Chapter 9 The Shanshuilou Murder Case (3)
Bai Jue nodded, "Okay, I believe in the general."
Then let the subordinates start searching the entire floor of Shanshui Building.
In fact, Gu Wanqing wanted to say that there was no need. She just wanted to go home early and found an excuse.
The mechanism or something was just her intuition and random guessing.
But Bai Jue obviously had no intention of letting anyone go. Gu Wanqing sat on the table and used a fan to drive away his heat.
Soon, clues were found.
"Master Bai Er, there is a small hole here! It looks like a mechanism!"
Gu Wanqing almost choked by her saliva, but she actually had a mechanism.
There is indeed a small hole about five meters high in the beam.
The small hole was facing the direction where Gao Susu fell.
Bai Jue said: "I'll bother the general to go up and check it out. I'm injured, it's inconvenient."
Gu Wanqing thought to herself that it was troublesome, but out of curiosity, she flew onto the beam.
She was graceful in red clothes, and her lightness posture was like an immortal, which made everyone sigh that although she was a broom star, she was still beautiful.
Gu Wanqing observed carefully and said, "This is a trap we often use when siegeing the city. The principles are the same. After the triggering is activated, an arrow hidden inside will fly out quickly and hit the target. This is much stronger than the power of a person pulling a bow."
Bai Jue said: "How did the mechanism touch? Did Miss Gao's family step on the trap himself?"
"It shouldn't be. There were many people coming and going at that time, and there were people around Miss Gao. Unless it was shooting indiscriminately, the murderer was very sure that Gao Susu would definitely stand in this position at that time before he would trigger the mechanism with his own hands."
"No wonder the general said that the murderer was among them."
"Yes, he must be able to see Miss Gao's actions clearly."
Gu Wanqing fell to the ground and looked around.
Thinking of this, she finally understood where the sense of incongruity came from just now.
Gu Wanqing approached the guqin and tweaked it twice, "This string is the mechanism."
"What's the solution?"
"The corner of the guqin is fixed on the table, and the strings are connected to the mechanism." Gu Wanqing looked at Chen Zezhou, who had been innocent from behind, "Right, Mr. Chen?"
Chen Zezhou's pupils shrank and said, "General Wanqing, I don't understand what you are talking about. I just borrowed the guqin. Even if this zither has a mechanism, it has nothing to do with me."
Gu Wanqing raised her eyebrows, and when she saw that he refused to admit it, she lifted her clothes and sat next to the piano.
"Mr. Chen, please stand in this position and listen to me playing the piano."
Gu Wanqing led him to the place where Gao Susu was standing just now.
Chen Zezhou said: "What are you going to do?"
Gu Wanqing smiled and said, "It's okay if you listen."
His fingertips paused for a moment, and then he started playing from the second part of Feng Qiuhuang.
The fingering and tone are exactly the same as what Chen Zezhou played just now.
Even the mistakes that Gu Wanqing made at the beginning were exactly the same.
Chen Zezhou listened and a cold sweat broke out from his forehead.
I heard a whoosh behind me, and an arrow flew out and stabbed towards Chen Zezhou.
However, Chen Zezhou made a fuss and quickly avoided it.
Gu Wanqing grabbed the arrow with one hand and the sound of the piano stopped.
She smiled heavily, "It's you."
Everyone was almost shocked, and Chen Zezhou obviously knew that the mechanism would trigger it at this moment.
Gu Wanqing said, "You made a move on the song to shoot the arrows naturally. In fact, you wanted to do something from the beginning. Miss Gao was also standing in this position, but I was interrupted and the mechanism could not be triggered. Seeing that I was in the watchtower, you went to play the piano again. The sound of the piano attracted Miss Gao, and you had the opportunity to do it. Your avoidance just now is enough to show that you do know the mechanism of the strings!"
Bai Jue applauded three times, "General Wan Qing is not only extremely brave, but also so well-versed in the music."
Gu Wanqing ignored his flattery, threw an arrow on the ground, clapped his hands and stood up.
"Young Master Chen, you must be thinking about how to argue now, right? But you have already been locked in. Just find someone to investigate. Whoever frequently goes out to Shanshui Building during this period, who has moved the piano again, and who has the most motive for Miss Gao's family, will soon make you speechless."
Seeing that he had been exposed, Chen Zezhou had no way to defend himself, his face suddenly changed and said, "Yes! That's right! I killed her! Who told her to fall in love with someone else and ruined our engagement!"
The crowd said, "It turns out that the rumors of the Chen family and the Gao family are in a relationship, but even so, you shouldn't have killed her!"
"She is a kind-hearted woman! She said she would forget the friendship between us. Shouldn't she die? Today's Feng Qiuhuang is our love song. I deliberately played it wrong, but she looked at me with a sarcastic look, as if the friendship between us had never existed. Since I couldn't get it, I would ruin her!"
Chen Zezhou was like a lunatic when he spoke.
Bai Jue sneered: "Being trapped by love, hurt by love, both sides are hurt."
Gu Wanqing had a headache when she heard this, so she picked up an open space to sit down.
I always think this incident was solved too easily?
Is this considered a fortune-telling redirection?
——Of course it’s not that easy.
When the Gao family came to collect the body, they cried and made a fuss. Even though they knew that the murderer was Chen Zezhou, they still pointed the finger at Gu Wanqing.
Mr. Gao scolded that Gu Wanqingke had killed her daughter. He had never attended a class meeting before, but something happened as soon as he participated.
Mrs. Gao was not willing to be outdone and pointed at Gu Wanqing and said, "I want to sue the emperor! Not only will I punish Chen Zezhou, but I will also punish you, the broom star!"
Gu Wanqing:???
What does it have to do with her? She did nothing and the murderer was caught. Why would he be punished?
Later, someone came to the government and the farce ended.
Gu Wanqing shook the fan irritatedly and said, "The case has been solved, we idle people should be able to leave, right?"
Bai Jue said: "Of course. It's possible. It took everyone so long. I will make a compensation in the future and hold another elegant meeting."
Everyone was frightened and said to themselves - Don't be fine!
The Shanshui Tower was soon empty, and everyone was still scared and dared not stay for too long.
Gu Wanqing was still worried about whether Xuan Ming had found Ruohong, but she couldn't stay for too long and could only go back home first.
As soon as he left the Shanshui Tower, Bai Jue appeared to stop him.
Gu Wanqing flew back and said vigilantly: "Is there anything else that Mr. Bai has to do?"
Bai Jue was alone, with no guards around him.
He smiled evilly, "The general has been absent-minded at the banquet today. Are he looking for someone?"
Gu Wanqing avoided her eyes and said guiltily: "No."
Bai Jue bent down and said in her ear: "If I were looking for someone, I might be able to help. The Marquis' Mansion has many people and a wide area. Maybe the person the general is looking for is lost, and it may not be necessary to be a guest in the Marquis' Mansion?"
"you!……"
