The Republic of China Conspiracy Records

Chapter 219 Unraveling the Link (8)

I nodded again, and Li Yu's eyes turned cold, "Then if this is the case, if you want to prove that what you said is true, there must be another person here besides the two of us and a dead body. Then, we Let's find out where this person is!"

What he said was all reasonable, since Li Yu and I did not drag the corpse, there must be another person to drag it.We were outside the door when the corpse was moved, and there is no second door here, so the person who moved the corpse could not have left under our noses, so he must still be "in prison".

Now that this is clear, Li Yu and I searched from the place closest to the gate, so as to prevent someone from sneaking away from the outside when we first searched inside.We searched carefully one by one, even tore down the beds, and made sure that the ground under our feet was solid, and there was no way anyone could hide in it.

When the entire "prison" was searched, an entire hour had passed, and the final result was that there was no third person in the entire "prison" except the two of us and a corpse!
In order to prevent any tampering between the two of us, we exchanged each other after we checked one room, and re-checked the places that the other party checked.But even so, the person who should have existed was still not found.The more I searched to the end, the more flustered I became. When I finally searched the entire "big prison", my clothes were soaked through.

Li Yu walked out of the last cubicle in his row and stood in the middle of the aisle waiting for me.I also walked out of the small room on my side, and the moment I walked out, I couldn't help but tremble, since this person who can prove what I said is true does not exist at all, otherwise it will naturally prove that what I said is true imaginary.

If the person who dragged Shu Xu's body did not exist, then it is obvious that I, who came here before Li Yu, must be the murderer who killed Shu Xu.This is a conclusion that anyone can easily come to, but the question is, don't I know if I killed or not?

When I was in Jiaoling Town, I also fell into the trap of killing someone, but that was when I didn't kill someone but mistakenly thought I had killed someone.In the current situation, could it be that I killed someone but mistakenly thought I didn't?But when I came in earlier, there was clearly no corpse here, so how did this corpse suddenly appear? It couldn't have grown out of the ground, could it?
The more I thought about it, the more confused I became. Li Yu stared at me for a while, then suddenly smiled and said: "If I hadn't seen the corpse with my own eyes, your behavior really made me believe that you are innocent."

"Whether you believe it or not, there was no dead body here when I came in earlier." I still bite the bullet.

"It doesn't matter whether I believe it or not. The fact is that this corpse is right in front of our eyes." Li Yu replied, "So let's go, you are Bu Ying's friend, you better not let me get rough."

"I won't resist, just go to the police station with you." With a pale face, I followed Li Yu out of the door, got into the car driven by Li Yu, and drove all the way to the police station.When I arrived at the police station, I thought Li Yu would let Bu Ying and others come to see me, but he didn't mention it at all.

Later, I couldn't resist asking him where Buying was, but he looked at me meaningfully and said, "They're not at the police station—maybe they went out to eat shabu-shabu."

I thought to myself that even if they went out for dinner, they would come back later, so I waited patiently, but who would have thought that I waited until the lights of the police station came on at noon, and Bu Ying and others never came back.When Li Yu brought me dinner, I finally knew from his eyes that something was wrong.

Li Yu looked at me with some sympathy, and my heart sank when I saw this. In fact, I had thought of this possibility a long time ago, but I just kept forcing myself not to think about it.But now that Li Yu looked at me like this, I had to think about that—the reason why Bu Ying and others did not show up for a long time was not because they hadn't come back yet, but because Bu Xiangkong didn't allow them to show up.

Then I think that Bu Xiangkong insisted that I bring Jindi to see Shu Xu, and when I was going to look for Jindi, Bu Xiangkong firmly refused to allow Ji Mingmei and Bu Ying to go with me. It's clear at a glance.Why did Li Yu appear by coincidence, and why Shu Xu's body also appeared as soon as he appeared.These questions can all be explained in one sentence.

All of this was arranged by Bu Xiangkong!

The only thing that puzzles me is why Bu Xiangkong asked someone to take me away when I first arrived in front of the house that Zheng re-bought. Could it be that his original arrangement was to place the blame on Jindi?But this is not right, because if so, why did I bear the charge in the end?

When I got there, Jin Di was no longer there. Could it be that some agreement was reached between the two, so Bu Xiang idling and pushed me out?Most importantly, how did Shu Xu's body appear there out of thin air?

"Guhuai Prison" is not like Zhang Ning's hut. There are two rooms that can move freely, so people or corpses will come and go.That is a huge space, and there is no way it will be moved.So how did the corpse appear out of nowhere?
When I first looked at the pit, there was clearly no corpse in it.Even if the body was buried at the bottom of the pit and I didn't find it, but it appeared in the pit later, someone must dig it out.Therefore, there must be a person in the "big prison" at that time in order to reasonably explain all this.

But this person just doesn't exist.Even though I have some doubts about Li Yu's coincident appearance now, I can't deny that we checked carefully at that time.According to our inspection method, if there is someone inside, they will never escape the search.Of course, if Li Yu can hide this "person" on him, it can also explain all this, but this is too ridiculous.

I finished my dinner without any appetite, Li Yu put the plate aside, and sat down opposite me, "Tell me, how did you kill Shu Xu, and why did you kill him?"

I didn't kill the man, and I just wanted to be frank and lenient, but I couldn't talk about it, so I had to stare at him.Li Yu and I stared wide-eyed and small-eyed for a long time, seeing that I had no intention of speaking at all, we had to ask again: "Then why did you appear there, you always know that, right?"

I told Bu Xiangkong that I was going to find Jindi. Li Yu felt thoughtful after hearing this, touched his chin and said: "So before you, this woman named Jindi also went there, and the time Almost the same?"

I nodded, and Li Yu suddenly laughed out of nowhere, "Then I really want to congratulate you, because now there is another possibility - the person may have been killed by Jindi. The death time of the corpse Within an hour when we discovered it, both you and Jindi were suspected."

Although there was an extra person to share the suspicion for me, I couldn't be happy at all. Instead, I asked Li Yu: "It doesn't matter who killed the person, but what happened to the corpse? Why didn't I see the corpse when I first entered?" ?”

"You want to know what's going on?" Li Yu's eyes flashed, "It's very simple, you are lying. In fact, you saw the corpse when you first entered, but you didn't mention it on purpose in order to hide it for Jin Di. Tell me that there is no one inside. But you didn't expect that I would go in to check, so things went wrong."

What he said was actually trying to excuse me.I was stunned when I heard the words, and I couldn't help but look at him again, feeling more and more puzzled in my heart.Looking at it now, all his actions are naturally inspired by Bu Xiangkong. If this is the case, is Bu Xiangkong trying to frame me, or does he not want to frame me?
If he said he didn't want to frame me, he clearly made me a suspect in the murder; if he said he wanted to frame me, now Li Yu took the initiative to excuse me, saying that the murderer might be someone else.What the hell is he trying to do!
My mind was in a state of confusion right now, while Li Yu continued to speak, "Of course, it's not yet clear who the murderer is. But one thing is for sure, it's either you or her!"

When fighting for life and death in a duel in classical novels, this sentence is often said, "It's either you or me!" The situation with Jindi and I is the same now, for a serious crime of murder, either she dies or I die.But judging from the strange appearance of Shu Xu's corpse, I actually doubt that Shu Xu was killed by neither me nor Jindi.

I think the reason why there is a dead body is that Bu Xiangkong needs to use this dead body to convict us.But what is his purpose?
Bu Xiangkong has been guiding us all along, making us feel that Jindi is the person behind those events, but this is all his one-sided words, what if what he said is not true?The more I thought about it, the more frightened I became. If Jindi and I were both imprisoned, and even because of Shu Xu's death, we were going to die, wouldn't our badges all fall into his hands?

Gu Yin's badge is also on Jindi, so she and I have three badges together.And Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei each have one, adding up to five, as long as they get the one on Hu Xiaotian's body, they can gather all six plaques to form the seal of the Six Arts Club.

Although I am currently the only person who is qualified to be the leader of the Six Arts Association, if I am punished for illegal activities, it is conceivable that the Six Arts Association will inevitably need to re-elect a leader.And if Bu Xiangkong had these six plaques by then, it would be a matter of course for him to become the leader.

What's more, at that time, Jin Di strongly asked everyone to hand over the sign to me, and even Hu Xiaotian agreed, but Bu Ying and Ji Mingmei did not agree.So, are these two people who are walking with me also plotting against me?
I was so confused by my thoughts, my face naturally couldn't look any better.Seeing this, Li Yu didn't say anything, but stood up, took the dinner plate and got up and went out. Before leaving, he said that he wanted to summon Jindi to the police station for questioning.After an unknown amount of time, I was still in a daze in the interrogation room, but Li Yu pushed the door open again and walked in.

He told me that Jin Di had also come to the police station, and she also denied the murder just like me.What we "committed" was a serious crime of homicide. We could only be interrogated temporarily in the interrogation room, and we were about to be transferred to the detention center. He came in to detain us and go to the detention center.I listened numbly to his words and stood up. When I walked out of the interrogation room, I happened to meet Jindi.

She was also guarded by a policeman. When I saw her, I asked her about going to "Guhuai Prison".She told me that when she walked into the "Guhuai Prison" alone, she found that there was no one there, so she turned back and went home, thinking that I would look for her again, but the police finally came.As for Shu Xu's death, she really didn't know about it.

Li Yu and the others didn't scold us, and let us speak.After Jindi finished speaking, she came to ask me what was going on, and I told her what happened to me. After listening to Jindi, she also felt incredible.I felt a little guilty towards her, if I hadn't gone to find her, and according to what Bu Xiangkong said, she must go to see Shu Xu, how could she have fallen into such a state at this moment.

So I vaguely revealed to her that these things might have something to do with Bu Xiangkong.After hearing this, Jindi was angry and anxious, and asked Li Yubu where Xiang Kong was, and asked him to come see her.Li Yu just didn't listen, and went directly with another policeman to escort us to the detention center.

Because it is only a temporary detention, the detention center does not distinguish between male and female prisons.Li Yu also gave us some preferential treatment and locked us in the two innermost cells facing each other in the detention center.Apart from me in my cell, there was only one person lying on the straw mat all the time.As for Jindi, she shared a room with another woman, and what I never expected was that this person was Xiuhong!
Seeing me and Jindi walking in, Xiuhong's face changed drastically.She didn't look so distressed when she was taken away, but she was trembling when she saw us walking in, and before I walked into the cell opposite her, she asked eagerly, "Why did you come in !"

I gave her a weird look, she was the direct cause of the tragedy of the Wei family, and it was all thanks to her that my family was destroyed.But when she saw me walking into the detention center, she actually had an extremely concerned expression on her face?Xiuhong came to her senses when she saw the look in my eyes, she put away her concerned expression, and said in a frivolous tone again: "Yo, why did you come in?"

No matter how much she pretended, she couldn't erase the confusion that that expression just gave me.I thought that along the way, there were all kinds of signs that the people behind the scenes were trying their best to send me to the position of the leader of the Six Arts Association.At this moment, I saw Xiuhong's expression again, and I couldn't help but have an absurd thought in my heart. It seems that Xiuhong did all this for me.

This is naturally impossible, there is no reason in this world to harm his whole family for someone's benefit.But the concern on her face just now was definitely not fake, so what's going on?
I suppressed my suspicions and walked into the cell, and Jin Di also silently walked into Xiuhong's room.I don't know if these two people know each other, anyway, Xiuhong didn't say a word when she saw Jindi walk in.After Li Yu sent us here, he left immediately, leaving the three of us staring at each other.

After a long time, Xiuhong looked at me and asked softly, "Why did you come in?"

The expression on her face when she said these words was completely different from that just now, it could be called gentle as water, and she didn't mean to laugh at me.My heart became more and more weird, I didn't know how to reject her sternly, I couldn't react in my mind for a while, and I actually told her the matter.

After hearing this, Xiuhong's expression also changed, and she said angrily, "So Bu Xiangkong also wants to be the leader!" As she spoke, her brows became anxious again, and she turned around and asked Jindi, " Bu Xiangkong also wants to fight for the position of leader, so what do you think about this!"
