Chapter 275: The Murderer
Mrs. Ru lowered her head and clenched her handkerchief with both hands.
She took a deep breath, grabbed Hu Xiao before he spoke, and said softly: "Miss, is it a concubine, you shouldn't be invited to the prison, everything starts with me, and I will go to ask the master later, be grounded in the courtyard, and copy the scriptures for the young lady." β
Hu Xiao opened his gaze, as if he didn't want to see her, and snorted coldly.
The old lady spoke: "Xiao'er, have a good rest, have something to say slowly, and have time to say it to grandmother." β
Hu Xiao is now physically and mentally weak, so he nodded when he heard this.
Gu Rongrong glanced at Mrs. Ru, and said in her heart that the green tea she had practiced in the past few decades was really not given for nothing.
In a few sentences, she simply summarized the matter, and to put it lightly, Hu Xiao suffered a catastrophe, and she took off her responsibility in two or three sentences.
However, Gu Rongrong didn't finish thinking about it.
She can conclude that Mrs. Ru is by no means as simple as she said, and letting Hu Xiao go to prison must have a deep meaning.
But now is not the time.
After the ritual was completed, Hu Xiao woke up, his sanity was restored, and everything was complete.
The old lady thanked her for her kindness and ordered someone to send Gu Rongrong and Lao Zaifu out of the house.
As soon as he left the house, Lao Zaifu breathed a sigh of relief.
"How? I'm not bad at acting, right? β
"Of course, it's very good," Gu Rongrong praised without hesitation.
"How did you get that fog?" Lao Zaifu couldn't help but ask.
"That, it's just a little trick," Gu Rongrong didn't hide it, "I'll show you it when I go back, and now we have to pick up people." β
The two walked through the alley and saw Leng Xinghe and Leng Miaomiao at the other end.
Leng Miaomiao has recovered her true appearance, Lao Zaifu was surprised, and he did not reject Leng Miaomiao's statement that he wanted to join the team.
Leng Xinghe thought silently, he was ostracized, whether it was the sick boy Nuan Yang Yang, or the now strong and healthy hero Jin Mailang.
It's too hard.
Although Lao Zaifu was not satisfied with him, he helped a lot this time, and said that he was sick, so he could only snort.
Back in the small courtyard, change the makeup back, and they went back to the Hu family's courtyard in batches.
Gu Rongrong asked Leng Zhitang and the princess, everything was as usual, Gu Wenlou didn't act as a demon, and he didn't mention anything about leaving.
Just thinking about it, the assassin sent someone to invite him, saying that there were some important clues.
Gu Rongrong was about to go immediately, and Leng Xinghe said: "I'll go with you, maybe I can make some efforts, even if I pay your consultation fee." β
Gu Rongrong didn't mind that he went with him, his statement made others unable to say anything.
The two went together and went to the Assassin's Mansion, and when they asked, they learned that the Assassin had gone to the morgue.
Gu Rongrong wondered, she had already seen and tested those scorched corpses, what else could she find?
When I arrived at the door of the morgue, I saw Xue Tingshi standing with his eyebrows twisted, listening to a middle-aged man reporting something.
As soon as Gu Rongrong arrived, Thorn Shi waved his hand, and the man didn't say any more.
"The princess came just in time," he pointed to the person next to him, "This person is a puppet and is explaining the situation, you start from the beginning, and let the princess know about it." β
"Yes."
Gu Rongrong remained silent, and listened to what he said: "He was indeed poisoned and died, his mouth was purple, his teeth were black, his nails were also blue and purple, and there was blood in his ears......
Gu Rongrong was a little stunned when she heard it, who was poisoned?
"My lord, who died of poisoning?"
Xue Tingshi slapped his head: "Blame the lower official, my brain is confused, I haven't made it clear to the princess, the murderer who set the fire has been found, but he has been poisoned and died." β
"The murderer has been found? Who is it? β
Xue Tingshi turned sideways and asked Gu Rongrong to go in: "It's a cell boss in prison, and he is a neighbor of Liu Ping's family." β
"Speaking of which, the relationship between the two families was originally good, and they also had a boy in their family, who was as old as Liu Ping, and the two children grew up together since childhood, which is very good, by the way, the cell boss also has a daughter, who is one year younger than his son, and he is engaged to Liu Ping."
Gu Rongrong was stunned: "Engagement? Liu Ping's fiancΓ©e, isn't she Yahuan Alai from Hu Mansion? β
"That's after that," Thorn Shi sighed and handed a suicide note to Gu Rongrong, "This is the handwriting of the cell boss." β
Gu Rongrong unfolded it and looked at it, and the ins and outs of the matter were very clear.
Originally, the relationship between the two families was good, but in three years, the two went to the lake together, but it rained heavily, there were wind and waves, Liu Ping did not know the nature of the water, but the son of the cell head knew water, after Liu Ping accidentally fell into the water, the son of the cell head went into the water to rescue, Liu Ping was alive, but he himself drowned.
The cell boss's family was heartbroken, his wife died of grief not long after, and the cell boss was even more sad, but Liu Ping's family was safe and sound, which made him hate in his heart, and the marriage of the two children naturally ended.
thought that Liu Ping's family should be in the same pain, but unexpectedly, the cell boss suddenly heard that Liu Ping was engaged again, thinking of his dead son, wife, and daughter who was sad all day, the suppressed hatred in the cell boss's heart was like a beast out of the gate.
If you have a hurtful heart, you can no longer hold it back.
However, Liu Ping has been working in Hufu, and he usually doesn't go home much, and he is a cell boss, and he doesn't dare to go to Hufu to make trouble, so he has been suffering from the law.
Finally, the opportunity came.
Liu Ping's father and son were actually imprisoned, and it was the prison he was responsible for!
He was overjoyed, and decided that night that he wanted to take revenge on his blood hatred.
For this reason, he prepared oil and other things, and added drugs to the candle flame, so that the people in the prison slept so deeply, and by the time they realized it, it was already too late.
He just wanted to burn Liu Ping's father and son to avenge his wife and son in anger, but he didn't expect the fire to be so big, he burned so many people at once, and it also affected many of his own people.
He felt guilty and couldn't face it, so he had to leave a suicide note and commit suicide by taking poison.
Gu Rongrong read the suicide note and didn't speak for a while.
Thorn Shi sighed: "He shouldn't have been on duty that day, he came back quietly, because he was the head of the cell, and the others didn't care, so no one suspected him afterwards." β
"To be honest, he is usually a good person, everyone has a good impression of him, and the same is true for the lower officials, I really can't imagine that he would do such a thing."
"If it weren't for him writing his suicide note, Xia Guan still wouldn't believe it."
Gu Rongrong put away the suicide note, nodded slowly, and glanced at the corpse of the cell boss again: "People's hearts are unpredictable, some murders have been planned for a long time, and some are momentary anger, which is difficult to predict. β
"The matter finally has a result, and the lower officials can also give an explanation to those who are dead and wounded."
After the assassin finished speaking, he commanded: "Bury the cell boss well, although he is guilty, he is also a hard-working person, and he must not do things casually." β
"Yes."
"In addition, the burial should be kept secret, so as not to let the family members of other deceased know, so as not to cause trouble."
After all, the other dead don't care if you suffer or not.
The assassin was properly arranged, and Gu Rongrong said, "My lord, if there is nothing else, I want to go and see Ah Lai." β
"Okay, princess, please."
Thorn Shi's gaze swept over Leng Xinghe and didn't ask much.
