Ninth Symphony

When the five people sat down peacefully again, the atmosphere had completely changed.

dreary house.A person with a divided heart.

Even if there were voices, there was always a lingering silence floating in the air.

Xi Yin's next narration did not contain any personal emotions at all, completely stripping herself out, as if she was telling a story that had nothing to do with her and did not touch her at all.

"Following what I just said, after Ji Mingan took Mom away, someone sent a letter to Dad, in which he wrote the time and place to ask Dad to meet in the code words unique to the Xi family. But before they met, Ji Mingan sent a letter to Dad There was an accident, and someone from the other party found him first, controlled him and robbed his mother at the same time, and that group asked Ji Mingan for the details of the agreement with Dad, and then set up a trap for Dad to fall into the net."

When Du Nian heard something here, he asked, "According to this, the 'true culprit' you have been investigating for the past three years is the leader of this third party? The death of Aunt Yun Shuyun and Ji Mingan's disappearance are all related to him. About him?"

"Who said my dad is missing." Ji Shi suddenly sneered, but his face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost, "My dad is dead, a little earlier than Xi Zhuyun."

Du Nian's eyes froze: "Ji Ming'an is dead?"

Ji Shi looked at him coolly: "I buried him with my own hands, so I can't fake it."

"In this way..." Du Nian didn't complete his sentence. He wanted to say that part of his previous inference would be overturned. Although he was not too convinced about this inference before, he still had some doubts in his heart. Tendency, I hope this is the truth, because if it is not the case, he is afraid that there will be more shocking facts.

At this moment, Xi Yin continued: "I didn't know about this until I met him later." His eyes flicked to Ji Shi, "After combining the existing information, the two of us deduced that my dad went to After seeing the third-party person, he was threatened, and the other party should have used my mother as a hostage to ask my father to meet their conditions, but this condition could not be negotiated, so the other party simply killed them."

Du Nian: "Thinking like this is indeed reasonable, but if the other party's goal is to get something from Uncle Yun in the first place, then why did they deliberately add Ji Ming'an in the middle? What is the purpose?"

"Let me talk about this part." Ji Shi took over the voice. "Actually, there are still many things I haven't figured out until now, but one thing is certain. My dad's escape from prison three years ago was by no means accidental. Someone instigated and assisted him. The intention was to get him to 'revenge' Xi Zhuo after he came out. cloud."

"Is the 'someone' you mentioned the third party?" Wu Yi suddenly said.

Ji Shi gave him a meaningful look, "It should be. At first, this person just wanted to use my dad to deal with Xi Zhuoyun, and didn't want to get his hands dirty, but later found that my dad refused to fully cooperate with him, so he couldn't do it." Not doing it yourself."

Du Nian: "Why doesn't Ji Mingan fully cooperate? He should have a strong motivation."

Ji Shi spread his hands: "I can't say that well. I haven't figured out what the 'old fox' wants in his heart for more than ten years. It is a fact that he wants to deal with Xi Zhuyun, but he never thought of wanting him." It's probably because of the struggle, like the two of us—" Ji Shi glanced at Xi Yin: "—is it Yinzi?"

"Don't talk too far." Xi Yin didn't reply, "The existence of the third party has been confirmed. Xi Le, don't you want to know why I disappeared at that time, let's talk about it now."

Xi Le didn't make a sound, she put one hand on her temple and looked at him.

"After my parents died, I found the letter Ji Mingan sent him in my father's study. I only know part of the code words on it, and there are some others that my father hasn't had time to teach me. I can only study it myself. According to his original Taught my self to try and push until we finally pushed it all on our birthday."

Xi Yin paused at this point, looking at Xi Le as if waiting for his response, but Xi Le just nodded to signal him to continue.

Xi Yin: "After it was launched, I wanted to go to see what was going on. Uncle Du didn't let us go to the scene, saying that he was afraid of giving us more excitement, but I always felt that this matter was not that simple, so I didn't go there in person. It’s not safe to take a look at it. But I also thought at the time that this trip might be dangerous, and more importantly, I was worried about your safety at home—you already know the tradition about the heirs of the Xi family in the ‘circle’, right?” he asked suddenly.

Xie Le hummed.

"It's for this reason that I left a letter asking you to pretend to be me. In this way, in case something happens to me, as long as your status as the 'heir' is there, at least it should be safe before you, not to mention Master Here." Xi Yin glanced at Du Nian, who gave him a clear look.

But at this time Wu Yi suddenly sat up straight and asked: "Xiaoyin, why did you go alone? Why didn't you tell us and let us accompany you? Knowing that there is danger, you still risk yourself. What do you think?"

Only when facing Wu Yi directly did Xi Yin's expression show a trace of indescribable hesitation.Although Wu Yi's attitude towards him was still gentle when he questioned him, without accusations or complaints, Xi Yin still looked a little uncomfortable.

He thought for a while before saying with embarrassment: "I didn't want to involve others, and besides, I couldn't trust others at that time."

Wu Yi's eyes couldn't help but startled: "You don't believe me?"

"It's not that I don't believe you." Xi Yin seemed to think of something, and the blackness in his eyes deepened a bit, and he paused but didn't say anything else.

On the contrary, Du Nian took over the conversation: "Let me speak for you. You don't believe Uncle Wu and my Director Du, right? So you let Lele pretend that you only told Uncle Zhong."

Xi Yin glanced at Xi Le, but didn't get the expected return, so he looked away: "That's right, I don't believe them."

"Why?! Could it be—" Wu Yi quickly realized, his eyes filled with disbelief, "You don't doubt that the leader of this third party is..."

"You suspect that this person is among Uncle Yun's brothers." Du Nian said coldly.

Xi Yin nodded slightly, acquiescing.

Du Nian clenched his fist, rubbed his thumb back and forth on the knuckles of the other four fingers, and said in silence for a moment, "It seems I'm not thinking too much."

"Brother Nian... are you so suspicious...?"

Wu Yi is obviously not able to accept this conjecture, but he knows that Du Nian and Xi Yin can say that there is no basis for it, and if the basis is not reliable enough, the two of them will not make a judgment lightly, and they must have gone through it beforehand. Argued.

Xi Yin saw his entanglements and contradictions, and took the initiative to explain: "Kor Angkor, I don't want to be so suspicious, but many things show that this 'third person' is too familiar with the facts of the Xi family, and some things are just My dad and a few uncles know about it, so I have to think about it. Even if this 'third person' is not one of them, there must be someone very close to the Xi family who is related to this series of things."

"Then you just found out about Uncle Wu?" Du Nian suddenly changed the subject, and his eyes sharpened immediately, "Xi Yin, I have already asked this point directly. Does the murder have anything to do with you?"

"I didn't kill people." Xi Yin replied very simply, especially when he stared at Wu Yi and added: "I didn't kill Uncle Wu."

Hearing these two words, Du Nian and Wu Yi felt relieved for an instant.

They never expected to hear an affirmative answer from him.

"However," Xi Yin made a sudden turn and made several people's hearts rise to their throats. He stared at Wu for a while, then turned his head to the side at an angle, and said in a low voice: "I He watched Uncle Wu being killed with his own eyes."

"...What did you say..." Wu Yi said in a daze.

Xi Yin narrowed his eyes and didn't look at him, "He died right in front of me and was sniped. Because I was in the dark at the time, I wasn't spotted by the sniper, otherwise I probably wouldn't survive. After the accident, Ji Shi and I We quickly searched all possible sniping locations, but the other party cleaned up their tracks very cleanly, leaving nothing behind."

Wu's eyes turned red as soon as he heard it, and he lowered his head slowly.

"Why..." he murmured.

However, no one answered his question.Because some words are hard to say, and they also know that he can figure it out by himself.

To be sniped by someone is like killing someone. Since the other party wants to deceive others, it is to hide something - something related to the death of Xi Zhuoyun and his wife back then.

Xi Yin said that there must be someone who is very familiar with the situation of the Xi family involved in this series of events, and Uncle Wu is very likely to be the candidate.

As Xi Zhuoyun's former good brother, he is also the "queen tuner" of the Xi family for so many years, and he is also the elder who has watched Xi Yin and Xi Le grow up...

He chose to betray.

Even if Wu Yi doesn't want to believe it, he must admit that this is the most likely explanation...

"Then what happened when you got shot?" Du Nian changed the subject at this moment.

Xi Yin hesitated for a moment, and said quickly: "I found the place they agreed on according to the content of the letter, but I was accidentally discovered by the people who stayed there, and I was injured. Fortunately, I was rescued by Ji Shi."

His description was very hasty, and all the details were omitted, obviously unwilling to go into details.

In fact, it’s not impossible to talk about it, but Xi Yin noticed that Xi Le has been silent since just now, and his hands have never left the temple, and he kept pressing and rubbing. She closed her eyes, her brows clustered together, looking quite painful.

Xi Yin glanced at Du Nian, and Du Nian turned to look at Xi Le, took his other hand and asked in a low voice, "Lele, are you okay?"

not good.

Shi Le replied in his heart.

He is not good at all.

From the dull ache in his head just now, it has developed to the point where he has a splitting headache. His temples are throbbing, and he can feel the blackness in front of his eyes even when he closes his eyes.

The feeling similar to the usual convulsions in his body has been suppressed by him for a long time, but it has not weakened in the slightest. He has endured it until now, his limbs are cold, and cold sweat is coming out in layers, adhering between the skin and the material, clammy and cold. The touch like a catalyst made him feel more and more uncomfortable.

"Lele? Lele..."

Du Nian's voice sounded farther and farther away, and Xi Le was still sober at this moment, he thought he couldn't let them see his inhuman appearance, so he held on to the last bit of strength Standing up staggeringly - at least he thought so.

But in the eyes of several other people, what they saw was that he made a movement similar to getting up, but before his butt was completely lifted off the sofa, he fell back again, his face pale as paper.

"Xile!!"

I don't know who called it, but Xi Le couldn't hear it anymore.
