lord of all phenomena

Chapter 68 The Suspect
"Brother Seven, they died probably between Shenshi and Youshi yesterday, and the two people in the Qingqiu Pavilion yesterday were definitely not them."

"you sure?"

"I am very sure."

"Well, I think the two of them don't have the ability to harm Brother He. In this way, someone pretended to be them, and the disguise was so realistic that Brother He didn't even notice it for a while. So Brother He relaxed his vigilance and suffered Poisonous hands."

Gu Qing said: "I think the same way. I have one more thing to trouble Seventh Brother. Please bring bodyguards from the Escort Bureau, and we will completely control the Qingqiu Hall."

"It's not difficult, but I'm afraid it's hard to explain when Master Lu comes back." Du Qi paused, and then said: "If there is any blame at that time, Brother Gu will blame me. I will definitely blame Brother He Only by doing something can I feel at ease. If it wasn't for Brother He's help that day, I wouldn't have been able to take pictures of the marrow washing liquid. Moreover, Brother He has promised to hand over most of the silver darts, food darts, and material darts to me for escort. Now that Brother He is gone, the person who takes over may not be as easy-talking as Brother He. So no matter who the murderer is, I will not spare him."

Gu Qing said: "Since the seventh brother is fine, let's start to act. As for Master Lu Yuan's censure, that is a matter for the future, we will talk about it then."

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

The bodyguards under Duqi are all people who traveled with him, licking blood at the edge of their swords, and all of them obeyed orders, and their mobility was extremely strong. Sometimes they would take over the task of protecting important people when they traveled, and their combat ability was worse than that of the elite of the military camp. not bad.

This time Du Qi also brought three practitioners whom Gu Qing met last time, because Du Qi became the head of the branch of Weiyuan Escort Bureau, and all three of them became important figures in the branch, and they were all Du Qi's right-hand men .

It can be said that in order to trace the truth, Duqi spared no effort this time.

Of course, if the news of Du Qi's revenge is spread, people on the road will only give a thumbs up when they hear it, and their subordinates will be more cohesive.

After all, the business of darts is not only for money, but also for righteousness.

The Qingqiu Pavilion included two nursing homes, which were soon controlled by Duqi's people. Because there was no He Qing in charge of the people in Lu Yuan, the group had no leader. Even if they had some strength, they were not organized, so they dared not act rashly.

Moreover, Duqi only cares about the Qingqiu Pavilion, and will never set foot in the rest of the Lu Garden.

Therefore, although people in the garden were panicked, there was no disturbance.

However, their actions will definitely be passed on to Master Lu Yuan through the eyes and ears left behind by Master Lu Yuan.

Du Qi can't control these things, anyway, he is already the core figure of Weiyuan Escort Bureau, and He Qingzhi's death is the one to track down the real culprit, when Master Lu Yuan knows, it is impossible to do anything to him.

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

Intricate and messy, it makes people's scalp numb.

Gu Qing identified them one by one, and found the footprints belonging to the two people who pretended to be Chunxiang and Dongmei yesterday.However, Chunxiang and Dongmei's feet are not small, so the fake people didn't make a fuss about their feet, obviously not afraid that this matter would become a flaw for their fakes.

Of course, it can also be seen that He Qing's aesthetics for feet is very general.Gu Qing still prefers slender feet.

Having some distracting thoughts, Gu Qing continued to concentrate.In a hidden corner of He Qing's room, he found his copy of "Water Far and Mountain Long".

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

When Gu Qing was making fakes that day, he noticed that the charm of the original real painting had been transferred to the fake painting he copied. He called Yunniang again and asked about the appearance of another painting. Qing asked Gu Qing to imitate the painting.

Yunniang said that He Qing called the painting "High Sky and Light Clouds", and He Qing often watched it recently, so she was very impressed.

"I didn't imitate "High Sky and Calm Clouds" well enough. "Long Water and Long Mountains" is the real thing, but the charm is with me. Since their goal is these two paintings, they will definitely study them carefully after they get them. As long as they have a little knowledge, You will find out the abnormality." Gu Qing thought to himself.

"Since they have worked so hard, if they find that there is something wrong with what they got, they will definitely find a way to investigate here again. At least they will not leave Jiangcheng for a short time."

At the same time, Gu Qing also noticed one thing, he couldn't find the Liyan pen that He Qing took in the Qingqiu Pavilion.This pen is extremely valuable, and He Qing is most likely to keep it with him at all times, at least in his own room.

What's more, the very shallow thumbprint on the empty box can be left because there is a very special ink stain on it, which is difficult to wipe off.

Of course, Gu Qing also found that the thumb print had already been processed, but it was limited to the characteristics of the ink stain and could not be completely removed.

What's more, the ink smear is extremely shallow, even with Gu Qing's eyesight, it takes careful observation to find it.

Therefore, the probability of ordinary people discovering it is extremely low.But Gu Qing has used the Liyan pen before, and has some understanding of its characteristics, and thinks that the thumbprint may have something to do with the Liyan pen.

"The murderer most likely also took away the Liyan pen. The thumbprint must have been left unconsciously by the murderer when he opened the box. The thumbprint is the thumb of his left hand, which shows that his left hand is the dominant hand. It's just that he is careful, He found out about it very quickly, so he made up for it. Probably he didn’t have my eyesight, so he thought he handled it very cleanly.”

Gu Qing sat and kept thinking, as if he had been replaced by He Qing at that time.

He was in a good mood yesterday, so if the sound of the piano is beautiful, it is easy to get intoxicated.When he let down his vigilance, the woman pretending to be "Dongmei" rushed down to kill him.

As for why it was "Dongmei", it was because "Chunxiang" came here with the qin on her back, and Chunxiang's corpse had cocoons from practicing the piano on her fingers, which Dongmei didn't have.

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

Yunniang said that "Chunxiang" wore thick eye makeup, and combined with the sound of the piano before the two died, Gu Qing suspected that Chunxiang was a fake blind luthier. The eye makeup was used to cover up that his eyes were different from ordinary people.

Yunniang also recalled that it was late at night, under the dim candlelight, Chunxiang was sitting far away from He Qing, playing the piano, with a headdress on her forehead.This can distract other people's attention from her eyes, and it will be difficult to see the flaws if you put on a little camouflage.

After all, He Qing is a practitioner, and it is more likely that the blind luthier will completely lower He Qing's vigilance.

It was a well-planned assassination.

It's just that before He Qing died, he should have taken out the magic weapon Liyan pen, which left marks on the murderer's thumb.

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

From Gu Qing's analysis of the corpse, which almost made the dead man speak, and the medicine powder showing the footprints in the house, Du Qi has completely believed that Gu Qing is more suitable for tracking down the real culprit than he is.

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

What's more, Gu Qing is still his savior, so he has always been the only one who orders others, this time he is willing to be ordered by Gu Qing, and also takes the initiative to block people who want to come in outside.

Because someone in Lu Garden couldn't wait for the reply from the owner of Lu Garden, they even notified the government.

Duqi blocked wave after wave of people.

From the yamen servants to the subordinate officials, and even the newly appointed prison guards, he blocked them all from the Qingqiu Pavilion.

"Xu Zhizhou sent his son Xu Qingteng here. If he doesn't give an explanation, I'm afraid Xu Zhizhou might send people into the Qingqiu Hall by force. With his strength, we may not be able to hold it. I think Xu Qingteng didn't treat you last time. Are you very close? Maybe you can ask him to give us a little more time." Du Qi then said in a deep voice.

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

Xu Qingteng was just outside the Qingqiu Pavilion, followed by many government servants and two practitioners.

When Gu Qing went out, he looked at everyone's feet. Anyway, if he wanted to develop this habit, he might meet a murderer.

Soon he came to Xu Qingteng, and subconsciously looked at Xu Qingteng's shoes, "The size is actually similar to the footprints of one of them."

But this only aroused Gu Qing's doubts. After all, there are still many people with similar sizes. When he came out, he saw several bodyguards whose shoes were similar in size to one of the two pairs of footprints.

Gu Qing just glanced at it, then looked at Xu Qingteng, and said in surprise: "Mr. Xu, why is your left hand bandaged?"

Xu Qingteng said with a smile: "Young Master Gu, long time no see. I didn't have time to spare some time ago, otherwise I would have come to you to discuss painting and calligraphy. My hands are fine, but I accidentally burned them."

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

Xu Qingteng seemed frightened and took a step back.

Gu Qing smiled, spread out his palm, and a snowflake slowly melted on it, he said: "It's snowing again, let's talk at the door."

Xu Qingteng asked suspiciously, "Why is it snowing?"

It turned out that apart from the snow on Gu Qing's hands, there was no snow in the sky.

Gu Qing said: "It should be about to fall, this piece of snow is an omen. You are precious, be careful of catching a cold."

Xu Qingteng said: "Well, let's go to the front and talk, Mr. Gu, what happened to the Qingqiu Hall?"

Gu Qing walked under the eaves and inadvertently looked at Xu Qingteng's footprints in the snow, which were quite light.At the same time, it is indeed very similar to a certain pair of footprints in the house.

He said: "Brother He's Qingqiu Museum was attacked by thieves, and two very important paintings were lost. He suspected that he was a family thief, so he didn't trust Lu Yuan's people very much, so he asked Brother Du Qi and me to help. But Brother He yesterday I drank too much wine and had a splitting headache. After we came, we fell asleep quickly. But now we found out that the thief was very stupid, and what he stole was a fake. Now we are guarding here in case the thief finds out Did not steal the genuine product, and sneaked back."

Mr. Xu doubtfully said: "But the people in Lu Yuan said that's not the case. They said something happened to Steward He."

Gu Qing said: "Why don't you wait for a while, and I'll wake up Brother He. After all, everyone else can't see you. When you come, no matter how deeply he sleeps, you should come and see him, otherwise it would be too rude."
