Chapter 23 The Painted Skin Poison Scheme

Everyone hurriedly followed the sound——

This is the room where Miss Qi rests.

The maidservant was so frightened that she fell to the ground, broke the porcelain bowl and scattered all the soup, pointing at the open wardrobe and trembling.

Luo Yihe was the first to move forward bravely, "Human skin? Where is it? Oh - come on, Huahua, look at it."

Xuan Wei was the second to come straight forward and saw clearly that Luo Yihe had already picked up the human skin that was dried on the table with a handkerchief, and immediately frowned.

Mr. Qi rushed over, looked at it from a distance, retched for a while, and loudly asked his frightened daughter who was sitting on the bed: "What's going on? What is this and how did it come about!"

"I don't know either, Dad! I just asked the maid to get a blanket." After hearing her father's voice, Miss Qi regained consciousness and burst into tears again:

"Who wants me to die? Just kill me directly. Why would you kill my husband first and then do this bloody thing to scare me?"

Xuan Wei thought about it and said: "This is human skin. Judging from the dryness of the blood and the deepening of the color, it took about half a day to peel off."

Luo Yihe touched a branch at some point and poked one or two bloody holes on the dough, "The locations of these bloody holes are similar to the charred corpse in Cuimei Pavilion."

Mr. Qi's scalp went numb: "The charred corpse in Cuimei Pavilion?!"

Luo Yihe nodded, "Well, what a coincidence. When we came back, we passed by Cuimei Pavilion and ran into the water. Miss Ningdai's body was burned and she died."

Mr. Qi's eyes widened, and Miss Qi shouted.

Such a...coincidence?

"Sir, people from the government are here." The steward came to report at this time, "It looks like the situation is not good...it seems like they are coming to take someone away from us."

Mr. Qi lost his temper, "It's true that we have people who want them to arrest them, but they don't want to come to our house to get them!"

"Mr. Qi!"

A man's greeting sounded in the distance, and within a moment, a man in a misty blue official uniform came walking with a dozen gray-clothed government officials.

The man in blue official uniform asked straight to the point: "Mr. Qi, do you know where your wife is?"

"Master Lu Fu Cheng." Mr. Qi hurriedly walked out of the house, bowed and saluted, "My little girl is in the house, I don't know why Mr. Fu Cheng is looking for her -"

Lu Fucheng didn't say much nonsense and waved directly to the Yamen: "Go in and take it!"

Mr. Qi was shocked: "This... Lu Fucheng, this! I wonder what the little girl has done?"

"Instruct people to kill people and burn their bodies." Lu Fucheng said, "Hurry up, hurry up! Can't walk? Drag him away!"

Miss Qi’s scream sounded again: “Ah! Let me go—what are you doing? Let me go!!”

A government official ran out and reported: "Sir, there is a human face inside!"

"Face?!" Lu Fu Cheng was frightened and raised his brows, "Killing people, skinning them and burning their bodies, it's so bad! Why don't you take it down quickly!"

Mr. Qi's face turned pale: "How is this possible! Lu Fu Cheng, my daughter is just a boudoir who doesn't leave the house. How can she go out to Cuimei Pavilion to kill people, skin them and burn their corpses!"

"That's why I said it was 'instruction'." Lu Fucheng squinted at him, "The murderer is the maid your reporter is looking for."

Mr. Qi was also about to cry: "No, the little girl is so innocent, how could she have such malicious thoughts? The maid who betrayed her master must have done it herself. Let me tell you, she not only killed the dancer, but also used broad beans to kill her.

The flowers killed my son-in-law, and they want to buy water and glutinous rice to cause my daughter's illness. She——"

"Sir, a picture book was also found in the room." Another servant ran out and presented what he had in his hand.

When Lu Fucheng saw it, he was so wide-eyed that his forehead wrinkles appeared.

""Painted Skin"? Come on, old man, take a look! Look at what terrible things your good girl is looking at, she is so innocent!"

Mr. Qi wiped his eyes repeatedly and couldn't believe it.

"So that's it," Lu Fucheng stroked his beard, nodded and walked along the walk:

"Because Cui Jieyuan couldn't forget Miss Ningdai's acquisition, Ling Ai was jealous of her beauty. After reading "Painted Skin", she hatched a vicious plan. In the name of buying Shui Nuozi, she sent her maid to kill Miss Ningdai and skin her face in order to get Ningdai.

The appearance is the love of Bo Cui Jieyuan!"

After hearing this, Mr. Qi almost lost his breath and pointed at Lu Fucheng tremblingly, "Absurd, ridiculous! Is this how you officials conjecture and judge the case?!"

Miss Qi burst into tears and struggled with her delicate body to no avail: "Daddy, save me! I'm not jealous of Miss Ningdai's appearance at all, my husband just appreciates her talent!"

"Of course you said that to avoid suspicion." Lu Fucheng sneered, "Then why do you think this face is in your house? Everyone gets the stolen goods, so what's there to defend?"

"I don't know how it came to be in my cabinet!" Miss Qi had cried hoarsely and could not say more. She could only repeat feebly, "I don't know anything... I don't know anything.

…”

"Okay! Mr. Fu Cheng compiled it well!"

Several rounds of applause followed by a cheer, and the person who made the sound swayed out and looked at everyone with a smile.

"There's nothing wrong with this story, it's just that I have a question," Luo Yihe looked at Lu Fucheng and said curiously:

"Since it was Miss Qi who instigated the maid Xi'er to go out to commit murder, why did Xi'er escape alone after killing people and skinning them, instead of going to Shunde Building to buy glutinous rice balls according to the name of going out, bringing the human skin back with her, and giving it to Qi

Where is the lady?"

Lu Fu Cheng looked him up and down, saw him in rich clothes and jade crown, and thought he was the silly son of Mr. Qi's family.

He looked at someone with a retarded look: "Miss Qi was afraid that she would be caught if she stayed in the house, so she asked her to disguise herself in human skin after she was done, so that Shunde Tower would send it back to Qi's house together with Shui Nuozi. That fierce maid

Then you can take the opportunity to escape and get the best of both worlds."

Miss Qi was speechless. Lu Fucheng could always perfect her murder methods and motives.

Luo Yihe snorted and expressed his dissatisfaction: "Send such a bloody thing to Shunde House and package it with Shui Nuozi and send it to Qi Zhai? This risk is too high. Once Shunde House finds out, the target of the attack will be directed at Xi'er and Qi's family.

Miss Qi is not so stupid, is she?"

"How smart can a boudoir woman be with just a little self-righteous scheming?" Lu Fucheng sneered, "But it is the first time in Lu's life that she can be so bitter and ridiculous!"

After complaining, he thought of something again, "Oh, Mr. Qi, what did you just say? Your son-in-law is also dead?... This is incredible, Miss Qi, this is how she even hates Cui Jieyuan because of her love, making him the same as Ningdai.

And he was killed! He was carrying two lives...take him away quickly!"

"No--"

"By the way, since Cui Jieyuan was also killed, we have to take his body back to the government." Lu Fucheng continued to add insult to injury, "Also, please give that fierce maid the deed of sale, and we want to take it back.

Write a fishing document."

"Master." Xuan Wei walked out slowly at this time and stood one step behind Luo Yihe, "Your speculation does make some sense, but I still have questions."

Could this be the stupid daughter of Mr. Qi's family? Lu Fucheng's eyes lingered for a moment and he quickly looked away. She was also stupid. Why are these stupid children so much more attractive to the eyes than the murderer?

"Let me ask you a question, so that your sister can give up and plead guilty soon, so that she will suffer less." For the sake of pleasing her, he reluctantly answered a few more questions.

"Two questions." Xuan Wei said softly:

"First, if according to what you said, what Miss Qi is looking for is Miss Ningdai's dough, then why is this piece of dough with conspicuous holes, and how can it be used?

"Secondly, since Miss Qi asked for his favor in order to win back Cui Jieyuan's love, why would she kill him again? Doesn't this contradict her motive?"
