Chapter 112 How did this major case come to light?
In order to avoid the matter being exposed, Aunt Wen acted very carefully.
She was certain that the Xu family could not produce any evidence and was fearless.
Sure enough, Xu's father and mother were angry, but there was nothing they could do.
At this moment, Yun Qingqing spoke slowly:
"It's almost time."
Aunt Wen was stunned:
"What's arrived?"
Others were also confused.
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door. The doorman hurried over to open the door, and saw a charming girl in a green dress walking in with a Taoist priest.
The Taoist was about forty years old, with a hooked nose, triangular eyes, a long beard, and a whisk in his hand. The Wen family recognized him immediately:
"Isn't this Liu Banxian? Why is he here at this time?"
"You've come just in time. Wasn't it him who predicted the horoscopes of the eldest son and Xu Zhenzhen? It's a good opportunity to have a good chat with him."
"The horoscopes that the Xu family handed over were fake. If the batch was wrong, it's not Liu Banxian's fault, right?"
"No, aren't you curious about what this girl does? I've never seen her before."
Amidst the discussion, the girl in the green skirt walked straight towards Yun Qingqing and bowed slightly towards her:
"Pavilion Master, the people are here!"
"Well done."
Yun Qingqing nodded at her, and the girl in green skirt retreated contentedly behind her and waited.
Before Yun Qingqing set off in the morning, she sent a paper crane to convey a message to Mu Hongling and arranged two things.
The girl in green skirt was the first to do it. She spent some money to invite Liu Banxian to come over according to the address she gave.
But it was done in the name of the second wife of the Wen family.
When Liu Banxian saw the grand scene in the courtyard, he was stunned for a moment and then went straight to Aunt Wen, flicked his whisk and asked:
"What does the Second Madam want you to come here for?"
Aunt Wen had guessed the general idea of the conversation between the girl and Yun Qingqing after seeing it. She pointed at Yun Qingqing and frowned.
"I didn't come looking for you. It was clearly that woman who tricked you here in my name. I don't know what she's up to! You have nothing to do here. Go back first."
Liu Banxian turned his head with a stern face, and when he saw Yun Qingqing, his eyes immediately lit up and he smiled:
"Oh? Miss, are you looking for me?"
A clear light flashed in Yun Qingqing's eyes, and her eyes became even colder:
"Yes, I'm looking for you!"
Liu Banxian's smile widened:
"There are so many people here, it's not convenient to talk about things. If you have anything to say, why don't we find a quiet place to talk slowly?"
Yun Qingqing looked at him expressionlessly and said coldly:
"Why rush? Someone will talk to you later."
Liu Banxian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly the door was knocked again by a series of urgent sounds.
The concierge opened the door and was startled.
A group of officials rushed in, followed by a beautiful girl in a yellow skirt.
The girl in the yellow skirt also went straight to Yun Qingqing to greet her:
"Master, the mission is completed. Do you have any other instructions?"
Yun Qingqing nodded:
"It's okay for now. You've worked hard."
"It's not hard. I'm glad I can help the Pavilion Master!" The girl stood behind her happily.
The leading constable was stunned when he saw Yun Qingqing:
"You again?"
It was the black-skinned constable who was involved in the murder of Stone Mother on the first day of Tianming Pavilion's opening.
Yun Qingqing was not surprised at all and nodded slightly:
"Yes, I was the one who reported the case."
The black-skinned constable's face turned serious. He walked up to her and said in a deep voice:
"Do you really have any clues about the serial murders? This is a serious case and we can't take it lightly!"
When everyone in the Wen family heard his words, they held their breath and pricked up their ears.
I have no idea what this woman is doing. Wasn't she talking about a horoscope issue? Why did she even call the police?
What other murder case is involved?
They had also heard about the serial murders of people silencing others by stepping on flowers. It had caused quite a stir in the area recently, and families with young women were all in a panic.
Therefore, although this matter seemed to have nothing to do with the original topic, everyone still stared at Yun Qingqing and the constable, waiting for what would happen next.
Yun Qingqing didn't say a word and pointed directly at Liu Banxian:
"The murderer you are looking for is him."
hiss……
Wasn't it about the horoscope? How did it become a major case?
Everyone looked at Liu Banxian in unison, and the timid ones even stepped back and stayed away from him.
Liu Banxian's expression changed, and he angrily said on the spot:
"I have no grudge against you, why do you come here to frame me?"
The black-skinned constable was also surprised and looked at her seriously and said:
"Identifying the murderer is no small matter. Do you have any evidence?"
Yun Qingqing said:
"There's a dry well in the backyard of his residence. There's a loose brick inside that acts as a mechanism. Pressing it opens a secret door. Inside is all the 'trophies' he's collected from crimes over the years, far more than the cases you're investigating."
When Liu Banxian heard about the dry well, his face changed slightly, but he still managed to remain calm.
But by the time Yun Qingqing told him all about the mechanism and the secret door, sweat had already appeared on his forehead and his eyes began to roll around.
Yun Qingqing didn't give him a chance to play tricks, and directly reported the address, and then said:
"This man is cunning and vicious. I suggest you don't lead him as a guide. Send people to search directly to prevent him from escaping halfway."
The black-skinned constable was frightened when he heard this and immediately called two officers over and said:
"Go to the address she mentioned and search it!"
While he was talking, Liu Banxian suddenly rushed towards the door, trying to escape.
But the black-skinned constable was prepared. He dodged and kicked Liu Banxian in the chest. The other officers rushed forward and pinned him down.
With the knife on his neck, Liu Banxian finally lost his temper and stopped struggling. He just looked at Yun Qingqing viciously:
"I never thought that after being so proud for half my life, I would be defeated by a little girl like you. But don't be too proud too soon, I will never let you go!"
Yun Qingqing didn't care about his threats and raised her hand to stop the black-skinned constable who was about to take the man away:
"Wait a minute, he has an accomplice, right here in the yard."
When the black-skinned constable heard that there was an accomplice, he immediately had Liu Banxian tied up and politely clasped his fists towards her:
"Girl, tell me about the instructions. Who is the accomplice?"
Yun Qingqing pointed directly at Aunt Wen, who had remained silent for a long time.
"That's her."
Aunt Wen took a deep breath and screamed in shock:
"You're talking nonsense! How could I do such a heinous thing? What good would it do you to harm me? Do you know that false accusations are also a crime? I'm going to sue you at the government office!"
Her angry and anxious look did not seem fake, and many people in the Wen family spoke up for her:
"Are you mistaken? The Second Madam is usually warm-hearted and kind-hearted. Many people in the mansion have received her kindness."
"Yes, how could the Second Madam harm others? Even if this little girl has some ability, she can't use it to frame our Wen family for no reason!"
"Although Liu Banxian was brought in by the Second Madam, she must have been deceived. We can't treat her as an accomplice based on this!"
Seeing this, the black-skinned constable didn't know whether to believe it or not, so he could only say the routine words again:
"You said she was an accomplice to the murder, but do you have any evidence?"
The Second Madam was still angry and pointed at Yun Qingqing and scolded:
"I, Pan Fengqin, am upright and honest. I want to see what evidence you can produce!"
"Everyone here is watching. It's you who keeps throwing dirty water and accusing me!"
"If you can't produce evidence today, you must kneel down and kowtow ten times to apologize!"
There were many servants in the Wen family who supported the Second Madam. Seeing that she was so confident, they immediately agreed and asked Yun Qingqing to produce evidence, otherwise they would apologize to the Second Madam.
Yun Qingqing said calmly:
"The evidence has always been with you."
Aunt Wen was stunned for a moment, then sneered:
"Okay! You just want to use a body search to control me? I didn't expect you to humiliate a woman like this!"
"Okay, I'm going all out today. You can search me anywhere, but I have only one request!"
"I think you are Liu Banxian's accomplice. You might also have evidence on you. You must be searched together!"
