"Not dead, not dead, Mr. Qin is fine, he even sent the grass-roots people to the door..." Wang Lishen shouted with a bitter face: "Sir, please believe the grass-roots people, the grass-roots people really did not kill Mr. Qin!"
"
Chai Yan fell into deep thought at this time. The three of them all said that they did not kill Qin Buhuo, so who was the murderer?
Someone must be lying!
Suddenly, Shangguan Peining spoke up and said: "Chai Yan, you have been asking for so long, and I am even dizzy. You should use the truth bean, and you will know as soon as you ask!"
Chai Yan didn't want to give up halfway, and said stubbornly: "No, I want to solve this case by myself today, just wait and see!"
Shangguan Peining smiled playfully and said lightly: "It's up to you..."
Seeing that Chai Yan didn't make a sound for a long time, Yuan Yuan came closer and asked softly: "How are you doing? Did you think of anything?"
When asking this question, Liu Zongyi also looked at Chai Yan expectantly.
Chai Yan frowned and glanced at the three people kneeling in front of the hall, and said: "Madam, please let me think about it again. I always feel that something is wrong, but I can't explain it for the moment..."
Yuan Yuan nodded and said nothing.
Liu Zongyi did not dare to disturb him, so he silently summoned a government servant behind him and gave a few instructions in a low voice.
The yamen servant left the second hall quietly, and soon brought in two cups of freshly brewed hot tea. He came to Chai Yan and Yuan Yuan's side and replaced the two cups of cold tea on the coffee table.
Chai Yan looked at the government servants taking away the tea, and suddenly thought of an important detail, tea!
Chai Yan looked stern, turned around and asked, "Wang Lishen, you are a frequent visitor to the Qin family, and today is the first day of the Lunar New Year. Wouldn't Qin Buhuo even greet you with a cup of tea when he sees you?"
Wang Lishen couldn't help being stunned, and then said: "Yes, sir, the common people also find it strange when you say this. Usually when the common people go there, Mr. Qin will invite the common people to drink tea, but this morning Mr. Qin seems to have forgotten about it.
...I guess it's because Mr. Qin is unwell..."
"How did you know he was unwell?" Chai Yan asked immediately, his eyes sharpening.
Wang Lishen replied: "Mr. Qin kept coughing when he spoke this morning, and his voice was different from before. People wonder if it is because Mr. Qin has suffered from cold recently..."
Chai Yan immediately turned to Mrs. Xu and asked, "Mrs. Xu, when you saw Qin Buhuo in the morning, what did he look like? Did he suffer from the cold?"
Mrs. Xu thought about it carefully, shook her head blankly and said, "No, my husband is fine. He doesn't even cough when he talks. He's the same as before!"
That’s right!
Chai Yan was secretly happy, turned to Yuan and said: "Madam, I already know who the murderer is!"
"Really, who is it?" Yuan looked surprised.
"Ah!" Liu Zongyi was shocked when he heard this, and every expression on his face showed that he wanted to know who the murderer was.
Chai Yan turned his head, pointed his finger, and said to Zhong You, "He is the murderer!"
Zhong You was shocked and turned pale. He immediately threw himself on the ground and shouted, "I'm wronged." The second hall immediately became noisy.
"Come on, stop his mouth!"
Liu Zongyi felt that Zhong You's voice was noisy, so he immediately ordered the government servant behind him to stop it.
As soon as Zhong You's voice was suppressed, Liu Zongyi asked: "Why is Master Chai so sure that this person is the murderer?"
Chai Yan smiled slightly, glanced at Wang Lishen and said: "Mr. Liu, Wang Lishen is a frequent visitor to Qin Buhuo. It is impossible for Qin Buhuo to neglect him when he goes there, but today he is uncharacteristically uncharacteristic. He just didn't ask for tea, and he didn't even apologize.
I didn’t say a word, don’t you think there’s something weird in this?”
"Well, it's a little weird..." Liu Zongyi frowned.
Yuan Yuan immediately understood and interjected: "I understand, what you mean is that the Qin Buhuo Wang Lishen saw today is not the real Qin Buhuo, but someone else pretending to be him!"
"You're right! Madam is really smart, and she knows everything!" Chai Yan immediately praised, making Yu Yuan feel a little embarrassed.
Before Liu Zongyi could turn his head around, he asked in shock: "Pretending? Who is pretending? Is there anyone else in the room?"
Chai Yan shook his head, looked at Zhong You who was already trembling, and said: "He was the one who pretended to be Qin Buhuo and killed Qin Buhuo!"
Liu Zongyi immediately asked: "Zhong You, did you do it? Hurry up and find the truth!"
Zhong You turned pale with fright, but his body was shaking and he kept shaking his head.
"Let me restore the circumstances of the case..."
With that said, Chai Yan stood up and walked to Zhong You, looked down at him and said: "This morning, Mrs. Xu left the Qin family, and Qin Buhuo was drinking tea in the hall. At this time, Zhong You ran to Qin Buhuo to borrow money, so he could talk to him.
Only after Qin Buhuo was willing to give Zhong You a tael of silver, I guess Zhong You must have been very angry at that time, so when Qin Buhuo went back to the back room to get the money, he strangled him from behind..."
Chai Yan paused and continued: "However, judging from the depth of the strangulation marks on Qin Buhuo's neck, that is probably not the real cause of death! The real cause of death may be that Qin Buhuo suffered a huge blow after his neck was strangled.
Frightened, the disease that was already present in the body suddenly broke out, so the corpse we saw had no other wounds except the faint strangulation marks on the neck!"
"It makes sense..." Liu Zongyi nodded in admiration.
Chai Yan added: "After Qin Buhuo fell ill and fell to the ground, Zhong You started rummaging through boxes and cabinets to find money. Unexpectedly, at this moment, Wang Lishen, a regular customer, came to the door! Zhong You was afraid of being discovered, so he put on Qin Buhuo's clothes.
clothes, put on Qin Buhuo’s mask, and pretended to be Qin Buhuo to Wang Li
Body fortune-telling! At that time, Zhong You was busy pretending to be his cousin, which is why Wang Lishen waited outside the door for so long. It was also because Zhong You was pretending to be Qin Buhuo that he ignored the detail of making tea for Wang Lishen. Next,
When you talk, cough, or sound wrong, that’s all a cover up..."
Chai Yan looked at Wang Lishen and said: "If what I expected is correct, you should be very dissatisfied with today's fortune-telling process. The 'Mr. Qin' you met probably had a perfunctory attitude and kept hinting and urging you to leave."
Bar?"
Wang Lishen opened his eyes wide in astonishment and nodded: "Yes, yes, your Excellency is absolutely right. Today, the common people always feel that something is wrong with Mr. Qin. His voice and way of speaking are very different from usual. The common people thought that Mr. Qin was
It was because of the wind and cold. Now based on your analysis, it turns out that Mr. Qin had already..."
Chai Yan looked at Liu Zongyi and said: "After Wang Li left, Zhong You dragged Qin Buhuo's body into the main hall, and then put a mask on the body, so that it looked as if he was being told someone's fortune.
People were killed!”
After everything was said, Yuan Yuan nodded frequently and smiled at Chai Yan.
"Damn it, it's really hateful!" Liu Zongyi cursed, stood up, stared at Zhong You and said, "Zhong You, what do you have to say?"
At this time, Zhong You's face was ashen, and he was so horrified that he couldn't even utter a word...
Chai Yan turned to Liu Zongyi and said politely: "Master Liu, the next thing is..."
Before the words "Leave it to you" were spoken, a woman's wild screams were heard behind her.
Chai Yan looked back and saw that it was Mrs. Xu who suddenly pounced on Zhong You, tearing and scratching Zhong You's face and hair like crazy, and cursed with grief and anger: "Beast! White-eyed wolf! You will not die well..."
