Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sending Charcoal in the Snow
"But...... Why would someone want to attack you?" Xinyun looked at Jiang Xiao curiously: "Have you offended anyone?"
Jiang Xiao hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether it was time to tell Xinyun and Pang, but he saw Lao Hua's eyes light up from the corner of his eye, and nodded slightly. His heart moved, and he said, "Because...... Someone wants to get something, and the way to get that thing was only known to me before......"
"What?seeds?!"
After listening to Jiang Xiao's general explanation of a series of recent events, Xinyun's big round eyes widened, and she looked at Jiang Xiao in surprise: "You...... Are you really......? Does it really exist?"
"How do I know!" Jiang Xiao snorted angrily: "It's just that Ziyan told me that the location information of the seed is in the computer room of that middle school." Not to mention the seeds, I haven't even looked for that information, how do I know if it's true or not?"
"Hehe, if you say that, aren't you very wronged?" Xinyun grinned: "Hmm...... I can understand how you're feeling right now. Something that has nothing to do with you is forcibly involved in it, and there is no way to argue and have nowhere to explain. ”
"Yes. Jiang Xiao sighed: "So now, I just hope that all the awakened people, no matter who they are, will not come to me again." Now that I have already conveyed Ziyan's last words to the people of the academy, no matter how much fight they have between them in the future, it has nothing to do with me. ”
Xinyun didn't respond immediately this time, but frowned and thought hard. After a long time, he said slowly: "You...... Tell me what happened before, and don't let go of a detail. ”
"What's wrong?" Jiang Xiao didn't understand what Xinyun was wondering about, but he still told Xinyun everything that had happened from the time he met Ziyan to the present day, and he was more detailed than before.
When Jiang Xiao was telling, Xinyun was holding a pair of chopsticks and eating the dishes on the plate in front of him without taking a bite. Until Jiang Xiao finished speaking, her frowning little brow still did not let go.
"You...... Take two bites first, and I'll have to think again. Xinyun waved her hand at Jiang Xiao, pointed to the dishes in front of her, and then simply closed her eyes, muttering something to herself.
Jiang Xiao nodded, took a clip of the eel paste in front of the chopsticks, and as soon as he entered it, his eyes widened.
As soon as the umami touched the tip of the tongue, it spread wildly throughout the mouth like an atomic bomb, and it was impossible to control it. In Jiang Xiao's life, he has never tasted even the slightest dish that can be compared with it.
Lao Hua's cooking skills are not inferior to winemaking!!
But......
"Why do you obviously cook good dishes, but the snacks in the store usually only have those edamame peanuts?" Jiang Xiao looked at Lao Hua.
Lao Hua raised his eyelids, looked at Xinyun, and then looked at Jiang Xiao, but did not speak.
But Jiang Xiao read the answer from Lao Hua's eyes-
Because except for Xinyun, you are not worthy of me to cook for you.
Jiang Xiao couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart.
It seems that Xinyun's status among the awakened is really very high.
"Jiang Xiao, are you sure that the damage you did to that warrior awakened person named Li Qin that day was not fatal?" Xin Yun finally finished her contemplation and opened her eyes to Jiang Xiao and asked.
Jiang Xiao nodded affirmatively and said without hesitation: "I'm sure." His appearance before death could never have been caused by external forces. Flushed face, breathless, loss of control, and ...... His broken heart. ”
"Well, you and I have come to the same conclusion, that is, he ...... It was killed by someone else. Right?"
"That's right. Jiang Xiao nodded.
Xinyun stretched out her slender little hand, knocked on the table, and stared at Jiang Xiao: "But have you ever wondered who is the person who killed Li Qin?"
Jiang Xiao sighed: "Of course I thought about it, but ...... I know only a few awakened people, how can I think of them?"
Xinyun shook her head slowly and said softly, "That's not necessarily. I have just thought about the whole process you described in my mind, but I feel that there is one person who is the most suspicious. ”
Jiang Xiao's heart suddenly jumped.
Among the awakened ones he knew, Purple Smoke Dark Flame was dead, Lao Hua was on the other side, and Xinyun himself had just met. Beyond that, isn't that all that's left......
"Could it be that you are talking about ......" Jiang Xiao said in a deep voice: "Ochre jade?"
Xinyun's gaze revealed maturity and wisdom that were completely incommensurate with his face: "That's right. That's him!"
"So......" Jiang Xiao thought for a while: "What is your basis?"
"You mentioned that Li Qin has a monitor on his body, and the effective distance is not far away. In other words, there is a person who has been not far away, listening to your conversation. Considering that it is unlikely that a third party will suddenly pass by, on a whim, and the extremely unlikely possibility of killing Li Qin and then drifting away without saying hello to you, then there is a chance that Li Qin died at the hands of that person. ”
"So, since that person ordered Li Qin to torture you, and he still has the ability to kill Li Qin without showing up, then why didn't he come to you directly? And why, do you want to kill Li Qin afterwards, instead of killing you, and save Li Qin's life?
"That's right. Jiang Xiao nodded: "But...... This doesn't seem to be enough to deduce that the person behind Li Qin is Ochre Yu, right?"
"So far, not yet. But there is a more important point, and that is...... The way Li Qin asked questions was very strange. Xinyun shook his head and said, "He didn't ask you Ziyan's last words at the beginning, but at the last moment, he asked that question." And by then, he had already been defeated by you. ”
Jiang Xiao thought for a while, nodded slowly, and said, "So, what do you think this means?"
Xinyun ran her fingers around her hair and said slowly, "This may mean...... He...... Or more precisely, the person behind him is not trying to get an 'unknown answer', but trying to verify that a 'known answer' is correct. ”
Jiang Xiao was taken aback. Xinyun's speculation can really be confirmed with the facts!
"If it is really as Li Qin said, he is the remnant of the dark flame, then these doubts above, even if they cannot be completely reasonably explained. But if we assume that he was sent by Ochre, everything seems to be perfectly compatible. So, my inference is...... Although Zheyu had you tell Ziyan's last words, he didn't fully trust you, so he used Li Qin as a bait to force you into a desperate situation and get an answer again. Xinyun's eyes were shining and scorching.
"However, why doesn't Zheyu trust me? Since I have already relayed Ziyan's last words to him, then ......" Jiang Xiao was halfway through speaking, when he suddenly paused his words, and a chill suddenly rose behind him: "Could it be ......?"
"That's right. Xinyun nodded heavily: "Zheyu didn't find what he wanted from that location!"
"Damn it!"
Jiang Xiao picked up the wine glass from the table, raised his head and poured the wine into his throat, and then poured himself three glasses in a row, but the shock in his heart was not suppressed in the slightest.
This time, it's really a big headache.
Before that, he had always believed that as long as that information was relayed to Ochre, he would be able to keep himself out of the matter.
After being attacked by Li Qin, he just felt that if the news spread again, no one would come to chase him and ask him.
But it wasn't until this moment that Jiang Xiao deeply realized how serious the problem he was facing!
There is no seed information in that computer!
This also means that no one will believe Jiang Xiao's words!
Everyone would have thought that Jiang Xiao had concealed Ziyan's true last words! And after that, all the awakened people who wanted to get the seeds would flock to Jiang Xiao like sharks that smelled blood!
And Jiang Xiao, who is in the center of this whirlpool, will undoubtedly be torn to pieces by this group of sharks!
Even Jiang Xiao, who is rational on weekdays, deeply feels the breath of fear at this moment.
"Scared?" Xinyun grinned and looked at Jiang Xiao with her cheeks in her hands: "Now you know how dangerous your situation is, right?"
"yes...... When encountering this kind of thing, who can not be afraid?" Jiang Xiao let out a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile.
"So, what are you going to do next?" Xinyun still had a smile on her face, "How are you going to get yourself out of this vortex?"
Jiang Xiao raised his eyes and looked at Xinyun, but did not speak immediately. The eyes of the two met in front of them for a long time, but Jiang Xiao suddenly laughed.
He smiled merrily, and seemed to have no sorrow at all.
"What are you laughing at?" Xinyun's face was not surprised, but an expression of interest.
"Because suddenly I'm not worried. Jiang Xiao shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Because of your appearance." ”
"My appearance?" Xinyun tilted her head: "It's your business, and it has nothing to do with me." Why do you think I'm going to meddle?"
"I don't know. Jiang Xiao shook his head calmly: "I don't know the reason why you will interfere, I only know that if you don't have this kind of plan, you won't leave me here, listen to me tell me the whole thing, and then analyze it carefully for me." At least, you're interested. And what is the starting point of this interest, I don't know, and I don't need to know. So, next, I'm going to listen to you. ”
"So confident?"
"It's so confident. Jiang Xiao nodded emphatically.
"Okay!" Xinyun suddenly stretched out her hand and slapped the table heavily, and her childish face suddenly gave birth to a sense of pride: "Whether it is Meng or not, at least, you are right." I'm going to help you. ”
"Thank you. Jiang Xiao nodded indifferently.
"So, let me tell you what you need to do now!"
