That night, Qi Yasheng stayed in the dormitory at her workplace.
The phone rang early the next morning in Su Ruyi's living room.
This is the first time the phone has rung since everything was fine the day before yesterday.
Su Ruyi answered the phone, and Qi Yasheng's anxious voice came from the other end: "Dr. Su, my sister is dead!"
When Qi Yasheng picked up Su Ruyi and the two arrived at the Qi family compound, the entire alley in front of the compound was already completely blocked.
This news is absolutely explosive!
It should be noted that the Qi family is a prestigious family that has stood for over a century.
Within this short month, not only the old master of the Qi family, but also his arrogant and domineering only daughter, passed away one after another, and both deaths were unnatural. This was extremely strange.
The neighbors gossiped and chattered, their voices like a swarm of annoying mosquitoes buzzing around Su Ruyi's ears.
Qi Yasheng struggled to separate the group of people and led Su Ruyi into the courtyard.
The first thing Su Ruyi saw was that annoying Qi Zhao, who was holding Xia Tianxiu in his arms and comforting her.
Xia Tianxiu held a handkerchief that was already soaked with tears in her hand, looking like she was about to faint, and kept sobbing.
When Qi Yasheng saw Xia Tianxiu, her eyes practically blazed with fire.
He rushed forward and pulled her out of Qi Zhao's arms: "You still have the nerve to cry, you murderer! Come on! Let's go see the police!"
Xia Tianxiu hurriedly shrank back while looking at Qi Zhao: "Uncle, save me! Save me! Uncle has gone mad!"
Xia Tianxiu called Qi Zhao "little uncle" and Qi Yasheng "uncle".
In reality, Qi Zhao was just his cousin, but he addressed him as "little uncle" much more affectionately, and it was quite effective.
Upon hearing her words, Qi Zhao rushed forward almost immediately, grabbing one of them with each hand and separating Qi Yasheng and Xia Tianxiu. Then, Qi Yasheng glared angrily at him: "What are you doing? What are you doing? Why are you taking your anger out on Yue'er?"
Qi Yasheng was so angry that she stammered, "She's not Yue'er, she's a fraud! She's an imposter! We've found the real Yue'er!"
Unexpectedly, Qi Zhao didn't believe Qi Yasheng at all, and instead gave him and Su Ruyi a contemptuous look: "Yue'er told me all about these things. Brother Yasheng, I advise you to use your brain and not be fooled by people with ill intentions! Why didn't Second Grandfather send a message to me in a dream? Why did he have to find an outsider? This sounds like utter nonsense!"
Upon hearing this, Qi Yasheng finally realized that Qi Zhao had already been brainwashed by Xia Tianxiu!
He didn't say anything more, only asking, "Where is my sister?"
Qi Zhao said, "It's already been taken to the funeral home."
Qi Yasheng frowned: "Why? Qi Zhao, what are you covering up for Xia Tianxiu?"
Qi Zhao sighed, "Ya Sheng, you're too prejudiced."
Qi Yasheng snorted and glanced at Xia Tianxiu: "Xia Tianxiu, you're really something! But don't think you can get away with this! After we left last night, only you and my sister were at home. How could my sister suddenly die? Tell me."
Qi Zhao pulled Xia Tianxiu close again, shielding her with his body: "Ya Sheng, come at me! I was the first to find Ya Qin's body!"
"You were the first to discover it?" Qi Yasheng was stunned.
"Yes, I got off the train at around 4 a.m. yesterday and arrived here around 5:30 p.m."
"Why didn't you go home after you got off the train? What are you doing here?"
"I... I was mainly worried about Yue'er, so I thought I'd come and check on her. Besides, if I go back and wake up the old man, he'll just give me a lecture. When I come back from business trips, if I have time, I often come here too. You know we have a lot of houses here, so why are you asking this question when you already know the answer?"
Qi Yasheng was speechless for a moment after his question: "...Then continue, how did you find out?"
"Everything was fine as soon as I walked in."
The courtyard was quiet and deserted.
As you know, during this period, it's just you, my sister, and Yue'er living in this courtyard.
I walked towards the living room, thinking I'd put my suitcase down first.
As soon as he reached the door, he tripped and fell.
It was a soft, squishy thing that gave me quite a fright.
Then I turned on the light and saw my sister lying on the ground.
I knew something was wrong right away, and I tried to wake him up a few times, but he wouldn't wake up.
In my panic, I turned her over, but she still didn't wake up.
When I looked again, I saw that she had bumped her forehead and had a large bloody bump.
I panicked and quickly checked her pulse and breath—she was already not breathing.
On the living room table was my sister's water glass.
You know my sister has a habit of getting up at night; she must have tripped over the threshold when she came to get a drink of water!
Then, after making a lot of noise on my end, Yue'er finally came out wearing a coat.
Upon seeing her mother like this, she immediately burst into tears!
Then they started making arrangements to take him to the hospital.
Actually, they're already completely dead, so why bother sending them to the hospital?
If I don't deliver it, Yue'er will insist, crying and hitting me until I do.
In the end, I had no choice but to send it over.
They took it directly to the funeral home after sending it there.
Su Ruyi and Qi Yasheng listened quietly to Qi Zhao's story.
As she spoke, Xia Tianxiu sobbed intermittently, just like a girl who had truly lost her mother, filled with fear, panic, and unease.
After listening, Su Ruyi frowned and said, "Comrade Qi Zhao, let me explain it to you—"
You came back from your business trip and found that Qi Yaqin was dead, right?
You didn't see how he died, did you?"
Qi Zhao retorted angrily, "This is our family matter, what does it have to do with you? Shut your stinking mouth!"
Qi Yasheng said, "How dare you speak to Dr. Su like that? Dr. Su is a great benefactor to our family!"
Qi Zhao snorted: "Benefactor, I think enemy is more like it! Ever since I got involved with this Doctor Su, not only did my second grandfather die, but now Sister Yaqin is gone too. I think she's a jinx!"
As soon as the words "jinx" were uttered, Su Ruyi's gaze instantly shifted to Xia Tianxiu's face—it seemed that the title of "jinx" had spread to Beijing and reached Qi Zhao's ears through Xia Tianxiu's promotion.
Su Ruyi wasn't too angry. On the contrary, she didn't think that Qi Zhao, who was simple-minded and impulsive, was so scary.
She said in a gentle voice:
"Comrade Qi Zhao, you only need to answer one question to me—"
Did you witness firsthand how Qi Yaqin passed away?
You said she tripped on the threshold, but that's just your assumption!
The fact that everyone knows is that only Xia Tianxiu and Qi Yaqin were home last night!
When you got home, it was past five in the morning, and Qi Yaqin was already dead!
So, who is most likely to kill her?
