Chapter 31 Sky Eye Talisman
If time could go back ten seconds, Shen Zhiyi would probably choose to knock himself out with a hammer instead of doing such a stupid and brainless thing.
There are so many ways to divert attention, why choose this method that will cause endless trouble?
Her heart was roaring, but her exterior remained calm. Her hands pressed against his waist, the curve of his waist unconsciously outlined in her mind through her feeling. Her cheek pressed against his shoulder, the increasingly hot temperature oozing through every inch of her body, stirring up waves of blood boiling.
"Are you hurt?" The man's low voice came to her ear, and a faint warmth brushed her earlobe.
Shen Zhiyi untied his hands, raised his hands unnaturally to touch his itchy ears, and said, "Fortunately, I'm not hurt."
She subconsciously glanced at the man's expression.
She didn't know if it was an illusion. She didn't see a trace of surprise on his face at being embraced by the person he loved. His eyes were complicated, but because of his calm temperament, he didn't seem impetuous. It seemed that it was just her illusion.
He was very calm, like a giant mountain that had stood in the wind and rain for a thousand years. No matter what he encountered, he remained calm and composed.
In comparison, Shen Zhiyi felt that he was just a little scum with no determination.
Influenced by him, she quickly forgot about the hug and turned to the more important matter: "I remember that Yu Fanggeng took some medicine before bed. Maybe he took the wrong medicine, which led to his disordered behavior. Maybe he thought he was dreaming."
She said, "I'll ask him when he wakes up. No need to call the police yet, okay?"
She thought, let's just get over this first.
Xiao Lanting walked over to Yu Fangeng and observed him, saying, "I won't call the police."
He turned around and added, "But you have to tell the truth."
Shen Zhiyi's heart skipped a beat, and she felt like "this moment has finally come."
Meeting his deep and profound eyes, Shen Zhiyi's heart was shaken.
She said, "It's not that I don't want to tell you, but you won't believe me even if I tell you."
The man sat down casually, calm and composed, and said, "Tell me about it."
Shen Zhiyi glanced around.
Xiao Lanting said at the right moment: "The others go out and guard."
The bodyguards received the order and all retreated.
A smile appeared on his lips, and his eyes showed indulgence: "Can you tell me now?"
At this point, Shen Zhiyi felt that nothing he said could fool him, so he might as well tell it out loud and let him figure it out for himself.
But the power of language is limited. As the saying goes: seeing is believing.
"Close your eyes first."
Xiao Lanting was silent for two seconds, and without asking for the reason, he closed his eyes.
The world seemed to become quieter because he closed his eyes, so quiet that it seemed as if he had suddenly entered another world.
At this moment, Shen Zhiyi had a calm expression, and the whole person seemed to be bathed in holy light.
A trace of blood gushed out from her index finger and floated in the air.
Sparkling golden light flowed in the direction of the blood drop. She used her hand as a pen and the blood as ink, writing with a single, smooth stroke, quickly creating a talisman dotted with golden light.
Three seconds later, she put down her brush and waved it lightly, and the talisman penetrated into Xiao Lanting's eyebrows.
His brows furrowed, as if he felt something strong. After a brief moment of discomfort, his eyes opened consciously.
Shen Zhiyi said, "I used a Sky Eye Talisman on you. Basically, you can see everything I can see. But since you haven't practiced it before, you may feel a little uncomfortable the first time you use it, like dizziness, headache, or blurred vision. Don't worry, you will return to normal after the effect of the talisman has passed."
After she finished speaking, she was mentally prepared to be ridiculed and laughed at by Xiao Lanting.
I couldn't hear his voice for a long time, and thought he was feeling unwell, so I turned around to observe him.
When I turned around, I met his deep gaze, which was serious and earnest, without any doubt or joke.
"Where did you learn this?"
"You believe it?"
There was no target in the room, and he hadn't seen her, so how could he believe her so easily?
Xiao Lanting frowned slightly: "Answer my question."
"Didn't I tell you that I grew up in a Taoist temple? Naturally, I was influenced by what I saw and heard, and I'm naturally gifted. But, if you see those things, don't blame me for deliberately scaring you. Otherwise, you won't believe me."
"The talisman is only effective for one hour. Come on, I'll take you to see something unusual, and then I'll tell you about Yu Fangeng."
"No need."
Shen Zhiyi stopped at his words, "Hmm?"
"I believe it."
There was nothing false in his expression.
Shen Zhiyi was shocked for a long time before he calmed down. Without saying anything, he walked up to Yu Fanggeng and gently brushed his fingers across his eyebrows. A faint golden light flashed and then disappeared.
She called out, "Yu Fangeng."
The man lying on the ground immediately gasped and woke up.
Xiao Lanting, who witnessed the whole process, had a darker look in his eyes.
"He's awake now, so it's more appropriate for him to speak."
Yu Fanggeng's eyes flickered back and forth between the two of them. He was puzzled at first, then he remembered his uncontrollable behavior just now, and suddenly said excitedly: "That wasn't me, it wasn't me!"
"I know it's not you. Tell Mr. Xiao what you know."
"Tell him?"
Yu Fanggeng looked at her with a look that said, "Are you okay?"
Shen Zhiyi said: “It doesn’t matter, he is not an outsider.”
At this moment, something unspeakable flashed in Xiao Lanting's eyes.
After hearing this, Yu Fanggeng finally let go of the grudge in his heart and confessed how Xiao Yigan had killed his sister Yu Fanli. He then said, "Just now, when I was half asleep, I felt my mind suddenly became very unclear. A man's voice kept ordering me to do things, asking me to burn the house down. I knew I couldn't do it, but I just couldn't control my body. It was like the powerlessness of sleep paralysis. I guess Xiao Yigan must have hired someone to use evil magic to control me again. They took my hair and personal belongings. I was controlled by them last time and almost died."
Shen Zhiyi looked at Xiao Lanting, sizing up his expression.
If an ordinary person heard these words, he would probably laugh and interrupt Yu Fanggeng before he even finished listening, and then walk away without caring.
However, Xiao Lanting listened carefully and then asked, "Are you sure your sister was killed by him?"
"I'll stake my entire life on it!" Yu Fanggeng's eyes flushed red instantly, his voice choking with anger and sorrow. "My sister was only 25 at the time. Her prime years were ruined by him, simply because she witnessed him cheating! He strangled my sister to death before she even told anyone!"
Xiao Lanting, like a ruthless judge, remained expressionless as he said, "Without evidence, everything you say is false."
"It's almost there. Maybe there will be progress tomorrow." Shen Zhiyi interrupted, "I organized this live broadcast to lure the insider out. The forensic doctor from that year has contacted me. She knows a lot."
