Demon detective

Chapter 150 Fox Immortal
midnight.

Inside the old house of Meng Qinghui's family.

In a corner of the courtyard, Meng Qingxi knelt down on the ground. He had already lit the yellow paper candles and kowtowed to repent sincerely.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I hurt you, everyone, and the whole village! It's all because I want to vent my personal anger, without considering the consequences. I'm willing to lose my life and repent. I beg you to forgive me, woo woo ...I knew I was wrong, I really knew I was wrong... woo woo woo..."

Meng Qingxi bowed down sincerely, wept bitterly, and while confessing, he kept looking into the distance, waiting for the beautiful fox fairy to arrive.

"Why...why are you doing this?"

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from behind.

"Ah!?" Meng Qingxi was startled at first, but when she looked back, she realized that the beautiful fox fairy had come to her side at some point.

Although the halo disappeared from Hu Immortal's body, Meng Qingxi still firmly believed in it, and immediately argued:
"I really didn't expect it to be so serious! That person lied to me, he said that the poison he gave me could only slightly poison them, it wasn't fatal!
"I just want to take revenge on Meng Qinghui and embarrass him, but I never imagined that it would cause such serious consequences!"

"Then why do you want to take revenge on Meng Qinghui?" In the end, the question turned into a man's voice.

"Ah?" Meng Qingxi was startled suddenly, and looked along the voice, but saw that a fence beside him had been removed by someone, and there were a lot of people standing behind it!
In addition to the three Lizhengs in their village, there were Baozheng Li Youcai, Meng Zhichao and his wife, Li Qian and Xu Zhen himself.

And the one who asked the question was naturally Xu Zhen.

"This..." Meng Qingxi hurriedly looked at Immortal Hu, but he saw that Immortal Hu had wiped off the disguise on his face, and it turned out to be Qin Yin, the female scribe following Xu Zhen.

"what?"

Only then did Meng Qingxi realize that she had been duped, and she collapsed to the ground in fright.

For a while, the scene was silent, only the burning red candle made a buzzing sound.

"So..." Yuniang raised her hand, pointing at Meng Qingxi full of resentment, "It's you!!!"

"I...not...not..." Meng Qingxi shook his head helplessly, his face twitched, and his whole body trembled...

"Why!?" Yili stood up and scolded, "Why did you do that? Why on earth?"

"It seems... the reason is quite simple, right?" At this time, Li Qian complained from behind, "Isn't it Meng Qinghui who robbed his family's daughter-in-law? He was the number one suspect back then. , hum..."

"I...I..." Meng Qingxi still hadn't recovered from his senses, recalling what happened about the fox fairy just now, he still felt so real.

wow...

Xu Zhen took out a water bag and splashed the water on Meng Qingxi's face.

"Ah!?" Shocked by the cold water, Meng Qingxi finally came back to his senses, and his eyes were much brighter than before.

It turned out that he had been infatuated with the incense before.

At this moment, looking at everything in front of him, Meng Qingxi was completely awake:
"You... You guys lied to me together!? No... No, you... How did you find out that I have a problem? Impossible?"

"When I restored the scene here a few days ago," Xu Zhen said, "I paid special attention to you. At that time, the corners of your brows were sunken, your eyes were dodging, and it didn't match the curious expressions of other people.

"After I deliberately lit the firecrackers, the others turned pale with fright, trembled, and wanted to escape, but your reaction was slower than them, and you stood there without moving a bit.

"This is called the stress response under stimulation. It means that your heart is already tense and cramped to the extreme. If you are stimulated again at this time, you will behave calmer than others."

Xu Zhen's super-professional explanation made everyone look at each other in blank dismay.

"Just...just because of this? But..." Meng Qingxi obviously refused to accept it, "My son also drank poisonous wine, you shouldn't doubt me?"

"This one is also very simple," Xu Zhen said. "To solve a criminal case, we must talk about the original motive. After I screened all the people in the village, only your motive is at the forefront, so I will give it a try." Psychology, check you carefully.

"It is true that your son also drank poisonous wine, but this is not a reason to exclude you," Xu Zhen said, "You said that you did not attend the wedding banquet of Meng Qinghui's family due to illness, but I asked many people, but no One who knows exactly what disease you have.

"Your home is only tens of meters away from the wedding banquet of Meng Qinghui's family, and you are his uncle and brother. What kind of illness can prevent you from attending the wedding banquet?"

"Then...then I..." Meng Qingxi said, "Just because I didn't go to the wedding banquet, shouldn't you be suspicious of me? I don't have a chance to poison you?"

"Wrong," Xu Zhen corrected, "This is the illusion you gave everyone, just because there was a poisoning incident at the wedding banquet, everyone would naturally think that the poisoned murderer did it at the wedding banquet.

"But in fact, you poisoned those two jars of wine long before the wedding banquet!"

"Ah!?" Meng Qingxi shuddered, obviously being hit by Xu Zhen.

"Are you pretending when I ask the parties one by one?" Xu Zhen said, "Meng Qinghui's family is so grand, and the wine cellar is full of good wine and wine. Who knows which two jars he uses to entertain guests?" Should not be much.

"You are Meng Qinghui's uncle and brother, and because you have been away all the time and have rich experience, Meng Qinghui has many things to discuss with you, and his son's wedding is no exception.

"So you must know that he will use those two jars of Huangfeng aged wine to entertain guests in the end, so he put the poison into the wine early."

"This... this..." Meng Qingxi still wanted to argue, but couldn't think of a reason for a moment.

"After suspecting you, I took the opportunity to sneak into your house and observe quietly." Xu Zhen said again, "Xuan Dao burns incense and kowtows to tell the time, but you kneel before the statue all day long, which is clearly a guilty conscience ah!

"Meng Qingxi," Xu Zhen said, "I came up with this plan when I saw that you liked to read books on cultivation and ascension. Now, the gods you believe in have manifested themselves, and they have given you the most clear reminder—— Make atonement!"

"Ah..." As soon as these words came out, Meng Qingxi fell to his knees and burst into tears.

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo..." The cries resounded throughout the courtyard, but everyone felt more and more angry when they heard it.

"Say!" one of them shouted loudly, "What's going on? Meng Qinghui is so kind to you, why do you want to hurt him like this?"

"He treats me well?" Hearing these words, Meng Qingxi stopped crying and shouted angrily, "Ever since I was a child, he has never treated me like a human being!"

Oh?
Everyone was surprised.

"Because his family is rich, no matter what mistakes he makes, he will let me take the blame for him!" Meng Qingxi said bitterly, "After the work is done, he will give me some small favors. My parents died early and my family is poor. Attached to him, living on his charity.

"It's the same when I grow up. Although I have organized a delivery team, all business still depends on him, and it still depends on his face.

"But his problems still persist, and they got worse. One day, he gave me a woman and asked me to marry that woman, and that woman..." Meng Qingxi said tremblingly, "It's Zhixiao's mother!"

what?
Xu Zhen grinned, and then realized, where is the root cause of that disaster?
