Chapter XVIII: Clearing Suspicion
"Qin'er, you go out first. Qin'er, who was opened, just saluted and retreated, she was keenly aware of the difference between Miss and Wu Yi, and secretly remembered it in her heart.
"Congratulations to the young lady for taking her father's throne. Wu Yi looked at Li Huanqiao with a smile.
Li Huanqiao only glanced at him lightly, "I'd rather not have this position, I just want my father to be well." "Sadness is still there, but people can't be immersed in sadness, there is still a long way to go.
Hearing this, Wu Yi was stupid, but fortunately, his current mentality can be stabilized, otherwise he would definitely lose his temper just now.
"Hasn't the thief been whipped by the housekeeper?" Wu Yi tested Li Huanqiao's attitude, but Li Huanqiao was not so easy to fool.
"You have directly fought with the thief, do you think it is Xiao Ren? Besides, when you stopped Li Da from judging himself, you said that there were many doubts. He didn't answer the rhetorical question, but Wu Yi understood what was revealed in his tone, and hurriedly replied, "I don't look like it." "After all, it was himself and Zhao Xingzhi who masturbated, no, it was Zhao Xingzhi who masturbated alone.
Li Huanqiao looked at Wu Yi fixedly, which made Wu Yi a little weak, but he didn't make a noise on the surface and asked with a little doubt, "Miss looks at Yi like this, could it be that there is something dirty on Yi's face?"
Li Huanqiao retracted his gaze and said calmly, "Speaking of which, thanks to you, I was not deceived by the real thief." ”
Wu Yi was a little stunned, and spared his head, "Miss, how can you say this." ”
Li Huanqiao glanced at Wu Yi vaguely, and said slowly, "That day, my father gave you to me, and I... I was curious about you as a person, so I inquired about what happened after you entered the mansion, and at that time I had an image of what Xiao Ren was, but he was a treacherous person who was greedy for life and afraid of death, and he couldn't be on the stage. ”
Wu Yi smiled evilly: "It turns out that Miss paid attention to Yi at that time." "I have to say that as for such a thing as duck legs, Xiao Ren, who was analyzed by Li Huanqiao, is still very good.
Li Huanqiao glanced at him, took a sip of water to moisten his throat, and continued, "So, not only is he not the thief, but he may even be pushed out as a scapegoat." ”
Wu Yi saw that Li Huanqiao seemed to have discovered something, and regardless of etiquette and humility, he moved a stool and sat opposite Li Huanqiao, and Li Da, who was secretly protecting, frowned when he saw this, and wanted to remind Wu Yi, but found that Li Huanqiao had no intention of blaming him, so he gave up.
Li Huanqiao glanced at Wu Yi, "The investigation in the house is very strict, and the birthday is also once a year, and there are no exceptions, so it is a thief." At this time, even Li Da listened to Li Huanqiao's analysis with bated breath.
Xiao Ren was whipped to the corpse, and the other wounds on his body could not be seen, but his face was purple, his mouth was slightly open, his eyes were red, and his fingers were slightly curved, but these signs could not be covered by the whip corpse, and he was clearly strangled to death by others, not suicide. ”
Wu Yi never thought that such a delicate eldest lady would observe so carefully, you must know that in the world before him, in Huaguo, how many people who like horror and supernatural will not collapse when they really see a corpse? At least he Wu Yi couldn't do it before.
It can be seen that Li Huanqiao's determination to dig three feet into the ground to find the truth is certainly not to help Xiao Ren clear his grievances, Xiao Ren is just a slave, and if he dies, he will die, and he is not worth a few dollars.
You can't blame Li Huanqiao for trampling on human life at will, this is just the law of survival in this world, slaves are like ants.
The eyebrows were slightly furrowed, and he remained silent, "Does Miss have any suspicions?"
Li Huanqiao didn't answer, just stood up and paced back and forth.
casually asked, "Which doctor is sitting today?" Wu Yi didn't pay attention, so naturally he didn't know.
"Zhao Qihuang. Li Da's voice sounded on the beams of the house.
Li Huanqiao continued: "Go and bring Zhao Xingzhi here." Li Da took the order and rushed away.
Wu Yi's first reaction when he heard Zhao Xingzhi was the temperature and softness of her face that did not match the temperament of the iceberg, and he was suddenly startled, "Miss, but you suspect that Zhao Xingzhi?"
Li Huanqiao nodded and explained, "I am suspicious, the biggest conflict with Xiao Ren is Zhao Xingzhi and you, but if you fight directly with the thief, your suspicion can be removed, if Zhao Xingzhi is a thief, then Zhao Qihuang is an accomplice." You'll listen later, don't make a sound. ”
Wu Yi's mind flashed Xiao 8's ridicule.
[Host, you are called smart but you are mistaken by smart. thought that he could pit Xiao Ren, but he almost exposed himself directly, if it wasn't for this extra move, Li Huanqiao was afraid that he would not be able to suspect Zhao Xingzhi, but he turned out to trap her.
After a while, Li Da led Zhao Xingzhi into the door, looking at Zhao Xingzhi, who was still dressed in men's clothes, Wu Yi was puzzled, and didn't understand why she didn't listen to her advice.
Zhao Xingzhi entered the door and saluted, and when he saw Wu Yi on the side, a trace of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes.
"When did you enter the mansion?" Li Huanqiao's question made Wu Yi feel inexplicable, but Zhao Xingzhi sounded the alarm bell in his heart, could it be that guy betrayed himself?
"The boy was sold at the slave market in the spring of the previous year to buy a gift back to the Li Mansion. Zhao Xingzhi replied respectfully, but he secretly sighed that his identity had been manipulated.
Li Huanqiao glanced at Zhao Xingzhi up and down, didn't find anything wrong, summoned Wu Yi, and whispered in his ear, "Go up and try to fight this person to see if it's him." ”
Wu Yi's ears are extremely sensitive, Li Huanqiao's move made Wu Yi feel anxious for a while, and he held back the other thoughts that came up in his heart, "I'm afraid that Li Da needs to go to the test, and Yi will observe more." "If you go up to test it, you will be exposed, at least Li Da can see how unbearable his martial arts skills are.
Li Huanqiao thought about it and nodded, and said to Li Da and Zhao Xingzhi, "I'm bored today, I want to watch a martial arts competition, and I ask the two of you to cooperate." ”
The reason is simple and crude, there are too many loopholes, Li Huanqiao doesn't care so much, anyway, it's right to ask Zhao Xingzhi to make a move.
"Yes, miss. Li Da took the order and walked towards Zhao Xingzhi.
Zhao Xingzhi frowned, and reluctantly said, "Miss Yaxing, Xingzhi didn't want to bother, but Xingzhi's family is poor and he hasn't learned martial arts, so I'm afraid it will make Miss laugh." ”
Li Huanqiao was a little impatient, but just urged, "Hurry up." ”
Li Da didn't wait for Zhao Xingzhi to agree, the knife slashed down violently, Zhao Xingzhi didn't have time to dodge, he was hit with all his strength, and suddenly took a few steps back, and blood overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
Seeing that Zhao Xingzhi was so unbearable, Li Huanqiao was extremely disappointed, nothing was right, it seemed that he was not sure that it was him, although the doubts in his heart were reduced, they were not completely eliminated.
"Go down and ask Qin'er to take you to collect the reward. "Call Qin'er, who is guarding the door, to take Zhao Xingzhi down.
Li Huanqiao tilted his head and asked, "Could he be pretending?"
Wu Yi pondered for a moment: "I'm afraid I want to ask Li Da." ”
Hearing that he was named, Li Da stepped forward and hugged his fists, "Miss Huiyu, it can't be pretended, the little one has felt his breath, it is disorderly, and it is impossible to disguise." The tone is unmistakable.
Wu Yi silently praised Li Da in his heart, and God assisted.
Li Huanqiao frowned, as if he didn't want to accept this fact. Wu Yi opened his mouth and asked, "Why does Miss suspect this Zhao Xingzhi, because she is at odds with Xiao Ren?"
Not only that, a year ago, the Zhao family in the east of the city was wiped out by his father, and only the only daughter who was studying abroad was left. This is a lot of information, but Wu Yi reacted instantly, Zhao Xingzhi's grievances with the Li Mansion, Miss This is a lot of work.
A cold sweat broke out in his heart, fortunately Zhao Xingzhi didn't listen to him, otherwise it would be really over now, the young lady was so transparent that she looked down on her.
"In this case, Zhao Xingzhi is a man, and he doesn't know martial arts, and the time is not right, it shouldn't be her. Wu Yi tried to help Zhao Xingzhi clear his suspicion, after all, he also cheated her.
Li Huanqiao noticed something, and after a good scrutiny, Wu Yi met her gaze hard, not avoiding it at all, showing that he had a clear conscience.
Li Huanqiao retracted his gaze and asked, "Why do I think you're excusing him?"
Wu Yi thought to himself: Yes, I am indeed excusing her. But he didn't dare to say anything, and hurriedly explained, "Yi's heart is towards Miss, how can he defend others." ”
said that he couldn't underestimate her, but he ran into the muzzle of the gun again.
Li Huanqiao no longer dwelled on this issue, but sat on the seat and pondered.
Wu Yi had an idea, "Miss, Yi thinks it may be like this." ”
Li Huanqiao, who was interrupted from his thoughts, glanced up at him and motioned for him to say.
"Yi thinks that Xiao Ren is a pawn of those old men, and it seems that he is the fault of the thieves, and it is very likely that he is trying to wash the public!" Wu Yi knew through Zhao Xingzhi's vest that there might be many spies of other masters in the Li Mansion, so this argument would work.
Sure enough, Li Huanqiao's eyebrows soothed, glanced at Wu Yi appreciatively, figured out the key, and prepared to let Li Da go down to investigate strictly, Wu Yi said unhurriedly, "Miss, Yi has a list in his hand, I hope Miss will see it." ”
Li Huanqiao glanced at the list of results, and was amazed in his heart, these are all those who forced him at the beginning, some of them are watching the fire from the other side, and some are adding fuel to the fire, and they have a number in their hearts, and their mood is much better.
"Hmph, you disciple has a heart. "Tsundere, as if the previously carefree eldest lady has returned.
Li Da looked sideways and felt that Wu Yi's little brother really had a set, not only was he strong in his ability and easy to use his mind, but he also coaxed people in one set.
Hearing the familiar name, Wu Yi knew that this level had passed, but at present, Zhao Xingzhi's suspicion was cleared.
"Don't worry, miss, I think it won't be long before the truth comes out. Wu Yi continued to be relieved.
Li Huanqiao got up, "Let's go, Wu Keqing will go with me." Wu Yi didn't know where Li Huanqiao was going to take him, but after working for so long, he was a little hungry.
"Miss hasn't tasted Yi's craftsmanship for many days, can you ask Miss to appreciate her face?"
"Yes. Li Huanqiao's expression drifted for a long time, it was really a good memory, he played with Wu Yi and Zhou Mingyuan every day, and there was a housekeeper to deal with all the big and small things in the family, and his father saw it.
Gone are the days like this, and I have to carry the beam, this time, it is the last indulgence for myself.
At this lunch, Wu Yi tried his best to smile for Bo Li Huanqiao, but fortunately, the results were still touching, and even Li Da, a person who does not have a heavy appetite, was full of praise.
After eating and drinking, Li Huanqiao took Wu Yi to the government affairs hall, intending to train Wu Yi to become his right-hand man.
And Zhou Mingyuan, who was waiting for Wu Yi to come back, was gnawing on dry rations with a bitter face.
"Why haven't you come back, brother, have I been forgotten..."
