Chapter 95 A Difficult Case ([-]) Second Watch
As soon as Qin Wubing finished speaking, the whole yard gasped, except for the old monk. He was hugging a watermelon he got from nowhere, thinking about how to open it, and heard everyone surprised He hurriedly asked loudly:

"But that kid disliked the bride and wanted something better, so he killed her?"

He Yingxuan was terrified, waved his hands again and again and said: "I was not at home that night, everyone in the Wu family can testify, how could it be me who killed it?!"

With his hands behind his back, Qin Wubing walked towards the old monk and said, "You are honest. I don't want to explain whether I dislike it or not. First, I said that I was not there. I said you did it? Where did you get the watermelon?"

"This family is not good! I just asked if there was any watermelon, but they ignored me. I went to the well to see that there was a watermelon soaking in the well water! I just got it."

Qin Wubing looked back at Xiaofu, Xiaofu immediately came over and took out the dagger from his arms, and cut the watermelon in a few strokes.

"Xiaoer, go to the street and buy two watermelons and give them back." Qin Wubing said as he picked up two pieces of melons and walked towards Gu Qinghe.

"Magistrate Gu, do you still remember what the deceased looked like?"

Gu Qinghe took the melon and said: "Remember, lying on the bed on your back, your throat was cut."

"What's on your body?" Qin Wubing asked, wiping his mouth after eating a piece of melon in a few bites.

"The quilt is covered under the chest." Gu Qinghe gestured.

"The murder of the deceased happened just a few days ago. Yongning County still sleeps with brocade quilts at night?"

Gu Qinghe's eyes widened.

"Newlyweds, it's normal to have a brocade quilt on the bed for the occasion, but it's still neatly covered, doesn't it make sense? Not to mention how hot it is, and there is no one else around. Can it still be so tidy?"

"It was covered by the murderer after killing!" Gu Qinghe shouted excitedly.

Qin Wubing nodded, and wanted to get another piece of watermelon, but he saw the watermelon rind all over the floor and the old monk, Lin Huai and Guo Yi, who were wiping their mouths.

He sighed and asked, "Why did the murderer cover the deceased with a quilt?"

Gu Qinghe frowned and thought for a while, "In order to make the deceased look more like he was killed in his sleep!"

"I think so too! It's just superfluous! But what kind of person would have such an idea?"

Gu Qinghe frowned and thought, Qin Wubing took the melon that Gu Qinghe was holding up, ate it a few bites, and then said two words:
"woman!"

"Still a woman who serves others!" Qin Wubing added.

All eyes turned to Wu Shi.

With tears still on Wu's face, she backed away in horror and murmured, "It's not me! It's not me!"

"What do you think of her? She is the only woman in this world?" Qin Wubing asked angrily.

Everyone's eyes focused on He Yingxuan's mother again.

"Oh! It has to be in this yard? Why did I ask about the door bolt just now? Why didn't Wu Lian'er put the door bolt in when she was sleeping alone? But she just didn't put it in, so she would give the murderer an opportunity!"

Gu Qinghe hurriedly asked: "How do you know it wasn't the murderer who knocked on the door?"

"Where is the stab wound of the deceased? Front jaw! Where is the blood stain in the deceased's house? On the bedding! If someone knocks on the door, how can we prevent the deceased from resisting and lie obediently on the bed to be killed?"

Gu Qinghe seemed to have suddenly realized it, but then he asked: "What if He Yingxuan did something? He pretended to live in Wu's house, and after he came back in the middle of the night to commit murder, he rushed back to Wu's house..."

Qin Wubing waved his hand and said: "You didn't see him keep saying that he lives in the Wu family, did the Wu family tell you that he behaved suspiciously?"

Gu Qinghe shook his head.

"Since he is so confident, it means that the arrangements for the night were indeed very appropriate. He wanted to bribe the Wu family to help him get out and in in the middle of the night. It is not easy to think about it!"

Just as He Yingxuan breathed a sigh of relief, Qin Wubing suddenly pointed at him and said sharply: "Although the perpetrator is not you, you are the mastermind!"

He Yingxuan's parents groaned at the same time, and they both sat paralyzed on the ground, and Wu quickly stepped forward to help them.

He Yingxuan's complexion was pale, his lips trembled, just as he was about to speak out to defend himself, Qin Wubing didn't give him the chance!

"Why is the door not fastened? Because you secretly told Wu Lian'er to keep the door open for you before sending off your father-in-law! Am I right?" Qin Wubing asked with squinted eyes, and then said: "I just asked the maid and mother-in-law who Snoring? Why do you ask such a question? The two of them live very close to the gate of the courtyard, so if you want Wu Lianer to keep the door, it is natural not only to keep the door in the house, but also the gate of the courtyard!"

"If you want to know who the murderer is, you must first know how the murderer got into the yard and how he got into the house! And you are the only one who can do this in the middle of the night!"

"Wu Lian'er is the new daughter-in-law, she must be shy, she doesn't want others to know that you hurried back that night, and you agreed because you couldn't hold back."

"How did you make an agreement with her? After you left, the courtyard gate must be locked. Wu Lian'er would not sneak into the yard until everyone in the family fell asleep and put down the gate bolt. I tried it just now, but there was still movement." Yes, especially in the dead of night, so if the mother-in-law snores and the maid can't hear it, it makes sense. In the early morning of the next day, the murder has happened and there is a lot of chaos. Who else remembers who opened the courtyard door? "

"I asked the rough envoy's wife a few times, and she always said that she locked the door bolt at night and opened the courtyard door in the morning." Gu Qinghe said hastily.

"She is afraid of taking responsibility, and maybe she can't remember clearly."

The mother-in-law hurriedly said: "I really can't remember clearly, and I'm afraid, I'm afraid of being hit by a board..."

"I knew this kid was not a good person at the first glance!" The old monk may have eaten too much melon, standing in the courtyard with his waist in his arms, full of confidence!

He Yingxuan repeatedly waved his hands and said, "No, no! Why should I kill her?"

Qin Wubing snorted coldly and said:

"You still have the face to call yourself a scholar! Can't you just eat all the sage books you've read? Your elder brother is too stupid to get married. The Wu family is willing to marry their own daughter in terms of past friendship. This matter is the most wronged. It's Mrs. Wu! But has someone asked her if she is willing? The words of the matchmaker's order from her parents are so nice! You also think Mrs. Wu should do it, right? But how come it doesn't make sense to you?"

"Wu Lian'er may be ordinary in appearance, or may have a dull personality, because everything is good, but in short, there has been no marriage agreement, so the Wu family wanted to marry the He family again. Your parents feel that they owe the Wu family, and there is no reason why you shouldn't, but you Not willing! Why are you not willing? Because you are a scholar?"

He Yingxuan stepped back again and again, only saying: "No! No! No!"

"You don't want to think of various ways to divorce before marriage, why do you want to take someone's life after marriage?!" Qin Wubing asked sharply.

After hearing this, He Yingxuan didn't back down, instead he shouted: "How can you conclude that it's me without evidence?! I'm a scholar, you don't want to beat me to it!"

Qin Wubing raised his eyebrows, and asked with a chuckle: "I told you, you are not the perpetrator! As long as you find the perpetrator, do you have evidence?"

He Yingxuan suddenly became flustered.
