Chapter 8: The Yellow Sparrow (Part II)

Since all the people in the West Courtyard gathered in the lobby of the restaurant and had nothing to do all night, Zhang Yi led the guards to transport the bodies of Ruoxi, Jia Dart and Ding Fu to the Juncheng Mansion at dawn. As the sky was already bright, the haze in everyone's hearts temporarily dissipated, and the tense emotions gradually relaxed, so they all returned to their respective rooms to make up for sleep. In addition, Liufeng Building has not been opened for several days, and the people in the east courtyard have the intention to avoid suspicion, even if they have nothing to do, they rarely enter the west courtyard, and the huge courtyard is unusual, very calm.

Around midnight, in this quiet situation, Chan'er was sleeping soundly in the room, when a man in black rolled into the room through the south window, tiptoed closer to the bed, and held a sharp dagger (separator) head, aimed at Chan'er's neck and was about to stab it. At this moment, two figures jumped off the beam of the room unexpectedly, one of the cyan figures kicked the dagger (separator) in the hand of the man in black into the air, and the other white figure attacked the man in black. The man in black didn't expect someone to hide in the room, and in the face of the fierce attack of the white figure, he only had the power to parry for a while.

"Are you alright?" asked the cyan figure who bent over to help Chan'er up.

"It's okay, I know you're here, I'm relieved. Chan'er smiled at the cyan figure, and then looked at the two in the fight.

Needless to say, the cyan figure and the white figure are Qu Hanyan and Xin Pupu.

"Sure enough, some people are worried that you will remember the secret words that Ding Fu said, so that the secret of their side will be revealed, and they are eager to kill you, but they don't know that this is not only a trap set by me and you, but Xin Pupu also spontaneously came to protect you. Qu Hanyan said this, and glanced at Chan'er, "Xin Pupu's concern for you is beyond words." ”

"Xin Gongzi just wants to find out the murderer who killed a few people. Chan'er only smiled lightly at Qu Hanyan's gaze, then turned her gaze back to Xin Pupu and the man in black, and stopped talking.

Not long after, Nanying, Singer, Hua Siniang, and Wei Guangqian, who heard the movement, came almost at the same time, and Chu Jing, who lived in the first courtyard, asked Ji Dart Master to guard the dart box, and also walked quickly with Chu Xue, and the identity of the man in black was about to come out.

Xin Pupu's sword moves are virtual and real, the speed does not seem to be below the fast sword Anliu, and the space in the room is limited, and the moves of the man in black are many of them, and within a stick of incense, he was restrained by Xin Pupu's actions.

"Boss Qi, let's not make senseless resistance, let's talk about why I want to assassinate the Moon Girl. Xin Pupu looked at the man in black and said with a smile.

When the man in black heard Xin Pupu's words, he did not deny it, but raised his right hand and pulled down the black veil covering his face. I saw that the man in black had picturesque eyebrows and graceful demeanor, and it was indeed Qi Ying.

"Miss. Seeing this scene, Chu Xue couldn't help but let out a low breath, even she didn't know about it.

"If I'm not mistaken, Boss Qi is the person Ding Fu has been looking for to convey the code word. Zhang Er's voice came from the courtyard, and the people had already walked behind Nanying, Hua Siniang and the others.

"How could Mr. Zhang be here?" the singer turned around and saw Zhang Er, and couldn't help but be surprised.

"If I stay here, Boss Qi should be worried. Zhang Yi said as he moved his gaze to Qi Ying, "It's just that I didn't expect that Zhang Mou would leave for less than an hour, and Boss Qi couldn't help but make a move on Miss Yue." ”

"You guys are in collusion. Qi Ying's gaze swept over Zhang Er, Xin Pupu and Qu Hanyan one by one, and said in a deep voice.

"If you have been poisoned, I will not let the same scene play out in front of my eyes again. Qu Hanyan looked at Qi Ying coldly and said.

"I admit that there is a trading relationship between me and Ding Fu, but Ruoyi has been with me since she was twelve or thirteen years old, and I have always regarded her as my own sister for so many years, how could I hurt her. ”

"Maybe you didn't kill Miss Ruoyi, but Ding Fu has an ulterior stake in you, and it's not impossible for you to attack him. He also died under such a dagger (separator) head, have you forgotten?"

"This dagger (separator) has already been inspected, and it does not match the shape of Ding Fu's wound. Besides, not to mention that we are people in the same boat, even if we are not, but I haven't made a deal with him yet, how can I kill him at this time. ”

"I wonder what kind of deal you have with him?"

“…… To tell you the truth, in addition to being a restaurant on the surface, this Liufeng Building is also in the business of eliminating disasters for people in private, and Ding Fu was introduced by one of our old customers. However, I haven't had time to talk about this deal with Master Ding, I only know that someone is going to kill him, and he came to Liufenglou this time to pay us to save his life. ”

"With all due respect, Boss Qi's kung fu doesn't seem to be as good as Ding Fu. Nanying spoke.

"Or maybe the boss didn't go all out. Xin Pupu also said.

"I've said everything I can say, believe it or not. Qi Ying chuckled, and the style revealed in her gestures made people no longer want to doubt it.

"If it's just for this reason, why do you need to do anything to Yue'er?" Qu Han calmed down and asked.

"If she had spoken the code earlier, I might have had time to save Master Ding's life, and I wouldn't have lost a lot of money. But I'm just annoyed for a while, I can still tell which is more important than human life and money, even if the second game master of Xin doesn't stop it, I won't really do anything to the moon girl. ”

"What did Boss Qi say about the killing of Jia Dartshi?" asked Zhang Er.

"I don't know. Qi Ying's eyes were innocent, stunned for a moment, as if she had thought of something, and said, "By the way, I once saw Mr. Wei offering incense to the deceased Jia Dart Master, but I don't know why?"

"So far, it's inconvenient for me to hide it, but in fact, the robbery letter in the dart box was put in by me. Wei Guangqian admitted frankly.

"Mr. Wei is interested in the dowry of Master Xiao's daughter?" Xin Pupu's eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.

"That's all I want. Wei Guangqian said as he took out a crystal bracelet from his arms.

"This is ......," Chu Jingxin looked a little excited.

"Yes, this is one of the objects in the dowry. Ding Fu's eyes are indeed vicious, every item in the dart box is an imitation, although this crystal bracelet is really made of crystal, it is also a defective product, and it is not worth much money like the rest of the objects. ”

"Could this be the lost thing that Mr. Wei mentioned earlier?" Zhang Er asked.

"This was originally a love affair between me and my wife, and I didn't want to be stolen by a child many years ago, and then it changed hands and fell into the hands of Master Xiao several times. I overheard that this was an ornament for Miss Xiao's marriage, so I followed the trail, hoping to find an opportunity to take back the crystal bracelet. ”

"Do you not hesitate to hurt people's lives for the sake of this crystal bracelet?" Chu Jing's tone was slightly unkind.

"So, it was Mr. Wei who stole the dowry the night before. Xin Pupu's expression was much calmer than Chu Jingxin's, and he faintly felt that Wei Guangqian was acting with something else, so he motioned for him to continue.

"When I arrived at the room of Master Jia and Master Ji, Master Jia was dozing off, and I didn't want to alarm anyone, so I used my internal force to point on Master Ji's acupoint, took away the crystal bracelet, and put in a peony made of gold to replace it, and Master Jia did not wake up in the process. However, what I didn't expect was that there was a second group of robbers on the same night, and not only was the golden peony stolen along with the contents of the dart box, but also took the life of Jia Dartmaster. Yesterday, Boss Qi saw me offering incense to Master Jia, because I deeply felt that the world is impermanent, and the development trend of many things will be different if one thought is different. If I hadn't been confident that I wouldn't have alarmed Master Jia and even lit his acupoint together, maybe he wouldn't have suffered this catastrophe. Wei Guang felt guilty, and his voice gradually weakened.

"Did Sir help guard the dart box last night out of self-reproach?"

As soon as Xin Pupu said this, everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Wei Guangqian.

"How does the second bureau master of Xin know that it's me?" Wei Guangqian asked rhetorically, without comment.

"Just now, the sound of me fighting with Boss Qi attracted everyone, the room of the singer girl is the closest, Mrs. Siniang and Yuan Gongzi are second, Mr. Wei's room is the farthest from here, but he appeared outside the door with the three of them, I know that Mr. is extremely light and light, and nine times out of ten he is the masked man of last night. ”

"Childe is right. Wei Guangqian finally nodded.

"I believe in what Mr. is a person, and I also believe what Mr. said, as for the robber of the dart......" Xin Pupu remembered the black-clothed masked woman who had fought with him - it wouldn't be Chan'er, and it wouldn't be Qi Ying from the perspective of martial arts, so it could only be ......

Thinking of this, Xin Pupu was caught off guard and attacked Hua Siniang, and Hua Siniang was shocked to deal with it, inevitably exposing the fact that she knew martial arts and her identity as the black-clothed masked man that night. Seeing that he had achieved his goal, Xin Pupu quickly stopped, stared at Hua Siniang quietly and said:

"Madame, can you give me a reasonable explanation in the next one?"

"Xin Gongzi is indeed smart. But I didn't steal the darts, and I didn't kill the people. It is useless to say more. Hua Siniang also retreated to the same place, quietly staring at Xin Pupu.

Because among the few people present, only Xin Pupu and Qi Ying, who rescued Ding Fu from her, were the only ones who had seen Hua Siniang's skills that night, and Qi Ying instantly recognized Hua Siniang as the one who attacked Ding Fu, while the rest of the people were still unknown.

"Is the second bureau master suspicious of Mrs. Siniang?" Zhang Er looked at Xin Pupu and asked.

"If it weren't for my sudden temptation today, no one would have known that Madame knew martial arts, and Madame deliberately concealed it, so I had to make Xin suspicious. ”

"I also think that Madame is not as indifferent as she seems on the surface. Chu Jingxin suddenly interjected.

"Jingxin, what did you find?" Xin Pupu heard the words and looked at Chu Jingxin.

"In the afternoon of the day before yesterday, in the lobby of the restaurant, Mrs. took the opportunity to pick up silk handkerchiefs and Wang Gongzi...... Secretly flirting. Chu Jingxin frowned before he said slowly.

"Brother Chu is dazzled? It's okay to say that it's okay to secretly flirt with someone, but it's not good to slander Mrs.'s reputation. Qu Hanyan smiled calmly, as if this had never happened, and said.

"But......" Chu Jingxin recalled the scene he saw, and it seemed that he really didn't see it really enough, and he couldn't help but be a little uncertain.

"Is this how Xin Gongzi taught his subordinates?Have you ever thought about how much slander of a woman's innocence will affect her?" Seeing this, Hua Siniang lost no time in tears in her eyes.

"I offended Mrs. with respectful words just now, and Xin apologized to Mrs. on his behalf. Xin Pupu said, bowed to Hua Siniang to apologize, and then said, "It's just that Madame seems to owe the next explanation." ”

"Explain, yes? Okay, I'll give it to you. As Hua Siniang spoke, her eyes suddenly became cold, "Ding Fu is my husband-killing enemy, this revenge is not shared, and there is no reason not to repay it." Because of this, I followed Ding Fu all the way to Liufeng Tower, wanting to kill this enemy who killed him in my husband's hometown, and take him to the grave to worship when I buried my husband's ashes. I didn't want to fail on the first night, and on the second night, Mr. Zhang was arrested by the side and couldn't do it, so Ding Fu was killed by others. ”

"So when I met my wife that night, did my wife fight with Ding Fu?"

"The praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch is behind. Ding Fu only said that he was going to assassinate Yuan Gongzi, but he didn't think that I was waiting for the opportunity to attack him by the side. But when I was about to get it, a man in black came out to interfere, and now I think it's probably Qi Ying. Hua Siniang said, heading towards Qi Yingyan, "But I don't know what her plans are when she appears outside the west wall in black so late." ”

"I originally wanted to take advantage of the night to investigate and see who might be the one who was going to assassinate Master Ding, but I didn't expect to come across the scene of the fight between Mrs. Ding and Master Ding so coincidentally. ”

"Really, I thought Boss Qi was a robber hiding in the shadows. ”

"There should be many dowries in the dart box, Qi Ying asked herself, can't she carry so many things and still be able to communicate with her wife. ”

"Neither of you should fight. Zhang Yi was quite helpless about Hua Siniang and Qi Ying's verbal battle, so he interrupted the dispute between the two, "Zhang Mou will take someone to search again to see if he can find out where the stolen things are." ”

When the guards returned from the Juncheng Mansion, Zhang Er really led the guards to search each room again, among which Qi Ying's room was searched even more carefully, almost only three feet to the ground.

Qi Ying, Qu Hanyan, Nanying, Xin Pupu and others all came to the second courtyard, and witnessed Zhang Er and the guards searching Qi Ying's room, and Xin Pupu, who was standing in front of the South Chamber, saw that everyone still had nothing to gain, so he looked at Hua Siniang beside him and said:

"The walls have been tried, and the floor has been tried, and it seems that there is no place to store things like secret compartments and secret passages. The case came full circle and returned to square one. ”

"That Qi Ying can't completely clear the suspicion. Hua Siniang looked at Qi Ying's back outside the North Wing room, and a trace of anger flashed in her eyes.

"Madame seems to have a deep prejudice against the boss?"

"No one can stop me from taking revenge. ”

"Anyway, Ding Fu is dead after all, and Mrs. should also let go of hatred and return to a sense of freedom and freedom in her heart. ”

"Xin Gongzi seems to be coaxing me with a tone of coaxing a child. Hua Siniang retracted her gaze and looked at Xin Pupu.

Although Mrs. is married and married, she is slightly younger than Xin. ”

"How do you feel?"

"If you are too attached to hatred, you will only lose yourself, and you may also hurt the people around you. ”

"Listening to what you said, you seem to have experienced this experience?"

"Looking at you, it's like seeing me in the past. The corners of Xin Pupu's mouth rose slightly, and he smiled a little self-deprecatingly.

"Why, is it as free and easy as the second game master, has he also been plagued by hatred?"

"It was the Father-in-law who saved me from the brink of hatred, and without the Father-in-law, I would not be where I am today. ”

"But I am different from you, even if I fall into hatred and cannot extricate myself, no one will be hurt by me. ”

"What about yourself, don't you count all the pain you endure?"

"I don't feel pain, even if the pain is my own business, what's the matter?"

"No one is alone forever, at least for this moment, you have me by your side. Xin Pupu looked directly at Hua Siniang and said sincerely.

“…… I don't need to. A touch of sentimentality flashed in Hua Siniang's eyes, and she dropped these words and turned to leave.

Back in the room, Hua Siniang gently picked up the urn placed in the corner of the bed, hugged it tightly in her arms, and muttered to herself:

"Is it true that there is a man who said to me today exactly what you said, 'No one is always alone......'?

Hua Siniang's heart tingled, and tears rained down.
