Chapter 165: Inquiry

Lan Yi would tell her life story because of Chu Xinyu's trust in her. During the days when she returned to Beijing, she saw everything Chu Xinyu wanted to do, remembered it in her heart, and did it with all her heart.

The second most powerful representatives of the two cities in Jinjing, King Qin and Marquis of Beiping, are the former, the girl's cousin, and the latter is the girl's future husband. As long as she continues to follow the girl, she will definitely seek justice for the Xiang family.

Chu Xinyu pondered for a while, looked at Lan Yi and said, "Have you ever thought that it might be dangerous to follow me?"

Lan Yi shook her head and said, "I'm not afraid. I've encountered even more dangerous things, not to mention that my life was saved by the girl."

She was chased at that time. If the girl hadn't saved her life, how could she be today? Her life was the girl's. Now the person the girl wants to deal with is her enemy. She decided to advance and retreat with the girl.

Chu Xinyu nodded slightly. Lan Yi followed her for two years and was very familiar with each other's habits. It is rare that she has this loyalty. The two also have a common goal, so it is convenient to do things in the future.

But she received too much news all at once. She needed to sort it out quietly and said: "It's already very night. You go down and rest first. There is something waiting for you to do tomorrow."

"Okay." Lan Yi nodded and got up and walked out. Zhubo happened to come in. She told Zhubo not to go in and disturb Chu Xinyu, then walked out and closed the door.

Chu Xinyu sat at the desk, took a blank piece of rice paper, grind the ink and dipped it in his own pen, drew a relationship diagram on it, and linked these people together and studied them carefully.

This Zheng Ying is Xu Zhilan's man. Maybe he had already stood on the side of King Jin. Maybe it was the secret line that King Jin placed beside his father. After his father had an accident, he took over his father's military power, so King Jin had more help.

Therefore, if she wanted to expose Xu Zhilan's conspiracy, this person could not die and had to capture him. However, it was not convenient for her to participate in the matters in the court. It seemed that she wanted to talk to the King of Qin to let him know what Xu Zhilan was secretly planning.

But when she returned to the bedroom to sleep, she couldn't sleep. The faces of her father and sister flashed through her mind, and she remembered Sister Yao and her daughter again. It seemed that something was stuffed into her chest and could not relieve it.

In fact, sometimes living people work harder than dead people. She really wants to ask, Xu Zhilan killed so many people for her own selfish desires. How did she let herself fall asleep peacefully every night? Didn’t she ever think that the unjust souls of those dead people would seek her life?

Since she is rebirth, she should know that everything in the world has a cycle of cause and effect. If this continues, there will be retribution sooner or later!

As I thought about it, I then thought of Lin Chenyao. I wonder what was going on with him? Did Sister Yao tell him what she said when she was dying?

How could those people find Sister Yao so quickly? Sister Yao has been hiding her for so long, and no one can recognize her. If Lin Chenyao hadn't said she wanted to find her, her family would probably not have encountered an accident so soon.

When she thought of this, she found that she really couldn't sleep. Instead of waiting for dawn with her eyes open, she might as well get up and do something. Unexpectedly, when she remembered, she suddenly saw a black shadow standing beside the bed, and her heart was so scared that she almost jumped out.

How did this person come in? She didn't notice it at all?!

But when she calmed down, it turned out to be Lin Chenyao, and her heart that had jumped back to normal.

Lin Chenyao was covered in cold air. It was obvious that he had just come in from outside. His clothes on his shoulders seemed wet, as if they were wet by the dew outside.

"Why are you here?" It's almost dawn now. Isn't he afraid of being seen by others?

"Get up, I have something to ask you." After Lin Chenyao said that, he turned around and walked towards the study.

Chu Xinyu stared at his tall back and blinked. Why did she think this man was in her room very naturally? Look at what he just said, and the tone seemed to be his master, and she was just a slave he could call at any time.

Too much!

He is a man, how can he come and go freely in her house?

Fortunately, the pajamas she wore last night were more conservative, otherwise he would have seen everything.

However, she didn't remember that she had been seen by him not long ago.

Chu Xinyu got up and opened the wardrobe, wore a light purple embroidered plum blossom top coat, paired with a white pleated skirt, and tied her long hair with a strap, and put on her own special slippers.

Looking out from the window, a bright star hanging on the gray sky.

Chu Xinyu walked into the study and saw Lin Chenyao standing in front of the desk, holding a portrait in his hand. It was a portrait of Hu Tianba.

"Sister Yao..."

She just spoke halfway, but was interrupted by his words.

"Who is he?" Lin Chenyao asked with the painting in his hand.

"Hu Tianba."

Lin Chenyao frowned, looked down at the portrait again, then raised his eyes and asked her, "What did you want to say just now?"

Chu Xinyu walked forward and said, "What's wrong with Sister Yao?" He sent Lan Yi to follow him secretly, fearing that he would find something, so he pretended not to know about Sister Yao's situation.

Lin Chenyao stared at her, "Didn't your maid tell you?"

Chu Xinyu was stunned, then coughed awkwardly, afraid that he would misunderstand, and explained: "I'm just worried about you, let her go and see the situation. If you can help, please help."

"She said you know everything." Lin Chenyao said.

"..." Chu Xinyu realized after a while. The "she" he said was referring to Sister Yao, and then said, "Has she ever told you anything? Lan Yi said to you when Sister Yao was dying."

Lin Chenyao said again, "She said you know everything."

When they rushed there, Wanfang was stabbed by the man in black. Although he was distracted by him and did not kill her immediately, it was because the sword was fatal and blood was flowing. When they dealt with the man in black, Sister Yao had only breathe.

"Sister Yao has told me a lot, I don't know if it will be useful to you." Chu Xinyu sat down and said to Lin Chenyao: "Put the portrait on the table."

Lin Chenyao handed her four portraits together.

Chu Xinyu took it, spread the portraits one by one, and then said, "Sister Yao said that Hu Tianba was given a chronic poison by his brother. About four and a half years ago, his poison was beyond help. Before his temporary death, he sent Sister Yao away. Two years ago, Sister Yao met Hu Tianba's cousin Amao. He told Sister Yao that Hu Tianba died and was killed by Xu Chenguang. At the same time, he also told Sister Yao that Xu Chenguang poisoned him.

Xu Chenguang joined their team halfway. This man was very smart and knew how to win people's hearts. After Hu Tianba's death, most of Hu Tianba's subordinates followed him. Sister Yao said that Hu Tianba would not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor would he kill women and children. He only killed corrupt officials and profiteers. Moreover, in the court, he only admired Fu San. Therefore, according to Amao, during the time when Mr. Fu San returned to Beijing, Hu Tianba had already died of poisoning, and he would never be able to rob Fu San."

Fu San is the name of Fu Shaode by outsiders.

Chu Xinyu said, picked up Hu Tianba's portrait and continued, "This is Hu Tianba, I drew it based on the description of Sister Yao."

She pointed to the other two portraits, "This is Xu Chenguang, this is Amao. You can take it and send someone to find these two people, but don't disturb others. I'm afraid that their eyes will be everywhere, like Sister Yao, we will find her here, but the people on the other side will know. Xu Chenguang may be using a pseudonym, but this person is very important to Fu San's murder. I suspect that he took Hu Tianba's subordinates to kill Master Fu San. Look at this portrait, is it very similar to him?"

After Chu Xinyu said that, he put the portrait wearing a mask together with Xu Chenguang's. The two figures were very similar, but the mask-wearing one held a scimitar. His sleeves were pulled up due to his movements, and a scorpion tattoo was revealed on the back of his wrist.

Lin Chenyao glanced at her twice, but did not answer her words, but pointed to the portrait wearing a mask, looked at her and asked, "Who is this person?"

Chu Xinyu said: "It was the girl in my dream who described the person who killed her to me. I drew him. I suspected that they were the same person. If Xu Chenguang was a masked person, then they might be the same group of people. If you want to know if it was the same person, just find Xu Chenguang and see if there is a scorpion tattoo on his wrist."

"This is too troublesome." Lin Chenyao said, wrapping up Xu Chenguang's portrait and masked portrait, "Give these two pictures to me, I'll let someone confirm them."

"But..." Chu Xinyu was about to say yes, but he swallowed the words behind him back and said anxiously: "Who do you want to confirm it to? Xu... Fu Yinghua is right? You can't show it to her!"

After saying that, she almost rushed over and grabbed his rolled up painting.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly. If he threw away the words as usual, he turned around and jumped out of the window, and it would be difficult to catch up if he wanted to chase them.

Lin Chenyao raised his eyebrows lightly, "Why can't it? She was at the scene and witnessed everything happening, so she could confirm whether it was the murderer's easiest and most direct way."

"I don't trust her!" Chu Xinyu said her thoughts directly and no longer pretended to be stupid with him. If Miss Fu Er was not Xu Zhilan pretending to be her, but her, Lin Chenyao asked this way, it would be the easiest way.

Lin Chenyao looked at Chu Xinyu and said, "Why? She was at the scene at that time, wasn't she?"

"If you want to show it to her, I can guarantee that you will never be able to find out what happened back then, and Xu Chenguang may be silenced."

"Do you suspect that she killed her parents? Or colluded with these people to murder her parents?" Lin Chenyao heard Chu Xinyu say this, and his eyebrows gradually rose. He was slightly unhappy with Chu Xinyu's lack of evidence.

Although he had suspected that Fu Yinghua had changed too much with her childhood, which made him feel a sense of incongruity, the Fu Yinghua he knew was definitely not a ruthless person. Even if he grew up, his personality would change a lot, but he could not accept it. She was a person who could even kill his parents who gave birth to him.

When Chu Xinyu said that, he observed Lin Chenyao's expression quietly. Seeing his frown tightly, he knew in his heart that he did not believe his words, or that he did not believe that Fu Yinghua, whom he knew, would be a ruthless person, and she did not ask him to believe in himself immediately, as long as he could plant a seed of doubt in his heart.

She said, "I didn't say that, but everything depends on evidence. If you believe me, don't tell her about this for the time being. Also, don't tell her the evidence you found or any suspicious matters. You must remind Mr. Fu Wu to not tell her everything. If she really has a problem, you will never find it out."

Lin Chenyao's face was cold, and Hei Junjun's eyes were staring at her, "Evidence."

Chu Xinyu pursed her lips, thought for a while, and said, "I will give you the evidence, but not now, there is another thing to ask you, do you know what the person who killed Sister Yao?"

"shadow."

"Shadow?" Chu Xinyu frowned, sounding like a killer organization.

Lin Chenyao's answer confirmed her idea. He said in a cold voice: "It is a killer organization that has only risen in the world in recent years. This organization is very mysterious, acts ruthlessly, only depends on money and does things, and always pursues a style of work to eliminate the roots."

What he meant was that the person who killed Sister Yao might bid for Shadow's killer.

But Sister Yao's family is just an ordinary person and has no martial arts skills, so why do they need to mobilize so many people? If they knew that they would meet Lin Chenyao's people tonight, they would be different. They wanted to rely on the number of people to kill the witness first.

However, Lin Chenyao's words gave Chu Xinyu a message, if these people were Shadow Killer Organization, then Zheng Ying would be a member of the Shadow Killer Organization?

shadow……

Chu Xinyu recited a few words in his heart, raised his eyes and asked him: "Damn Shadow's Killer, does it have a snake-shaped tattoo on the back of his neck?"

Lin Chenyao nodded. It was the first time he had fought with Shadow people, but Gui Ye knew very well that each Shadow Killer had a snake-shaped tattoo on the back of his neck.

Sure enough, this killer organization is related to Xu Zhilan, and Zheng Ying is a Shadow's person.

If these people come from the killer organization, then she has more reason to believe that in order to get the Xiang family's "Seven Stars Drunken Soul" to control these killers, Xu Zhilan and the people behind her designed to frame the Xiang family. As long as the Xiang family disappears, no one will know about the "Seven Stars Drunken Soul".

Hundreds of lives have something to do with Xu Zhilan. How many people will she sacrifice for her own selfish desires and for the so-called glory and wealth?

If she was not exposed, the Duke of E would be implicated. It was her closest relative. She would never let her destroy the reputation of the Fu family's century-old family under the name of Fu Yinghua.

Chu Xinyu thought for a while and said, "I want you to check someone. If this person can prove it is related to the shadow, then you will naturally understand without me saying anything."

"who?"

Chu Xinyu said: "Zheng Ying, he was originally the deputy general of Master Fu San, and now he is the left assistant censor and general of the Zhejiang Censorate. He has a snake-shaped tattoo on the back of his neck. He never wore his upper body naked, nor would he go to the bathhouse with his colleagues. He might be trying to hide the tattoo on his body."

At this point, she didn't care about so much. As long as he checked Zheng Ying, everything would be clear.

Lin Chenyao frowned, "Do you suspect he is a shadow person? Also, how did you know there was a tattoo on the back of his neck?"
