Just remember

Of course Pei Xiaoyi didn't come down, and Chun Jinran just said that.At such a sensitive time, anyone involved with him will not feel very comfortable, not to mention that the person on the roof has secrets that need to be concealed, so he must be more cautious in his actions.

"Run away, it's not so easy," Chun Jinran sighed inaudibly, "but I still have to thank you. Then I have to apologize to you, I didn't expect you to really treat me as a friend Always secretly scolding and slandering you behind your back, although you are really difficult to get along with and have a weird personality... Forget it, anyway, from now on, we are brothers!"

"You've talked a lot..." Pei Xiaoyi regretted coming over.Although he looked indifferent on the surface, his determination to send Chun Jinran away was actually a dead end for him.Turning around, Mrs. Jin asked why you went there just now, how should he explain?He was bumped into by someone during the escort, how would he get rid of it?None of these questions have answers.But he still came, as if bewitched.In the end, he had to struggle a lot before accepting it reluctantly. What was he trying to do!

"Big Pei."

"..." Uh, is it a hallucination, as if I heard something weird.

"Da Pei." The person in the lower window repeated it again, and was quite satisfied, "I'll call you that from now on, dear."

Pei Xiaoyi tightly grabbed the tiles on the eaves of the house, and fell into a huge struggle whether to throw a piece down and kill the opponent, or simply throw a handful to make the opponent disappear in ashes.

"You will call me Jinran from now on." After Chun Shaoxia named others, he did not miss himself.

Pei Xiaoyi resisted the beating in his chest, and kept a graceful smile: "Why not Dachun?"

Chun Jinran: "It doesn't sound good."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Then Xiaochun."

Chun Jinran: "It's even worse, like your follower."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Xiaochunzi."

Chun Jinran: "Just Xiaochun, it's pretty good, really."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Well, I think so too, obviously dear."

Chun Jinran: "...Da Pei."

Pei Xiaoyi: "...What are you doing, Xiaochun?"

Chun Jinran: "Will our friendship be short-lived?"

Pei Xiaoyi: "After an hour and a half, we will know."

Chun Jinran: "If I die, our friendship will last forever."

Pei Xiaoyi: "I can't die."

Chun Jinran: "It will break eight hundred times a day!"

The two young heroes who finally met their true feelings in the adversity, after expressing their hearts to each other across the air, finally began to talk about serious business——

"Have you thought about it? Time waits for no one. If you want to run, you should run as soon as possible. Otherwise, even if Xiahou Zhengnan wants to let you go, those who watch the excitement will not give you a chance."

"Xiahou Zhengnan wants to let me go? How is this possible! Not only did I identify his son as the murderer, but I also scolded him in public without saving any face. Let me go? It's almost as good as leaving me in ashes."

"I beg you, just a little bit, you can deduce that your brain is in the world when you solve the case, will it work?"

"...Da Pei, I don't like people calling me stupid."

"Especially when that person is right."

"I hate you."

Chun Jinran pursed her lips sadly, but at the same time, she also understood what Pei Xiaoyi meant.

If he doesn't leave, the murderer will not be known when dawn arrives, and if he is not effective in handling the case, Xiahou Zhengnan can of course punish him or even say that he is the murderer, and then kill him to silence him.But this kind of explanation can only barely save face, the Mysterious School will not really let it go, and all the quacks are also like a mirror in their hearts, he Chun Jinran is a scapegoat, everyone does not say anything in front of them, but they inevitably talk and ridicule behind their backs; If he escaped, it would really be absconding in fear of crime, and after killing Nie Shuang, he tried to frame Mr. Xiahou. There is no more.Whether he is caught or not, it doesn't matter to Xia Houzhengnan. If he is caught, everyone is happy. If he is not caught, he has already "done his best." Mrs. Kuyi can't say anything anymore. The focus will only be on Chunjinran, not Xiahou Villa.As for the young hero Chun who can only wander about hiding his head and shrinking his tail for the rest of his life, I'm sorry, but it's not in Master Xiahou's consideration.

"Tell me," Chun Jinran asked suddenly, "If I shave my head, will it still look good?"

Pei Xiaoyi didn't know why, but still told the truth: "What you should ask is whether you can still watch it."

Chun Jinran smiled, and then said flatly, "I won't run."

Pei Xiaoyi frowned, and did not agree with this choice that was clearly fatal: "If you run away, you will still have a chance. If you don't run away, you will be a dead fish caught in the fire at the city gate."

"I'm not a murderer." Chun Jinran said.

Pei Xiaoyi's black line: "Of course I know."

"But I must catch the murderer."

"..."

"No, it will."

Chun Jinran shook his head, letting all the messy thoughts, clues, events, witnesses, etc. that were tangled into a mess be cleared from his head, and then took a few deep breaths to calm down again.

Pei Xiaoyi stopped talking.He didn't approve of Chun Jinran's actions, but felt the other party's determination in an incredible way.It was not stubborn persistence or persistence, but another, more special kind of belief. He couldn't tell what it was, but he only knew that this belief made Chun Jinran exude a kind of quality from the inside out, clear and warm, Soft and firm, people can't help but want to get close and protect.

Those people must have felt the same way.The figures that continuously flashed in his head made Pei Xiaoyi frown deeply——Qingfeng, Fang Shulu, Hang Mingjun who were the guarantors, Bailang who was willing to take him into the villa, and Dingchen who was investigating the case with him, although he didn't find a chance Qi Wanguan, who spoke out but was definitely willing to support him, and the young man who secretly spoke to him in the dark flower building, seemed to be called Ge Shiqi.

Flower thief?hehe.This is a fucking oiran!

Chun Shaoxia, who had already begun to think again inside the window, did not feel the fluctuations on the roof at all. His eyes were looking at the dark night outside, but his mind was immersed in the concentration of reviewing the context of the incident.Nie Shuang, Jin Liyun, Xiahou Fu.In this case, there were only three people involved.Nie Shuang was dead, Xiahoufu confessed to the meeting in the small courtyard, but denied the murder, and then Jin Liyun stood up and became a time witness for Xiahoufu.But Xia Houfu's expression showed that he didn't know about it, not only him, but also Xiahou Zhengnan, Mrs. Kuyi and Mrs. Jin didn't know about it. In other words, it was Jin Liyun's own initiative to testify.Her testimony turned Xia Houfu's situation from passive to active, and completely overturned her own inferences. It was simply a single move to defeat the enemy... Therefore, she is also the only breakthrough in the current predicament!

Jin Liyun's motives are already clear, she likes Xiahoufu, and may even ruin Xiahoufu's marriage because of this incident, and turn to be responsible to her.Then the next thing that needs to be clarified is what role she played in this matter.Was it just a perjury...

No.

Chun Jinran narrowed her eyes suddenly, she was the one who was wronged at first, and she was the one who immediately stood up and said that it would be best to have a second inspection!

Has the layout already started at that time?

If this is the case, why does she think that she can investigate Xia Houfu, and why does she conclude that she has a chance to stand up and complete her plan of "beauty saves heroes" when she identifies it?

No, she couldn't be sure, she was also gambling, so when she was going to find Xiahou Zhengnan and was stopped by her, she didn't know that she had doubted Xiahou Fu and went to the small courtyard to investigate, she was so anxious that she was almost rude Throwing away everything—the small courtyard, Xiahou Fu, and the jade pendant.Thinking about it now, this clue is too rich.But at the same time, it also shows that she was there!And Xia Houfu didn't know about it!Because when I told him that he was talking to Nie Shuang, when I told him that it was Nie Shuang's ghost, Xia Houfu was really scared. If he knew that there was a third person, Jin Liyun, at the scene, then the first The reaction should be to suspect her of leaking the secret, not panic!

So, what did Jin Liyun do after watching the two quarrel in the courtyard?Join forces with Xiahou Fu to kill Nie Shuang?impossible.If so, Xia Houfu would have confessed to her long ago, and might even confess to her.That is... She secretly went back to Nie Shuang's room with Xia Houfu, and witnessed the whole process of the murder in the dark.Or, if what Xia Houfu said was true, he left the small courtyard and went back to his room after the quarrel... Then the person who killed Nie Shuang was probably Jin Liyun!

It was clearly midsummer, but Chun Jinran felt a chill.

He unconsciously hugged his arms tightly, and his throat was inexplicably dry.

"Jin Liyun..." He repeated the name in disbelief, "Could she have killed her..."

"Who, who killed it?" a question came from the roof suddenly.

Chun Jinran shuddered suddenly: "Why haven't you left yet?!"

"Why should I go!" He accompanied him silently for a long time, and Chun Shenduan didn't feel it at all!

"That's not what I meant," Chun Jinran quickly explained, while lowering his already low voice, "There are people living next to you, the longer you stay, the easier it is to be discovered, and the two people on your side This woman is not a vegetarian, if she can't find you, she will definitely become suspicious."

"It's not enough for you to worry about." Pei Xiaoyi sighed, and it was rare for him to tell patiently, "Master Kuyi and that little junior sister Xuanmiao didn't go back to their room at all. They have been reciting scriptures in the Buddhist hall. They can't sleep even if they want to sleep. As for me Over there, mother and daughter are going to quarrel over the roof, and have no time to deal with idlers."

"Did they quarrel?" Chun Jinran caught the point and asked quickly.

"The quarrel is still fierce," Pei Xiaoyi said, "It's no wonder that my daughter has made her own decisions."

"Don't they want to marry Xiahou Villa?"

"That's not true. Mrs. Jin is a woman with a strong desire to control, and she can't tolerate things that are out of her control, so she is angry because of Jin Liyun's unauthorized actions. It's a pity, what kind of mother and daughter, mother is terrible, and daughter is not easy. lights."

"You talk about them like you're talking about outsiders."

"Otherwise, do you want me to appreciate Dai Shien, or to care about the friendship of fellow students?"

"……Feel sorry."

"It doesn't matter. In fact, even if they didn't poison me and treat me like nothing, I don't seem to be able to have any deep feelings for them. People's hearts are the most unreliable thing in this world. Why waste time on things that will dissipate sooner or later."

"..."

"Are you trying to say I'm sick again?"

"Why did you say... ah, you heard me, when you closed the window? Then you haven't answered me yet, why can't you sleep all night?"

"..."

Because Brother Dapei refused to answer this question for the second time, Detective Xiaochun decided to ask him to offer advice on this case to make up for it——

"Do you think it is possible for Jin Liyun to kill someone?"

Pei Xiaoyi frowned: "Why do you ask that?"

"It's very logical," Chun Jinran explained, "You see, she first came forward and said that it would be best to investigate the scene and the corpse a second time, and then when I kept my mouth shut, she thought that the case was not progressing, so she directly approached me and provided Xia Hou Fu's complete conversation with Nie Shuang in the small courtyard, the scene and the piece of evidence of the jade pendant. Finally, when I insisted that Xiahou Fu was the murderer, she appeared at the right time and acted as a time witness for the other party. No matter how you look at it, this series of actions is very important. It was planned in advance, one link after another, the purpose is to let me identify Xia Houfu, and she will come forward to rescue her again, not to mention the favor of Luo Xiatian, and let the whole world know that she has committed herself to Xia Houfu. Going down, I'm afraid I'm going to force Xiahou Villa to give her a title. Could it be that such a well-planned bureau was a temporary idea after seeing Xiahou Fu's murder? I don't believe it. I always feel that she planned it earlier... "

"Wait," Pei Xiaoyi interrupted him, "You said she told you about the conversation in the courtyard and the jade pendant?"

"correct."

"Then you believed it? And you used it as fatal evidence to talk about it in front of Xiahou Zhengnan?"

"..."

"Your head is filled with grass!!!"

"Da Pei, your voice is too high..."

"It doesn't count how many times you die so stupidly!"

"If you do this again, I will unilaterally break off the relationship..."

"She won't kill herself."

"I'm with you...uh, what did you just say?"

Pei Xiaoyi exhaled heavily, feeling less oppressed, but began to feel tired again, and he didn't know whether it was because he had been lying on the roof for too long or it was too much effort to talk to someone: "I said, she is not the kind who will make her hands hurt. Blood-stained people, from childhood to adulthood, whenever she wants to get rid of anyone, she will only kill with a knife."

"You mean this time too?"

"If you suspect that Nie Shuang's death is related to her, then think in this direction."

"There's no chance of her doing it herself?"

"No, if you believe me."

Chun Jinran pursed her lips tightly.

Borrowing a knife to kill...

If it is Xiahou Fu, everything is back to the original point. If it is not Xiahou Fu, who is that knife?

"Big..." Before Pei's words came out, Chun Jinran sensed something unusual, stopped the following words, and listened carefully, and there was no sound on the roof.

Just when he was wondering, a voice came from the door: "Sincerely."

Chun Jinran turned around, only to see Ding Chen walking in.

"How did you find out?" Ding Chen asked.

"No progress." Chun Jinran smiled wryly, and then complained, "Why did you come here? In this situation, you should stay as far away from me as possible."

"I came after I told Master, don't worry."

"You told your master to come and help me and he agreed?!"

"I told Master to come and watch you in case you run away, and he agreed."

"Master Yuanzhen is really an eminent monk."

"Ah."

Chun Jinran didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said angrily, "Okay, you've seen me too, I won't run away even if I die, and you saw me at the scene, if that's the case, don't waste your time here, go back quickly. "

"Actually, I came here to talk to you about something." Ding Chen suddenly said seriously.

Chun Jinran's heart raised unconsciously: "What's the matter?"

Dingchen looked at him, and said slowly: "When we inspected the scene at the beginning, you deduced from the scattered piles of paper and large ink marks that Nie Shuang was unexpectedly strangled from behind while writing, until she fell into a coma. "

"So what?"

"Then there is something that doesn't make sense."

"where?"

"If Xia Houfu committed a crime while Nie Shuang was writing, he must have seen what she wrote. Why not take it all away? Even if he can't see the clues of the poem with hidden characters, the word that clearly points to emotion should be seen. I understand, why only half of it was torn away, wouldn't it be more eye-catching to leave the broken other half?"

"Perhaps he was in a hurry..."

"The person who spent so long arranging the illusion of fighting on the spot after the murder, was he negligent here in a moment of impatience?"

"..."

"Respectfully," Ding Chen pondered for a moment, then his voice suddenly dropped, "Have you ever thought that Xia Houfu might...be really wronged?"

Chun Jinran was stunned: "You mean, someone deliberately framed him?"

"I can't rule out this possibility, because there are too many evidences and it's too obvious," Ding Chen said here, taking a sigh of relief, "It's a pity that the person who planted the blame didn't understand a truth, it's too late, sometimes if you do too much, you will make mistakes .”

"Then who is the person who framed it? He killed Nie Shuang?"

Ding Chen sighed and shook his head slightly: "I don't know who he is, and I don't know if he is the murderer, but he must be someone who has a grudge against Xiahou Fu or Xiahou's family, and he knows very well the relationship between Nie Shuang and Xiahoufu. relationship, even, witnessed their quarrel."

Chun was silent.

a long time.

He found that since he suspected Xiahoufu, all his inferences and evidence collection were based on "Xiahoufu is the murderer", and his thoughts and actions were guided by this, and the purpose was to further confirm this. As a result, it seems like a cycle.Even though Jin Liyun was suspected later, when Pei Xiaoyi said that Jin Liyun would only kill with a knife, the suspicion disappeared.Because he took it for granted that the knife was either Xiahou Fu or anyone in the villa. If it was the former, the matter would return to the original point. If it was the latter, there would be too many suspects to investigate.

But now, when he jumped out of the established vicious circle of "Xia Houfu is the murderer" and looked back at the murderer, he realized that the initial and most basic judgment was almost ignored by him in the later stage-acquaintances.No matter whether he took the initiative to kill someone or was used as a knife by Jin Liyun, the assailant could only be an acquaintance of Nie Shuang!An acquaintance who knew Jin Liyun, could easily kill Nie Shuang, and benefited from framing Xia Houfu!

Fuck the hundred and ten guests!

There are only three people in this matter from beginning to end!If Jin Liyun was the mastermind behind the scenes, and Xia Houfu was innocent, then the one who killed Nie Shuang...

Chun Jinran suddenly ran to the bed and opened the palm of the corpse!

as predicted.

The strength in his whole body seemed to be taken away in an instant, and Chun Jinran slumped on the ground, a little dazed.

"What did you find?" Seeing his appearance, Ding Chen hurriedly asked worriedly.

"It's okay," Chun Jinran forced a smile, "Little Master, can you help me speak to the owner of Xiahou Village, and ask him to call the guests back to the main hall."

Ding Chen frowned slightly, but in the end he didn't ask any reason: "Okay."

Watching Ding Chen leave, Chun Jinran took a deep breath, got up and came to the window: "Everyone is gone, don't hide."

After a while, there was a very small sound of tiles touching above, and then Pei Xiaoyi said: "It's almost dawn."

Chun Jinran smiled slowly, but unfortunately unlike usual, the joy did not reach his eyes: "Da Pei, I have caught the murderer."

Unexpectedly, there was only silence on the roof.

Chun Jinran asked, "Don't you want to know who it is?"

It was quiet again for a while, and then Pei Xiaoyi's voice came: "I just want to know if you can nail the murderer to the coffin this time."

Chun Jinran smiled wryly: "I don't know."

"I don't know?" Pei Xiaoyi asked blackly, "You have been bitten back once, and if it happens a second time, you might really die."

"The murderer probably won't be able to bite me back." Chun Jinran's tone was full of self-deprecating, "Forget it, anyway, I can say whatever I found. As for whether the listener believes it or not, it's up to God."

"God is very busy." Pei Xiaoyi didn't know why he was angry, but he was just irritable.

"Then aren't you busy?" Chun Jinran asked suddenly.

"What do you mean?" Pei Xiaoyi frowned, not understanding.

Chun Jinran chuckled: "If you're not busy, just show your face. In case I die later, I'll keep it in mind."

Pei Xiaoyi: "You won't die."

Chun Jinran: "That's not good."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Don't you still have to go to the main hall, you will be able to see me then."

Chun Jinran: "That's different, I just want to see you now."

Pei Xiaoyi: "It's meaningless."

Chun Jinran: "Whether it makes sense or not is up to me!"

Pei Xiaoyi: "..."

Chun Jinran: "Da Pei——"

There was a helpless sigh from the roof.

Chun Jinran smiled triumphantly, poked his head out and looked up.

Soon, a head slowly came out from the eaves.

Chun Jinran: "..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "What I said is meaningless."

Chun Jinran: "Who the hell knows that you are covering your face!!!"

Pei Xiaoyi: "Actually, I first blackened my face with soot and then covered it up."

Chun Jinran: "..."

Pei Xiaoyi: "Be careful sailing forever."

Chun Jinran: "Then can you paddle away now, do you want me to send you some waves?"
