Lin Wanru's almost pleading tone made Xi Honglei's heart tremble suddenly. She suddenly felt that Lin Wanru had lost something, and the reason for the loss was because of Li Guilan and the others...
"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Xi Honglei lay quietly in Lin Wanru's arms and asked softly.
"Mom is fine, I just feel sorry for you." Lin Wanru forced a smile and pulled the corner of her mouth. Although she knew she couldn't see Xi Hong's tears, she still tried her best to smile and said, "Mom, all I need is you."
Xi Honglei closed her eyes. Listening to Lin Wanru's words, her chest felt a little heavy. Without making any sound, Xi Honglei just lay next to Lin Wanru and slept all night. In her sleep, she seemed to still be able to feel Lin Wanru.
Like a gentle caress...
At dawn the next day, Xi Honglei had breakfast and left Xi Mansion with Hua'er. He didn't go to Mu Yunmeng or wait for Ran Yunshang. This time Xi Honglei went directly to the pharmacy and bought some usual medicine.
Commercially available medicinal materials.
"Hua'er, do you know where I can get medicine near the city?" Xi Honglei glanced at Hua'er casually and asked after walking out of the pharmacy.
"Herbal medicine? Sigu Mountain in the suburbs should be fine. Miss, are you sick? Is it okay? Go directly to the doctor!" Hua'er looked down at the medicine in her hand, frowned and said worriedly.
Looking around the mountain... Xi Honglei smiled and did not answer Hua'er's question. After shopping around for some more things, Xi Honglei slowly walked to Mu Yunmeng's residence.
"Are you sick?" Mu Yunmeng saw what was in Hua'er's hand at a glance, looked up at Xi Honglei, and asked in a low voice.
Xi Honglei smiled and shook his head, brushing off the matter and brushing it off. Then he asked Hua'er to wait at the door while he seriously discussed the case with Mu Yunmeng and expressed his views.
"So what you're saying is that the recent murders were most likely committed by the same person?" Mu Yunmeng asked with twinkling eyes after listening to Xi Honglei's words in silence.
"It's very possible that those who died were all beautiful women. Although on the surface, they died in very different ways, you can see the mystery if you look closely. If I'm not wrong, I think this
The murderer may be a pervert with a twisted heart. After coveting beauty, he simply killed all the victims in order to cover up others' eyes." Xi Honglei shrugged his shoulders, sat in the chair relaxedly, and said all the possibilities he could think of.
Gave it to Mu Yunmeng.
"You are quite thoughtful." Mu Yunmeng looked at Xi Honglei with a smile in his eyes, and said with a hint of joking in his tone: "It seems that you have really read a lot of books, in order to be able to become a
We went to catch him quickly and put in a lot of effort."
Xi Honglei listened to Mu Yunmeng's words and smiled awkwardly. "I was just guessing..."
This is true. Although Xi Honglei knows something about autopsies, she is not a police officer after all. In addition to being able to draw some conclusions from corpses, she can only rely on what she has seen, heard and thought over the years.
Let’s guess the general direction of this case.
Mu Yunmeng frowned, and after looking at Xi Honglei deeply for a while, he lowered his head and held his face with one hand in silence, thinking about the case. Xi Honglei did not disturb his thoughts anymore.
It wasn't until Ran Yunshang broke through the door that the two of them turned their attention to Ran Yunshang who looked panicked.
"Honglei, it's not good, it's not good!" Ran Yunshang rushed to Xi Honglei out of breath, held Xi Honglei's hands, and said with a strange expression: "It's bad!"
"What's wrong? Speak slowly." Xi Honglei immediately became alert when she saw Ran Yunshang's panic.
"Well, that Song Zixuan, he is already engaged! The daughter of the minister's family is his fiancée, what should I do?" Ran Yunshang said impatiently the news he had just found out. The tension that Xi Honglei had felt before was gone.
No existence.
"I thought it was something big..." Xi Honglei looked at Ran Yunshang with a wry smile, then motioned Ran Yunshang to sit down and spoke slowly. After Ran Yunshang sat down on the chair uneasily, Xi Honglei continued to say: "It's just an engagement.
, it’s nothing. Didn’t Prince Chu and I have an engagement before? If the princess really cares, she should go to the emperor and ask him to terminate the engagement between General Song and that woman. In short, you will not suffer any loss, princess.
Isn’t it?”
"No!" Ran Yunshang shook her head firmly and rejected Xi Honglei's proposal. "I don't want him to marry other women, and I don't want him to marry me unwillingly!"
Ran Yunshang's words made Xi Honglei stunned. After all, this was ancient times, and it was normal for a man with some power to have three wives and four concubines. But this princess actually had such an idea, which made Xi Honglei sigh with emotion.
.
"Are we going to be together for the rest of our lives? The princess thinks so well." Xi Honglei smiled slightly and looked sideways at Ran Yunshang. But she didn't know that the smile on her face at this moment looked so lonely in the eyes of others.
"Then princess, just find a way to break them up and make General Song fall in love with you."
"How to break it up? I don't want him to hate me!" Ran Yunshang opened her eyes wide and stared at Xi Honglei. Then she pulled Xi Honglei's wrist pitifully and begged: "Honglei, help me...
…”
Xi Honglei sighed secretly due to her headache, tried hard to maintain the smile on her face, and nodded slowly under Ran Yunshang's hot gaze.
In this way, Xi Honglei's mission gradually changed from assisting Mu Yunmeng to solve the case to helping Ran Yunshang make plans and "pursue" Song Zixuan.
Mu Yunmeng sat aside quietly, glancing at the two women who were talking passionately from time to time. If you didn't listen to their conversation carefully, who would have thought that they were planning to destroy other people's engagements?
The whole day, Mu Yunmeng's ears were filled with the names of Song Zixuan and Li Yingluo. So after Xi Honglei and Ran Yunshang left, Mu Yunmeng suddenly realized that it had been a long time since he had been alone quietly.
Staying here. His original life has been completely messed up by Ran Yunshang and this woman Xi Honglei.
After leaving Mu Yunmeng's residence, Xi Honglei returned to Xi Mansion and hid herself in her room and never came out again. Even during dinner time, she used being unwell as an excuse to not show up.
Hiding in the room, Xi Honglei slowly made the herbs and other materials he bought during the day into what he wanted with a solemn expression. After staying up most of the night, when Xi Honglei finished the work, it was already late at night.
.
Leaning back in the chair, her tearful eyes flashed with a little cold light. From the time she came to this world to now, no matter what happened, she had never thought about taking a human life. But last night, while listening to
After hearing what Lin Wanru said, Xi Honglei felt that she could no longer stop thinking about the future.
Li Guilan's attitude towards Lin Wanru made Xi Honglei curious. What Lin Wanru had lost was something Xi Honglei wanted to find out. In addition, Xi Honglei and several people in Xi Honglei were now eyeing her covetously, so Xi Honglei
I had to change my methods to ensure that I could still survive and protect Lin Wanru.
After cleaning up the mess, Xi Honglei lay down on the bed tiredly and fell asleep. When the next day dawned, Xi Honglei opened the door sleepily and found Xi Jiabao standing at the door of her room.
Tears reflexively took two steps back, and then asked in a cold voice: "What are you doing standing here so early in the morning?"
"Of course I'm here to learn how to do business from you. Dad and I have already told you that he asked me to come to you today and ask you to take me to visit the store!" Xi Jiabao confidently spoke to Xi Honglei, letting Xi
Honglei felt a surge of anger in her heart for no reason. Looking sideways at Xi Jiabao, Xi Honglei had already missed the time to have a meal in the dining hall. He ate casually and ordered Hua'er to go to Mu Yunmeng's place.
He told Mu Yunmeng that he couldn't go there today. Then, he listlessly took Xi Jiabao and walked slowly towards the downtown area.
Xi Jiabao's foot, which suffered a severed hamstring last time, has recovered very quickly. At least he can keep up with a normal pace using crutches.
Xi Honglei glanced at Xi Jiabao and his entourage without leaving a trace, raised the corner of his mouth with disdain, and smiled coldly. He took Xi Jiabao to inspect several shops. At noon, when Xi Honglei and Xi Jiabao passed by a
In the alley, when he was going to eat something, he saw a man with a malicious look on his face, Xi Honglei suddenly understood the real purpose of Xi Jiabao looking for him today.
Xi Honglei was slowly surrounded by several men. She looked at Xi Jiabao calmly, and then at the man who rode a horse on the street last time. When Xi Jiabao called him Zhang Heng, Xi Honglei
He secretly clenched his fists and stepped back step by step.
With her back pressed against the cold wall, Xi Honglei watched Xi Jiabao pat Zhang Heng's shoulder with a smirk on his face, looked at him with hatred and said: "Get rid of her, and let's see what happens to this good-for-nothing."
Establish a foothold in the Xi family! My father is really crazy. He actually said that he would give her all the family property. I want to see if she gets immoral, will my father break her legs and expel her from the gate of Xi family!"
Zhang Heng listened to Xi Jiabao's words and glanced up and down at Xi Honglei, then his eyes rested on Xi Honglei's chest.
Zhang Heng looked back with a lewd smile. Apart from being excited, Zhang Heng was also a little worried. "Jia Bao, if she goes back and reveals this matter, what should we do?"
"Poke it out?" Xi Jiabao snorted coldly and said, "She is poisonous and mute. Let me see what she says!"
Xi Honglei listened quietly to the two people discussing how to deal with herself, and looked around at the environment she was in. This street was already relatively remote. Even if she was lucky, one or two people passed by, but she probably wouldn't have the guts to do it.
Rushing to help herself. It seemed that she had no choice but to protect herself.
