female catcher

Chapter 62 Confucian Fang Yi
Xia Chu finished the matter and was in a good mood. When he returned to the house, he saw Xu Lu and Wang Huai discussing with a stack of transcripts.

"Not bad." Xia Chu sat down at the table and poured himself a cup of tea, and praised, "I'm so relieved to be so motivated!"

"Thank you boss for the compliment!" Wang Huai is a policeman who needs the approval of others very much. Hearing Xia Chu's praise, he cupped his hands with a bright smile.

Xu Lu handed over the transcript to Xia Chu, "Boss, the investigation is almost done, and I finally finished the questioning before lunch, otherwise many people will leave after lunch." : "These people didn't have an alibi on the night of the crime, there are men and women, the main reason is this." He clicked on the top one.

"Fang Yi?" Chu Xia scanned roughly and frowned.

"Yes, this Fang Yi was engaged to Liu Ying before, but Liu Ying's side broke off the engagement. Actually, it's not an engagement, it's just a verbal agreement between the two families. Later, when the Fang family invited a matchmaker to propose marriage The Liu family didn't agree. The Liu family didn't want to talk about it, but Liu Ying's close sister mentioned it by chance."

"Why did you call off the engagement?"

"Well. Mr. Fang is from the fifth rank. Originally, the families of the two families were similar, but after the year Mr. Liu was promoted to the fourth rank, it seems that he looks down on the Fang family. Daughter, and the only daughter of the first wife, naturally wants to high married."

"Oh, that's what it means! There is a motive for committing the crime." Xia Chu lowered his head and looked at the transcript seriously. After reading it for a while, he couldn't help raising his eyebrows, "Huh? Did he meet Liu Ying that night?"

Xu Lu nodded, "This is also what one of Liu Ying's sisters said. She said that she helped Liu Ying bring the words to Fang Yi, and asked Fang Yi to meet at the Liujiao Pavilion in the Kuanyuan at night."

"Let's go!" Xia Chu stood up, but suddenly supported the table, closed his eyes and held his forehead.Xu Lu immediately asked, "Boss, what's the matter with you?"

Xia Chu breathed a sigh of relief, "You go and tell Fang Yi that I'm going to ask him this afternoon and ask him not to go back to the city for the time being. If it's okay to go back, I'll go directly to his house."

"Okay. Then, you are..."

Xia Chu waved his hand and walked out slowly, "I'll go eat first, I'm going to starve to death..."

At the beginning of Xia, he went to bed late and woke up early, and felt a little sleepy after eating.She struggled between going to ask questions and going to sleep, but she ran to the well to fetch water to wash her face, and then went to look for Fang Yi.

Xu Lu followed her, seeing that she looked weak, "Boss, why don't I ask."

Xia Chu shook his head, "It's not that the on-site inquiry will miss many details."

"I guarantee that the record will not miss a single word."

"That's different, and the words have no expression." Xia Chu turned and pointed at his face, "He moved his eyebrows, pursed his lips, when he paused and when he lowered his head, all may be clues, you can't remember them. Xu Lu, don't worry, it's better to handle the case independently later than to handle the wrong case."

Xu Lu nodded, and followed Xia Chu away with peace of mind.

When the early summer arrived, Fang Yi was reading a book in his room, and when he saw them, he got up to salute, without feeling annoyed at all because they delayed his return to the city.

At the beginning of Xia, he paid attention to the book Fang Yi was reading, which was "The Lotus Sutra of the Wonderful Law".

Fang Yi is 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders and long legs. He is a handsome man, with a gentle voice and a polite smile on his face.The clothes he was wearing were not luxurious, but they were neat and clean, just like his room, although it was a temporary residence, it was still meticulously tidied up.It can be seen that he is a very self-disciplined person.

Facing such a person, Xia Chu's voice unconsciously became softer and more polite, "Master Fang came to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple alone this time?"

"Oh, I came with my sister this time. She wanted to go outing in the countryside, and I happened to want to practice Zen and worship the Buddha, so I came together. Xia catches the head and drinks tea."

"Thank you." Xia Chu picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "Young Master Fang, do you know why I'm here?"

Fang Yi smiled, "It's about Miss Liu's case. Detective Xu has already come to ask me once this morning, and no one can prove where I am on the night of the incident. If Boss Xia has any doubts, feel free to Just ask."

Oops, this attitude is so endearing!Chu Xia silently gave him a thumbs up.

"May I ask, what is the relationship between Mr. Fang and Liu Ying?"

"This is really not a topic I want to bring up." Fang Yi was silent for a moment, picked up the teacup and took a sip slowly, "My father originally had a good relationship with Master Liu, so he arranged my marriage with Miss Liu in private It's just that the family has no mistress, and it took a long time for my father to invite a matchmaker to propose marriage, but the Liu family didn't recognize it... Of course, Master Liu's actions are not incomprehensible, but to our Fang family, it is It's kind of insulting."

"Is Lingtang gone?"

"Well, it's been many years since my father passed away. My father was demoted to Yuzhou because of some incidents in the early years. My mother passed away during that time. After my father came back, I felt sorry for my mother and never continued. The relationship between my sister and I The marriage has also been delayed a bit."

"Oh, sorry."

Fang Yikuan smiled, "It's okay, many years have passed."

"Mr. Fang, it is said that you met Liu Ying on the night of March [-]rd. Is there such a thing?"

Fang Yi's expression was a little unnatural, he hesitated for a moment before nodding, "Indeed, I have seen it. She sent a message to the second lady of the You family to ask me to meet at the Liujiao Pavilion at [-]:[-]pm, right after the vegetarian meal."

"did you go?"

"I didn't want to go at first. Although I don't hate the Liu family, I despise the Liu family's actions after all. But Ms. Liu herself is not wrong." Fang Yi paused, "Privately said, I also want to know what Miss Liu wants to say when she asks me out."

"Then what did she tell you?"

"She said..." Fang Yi frowned slightly, as if he was a little bored, "She said that the divorce was her parents' intention, and she also felt that her parents did something wrong, so she wanted to explain to me on their behalf. I'm sorry. She also said that she would go back and persuade her parents to see if they can change their minds. "

"So, Liu Ying herself is actually very willing to marry you?"

"Maybe. But even if she wants to, I don't agree with it. Although our Fang family is not a big family, we can't be teased like this."

"You said that?"

Fang Yi smiled, "Of course not, it's not easy to make a girl so embarrassing in person."

"How long have you chatted with Liu Ying? When did you break up?"

"It's very short. Basically, I just said those words and I left first. First, I have nothing to say, and second, I am afraid that others will catch me and gossip. It's time, when I went to find Mr. Zhong But in Youshi, this point must have been verified by the policeman Xu."

Xia Chu nodded, "I checked, but Mr. Zhong said that you chatted with him for an hour and then left, and you went back to your room after that?"

"Yes, back to the room." Fang Yi changed his sitting position and said with certainty.

"But we asked the person next door to you, and they said that the lights in your room had not been turned on on the night of March [-]rd." Xia Chu asked while staring at the change of expression on his face, trying to find some flaws.

"Oh, it hasn't been turned on." Fang Yi lowered his head and smiled, and replied naturally, "Because I meditate indoors."

"Meditate?"

"Yes, meditate. I believe in Buddhism, and I meditate every day. Not only was the lamp not lit that night, but it was also not lit last night."

Xia Chu looked at him, a little dazed.This statement made Xia Chu unable to judge whether it is true or false. If it is said to be meditating, it is normal that no one saw it and the lamp was not lit.

She glanced at the "Miaofa Lotus Sutra" subconsciously, "Mr. Fang, can you show me that scripture?"

"This?" Fang Yi picked it up and handed it to Xia Chu.

Xia Chu flipped through it in his hand, and asked casually, "Where did Mr. Fang read?"

"It wasn't long before I started reading. I just read No. 12, Devadatta. It is Manjusri who entered the Dragon Palace to teach the Lotus Sutra, and the dragon girl became a Buddha after hearing the scriptures." Fang Yi said: "This time I went to the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple. Thinking about seeing if there is a chance to meet Master Yunkong, and ask him for advice.

Xia Chu couldn't understand this, but when he turned to No.12, it was indeed the awkward name that Fang Yi said, so he put down the book in his hand, and asked unwillingly, "Did you go out again after meditating?"

"No, just go to sleep."

Chu Xia twitched the corners of his mouth, "Didn't wash up?"

Fang Yi was amused, "Of course the washing must be done before meditation, and incense was also burned."

Although there was no flaw in the rhetoric, but there was a motive and time for committing the crime, Xia Chuyi couldn't think of what to ask for a moment, but he still didn't want to give up.While thinking, while drinking tea to delay time, he heard the door of the room rang.

Xia Chu turned around and saw a young girl pushed the door in.

The girl is of medium stature, wearing a light grass-colored spring dress with fair skin, like a young tree unfurled in the morning, very fresh and pleasant.He is also handsome, and looks somewhat similar to Fang Yi.

Seeing Xia Chu and the others, the girl was startled at first, and then she looked a little displeased. She looked past Xia Chu and looked at Fang Yi, "Brother, why don't we go back to the city? It will be too late if we don't leave."

"There's still something to do, I'll be leaving in a while, you go and clean up first." Fang Yi smiled at her, with a hint of comfort in his smile, and said to Xia Chu: "This is sister She, Fang Ruolan."

Fang Ruolan walked up to Fang Yi's side, pursed her lips, looked sideways at Xia Chu and asked him, "Didn't you ask him this morning? Even I asked, so why ask?"

Xu Lu explained from the side: "Miss Fang, since Mr. Fang didn't have any witnesses who could prove his whereabouts on the night of the incident, so let's come over and find out more about it."

"He's in the room!" Fang Ruolan sat down next to Fang Yi, "How come no one can prove it? I can prove it."
