The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 148: Pointed Red Lips (12)

Ji Mingmei and I were overjoyed when we heard this.I was about to speak when Ji Mingmei rushed to say, "So the couple who died in Caoxi Town were the young master couple of the He family!"

Bu Ying nodded, "Now it seems that they are probably the ones."

"The identities of the couple have been clarified, but the origins of the Qi family and others are still unknown. Would you like to ask the county to investigate again? Who had close contacts with the He family at that time, and the five families of Qi and Feng had a large number of people , should be found out." I said to Bu Ying.

"No need," Bu Ying shook his head, and raised the letter paper at me, "I've already figured out their origins. The letter said that back then, the young master and his wife of the He family were willing to do good deeds. There was a sensational event."

"Huh?" Ji Mingmei and I both looked at him.

Bu Ying's eyes sharpened, "their couple planned to let beggars from far and near invest in their own property and become employees of He's family, so that they would not suffer from hunger and cold. But most beggars are actually controlled by beggar heads. These actions undoubtedly cut off the beggar's livelihood, so several big beggars joined forces to go to He's house to make trouble, causing quite a dispute."

As soon as he finished speaking, I immediately remembered the words said by the beggar in Yanzhi Town.He said to Bu Ying at that time: "I am a beggar from Yanzhi Town, but I am not a beggar from Yanzhi Town. Do you understand?"

These words are self-contradictory, we couldn't understand them at the time, but now that Bu Ying said these things, we immediately came to our senses. "Qi, Quan, Feng, Chu, Yan and other five families are all from beggars! It's not that beggar who really controls the beggars in Yanzhi Town!"

So in Yanzhi Town, a prosperous commercial town, no one accepts donations from beggars, because the Qi family and others are the real beggars in Yanzhi Town; Know the methods of these real beggars!
Back then, shopkeeper Qi and others killed He's young master and his wife because they were forced by a group of people outside the town.Now that I think about it, this group of people turned out to be beggars too, presumably they were originally with Shopkeeper Qi and the others, but Shopkeeper Qi and the others took their men to defect to the He family and cut off the wealth of those people.

So those people became angry from embarrassment, and took control of the family members of shopkeeper Qi and others, in order to coerce them to kill the He couple to vent their anger.Shopkeeper Qi and the others cared deeply about their family members, and they did what they wished to kill someone in exchange for their family members.And once the He family and his wife died, this huge Yanzhi town would become a thing without an owner.

So they kept on doing nothing, simply occupied the place, and started their own rouge and gouache business.Among the collateral lines of the He family, some people may know the relationship between Yanzhi Town and the He family, but because the He family has no other direct descendants, those collateral lines want to erode the He family's property and avoid being involved in disputes with the beggars. Neither wanted to investigate the cause of the He couple's death.

Under the superimposition of various factors, this matter was actually covered up like this.After more than [-] years of management by the Qi family and others, Yanzhi Town has gradually become famous far and wide.

Because the Qi family and others are beggars, and beggars have no background.As for the group of people who forced them to kill, because what they did was also illegal, they had no intention of exposing them.So in the past twenty years, no one knew their identities, as if a group of people walked out of the void and built Rouge Town.

And this mysterious replacement of Rouge Town adds a touch of attraction, but those who are attracted will not think that there is a couple of blood and tears hidden behind this town.

We sorted out the ins and outs of the matter at this time, and we all fell into silence.The most innocent person in this whole matter was undoubtedly He's young master.He took in a group of homeless beggars for charity, and wanted them to rely on themselves to avoid hunger and cold, but in the end, it was this group of people who sent him and his lover to death.

I thought of his abandoned body outside Caoxi Town, so lonely and helpless.There is also the young lady of the He family, who has witnessed her good deeds being rewarded with evil.I wonder if they regretted their actions before they died?

Because of the successive deaths, Bu Ying was originally very angry with Madam Qi, but now that he knew the truth of the matter, he no longer felt bad for her.Now it seems that Mrs. Qi is avenging the He couple, there is no doubt about it, but I don't know what kind of relationship she has with the He couple.

The He couple died in the fifth year of the Republic of China, but Mrs. Qi was in her early forties, almost the same age as them, so naturally she would not be the descendants of the He couple.That being the case, why would she be so persistent in avenging them?There is also shopkeeper Qi, who was also one of the murderers who killed the He couple, so why did he cooperate with Mrs. Qi?

Is it really because they reached a settlement, one for revenge and the other for monopolizing Rouge Town?

Both Ji Mingmei and Bu Ying hold this point of view, but I said: "The supplier's ability to deliver this reminder letter on time shows that he is also a member of the Qi family. If this is the case, it is actually a good idea for the shopkeeper Qi to monopolize Yanzhi Town." It's a very simple matter, as long as the suppliers are not allowed to supply the other four, why kill people?"

"What you said makes sense." Bu Ying pondered, and suddenly slapped the table, "Actually, I think that the shopkeeper Qi has already controlled the supplier. He has been running Yanzhi Town for so many years. If he is still held hostage by the supplier , isn’t that too short-sighted? Besides, if he doesn’t control the suppliers, why should they cooperate with him in this matter?”

"If that's the case, then he really doesn't need to kill people at all. So the purpose of his doing these things is actually for Mrs. Qi?" Ji Mingmei's big eyes sparkled, "Although he himself is one of the murderers, but To avenge her in exchange for forgiveness? Thinking about it this way, shopkeeper Qi is still a seed of infatuation!"

No matter what, she can think about the relationship between men and women. This is Ji Mingmei's specialty, and it complements Bu Ying's thick-skinned specialty.After basically confirming that shopkeeper Quan and others murdered and seized property, Bu Ying was not in a hurry. He didn't even plan to go to the Qi family and his wife now, but was going to wait to see if there would be a letter tomorrow, so that shopkeeper Quan's life would be delivered. Give it away too.

"This is revenge and murder." I stared at him with wide eyes. "You actually want to sit back and watch it happen?"

"Who said I want to sit back and watch them avenge their personal revenge?" Bu Ying also looked back at me solemnly.

"Didn't you say that you have to wait to see if there will be another letter tomorrow, and you will also lose the life of the whole shopkeeper?" I wondered.

"Yes, what else? I'm going to arrest the Qi family now? But there is no evidence. What we said just now is all our inference. The bones of the He family have long since disappeared, and now there is no evidence. Very desperate." Bu Ying shrugged and spread his hands towards me.

I was speechless by him, but I didn't take it to heart.In fact, things are exactly as Bu Ying said, even if we can prove that the establishment of Yanzhi Town is related to the He couple, it still cannot prove that shopkeeper Qi and the others killed the He couple.In addition, the He couple has no descendants, and the matter has passed for more than [-] years, so if the government intervenes in this unsolved case, it will basically be nothing.

Since the law cannot give justice to the He couple, no matter what the relationship between Mrs. Qi and the He couple is, it is the best choice for her to ask for justice.It's just that in the end, Mrs. Qi also needs to pay the price for her actions.Bu Ying probably thought the same way, so he turned a blind eye to Mrs. Qi.

Since we are not planning to go to Qi's house to make trouble now, and the night is getting late, we are going to bed and rest.Bu Ying unceremoniously occupied the bed in the room, yawned and said, "You can do whatever you want, you've all slept on the same bed anyway."

Ji Mingmei and I blushed at the same time, Ji Mingmei stomped his feet, went out and opened a new room at the counter, leaving me and Bu Ying in the room.Thinking of Bu Ying's grunting sound that could knock the roof off, I couldn't help but feel my scalp tingle.While hesitating, Bu Ying said with a faint smile but not a smile: "How about you follow me out too?"

As soon as I heard this, I hurriedly climbed onto the bed, closed my eyes and said to him: "Sleep without talking, sleep!"

Bu Ying sneered, "You can either sleep with me or with her. I don't believe you can escape the clutches of our brothers and sisters!"

Before I finished speaking, I waved the back of my hand and landed on his nose.Bu Ying's sinister smile suddenly turned into a scream, which made me quite relieved, thinking that although I can't escape your palm, you can't escape the back of my hand.Bu Ying got hit on the nose by me, got angry and turned his back on me, wondering if he was secretly crying.

When I opened my eyes the next day, Ji Mingmei was already in our room, staring seriously at Bu Ying and me on the bed.I was horrified by her look, so I hurriedly jumped off the bed, and at the same time pulled Bu Ying up, ready to wash up, have breakfast, and then go to Qi's house.

Unexpectedly, when we had just finished washing and hadn't gone out for breakfast, the guy who lived in the hotel knocked on the door and came in, saying that someone was waiting to see us in the lobby.The three of us glanced at each other, and Bu Ying smiled and said, "Guess who is here?"

"Except for those who are in danger of their lives, who would leave breakfast early in the morning and come to us, maybe we look better than fried dough sticks and buns." I replied with a smile.

"Wrong!" Bu Ying shook his big head and said, "Of course my cousin looks better than fried dough sticks."

He thought that the sycophancy would be unremarkable, but Ji Mingmei looked at him calmly.He was startled, and suddenly said seriously: "The weather is fine today."

The words were inexplicable, we were all taken aback, and Bu Ying took the opportunity to rush out of the room.Ji Mingmei snorted at his back, then smiled sweetly at me, and said, "Brother Xiushu, let's go too." Then she came up and took my arm.

I laughed dryly, it was more uncomfortable than wearing the shackles, because there is no such big shackles as Miss Ji in this world.When we got to the lobby, we saw the shopkeeper Quan standing there as if dead, and saw Bu Ying come out like a savior.We stood beside Bu Ying, and the shopkeeper Quan nodded to us with a smile on his face.

"The shopkeeper Quan came to see me early in the morning, do you have any advice?" Bu Ying asked lazily.

"Old Feng...was also killed last night." Shopkeeper Quan trembled, "I'm the only one left now."

"Oh, that's it." Bu Ying said with a smile, "Then why do you come to me?"

"You're a policeman," Quan the shopkeeper said anxiously, "what do you want to do with you!"

"Huh, now you remember that I'm a policeman?" Bu Ying asked strangely, "Didn't you guys ignore me at all yesterday? By the way, the pose of the beggar's head hanging on himself before death is not very good. After I came back, I had several nightmares one after another, dreaming that he was going to drag me to die together, but I was terrified, and now this little heart is still beating wildly."

Shopkeeper Quan's face turned red and white, but he couldn't speak.Seeing this, I deliberately said: "Why do people die one after another, does the shopkeeper know the reason?"

"I... I suspect that the Qi family attacked us in order to monopolize Yanzhi Town." Shopkeeper Quan said after hesitation.

"No, if that's the case, why would the supplier cooperate with the Qi family?" I shook my head and said, "Since the Qi family can let the supplier cooperate with him to kill people, then it is probably possible to prevent him from supplying you. Is there any need to kill people? By the way, you have also read those letters, are they really from the supplier?"

Shopkeeper Quan was stunned for a moment, "The correspondence between us has special marks, and the letter was indeed written by him. It makes sense for you to say so. Could it be... Could it be that the Qi family has already controlled the supplier?"

I gave him a slight nod to indicate that this was probably the case.The shopkeeper Quan was puzzled again: "Since it's not to monopolize Yanzhi Town, then...then why did the Qi family attack us?"

"Have you forgotten what you did in Caoxi Town more than 20 years ago?" Bu Ying said abruptly.

When Shopkeeper Quan heard him mentioning Caoxi Town, his expression changed drastically, and he said sharply, "How do you know what happened to Caoxi Town more than 20 years ago!"

"We don't know, what happened more than 20 years ago?" Bu Ying said leisurely, but looked at the shopkeeper coldly.

Shopkeeper Quan's face changed drastically, and he still didn't speak.At this moment, a person suddenly walked in outside the store, and when he saw Shopkeeper Quan, he shouted: "Treasurer Quan! Shopkeeper Quan!"

When shopkeeper Quan turned his head, he saw that guy from the Qi family came up to him, wiped his sweat and said, "So you are here, so I can find it easily. I have a letter from you."

We were all taken aback when we heard that the Qi family actually sent the letter here!The shopkeeper Quan's expression turned pale, and he scolded sternly: "What kind of letter, I won't accept it! I won't accept it!"

"If you don't accept it, I won't be able to do business when I go back." The guy said anxiously, "Don't embarrass me as a guy. By the way, Mrs. Qi asked me to tell you that the heads of the four families of Qi, Feng, Chu, and Yan Or if the family members all agree unanimously, this letter should be received by you, the minority obeys the majority!"
