Cheng Ping's legacy

After half a stick of incense, Zhou Wu came back with a livid face: "Zhao Kui was poisoned to death."

After finishing speaking, there was a dead silence in the hall.

Xiaodouzi asked tremblingly, "Do you want to report to the government?"

Qian Zhongwen gave him a slap as soon as he changed hands: "Report, report, report to what official?!"

Zhou Wu looked at Zheng Qiniang, his gentle skin dropped, showing a snake-like smile: "Tell me, where did that box go?"

Everyone except Qin Pei looked at her, but Zheng Qiniang just lowered her head and did not answer.

"You woman, how vicious!" Qian Zhongwen said bitterly, "Just for the sake of monopolizing yourself, you even murdered your own husband and even killed Sun Ji. Let me ask you, where did Wu Luxi go?"

Zheng Qiniang raised her head suddenly, her face under the gouache was extremely distorted: "He's dead, I killed him and threw him on the ferry."

"What about the box?" Zhou Wu grabbed her by the throat.

Zheng Qiniang looked at Qin Pei with an extremely weird smile.

Qin Pei's heart sank, and he scolded Li Yinxi bloody in his heart, but his face was very calm.

Zheng Qiniang said softly, "It was taken away by that young master surnamed Li."

Zhou Wu was about to look for him, but Qin Pei said flatly, "He has already left."

Qian Zhongwen grabbed his waistband: "Tell me, how long has he been gone and where has he been? Tell me!"

Qin Pei didn't move and let him drag him, then sneered and said, "What a fool."

Qian Zhongwen was furious, and was about to make a move when he heard Zhou Wu say, "Brother Qian, calm down, I think there seems to be deep meaning in his words, why don't you just listen to him."

"Why don't you sit down and talk slowly?" Qin Pei shook off Qian Zhongwen's hand and sat down by the window first.

"I don't care what you are looking for, you must have met before, right?"

"so what?"

"I don't need to talk too much, you should also know that Li Chongshuang was not the top player in the store before." Qin Pei observed the expressions of several people, and continued, "Li Chongshuang has long since died, and he is also at Dutou. What you saw was just a Irrelevant juniors, after picking up your invitations, they will happily come and join in the grand event."

His tone was sarcastic, but the others didn't care, they just listened anxiously.

Qin Pei took a sip of tea: "I don't know if you have thought about a question so far, who sent this invitation?"

Zheng Qiniang looked flustered, and answered immediately: "It was written by my family!"

Qin Pei waved his hand: "Don't mention anything else, dare to ask, are you literate, lady boss?"

Zhou Wu took out the invitation card from his bosom, and went to the cabinet to find the account book, his face turned pale: "It's not Zhao Kui's handwriting either."

"This person knows the past, and was able to burn Sun Ji to death in the middle of the night, and let Zhao Kui drink the tea or dishes he sent without doubt. There is no doubt that he should be someone who came and went to Xilai Inn within a few days." Qin Qin Pei Shen thought, "Zhao Kui, Kui is one; Qian Zhongwen, Zhong is two; Sun Ji, Ji is three; Li Chongshuang, Chongshuang is four; Zhou Wu, Wu is five; Wu Luxi, Lu is six; Needless to say...your surnames also happen to be Zhao Qiansunli Zhou Wuzheng, isn't this a coincidence?"

Zhou Wujie laughed strangely: "I really don't know if you're really smart or just a little smart, but now that you've given us the whole thing, aren't you worried about your own life?"

Qin Pei asked back: "Don't you want to know the whereabouts of 'Li Chongshuang' and the box?"

Zhou Wu remained silent, and Qin Peicai continued: "My guess is that many years ago, you conspired to murder someone and got a lot of silver from him. Since then, you have changed your name and surname. And this box must be that person. You will protect it until your death. You think you can get more benefits from this box, but you can’t open it. After discussing, you made a covenant, and Zhao Kui and Zheng Qiniang stayed here to build the six complete boxes. The town guards the box. More than ten years later, when you received the invitation, you thought you had news about the box, but you were caught in an ambush and died here one after another."

Seeing that everyone looked weird, Qin Pei nodded: "It seems that I am right."

"Don't play tricks, since you think you are smart, please tell us, if it's not Zheng Qiniang, who is the person behind it?"

Qin Pei shook his head: "I don't have conclusive evidence, but I have a ten-to-nine guess in my heart." He glanced coldly at Xiaodouzi, "Poor parents all over the world, you killed Li Chongshuang, Sun Ji, and Wu Luxi successively. With Zhao Kui, Zheng Qiniang is willing to cover up and even take the blame for you. If she dies because of you in the end, then you will have five lives in your hands."

Xiaodouzi still stared at him stupidly, holding the big tiger cat in his hands, while Zheng Qiniang stood up abruptly, and said hoarsely: "One person does the work and the other is responsible, so don't talk nonsense!"

Qin Pei got up and approached her slowly: "The person who died in this case is definitely not the culprit, and the suspicion of Qian and Zhou's people can also be cleared."

"How?" Zheng Qiniang's hair was disheveled, her face was pale, and she looked at Qin Pei with hatred like a ghost.

"Zhou Wu, do you still remember that after Sun Ji was burned to death, the policeman Hu quickly came to ask, what did you say at that time?"

Zhou Wu frowned: "After a few days, I said so many things again, how can I remember?"

Qin Pei shook his head: "You said that you heard Qian Xuanyi leave the room and came back after a long time."

"Yes, so what?"

"Boss Qian, if I remember correctly, you should have been in Li Chongshuang's room at that time, right?"

Embarrassment flashed across Qian Zhongwen's face, but he still nodded: "Not bad."

"Li Chongshuang and I tried it in Sun Ji's room. Assuming Zhou Wu wasn't in his room, he wouldn't be able to hear Qian Zhongwen go back to the room. Besides Wu Luxi who died unexpectedly and Boss Zhao who just died suddenly, it might be possible. There are only two—Zheng Qiniang and Xiaodouzi."

Xiaodouzi hugged the cat tightly, with tears in his eyes: "It's not me, I didn't kill anyone!"

I don't know if it was fear or guilty conscience, but his hand was so strong that the tiger cat hissed like a night owl.

Qin Pei turned to look at Zheng Qiniang: "He doesn't know you've been helping him, or even why you're helping him, why bother." Seeing that Zheng Qiniang was silent, he said, "Then let me ask you, what kind of weapon did Wu Luxi kill? "

Zheng Qiniang clenched her lower lip: "Knife."

Qin Pei sneered, Zheng Qiniang cowardly said: "Axe."

Qin Pei just looked at her indifferently, while Qian Zhou and others slowly moved towards Xiaodouzi with a murderous look on his face.

Xiaodouzi threw the tiger cat to the ground suddenly, rushed towards Qin Pei, and grabbed his throat with both hands.

The two of them were still fighting, Qian Zhou was stunned in place, and Zheng Qiniang was crazy, repeating: "I killed it, I killed it all."
