Chapter 14: Prison

Gu Qing said: "I still have another question, is I the only one named 'Gu Qing' in Jiangcheng, if not, why must that letter be given to me?"

The two officials thought to themselves, how could others dare to have so many questions when they saw them in the past. It's just that they don't know how big Gu Qing is after all, and they don't dare to have the slightest anger, so as not to get into trouble.

"Lord Warden has ordered us to come and invite you, and please Mr. Gu not to embarrass us. Then the official who spoke said.

Fang Wanqiu walked over and said, "Mr. Gu Qing, I'll go with you." ”

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "It shouldn't be fine, you help me take care of the house, and I'll come back when I'm done." ”

Fang Wanqiu said: "It's okay, I'll send someone to help you watch." ”

She whistled, and after a while, more than a dozen family members came in the courtyard, all of them agile and angry.

The two officials were terrified, and they remembered some rumors about the Fang family.

Seeing Fang Wanqiu like this, Gu Qing knew that he couldn't refuse, so he said, "Okay." ”

Fang Wanqiu called another carriage, and the two officials also came on horseback, and after a short time, they entered the city and came to the official office to meet the warden lord.

This warden is about forty years old, dressed in the soap clothes of a lower-level official, with a Chinese face, and a majesty between his eyebrows, but not official authority.

Gu Qing knew very well that this was the momentum that had been cultivated naturally by Xing Prison for a long time.

The prison obviously recognized Fang Wanqiu, and greeted Fang Wanqiu first. Xu was because of Fang Wanqiu, he said to Gu Qing and said: "The deceased's name is Wang Yu, in his early fifties, he was a famous loser in Jiangcheng when he was young, and later after losing his family business, he suddenly became a Taoist priest, but this person became crazy as a Taoist priest, so there was no Taoist temple to contain him.

He often appeared in the city to sell people prescriptions for longevity, at first there were people who believed him, bought a few times, but after eating, all of them were diarrhea or headaches and eye fever, and the owner later found someone to teach him a lesson, and he did not repent, but those who were familiar with him knew that this person sold fake prescriptions, so few people were deceived.

In recent years, Wang Yu has appeared less and less in the city, and he was found dead in front of an antique shop on East Street early this morning. Except for a robe that had not been washed for a long time, he only had this letter. ”

The warden took out a letter in his hand, and on the cover was the words "Gu Qing personally opened".

After Gu Qing saw it, he was slightly shocked in his heart, this was Lu Li's handwriting.

Lu Li's characters were taught by him, so Gu Qing would not admit his mistakes.

Gu Qing remained silent and asked, "How can Lord Warden be sure that this Gu Qing is below?"

The warden smiled, "The paper of this letter is the best Yunxuan. ”

Fang Wanqiu interjected: "The best Yunxuan is monopolized by the government, and every sale must be registered and recorded. ”

The warden said: "Miss Fang is right, the registered address of the purchaser of this superb Yunxuan is Mr. Gu Qing's current residence. ”

Gu Qing said: "In this way, if you want to say that this letter has nothing to do with me, I'm afraid I won't believe it myself, can you show me the letter?"

"Of course you can." ”

He handed the letter to Gu Qing.

The fire paint is still there, and it should not have been removed.

But Gu Qing quickly judged that this fire paint had just been put on not long ago. If there was originally fire paint on the letter, it would naturally not be able to hide it from Gu Qing.

In this way, the letter originally did not have fire paint, and this fire paint was newly added, so the most likely person is the warden in front of him. Did he read the letter?

Gu Qing pressed his doubts, opened the envelope, and took out the letterhead.

"Why is there nothing on it?Lord Ding, what did you do?" Fang Wanqiu asked in surprise after reading the contents of the letter.

With her identity, she is not afraid of offending a prison.

Ding Dianjiao said: "This fire paint has not been touched by me, Miss Fang should be able to see it." ”

Gu Qing said: "Lord Warden really hasn't touched the fire paint, maybe this letter is a joke, didn't Lord Warden say that this Daoist Priest is crazy?"

His fingers rubbed lightly against the letter, but his eyes were fixed on the prison.

Although the letter paper was blank, there was a problem, and with Gu Qing's experience, there was a potion on the stationery. And it is a colorless and odorless potion.

The letter is by no means blank, but it is not clear whether it is water or fire or some other means to make it visible. Gu Qing said to himself.

Ding Dianjiao didn't see anything from Gu Qing's face, he was a little disappointed, and he said, "This is a murder, I don't think it's a joke." ”

Fang Wanqiu said, "Do you suspect that Gu Qing is the murderer? ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "Xia Guan didn't mean this, he just wanted to ask this Mr. Xiao Gu to answer some doubts." ”

Gu Qing said: "If you have anything to say, please ask." ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "Does Mr. Xiao Gu know Wang Yu?"

Gu Qing shook his head and said, "I've never seen him. ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "Then at least you should know this person, please don't deny it." If Mr. Xiao Gu didn't know him, in the face of such a murder, his first reaction would be to clear up his own involvement, but you didn't do it. ”

Gu Qing said: "I did hear about it from a friend, but the murder was definitely not done by me." There is a curfew in the city, and the meal I had at Miss Fang's house last night returned to my home after eating, and Miss Fang was with me this morning. ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "I believe what you say, I just want to ask you if there are any clues to provide to me." ”

After he spoke, he bowed solemnly to Gu Qing and said, "Wang Yu's father once helped his father, and his life is at stake, I don't want him to die in vain." ”

Gu Qing hesitated for a moment and said, "Can you let me go and see his corpse?"

He then added: "I know a little bit about the punishment, and there are some things that I have to meet before I can make a judgment. ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "If Mr. Xiao Gu doesn't mind, I am naturally willing to take you there, as for Miss Fang, do you want to avoid it?" I'm afraid that the yin qi of the morgue will collide with you." ”

Fang Wanqiu said: "My family has been a general for generations, and I won't be afraid of these, I will also go." ”

Ding Dianjiao said: "In that case, let's go to the morgue now." ”

Gu Qing returned the envelope and stationery to Ding Dianjiao, he knew that it was impossible for the other party to let him take this kind of evidence. Now Gu Qing wanted to go to the morgue the most, because he also wanted to confirm his other idea.

The morgue was not too far away, and it took about a quarter of an hour for a few people to arrive.

At this time, there was an inquest of the body.

Ding Dian ordered him to stop what he was doing first.

Gu Qing stepped forward and saw this Taoist priest named "Wang Harm". He was dressed in a sloppy robe, with a short beard and gray hair.

He reached out and touched the Taoist priest's face.

He said, "Don't touch him," he said. ”

Gu Qing's hand was quickly withdrawn after hearing the words, but no one knew that a trace of green qi had penetrated into Gu Qing's body, and a picture was appearing in Gu Qing's mind at this moment:

In the cold night, the Taoist priest Wang Yan leaned against the door of an antique shop, his lips purple.

And this antique shop is the one where Gu Qing bought the wooden Buddha statue.
