Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

Until Yue Ziyun was grabbed by the yamen servant, Huiqi was still in a daze.

"Is this a case solved?"

Xu Yihua nodded.

Huiqi asked again in disbelief: "Has the case been clarified?"

Xu Yihua nodded again.

"Why so fast?" Huiqi muttered in a low voice.

"Sometimes the case is very simple, and sometimes it is very complicated." Xu Yihua explained, "Of course, it also has something to do with the intelligence of the person investigating the case."

Gu Qi paused, then looked back at Xu Yihua with a satisfied smile.

"Your flattery is so obvious." Hui Qi stood on tiptoe and whispered.

Xu Yihua quickly covered Hui Qi's mouth, glanced at Gu Qi with a guilty conscience, and warned in a low voice: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Young Master Xu, Young Master Gu." The county magistrate Zhong Weiyuan's mouth curled up, with a smile that was not a smile, "Since the two big men have come to my small Zhaoyuan County, as a parent official, there is no reason for me not to entertain them."

Xu Yihua declined and said: "Thank you, Mr. Zhong, for your kindness..."

"Don't talk too much." Zhong Weiyuan interrupted Xu Yihua's words, his eyes swept over the two of them again, this time he stayed on Gu Qi for a while, and then he said unhurriedly, "You two are so Quickly help this official to find out the case, if this official does not keep two people, wouldn't it be a person who is ungrateful."

Xu Yihua frowned slightly, a little disgusted with the opponent's slightly aggressive approach, and was about to refuse again, when Gu Qi suddenly reached out and pressed the back of his hand: "Then we will be disrespectful."

"You two are willing to show your face, I am already very happy." Zhong Weiyuan stretched out his fingers, "Then invite the two of you to enter the city with me."

"Okay." Gu Qi smiled brightly.

Xu Yihua couldn't figure out why Gu Qi agreed to the other party's request. It was obvious from the beginning that Zhong Weiyuan paid too much attention to the two. However, according to Gu Qi, he was the son of a high official in the capital, and he was transferred Could it be that the person who came here recognized Gu Qi's true identity?

Thinking of this, Xu Yihua couldn't help becoming a little more vigilant, he naturally rode a foot of black guard beside Gu Qi, walking side by side with him.

The noble lady had already fainted from crying, and left in a hurry with Yue Ziyun, who was being escorted by the yamen servant, so Zhong Weiyuan got on the sedan chair directly, and only Hui Qi slowly climbed onto his little donkey, pouted. He looked at the two people in front of him with his mouth closed.

Compared with Qiuxing County, Zhaoyuan County is bigger. When they entered the county, it was still early and the sun was still hanging in the west. There was an endless stream of people coming and going on the street. With various flavors.

"Steamed chicken... sauced duck... pork knuckle... cooked beef..." Hui Qi swallowed his saliva all the way.

"There's not much money, but the nose is quite good." Gu Qi laughed.

Hui Qi said triumphantly: "Don't look at my aunt's lack of money, after so many years of traveling in the rivers and lakes, she has eaten a lot of good things."

"Then have you ever eaten eggplant?"

"what is that?"

"That's a rare dish in the world, even a god can't eat it a few times."

"Tell me quickly!" Hui Qi hurried to Gu Qi's side by kicking the little donkey under his crotch.

"For this dish, you need to peel off the skin of the freshly picked eggplant. You only need to clean the meat, cut it into small nails, and fry it in chicken oil. Then use chicken breasts, mushrooms, new bamboo shoots, mushrooms, and dried five-spice tofu. Dried fruits of various colors, cut into nails, simmered with chicken soup, collected with sesame oil, mixed with bad oil, placed in a magnetic jar and sealed tightly. When you want to eat, take it out and use fried Once the chicken and melon seeds are mixed, it is considered ready."

"Is it delicious?" Hui Qiguang was thinking about this complicated method, and he was eager to eat this dish right away.

Gu Qi pretended to be mysterious and smiled, and didn't answer, but this kind of attitude alone made Hui Qi scratch his heart and lungs even more.

"Stop teasing her." Xu Yihua said, "Although this dish is rare, it's not impossible to eat it. If you want to eat it, I'll order someone to cook it."

"Really?" Huiqi asked excitedly.

Xu Yihua froze for a moment: "I didn't talk to you."

Hui Qi burst into tears.

When he arrived in front of the county government office, Gu Qi couldn't help sighing, "What a majestic county government office."

It is indeed a very imposing county government, with green walls of Zhumen, tall and mighty lions at the door, and high steps that make the guards on the county government look sacred and inviolable, even the Dengwen drum looks quite impressive.

However, Gu Qi could see the traces of the renovation of the county government office. The gates and columns must have been newly painted with red paint, and the stone lions should also be newly carved, because none of these had been washed by wind and rain.

It seems that Zhong Weiyuan really enjoys it. If he comes here to be an official, even if it is only temporarily, he should live comfortably and not suffer any grievances.

Seeing that Gu Qi praised the county government, Zhong Weiyuan kept his face calm, and just replied: "The previous county magistrate was originally a clean and honest person. Because he worked diligently for the people, my father asked for an order to rebuild the county government. By mistake, this official was sent to this place, but I took advantage of it."

Gu Qi agreed with a smile, noncommittal.

"It's getting late now, and this official has also ordered people to prepare meals early. Why don't you go back to your room to rest for a while, and I will send someone to invite you to dinner later, how about that?"

Gu and Xu said in unison: "Master Lao Zhong is here."

After entering the room, Huiqi exclaimed that he was exhausted, and threw himself on the bed: "This bed is mine."

"Okay, you have a good rest." Gu Qi smiled innocently, poured a glass of water for Hui Qi courteously, and brought it in front of her, "Hui Qi, are you thirsty, do you want some water?"

"Bold and monstrous!" Hui Qi shouted in fright, and jumped up all of a sudden, pointing at Gu Qi with a string of rosary beads on his wrist, "How dare you attach yourself to a human body, see Master, I will beat you up today True form!"

Gu Qi calmly withdrew his hand, and took a leisurely sip by himself: "I have something to tell you, just get out and do it quickly."

"I'm scared to death, Mr. Gu, you're back."

"Go to the street and ask about the relationship between Yue Ziyun and his younger brother, and also ask about their personalities."

"No problem, Mr. Gu!" Hui Qi was full of energy.

"Okay, let's go."

Go= When walking to Xu Yihua's side, Huiqi sighed: "My Uncle Gu is still the same old Uncle Gu, but my Uncle Xu is no longer the old Uncle Xu."

Xu Yihua gave her a cold look.

Huiqi was frightened and hurried out the door with her head in her arms.

After hesitating for a long time, Xu Yihua still didn't know whether to ask or not.

Gu Qi glanced at him: "Ask whatever you want."

"Do you suspect that there will be follow-up matters in this case?"

"Yeah." Gu Qi nodded, and he sat opposite Xu Yihua with a teacup, with doubts on his face, "Yue Ziyun admitted too quickly."

"Just because of this incident?" Speaking of the case, Xu Yihua also became serious.

"Almost." Gu Qi wasn't quite sure, "Actually, what I presented before wasn't conclusive evidence at all. If I really refused deliberately, it would be easy to get away with it, but Yue Ziyun didn't do that."

"When you identified him as the murderer, there were scars on his arm. Isn't that evidence?"

Gu Qi glanced at Xu Yihua strangely: "Yihua, you've been a little out of sorts recently."

Xu Yihua blushed, and lowered his head in shame.

"I said at the time that the scars on his arm were caused by abrasions. If he insisted that the scratches were elsewhere, there was nothing we could do."

Xu Yihua nodded: "You are right."

"But...according to all the clues at that time, no matter what, Yue Ziyun is the most suspicious one, especially if there are still clues."

"Yes, it makes sense." Xu Yihua nodded thoughtfully.

"The most important thing is that Yue Ziyun himself admitted that this is a matter of beheading. He didn't kill him, so why should he admit it?"

"Not bad."

Gu Qi: "... Have you been dropped?"

"What?" Xu Yihua was at a loss.

"Can you say something useful besides nodding?"

"Cough." Xu Yihua coughed, "Actually, the facts of the case are quite clear. At that time, the two of them came back from Jiangcheng and passed by here to rest, but they got into an argument because of some things. During the argument, Yue Ziyun stoned his younger brother to death. Then buried the body, then went home pretending nothing happened, lied that my brother was missing and reported to the police, until today you exposed his face."

Gu Qi shook his head: "It still doesn't make sense."

"You mean, why did Yue Ziyun bury the corpse by the side of the road?"

"That's right." Gu Qi put his hands into his sleeves unconsciously, his brows were tightly frowned, "If Yue Ziyun chooses to bury his body in the place where he committed a murder, I believe that he will not be killed within a month." found out, but he chose to bury the body by the roadside, which is unreasonable."

Xu Yihua brought Gu Qi a cup of tea, and comforted him: "Tomorrow Master Zhong will try the case, but you need to ask about it, and you will know the whole story."

"Now it seems that this is the only way to go." Gu Qi frowned slightly, then remembered something, and asked in a low voice, "Is there anyone watching around here?"

Xu Yihua concentrated on feeling, suddenly his face turned cold, and he nodded silently.

Gu Qi squinted his eyes, dipped his finger in the tea, and wrote on the table: "Can they hear us?"

Xu Yihua once again felt the position of the people outside, shook his head, and said in a low voice: "I shouldn't be able to hear you."

"That's good." Gu Qidao, "I suspect that Zhong Weiyuan knows who I am."

"You mean your real identity?"

"Well, so at night, he will definitely report to the capital, so you must stop him."

That night.

It was already deep, and the lanterns in the county government had already been blown, and only the deserted moonlight coated everything with a layer of silvery brilliance.

With a creak, a window was gently pushed open, and a gray homing pigeon was held in the hands, with a small bamboo tube tied to its slender ankle. The homing pigeon tilted its head, looked out of the window, and cooed. Goo.

With a slight upward movement of both hands, the carrier pigeon was sent out. The carrier pigeon flapped a few times in the air and flew towards the distance.

The window closes gently.

With a sound of "poof", the carrier pigeon was pierced heavily by a sharp arrow, and then fell to the ground. Soon, Xu Yihua appeared next to the carrier pigeon, picked it up, and sneaked into Gu Qi's room as previously agreed.

Half an hour later, with a creak, the window was pushed open again.

A black carrier pigeon flew into the sky without a sound and disappeared.
