Chapter 33 Tragedy
Of course, Captain Cui knew Gongsun He, a fortune teller who had been setting up stalls on the street for decades. He had also asked Gongsun He to do the fortune teller before, and said, "Why don't you go back to live with your own home? You want to live here."
Before Gongsun He could say anything, the voice of Huang Langzhong came from behind him: "I asked him to live here. He had a stomachache yesterday, vomited and diarrhea. I was worried that his condition would worsen at night. After all, I was a man of age, so I asked him to live here, and he could be treated at any time if there was any problem."
Huang Haichuan is still a little bit handsome in Tunzhou. After all, his medical skills are pretty good. Many people come to see him for treatment, including Captain Cui, who is also a regular customer of his pharmacy. There is a headache and fever who comes here to catch the side medicine, and the price is also discounted. When Captain Cui saw Doctor Huang, he smiled and bowed his hand. He said, "Shopkeeper Huang, I'm sorry, because he had a murder, he disturbed him late at night. Don't blame him for offending him."
Yi Xingchen also got up and put on his clothes. He stood behind his master. When he heard Captain Cui say that a murder occurred, he couldn't help but shivered.
Gongsun He was so scared that his whole body shook and asked, "Murder case? What kind of murder case?"
Captain Cui smiled coldly and said, "What kind of murder case? The girl Xinghua you went to ** to find last night was killed. And her maid, both of them died in the house. Xinghua's savings of gold, silver and jewelry were robbed. Mr. Gongsun, tell me, what's going on?"
Yi Xingchen was really stunned when he heard that Xinghua was actually killed.
At that time, the hexagram that Master Gongsun He calculated for Xinghua for marriage was very good on the surface, and the hexagram was a very good one. However, it changed in his mind. The three hexagrams, the lower mutual hexagram and the upper mutual hexagram were all gold, and they kept flashing, and the color was also black and bright, which was a great bad thing. Now, he understood what was going on.
The Qian hexagram represents swords and other weapons, and flashes with a black death breath that represents great evil. This clearly represents a blood disaster, indicating that those who seek the hexagram will have life worries. However, if you want to make such a terrible conclusion, unless such a result occurs in the end, you will know that it should be explained like this. At that time, no fortune teller dared to make such a conclusion. Even Yi Xingchen, who has already obtained the inheritance of the fortune teller's founder, Guiguzi, did not have such courage.
If Yi Xingchen had boldly told the Apricot Girls and the others about this result, it might have saved their lives. Unfortunately, on the one hand, Yi Xingchen's trust in the hexagram in his mind had not reached a high enough level, and he was not sure enough to interpret the hexagram. On the other hand, the Apricot Girls and the others drove them away at that time and did not listen to Yi Xingchen's reminder at all. After all, since he could see the opportunity from the hexagram, he could have helped to avoid this result, but he still failed to save their lives, which made Yi Xingchen feel depressed.
Gongsun He heard the last words of Captain Cui and asked him what was going on. He seemed to be suspicious of Gongsun He committing this murder case, which scared Gongsun He so much that he kept trembling. Before he could wake up from the bad news of Xinghua's murder, he immediately began to worry about his fate. In a hurry, he trembled and stammered, "Catcher, I..., I didn't kill them, my apprentice and I went to make a fortune. They treated me to eat... and then came out. Because... I was drunk, my apprentice helped me... to the Haichuan Pharmacy Store, and Doctor Huang gave me medicine..., worried that my condition would worsen at night, so... let me live in him. - I didn't kill them, why should I kill them...?"
Captain Cui waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, we have already gone to Cuixianglou to investigate. The Turtle Master and many girls at the door proved that your master and apprentice were drunk and left Cuixianglou. Then, the girl Xinghua asked the kitchen to prepare hot water for her to take a bath. Many people proved that after you left, Xinghua and her maid were still alive, so of course it was not yours. I found that the body was almost dawn, and someone smelled the blood in the house. When I opened the door, I found that they were hacked to death in the house. That is, it was about half an hour away. At that time, the body was still warm, and it was proved that they had died not long ago. However, after checking, we knew that you were the last guest she received. Many people proved that there was a noise in your house. Xinghua and her maid drove you away. I came to ask you, just to know why you quarreled at that time? Why did she chase you away?"
Gongsun He didn't understand what was going on at that time, and did not pay attention to the kind lies made up by Yi Xingchen, so he never understood why the Xinghua girl drove them away. Now that Captain Cui asked this, Zhang Huang didn't know how to answer.
Yi Xingchen quickly said, "It's not a big deal. The Xinghua girl asked my master to stay overnight, but we said we had no money. So the Xinghua girl got angry and drove us away. That's it."
Captain Cui nodded. This reason is believed because Gongsun He is a poor fortune teller. Of course, Captain Cui knows this. The woman only recognizes money but not people, not to mention Gongsun He is still a bad old man. However, Captain Cui still sneered and said, "Are you angry after being driven away by Xinghua? After you secretly go back to kill someone in the middle of the night to vent your anger and rob people of their money by the way?
Gongsun He was so scared that he almost knelt on the ground. Zhang Huang said, "No..., no, I didn't kill anyone..., I really didn't kill someone..."
He tossed and turned over and over, and obviously he was so scared that he was a little confused.
Yi Xingchen hurriedly said, "My master and I came out of Cuixianglou and came directly to the medicine shop, and then we never left. You said just now that we left, the girl Xinghua took a shower. Many people proved that she was still alive at that time, so it was impossible for us to do the case, because my master and I have been sleeping here, and people in the room can prove it."
Lao Zhang and several guys were also nodded quickly, and some guys said that Gongsun He had been sighing all night, and they couldn't sleep. It proved that they had never been out. Besides, the only door in the bunk was tied up at that time and was pressed with the top door bar. It was impossible for them to go out without disturbing others, so it was absolutely impossible for him to kill him.
Gongsun He was very grateful to hear that Lao Zhang and his friends testified for him.
Yi Xingchen was so nervous that he was sweating coldly in his forehead, and he secretly called luck. Fortunately, he had the foresight. When he left **, he deliberately spoke loudly to attract other people's attention. He also found an excuse to stay in the pharmacy overnight and found a witness. If their master and apprentice had gone home to sleep before, he really couldn't explain what was going on. At least there was a proof of absence now, so it was impossible to suspect them.
What made him make this decision was the second line of the hexagram: "It is bad to not go out of the house." This line reminded him, made him alert, and made two wise decisions, and ultimately avoid falling into the circle of murder suspects.
Seeing so many people proving that Gongsun He did not leave the medicine shop at all, Captain Cui frowned again. He actually didn't believe that Gongsun He and his apprentice did it, because Gongsun He was a bad old man, and Yi Xingchen was still a weak and half-grown child. Neither of them could sneak into Cuixianglou to do such hidden violent acts of murder and robbery. Due to the on-site investigation, the girl Xinghua and her maid were both cut to death. Xinghua's head was chopped off halfway, and the maid's neck was almost cut off. So cruel, he didn't believe that people like their masters and apprentices could do it.
So, Captain Cui nodded and said, "Since there are so many evidences that you have not left the pharmacy, then it shouldn't be the two of you who killed people. Okay, let's disturb you and say goodbye."
After saying that, Captain Cui bowed to Huang's house and left the drug shop with several detectives.
Seeing that they left, Gongsun He felt as if he had twitched his muscles and bones. After a while, he felt weak all over and his feet were shaking, and he was almost about to sit on the ground. Fortunately, Yi Xingchen next to him supported him and helped him back to the bunk bed to sit down. After Huang came in, he took his wrist to take his pulse and said, "Mr. Gongsun, they just came to check it out routinely, don't be nervous."
Gongsun He just looked at the wall in front of him with a dull look, not knowing what he was thinking. He seemed to have no reaction to Huang's words.
