Chapter 193: Serial Murders
The reason why Wang Xing'er was able to survive was because she had already moved out of the Wang family. And the person who took Wang Xing'er out of the Wang family and set up another house for resettlement was Gu Lei'er.
And since Wang Xing'er followed Gu Lei'er, although she occasionally went back to Wang's house to hang out, she didn't stay overnight at Wang's house. After all, the Wang family is a family in the courtyard, but Wang Xinger can be regarded as a good person.
"When did this begin?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
"Let's go to Fucheng to participate in the township test, after Gu Lei'er is healed from the injury of the board." Master Ji San said that he had investigated this matter very clearly.
"Uncle is willing to spend money to buy Gu Lei'er a house? Can Gu Leier come up with this money herself? Ji Xiaotang couldn't help but sneer.
The purchase of the house requires a sum of money, and taking Wang Xinger out of the Wang family also requires a lot of silver taels. Uncle Gu would never spend this money, and even if Gu Lei'er had a private house, he would never have so much.
"This is the benefit that Gu Leier got by killing the peony?" Ji Xiaotang thought of this almost immediately, because it couldn't be more obvious.
"Gu Lei'er, this kid." Of course, Master Ji San also thought of this, so he clenched his hands and gritted his teeth. Although he beat Gu Lei'er last time, Master Ji San did not relieve his hatred, and he had long thought about teaching Gu Lei'er a good lesson.
"Uncle, you must have checked the mansion, who gave the silver taels?" Ji Xiaotang asked Master Ji San. As for who took Wang Xing'er out, the Wang family has no money, so there is no way to verify.
"Checked." Listen to Ji Xiaotang ask. Master Ji San was a little frustrated. "The one who sent the silver to buy the mansion was the turtle prince of the Wang family, who said that he was the owner of Wang Xing'er. That is, Gu Leier's money. That house also fell under Gu Lei'er's name. β
"That's it, Uncle don't be depressed. The other party is cunning and cunning, and we shouldn't expect to leave us with such a superficial flaw. Ji Xiaotang said.
"Second brother, Xiaotang, what should I do now?" Master Ji San asked.
"Pry open the mouths of Wang Xing'er and Gu Lei'er." Ji Er said.
Ji Xiaotang nodded in agreement.
"The Wang family died so many people at once, and Wang Xing'er would be touched no matter what. Taking advantage of this, it is possible to pry Wang Xing'er's mouth open. β
As for how much Wang Xinger knows. Ji Xiaotang didn't expect much.
The fact that the other party was able to leave Wang Xing'er's life shows that she doesn't know much.
As for Gu Lei'er, it is even more impossible for the other party to let him know anything.
"Uncle bring more people. This matter, don't alarm outsiders. Ji Xiaotang instructed Master Ji San.
Master Ji San nodded, and then took Master Li and other henchmen to arrest Gu Lei'er and Wang Xing'er.
Master Ji San was in a hurry, and when he came back, it was just time to hold the lamp.
"There's a clue." Master Ji San was excited.
"What's the clue?" Ji Xiaotang asked hurriedly. On the other hand, he ordered someone to serve hot tea to Master Ji San.
Master Ji San has been interrogating Wang Xing'er and Gu Lei'er all day. He didn't care about eating and drinking at all, and it wasn't until the hot tea was delivered that Master Ji San noticed that he had a dry mouth.
Master Ji San drank three cups of hot tea in a row and sighed lightly.
"Third brother, do you want to eat something first?" Second Master Ji said on the side.
Master Ji San waved his hand in a hurry, saying that he was not in a hurry, he was in a hurry to tell Second Master Ji and Ji Xiaotang the clues he asked from Wang Xing'er.
It was not easy to ask Wang Xing'er and Gu Lei'er. Gu Leier said he didn't know anything. And Wang Xing'er was obviously frightened. Master Ji San tried his best, and finally got something useful from Wang Xing'er's mouth.
Wang Xing'er sued the third master. She really didn't know anything about He Ming's murder and the fire in Rouge Alley. However, she also told Master SΓΉ Ji San that she identified the bodies of the Wang family and found that Wang Jiao'er might not be Wang Jiao'er.
The one who pretended to be Wang Jiaoer's corpse was not the real Wang Jiaoer. So what about the real Wang Jiaoer?
This is in line with Ji Xiaotang's judgment, Wang Jiaoer is very likely to be alive, but she was hidden by the murderer behind the scenes.
"Can Wang Xing'er tell others about her suspicions?" Ji Xiaotang asked.
She said no, she was forced to ask me in a hurry. In my opinion, this incident is also a heart problem of hers, so she said it. Master Ji San said.
"Not good!" Ji Xiaotang stood up suddenly, "Uncle, hurry up and bring someone to bring Wang Xing'er and Gu Lei'er to our house." If you go late, I'm afraid that these two people's lives will not be guaranteed! β
"Xiaotang is right." Second Master Ji also immediately understood.
Wang Xing'er can see the flaws in Wang Jiao'er's body, so Wang Jiao'er should also be able to think of this at this time. If she happens to sue the murderer behind the scenes, the murderer will immediately try to make amends. He had already killed so many people, so naturally he wouldn't care about killing two more.
Wang Xing'er and Gu Lei'er are very dangerous.
"Okay, I'll go." Master Ji San put down the teacup he had just picked up and immediately took people out.
Master Ji San went out this time and came back faster.
There is no need for Master Ji San to speak, just look at the angry and frustrated expression on Master Ji San's face, Ji Xiaotang understands.
"Uncle ......"
"I'm late." Master Ji San sat down in the chair and wiped it on his face with his hand.
It's not that Master Ji San hasn't seen dead people, and it's not that he hasn't seen bloody scenes. This time, however, things were a little different.
He had just finished talking to Gu Lei'er and Wang Xing'er, and not long after he left the two of them, at that time, these two people were still alive. And Gu Lei'er, no matter how bad he is, how much Master Ji San wants to teach him a lesson, he is not a stranger.
"Gu Lei'er...... He's also there? Second Master Ji frowned and asked.
Master Ji San nodded wordlessly.
Whether it is Wang Jiaoer or Wang Xing'er, they can play Gu Leier between applause. Regarding the matter of Rouge Lane, Gu Leier really didn't know anything. However, when the murderer killed Wang Xing'er, Gu Lei'er was also there.
Just caught another clue in my hand. And so it was broken.
β¦β¦
The case of Gu Leier and Wang Xing'er naturally went through the county government, and was finally characterized as theft and murder. Except for Gu Leier and Wang Xing'er. There was also a little girl who served Wang Xing'er in the outer house. And Gu Lei'er and Wang Xing'er's house, all the soft things in the house were looted.
Xie Zhi County posted a red list and released a reward, and Qingyuan County had another unsolved case.
β¦β¦
Gu Lei'er is dead, and this news can't be hidden from Mrs. Ji after all. The second master Ji and the third master didn't dare to talk to Mrs. Ji about this matter, it was Uncle Gu and the Jiang family who took Gu Xue'er to the door crying, and told Mrs. Ji that Gu Lei'er was killed.
Hearing that Gu Lei'er was dead, Mrs. Ji didn't believe it at first, and then understood that it was true. I almost fainted.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family both cried to death. Both of them are not young anymore, only Gu Lei'er is a son.
"I can't live, this is cutting my flesh alive! my Lei'er. Jiang sat on his knees and cried.
Uncle Gu was still sitting on the chair. But it's just as painful.
"O my son, O my son. The Gu family is dead, eldest sister, the Gu family is dead. β
The Gu family said this sentence. It hit Mrs. Ji's sore spot. She took care of and maintained Uncle Gu's family in every possible way. In addition to the deep love between sister and brother, it is because of the fact that Uncle Gu's family is the only bloodline of the Gu family.
Second Master Ji could only open his mouth to persuade on the side.
"Uncle's Day mourning,...... The old lady is an old man. β
Uncle Gu nodded, but he didn't care about this at all. The sister and brother talked for a while, and almost hugged their heads and cried. Gu Lei'er's death made Mrs. Ji's dissatisfaction with Uncle Gu's family disappear, not only that, but Mrs. Ji also felt more and more sorry for his brother.
As for the details of Gu Leier's murder......
ββ¦β¦ How old he was. actually bought a foreign house, and it was also a family in the courtyard! Where can this not cause trouble. Lei'er was dragged to death by that vixen. It is said that it is for the wealth, but it may not be that someone is jealous! Mrs. Ji said.
Speaking of Gu Lei'er's purchase of a foreign house, Mrs. Ji complained a little about Uncle Gu and the Jiang family.
"The days are not short, and you two don't know anything about it? Where did he get the money? β
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family could only support each other, and they couldn't say why, and then they simply cried again. Mrs. Ji's heart was also messed up, and she couldn't bear it and didn't have the energy to interrogate this matter again.
After all, Gu Lei'er is already dead.
"Eldest sister, you can't ignore this matter." Uncle Gu cried for a long time, and then said again.
"You're going to have a funeral, and I've got the money here." Mrs. Ji said, thinking that Uncle Gu was here to ask her for silver.
"I have all the money." Uncle Gu rarely refused, "The existing eldest sister, my in-laws' nephews are all officials, I can't let Lei'er die in vain like this......"
Uncle Gu begged Mrs. Ji, in fact, he wanted Second Master Ji to urge the county government to find the murderer of Gu Leier as soon as possible.
Second Master Ji did not shirk this matter, and without waiting for Old Lady Ji to speak, he accepted it.
"It's natural, I've sent a post to the county office. In the past two days, I will personally go to the county government office and have a good talk with Master Xie. Second Master Ji said.
"Okay, okay." Old Madam Ji nodded with satisfaction.
Uncle Gu and the Jiang family also had nothing else to say.
"Eldest sister, there is only one thing. Xue'er is still young, and her family is shallow and narrow, so she is very inconvenient, so she begs her eldest sister to let her live next to her eldest sister for a few days. Uncle Gu said to Mrs. Ji again.
Mrs. Ji didn't like Gu Xue'er very much, but when Uncle Gu asked at this time, she couldn't refuse, so she nodded.
"Let Xue'er accompany Xiaoyun."
Ji Xiaotang was next to him, and when he heard this, he glanced at Gu Xue'er from the corner of his eye, snorted softly, and turned his face away and didn't look at Gu Xue'er at all.
Gu Xue'er lowered her head, unable to see what expression was on her face.
When Uncle Gu and the Jiang family left, Mrs. Ji sent Gu Xue'er and Ji Xiaoyun to rest, but left the second master Ji, the third master and Ji Xiaotang behind.
ββ¦β¦ I'm just such a brother, he's your uncle. He's not young anymore, and suddenly his big son is gone, ...... don't look at anything else, just look at me, don't mention the past. β¦β¦ Rayle is gone. β
Old Mrs. Ji said this, what else could the second master Ji and the third master Ji say, they could only bow down and nod in response.
Mrs. Ji asked Second Master Ji and Third Master Ji to take care of Uncle Gu more, and sent someone to help Uncle Gu handle Gu Leier's funeral.
The ancestral grave of the Gu family was still in its hometown, and Uncle Gu couldn't send Gu Lei'er's coffin back for a while, so he deposited Gu Lei'er's coffin in the Liuxian Temple outside Qingyuan County.
The Lord of the Immortal Guan and Jiang Qingshan are good friends, so they naturally got married to Uncle Gu.
Gu Lei'er's funeral, everyone in the Jiang family also came. When the spirit returned, all the female relatives went to Ji's house and sat in Mrs. Ji's house.
Ji Xiaotang saw Gu Xia'er and Jiang Qiao'er.
The two sisters-in-law have obvious changes, Jiang Qiao'er is already thin, but now she is even thinner, almost only a handful of bones remain, and her chin is pointed, like an awl that can pierce rice paper.
But Gu Xia'er is a little richer, perhaps because she hasn't been walking around indoors for a long time, and her whole person is even fairer.
The two sisters-in-law stand together, and the contrast is even more stark.
The two were arranged by Ji Xiaotang to sit together, although they were smiling on the surface, they never said a word to each other from beginning to end. Gu Xia'er didn't go to see Jiang Qiao'er, and Jiang Qiao'er also avoided looking at Gu Xia'er. However, Jiang Qiao'er's gaze occasionally swept over Gu Xia'er. The gaze was cold and cold, without a trace of temperature.
There was disdain in Jiang Qiao'er's eyes, and more hatred.
Ji Xiaotang watched coldly, and he already had a judgment in his heart. After everyone sat for a while, Ji Xiaotang found an excuse and led Gu Xia'er to sit in a side room.
"Grandma Jiang's body is in good shape." Ji Xiaotang looked at Gu Xia'er and said.
"I'll keep my body to serve the three girls." Gu Xia'er is very docile.
Ji Xiaotang nodded, and did not continue to say more on this topic.
"Your brother's business, Grandma Jiang's day mourning."
Speaking of Gu Lei'er, there were tears in the corners of Gu Xia'er's eyes. Gu Xia'er obviously cried a lot, and her eyes were slightly swollen. Gu Lei'er is her compatriot after all.
"Your brother was killed by someone, and he was implicated by Wang Xing'er." Ji Xiaotang picked up what he could say, and told Gu Xia'er about the water in Rouge Lane.
Gu Xia'er's face turned pale when she heard this, and her hands trembled.
"Wang Jiaoer and Jiang Qingshan have a good relationship, and Jiang Qingshan is the other master of the Wang family. Who bought Wang Xing'er for your brother? Who was so generous and gave your brother a house? β
"Or, your brother is not implicated by Wang Xing'er, that person wants to kill Wang Xing'er, and at the same time kill your brother. Doesn't your brother know something that others don't know!"
Ji Xiaotang said slowly, looking at the change on Gu Xia'er's face.
Gu Xia'er At this moment, she should have a draft for who harmed Gu Lei'er.
This is exactly what Ji Xiaotang wants. (To be continued......)
