Fu Sheng quickly invited the stall owner who sold jade, and asked in detail about the appearance of the woman who came to buy jade at that time. There was an artist present at the time, so the artist recorded the appearance of the woman with a brush.

Qiao Songyu had just taken a nap when he got the portrait. At that time, Pei Rongbai was sitting beside his bed telling him ghost stories to amuse him. His second brother, Qiao Zeyu, knocked on the door outside, saying that the portrait of the murderer had been drawn, and Qiao Songyu didn't care about ghost stories.I immediately ran out of bed to open the door for Qiao Zeyu:

"Let me see, let me see, what does it look like?!"

Pei Rongbai at the back couldn't laugh or cry.

"Here, it looks like this." Qiao Zeyu handed him the portrait, glanced at it and said, "But the stall owner said it took too long, so there may be deviations."

Qiao Songyu took it, put it in front of her eyes, and frowned her pretty eyebrows: "Well, at first glance, she looks pretty pretty!"

Pei Rongbai raised his eyes: "Huh?"

Qiao Songyu hurriedly retorted: "I'm just commenting! Look, the oval face, a pair of almond eyes, a pair of willow eyebrows, and a beautiful face, don't look like a man at all!"

Qiao Zeyu also agreed, and nodded: "Well, if she disguised herself as a man, she might be easily exposed."

"No, I think this person's features are somewhat familiar." Pei Rongbai mused.

"Like who?" Qiao Songyu immediately asked, her beautiful eyes looked at Pei Rongbai expectantly.

"Even if it's him, he can't be sure that the murderer is him just based on this portrait..." Pei Rongbai muttered to himself.

Qiao Zeyu seemed to have read something from his face and words, and said, "Rongbai, I just went to ask the old man in charge of the Yangcheng City government warehouse alone."

"Huh?" Pei Rongbai slightly restrained himself, "What did you ask?"

"I asked him, who else has the key to this warehouse besides him." Qiao Zeyu looked at the void not far away, and said slowly, "He said: 'Master Fu and the arresting officer Chen Fang have both.'"

"It's normal!" Qiao Songyu asked with a puzzled face."This is Yangcheng City in the first place. They are the governor and the head of the police. Isn't it normal to have a key?"

Pei Rongbai curled the corners of his lips silently: "But do you still remember, when you asked the old man if he saw anything suspicious, how did he answer?"

"He said no!" Qiao Songyu said, suddenly seemed to think of something, his expression was a moment of astonishment, but he said quickly, "But the lock has traces of tampering, maybe the murderer broke the lock and got in?"

"Of course it's also possible..." Qiao Zeyu echoed.

"So, what we are looking for is the key evidence." Pei Rongbai lowered his head and said thoughtfully, "Also, what I have never figured out is that the other people are all because they were implicated in the Wenfu case thirty years ago.He was killed, but what happened to that Sun Teng? Why was he killed?"

"I asked a friend of Sun Teng's before." Qiao Zeyu said quickly, "Ask him what he said before he died, or did he have any weird behaviors.It was still there the evening before."

"So, we should go to the gambling house." Pei Rongbai and Qiao Zeyu looked at each other, they both understood.

In the evening, Qiao Zeyu took the guards to the casino. Originally, Pei Rongbai and Qiao Songyu wanted to go together, but just as they were about to go out, Pei Rongxuan came back with a very ugly face. Earlier, Pei Rongxuan saw his dead lover in the small hall.Qiao Songyu told Pei Rongbai about it, so when they saw his look so bad, they both knew that it must be because of it.Pei Rongbai was afraid that something would happen to him, so he stayed with Qiao Songyu, and asked Qiao Zeyu to go alone with the guards.

The couple chased Pei Rongxuan into his room and asked him what happened. Pei Rongxuan refused to speak at first, but then Pei Rongbai couldn't stand it anymore and reprimanded him:

"When Qiu Xinnian was dying, you looked like you were going to die. Your family pitied you and let you go. Now you are like this again. You are a man. If you really want to die, die quickly. Anyway, your family alsoThere's no shortage of libertines like you."

These words seemed to have touched Pei Rongxuan's sore spot, he suddenly raised his head, with a calm and terrifying expression, and said, "Qiu Xinnian's death is fake!"

Qiao Songyu opened her eyes wide in surprise, and looked at Pei Rongbai, only to see that his face was also full of surprise.

Regardless of the astonishment of the two, Pei Rongxuan continued to look at Pei Rongbai and said: "Brother, someone bribed him to act in this play!"

"Someone bribed him to fake his death?" Qiao Songyu asked suspiciously.

"No, it should be more than letting him die..." Pei Rongbai looked at his younger brother with coldness in his eyes, "Including Qiu Xinnian meeting you and falling in love with you, all these are fake?"

"Yes, it's all fake, it's all fake..." When Pei Rongxuan said this, a crack appeared on his extremely calm face, he laughed at himself very loudly, "Hahaha... it's all fake, it’s all fake, all of this, it’s all fake!”

Qiao Songyu was startled and asked Pei Rongbai, "But...why would someone do this?"

"Whoever has vested interests is behind the scenes." Pei Rongbai said succinctly, and fearing that Qiao Songyu might not understand, he looked at him and explained in detail, "Since Qiu Xinnian died, Rongxuan has been depressed and idle.Therefore, the affairs of the family are all handled by his concubine younger brother, and my uncle also puts emphasis on nurturing him, you think, if Rongxuan has no depression, and he is the eldest son of the concubine, will it be someone else's turn to take care of the family affairs?"

Qiao Songyu shuddered when he heard it—the struggle in this house was so terrible, in order to gain power, he did not hesitate to come up with such a murderous strategy...

"Now Pei Rongyan has completely controlled the family affairs, and even started to domineering..." Pei Rongxuan sneered, his eyes were full of hatred and murderous intent, "If I come to Yang City, maybe I will be kept in the dark for the rest of my life.I've spent my whole life in such a muddle..."

Qiao Songyu and Pei Rongbai looked at each other without speaking.

Fortunately, it is not too late to find out now, and it is still too late to cheer up now.

When the two returned to the room, Qiao Songyu was still very emotional, sitting on the edge of the bed, holding her chin and saying:

"I think Rongxuan is really pitiful. The death of his sweetheart was already a blow to him. Now that he has suffered such a blow, he finds out that everything is a scam. He has been manipulated from beginning to end. IfI, I, I..."

"How are you?" Pei Rongbai raised his eyebrows.

"I'll kill you!" Qiao Songyu said with a flushed face.

Pei Rongbai laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I won't give you this chance."
