The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 85 Drunk Flower Yin (9)

After the drunkard had said everything he knew, and probably couldn't say anything else, Bu Ying got up and walked out of the room with me, but when he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and slapped the drunkard.The drunkard, who was soft-spoken before seeing him, suddenly changed his face again, and was a little dazed by his beating.

I was thinking about something on my mind, I didn't pay attention to him for a while, and I turned my head away when the applause sounded, and I was a little confused, and asked him: "What are you doing?"

"This slap is for Yin Di." Bu Ying said solemnly.

"What about the previous one?"

"Before, I just hit if I wanted to, just for fun." Bu Ying smiled sinisterly at the alcoholic, who actually took a step back in fright.

I know that he has always wanted to defend Yindi, and he was a little silent when he heard the words. He thought that the drunkard had really hooked up with the second lady, but who knew that all this was all his illusion, and Yindi died unjustly.We walked out of the room and came to the room I stayed in before. Bu Ying lay down on the bed, and said deeply: "Tell me, are there really ghosts in this world?"

Just as I was about to answer, Bu Ying rolled his eyes again and said, "'Yes, aren't you the one?' Well, I've already said what I want to say for you, so you don't need to open your mouth."

"If there is no ghost," I ignored him, "don't you think this fact is difficult to explain?"

"This matter has reached a dead end. Without new clues, nothing else can be found. Just relying on the drunkard's words is not enough to believe." Bu Ying also said sternly.

"What about now, escort me to the county?" I said.

"It's not urgent, you can't escape from my palm anyway." Bu Ying crossed his legs on the bed, "Let's go and check the notes and letters first, I always think they won't have anything to do with the owner. Death has nothing to do with it."

"How to check?" I asked him.

"I'll check it wherever I found it." Bu Ying replied with a weird expression, and a light seemed to flash in his eyes, but I didn't take it to heart.

The note was found in the hotel, so Bu Ying and I were going to check it out after lunch.Because I can basically be sure that the owner of the villa was not killed by me, so I felt a lot more relaxed than before, and then I remembered to ask why Bu Ying appeared in Jiaoling Town.

When Bu Ying heard me asking him, he stopped and turned to me: "You finally remembered to ask me. Do you remember those prisoners in Guhuai Prison, how many people were there?"

I actually counted them. I was not included in the prison at that time. When Bu Ying led people to rescue them, a total of 59 people survived, including the four people who were taken away by "ghosts", a total of 63 people.

"63 people. I counted, what happened?" I asked him.

"It is indeed 63 people, but the number is wrong."

"There are fewer people?"

"On the contrary, there are too many." Bu Ying said, "At the beginning, Gu Yin took away the quota of escorts. There was a record in the government. After I went back, I checked the files at that time and found that he took away 61 people There are two more people."

"Huh." I was also surprised, "Is there no record in the file who went with Gu Yin? You can compare it, and you will know who is extra."

"At that time, there was a lot of chaos. Who would have the heart to remember such details, but I just mentioned a little bit. In a certain year and a certain month, someone assisted the government to protect some people to evacuate."

"Could it be that the person who made the archives made a mistake at that time?" I was a little disapproving after being surprised, "Isn't it just one or two more people, what's the big deal?"

"I thought so too. It wasn't until I began to resettle those prisoners that I realized something was wrong." Bu Ying frowned tightly, "Most people have contacted relatives who can accept them, and some people have relatives and friends who can accept them even if they don't have relatives." It’s nothing strange, but one of them caught my attention, do you know who she asked us to contact?”

"Who?"

"It's the dead owner of the winery." Bu Ying's expression became more and more serious, "And I went to check the family at that time, and found that there was a person named Xiuhong in their family! It's so close to Hushan, so I was Thinking back, when Gu Yin left Guhuai Prison to go to Hushan, it was very likely that he came for Xiuhong."

It turned out that he also found out Xiuhong's identity and chased her all the way to Jiaoling Town.I suddenly realized, and then I fell into deep thought. Gu Yin came to track down Xiuhong, but there was a relative and friend of Xiuhong in Guhuai Prison. It was a bit too coincidental.

"Could it be that this person is one of the two extra people? Do you think it is possible that other people in Guhuai Prison were imprisoned there by accident, but this person is the one that Gu Yin really wanted to imprison? Live? By the way, who is this person?" I asked Bu Ying.

"If I didn't tell you, you would never guess who she is." Bu Ying said mysteriously, "Jin Di, I live in this hotel. I followed her all the way here."

It turned out to be a jindi.I was also speechless for a moment in shock, and I immediately thought of that calm-looking woman in my mind. "Then do you know what relationship she has with Xiuhong?"

As soon as the words came out of my mouth, I suddenly remembered what Second Miss said about the portrait.She said that the portrait was painted by Xiuhong many years ago, and she wanted to send the painting under the guise of a city patrol horse, so that the owner of the village might feel that it was sent by Xiuhong, so she could feel at ease.And after comparing the handwriting, I already knew that the portrait was not sent by the second lady to the hotel, but if the portrait was indeed painted by Xiuhong, then could the person who sent the letter be Xiuhong?

She was expelled from the winery by the old owner many years ago, so it is reasonable to send a portrait back to test the meaning of the owner.Then I thought that Jindi was related to Xiuhong, and lived in the same hotel as me, so I had the opportunity to leave letters and notes.So, is it possible that Jindi is Xiuhong?
Seeing that I was trembling slightly, Bu Ying said, "Have you ever thought that Jindi might be Xiuhong? The reason why she appeared in Guhuai Prison may not be because she was the object of escort, but because Guyin Found her identity and imprisoned her there."

"You've thought of this possibility a long time ago, why didn't you tell me earlier?" I recall now that when I came to the hotel with him to pick up our luggage, he kept looking around, as if he was searching for something.

"Jindi is not necessarily Xiuhong." Bu Ying said, "This is just our guess, and there are too many doubts in it. If she is really Xiuhong, she is already in Guhuai Prison, why is Guyin still there?" Go to the provincial capital to find her?"

I was a little emotional, so I didn't answer him right away, but tried to calm myself down, and then said: "Perhaps, Gu Yin went to the provincial capital to find Xiuhong and sent her to Guhuai Prison, and her whereabouts disappeared after that .”

"Then he should have returned to Guhuai at least once after he left Guhuai to go to Hushan. But why did Qin Jian say that the last time he left was to go to Hushan?"

This is indeed a bit wrong, and I don't know how to answer him at the moment, but what is certain is that even if the Jindi is not Xiuhong, it must have something to do with Xiuhong.While we were talking, we had already stepped into the hotel. Before we could find the owner, someone suddenly exclaimed: "You... why are you here?"

Bu Ying and I turned our heads and saw that it was a woman sitting on the table by the window who was talking, about forty years old, and it was the Jindi we were discussing!I haven't seen her for a while, but Jindi still has a calm expression, which is not easy to make people feel bad.

As soon as we entered the shop, we had a face-to-face meeting with her. Bu Ying and I were taken aback for a moment, but fortunately, Bu Ying reacted very quickly, and immediately smiled and said, "I'm here to investigate a case, why are you here?"

"Is it the case of the murder of the owner of the winery?" Jin Di said, with a sad expression, "Then you came sooner. There are rumors in the town that the patrol horses delivering letters killed the owner, but I I don't believe it."

"Oh, why don't you believe it?" Bu Ying stared at her, "I think this kid has a murderous look on his face, and he harbors evil intentions. The owner of the villa probably killed him."

If that's the case, why would he take me around.He didn't care if people believed it or not, but Jindi didn't refute it, but sighed softly and said: "He has no grievances with the owner, why kill the owner?"

"How do you know that they have no grievances?" Bu Ying sat down opposite her, motioning for me to sit too, "Do you know the owner?"

"I know." I thought Jin Di would deny it, but she nodded and said, "It's been a few years." Then she turned to me, "When Mr. just arrived at the hotel, I heard Mr. asked the owner about the winery. It is conceivable that this is the first time for Mr. to come to the town, so how could he have an enmity with the owner of the villa?"

It turned out that she heard me asking about the winery, not the second lady.In this case, could it be that she left the letter and note behind?

I looked at her eyes full of doubts, Jindi sighed slightly at me, and said: "Sir, don't guess, the letter and the note are all left by me."

It really was her.I suddenly stood up and asked, "Then why did Second Miss say that she kept it?"

"That's the kindness of the second lady, for fear that I will be troubled." Jin Di said softly, "Sir, please sit down."

I took my seat again, suppressing the excitement in my heart. She admitted that she left the letter and the note, and frankly admitted that the second lady was defending her. It seems that she is probably Xiuhong.Unexpectedly, before we asked her about it, she said again: "More than ten years ago, I came to the winery to investigate something. Later, although the matter was not clarified, I had a conversation with the second lady and the owner of the winery. They got along well, so they stayed to teach the owner's daughter to read and write, and they stayed for a long time before leaving."

"So, you...you are the teacher of Xiuping?" I was dumbfounded, feeling that things were exceeding my expectations again.

"Mister knows Xiuping?" Jindi was also a little surprised, "Xiuping should have been married at this time, and she is not in Jiaoling Town, how could sir know her?"

I took a look at Bu Ying, and Bu Ying also had a dazed expression on her face, but she grasped the cracks in her words: "Did you come to the winery to investigate for something? What is it?"

Jindi hesitated for a moment, and said, "I'm here to ask the winery lady about the whereabouts of Xiuhong."

She also came to track down Xiuhong's whereabouts!Bu Ying and I were both stunned, and said at the same time: "What are you looking for Xiuhong for?"

Jin Di probably saw that our expressions were different, looked at us suspiciously, and said: "Xiu Hong once teamed up with a group of bandits and did something outrageous..."

I shivered again, opened my eyes wide, and looked at her in disbelief.The incident that Jin Di was investigating was actually a tragedy of the Wei family.However, what is her relationship with the Wei family, and why did she investigate this matter?

Back then, Ye'er said to Qiu Yehong and her siblings that the debt collector came, so did the debt collector refer to her?The letter I sent to Guhuai Prison was left to Ye'er by her?

Bu Ying also thought of this, and was very surprised. Seeing that I was a little confused, he asked: "The woman who went to look for Ye Er at that time, was you?"

"How do you know that I went to look for Ye'er?" Jindi was stunned for a moment, and then said again, "How do you know about Ye'er, you...you have something to do with the tragedy of the Wei family back then?"

As she spoke, she suddenly thought of something, and asked me in a trembling voice, "What's your surname, sir? Wei? Wen?"

I took a deep breath and calmed myself down, "My surname is Wei, but it was later changed to Wen. What is your relationship with the Wei family?"

Jindi seemed to be stunned for a moment, then she was overjoyed and looked at me in disbelief: "You...you are the child that Gu Yin took away from the Wei family back then!"

"You know me?"

"Not only did I know, I hugged you back then." Jin Di looked at me with joy in his eyes, "Back when Gu Yin took you to Wenling, you kept crying all the way. He was a man and never married. I don’t know how to take care of a little baby, if it wasn’t for me, I’m afraid I’d have a real headache. I only parted from him when we were approaching Wenling.”

"It turns out that when the tragedy happened 20 years ago, you were also at Wei's house!" Bu Ying and I were shocked.
