female catcher

Chapter 29
After Xia Chu heard the news of Li Erping's death, he stood still for a while, then turned around and ran away.Jiang Xiyuan hurriedly asked Liu Qi to follow.

Liu Qi thought she was going to the government office, but Xia Chu turned a corner in the corridor and went straight to the floor.

"Brother Xia, what are you doing here?" Liu Qi asked her after chasing after her.

Xia Chu didn't say a word, rushed up to the second floor in three steps at a time, found Liu Ying's room, and kicked the door open without saying a word.

Liu Ying was arranging her jewelry and silver in the room. When she heard the noise, she subconsciously closed the box and hugged it in her arms. When she saw that it was Chu Xia, she couldn't help saying angrily: "You unruly bastard! My old lady..."

Xia Chu didn't talk nonsense with her, and walked in with big strides, and kicked out the crescent stool that was blocking the way, and rushed to Liu Ying.

Liu Ying was so frightened that she backed away, and her maid rushed over to block Xia Chu, "You little servant actually ran to..."

"Get up! I don't have time to talk nonsense with you!" Xia Chu stretched out his hand to push the maid aside, the maid staggered a few steps but went back and forth, and raised her hand to greet Xia Chu's face.

Liu Qi, who was behind him, was about to step forward to stop him, but Xia Chu raised his hand to block the maidservant's arm, turned around, bent over, fell over her shoulder, and threw the maidservant directly to the ground.Liu Qijing's eyes almost popped out.

Liu Ying yelled in fright, holding the box on her chest tightly with one hand, and stretched forward the other hand in vain, "Don't come here! Don't come here! I'm calling someone! I killed someone... ..."

Xia Chu raised her leg and accurately kicked the box in her arms away, quickly grabbed her hand and twisted it behind her, Liu Ying screamed in pain, her face was stained with tears.

"Shut up! If I ask you what, answer me truthfully!" Xia Chu said in a cold voice.

"I..., I answer, I answer..."

"The day Gong Yuanhe died, what exactly did you do, tell me exactly what you did!"

"I..., I've said it all! It's all true." Liu Ying said while crying, and Xia Chu put a little more strength into her hand, "Think about it again!"

Liu Ying cried, "I said, I said! In fact, that day, Mr. Qiao asked me to steal something from Mr. Gong."

"what?"

"The jade pendant on his body is a gold-wrapped jade pendant given to him by his aunt. It is worth a lot of silver. Mr. Qiao was posed by Mr. Gong. He couldn't swallow it, so he made me drunk and Mr. Gong stole the jade pendant." Come here and give it to him, he promised me 100 taels, and I agreed."

Xia Chu's hand loosened slightly, "Did you steal it?"

Liu Ying sniffed and nodded, "Stole it. After Mr. Gong wanted to urinate, I told him that the bucket in the cleaning room in my house was broken and I couldn't replace it with a new one, so he went out. I... I heard him swearing some dirty words outside, and when there was no movement, I thought he had gone to have a pee, so I went out, and wanted to hand the jade pendant to Mr. Qiao quickly, so that Mr. Gong would not wake up and find out that it would make people Search my house. Then..., and then Mr. Gong died."

"Where's that jade pendant?" Xia Chu asked.

Liu Ying glanced at the box that was kicked away by Xia Chu and the jewelry all over the place, "It's just..., it's right there."

Liu Qi went over and looked through it, picked up something from inside to have a look, and said to Xia Chu, "It's jade covered with gold."

Liu Ying quickly nodded, "The Mr. Gong is dead. I thought that no one would find out that he lost something. Even if I found out, I didn't have to admit it, so I kept it myself. I don't know about the others. I really don't know." I don’t know anymore!”

Xia Chu loosened Liu Ying and pushed her onto the bed, staring blankly at the scattered jewelry.

There was nothing suspicious about Liu Ying's confession this time, which could explain why she went to the west side where there were no lights, and why Qiao Xingli gave Liu Ying to Gong Yuanhe so happily.

Could it be that Qiao Xingli killed him while he was waiting for Liu Ying to give him the jade pendant?Is there such a possibility?

The timing of the crime was established, but due to the part of stealing things, Qiao Xingli's motive for committing the crime was not as strong as it seemed before.

Xia Chu lowered his head and sighed, turned around and wiped his eyes.After hearing the news of Li Erping's death, the anger subsided a lot after venting, and then a deep sadness welled up in my heart.

Erping died.Xia Chu never expected that Erping would die like this...

She believed that she would be able to avenge Li Erping, but she never thought that Li Erping would not be able to wait for that day.She underestimated the darkness of the government office, and her movements were still too slow.

"Brother Xia." Liu Qi came over and patted her on the shoulder, "Don't be too sad."

Xia Chu sniffed, turned her head and pointed at Liu Ying, which made Liu Ying tremble, shrank her body and said loudly: "I say, I say! I say everything!"
