Chapter 96 A Difficult Case ([-]) One More

Lin Huai took a step forward and said, "Third brother, who is the perpetrator, brother, go and arrest him now, let's see if this kid is still stubborn!"

Qin Wubing shrugged and said, "I don't know yet."

He Yingxuan was obviously relieved.

"But County Magistrate Gu will be able to find out once he investigates, this kind of thing has never been hidden." Qin Wubing said with a chuckle.

He Yingxuan tensed up again.

Hearing this, Gu Qinghe understood the murderer's method of committing the crime, but he couldn't think of how to investigate it for a moment. He approached Qin Wubing and asked in a low voice: "Captain Qin just said that the murderer is a woman, but he is not from the He family. He Yingxuan Although he is the mastermind, he did not participate in the murder, he just made arrangements in advance, if He Yingxuan pays the murderer, how should I investigate?"

Qin Wubing looked at the sky. It was already dark and there was no moonlight. He could barely make out the people in the courtyard. Qin Wubing first asked Mr. Wu, "Can you light the lamp?"

Wu rushed into the house to get the oil lamp.

"Master Gu also said before that there are very few homicide cases in Yongning County. If you want to buy a murderer, the price must be high. Although the He family is not worried about food and clothing, He Yingxuan suddenly wants a sum of money. I am afraid that the family will not know, let alone him. Just got married, and the family may not be able to get it out!"

Gu Qinghe frowned and said: "If it's not buying murder, then it's an accomplice! Who will he find?"

"It depends on why he wants to kill his new wife!"

Qin Wubing said and looked at He Yingxuan.

At this time, Mrs. Wu came out holding a lantern, and under the dim light, He Yingxuan's expression was even more terrified.

"You are a scholar. You feel that your belly is full of articles. You like to recite poems and compose odes. You have always wanted to marry a woman who has studied to make you more attractive, but your family has chosen Wu Lian'er for you. If I expect it to be right, I'm afraid Wu Lian'er is illiterate, doesn't she know a single big character?"

Wu quickly nodded and said, "Lian'er has never read a book."

"You killed that girl just because she didn't have any education. Are you a beast?!" Lin Huai was about to draw his sword, Guo Yi pressed Lin Huai's hand, and said angrily, "Are you anxious?" What? After listening to the third brother, even if he killed it himself, it's not your turn to do it."

The old monk came over with a smile and said: "I know about this kind of thing, it must be that this kid has made a private appointment with another girl for life, and he can't twist the arrangement at home, so he came up with such a plan!"

Gu Qinghe suddenly understood: "Yes! If there is no her, he will accept the marriage whether he is willing or not! The murderer is the one with whom he has made a private appointment for life!"

Just as Qin Wubing was about to speak, he saw a strange-looking person flashing into the dark courtyard door, the old monk jumped more than a foot high and shouted: "Where is the monster!"

Xiao Er stood there holding two watermelons in his arms, not daring to move.

Qin Wubing looked at the old monk with disgust and said:

"You're so old, and you want me to teach you how to do things! The master didn't let you eat it, so you ate his melon on your own initiative. I ordered someone to buy two of them as compensation. What are you calling?"

The old monk still wanted to argue, but Qin Wubing turned around and talked about the case:

"I was thinking, what kind of woman can this scholar fall in love with, and would rather set up this murderous scheme for her?"

This time, Gu Qinghe's mind is obviously much clearer: "This woman has been educated, her family background may be good, or she may have been good at one time, this woman has always been surrounded by servants, and this murder was committed by the servants around her." !"

Qin Wubing nodded, cupped his hands towards Gu Qinghe and said: "My errands are done, I will leave the rest to Mr. Gu, we will rush to Jinling tomorrow morning, maybe we can catch up with the prince."

"Why is it over?" The old monk said anxiously: "I haven't heard enough! Isn't it a tricky case? It's over after a while, so why is it tricky?"

Gu Qinghe looked embarrassed, Qin Wubing gritted his teeth and pointed at the old monk and asked, "How many heads have you grown? How many things can you hold? You must be clear-headed in order to investigate a case. Master Gu was thinking about it, and there was a big thunder." , Master Gu's heart ran to the embankment..."

"No one can help him? What about the police in Yongning County? Aren't you the police?"

"Is it the same? I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you. I really need to talk about it when I see the prince. After all, people like us are a minority. We can't hope that there are everywhere..."

Gu Qinghe coughed lightly, and pointed at He Yingxuan before He Yingxuan opened his mouth, He Yingxuan raised his leg and ran towards the door, Lin Huai flew up and held He Yingxuan in his hand like an eagle catching a rabbit.

"It seems that the matter of his private life-long appointment is not a secret. Mr. Gu can find out by asking a few more people, especially the Wu family, who will know everything! It will be easy in the future."

Gu Qinghe clasped his fists and said, "I have to trouble Detective Qin to escort He Yingxuan to the county government. I'm afraid I can't handle him alone!"

"How difficult is this!" The old monk waved his sleeves: "Let's go to the county government office!"

As soon as the words fell, the big raindrops fell down with crackling, and Gu Qinghe couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

……

In the end, the old monk was afraid of getting caught in the rain, so he hurried back to the post house.

Qin Wubing and others pressed He Yingxuan to go to the county government office.

Walking halfway, it was already pouring rain, and several people were already drenched, but they didn't care, only Qinghe was very anxious. He wanted to trouble Qin Wubing to send him to the county government a few times, so he went to the embankment first to have a look. However, no one in the county government recognized these people, and all the people he could mobilize were busy reinforcing the embankment.

Qin Wubing understood Gu Qinghe's thoughts, so he shouted: "Hurry up and send the suspect to the county government!"

A group of people speeded up in the rain.

Gu Qinghe couldn't help being grateful in his heart. The rain was strong and the river was rushing. The embankment that had been repaired before would be weak or even damaged, so he hurried back to the embankment to deal with something urgent.

When they arrived at the county government office, He Yingxuan was taken to the cell, and the group hurried out of the county government office again, Qin Wubing walked beside Gu Qinghe and asked, "If there is a shortage of people on the river embankment, Mr. Gu can assign us a few at will! "

Gu Qinghe hurriedly cupped his hands and said:

"Thank you in advance, Gu! I can still deal with it now, I'm afraid it will rain again and again! To tell you the truth, I hope that the prince can stay here today. That way, I don't have to worry about the river embankment or the government office. Regardless of the guard, people have been sent to reinforce the embankment at this time!"

Qin Wubing immediately asked in a low voice: "Prince Xiang is the emperor's uncle, and I have the emperor's seventh grandpa here, Master Gu, do you think it will be useful?"

The old monk's seniority is high, but unfortunately his reputation is too small. Even so, Gu Qinghe borrowed the name of the old monk to try it out. When it was almost dawn, the government sent more than 200 people to help strengthen the embankment.

……

At daybreak, Qin Wubing and his team slowly left Yongning County. Gu Qinghe didn't come to see him off. Heard that he had fallen asleep on the embankment. Qin Wubing looked up at the clear sky and felt relieved. Take a breath.

The next stop is Jinling!Qin Wubing had a premonition that there was something waiting for him other than the case of He Dao's silver loss!
