Chapter 617: Key witnesses, wealth can be severed
However, what neither of them noticed was that behind the screen, a figure quietly left.
This is a private room in the flower building.
β¦β¦
And they are in this kind of extravagant occasion, when they are wanton and chic.
Master Di Yingdi, who was mentioned by them, was sitting in the patio in the backyard of Qiu Zhichen's shop, questioning the people of the Qiu family one by one.
Why did you come to the enemy's house again? Do you suspect that Qiu Zhichen killed Xi Xiaoyu?
No.
Di Ying came this time for the case of Qiao Xiuyuan being pushed into the river and drowning.
How could it be related to the enemy?
Or because of the portrait of the murderer described by the aunt who wanted to pour night incense into the river in the early morning when no one was noticing.
Initially, from this portrait, Di Ying thought of Qiu Zhichen.
Because the person in the portrait, whether from the side or the front, is somewhat similar to Qiu Zhichen.
Moreover, under Di Ying's arrangement, after sneaking a peek at Qiu Zhichen, although the aunt did not nod, she did not shake her head.
It's just that it's a bit like it.γIt's just that the height seems to be shorter than the murderer.,The body is thinner than the murderer.γ
In other words: the murderer is somewhat similar to Qiu Zhichen, but he is stronger and taller.
Di Ying went straight to the enemy's house.
Everyone in the enemy family didn't know anything.
asked about the time before and after Qiao Xiuyuan's death, and they were able to prove each other's alibi.
At that time, most people had not woken up yet, but small noodle restaurants like Qiu's family were open for business.
The family was also busy at the time.
The ones who went out to buy were Qiu Zhichen's eldest brother and sister-in-law, that is, Qiu Zhihai and Xu.
The vegetable market is in the north of Jingyi Fang, not too far from Qiu's small noodle restaurant. After passing through one main street and two lanes, you will arrive.
Di Ying listened to their various denials and testimonies against each other, and smiled.
The patio was not big, Di Ying sat in the middle of the patio courtyard, looked at the sunlight projected in the sky above her head, and then smiled at the Qiu family.
The laughter made the Qiu family inexplicably feel a chill in their backs.
I heard Master Di say loudly: "Early in the morning, if you want to do the business of getting up early, you will also get up early in the morning, and you will be busy with the things at hand."
Day after day, year after year, I got used to what I had to do and the people around me.
Wouldn't it be surprising if the official said, "One of you doesn't actually see the other?"
Don't rush to explain, continue to listen to the officer.
On the night of Xiao Xiaoyu's accident, the official followed the route she had taken.
In addition to finding the two shoes she took off and her footprints, Qiu Zhichen also found traces of Qiu Zhichen stepping on a puddle of unknown liquid and slipping due to her hurry.
At the same time, another footprint was also found.
No, not one, but half.
Half of the footprints had also stepped on the pool of unidentified liquid.
Not much, though.
Because what he stepped on was Qiu Zhichen who stepped on it and slipped out and remained on the ground. β
Di Ying said, her eyes slid over the faces of the Qiu family who were confused, thoughtful, or flustered.
Then he looked at the well in the corner of the courtyard.
He continued: "There is a wooden bridge near the place where Qiao Xiuyuan died. Before Qiao Xiuyuan died, she crossed the wooden bridge and turned right into the Jingmen Fang.
On that wooden bridge, the officer found half a footprint.
It's still half a piece, because the wooden bridge is passed by and cleaned every day, and there is no dust on it, so it is difficult for people who pass by to leave footprints.
And the half of it, because of something that was stepped on, left a small puddle of dark green liquid traces.
Confused, right? Don't worry, keep listening. β
Di Ying stood up and looked straight at Qiu Zhihai.
Again: "You once said: Your parents are very partial to your little brother Qiu Zhichen. And Qiu Zhichen only knows how to be lazy, or sleep a lot, or be playful, not only does he not care about the things in the shop, but also adds to the chaos.
Qiu Zhihai, in your heart, you actually hate Qiu Zhichen, right?
What's more, the business of this shop is getting bigger and bigger, and the population of your family is increasing more and more, and expanding the shop has become an inevitable thing.
It's expanded, and it's only going to get better and better in the future.
And you...... I don't want to have your brother who doesn't do anything but can get rich and noble at your fingertips in such a glorious future, right?
Tell me, when did you want to get rid of him? β
As soon as the words fell, everyone in the enemy family was stunned.
They looked at Qiu Zhihai in a daze, unable to believe what they had heard.
Qiu Zhihai also had a shocked expression.
After he was surprised for two breaths, he immediately shook his head and denied: "I didn't want to kill my brother, don't wronged the grass people, my lord, the grass people have never thought about it that way, he is my younger brother and my own brother."
How could the grass people do such an inhumane and inferior thing? β
But Qiu Zhichen pouted.
As if he had always had a premonition about this, after "chirping" his mouth, he said to Qiu Zhihai: "Brother, in fact, if you really want to talk about it......
It seems that since you beat me when I was five years old, you want to kill me, right?
I remember playing by the river, and suddenly my hands reached out and pushed me into the water.
I was flapping in the water.
Luckily, the water wasn't deep enough, and I didn't drown, so I learned to swim.
But I couldn't see what the person pushing me looked like.
However, the fluttering corner of his robe as he left made me realize it...... That person could be you.
But I couldn't believe it.
I was thinking: you just happened to be passing by and didn't see me. β
Qiu Zhichen said, with some ridicule and sadness on his face.
After exhaling a breath of turbidity, he continued: "When I was six years old, you encouraged me to climb trees. You keep praising me and encouraging me to climb higher, the more delicious things you will buy me.
I just climbed and climbed until I reached the top of the tree, until I felt that the branches under my feet were so thin that I was about to fall.
Remember? I shouted desperately: I want to come down, I'm going to fall.
But you are still encouraging me with delicious food and let me keep climbing.
How stupid I must have been to listen to you and be tempted by you, and forget that I was in danger.
I gritted my teeth and kept climbing.
As a result, it was natural to fall.
I still fell according to you.
But you hid.
Fortunately, Xiao Xiaoyu's father passed by and picked me up.
Fortunately, he kneaded dough every day and had the strength to do so.
Fortunately, I am small, and the climbing position is only very high in my opinion, but in fact it is only a little more than three meters.
I'm glad I didn't crush the bad guys.
It was also after that that that that I became friends with Xiaoyu.
Brother, my life is big enough, right?
Afterwards I asked you why you were hiding, and you were four years older than me, and you could have caught me, but you hid.
You said you weren't hiding. You said that you heard what seemed to be a mother's voice calling us, and your feet moved.
I believed. Hehe, I believe it. β
