According to Russell's experience of watching more than a thousand episodes of Conan, once the murder weapon is found and after careful reasoning and the most fatal evidence is found, the murderer can be made to confess voluntarily.
Russell looked at the flying centipede on the ground and felt eager to do something.
He now knows 800 methods of murder and more than a thousand alibis. It should be easy for him to solve a murder case.
Especially since he used cheats, there was a 99% chance that Li Chengqi, who was limp on the ground, was the murderer.
no
He, Russell, washes his hair while standing upside down!
Just as Russell was about to start his Conan time, Li Chengqi walked over and knelt down in front of the old man.
"I was the one who killed him!"
The corners of Russell's mouth twitched. This was too fast. He hadn't even started to reason yet, so how come the murderer confessed
I always feel that Uncle Jiu is the director, and Li Chengqi is the actor, and the one who has four or five chicken legs.
"You, you!"
The old man was shaking a little. Let's forget about eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Their Li family is big and powerful, and they can afford to support a prodigal son.
Why kill people
He really felt a little disappointed with his friend!
Li Chengqi smiled bitterly, "Chengqi is guilty. I lived in a muddle for 30 years. It was only after my father passed away that I finally woke up, but it was too late."
The old man had a blank expression on his face and said in a cold voice, "Since you have come to your senses, why did you kill someone and put him in your father's coffin!"
When talking about this matter, the old man became angrier and angrier. He hit Li Chengqi hard with his walking stick several times, "He is your father, you are worse than a pig or a dog!"
The heavy cane smashed down. Although the old man was old, he was furious and the strength in his hands should not be underestimated.
Li Chengqi didn't dodge or evade, but took it head on.
The old man was a little tired from fighting. He took a few deep breaths and saw Li Chengqi without saying a word, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.
“Boom boom boom!”
Li Chengqi kowtowed three times to the old man respectfully, "Uncle, I can't turn back anymore. I'm afraid I won't be able to show my filial piety to you anymore!"
The old man looked at the blood on his forehead, feeling a little reluctant. He sighed, "Who is this person? What hatred do you have against him? Why did he do such a cruel thing?"
He watched Li Chengqi grow up. Although he was a bit useless, he was not a bad person at heart. Why would he kill people
Li Chengqi slowly closed his eyes, "This guy is from the opium den!"
"A smoking den?"
The old man couldn't help but tremble with the cane in his hand, his face full of disbelief.
A smoking den is naturally a place for smoking.
What they smoked were not ordinary cigarettes, but marijuana, also known as opium!
The old man had never come into contact with these things, but he had heard of how powerful he was. His Li family also had businesses in the provincial capital.
I go to the provincial capital often and see more things.
One or two out of ten people there were opium addicts, with sallow complexions and skinny skeletons.
If that day, you see a person staggering out of an alley and walking towards you with unsteady steps.
With a snap!
He fell before you, dead!
Please rest assured, this guy didn't come here to commit fraud, but died from smoking marijuana.
The old man took a deep breath. There were too many useless descendants in the provincial capital who smoked opium, which caused their families to be broken up, their wives and children to be separated, and even their lives to be lost!
The Li family was very wary of this and had very strict family education, forbidding anyone to touch opium.
But what no one expected was that someone still fell into the trap.
The old man closed his eyes in pain and said, "If you can quit, just quit!"
Can I quit this thing
The old man had only heard of people smoking more and more heavily, until they became crazy, but he had never heard of anyone quitting.
If you want to quit this, you will never be able to do so without a firm will.
If you have a strong will, how can you get addicted
Li Chengqi smiled miserably, "Chengqi is addicted to opium, and deserves death. As soon as the man in the opium den heard that my father had passed away, he brought the centipede to find me."
The old man widened his eyes and thought of a possibility.
"He told me to use the centipede to harm my eldest brother so that I could inherit the Li family's wealth and smoke more opium!"
"What a courage!"
The old man was so angry that his body was shaking. The people in the opium den were so bold that they let Chengqi kill his elder brother while they themselves were addicted to opium. If they succeeded, the consequences would be disastrous.
Once his eldest brother died, Chengqi became addicted to opium. How could he have a good ending
In all likelihood, the huge Li Mansion will quickly fall, with wives and children separated and families destroyed. One misstep and even the Li Mansion might be wiped out!
"How vicious!"
The old man suddenly felt a little dizzy. If the Li Mansion was gone, and he died in the future, how would he have the face to look at his brother in the underworld
"Although Chengqi is a bit of a jerk, he still knows right from wrong. How could he lay hands on his own brother? I hate myself for getting addicted to opium, and I hate the people in the opium den even more. I will just use that centipede to kill him."
Li Chengqi burst into tears, "Chengqi is sorry to my father and uncle. I hope that uncle will take care of Ayun and Futian after I die, as uncle and nephew. If Ayun wants to remarry, please don't stop her. Futian is still young, I hope uncle will take good care of him!"
The old man had a bad premonition. Before he could say anything, Li Chengqi in front of him banged his head several times, spit out blood, and fell to the ground.
"Why has it come to this? Why has it come to this!" The old man had tears in his eyes. His Li family was wealthy and powerful, and even if he killed someone, he would not be punished with death. What's more, the person was a villain, and everyone would applaud if he died.
Why take poison!
Li Chengqi gave a miserable smile, stared straight at his father's big red coffin, and slowly closed his eyes.
Father, it is a pity that I could not fulfill my filial piety to you when you were alive. But it is not too late now. Your child is here to accompany you.
The old man was in tears and couldn't speak for a long time while holding Li Chengqi.
Uncle Jiu and Simu were silent for a long time. Li Chengqi had lived a dissolute life in the first half of his life, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. He was a complete loser and a prodigal. It was only after his father died that he grew up overnight and became a man.
Unfortunately, it’s a little late for me to become sensible.
However, he is still a man with a conscience.
The old man wiped his tears with his sleeve and called out, and immediately a servant came out from the next room, holding a plate piled with silver dollars.
"Today, I have troubled the two Taoist priests to help the Li family get rid of the evil spirit. It is all my fault. If I had asked the Taoist priests for help earlier, my poor nephew would not have been killed by the evil spirit."
The old man slowly raised his head, his eyes full of pleading.
Uncle Jiu sighed and nodded. Li Chengqi committed suicide by taking poison, which was a somewhat ignominious death. If the news got out, his remaining son, Xiao Futian, would probably be affected as well.
He waved his hand, "No need for money, I didn't contribute anything either, I, Lin Jiu, will keep my mouth shut about what happened today!"
The old man remained unmoved.
Uncle Jiu pondered for a moment, took a handful of silver dollars from the tray in the servant's hand, and the old man nodded with satisfaction.
"Uncle Nine is so righteous!"
Uncle Jiu sighed, then left the Li Mansion and returned to the charity cemetery with Russell and Simu.
afternoon.
Qiu Sheng rushed in, "Junior brother, something big happened outside!"
Russell blinked.
"Not long ago, the opium den in the south of town caught fire. There were seven or eight opium smokers and more than twenty helpers in the den. Somehow, they didn't escape and were all burned to death!"
"Junior brother, you don't know how many people are clapping and cheering!"
Russell shook his head and sighed, "What a big fire!"
