Chapter 274 It’s a matter of family ties
It turned out that the "corpse" lying on the ground just now was not someone else, but Lu Qingfan, who pretended to rest but actually found it secretly.
He and Yun Xi's upper room was surrounded by windows on three sides. It was easy to jump from the east window and return to the east guest room on the second floor where Ge Zhongbin's body was placed.
Lu Qingfan had asked the shopkeeper in advance that Ge Zhongbin and his party, including the murderer, had never been to the upper room on the third floor, so naturally they didn't know that the upper room was surrounded by windows on three sides.
This also facilitated his design of catching turtles in an urn.
"What are you waiting for, sir? Let us see what the murderer looks like!" Wang Lian, who was already waiting at the door, shouted anxiously.
Lu Qingfan patted the dust on his body and immediately lifted up the white cloth blocking the criminal's face.
Unexpectedly, an unexpected incident occurred. The criminal suddenly turned around and fled out of the window, covered with a white cloth. Unexpectedly, Lu Qingfan's sealed hole was unsealed at some point!
How could Lu Qingfan let this guy escape?
The sword in his hand seemed to have eyes, and it shot straight at the murderer with a strong internal force, causing the man to throw himself on the window, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and unable to move again.
Lu Qingfan snorted coldly, and uttered four words with thin lips: "You don't overestimate your capabilities."
Yun Xi shook her head helplessly: "Why bother to resist in such a corner?" Lu Qingfan's explosive force was used to push him to the ground and rub him in vain.
Lu Qingfan strode over and lifted up the white cloth, revealing the face of the visitor.
"Du Xin?!"
Wang Lian and He Lei exclaimed in surprise, and He Lei said in disbelief: "Sir, have you arrested the wrong person? Du Xin said he despised Ge Zhongbin, but in fact he was very good with that guy. How could he kill his brother?
?”
"Brother?" Lu Qingfan glanced at Du Xin with an indignant look. Du Xin was injured by his own inner strength and had lost the ability to resist. Even if he could get up, Lu Qingfan was not good at learning.
"Du Xin, do you say it yourself, or do I say it for you?"
"I don't know why your Majesty took action. I'm just worried about the cause of Ge Zhongbin's death, and I heard that your Majesty already knew the identity of the murderer, so I wanted to come and pay my respects..."
"Rifling through boxes to mourn?"
Yun Xi pointed at the room that was already in a state of chaos, and then patted her sleeves: "The thing you are looking for is already here with me."
Du Xin looked stern, then looked at Lu Qingfan, "You..." Do you all know?
"If you confess, you will be treated leniently." Yun Xi looked at Wang Lian and others, still unwilling to believe that it was his friend who killed Ge Zhongbin, and sighed: "If you have always been so stubborn, don't blame me for not giving you a chance to stay."
It’s decent.”
Du Xin sneered coldly: "It's just a trick, how can you have any dignity?"
Lu Qingfan had long expected that this guy would be like this, and said calmly: "You are from Feihe Peak, right?"
He looked at Zhou Xinfei again: "You are the guarantor."
Zhou Xinfei's pupils shrank, and then he nodded obediently.
"Why didn't you follow him to find it? It's not easy for you if you lose the clues." Lu Qingfan thought that he would catch the two accomplices this time.
"This is my last trip to guarantee the goods." Zhou Xinfei raised his eyes and glanced at Du Xin, and said calmly: "The safety of Ge Zhongbin is guaranteed."
Now that everyone is dead, there is no need for him to delve deeper.
Yun Xi was dumbfounded. No wonder Zhou Xinfei's behavior was weird from beginning to end. What he wanted to protect was not the so-called "information" at all, but Ge Zhongbin's life.
I think the person behind the scenes is considering the person Ge Zhongbin passed on the information to. As long as he is fine, then the information will be fine as well.
Unexpectedly, even though there was a guarantor, someone still killed Ge Zhongbin unexpectedly; that person was still the person who had been doing private transactions with Ge Zhongbin.
"What exactly was written on the note?" When things came to a close, Du Xin was still thinking about the note.
Yun Xi shook her head: "Master Du, you should first tell me how you killed someone."
Lu Qingfan folded his arms, also waiting for this guy to confess.
"As long as I tell you the reason for the murder, how about you tell me the contents of the note?"
"Deal." This time it was Lu Qingfan who answered Du Xin.
Du Xin took a deep breath and said calmly in the confused eyes of Wang Lian and He Lei: "Do you all think that although Ge Zhongbin is a drunkard and a womanizer, he is a loyal person and I shouldn't kill him anyway?
Huh, this guy is just a villain who is greedy for profit."
He said sarcastically: "I'm afraid you don't know that Ge Zhongbin got more than a few taels of silver from a trip to be an escort, but he gave you less than a hundred silver."
In other words, more than half of the escort money went into Ge Zhongbin's pocket. People like Pianwanglian still called Ge Zhongbin brothers like idiots.
"As for him coming here every ten days to deliver information, he is risking his life. If my prediction is correct, you will have an accident every time you are on the road, and some people will die, right?"
The ugly expressions of Wang Lian and He Lei had confirmed that what Du Xin said was true.
"Just, even if it is as you said, he will not be punished until death..." Wang Liana said honestly.
"Tell me the important point." Lu Qingfan tapped the table lightly.
Greedy for money and defrauding friends is indeed a crime not worthy of death.
"Ge Zhongbin is greedy, so because this information is important, he wants me to pay double the commission before he will deliver the information." Du Xin finally told the real reason.
The two had a dispute over this matter, and Ge Zhongbin even instigated Du Xin to rebel against him, asking him to make an unreasonable request to his employer for doubling the commission before giving him the information.
"My name is the word 'faith'. My parents have taught me since I was young that you should never lose your integrity because of money. I really can't stand the behavior of villains like Ge Zhongbin, so I made a mistake..."
"I'm afraid it's not a 'wrong hand', right?" Yun Xi suddenly said: "Master Du is a member of the 'Invisible Gang' sect, and his hard skills are extremely strong. If it was a 'wrong hand', it would have been the Gangfeng Iron Fist that killed the person. How could he do it?"
You just chose a sword that you’re not good at?”
Yun Xi was very happy. Did he really not take his role seriously and tell lies with his eyes open?
"I, I did make a mistake. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. Who would have expected..."
"Unexpectedly, He Lei on the side took out his sword and asked you to avenge your sister who died in vain, so you used his sword to kill someone, right?" Lu Qingfan looked at He Lei with unclear meaning: "It's a good move to kill someone with a borrowed sword."
The case took a turn for the worse, and He Lei, who was suddenly dragged into the water, was also confused: "What do you mean by this, sir? What does Du Xin's murder have to do with me?"
Yun Xi's expression revealed a hint of pity, "The 'Flying Crane Orphan' who committed suicide on Feihe Peak is Young Master He's sister, right?"
When she was in the kitchen before, Yun Xi felt strange when she heard the waiter's words about "an orphan girl asking for her life": Any rumored and unjust case would never happen without wind and waves. She was more thoughtful and went to Lu Qingfan to investigate.
The secret guards were really quick in their work, and in less than two hours they found out that the "orphan girl" was not unrelated at all, but He Lei's biological sister.
"Your sister's innocence was stained by Ge Zhongbin. She hanged to death on Feihe Peak in shame and anger. She died miserably. After that, rumors spread about the 'orphan girl locking her soul'. You have been following Ge Zhongbin to and fro for convenience.
Just waiting for an opportunity to kill him."
Perhaps He Lei was not good at studying, perhaps Ge Zhongbin's destiny was not fulfilled, and He Lei had acted secretly many times without success.
It wasn't until last night when everyone was drunk and Ge Zhongbin was making a fuss with Du Xin in the house discussing how to embezzle the employer's money that He Lei found the opportunity and let Du Xin be used as a murder knife.
"Alas!" Du Xin punched the ground bitterly, but still didn't let go.
He Lei smiled miserably and said in a low voice: "That scoundrel wants to seize any pretty girl when he sees one. My sister...blame me, blame me for not coveting the one hundred taels of escort money, thinking that the wealth will not go to outsiders.
If you have many sisters, you can earn more by acting as escorts. But it was that time that cost her her life!"
During that escort trip, Ge Zhongbin kept trying to plot evil against his sister, but He Lei blocked him intentionally or unintentionally.
Unexpectedly, Ge Zhongbin used an excuse to go out with Du Xin and took his sister away while He Lei was away, stretching out his claws deep in the dense forest.
He Lei's sister had a fierce temperament. After the incident, she was shameless and hanged beside the path in the center of Feihe Peak.
"When Ge Zhongbin came back, he lied to me and said that my sister had slipped and fell off a cliff. He thought he had done this dirty thing without anyone noticing!"
When He Lei collected his sister's body, he learned the truth about his sister's defilement from Wu Zuo!
"Later on, I tried to kill him many times, but Zhou Xinfei stopped him intentionally or unintentionally. Now, Sir, you have solved my confusion. It turns out that A Fei is a famous 'guarantor' in the world."
He Lei smiled bitterly, "I'm just saying, since it's such a big-money escort business, how can we not have a guarantor to mediate in the middle?"
"Come to think of it, this matter has also become a knot in Mr. Du's heart. The purpose of killing this time was to seize the escort information for keeping his promise, and secondly to vent his personal anger. It is an excellent opportunity for revenge." Lu Qingfan said.
"My cousin was also taken advantage of by Ge Zhongbin..." Du Xin murmured: "We had no choice but to force Ge Zhongbin to marry her. But this guy's old habits die hard, and his petty behavior makes life difficult for my sister!
"
He and He Lei are in the same boat, and they both want to vent their anger for the girl!!
As long as this guy dies...
There was a trace of cruelty in Du Xin's eyes: "Kill him, I won't regret it at all!"
