Chapter 31: Dead
The next day, Du Nianqing hung Guo Ji's bookmark and Luo Qin's bookmark together, and the log-colored boat carving changed color in an instant, dyed with a layer of reddish brown.
Du Nianqing was stunned in place, she stared at it for a long time, this thing is so magical, it will change color? She herself was amazed.
She only knows that there is a poignant love story about this boat carving, when there was a fisherman who fell in love with a beautiful girl in the village, the two fell in love at first sight, the place where they usually meet is on the fishing boat, the fisherman has saved enough money to marry the girl, who expected to be the butcher in the village to snatch love, in advance of the marriage, the second elder of the girl's family dislikes the fisherman is poor, unwilling to accept the fisherman, the fisherman wants to elope with the girl but fails, and finally the butcher knows about it, So he found someone to beat the fisherman to death, and finally the girl learned of this, and jumped into the river, and later a master carver carved a fishing boat in order to commemorate this poignant love story.
But now the ship has changed color because of the manifestation of the lovers who love each other but cannot be together? Seeing someone together in this world, was moved?
Just guessing like this, there were policemen who surrounded and entered the Liangyuan shop.
"You're the proprietress here?" The policeman who took the lead looked at Du Nianqing with his eyebrows, and he looked like a girl in her early twenties.
"What's wrong?" Du Nianqing nodded, she looked at the leading policeman suspiciously, what was the situation in this formation early in the morning?
"Old Luo gambler is dead!"
Du Nianqing's eyes widened in disbelief, his eyes were rolling in his sockets, this amount of information was a bit large! Didn't she let Fuxiang drag him yesterday? How could he die? Fuxiang is definitely impossible!
"I heard he was the last to come to you yesterday! What is he doing here? The policeman stared at her surprised expression and asked again.
Du Nianqing pursed his lips and nodded, and said honestly: "He came yesterday afternoon, and he came to me to look for his daughter, but after I said that his daughter was not with me, he left!" ”
"His body was found in the alley, and it's the alley behind your shop! We've also caught the man who killed him, but according to your designation, it was at your behest! ”
"Impossible!" Du Nianqing's voice couldn't help but rise, and the police glared at her, "At that time, we also found a person lying on the ground in the alley, named Fuxiang, he is a person in your shop, you can't deny this, right?" ”
"He's from my shop." Fuxiang was also plotted?
"That's right, we found a note on him, and it was written in black and white that you told him to kill someone." The policeman in the lead spoke clearly.
Du Nianqing frowned, and the police waved his hand, "Arrest the person back to the police station first, and then interrogate!" ”
Immediately, several policemen stepped forward to arrest people, Du Nianqing did not struggle, and followed them, she knew that if she resisted arrest, the matter would be even more troublesome, and she also confirmed her charge of murder.
The police locked the door of the shop before taking people away, and the neighbors watched Du Nianqing being arrested, and they all joined in the fun, thinking that she was doing something!
Li Zi went out to buy pastries and happened to bump into this scene, he stared in surprise, what happened? I only heard the owner of the pastry shop say, "Hey! This girl, this time! I guess it's a big deal! That old gambler Luo was beaten to death in the alley last night! ”
Li Zi was even more surprised, his eyes were about to pop out, he took the wrapped pastry and hurriedly ran all the way back to Ming's house, at this time, it happened that Ming Yihan was cold, Old Man Ming and Xue Siya were there, and the three of them were eating breakfast.
"Master, young master, Miss Xue!" Li Zi's chest rose and fell, Xue Siya looked at him and smiled, "What are you doing here?" Running sweaty! ”
Old Man Ming stared at him, Li Zi smiled awkwardly, put the pastry on the table and opened it, "The apricot blossom cake of this century-old shop tastes very good, and the craftsmanship is pure, Miss Xue hasn't tasted it yet, so the young master let me go out and buy it this morning." ”
Xue Siya glanced at the pastry, and then raised her eyes to look at Ming Yihan, her eyes were full of affection, and he smiled slightly, "You can taste it, it tastes very good!" ”
"Uh-huh." Xue Siya couldn't hide the smile on her face, took a piece and took a small bite, her eyes showed surprise, and she nodded again and again: "It's delicious!" ”
"If it's delicious, you can eat more!"
Old Man Ming saw that the two of them had made progress in getting along, and he was also a little more pleasant, and he felt a lot more relieved, this kid still took his words to heart!
Ming Yihan raised his eyes and looked at Li Zi, just as the two looked at each other, he looked at the movements of his hands again, meaning to let him go upstairs.
"Grandpa, Siya, you eat slowly, I'm full and go upstairs first!" Ming Yihan got up to leave, and Li Zi bowed to Old Man Ming and left.
Entering Ming Yihan's room and closing the door, Li Zicai finally dared to show a nervous look, Ming Yihan stared at him, "What's wrong?" ”
Just looking at him like that, he felt that something was wrong.
"When I went to buy pastries this morning, the pastry shop was not far from Miss Yi's shop, and I happened to bump into her being taken away by the police!"
Ming Yihan frowned, a little surprised, and his eyes suddenly became sharp, "What did you say?" ”
"I heard that it was because Luo Lao gambler was beaten to death last night! The body was found in the alley behind Miss Yi's shop! Li Zi told everything he knew, anyway, he didn't believe that the death of Luo Lao's gambler had anything to do with Du Nianqing.
Ming Yihan pulled his tie, raised his neck, frowned, and put his hand on Li Zi's shoulder, "You should find out about this matter first!" Don't let the news go! ”
He knew that the murderer could definitely not be Du Nianqing.
"Good!"
After Li Zi went out, Ming Yihan sat on the chair casually, he frowned, who killed Luo Lao gambler and wanted to frame Du Nianqing?
Who did this girl offend?
Du Nianqing was taken to the police station and locked up alone, she sat on the edge of the bed and thought, Fuxiang was beaten with Luo Lao gambler, but he survived, which means that someone must know that he is the person from her shop, so he deliberately spared his life, and then wrote a note to frame her for the crime.
But who could it be? It's obvious that this matter is aimed at her, and it doesn't seem to be a temporary idea at all, it's clear that she just found an opportunity to do it! But if you look for a good opportunity, it can only mean that the person knows all her every move and plan, is it really just a coincidence?
The door of the prison was opened, "Anonymous, accept cross-examination!" ”
Du Nianqing raised her eyes, almost forgetting her pseudonym, she stood up and followed to the interrogation room, sitting opposite was not the leading policeman who led Nianqing Liangyuan Shop to arrest her today, but changed to a young boy, looking like twenty-five or sixteen, with a neutral temperament, but handsome and capable.
"Name."
"Little brother, didn't you know the prisoner's information in advance before you interrogated him?" Du Nianqing naughtily wanted to tease the young policeman sitting opposite.
Zhou Qifeng glared at the girl in front of him, three points of shame and seven points of anger: "Speak well!" ”
Du Nianqing snickered: "Anonymous! ”
"Age."
"Twenty-three."
Zhou Qifeng raised his eyes and stared at her for a while, he was really not very old, and he asked, "Why do you want to buy murder at a young age?" ”
"Little brother, did I say I didn't believe you?" She blinked, she was really wronged!
"I'll let you talk well! I'm a cop! Zhou Qifeng was a little annoyed, Du Nianqing held back a smile, what a simple boy, "I really didn't kill anyone!" ”
"But why is there evidence? And the person who killed Luo Lao gambler is still the person in your shop? Zhou Qifeng stared at her solemnly.
"Then the person you keep saying about killing Luo Lao's gambler, did he personally admit that he was a murderer?"
Zhou Qifeng was silent for two seconds, and then said: "The note that instructed him to kill people was found on his body, it is already ironclad evidence, even if he refuses to admit it, it is a fact!"
"Little" Zhou Qifeng glared at her, and she immediately changed her words, "Officer, I ask you to think about it, since he was originally from my shop, why should I write him a note if I let him kill someone?" Doesn't this mean that it is me who is going to kill someone? And I don't have a motive to kill! ”
"I've heard he's been to your shop twice!"
"That's all because he abused his daughter, I protected his daughter when I saw injustice, and didn't let him take people away, and the second time his daughter disappeared and came to me to look for him, I told him that he wasn't there, and then he left, and I didn't see him after that!"
"You make sense!" Zhou Qifeng did not deny her words, and continued: "However, your person's appearance at the scene of the crime is the most suspicious place, if this matter has nothing to do with you, then can you explain why he was at the scene, and Luo Lao gambler was covered in injuries and was beaten to death, but there were no scars on Fuxiang's body, if it was not a purposeful killing, then why did the murderer only kill Luo Lao gambler and not Fuxiang?" Isn't he afraid that Fuxiang will call the police when he sees his true face? On the contrary, when we interrogated Fuxiang, he said that he had not seen anything! ”
Du Nianqing frowned, this policeman's eloquence is good, and the logic is clear, she has no way to explain this matter for the time being, she can't directly say that she is to send Luo Lao's gambler woman to elope with her sweetheart, so she found Fuxiang to drag someone, right? He may not believe it.
"Why don't you speak? Did I say yes? Zhou Qifeng stared at her, Du Nianqing chuckled, "What you said is too reasonable, police officer, I can't refute it!" ”
This made Zhou Qifeng not know what to say, "You are guilty of this?"
"I didn't do anything to confess?" Du Nianqing blinked with a smile and pretended to be stupid.
Zhou Qifeng frowned, this girl is really a weirdo, she can still laugh at such a time?
"It's not up to you! As long as we have all the evidence, even if you don't admit your guilt, you won't be able to get away with murder! And the death penalty! Zhou Qifeng said it very seriously and warned her.
"Well, I'm waiting for your evidence, and I still need you to give me back my innocence!" Du Nianqing smiled indifferently, she naturally wouldn't be weak if she hadn't done it, but she wouldn't be indifferent, since she wanted to kill her, there would definitely be another move, so she would also find a way to get in touch with the outside world.
Zhou Qifeng stared at Du Nianqing with his eyebrows, is she really not taking it seriously? He even said such a thing!
