Chapter 204 You are too stupid
"Old Master, you are right. Pei Yan definitely doesn't know the spell of resurrection, so I would like to ask you to go with us to Jingzhao Yinfu to meet Pei Lie." Jiang Yunxi said seriously.
When she was in Zhuangzi, she had thought about interrogating Pei Lie.
But if they ask, will he tell?
No, he won't say.
They could only take him back to the prison cell of Jingzhao Yinfu first, and then invite Old Tutor Pei to come over. Even if he went over, Pei Lie still might not tell anyone.
But the question still needs to be asked.
Pei Lie still has many things hidden in him.
"Okay, I'll go with you to see Pei Lie." Old Master Pei slowly calmed down. Pei Lie's mistake had already been made, and he should bear the due responsibility.
What made him most sad was Pei Heng.
He was so good and so young, why did the thieves take his life?
Pei Lie is confused.
A year ago, he should have told them the truth instead of pretending he was still alive and making an unforgivable mistake.
Jiang Yunxi looked at Lord Pei and Madam Pei, "You should take care of Pei Heng's funeral and let him rest in peace as soon as possible."
Lord Pei and Madam Pei nodded with tears in their eyes, both of them were in so much pain that they couldn't speak.
Not only did they lose Pei Heng, they also lost Pei Lie.
How could this happen?
Since childhood, the brothers have been the pride of their couple and they didn't need to worry about them at all, but now, one is dead and the other has committed a serious crime.
…
Jingzhao Yinfu.
Qu Xinwen took Jiang Yunxi, Zhan Beiyuan and others to the cell. At this moment, he admired Jiang Yunxi from the bottom of his heart. He didn't expect that in such a short time.
She solved another big case.
But he could never have imagined that the murderer of the female corpse case was actually the eldest son of the Pei family. After knowing the whole thing, he was even more shocked.
Resurrecting the dead is ridiculous!
In the cell.
Pei Lie sat quietly, no longer as gentle as before, but only decadent, as if he had lost all his life.
Jiang Yunxi knew why he was like this. The motivation that kept him going this year was to resurrect Pei Heng. Now that hope was gone, he naturally became like a deflated ball.
"Pei Lie, you are confused." Old Tutor Pei felt very sad when he looked at Pei Lie. He originally thought that Pei Lie was the person most like him and liked reading.
He will surely have a bright future as a civil servant.
But he never imagined that he would go down such a path of no return. He shouldn't have done that.
Pei Lie slowly looked up when he heard the familiar voice. When he saw it was his grandfather, his eyes reddened and he knelt on the ground, "Grandfather, Pei Lie is unfilial. Pei Lie is sorry for the Pei family."
He knew that he had committed a serious crime and harmed the Pei family.
The Pei family has a long history of learning, and is of high moral character and uprightness, but now, because of him, they will be cursed and their clean reputation will be tarnished.
Old Master Pei shook his head, his voice sad. "You've studied harder than anyone since you were little. You always said you wanted to be a good official who serves the people, but you ultimately took the wrong path. You're only sorry for yourself. You forgot your original intention, and instead of serving the people, you've hurt innocent people."
He felt sorry for him.
If he hadn't hidden anything a year ago, he would never have let him go astray.
But he concealed it.
One wrong step can lead to a descent into the abyss.
Pei Lie burst into tears upon hearing the sound. Yes, he had taken the wrong path, forgetting his original intention of studying and his brother's pursuit.
He killed innocent people in order to keep his body in good condition.
"Why do you want to resurrect Pei Heng?" asked Old Tutor Pei. On the way here, Jiang Yunxi told him to ask.
Pei Lie lowered his head. "Grandfather, Pei Heng shouldn't have died. If he hadn't followed me to that farm that day, he wouldn't have been killed by the thieves. That's why I want to resurrect him."
Old Master Pei felt a sharp pain in his chest. He knew that they had a good relationship as brothers, and it was normal that Pei Lie could not accept Pei Heng's death at that time.
But from what he knew about him, he was not the kind of crazy or whimsical person.
"The dead cannot be resurrected. You've read so many books, so you should know that clearly. You wouldn't think of resurrection, and you don't understand it at all."
"I..." Pei Lie said one word and stopped.
Jiang Yunxi took a few steps forward. "Someone told you this and brainwashed you, so you believed that the dead could be resurrected, and that's why you did this. Who was that person?"
Pei Lie shook his head. "I read it myself in a book. At the time, I couldn't accept Pei Heng's death, so I went to look through various ancient books to see if there was any way to save him. I saw a method of resurrection in the book."
"I don't believe it. Resurrection is not a simple thing. How could the book possibly talk about such a method?" Jiang Yunxi said coldly. She was not as easy to fool as a three-year-old child.
"Pei Lie, at this point, why don't you tell the truth?" Old Master Pei looked very disappointed. He couldn't imagine that he would be resurrected. Someone must have brainwashed him.
Pei Lie looked at him and said, "Grandfather, I'm telling the truth."
Old Master Pei was furious. "Okay, tell me which book you read this from. I want to see if it describes in detail how to resurrect the dead."
"I burned it after reading it. I knew that kind of book was banned." Pei Lie said calmly with his head down. The resurrection was outrageous in itself, and he didn't dare to take Pei Heng's body home.
So they had to leave his body at the Liao family, where it was hidden and safe.
The old lady blamed herself and felt guilty about Pei Heng's death. He said he wanted to put Pei Heng's body in her home. She did not refuse, and when she learned that he wanted to resurrect Pei Heng, she still persuaded him.
It says that the dead cannot be resurrected.
But he insisted on resurrecting Pei Heng, and because of her guilt, she was willing to help him take care of Pei Heng's body.
She would visit Pei Heng's body every day. Because of the special medicine used, there was indeed nothing wrong with his body at the beginning, but problems arose half a year ago.
In order to repair those skin problems, he learned that the skin on women's faces could be used, so he began to look for targets.
Because the skin of living people is better, he peeled off their faces while they were still alive.
"You didn't tell the truth because the other party was willing to help you resurrect Pei Heng, so you wouldn't expose the other party. But I just want to say that you are too stupid!" Jiang Yunxi said coldly.
Pei Lie didn't dare to look at anyone, he just lowered his head.
He was indeed grateful to the other party. If the other party had not appeared, he would have had no hope and could only sit on the mountain holding Pei Heng's body, not daring to take his body home.
Pei Heng died at that time, and he left with his body. He didn't dare go home and could only walk into the mountains.
As it was getting dark, a man appeared.
He told him that he could help him revive the dead person in his arms.
God knows how much of a surprise and shock this sentence was to him at that time. At that moment, his mind was full of resurrecting Pei Heng. He didn't want him to die, he wanted him to come back alive.
He is willing to do it no matter what the cost.
Afterwards, he brought Pei Heng's body back to the Liao family and asked the old lady to help him watch over it and conceal it. He returned to the Pei family, disguised himself as Pei Heng, and locked himself in the yard.
Everything was planned so perfectly.
