Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

The servant gasped, and sat down on the ground in fright. On the other hand, Huiqi, although frightened at the beginning, was relieved now, and the previous blush returned to his face. He stared fiercely at Lian Sheng who was hanging on the beam like anger.

Xu Yihua's eyes flashed, with the long sword in his hand, he slashed in the air, with a sound of "stab", the white silk was broken, and the lotus fell to the ground.

Stretching out two fingers to test the opponent's pulse and breath, Xu Yihua shook his head after a while: "I've been out of breath for more than a moment."

Gu Qi frowned slightly: "Is it suicide or homicide?"

The sky was too dark, Xu Yihua couldn't see clearly, so he could only light a candle with the torch on the table and go closer to check, carefully looked at the strangle marks on his neck, Xu Yihua said: "Suicide."

Xu Yihua's words did not cause surprise to appear on Gu Qi's face, he suddenly raised his head, his gaze seemed to pass through the window, and he cast his eyes directly on Mrs. Yue in the East Wing.

"Report to the officer!" Gu Qi said two words coldly.

Previously, Gu Qi had no intention of reporting to the police. When they left Chunyi Garden, they had already guessed who the murderer was, and they were going to arrest and hand it over to Mrs. Yue, so that they would have less dealings with Zhong Weiyuan.For Zhong Weiyuan, Gu Qi always had a faint dislike in his heart. This person has a deep mind, and they must not hide things here for a long time.

But now that Liansheng is dead, another life has been lost, but Gu Qi can't hide it any longer, so he can only let the servant of the Yue family go to report to the official, and let Zhong Weiyuan handle the matter.

Moreover, he has almost understood the cause and effect of this matter, and now it is only a little bit of details to be connected in series. It is still some time before Zhong Weiyuan arrives, so it is better to use this time to solve the case.

The three of them left the west chamber, and across the courtyard and the rockery, they saw that the movement in the east chamber gradually became quieter.

"Mrs. Yue."

As soon as they stepped into the corridor of the East Wing, Madam Yue stood in the courtyard in plain clothes, supported by the old lady who opened the door for them before, her eyes were still covered with the white silk cloth, just to cover her eyes. There was a smile on the corner of his mouth.

In Xu Yihua's eyes, this smile was a bit unusual, it was not like the gentleness in the morning, it was not like the misery of last night, it seemed that they had long expected that they would come, with a smile that was inevitable.

Weird.

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Xu, little master." Madam Yue smiled, "I was resting just now, and I was really neglectful for not being able to greet the three of you in time."

Gu Qi smiled strangely: "It's a pity that Mrs. Yue was not there at the time, and I missed the good show."

"Good show?" Madam Yue's smile remained unchanged, "I don't know what Mr. Gu means by good play?"

"Naturally, it's a good show of pretending to be a ghost."

Madam Yue's complexion changed slightly, and she smiled again: "Pretending to be a ghost? Why don't Mr. Gu tell me about it?"

"I can't ask for it." Gu Qi had a weird smile on his lips, "Just now, in the inner hall, suddenly there was a strong wind, and the inner hall was pitch black, and suddenly there was a voice from outside. Liansheng, let him return his life. Madam Yue, who do you think is the owner of this voice?"

"Please tell Mr. Gu."

"The owner of this voice is Madam Yue's second son, Yue Ziran." Gu Qi asked, "I didn't expect the ghost of the second son to be unwilling to be killed like this, and to identify the murderer himself before reincarnation. Find out the murderer who actually killed him for us, and thus return the eldest son's innocence."

"So that's how it is!" Madam Yue feigned anger, her face lit up with anger, she suddenly changed her expression, she lowered her head and wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "Poor my Yun'er, to suffer such injustice, I will definitely not Let the murderer Liansheng go!"

Gu Qi smiled but said, "Madam Yue, don't worry, that Liansheng has committed suicide and hanged himself in his room."

"Dead?" Madam Yue seemed taken aback.

"Exactly."

Madam Yue said sadly again: "My mother is incompetent, I can't personally avenge Ran'er, and if I want to die, Ran'er will find the murderer herself."

Gu Qi looked appreciatively in his eyes, scanned Madam Yue's body, and then said slowly: "It's strange, after the voice appeared, we went out to investigate immediately, and we found something."

Madam Yue's face tightened, and she forced the corners of her mouth to maintain a smile: "Could it be that the two of you still caught this ghost?"

Gu Qi smiled slightly, with a determined smile on his face: "Madam Yue is really smart, we just caught this pretending ghost!"

As soon as this remark came out, the other three couldn't help being shocked, especially Hui Qi, who was very surprised.

What does it mean to catch a ghost!

The three of them were together all the time, and they didn't see any ghosts after rushing out the door, so why did they catch the ghosts at this moment!Besides, Gu Qi himself swears that there are no ghosts and gods in this world, why is he still talking like this at this moment!

Hui Qi looked at the confident expression on Gu Qi's face, his thoughts were a little confused, could it be that he really caught it, did he not see it?But the three of them have been together, why didn't I see it?Or... Gu Qi, the old fox, is playing tricks again?

It must be playing tricks!Hui Qi was sure in her heart, if she hadn't been by Gu Qi's side all the time, she would have almost believed it!

It's just that she has been scrambling in the secular world since she was a child, and she is like that old fritters. In addition, she has been following Gu and Xu during this time, and she has learned a lot. Although her thoughts are messy in her heart, her face On the surface, he was still able to barely maintain a facial paralysis.

Besides, Mrs. Yue, when she heard Gu Qi's words, her mind was disturbed even when she was shocked, she looked at the other party's eyes and began to be suspicious, guessing in her heart, she still didn't know what the other party wanted to express, so she could only ask tentatively : "Then where is this ghost...?"

The corner of Gu Qi's mouth curled into a smile: "This ghost is not an ordinary thing. Unlike human beings, it only needs to be bound. I used some special methods to catch it. So I am afraid that I will release him by accident. come out."

Hearing Gu Qi's words, Madam Yue felt a little relieved in her heart. The other party's refusal must have been used to bluff people. Talking about catching ghosts is extremely absurd.Thinking this way in her heart, Madam Yue still tried to test her mouth: "That ghost is my son, but if Mr. Gu really catches him, let me take a look, so that I can satisfy me. The last side of my son."

"This..." Gu Qi had a look of embarrassment on his face, "It's not that I don't want to show it to Mrs. Yue, it's really inconvenient, why don't we watch it together after Master Zhong comes?"

Now Mrs. Yue is completely sure that what the other party said earlier was probably just nonsense and could not be taken seriously, she stretched out her hand to pull the hair by her ear, and sighed: "In this case, I can't force it, wait until Lord Zhong comes." Just watch it together."

Xu Yihua also had a pensive look in his eyes, he was thinking about the meaning of Gu Qi's words.

Different from Hui Qi, Xu Yihua can understand the meaning of the other party from the moment Gu Qi speaks. Gu Qi lied that he caught the ghost must be trying to test Mrs. Yue, but with Gu Qi's intelligence, he must have guessed that the other party wanted to If you put forward the action of checking, you will also think about the countermeasures in the future.But the current behavior is not as he guessed, Xu Yihua also didn't understand what Gu Qi meant.

Naturally, Zhong Weiyuan wouldn't come here so soon, the county government is still half an hour away from Yue's house, it's night again, Xu time has passed, and it will take nearly an hour before the other party wants to call people over.

"Mrs. Yue cares about the second son and the murderer Liansheng, why not care about the eldest son who is still in prison?" Gu Qi's eyes flashed.

Mrs. Yue said dejectedly: "Why don't you care, but now the truth is out, the murderer is Lian Sheng, Yun'er was just implicated by innocent people, Mr. Zhong can distinguish right from wrong, he will release Yun'er naturally, why should I worry. "

"If Mrs. Yue is not worried, why would she go to visit the eldest son in prison." The smile on Gu Qi's face was half a smile.

"When did I go there?" Mrs. Yue's body shook slightly.

"There is an old tree in front of the cell in Zhaoyuan County. The soil under the tree is red. It is the only one in the whole county. If Madam didn't go, where did the red mud on the soles come from?"

Huiqi's eyes couldn't help looking at Mrs. Yue's feet. She also had a pair of plain shoes on her feet, and she hid them under her skirt in a panic under everyone's gaze.But it was too late, and Hui Qi had already seen that not only the soles, but even the uppers were stained with a little red soil, most likely because they didn't pay attention in the panic.

"I must have left this when I went to see Yun'er last night." Mrs. Yue said in a panic.

"Then where is Madam tonight?" Gu Qi's eyes flashed, and he continued to ask.

"Naturally, I will rest in my room tonight." Madam Yue tried her best to calm down, "I will not be awakened until you come."

"Then when Liansheng committed suicide, where was Madam and why didn't she come to see us?"

"When I got up to wash up, I found that one of my gold hairpins was missing." Madam Yue said calmly, "So I called all the servants in the house to help me find something."

"It's such a coincidence that Madam lost something." Gu Qi sarcastically raised one corner of his mouth.

Madam Yue seemed to have regained her emotions at this time, and the smile they saw when they just entered the East Chamber was on her face again, and she said slowly: "Why, didn't Liansheng commit suicide? Could it be the three of you? Suspect me as a murderer?"

"No matter how much you suspect, I can't be the murderer of Liansheng, because I have an absolute alibi." Madam Yue said to herself, "Besides, you just said that it was Ran'er's ghost for."

"Oh?" A question suddenly came from behind, Zhong Weiyuan stepped forward, with a smile on his face, looking at Gu Qidao, "Mr. Gu, can I let the official see it too?"

Zhong Weiyuan!

He came so fast!

Gu Qi's eyes became sharp in an instant, but they became lazy again in the blink of an eye, looking very harmless. He smiled and turned to look at Mrs. Yue: "Mrs. Yue, the second son's ghost happened to be captured by the next It is locked in the coffin in that hall, now, let's go and see it together."

Madam Yue's face suddenly turned pale.
