Chapter 190 Can you give me one?
"Have we met last night?" Jiang Yunxi asked deliberately. Although their faces were the same, their temperaments were different. One was cold and the other was gentle as jade.
So Pei Lie and Pei Heng are twins?
Otherwise, even if they are brothers, they cannot look the same.
"The person you met last night was my younger brother Pei Heng. I just told King Han that Pei Heng and I are twins." Pei Lie explained in a gentle voice.
"I see." Jiang Yunxi said as he sat down.
Pei Lie looked at her and said, "I'm sorry about what happened last night. A year ago, Pei Heng's personality changed drastically and he didn't want to see anyone. If you guys barged in suddenly, he would definitely be in a bad mood."
Jiang Yunxi asked, "Did something happen to him a year ago?"
Pei Lie said solemnly, "It should be, but he never told us. He suddenly changed."
"What does he like to do usually?" Jiang Yunxi asked casually.
"Pei Heng likes to wield swords and guns the most. He also likes to play the piano, and can read, write and paint." Pei Lie said lightly.
"He loves to wield swords and guns. That's really strange. Last night when we entered his room, we didn't see a single weapon. Does that mean he doesn't use martial arts anymore?" Jiang Yunxi expressed her doubts.
Logically speaking, since his temperament changed drastically and he locked himself up, he should have gotten more weapons and practiced with swords, knives, and guns in the yard when he had nothing to do.
"This, no way!" Pei Lie's face was full of surprise.
"Did something happen to him a year ago that made him unable to use force anymore, so he locked himself up and decided not to join the army?" Jiang Yunxi expressed her guess.
"Yes, that's definitely the case!" Zhan Luochen slapped the table and agreed.
Zhan Beiyuan looked at him with cold eyes.
Zhan Luochen had a flattering smile on his face, "Uncle, you must be thinking the same, right?"
Zhan Beiyuan's voice was cold, "He must have encountered something bad, which is why he, who loves to wield swords and guns, no longer touches weapons. This king wants to see him again."
"You may not be able to see him for a while. I went to look for him this morning, but there was no sound in the yard. I was worried that something had happened to him, so I had to push the door open. Pei Heng was not there, and he only left a letter."
"The letter said that he was going out to try his luck and told us not to worry. He would come back when he figured it out." Pei Lie said with a worried look on his face.
Jiang Yunxi's mouth twitched slightly, "Is it because we disturbed him last night?"
"Probably not..." Pei Lie shook his head.
"I guess so. He left because we suddenly broke in. I'm sorry." Jiang Yunxi said apologetically.
Pei Lie quickly said, "Miss Jiang, please don't think that way. You and Prince Han went in last night with my grandfather's permission. Pei Heng's departure has nothing to do with you."
Jiang Yunxi sighed, "After all, we were the ones who suggested breaking in because we were too curious."
Zhan Beiyuan: "..."
What is she singing?
"No, no, the Pei family doesn't blame you." Pei Lie said softly.
"Since Pei Heng ran away from home, can we go to his yard and take a look? Maybe we can find out why he stayed indoors a year ago." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
They only went into the house for a short while last night and didn't have time to look around any further.
"Okay." Pei Lie said without hesitation.
"Then let's go and take a look together." Jiang Yunxi said with a smile.
The group went directly to Pei's house.
The Pei family was not far from Zhan Luochen's palace, so Jiang Yunxi suggested walking there.
"Is there any new progress in the case of the female corpse at the Jingzhao Yinfu and Dali Temple?" Jiang Yunxi asked Zhan Beiyuan.
"Not yet. The other party hid his whereabouts too well and left no clues." Zhan Beiyuan said with a grim face. Now they can only start investigating from Huang Quan's ointment.
Jiang Yunxi said with a very positive attitude: "Don't worry, as long as the other party did something bad, there will definitely be traces left. Let's look for it carefully."
Those people who come to claim the bodies should ask them if there was anything unusual before they disappeared.
Zhan Beiyuan glanced at her and said, "Yeah."
The four of them soon arrived at Pei's house.
Pei Lie, Jiang Yunxi and the other two went straight to Pei Heng's yard.
Jiang Yunxi walked towards the wall where the paintings from last night were still hanging. "Second Young Master's paintings are great. Can you give me one?"
Pei Lie's face showed hesitation. "This, I can't make the decision..."
"I know this belongs to Pei Heng. How about this, give me one to take home and admire, and I'll return it in a few days." Jiang Yunxi still wanted to take a painting away.
Yu Qingwan's maid said that the other person was very good at painting and must have painted something for Yu Qingwan.
"Pei Lie, just let her take it back and have a look. She will return it in a few days anyway. Pei Heng shouldn't be back right away, right?" Zhan Luochen spoke up, there must be a reason why she wanted to draw it.
"I promise to return it." Zhan Beiyuan said.
"Miss Jiang, please take it. Just return it. The thing belongs to Pei Heng. I dare not give it away without permission. I hope you can understand." Pei Lie said apologetically.
"As the eldest brother, you respect your younger brothers very much." Jiang Yunxi said and picked a painting.
The four of them entered the house.
There were pens, ink, paper, books, and even a zither, but no weapons were found.
Sudden.
A black cat jumped in from the window and ran straight to Pei Lie without showing any signs of violence.
"Where did the cat come from?" Zhan Luochen took two steps back.
"It's Pei Heng's. I saw him last night." Jiang Yunxi looked at the cat and then at Pei Lie.
Pei Lie said, "He has been raising him for many years. When he was away, I took care of him."
Jiang Yunxi smiled faintly: "No wonder it didn't attack you. When King Han and I came in last night, it was particularly fierce and looked like it was going to attack."
Pei Lie squatted down, touched the black cat's head, and then let it go.
The black cat meowed, looked at Jiang Yunxi and the other two fiercely, and finally raised its tail and slowly left through the main gate.
"It's shy and will be very alert when it sees strangers." Pei Lie stood up and explained.
"Oh." Jiang Yunxi said and began to tour the house. Although there was a tinder last night, it was still very dark. Now he could see clearly.
The four of them looked around the room casually.
Jiang Yunxi wanted to find out if there were any secret passages, but she didn't find anything unusual after searching for a long time. Finally, she walked to the bookshelf, where there were all kinds of books, including some about marching and fighting.
"Young Master, are both of you brothers married?" She turned and looked at Pei Lie and asked.
"We haven't met the woman we like, so we haven't gotten married yet." Pei Lie said.
Jiang Yunxi touched his chin. "Where do you think Pei Heng will go? Will he leave the capital?"
Pei Lie's face was filled with thought. "He's probably left the capital. He's been locked up in this courtyard for the past year. If he goes out now, he definitely won't go looking for his old friends."
Jiang Yunxi said calmly: "The Pei family still has to find a way to find him. We can't see anything here for the time being."
After she finished speaking, she looked at Zhan Beiyuan and signaled that it was time to leave.
The four of them left quickly.
Pei Lie escorted them out of the Pei family.
Zhan Luochen sighed and said, "I don't have any clues. What happened to Pei Heng?"
