Chen Tianyu looked at the villagers who were silent again, and sighed secretly in his heart, although the proprietress scolded her, what she said was obviously the truth.

However, he can't let the situation get out of hand now.

"Auntie, these are all over, don't get too excited. Chen Tianyu said in a low voice.

The proprietress instantly regained her composure, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes, and said indifferently: "Child, I can be happy when I say it, it's okay, you tinker with yours, I'm not in the way." It's been so bad for so many years, they think I'm crazy. She even smiled, this sadness is not understandable to everyone.

Chen Tianyu secretly admired the old woman's ease of retraction, and also sighed at the importance of life experience.

He put the statue in his pocket and pulled a notebook from his bosom.

"Listen to me first, I took out this statue just now just to confirm whether the dumb man often haunts Li Village, and has no other meaning. Now the most important question is who the dumb man is trying to contact, but they didn't give me an answer, because no one has ever seen the mute meet with whom. Everyone will definitely take it for granted that the one who needs to avenge his mother must be Zheng Wanqiu's son Li Fuqi, and the person the dumb man wants to contact must also be Li Fuqi. ”

He paused: "This is inferred from common sense, but there are some things that are beyond common sense. Like what...... Whether Li Fuqi is the son of the fourth aunt Zheng Wanqiu or not? Now it seems that this is a big question. ”

There was a small commotion at the scene again, and many people were suspicious, but this time, no one really spoke, and they were reprimanded by the proprietress just now, and the effect was obvious.

"Actually, this matter is a bit complicated, and I believe that everyone present has no answer. But it just so happens that I have a notebook of Uncle Li Qisi, and according to my intuition, Li Fuqi should not be the son of the fourth aunt. ”

Li Yiting was also surprised: "Fourth brother, you can't be mistaken, right?"

Chen Tianyu shook his head: "I'm not sure, but I don't know if your mother knows about this? After all, Fuqi was raised by her." He looked at Li Yiting's mother expectantly.

Who knew that Li Yiting's mother did not respond, her face was solemn, and she couldn't see a special expression.

Chen Tianyu said disappointedly: "Second aunt, I know you don't want to say it, but I'll boldly speculate today that Li Fuqi should be the son of Uncle Li Qisi, right?"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was in an uproar, and no matter who reprimanded them.

Uncle Jiu's face was also full of surprise, and his eyes widened: "Young man, you have to make this matter clear, if Fuqi is a child of Qisi, then isn't this killing his father? Tiger poison does not eat children, and child poison cannot kill fathers?" He looked a little cultured, and he spoke in a crepe-like manner.

Seeing this, Li Qihuai also interjected: "This is unlikely. ”

At last, the mother spoke, "Old man, don't speculate. ...... That's right, Fuqi is indeed not the child of the fourth brother, the eldest brother has asked me to hide it for so long, and I also have a hard time. ”

Li Qihuai hurriedly said: "What about the fourth brother's child, where is it now?"

"I don't know. The mother shook her head miserably.

Li Fuqi suddenly stood up tremblingly, and spoke for the first time: "I know that the fourth uncle's child has long been dead and burned to death by fire!"

"Evil animal! Why didn't you say it earlier, deceiving the villagers like this, do you still have half of humanity? If we hadn't taken care of you like this for the sake of you having no father and no mother? You'd better come with Qi Si to fool us, what kind of tricks are you brothers playing?!" Uncle Nine seemed to be choked by the endless fierce news, coughing, and his emotions were even more excited.

Li Fuqi was quite calm: "I am very grateful to the elders for their support to me, but my father said that he must not let the fourth uncle have no queen, and he also asked me to make a poisonous oath in the ancestral hall, and I am destined to be the fourth uncle's child in this life, and no one can change his words." ...... If it weren't for the second aunt to tell the truth today, I would not have been able to reveal it even if I died, when I was six years old, I swore a poisonous oath here, God is very fair, he must want me to die here today, I have no regrets, and I don't want to defend anything. Whether it's killing someone or stealing a sword, I know I didn't do it, but I don't know who the murderer is, so I'll confess my guilt and punish the law!"

Li Fuyi blushed and said hurriedly: "Fuqi, my father is dead, and the other brothers are gone, you can't easily seek death, then our Li family can really be regarded as being wiped out!"

A bolt of lightning flashed through Li Fuqi's mind, and an image suddenly appeared in his mind, which was vague at first, but soon he realized that this was the unjust soul of the fourth uncle's son! The descendants of the fourth uncle came to take revenge, and his face was hideous-

"Brother, I can't help myself, in fact, I have now somewhat understood, who the murderer is, but I am willing to die for him, please don't pursue it anymore!" Li Fuqi knelt on the ground with a plop, "I confess my guilt, I killed everyone, and I also robbed the fish intestine sword, and I am the murderer." ”

Li Fuyi's face turned pale, and he also sat down on the ground in a gloomy manner.

"Wronged, wronged!" Uncle Nine muttered.

Chen Tianyu walked over silently, picked up Li Fuqi, and said firmly: "The law is fair, since the murderer is not you, then we must not let you take the blame." ”

Li Fuqi looked at him suspiciously, feeling inexplicable.

Chen Tianyu said calmly: "The reason why I have been nagging for so long is to repeatedly confirm the doubts in my heart, and I need a large number of witnesses to support it. Now your identity is clear, and your actions just now have already proved that Li Fuqi, the village party secretary, is not the murderer. ”

Li Yiting hurriedly walked over and said in a low voice: "Fourth brother, just based on Fuqi's attitude, you can't make hasty conclusions." ”

Chen Tianyu nodded, and he said loudly in one direction: "Yongkun, it's time to show up!"

There was a strange noise in the woods in the distance, and Wan Yongkun trotted over, although he was extremely embarrassed, his expression was very relaxed. He was holding something in his hand, and it looked rather heavy.

Chen Tianyu patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your hard work, you can tell everyone about our previous plan." ”

Wan Yongkun nodded and said in a loud voice: "Fellow villagers, this is the case, the fourth brother, that is, the officer Chen who spoke just now, has never believed that Li Fuqi will be the murderer, so we set up a bureau. This bureau is also very simple, that is, when escorting Li Fuqi into the city, quietly let him go to see if he will return to Li Village and steal the fish intestine sword. If he would, then he would be a murderer, and if not, then he would not be a murderer. ”

Everyone was stunned, not understanding what he meant, which was a bit of a contradiction.

"You may be wondering, didn't Li Fuqi come back to steal the sword? Why isn't he a murderer? Wait until I'm done......"

"I think everyone must be quite puzzled, why Li Fuqi and I were able to rush back from more than ten miles away so quickly, even faster than Qiuxi driving, it is because the fourth brother has already asked me to prepare two motorcycles, both of which are 250 displacement, and this kind of car can run faster than a car in the mountains. ”

Li Fuqi looked dazed: "The motorcycle was left by you, why do I feel strange......

"Yes, do you think you're so lucky?" Wan Yongkun paused, "After Li Fuqi returned to Li Village, he rushed to the ancestral shrine in a hurry, I thought that this guy was finally exposed, so I ambushed outside, waiting for him to steal the sword and come out, so as to cooperate with everyone to catch the murderer." ”

"Unexpectedly, I actually found another murderer in the woods!" Wan Yongkun said excitedly.

He raised the weight in his hand, tore off the disguise outside with a few clicks, and a weapon with a conical head and tail thorns and a patina appeared in everyone's eyes.

Fish intestine sword!?

How could there be another fish intestine sword?

"This sword is a fake. Wan Yongkun explained, "It was secretly hidden in a tree hole, and if I hadn't seen the murderer's back and the whole process of hiding the sword, I wouldn't have been able to find it." ”

"Everyone should understand it all by now, the murderer actually wants to steal the fish intestine sword and hide it from the world, and he has been carefully prepared, and Li Fuqi acted recklessly, he didn't have any plan at all, so he rashly stole the sword, everyone think about it, who is the real murderer?"

Many people are still at a loss.

Li Yiting hurriedly asked, "Have you seen who the murderer is?"

Wan Yongkun shook his head: "I only saw the back flashing, and then something happened here, I only had time to take out the fake fish intestine sword, and I was afraid of alarming the murderer, so I ......"

Li Qihuai said disappointedly: "So, you didn't see it clearly at all, if we make such a fuss, the murderer will definitely slip away." ”

Wan Yongkun shook his head firmly: "No, the murderer must still be at the scene." If he escaped from that grove, it would never have escaped my eyes. ”

Li Yiting nodded: "I believe this." But ......"

Chen Tianyu suddenly laughed, and he said loudly: "The murderer is standing in front of you and me at this time, what's the matter?"

Everyone was stunned, Chen Tianyu stretched out his hand and slowly pointed at a person.

"It's you, the son of the fourth uncle Li Qiuyuan!" Chen Tianyu said very calmly.

“......”

Qiu Xi was stunned, his face full of incredulity.

"Fourth brother, don't make such jokes, this is a matter of human life. Qiu Xi looked around anxiously, he didn't know what Chen Tianyu's intentions were, "I'm here to assist you in handling the case, are you mistaken?"

"Hostess, you come. Chen Tianyu was not in a hurry, "Zichen, you come over too." ”

The proprietress hesitantly walked to Chen Tianyu's side, and Liu Zichen also walked over with a torch.

"Boss, you and the fourth aunt Zheng Wanqiu should have the most contact, can you help me see, this Qiuxi and his mother Zheng Wanqiu don't look alike? ”

The proprietress looked at Liu Zichen for a while, Qiuxi for a while, and fell into memories for a while.

Uncle Nine hurriedly said, "How is it?"

The proprietress shook her head blankly: "Not quite like ...... Not quite really. ”

Uncle Jiu reminded: "Qihuai, don't be stupid, don't you look at what this young man looks like your Qiu Yuan?"

Li Qihuai didn't even look at it: "It's not like the fourth brother at all, if it does, I still can't recognize it?" Ninth uncle, you are really old and confused." Uncle Nine coughed awkwardly a few times to cover up.

Qiu Xi was stared at by everyone and felt uncomfortable, and he tried to hold his chest up as much as possible, showing that he was innocent and lying on the gun.

Hearing that the proprietress and Li Qihuai both denied it, Qiu Xi was completely relieved, and a rare smile appeared on his face.

"The boy follows his mother. Li Yiting's mother, who hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke, "You're right, he is indeed Wanqiu's child!"

It was really a thunderclap on the ground, and everyone was stopped.

Qiu Xi hurriedly said: "Don't talk nonsense......

The mother said calmly: "I didn't talk nonsense, the first time you came to my house, I felt familiar, but I never dared to think about the details. ...... In fact, before the eldest brother changed Fuqi to me, you also drank my milk, although more than 20 years have passed, but as a mother, I will never forget the look in your eyes when you laugh. ”

Qiuxi was stunned and speechless for a long time.

"This ...... This ......," Qiu Xi held back a sentence for a long time, "This is not scientific at all." ”

Chen Tianyu patted Qiuxi on the shoulder and comforted: "Of course this is not scientific, and it is necessary to pay attention to evidence to solve the case." I was just doing an experiment just now, if the son of the fourth uncle Li Qiuyuan is still alive now, no one will be able to recognize him. ”

Qiu Xi wiped the sweat on his head: "Fourth brother, you really scared me." ”

Uncle Jiu also complained: "Young man, you can't solve the case like this, you will cause death." ”

Mother was silent, she still looked very calm, Chen Tianyu glanced at her intentionally or unintentionally, and smiled secretly.

"Without further ado, now, I will talk about the evidence of the whole case......"

"First of all, I want to apologize to all the villagers and victims, it is indeed our Beiting incompetence that has allowed the murderer to succeed repeatedly, and many people have died innocently in vain, and Beiting is to blame. He bowed deeply to the crowd, "But the murderer is too cunning, and his long-term planning and seamless layout are masters we have never met." ”

He picked up the fish intestine sword brought by Wan Yongkun: "As far as this fake is concerned, whether it is shape, texture or workmanship, there is almost no difference from the real fish intestine sword, for people who are not very knowledgeable, if it doesn't take a lot of thought, maybe this fish intestine sword is real at all." ”

Seeing that everyone didn't quite understand, Chen Tianyu suddenly beckoned to Li Futang, who was inconspicuous in the crowd.

Li Futang was stunned, he hesitated for a moment before walking out slowly.

"Are you calling me?" he still didn't react.

"Yes. Chen Tianyu nodded, "I heard that you run an antique business in the city all the year round, and you also help the village resell yews, right?"

"Uh...... It used to be. Li Futang was ambiguous.

"These are the little things. Chen Tianyu smiled, "I want to ask you for help now, with your eyesight for so many years, can you see the difference between the two fish intestine swords." ”

He reached out and took the handful of ancestral antiquities in Li Yiting's hand, quickly poured his hand a few times, then held one handle in one hand, and then looked at Li Futang intently.

Li Futang was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, and he didn't know what to do.

"Can you see it?" Chen Tianyu urged.

Li Futang said with a flushed face: "Although I have done this business, I am not particularly professional, you are really embarrassed for me." ”

"Why don't you give it a try?" Chen Tianyu was unmoved.

Li Futang was helpless, he took a deep breath and began to carefully observe the two artifacts. Within a few minutes, he was already sweating and panting.

"I'm not sure, but there seems to be something wrong with the inscription on this sword. Li Futang pointed to Chen Tianyu's right hand, "In general, antiquities, especially bronzes, the inscription is often the most seriously damaged, and the handwriting on your right hand seems to be too clear." ”

Chen Tianyu threw the fish intestine sword on his right hand to the ground with a thud and gave a thumbs up.

"It's really a well-deserved master, maybe let you imitate it, I believe you can also catch it. ”

Li Futang hurriedly shook his head: "I definitely can't do this, you are too high-minded." ”

Chen Tianyu smiled weirdly: "Hehe, what I'm thinking about now is, could this sword be imitated by you Li Futang?"

Li Futang's face suddenly turned to ashes, and his sweat was like rain.
