Chapter 70 Murder Motive

Liu Yiqing stood there with a pale face. Although there was still heavy snow outside the window, beads of sweat the size of beans appeared on his forehead.

He swallowed a mouthful of water and felt his throat dry. "The charcoal basin is blocking the door, even if the secret room is what you said. The door is opened inward. If the murderer pushes the charcoal basin to the door inside, he will not be able to open the door and go out."

"If he pulls the charcoal basin after he comes out, how can he pull it?"

Chi Shi listened and gave Liu Yiqing a rare look of admiration, "I have never seen anyone beat me up. You are the smartest murderer I have ever met."

Liu Yiqing shook, raised her head suddenly and looked at Chi Shi.

Wei Hong could not stand there when she heard this. She rushed inside, found Liu Yiqing's house, rushed in, and shouted, "That coroner is right. Liu Yiqing's escort is indeed wet! He is the murderer!"

"You went to the kitchen not to find taro for Gao Tao, but to go there and find an iron hook. Because when you tried in your own room before, people were in the room, just push the charcoal basin over, that's fine."

"In this way, you can only measure how long it will take to burn the ice... But this morning, you suddenly thought of the question you asked me just now. After you killed Zhu San, you have to open the door and come out. How should you pull the charcoal basin under the door bolt and let it bake ice?"

"So, you went to the kitchen to find tools and hooked the charcoal basin. It was also at this time that you went to get the door bolt you prepared early in the morning and put it outside."

"Then, you killed Zhu San, and arranged the secret room according to the situation you had planned in advance. Then you estimated the time and went downstairs to have dinner. Wei Hong has been targeting Zhu San. You and Luo Yan have not come back, so she won't be angry if you lack a few people for dinner."

"When you are all here, and before Zhu San comes down, Wei Hong will definitely attack. Luo Yan is stuck between Zhu San and Wei Hong in a dilemma. At this time, and on the surface, Luo Yan is closer to Zhu San, so he will definitely call someone."

"Now, you have become an outsider. You are a good plan."

At this moment, Miss Gao, who had not spoken, suddenly cried, "Yiqing, tell me, isn't this really right? You didn't kill Zhu San, right? I've told you clearly. In order to get in touch with the Zhu family, my father did intend to marry me to Zhu San."

"But later, my sister's marriage with noble people was completed, and my marriage was optional, so my father fulfilled my wish and asked me to marry you. We grew up together, and I know that because of Zhu San, everyone outside now pointed at me, making you angry..."

"But, Yiqing, you can't kill someone for this! I..."

Halfway through her words, she was crying so hard that she couldn't help but speak.

Chi Shi looked at her in confusion, "Ms. Gao has looked in the mirror every day, why are you so self-indulgent? Men are reliable, so sows are all climbing trees. You are young and your eyes are not very good. You should treat them as soon as possible. Don't look for your husband in the cesspool next time."

Zhou Xian tightened his hand holding the fan and coughed a few times.

Master, stop talking. I didn’t see other girls and I wish I could tear your mouth.

Chi Shi turned his head and looked at Zhou Xian. Suddenly, he realized that he took off his furry cloak and draped it on Zhou Xian. He said seriously, "Don't freeze to death. If you died early, I would lose."

Zhou Xian wanted to slap himself with a big ear.

It’s all his fault. He didn’t remember the truth that the fellow Taoist will die and not die.

"It's not because of Sister Gao, why did he kill Zhu San?" Wei Hong ran over curiously, asking in fear that the world would not be in chaos.

Chi Shi looked at her deeply, "I said before that Zhu San was wearing a middle-clothed shirt to open the door, and there were signs of sucking on his collarbone..."

Zhou Xian's cough became louder. He took a step forward and pulled Chi Shi behind him, "Chi Jiu, I think you are so thirsty after saying so many words. Why don't you go and have a cup of tea? Now that the evidence is as strong as a mountain, Liu Yiqing is the murderer."

"I see, the time is almost over. The waiter should have called the official officer in a while. Let's leave the rest to them."

Chi Shi opened her mouth, she was not thirsty at all. Before going upstairs, wouldn’t she and Zhou Xian drink tea downstairs with Zhou Xian?

"Yes, I killed Zhu San."

Liu Yiqing said, her eyes red, "Zhu San went to find Gao Tao, not because he wanted to overturn the case for his father, but because he wanted to disrupt my marriage with Gao Tao. We were ridiculous in our youth and did many wrong things."

"But after getting married with Gao Tao, I wanted to alienate Zhu San. He used to be a good family background and was very arrogant. They all knew each other early in the morning, but I only joined me later, so Qin Zhi and Luo Yan thought I was not very familiar with Zhu San."

"But, the fate between people is hard to tell. From childhood to adulthood, I thought Gao Tao would be my wife, but later, the Gao family talked about marriage with the Zhu family. I was furious and went to find Zhu San..."

"I didn't expect... Zhu San was a demon. We were all indifferent, but something happened to the Zhu family suddenly. Zhu San suddenly became a lonely person. He grabbed me and thought I was his last straw."

Liu Yiqing said, like a drowning person, he sucked his breath in big mouthfuls, "I have many brothers in my family, and I may not be able to inherit the family business. I must marry Gao Tao. My relationship with Zhu San was discovered by Gao Tao's father. He told me to ask me to settle Zhu San, otherwise I would quit the marriage."

"I said I would buy Zhu Sanjin and Yin to buy property for him, let him go back to Hangzhou or to accompany his exiled father and brother. Just leave the capital from afar and leave Gao Tao's sight. But he refused."

"He insisted on making trouble all over the city, and everyone knew it. I lost my reputation. Like him, I became a person with nothing! I was really forced into a dead end by him! There was no way, so..."

Liu Yiqing said, looking at his hands, "I don't want to kill anyone... I don't want to kill anyone. The dagger on his chest was given to me, and he beat me in a blacksmith shop in a countryside. I used it for the first time, and it pierced into his heart."

"I don't want to do anything. Zhu San forced me, he forced me!"

Liu Yiqing said, becoming a little crazy, "This madman, he has nothing to do, falling high above and falling into the mud, and he doesn't want to let others fight, so he wants to die long ago. So he forced me to kill him, so I will die like him..."

"This lunatic..."
