Chapter 25 Fingerprint Confession
"If you want to go out and fight, don't smash the things in my house." Li Chu hurriedly spoke.
Hearing this, the two old men twitched, they have no conscience, shouldn't they be persuaded at this time? Then they pulled each other into the yard and started fighting.
Seeing that neither of the two old men could get used to seeing each other's appearance, Li Chu was quite curious about their grievances and hatreds, and he couldn't wait to know about them.
"Are they okay like this?" Li Chu was still a little worried, after all, he was an old bone.
"The two of them are equally skilled, and neither of them can win against the other." If Baili Hao does not use drug assistance.
Yun Mo was right, the two old men fought and tossed around, but they couldn't help each other, and finally scolded and went back to wash and sleep.
Yun Mo's subordinates were very efficient, and news came the next day, because the two old men were not a secret back then, and many people knew about it.
It is said that Baili Hao was also a beautiful man when he was young, and he and Li Tiance were still good friends, but one day they found that they liked each other with the same girl, so they began to look down on each other in various ways, stumbling on each other, and sabotaging each other's meeting with that girl. It's just that I didn't expect that the two of them fought back and forth, but in the end, the girl chose to marry someone else. Both of them were sad for a while, and they became enemies. The disheartened Baili Hao left Pingyang City, and the two never saw each other again until this chance meeting.
After listening to this, Li Chu sighed, he didn't expect that there was such a paragraph between them, it turned out to be rivals in love, no wonder they couldn't get used to each other. It's just that the two of them look hostile to each other on the surface and want to beat each other out of anger, but they won't put each other to death. I think there should still be a friendship, after all, they used to be good friends.
There was a fight yesterday, and today the two old men got together again, of course, not to get together to catch up, but to show off their current lives to each other.
Li Tiance shows off that his children and grandchildren are full of happiness and happiness; Baili Hao shows off that he is free and unrestrained. Li Tiance shows off the filial piety of his children and grandchildren, and Baili Hao shows off his apprentices......
Looking at the two old men who kept bickering, Li Chu was speechless, it was really naΓ―ve!
However, when Li Tiance began to show off that he had a bottle of Qiongzhi nectar, Baili Hao was very disdainful, he had brewed it himself. Then he remembered what he had come here for, and ah! His nectar of the branches! I actually forgot about it! Damn stinky boy!
Before he had time to settle accounts with his apprentice, Li Tiance took out Qiongzhi nectar and dangled it in front of him, "This is my future grandson-in-law who honors me." After speaking, he glanced at Baili Hao proudly.
Looking at this familiar wine bottle, Baili Hao almost spurted out a mouthful of blood, "What, was it given to you by that kid from Yun Mo?" "Before, he thought it was Xia Ziheng, Yun Mo didn't like to drink.
This stinky boy, it's not good to give it to anyone, but it was given to this dead old man. I'm so angry, I can't bear it.
"I brewed it myself, you give it back to me!" Baili Hao stretched out his hand to grab it.
Li Tiance hid with the wine bottle and looked at him disapprehantly, "So what, it's mine now." β
"You...... I'm! β
Baili Hao was so angry that he stomped his feet and grabbed it, but he was afraid that he would accidentally drop the wine. Let's be reasonable, Old Man Li will definitely not return it to himself.
Let's find a chance to steal it back, Baili Hao is very aggrieved. It's your own thing, but you still have to sneak it back?
However, Baili Hao's abacus was about to fail, because Li Tiance obviously knew him, and after he went back, he drank the Qiongzhi nectar, and there was not a drop left.
Sure enough, that night, Baili Hao sneaked into Li Tiance's room. And Li Tiance was very asleep at this time because he drank too much, and he didn't notice his arrival at all.
Bai Li Hao rummaged around the house and found the bottle of wine in the cabinet, but the moment he picked it up, he felt that it was not good, it was too light. Baili Hao slapped the lid open, and sure enough, it was empty, and when he turned the wine bottle upside down, there was not a drop of wine!
"Damn old man Li! You get up for me! Baili Hao lifted Li Tiance's quilt, Li Tiance turned over and smashed his mouth, "It's delicious!" One more drink! β
Looking at Li Tiance's obvious appearance of drinking too much, Baili Hao was about to explode, but there was no way to take a drunk, so he could only drop a sentence viciously, "Hmph!" I'll settle accounts with you tomorrow! β
Baili Hao turned around and went to his apprentice to settle accounts, and he actually dared to take all his treasures away.
However, before he could get close to the apprentice's room, he was stopped by Meng Yi, and what was even more infuriating was that he couldn't even beat Meng Yi, so he could only turn around angrily and return to his room.
On the second day, before Baili Hao could continue to settle accounts with them, something big happened in Loei.
Early in the morning, the maid who served Li Jinshu found that the young lady was not in the room, so she sent someone to look for it, tossed it for a while, and finally found it in an abandoned house in the back garden, but Li Jinshu was already dead of anger.
This kind of thing happened in the house, and naturally even Old Man Li was alarmed. Although he is usually not close to Li Jinshu, he is also his granddaughter. Someone actually killed his granddaughter in the mansion, and Old Man Li immediately ordered a thorough investigation in the mansion to find out the murderer.
Second Master Li and Second Lady learned that their daughter had been killed, so they hurried over and saw their daughter lying on the ground, and there was still a pool of blood on the ground, and they almost fainted. Mrs. Li kept crying and shouting that she must find the murderer and pay for her daughter's life.
The people of the master of Loei gathered in the back garden, and the female doctor was invited to check Li Jinshu's body in the house.
The female doctor found a note on Li Jinshu's body, and handed it to Li Ming, who took it and saw that it was written that Li Jinshu met here last night, and the payment was Li Chu.
Li Ming was shocked and handed the note to his father, and when Old Man Li looked at it, his eyes widened, "I believe that Chu'er will not do such a thing, let someone invite her over first." β
Li Ming was about to send someone to invite Li Chu, when he saw Li Chu and Yun Mo coming over.
Li Chu received the news early in the morning, but at this time, seeing his grandfather and uncle looking at him with a complicated face, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, it seems that this matter has something to do with him?
"Chu'er came just in time, look at this." Li Tiance handed the note to Li Chu.
Li Chu took out a silk handkerchief and took the note, looked at it, and understood, and the handwriting on the note looked the same as what he had written.
Is this someone trying to frame themselves? Li Chu's face was impassive and walked to Li Jinshu's side.
When Second Mrs. Li saw Li Chu coming, she rushed towards her, "You murderer, I want you to pay for Shu'er's life!" β
Wan Qiyu stopped her, and Yun Mo glanced at her coldly, as if he was looking at a dead person.
At this time, all kinds of eyes looked at Li Chu, some gloating, some regretful, and some afraid......
Li Chu sighed, who did he provoke, such a cauldron fell.
"Grandpa, since this matter is related to me, I will find out the murderer and prove my innocence." How dare you frame her? Li Chu admired the courage of the murderer.
"The murderer is you, it's you who wrote a note asking her to come here and kill her." Although she was held back by her husband, Second Mrs. Li was still shouting.
A sister close to Li Jinshu came out to identify, "The fourth sister accidentally pushed you into the lake a few days ago, presumably you killed the fourth sister because you held a grudge." β
Someone came out, and another young lady said, "The fourth cousin was grounded because of that incident, I went to see her, she said she would not let you go, she didn't push you." β
Li Chu glanced at the young lady who was talking, and found that he didn't know them, and he didn't pay attention to them. Li Chu walked over and squatted next to Li Jinshu, carefully examined her wounds, and found that there were obvious wounds on the back of her head and pinching marks on her neck. "The deceased should have been knocked unconscious from behind and strangled to death."
Yun Mo stood beside Li Chu with a protective posture and looked at everyone in Li Mansion coldly.
Li Chu stood up and looked around, "The murderer forged my handwriting and wrote a letter to ask Miss Si to come here, obviously to frame me. β
It's just that, except for Li Jinshu, I don't seem to have any holidays with these people.
Everyone looked at her suspiciously, clearly not believing what she said.
"I believe that Miss Li would never do such a thing, I am afraid that there is something else wrong with this matter." Song Hanshi stood up to speak for Li Chu.
Li Chu glanced at him and smiled at him.
Someone questioned, "So how do you prove that you didn't write the note?" β
"If Ali says no, it's not, so why prove it." Yun Mo said coldly.
Li Chu pulled his sleeve, although he was indeed not a murderer, it was too arrogant to say this, and immediately signaled him to be restless.
"When I wrote poems that day, everyone left poems, and as long as you are good at imitating them, this is easy to do." Li Chu observed everyone's expressions, "As for why me, it's probably because the murderer is jealous of me." β
In addition, she couldn't think of any other reason, after all, she had a conflict with Li Jinshu.
Everyone was speechless, is this boasting about themselves in disguise?
Li Tiance is also pumping, it's such a time, is she still in the mood to joke?
Li Chu continued, "It's actually very simple to find the murderer......
Seeing Li Chu's confident appearance, everyone couldn't help but be shaken, could it be that the murderer was really not her?
"The murderer choked the neck of the deceased, look at this mark, the finger mark is slender, it should be a woman's hand." Li Chu glanced at the ladies of Loei.
Second Mrs. Li still didn't give up, "Women's hands, aren't you talking about it?" β
"Don't worry, this lady, I'm not done yet." Li Chu didn't recognize her, "I said just now that it's easy to find the murderer. The murderer left fingerprints, and as long as the fingerprints are compared, the real murderer can be found. β
"Fingerprints?" Everyone didn't understand and began to whisper.
"It's the fingerprints, everyone's fingerprints are different, and there are fingerprints of the murderer on the note and on the neck of the fourth lady."
Although it is not visible to the naked eye, she has a way to make her fingerprints show it.
Even if it's a clean hand, everyone has grease, mineral oil, and sweat on their fingers, so there are marks on the slip of paper that are just invisible to the human eye.
Li Chu took out the silk handkerchief wrapped in the note and raised it towards the people present, "The note has the murderer's fingerprints. β
However, in addition to the murderer's fingerprints and Li Jinshu's own, I didn't know who else had come into contact with this note before I came.
Everyone looked at each other and began to discuss, is this method she said really feasible? I've never heard of it before.
Li Chu whispered a few words in Yun Mo's ear, and after Yun Mo heard it, he ordered Wan Qiyu to prepare something.
"Who else took this note just now?"
Li Tiance spoke, "It's just me and your uncle." β
That's easy to do.
Wan Qianyu's speed was very fast, and the things that Li Chu wanted were quickly taken.
Li Chu carefully put down the note, in fact, she was not very sure, after all, the note passed through the hands of several people, I don't know if it has damaged the fingerprints, but just now she has been observing everyone's reactions, and she has already chosen someone in her heart.
Everyone was curious to see how she did it, and of course, some people were scared at the moment.
I saw Li Chu gently sprinkle toner on the note, shaking it evenly, and only stopped when he saw the black fingerprints slowly taking shape. Turning to Li Tiance, he said, "Grandpa, you ask all the ladies in the house to print their fingerprints on the white paper, and after comparison, you can know who the murderer is." β
Li Chu glanced meaningfully between the young ladies, and sure enough, someone froze.
Li Tiance hurriedly instructed his subordinates to do it, and soon asked all the female dependents to take turns to press their fingerprints. Li Chu was holding a note on the side to compare, but more to observe everyone's reaction.
Many people were very curious, looking at Li Chu with a serious face and comparison, so that the murderer could really be found?
Soon there were only a few people left, Bai Xuan stood at the end, and when she arrived, Li Chu glanced at her with a smile. Bai Xuan's heart was uneasy, and her body stiffened for a moment, but she still slowly pressed her fingerprints.
Finally, all the female dependents were pressed, Li Chu looked around, and announced directly, "I have found it." β
Bai Xuan's face turned pale, in the end, she was just a girl who had not been deeply involved in the world, and she would inevitably be afraid of doing this kind of thing for the first time. Fortunately, everyone's attention was not on her, so they didn't notice anything unusual about her.
"Stand up yourself, do you want me to pull you out?" Li Chu was puzzled, he didn't seem to know her, what kind of grudge did he have with her, and he actually wanted to frame himself.
Hearing this, everyone looked at the people around them, Bai Xuan didn't move, she was still lucky, maybe Li Chu was just bluffing.
"The young lady in white." Li Chu pointed at Bai Xuan.
Everyone was in an uproar, how could it be her?
Bai Xuan has always been a timid and shy girl in everyone's minds, and her sense of existence is very weak. I spend most of my time in my own yard, how could I do such a thing?
"How do you think it's me?" Bai Xuan broke down and shouted.
Li Chu asked rhetorically, "Then why are you framing me?" β
Bai Xuan suddenly laughed, her face distorted, "Why...... Haha, why can you, a wild species of unknown origin, easily get everyone's love and respect, and I, I can only be careful to please them, and they still look down on me, why? β
After saying this, Bai Xuan's tears flowed out, "Yes, I killed Li Jinshu, why does she look down on me, why is she so high, her self-righteous appearance is really ridiculous." β
The second lady was very angry, "You slut, you give back my daughter's life!" As he spoke, he pounced, grabbed Bai Xuan's hair and pulled it, "Slut, where did Loei treat you badly." β
Second Master Li hurriedly pulled her away, and what kind of system did she do in front of everyone.
Seeing that the matter was already clear, Li Chu couldn't help but sigh, this Bai Xuan was also pitiful, I was afraid that her depressing life over the years had caused her mental problems, but in any case, she should not have done such an extreme thing, and in the end she would harm others and herself.
Now that you've proven your innocence, it's none of your business.
In fact, the fingerprints on the small note are very blurry, maybe her hands are really clean, or maybe it has been too long, plus after the friction of several people, it is basically impossible to see clearly, Li Chu just used it to trick her, but I didn't expect her to admit it like this.
Everyone in the Li Mansion immediately discussed, this lady is usually soft and weak, polite to everyone, I didn't expect to do this kind of thing behind her back, it is really unseemly, the Li family kindly took her in the house to eat and drink well, and actually took revenge.
As for how they dealt with Bai Xuan, Li Chu didn't want to pay attention to it, and there must be no good results.
Glancing at the chaotic scene, Li Chu shook her head, the water at the door of these mansions was deep, and she didn't want to fall into it, so she winked at Yun Mo and left quietly with him. However, although she didn't want to care about it, Yun Mo would not let go of Li Jinshu.
Although the second lady was eager to kill Bai Xuan with her own hands to avenge her daughter, in the end, the Li family handed Bai Xuan over to the government to deal with. But that night, Bai Xuan committed suicide in prison, but the truth is unknown.
When Bai Li Hao heard about this, he was so angry that he almost ran over to kill the culprit, can their apprentices be wronged casually?
Baili Hao went to be a thief last night and slept until noon, so he didn't see the scene in the morning.
Fortunately, Li Chu pulled him in time, "Am I so easy to be bullied?" β
That's right, this little girl is clever.
Bai Li Hao snorted lightly, "Then do you want Master to give her some poison and let her taste it." β
"Okay, give it to me."
Baili Hao opened the treasure bag, took out the poison inside, and introduced it to Li Chu with great interest, "This is the 'Red Face Tribulation', and you will grow old overnight after taking it, this is the 'Cold Ice Evil', and the whole body is cold to the bones after taking it, and this is the 'Burning Flame', and the whole body is like ......a fire when you take it."
"Xiao Li'er, which one do you want?" Baili Hao picks and chooses, which one is used?
"It's all there." Li Chu took them for himself, but he didn't expect Master to have so much inventory.
Baili Hao was stunned, the little girl is a ruthless person, and she actually uses so many kinds at the same time? is much more ruthless than himself, and he deserves to be his own apprentice.
But he was wrong, Li Chu didn't plan to waste these poisons on Bai Xuan at all, anyway, her fate was not much better.
