Chapter 045: Second Suspect
While Ye Xintian pricked up her ears to listen, she raised her head and drank the tea in her hand, thinking that it was good that she called Chunke and Qingling away in advance, otherwise the arrival of the person above her head would definitely cause trouble.
She stood up calmly, bent down to blow out the candle on the table, walked to the dresser, opened the drawer and took out the contents inside, and then paced lightly to the open window, and waited quietly.
Taking advantage of the hazy moonlight, the man on the roof first took a few steps on the roof, then jumped down and landed steadily, and then he rushed into the room.
Ye Xintian clenched the dagger in his hand, he had already prepared, and at the moment when the first gust of wind blew in, he raised his hand and stabbed forward, attacking quickly and ruthlessly.
Li Hongpeng has been in the rivers and lakes for many years, and he noticed something was wrong for the first time, and at the same time as he jumped into the window, he clenched the long sword he carried with him, and the sharp dagger hit him in the face, he leaned back, lowered his body, and the long sword resisted the dagger that stabbed him.
"It's really merciful." He stood on the ground with one foot against the edge of the bed, and stood on tiptoe on the ground with one foot on his toes, his upper body at ninety degrees, his unsheathed sword resting on his chest, and the dagger glowing with white light stuck on the sword.
"The master taught that to be merciful to the enemy is to be cruel to oneself." Ye Xintian said with a smile, his eyes full of cunning.
Li Hongpeng snorted coldly and said, "The alertness has indeed become higher, it seems that the incident in the morning has taught you a lot of lessons." ”
"Not really." Ye Xintian thinks that people should eat a trench and grow wise.
In the morning, she really didn't expect it. Who would have thought that she would be forced into the dark alley and almost lose her life, it seems that someone doesn't want her to continue to investigate, this matter is definitely not simple, she still sometimes wonders now, is it really against her.
Su Shi, at most, is Yi Sijin's nurse, to put it bluntly, she doesn't know anything, kill Su Shi alone, blame her, is there anything else you haven't figured out?
And Jing Zhaoyin decided that she was a murderer, only because of one of the hairpins in Ye Xintian's hand. To be honest, she hasn't even looked at the hairpin, but according to Chunke, the hairpin was indeed the original body's favorite, but since it is the favorite, why don't you usually wear it on your body?
So, where did the hairpin left at the scene of the murder come from, and why did it stay at the scene of the crime? Why did Jing Zhaoyin look at her unpleasantly, and he wished he could convict her immediately?
Ye Xintian had a lot of questions in his head, but he couldn't find the result, and he didn't know where to start. Tomorrow afternoon is the day of the interrogation, and it is clearly said that it will be three days, why is Jing Zhaoyin so anxious to sue the emperor and start the trial tomorrow afternoon?
While thinking, she walked to the table, picked up the fire box, blew it gently, the spark bloomed in her hand, and then lit the candle on the table, she asked, "Master, how are the people checking?" ”
"I followed him for a day and found that he was not suspicious except for going back and forth to his home, which was the place where he worked."
"And who did he come into contact with?"
"Nothing special, except for my family, I just work."
"You followed him for a day, did you notice anything wrong with him?"
"No, it's a good person, the old man's orange drops, he will bend down to help pick it up, and greet people politely."
After Ye Xintian listened, he paused and asked, "In your eyes, he is a good person?" ”
"At least in my opinion, there's nothing wrong with him, and it doesn't look like he's going to kill someone." Li Hongpeng answered truthfully and gave a guess truthfully.
"There are some things that you can't just look at." In Ye Xintian's eyes, as long as there is anything related to the deceased, it may be the murderer.
Li Hongpeng crossed his arms around his chest, raised his eyebrows and asked, "He is the first person you suspect?" ”
"Yes, there is no evidence, but a woman's intuition tells me that he will be." Ye Xintian is really not sure, two days have passed, and she still has no bottom in her heart.
The murder scene that should be investigated has been explored, the autopsy has been autopsied, and the confession has been heard, she really has no clue, whether things are as simple as she thought, she doesn't know.
However, Yi Sijin's attitude told her that the murder of the Su family was not so simple, he guessed who the murderer was, but he didn't do it, what he was hiding, she didn't know.
Li Hongpeng chuckled and said, "Then your intuition is inevitably too inaccurate." ”
"You don't think it's him?" Ye Xintian asked with squinted eyes.
"At least for now, I don't think he's." Li Hongpeng said bluntly.
Ye Xintian nodded, didn't say agree, didn't say disagree, supported his chin behind his hand, thought for a while, and said, "Since you don't think so, let's go to the second suspect now." ”
"Now?" Li Hongpeng glanced at the moonlight outside the window, it was already late, didn't he go to sleep at this time?
"Yes." Ye Xintian mysteriously, put his index finger to his lips, and made a silent move.
The two of them changed into prepared night clothes, and their whole bodies were black, covered with black veils, and only a pair of eyes were exposed.
Ye Xintian opened the door and led Li Hongpeng to walk slowly along the shadow of the reflected black eaves, and they walked out of the Mingyue Pavilion and came to a courtyard.
She stood on tiptoe, looked at the people inside through the wall, and found that the candle flame in the room was still on, she hooked the corners of her lips and led Li Hongpeng to another corner. She deliberately passed by here during the day and found that the wall was relatively low and easy to climb.
She jumped onto the water-filled tank, propped her feet open on the rim of the tank, reaching just enough for the top of the fence to climb up with a single leap.
She hugged the wall, kicked up with both feet at the same time, stretched her hands forward, and looked like she was about to hang on the wall, but she didn't expect that there was water on the wall, and her arm slipped and she fell backwards.
Li Hongpeng watched her climb onto the water tank, and was about to ask her what she was going to do, but she had already climbed up, and she didn't jump well, and the whole person leaned back.
Ye Xintian's eyes were half-squinted, he was thinking of suffering, but the pain did not hit, and his back was pressed against a pair of big palms.
"What do you want to do!" Li Hongpeng suppressed his anger and asked in a low voice.
Ye Xintian turned over and jumped down, stood on the ground, covered his mouth with one hand and said, "I want to go up to the roof."
Li Hongpeng glanced at her angrily, and wanted to pry her head open to see what was inside, so he didn't need the first sword in the world, so he had to do it himself.
He took her hand down and glared at her fiercely, "Tell me what I'm going to do, I'll go, clumsy, what can I do." ”
Ye Xintian knew that Li Hongpeng was just hard-mouthed, and she still wanted to help her in her heart, so she said: "Let's go up together, there are some things I have to confirm with my own eyes." ”
Li Hongpeng couldn't resist her, so he had to hold her waist with both hands, luck dantian, a wind formed under his feet, and with a light touch on the ground, he and she jumped on the roof like the wind.
Ye Xintian couldn't adapt for a while, the roof full of tiles, she couldn't even stand steadily, and a light breeze blew, and her body swayed.
"Stand." Li Hongpeng put one hand on her shoulder to stabilize her body.
Ye Xintian gasped for breath, but as soon as his hand left, she panicked: "Wait for me to get used to it." ”
"Don't you often say that you are not afraid of heaven and earth?" Li Hongpeng watched her slowly squat down and couldn't help but tease.
Not far away, two figures hidden in the darkness took in the scene on the roof, Li Hongpeng looked back at their direction thoughtfully, and they quickly disappeared into the night.
It wasn't until the sight of the roof was no longer on their side that the two of them peeked out of the darkness and continued to observe the movements of the two on the roof.
"Master, aren't we going to stop it?" Chen Shen looked at the two people with some concern, and below them was Cheng Yun's room.
Yi Sijin raised her hand to stop it, signaled Chen Shen not to move, and said, "There's no need, let her go." ”
"Has the lord been too indulgent to the princess recently?" Several times he should have stopped it, but Chen Shen did not receive an order.
Yi Sijin twisted her eyebrows, glanced at Chen Shen with slanted eyes, and said, "You have been talking a lot lately." ”
"Damn it!" Chen Shen knelt down on one knee and said with his head down.
Yi Sijin looked ahead, saw the petite body on the roof, hooked her lips, and did not call Chen Shen on the ground.
Sometimes, kneeling can make people more sober, and Chen Shen needs such a lesson now.
It's not so much that he doesn't care about Ye Xintian, it's better that he is looking forward to the next development, he really wants to know, if she knows that this matter has something to do with someone, will she stop it.
He is gambling, betting on whether she will kill her relatives in righteousness, and betting on whether she will choose one side of the force to stand as he wishes.
He didn't tell anyone about this, including Xiang Ze, he had his own plans.
On the other side, Ye Xintian finally stood firm, she squatted down, pulled off a tile on the roof, the light came out of the room, she leaned down on the roof, and put her whole face on the tile hole to observe the situation inside.
Cheng Yun was alone in the room, pacing back and forth, as if she was very annoyed, and then the maid pushed the door and walked in, put the stew pot on the table and withdrew, she sat down and lifted the lid of the stew pot.
"Ah!!h A piercing scream came, and the lid of the stew pot shattered to the ground with a bang, and Cheng Yun turned pale with fright.
The maid quickly came in and took away the stew pot, only to find that there was blood in the stew pot, I don't know if it was animal blood or human blood, no wonder Cheng Yun was so frightened that her soul was gone.
Ye Xintian stuck out her tongue, showed a treacherous smile, and then took out something from the bag she was carrying, it was a mouse with a terrible death, and she threw it into it from the tile hole.
Li Hongpeng watched her behave the whole time, didn't say a word, and didn't stop her.
"Ah!!h The screams were heard again, harsher and louder than the last time.
"Someone, help!" Cheng Yun rushed out of the door, crying all the way and running out of the yard, it was really distressing.
"Hahaha......" Ye Xintian hugged his stomach, laughing so much that tears came out, and he just rolled on the ground.
"I suspect you're playing tricks on her in the name of investigating the case." Li Hongpeng unceremoniously accused her.
