“Who did it?” Chengfeng's expression was pained
Liangsheng slowly shook his head “No one knows…”
Chengfeng sla the wine bottle to nearly topple
Liangsheng paused and then exhaled, “However…”
Chengfeng grabbed a tiny pouch fro noises as it moved He threw it on the table and yelled, “Say it!”
Liangsheng shed it in his palm, and then he put it in his chest pocket “Thanks, brother!”
Xiaobao watched the scene unfold, and rolled his eyes
Liangsheng spoke, “There's a lead, but it won't clear your naht just help weed out some suspicions”
“Spit it”
“I've looked at the coroner's report It says that Zhixin was smothered to death”
Chengfeng kept his cold, steely stare It was frightening “And then?”
“Based on the coroner's judgement, a day prior to the adultery”
“Who did it? Can it be traced?”
“Only inferences could behis head
Chengfeng filled Liangsheng's glass and replied, “Just say it,”
Liangsheng took a long swig, “You know Zhixin had a pursuer, right?”
“Hoould I know? Everyone was cla after her anyways,”
“The pursuer's name starts with Zhou,”
Chengfeng paused, “Zhou Qingyang? Fro'an?”
“Yep, that's him”
“He did it?”
“According to the other servants in the Zhixin House, they were pretty close A few days before the incident, they were heard fighting Zhixin wanted to leave, but Qingyang didn't let her, and so they argued Qingyang ended up slapping her”
Chengfeng's face was expressionless “Carry on”
“But here's the interesting part Almost everyone of the other servants mentioned that Silver Hairpin was involved”
“Hm?”
“According to the report, Silver Hairpin o nant”
Chengfeng fell into a deep thought He had a gli the dots
Liangsheng continued, “Although there's no proof, it's al to court Zhixin, but to no avail So he hooked up with Silver Hairpin, hoping to get one foot into the door At the sa Master Zhou Hence, the pregnancy”
Chengfeng interrupted, “But the pregnancy got her worried, so she started pressuring Qingyang to ements But all he wanted was a piece of the Zhixin cake By then, Zhixin had already caught on Hastily, he decided to soat So, I happened to walk right into this mess…”
Liangsheng clapped his hands gleefully, “Not bad, your guess is quite siuess is that Zhixin was actually sor an to surface Those handprints belong to a lady's”
Chengfeng stood up and gritted his teeth, his eyes ith fury “He didn't kill Zhixin, but she's dead because of him!”
“Why? Wanna avenge her?” Liangsheng watched with amusement
Xiaobao suddenly spoke up urgently, “No! Master, please don't!”
But the plea fell on deaf ears Chengfeng's eyes re “Where is he?!”
Liangsheng guffawed in response, “He's at Liu Su Blossom Residence!”
Like the wind, Chengfeng dashed out of the rooo! Don't do anything! We can't get into any more trouble!”
Chengfeng turned to face Xiaobao with a lare, which silenced Xiaobao Xiaobao knew this expression well He sed his words He saw Liangsheng languidly walk over with the bottle of wine, while singing a tune “I saw the ebb and flow of the tides, I saw the clouds form and disperse, white horses dash across the eternal plains, the flowers under the ht seem to bloom in reverse…”
Xiaobao stared at Liangsheng with hatred He had been right all along: he really was a despicable scum of the earth!
