There are four guards at the moment.
They are all Qi Xiaotong's former disciples.
In terms of human relationships, they are quite close.
In addition, the Qi family has now been granted titles by the imperial court. In a sense, these people are already the first generation retainers of the Qi family.
With his family background and his current status in Qiongzhou, he can be regarded as a person walking in the upper class.
From a practical point of view, there is really no reason for their rebellion.
Unless there is an extremely huge temptation of interests, it is absolutely impossible to change hands and change hands.
In line with the basic principle of not being afraid of using the worst possible ill will to speculate on his own family members, Qi Yu adopted the method of private communication to start the inquiry.
Afterwards, by comparing their rhetoric, you may be able to see who has the problem.
This is an extremely simple comparative analysis method, and there is nothing special about it.
However, there is a special benefit to doing so.
That is, this method can get the information you want without openly offending others. It can also be regarded as a relatively benign method.
Direct questioning is too harsh. If you accidentally hit the passenger car, it will chill the hearts of loyal people.
In this case, how can I feel at ease?
Therefore, it is better to be more reserved.
The principle is that you can neither let a bad person go, nor wrongly accuse a good person.
fair and just.
Therefore, Qi Yu adopted a method similar to a heart-to-heart talk and started a private conversation with the four people stationed there.
That kind of gesture is just like a normal chat, without any sense of abruptness.
Invisibly, Qi Dalang successfully obtained the information he wanted.
The results are out.
From a sensory perspective, there are no problems with these four people. They are loyal and conscientious, and have more integrity than Cangzhu.
As for the supposed huge benefits, there is no sign of their existence.
During their stationing, they not only assisted each other but also supervised each other. It was clear who did what, and there was absolutely no gray area that could not be seen.
The final conclusion is that none of these people had the motive to commit the crime.
Unless they are colluding and working together to fabricate lies.
But, that is basically impossible!
Although the Qi family is not as good as the Tianhuang nobles in the royal family, it is still a wealthy family that is popular among the people. Even from the moral bottom line of a person's face and a tree's skin, it is impossible for them to keep it to themselves.
Let’s talk about the content of their confessions.
Generally speaking, it is very rigorous and consistent, with no obvious omissions.
According to them, no outsiders entered the Qijia courtyard all day today.
Among them, there are also old close friends like Yu Hai and Peng Wenchang.
In addition to no outsiders visiting, the surrounding security was also as usual, and there were no signs of being touched or intruded.
Looking at it this way, the possibility of outsiders sneaking in is basically ruled out.
After asking for details, Qi Yu directly dismissed them.
Then, he and Huang Fei patrolled and looked around the yard.
From the top to the roof, from the middle to the wall, and from the bottom to the ground, all are inspected in detail.
However, no abnormalities were found.
Everything in the home, including furniture and items, showed no signs of being tampered with.
It looks exactly like everyday life.
"Master Qi, please forgive Huang's incompetence. I have been investigating for a long time, but I still can't find any clues."
"Brother Huang, don't blame yourself. I'm the same, I didn't see any mystery."
The two looked at each other and shook their heads.
After struggling for so long, it is still in vain and nothing has been achieved. How can we not feel disappointed?
Disappointment is a disappointment, but we still have to face things seriously and not blame others.
No clues can be found, which can only prove that the other party acted too carefully and left no clues for reference.
If you want to break the situation, you have to use your brain more deeply.
"Master Qi, this is indeed strange. You said that there are no outsiders coming in, and there are no signs of insiders, so where did this poison come from? I can't figure it out..."
"Brother Huang, don't be anxious. If you don't understand, let's think about it slowly. I don't believe that the other party is willing to let it go."
Unable to find the right breakthrough point, Qi Yu decisively chose to retreat instead of advance.
Watching quietly in the dark may be the best way.
Although the other party's poison attempt failed, the message must be conveyed. As long as this link is blocked, you can follow the clues and find out the reason.
Qi Yu firmly believed that the other party would definitely take relevant actions.
Any action will trigger a temptation, and you are the core target of the temptation.
In other words, the other party will definitely take the initiative to spy on you.
In this case, why not wait for work?
With this mentality, Qi Yu decisively removed the hidden guards, leaving a real opportunity for the other party to take advantage of.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
After doing this, Qi Dalang brewed a pot of refreshing tea and drank it with Huang Fei.
"Sir, have you offended anyone recently?"
"Offended people? That's too much. I won't be able to count them until dawn."
"Oh no! I mean in Qiongzhou."
"you mean……"
Mingren didn't need to elaborate. Huang Fei just started, and Qi Yu understood what he wanted to express.
Qiongzhou's coastal defense is very strict, and it is not easy for outsiders to sneak in.
Therefore, Huang Fei had reason to suspect that the poisoner was a native of Qiongzhou.
"It's not that there are no local enemies, such as King Jing Xian and those who were dismissed from their official positions by me. However, these people do not have the convenience to enter my home. Therefore, they can basically be ruled out."
"In this case, I can't think of it..."
"Stop guessing. It's just a waste of time and nerves. It's better to just sit back and wait for the work."
"That's true!"
…
The night is long and I have no intention of sleeping.
In the cold wind, two grown men were drinking tea and chatting in the hall, looking completely sleepy.
In fact, the two of them were not as carefree as they seemed.
Especially Huang Fei, he is always paying attention to the goings-on around him.
Will the fish hitting the net expected by Mr. Qi really happen?
It feels unreliable.
Not to mention a human being, not even a rat stealing food appeared.
Everything is business as usual.
Soon, a fish-belly white color appeared in the east, and the morning star began to fade.
Its daybreak.
Qi Yu and Huang Fei, who had been waiting for most of the night, couldn't hide their disappointment and leaned on the big chair slumped.
Could it be that my prediction was wrong?
Qi Dalang frowned and sighed.
Just when he was about to start self-examination, he suddenly heard the door creaking and being pushed open.
Listen carefully, you can see that the door was pushed very carefully, a bit tiptoeing, as if not daring to exert force.
Who is this person?
