Chapter 141: A Rake (7)
The sound was not very high, but it exploded through the crowd like a thunderclap. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Everyone turned their heads in unison and looked at the place where the voice had come from.
I saw a few meters away from the crowd, a man leaning against a pillar, wearing a light gray jacket and a pair of sneakers on his feet, was smoking a cigarette while looking at the crowd.
The crowd was silent for a moment, and then someone asked curiously, "Sir, do you mean that you were there when the trellis fell?" β
The man didn't answer, took a few puffs of cigarette, then turned sideways, dusted off the ashes in the ashtray on the table next to him, and then, looking up, his eyes fell lightly on the few parties who were surrounded by the crowd.
The hotel manager had always thought that Yang Liu had knocked down the flower stand, but now when he saw a witness suddenly appear, he suddenly lost his mind. He pushed through the crowd and walked towards the man, stopped a few steps in front of the man, held out a hand to the man, and said, "Hello gentleman, I am the manager of the hotel, can you tell us what the situation was at that time?" β
The man leaned lazily against the pillar, symbolically stretched out his hand, shook it lightly with the manager, nodded and said, "Yes, I know the situation at that time." β
The man had a cigarette in his mouth, and when he spoke, his words were not very clear, but Yang Liu always felt that this voice gave her a feeling of dΓ©jΓ vu.
The flower stand was not knocked down by Yang Liu, but because there were only two of them at the scene, there was no third person at all, so Yang Liu could not clear his suspicion at all, and now, this man said that he was an eyewitness at the scene, could it be that someone saw the situation at that time without her knowledge?
Although Yang Liu was not afraid of Xu Yanran's slander, so many people stood on Xu Yanran's side and regarded herself as a murderer, and she was extremely depressed.
Now, suddenly standing up alone and willing to speak for himself, Yang Liu felt very moved. She stood still, nodded in the direction of the man, and said, "This gentleman, you mean, did you see the scene at that time?" If you are really an eyewitness, can you please help me testify? β
Wu Yue also echoed and said, "Yes, this gentleman, please tell me the real situation you see." β
The man stood up and snuffed out the cigarette in his ashtray before lifting his leg and walking towards the crowd.
The man walked unhurriedly, and it was not until he was about to walk in front of him that Yang Liu could see his face clearly, hey! How familiar is this face?
"Mei ...... Messi? β
Yang Liu was stunned for a while, and then remembered that this person turned out to be Xiao Yihan's friend - Messi.
Speaking of which, when she first approached Xiao Yihan, she met Messi once or twice. That time, in order to keep Xiao Yihan, he and Dong Xiaowan pretended to jump into the river, and it was the man in front of him who saved Dong Xiaowan.
Later, I saw it again in Xiao Yihan's villa. She hasn't seen him since.
But how did he end up here? Willow is a little foggy.
Yang Liu suddenly thought that when he left the lounge, he actually saw Xiao Yihan standing outside the door, and it was he who pulled him in time to let her escape.
Could it be that he is secretly helping himself?
Yang Liu's eyes glanced around, but he didn't see Xiao Yihan's figure.
Messi walked over and stopped about a meter away from the crowd.
He first glanced at Yang Liu, and then at Xu Yanran, whose face was covered in blood, with no expression on his face, as if he didn't know these two people at all.
Messi is Xiao Yihan's friend, and Xu Yanran naturally recognizes him, so when she first saw Messi, Xu Yanran was still a little happy. However, she suddenly heard the word "Messi" shouted out of Yang Liu's mouth, and her heart sank, it turned out that this girl knew him too.
Thinking about it carefully, there was no one else in the house at that time, this Messi actually said that he saw the situation at that time, he was obviously talking nonsense, what is his intention to talk nonsense like this?
Xu Yanran's brain went blank in an instant, and her two hands involuntarily clenched into fists.
Messi stood there, pointed at the willow with his finger, and said, "She didn't push the flower stand, she didn't push the flower stand." β
His words were crisp and crisp, without the slightest hesitation.
"She didn't push it...... Could it be that the trellis fell on its own? β
Someone in the crowd started talking.
"How is it possible, we have taken fixed measures for that flower stand, it is impossible for it to fall by itself, it must have fallen due to human factors......"
As soon as the manager heard that it was not Yang Liu who fell, he immediately thought that there would be a large amount of compensation, and he couldn't help but get anxious.
When everyone quieted down, Messi frowned slightly, and said word by word: "I just said that she didn't knock down the flower stand, but I didn't say that the flower stand fell by herself......"
"Huh? What does that mean exactly? β
"Speak plainly, young man."
"What do you meanβ" the manager said with a puzzled look, "the trellis was still pushed down, not by itself, right?" β
Messi nodded.
Everyone is even more at a loss, the flower stand was not pushed down by the willow, and it was not fallen by itself, so how did this flower stand fall?
Aren't there just two people on the scene? Could it be ......
Everyone present immediately shifted their eyes from Yang Liu's body to Xu Yanran's body.
Xu Yanran's face turned pale all of a sudden, she clenched her fists tightly, and her teeth rattled.
She didn't understand, why did all the men in the world help that dead girl speak?
Wu Yue listened to Messi's words, and his eyes naturally fell on Xu Yanran's face, and then, he found that Xu Yanran's face changed, his eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently, and said coldly: "Yanran, what's going on?" You're telling me the truth? β
Seeing that her cousin was suspicious, Xu Yanran couldn't help but be annoyed, and she said to Wu Yue angrily: "Cousin, what I do is the truth, why don't you believe me?" β
Someone in the crowd said to Xu Yanran: "Someone at the scene witnessed it with their own eyes, so it must not be that girl who pushed it, you can't be wrong, right?" β
Xu Yanran looked at the person, then turned to Messi and said, "It's not that I read it wrong, but some people say they saw it even though they didn't see it." β
What does Xu Yanran mean by words, that is, Messi committed perjury?
Everyone turned their attention to Messi.
Messi stood there coldly, expressionless on his face, as if Xu Yanran was not talking about him.
Xu Yanran sneered, and then said: "They are colluding and want to join forces to bully me......" (To be continued.) )
