"After that, did something else happen?" Chen Ying asked tentatively.

It stands to reason that the person disposed of Yanliu's body, and the matter was over, and Guo Yuan should have relaxed.

But Guo Yuan became more and more scared, something else should have happened.

Sure enough, I saw that Guo Yuan's face was as white as paper, the fingers that twisted the clothes were almost deformed, and his teeth were fighting: "That person is ...... He came over. ”

She looked somewhere in horror, as if the terrifying footsteps and voices of four years ago were reappearing in her ears.

"I ...... I heard his footsteps, and he was walking towards me, laughing as he went. She trembled her throat and trembled: "He said, 'Don't hide, I see you,' and he said, 'If you hide any longer, you won't be good,' and she said, 'Are you wearing a bell, little girl.'" ”

She was short of breath, her chest was heaving violently, her spasmodic fingers were wrapped around the clothes belt, and she was miserable: "I...... I was so frightened that I lost my soul, and I hurriedly looked down, and then I saw that my crystal bell had been revealed at some point. It was my mother who asked the Buddha for it, and I wore it when I was a child. Original...... Originally, I ...... cough cough cough ......"

She suddenly coughed violently, her face was red and tendons, her forehead was sweating, and she kept swallowing dry with her neck, but she completely forgot that there was hot tea on the desk, and she could drink it to moisten her throat.

Chen Ying didn't bother her and sat upright.

She has also heard the allusion of the crystal bell, when Guo Yuan was bleeding heavily in the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion and was being treated, the subtle chant of "Ding Ding" was still in her ears.

This is not that Chen Ying has a superior memory, but the ringtone is too special, compared to ordinary gold bells and silver bells, it is more clear and clear, and it is unforgettable.

Chen Ying remembered that until Guo Yuan was carried out of the Zhenyuan Marquis's Mansion, the bell rang from time to time, and it never stopped.

In other words, almost half of the nobles in the capital, as well as countless people in various prefectures, have heard this bell.

At this time, Guo Yuan's cough finally stopped.

She gasped hard, and hissed again: "Originally, I wore that crystal bell close to my neck, and I rarely showed it. I guessed that maybe the bell was accidentally exposed during the scuffle with the, but I didn't know it. Then I hid myself behind a miscellaneous tree, where there were already many branches and leaves, and when I touched the bell, it rang. ”

Her voice stopped slightly, and the flush on her face from coughing was quickly replaced by a miserable whiteness: "Because the wind was a little strong that day, and the leaves of the trees were ringing wildly, the bell was buried in this sound, very soft, and I was used to hearing it since I was a child, and I didn't ...... at all I didn't notice it at all, I didn't think that the murderer's ear power was excellent, and I followed the sound...... I found it. ”

Guo Yuan trembled, tightened the belt of his clothes, and his bones turned pale: "I heard...... When I heard the man walking here, I was so scared that I couldn't do it, and I was ...... My mind was empty, I didn't dare to move, I didn't dare to cry, I didn't even dare to breathe, my hands and feet were numb, I wanted to run, but I didn't have any strength in my body, so I squatted in the miscellaneous trees, listening to the footsteps, and approached little by little. ”

"So, did he find you?" Chen Ying asked lightly, interrupting her narrative.

Guo Yuan's emotions are too nervous, and if she continues like this, she is likely to be overly frightened, and modestly suspending the coherence of her emotions is conducive to her stable mind and clear thinking to provide testimony.

Guo Yuan exhaled a long breath and shook his head: "He didn't find me." ”

Obviously, Chen Ying's question relieved her a little, and her heart was slightly calm.

Then, as if to hold on to this thought, she shook her head harder, and her hairpin was messy, but she still didn't know it.

"He didn't notice me." Guo Yuan spoke again, and his tone was very affirmative: "I heard him go all the way to the corner, and when he was about to turn around, suddenly, there was a sound of talking and footsteps behind me, as if there were many people coming, I ...... I was startled, and so was the murderer, and immediately stopped, and then he went back, and the footsteps were so rapid that he could no longer be heard in a short time. ”

"Are those people who suddenly appeared looking for you?" Chen Ying asked.

The soothing tone, if clear Ling Ling water, diffused to his heart.

"No, it's not." Guo Yuan's pale face showed a very weak smile: "It should be a few servants on errands, passing by here, I am afraid that they will see me and reveal my identity." Fortunately, they didn't come and left the other way. ”

She raised a hand and subconsciously stroked it to her chest: "The first thing I thought of at that time was to take off the crystal bell and hold it tightly in my hand so as not to make a sound." ”

Chen Ying narrowed her eyes, and her heart was clear.

If this matter is regarded as a game, then the breaking point of this game is the crystal bell.

Because, the murderer's only knowledge of Guo Yuan is the crystal bell.

"Are you wearing a bell, little girl?"

These are the exact words of the murderer.

From this, it can be seen that he first heard the bell before deducing that Guo Yuan was a "little girl".

Four years ago, the "murderer" heard the bell and chased people, but at the moment before finding out Guo Yuan, he was frightened and fled.

And four years later, in front of the public, the sound of the bell reappeared, and those who heard it did not know themselves, and the "murderer" was likely to be mixed in, so he knew that Guo Yuan was the one who eavesdropped on him back then, so he took the risk of assassination.

After all, the bell is very special, and the murderer has good ear power and quick reaction, killing Yanliu and chasing Guo Yuan, all of them are dominated by him, such a person is naturally impossible to forget the events of the past.

In addition, Chen Yingwei really couldn't think of any other reason to allow them to assassinate them again after four years.

Thinking of this, the corners of her lips twitched slightly, revealing her usual smile.

Who would have thought that a special bell would become an opportunity for an assassination operation after four years.

What's even more coincidental is that this assassination by accident in turn contributed to today's interrogation, which made the truth of that year revealed to the world.

And then, Chen Ying felt strange again.

This inference seems to be missing something.

It's just that while she was thinking about it, Guo Yuan had spoken again.

"When the group of people was far away, I breathed a sigh of relief and sat down on the ground all of a sudden." She seemed to be frightened, raised her hand and wiped the corner of her forehead, her face was still frighteningly white, and she forced a smile: "Really...... What a false alarm. ”

Chen Ying didn't speak.

There was a moment of silence in the room.

Chen Ying heard a faint man's voice outside, as if several forbidden army captains were chatting.

Guo Yuan breathed a sigh of relief again.

Towards the end of the story, her expression was far more relaxed than before: "Then, I waited a little longer, and I heard a woman talking by the lake. It was only then that I realized that it was getting dark, and the feast had dispersed, so the guests came out and walked around, and more and more people were enjoying the scenery by the lake. I thought that with so many women here, the murderer would definitely not dare to come again, and at that time, my hands and feet were ...... I was able to slow down some of my strength. ”
