Xiao Yihan said expressionlessly, "Just start from the first time you framed Chu Baichuan!"
Qin Junyi sighed and slowly recounted how he murdered He Lao's family.
"Two months ago, I was working overtime and returning home very late at night. Halfway there, a masked man stopped me and took me to a dilapidated house.
He told me directly that he had a grudge against the He family and wanted to take revenge on them. He asked me to report and expose Chu Baichuan. If I succeeded in this matter, all the property of the He family would be inherited by me.
I didn't agree at that time because I couldn't afford to offend Uncle He. If my report failed, I would definitely be dealt with by Uncle He.
The masked man put a knife to my neck and said that if I did it, he would give me another thousand yuan, but if I didn't, he would kill my whole family.
I was really scared at that time. His knife cut my neck. I had no choice but to agree to his request.
He first gave me five hundred yuan and told me that Chu Baichuan had a painting called "Spring in Kyoto". He asked me to find the painting and report him to the Revolutionary Committee. If the report was successful, he would give me another five hundred yuan.
I went to Chu Baichuan's house twice, but I didn't have the chance to enter the study. Later, I secretly made a bunch of keys for Chu Baichuan, intending to sneak in and take a look when he was not at home.
As a result, before I could do anything, the man in black came to me anxiously and told me that the plan had changed and asked me to report to the Revolutionary Committee immediately, the sooner the better.
I had seen these paintings in Baichuan's study before, so I didn't bother to look at them. Anyway, I could find them during the house search, so I just reported them. You all know the final result.
Because the report was unsuccessful, the man in black was very angry. In order to calm his anger, I gave him a key that I had secretly made, and he gave me five hundred yuan.
I thought he would never look for me again, but a few days later he found me again. He said there was nothing in Chu Baichuan's study and asked me to find a way to get rid of Uncle He and then frame Chu Baichuan.
I told him that I would never do it again. Chu Baichuan had already moved into the compound, and I had no chance to deal with him. I let him figure it out on his own.
He threatened me with the lives of my entire family again. I was really angry at the time and no longer afraid, so I told him directly that he had tricked me to this extent anyway.
If I get rid of Uncle He, I'll have to sacrifice my life. It's death anyway, so let him handle it! He grabbed my neck and almost strangled me to death.
I don't know what he was thinking, but he let go of my hand. When I was gasping for breath, he said to me, "Just wait and see, you will agree to my request."
He let me go and left, but I didn't expect that he would find my parents. My parents are the kind of people who are greedy for money.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have deceived Uncle He into trusting me, letting him support me, and then stealing money from his house to support our large family.
My mother came to me every day to ask for advice. She said that the man gave her two gold bars and asked us to find a way to get rid of Uncle He first.
Once he dies, Chu Baichuan will have no one to rely on, and then we can frame him. After the crime is committed, we will give him ten small yellow croakers, and then all the property of the He family will belong to us.
She discussed it with my father and several younger brothers and decided that it was worth a try. If it succeeded, our Qin family would be able to enjoy prosperity and wealth.
My mother asked me about Mr. He’s living habits and told me that it would be best if we could get rid of him without anyone knowing.
I told my family about Mr. He's living habits, and when they heard that I liked to eat mushrooms.
My father remembered that a family in his hometown accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms and all six members of the family were poisoned to death. It just so happened that Uncle He liked to eat fried dried mushrooms, so we decided to get some poisonous mushrooms to poison him to death.
In this way, others will think that Uncle He died from eating poisonous mushrooms by mistake, and will not think that he was poisoned to death, and we can achieve our goal.
My father would hang out in the compound when he had nothing to do, and he discovered that Mr. He went to a nearby state-owned restaurant to eat fried mushrooms almost every Thursday.
Coincidentally, Xiao Ding, a colleague of my sister-in-law at the meat processing plant, was married to a chef at that state-owned restaurant.
My mother asked my sister-in-law to find out about Mr. He's habits during a casual chat, and she also learned from the chef's wife that the chef's younger brother was very greedy and often secretly asked the chef to prepare some delicious food for him to satisfy his hunger.
He also complained that his brother's family was lazy and greedy, and that doing this was just cheating them!
We also often asked him about the recent situation in the kitchen. We prepared for a long time and finally waited for a suitable opportunity when there was someone in the kitchen to take care of the confinement period, when there were the least staff.
I heard that there would be a lot of mushrooms in the woods in the suburbs after it rained, so my mother and my wife went to the suburbs to pick a basket of mushrooms on the weekend.
To ensure that there would be no mistakes, we decided to buy two live chickens to test the poison first. We fed them twice at home, and both chickens were poisoned to death.
My mother took the two dead chickens home and gave them to my sister-in-law, asking her to bury them near the meat processing plant. That way, even if there was a bad smell or someone found them, no one would suspect anything and no one would think that it was my sister-in-law who buried the dead chickens.
On Thursday morning, I returned home early, using the excuse of feeling unwell. As for the process of committing the crime, I think Xiaojian has told you all. If you still have questions, you can ask me."
Xiao Yihan waved his hand and took Qin Junyi out. Before leaving, he actually wanted to make a final struggle. He knelt down in front of Mr. He again and begged Mr. He to forgive him.
Mr. He didn't even look at him. Chu Jingqiu snorted coldly and said, "Qin Junyi, you ungrateful, white-eyed wolf, you actually shamelessly asked my grandfather to forgive you. If it weren't for the timely rescue, my grandfather would have been killed by you.
"You'd better take back your hypocritical face! You ask others to repay evil with kindness, but how can we repay kindness? If we are soft-hearted again, we will be the biggest fools in the world. You can wait to pay the price for your evil deeds!"
Qin Junyi collapsed into a puddle of mud and was carried out.
Next, Old Man Qin was brought in. As soon as he entered the door, he cried out that he was innocent and knew nothing. He said that it was all his wife and Qin Junyi who did it and he knew nothing.
"You said you knew nothing. Then who followed Mr. He every day and found out that he went to the state-owned restaurant for dinner every Thursday?" Xiao Yihan asked in a solemn and cold voice.
Old Man Qin originally thought that his son would not reveal this detail. Beads of sweat appeared on his forehead, and he wiped them back and forth with his sleeves.
He spoke incoherently, "I was just keeping watch for them. I really didn't participate in anything else. I was just momentarily possessed by a ghost, I..."
Xiao Yihan's voice rang out again, "How did you contact the masked man? Tell me, it's already this late. If we continue to resist, we'll only end up dead."
