Chapter 45: Autumn Leaves assassinate Li Yiwei
Li Changci opened the box, and there was a flower lying inside.
"It's... What is it? If it weren't for Li Changci's hand just now, Duan Shilin felt that this person was afraid that he was playing tricks with a flower.
Li Changci pointed to the Soul Eater Flower and said, "This is the prototype of the Soul Eater Flower Demon, and those twelve victims were sucked by it fifteen years ago. ”
Li Changci paused and continued: "In fact, there are more than twelve victims, seventeen years ago, the nineteen girls of Yan Chunlou were also killed by it, if the prince doesn't believe it, you can go to the peach blossom forest outside the city to dig up, maybe you can find their bones." ”
After speaking, Li Changci popped out a spiritual aura towards the Soul Eater Flower, and the Soul Eater Flower turned into a small human form and floated in the air, and when the aura was small, it turned into a flower again and fell in the box.
Seeing such a scene, Yin Shilin and Chu Lingshu's eyes widened a little, this was the first time in their lives that they had really seen the appearance of a demon.
Hearing that there were still nineteen victims, Duan Wang's eyes were full of anger as he looked at the Soul Eater Flower.
At the feet of the Son of Heaven, there was a monster that killed more than 30 people, and this demon must not be forgiven.
But to say in front of the emperor that the murderer is a flower, Yin Shilin has no way to speak.
So, Yin Shilin said to Li Chang: "This matter is a little tricky, if it is really this demon's doing, but now that it has been beaten back to the prototype by you, it can't be interrogated, there will be no testimony, and the matter can't be decided." ”
Regarding Yin Shilin's question just now, Li Changci nodded and said: "The demon is under our control, but one of the demons' accomplices is a human being, and it can be handed over to the prince at that time." ”
Yin Shilin's brows furrowed slightly, as if he had doubts about the other party's words: "Why can't you arrest that person and interrogate him now?" ”
Li Changqi said lightly: "I need that person to lure out another demon." ”
Duan Shilin's expression became serious, as if he was thinking about an important issue.
After a long time, Duan Shilin agreed to Li Changci's proposal, and after Li Changci ambushed the other demon, he would arrest Qiu Ye.
Duan Shilin brought Li Changci into the study and showed her the transcript of the case that year.
The twelve people who died that year were all at the beginning of the year, which happened to be the time when Qin Wanfei gave birth to Li Xinyu.
Perhaps it was because of Hongying's unexpected departure seventeen years ago, which caused Qin Wanfei's body to have a legacy, and when she gave birth to Li Xinyu, her demonic power recurred again, and she had to continue to eat people's hearts until she was out of confinement.
But there is one thing Li Changci can't understand, Qin Wanfei no longer has the memory of being a demon at that time, how did he eat those twelve hearts?
After getting the answer he wanted, Li Changqi said goodbye to Duan Shilin and Chu Lingshu, never thinking that a major incident had happened in the Li Mansion.
At noon today, Autumn Leaves came to see Li Yiwei in the name of Qin Wanfei, when Li Yiwei was reading a book in the study, and thought that Qin Wanfei had finally relented and asked Autumn Leaves to come and invite him.
As a result, he didn't pay attention to it, and was attacked by Qiu Ye from behind, but fortunately, Li Yiwei often exercises on weekdays, and he was not stabbed in the chest by the boning knife after quickly dodging, but there was a big wound on his arm.
Li Yiwei hurriedly covered the place on his hand with his other hand, and said angrily to Qiu Ye: "You damn maid, what are you doing!" ”
Seeing that he was unsuccessful once, Qiu Ye raised his knife and swung it at Li Yiwei again, but Li Yiwei was on guard and kicked Qiu Ye's abdomen, and Qiu Ye fell to the ground instantly after receiving a blow, unable to get up for a long time.
Li Yiwei fled from the study in a hurry, called for the guards to catch Autumn Leaves, and hurriedly asked the doctor to come and bandage the wound.
After Li Chang came back, he happened to catch up with Li Yiwei and Qin Wanfei to interrogate Qiuye in Qixia Garden, and Li Changhuai and Li Xinyu were invited by the three princes to go out of the house to play.
And when Li Yiwei and the guards pressed the autumn leaves into Qixia Garden, Qin Wanfei didn't know what was going on.
When she knew that Qiu Ye actually wanted to assassinate Li Yiwei, Qin Wanfei was a little stunned at first, and then looked at Qiu Ye in disbelief, screaming and asking Qiu Ye why.
Akiba's eyes were full of madness, and his mouth shouted, "I'll help you kill him, and you're willing to go with me." ”
And Qin Wanfei was afraid that Li Yiwei would misunderstand that she instructed Qiu Ye to do such a thing, so she hurriedly ran to Li Yiwei, pulled her sleeves and cried: "Wei Lang, you have to believe me, I really don't know about this." ”
Looking at Qin Wanfei's aggrieved eyes, the anger in Li Yiwei's heart decreased slightly, but he didn't plan to let Qiu Ye go, but let Qin Wanfei stand aside and interrogate him personally.
But no matter how strict Li Yiwei asked, even if Qiu Ye had many more wounds on his body, Qin Wanfei couldn't bear to plead with Li Yiwei in his heart, Qiu Ye always just said: Kill him, and we can be together forever.
It was at this time that Li Changci walked into the room, and before Li Yiwei and Qin Wanfei could react, Li Changci asked all the guards to go out.
Li Yiwei was angry, and said angrily at Li Changci: "Who let you break into Qixia Garden at will, order the guards of the Li Mansion at will, and don't let me go back and stay well." ”
But Li Changci didn't eat Li Yiwei's set, raised his eyes and glanced at Li Yiwei, which suddenly made Li Yiwei feel a kind of coercion: "You have been interrogating for so long, have you asked something?" Why don't I ask for you? ”
Li Yiwei's jaw tightened, just now shocked by Li Changci's eyes, and reminded him of his uncle's grandfather's words, Li Changci is a cultivator after all, although he is her biological father, but his feelings are not deep, or he is no different from people outside in her eyes, if she wants to do something, she really can't stop it.
After figuring it out, Li Yiwei commanded with a calm face: "You all go down." ”
Seeing Qin Wanfei crying on the side, he said impatiently to Qin Wanfei: "You go out too." ”
But Li Changci said on the side: "She stays." ”
Li Yiwei choked in his throat, glanced at Li Changci, and found that she had a calm and confident expression, so he could only change his words: "Then you can stay." ”
After speaking, he didn't open his mouth again, wanting to see how Li Changci would interrogate.
Li Changci walked up to Autumn Leaves and asked Autumn Leaves, who were kneeling on the ground: "Is it worth it for you to do this?" ”
Qiu Ye slowly raised his head, and his eyes were also full of hatred when he looked at Li Changci, if Li Yiwei was the source, then this Li Changci was the fuse, if it weren't for her, the soul devouring would not have struck again, and he would not have been injured.
But Akiba didn't want to say anything at this time, and lowered her head again.
Li Yiwei sneered in his heart, it seems that Li Changci didn't ask anything.
Li Changci was not annoyed, took out something from his sleeve and threw it into Qiu Ye's arms.
Autumn leaves saw that the thing in her arms was a flower, but this flower was extremely familiar, the emotions in her eyes shook violently, she couldn't help but tremble, her face instantly turned pale, she struggled to get up from the ground, and asked Li Changci in a hoarse voice: "What happened to you to devour the soul!" ”
No matter how Qiu Ye screamed and shouted, Li Changci remained silent until Qiu Ye gave up struggling and hugged the soul devouring flower tightly, disheartened.
At this time, Li Changqi said: "At the beginning, you killed so many people's lives for selfish desires, but now it is just karma. ”
Akiba said in a hoarse voice of despair, "Yes, Soul Eater has said this kind of thing more than once, but he did it anyway. ”
"Is it worth it? She doesn't remember you at all. ”
Autumn leaves stroked the petals of the Soul Eater Flower and muttered to herself: "It's all our fault, we take the friendship back then too seriously, Soul Eater, I regret it, I really regret it." ”
Li Yiwei and Qin Wanfei, who were on the side, listened to the conversation between the two inexplicably, but Qin Wanfei faintly felt in her heart that the words spoken by the two were related, and she felt the urge to cry when she saw the flower just now.
Li Yiwei hid the doubts in his heart, cheered up, and told him that the things that the two of them talked about were not trivial.
