After the system ran, I took off with my family

Chapter 314: Caught, Strange Reason

After waiting for a while and confirming that there was no movement inside, the man in black gently pushed open the window, climbed in, and landed quietly.

In the faint moonlight, he rubbed his hands and walked towards the bed step by step. He stood beside the bed, looking at the bulge in the quilt, and reached out his hand impatiently.

However, when he lifted the quilt, the smile on the man in black's face froze. He saw only a pillow under the quilt, and not the beauty he had expected.

not good!

Realizing that he had fallen into a trap, the man in black was about to turn around when the lights in the house suddenly came on and a strong wind blew from behind him.

Shocked, he quickly turned sideways to dodge, but the opponent's punch was too fast and his shoulder was hit hard.

"hiss…"

The man in black took a cold breath in pain, covered his shoulder and looked at the person who attacked him, his eyes full of murderous intent.

When he looked closely, it was the little beauty he had seen in the daytime. Beside the little beauty was a younger and pretty girl, who was grinning at him, her small white teeth particularly conspicuous under the light.

After being surprised, he became furious. He ignored the pain in his shoulder, pulled out the dagger from his waist and swung it through the wind, still swearing.

"You bitch, I didn't expect you to know kung fu. I advise you to surrender obediently. If I accidentally hurt your delicate face, I will be very distressed."

Qinghe ignored the thief's dirty words, just kept her face straight, turned her body to the side, and easily avoided the thief's oncoming knife.

Then, he quickly grabbed the thief's wrist with his right hand, gathered his strength and twisted it. With a "click", the thief let out a scream and the dagger in his hand fell to the ground.

Then, she took a deep breath and flew into the air, without giving the other party any chance to react, and kicked out, hitting the thief hard in the chest.

With a scream, the thief flew backwards, hit the wall heavily, and then fell to the ground.

"puff…"

The man in black spat out a mouthful of blood. The severe pain in his chest made his consciousness begin to blur. Before he completely lost consciousness, he only heard a crisp sound.

"Tsk, it's really weak!"

……

"Miss, Miss, we are back!"

Lin Shuyue had just sat down to have lunch when she heard Qingzhi's cheerful voice at the door.

After a while, Qingzhi and Qinghe came in carrying their small bags. Both of them had smiles on their faces, and it seemed that there was good news.

Lin Shuyue beckoned them to sit down, then curiously asked, "Has the person been caught?"

"Miss, we captured him last night and sent him to the yamen early this morning. We are waiting for the trial tomorrow."

Qinghe couldn't stop smiling. This was the first time the two of them had acted alone. Although it took a long time, the result was good.

Seeing that their young lady was curious, the two little girls told her the whole process of catching the murderer one after another.

Finally, Qingzhi pouted, "That guy is really weak. Sister Qinghe took care of him in just two moves. I didn't even have a chance to fight back."

"You little girl, you're so ungrateful after getting the advantage."

Lin Shuyue shook her head in amusement and added, "It's good that they've caught him. I've also made inquiries these past few days. Lord Liang, the magistrate of Luochuan County, acts justly and impartially. The murderer will receive the punishment he deserves."

After she finished speaking, she looked at the two people who were in high spirits, and praised them with a smile: "My Qinghe and Qingzhi are really amazing."

When Qinghe and Qingzhi heard the young lady's straightforward praise, their faces turned red with embarrassment and they stammered, not knowing what to say, but their hearts felt as sweet as if they had drunk honey.

A county town is only this big, but within just one lunch time, the news that the murderer had been caught spread quickly.

Therefore, when the court opened the next day, the lobby of the county government office was already crowded with people watching the fun.

Qingzhi also went to join in the fun and didn't come back until almost noon.

As soon as I walked in, I heard her angrily say, "This guy is so evil! Why is he taking revenge on other innocent people for the sins committed by his parents? He deserves to be cut into pieces!"

"What's going on? Tell me about it."

Lin Shuyue became curious, and Qinghe, who was packing her luggage, put down her things and came over to listen.

Qingzhi took a deep breath and suppressed her anger, "Miss, Sister Qinghe, do you know who the evil thief is?"

Lin Shuyue and Qinghe both shook their heads.

Qingzhi slammed the table in anger, "This heartless murderer is the owner of Shunyi Teahouse - Zhou Maowen."

"What? Shunyi Teahouse? Isn't that the teahouse across from the embroidery workshop?"

Qinghe widened her eyes in surprise.

Qingzhi nodded, anger in her eyes.

"Yes, it's the teahouse opposite the embroidery workshop. The figure you saw that day was him."

"I heard from an old man watching the excitement outside the court that Zhou Maowen usually looks very polite and never argues with anyone. Sometimes he even gives food to beggars in the dilapidated temple.

It's ridiculous, this man who is often called a good man, has eight lives on his hands."

Lin Shuyue and Qinghe couldn't help but take a deep breath and looked at each other. This murderer was so evil.

Qinghe was even more grateful that she and Qingzhi had caught the evil thief, otherwise more innocent people would have died.

Qingzhi continued, "In court today, Zhou Maowen initially refused to admit that he was the murderer of the young lady from the Zhao family.

Fortunately, after Lord Liang detained Zhou Maowen yesterday, he immediately ordered a search of the Zhou family and put all the servants of the Zhou family into jail.

Those servants had never seen such a scene before. Once the officers threatened them, they told them everything they knew like pouring beans.

Zhou Maowen's personal servant revealed the most information and even led the officers to find Zhou Maowen's secret room in his study.

I heard that the officer vomited as soon as he entered the secret room because of the smell of blood. There were dried bloodstains everywhere on the walls and the floor of the secret room, as well as many women's clothes and embroidered handkerchiefs, one of which was Miss Zhao's personal handkerchief.

In addition, a maid who swept the yard also provided clues.

It is said that on the night when the young lady of the Zhao family was murdered, she got up in the middle of the night and happened to run into her master who came back hurriedly from outside with an obvious scratch on his neck.

Coincidentally, when the coroner was performing an autopsy on the young lady of the Zhao family, he found unknown dandruff between her fingernails.

With so much evidence, Zhou Maowen had no choice but to plead guilty.

Lin Shuyue frowned and asked again, "Then why did he kill the young lady from the Zhao family? And what about the other lives?"

Qingzhi responded to this question with a complicated tone, "I'm telling you all I won't believe, but the reason this villain targeted Miss Zhao was simply because he happened to pick up her embroidered handkerchief and discovered her exceptional embroidery skills. He hates beautiful women with excellent embroidery skills the most."

Lin Shuyue was stunned after hearing this. What kind of weird reason is this?

Qingzhi had expected her young lady's stunned expression. That morning, everyone present thought they had misheard when they heard the reason.

How could someone be so cruel just because someone else is good at embroidery...
