General, he's cheating again

The blade cut off the fish bone and embedded it into the dark brown cutting board, making a "thumping" sound. A young man wearing a dark blue hair scarf was standing by the stove at this moment, holding the cutting board with one hand and chopping fish pieces with the other hand.

The dining room was dimly lit, and a fire was burning in the stove, and the light of the fire was faintly reflected on the dark wall.

And the cook seems to like such a cold and humid place very much. His cold white skin and thin and languid figure all mean that he is a person who likes to be quiet and hates the sun.

In order to be able to work in such an environment for a long time, the young cook doesn't mind doing this repetitive work every day.

It can even be said that this kind of work is a bit boring and tiring, because the cook has to chop the fresh live fish purchased into the dining room into fish pieces before it is dawn every day, and then remove the bones from the fish meat, Hand over the processed fish to the servants in charge of delivery and bring it into various taverns and inns.

After a busy day, it is often late at night when the cook returns home.

"That's him, my lords."

Outside the dining room, a plainly dressed, plump woman pointed her finger at the cook who was in the dark, and said to Miyamoto and Qin Qingrong, "He is my husband's younger brother, and everyone calls him Aye on weekdays." .

And in the past few days, he always confides to my husband that he usually lowers his head when working most of the time, and the cervical spine becomes more and more overwhelmed after a long time.

Now he feels dizzy at every turn, and his neck is extremely sore. "

"Madam, according to Ah Ye's working environment, it's normal for him to suffer from this disease."

Miyamoto-kun folded his arms tightly, observed the woman's words and deeds very carefully and asked questions, "But what does this have to do with you saying that he killed your husband?"

"My lord, you don't know.

Although the old man and the old lady passed on the dining room to their brothers after their death, the younger brother gave up his part of the inheritance right at the beginning because he said that he had no business mind and didn't like dealing with people.

It is not easy for my father-in-law to support the property left by his parents alone, no less than his younger brother's hard work, or even more. "

The woman covered her face with her wide sleeves, sobbing and shaking her head, "My husband has always doted on his younger brother. These days, my younger brother complains to us that he is tired and his neck hurts. Every time he goes back to the house to rest in the middle of the night, his younger brother Then I will ask my husband to help him apply the plaster.

In fact, I know that my younger brother just wants to get his half of the property back from my husband.But he just said what he wanted, Xianggong has always loved him very much, if he opened his mouth, I think Xianggong will definitely return the property to him.

But no one expected that the younger brother turned out to be a murderous maniac.He has been chopping fish with a knife for so many years, and finally chopped his brother himself.

Now that my father-in-law is dead without a whole body, I ask the adults to avenge my father-in-law! "

Hearing the words, he couldn't help but recall the vat of corpses soaked in salt water just now, Qin Qingrong felt sick in his stomach, but suppressed his calmness on his face, and repeated the few loopholes he caught from the woman's description just now, "Ma'am, my condolences have changed.

From what you said just now, it is not difficult to hear that the relationship between your husband and your younger brother is quite deep.

Let me ask you now, if your husband-in-law is still alive at this moment, and he agrees to give you half of the family property to Ah Ye, what is your attitude? "

"My lord, I am an ordinary woman, so how could I have such a big ambition to steal my family property."

As she spoke, the woman turned her face away, and said with a hint of anger, "I am not the kind of person who is greedy for money, I just want to live a stable life. So if my brother wants it, I will definitely agree to return the property to him. My lord, you Are you doubting me?

I rely on my husband-in-law to support my family, gain a foothold in this world, and do what I can to kill him.My lord, you still suspect me, what a shame! "

This woman is really eloquent, Qin Qingrong just asked a question, and she immediately responded with seven or eight sentences.

With a helpless smile on her face, Qin Qingrong spoke to calm the woman's emotions, "Madam is worrying too much, you must know that only by asking every detail clearly can you truly grasp the real culprit behind the case.

In the process of narrating just now, Madam has a lot of subjective emotions of her own, so Madam's narration cannot be judged as true in its entirety.

If I'm not mistaken, I don't think Ma'am seems to like your husband's brother very much. "

You could even say, hate.And this kind of hatred is accumulated in the bottom of my heart for a long time, and it has a long-lasting taste like a jar of old wine.

"My lord, you are right.

I have always been at odds with his brother, he repelled me, and I saw him disgusted. "

The woman turned to look at the figure chopping fish with a knife in the house not far away, her eyes dimmed, "However, after I found out that his brother's spirit was not normal, I slowly relieved.

Xianggong only has his brother as his relative left, so I can't let Xianggong sever ties with his brother because of some quarrels?

Adults, since you are going to meet him later, I won't go.

I have to take care of the funeral, so let me say my goodbyes first. "

When the woman went away sobbing, Mr. Miyamoto looked at Qin Qingrong and Gu Zhen and sighed softly, "My lords, it seems that this case is not as simple as we thought, and the emotional issues involved are quite serious. complex."

Although the king meant to let him and Qin Qingrong compete to see who is better at solving the case, but Mr. Miyamoto completely put this matter behind him, and now he has become friends with Gu Zhen and Qin Qingrong.

And this Mr. Miyamoto is still a veritable foodie. He came to the inn where Gu Zhen and others lived early this morning, and then took them to eat his favorite ramen in soft-boiled egg soup.

And everyone saw that this foodie detective had a really interesting personality, so after eating the ramen, they followed him for half a street to taste the extremely sweet and sticky wagashi he said, and then dispersed.

However, although Qin Qingrong had a stomach full of delicious food early in the morning, when he saw the vat of broken corpses, he no longer felt that the food in his stomach was delicious.

At this moment, he followed Miyamoto and Gu Zhen into the dining room and smelled the smell of fish in the room, and couldn't help but ran to the old tree in the courtyard to vomit incessantly.

Seeing Qin Qingrong's behavior, Gu Zhen couldn't help stroking his forehead, and then politely bowed to Ah Ye who had stopped his hands and raised his eyes to look at them, not wanting to slander Qin Qingrong, "I wonder if I can ask you for a bowl of clean water, people outside Vomiting really hard.

Don't be surprised, because he is so weak and unable to take care of himself on weekdays, so he often relies on me to take care of him. "

Hearing this, Ah Ye wiped his hands clean, then squatted down expressionlessly and took out a clean bowl filled with water from the cupboard and handed it to Gu Zhen.

Gu Zhen froze for a moment when he took the bowl, because he found that Ah Ye was using his left hand.

Subconsciously looking at the chopping board vigilantly, I saw that the handle of the knife was also placed on the left side of the chopping board.

From this, Gu Zhen only said that Ah Ye seemed to be left-handed.

Under the old tree, Qin Qingrong, who got a bowl of clear water to rinse her mouth, looked at Gu Zhen with a touch of emotion.Gu Zhen only looked at Qin Qingrong and smiled faintly, and then reminded Qin Qingrong: "Don't say that this general cheated for you, I found out that Ah Ye is left-handed."

Qin Qingrong blushed, "Miyamoto-kun can be regarded as Dongpu's detective, and he can definitely discover what you can find.

And I will definitely notice it without you reminding me, so you don't have to hide it behind Miyamoto-kun's back. "

"Anyway, it's a competition. Can you two respect me, the general and the lord?"

Seeing that Qin Qingrong didn't know good from bad, Gu Zhen curled up one corner of his mouth to show displeasure, "This competition is almost turned into a friendly match by the two of you.

Be aware that left-handers and right-handers fall into fbjq.

The cutting direction of the knife is different. If the murderer is left-handed, the final cross-section of the body will be narrower on the right and wider on the left.

Therefore, we may take another look at the corpse later. If it is not as I said above, then Aye's suspicion can be ruled out. "

"Ah, I still want to see..."

Hearing this, Qin Qingrong's stomach, which was better than Fang Fang's, became more uncomfortable at the moment.

At the entrance of the dining room, because Miyamoto had waited for Gu and Qin for a long time, he finally couldn't bear it anymore and walked out of the door with big eyes and small eyes with Ah Ye and asked, "Young master Qin, do you feel better?"

Knowing that Mr. Miyamoto was in a hurry, Qin Qingrong had no choice but to handle the case with injuries and return to the dining room.

"You were the last person your brother saw before he was dismembered. Do you know where he went after he left your residence?"

Miyamoto-kun did not tell the news that the woman identified Aye as the murderer, but first confronted Aye with a confession.

Ah Ye buried his head very low, and the expression on his face could hardly be seen, but the three of them could still feel the tension of Ah Ye.

"My brother helped me apply the plaster, and then he went back to the bedroom.

As for your claim that I was the last person he saw during his lifetime, that may not be the case.It is also possible that he was with his sister-in-law before he died. "

Unexpectedly, Aye could answer in such a calm and natural manner, and could turn against Miyamoto-kun. Qin Qingrong was afraid that Miyamoto-kun would be stopped by Aye, and then said: "You must know that your brother's body was killed by your sister-in-law and how many of you Mingjia Ding found it at the foot of the backyard wall of the dining room, so when did your brother leave your residence?"

"Haishi."

After answering, Ah Ye buried his head even lower, and his words became deeper and deeper.

"It's late at Haishi, your brother stayed in your room for so long just putting on plasters?"

Gu Zhen glanced at A Ye vigilantly, and said sharply, "Could it be that your sister-in-law didn't come to see your brother during this time?

If Xianggong didn't return at midnight, she would be worried. "

Facing Gu Zhen's questioning, Ah Ye slowly raised his head and still looked calm, but there was a weird smile on the corner of his lips, "My brother just stayed with me to reminisce about our childhood, and we chatted for a while and forgot to go home, so we stayed late.

As for the sister-in-law, she should have been here, because I remember hearing footsteps outside the door.However, I didn't stop her, because I thought she should be very angry, so why should I touch the prick. "

"Aren't you sad that your brother is dead?"

Judging from Aye's reaction, Miyamoto-kun felt that Aye's expression was too calm, which made people suspicious.

But Ah Ye sighed coldly when he heard the words, and snorted self-deprecatingly, "Hasn't Mr. Detective even heard of the words that there is nothing more sorrow than death?

Is the only way to express sadness is crying?Like, my sister-in-law? "
