Chapter 38 The Pig Butcher
Xia Chu and Jiang Xiyuan retreated from the scene of the crime, and Liu Qi caught up halfway, complaining, "You don't even call me."

Xia Chu took out the package of honey-soaked hawthorn and handed it to Liu Qi, "Eat one, it makes me sick."

Liu Qi took it and glanced at Jiang Xiyuan, "Master, take a look at him."

"That's what I bought!"

After crossing Pingguang Street and entering Nancheng, Xia Chu remembered something, turned around and asked Liu Qi, "By the way, what happened to that Xian Niang?"

"Oh, I forgot to mention this. A man did go to Zhao Xianniang's house this morning. He didn't come out until after lunch. He followed him to Sanliushu Street and saw him enter a yard. Then I went up to the wall to look. There was an old woman in the man's house, and I listened closely to what he told the old woman. The thread girl was pretty good, and my uncle's legs were not so good, but it was nothing serious. It sounds like a relative .”

"Oh." Xia Chu nodded, now that he has a clear goal, Xianniang can let it go.

"Stop keeping an eye on it? Everyone who is on the lookout is sick with cold."

Xia Chu laughed and said hard, "Don't stare, let's check other people now."

"Check who?"

"It should be the same person who killed Gong Yuan and Ruan Xi. At present, it is preliminarily determined that that person is the backyard of the Shihua Pavilion. Now go back and ask suspicious questions." Xia Chu said.

"There are a lot of people in the backyard, and some of them have left recently. How do you find suspicious people?"

"First of all, those who are short and thin are basically ruled out as suspicious. I saw that those in the backyard can also be ruled out. Mr. Liu, he can kill Gong Yuanhe's big guy, and the two killings are sharp, and he can stab the heart with one knife. There are not many people..." Xia Chu suddenly had a flash of inspiration when he said this.

Jiang Xiyuan seemed to have thought of it at the same time. He exchanged a glance with Xia Chu, and said in unison: "Pig butcher!"

When Jiang Xiyuan asked Xia Chu what blood pressure was before, Xia Chu asked him to ask a pig butcher.It's just that it was an unintentional remark at the time, and I didn't think about it. Looking back, it seemed to be a circle.

Liu Qi was at a loss, "What kind of butcher?"

The banquets in the Planting Flower Pavilion have always been extravagant, and there are seven or eight cooks in the back kitchen, some of whom are in charge of the white case, some are in charge of the red case, and some are in charge of slaughtering animals, such as chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep and fish.

At the beginning of Xia Xia, their focus naturally fell on the person who slaughtered the animal, that is, Ma Qingquan.

Xia Chu still remembered that Ruan Xi had asked Ma Qingquan if it was true that Li Erping had murdered him, and at that time Ma Qingquan was walking in through the backyard door.It is not certain whether he was in the elegant courtyard before, but he is definitely not in the backyard.

After the target was locked, Xia Chu recalled Ma Qingquan's reaction at that time, and felt suspicious.

At that time, Ruan Xi first asked Fan Youyu, but Fan Youyu asked Xia Chu to go and see quickly, because everyone knew that the two of them had a good relationship.But Ma Qingquan said to Ruan Xi at that time: "...don't panic."

Why did you tell Ruan Xi not to panic?Because Ma Qingquan knew the relationship between Ruan Xi and Li Erping, he wanted to keep Ruan Xi safe.It was dark at that time, and Xia Chu didn't think about him at all, so he didn't notice his expression.

Xia Chu felt a little excited for the delineation of this area.If the murderer was Ma Qingquan, then the technique of piercing the heart with a knife and the place where the blood spattered from the heart would all be explained.

There is blood on the body of the slaughtered animal, which is very normal!
After the excitement, Xia Chu sighed again, feeling a little heavy in his heart.If he could have thought at that time, maybe the real culprit had already been caught, and maybe Li Erping would not have died.

Jiang Xiyuan saw that Xia Chu's expression was gloomy, and he roughly knew what she was thinking, so he said, "The world is unpredictable, you have worked very hard, don't blame yourself."

Xia Chu nodded silently, feeling a sense of gratitude towards Jiang Xiyuan in his heart.

What's interesting is that Ma Qingquan didn't take advantage of the chaos and closed the door after the murder occurred. He still came to the back kitchen every day to hang around, napping and chatting as if nothing happened.

Xia Chu felt that the reason why he didn't quit his job before was because he meant to monitor Ruan Xi, but Ruan Xi was already dead, if he really killed him, he still comes to work now, which is enough to prove that he is a guy with a strong heart.

Right now, all doubts about Ma Qingquan were based on inferences. Although Xia Chu firmly believed in this inference, she didn't have any evidence at hand.
