Chapter 505: Everything is related to him
Chapter 505: Everything is related to him
Now that things have come to this, there seems to be no better way to survive than what the tall guy suggested.
Huang Yingying saw the two big guys and said nothing. She burst into tears and then knelt down, howling at the top of her lungs, "City Lord, save me! Someone wants to kill me! City Lord, save me! Someone wants to kill me..."
He cried loudly and emotionally at the very beginning, with tears and snot coming out. Coupled with his miserable appearance, how can you describe his miserable appearance with just one word?
Not to mention his miserable appearance now, even if he looked normal, Li Xianghong would look down on him. She really couldn't understand why Bai Qiru would marry such a thing.
She scolded him in a deep voice: "Are you still a man? Stop crying! Come on, tell me what's going on."
As he spoke, he glanced at Po Yuan who was observing Huang Yingying beside him. He wondered if he would be disappointed after seeing the old man Huang's behavior, or would he still think that this guy was the murderer?
"Yes..." Huang Yingying raised her sleeve to wipe her tears. She cried quickly and stopped crying quickly. Her hands with rotten palms were very conspicuous. After she stopped crying, she explained in a babble, "Yesterday afternoon, Bai's Rice Shop received a large order to deliver a thousand bags of spiritual rice to Zhalanpo outside the city for delivery. My wife ordered me to escort the car. But after waiting for a while at Zhalanpo, a group of masked killers suddenly appeared. I tried to escape underground but was locked by a flying chain and pulled back. Then they knocked me out and took me away. When I woke up, I found myself in a cave. A group of masked men forced me to help them do something. I refused, so they tortured me..."
He spread his hands and tilted his neck, revealing the injuries on his body. "Later, they even threatened to kill themselves. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I used the earth escape technique to help them do some work."
As soon as these words came out, Po Yuan immediately asked, "What did I ask you to do?"
Huang Yingying yelled, "I really didn't do it willingly. I was really forced to do it."
Po Yuan shouted, "What did I ask you to do?"
Huang Yingying squeaked, "First, I was asked to lead people to sneak into the city and sneak into someone's bedroom, but..."
Li Xianghong: "Why are you hesitating? If you don't want to say it, then don't say it forever!"
Huang Yingying hurriedly said, "My Lord, the masked man was intentionally hiding the truth and only specified the distance so that I wouldn't know whose house he went to. However, I am familiar with the topography of the city. As someone who is good at escaping underground, I can roughly guess the location with a little estimation. If I am not mistaken, he should have gone to a bedroom in the Chaoyue Pavilion."
Po Yuan said indifferently: "What else?"
Huang Yingying was slightly startled. Why didn't the other party seem to be curious at all? He didn't know why the tall guy asked him to make up something he had never done. He continued, "Then he asked me to use the earth escape technique to take him to run around underground outside the city for a while. I was almost exhausted to death. If I ran too slow, they would beat me. I couldn't figure out what they were going to do."
Po Yuan asked again: "Did anything unusual happen when you were running around underground outside the city?"
Huang Yingying thought for a moment and said, "When I was surfacing in the woods to get some fresh air, a man suddenly fell down. When he saw us, he started shouting for help, but the person holding me slapped him to silence him. Then he asked me to continue to take him underground and leave. Is this considered abnormal?"
Po Yuan said in a deep voice: "That's all?"
"Anything else?" Huang Yingying thought for a moment and said with embarrassment, "If you want to ask me something, just ask me directly. I will tell you everything I know. As for the rest, I really don't know what counts as abnormal."
Po Yuan stared at him intently and asked, "After he injured someone and escaped again, did you see anything unusual during the escape? For example, fighting?"
"There was no further fighting." Huang Yingying shook her head and hesitated for a moment. "But at that time, there was some movement behind us approaching us, as if someone was chasing us underground. When the sound approached, the person holding me released some kind of light. I was trying to escape underground, and I only felt a flash of light behind me, and then the pursuit disappeared. Is this considered abnormal?"
He sounded very serious when he spoke, but he felt very nervous inside. He didn't know if he could fool people with what the tall guy taught him.
It was because this method of stroking the tiger's whiskers was too rough and not reliable at all, it was simply a matter of life and death, so he really didn't want to come.
Po Yuan fell into silence and thought.
Li Xianghong glanced at him and asked, "Who is holding you hostage?"
Huang Yingying: "They were all masked and I really didn't know who they were."
Po Yuan suddenly snorted coldly: "According to what you said, the person who held you hostage should be an expert. How could he let you escape so easily?"
Huang Yingying was stunned and said, "I didn't run away. They let me go back and said that the matter was over. They said they had been exposed. It seemed that something had happened to them and they had to flee to the ends of the earth. They said they had no grudges against me, so they let me go."
Li Xianghong frowned, "Since I've already let you go, why are you still shouting that someone wants to kill you?"
Huang Yingying hesitated and said, "Those people are so mysterious, how can they tell the truth? Besides..." She wailed again, "They killed my shop assistants. All three of them were killed. What if they find me again? City Lord, you are a friend of my wife. You must protect me. Can you lock me up in the mountains first and let me out after you catch those people?"
As he spoke, he started crying again. His old face was simply unbearable to look at.
"Shut up!" Li Xianghong yelled, looking annoyed by his crying. Po Yuan interrupted, "Huang Yingying, do you know Fan Wuzhe?"
Huang Yingying raised her sleeves to wipe away tears and said simply, "I don't know him."
After these words were spoken, Po Yuan and Li Xianghong's faces turned gloomy. Fan Wuzhe had confessed everything.
Li Xianghong said in a deep voice: "Are you sure you don't know him?"
Huang Yingying asked in surprise: "Do I know him?"
This statement completely messed up the atmosphere of the scene.
Seeing that everyone was about to get angry, he quickly added, "Can you give me a hint?"
If it were someone else, Li Xianghong would definitely give him a beating first, but for Bai Qiru's sake, she endured it and asked, "At Chaoyue Pavilion, the man that Dong Wenshu's second daughter is going to marry, haven't you seen him?"
"Ah? Oh, that pretty boy, I've seen him before, what's with Fan, you are talking about him, yes I have seen him, I saw him yesterday afternoon, and that's not..." Huang Yingying muttered as she lowered her head, looking as if she wanted to say something but stopped herself.
He doesn't look like a man at all. Li Xianghong can't stand it anymore. A strand of her long hair suddenly flutters up like a spear, piercing through the socket of Huang Yingying's left shoulder and twisting like a snake.
As long as she wanted, each strand of her hair could flow into every blood vessel of the other person.
"Ah!" Huang Yingying screamed in pain, "I saw him a month ago, a month ago, at the tax bureau. I saw him being severely tortured by the tax bureau's people. I really don't know how he became the son-in-law of Chaoyue Pavilion."
Li Xianghong and Po Yuan looked at each other and found that this was consistent with Fan Wuzhe's confession.
Swish, the long hair was pulled out from Huang Yingying's shoulders, and he tilted his body and groaned in pain.
Po Yuan asked: "Don't you know who kidnapped you?"
Huang Yingying shook her head and replied hastily, "I don't know. I have never made enemies with anyone, nor have I ever offended anyone. I don't know why someone would kidnap me."
As he spoke, tears and snot appeared and he started crying again.
After further detailed interrogation, he finally got what he wanted. He wanted to be locked up in the mountains, so he was really taken to jail.
Although Li Xianghong disliked Huang Yingying, she still spoke up for him. "He may not know who kidnapped him. Even if he recognized that Fan Wuzhe was captured by Mei You and his gang, he would not have known about Mei You and his gang's plan for the library. If he hadn't seen the kidnapper's true appearance, he would not have thought that Mei You would kidnap him."
Po Yuan: "There are too many doubts in this matter that cannot be cleared up. Did you arrest Mei You because of his wife? Did Mei You move against him because he discovered Fan Wuzhe's secret? He had sneaked into Fan Wuzhe's bedroom. He was also involved in the murder of my right-hand man. Now the kidnappers have released him just because they have no grudges against him. Everything is related to him. Can you let him go just because what he said makes sense? How did Mei You die? Who sent the letter and the mother-child talisman you received? Why did the mastermind want A Xun's relics? We don't know the real reason. How can we let this man go?"
Li Xianghong asked back: "Do you think this matter can be investigated clearly? The mastermind has obviously succeeded and left. If we can't investigate it clearly, can we keep detaining him?"
Po Yuan: "If we can't find out... he shouldn't have left the Divine Mountain in the first place. He should have stayed in the Divine Mountain as a slave forever. This is a good excuse to take him back and make him a slave again."
Li Xianghong glared at him, "Don't forget why he was released. Don't forget that he is Grandma Qi's grandson-in-law."
Po Yuan: "Grandma Qi is far away in Fenglin Island. Whether she knows that her expelled granddaughter has found such a thing is another matter. If he hadn't been involved in these things, would she have been able to talk to him so nicely? He would have been taken away and tortured long ago. Some things are not for you and me to worry about. I am afraid that these series of things are caused by those rats who are still determined to do evil. It is better to take him back to Shenshan and watch him. If someone really comes forward to plead for him, we will talk about it later. It has nothing to do with us. The higher-ups will make the decision!"
Seeing that he was determined, Li Xianghong looked a little serious. After thinking about Bai Qiru for a few times, she returned to the topic and said, "Lou Xiu is definitely involved in this matter. It is very likely that he is silencing Mei You. He may even know who is behind this."
Po Yuan asked back: "Do you have any evidence?"
Li Xianghong's expression changed, "What do you mean?"
Po Yuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "I received a message from Shenshan. If you have evidence, then you can do whatever you want. He deserves it, and there's nothing to say. If there's no evidence, considering that the two of you have gotten to this point, I will transfer him back to Shenshan."
