Xu Yihua: ...

The silver needle on Gu Qi's face was still on it, and the end of the needle trembled almost imperceptibly. Xu Yihua reached out and touched one of the silver needles expressionlessly, and pulled it off with a little force.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhh..." Gu Qi woke up with a scream, and wanted to reach out to touch his face before opening his eyes.

Xu Yihua accurately grasped Gu Qi's wrist, preventing him from moving the silver needle on his face.

"Xu Yihua." Gu Qi opened his eyes, "What are you doing!"

"Your needle hasn't been taken off yet." Xu Yihua let go of his wrist, and Gu Qi really didn't move.

In fact, Gu Qi's face had already healed last night, but at that time, both of them were immersed in their own thoughts, and no one paid attention to this matter, so they let him stick these silver needles until this morning .

Honestly asked Xu Yihua to take off all the silver needles on his face, and then Gu Qi reached out and touched his face: "Are there any needle holes?"

Xu Yihua shook his head.

Gu Qi asked again: "Then if I wash my face, will the water go in?"

Xu Yihua was silent and shook his head.

After washing up, Gu Qi stuffed a piece of sweet-scented osmanthus cake into his mouth. He was a little full after eating one, so he wiped his mouth with his sleeve and asked, "Where's Mr. Zhou?"

"You haven't woken up yet." Xu Yihua said.

"Go." Gu Qi waved his hand.

"where to?"

"Go to the prison and have a look."

Xu Yihua frowned: "Something happened in the prison?"

"I don't know." Gu Qi spread his hands, "Anyway, there are no clues now, why don't you go inside and have a look, maybe you can ask something."

That's fine, Xu Yihua nodded secretly, it's fine to go to the prison to find out the situation.

Outside the prison, the shift changer has not yet arrived, and there is no one guarding the door for the time being. Generally speaking, at night, the jailers lock the outside gate, stay inside, and wait for the guard who will change shift the next day. Come and take their place.

After climbing up the stairs, Gu Qi found something was wrong. The prison gate was originally locked firmly by iron chains, but now although the gates are still closed together, the lock on the chain is no longer easy to fly, and the whole prison is in a kind of No defensive state.

"Not good!" Xu Yihua's eyes were fixed, and he had guessed something.

The two quickly ran into the prison, where the door was wide open, the jailer fainted on the table, there was a piece of bamboo tube on the ground, Xu Yihua picked it up and smelled it, and immediately felt dizzy, Gu Qi helped him in time. stopped him.

"What a powerful drug." Xu Yihua took out a long-necked white porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a brown pill and swallowed it, and it took him a long time to recover.

"Go and have a look inside." Gu Qi supported Xu Yihua's arm, and the two strode towards the cell where Liu Ying and Xin Yanniang were imprisoned.

After the poisoning incident yesterday evening, when Xin Yanniang and Liu Ying were detained again, Mr. Zhou specially ordered them to be separated and kept under strict supervision, because Xin Yanniang had previously said that Liu Ying had the idea of ​​escaping from prison.

Prisoners kept looking at the two people who didn't fit in here, their eyes were either numb, hostile, or uneasy, and some even had joking smiles on their faces, as if they were laughing at this group of people in the yamen who were not good at doing things. .

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua didn't know where the two were locked up, so they could only search everywhere, until later, two empty cells appeared in front of them.

The chains were randomly thrown on the ground, but Xin Yanniang and Liu Ying inside were nowhere to be found.

They escaped from prison.

This was the first thought that came to Xu Yihua's mind.
