The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 147: Pointed Red Lips (11)

Shopkeeper Feng was so shocked that his face paled, and when she said the "bang", he screamed and fell to the ground.This scene happened suddenly, and we saw that she had "beaten" shopkeeper Feng to death again, and we all stared at her with our mouths wide open.After "firing the gun", Mrs. Qi still had a smile on her face, and slowly retracted her hand to her mouth and blew, as if to blow away the invisible gunpowder smoke.

Her expression is too much like a little girl who has succeeded in a prank. She has a kind of innocence that does not know the world, but it is creepy to watch.Bu Ying was also stunned, and then said angrily: "How dare you kill someone in front of the police!"

Mrs. Qi looked at him strangely, and suddenly sneered, "Who said I killed someone?"

"The corpse is here, how dare you deny it..." Bu Ying shouted, but before the last word "recognized" was uttered, he saw shopkeeper Feng suddenly get up from the ground again, touching himself all over, startled and overwhelmed He said happily, "I... I'm not dead? Haha, I'm not dead! I'm not dead!"

He almost cried with joy when he spoke, but we were all dumbfounded. Seeing that he was "shot" and fell to the ground, he was able to jump up like a carp, so we thought it was a fraud.It took us a while to realize that Mrs. Qi's "gun" didn't kill him at all, but he was frightened by the deaths of Lao Yan and shopkeeper Chu, and became a frightened bird, so he was shocked by the "bang" "knock down.

Since he is not dead, Bu Ying naturally has nothing to say.Mrs. Qi looked at Shopkeeper Feng quietly, and suddenly said: "There is one thing that I have never understood. Why must the minority obey the majority? If the decision made by the majority is wrong, is it necessary for the minority to bear the consequences? "

This is a sentence we heard when we first entered the town. At that time, some people also raised such questions among a group of children who were playing the game of "Soldiers and Catch Thieves".At this time Madam Qi also said such words suddenly, we couldn't help being a little surprised.

After Madam Qi said this, she stopped talking to the people present, but turned around and left together with Shopkeeper Qi, and Madam Chu also left behind them.After they all walked away, shopkeeper Quan walked up hesitantly, and also touched shopkeeper Feng all over his body.

"I'm fine." Shopkeeper Feng narrowly escaped death again, knocked off Shopkeeper Quan's hand with a wave, and said with a sigh of relief, "There are only three of us brothers left, I think big brother... won't do anything to us again Bar?"

"It's better to be more careful." Shopkeeper Quan hesitated to speak, and looked at us again, then said goodbye to Shopkeeper Feng, and went home.The three of us and the members of the Feng family were left at the gate of Feng's house, and the shopkeeper Feng ignored us, his face was full of joy for the rest of his life, and he walked in and smiled to himself: "I'm scared to death, why don't we I thought I was going to be killed by this shot."

As he said, he also made a gun gesture with his hand, and then softly shouted at his head: "Bang!"

His affectation was intended to laugh at himself just now, he was so frightened that he was so frightened out of his wits, and at the same time, he wanted to relieve himself.But at this moment, a strange thing happened again - at the time of that "bang" exit, shopkeeper Feng suddenly swayed, and then staggered, the whole person rushed forward and fell to the ground , never got up again.

He was not killed by Mrs. Qi's "gun", but was killed by his own "gun"!

This scene was beyond our expectation, so no one came forward to check on him for a while.When Bu Ying reacted and rushed forward, shopkeeper Feng was already bleeding from all five orifices, and he couldn't die anymore.

"He...he was beaten to death by myself!" Ji Mingmei was a little lost, looking at me in disbelief, and then at Bu Ying.

I also came back to my senses at this time, and I was a little terrified at the same time, I shook my head and said: "He was not killed by myself, but the bullet of Mrs. Qi's 'gun' flew for a long time, and it was only then that it hit him! "

"That's right!" Bu Ying straightened up and clenched his fists. "It's the same for shopkeeper Chu. She didn't fall to the ground when she said 'bang'."

"But, she even has a fake gun, so... how did it take this bullet to fly for so long before hitting these two people?" Ji Mingmei was still puzzled, and her expression was a little panicked.

"Fart bullet!" Bu Ying said angrily, "They were all poisoned to death. The reason why they didn't die at the moment Mrs. Qi 'shot' was because the poison hadn't occurred yet. When the poison occurred, it was already after Mrs. Qi opened fire. It was quite a while after the gun, so it looked like the bullet had traveled a long time before it hit them."

"But... how on earth did she poison these two people from such a long distance?" Ji Mingmei was still a little panicked.It's not just her, I'm also a little horrified, if Mrs. Qi can poison from a distance, wouldn't she be able to kill anyone she wants, and no one can convict her?

"There is no such thing as poisoning from a distance in this world," Bu Ying gritted his teeth, "There must be some details about her poisoning that we have overlooked."

The helper of the Feng family stood aside, seeing the head of the family suddenly fell to the ground and died, he was at a loss as if struck by lightning.It took a while for him to howl loudly, and the people in Feng's house heard him crying like a mourning concubine, and rushed out of the house one after another. After seeing Shopkeeper Feng's corpse, they naturally rushed to the sky as well.

There was a miserable scene at the gate. No matter what kind of person the shopkeeper Feng was, to the Feng family, he was just a pillar and a tile to shelter from the wind. The tragic misfortune at this time was nothing less than a catastrophe for these people.I didn't want to see such a miserable scene, so I signaled Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei to leave.

On the way back to the hotel, Bu Ying kept frowning deeply, thinking about how Mrs. Qi poisoned Chu and Feng. We all participated in it, but we were all at a loss.Although Bu Ying acted erratically, he was actually the one who strictly adhered to the bottom line.So many people had died under his nose, but he was helpless against the murderer, which undoubtedly made him suffocated.

Seeing his gloomy face, Ji Mingmei came up with an idea: "The box of rouge Mrs. Qi gave me contained the poison of Amanita muscaria. Is it feasible to use this excuse to cure her of poisoning?"

"It's useless." Bu Ying said without turning his head, "Although Amanita muscaria is poisonous, it can only cause hallucinations, and there are almost no fatal cases. Since you can't kill people, naturally you can't sue her for poisoning."

Since this method didn't work, we had nothing to do, so we went back to the hotel in silence.As soon as I entered the store, the store clerk greeted me and said with a smile: "The guest is considered to be back. There is a letter from you. The messenger will leave the letter in the store and entrust me to deliver it when you don't arrive. He will leave first." gone."

As he spoke, he handed over a letter to Bu Ying.Shopkeeper Feng and others all died suddenly after receiving the letter, so Bu Ying stepped back a few steps and scolded: "It's the most poisonous woman's heart, she killed Lao Yan, Lao Chu and the others, and now she actually sent the letter It was delivered to me. I won’t accept it, I won’t accept it!”

Ji Mingmei and I were silent for a long while before carefully saying: "The letter received by shopkeeper Yan and others is to reduce their share of rouge in the coming year. You are so poor that you are clanging all over. What share can you reduce?"

Bu Ying jumped up and said, "Can I tell you that I have a huge sum of money?" After the jump, he realized, touched his head again and said, "Yes, why did she send the letter to me?"

I saw him staring at his eyes seeking knowledge, but he didn't intend to accept the letter at all.The guy didn't know what we were talking about, so he opened his mouth wide and wondered what was wrong with the three people in front of him.I quickly took the letter in his hand, thanked him, and then took Bu Ying back to the room.

The envelope was signed by Bu Ying personally. I shook the letter at him and asked him, "Are you sure you won't open it?"

Bu Ying pretended: "You should dismantle it. If you die, I can avenge you. If I die, it will be over once and for all."

Ji Mingmei snatched the letter from my hand angrily, tore off the seal with a "sneak", pulled the letter out of the envelope, and threw it to Bu Ying after signing the money, "Don't worry, there is nothing in the letter. Poison, this is the county's reply to you, didn't you ask them to help you investigate some things before?"

"Oh." Bu Ying was stunned, took the letter but didn't read it, but tilted his head and asked Ji Mingmei, "What did you just say?"

"This is the county's reply to you." Ji Mingmei was also a little confused, staring at Bu Ying and said, "Why didn't I realize that you have the advantage of being afraid of death!"

"No, the previous sentence." Bu Ying ignored her sarcasm, but frowned, "You said there was no poison in the letter?"

"I was the first to be poisoned to death because of the poison. It seems that you are not very popular, cousin, what did you do to them? You have only been to the county once, and they want to poison you to death?"

Bu Ying suddenly laughed when he heard the words, and I couldn't help laughing because of a flash of inspiration in my mind.The two of us looked at each other, Ji Mingmei was confused, and asked suspiciously: "What are you laughing at?"

Bu Ying still wanted to hit Joe, but Ji Mingmei became angry, and was about to come over and punch him on the nose, when he hurriedly raised his hand and said, "The letter is poisonous!"

Ji Mingmei was stunned: "The people in the county really want to poison you to death?"

"It's not that this letter is poisonous." I said aloud, "It's the letters received by Shopkeeper Chu and Shopkeeper Feng that are poisonous. So, it's not that Mrs. Qi poisoned them from the air, but that they were poisoned beforehand, and then It was Mrs. Qi who 'shot' them. Mrs. Qi couldn't control the timing of their poisoning, so they died after a while after being 'shot'."

"However, how can a letter poison someone?" Ji Mingmei's eyes widened in confusion.

"Holding the letter in your hand is naturally not poisonous. But have you noticed that before reading the letter, shopkeeper Feng put his finger in his mouth to soak some saliva before he opened the letter?"

"So, that's when the poison entered Shopkeeper Feng's body?" Ji Mingmei said in shock, "The sender purposely glued the letter paper together, the purpose is to let the person who read the letter spit it out!"

"That's right!" Bu Ying gritted his teeth, "This is the truth about the causes of Chu and Feng's deaths. If you hadn't accidentally mentioned it just now, we wouldn't have thought of it. Have you found out that the shopkeeper Chu threw away the letter before he died On the ground, Shopkeeper Qi picked it up. After Shopkeeper Feng read the letter, Shopkeeper Qi also walked over to pick up his letter. He is destroying the evidence!"

We had seen these details in our eyes before, but we didn't think about them deeply. Now that we think about it, it is indeed as Bu Ying said.In fact, there are many records of poisoning and killing people in letters. There are many records in notebooks and novels in the past dynasties. I have read some of them. The shopkeeper and his wife probably learned from them.It's just that I have been confused by Mrs. Qi's "fake shot", and I couldn't think of it for a while.

Bu Ying sneered again as he spoke, then lowered his head to look at the letter from the county, and after reading the letter, he clapped the case and said, "Guess what is said in this letter?"

Bu Ying looked excited, although he asked us, he said without waiting for us to answer, when he was in the county, he asked the county to help him find out which wealthy households are capable of building a big industry like Yanzhi Town , and has any of them experienced any abnormalities over the years?

Now the reply from the county has come. There are only a handful of families capable of building Yanzhi Town, and one of them is named He, but they don't mainly deal in Yanzhi gouache.The young master of the He family originally had a marriage contract with a young lady from another family, but at the end of the day, he somehow moved on and fell in love with another woman, so he wanted to break off the engagement with the young lady of that family.

Because the He family is a well-known local family, this matter caused quite a stir in the local area and caused a lot of criticism.However, his original fiancée was also from a scholarly family, and she was well-educated. Since the He family did not want to get married again, she persuaded the family to accept the matter, and everyone calmed down the discussion.

Later, the young master of the He family got married. In order to pass the time, the young mistress once opened a small shop by herself, selling rouge and gouache.The He family is thin, and they have been passed down in a single line for several generations.In the fifth year of the Republic of China, the young master and his wife of the He family suddenly disappeared without a trace, and have never been seen since then.

However, the collateral branch of the He family did not report to officials, but slowly eroded the He family's property.Because the He family had no other direct relations, the government at that time let it go, based on the principle of not reporting to officials but not prosecuting.Because the He family's industry has little to do with Yanzhi gouache, no one has connected it with Yanzhi Town these years.

Now because of Bu Ying's words, the county has carefully investigated and found that the only big family that has had problems in recent years is the He family.And the most important point is that the letter also said something that has a great relationship with Caoxi Town - the young lady of the He family back then, her natal family was in Caoxi Town!
