Gu Qi's case-solving manuscript

According to what Aunt Jing said, Zheng Ji was not unhappy because of Qintong's breaking the appointment, but in Qian Ke's words, Zheng Ji lost his temper because of this incident. The testimony of the two parties is different, and who is behind Lying, is it necessary to lie about this kind of thing?

"I don't know who Aunt Jing sent to tell Zheng Ji?"

"Why?" Aunt Jing showed a strange expression on her face, "Are you still doubting him?"

"Who is he?" Gu Qi asked.

Aunt Jing paused for a moment, then turned her gaze to the lobby on the first floor, and after thinking for a moment, her interest faded: "It's that turtle man just now, Chen Qi."

Chen Qi?

"No!" Xu Yihua frowned suddenly.

"Why?"

"At that time, what Qian Ke said was that a girl came to the building, but what you said was that Chen Qi, the tortoise, was sent to go there. It's not right at all."

Aunt Jing said that it was Chen Qi who told Zheng Ji Qintong that she was not feeling well and could not go to the appointment. He said that Zheng Ji was not unhappy, but asked Qintong to rest more.But in the morning, Qian Keming said that Zheng Ji was very unhappy because of this incident that night, and lost his temper in the room afterwards.

The most important thing is that Qian can be said to be the girl in the building, and Aunt Jing said it is Mr. Turtle. There is such a big difference between men and women, there is no possibility of misjudging Qian.

Since Qian didn't lie, then Aunt Jing was lying.

"I obviously asked Chen Qi to go and notify." Aunt Jing's face became serious.

Aunt Jing probably wouldn't lie about this matter either, that is something wrong with Chen Qi.

"Aunt Jing, can you meet Chen Qi with us?"

Following Aunt Jing, Gu Qi and Xu Yihua walked towards the backyard.

Thinking about Aunt Jing's attitude and what she just said, it's not difficult for Gu Qi to deduce that this Chen Qi must have stayed in Zuixianlou for several years and is an old man here, but because of some things that Aunt Jing doesn't like, Even so, Chen Qi did not leave.

Generally speaking, the tortoises in brothels seldom sign a contract of sale. They are only here on an errand, not from the brothel. If this is the case, why Chen Qi still suffers from Aunt Jing's sarcastic remarks here.

Moreover, judging from the current contact, Aunt Jing is a well-bred woman. Although she is a brothel woman, her overall demeanor is like a lady of everyone, especially when she often has a smile on her face. It seems easy to get along with, but never thought of treating others like this.

The key is why something went wrong in the middle.

"There seem to be many stories here." Xu Yihua sighed.

Gu Qi said coldly: "We're not here to listen to stories."

Xu Yihua was dumbfounded: "That's true."

Entering the backyard, the faint moonlight and the little lights made the bamboo forest path even darker and more secluded, but laughter could still be heard, Xu Yihua said: "I'll go to the front and ask."

Aunt Jing forced a smile and said, "No, I know where Chen Qi is."

He was asked to send the things back to the house just now, presumably Chen Qi should still be near Qintong Xiaolou at this moment.

When I arrived at Qintong's residence, I saw a person sitting in the yard blankly with his back turned to the outside, looking at something with his face upturned.

"Chen Qi?" Xu Yihua called out tentatively.

The man immediately recovered after hearing the words, and turned to look at them: "Aunt Jing."

Aunt Jing nodded coldly.

This person is indeed Chen Qi.

"Let me introduce you, this is Young Master Xu Yihua, and this is Young Master Gu Qi."

When he got close, Gu Qi couldn't help being startled. It turned out that Chen Qi was not only lame, but also blind in his right eye. He could only see the gray cloud of his eye, which looked a little creepy under the moonlight.

Although he was a little surprised in his heart, Gu Qi didn't show it on his face: "My name is Gu Qi, and this is Xu Yihua. We are helping Wei Zhizhou investigate the case. This time, I want to ask some questions."

Xu Yihua was stunned by Gu Qi's shameless face, he really dared to move Wei Zhizhou out.

Hearing that these two people were sent by Wei Zhizhou, Chen Qi glanced at Aunt Jing, and quickly bent over and said: "I don't know if the two adults are here, if there is anything that needs the help of the villain, the villain will definitely go through fire and water. .”

Gu Qi nodded in satisfaction, and sat on the stone bench like a gentleman: "We want to check Miss Qintong's room."

"No." Chen Qi refused straight away, without any intention of saying that he would go through fire and water just now.

"Cough." Xu Yihua coughed, and secretly gave Gu Qi a glance, "I want to ask you a few questions."

"Please, sir."

"Last night, were you the one who went to the Yuelai Inn to inform Mr. Zheng Ji that Miss Qintong was unwell and could not go to the appointment?"

Chen Qi said: "No."

Gu Qi raised his eyebrows.

He was quite generous in admitting it.

"I clearly asked you to go, why didn't you go?" Aunt Jing said coldly.

Chen Qi whispered: "At that time, Miss Qintong was not feeling well and wanted to take a bath. The villain was boiling water and couldn't get away, so she found a girl to pass the message for the villain."

"Oh?" Aunt Jing wondered, "Is there a girl in this building who is willing to pass the message for you?"

Chen Qi had a shy expression on his face: "Little man... still has some broken silver..."

"Who did you ask to help you pass the message?" Aunt Jing asked.

"Miss Yinger." Chen Qi pleaded, "Please don't make things difficult for Aunt Jing."

"When will I feel sorry for others in this building?" Aunt Jing said.

These two...

Gu Qi squinted his eyes, it was too strange.

What the hell did Chen Qi do to make Aunt Jing dislike him so much, and why no girl in this building is willing to do him a favor?

What caused his lameness and blindness? Is it related to the attitude of the people towards him?

Seeing that Chen Qi doesn't seem to be very old, about thirty or so, if there is any love affair with Aunt Jing, it seems that the age is not right, could it be that he has some past with Miss Qintong?

It seems that Xu Yihua is right, there are some stories in this Drunken Immortal Building, and now he also wants to hear a few of them.

"Qian Ke clearly said that Mr. Zheng Ji lost his temper because of this incident. Why is your statement different from his?"

"The words Mr. Zheng said are really not very nice." Chen Qi said, "I just don't want these words to reach Miss Qintong's ears."

Xu Yihua was about to ask some more questions, but suddenly a person hurried in from outside the building, and said something in Aunt Jing's ear.

Aunt Jing thought for a while and said: "The front office is still doing business, so it's inconvenient, you go and invite Wei Zhizhou and others here, and by the way, tell Ying Er to come here quickly."

"Yes." The man hurried away again.

After a while, Wei Zhizhou and a group of people soon arrived at the small building where Miss Qintong lived, and Aunt Jing hurriedly asked them to come in.

After entering, Gu Qi realized that Miss Qintong who had just left was also following behind Wei Zhizhou, and Miss Wan Ping was serving beside her, and behind her, Hui Qi had a small bald head, piercing Drilled to the side of the two of them.

"Qintong." Aunt Jing hurried forward and asked with concern, "Why are you back?"

Qintong dodged unnaturally: "Master Wei has something to ask, so he asked me to come back."

"You are weak, you should sit down first." Aunt Jing said.

Qin Tong said softly: "Thank you, Aunt Jing."

Aunt Jing asked Wan Ping to help Qin Tong to sit aside, and then said to everyone apologetically: "Please forgive me, Qin Tong has been coughing for the past few days, I am worried that she is weak and cannot bear it. If If there is any disrespect to the adults, please don't mind the adults."

"Where is it?" Wei Zhizhou shook his head, and sat down beside him. His eyes scanned the surroundings, and only then did he find Gu and Xu, "Mr. Xu is there too?"

"We came here only after we saw Wei Cheng's body."

"Thank you also for protecting the dead body for me."

Xu Yihua cupped his hands and said, "It should."

"Wei Cheng's body?" Aunt Jing asked in surprise.

"I forgot to tell you." Xu Yihua had a little apology on his face, "We came to you just now because we found Wei Cheng's body on the bank, he was also killed by a sword, and then thrown into the river. "

"The official has asked Wu Zuo to examine the body. Wei Cheng had just died at that time."

"That's right." Xu Yihua said, "According to the time estimate, it's about the time when the students and Gu Qi just left the Zuixian Tower after the meeting with Qin in the Zuixian Tower."

"At that time..." Wei Zhizhou said, "In the past few days, because of Miss Qintong's friendship with Qintong, a large number of outsiders have poured into Jiangzhou City. The population is mixed, so it is difficult to check."

"The scope is not that big." Gu Qi shook his head, "There are a few doubts in this case, and the grassroots don't understand it yet. Coincidentally, Qian Ke is here, and he can help answer one or two."

Qian Ke hurriedly said: "As long as you guys have the confidence to find out the truth of this case, and find the murderer for my young master, Qian Ke will go through fire and water and die."

Another person who would go through fire and water to die, Gu Qi glanced at Chen Qi, who lowered his head and tried to hide himself in the shadows.

"Before I heard Aunt Jing say that Mr. Zheng stayed in Jiangzhou City for half a year, but is it true?"

"good."

"Where did Mr. Zheng live before?"

"Watching the Moon Inn."

"Then why did you temporarily change to the Pleasure Inn last night?"

Qian Ke hesitated.

"Steward Qian, go ahead." Wei Zhizhou persuaded, "You are not ignorant of Mr. Xu's ability to handle cases. If you want the other party to find out the real culprit who killed your young master for you, you must know everything." , endless words."

"The young master has been staying in Jiangzhou City for a long time. The silver he brought earlier has already been spent. The rooms in the Moon-Watching Inn are expensive, so I persuaded the young master to move to the Yuelai Inn."

"Who did you tell about your young master moving to Yuelai Inn?"

Qian Ke was startled, and looked at Miss Qintong.

Qintong shook her head quickly, and looked at Aunt Jing as if asking for help: "It's not me..."

"It's not Qintong." Aunt Jing stood up frowning, "She coughed a few times, then told me Mr. Zheng's address, and asked me to decline, and I told Chen Qi."

Chen Qi still lowered his head and did not speak.

"Chen Qi didn't go there at the time, so he must have told Miss Ying Er the address." Gu Qidao, "But Cao Min guessed that Miss Wan Ping, who has been serving Miss Qintong, should also know about it?"

Wan Ping nodded calmly.

"Wonderful!" Wei Zhizhou clapped his hands with joy on his face, "In this way, the scope of the murderer will be greatly reduced, leaving only these five people."

A smile appeared on the corner of Gu Qi's mouth.

"That's right." Xu Yihua looked at Gu Qi with some doubts in his eyes, "In Jiangzhou City, although there are not many people who know Mr. Zheng, there are definitely not many people. There must be many people who know Wei Cheng, but at the same time They, there are not many people who can still know their whereabouts, so on the other hand, it can also be deduced that the murderer must be someone who knows both of them."

As soon as the words were said, a person walked in from outside, wearing a pink skirt, his facial features could only be regarded as delicate, but he was not surprised to see so many people in the room: "Aunt Jing, are you looking for me?"

"At that time, you went to tell Mr. Zheng that Miss Qintong was unwell?"

"It's me." The little girl said.

It seems that this is Ying'er, and she really looks like someone from Zuixianlou.

"Do you know where Mr. Zheng Ji lives?" Gu Qi asked.

Yinger nodded and said, "I know, Chen Qi told me."

"Now the range of the murderer has been locked." Wei Zhizhou stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, "The rest is to ask everyone for their alibi."

Gu Qi glanced around among the five people, and said loudly: "Mr. Zheng Ji was killed around the time of Chou tonight, and Wei Cheng was killed at the third quarter of Caixu time just now. Excuse me, everyone, you are all here at this time." What is done where, and who can testify to it?"

"I rested in the house around Choushi." Aunt Jing said, "I always rest early, and the girls and guests in the building know it. At three o'clock in Xushi, Qin Tong had just finished performing at that time, and I went to the room on the second floor to rest For a moment."

"I was also resting when I was ugly." Qintong said, "I coughed a few times that day, and then I took a rest early. As for the third quarter of Xu, I ended the performance at that time and went back to the building to change my clothes."

Wan Ping said: "I am serving Miss Qintong, so I will sleep when the girl sleeps. But at [-]:[-] PM, the girl went back to the room to change clothes, and I went to the toilet and walked away for a while."

"How long?" Xu Yihua asked.

"A cup of tea."

"Then there is no witness between you?" Xu Yihua asked again.

Wan Ping nodded.

"Chen Qi, what about you?" Gu Qi turned his gaze to Chen Qi who had been silently standing aside.

Everyone looked at Chen Qi one after another, but Gu Qi noticed that only Qin Tong's eyes were lowered, not looking at him.

It seems that my previous guess is true. There must be some things happened between Chen Qi and Qin Tong. In the brothel, it must not be for money, but mostly about love.

"The villain hasn't slept yet." Chen Qi whispered, "At that time, it was the time when the guests and the girls were getting ready to rest in the building. The villain was busy boiling bath water in the kitchen. You can find out by asking. As for Xu Shi At three o'clock, I was serving the guests in the front hall, and there were people coming and going at that time, and I don't know if anyone saw it."

From a rough look, this Chen Qi's alibi seems to be more sufficient than others, but it is also unreliable, just as he himself said, whether it is when boiling water or helping in the front hall, At that time it was full of people coming and going, maybe no one noticed that there was a missing Gui Gong.

"I have been serving my girl these two times, whether it is my girl or the benefactor at that time can testify." Yinger said, "And I am not familiar with Wei Cheng, and I have only heard about Mr. Zheng. There was no motive to kill them."

She is quite good at pinpointing the key points. Killing must require a motive, especially among acquaintances. Even if it is because of jealousy, hatred, dislike, liking, admiration, money or hatred, there is always a motive to support the murderer To kill those around you.

At present, according to the testimonies of these five people, the first three people have no alibi in these two cases. prove each other.

And if you want to do something during this cup of tea, the possibility is very high.

For example, although Zuixian Tower is some distance away from the pier, behind Qintong Xiaolou is the Qingyi River, especially if this is the upper reaches of the pier. The corpse will flow down the river and be found by passers-by near the pier, which can be done in the time of a cup of tea.

Aunt Jing was equally suspicious. She was sleeping when the first victim was killed, and she was resting when the second victim was killed. There were no witnesses.

But the most suspicious thing is this one named Chen Qi. Aunt Jing and the girls in the building treat him suspiciously.From what he said to Aunt Jing before contacting, it can be inferred that Chen Qi is also Miss Qintong's admirer, maybe something happened between him and Qintong, Gu Qi frowned and bit his nails.

"Miss Qintong." Gu Qi asked vaguely, "Were you and Chen Qi lovers before?"

As soon as these words came out, the room was filled with silence.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Aunt Jing snapped, "What does Qintong's past have to do with the current case? Please don't ask random questions."

The little bald head has been looking at Qin Tong, suddenly startled by Aunt Jing, subconsciously grabbed Gu Qi's sleeve: "What are you doing so loudly?"

"Sorry." Although Gu Qi said this, there was no apologetic look on his face, "I think it's related."

"You!" Aunt Jing looked very angry, "I won't answer you!"

"Aunt Jing, I didn't ask you, I asked Miss Qintong." Gu Qi said seriously.

Qin Tong gently tugged on Aunt Jing's sleeve: "Aunt Jing."

"Let me tell." Wan Ping said.

Hui Qi looked back disappointed.

"Mr. Gu is right." Wan Ping said, "In the early years, when Qin Tong first arrived at the Zuixian Tower, he fell in love with Chen Qi in private. At that time, Chen Qi was just a turtle in the building, and he didn't have any money to support Qin. Girl Tong redeemed herself, even though Miss Qintong was not an oiran at the time and didn't need much ransom. At this moment, the two planned to escape."

"At that time, there happened to be a couple in the building who eloped, but they were caught. The man's leg was broken, and the woman was trained by the invited nun for a few days, so Chen Qi was afraid. He wanted them to elope. I told the boss about the escape, but the boss at the time was not Aunt Jing, and Aunt Jing was just a mother." Wan Ping looked at Chen Qi with disdain, "After that, all the girls in the building knew about it Girls hate ruthless and ungrateful men the most, especially such cowardly men who are ungrateful and ungrateful without money. So they got together to pay money and want to vent their anger. Later, Chen Qi became the current It looks like this. At least he saved his life, bah, he didn't know how the boss punished Qintong at that time, if it wasn't for Aunt Jing, Qintong might be gone by now."

Following Wan Ping's words, everyone's contemptuous gazes fell on Chen Qi's face one after another, but Qin Tong smiled indifferently: "Actually, I should thank him. If he hadn't betrayed me back then, what would have happened to me for the rest of my life?" If you don't want to spend your whole life with such a heartless and ungrateful man, how can you become an oiran and live such a good life now."

"Qintong." Aunt Jing frowned, and gently held Qintong's hand.

Qintong lowered her eyes and pulled out her wrist: "If everyone wants to hear about this matter, I have already finished."

No wonder Aunt Jing didn't like to see Chen Qi, she spoke sarcasticly, no wonder the girls in the building didn't like to see him either, it turned out that it was because of such an incident.

It's just that Gu Qi can see from Chen Qi's attitude now that he is very guilty about what happened back then, and even has the color of making up for it.If the current Chen Qi still loves Qintong, then his suspicion is even greater, and he is the most suspicious object.

Both Zheng Ji and Wei Cheng are Qintong's benefactors, and Chen Qi murdered because of jealousy, which is barely a legitimate reason.

What about the evidence, where is the evidence, and how can the case be solved without evidence.

What is important in solving a case is the witness and physical evidence. If someone is arrested based on only one motive for killing, it will not be convincing at all, and it will not be able to convince the public at all.

"Both Zheng Gongzi and Wei Cheng died by the sword." Xu Yihua said, "The murderer must know the sword."

"Almost all the girls in the building can dance with swords." Aunt Jing said, "Sometimes there will be some dances in the building, and there will be some sword and sword dancing, which can add to the fun of the guests."

"Is anyone proficient in this technique?" Xu Yihua asked.

Indeed, the victims were all killed by a sword, so the murderer must be a master of swordsmanship, so that he could strike so cleanly.And also know martial arts, Zheng Ji's palm was nailed to the table by the murderer before, how could he do these things if he didn't know martial arts.

only……

Xu Yihua's eyes swept over the five suspects, none of them seemed to know martial arts.

Could it be that I guessed wrong?

Knowing what Xu Yihua was thinking, Gu Qi just listened to him and said, "Maybe that person knows the technique of tortoise's breath and hides his martial arts."

The other party's breath sprayed on his ears, Xu Yihua felt uncomfortable for a moment, goosebumps spread from the base of his ears to his back, he shrank his neck uncomfortably, pursed his lips and did not speak.

"It seems not." Aunt Jing thought for a while, then shook her head.

"It seems that nothing can be found out tonight." Wei Zhizhou pinched the back of his neck and stood up, "Well, we will check tomorrow, and I will trouble everyone not to leave the small building tonight. The official will send someone to guard Around the small building."

"Of course, we will follow Master Wei's orders." Aunt Jing made her statement and stood up.

"En." Wei Zhizhou nodded in satisfaction.

It's really getting late now, the little bald man has already yawned several times, Gu Qi and others also got up and prepared to go back to the Yuelai Inn first, and wait until tomorrow morning.

With a "click", the sound of things falling to the ground sounded, attracting the eyes of everyone who was about to leave.

On the ground, a folding fan was lying there quietly, and the side of the fan that fell to the ground was facing upwards, showing the charming posture of the two women when they were drunk.

Chen Qi hurriedly bent down to pick it up, but another pair of hands took the first step.

Slender, slender fingers picked up the folding fan, and slowly opened it.Xu Yihua stared at Chen Qi intently: "This is Mr. Zheng Ji's fan."

"It turns out that you are the murderer!" Qian Ke opened his eyes and shouted.

"no……"

"So it's you, it really is you!" Wei Zhizhou suddenly realized, "Catch it!"

The yamen servants on both sides hurried forward and pressed Chen Qi firmly to the ground.

"It's not me!" Chen Qi struggled violently.

"The evidence is already in your hands, and you dare to say that you are not the murderer. Since you are not the murderer, why is Mr. Zheng's fan with you?" Wei Zhizhou asked.

Chen Qi raised his head and said, "I picked this up in the yard, it's not mine!"

"Sophistry!" Wei Zhizhou snorted coldly, "Just now, the official has sent people to collect evidence, no matter when you were boiling water or in the front hall, the people who asked said they didn't pay attention to you, your alibi It doesn't exist at all!"

Chen Qi still said: "It's not me, my lord, you have to make decisions for the villain!"

"It's not you, could it be Aunt Jing, Wan Ping, or Miss Qintong?" Wei Zhizhou said, "Stop making unnecessary struggles and take them away!"

The yamen servant got the order, pressed Chen Qi, and took him away regardless of his struggle.Gu Qi said, "Master Wei, the murder weapon has not been found yet, is it..."

"Then Mr. Zheng Ji's fan is in Chen Qi's hands, can something go wrong?" Daren Wei said, "As for the murder weapon, it doesn't matter if you arrest him first and then find the murder weapon."

What Wei Zhizhou said was not unreasonable, but it was still too hasty. Just as Xu Yihua wanted to argue, Gu Qi pressed his shoulder and said with a smile: "Wei Zhizhou is right, we have been taught."

"Well." Wei Zhizhou said, "Since the murderer has been caught, the official will not send anyone to guard here, and you don't have to stay in the small building anymore. It's getting late, so you should rest earlier. "

Everyone said yes, so they dispersed. Gu Qi noticed that Aunt Jing and Qin Tong went up the stairs side by side, and Wan Ping followed behind them.

It turned out that Aunt Jing also lived in this small building.

The front hall is very lively, and the nightlife in Zuixianlou is only half over now, so the hall is still full of charming laughter, and the sweet and greasy smell of makeup fills Gu Qi's nostrils, he slapped him several times sneeze.

In the hall, a young man in blue sat there steadily, with a young servant serving him carefully.

"Isn't this the person who played the piano with Qintong before?" Gu Qi whispered.

"What did you say?" Xu Yihua was still thinking about Wei Zhizhou's capture of Chen Qi before, so he didn't hear what Gu Qi was saying, and just spoke casually.

Sure enough, Miss Qintong quickly came out from the backyard, brought Wan Ping, and joined the young man in blue.

"Do you want to catch the murderer?" Gu Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Hasn't the murderer been arrested?" Xu Yihua was puzzled.

"Did he say it was the murderer?" Gu Qi was helpless, "Without the murder weapon, the fan is not evidence. Although the fan was in Chen Qi's hands, he said he picked it up in the yard, where Jing lived. Auntie, Qintong and Wanping, so these four people are still suspected."

"You mean... If Chen Qi is not the real murderer, the real murderer will act tonight." Xu Yihua's eyes lit up, and he looked at the young man in blue who was rubbing hands with Qin Tong in the hall.

The young master said something to Qin Tong, as if to comfort her.

"Yes."

Seeing that the young man in blue was about to leave, Gu Qi hurriedly pulled Xu Yihua and Hui Qi back out the door together: "Zheng Ji and Wei Cheng who died before were both He Qintong's benefactors. According to the murderer's thinking, this time One of the victims is likely to be this person."

Miss Qintong didn't come out with her, the young man in blue only took the boy out of the gate of Zuixian Tower and got into the sedan chair.

Gu Qi and Xu Yihua followed the sedan chair from a distance, and felt something was wrong for a while, when they looked back, Hui Qi silently followed them with his head down.

"Little bald head, why don't you talk today?"

Huiqi looked up: "There is nothing to say."

"You met Qin Tong whom you have always wanted to see today, but you stopped talking?"

Huiqi didn't speak.

"Is she really your mother?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Huiqi jumped up and then fell silent again, "She might be my sister."

"She was sold into Zuixian Tower by your mother?" Gu Qi was surprised.

Huiqi shook her head: "My mother said that she was snatched back then, and many people entrusted by the family couldn't find it. Later, I heard that Miss Qintong had a butterfly birthmark on her neck, so I wanted to take a look."

"Then Miss Qintong is your sister?"

"No."

No wonder I was so depressed.

Gu Qi stroked her little bald head: "Then you can go fuck her."

Huiqi: "..."

Xu Yihua: "..."

The place where the young master in blue is staying is the Tianzijian of the Wangyue Inn. It seems that he is either rich or expensive. If he is not such a person, how can he have the capital to chase Qintong.

"They ate, drank, and fell asleep underneath, and we fed the mosquitoes on top." Hui Qi lay on the roof, waving his hands unhappily to drive away the buzzing mosquitoes around.

"Where are there any mosquitoes now, it's autumn."

"Yes." Xu Yihua calmly stretched out his index finger and middle finger, pinched them lightly in the air, and then brought them in front of Gu Qi, "Autumn mosquitoes are as fierce as tigers."

Gu Qi silently pressed the mosquito to Xu Yihua's face.

Time passed little by little, and the night became darker. Tonight, even the moon seemed to be very face-saving, hidden behind the misty dark clouds, and the visibility was very low.

Gu Qi and the others patiently lay on the roof of the young man in blue, waiting for the murderer to show up.

Huiqi yawned again, almost unable to open his eyes: "Will the murderer really come?"

"It will definitely come." Gu Qi nodded affirmatively.

Its daybreak.

Gu Qi had already fallen asleep lying on the roof.

Xu Yihua is fine, it is not difficult for a person who has practiced martial arts to stay up all night, but Hui Qi is already dizzy.

"Didn't you say you would come?" Hui Qi grabbed Gu Qi's collar and gnashed his teeth, shaking it back and forth.

"Has the murderer come?" Gu Qi opened his eyes in a daze.

Huiqi was already confused: "How dare you mention the murderer! I fed the mosquitoes here all night, but you fell asleep!"

"Cough." Gu Qi came to his senses, turned over carefully and sat down on the roof, "I'm getting older, I can't compare to you young people, I can't stay up all night, I need to be considerate of the elderly."

"Shameless..." Hui Qi didn't know what to say anymore.

Xu Yihua also had a faint blue color under his eyes, but he was still in good spirits. He glanced at the dimly lit east, and said in a low voice: "It's already dawn, but the murderer hasn't come yet."

"Then it means that Chen Qi is the murderer." Gu Qi stretched his waist, showing no concern on his face.

"I don't care, I don't care, I don't care." Hui Qi was so sleepy that she was about to cry, "I want to sleep."

Gu Qi reached out and pushed Hui Qi towards Xu Yihua: "Xu Yihua, put the child to sleep."

Xu Yihua hurriedly held down the two of them, helplessly: "We are on someone else's roof, can we be quieter?"

Throwing Huiqi onto their backs, the three returned to the Yuelai Inn in despair.

When they arrived at the inn, Hui Qi had already fallen asleep on Xu Yihua's back, and sent her back to the room. Xu Yihua and Gu Qi went to the lobby on the first floor to order breakfast, and prepared to fill their stomachs before going to bed.

"What are you going to do next?" Xu Yihua asked.

Gu Qi took a bite of the steamed bun: "Sleep."

Xu Yihua held back his temper: "What about after sleeping?"

"It's time to eat again."

Xu Yihua silently took a mouthful of steamed buns, and imagined that the steamed buns were the face of the person in front of him.

"Continue to follow that person at night." Gu Qi finished his last sip of porridge and wiped his mouth, "The murderer won't hold back forever."

No matter who the murderer is, he won't keep doing nothing like this. Last night, the murderer must have become vigilant, so he didn't take any action. Then tonight, it is very likely that the murderer will commit the crime.

"Why did the murderer kill Qintong's benefactor?"

"If the murderer is Qin Tong, then it's easy to explain." Gu Qi shrugged, "Because Chen Qi broke his heart before, so he hated the men in the world, so killing these ruthless men is also a matter of course. .”

"Then if the murderer is Chen Qi, it means that his guilt towards Qintong has developed into twisted possessiveness and jealousy, and he wants to kill all the men who get close to Qintong." Xu Yihua continued, "But in this way, Wan Ping and Aunt Jing I really can't think of a motive for the murder."

"Wan Ping's words... Do you think Wan Ping looks like a maid?"

Xu Yihua shook his head.

"Her appearance and style are on par with Qin Tong. If she is one of the double queens in the building, she is completely competent. It is not because Qin Tong became the chief oiran but she only became a maid and became jealous. She wanted to kill someone to marry her. Misfortune Qintong, no matter how bad it is, there will be rumors that the men who have been Qintong's benefactors are all dead. In this way, no one wants to get in trouble."

"Then Aunt Jing?"

"Aunt Jing..." Gu Qi rubbed his chin, "I'm not sure, and I haven't figured out some things yet. But if there is a reason, she has it. Qintong is now the cash cow in the building. If someone If she wanted to redeem Qintong's body, Aunt Jing would definitely not agree, but the other party was Zheng Shilang's son, so she had to agree, so she simply killed him, while Wei Cheng liked it because he had no money. Make trouble. Although it is a little unreliable, it can be regarded as a motive for killing."

Rubbing the stiff back of his neck, Gu Qi glanced at Xu Yihua who was still in deep thought, and said: "Let's take a rest and recharge your spirits, something will definitely happen tonight."

"You said that last night." Xu Yihua didn't believe it.

"If nothing happens tonight..." Gu Qi paused, "I'll still say that tomorrow morning."

That night.

It's like the third watch.

The moonlight is clear and the wind is cold.

Gu Qi led Xu Yihua and Hui Qi to hide on the roof of the young man in blue once again, stooping his waist, carefully lifted the tiles, and looked down.

"Wow, exciting." Huiqi opened his mouth wide, full of interest.

"It's disgusting to talk about love." Huiqi scorned.

"It's not as good as when I did it just now."

"You two..." Xu Yihua's face darkened, "Shut up!"

Huiqi stuck out her tongue and made a grimace.

"Are you still a monk?" Xu Yihua held Huiqi's ear, "drinking and eating meat, visiting brothels, dating girls, and watching... and watching such things, how many precepts have you violated?"

Hui Qi clasped his hands together, put on a serious expression on his face, and said in his mouth: "Xiao Ni is wary of foreign objects, and never sticks to them. All foreign objects do not exist in Xiao Ni's eyes."

Xu Yihua smiled on the surface: "That's good, starting tomorrow, you will
