Cure the cold-faced general by solving crimes

Chapter 111 The truth back then

The moonlight shone into the wooden house, and Jiang Xihe's heart was beating loudly.

Footsteps sounded behind him, a gust of wind blew by, and Xie Chengshan appeared in front of Jiang Xihe dressed in black.

"What do you want to do again?" Xie Chengshan asked Xie Wumei sternly.

Xie Wumei was slightly startled. When he saw clearly that the person coming was Xie Chengshan, he pointed at Jiang Xihe with a smile, "It's the same as what dad saw."

The sound of horse hooves sounded outside the wooden house. Jiang Xihe turned to look outside the door. Only the faint light from the moonlight illuminated the shadows of the trees, and a horse brought by Xie Chengshan was wandering in the courtyard.

Xie Wumei quickly walked over and closed the door of the wooden house, then walked to the table and lit the candle, and there was a faint light in the wooden house.

Xie Chengshan frowned when he saw Jiang Xihe's bound feet and his bloody wrists soaked in blood.

Xie Wumei noticed that Xie Chengshan was a little unhappy, so she took Xie Chengshan's arm flatteringly, smiling, "Dad, why are you here?"

"How would I know you brought people here if I didn't come?" Although Xie Chengshan looked helpless, his tone softened.

Xie Wumei looked at Jiang Xihe, "I originally wanted her to disappear from this world, but now I don't want to."

Xie Chengshan glanced at Jiang Xihe, then at Xie Wumei, "What are you going to do? Let her go back like this? Do you think Pei Zhizhao will give up?"

Xie Wumei's smile faded, and a hint of mischief flashed in his eyes, "Why don't we leave her in Huiren?"

Xie Chengshan's face became increasingly gloomy, "How is that possible? Do you think Pei Zhizhao won't look for her? Jiang Xifeng won't look for her? Ping'an County is such a big place. Didn't anyone see you take Jiang Xihe back to Huiren Medical Center?"

Xie Chengshan's anger grew stronger and stronger, "Do you think this is still in a medical clinic? Jiang Xihe is Liu Quanan?"

Xie Wumei's face became increasingly ugly, "What did I do wrong? Jiang Xihe found out that I appeared here five years ago and imprisoned Azhen. I just wanted to understand these things. What did I do wrong?"

Just as Jiang Xihe was debating whether to speak, Xie Wumei screamed, took out a short dagger from his sleeve, and stabbed her wrist, causing blood to flow. Xie Chengshan hurriedly helped her hold the edge of the knife, "What do you want to do? "

Xie Wumei had tears in her eyes, "Dad, you yelled at me because of this woman. Yes, I am not as useful as I was when I was a child, but I am your daughter, not someone else, not the child in your belly."

Xie Chengshan held Xie Wumei's wrist with both hands, his heartache not seeming to be fake, "I said, the child in Zhen's belly is not mine."

Xie Wumei screamed, "How could it not be yours? Don't I know who A-Zhen comes into contact with on a daily basis? She has hardly stepped out of the medical center in the past seven years. I don't know what you did to her? Dad? Wake up Wake up, that child is yours."

"But I am your daughter. When will Azhen's child grow up? I have lost my mother, and I don't want to lose my father." Xie Wumei cried sadly.

Jiang Xihe watched all this blankly. She was dumbfounded by the actions of the Xie family's father and daughter.

Xie Chengshan said nothing, and stroked Xie Wumei's hair with his big hands. After a while, he said, "You are always so impulsive. I didn't say anything, but you started hurting yourself."

Xie Wumei raised his eyes, with tears still hanging in the corners of his eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Dad, what should we do now?"

Jiang Xihe took the initiative and said loudly before they could speak, "You can leave me here to fend for myself. No one knows this place. I will starve to death sooner or later. I have nothing to do with you. I only have one request. Before I die, You let me know the truth about the case five years ago."

Xie Chengshan looked slightly startled and looked at Xie Wumei, "What did she say?"

Xie Wumei is still considering Jiang Xihe's suggestion. She thinks it is feasible. This abandoned wooden house is hidden in the mountain forest, and even hunters who often walk in the mountains don't know it.

If Jiang Xihe is left here, she will starve to death in less than three days. During these three days, she can hold off Pei Zhizhao and Jiang Xifeng. After this period of time, even if Jiang Xihe is found, he has become a corpse. The dead cannot speak.

As for Pei Zhizhao doubting her, it would be useless. There is no evidence to prove that she starved Jiang Xihe to death.

Seeing that Xie Wumei was in a daze, Xie Chengshan raised his voice and asked again, "What does she know?"

Xie Wumei came back to her senses, looked at Xie Chengshan, then at Jiang Xihe, and remembered something, "Jiang Xihe, what do you mean when you said that person five years ago was me?"

Xie Chengshan stared at Jiang Xihe suspiciously, his expression exactly the same as that day in the courtroom.

The clues in Jiang Xihe's mind suddenly came together. Xie Wumei knew the location of the wooden house, and Xie Chengshan also knew that Pei Ruoyun's body was found not far away, and Xie Wumei also appeared at the crime scene that year.

Jiang Xihe understood everything in an instant. The murderer who killed sister Pei back then might be the two people in front of him.

Jiang Xihe couldn't care less whether Pei Zhizhao was around or not. She was already so shocked that her teeth were chattering, and her wrists were stinging. The blood and ropes had condensed together. At this moment, Jiang Xihe's embarrassment turned into anger. She asked sharply, "Were you the murderers back then?"

Xie Chengshan leaned towards Jiang Xihe and lowered his head slightly. Jiang Xihe could see the green stubble on his chin, a tear mole under his eyebrow, and the burning madness in his eyes.

Xie Wumei smiled and said, "So what? You are going to die anyway, what does it matter whether you know or not?"

Jiang Xihe said resolutely, "How can it be the same? I know you are the murderer, and I want to know the reason. That person has no enmity with you, why did he kill her?"

Xie Wumei laughed loudly, "Why? There is no reason why."

Jiang Xihe bit her lower lip and tried to suppress her anger, "But you were only nine years old at that time. How did you kill that person?" Jiang Xihe understood something again and asked tentatively, "You killed that person here, right?"

Thinking that Sister Pei had been insulted by Xie Chengshan, Jiang Xihe wanted to kill him.

Anger turned into grief, and Jiang Xihe's eyes turned red.

Xie Wumei sneered, "What happened to me at nine years old? She believed in me when I was nine. She believed that I was lost without even asking, and even sent me back to the cabin. What's the point of living in this world for such a fool?"

"So you killed her?"

Jiang Xihe is still confused, what is Xie Wumei's motive? Why kill Pei Ruoyun who was just passing by?

The argument between the two people fell into the ears of Xie Chengshan. He pondered slightly, as if recalling the past. Xie Wumei didn't want to talk nonsense anymore, grabbed Xie Chengshan's sleeve and begged, "Dad, let's go. If it's too late, the city gate will be closed. I think it’s very good to leave Jiang Xihe here, she will definitely starve to death within three days.”

Jiang Xihe was unwilling to give in and still asked, "You haven't said yet, why did you kill someone? Why did you kill that woman?"

Xie Wumei held Xie Chengshan's arm and showed a hint of indifference, "Because I like it, okay? I like to be the one who ends their fate. Isn't that enough?"

Tears flowed into Jiang Xihe's eyes. Pei Zhizhao had been living in pain for so many years. The Pei family was ruined, but Xie Wumei said he liked it and ignored those years lightly.

However, regardless of the outcome, Xie Wumei now admitted that she and Xie Chengshan were the murderers.

The door of the wooden house was suddenly kicked open. Jiang Xihe did not look back. The sound of chaotic footsteps sounded. She knew that Pei Zhizhao must have brought someone here, and everything was over.
