Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

The man in the prison had disheveled hair and sat cross-legged on the straw with his back facing outside. He was wearing a white prison uniform, but it was already very dirty. Several shocking welts could still be seen from the torn prison uniform. If it wasn't handled properly, you could even see faint blood oozing from it.

Almost all the guards in the prison were mobilized to arrest the escaped prisoners. Except for the prisoners, the inside was empty and unguarded, and Gu Qi and the others easily entered it.

The cells where the prisoners were originally held have all been emptied, and there is only one person in this cell, with a hunched back coughing lightly.

Gu Qi has been holding on to the wooden railing of the cell, with one hand tucked in his sleeve, his gaze swept over the man inside: "Zhao Qing?"

The man inside turned his head, it was a expressionless face, with the indelible dark color of the miners, unkempt, and deeply haggard.The man moved his lips, and a barely audible voice came out: "Who are you?"

"Are you really Zhao Qing?" Hui Qi was surprised, and hurriedly threw himself on the railing to look at Zhao Qing carefully, "But Sun Youcai said you were dead."

"I'm not dead." Zhao Qing said blankly, "They don't dare to kill me either."

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and said: "If my guess is correct, you must have Feng Kejie's handle, so they dare not touch you."

"That's right." Zhao Qing nodded without hesitation, "I have a letter between Sun Youcai and a certain official in the capital."

Hearing this news, Xu Yihua was even more excited than Gu Qi. After all, it had always been his wish to find out the joints inside. At this moment, he couldn't wait to ask: "Where is that letter?"

Zhao Qing sneered: "How could I tell you, you corrupt officials, as soon as I die, this letter will be published by my friends, and then I will see how you escape alone!"

"We are not with Feng Kejie." Xu Yihua frowned.

Zhao Qing took a sip hard, and became emotional all of a sudden, waving his hands indiscriminately, causing the iron shackles on his body to clang: "Come on! Haven't you played this trick a long time ago, and you still want to Pretending to be garlic in front of me, cheating on my letter, dreaming!"

"We're really not..." Xu Yihua hastily explained, but Zhao Qing simply couldn't listen.

Gu Qi withdrew his hand that had been on the railing, and put it into his sleeve: "Do you still remember the collapse of the Tiangou Mountain Coal Mine a year ago?"

Zhao Qing suddenly became quiet.

"At that time, it was announced that 28 people had died..."

"Fart!" Zhao Qing almost jumped up from the ground, this action touched his wound, and he grinned in pain, "At that time... At that time, 41 people obviously died!"

Gu Qi didn't care about him, and said to himself: "At that time, someone came to investigate the case, but he didn't find out the truth. Instead, he made someone else a scapegoat. All eleven members of the family hanged themselves..."

"Then don't blame him... don't blame him..." Zhao Qing muttered to himself, "He is also working very hard to investigate the case, no one blames him... It's because we are too disappointing, blame us..."

Zhao Qing's tone gradually lowered, he drooped his head, and grabbed his hair with both hands in pain: "It's our fault..."

Gu Qi took a deep breath: "Now that he is investigating the case again, what will you do?"

"I survived the Tiangushan coal mine collapse. I didn't stand up that time. I was sorry for the 41 people who died. Now I will never be sorry for the 83 people who died. They are all lives..."

"Where is that letter?" Gu Qi said seriously, "Tell me."

Zhao Qing gradually understood at this time, he looked at the person in front of him in surprise, and seemed to guess his identity in his heart: "You...you are..."

"That's right." Gu Qi nodded, "I am the Shuiyoufeng back then, and now I have been appointed as an imperial envoy by the current emperor, and I came here to investigate the Qianniaoshan coal mine collapse that happened not long ago. place, I hope to have your cooperation."

Zhao Qing clasped his hands tightly together: "How can I cooperate?"

"Three days later, you tell Feng Kejie that you have to take him to get the letter yourself, and we will arrange manpower and wait for them to come in. At that time, someone will come to ask you about the details of the collapse of the coal mine. You just need to tell the truth. Just say it." Gu Qidao, "Liu Sanniang is also very good."

Zhao Qing glanced at Gu Qi gratefully: "I will."

"I need you to persevere in the prison for a few days."

"It's okay, they don't dare to kill me anyway." Zhao Qing had a sneer on his face, "I will watch them die with my own eyes!"

Coming out of the prison, Xu Yihua finally showed a relaxed expression on his face, while Gu Qi was uncharacteristically silent.

The expression on Gu Qi's face not only did not relax, but showed a little heaviness.

"What's the matter?" Xu Yihua was puzzled, "Isn't the case almost over? Someone has already testified, plus the roster, account books, and letters are all ready, this time Feng Kejie will definitely pay for it."

Gu Qi rubbed his eyebrows wearily: "It's nothing, I always feel a little uneasy."

"Uneasy..." Xu Yihua frowned, "Are you worried about something?"

"I don't know." Gu Qi shook his head, "I felt uneasy when I got out of the prison, and this feeling became more obvious after I got out. I think something might happen."

Xu Yihua never doubted Gu Qi's feelings, the facts proved that Gu Qi's feelings never went wrong: "Your feelings can't be wrong."

Gu Qi took a deep breath irritably, and suppressed the feeling in his heart: "There should be nothing wrong, maybe it's because I was thinking too much, let's go."

There was only a small door left on the high outer wall. When Gu Qi and the others came out of the cell, there was no sunlight outside, and there was no sunlight here at first, and it was completely covered by Gao Qiang behind him.

Outside was an extremely quiet narrow street, the ground was paved with bluestone slabs, glowing faintly, and the cold wind swirled in, messing up Gu Qi's long cloak.

Hui Qi breathed a sigh of relief towards the palm of his hand, and shrank his shoulders: "It's so cold."

The three of them walked slowly on the deserted street, ignoring the cold wind, just leisurely: "Feng Kejie heard that those prisoners have all run away, are they also packing up their things and preparing to run away?"

"It's hard to say." Gu Qi shrank his shoulders like Hui Qi, and suddenly stretched out Xu Yihua's hands beside him, and tied the cloak carefully for him, "If the one above wants to protect him, maybe he will pull out another one Scapegoat."

"It makes sense." Hui Qi nodded, "Then what should we do, isn't our effort wasted?"

"But now we have letters between Feng Kejie and the person above. That official has been exposed by Feng Kejie. He must have hated him to the bone at this moment. He wished to kill him earlier, so how could he be kept?"

Huiqi clicked his tongue: "Dark officialdom."

"Seven emotions and six desires, greed is the top desire, it's not just talk." Gu Qi sighed, then turned to ask Xu Yihua, "What are you greedy for?"

Xu Yihua paused, then held Gu Qi's hand: "You."

Huiqi: "..."

Why do I feel so lonely all of a sudden...

After walking not far, they encountered a fork, one of which was still going straight forward, and the other branched off and turned to the right.

"It's almost noon now." Gu Qi smiled, then patted Xu Yihua on the shoulder, "Go to the place Zhao Qing said and get the letter out."

"Alright." Xu Yihua nodded, "I'll go and come back soon."

Huiqi waved his little hand: "I'll wait for you for lunch, Mr. Xu~~"

Xu Yihua nodded, turned around and walked to the right.

As soon as he walked away, Gu Qi grabbed Hui Qi's wrist: "Let's go back to the Yamen quickly."

"What's wrong?" Hui Qi was puzzled.

Gu Qi frowned tightly: "I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, hurry back to the Yamen, it's the safest place."

Hui Qi's expression changed, and the two walked quickly.

"Wait!" Gu Qi suddenly stopped, "It's murderous."

Huiqi's heart skipped a beat, and she looked around nervously.

Although Gu Qi has lost his martial arts now, his body is still very sensitive to murderous aura, especially this murderous aura is almost locked on him, making his hairs stand on end.

"Where is it, where is it?" Hui Qi was so frightened that he went straight to hide behind Gu Qi.

Xu Yihua had just left, neither he nor Huiqi had any martial arts, the combined strength of the two was equal to half a person, if they were really in danger now, they would have no ability to resist.

"Feng Kejie!" Gu Qi calmly led Hui Qi back, and the two gradually leaned their backs against the high wall, looking around vigilantly.

The person must be Feng Kejie's person. I didn't expect the other party to be so impatient and make such a stupid decision so quickly. He actually wanted to send someone to kill him. He chose a time when Xu Yihua was not around.

I don't know how many people Feng Kejie sent this time, but no matter how many killers came, there is absolutely no possibility for them to escape. The only way is to ask Xu Yihua for help, hoping that the other party has not gone far.

"Call!" Gu Qi squeezed Hui Qi's hand.

"Ah!!!!!!!" Huiqi suddenly yelled like killing a pig.

"Not good!" The killers hiding in the dark glanced at each other, and immediately jumped out from behind the high wall, approaching Gu Qi and the two.

"Not good!" Xu Yihua, who had already walked far away, could still faintly hear the movement because of his kung fu, his expression changed, and he immediately turned around and ran away.

four people……

There were a total of four people surrounded in front of them, each separated into an encircling manner and gradually surrounded them.

"Who are you guys?" Gu Qi asked calmly, he wanted to delay a little bit.

"Don't worry about it!" The man with a black cloth on his face said in a muffled voice, holding a machete in his hand, "You just know that someone wants your life."

"Is it Feng Kejie?" Gu Qi took another step back.

This time, no one spoke again, and the masked man who was talking in between directly stepped forward with a knife in his hand, and stabbed him hard.

The other three people blocked all of Gu Qi's exits, and Hui Qi was behind him. It was absolutely impossible to retreat at this time. He gritted his teeth and was about to raise his leg to kick the knife.

But he knew that doing so was useless, the strength of the two could not be compared at all, and he was nothing more than a mantis doing nothing.

Suddenly, there was a push from behind, and Hui Qi sprinted in front of Gu Qi, and his whole body hit the point of the knife.

With a sound of "噗嗤", the tip of the knife was inserted into Huiqi's chest fiercely, and blood gushed out.

All those movements seemed to have become extremely slow at that moment, but Gu Qi could only watch Hui Qi's little face distorted, pale, and gray, and as her body slipped, she disappeared from sight. Get blurry.

"Little bald head..."
