Chapter 14 Prison
Gu Qing said: "I have another question. I am the only one named 'Gu Qing' in Jiangcheng? If not, why must the letter be given to me?"
Both yamen runners thought to themselves that when others saw them, they would not dare to have so many questions. But after all, they didn't know how big Gu Qing was, so they didn't dare to be angry at all, so as not to cause trouble.
"The Lord of Prison told us to invite you, and please Mr. Gu not to make us embarrassed." The yamen runner who spoke later said.
Fang Wanqiu came over and said, "Mr. Gu Qing, I will accompany you."
Gu Qing shook his head and said, "It should be fine. Please help me take care of my home. I will come back after I finish."
Fang Wanqiu said: "It's okay, I'll send someone to watch you."
She whistled, and soon more than a dozen servants came into the yard, all of whom were agile and showed evil spirits.
The two yamen runners were frightened to see it, and they remembered some rumors about the Fang family.
Seeing that Fang Wanqiu was like this, Gu Qing knew that he could not refuse, so he said, "Okay."
Fang Wanqiu called another carriage, and the two yamen runners also came on horseback. Soon after, they entered the city and came to the government office to see the jail master.
The prisoner was about forty years old. He was wearing the soap clothes of a lower-level official, with a national face and a sense of majesty between his eyebrows, but he was not an authority.
Gu Qing knew very well that this was the momentum that Xing Zhuo naturally developed after a long time.
The prison obviously recognized Fang Wanqiu and first bowed to Fang Wanqiu to say hello. Perhaps because of Fang Wanqiu, he said to Gu Qing harmoniously: "The deceased is named Wang Hai. He was in his early fifties. When he was young, he was a famous prodigal son in Jiangcheng. Later, after losing his family business, he suddenly became a monk and became a Taoist priest. However, this man became crazy when he became a Taoist priest, so there was no Taoist temple to accommodate him.
He often appeared in the city to sell prescriptions for prolonging life to others. At first, some people believed him and bought it a few times, but after taking it, they all had diarrhea or headache or fever. Someone who was later asked someone to teach him a lesson, but he didn't know how to repent. However, after this incident was spread, few people believed him.
In recent years, Wang Wei has rarely appeared in the city.
He was found dead early this morning at the door of an antique shop on East Street. Except for a Taoist suit that had not been cleaned for a long time, there was only this letter on his body."
The prison took out a letter in his hand, with the words "Gu Qing's Kid" on the cover.
When Gu Qing saw this, he was slightly shocked. This was Lu Li's handwriting.
He taught Lu Li's calligraphy, so Gu Qing would not admit his mistake.
Gu Qing asked without saying a word, "How can the priest master be sure that Gu Qing is here?"
The prison smiled and said, "The paper of this letter is the best Yunxuan."
Fang Wanqiu interjected: "The best Yunxuan is monopolized by the government, and every sale of the photo must be registered."
The prison said: "Ms. Fang said it well. The registered address of this buyer of the best Yunxuan is Mr. Gu Qing's current residence."
Gu Qing said: "In this way, if this letter has nothing to do with me, I am afraid I won't believe it myself. Can you show me the letter?"
The prison said: "Of course."
He handed the letter to Gu Qing.
The fire paint that I believe in is still there, probably has not been removed.
But Gu Qing quickly judged that the hot lacquer had just been put on. If there was originally a hot lacquer on the letter, it would naturally be impossible to hide it from Gu Qing.
In this way, the letter originally had no fire paint, and the fire paint was newly added, so the most likely person is the lord of the prison in front of him. Have he read the letter?
Gu Qing suppressed his doubts, opened the envelope and took out the letter paper.
"Why is there nothing on it? Lord Ding, did you do it?" Fang Wanqiu looked at the content of the letter and asked in surprise.
As her identity, I am not afraid of offending a prison.
Ding Dianyu said: "I have never touched this hot paint, so Miss Fang should be able to see it."
Gu Qing said: "The Lord Zhuo has never touched the fire. Maybe this letter is a joke. Didn't the Lord Zhuo say that this Taoist priest You Fang is crazy?"
He gently rubbed his fingers against the letter paper, but his eyes looked at the prison.
Although the letter paper is blank, there are problems. With Gu Qing's experience, there is a potion on the letter paper, and it is a colorless and odorless potion.
"This letter is definitely not blank, it's just not clear whether it is water or fire, or other ways to make the above content appear." Gu Qing said secretly.
Ding Dianyu didn't see anything from Gu Qing's face, and he was a little disappointed. He said, "This is a murder case, I don't think it's a joke."
Fang Wanqiu said: "Do you suspect Gu Qing is the murderer? He is with me in the morning."
Ding Dianyu said: "The officials don't have this intention, they just want to ask Mr. Gu to answer some questions."
Gu Qing said: "What do you mean by sir? Is that right?"
Ding Dianyu said: "Does Mr. Xiao Gu know Wang Wei?"
Gu Qing shook his head and said, "I have never seen him before."
Ding Dianyu said: "At least you should know this person, please don't deny it. If Mr. Xiao Gu doesn't know him, his first reaction to face such a murder case is to clear his own relationship, but you didn't do this."
Gu Qing said: "I did hear from my friends, but the murder case was definitely not something I did. There is a curfew in the city. Last night I ate at Miss Fang's house. After dinner, I returned to my home. Miss Fang was with me this morning."
Ding Dianyu said: "I believe what you said, just want to ask you if there are any clues that can be provided to me."
After he spoke, he bowed to Gu Qing solemnly and said, "Wang Hai's father once helped his father, and his life is at stake. I don't want him to die indecipherable."
Gu Qing hesitated for a while and said, "Can you let me see his body?"
He then added: "I understand some of the names of punishments, and I will only make a judgment after seeing him some things."
Ding Dianyu said: "If Mr. Xiao Gu doesn't mind, I will naturally be willing to take you there. As for Miss Fang, why don't you please avoid it? I'm afraid that the yin energy in the morgue will hit you."
Fang Wanqiu said: "My family has been a general for generations, and I will not be afraid of these things, I will go too."
Ding Dianyu said: "Since that's the case, let's go to the morgue now."
Gu Qing returned the envelope and letter to Ding Dianyu. He knew that the other party could not let him take such evidence away. Now Gu Qing wanted to go to the morgue most because he wanted to confirm his other idea.
The morgue was not too far away, and several people arrived in about a quarter of an hour.
At this time, a coroner was investigating the body.
Ding Dianyu ordered him to stop his work first.
Gu Qing walked up and saw this Taoist priest You Fang named "Wang Hai". He was wearing a sloppy Taoist robe, with short beards and gray hair.
He reached out and touched the Taoist priest's face.
The coroner said, "Don't touch him."
Gu Qing's hand was quickly withdrawn after hearing the coroner's words, but no one knew that a trace of green energy penetrated into Gu Qing's body, and a picture was now appearing in Gu Qing's mind:
In the cold night, Taoist priest Wang He leaned against the door of an antique shop, his lips turned purple.
