On the long street, in full view of everyone, Jiang Zhiyu touched the face of the corpse, and then tore it off bit by bit.
The eyes of the people around also widened wider as they watched this scene.
After Jiang Zhiyu finished tearing it and showed it to Xiao Yanli, the people were suddenly in an uproar and couldn't stop talking.
Jiang Zhiyu shook her hands, and the human skin mask trembled with her movements: "Your Highness, can you explain?"
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 Wei still alive at that time?"
Jiang Zhiyu watched him perform quietly: "Your Highness, do you recognize this person?"
"She should be a maid in my house. Could it be that an assassin has kidnapped her and is deliberately creating this illusion?"
Xiao Yanli pretended to be stunned.
Jiang Zhiyu: “…”
[Just make it up, just make it up, who can make it up better than you?]
I have claustrophobia and cannot be around old people.
He Yanting: “…”
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
The blood on the flying knife had been wiped off by He Yanting. He was playing with the flying knife in his hand. The blade reflected the sunlight and dazzled people's eyes.
Xiao Yanli's eyes stung from being dazzled, and he couldn't help but rub them. He continued to act and shouted to Xiao Lingyu, "Brother, you must find Shi Wei!"
Xiao Lingyu: "..."
What a sin he has committed!
After Xiao Yanli rubbed his eyes, his vision was still a little blurry, but he vaguely saw a familiar figure walking towards 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. Instead, it 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 hint of surprise: "Are you crying?"
He was so curious that he felt as if he had never seen Xiao Yanli before.
Xiao Yanli: "..."
Tsk!
"Second brother came quickly."
The two knew each other well about the assassination. Xiao Chuji withdrew his gaze and returned to his indifference: "I just heard about it a while ago. I was worried about my sixth brother, so I came to check on him."
Xiao Chuji snorted coldly.
At this moment, Jiang Zhaorong's figure also appeared in front of everyone. He walked staggeringly with tears still on his face. He didn't look at anyone and rushed to the corpse. After seeing that it was not Song Shiwei, his lips trembled and he slowly exhaled a breath of foul air.
Then he stood up and saluted everyone.
He is just like an old father who is worried about his beloved daughter.
Xiao Lingyu and He Yanting both looked at 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 be very likely to receive her sharp criticism.
There was no worry in their eyes, they just pricked up their ears, wanting to hear Jiang Zhiyu's evaluation of his acting skills.
[He is indeed a Phoenix man who truly falls in love with the role and relies entirely on his acting skills. 】
[This level is just a drop in the bucket for him.]
[Securely sitting on the third place, quack quack.]
third?
He Yanting's eyes flashed slightly. Who are the first and second?
As more and more people came, Xiao Lingyu shouted in a low voice: "Carry the people back and go into the mansion to discuss."
Xiao Yanli nodded, and the servants carried the person into the mansion, and everyone followed him in.
The landscape in the palace is well-arranged, but there are basically no things like bamboo forests and rockery that can hide a person's body.
Everyone had different expressions. After entering the house, no one spoke for a while.
Xiao Yanli spoke first: "Mr. He, could you please hand over the flying knife in your hand to me?"
He Yanting nodded, and the servant next to him was about to take it, but he saw He Yanting flick his fingers, and the flying knife in his hand pierced straight into the table next to Xiao Yanli's hand.
The others were shocked.
Xiao Yanli was the same. His heartbeat quickened uncontrollably for a few seconds. He looked at He Yanting, then at Jiang Zhiyu, cursed inwardly, and then pulled out the throwing knife from the table.
He examined it carefully for a few seconds, then looked at Xiao Chuji opposite him: "This kind of flying knife, I remember it was used by my second brother's men."
"It's just a flying knife. Anyone can use it."
"But there's a mark on this flying knife." Xiao Yanli imitated He Yanting and stuck the flying knife on the table next to Xiao Chuji's hand. "Second brother, take a closer look?"
Xiao Chuji didn't even pull out his flying knife, but just glanced at it perfunctorily as if giving alms: "No."
Xiao Yanli: "..."
It’s not what you saw!
He smiled wryly: "Second brother is taking a closer look?"
Anyone could tell who he was suspicious of by being so targeted. Xiao Chuji sneered, "Sixth brother, if you have something to say, just say it directly. Why beat around the bush?"
"Then I'll be frank. The mark on this flying knife..."
"So what if it's a logo? You know all about it, so does that mean it can't be faked?" Xiao Chuji interrupted him impatiently, "If you use this to accuse me, can I also accuse you of forging the logo to frame me?"
Xiao Yanli choked.
[This male protagonist is not good enough, why is his fighting ability so weak? ]
If it was really Song Shiwei who died, and this sign was pointed out by Xiao Yanli, Xiao Chuji might panic.
But now, the one who died was just a maid. Even if it was finally discovered that the flying knife was indeed his, what would it matter?
Xiao Chuji chuckled disdainfully.
The information revealed in these few short sentences was enough for everyone to deduce Xiao Yanli's original plan.
The fact that Song Shiwei was carrying the treasure of the previous dynasty had become an unspoken "secret" because of the private investigations of so many people.
When she is in a neutral position, everyone will naturally rush to please her and recruit her into their team.
Xiao Yanli went to ask for a marriage, but this balance was broken.
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, then it would be better to return everything to the starting point. As long as Song Shiwei dies and the clue to the treasure is lost, no one will have it, which is worse 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 forged flying knife, put a human skin mask made of Song Shiwei's face on her face, put her 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, Xiao Chuji.
By then, the news of Song Shiwei's death would spread, and the others would keep quiet. Regardless of whether Xiao Chuji was convicted or not, he would lose the emperor's trust, and the ministers would never associate with him again. He would then be able to slowly find clues on Song Shiwei and take the treasure of the previous dynasty for himself. It could be said that he killed three birds with one stone.
It should have been a foolproof plan, but because he was late in collecting the bodies, he ended up in this difficult situation.
While Xiao Chuji was feeling scared, he also couldn't help but feel a little curious.
Xiao Yanli made the plan himself, so he naturally knew the pros and cons. Then why did he leave the house so late?
