Chapter 68 The Suspect

"Brother Seventh, they died probably between the Shen hour and the You hour yesterday, and the two people in the Qingqiu Pavilion yesterday were definitely not them."

"Are you sure?"

“I’m pretty sure.”

"Well, I think they don't have the ability to harm Brother He. In this way, someone pretended to be them, and they were very realistic, and even Brother He didn't notice it for a while. So Brother He relaxed his vigilance and was attacked."

Gu Qing said: "I think so too. I have another thing I want to trouble Brother Qi. Please go back to the escort agency to bring the escort master. We will completely control the Qingqiu Pavilion."

"This is not difficult, but I am afraid that Mr. Lu will come back, so it is difficult to explain." Du Qi paused and said, "If there is any blame at that time, Brother Gu will push me on. I must do something for Brother He to be at ease. If Brother He had not helped him that day, I would not have taken the marrow washing liquid. Moreover, Brother He has agreed to hand over most of the silver darts, grain darts, and gamblers in his hand to me. Now, Brother He may not be as easy as possible to talk to the person he takes over. So no matter who the murderer is, I will not spare him."

Gu Qing said: "Since Brother Seven is fine, let's start taking action. As for the owner of Luyuan's criticism, it will be a matter for the future, and I'll talk about it later."

Du Qi said in a deep voice: "Okay, I'll go back and dispatch people now."

Du Qi's stintsman were all figures who followed him, licking blood from the edge of the knife. They all followed the orders and had strong ability to move. Sometimes they would take on the job of protecting important people from traveling, and their combat abilities were no worse than those of the elite in the military camp.

This time, Du Qi also brought three cultivators that Gu Qing had met last time. Because Du Qi became the chief escort of the Weiyuan Escort Bureau branch, all of them became important figures in the branch and were Du Qi's capable helpers.

It can be said that in order to investigate the truth, Du Qi has spared no effort this time.

Of course, when Du Qi Qing’s revenge is spread, people on the Tao will only applaud with a thumbs up when they hear it, and their subordinates will be more cohesive.

After all, the escort industry is not only for money, but also for the word "meaning".

The Qingqiu Pavilion included two guards, which were soon controlled by Du Qi's people. Because the people in Luyuan did not have He Qing in charge, there was no leader in the group. Even if there was some power, no one would organize it, so they dared not act rashly.

Moreover, the only Qi is concerned about Qingqiu Pavilion, and he will never take a step forward in other places in Luyuan.

Therefore, even if people are in panic in the park, there is no storm.

However, their actions will definitely be passed on to the owner of Luyuan by the eyes and ears left by the owner of Luyuan.

Du Qi couldn't care about these things. Anyway, he was already the core figure of the Weiyuan Escort Agency, and he was also the one who chased the real murderer for He Qing's death. By then, the owner of Luyuan knew about it and would not be able to deal with him.

Gu Qing sprinkled some medicine powder in He Qing's room, and gradually some footprints appeared inside.

It's complicated and numb to see it.

Gu Qing identified one by one and found the footprints of the two who pretended to be Chunxiang and Dongmei yesterday. However, Chunxiang and Dongmei were not small at first, so the fake people did not make any fuss on their feet. Obviously, they were not afraid that this matter would become their fake flaw.

Of course, it can also be seen that He Qing’s aesthetic taste for feet is very average. Gu Qing still prefers slender feet.

After some distracting thoughts, Gu Qing continued to concentrate. He found his imitation "The Far and the Mountains" in a hidden corner in He Qing's room.

This painting is still lively, but He Qing is gone.

When Gu Qing made a fake that day, he noticed that the original real painting had come to the fake painting he imitated. He asked Yun Niang again and asked about the appearance of another painting. It turned out that the other painting was the painting that He Qing asked Gu Qing to imitate after the purple meeting that day.

Yunniang said that He Qing called the painting "The Sky High and Clouds Light". Recently, He Qing often observed it, so she was deeply impressed.

"I didn't imitate "The Sky is High and Clouds" well enough. "The Water is Far and Mountains Long" is the authentic work, but the charm is with me. Since their goal is these two paintings, they will definitely study them carefully after getting them. As long as you have a little knowledge, you will find abnormalities." Gu Qing thought to himself.

"Since they have taken great pains, if they find something wrong with what they get, they will definitely find a way to explore it again. At least they won't leave Jiangcheng for a short time."

At the same time, Gu Qing also noticed one thing. He could not find the erotic pen that He Qing took at Qingqiu Pavilion. This pen is extremely expensive, and He Qing is most likely to carry it at any time, at least in his own room.

What's more, the extremely shallow thumbprint on the empty box can be left because there are extremely special ink marks on it, which is difficult to wipe clean.

Of course, Gu Qing also found that the thumbprint had traces of treatment, but was limited to the characteristics of the ink mark and could not be completely removed.

What's more, the ink traces are extremely shallow, even if Gu Qing has such eyesight, he needs to observe carefully to discover it.

Therefore, the probability of discovering it is extremely low. However, Gu Qing had used Li Yan pen and had some understanding of its characteristics. He believed that thumb prints are likely to be related to Li Yan pen.

"The murderer is very likely to have taken Li Yan's pen with him. The thumb mark must have been left unconsciously by the murderer when he opened the box. The thumb mark is the thumb of the left hand, which means that his left hand is very likely to be used. But he was careful and soon discovered this, so he made up for it. Maybe he doesn't have the good eyesight as much as me, and he thinks he handled it very cleanly."

Gu Qing sat and kept thinking, as if he was substituting He Qing at that time.

He was in a good mood yesterday, so if the sound of the piano was wonderful, it would be easy to get intoxicated. When he relaxed his vigilance, the woman who pretended to be "Dongmei" suddenly killed him.

As for why it is "Dongmei", because "Chunxiang" is carrying a piano, and there are calluses left by practicing the piano on Chunxiang's corpse's fingers, Dongmei does not have it.

So the one who plays the piano must be "Chunxiang".

Yunniang said that "Chunxiang" had a strong eye makeup. Combined with the sound of the piano before the two died, Gu Qing suspected that Chunxiang was faked by a blind piano player, and that the eye makeup was used to cover up his eyes different from ordinary people.

Yunniang also recalled that it was late at night, under the hazy candlelight, Chunxiang was sitting far away from He Qing to play the piano, and there was a headdress on her forehead. This could distract others from her eyes. If you pretended a little, it would be difficult to see the flaws.

After all, He Qing is a practitioner after all, and only by taking action by the blind zither, it is more likely that He Qing's vigilance will be completely reduced.

This is a well-planned assassination.

However, before he died, He Qing should have taken out the magic weapon, Li Yan Pen, leaving traces on the murderer's thumb.

"Brother Gu, I'm afraid you'll have to go out in person." Du Qi came in and said.

From Gu Qing's analysis of the corpse, almost letting the dead speak, and using medicine powder to show footprints in the room, Du Qi has completely believed that Gu Qing is more suitable to investigate the real murderer than him.

Moreover, Gu Qing showed unprecedented initiative in this matter. Du Qi saw Gu Qing doing something so seriously for the first time.

Moreover, Gu Qing is his life-saving benefactor, so Du Qi has always been the one who commands others. This time he is willing to be ordered by Gu Qing and takes the initiative to block the person who wants to come in outside.

Because someone in Luyuan could not wait for the reply from the owner of Luyuan, he also notified the government.

Du Qi blocked wave after wave of people.

From yamen runners, to clerks, and even the newly appointed prison, he was blocked outside the Qingqiu Pavilion.

"Xu Zhizhou sent his son Xu Qingteng. If you don't give me an explanation, I'm afraid that Xu Zhizhou might forcefully send someone to Qingqiu Pavilion. With his strength, we may not be able to defend it. I think that Xu Qingteng was not very close to you last time? Maybe you can let him give us some more time." Du Qi continued to say in a deep voice.

Gu Qing said: "Then I'll go out and have a look."

Xu Qingteng was outside the Qingqiu Pavilion, followed by many yamen runners and two practitioners.

When Gu Qing walked out, he looked at everyone's feet. Anyway, he wanted to develop this habit and might meet the murderer.

Soon he arrived in front of Xu Qingteng and subconsciously looked at Xu Qingteng's shoes, "The size is similar to one of the footprints."

However, this only aroused Gu Qing a little bit of suspicion. After all, there are still many people with similar sizes. When he came out, he saw several bodyguards' shoes with similar sizes to one of the two pairs of footprints.

Gu Qing just glanced at Xu Qingteng, and said in surprise: "Young Master Xu, why are you bandaging your left hand?"

Xu Qingteng smiled and said, "Mr. Gu, long time no see. I didn't have time to have free time some time ago, otherwise I would have come to you to discuss calligraphy and painting. My hands are fine, but I just accidentally burned them."

Gu Qing nodded and suddenly reached out to Xu Qingteng's forehead.

Xu Qingteng seemed to be frightened and took a step back.

Gu Qing smiled, spread his palms, and a snowflake slowly dissolved on it. He said, "It's snowing again, let's talk at the door."

Xu Qingteng said suspiciously: "Why is it snowing?"

It turned out that except for the snow on Gu Qing's hand, there was no snow falling in the sky.

Gu Qing said: "It should be falling. This snow is a sign. Your body is precious, so be careful of catching a cold."

Xu Qingteng said: "Well, let's talk to you, Mr. Gu, what happened to Qingqiu Pavilion."

Gu Qing walked under the eaves and inadvertently looked at Xu Qingteng's footprints in the snow. They were quite light. At the same time, they were indeed very similar to one of the footprints in the room.

He said, "Brother He's Qingqiu Pavilion was thieves and lost two extremely important paintings. He suspected that he was a thief, so he didn't trust the people in Luyuan and asked Brother Duqi and me to help. However, Brother He drank too much wine yesterday and had a split headache. After we came, we quickly went to bed. But now we found that the thief was quite stupid and actually stole a fake. Now we are guarding here to prevent the thief from finding that he didn't steal the genuine product and sneaked back."

Mr. Xu was suspicious and said, "But the people in Luyuan said that this is not the case. They said something happened to Butler He."
