"I plan to interrogate that person again." Lin Xiner explained to herself, knowing that the death was an accident.
That's exactly what happened. She never expected that the thief would die. Didn't he still have hope of living?
Ximen Jingxuan glanced at her lightly and walked towards the secret room without saying a word.
Lin Xiner and Yang Chen followed behind.
The thief fell to the ground dripping with blood, and his breathing had stopped. However, there was no pain in his death appearance, and he seemed to be somewhat "peaceful".
Such a death is something that should not happen to a person who has been treated cruelly.
Ximen Jingxuan stepped forward and inspected it personally. Except for the injuries on his legs, he didn't see anything unusual. Even the commonly used method of self-cutting of the tendons and veins was not used. All the tendons were intact.
.
"How did he die?" Ximen Jingxuan stood up and asked.
Lin Xiner, who was standing behind him, was slightly stunned. Such an indifferent questioning tone could only be directed at her.
He doubted her?
"I don't know." Lin Xiner said calmly. She must have a clear conscience for things she has not done.
However, when she heard this question, she felt very uncomfortable.
The death of a thief can provoke conflict between her and him.
"Really?" Ximen Jingxuan turned around, his eyes just glancing at Lin Xiner's face.
"I also want to know what he stole." Lin Xiner emphasized. So she would not kill him.
"You already knew, maybe you killed him just to silence him, and it was me who was on guard against him," Ximen Jingxuan said.
The thief had always been under Yang Chen's nose, and the only time outsiders intervened was when Wang Yue was the only outsider who had seen the thief up close.
If you don't doubt her, who else can you doubt?
He wanted to use the excuse of destroying the secret force's plan to attack Lin Ke'er to change the way of getting along with Shuiyue Palace, which gave him an excuse to treat Mochizuki peacefully.
However, this woman would not give up her tricks or her purpose of sneaking into Prince Xuan's palace. Her behavior reminded him all the time that they were on opposite sides.
What she said about falling in love with him was just a pretense. It was her purpose to bring his feelings deeply into her, and her methods were much higher than those prostitutes' ability to seduce people.
It was because he couldn't help himself and decided to fall for her hook. In just less than a month, his attitude, what he thought, and his heart were all undergoing drastic changes.
He originally thought that it would take a long process for his heart to be opened after years of dust. He originally thought that caring more and more about someone would require years of accumulation. However, looking at the woman in front of him, he seemed to have known her for a long time. Their relationship before
The fight also took place several years ago. It seemed that their feelings had been bound a long time ago, but now they had reached the point where they could not help but evaporate a little bit.
However, this was just his own feeling, so what about her?
"I didn't kill him." Lin Xiner said every word, looking directly at Ximen Jingxuan, suppressing the fluctuations in her heart.
She was hiding it from him, and it was so hard for him to hide it. Didn't she want to confess everything, so that there would be no barriers between the two of them, and they could depend on each other?
However, in his eyes, she was the person standing on the opposite side of him. Any random thing would make her suspicious. Now she herself was full of doubts in front of him. Under such circumstances,
After revealing what happened back then, how much gain can be gained by telling the dagger? How much will he believe it?
What's more, the dagger has been lost, and she doesn't even have the only remaining evidence...
Lin Xiner suddenly felt very sad, just like when she was a child when her beloved thing was destroyed and she wanted to cry to her mother. Since her mother died of illness, she had no one to cry to. Master gave her a new life.
She was like her own mother, but her master was very strict and never allowed her to cry. During martial arts training, no matter how painful or exhausting she was, she could not shed a single tear.
And she did it, and she would never cry easily again.
But now, after losing something very important and facing the suspicion of her loved ones, Lin Xiner suddenly felt as aggrieved as she did when she was frustrated as a child, and her heart was sour that it would not go away for a long time.
When Ximen Jingxuan looked at Lin Xiner, his eyes were lightly filled with mist. It was very light, but it made him move involuntarily.
Without her sharpness and strength, she was also an ordinary woman, a woman who made him feel pity.
She seemed to be suffering a lot and wanted to tell him...
"Yang Chen, take this thief to the bamboo forest and let Yan Qiu check it out." Ximen Jingxuan said.
Poisoning was the only cause of death he could think of. Maybe this poison could clear her name.
Ximen Jingxuan hid his thoughts and passed by Lin Xiner. Even if he was confused by her every move and moved by her, he would never let her find out or lead her around if she got the chance.
Feeling the wind blowing past her, Lin Xiner felt that her whole body was chilled by the wind.
When we arrived at the bamboo forest, it was already dark, and the lights were on in Leng Yanqiu's house. Wuyou was sitting alone in the courtyard, with his head lowered and his hands on his chin, looking depressed.
"Worry." Yang Chen shouted.
"Brother Yang." Wuyou raised his head and saw the people coming, Prince Xuan, Princess Xuan, and a dead person?
"Are you looking for sir?" Wuyou stood up and asked.
"Yes." Yang Chen said, placing the thief's body in the courtyard.
"Oh." Wuyou responded, looking towards Leng Yanqiu's house, as if hesitant to step forward.
"What's the matter with Yan Qiu?" Ximen Jingxuan asked.
Wuyou quickly shook his head, but looked at the door and refused to go.
Yang Chen looked at Ximen Jingxuan and went to knock on the door himself.
Before his hand landed on the door panel, the door had already been opened. It was impossible that the movement in the yard would not alert Leng Yanqiu.
Leng Yanqiu walked out of the house, without looking at Wuyou on the side, his eyes fell directly on the body on the ground, "Poisoned?"
"I'm not sure, please help me check." Ximen Jingxuan walked forward.
Lin Xiner followed Ximen Jingxuan and stood on the other side.
Leng Yanqiu moved his eyes away from the corpse on the ground, glanced at Lin Xiner vaguely, turned around and walked towards the house, and said to Yang Chen, "Bring the person in."
Yang Chen took the body into the house with Ximen Jingxuan, while Lin Xiner stayed outside the hospital and came to Wuyou who looked strange.
Since Leng Yanqiu clearly pointed out her identity, she regarded Leng Yanqiu as a very familiar person. He understood her and was a stranger to her, so he should be able to listen to her quietly.
Human right?
Thinking of this, Lin Xin'er became more curious about the people around Leng Yanqiu. She wondered whether Wuyou's strange behavior was due to himself, or if there was something wrong with Leng Yanqiu?
