HCB Chapter 224 Note
Chapter 224 Note
After the scene was under control, County Magistrate Sang sent someone down to take a look.
The secret room was not deep. People standing at the edge and looking down could see the entire room at a glance.
The whole thing is square, with some iron boxes inside and nothing else.
Wait, it’s not like there’s nothing.
On an iron box, there was a piece of paper.
Because the paper was placed alone on top of the iron box, it looked quite conspicuous.
The black-clad constable brought up an iron box, and the piece of paper on the box was also brought up.
County Magistrate Sang took the paper and began to read it.
Xie Yunhe was standing aside, also looking at the paper.
When he saw this, his expression changed.
Written on the paper was this: "Before, Mr. Qin committed many evil deeds. Now, a pair of thieves are here to rid the people of this evil!"
The content on this piece of paper is so arrogant that everyone knows that the male and female thieves have been here!
And this piece of paper reveals more than just that.
If this was left behind by the male and female thieves, then their action was a direct admission that they were the murderers of Master Qin.
“I didn’t expect the murderer to be a thief and a thief!”
Captain Wen said with sudden enlightenment.
In Wen Fuman's view, the situation is now very clear.
Both the male and female thieves directly revealed that they were the murderers.
He even left a note of provocation!
Who else could be the murderer but them?
It all makes sense again!
All he needs to do is infer the process from the results.
It's easy!
Captain Wen stood in the study and confidently began his third round of reasoning.
"Everyone, I've seen through their modus operandi!"
"As everyone knows, the male and female thieves always come and go without a trace. No one has ever been able to catch them. Some even say they are the same person, sometimes dressed as men and sometimes as women. However, these rumors are unimportant. What matters is that they are very skilled in Qinggong."
"If the murderers were a pair of thieves, then the signs of damage to the window and the guards' failure to detect the murderers would explain their exceptional martial arts skills, which made it impossible for the guards to detect them."
"Last night, they entered the study through the window and attacked Master Qin, who was poisoned by the chicken soup. They then left a note in the secret room and then used their Qinggong skills to float away."
Captain Wen knocked his left hand with his right hand.
"Yes, that's the whole process of the crime."
His chubby face showed nine parts of confidence and one part of arrogance, and this confident look made him look very reliable.
Everyone unconsciously followed Captain Wen's line of thought.
Even though his previous reasoning had failed twice in a row, Captain Wen remained undaunted and continued to get up from where he had fallen.
The third reasoning still sounds reasonable, especially when the evidence is solid.
After hearing this reasoning, Xie Yunhe no longer wanted to talk.
Fortunately, no one knew that he was one of the big thieves, otherwise the suspect's hat would be firmly pinned on his head.
By the way, how is it that Captain Wen's reasoning is both reasonable and outrageous, and at the same time so far from the truth?
Xie Yunhe looked at Captain Wen, who had become the center of attention for a moment, and fell into deep thought.
As for why he didn't suspect that it was done by a couple of thieves?
Is not this nonsensical?
There are only two male and female thieves, and Xie Yunhe has never done it.
As for the other person...
At that time, Ling Jiaojiao was still in the closet in Xie Yunhe's bedroom and had no time to commit the crime.
So, what's with that note?
I heard everyone discussing the note found in the secret room and the reasoning given by Captain Wen.
In the crowd, a girl in a red dress also had a gloomy expression on her face.
Ling Jiaojiao's gaze fell on the paper in County Magistrate Sang's hand, and her eyes seemed to stare through the paper.
Who is it?
Which bastard dares to frame someone?
Ling Jiaojiao also knew in her heart that she did not kill Master Qin.
Because the guards in the study were so strict, even she couldn't bypass the guards and sneak into the study without leaving a trace.
Ling Jiaojiao looked towards the study window.
Outside the wooden window is the back of the study, which is the back of the yard, and there is indeed a visual blind spot.
But if you walk a little further, you will still fall into the guards' sight.
She had just arrived at the Qin Mansion and didn't know any of this. She didn't even know there was a hidden window behind the study.
How could he do what Captain Wen said, that is, to kill someone and then float away through the window?
Ling Jiaojiao sneered.
From this, it can be inferred that the murderer must be well aware of these secrets and may be someone in the Qin Mansion.
Thinking of this, her eyes fell on the people from the Qin Mansion standing beside her.
Leading the group were Mr. Qin's children.
Both of them are outstanding people, the woman is gentle and generous, and the man is handsome and elegant.
Ling Jiaojiao's gaze passed over Wen Zhizhi and fell on Qin Yu.
Both of them were suspects in her mind.
Compared to Wen Zhizhi, she was more suspicious of the young master Qin who was rumored to be in an affair with her partner.
Perhaps he noticed someone was looking at him, Qin Yu turned his head slightly and looked in the direction of the gaze.
When Qin Yu found that it was a woman in a red dress looking at him, his expression remained normal and he did not look surprised at all.
He looked at Ling Jiaojiao and smiled at her.
In Ling Jiaojiao's direction, all the people in the martial arts world who witnessed this smile were amazed by it.
It is said that the young master Qin of the Qin Mansion is extremely handsome and rare in the world. It is true!
Everyone around her seemed to be intoxicated by the handsome man's smile, but Ling Jiaojiao had a bad premonition.
At this moment, two black-clad detectives walked towards Ling Jiaojiao.
Seeing the black-clad detectives representing the government, everyone near Ling Jiaojiao consciously moved away.
I suddenly felt something was wrong.
Ling Jiaojiao also wanted to leave, but had just taken two steps.
She was surrounded by the black-clad detectives.
"Ling Jiaojiao, right? Come with us!"
Ling Jiaojiao took a deep breath and asked the black-clad detectives:
"My Lords, what do you want from me?"
One of the black-clad constables said with a cold expression:
"We found valuables from the Qin Mansion's study in your wing room. We now suspect you are involved with the thieves. Please cooperate with the investigation."
what?
How come there were valuables from the Qin Mansion’s study in her room?
She didn't even have time to do anything.
Ling Jiaojiao was shocked, and it naturally showed on her face.
The two black-clad detectives felt a little hesitant when they saw that Ling Jiaojiao's shock did not seem fake.
But the result of the investigation was like this, so they still followed the rules and brought Ling Jiaojiao, who had the Qin family's property in the side room, to the presence of County Magistrate Sang.
"Sir, we have already arrived."
The black-clad detectives bowed to Magistrate Sang.
Ling Jiaojiao came in front of County Magistrate Sang and stood with Xie Yunhe and Chu Yuanzhou.
"Are you the legendary bandit?"
County Magistrate Sang was busy at this time. While listening to his subordinates' reports, he looked at Ling Jiaojiao.
Just now, the black-clad detective who was searching for clues in the outer courtyard brought back news that shocked everyone.
They found a large amount of valuables from the Qin Mansion in a wing room. After identification by Butler Ji, they confirmed that the gold, silver and jewelry were indeed Mr. Qin's.
According to Butler Ji, he didn't know where Master Qin hid the property in the mansion.
However, the red jade and coral hairpins, purple jade hairpins, dragon-shaped jade bracelets, etc. that were found in the side rooms were only recently presented to Master Qin.
Butler Ji has a deep memory of this.
"It was sent by another small family that has a vassal relationship with the Qin Mansion. The purpose is twofold: to obtain the protection of Master Qin, and to congratulate him on holding the martial arts conference."
"So they didn't dare to be negligent and chose only the finest and rarest items. Among this batch of gifts, there were several ornaments with very unique designs. I remember them very clearly."
So, how come these valuables that should have been put away by Master Qin were found in the rooms in the outer courtyard?
These gold, silver and jewelry will not run away. The only possibility is that they were taken away by someone.
So, who is it?
Combined with the note found in the secret room of the study, everyone thought for a moment and came to a conclusion.
This batch of property was stolen by someone, and this person may very well be the legendary male and female thieves!
Soon, County Magistrate Sang found out who lived in that room.
She was a female knight named Ling Jiaojiao.
This is what it means to ask the black-clad constable to bring the person over.
At the same time, the iron box in the secret room was violently opened by the black-clad detectives.
Part of the iron box was empty, but the pearls in the corner of the box seemed to prove that it was a treasure chest.
Hey!
Everyone looked at Ling Jiaojiao, and it turned out that this was the man who had stolen the Qin Mansion's property!
After stealing, he even killed Master Qin. How arrogant he was.
If Master Qin's affair had not been discovered early, she would not have had time to transfer her belongings and would not have been caught on the spot by the police.
In just a moment, Ling Jiaojiao understood the meaning of everyone's gaze.
What a familiar scene.
When Chu Yuanzhou was accused of poisoning, Ling Jiaojiao felt gloating, but she didn't expect that the situation would change and it would be her turn so soon.
The problem is that she really didn't do it!
Suddenly he carried a big pot on his back.
Ling Jiaojiao felt extremely aggrieved.
Putting aside the fact that she didn't do it, even if she did, she wouldn't have so carelessly left her belongings in her own room.
Isn’t this the three hundred taels of silver that are missing here?
Someone wants to frame her!
Ling Jiaojiao gritted her teeth and thought, don't let her know who did it.
Otherwise, she would make sure that the other person would not see the sun the next day!
On the side, the black-clad detective was still opening the box.
Some bottles and jars were placed in some of the iron boxes. When the black-clad constable opened them, he found that there was something like a blood-colored potion inside.
Another part of the iron boxes contained some books and papers, including silver bills and land deeds.
The key point is the books inside. They are not ordinary books, but martial arts secrets.
"This is actually the secret martial arts manual of the major families!"
"How did Master Qin obtain this? There are actually quite a few secret manuals from aristocratic families that have disappeared."
"'Chen Family Secret Manual', 'Xie Family Swordsmanship'... Let me see... There are at least dozens of secret manuals here!"
"This...this...Is Master Qin related to those dozen or so Jianghu extermination incidents ten years ago?"
Xie Yunhe's attention was also attracted over.
When he saw the book "Xie Family Swordsmanship", his eyes widened.
He pushed through the crowd and walked forward, wanting to take a closer look at the "Xie Family Swordsmanship".
"What are you doing? Don't touch me!"
The black-clad constable scolded.
"It's okay, let him see."
The voice of County Magistrate Sang came from the side.
It wasn't just Xie Yunhe who lost his composure when he saw the secret book in the iron box; there were also people in the crowd who did the same.
Some people from the martial arts world who were related to these secret realms came forward and carefully examined the secret books.
After a while, someone exclaimed:
"Yes, this is the secret book that my family lost!"
From time to time, someone would cry or shed tears.
"Seventh Uncle, you can rest in peace now. Your family's secret manual has been found."
"This must be related to Master Qin. I beg the county magistrate to make the decision for us!"
"My cousin's family was murdered ten years ago, and the family secret manual disappeared. I have been searching for the murderer, and now the matter has finally come to a conclusion."
Of course, most of the people from the martial arts world who came to watch the ceremony were not unknown people.
Many of them are famous knights in the martial arts world.
Some of them were victims of a family massacre that caused a sensation in the underworld ten years ago.
Unfortunately, we couldn't find the culprit at that time. Unexpectedly, the lost secret books are now lying in the secret room of Master Qin's study.
It goes without saying who the culprit behind the family massacre is.
The black-clad detectives controlled a group of gangsters who wanted to stab Mr. Qin's body with swords.
The scene was in chaos for a while.
County Magistrate Sang sat on the table and chairs brought by his subordinates and slammed the gavel in his hand.
"Snapped!"
The gavel fell on the wooden table with a loud noise.
"Quiet!"
"If you make any more noise, I'll throw you out!"
County Magistrate Sang is still very prestigious in Gulan County.
As soon as these words came out.
The chaos in the study was under control.
The black-clad detectives quickly cleaned up the scene and drove away anyone near the iron box.
The last person to leave was a blind young man in green clothes.
When they saw this young man, the black-clad detectives would soften their attitude a little. After all, everyone knew the owner of Gulan Bookstore, Chen.
She is good-looking, but unfortunately she has an eye disease.
The young man in green was touching a book titled "Chen's Secret Book" with his hand.
After realizing that everyone around him had been driven away by the black-clad detectives, he stood up slowly and walked to the side.
Thanks to the efforts of the black-clad detectives, the iron boxes were neatly placed aside.
After reading the book "Xie Family Swordsmanship", Xie Yunhe was convinced that this was the swordsmanship book that his family had lost.
The "Twenty-Four Solar Terms Sword" written inside is exactly the sword technique that Xie Yunhe has been practicing since he was a child.
He put the sword technique back into the iron box, because County Magistrate Sang said that he would send someone to verify the identity and then return the secret book.
Now County Magistrate Sang was also explaining the purpose of driving people away to the rioting crowd.
"I don't care what your relationship is to these secret books. The government will send people to verify them and return them one by one."
"You guys are crowding in there. Firstly, you're hindering the investigation at the scene. Secondly, if someone wants to take advantage of the situation and steal the secret manual, no one will be able to detect them."
County Magistrate Sang spoke.
What she said makes sense.
Moreover, this matter has caught the attention of the government, and County Magistrate Sang has also promised to properly handle the secret book.
In this way, no one will have any objections.
County Magistrate Sang glanced at everyone's faces.
"Then, let's restart the trial of Master Qin's case!"
