Chapter 552 Sword Heart
The next morning, Cai Zhenli prepared breakfast.
Liang Yushan got up early and went downstairs as usual as he went to work.
When Cai Zhenli saw him, she seemed to have thought of something and took out a yellowed piece of paper and a piece of cut red cloth from her pocket and handed them to Liang Yushan.
"Commander Liang, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to open it and look at it."
Liang Yushan frowned: "What is this?"
Cai Zhenli did not attack Cai Xiaoxia last night. She returned to the house quietly. She threw the red cloth into a pile of rags and went to bed.
But she couldn't sleep, so she opened her sewing basket and started mending her clothes.
If she keeps herself busy, she won't think about all those random things.
A child who died young, a mother who pretended to be mute, a father who was a murderer on the run...she sewed them all together with fine needlework.
My mood gradually calmed down as I continued to sew.
After finishing one patch, she moved on to the next.
His hands casually touched the scraps of cloth, his rough, calloused hands sliding across the soft cloth, but stopped when he touched something slightly harder.
Cai Zhenli turned her head and saw the red cloth.
She picked it up out of curiosity and examined it, only to discover that this seemingly ordinary piece of red cloth actually had two layers sewn in the middle.
When she opened the red cloth, she found a yellowed piece of paper inside. There were some characters on it that she couldn't understand, and a child's footprint.
This must not be Xiaoxia's thing.
Cai Zhenli took the red cloth early in the morning and repeatedly asked Cai Xiaoxia, only then did she know that this was the red cloth she had pulled off from Tian Zihui's Buddhist shrine.
Cai Zhenli was afraid that Liang Yushan would find out that Xiaoxia was messing around and kick her and her daughter out, so she simply took the initiative to go to Liang Yushan with a red cloth to explain.
Liang Yushan took the yellowed paper and opened it to check.
Cai Zhenli bowed her head and apologized, "Commander Liang, I'm sorry. Xiaoxia was ignorant. I apologize on her behalf. I was very careful when I took it apart, and I will definitely be able to restore it."
Liang Yushan remained silent for a long time.
Cai Zhenli looked up cautiously and saw Liang Yushan's hand holding the paper... and it was shaking.
She looked up blankly, a mouthful of blood sprayed on her face, and the smell of blood instantly enveloped all her senses.
"Bang!"
Liang Yushan's head tilted and fell heavily to the ground.
"Commander Liang!"
——
Back to the present, the interrogation was interrupted. Xu Cheng was furious and was about to curse the person who broke in.
"Which grandson..."
After Xu Cheng saw who was coming, he swallowed the rest of the words neatly, his furious expression suddenly disappeared, and he became serious in a second.
He stood at attention and greeted respectfully, "Director Deng."
Deng Hongguang glared at the brat, then smiled and said to Ye Rou, "Comrade Ye Rou, you are here too."
Ye Rou nodded.
Deng Hongguang waved to Xu Cheng: "Come out with me."
Xu Cheng grumbled and complained, "Director Deng, why did you come at this time instead of earlier or later?"
"You little bastard, why are you talking so much nonsense? Shut up and come out."
Deng Hongguang slapped him on the back of the head, pressed his neck and dragged Xu Cheng out.
In the interrogation room, only Ye Rou and Tian Zihui, who had already woken up, were left.
She looked at Ye Rou warily, "What did you do to me just now?"
Ye Rou calmly took the golden needle and said, "You should know about hypnosis, Kenshin."
Tian Zihui paused in her denial and stared at Ye Rou sharply: "What did you call me?"
Ye Rou tied up her sewing kit, raised her head and stared at Tian Zihui, and said with a sly smile: "Jianshin, am I right?"
"I don't understand what you are saying." Tian Zihui started to play dumb.
Ye Rou smiled slightly and said to herself, "A few days ago, someone was imprisoned here."
Tian Zihui lowered her head and concentrated on fiddling with her fingers.
Ye Rou didn't need her to respond and continued, "That man is a spy from Country R. According to him, there is another spy hidden in Jing City for a long time, codenamed Jianxin."
Tian Zihui huddled in the darkness, his expression unclear.
"They all thought Kenshin was a man, and I was almost fooled by the name. First, I asked my grandfather, and he told me that Kenshin in Country R means a warrior holding a sharp blade while also harboring a compassionate heart."
Tian Zihui slowly raised his head and stared at Ye Rou with a gloomy look.
Ye Rou looked into her eyes and said word by word, "I'm beginning to suspect that Jian Xin might be a woman."
Tian Zihui remained silent.
Ye Rou continued, "Cai Gensheng's identity cannot withstand close scrutiny, and neither can yours. Therefore, you cannot stay with him. You can only flee."
Hearing this, Tian Zihui sneered: "Do you suspect that I am Kenshin?"
"Originally, only Xicheng was confident, but after the interrogation just now, I am now 80% sure."
Ye Rou playfully stretched out her hand and made the number eight gesture. With a slight turn of her fingertips, the number eight gesture turned into a mini pistol, pointing at Tian Zihui's head.
She tilted her head, opened her red lips slightly, and uttered an onomatopeia: "Bang!"
There was clearly no bullet, it was just a ridiculous gesture.
Tian Zihui felt as if she had been hit by a real bullet. A chill spread from her forehead to her entire body, and her body trembled slightly and shook continuously.
"What's wrong? Are you scared?" Ye Rou asked her softly.
"I'm scared?" Tian Zihui sneered. She raised her head suddenly, and the shackles on her wrists made a clanking sound. "Do you have any evidence?"
Seeing Ye Rou shaking her head, she laughed triumphantly.
"Without any evidence, are you trying to trick me into confessing?"
Her tone was full of sarcasm, as if she was laughing at Ye Rou's naivety.
"It's so noisy." Ye Rou picked her ears. Although the action was crude, it was particularly pleasing to the eye when she did it.
"My dear grandma, have you forgotten where this is?"
Tian Zihui frowned: "What do you mean?"
"You've committed murder. Based on the confession you just gave, plus the testimony of Cai Genshun and the thirteen victims, you're dead."
Ye Rou shook the record book and said with a smile: "Whether you are a swordsman or not, you will die. It's just a matter of sooner or later."
"You!" Tian Zihui was furious and slammed the handcuffs on the table in front of his chest.
"What are you arguing about!" The door was suddenly pushed open and Xu Cheng came back.
He glanced at Tian Zihui with a strange look.
Before Tian Zihui realized something was wrong, he quickly moved away and said to the police officer following him: "The interrogation ends here. Take her back."
"Yes!" Two policemen came in, uncuffed Tian Zihui and took her out of the interrogation room.
Tian Zihui stared at Ye Rou, unwilling to be pushed out.
Xu Cheng looked at Ye Rou with a strange look.
"What are you looking at?" Ye Rou asked him uncomfortably.
Xu Cheng forced out a complicated smile: "Master, Commander Liang is here."
Liang Yushan?
What is he here for?
Ye Rou looked at Xu Cheng in confusion: "Is he coming to see me or Tian Zihui?"
Xu Cheng shook his head, his expression complicated: "It's hard to explain it in a few words, Master, go meet him."
The suspense he kept successfully aroused Ye Rou's curiosity.
She followed Xu Cheng to meet Liang Yushan.
