Chapter 408: Cannot Contact Old Guandeng

On the long street, in full view of the crowd, Jiang Zhiyu touched the face of the corpse, and then tore it off bit by bit.

The eyes of the people around him became more and more wide-eyed as he watched this scene.

After Jiang Zhiyu finished tearing it off and showed it to Xiao Yanli, the people were suddenly like a pot of boiling water, and the discussion was endless.

Jiang Zhiyu shook her hands, and the human skin mask also shook with her movements: "Your Highness, explain it?"

The shock in Xiao Yanli's eyes was no less than that of the onlookers.

"How could this be? She was the one who died. Wasn't she still alive at that time?"

Jiang Zhiyu watched him perform quietly: "Your Highness, do you know this person?"

"She should be a maid in my house. Could it be that the assassin took her away and deliberately created this illusion?"

Xiao Yanli pretended to be surprised.

Jiang Zhiyu: "..."

[Just make it up, who can make it up better than you? ]

[I have claustrophobia and cannot come into contact with Lao Yandeng. ]

He Yanting: "..."

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

The blood on the flying knife had been wiped off by He Yanting. He played with the flying knife in his hand. The blade reflected the sunlight and dazzled people's eyes.

Xiao Yanli's eyes were stinging from the dazzle, and he couldn't help rubbing them. He didn't forget to continue to act and shouted to Xiao Lingyu: "Brother, you must find Shi Wei!"

Xiao Lingyu: "..."

What sin has he committed!

After Xiao Yanli rubbed his eyes, his vision was still a little blurry, and he vaguely saw a familiar figure walking at the corner of the street.

Just say he was blinded!

He lowered his head and rubbed it again, but the purple figure did not disappear, but got closer and closer to him.

Xiao Chuji, dressed in a purple python robe, tilted his head slightly, and looked at Xiao Yanli with a little surprise in his eyes: "Are you, crying?"

He was so curious as if he had never seen Xiao Yanli before.

Xiao Yanli: "..."

Tsk!

"Second brother is here fast."

The two knew the assassination well. Xiao Chuji retracted his gaze and returned to indifference: "I just heard that I was worried about my sixth brother, so I came to see him."

Xiao Chuji snorted coldly.

At this time, Jiang Zhaorong also appeared in front of everyone. He staggered, with tears still on his face. No one looked at him. He rushed to the corpse at the first time. After seeing that it was not Song Shiwei, his lips trembled and he slowly exhaled a foul breath.

Then he stood up and saluted everyone.

Like an old father who was very worried about his beloved daughter.

Xiao Lingyu and He Yanting's eyes fell on Jiang Zhiyu.

Knowing that she had no feelings for Jiang Zhaorong, Jiang Zhaorong's behavior would not only not make him sad, but would also most likely get her sharp praise.

There was no worry in their eyes, but they just pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Jiang Zhiyu's evaluation of his acting skills.

[As expected of a phoenix man who truly loves acting and relies on his acting skills. ]

[This level is really a piece of cake for him. ]

[Sitting firmly on the third throne, quack quack. ]

Third?

He Yanting's eyes flickered slightly, then who was the first and second?

More and more people came, Xiao Lingyu said in a low voice: "Carry the person back and go into the mansion to discuss."

Xiao Yanli nodded, and the servants carried the person into the mansion, and everyone followed him into the mansion.

The landscape in the mansion was well-arranged, but there were basically no bamboo forests or rockeries that could hide a person's body.

Everyone had different expressions, and no one spoke for a while after entering the house.

Xiao Yanli was the first to speak: "Mr. He, can you give me the flying knife in your hand?"

He Yanting nodded, and the servant next to him was about to take it, but saw He Yanting flick his fingers, and the flying knife in his hand stabbed straight into the table next to Xiao Yanli's hand.

The rest of the people were shocked.

Xiao Yanli was also shocked. His heartbeat uncontrollably accelerated for a few seconds. He looked at He Yanting, then at Jiang Zhiyu, and cursed in his heart, and then pulled out the flying knife from the table.

He looked at it carefully for a few seconds and looked at Xiao Chuji opposite him: "This kind of throwing knife, I remember it is used by second brother's men."

"It's just a throwing knife, anyone can use it."

"But there is a label on this throwing knife," Xiao Yanli imitated He Yanting and stuck the throwing knife on the table next to Xiao Chuji's hand: "Second brother, take a closer look?"

Xiao Chuji didn't even pull out the throwing knife, he just glanced at it perfunctorily as if giving alms: "No."

Xiao Yanli: "..."

If you looked at it, it's not!

He smiled with a fake smile: "Second brother is taking a closer look?"

This is so targeted that anyone can see who he is suspicious of. Xiao Chuji sneered: "Sixth brother, just say it directly, why beat around the bush."

​​"Then I'll be frank, the mark on this flying knife..."

"What about the mark? You know this mark, can't it be faked?" Xiao Chuji interrupted him impatiently: "If you use this to incriminate me, then can I also prove that you forged the mark to frame me?"

Xiao Yanli choked.

[This male protagonist is not good, why is his fighting ability so weak? ]

If the person who died was really Song Shiwei, Xiao Chuji might panic when Xiao Yanli pointed out this mark.

But now, the one who died was just a maid. Even if it is finally found out that the flying knife was indeed his, what can it do?

Xiao Chuji sneered.

Xiao Yanli's original plan, revealed in these few short sentences, has been deduced by enough people.

Song Shiwei has the treasure of the previous dynasty. Because of so many people's private investigation, it has become a tacit "secret" known to everyone.

When she was neutral, everyone would naturally rush to please her and bring her into their team.

Xiao Yanli went to ask for a marriage, but broke this balance.

No one would watch the treasure fall into the hands of others, and Xiao Yanli knew this clearly.

It would be best if someone could get Song Shiwei. If not, it would be better to return to the starting point. As long as Song Shiwei died, the clue to the treasure would be lost, and no one would have it, which was better than having it all to themselves.

Xiao Yanli also understood this truth during four consecutive assassinations at night.

So he found a maid, killed her with a fake flying knife, put a human skin mask made of Song Shiwei's face on her face, and then put it in the wedding sedan and went out to complete the ceremony.

Xiao Yanli knew that at this time, she would definitely be assassinated again. No matter which group of people came, the final suspect would be the owner behind the flying knife, that is, Xiao Chuji.

By then, the news of Song Shiwei's death would spread, and the others would quiet down. Regardless of whether Xiao Chuji was convicted or not, he would lose the emperor's trust, and the ministers would never make friends with him again. He would be able to slowly find clues on Song Shiwei and take the treasures of the previous dynasty for himself. It could be said

that he killed three birds with one stone. This should have been a foolproof plan, but because he was slow in collecting the body, he ended up in such a predicament.

While Xiao Chuji was afraid, he couldn't help but feel a little curious.

Xiao Yanli made the plan himself, so he naturally knew the pros and cons. So why did he leave the house so late?
