The girl looked distressed. Li Qingcha chuckled and rubbed the other person's head. "Curiosity kills the cat. As long as Yicuilou clears us of suspicion in this matter, there is no need to delve into it. Send someone to quietly alert Captain Zhao later." The reason for quietly reminding him was to give face to Captain Zhao. After all, this old man was enjoying everyone's flattery. If he was exposed on the spot, his face would definitely be very interesting. Gong Lianxue and Li Qingcha exchanged glances with an expression that said "I understand you". At this time, Piaoxue came over and saluted Li Qingcha, "Thank you for your righteous words, sir. Piaoxue will repay you with a gift of grass and a ring." She spoke softly, with an unspoken charm. Gong Lianxue was smiling happily just now, but now her expression was a little stiff. She felt very uncomfortable in her heart, and she couldn't even explain why it was like this. She smoothed her hair and looked away. Captain Zhao over there thought he had solved the case, and even sang a little song in a showy way:
"I reached out and touched it, and it was my sister's hair. My sister's hair was so fresh with the fragrance of sweet-scented osmanthus. It was so fresh, so tender, so tender..." Pooh! Obscene lyrics and music! Gong Lianxue secretly spat, her eyes fell on a bronze mirror, and she found a faint reflection of a beautiful woman who was more beautiful than a flower. Looking at herself in the mirror, she felt annoyed for no reason. "Hateful mirror...hateful Huajian Sect, the incense should be cut off!" Li Qingcha felt a chill down his spine. Chapter 8: Isn’t this retribution coming too quickly? Before Captain Zhao left, the waiter brought Li Qingcha's reasoning to him. As a result, not long after the detectives from the Six Gates left Yicui Tower, they received a piece of news that made people laugh and cry. Gong Lianxue had made a mistake in hitting the target, but she actually hit the mark - Mr. Zhou did have a younger brother, who was the deceased's brother-in-law. Moreover, this guy was staying at his brother's house, which raised his suspicion. The girl turned up her nose and poked Li Qingcha's waist with her elbow, "See, I was right!" Li Qingcha: “Yeah.” Very perfunctory attitude... Gong Lianxue raised her little fist in dissatisfaction. Piaoxue saw this and a hint of understanding flashed across her eyes. She couldn't help but smile meaningfully, saluted to the two of them, and left. After the episode just now, Yicui Tower has returned to its former glory with its stringed and musical music. Li Qingcha has been living in the inner courtyard these days, and can occasionally peek into the building.
No matter day or night, as long as it is open, there will be customers rushing to spend money. Even if most girls are resting during the day, you can still go to the casino to try your luck. If you want to spend money, there are plenty of opportunities. "Oh, man..." Gong Lianxue blinked and asked playfully, "Isn't it, Senior Brother?" “I just think this business makes money too quickly.” "Oh, man..." The same sentence has completely different meanings. The two looked at each other, then quickly looked away. At this time, another group of people rushed in from the door. Looking closely, it was still Captain Zhao who led the group. But compared to last time, Captain Zhao was much more low-key and did not take advantage of the nanny. He acted in a businesslike manner and said, "Please ask Miss Piaoxue to go with us to the Six Gates." The tone left no room for doubt. Still going? Li Qingcha frowned and hurried downstairs with Gong Lianxue. "Captain Zhao, what's going on?" Captain Zhao already knew that the Confucian scholar in front of him was the one who had targeted him, so he became much more respectful. "Sir, the problem lies with Mr. Zhou. He has defended his brother's innocence. The murderer is more likely to be Piaoxue. To this end, he even brought in a relative who is an official in the court to endorse him." "Isn't he the deceased's husband?" Li Qingcha was even more confused. "As the victim, why would he hinder the investigation?" "Mr. Zhou cannot accept an acquaintance committing a crime." "..." Speechless. In ancient times, clan concepts were particularly strong. A man named Zhou would rather his wife die in obscurity than not protect his brother. Moreover, isn’t there a jingle that describes the three great blessings of a middle-aged man? The official becomes rich but his wife dies. Maybe Mr. Zhou is secretly happy about this. Just as Li Qingcha was sighing at the feudalism of ancient times, he suddenly felt a murderous aura emanating from his side. It's like actual murderous intent. Li Qingcha turned his head and found that Gong Lianxue's face was covered with a layer of frost. It seemed that it was due to her skills. Her hair moved without wind, and the tips of her hair showed a dazzling scarlet red. At this moment, Li Qingcha truly understood the oriental fantasy background of "The Great Thousand Worlds".
She subconsciously thought of the Lingyun Pill. If I want to fully integrate, cultivation seems inevitable. Captain Zhao also noticed Gong Lianxue's change. He was shocked and moved his right hand downwards, but gave up before he touched the hilt of the knife. When ordinary people face monks, they must think clearly about the consequences before having any thoughts of resistance! He looked at Li Qingcha with pleading eyes. Li Qingcha understood what he meant, shook his head at Gong Lianxue, and said, "Don't be impatient, don't forget that we have to..." To hide, to shine, to nourish, to be obscure, The four words are spoken by lip shape. Gong Lianxue looked at her coldly for a long time, then slowly nodded, put her hands behind her back, smiled sweetly like a blooming flower, and turned into that charming and innocent girl again. The murderous aura dissipated. Call ~ Captain Zhao breathed a sigh of relief and admired Li Qingcha even more. Not only is he proficient in criminal law, but he can also persuade monks with ease. This Confucian scholar may be of a higher rank. It seems that the Zhou family has hit a wall this time. Thinking of this, Captain Zhao had already made up his mind. He cupped his hands and said, "Whatever you want to ask, I will tell you everything I know and strive to clear Miss Piaoxue's name." Li Qingcha didn't waste any words and asked, "How did the Zhou family frame Piaoxue?" The implication is that there must be a motive for murder, right? Captain Zhao glanced at Gong Lianxue. Gong Lianxue snorted coldly and said, "Just answer truthfully. I'm not some female devil who kills people without blinking an eye." (Lol) Captain Zhao coughed awkwardly and said, "At the banquet last night, after watching Miss Piaoxue's sword dance, Mr. Zhou expressed his intention to redeem her. So, Miss Piaoxue's motive is that she doesn't want to be a concubine." Don't want to be a mistress, so you kill the eldest wife? Zhou is such a shameless person to come up with such a self-flattering motive for murder! "..." Li Qingcha was speechless. She turned to look at Gong Lianxue, "This guy is just a fool. Piaoxue and I will go to Jingzhao Prefecture and we should be able to get that guy..." The voice has not fallen, "Boss!"
A young constable ran in with small steps and whispered something in Captain Zhao's ear. The more Captain Zhao listened, the more surprised he became. He lowered his voice and asked, "Mr. Zhou has found a fortune teller?" The look on his face showed how unexpected this was. Li Qingcha looked at Gong Lianxue in confusion. The girl muttered, "Stupid Senior Brother, are you a cultivator from the Huajian Sect? How come you don't even know such basic information?" Because the Imperial Observatory was a government office and the monks worked for the government, the characteristics of monks below the fourth rank were known to almost everyone, even ordinary people had heard of them. Unless Li Qingcha is a wild man living in the mountains... Wild man... Thinking of this word, the girl blushed and said without thinking: "Hmm... I don't think it can be used that way..." Li Qingcha asked: "What did you say?" "No...nothing..." "..." "Hey, don't be so suspicious. Let me tell you, the Imperial Observatory has a unique cultivation method. There are ninth-grade doctors and eighth-grade qi-gazers. Qi-gazers can not only read people's destiny, but also detect lies. Zhou hired a qi-gazer because he probably wants to start with the details. If Piaoxue hesitates, he will have an excuse to torture her, and if he goes further, he will be forced to confess. So, you need... hey... senior brother? Senior brother?" After saying a lot, Gong Lianxue realized that Li Qingcha was in a daze, as if his soul had been taken away, and he didn't hear anything that had just been said. "Hey!" "Hey, hey, hey, hey!" "Come to your senses!" Gong Lianxue: (#`O′) It was just like pulling someone's ears and shouting. Li Qingcha finally came to his senses and looked at the girl. He turned his head very stiffly, like a rusty robot. One could almost hear the creaking sound of friction. "Well... well... I have to leave the capital for some urgent matter..." Gong Lianxue: Stare—— "I'm not lying to you, really." Gong Lianxue: Stare—— "I really didn't lie to you. It's not necessary, right?" Gong Lianxue: Stare—— The girl's fiery gaze wanted to ignite Li Qingcha and turn it into a bottle of burning tea.
"I don't know who said they wanted to go to Jingzhao Prefecture just now?" Li Qingcha was helpless. Isn’t this retribution coming too quickly? She prayed silently in her heart. She had only borrowed the Heavenly Secret Disk for a while and returned it after use. She had not stolen or robbed it. That woman should not have distributed her wanted portrait everywhere in the Imperial Observatory. If you don't send it everywhere, it means that not everyone knows you. So, maybe I can survive?
