Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

"Who are you, get out of here!"

As soon as the middle-aged man noticed Gu Qi and the others approaching, he immediately became vigilant.

Following the words of the middle-aged man, the guards rushed up and reached out to catch Gu Qi and the others.

"Stop!" Xu Yihua said loudly, "I'm Xu Yihua from the capital, and I know a little about what you do. I wonder if I can let me check your young master's body?"

"Xu Yihua?" Hearing the name, the middle-aged man called out, and then looked suspiciously at Xu Yihua, "Are you the Xu Yihua who knows how to investigate cases?"

"It's mere incompetence, it's my subordinate." Xu Yihua looked humble.

Gu Qi sighed sadly, turned around and saw Hui Qi looking at Xu Yihua with his mouth wide open.

"What, do you know each other?"

Huiqi whispered: "A person like me who always pays attention to what happens in Jianghu, how could he not know him? I didn't expect this rich man to be so famous. I think he might really be my own father."

"That's good." The middle-aged man gritted his teeth, "Since you are Xu Yihua, you can naturally check my young master's Shi Te, but the two of them must go out!"

Xu Yihua said: "This name is Gu Qi, he is my good friend, he will help me solve the case, and I hope you will be accommodating."

The middle-aged man frowned and looked Gu Qi up and down carefully, with distrust on his face, but considering Xu Yihua's reputation, he didn't say anything, and let Gu Qi follow him.

Hui Qi pretended to be stupid, and followed behind Gu Qi, trying to fish in troubled waters to watch the fun, but the middle-aged man pinched his wrist all of a sudden: "Little monk, you are not allowed to go over."

"Who do you think is the little monk!" Huiqi became angry immediately, "This nun is a woman, she is a woman!"

Gu Qi: "..."

"Chou Shi was killed back and forth, the fatal wound was on the neck, the wound was thin and long, it should be caused by the sword's edge." Xu Yihua bent down to examine carefully, his hands in white cloth gloves touched the right hand of Young Master Huafu, and moved tentatively He moved the red-tasseled flying knife nailed to his palm, "The tail of the knife is completely nailed to the table. The murderer is either very strong or knows martial arts."

"Did anyone come to see your young master around Choushi last night?" Gu Qi turned around and asked.

The middle-aged man said: "On weekdays, there will be someone guarding the young master's door, but there was none last night, so I don't know very well."

"Why was no one watching last night?"

"The young master had an appointment with Miss Qintong last night, so we were not allowed to guard at the door. Later, the young master was about to rest, and the girl came to the building and said that Miss Qintong was not feeling well, and today she was going to meet friends with Qintong again. Aunt Jing didn't allow her to come over, so she broke the appointment. The young master lost his temper and refused to let us guard the door."

Gu Qi narrowed his eyes.

Miss Qintong?

"Then did you hear anything last night?" Gu Qi asked again.

The middle-aged man thought about it carefully and shook his head.

"What about you, did you see any unusual movements last night?" The middle-aged man turned around and asked the guards behind him.

The guards also shook their heads. They really didn't hear anything last night.

Gu Qi rubbed his chin and said: "This can only prove one thing, the murderer is an acquaintance your young master knows, and he came prepared."

"Why?" The middle-aged man didn't understand.

"It's very simple." Xu Yihua took off his white gloves and straightened his waist, "One: Your young master opened the door wearing a coat, which means that he is familiar with the person coming and doesn't need to care about some etiquette; two: The murderer is killing your young master. You didn’t hear any movement when you came, which means that the person who came came was well prepared; three: Your young master didn’t make any struggle, which means that the murderer’s actions were beyond his expectations, and he was not under any precaution.”

"The fact that you didn't hear anything is the best proof." Gu Qi added.

"Get out, get out!"

There was a loud commotion downstairs, and the sound carried directly upstairs.

"Your Majesty Zhizhou is here, please get out of the way!"

The noise gradually approached, and it seemed to be coming from this side.After all, the person killed here was the son of the Minister of Rites of the current court, so Master Jiangzhou naturally wanted to rush over to deal with this matter.

"Master Zhizhou is here?" The middle-aged man looked happy, and finally he was not as ugly as before, "Quick, please come here."

In less than a moment, Master Zhizhou, who was wearing an official uniform and black gauze on his head, came to the house. He frowned and looked at the scene, very dissatisfied: "Why are there so many idlers here? Don't you know that we should protect you?" Is the scene okay?"

"Wei Zhizhou, the villain Qian Ke was working in Zheng Shilang's house, and it was Zheng Shilang's second son, Zheng Ji, who died. I hope Master Wei will bring the murderer to justice!" The middle-aged man said with a gesture. It was also placed very low, which benefited Wei Zhizhou very much.

"Then who are these two?" Wei Zhizhou looked at Gu Qi and Xu Yihua and asked.

"This is Mr. Xu Yihua, a well-known expert investigator. This is..."

"Gu Qi." Gu Qi reminded.

"This Gu Qi is helping Mr. Xu."

Xu Yihua glanced at Gu Qi with an innocent look on his face.

"It turned out to be Mr. Xu." Wei Zhizhou suddenly realized that he seemed to be someone who had heard of Xu Yihua. Gu Qi didn't expect Xu Yihua to be more famous than he imagined. .” Xu Yihua cupped his hands with a smile.

Even though he said this, his face was indifferent, as if he had heard such praise thousands of times, and he was not surprised by honor or disgrace.

Gu Qi took a deep breath in his heart.

Xu Yihua told Wei Zhizhou what he had checked, and the other party nodded and said, "Mr. Xu is right."

"Do you have anyone to suspect?" Wei Zhizhou asked, "For example, has Mr. Zheng made any enemies recently?"

After Wei Zhizhou said this, Qian Ke suddenly shouted: "It's him, it must be him!"

he?Gu Qi thought to himself, could it be that the "he" in Qian Ke's mouth was the white-faced scholar who had quarreled with Zheng Ji last night?

"The young master had a quarrel with a scholar last night, and he was killed today, he must have done it!" Qian Ke gritted his teeth.

"That scholar really did it?" Xu Yihua lowered his voice and whispered to Gu Qi.

Gu Qi was not at the scene, so how would he know if this scholar killed him.

Last night, Zheng Ji's words were quite humiliating to the scholar, and he died today, so it seems that the scholar's suspicion is indeed very serious, and it is impossible to predict if a person does some crazy things when he is extreme.

It is not easy to jump to conclusions about this kind of thing for the time being.

"Come here! Bring that scholar to justice quickly!" Wei Zhizhou waved his hand, then smiled at Xu Yihua, "Mr. Xu is really my lucky star. He helped me solve the case so quickly."

Xu Yihua couldn't laugh or cry, this is also a confused Master Zhizhou.

The case is still unclear, so where is the case solved?It's just that there is a suspect now. Is it too impatient to decide whether the real murderer is still unknown?

After Wei Zhizhou gave the order, he turned around and asked Qian Ke, "Is Mr. Zheng's body?"

Qian Ke glanced at Zheng Ji's body, and his face was full of sorrow: "I have to tell the adults about this first, and then transport the body of the young master to the capital."

"It should be so, it should be so." Wei Zhizhou nodded repeatedly.

"I also hope that Lord Wei will not disappoint us adults. We must punish the murderer severely and behead him for public display." Qian Ke's tone was faintly threatening.

"Naturally, I will definitely not let him go." Seeing Xu Yihua looking at him, Wei Zhizhou hastily added, "We will definitely not let the real murderer go."

"That's good." Qian Ke nodded, his expression slightly relaxed.

Wei Zhizhou said: "In that case, why don't you go to the government office with me first, and interrogate this scholar together."

"Master Wei." Xu Yihua said, "I don't know if the students have the honor to watch the trial of the adults from the sidelines?"

"Hahaha, of course." Wei Zhizhou smiled heartily.

A few people followed Wei Zhizhou to the government office, and sure enough the scholar had already been brought over, and at this moment he was kneeling obediently in the courtroom with a look of bewilderment.

"Those who kneel, report their names!"

"Student...student Wei Cheng, I don't know what the student did, why was he taken to the court?" The scholar Wei Cheng kowtowed quickly, then raised his head and asked in puzzlement.

Although Gu Qi looked a little scared, he was still calm, presumably he didn't know why Wei Zhizhou called him here.

"Bold!" Wei Zhizhou slapped the gavel fiercely, "Zheng Ji, Mr. Zheng died last night, did you know?"

Wei Cheng looked blank: "The students don't know who this Zheng Ji is, and what does his death have to do with the students?"

"Last night, Mr. Zheng drove you out of the Zuixian Tower, so you held a grudge and sneaked in in the middle of the night to kill him, but there is such a thing!"

"Absolutely, absolutely nothing!" Wei Cheng was startled, his face turned pale with fright, and he waved his hands again and again, "Absolutely nothing, my lord, students will definitely not kill people!"

"It seems that you won't be recruited without torture. Come here, beat me!" Mrs. Wei Zhizhou patted the gavel, and two yamen servants came up next to him and held Wei Cheng's shoulders. Just lay on the ground.

"My lord, I am wronged!" Wei Cheng struggled unceasingly, and raised his head vigorously, "The student stayed in Zuixianlou all night last night, and he never came here at all. I hope your lord will make the decision!"

"You still dare to quibble, let me..."

"Slow down!" Xu Yihua said in a manly voice, "My lord, if the student has something to ask, please call me later, sir."

Wei Zhizhou hesitated for a moment when he heard the words, and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he could only say: "Just ask."

"You said you were in Zuixian Tower last night, but has anyone been able to prove it for you?"

Wei Cheng nodded hastily: "There are people, many people have seen it, if you don't believe me, you can go to Zuixian Tower and ask your mother and the turtles to find out."

"Nonsense!" Wei Zhizhou said, "You, a scholar, what are you doing in Zuixianlou? It's obviously a prevarication!"

Wei Cheng's face turned red, and he stammered: "The student just wanted to see Miss Qintong last night, so..."

"Master Wei." Xu Yihua turned around and cupped his hands, "Why don't you ask?"

"This..." Wei Zhizhou also wanted to ask, so he said to Qian Ke, "I believe that if what Wei Cheng said is true, then the murderer must be someone else. I believe Mr. Zheng is not willing to let the truth go. murderer."

Qian Ke could only nod his head: "Master Wei is right."

The Zuixian Tower is not here.

Jiangzhou is divided into two by the Qingyi River, and the most famous Zuixian Tower is on the east side of the river. If Gu Qi and the others want to go to the Zuixian Tower, they still need to take a boat to pass by. The boat is also very convenient. After finding a few boats, everyone crossed the river quickly.

Gu Qi had wanted to come to Zuixian Tower for a long time, but the one who was most excited was Hui Qi, who almost jumped up with joy along the way.

It’s just that it’s still in the morning, and although the gate of the Zuixian Tower is not closed, there are only a few gentlemen who work during the day, playing a little song on the stage, and there are guests who come to listen to the music scattered around. It is deserted.

When Wei Zhizhou broke in with the yamen servants, all the people inside were stunned and at a loss.

"What are you doing in a daze? Call out all the Guigong girls who served the guests here last night. Your lord has something to ask them!"

"But...but the girls are still resting..."

"If you tell me to call you, you can call me, what are you talking about!"

"Yes, yes, I'll call right away." The girl who spoke was still holding the pipa, and hurriedly whispered to Gui Gong behind her, "Go and call Aunt Jing over here."

"No need to call, I'm already here." Following these words, everyone's eyes couldn't help but look inside, only to see a beautiful figure in a light green dress walking forward slowly, with a smile on his face. With a decent smile, he looked at the people in front of him, "I don't know if Mr. Wei is here, what's the matter?"
