Chapter 21 Peeling Back the Threads and Discussing the Years

However, there will always be people who insist on a conversation late at night, such as Yin Feicheng, who was ripped away after chatting with Mu Xuanling, and is now forced to participate in a late-night conversation.

Now Yin Feicheng is helplessly opening his sleepy eyes, looking at Liu Qi who looks terrible on the other side.

"Brother Liu, it's so late, if you don't sleep, I'll sleep too."

Yin Feicheng waited for a long time and didn't see Liu Qi speak, so he had to take the initiative.

"When did you know about the events of the year?"

Liu Qi finally spoke.

"Then Brother Liu, when did you find out?"

Yin Feicheng asked rhetorically.

"After the accident back then, I once suspected that she still had you and even Ji He, after all, Chu Xing died without any traces of struggle, and there were few people who could make Chu Xing die calmly.

But your alibi was complete when Chu Xing died, so I ruled you out.

And Ji He has been with me when Chu Tiancheng was cut off, according to the inference, if the same person committed murder, it could not be Ji He.

So in the end, I suspected that she was the only object. ”

"At that time, you were already suspicious of her, if I remember correctly, you were in love at that time."

Yin Feicheng looked at Liu Qi with a strange look in his eyes.

Liu Qi did not respond to Yin Feicheng's question, but continued.

"What I didn't expect was that Chu Xing used his death to cover her up."

"What cover-up?"

Yin Feicheng didn't know much about this matter.

"Chu Xing was holding a purse in her hand when she died, and there was a bracelet she had lost at that time. I was the first to find the body, so I found the bracelet and put it away.

After ruling out the two of you again, I was considering the possibility that she killed Chu Xing, but then this bracelet dispelled my suspicions about her.

Because I thought Chu Xing liked her, I put away her bracelet and hid it on my body.

If she killed Chu Xing, then Chu Xing should have pulled out the bracelet to warn him when he died, but Chu Xing didn't, but held it tightly.

This makes me think that Chu Xing remembered the bracelet and her when he died, so he held it and cherished it at the last moment. ”

Liu Qi explained this time.

"Chu Xing is really affectionate and righteous!"

Yin Fei sighed, it is conceivable that no matter whether Chu Xing really likes Mu Xuanling or not, but at that time, he really wanted Mu Xuanling to do something without being discovered.

"Excluding the three of you, I even doubted Chu Tiancheng, but sacrificing one hand to dispel suspicions, then as a ghost hand in the Western Regions, his sacrifice is inevitably too great.

So for a year or two after that, I really thought that the Tianxuan Star Lord was someone else. ”

"And how did you finally reconfirm that it was her?"

Yin Feicheng felt that what might be a long story ahead, so he poured himself a cup of tea to refresh himself.

"After returning from the Western Regions, we each had to go home, and she left with the opportunity.

When I tried to look for her again, I realized that I couldn't find her anyway.

I have been to the wooden house she said in Nujiang, but only a few people were there, and when asked about her whereabouts, the people in the house also said that the eldest lady and the old lady had gone on a long trip.

Several times like this, she never appeared in that house. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Qi paused, and after a long while, he continued.

"About two years later, I met her when I was at the Luoyang Flower Club.

She was in the crowd, walking and stopping, and I wanted to go up and ask her where she had been for the past two years, but I was hesitating and she was gone.

And the next morning, it came out that He Wensheng, the Burning Heart Sword, had died, and I didn't see her in Luoyang again.

After another year, Bao Yanyu, the eldest son of Jiangnan Zongbang, married a wife, and I went with my father to congratulate her, and met her again.

This time I got along with her for two or three days, but the good times did not last long, she said that her mother was sick and wanted to go home to serve her, and she would go to Echo Hill to find me after a while.

The day after she left, I received news of the death of both male and female, and she never looked for me. ”

"So, when you met her two times after that, and both times there was a murder, you suspected that it was her, right?"

"Not only that, three or four years ago, I returned to the Western Regions and wanted to pay homage to Chu Xing.

But I didn't expect that there was an unexpected gain, and the proprietress of the Western Regions God of Wealth Tavern mentioned that before we left, she had entrusted a box of things back to the Central Plains.

She told the proprietress that it was some souvenirs, and it was inconvenient to take them on the road, so she found a few travelers to transport them. ”

"So you suspect that the box might contain a hand and a Kowloon Cup?"

"That's right."

"Then, Brother Liu, I don't believe it, you decided it was her based on this alone, and you didn't continue to investigate."

Yin Feicheng asked.

"I found the Yukio of the year, and Yukio said that they were only responsible for transporting them to Kannai.

When they arrived at the Guannai, they opened a room at the local Yuelai Inn, called Sang Girl, paid the rent for seven days, and then put their things in the room and left.

Judging from the timing of our return trip, we should have arrived at Kannai a day or two earlier than the group of travelers, and then walked for another five days, and then parted when we arrived in Jinju.

If she hurried to leave, she could have rushed back and retrieved the contents before the room was due.

Then I went to check on the owner of the Joy Inn, and luckily he remembered it.

The boss told me that six days after the box had been in the inn, a girl came, claiming to be Miss Sang, and stayed in that room, and left the room early the next morning.

When the shopkeeper cleaned the room, he found that there was still a small half box of specialties in the box.

You say, who else would there be if it wasn't her? ”

A wry smile appeared on Liu Qi's face.

"So, three or four years ago, you confirmed in your heart that it was her. But so far, you don't seem to have done anything. ”

Yin Fei looked at him steadily, as if he wanted to know an answer.

"After I learned all this, I wanted to go over and ask her why she killed Chu Xing.

I ran all the way to the vicinity of Qishan, trying to ask her about it.

However, after that, I finally realized that she was a killer, and did she need any reason to kill? ”

Liu Qi's smile became more and more bitter.

"Then you followed me all the way tonight, and you still want to ask clearly, so why don't you just go in and ask her."

Yin Feicheng was still a little incomprehensible to Liu Qi's posture of following him all the way and waiting outside the room for half a night.

"Ask her? I don't even know what to ask her? If I asked her, would she admit it? ”

"Maybe."

"Then do you still want to avenge Chu Xing?"

Yin Feicheng continued to ask.

"Probably even Chu Xing himself didn't want me to help him take revenge, Chu Xing covered her up with death, and didn't even warn his adoptive father, so she cut off Chu Tiancheng's hand."

Liu Qi sighed after speaking.

"As for revenge, although I don't know the reason, but if I had such thoughts about her, Brother Yin, you wouldn't let me do it, would you?"

Liu Qi said, also staring at Yin Feicheng's expression.

"Brother Liu, you have guessed many things, but there are still some things that you don't know."

Yin Feicheng did not answer him directly.

"And what I don't know, are you going to tell me?"

"No, those things, if you want to know, you can only know from her."

"It's late at night, you should rest early."

After another period of silence, Yin Feicheng opened his mouth to see off the guests.
