Zhang Er then asked: "Where did you and your father and mother come to today's house, and after lunch, He Zhiqi was drunk, and you sent him back to the room?" ”

Hu Tao did not hide it, and replied with his head held high: "Yes, he was drunk, and I carried him into the room." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 info "neither humble nor arrogant.

Yu Chusheng listened silently for a long time, and his head didn't stop, and then he asked Hu Tao: "After you send him back to the room, did he promise you not to take concubines again?" ”

Hu Tao was a little surprised how Yu Chusheng knew this, but still replied: "Actually, the matter of concubine was only mentioned, saying that he would not accept it if I didn't want to, so we quarreled that day and actually reconciled quickly, otherwise my father and I wouldn't have come to He's house today." When I sent him back to the room today, he did say that he would not take a concubine. Speaking of this, Hu Tao's originally sad face turned red.

Hearing this, Zhang Er asked Hu Tao directly: "You are the last person to see the deceased." ”

Hu Tao shook his body violently, and said in disbelief: "So you suspect that the murderer is me?" ”

Yu Chusheng patted Zhang Er and signaled him not to speak yet, but she understood Zhang Er very well, after all, the murderer did not leave any clues at the scene, according to Tulip and the words of the subordinates, it was easy to make people suspect Hu Tao.

But Yu Chusheng doesn't think so.

The He couple also didn't believe it, and said: "Ah Tao can't kill Zhiqi, the two of them are childhood sweethearts, and they have a marriage contract early, Zhiqi has traveled abroad in the early years, Ah Tao has been waiting for him to come back, we believe Ah Tao, she will not kill Zhiqi." ”

Hu Tao's father also said: "How could our daughter kill her own fiancé with her own hands!" Besides, the two of them will get married in a few days! "Who wants to kill someone who is about to become their husband?

Yu Chusheng also said: "Miss Walnut, I know you didn't kill anyone, but I want to ask, do you know who the deceased gave the dagger to?" "This is a very important point.

Hu Tao shook her head, indicating that she didn't know, but Yu Chusheng had a faint idea in her heart.

It is obvious that the murderer kills with passion, that is, on the spur of the moment.

Yu Chusheng thought about it for a while, and then asked: "He Zhiqi said that he wanted to take a concubine, is that candidate a tulip?" ”

Hu Tao looked at the parents of the two families, nodded in the end, and said with some surprise: "Yes." She didn't understand how Yu Chusheng guessed.

The parents of the two families were also very surprised, especially the He couple, and said: "Zhiqi never said that he likes the girl Tulip, how could he want to take her as a concubine." ”

Hu Tao's father and mother were also incredulous: "Zhiqi is wholeheartedly devoted to Ah Tao, how could he think of taking a concubine." ”

Zhang Er was also silent, but he heard Qian Yuanmo say how powerful Yu Chusheng was, so he asked Yu Chusheng: "...... murderer?"

Yu Chusheng said, "Call Tulip over, I have to ask her something." "That girl didn't tell the truth.

It didn't take long for the official to call Tulip over, her eyes were even more red and swollen than just now, and as soon as she entered the room, she grabbed Hu Tao's sleeve and said, "Sister Hu Tao, did you kill Brother Zhiqi...... At noon today, I saw with my own eyes that you sent him back to his room. ”

Hu Tao was obviously a little annoyed, and his eyes were also red, but he still said patiently: "Tulip, what do you say?" How could I possibly ......"

Before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Tulip crying, and she said while crying: "I know that Brother Zhiqi wants to accept me as a concubine, but you can't, and you can't do this." ”

The He couple had already come over to stop Tulip and said, "Tulip, don't do this, your sister Hu Tao will not be able to kill Zhiqi." ”

Yu Chusheng saw this situation, still calm, and asked Tulip slowly: "Tulip, the dagger that the deceased gave you...... Where is it? She deliberately stretched the word dagger very long, just to see how Tulip reacted.

Hu Tao said, He Zhiqi gave the dagger to someone, how can anyone give the dagger as a gift?

So Yu Chusheng thought of Tulip, she was an orphan girl taken in by He Zhiqi when he was traveling, and He Zhiqi paid for the burial of Tulip's father, so he should not be ready to take Tulip, but gave her the dagger he brought with him for her self-defense.

Hearing the dagger, Tulip's body stiffened for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Dagger?" What dagger? Why did Brother Zhiqi give me a dagger? Because she had been crying for a long time, she still had a nasal voice when she spoke, and Yu Chusheng quietly observed her expression.

At this moment, Meng Hua came over in a hurry, and said as he walked this way: "Fish girl, Zhang Er, I found this on the deceased!" ”

Yu Chusheng and Zhang Er both looked at Meng Hua and saw that he was holding a purse in his hand.

Tulip was the first to react, looked at the purse, and then pointed and said, "Sister Hu Tao, isn't that your purse?" ”

Meng Hua handed the purse to Yu Chusheng, which was also stained with blood, and then said: "The purse was found under the armpit of the deceased, because this purse has a small silver ring, so it hangs the deceased's clothes. ”

Everyone looked at Hu Tao, and even the He couple looked at her in disbelief and said, "Ah Tao, you ......"

Hu Tao immediately explained: "Auntie, how could I kill Zhiqi, I sent Zhiqi back to the room today, but I will leave when I send him back." As she spoke, she touched her waist, her expression was suffocated, and then she said, "I don't know when my purse fell......"

And Tulip's expression was a little dull, just looking at Hu Tao with some hatred, tears still flowing.

Meng Hua said on the side: "Fish girl, after further examination, the deceased did not have any other injuries, and the dagger was aimed at the heart, killing him with one sword. ”

Yu Chusheng nodded, first glanced at Hu Tao, she hung her head slightly, her body trembled slightly, but her eyes were wide open, full of tears, full of grief.

Yu Chusheng set his eyes on Tulip again, and saw that her face was also full of tears, her eyes were cold and terrible, and there was a bit of hatred in it.

Yu Chusheng sorted out all the clues and all the confessions of several people in her mind, and suddenly it became much clearer, she took two steps forward, stretched out a hand to grab Tulip's arm, looked at her fixedly, and asked, "Tulip, do you have any admiration...... What is the revelation? ”

Tulip raised her head violently, shook her head and said, "No, no, Brother Zhiqi has always treated me as a sister, no ......"

Yu Chusheng grabbed her wrist and lifted her sleeve, and saw a little scar on it, which should have been cut by a sharp object.

Yu Chusheng hooked his lips and smiled, "How did this scar come from?" Self-harm? Or threaten you with the Ringgo and make you a concubine? ”

Both parents were a little incredulous, looking at Tulip inquiringly, Tulip's body also stiffened suddenly, and hurriedly let go of her sleeve and said, "No, no, I accidentally injured it." ”

Yu Chusheng looked at Zhang Er, saw that he was still a little confused, and said to him, "Go and search Tulip's room." ”
