Chapter 427: Step by step

If he were Xu Jing, he would definitely not be indifferent to the current situation of the Helian people, and if he made a move, he would inevitably alarm this person.

If Helan Zhen is Xu Jing, then how can he not show his flaws?

If Xu Jing hadn't died, how could she not recognize her as Zhang Ying?

Qi Jiu looked at her for a long time, cleared his throat and said, "If Helan Zhen is really Xu Jing, what are you going to do?" ”

Shen Xi's body paused slightly, and after a while, she turned around, and her bright gaze became gloomy: "If Helan Zhen is Xu Jing, I think he must be unwilling to embarrass me if he doesn't recognize me."

"I also know that exposing him may not be good for everyone, but I can't see him hiding behind the name Helan Zhen with peace of mind, being a soul who can't see the light.

"And more importantly, I think he should have found out something about my death back then, otherwise he wouldn't have told me that if he could get rid of the Han family, he would have killed it.

And the reason why he was targeted must be because something triggered the suspicion of the other party. They might continue to spy on him, and then he would be dangerous.

"If I let it go any further, what will I become?

"If you were me, would you bear to do this?

"You know he's still paying for you, but you're still pretending to be confused, and then enjoying it all with peace of mind?"

Qi Jiu stared with bated breath, and finally shook his head: "I really won't." ”

Shen Xi grinned: "That's it." ”

After all, they can't be the most wicked people, so in terms of harmful means, she will indeed never be able to compare to Wen Chan.

"And what do you want to do?" Qi Jiu pondered for a moment along with her words, and finally said.

"Xu Jing is not in a hurry to do this, you and I can count it. First of all, we have to determine who the gang at the docks is targeting. ”

Shen Xi instantly turned pale: "If I can confirm that they are indeed coming for Helan, then my guess is basically reliable." ”

Qi Jiu nodded: "Then how can we be sure?" ”

"You go find Huo Zhen first."

Shen Xi walked back to the desk as he spoke, picked up one of the pieces of paper and said, "I remember that Huo Yan once said that the killers at the dock should have started to target him months ago.

"And the night when Wen Chan and I clashed in the Xu family cemetery was also a few months ago, and even Wen Chan died a few months ago.

"If the time of their deployment was after the incident in the Xu family's cemetery, then I have reason to suspect that they were suspected of Helan Zhen because of this incident."

Qi Jiu thought for a while and said, "Then I'll ask, when did he first go to the dock to meet the shipowner and Gehime?" ”

"That's right, go and come back!"

Shen Xi was not verbose.

Here in Lanyue Tower, Xiao Huai and they have already drunk two rounds.

Before Qi Jiu could open his mouth after arriving, Xiao Huai first asked, "What's wrong with the girl?" ”

She had to prevaricate here again, and then asked Huo Zhen about Shen Xi's confession.

Huo Yan was not ambiguous, and gave her the words carefully, Xiao Huai asked someone to let her hold the packaged snacks, and then she turned around again.

Turning around, because of Shen Xi's previous words, he also turned his head to look at Helan Chen, and the other party's eyebrows did not move, just sat quietly and lowered his eyes to sip wine.

It's calm, huh......

Helan Zhen seemed to feel her gaze and looked up at her.

Originally, it was time for a lunch break, but Shen Xi was still distracted in front of the window.

His mind was chaotic, and the question Qi Jiu asked was still lingering in his mind.

For Helan Chen, in fact, she may have already had an answer in her heart, but for various reasons, his avoidance and denial, and her uncertainty about Xiao Huai, she failed to go deeper.

But it was useless to escape, things were happening one by one, and she needed to uncover all the mysteries and make the distant or ongoing conspiracy visible.

There must be a reason behind the Great Zhou court's fierce pursuit and killing of the Helian people......

However, there are a lot of clues at the moment, but there is always a line that connects them.

Perhaps she should have thought that her death fifty-one years ago was not an accident, but an inevitability, when she suspected that the reason for the fall of Great Qin was related to the case of Prince Cheng's Mansion.

At that time, although the Zhang and Xu families were world friends, they had never been engaged, and they would not have such a big sense of crisis.

It's not the same when you are engaged.

Today, because of the fall of Great Qin, there are only three people who have benefited the most......

"Second sister, why didn't you go out to eat?"

Shen Yan suddenly walked in.

She hurriedly put away all the books and papers on the table, and said with her forehead in her hands: "I'm not feeling well." And he said, "Why are you here?" ”

"It's boring in the house, so come and sit down." Shen Yan sat down.

But her eyes were sharp, and when Shen Xi collected things, she still noticed that she had something to hide from her.

Looking at her expression again, it was really not as good as usual, so she said, "Are you okay with my brother-in-law?" ”

She didn't go to eat again, and her expression was in a trance, she could only think so.

"What nonsense?" Shen Xi smiled, but he couldn't keep the spirit to continue.

Things are chaotic, and I really have no intention of laughing.

"Girl!"

Just as he was here, Qi Jiu suddenly hurried back, "The prince asked me to bring you a snack!" ”

Shen Xi raised her eyes, and sure enough, she saw that she was carrying several small food boxes.

"What about things? How's it going? She took the snack and said.

Qi Jiu glanced at Shen Yan and said, "Huo Jiu said that the first time I met the owner of the ship at the dock was in the winter of last year.

"As for the singer, it must have been the second time he went, when there were four of them, and when they saw her coming out of the boat next door, they called her in to help the fun.

"He said everything seemed normal, so he didn't expect her to be a hidden killer."

Because of her look, Shen Yan thought of Shen Xi's previous unruly appearance, and guessed that they had something important, so she took this opportunity to retire.

Shen Xi didn't stop either.

Wen Chan died in October, and the night she and He Lanzhen were in the Xu family cemetery was also in early October, and the time when Huo Yan met them at the dock was exactly after these two events.

It's not certain that it's related, but at least it's within the range of suspicion.

At least even Shen Ruopu could see that they were coming for Helan, and this matter was already worth investigating.

While she was thinking deeply about the flower garden, Qi Jiu had already stood beside her. "Can you think of anything? Fang Cai Shizi also asked if something had happened, and asked me to go back to him. ”

She opened her mouth, but shook her head again.

At present, I can't tell Xiao Huai about this.

This has nothing to do with the affairs of the court, it is her private matter, and it is also related to Helan Chen's true identity, she can't be sure how Xiao Huai will react if he knows that Helan Zhen is likely to be Xu Jing?

At present, she has not yet skimmed the eight characters, and she can't rashly mess things up first.
