However, what neither of them noticed was that behind the screen, a figure quietly left.
Here is the private room of Hualou.
…
And they are in this luxurious occasion, when they are wanton and unrestrained.
Lord Di Yingdi, whom they mentioned, was sitting in the patio of the backyard of Qiu Zhichen's shop, questioning his enemies one by one.
Why did you come to your enemy's house again? Do you also suspect that Qiu Zhichen killed She Xiaoyu?
no.
Di Ying came here this time because of the case of Qiao Xiuyuan being pushed into the river and drowned.
How could he be involved with his enemy?
It was also because of the portrait of the murderer described by the aunt by the river who wanted to secretly pour night fragrance into the river early in the morning when no one noticed.
Initially, Di Ying thought of Qiu Zhichen from this portrait.
Because the person in the portrait looks somewhat similar to Qiu Zhichen, whether from the side or the front.
Moreover, after the aunt took a peek at Qiu Zhichen under Di Ying's arrangement, although she didn't nod, she didn't shake her head either.
I would say that they were somewhat similar, but that they seemed to be a little shorter than the murderer and a little thinner than the murderer.
In other words: the murderer is somewhat similar to Qiu Zhichen, but is stronger and taller.
Di Ying went straight to his enemy's house.
Everyone in the enemy family didn't know anything about it.
When asked about the time before and after Qiao Xiuyuan's death, they were able to prove each other's alibi.
At midnight, most people were not awake yet, but small noodle shops like Qiujia were open for business.
The family was also very busy at that time.
The people who were responsible for going out to buy were Qiu Zhichen's eldest brother and sister-in-law, namely Qiu Zhihai and Xu.
The vegetable market is to the north of Jingyifang, not too far from Qiujia Noodle House. Go through a main street and two alleys and you'll be there.
Di Ying smiled as she listened to their various denials and testimonies to each other.
The patio was not big. Di Ying sat in the center of the patio, looked at the sunlight above his head and in the sky in all directions, and then smiled at his enemies.
The Qiu family members laughed so hard that they felt chills running down their backs for no apparent reason.
I heard Master Di say: "Early in the morning, if you want to do business as a morning person, you will also get up early and take care of the things at hand.
Day after day, year after year, I got used to the things to do and the people around me.
Wouldn't it be surprising if I said: Some of you didn't actually see each other?
Don't rush to explain, continue to listen to what I have to say.
On the night of She Xiaoyu's accident, I traced the route she took.
In addition to the two shoes she took off and her footprints, she also found traces of Qiu Zhichen slipping on a puddle of unknown liquid in his hurry.
At the same time, another footprint was also discovered.
No, not one, but half of one.
The half of the footprints also stepped on the unknown liquid.
But not much.
Because what he stepped on was what Qiu Zhichen slipped out and remained on the ground. "
As Di Ying spoke, his eyes slid over the faces of his enemies who were either confused, thoughtful, or panicked.
Then he looked at the well in the corner of the courtyard.
He continued: "There is a wooden bridge near the place where Qiao Xiuyuan died. Before Qiao Xiuyuan died, she passed that wooden bridge and then turned right into Jingmenfang.
On that wooden bridge, I found half a footprint.
It's still half a wooden bridge, because people pass by and clean the wooden bridge every day, and there is no dust on it, so it is difficult for people passing by to leave footprints.
As for that half, it was because it stepped on something and left a small pool of dark green liquid traces.
Are you confused? Don't worry, keep listening. "
Di Ying stood up and looked straight at Qiu Zhihai.
Then he said: "You once said that your parents are very fond of your little brother Qiu Zhichen. But Qiu Zhichen only knows how to stay lazy, sleep, or have fun every day. Not only does he not care about things in the shop, , and add to the chaos.
Qiu Zhihai, in your heart, you actually hate Qiu Zhichen, right?
What's more, the business of this shop is getting bigger and bigger, and the population of your family is also increasing. Expanding the shop has become an inevitable thing.
With the expansion, it will only get better and better in the future.
And you... don't want to have such a glorious future with your brother who does nothing but can get riches at your fingertips, right?
Tell me, since when did you want to get rid of him? "
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the enemy family was stunned.
They looked at Qiu Zhihai blankly, unable to believe what they heard.
Qiu Zhihai also had a shocked expression on his face.
After two breaths of surprise, he immediately shook his head and denied it: "I didn't want to kill my brother. Sir, please don't wrong the common people. The common people have never thought that way. He is my younger brother, my biological brother.
How could ordinary people do something so inhumane and inferior to animals? "
But Qiu Zhichen curled his lips.
As if he had had a premonition about this, he chirped and said to Qiu Zhihai: "Brother, if you really want to talk about it...
It seems that you have wanted to kill me since I was five years old, right?
I remember that time I was playing by the river, and suddenly some hands stretched out and pushed me hard into the river.
I splashed in the water.
Fortunately, the water was not deep enough. Not only did I not drown, but I also learned to swim.
But I couldn't see clearly what the person who pushed me looked like.
However, the fluttering hem of his robe when he left made me realize... that person might be you.
But I couldn't believe it at all.
I was just thinking: Maybe you just happened to pass by and didn't see me. "
Qiu Zhichen said, with a bit of ridicule and sadness on his face.
After exhaling a breath, he continued: "When I was six years old, you encouraged me to climb a tree. You kept praising me and encouraging me. The higher I climbed, the more delicious food you would buy for me. thing.
I foolishly climbed and climbed until I almost reached the top of the tree, until I felt that the branches under my feet were too thin and I was about to fall.
do you remember? I shouted desperately: I want to come down, I am going to fall.
But you are still encouraging me with delicious food to keep me climbing.
How stupid I must be, to only listen to your words and accept your temptation, and forget that I am already in great danger.
I gritted my teeth and continued climbing.
As a result, it fell down naturally.
I'll still fall down according to you.
But you hid.
Fortunately, She Xiaoyu's father passed by and caught me.
Fortunately, he kneaded dough every day and had strong arms.
Fortunately, I am small and the climbing position only looks very high to me, but it is actually only a little over three meters.
I didn't crush anyone, I'm very happy.
From then on, Xiaoyu and I became friends.
Brother, my life is big enough, right?
Afterwards I asked you why you were hiding. You were obviously four years older than me and you could catch me, but you hid.
You said you didn't hide. You said that you happened to hear the voice that seemed to be mother calling us, and your feet moved.
I believed it. Haha, I believe it. "
