"It's really good wine!" The young yacha praised it, stretched out his hand and handed it to the older one next to him, "Boss, you can also drink some to warm up." β
The old yacha had a calm face, and wanted to refuse, but the aroma of the wine kept drilling into his nose, and the old man drank a scoop of it himself just now, which really dispelled his suspicions, and he took the scoop of wine with a little hesitation.
The two of you scooped me one scoop, and in a blink of an eye, the rest of the wine bottomed out.
The young yacha reached out and tore a chicken leg and handed it to the older yacha, leaving the other one for himself, and the two of them ate with a few sips of wine.
Full of wine and food, their stomachs were hot, and the two of them seemed more energetic than just now.
The old man smiled and left, and the two yacha were about to get up from the ground, but the two of them were weak in both legs and fell directly to the ground.
"Oh no, there's something wrong with this wine." Both of them knew how much they had drunk, and their legs couldn't stand on their feet after only a few scoops of drinking, and it would be not only their legs, but they also began to lose their strength.
In a daze, the two of them only felt that their eyes were dark, and then they didn't know anything at all.
Someone spoke again in the darkness, and said in a trembling voice, "You can let my daughter go." β
It was the old man who had just sold wine who spoke, and he looked at the man in front of him with only one pair of eyes exposed, obviously uneasy and afraid.
Yesterday, the old man came home after selling wine, only to find that his daughter had not returned, and immediately panicked, looking everywhere, and when he was about to report to the official, a masked man came to the house, and he was holding the purse of the old man's daughter. The masked man's request was that the old man would come to this Mao'er Hutong with a wine barrel tonight and let the wine mixed with sweat medicine be drunk by the yacha waiting there, if the matter is done, the old man's daughter will naturally be safe, but if it is discovered, she will wait for the corpse to be collected.
The old man's family are honest people, hearing the news like a thunderbolt in a sunny day, the old man's wife fainted directly with black eyes, only the old man barely supported it, tremblingly took the sweat medicine handed over by the masked man, and mixed it into the wine as agreed.
Seeing that things were going well, the masked man didn't bother to deal with the old man, so he said impatiently, "People are behind the Buddha statue in the ruined temple outside the city, you can go and find it." β
The old man was relieved and thanked again and again, "Thank you, thank you." He said and hurried away.
The masked man watched the old man walk away, and then turned his head to look at the courtyard not far away, revealing a cruel look.
The mask was taken off, revealing a young face, which was none other than Sun Zhou.
Sun Zhou stepped forward to look at the two yacha lying on the ground, stretched out his foot and kicked the two of them, and was even more relieved to see that the two were still motionless.
He walked to the door, reached out and began to knock.
There was a long knock on the door before there was movement in the house, and a woman's slightly hoarse voice sounded, "Who! β
"It's me." Sun Zhou said in a suppressed voice.
There was silence in the room for a while, the door latch was opened, Qiu Xin frowned and said, "There are people from the yamen outside, why did you come here?" β
"It's okay, I've solved both of them. I have something to tell you, it's very important, come into the house and tell it. Sun Zhou said that he didn't care what Qiu Xin said, and walked straight to the house.
Qiu Xin paused, closed the door and followed into the house.
Candles were lit in the room, and the light suddenly came on.
Qiu Xin was still wearing a coat, she reached out and poured a cup of tea, gave herself a cup, and gave another cup to Sun Zhou, "The tea is cooler, let's make do with it." β
Sun Zhou didn't touch the tea, but looked at Qiu Xin, "The yamen hasn't dispelled their suspicions about us until now. β
Hearing this, Qiu Xin showed a worried look, "I don't know what to do, it stands to reason that the murderer has confessed, why do you still chase us." β
"I heard that new evidence was found, and there was a pearl left at the scene of the crime at that time, and the bead was not He Qingrou's thing." Sun Zhou frowned and stared at Qiu Xin's face, "I remember that you have a pair of pearl earrings." Why haven't I seen you lately? β
Qiu Xin's face froze, and she took a deep breath before saying, "Then, I lost one of those earrings, and I couldn't make a pair, so I put it up." β
"Did you lose one or a pearl?" Sun Zhou's cold gaze passed, as if he could see through the panic in Qiu Xin's eyes.
"I didn't mean to, you were in too much of a hurry at the time, and I accidentally fell off when I moved her alone." Qiu Xin was obviously panicked, she stood up and looked at Sun Zhou and hurriedly explained.
Sun Zhou's face was already darkened, and he sneered, "Since you know that you have lost something, why didn't you tell me earlier, now that the people in the yamen have begun to suspect you, you can find a way to solve it yourself." β
Qiu Xin looked at the indifferent look on his face, bit his lip silently, and pinned his head to the side, "It's too chilling for you to say this, I did all those things for you." β
Sun Zhou showed an indifferent look, "It was you who killed the murderer, I had been drinking in the tavern at the time, and there were many people who testified to me." β
Qiu Xin looked at him in disbelief, as if he didn't believe that these words came out of his mouth, "How can you be so upside down, Miss He is obviously your ....."
"What if it's me, what do you have if I'm a witness?" Sun Zhou laughed disapprovingly.
Qiu Xin's heart suddenly cooled, after the incident, she obviously felt that Sun Zhou treated her not as well as before, but she told herself that it was because Sun Zhou was worried that they would be noticed by the people in the government if they got too close, so she deliberately alienated her.
But when she listened to Sun Zhou's indifferent words, she completely woke up to the fact that everything was her naΓ―ve, and Sun Zhou was using her from the beginning.
"There must be a motive for killing, Miss He and I have no grievances, what reason do I have to harm her?" Qiu Xin eased his mind and said with a strong spirit.
"The reason is naturally simple, you are jealous of the relationship between me and Qingrou, and if you can't destroy it, you will be vicious and harm Qingrou's life." Sun Zhou's tone was very calm, and there was no trace of guilt in his eyes.
Qiu Xin's body shook, she was young and bumpy and later fell to the Qinglou, she was a woman who was extremely uneasy in her heart, it was Sun Zhou's appearance that made her feel a trace of warmth, so she followed him with all her heart, even if Sun Zhou killed someone, she also helped the aftermath without hesitation. But in the end, this relationship was of no value in his eyes, making her heart like falling into an ice cave.
"So you figured it out early in the morning." Qiu Xin smiled bitterly and sat on the chair, as if he had been drained of all his strength, looking lifeless.
"I didn't have this intention in the first place, they forced me." Sun Zhou's expression suddenly became fierce, and he said in a gloomy tone, "If they hadn't been holding on to this matter, how could there be so much trouble." β
Qiu Xin looked at the man in front of him coldly, "So what do you want me to do, do you want me to go to the yamen to surrender or are you going to report me?" β
Sun Zhou looked at her and sighed softly, "To be honest, I really like you, but it's a pity that you have been targeted now, and if you drag it on, we will both be finished." Didn't you say that you would do anything for me, and now the opportunity has come. β
As he spoke, he pulled out a rope from his sleeve, and he slowly walked in front of Qiu Xin's eyes, and strangled her neck in her horrified gaze, "You're the only one who knows what I've done now, and I'll only be at ease if you're dead." I don't want to kill you, but I can't help it, you'll forgive me. β
As the strength in her hand became tighter and tighter, Qiu Xin's face turned a little whiter, she grabbed the rope with both hands, and her face struggled with difficulty, "Don't, don't kill me, I won't betray you." β
"Huh!" Sun Zhou smiled, and his tone was as gentle as the love words in the past, "I will be restless for a day if you live, only the dead can keep secrets forever." β
Qiu Xin's heart sank little by little, her hands fell to the sides of her body from the beginning of the struggle, and the moment her eyes closed, there was a thud in her ears. She wanted to see what was going on, but her eyelids were so heavy that she had no strength left.
After the door was kicked open, Sun Zhou was startled, and when he saw the person who appeared at the door, his face suddenly became bloodless.
"You, you're not ......" He looked at the two yacha with a look of disbelief, just now it was clear that they had drunk sweat medicine, and the medicine couldn't wake up at all for a day, and how could they stand here in good shape.
"There's a stranger in the alley all of a sudden, do you think we're really going to have no suspicion at all?" The young yacha sneered, "The old man who sells wine has already recruited all of them just now, and you arrested his daughter and forced him to drugged him in wine." β
Sun Zhou's hand moved, and he waved his hand again and again to explain, "This is nothing at all, misunderstanding, really misunderstanding, I haven't seen how that person could let him be drugged." β
"Then you explain this?" The older yacha also spoke, "This girl has been seen by the two of us with our own eyes, and if we had been a step late, her life would have been lost." β
The expression on Sun Zhou's face changed several times, and he wanted to find an excuse as an excuse, but this conclusive evidence did not allow him to quibble.
"If you have anything to say, just tell the county master." When the yacha took a step forward, stretched out his hand to tie up Sun Zhou, and escorted the people to the door, Sun Zhou saw more than a dozen yacha standing in the courtyard, and the person standing in front of those yacha was Lu Zhiyuan.
Sun Zhou was escorted away, and what awaited him would be the most severe punishment.
Lu Zhiyuan's mood will also be relaxed, the case that has plagued him for so long has finally been solved, and his mood is naturally comfortable.
When he returned to the county office, he saw a woman standing anxiously walking around the gate of the courtyard from a distance, he smiled, walked a few steps quickly, and reached out to take her hand, his tone was lightly reproachful, "More deeply, let you wait for me in the house." β
"Isn't that worrying to me?" Bai Zhi saw that the worried look between his eyebrows had disappeared, and she had already guessed in her heart that tonight's operation should be very smooth, "Then Sun Zhou is really going to kill people?" β
Speaking of Sun Zhou, Lu Zhiyuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he nodded and said, "When we arrived, he was preparing to strangle Qiu Xin with a rope, and if it was later, I am afraid that there would be another life." β
