Chapter 13: Motive for the Killing
"I know!" There was a crisp sound outside the door.
The sound is like a wind chime in the spring breeze, and it seems like a beautiful woman playing a wonderful music.
"I know", these three words, no matter how any woman says them, they will not be beautiful, but that woman seems to have infinite charm, and the words she says seem to make a man's three souls broken and his seven spirits lost.
Fu Bowen outside the door was the first to see the woman, his eyes staring directly at the woman's figure, as if he was fascinated.
When he first met Wei Bixi, he always thought that she was the most beautiful woman he had ever seen in his life, but when he saw the woman who said the word "I know", he felt that that woman was a rare peerless beauty in the world and difficult to find in the sky.
Song Ruilong saw the woman walk in, and he was excited to go up and hug her.
The woman was wearing a green gown, her eyebrows were like willow leaves, her eyes were like clear springs, and her skin was fair, giving people a sense of otherworldliness.
Her slender jade held a green phoenix sword in her hand.
Chen Changsheng only glanced at the woman, his soul seemed to be about to fly, and the woman said that she knew the origin of the map on the inkstone, which made him admire the mysterious beauty even more.
As soon as the woman walked into the house, Wei Bixiao greeted her excitedly and said, "Sister Xianrong, why are you here?"
That fairy-like girl was none other than Su Xianrong, Song Ruilong's sister, and she said with a smile: "Sister Bi Xiao didn't expect your speed to be quite fast. When I was escorting the prisoner to the county office, someone told me that there was a murder case in Zhou Yuanwai's house, so I didn't even return to the yamen. ”
Song Ruilong smiled excitedly: "Xianrong, you came just in time, this old and cunning suspect Chen Changsheng will be handed over to you." I think, no matter how good he is, he can't help but be able to stop you, a female Zhuge . ”
Su Xianrong said politely: "Brother Song said he was smiling."
Wei Bixiao looked at Su Xianrong curiously, and said, "Sister Xianrong, tell me what this inkstone has to do with the martial arts cheats?"
Su Xianrong took the inkstone on Song Ruilong's fan in his hand, looked at it for a moment and said: "It is rumored that a hundred years ago, there was a peerless master named Dugu Yuxiao, his martial arts were strange, he was withdrawn by nature, and he often used qin, chess, calligraphy and painting as weapons, and finally practiced four peerless divine skills. Among them, the trick of using the piano as a weapon is to use the rhythm created by itself and add profound internal force to play a divine comedy that can burn the heavens and destroy the earth. ”
Wei Bixiao stared at her big eyes in surprise and said, "Is it so powerful?"
Su Xianrong nodded, "Of course!" The second is his chess. He can lift a chessboard weighing 10,000 catties with one hand, as if holding a fast knife and a long sword, so that the opponent can touch it and die. He can also play a chess piece with his hand, straight through the opponent's throat, and it is not unusual. The third is his calligraphy, a brush in his hand, although there is only one move, but that move has never been avoided. The fourth is his paintings. His drawing paper can be turned into a weapon sharper than a sword, and he can cut off an opponent's neck with a single throw. He is an almost mythical figure, so no one has really seen his martial arts, because everyone who has seen it has died. ”
Wei Bixiao grinned twice and said, "Sister Xianrong, are you joking?" How can there be such profound martial arts in the world? ”
Chen Changsheng said seriously: "What she said is true. Otherwise, I wouldn't have killed Zhou Yuanwai, Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Liuxing for an inkstone. ”
Su Xianrong aimed the inkstone in his hand at a piece of marble outside the door and fell hard, and when the inkstone was shattered, everyone was stunned and wanted to scream.
You must know that inkstone may allow a person to practice peerless divine skills, who doesn't want to get it? But Su Xianrong actually threw it away, and even smashed it to pieces, this move surprised even Song Ruilong.
Chen Changsheng's heart seemed to be broken, the inkstone seemed to be his own son, and now that the inkstone was broken, his dream was shattered.
Everyone looked at Su Xianrong with strange eyes, but Su Xianrong said indifferently: "The legend is true, but that inkstone is fake." An inkstone like that, in an inkstone shop, you can buy ten pieces for one or two pieces of silver. ”
Chen Changsheng said remorsefully: "Is that inkstone really fake?"
Chen Changsheng's eyes didn't have any spirit, as if his father had died, and it was extremely ugly.
Su Xianrong said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Why should I lie to you? If the inkstone is real, do you think this girl will easily break it? It's you, who killed three people for a fake. Among them, there is a human life that once saved your life, and also passed on most of your martial arts to you, is this how you repay your benefactor? ”
Chen Changsheng smiled sadly: "Hahaha...... Fake, that inkstone turned out to be fake! I killed my master for a fake. I'm damned. ”
Su Xianrong said: "It's too late for you to regret it now." If you want to do something for your lord to make up for your mistakes, I think you might as well tell me how you killed Bai Xiaosheng and Zhao Liuxing? ”
Chen Changsheng said bitterly: "When I learned that the inkstone might be the legendary treasure map, I didn't think about anything, I just wanted to get my hands on the inkstone. I got the ink stick from the deceased's body, and I was about to take the inkstone, but at this time, I happened to be discovered by the thief Zhao Liuxing, and the old man called, I was afraid that the matter would be revealed, so I only took the ink stick and left the inkstone on the deceased. When my lord saw the inkstone, he did not find the map on the inkstone, but found the value of the inkstone, and he said that the inkstone with the ink stick could be sold for at least 30,000 taels of silver. The old man pressed me to ask about grinding ink sticks, and I said that the injured person might have lost them. Fortunately, the injured man did not say a word from beginning to end. But then I got the attention of the old man, and he wanted to kill me. ”
Su Xianrong asked, "So you should start first and put a colorless and tasteless poison into the medicine prepared by Bai Xiaosheng, right?"
"Exactly." Chen Changsheng said: "I took advantage of the contradiction between Bai Xiaosheng and Master Zhou, and asked Bai Xiaosheng to use the black centipede and the poison of the red dot seven stars to make Zhou Shicheng overexcited, and finally create a false impression of dying from excessive intercourse."
Su Xianrong said with anger: "What a poisonous plan to kill people without seeing blood!" Then why did you kill Bai Xiaosheng later? ”
Chen Changsheng sighed, "This is also part of my murderous plan. If the old man dies and someone reports to the official the next day, then the government will definitely investigate the matter thoroughly, and there will always be someone to convict. So I asked Bai Xiaosheng to be this scapegoat. I secretly followed Bai Xiaosheng to his residence, and while he was unprepared, I wrapped the white silk prepared in advance around his neck. Who knew that this Bai Xiaosheng was still two times, and in the struggle, he pulled a lot of medicine boxes to the ground, making the room full of medicinal herbs. After I hanged Bai Xiaosheng, I hurriedly found a stool and put it at his feet, and hurriedly put the medicinal herbs on the ground back into the medicine box. At this time, a black shadow suddenly flashed outside the door, and I chased it out to take a look, and it turned out to be the three-handed Zhao meteor. He has discovered many of my secrets, so he can't live. Thinking of this, I chased him to his house, drew the short knife I carried with me, and killed him with one sword. That's how it happened. ”
After Chen Changsheng finished speaking, Zhang Meixian also finished memorizing, Song Ruilong picked up the confession and read it, handed it to Wei Bixi, and said, "Let him sign and draw the pledge."
When Chen Changsheng saw the piece of paper, he sneered: "You want to arrest me, but I'm afraid it's not so easy!"
