There was no danger or incident for two days in a row, and Gongsun Hongye and the other female family members gradually stopped being worried.
Li Shixia was still obsessed with the massacre of the Qi family, and discussed the case with Xie Yuanqian when she returned home.
"Yuan Qian, there are three suspects left. Who should we look for first tomorrow?"
The prince is escorted by national player Zhou Xing and chess attendant Gong Fei.
First of all, you can eliminate the prince's guards. Why?
Because the situation is not right. The whole Yu Kingdom is in chaos now. The prince's bodyguards are not in the palace to protect the prince and he has come out to kill everyone in the house?
Do you think the royal family's treatment is too good?
Isn't it possible that the prince wants to get rid of this chess player?
…
This question is a bit too cute and I don’t want to explain it.
Of the remaining two, Zhou Xing is more suspicious than the chess player.
"Let's check Zhou Xing first."
Gongsun Hongye devoted himself to training, Qiaozhu and Ali took turns taking care of him, and Xie Yuanqian could only guard the empty room alone.
This Xie Yuanqian, while beeping that gold fingers are valuable, at the same time refused to develop them seriously.
It's really silly to lie down.
Xie Yuanqian originally planned to recruit three typists in the near future, but Emperor Yu issued a summons and issued a summons. Now is the time to do such a thing. It is more important to preserve the family property.
Another night of silence, the red sun rises in the east.
Today, Xie Yuanqian and Li Shixia have to patrol first and then go to Zhou Xing for questioning.
Fortunately, since what happened with Qi Feng, everyone in Yumo Lane has been in danger and dare not let outsiders enter the Cave Heaven Paradise easily, so there has been no more trouble.
Moreover, Zhou Xing also lives in Yumo Lane, which saves them a lot of effort.
Zhou Xing's Cave Paradise seems to be on the same level as Qi Feng's, but the scenery here is elegant.
Bamboo forest and river, garden pond with fish, incense burner and guqin.
What a worldly and elegant appearance.
? This faint smell? I seem to have smelled it somewhere? Xie Yuanqian smelled Zhou Xing's incense burner and felt puzzled.
Zhou Xing was also very confused when Xie Yuanqian and others came to ask questions.
Because he hadn't been out for a long time, the prince didn't summon him, and his friends didn't invite him, so he was enjoying himself studying chess formations in the Paradise of Cave Heaven.
"I wonder why the two fellow Taoists came here?"
Xie Yuanqian still asked straight to the point.
"The day before yesterday, all 13 members of Qi Feng's family were killed by Jie Xiu. Do you know about this?"
After hearing that his close friend died tragically, Zhou Xing was startled for a moment and then cried bitterly.
"Lingyu, Lingyu! How come you suffered this disaster for no reason! It really makes my heart ache~!"
Zhou Xing's sadness is genuine and his words reveal his true feelings. It seems that he and Qifeng are indeed close friends.
After he calmed down a little, Xie Yuanqian continued to ask questions.
"Where were you the day before yesterday?"
Zhou Xing was very unhappy when he heard Xie Yuanqian ask him this question.
"What! Do you think it was me who killed Lingyu! I tell you, I, Zhou Xing, can swear to the immortals: If I have any thoughts about Lingyu's family, I will be struck by lightning from heaven! I will not die a good death!"
He swore on immortality, and he showed such true feelings before, so I'm afraid he is not suspicious, right?
Li Shixia thought to herself.
But everyone in Xie Yuanqian was dumbfounded. Why did everyone answer the wrong question?
And what’s the point of taking this oath? Is it possible that God will really pay attention to you? Where are you, the cutie? As a time traveler, I haven't been blessed by God yet.
"Don't say anything else, where were you the day before yesterday?"
Zhou Xing was an elegant scholar after all. He suppressed his anger and answered him,
"I study chess records at home."
Xie Yuanqian then asked,
"Can anyone vouch for you?"
Zhou Xing laughed angrily,
"All the servants at home can testify, but will you believe it?"
Xie Yuanqian is not targeting him, this is a fixed process.
"Don't be angry, Zhou Guoshou. This is our standard procedure. Please call all the servants over."
Zhou Xing was forcing the pain of his friend's death and the hatred of the murderer's disappearance onto Xie Yuanqian and the others, so he became angrier with more questions.
But it was also very important to clear his own suspicions. He also wanted to avenge his best friend, so he followed Xie Yuanqian's instructions and called everyone in the family to answer questions.
After Xie Yuanqian's careful questioning, all the servants in the family were able to prove that he had indeed never left the house on the day of the Qifeng family's accident.
Xie Yuanqian expressed regret,
"Sorry, we are also doing business, so I have offended many people. I hope Zhou Guoshou can forgive me!"
Zhou Xing's fire of revenge is blazing, and he no longer takes this trivial matter seriously.
"No problem, it's just that Mr. Xie can let me participate in the investigation. I am an array master and I will definitely be able to help you."
oh! Such a coincidence, now we can go to the scene to investigate and collect evidence.
In the past, because there was no one who knew the formation, there was no way to start at the scene. Now that Zhou Xing has joined, it is possible to start investigating the crime scene again.
Xie Yuanqian readily agreed, but there was no other way. He was short of manpower and couldn't find the evidence. The case could not be solved by asking questions alone.
"That's great. We are short of manpower. Let's go to Qifeng's house now."
Then the group returned to Qifeng's house. This time with Zhou Xing's help, although the formation was not repaired immediately, the location of the murder was restored.
Qi Feng died in the living room, and his family members died at their posts. It was strange that no one showed any signs of escaping.
Xie Yuanqian could find many problems just based on these murder scenes.
Judging from the fact that Qi Feng died in the living room, the visitor was a guest, but the visitor was not kind either.
The kitchen is still preparing meals. This is to entertain this person for dinner.
No one has time to escape? Can't escape or don't need to escape?
Qi Feng was a Foundation-Building Immortal. He could kill him without any resistance. Either his cultivation level was much higher than his, or someone poisoned him. But now that the body was turned into ashes, there was no way to confirm it.
Judging from these doubts, the murderer could only be one of the guards or Chang Wei.
One of them is definitely higher in cultivation than Qi Feng, and the other is most likely to stay at Qi Feng's house for dinner.
Didn't the chess attendant ask any questions? Ask her what she is doing?
Chess attendants generally have no cultivation or low cultivation, and people from the Immortal Fate Department will not come to the door at this time, right?
From Xianyuan Division to Yumo Alley, you have to pass through several alleys with poor public security. How could she, a chess waiter, have the courage?
And Qifeng wouldn’t leave a chess attendant at home for dinner, would he? This doesn't make sense.
In fact, the case is very clear at this point, but there is still a question, that is, all the Qi family's belongings are missing. Xie Yuanqian checked Chang Wei's storage bag and found that there was only food in it.
food?
"Zhou Xing, first restore the Qi family's granary to normal!"
Although he didn't understand what evidence Xie Yuanqian wanted to find, Zhou Xing still partially restored the granary first.
Xie Yuanqian looked at the empty granary after recovery, and instantly understood part of the truth.
He and his men quickly captured Chang Wei.
Chang Wei is a tough talker and refuses to admit it when he is about to die.
"Xie Yuanqian! What evidence do you have against me! You embezzled my cousin's property and now you want to blame me! Yes or no!"
Xie Yuanqian must have come prepared, he cursed loudly,
"Bah! You bastard! Qi Feng's family kindly helped you survive in the imperial capital, but you are so ungrateful that you killed 13 members of his family, and you dare to slander people here!"
Chang Wei didn't cry until he saw the coffin.
"You said I killed my cousin's family, where is the evidence?!"
Xie Yuanqian escorted him back to Qifeng's home, and poured the grain in his storage bag back into the granary. No more, no less, exactly one warehouse.
He pointed at the pile of grain and shouted to Chang Wei,
"Do you still want evidence now?! If Qifeng lent you all the food, what would he eat?"
Chang Wei still wanted to deny it,
"My cousin saw that I was pitiful, so what if he lent me all the food? He is a national soldier under the prince's account, where can't he get food?"
Does Xie Yuanqian still have evidence?
"Oh? Really? Zhou Xing, is it your turn to tell the truth now?"
Zhou Xing, who was still watching from the sidelines, was immediately confused when he was questioned.
"My lord, me? What should I say?"
Xie Yuanqian sneered,
"Just tell me how you killed 13 members of the Qi family."
ah? Isn’t it Chang Wei who kills people?
Zhou Xing would definitely not admit it directly. He said angrily,
"Xie Yuanqian! If you can't find evidence yourself, don't throw dirty water! I, Zhou Xing, swore an oath!"
Xie Yuanqian still said the same thing,
Which cutie are you? Are you still swearing here? Werewolves, hurry up and vote out!
"You want evidence, right? I'll give you evidence!"
First of all, he and Qifeng are both national players under the prince's account, so there is no competition, but it is true that the two are good friends, otherwise Qifeng would not have entertained him warmly on the day of his death, and although the smell of Qifeng's family is gone now, But it's obviously the same smell as the incense burner at his home.
However, because people's sense of smell is adaptable, he was not aware of it for a moment and did not completely process these smells.
Secondly, he understands the formations, and he insists on participating in the investigation of the case. Even if he participates in the investigation, he can successfully repair all the damage to the formations as before. If he could cultivate the great formation of Cave Heaven Paradise, would he still follow the path of elegance? So there is only one explanation. He destroyed the formation, and he would naturally be able to find the formation quickly.
Finally, where did the Qifeng family's belongings go? It is true that Chang Wei only stole food, otherwise he would not be in a hurry to take care of the Qi family's funeral. Similarly, Zhou Xing's first reaction when he heard about the disaster of the Qifeng family was not to collect the bodies first and take care of the funeral, but to rush to take care of the funeral. Looking for the murderer, why?
Because he killed and burned the person, he needs to participate in the investigation to mislead Xie Yuanqian and their reasoning.
Then there is only one truth,
Chang Wei stole food from the front, and Zhou Xing killed people from behind.
The murderer is Zhou Xing!
This rigorous reasoning with solid evidence left the two of them speechless and unable to quibble.
Originally, Zhou Xing wanted to use the formation to resist, but Li Shixia gave him a taste of the power of Blue Star Technology. He threw an iron pipe with no spiritual power fluctuations.
Zhou Xing didn't even look at it. The iron pipe couldn't even scratch the edge of his trousers, and there was no sign of its power at all. There was nothing to be wary of.
As a result, just when Tieguan and Zhou Xing passed by, Xie Yuanqian's mother-in-law Li Shixia, a dignified Foundation Establishment Immortal, shouted excitedly:
“Art is an explosion!!!”
Then there was a sudden explosion, and the shattered iron pieces instantly took away Zhou Xing's life with the power of gunpowder, blowing him to pieces, and everyone present was stunned.
Including Xie Yuanqian.
The four great inventions are still powerful in other worlds. Although this time it is because Zhou Xing was unprepared, but how many people in this other world would be prepared for such a bright spear without spiritual power fluctuations?
This Zhou Xingke is also a foundation-building immortal.
As soon as Zhou Xing died, the matter officially came to an end. Xie Yuanqian and the others experimented with the power of Blue Star Technology. Lou Fang took back the two Cave Heaven Blessed Lands, and Yumo Lane returned to normal. Although Chang Wei was guilty of theft, there was no such thing as the other world. punishment, so he was lucky enough to continue living in Yuchen Lane.
As for Qi Feng's inheritance, Xie Yuanqian didn't care and let other members of the security team divide it all.
Then the three-month war period finally passed, and Xie Yuanqian's family returned to a peaceful life again. The capital has finally returned to peace.
Peaceful days have arrived, and the capital city has become lively again.
Although Yu Country has been downgraded, its prosperity remains the same.
Shen Xianya has been able to attend royal banquets due to her excellent composition. Even this diplomatic event was composed by her. Of course, Xie Yuanqian was behind the scenes.
At this level, Shen Xianya can be said to have perfectly fulfilled her responsibilities and tasks as a tool, and Xie Yuanqian has gradually come to the forefront as a great songwriter.
So they still regarded each other as close friends until that day.
Prince Yurong chooses a concubine.
It is known to all that Prince Yurong has no interest in the throne, and only likes the way of elegance and pleasure. The palace has many guests, and the two national players who died in Yumo Lane last time were under his account.
Shen Xianya is so good, as a music lover, he will naturally notice her. This kind of attention is nothing, after all, there are one or two excellent musicians appearing every year.
However, with Xie Yuanqian's masterpiece of nouns as a driving force, Shen Xianya and those fleeting musicians were obviously different, so she was summoned by Prince Yurong as expected.
"You have excellent lyrics and music, and you have a beautiful face. You should be admitted to my palace!"
His words directly snatched away Shen Xianya's fate. If it were any other musician, he would definitely take off happily. After all, no matter how famous a musician is, he will eventually become obsolete. But if he enters the palace, he will just fly up the branches. Become a phoenix!
But Shen Xianya was not happy at all, because she knew that her music was far inferior to Xie Yuanqian's lyrics, but it was precisely because of such excellent Xie Yuanqian that she was pushed step by step to Prince Yu Rong.
She fell in love with Xie Yuanqian during the long-term correspondence, but Xie Yuanqian was the husband of her best friend, so she could only hide her love in her heart.
Until she told Xie Yuanqian and the others the "good news".
"Hongye, Yuan Qian, I'm going to marry into Prince Rong's palace as a concubine."
Hongye felt that it was undoubtedly a great joy for Shen Xianya to marry into the palace. She had transformed from an unknown music cultivator in a small town where immortals and mortals mixed together to become an extremely noble princess. Even if she was a concubine, she was very happy! This is an improvement in social status, no, it is a leap!
"Really?! That's great, congratulations! Xian Ya! Then we will be the princess's friends from now on! Great!"
Although Xie Yuanqian had the title of Shen Xianya's bosom friend, he had no intuition about the sound. He also felt that Shen Xianya was simply here to congratulate her.
"Congratulations! My dear friend, no, I will call you princess from now on!"
This sound from the princess shattered Shen Xianya's remaining hopes, and her tears fell uncontrollably.
Seeing her crying, Gongsun Hongye was a little at a loss and comforted her by talking nonsense.
"Meili Shen, don't cry. Even if you become a princess in the future, we will still treat you as a friend."
Monk Xie Yuanqian was also confused. How could he cry so easily? Is it because he is afraid that once he enters the Hou family, he will be as deep as the sea?
Then I, as a senior lover of palace dramas in Blue Star, will have a place to play. Moreover, Shen Xianya has been a tool for so long and now she has finally turned around. As her "confidant", it is also right for me to help her rise to the top.
"My friend, don't be afraid. If you have any problems, just come to us and we will support you behind the scenes as before."
us? It turns out it was you all along, and it was me who was being sentimental all along!
Shen Xianya finally had to face reality. The reality was what she thought. From the beginning to the end, Xie Yuanqian belonged to Gongsun Hongye. She was just the one standing by the window and watching the scenery.
The moon that decorates the window is not Xie Yuanqian's, but a masterpiece of Blue Star's famous music. This was originally an acquaintance made by mistake.
Shen Xianya held back her tears of regret, forced a smile and suggested,
"Hongye, Xie Yuanqian, let's, let's play together again!"
Looking at Shen Xianya, whose smiling face was uglier than her sad face, Xie Yuanqian and his wife couldn't understand.
If you have something to say, just say it. What kind of thing are you doing? How does your expression look like you're playing?
But Shen Xianya didn't want to explain more, she already took out the Lingzheng and started playing solo:
"The world is thin and human beings are evil. Flowers fall easily when the rain comes at dusk. The wind dries at dawn and the traces of tears are left. I want to write down my thoughts and speak alone. Difficult, difficult, difficult!
People are different, today is not yesterday, and the sick soul is always like a rope on a swing. The sound of the horn is cold and the night is dark. Afraid of being asked, I swallow my tears and pretend to be happy. Hide it, hide it, hide it! "
It's Tang Wan's "The Hairpin-headed Phoenix", an early copy of Xie Yuanqian's work, and also Shen Xianya's most popular song.
The lyrics of this song are filled with resentment and hatred, and the performer is also filled with sorrow and resentment. Gongsun Hongye's sword dance obviously cannot keep up with this sad and bitter tone, so he can only move with the music and let the style of the music carry the sword intention.
The style of the music stems from Shen Xianya's inner ecstasy, as well as the pain of separation and lovesickness. It makes Gongsun Hongye's sword move faster and slower, left and right. Gongsun Hongye's sword movements are not controlled by Gongsun Hongye, but she seems to be controlled by Shen Xianya's spirit. The notes of the zither captured the soul, and it could only be at her mercy.
This word comes from Blue Star, and Xie Yuanqian, as the excerpter, naturally knows the true meaning. No matter how stupid he is, he now understands what Shen Xianya means.
But this time it was really Xianya who was intentional and unintentional. From the beginning to the end, Xie Yuanqian never had a place for Shen Xianya in his heart. Although Shen Xianya helped him earn a lot of spiritual stones and even attracted a lot of attention to him, the emotional That's how it goes,
If you like it, you just like it. If you don't love it, you don't love it. You can't force it.
Xie Yuanqian has always dealt with feelings in the same way. Typing Ji and Qiaozhu's relationship with him is both fate and coincidence:
Xie Yuanqian first selected them, but not as slaves, but as subordinates.
Then in countless bits and pieces of life, they gradually developed a good impression of Xie Yuanqian, and Xie Yuanqian also became somewhat dependent on them.
If both parties are willing to work together, the results will naturally come naturally.
Needless to say, Gongsun Hongye, after all, it was Gongsun Hongye who made the first move, Xie Yuanqian just responded, and the great friendship between them was sublimated.
Then why can't Shen Xianya?
Xie Yuanqian couldn't answer this question.
Maybe this can only be explained as not loving means not loving.
