Chapter 81: The Old Days
When Su Rong saw Qiu Qingkong, he was in good spirits, but his clothes were dirty.
Su Rongyi served the hot meal, "Brother Qiu, let's eat first." ”
Qiu Qingkong was speechless for a while, finished a bowl of rice with his head bored, wiped his mouth after eating, and said:
"Good girl, you shouldn't have come to a place like this."
Su Rongyi said: "Since you think I'm a good girl, how can I care?" She sat on the floor, and she didn't care about the filth of the cell.
"Time is pressing, tell me, what's going on?"
Qiu Qingkong was stunned, "You...... Think I'm innocent? ”
Su Rongyi said: "If you are completely innocent, I'm afraid Brother Qiu, you won't let them lock you up like this, I am sure this matter has something to do with you, but I believe that you will not deliberately kill people, so what happened back then, I want to listen to you personally." ”
Qiu Qingkong sighed, "You little girl knows me very well. ”
Qiu Qingkong began to talk about the old things of the year.
At that time, the government's instructions had not come down for a while, so they rented a small courtyard in a family surnamed Yu.
The Yu family's family of three lives with them, and the exchanges are also considered harmonious, and the Yu family's call is Yu Laosan, who is an ordinary villager with a short dundun, and the Yu family lady is gentle and obedient, and often packs up a few small dishes for them to drink.
But who knew that Xiang'an had nothing to do for a while, but one day Yu Laosan suddenly launched a madness, carrying a kitchen knife in the kitchen to fight with them, Qiu Qingkong has always liked to rush in front of his brother for something, so he went to block it immediately.
People are naturally not good at thinking in times of crisis, and Qiu Qingkong is a person who is easily impulsive, so he immediately pulled out his three-foot big steel knife and wanted to force Yu Lao San to retreat, but who knew that the other party was also red-eyed, and rushed up regardless of it.
As soon as he got together, Yu Laosan hit the knife and died under Qiu Qingkong's knife.
At that time, their leader, Zhan Ye Zhan, came back, and when he saw the situation at this time, he immediately took the opportunity to pack up his baggage and leave.
Su Rongyi felt that something was not quite right.
"Why did Yu Laosan go crazy inexplicably? Do you know why? What about the Yu family's lady? ”
Qiu Qingkong said apologetically: "We went into the courtyard where they lived that day, only to find that Yu Laosan's child had suffocated to death, and Yu Niangzi actually died in the corner......
Su Rongyi exclaimed: "How can this be?!" ”
"The child died, Yu Niangzi committed suicide again, and Yu Laosan suspected us, so he wanted to carry a knife to fight hard, and was killed by my mistake."
"How did the kid die?"
Qiu Qingkong shook his head, "I don't know." ”
Su Rongyi frowned, "Before the matter is clear, you leave, isn't it a real crime?" ”
Qiu Qingkong said guiltily: "I was also stunned that day, the boss was afraid that I would be imprisoned because of this, so they arranged the scene as a thief and a thief to kill someone." It happened that there was a bandit in the ** county that day, and no one was suspicious, and then it was not more than a month, and the nest of bandits was also cleaned up by the government in the mountains. ”
So the case was closed.
"It turns out that Brother Qiu has been a vegetarian for many years because of this family."
Qiu Qingkong nodded, "I did kill someone, I was guilty, I had long expected that there should be this retribution, now it's okay, I don't have to feel sorry for Yu Laosan, the government can judge it however it wants, I have no complaints." ”
Su Rongyi knew that although Qiu Qingkong was impulsive and irritable, he was not a person who was afraid of responsibility, and he made up his mind to abscond that day, and it must have been his good brothers who played a big role.
Su Rongyi carefully recalled every detail in Qiu Qingkong's narrative, and finally found a suspicious point.
"You said the baby was suffocated that day, did you see it?"
"The boss knows a little bit of medicine, that's what he said."
Show the boss?
I know a little medical skills, and I know that the child was suffocated to death, so why did you take it so sloppily, the child was probably covered to death, and no one else entered the yard that day.
Don't...... Did someone from Qiu Qingkong's group of brothers do it?
"That lady in the house, how is the state of death? Does Boss Zhan have an inspection? ”
Qiu Qingkong thought hard, "No, Boss Zhan didn't let us take a closer look, saying that it was disrespectful to the deceased......"
Yes, this makes sense, Boss Zhan may have discovered something, but he refused to let the brothers get involved in this matter anymore, so he stopped and pushed all the qiē on the head of the bandits.
A possibility crossed her mind......
"Brother Qiu, is the lady of the Yu family very good?"
Qiu Qingkong didn't expect her to ask this, and couldn't help laughing, "A country woman, even if she is born well, she will not marry a man like Yu Laosan, who only has two rooms and two acres of thin land. ”
He felt that it was not good to talk about the deceased, so he added: "But she has nothing to say about her, and she treats us very thoughtfully and politely." ”
That is to rule out the possibility of seeing the color, so did the murderer just go to the child?
If the child was killed by someone, and the lady of the Yu family committed suicide after resisting to no avail, only to lead Yu Laosan to provoke with a knife, and Qiu Qingkong mistakenly killed someone, then the crime of this incident can be much smaller.
But who would go out of their way to kill a child who has no grievances?
She was again mired in uncertain doubts.
"Brother Qiu, the brothers who were by your side that day, what their surnames were, you can tell them one by one."
The second monk Qiu Qingkong was confused, but he still explained it carefully, and they were all brothers who followed him all the way from the northwest to the south of the Yangtze River.
"Were there anyone else that day?"
"Bystanders...... Hey, Brother Cui is also there. Qiu Qingkong said: "Brother Cui is the boss's brother-in-law, and he is also the second shopkeeper of Rulu Goods Store, the sister-in-law is a good woman, willing to marry the boss, Brother Cui came to send us something that day, and left not long after." ”
"Was it before the third child?"
"Yes," Qiu Qingkong felt that there was nothing strange about this, "the boss just missed that stubble when he went to see him off, otherwise I know, the boss will definitely stand in front of me!" ”
It seems that Qiu Qingkong admires Boss Zhan very much.
"Sister, the government officials are not as detailed as you ask, is there something wrong?"
Su Rongyi stood up, "A little bit." The government naturally hopes to close the case quickly, not to mention such an old case, they just want your life to kill chickens and monkeys, Brother Qiu, just wronged you to stay in prison for a few more days, I will try to help you clear your name as soon as possible. ”
"Hey," Qiu Qingkong said: "One person does things and one person is responsible, and I am not wronged, you are still ......"
"No," Su Rongyi solemnly said, "There is another hidden truth in this matter, you can handle it for me, but big brother, there is only one case, you must not admit your guilt." ”
Qiu Qingkong saw her running for herself like this, and her heart was also very moved, "Okay! I, Qiu Qingtian, am also an iron-clad man! Sister, you are so worried about my cheap life, how dare I say that I will die as a big brother! ”
Su Rongyi smiled: "Then I'll be relieved." ”
