Chapter 23: Jealousy

Of course, the corpse lying in the forest at the door of Hu Bing's house is not Li Yong, although he is also surnamed Li and named Li Rui, but he has nothing to do with Li Yong, and he does not know Hu Bing.

Li Rui is an orphan, he was adopted as an adopted son by Zhu Quan's father when he was a child, and he grew up with Zhu Quan, the two of them ate and slept together, and they were like brothers.

But this brotherhood, which has lasted for more than ten years, was broken because of a woman, not only that, but Zhu Quan also killed this person who has always been regarded as a brother by himself.

That's right, this is the most common relationship between two men and one woman in a drama, and Zhu Quan is the loser in this relationship.

Emotional matters cannot be forced, this point Zhu Quan knows very well, but he is also very clear about the reason why he became a loser: Zhu Quan has a birthmark on his face, which is not big, but it grows on his right cheek, and at a glance it seems to have been marked with ink by the pen. Li Rui, on the other hand, was born with fine skin and tender flesh, fairer than a woman.

Zhu Quan remembered the first time she saw herself, and when she saw the birthmark on his face, she was visibly surprised, and then quickly looked away, as if she was afraid of stinging his fragile self-esteem. And when she was with Li Rui, she seemed much more relaxed, joking unscrupulously, with a shy blush on her face.

Isn't it because of this birthmark?

Zhu Quan can't remember how many times, he used the stalactite powder in the store to wipe his right side of his face desperately, until the skin on his cheeks was broken, and it hurt hotly, but there was still no way to get rid of the birthmark. He even tried to use a knife to peel off a piece of his face, but the handle of the knife trembled and trembled in his hand, and he didn't dare to do it.

But at this time, Li Ruixing rushed over and told Zhu Quan that he wanted to marry a woman.

Who Li Rui wants to marry, Zhu Quan knows without asking, but he doesn't care anymore, because he is very sure that Li Rui can't marry that girl, and he won't let him marry her.

He followed Li Rui and attacked him in the nearby woods, dissecting his stomach. After that, he still didn't understand his hatred, and cut off Li Rui's face with a knife.

"Ruined your face to see if she likes you or not." He smiled viciously, his heart swelling with joy. However, when he saw Li Rui's ruined face in the moonlight, he was afraid, lost his knife, and fled back to Hu's house in a panic.

He saw Hu Bing lying in the courtyard, his clothes stained with blood, and a knife beside him.

At that moment, Zhu Quan almost thought that it was God's mercy that gave him such a good opportunity. He didn't hesitate, grabbed Hu Bing's knife and walked into the forest, used it to cut off the skin on Li Rui's body, and then put the knife next to Hu Bing, who was still asleep.

Of course, he didn't forget to dispose of his knife either, he threw it into a barren well, and after making sure that no one saw what he was doing, he sneaked back to Hu's house.

Zhu Quan's original intention was to make people unrecognizable of the identity of the corpse, but to his surprise, everyone believed that the unrecognizable corpse belonged to a man named Li Yong. Whether it is Hu Bing, or Li Yong's family, or even the world-famous hot hand catcher Xu Chong.

Zhu Quan secretly rejoiced: he and Li Yong did not have any intersection, so no one would suspect him of this matter. So when Zhao Zimai and his party came over, he was still trying his best to defend himself, saying that he didn't recognize Li Yong at all, so how could he harm him?

"You don't recognize Li Yong, you always recognize Li Rui, right?" Hearing Li Rui's name, Zhu Quan almost fainted, and he squeezed his thighs hard, leaving several deep scratches on them.

"You deceived him that he had no father or mother, and even if he disappeared, no family would come to look for him, so you destroyed his body like this." Zhao Zimai's voice was full of contempt, as if he was an inhumane ant, "You know what? Li Rui wanted to go home, but he couldn't find his way home, because the 'family' he thought was the murderer who killed him. ”

Zhu Quan fainted, because when Zhao Zimai said this, he saw Li Rui's head poking out from behind, and his skin cut off was like a crumpled red cloth.

"So this case is really Xu Chong's mistake," Sang's expression was a little gloating, he chewed a banana, and the corners of his mouth almost reached the root of his ears, "Didn't you say that he has a pair of eyes that are different, why do these eyes have a time to look away?" ”

Zhao Zimai knew that it was making fun of himself, but he had no intention of arguing with it, the case was solved, but he felt that all the strength in his body had been drained, and he was in a panic, and it seemed that he couldn't relieve it.

"Where's Lord Wu?" After being silent for a while, he asked Baotian, who was standing by the window.

"I took someone out to look for Lord Xu, and I haven't come back, Childe, didn't you ask him to expand the scope of the search yesterday?" Baotian replied, and said "Huh" again, "It seems that it is going to snow, so it will be even more difficult to find someone, Childe, should we go and answer it?" ”

Speaking of this, seeing that Zhao Zimai was silent, Baotian walked to his side and stretched out his hand to shake it in front of his eyes, "Childe, what do you want?" Why did you get stuck? ”

"Before, I was hoping to find Xu Chong quickly, but now I don't know how to bear all this after he comes back. The taste of falling from the altar is not pleasant. Zhao Zimai suddenly remembered what Xu Chong said to himself when he was drunk, and he said that what he was most afraid of was failure, so he fled from the capital in the first place. But now, even if he escapes from the capital, he still can't have a glorious ending in his hometown.

Returning home seems to be his ultimate fate.

"Does this unjust case have anything to do with Xu Chong's disappearance?" San's voice came again, still in a lazy tone of schadenfreude. But Zhao Zimai felt that it seemed to have a strange magic, and it could always salvage him out at the right time when he was trapped by emotions.

"You said that Xu Chong's disappearance may have something to do with this case, that's why we spent a lot of effort here, why, now we find that we have misjudged again?" Sang didn't seem to intend to let him go, and was still aggressively asking.

"yes, maybe I misjudged." He could only admit it honestly, and then, he spread his hands and smiled with a salivating face, "Great Immortal, you are well-informed, you know half of the things in the sky and all the things in the ground, why don't you think of a way, let's work together, find Xu Chong quickly, and we can rush back to the capital as soon as possible." ”
