Chapter 34 Suspect

As soon as Wen Zhiheng came back and heard the news that Chen Shiyi was beaten, he hurried into her room, holding her face and looking at it carefully.

Wen Zhirou knew Wen Zhiheng's temper best. Although she looked calm, she was actually extremely angry.

She rolled her eyes and retreated with interest.

"Was it the same guy who beat you last time?"

Chen Shiyi nodded.

Wen Zhiheng lowered his eyes to hide his anger.

"What's his name? I'm going to kill him."

Chen Shiyi didn't say anything.

Wen Zhiheng turned around and was about to walk out.

Chen Shiyi hurriedly got out of bed and grabbed his clothes.

"I have killed him."

Wen Zhiheng turned around and was very surprised. The person in front of him was small in stature, but very resolute, with dark and bright eyes, and his clenched fists were trembling.

He gently held Chen Shiyi in his arms and rested his forehead on her wet hair.

"Don't be afraid."

"If the government finds me, will it implicate you?"

"Are you covered in blood?"

"no."

"Is the dagger destroyed?"

"Um."

"Did anyone see it?"

"have."

"Do you know that person?"

"know."

"Tell me what he looks like. That person cannot stay here, or there will be endless troubles."

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"I thought about it for a long time on the way. I really wanted to live, but the man just saw me by chance. I had no grudge against him. Why should I hurt an innocent person's life? If he reported me, it would be my fate. I would just kill someone to pay for his life."

Wen Zhiheng hugged her tightly.

"You are calm and generous."

Chen Shiyi leaned on his hot chest. Her slightly rapid heartbeat made her feel at ease. Her anxious mind calmed down in an instant.

"Eleven, you shouldn't have done it yourself. How could you forget that you still have me? If you have anything to say to me, I will help you deal with it. You always take things on your own, don't say a word when you're beaten, and seek revenge alone. If you do this, where do you want me to be?"

"I've been used to it since I was a child. No one will stand up for me."

Wen Zhiheng pinched her cheek.

"I will stand up for you in the future."

"Um."

"Don't go to town tomorrow. Rest at home for a few days."

Chen Shiyi shook his head.

"I have to go. If I don't go, and that person is found dead, and I disappear, I will be the first person to be suspected."

Wen Zhiheng looked down at her with deep eyes.

"Eleven, this is not how you kill someone. I will teach you how to kill someone without anyone noticing, instead of letting others hold you responsible and hinder you."

"Just like when you killed the official, you didn't have to do it yourself, someone else did it for you."

Wen Zhiheng smiled gently, as if the radiant sun melted the ice and snow.

"This is just one of the ways to lure people with profit. This method is applicable to more than half of the people because people will have desires. But it also has disadvantages. It can only kill some insignificant people. Moreover, if you have not reached a certain height and do not have a certain amount of power, this method is basically ineffective."

Chen Shiyi's eyes sparkled like stars, but after a while, they dimmed again.

"What's wrong?"

“Just hope I can get through this.”

"Don't be so pessimistic. Take it one step at a time and deal with it accordingly. Many people choose to play it safe. No one wants to get involved in this kind of thing."

"Um."

"Be careful. If you encounter any problems, call me immediately. I will ensure that you are safe and sound."

Wen Zhirou kept lingering outside the door.

Just hold me for a while. If you hold me for too long, your balls will get burned, okay?

Chen Shiyi's face was swollen. After a few days, the hot compress with eggs was no longer of any use. He probably did this for peace of mind. At least, this was a use.

The eggs were indeed a little hot, and Wen Zhirou rolled them around her face patiently.

Sometimes when the heat was too strong, Chen Shiyi would shudder.

Wen Zhiheng said in a sharp voice beside him.

"Be careful. Can't you see she's in pain?"

Wen Zhirou gritted her teeth and threw the egg to Wen Zhiheng.

"Come, come!"

Wen Zhiheng took the egg.

"I'll come if I want."

Chen Shiyi thought that the lady's movements just now were gentle, and she should not have avoided it. It was better than the person in front of her pinching her chin and rubbing it randomly without any method.

At the end, he said it quite confidently.

"Look, isn't this good? She didn't hide."

It's not that I don't want to hide, but how can I hide if you hold my chin?

Wen Zhirou sneered disdainfully.

"Don't show off. I've been tolerating you. My nails have turned white from pinching you."

Chen Shiyi's lips curled up slightly. The eldest master and the young lady were trying to comfort him in various ways. He hoped that their jokes could dispel the shadow in his heart.

Li Mao deserved to die, and she killed him, and she had no regrets.

If Pei Xiucai wanted to report her because of their previous grudge, she would have nothing to say.

After all, she was ready to kill someone.

She came to the stall as usual, lit the stove, let the dough rise, prepared various side dishes, and skillfully baked large cakes. As always, she smiled and greeted customers sweetly.

Now that she had some free time, she couldn't help but glance at Pei Xiucai standing next to her.

She found that he was sitting calmly by the side, not talking to others, just looking at his own book, occasionally writing a few words, and talking to others in a low voice when someone came to write a letter.

It seemed as if he had already forgotten the bright red color all over the ground under the heavy rain yesterday.

In fact, Chen Shiyi still has another reason to be confident.

That day, when she was beaten by Li Mao, the voice that shouted "Captain Yuan is here" came from his mouth.

The eldest master is right. We cannot rely on others for our own life and death.

But, her fate has never been in her own hands.

With uneasiness in her heart, she spent the day in fear.

The next morning, as expected, the truth was revealed.

Mrs. Zhao was filled with righteous indignation and excitement.

"The bastard who beat you up a few days ago was stabbed in a rotten alley. He died miserably. I don't know what enemy he offended, but it was a good death. It's a relief to all."

Chen Shiyi smiled a few times awkwardly.

He glanced secretly at Pei Xiucai next to him. He was still sitting there quietly, as if he had no interest in the murder case that was causing a big fuss.

While Chen Shiyi was busy, a group of people suddenly came in front of him.

She looked up and saw a man dressed in the uniform of a constable standing in front of her, speaking with a stern face.

"Li risked his life. Someone saw you arguing with him a few days ago and suspected you of murder in revenge. Come with me to the government office for questioning."

Chen Shiyi's head started buzzing.

It turned out that even if she didn't kill Li Mao, as long as she had a dispute with him, she could be considered suspected of murder and would be thrown into prison for interrogation.

The people around were instantly surprised.

"No?"

"This little girl is so kind and sweet-talking, how could she possibly kill someone?"

"It's just a suspicion, but I'm not sure who did it."

Chen Shiyi looked frightened as he watched the bailiff grab his arm and take him away.

"Detective Yuan."

A cold voice sounded.

Chen Shiyi looked up and saw Pei Xiucai's thin figure standing up.

She was startled and thought she was finished.

"Pei Xiucai."

When Captain Yuan saw Mr. Pei, he bowed quickly.

Pei Xiucai also returned the greeting.

"Where is Captain Yuan going to take this woman?"

"Someone's dead. This is the suspect."

Pei Xiucai understood.

"Who is the deceased and when did he die? We are with this woman and may be able to provide some useful clues."
