Mr. Tan's identity is correct
"The yamen's detectives have investigated those close to Fugui. He is a well-known thief in the area who rapes women for money."
County Magistrate Dai spoke of Fugui with great disdain. Logically speaking, his death was to rid the people of a threat, but someone took action on their own and cut the body into pieces to vent their anger, which was a different matter.
"Fugui deserved to die. He accepted money from others and wanted to harm Madam Qi Liu. Master Qi Liu couldn't stand it anymore and sent someone to kill him."
Fu Xuechen revealed the cause of Fugui's death. Only on this matter did he and Qi Jinqian agree surprisingly. They both felt that people like Fugui deserved to die.
"Master Prime Minister, how did you know this? Do you know who bribed Fugui to humiliate Madam Qi Liu?"
County Magistrate Dai asked again. Since Fu Xuechen knew all this, he must have more evidence in his hands.
"The one who bribed him was a woman from my house. She's very jealous, and I've already punished her. I beg Magistrate Dai to show some mercy, and she hasn't succeeded."
Fu Xuechen spoke sincerely, after all, he was concerned that Liu Meishuang was the daughter of his benefactor, and what Liu Meishuang had done was not irreversible.
The great evil was committed by Qi Jinqian, and Liu Meishuang's minor evil that was not worth mentioning was not worth mentioning at all.
"I see. Thank you, Prime Minister, for providing our office with the direction for the investigation. I will send someone to investigate thoroughly."
County Magistrate Dai had a rough idea in his mind and also gained a new understanding of Qi Jinqian's behavior.
"There's one more thing. Su Huaihai has made some progress. Madam Qi Liu will tell you about it after we go out."
Fu Xuechen mentioned Su Huaihai's case.
County Magistrate Dai nodded, then opened the door and the two men walked out one after the other.
Constable Peng asked curiously, "Sir, have you verified his identity?"
County Magistrate Dai nodded slightly, "Mr. Tan's identity is correct, and what he said is true."
Then, he turned to the main topic, "Sixth Madam Qi, please go with our yamen's constables."
Su Qingli was confused. She was only concerned about her father, Su Huaihai, and the government was also investigating. "County Magistrate Dai, are you talking about my father?"
Magistrate Dai emphasized the last four words slightly, "It's about your case, Madam Qi Liu."
Su Qingli opened her mouth, wondering if she had made a mistake. She pointed at her nose and asked, "Mine? I've been looking for my father a lot lately, and haven't offended anyone."
County Magistrate Dai knew that a few words would not be enough to explain it, and only seeing Fugui's body parts would be convincing. "You will know when you go and see it."
Su Qingli was more concerned about her father than her own affairs. "Then please, two detectives, lead the way."
Fu Xuechen wanted to go and give Su Qingli some courage. That was a body that had been cut into several pieces. The woman might not be able to sleep after seeing it. "I'll go with you."
They followed the two constables to the cellar of the charity cemetery. The cellar was cold and dim, and the two constables each held a candle to light the way forward.
"Madam Qi Liu, please be careful."
Constable Wu reminded them that the scene would be too exciting and he was worried that the two of them would not be able to bear it.
Two detectives led them to the door of a room in the cellar. When they pushed the door open, a strange smell filled the room.
Constable Peng flicked a lighter and lit a few lamps, immediately illuminating the environment inside, and the white cloth covering the corpse came into Su Qingli's sight.
Su Qingli's heartbeat quickened. "Did Magistrate Dai ask you to bring me here to identify the body?"
Constable Peng kindly reminded, "Mrs. Qi Liu, please rest assured that this dead body is not your father."
"It's good that he's not my father. Just reveal it to me!"
Constable Wu lifted the white cloth covering the body, and Su Qingli saw Fugui's body cut into several pieces.
Su Qingli's mind went blank in an instant, completely filled with fear. Fu Xuechen was right next to Su Qingli. He hurriedly pulled her into his arms and pressed her head against his chest.
"Don't be afraid, we are all here." Fu Xuechen was gentle as he comforted Su Qingli, but when he turned to speak to the two constables, his voice was filled with obvious anger, "Two constable brothers, please cover up again. Madam Qi Liu is a woman, and you didn't even tell her in advance!"
"Madam Qi Liu, we were inconsiderate and scared you just now. We are so sorry. Let's talk while we walk. This place is dark and spooky, and we don't like it either."
Constable Peng apologized, took the candlestick and walked towards the cellar exit.
Su Qingli's legs were weak. If Fu Xuechen hadn't supported her, she wouldn't have been able to take a single step. At this moment, she was like an octopus clinging to Fu Xuechen.
Fu Xuechen and the two constables accommodated her and slowly walked to the stone door of the cellar, and suddenly the light became bright.
Su Qingli grabbed the stone door with one hand, covered his chest with the other, and began to retch.
Fu Xuechen took out the silk handkerchief he carried in his arms and handed it to her, pretending to ask, "Are you okay? Do you recognize the corpse?"
"I saw his face. It was Fugui, the flower-stealing thief who wanted to bully me. I didn't expect him to be torn into pieces!"
Su Qingli did not feel the pleasure of revenge, but felt extremely terrified. The person who killed him was so cruel that Fugui's body was cut into pieces, with his head and limbs cut into pieces.
"After the autopsy by the coroner, it was found that the limbs of the deceased named Fugui were chopped off one by one before he died." Constable Peng read out the coroner's report. Their office had investigated countless cases, and the perverts of killing people and then dismembering the bodies alive were extremely rare.
Su Qingli's heart was broken, her fingers trembling, and the handkerchief fell to the ground. "Have you found out who killed him?"
"The suspect's name is Wang Laowu. He's an expert at wielding two axes. This body was chopped off with a pair of axes. According to our investigation, Wang Laowu is the only person within a few hundred miles who can wield two axes."
Constable Wu explained the conclusions they reached through their open and secret investigations.
"Wang Laowu is the one who came to my house to collect gambling debts some time ago. How could he kill Fugui?"
Su Qingli found it difficult to connect the hatred between the two people. It was simply unbelievable that Wang Laowu would come out and kill Fugui.
"Our office is still conducting further investigations, and your suspicion can be ruled out. We have found that this Fugui has a connection with you, Madam Qi Liu."
Constable Peng went through the motions as Magistrate Dai had instructed, testing how Su Qingli would react. Magistrate Dai did not completely believe Fu Xuechen's words, as he wanted to verify the truth of the case himself.
"It's impossible that I killed him. I have never learned martial arts, I can't use double axes, and I'm not afraid of your government investigating." Su Qingli didn't recover until this moment.
"We have long expected that you, Madam Qi Liu, could not be the murderer, but Fugui's death is very likely related to you."
