Chapter Forty-Six: Clues

Hua Xiangrong didn't react.

After a while, she understood what Liu Zheng meant by this, and then laughed and said, "But I don't know you." ”

"It's okay," Liu Zheng said softly, "you can get to know me again." ”

"You said we've met before," Hua Xiangrong asked again, "Where have we met?" ”

"In Yangchuan." Liu Zheng replied to her, "We first met under the willow tree next to Yangchuan Guanyue Lake, you are five years old, and I am eleven years old." You've been missing for nine years. ”

Nine years?

But she only remembered eight years.

Hua Xiangrong asked, "Then you...... Know who I am? I'm asking...... My background. ”

Liu Zheng frowned.

He thought for a while and said, "There is a person by your side, you call her Aunt Luo, you only have your mother, because your father ...... and died before you were born. These are all ...... You told me, and you never mentioned anything else. ”

Hua Xiang was stunned.

She really didn't expect to hear such an answer.

She was only stunned for a moment, then shifted her mind and asked him with a smile, "Why should I believe you?" ”

Liu Zheng looked at her for a long time, and said in a low voice: "You will believe me sooner or later." ”

Hua Xiang was silent.

She did believe him, inexplicably believed him, even if she had said to herself countless times to be wary of him, after all, she was very dangerous now, but she had subconsciously accepted what he said.

She also knew that Liu Zheng's origin was unknown and his purpose was not pure, but she just accepted what he said, she didn't know why, it was very different from when she suspected Xiao Zirang at the beginning. She suspected that Xiao Zirang was suspicious from the inside out, but she suspected that Liu Zheng was forcing herself to doubt.

Maybe it's because I have an impression of him, I know that I've seen him, or maybe it's because what he said seems to be similar to my vague memory.

It's not just similar, it's even made her memory a little clearer.

Hua Xiangrong turned around and walked back again, she had to get out of here now.

Liu Zheng followed her and asked, "What are you looking for here?" ”

"It's nothing," Hua Xiangrong said, "don't follow me, thank you for telling me." ”

After saying this, Hua Xiangrong jumped up the tree with light skills and left quickly.

Liu Zheng didn't chase her.

He stood there and watched her departing back, smiling softly.

Ah Rong, I've been looking for you for nine years.

When Xiao Zirang returned to the inn after the sword meeting, he didn't find Hua Xiangrong's figure, and after looking around, he found that she was leading her horse to the back mountain.

Xiao Zirang approached her and asked, "What did you find?" ”

Hua Xiangrong raised her hand, handed him the dark red tassel, and said, "I want to know how the person who released the dart died." ”

Xiao Zirang took the tassel, smiled faintly, and replied to her: "Suicide by taking poison." ”

"Poisoning yourself again?" Hua Xiangrong frowned.

Xiao Zirang asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Hua Xiangrong had a headache when she thought about it, and said, "Nothing is right." ”

Xiao Zirang lowered his head, looked at the hanging tassel in his hand, and asked, "What did you find?" ”

"I searched within half a mile of where the body was found, and the tassel was found on top of a bush, and there were obvious signs of struggle in the grass next to the tassel." Hua Xiangrong lowered his head, looked at the ground, and said, "So, this person definitely didn't commit suicide." ”

Xiao Zirang was speechless.

After a while, he asked, "What do you think?" ”

Hua Xiangrong's expression darkened a little, and replied, "I suspect that someone rushed ahead of us and killed this person." The man struggled desperately before he died, and ripped off the tassel of the man who had done it. The person who did it had limited time, and after feeding him poison, he dragged the body away, creating the illusion that he had committed suicide by taking poison. ”

"Killing first and then feeding the poison is very different from taking poison and committing suicide, and it makes no sense to promise that you will be wrong about this." Xiao Zirang answered her.

"But all this is too unreasonable," Hua Xiangrong said, "and how to explain what I found and saw?" ”

"The corpse was held by the people of the Eight Great Sword Sects, they didn't want people to know that there were dead people in the Sword Society, and they didn't plan to investigate this matter, after all, it was the person who released the dart that died, and they wouldn't care if it didn't cause any consequences." Xiao Zi gave way.

"I haven't studied the corpse, and I don't know if I see it." Hua Xiangrong said, "At least I can be sure that there were at least two people in the woods yesterday. ”

"Then you can guess," Xiao Zirang laughed, opened his folding fan, and said, "Are these two people in a group, or are they praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches behind?" ”

"If it's a gang, why kill each other?" Hua Xiangrong said, "Since they are all here to kill me, why do you want to kill the other person after releasing a dart?" ”

"It can also be to hide his whereabouts," Xiao Zi conceded, "There are often things, he has already done what he should do, maybe as you said, he knows that he can't kill you like this, but he just wants to use this way to involve you in the Luoyun Mountain Sword Society."

After this person released a dart, their purpose was achieved, and he was worthless. Then kill him, and deceive you with the illusion that you have committed suicide by poisoning, lest you find out about them. ”

Hua Xiangrong thought for a while, and said, "If it's ...... What about the second case? ”

"Then someone could be secretly protecting you." Xiao Zi said, "But if it were me and I wanted to protect you, I definitely wouldn't use this way." Killing this person is cutting off the clues you can continue to investigate, how can you say that? Of course, you can also think that he has a last resort, maybe he can't let you know all this, maybe it's to protect you. ”

"Then I'd rather believe that it's the first one," Hua Xiangrong said, "I don't know what kind of person I am, and it's worth so many people's attention to my heart." I'm really getting more and more curious about my background. ”

Xiao Zirang chuckled and did not answer.

After a long time, Hua Xiangrong thought about it and said, "I saw a person in the woods today. ”

"Who?" Xiao Zirang asked casually.

"The Xuanyi people who have made tricks in Zhengzhou and Nangong." Hua wanted to answer him.

Xiao Zi let the hand holding the fan pause.

Hua Xiangrong said again: "He said that his name is Liu Zheng, and he also said that he knew me nine years ago, and said that when I was five years old, I met him in Yangchuan. ”

Nine years ago, Yangchuan, Chu State.

"Do you remember when you were five years old?" Xiao Zirang asked.

"I didn't remember it, maybe because I was too young at the time." Hua Xiangrong replied.

"But you believe what he says." Xiao Zi gave way.

Hua Xiangrong was stunned for a moment and asked, "How do you know if I believe it or not?" ”

Xiao Zirang laughed and said nothing.

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, Hua Xiangrong sighed before saying, "Maybe it's because he said that I only have my mother and my father has passed away, which is true." Because I only remember my mother, not my father. ”

Xiao Zirang returned the dark red tassel to her and asked, "Then what do you want to do now?" You've been drawn into the sword club, and the rest of the competition ......"

"After the sword meeting is over, I'll go to Yangchuan." Hua Xiangrong said decisively, "I can't give up any clues." ”
