Chapter 123 Peach Blossom Beauty Makeup

Chapter 123 Peach Blossom Beauty Makeup ([-])
No. 40, No. [-], West Nine Lane.

A peach blossom-shaped blessing was pasted on the door, and two peach blossom lanterns were hung. A few bamboo leaves floated from the courtyard wall, and a few cat meows came from the house.

Standing outside, it is not difficult to see the elegance and delicacy of the owner.

"Is anyone there? Is anyone home?"

Gu Buquan yelled twice, but no one answered.

The door was ajar, so Sun Xiaokong pushed it open and slipped in.
"Sun Xiaokong, come back quickly, please don't enter unless you have, it's very bad."

Gu Buquan chased Sun Xiaokong into the yard, but Sun Xiaokong ran into other people's houses again.

She soon stopped.

What greets the eyes is a scene of tranquility, warmth and tranquility.

A man is taking a nap in a chair in front of a drawing table, on which is a sheet of paper with blooming peach blossoms.

A woman is leaning on a Yaoqin, with her face sideways, as if she is meditating on the piano.

A kitten squatted at the woman's feet, calling "meow".

There are flowers on the window sill, and there is a stove under the window. On the stove, tea is cooked slowly. The fragrance of tea is overflowing and pleasant.

Judging from their attire, it is a man and a woman who came to order the coffin three days ago. They left the same address. I did not expect that they are really a family. Moreover, even at home they are dressed so neatly, which is really rare. .

"Maybe they have important guests coming to visit?" Gu Buquan thought.

However, there is no need to use a coffin at all.

When I walked through the alley just now, I didn't see any family holding funerals, which made people quite puzzled.

"Well, it's like this. I'm the owner of the Luoyanpo coffin shop. The coffin you ordered has already been finished and painted four times. It's done according to the best craftsmanship. Because I didn't know what you ordered before. It’s the same address, so I just wanted to ask, if it’s a heavy order, it doesn’t matter, the coffin can be refunded, and the deposit can also be refunded to you.”

Gu Buquan asked, and quietly waited for the answer from the host.

For a long time, there was no movement.

The man was sitting motionless, while the woman was still leaning on the piano and didn't intend to get up.

"not good."

Ling An was taken aback, and hurried forward to take a closer look, only to see that the man's eyes were bloodshot, his complexion was black and gray, his lips were black, and mucus overflowed from the corner of his mouth.

Gu Buquan also went to check on the woman, and saw that she was resting her head sideways on the piano, her appearance was similar to that of a man's, but her lips were not so dark, probably because of the lip balm.

Both are dead.

The man is already completely cold, but the woman's body is still warm.

The peach blossom on the woman's forehead echoes the peach blossom on the man's painting.

Three days ago, Gu Buquan had said straightly that the peach blossom makeup on the woman's forehead was very cute, so Ling An couldn't open the coffin shop, and wanted to take her to plant peach trees and enjoy the peach blossoms together, and live an elegant and delicate life like that woman.

Unexpectedly, after only three days, what I saw was such a strange scene, which made my back feel numb.

"He died from poisoning, but there is no garlic smell, not arsenic." Gu Buquan whispered.

"Ah."

In addition to the smell of tea in the room, Gu Buquan's sensitive nose smelled another smell, but he still couldn't tell where it came from.

She leaned close to the woman's mouth and sniffed again and again, shaking her head, but she didn't have the smell just now, and this smell permeated the air.

At this moment, the man's body suddenly trembled, and Ling An suddenly jumped away in shock. Is there really a fake corpse in this world?

"Unexpectedly, a fool would be scared." Gu Buquan said.

"My master said that people who are poisoned often struggle because of the pain. The intestines in the stomach are twisted together, and then slowly loosen, which makes the body move slightly. Although I have never seen it, I think it should be like this. Such a situation."

"Oh."

Ling An responded, and seeing the man's body move again, he was afraid that he would fall off the chair, so he supported the man's shoulders, and at the same time leaned over to sniff the breath of the man's mouth.

"Sir..." A woman came in with a basket of vegetables, and when she saw Gu Buquan and Ling An, she stopped abruptly.

"Who are you? What did you do to Mr.?" the woman asked.

Ling An let go of his hand, but unexpectedly the man tilted his head and fell down from the chair, his face was facing the woman.

The woman was so startled that she dropped the vegetable basket and ran out, shouting as she ran, "Kill, kill, they killed Mr...."

The neighbors on the left and right heard the shouts swarming in, and Gu Buquan and Ling An were blocked in the house.

"Quick, stop them, don't let them run away."

"No, when we came, they were already dead..." Gu Buquan explained.

"Nonsense, I just saw it with my own eyes. One of you held the head of the gentleman, and the other poured poison into his mouth. It was you who killed the husband... and madam."

"We're just looking at how they died."

"Do you still dare to argue? Are you a government official or a police officer, and you dare to check the corpse casually?"

Gu Buquan and Ling An looked at each other speechlessly, because the incident happened so suddenly that they couldn't argue with each other.

"Mister is so good, why did you kill him?"

The woman burst into tears, picked up the vegetable basket on the ground, and threw the vegetable leaves towards Gu Buquan.

"Chives?" Gu Buquan grabbed the leaves and sniffed them, "Why does it smell wrong?"

Seeing that Gu Buquan was dazed, Ling An hurriedly protected her, and when he turned around, a large piece of tofu smeared on his face.

Then more messy things were thrown towards them, and the room suddenly became chaotic.

"The scene of the murder, please do not disturb."

Ling An tried his best to push these neighbors back, but they were also trapped in the middle and couldn't get out, they were confronting each other.

In fact, the neighbors don’t know that if there is a life lawsuit, no matter what, they have to deal with the interrogation by the officials, especially those who are not close to the Pei family are suspected, and it will be time-consuming and labor-intensive for the government to ask. , so no matter what reason Gu Buquan and Ling An appeared here, they must be put on top first.

"Whether you have been wronged or not, we have to wait for the officials from the government to come." Said an old man with a gray beard among the neighbors.

"That's natural." Ling An replied.

Gu Buquan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the servants of Jingzhao Fu Yin coming, as long as he is not from the Shenhunsi, otherwise it will be very difficult for Ling An to escape.

Jingzhao Mansion Yin's surname is Zhou, and his name is Wen Hao. He is also a diligent person. After receiving the report, he led his servants to the west of the city in a hurry.

And Gu Buquan brought it up again in a breathless breath just now, secretly thinking that something big is not good, this is another governor who likes to "come to the scene in person", if he thinks he is just judging cases like Qingzhou governor Yiliangjin, things will only get worse Oops.

Mr. Fu Yin looked at Gu Buquan and Ling An who were in a state of distress in front of him, and frowned deeply. He asked people to watch them first, but he didn't rush to interrogate them. He just went to the neighbors to find out the situation, and he did a good job. Looks good.

According to the neighbors, the couple moved to No. 48, West Nine Lane less than half a year ago. The owner of the house was named Pei Sheng. He was also regarded as the honored guest by Xichen Tea House.

The Pei couple are very loving, humble, and never feud with others. They often teach the children in the neighborhood to read, write, calligraphy and painting, so the neighbors respect them very much.

That woman is the daughter of the Dou family who sells tofu in the same alley, her name is Shantao, and she often sends some vegetables and tofu to the Pei family, and she also learns painting from Mr. Pei.

Shantao recounted the scene she "saw with her own eyes" before, and swore to heaven and earth that if there was even half a lie, she would die badly.

The neighbors said that they heard the sound of the piano coming from the house half an hour before the incident, and except for Gu Buquan and Ling An, no one else entered Pei's house. Yes, it was Gu Buquan and Ling An who poisoned Mr. Pei and his wife.

"Sir is such a nice person..."

Shantao wiped away her tears again as she spoke, and looked at Gu Buquan and Ling An with resentment, while the neighbors began to point and whisper.

"Hmm." Lord Fu Yin listened carefully for a while, then nodded, and then turned to Gu Buquan and Ling An to ask questions.

"Who are you?"

"Master, my name is Gu Buquan, he is an idiot. We sell coffins and live in the courtyard of Fu's family in Luoyanpo." Gu Buquan replied.

"Because a man and a woman came to order high-quality coffins three days ago, and each left a deposit of one or two. I saw that they left the same address, and I was afraid that they would make a heavy order, so I came here to check. If you don't want to go in, just look at it They were all poisoned to death."

"Hmm." Lord Zhou nodded again, stroking his short beard and pondering, "I ordered the coffin three days ago, one at a time, one at a time, leaving the same address..."

Suddenly, he jumped up against the case, "Come here, take them back to the government office, and put them in death row to wait for punishment."

"My lord, why is this?" Gu Buquan was taken aback.

Master Zhou sneered: "A loving couple came to order coffins one after the other three days ago, and they still have the same address. What the hell are you talking about? The neighbors can prove that they are alive and well, and there are no other relatives in their family. What kind of coffin to order? It is obvious that you poisoned people to death in order to sell the coffin. Next time you make up nonsense, try to make it more mellow, oh no, there will be no next time.

Since the beginning of winter, the public security in the capital has been in serious trouble, Mr. Zhou has been reprimanded by the Holy Majesty many times, and he is holding back his grievances. This case was solved cleanly and neatly, which swept away the troubles in his heart for the past few days.

"The case has been solved, come, take them away and send them to death row."

Mr. Zhou was very satisfied with the conclusion of this case, but when the guards escorted Gu Buquan and Ling An away, he suddenly remembered something.

"Stop!" He looked at Ling An's face and asked, "Why does this officer think you look familiar?"

"Uh..." Gu Buquan's heartbeat speeded up, he tried his best to calm down, and smiled, "My lord, you don't remember, he is the stupid son of the seventh aunt's family, the eighth aunt's nephew's family in your hometown, well, this relative is far away, But no matter how far away, they are still relatives. Or, my lord, why don't you take us away?"

Mr. Zhou didn't like this, and snorted coldly: "Then it's just for me to kill relatives righteously, and take him away!"

"Dog officer." Gu Buquan scolded with tears in his eyes.
