Just remember

Jin Liyun's words caused an uproar among the quacks who had already recovered from the shock of Xia Houfu being the murderer.Not only because these words made the matter that was about to come to light once again clouded with suspicion, but also because Jin Liyun, as a girl who had not left the court, took the initiative to admit that she had spent the night with the man. eyesight.

The onlookers are happy to watch the play, but those in the game are not in such a leisurely mood.

The moment Jin Liyun walked out, Chun Jinran had a bad premonition, but the other party's movements were too fast, so fast that there was no time for him to react, so that at this moment, his head was still in a mess. confusion.Countless questions are running amok like tangled threads.He knew that there must be a thread, the most critical point that could solve all the mysteries, but right now, he couldn't find it at all.

"Chun Shaoxia," Xiahou Zhengnan's voice brought Chun Jinran back to reality, "Everyone is waiting for you to speak."

"I'm sorry," Chun Jinran finally said, with a faint but calm smile, "Miss Jin's words are really surprising, and I really want to know what's going on."

Chun Jinran's unexpected composure made his friends who cared about him and the quacks who were waiting to see him make a fool of themselves turn their attention back to Jin Liyun.

Only, Pei Xiaoyi was an exception.

In fact, the man also wanted to see which play Jin Liyun was going to sing, but at the moment when he was about to avert his gaze, he caught a glimpse of Chun Jinran's hand.The hands hanging on the sides of the body were originally tightly clenched, but after the other party finished speaking, the hands gradually loosened. On the surface, it seemed that the other party was more relaxed than before, but if you look closely, the hands that loosened their fists are actually It was trembling slightly.

That guy is not calm at all!

Pei Xiaoyi frowned unconsciously, did he not find anything wrong with Jin Liyun during the investigation?Or, what Jin Liyun said was a lie, the so-called tryst at night didn't exist at all?But why did Jin Liyun lie?What is the relationship between her and Xia Houfu...

Heh, I, a person who doesn't look up and sees down, doesn't know anything about it, so it's no wonder that guy is confused.Therefore, it is enough to clear one's suspicion. If you have to force yourself to investigate the case, this is called self-inflicted crime.

But it was Chun Jinran who did the killing, why was he so restless!

Just when Pei Xiaoyi was in a mess, Jin Liyun over there had already begun to answer Chun Jinran's words: "Liyun also knew that this was a scandal, so I originally wanted to hide it, but you just insisted that Mr. Xiahou It's the murderer, if I don't stand up and prove Mr. Xiahou's innocence, I will feel uneasy for the rest of my life."

"It seems that Miss Jin is not only beautiful, but her heart is also pure and kind." Chun Jinran raised the corners of her lips and stared at Jin Liyun meaningfully.

"Chun Shaoxia don't make jokes about Li Yun." Jin Liyun met his gaze with a gentle expression and a natural tone, as if nothing had happened between them, "The thing is like this..."

The story of Jin Liyun is actually a clichéd story of an infatuated girl chasing a ruthless man.In this story, both women are infatuated, and the only man is naturally flirtatious.The difference is that when Nie Shuang learned that her lover was going to get married, she cried and tried to persuade her lover to change his mind, but Jin Liyun generously sent her blessings, and the only thing she asked for was one last spring night.With Nie Shuang's comparison, Jin Liyun's understanding and gentleness are like spring breeze, so the man satisfied her without hesitation, and also brought this romantic relationship to a perfect end.

Chun Jinran is not interested in Jin Liyun's lingering love thoughts. He knows that there will always be such a story, which may make people feel a lot of emotion, or make people cry. After all, it is to give her "testimony" infinite fullness.What he was interested in was how many people had anticipated this story, or how many accomplices there were in this "turning" bureau.

However he was disappointed.

First of all, Mrs. Jin, although she tried her best to hide it, her pulsating forehead, sullen eyes, and fingertips that were slightly whitened from the armrest of the chair were all quite different from the sarcastic opera woman before.This shows that what Jin Liyun did was not what she expected, and she doesn't like it very much.

Then Xiahou Zhengnan, the seriousness in the old man's expression has dissipated. Although it seems that he still has criticisms about Jin Liyun's "story", compared to "the son is a murderer", this not-so-pleasant affair seems to be not so difficult accept.The obvious change in attitude before and after showed that he didn't know it either.

Then there was Mrs. Kuyi, although the possibility was very slim, just in case, Chun Jinran still included her as a suspect.However, she is the one who doesn't hide her feelings the least, from the shock when she first heard that Xia Houfu was the murderer, to the anger when she heard her reasoning about the killing process, to the confusion after Jin Liyun came out, and now "the murderer is gone again" The grief and disappointment, every emotion is clear and clear, whether it is on the face or the bottom of the eyes.

The last is Xiahou Fu.Chun Jinran thought that even if the people above were not accomplices, Xia Houfu would definitely not be able to escape.But the unbelievable expression on the man's face was not less than that of the crowd watching, and then as Jin Liyun narrated, this abnormal expression gradually dissipated, and finally became relieved.

Yes, everyone will be relieved to have a time witness, even if the witness appears inexplicably.

perjury.

It's almost a no-brainer.

But what Chun Jinran didn't understand was that if Jin Liyun had made up his mind to testify for Xia Houfu early on, why would he still reveal the inside story of the small courtyard to himself?If it weren't for her vivid description, it would be impossible for him to use the trick of "replaying the dialogue" to force Xia Houfu to admit that he had seen Nie Shuang, let alone find the jade pendant in the small courtyard.Without these, he might not be able to scare Xia Houfu at all, let alone win the bet!

So, what is the motivation?What is Jin Liyun going to such lengths for?

This side of Chun Jin is still puzzled, but the story of that side of Jin Liyun has been told.All the quacks in the audience understood it, no matter the truth or not, anyway, this girl is determined to save her sweetheart, and this move naturally won the favor of Xiahou Zhuangzhu, who was burned out by the unscrupulous son. , the old man even became brisk again——

"Master Kuyi, this old man is not a man of favoritism. It is a fact that Fu'er failed his other apprentice. It is my father's fault if I raise him or not. If you want to punish this unworthy son, this old man will never stop you. If you have other requests, feel free to mention them, and Xiahou Villa will definitely make full compensation."

Mrs. Kuyi twitched the corners of her mouth, and the bitterness in her cold smile could not be concealed: "Master Xiahou is serious. If you say that there is no way to discipline, then why not the poor nun. Death is like a lamp going out, and the love in life is fine." , Resentment, let it go.”

Xia Houzhengnan nodded quickly, happily borrowing the slope to get off the donkey: "What the teacher said is very true."

"But murder pays for life," Master Kuyi suddenly changed the subject, with a fierce look in his eyes, "Murderer, he can't live."

Xiahou Zhengnan raised his eyebrows with interest: "Where is the murderer?"

Master Kuyi looked at him fixedly: "Why did the owner ask the poor nun? Shouldn't this be Xiahou Villa's explanation to the Xuanmiao sect?"

Xiahou Zhengnan was choked for a moment, and then laughed: "Yes, yes, look at my memory." After laughing enough, he turned to Chun Jinran, and said in a leisurely manner, "Young Xia Chun, the teacher asked me to explain, but I can I'm going to ask you for it."

Chun Jinran didn't move, and said naturally, "Didn't I give it to the owner?"

All the knights in the audience gasped, shit, this is a big death!

Xiahou Zhengnan's face darkened: "You wronged Fu'er, the old man thinks that you are eager to investigate the case and don't care about it. Why, are you going to hold on to it?"

Chun Jinran retorted in the same tone: "Mr. Xiahou had an affair with Nie Shuang. The evidence is conclusive. The evidence that he met and quarreled with Nie Shuang on the night of Nie Shuang's murder is also conclusive. Why, just relying on Miss Jin's one-sided words to make her Overthrow all of these?"

Xiahou Zhengnan narrowed his eyes, and was really angry for the first time: "What you said, is there any evidence that Fu'er killed someone?"

Chun Jinran raised his head: "Jin Liyun said that she was with Xia Houfu, what evidence is there?"

The onlookers didn't even dare to gasp. This is not touching the tiger's butt, this is fucking kicking!

Xiahou Zhengnan's voice was terribly low: "Chun Jinran, you are bold."

Chun Jinran went all out: "The owner asked me to investigate."

"If you don't check well, you should die."

"How is it bad?"

"There is no ironclad evidence."

"Then I will continue to investigate."

"The old man gave you a chance, but you wasted it yourself."

"I remember the owner said before dawn."

"..."

"I'm sorry, but I seem to have a little chance left."

The midnight has passed, and there are still two hours before dawn.

Two hours is not long, and a sleep is a matter of opening and closing eyes, and it is not short, just sitting dry is like a year.So after Mrs. Jin was the first to break the silence and went back to her room to rest on the grounds that she was unwell, Master Kuyi also left the stage, and then all the heads followed suit. The small sect, also because they couldn't bear the pressure of facing the big Buddha on the main seat who seemed to be angry at any time, sneaked away against the wall.In the end, only Xiahou and his son were left in the main hall.

"Father..." Xia Houfu called out timidly.

This blow finally caused Xiahou Zhengnan to explode completely: "Go back to the room—"

Xia Houfu originally wanted to leave, but after being yelled at like this, he simply omitted the boy's resignation, and disappeared in a flash.

In the huge main hall, there was only an old man who suddenly fell silent, and an empty chair that was crooked.

In the back room separated by several walls, Chun Jinran had just completed his second survey.

Then, he sat down on the ground dejectedly.

With nothing new to discover, this was his last chance and it turned out to be a disappointment.No, it should be despair.Chun Jinran pinched his face hard, it was so good, it hurt so hot.After more than an hour, I guess I won't even have a chance to think about pain.

Not knowing what those people in the main hall were doing, Chun Jinran leaned on the leg of the table, thinking boredly.Most of them should be drinking tea and watching the theater, how happy, the happiest thing in the world is to join in the fun without any burden.I could do it myself, but unfortunately, I didn't choose the right path.Do you regret it?More or less.After all, the good times are about to turn sharply downwards. If it is not good enough, it will die, and if it is good, it will have to go to Buddhism. His daughter of Zhuyeqing, red and yellow wine, Fenjiu, sweet-scented osmanthus... is lost in this life, how sad it is!

pat.

A small stone fell to Chun Jinran's feet.

Because Nie Shuang's body had been kept in the room, the smell was too bad, so the windows were kept open for ventilation.Obviously, the stone was thrown in from the window.

Puzzled, Chun Jinran got up, walked slowly to the window, just about to poke her head out to look, when she heard a deliberately low voice above her head: "Stand still."

Chun Jinran obediently stared at the front without moving, except for his mouth: "I always thought that the land on the roof belonged to me."

"I'm still in the mood to joke, it seems that I have found new evidence."

"No."

"..."

"By the way, the main hall is full of everyone's eyes, so it's okay for you to sneak over like this?"

"There is no one in the main hall."

"What about people?"

"It's been a long night, of course it's going back to the room to sleep."

"Who said that, I never sleep in the long night."

"Thus the reincarnation of heaven, those souls who have been harassed by you are here for collective revenge."

"Pei Shaoxia, I'm picking flowers, not killing... Bah, no, I'm not even picking flowers. I'm a visiting friend, with a conscience of heaven and earth, pure and clean!"

"You call me by my first name or last name again, and I'll leave."

"Okay, okay, I know you're cautious," Chun Jinran kept looking at the bright moon in the sky while he was speaking. I wondered if he had been staring at the bright moon for too long, but someone's face seemed to be gradually reflected on the disk, even the corners of the eyes and eyebrows. Disgusting people are vivid, "So you, who are always cautious, came to me at the risk of being discovered, it must be very important... Wait a minute," Chun Jinran's eyes lit up, "Do you have any clues to give me? !"

"Not at all." The man who only heard his voice but didn't see his face almost didn't think about it.

Chun Jin ran a black line, and his voice couldn't hide his loss: "Then what are you doing here?"

The person lying on the roof was silent for a while before saying, "I'll give you a ride."

"...Why you?" Chun Jinran heard her voice trembling.

The person in the room seemed unhappy: "Then who do you want?"

Chun Jinran lowered her eyes, and her suppressed voice became smaller and more dull: "Anyone is fine, just... don't be friends."

Pei Xiaoyi reflexively wanted to say who is your friend, but in this situation, he felt that this sentence was hypocritical, so he simply omitted it and said the main point directly: "You don't need friends to escort you, but you still need enemies? Your way of thinking is too special gone."

Chun Jinran who was standing at the window was stunned: "Escape?"

Pei Xiaoyi who was lying on the roof was also stunned: "What else?"

Chun Jinran: "I thought you were ordered to kill me..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "How did you think it came out..."

Chun Jinran: "You said you wanted to give me a ride."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Just to give you a ride."

Chun Jinran: "Come down, let's have a good talk."
