Chapter 251: The Fifth Man
Liu also knew that Yang Yuanwai knew, but Yang Yuanwai refused to say it for some reason, no matter how she persuaded him, he refused to let go. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Liu couldn't, and she couldn't go to the official to denounce her husband, so she had to cry day and night, blaming herself for not taking good care of her only son, and then she gradually fell seriously ill.
Hearing that Yang Yuanwai was already relieved, Liu couldn't help but step forward and grab Yang Yuanwai's hand and ask:
"Who? Who the hell is that woman? β
Yang Yuanwai said with difficulty: "Wan Jiaolou...... Green eyebrows! β
Yang Licong fell in love with the woman in the Qinglou, which is indeed not a glorious thing.
If it was just a scene in the dust, probably Yang Yuanwai would not be so anxious, Yang Licong really loves Qingmei, which makes Yang Yuanwai refuse to let go of Qingmei even after Yang Licong's death, for fear that outsiders will break their mouths and say that Yang Licong lost his life for a dust girl.
Out of Yang's Mansion, Ye Ziluo didn't ride a horse again, leading the horse to follow Yin Seventeen, who was thinking about things while walking, he walked two steps quickly to catch up:
"Yang Yuanwai also felt that Qingmei had nothing to do with Yang Licong's death, so he concealed it, and because he didn't want Yang Licong to lose his reputation even after his death, he ......"
Yin Seventeen interrupted Ye Ziluo's words: "I can understand, Ziluo, but just because I can understand doesn't mean that I will agree." β
Ye Ziluo didn't speak again, after all, because of Yang Licong's silence, they did take a lot of detours.
And Qingmei, for now, is the most likely suspect of the murderer.
After being silent for a while, Ye Ziluo sighed:
"We need to find Qingmei as soon as possible."
Yin Seventeen said: "Well, otherwise she will be the next one who is afraid of death." β
Ye Ziluo couldn't believe his ears: "What? Isn't she...... Murderer? β
Yin Seventeen said ambiguously: "I didn't say no, but until the end, I'm afraid...... She's both. β
What is both?
Ye Ziluo looked at Yin Seventeen for some reason, and Yin Seventeen waved his hand and said:
"Remember when I said I slipped through the net?"
Ye Ziluo nodded.
Yin Seventeen continued: "Ji Guangfa and Yao Jun were all anglers on the night of the tenth day of August last year, Yao Jun and the three died, and Ji Guangfa was also put on the bright side, just waiting for the time to ......."
She made a dead gesture: "It's something that so many people know, so it's not a fish that has slipped through the net, so I guess the fish that slipped through the net should be someone else, and now I'm afraid that this fish will be ...... Blue eyebrows. β
Ye Ziluo frowned: "How come?" If Qingmei is the murderer, how could she kill herself? β
Yin Seventeen pouted: "How could it not?" If Qingmei is really a fish that slipped through the net, it means that there were not only four people but five people on the night of August 11 last year. β
Ye Ziluo said: "Do you think Qingmei is the fifth person?" But didn't Ji Guangfa say that there was no fifth, sixth, or seventh? β
Yin Seventeen said: "What if the four of them didn't see Qingmei at that time? β
The leaves fell a little transparently: "You mean...... Blue eyebrows hiding in the shadows? β
Yin Seventeen stopped talking: "This person hiding in the shadows must be the fifth person, I can be sure of this, but I can't be sure if Qingmei is the fifth person or not, but Qingmei may be the second murderer nine times out of ten, but it is almost certain, and now only she is found to confirm...... We must find her before tomorrow's accident, but where will she be? β
Ye Ziluo said: "Will you go back?" β
Yin Seventeen said casually: "Where can I go back......"
Before he finished speaking, Yin Seventeen suddenly ran up, ran back after a few steps, and rode back with Ye Ziluo's arm on his hand:
"Quick! Let's go to Wanjiao Building! β
Ye Ziluo was pulled by Yin Seventeen and his face was red, he was thin-skinned, and Yin Seventeen pulled it with both hands, until the horse ran up and the night wind blew, he was better.
I also wondered in my heart, when did he become so easily shy?
When Xu Lianhua confessed to him, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't even feel red at the root of his ears, how could Yin Seventeen make a joke at random, pull at will, and he could blush mature shrimp?
The warm leaves on the road kept his face strained, thinking seriously about the problem.
Yin Qiqi was anxious about the speculation in her heart, and she didn't pay attention to Ye Ziluo's emotions, and when she arrived at Wanjiao Building, she went straight into Wanjiao Building, which was gradually greeted by guests.
Breaking into the backyard of Wanjiaolou, she remembered that Xiao Xiang said that during the three days when Qingmei was not there every month, Xiao Xiang would stay in the backyard to help with some chores, especially in the back kitchen.
Ye Ziluo dealt with the follow-up troubles brought by Yin Seventeen's direct intrusion into Wan Jiaolou, and looked at the backyard while talking to Wan's mother.
Xiao Xiang was really in the kitchen, and when Yin Seventeen entered, Xiao Xiang was helping to wash the vegetables, washing the vegetables with one hand, and hiding the other hand in the wide sleeves, only gently stabilizing the cutting board.
At this time, it was the beginning of the busiest period of Wanjiaolou, and the back kitchen should have prepared the wine and food early, so Yin Seventeen went in, and everyone just looked up at the visitor, and a person who looked like a chef asked:
"Huh! Who are you? What do you do in the kitchen? Get out of here! This is not the place to have fun, go upstairs in the front yard! β
Yin Seventeen didn't make a sound, she just looked at Xiao Xiang.
Xiao Xiang also raised her head, looking at Yin Seventeen, and silently moved her left hand hidden in her sleeve behind her back.
This hidden action fell in Yin Seventeen's eyes, and only made her purse a shallow smile:
"I'm here to find Xiaoxiang, Xiaoxiang! Let's go to the courtyard and talk. β
A woman who was also helping to wash and chop vegetables looked at Yin Seventeen's handsome appearance and smiled at Xiaoxiang:
"Xiaoxiang, you don't hurry up! That's a good thing, what a handsome son! β
Especially the wealth of Yin Seventeen, who works in Wanjiao Building to help idle, which one is not a sharp-eyed person.
After taking a look, he knew that Yin Seventeen was a well-born son, and they all thought that Xiao Xiang was rich and noble.
Xiao Xiang knew that it was not, and she cowered and didn't dare to take half a step.
Yin Seventeen said: "You want to say it here?" β
Xiaoxiang shook her head.
Yin Seventeen stretched out his hand: "Then come here, you believe me, I can stop her." β
Xiaoxiang still shook her head: "You can't find her!" β
Yin Seventeen said: "I can." β
Xiao Xiang didn't understand why she would believe the son in front of her who had only met three times, and in this third meeting, she could actually pour out the painful memories in her heart.
This is something she didn't think of at all in the past year, and she didn't dare to think about it!
Yin Seventeen and Xiao Xiang sat face to face at the stone table in the courtyard, Xiao Xiang wept bitterly, she slowly stretched out her left hand from the too wide cuff, and the fingers that were supposed to be five fingers were only four fingers!
When Ye Ziluo and Mother Wan entered the backyard, they just saw this scene, and Mother Wan exclaimed:
"It's ...... What's going on? β
Mother Wan ran close to the stone table with wide eyes and asked Xiaoxiang:
"Xiaoxiang, you say! What's going on with you? Why is the tail finger gone? β
Suddenly thinking of Qingmei again, Mother Wan shook Xiaoxiang's shoulders:
"Where's the green eyebrows? Where did she go during the three days she was absent every month? Why is your tail finger missing? Who did it? Who ate the leopard and dared to touch my Wan Jiaolou! β
The more Mother Wan spoke, the more excited she became, so excited that she shook Xiaoxiang's head a little dizzy:
"Mom...... Mom! Don't shake it...... I don't know where the girl went, I don't know ......."
Mother Wan still wanted to ask again, but Yin Seventeen signaled, and Ye Ziluo had already pulled Mother Wan out of the courtyard.
Mother Wan was unwilling and wanted to come back, Ye Ziluo said:
"Mother Wan, you should know that we are running errands for the government, and if you mess around, you will interfere with official business!"
Mother Wan stopped yelling and looked at Ye Ziluo in a little panic:
"Then my family's green eyebrows...... Will be back, right? β
Unlike Wan's mother, who was worried about whether her cash cow would come back, Xiaoxiang didn't really want Qingmei to come back, because Qingmei's return meant that her nightmare would have to continue...... No, it won't continue.
Xiaoxiang smiled miserably.
Since Ye Ziluo took Mother Wan away, knowing that she couldn't escape and stretched out her left hand, Xiaoxiang was silent and never opened her mouth again.
Yin Seventeen looked at Xiao Xiang, accompanied Xiao Xiang to be silent for a while, and suddenly spoke:
"Actually, you're the next one, right?"
Xiao Xiang's eyes were raised suddenly because of Yin Seventeen's sudden words, and she looked at Yin Seventeen in shock:
"You ......"
Yin Seventeen said: "I know, I know, I think you are the next, and Ji Guangfa is also the next, so whether he is the fourth person or you are the fourth person, in fact, it is only a matter of time, even if it is not the fourth person, it should be the fifth person." β
Xiao Xiang's voice trembled, and her emotions had collapsed:
"I hid for a year...... Hidden deep for a year......"
Yin Seventeen induced: "Say it, tell everything that night, how did you get to Wuzi Lake?" β
Xiao Xiang looked at Yin Seventeen fixedly for a long time, her eyes full of struggle:
"It's my fault...... It's really my fault...... The girl punishes me...... That's as it should be......"
A year ago, Qingmei and Yang Licong met and fell in love, but the love between the two was not blessed, because Qingmei was in the dust, because Yang Licong's father strongly opposed, the two loved quite hard.
Yang Licong is an upright and filial man, he is neither willing to give up his true love Qingmei, but he also does not want to make trouble with Yang Yuanwai, the benevolence and filial piety he learned since childhood does not allow him to do so, and Qingmei does not agree.
Qingmei has been lonely since she was a child, she is most envious of a happy family, and she can't bear to destroy a family that should be a father and son because of her.
So the two decided to work hard and survive until the annual Flower Moon Festival.
So when it was almost time for the Flower Moon Festival, Yang Licong stayed at the Lotus Inn.
And on the night of the storm, on the tenth day of August last year, Qingmei was worried that the robe that Yang Licong brought into the Lotus Inn was too thin, and Qingmei asked Xiaoxiang to bring the thick robe sewn by Qingmei to the Lotus Inn.
But when he arrived at the Lotus Inn, Xiao Xiang saw a person dragging Yang Licong, who was in a coma, into a carriage, and then Xiao Xiang followed the carriage to Wuzi Lake.
The carriage may not be running fast because of its old age, but Xiao Xiang spread her legs and ran, but she was able to catch up with the carriage.
Yin Seventeen asked, "Have you seen who drowned Yang Licong?" β
Xiaoxiang shook her head: "No, that person is black, dressed in clothes, and it's storming, I can't see ...... clearly."
Not only could she not see clearly, but she was also very flustered at that time.
If it weren't for the fact that Yang Licong was Qingmei's sweetheart, Xiaoxiang probably wouldn't even have the courage to catch up.
But later, Xiaoxiang preferred that she had never had the courage to catch up with the carriage.
Because of the courage, she probably never had it.
Xiao Xiang said: "You don't know that at that time, I was hiding in the dark, watching the scene when that person forced Young Master Yang, who woke up from a coma, to press the lake several times, I was scared...... Scared ......."
When the carriage arrived at Wuzi Lake, Yang Licong, who was dragged to the lake, woke up, but he seemed to faint again quickly, and was completely drowned in the lake by the first murderer without a few struggles.
Then, Yang Licong was dragged back to the carriage, and the murderer set off the carriage again and slowly drove back to the Lotus Inn.
It felt like the bull's head and horse face of the Hades Palace, locking the damned people to Huangquan Road, and the murderer was very calm throughout the process.
Yin Seventeen asked, "At that time, did you still see the other four people by Wuzi Lake?" β
Xiaoxiang nodded: "Yes, Yao Jun, Xiaoyaozi, Lin Ya, Ji Guangfa, the four of them are also there, then they will be scattered by the lake and catch fish, except for Yao Jun and Xiaoyaozi sitting together fishing, Lin Ya and Ji Guangfa each sit far away, and the four of them sit in three places......"
Later, Xiaoxiang didn't dare to follow the carriage anymore, she ran back to Wanjiaolou with a sigh of relief, and then fainted in Qingmei's startled eyes.
The next day, she slept until noon and woke up, and then she didn't have time to tell Qingmei what happened last night, and there was already a rumor that Yang Licong had been killed at the Lotus Inn.
Qingmei was in a trance for several days, and in a few days, he was so thin that he didn't look like a person, and the whole person lost his soul.
Finally, when it was time to ease up, Qingmei suddenly stopped eating or drinking, practiced piano and dance, accompanied and picked up guests, and everything quickly became normal.
Yin Seventeen said: "Because you told Qingmei, all the things you saw that night?" β
Xiao Xiang's right hand covered the wound of the severed tail finger of her left hand, and the broken wound was still bandaged, and when she used her force, the blood suddenly stained the white gauze:
"Yes!"
That Hui Qingmei looked at Xiaoxiang incredulously for a long time, and saw Xiaoxiang thinking that Qingmei would kill her to vent her anger.
But Qingmei didn't, she asked Xiaoxiang to help her, she must help her, it was regarded as atonement!
Xiao Xiang said: "We have been preparing for a year, a whole year, all the big and small things, all the things that may happen, how to achieve the effect that should be achieved after the threat, how to get Hedinghong, which is listed as a banned drug by the government, and how to make the four bastards who can't be saved when they see death willingly!" β
Xiaoxiang suddenly laughed, laughing until tears fell out:
"I'm also a bastard who can't be saved! So when the girl wanted to cut my finger to make Ji Guangfa believe it, I didn't hesitate! β
Yin Seventeen asked, "Where is Qingmei now?" You really don't know anything about it? β
Xiaoxiang looked at Yin Seventeen with tears in her eyes: "I don't know, but I know that the girl won't live in the end, and when the damned people are dead, she won't live alone anymore......"
