(This chapter is six thousand, and there is only one chapter today, and there will be more in the future)

Today is the fourth day of the fifth month.

Qiao Xi looked at the sunny sun outside the window, and combed her hair seriously in front of the bronze mirror sent by Hu Buxi.

Her hair is stiff, often knotted, and occasionally curled. She didn't know what was wrong with it, and her adoptive mother said it might be because she lived in the north as a child and was a child with the grassland. The wind is strong on the grassland, a gust of wind blows, and thousands of grass blades dance, like a vast ocean.

Qiao Xi combed his hair smoothly, didn't tie his hair well, and tied a red rope at the end. She looked left and right in the mirror, then opened the drawer again, took out a box of dusty powder, and gently flapped it on her cheek.

Seeing that his pale and thin cheeks were gradually rosy, Qiao Xi breathed a sigh of relief. stood up, finally looked at himself in front of the mirror with his skirt reaching to the floor, straightened the broken hair on his forehead, grabbed the small bag on the bed, and pushed the door out.

The sun is shining in the hospital.

Qiao Xi suddenly missed the girl named Dailou Sangyu. After going to Yuhang, I haven't seen him for many days.

Under the tree in the courtyard, the girl in red stood in the shadows, looking up at Qiao Xi.

Qiao Xi was stunned.

An Qing took a deep breath, and the hand behind her clenched the drawing paper given by Zhao Wu'an. On that piece of paper, every case, every clue, every technique, he listed it in great detail.

An Qing immediately understood why Zhao Wu'an had to hide it from Hu Buxi.

"The people who killed Xu Tangli, Pang Hai, Guo Feng, Deng Lei, Shi Huan, Zheng Rong, Xiao Donglai, and Luo Guanhai are you, Qiao Xi?

Qiao Xi's face didn't have much of a surprised expression, just a slight startle, and asked, "Who is He Yanshan?"

It seems that I still can't remember the past. An Qing sighed silently in her heart, knowing that the enemy in front of her was very difficult, and said angrily: "I said that you are a murderer, do you approve of it?"

"Not recognized. "Qiao Xiyun is light and the wind is light.

"Okay, then let's start from the beginning, from the moment you approve!"

After all, there are only two people in the courtyard, and An Qing's mood is getting more and more nervous until now, and the challenge of revealing the truth to her and the difficulty of stating the process of committing the crime is like a heavy punch to her heart.

But you can't lose. Although she An Qing is not as good as Zhao Wu'an in fighting, she can't bow her head in courage.

An Qing said: "First of all, Xu Tangli's death, the case is like this. He was found in his bed, charred, but the rest of the furniture in the house was undamaged, the autopsy was not found to be poisoned, and the remnants of fire oil were found in a large porcelain jar on one side. Xu Tang is withdrawn from this person, does not have much contact with his neighbors, and lives alone with a thin figure. In fact, judging from the back alone, you put on a shabby dress, which is extremely similar to Xu Tangli. ”

"So, this is how you killed Xu Tangli: one night, you used incense to make him unconscious, and then immersed him in a porcelain jar full of fire oil, sealed the bottle cap, leaving only a small hole for him to breathe, and waited for the poison in his body to degrade, which lasted about one to two days. During this time, you pretended to be Xu Tangli and went out normally, deliberately being noticed by neighbors, and faked the signs that Xu Tangli was still going out normally the day before the self-immolation. When he is dying, you throw the match through the hole where he breathes and light the flame. Xu Tangli, who has been imprisoned for several days, is hard to scream even if he is burned in flames, and he is burned alive by you. After the flame is extinguished, you grab the large porcelain jar and collapse him on the bed, and then leave his room with the lid of the porcelain jar. ”

Qiao Xi tilted his head sideways, puzzled: "Such a heavy man, how can I have the strength to lift him up?"

"You just look weak. An Qing plucked up the courage to go-for-tat, "Zhao Wu'an and Hu Buxi have both carried you, and they both lamented that you are much heavier than women of the same age." This is not just a joke, but because your body is intensively worked, and although it is thin, it is very powerful. ”

Qiao Xi snorted: "Go on." I don't admit it. ”

"To pick up Xu Tangli, you only need to lift the porcelain jar slightly to make the corpse slide down. But Pang Hai was a big fat man, and dragging him to the beach on his back to drown, and then dragging him back to the bottom of the embankment, was obviously much more laborious. An Qing continued, "So, Pang Hai didn't die in the sea. ”

"Most people are misled by preconceived prejudices. Pang Hai was damp all over, with salt water in his lungs, apparently drowned in the sea. But he was missing a key thing - aquatic plants. Even in the seawater near the shore, as long as there is a place where people can drown, there are swarms of aquatic plants that are easy to inhale, but Pang Hai's lungs are clean, and there is nothing but salt water. Pang Hai is lustful, so you use this characteristic to lure him away from his family, meet you alone, and put Xu Tangli's ring in the wine. Pang Hai likes to drink in large gulps, and after the ring fell into his throat, he couldn't call for help, and was pressed by you to drown in a vat of seawater that had been prepared long ago. Then, all you have to do is carry him on your back, sneak up to the embankment, throw it down, and you're done. The whole process of throwing the body did not even require a stick of incense, and everyone would think that the murderer drowned him in the sea and then dragged him to the embankment. ”

Qiao Xi nodded, "Oh." ”

An Qing took a long breath, stared at Qiao Xi, and said non-stop: "The death of Pang Hai and Xu Tangli, Guo Feng must have realized it and taken precautions. He wanted to come to Hangzhou to discuss countermeasures with Zheng Rong, and you lived with Zheng Rong for a long time when you were a teenager, and his small order was widely circulated among the women of the Qinglou. With these two points, it will not be a problem for you to pretend to be Zheng Rong's handwriting and trick Guo Feng out of the city. Guo Feng will inevitably hide his old affairs from his family, so when he goes out of the city to see you, he is also alone.

"Then, you slammed Guo Feng on the back of the head with Yu Ruyi, should you say that you were lucky, or did you really have a lot of strength in your wrist? Guo Feng was knocked down by you, maybe he was not stunned, after all, he is a boxer, and as soon as he turns around, he will come and snatch the murder weapon in your hand. But once he comes to chase you, he will step on your trap and be hung upside down from a tree. You can take this opportunity to slam Guo Feng on the back of the head, and when he is unconscious, then put a rope around his neck, strangle him to death, and finally drop the trap rope that trapped him and hang him back into the tree. The multiple strangulation marks on Guo Feng's neck and the strangulation marks on his ankles came from this way. ”

Qiao Xi's face was unfazed, leaning against the door, gently shaking the bags behind him.

Deng Lei had nothing to say, he died too simply. After you killed Guo Feng, you marched to Deng Lei's side, almost across the entire Liangzhejiang, ambushed on the side of the mountain road, and waited for Deng Lei to receive Zheng Rong's news and go down the mountain. The little monk was innocent, and he was asked to carry the affairs of his ancestors, so he naturally recited the Diamond Sutra nervously. The mountain road is empty, and you can easily kill it by smashing it with a stone from behind. ”

She looked up at Qiao Xi and said bitterly, "I just don't understand why you hate them so much." A little monk who has never done anything in the world has to be smashed to a blur of flesh and blood before he will give up. ”

Qiao Xi snorted: "Do you have any evidence?"

"The dents on the window rails of Xiao Donglai and Luo Guanhai are the ones left by your clogs. The soles of the shoes have a sturdy and delicate heart, and they make a beautiful sound when they walk, and if you step on the fragile wood, you will immediately step on the wooden fence and leave traces. The most important thing is the lonely mountain, claiming to be the water tank in your house. A young woman, usually talking about drinking water, even if she is groomed and dressed, she can't do without a jar of clean water. Why is there a huge water tank in your room, but it is covered with dust? There is only one explanation, you have already parted ways with Zheng Rong, and you have never even been his adopted daughter, and that is just an excuse for you. An Qing said, "Jiang Xinzhu, as one of the few people you want to kill, felt the danger and came to find Zheng Rong, but she didn't expect her husband to come with her. The place where Zheng Rong spilled a large pool of blood is in front of your house, and standing next to the house and stabbing Zheng Rong, the couple in the bamboo forest is invisible. Jiang Xinzhu knew that the avenger was nearby, so he didn't dare to go out, he only dared to hide in the bamboo forest, and you burst into tears while chasing Zheng Rong, so as to mislead the other witnesses on the lonely mountain. After that, you can even claim to be Zheng Rong's adopted daughter to infiltrate the government and completely erase your suspicion. This plan is simply seamless. ”

Qiao Xi turned his face to the side and said calmly: "Forget about everything else, how can I kill Xiao Donglai?" Not to mention that he is a third-grade master, he can't be compared with Guo Feng at all. I hadn't left the banquet at the time of the crime, so how could I kill Xiao Donglai?"

"That's where the best is true. Zheng Rong's case may still be suspicious, but Xiao Dong's move can almost be said to have led all the suspicions to unrelated people at once. An Qing said word by word, and her heart was still full of disbelief until now. How can a person be so vicious?

"Before Xiao Donglai died, he was poisoned. This is the same poison as Shi Huan's, boiling mulberries in an iron pot and adding half a penny of nightshade. Although it is not fatal, it can make people's heart rate increase and their minds are confused. Shi Huan is a Wensheng and the effect is not obvious, but once it is used on a martial artist like Xiao Donglai, the effect is like a jade burning - the dantian is chaotic, and in a short period of time, the internal strength is lost.

"Whether it was osmanthus cake or wine, no poison was found in the things that Xiao Donglai ate that night. But you once went into the kitchen with us to help make desserts, and you added ingredients to it, so that the osmanthus cake tasted sweet but not greasy, but it was so dry that even drinking alcohol could not quench your thirst. Xiao Donglai was drunk and didn't want to go far, so he went straight to the east courtyard and drank in the water tank at the base of the wall. You only need to add poison to the first water tank when you are admitted to the hospital, and you can poison Xiao Donglai.

After that, Luo Guanhai's house burned down. There were actually two ignition points. At the beginning, the fire was next to the window, where Xiao Donglai fell. Smear the ground with fire oil, stack a few pillars of sandalwood on top, if the incense burns out, the sparks on the lead platform will fall and ignite the fire oil. As long as the time is calculated, the fire can be lit again after Xiao Dong comes to the East Courtyard. It's actually not that difficult, because you're personally involved in making the pastry, and you know very well when the osmanthus cake will be served. Mrs. Meng has also mentioned more than once that Xiao Donglai loves to eat osmanthus cakes, so as long as the osmanthus cakes are served, Xiao Donglai will definitely drink water to quench his thirst within a stick of incense.

Since the fire point was in front of the window, it was impossible for Xiao Donglai to turn a blind eye, he immediately lifted the water tank in his hand, and a tank of water slammed into the window. But the poison had already set in, and his strength was insufficient, and the water tank fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces, and the thing you poisoned disappeared without a trace in an instant. ”

Qiao Xi smiled: "These, I'm afraid the one surnamed Zhao taught you, right?"

An Qing didn't pay attention to her, and continued in one go: "Luo Guanhai has never appeared, Xiao Donglai remembers this, and besides, the house will not spontaneously combust for no reason, Xiao Donglai was worried that Luo Guanhai was in the house, so he immediately opened the window and broke in, leaving that larger dent. And the smaller ones were left before when you broke into the house after everyone had gone to the feast.

Xiao Donglai, who entered the room, almost exhausted his internal strength, stepped on the fire oil, barely extinguished the flames, but at the same time, he also trampled on the ashes left over from the burning of the sandalwood you erected. After that, Xiao Donglai was worried that Luo Guanhai was sleeping in the back room, so he reached out and opened the door of the back room - this action killed him.

"Facing the back room is a shrine, above which you have the knife used to assassinate Zheng Rong, and thread two cotton threads through the knife ring, around the window bar behind you, all the way to the doorknob. Then he used two open fire folds to lattice the sides of the handle, adjusting the orientation so that it could hit Xiao Donglai's chest. The thread can only be stretched once, after which the actual length will not change, but when it is stretched to the previous length a second time, it will definitely break. You just used this common sense to kill Xiao Donglai, the next person to open the door, after successfully leaving the room and closing the door.

"If it was Xiao Donglai in his heyday, he might be able to escape this knife. But at this time, Xiao Donglai's body was highly poisonous, and his internal strength was lost, and he barely lifted the water tank and turned over the window railing, which was already the end of the crossbow. Opening the door, perhaps having exhausted his last strength, a sudden knife at this moment immediately stabbed into Xiao Donglai's chest. He fell to the ground and never got up, and the reason why the knife in his chest was horizontal was not because the murderer was good at using a one-handed knife, but because it was placed horizontally on the shrine. The blood stains on Xiao Donglai's body that fell in front of the back room covered the fire oil, making it difficult to be noticed, and after the long knife flew out, the fire fold that was brought down rolled to the ground, and the sparks splashed ignited the straw in the house, which was the second fire point. The two cotton threads broke and rolled to the ground, curled by the heat, and never recovered, so that even if they were added up, they would not be enough to wrap between the door and the window railing. In this way, you eliminate almost all the evidence, except for the depression in the window. ”

Qiao Xi didn't answer this time.

An Qing made persistent efforts and said: "As for Luo Guanhai, you can be said to have brought your acting skills to the extreme. First you said you wanted to drink and invited us to go with you, and then we passed the time and waited for it to get dark, and you went straight to Luo Guanhai's house. Like tempting Pang Hai, you climbed directly into Luo Guanhai's bed, and the red candle in his bedroom must also be your handiwork. Luo Guanhai is just a scholar, and the beautiful woman is in front of him, and the beautiful thoughts in his heart are naturally inevitable. But in the end, he should have seen through your true purpose and rushed out. It's a pity that he was shot by you before he could shout for help. The weapon you used was extremely special, standing at the door of the bedroom, you shot six shots from afar, stabbing Luo Guanhai to death.

"And then comes the best part. You should have been in a situation where there was no way out, and anyone would choose to escape through the window, but instead you hid in the study at the front of the bedroom, threw your weapon under the window outside the bedroom, and then locked the window and curled up in the dark study. When Hu Buxi drew a knife to chase the murderer, he was actually only a foot away from you. Luo Guanhai died in front of the door, blocking the way into the house, and after what happened to Yan Hong during the day, you are sure that Zhao Wu'an will not leave me to act alone. So as long as Hu Buxi, who is thunderous and fast, leaves, Zhao Wuan and I will both go to find someone. At this point, you open the window, jump out of the door, and then estimate the time, scream, and pretend to be unconscious at the stone table. ”

An Qing raised her finger: "The flaw is that the place where Luo Guanhai died is only about twenty steps away from the stone table, if you come directly from the courtyard, you should be able to see the corpse from a distance." Running to the stone table is your negligence. In addition, the windows of the study could not be closed from the outside, so we had a situation where one was open and the other was closed, and when we came back, both were open. Ordinary people may be confused, but Zhao Wuan, how can he be an ordinary person. ”

Qiao Xi quipped, "Do you really like that lazy layman?"

An Qing, who was talking eloquently, blushed, closed her eyes and said, "I don't like it." Besides, he's not lazy. ”

Qiao Xi smiled lightly: "It's really interesting." I thought that Zhao Wu'an was lacking in skills, but I didn't expect him to let a little girl come and arrest me. ”

As she spoke, she had already moved her lotus steps lightly and walked towards the bottom of the tree. An Qing unconsciously took a step back, and her back hit the trunk of the tree. She forced herself to calm down, pretending to be angry: "Stay away from me!"

Qiao Xi smiled like a hibiscus out of the water, although his face was moving, his smile was terrifying, and he said softly: "Why bluff? I have already killed so many people, and I don't care about another life." ”

An Qing shook her head and said, "No, you care." ”

"You've only known me for a few days, even if Hu doesn't like me, I can act on the spot, you little girl, do you think you can influence me?" Qiao Xi's voice was like magic, An Qing was imprisoned in place, and she couldn't take a step.

An Qing shook her head desperately and said loudly: "That's not right!"

After shouting these words, her cold sweat had soaked her whole body. What she wants to say next is her own speculation that Zhao Wu'an did not mention on the scroll.

She didn't know if she was right, but she had to give it a try. Because she believes that the Qiao Xi she has come into contact with these days is not just a killer with bloody hands. Before she became a killer, she must have been a teenage girl at least.

"Your methods of killing Xu Tangli, Pang Hai, and Deng Lei's people are cruel and tyrannical, which shows the depth of your hatred for them. An Qing's voice was trembling, and she reached out and grabbed the bark behind her tightly, "They had no connection originally, and the only connection was that when Xiliang was working for the country, he killed a commander." You are the descendant of the ruler, and you have come to take revenge. Because of them, your life has become displaced, homeless, and bullied by your adoptive father. You work hard, you practice manners, stature, and strength, and you are waiting for revenge. In the beginning, you were killing people on the fourth day of the lunar month every month, and you were waiting for today. On the fourth day of the fifth month, you killed everyone, and today should be the death day of your ancestors. ”

Qiao Xi stopped and stood where she was. An Qing trembled all over, summoned all the courage in her body to look at her, faced the silent pupils, and faced the murderer like a beast, and never took a step back.

After a long time, Qiao Xi smiled coldly.

"Commander, that's what they told you?" Unexpectedly, Qiao Xi's tone sounded like self-deprecation, "That man, he saved the entire Great Song River and Lake, and in order to erase him, they actually made him a mere commander?"

At the end of the word, the tip of her tongue seemed to bite the pearl, and the pieces were broken like glass.

"That man should be the strongest person who broke the hearts of the whole world. He should have stood at the top of the martial arts, and he made great progress, and it was because of him that he developed his sword skills to his current status. Who dared to leave the sword before him?"

Qiao Xi's words made An Qing stunned. Leaving his hand to control the sword, isn't this Zhao Wu'an? In his unsightly box, there are at least five or six flying swords hidden.

Wait a minute. Before seeing Zhao Wu'an control the sword, it seems that An Qing had heard a story about a person when he was a child. That's not so much a story as a legend......

But he made the whole world forget about him. Qiao Xi's voice was cold, like a thousand years of ice, "It's just for his daughter to grow up smoothly and healthily." He was forgotten by the whole world for sixty years. It's a whole month of time! Just because there is a bright moon in the sky and the stars are dim, the moon will turn into a meteor and disappear? Who set the rule? You say, the person who sets this rule should die?"

An Qing was stunned and said, "The person you are talking about is ......"

"The first person to control the sword through the ages, Luo Jian Qi. Qiao Xi said coldly, "He is my grandfather." ”
