Brocade clothing

Chapter 21 The Fifth Person
In the silence of the night, a scent suddenly wafted, followed by the sound of footsteps.

The two yamen servants walked out in a hurry and said: "... Hurry up, the arresters are all angry. If the murderer is not caught in three days, I am afraid that the adults will be implicated. Qian Wuzuo said that he found some clues, let's go there first .”

"Then I have to eat, I haven't eaten all day..." Another voice came, and quickly disappeared.

Chu Qing's nose twitched slightly, and suddenly her eyes lit up: Ying Fu Lou!How did she forget about this place?Ying Fu Lou is the largest restaurant in Longmen Town, so there is no guarantee that no one will know what to order. After all, there are quite a few dignitaries who have business dealings with the Liu family.Chu Qing stood up abruptly and wanted to go out, but thinking that it was closed now, she had to suppress the eagerness in her heart and go back to catch up on sleep, so that she could cheer up and go to Yingfulou to meet Boss Nie tomorrow.

In the morning of the next day, Chu Qing walked out of the room in a trembling state. Qin Butou hadn't returned all night, so he must still be busy with the murder case.

When she walked out of the backyard, she happened to meet Qin Butou with a serious face and Qian Wuzuo walking in. Qian Wuzuo was talking about something, Qin Butou listened patiently, his brows became tighter and tighter, and said: "Are you sure what you said is true?" Correct? If it is wrong, this matter will really make a big fuss."

Qian Wuzuo hurriedly said: "...I have already analyzed the identities of the three female corpses. They are all women from small families, but the only thing in common is that they are pregnant. Someone must have raped them and blocked them later." Their mouths, but those women wanted to go to that man when they were pregnant, but they were killed by the other party to silence them. And the only one who had contact with them and molested them was the son of He Yuan's family..."

"But Mr. He Yuan's family and Mr. Fuyin belong to the same school. If there is a mistake, let alone us, even Mr. Qin can't stop it." Qin catcher rubbed his brows, and the hand on his waist became heavier. Li said: "Are you sure?"

"You don't know that Mr. He Yuanwai arrests the head. He eats, drinks, prostitutes and gambles all kinds of crimes. It is not impossible for a typical dude to commit murder and rape." Qian Wuzuo touched the sweat on his forehead, and he was also anxious. Ah, the above said that there is only three days, if he can't find out, his work may be over.

Qin Butou pondered for a long time before saying with a solemn expression: "Okay, then I will go to ask your lord for instructions now, and get the search documents, and you will go to He Yuan's house with me." As soon as Qin Butou finished speaking, he looked up and said Seeing Chu Qing, she nodded: "Want to go out?"

Chu nodded lightly and said, "Yes, I'm going out to do some errands, I'm afraid I'll come back later today, please leave a door for Qin Butou."

Qin catcher waved his hand, and Chu Qing left.

Chu Qing went to Yingfu Tower first, and when Boss Nie heard her coming, he came out to greet her personally, the joy on his face couldn't be concealed, he pulled Chu Qing's sleeves and wanted to buckle her down, and said repeatedly : "Young master Chu, your plan is really useful. Look at Nie's Yingfulou, it has been five or six years since such a grand event occurred."

The two stood on the railing on the second floor and looked down. In the lobby on the first floor, all the people who came to buy fried rice worms were lined up outside the building. Those who were too lazy to wait just found a seat and ordered a small drink. Side dishes are drinking, waiting while drinking.The whole Ying Fu Lou was extremely lively and noisy.

Boss Nie beamed with joy, and said happily, "Mr. Chu, your solution is better, but this worm is too simple. I wonder if there are any other delicacies? Don't worry, Mr. Chu." Boss Nie patted his chest and assured: "This This time I will never lose to Mr. Chu, and I will give you another dish for Nie, 40 taels for a dish, which is not even in the capital."

Chu Qing took a look downstairs, turned around, leaned back against the railing, slowly shook her head and said, "I'm not in the mood."

"Huh?" The joy on Boss Nie's face faded a little. He has been in the mall for so many years, so he naturally knows how to read words and expressions, and tentatively asked, "Brother Chu, is something on your mind?"

Chu Qing sighed a few times, looked up at the tassels hanging from her head with a "lonely" face, and said: "Yes, maybe there is something bothering, if it is not for something, let alone a dish, it is ten dishes and one dish. Baidao, it's no problem."

Boss Nie became agitated, and said, "One hundred words? Brother Chu, are you serious?"

Chu Qingyou glanced at him and said: "But let alone a hundred, I'm not in the mood for one."

"Well, why don't you tell Nie? Although Nie's Yingfulou is not very impressive, the Nie family still has something to say in Longmen Town." Boss Nie put Chu Qing's shoulders on his shoulders and persuaded him. : "Let's go, go to the wing with someone Nie to drink some wine and have a good talk."

Chu Qing lowered her head, raised the corners of her mouth, gave way, and followed Boss Nie away.

Chu Qing quickly told Boss Nie that she liked Ah Bao of the Liu family, but she had no choice but to tell Boss Nie that she was pregnant with someone else's child and died tragically. Boss Nie patted his chest and promised to pay attention to him. When the news comes, Chu Qing will be the first to tell it.

Chu Qing complied, and promised Boss Nie that if he could make Ah Bao rest in peace, he would tell him the recipe of the ten dishes.

When Chu Qing returned to the yamen, it was already dark, and she was persuaded by Boss Nie to drink two glasses of sake, with the scent of wine on her body, she would not be drunk, but her eyes were a little blurred.She still had ten taels of silver in her hand, but she didn't plan to stay at the inn. In the yamen, she could know anything immediately.

But when she stepped into the yamen, she felt that the whole yamen was covered with a layer of sadness.

The yamen servants in twos and threes stood apart, with their heads drooped, leaning on sticks, listless.

Chu Qing frowned, but didn't ask any further questions, and went straight into the backyard.

As soon as he entered, he saw Qin Tuotou sitting at the stone table unhappy, his brows were furrowed, and the word "Chuan" was very obvious.Chu Qing thought to herself, it was probably a Yamen's case, she didn't ask any further questions, she rubbed her painful forehead and walked towards the room.Thinking about it, next time I can't drink with Boss Nie, if I get drunk and find out the identity of the woman, it will be very bad.

But before she could walk in, she heard Qin Butou's voice behind her, asking, "Young Master Chu, do you have time?"

Chu Qing raised her eyebrows strangely, it was rare to hear Qin Tutou so leisurely, turned her head, walked towards Qin Tutou and said, "Qin Tutou, what's wrong?"

"Sit." Qin Tutou pointed to the seat opposite, his expression still dignified.

The yard was a bit dark, and a lamp was lit in the distance, which made Qin Butou's face even more frowning.

Chu Qing sat down according to her words, and asked slowly: "If Qin Butou has anything to say, just speak up, if you can help, Chu will definitely not refuse." Qin Butou helped her, and she understands the principle of repaying kindness .

Qin Butou sighed and said: "If the matter is not too difficult, I would not bother you, Mr. Chu." He knew that Chu Qing was trying to find a way to investigate the affairs of Liu's family, but this murder case involved so many things that he had to Do not come for help.

Seeing that what he said was too serious, Chu Qing also sat up straight, thought for a while, and asked, "But the murder case these days?"

"Yes." Qin Qin said with his head and jaw: "Master Chu must have heard about it in the past few days. During this period of time, people were killed in Longmen Town. Three people have died. No, even today, five people have died. I'm alone." Qin Catcher lowered his eyes and pursed his lips tightly, looking serious and serious, with a hint of annoyance.

"Five people died? Two more died today?" Chu Qing asked in surprise.Chu Qing thought, it shouldn't be that simple, because if two more people died simply, it would not be so difficult for Qin Tutou.

"Yes, two people died, one is the son of Yuan He's family, and the other is the No.4 woman who was just murdered." Qin Qin's head hurts.

"Huh? The son of He Yuan's family? How did he die? Where did he die?" Chu Qing grasped the key points and asked them one by one.

"... died in the yamen." Qin Butou clenched his fists and said, "Let me tell you from the beginning. This murder case has been dragging on for too long, and a female corpse will appear every once in a while. The noise in Longmen Town There was an uproar, and people were panicking. Therefore, Mr. Fu Yin issued an order to solve the case within three days."

Chu Qing nodded: "I heard that."

Qin Butou continued: "It's nothing at all. Although the case is a little urgent, as long as it can be solved. However, in the morning, Qian Wuzuo came to me and said that he had found the suspect, which was He Yuan's family. His son, He Cheng. This He Cheng is a tyrant in Longmen Town, who bullies men and women and does all kinds of evil. The three women who died earlier were molested by him a few months before their death, and when they died, they were all pregnant. They are pregnant and they are all women who have not left the court, so after investigation, He Cheng is the most likely."

Chu Qing also frowned, and asked, "So you arrested He Cheng?"

Qin Butou nodded and said: "Yes, I took the handwriting from the lord and brought He Cheng to the Yamen, but I didn't expect that He Cheng resisted vigorously, saying that he didn't kill anyone, and under the excitement, he died suddenly... "However, the identity of He Cheng is not simple, He Yuan's family is in the same family as Mr. He, governor of the government, and it happens that He Cheng is the nephew of Mr. He, so this incident completely caused a big mess.

Chu Qing fell silent, and said, "What happened to the fourth female corpse?"

Qin Butou said: "The female corpse was just discovered at the time when He Cheng was arrested, so He Cheng's suspicion was just ruled out, but I didn't expect He Cheng to die like this. His uncle is the Lord's boss Yin He My lord. Mr. He, the prefect of the government, is furious, and ordered his lord to solve the case before sunset tomorrow, otherwise, he will report to the imperial court and severely punish his lord for neglecting human life, dereliction of duty, and the felony of the entire Longmen town yamen." Originally, He Cheng was in poor health and had a heart. However, he died in the yamen, and they couldn't shirk their responsibility.

Qian Wuzuo also knew that he had made a fool of himself, so he was kneeling in the lobby right now, not daring to get up.

He immediately went to ask the officials in the neighboring towns, but no one dared to touch the muddy water.

So, he had no choice but to ask Chu Qing.
