Chapter 9: Dossier
At this time, Qin Bangping was dressed in gray clothes, his hair was slightly messy, and his eyes were bloodshot, obviously he hadn't rested for some days.
Gu Qiu poured her a glass of water with some distress, and said:
"Sit down and talk slowly, I'm tired these days."
Qin Bangping took the water and poured it directly, then dusted off his robe, sat in his position, and said with a face as heavy as water:
"Auntie's case, the county has been closed this morning."
Hearing this, Mo Yulan and Qin Liuyun, who were sitting on the chair, couldn't sit still, leaned forward slightly, and asked anxiously:
"Case closed? Who the murderer is, you tell me in detail. ”
Qin Bangping took out a file from his arms, handed it to Gu Qiu, and immediately sighed and said:
"Grandfather, grandmother, look at it, aunt....that's the only way it is."
Mo Yulan and the two of them glanced at each other, slowly opened the rolled up file, and looked at it carefully line by line, without missing a word.
Seeing the last line, as soon as Mo Yulan's hand was loosened, the dossier slipped to the ground, and her eyes, which were already vicissitudes, were full of hollowness at this time, and she sat there motionless.
And Qin Liuyun was even more tearful, and said:
"Jiang Jianxiu, I just said that Lan'er will be destroyed in his hands sooner or later....."
Jiang Zhi heard this sentence as soon as she came in, her eyebrows frowned slightly, why did her grandfather say father, does this matter have anything to do with Jiang Jianxiu.
"Xiao Zhi, sit down."
As Gu Qiu spoke, he bent down and picked up the file that had fallen on the ground, but he didn't look at it, but put it on the table of the Eight Immortals again.
Mo Yulan was the corners of her lips twitching, hugging Jiang Zhi, like a treasure in the palm of her hand, she cried bitterly, no matter who persuaded her, she couldn't persuade her.
Jiang Zhi let Mo Yulan hold her, patted her back for a while, comforting her wordlessly, but she became more and more puzzled about what had just happened in her heart.
It was Qin Bangping, who saw her doubts, and said:
"My aunt's killer has been found, and the case has been closed."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's back stiffened, she turned her head to look at Qin Bangping, and her throat seemed to be a little dry and asked:
"Who is it?"
"Lin Xin, the same village who went to the south with your father, went to the south three months ago and found out that Lin Xin had killed your father and was a widow, so ......"
Qin Bangping sighed and said, looking at Jiang Zhi's slightly confused eyes, he suddenly felt that the truth was a little cruel.
When Jiang Zhi heard Qin Bangping's words, a glimmer of light flashed in her eyes, Lin Xintong, then why didn't you kill Qin Lan in the southern border, but waited until she returned to the village, and even took Jiang Jianxiu's ashes.
Moreover, Lin Xin was killed when she came to Chungju, how did they find out that Lin Xin was a widow, and this incident only happened in less than three days, is it too hasty to close the case.
Jiang Zhi thought about it while picking up the dossier and reading it, when she saw the last few lines of words, her pupils shrank, which made her feel a chill in her heart, there were some things, she wanted to grasp them, but she couldn't grasp them.
Lin Xin's family was beheaded all over the house and executed immediately......
"Cousin, when you came back, the Lin family....Did the Lin family all behead?"
Jiang Zhi didn't care much, took the file, walked to Qin Bangping's side, grabbed his sleeve, and asked with a trembling voice.
Everyone thought that Jiang Zhi was trembling due to excitement or sadness, but only Jiang Zhi knew that it was because of nervousness....
"Of course, if I don't personally watch the fate of their family, how can I be worthy of my aunt, how can I explain to my grandfather and grandmother, and my cousin can rest assured that this kind of thing will not happen again in the future."
Qin Bangping nodded, raised his hand and touched the top of Jiang Zhi's hair, and said in a warm voice.
Jiang Zhi only felt that her last glimmer of hope was also dashed, and she couldn't help but speak again, and asked in a trembling voice:
"Are they all dead? Not a single one left? ”
"It's a big crime of treason, even if we want to forgive, but the law of the country is intolerable, so there's no one left, cousin, don't worry, it's all over, don't be afraid."
Qin Bangping opened his mouth and said, in fact, he felt a little emotion in his heart, after all, Lin Xin's parents, wife and daughter were innocent, but now they were all broken because of his fault.
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi let go of her hand, a far-fetched smile curled up at the corner of her lips, and she said:
"But I think Lin Xin doesn't seem to be the murderer who killed my mother that night."
Speaking of this, Jiang Zhi paused, stared at Qin Bangping with burning eyes, and said word by word:
"Lin Xin is likely to ..... for the dead ghost."
Qin Bangping, who was about to say something, suddenly gasped when he heard Jiang Zhi's words, sat there with his back stiff, and only found his voice in the middle of the sound, and asked softly:
"Cousin, do you know what you're talking about?"
Jiang Zhi looked around at several people around her, her faces were different, but there was no doubt that the worry in her eyes could not be faked, and her fingers were loose.
Let's take a gamble, bet that these people are credible people, after all, she is new to the city, she is not familiar with the place, whether she has the ability or not, it is really difficult to find the murderer.
"I remember that the man in black that night was wearing an emerald gemstone ring on his hand, the same as this one, but Lin Xinxin didn't have it on his hand."
Jiang Zhi said as she unfolded the rice paper she had drawn and spoke.
Qin Bangping was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes, and said:
"This ring? The workmanship seems to be the style of the Japanese coars, and maybe he forgot to bring it one day. ”
"Cousin, you are a little too sensitive, a jade ring can't say anything, maybe the court has this ring in the things seized from him."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi pursed her lips, and then asked:
"Is there a lot of jewelry in Lin Xin's house? Confiscated? Where are you now? ”
"Where is the county office, there are several boxes of jewelry, and there are Jinyiwei escorted into Beijing, don't fight the idea there, Jinyiwei has no mercy to talk about."
Qin Bangping looked at Jiang Zhi's appearance, for fear that she would go to fight Jinyiwei's idea, so he hurriedly spoke.
Jiang Zhi nodded, slowly rolled up her rice paper, and was about to put it away, but was stopped by Qin Bangping, he looked at Jiang Zhi's puzzled gaze, smiled, and said:
"I think my cousin's painting is very good, and I plan to keep it for a while, and if I see this thing in the future, I may be able to recognize it."
Hearing this, Jiang Zhi's heart tightened, and Dou Zhi was suspicious, but she didn't show it on her face, didn't say anything, handed over the painting to Qin Bangping, turned her head to look at Mo Yulan and the two people, and said:
"I'm a little tired, grandfather, grandmother, Xiao Zhi went back first."
