Chapter 156 Face to face questioning
This morning, when a woodcutter was cutting firewood in the southeast corner of Xiaoshui City, he accidentally stumbled upon a hanging body, so he immediately notified the government.
Naturally, the government quickly informed the Qingwu Sect. Not long after, the people from the Qingwu Sect came quickly, and Mei Xiangxue was among them.
Of course, Mei Jiangxue knew that Uncle Qingjue was suddenly assassinated when he was losing his life force, but he didn't expect that the body would be placed in the former headquarters of the Blood Killing Sect, and he immediately realized that the murderer had done this on purpose.
Just when other people in the sect were speculating whether the remnant of the Blood Killing Sect had killed the leader, Mei Jiangxue linked the murderer to Lin Yan for no reason.
Because Mei Jiangxue remembered clearly that Lin Yan had not shown up since he came out of Dragon Island. Even when he wanted to prevent his marriage with senior brother Qingfeng, Lin Yan only did it in secret without exposing his body. He seemed to have some influence on Qingwu Sect.
He was afraid, and later, when he asked about the reason, Lin Yan prevaricated it again.
Therefore, Mei Jiangxue believed that Lin Yan deliberately did not show up in Xiaoshui City in order to make everyone think that he was dead so that he could act secretly. The mysterious death of Qing Jue leader may have been his fault.
So, Mei Xiangxue came and wanted to ask questions in person.
But upon hearing Lin Yan's answer, Mei Jiangxue was stunned.
Mei Jiangxue did not expect that Lin Yan would admit it directly!
Looking at the calm man opposite, Mei Jiangxue felt at this moment that even though the two of them were sitting at the same table, they seemed so strange and their relationship was so cold.
"Lin Yan, why are you the murderer!"
Mei Xingxue's graceful and delicate body hidden under the white skirt was trembling slightly, her fingers pressed firmly on the stone table, trying her best to endure it.
How unwilling Mei Jiangxue was to believe that this matter would have something to do with Lin Yan. Before coming, she told herself more than a hundred times that Lin Yan had absolutely nothing to do with this matter. Several times, she decided to return halfway.
, even though he finally rushed into the courtyard with a frosty face, he still did not identify Lin Yan as the murderer.
Unexpectedly, Lin Yan would admit it like this.
"Lin Yan, why? Why did you kill Uncle Qing Jue?"
Without giving Lin Yan any chance to explain, Mei Jiangxue suddenly stood up, pressed her hands hard on the stone table, stared at Lin Yan, and asked again: "You came back from Dragon Island but never showed up, because...
Are you looking for opportunities in the dark to kill Uncle Qing Jue at all costs?"
The two cups of tea on the stone table were shaking violently, and a lot of tea splashed out. When it fell on the table, a dense air rose up and spread between the two of them, like a thin veil separating them.
Lin Yan knew that he had to explain, otherwise, there would be cracks in his relationship with Mei Jiangxue, and he might even become like a passerby in the future.
Lin Yan then gently placed the two cups of tea on the ground and said, "Miss Jiangxue, please calm down and listen to my explanation."
But who knew that the heart in Mei Jiangxue Bingshan's body would sometimes boil, especially when her uncle Qing Jue was killed, and the murderer was Lin Yan, so Lin Yan's words could only backfire.
Instead, Mei Jiangxue stood up straighter, her delicate body trembling: "You want me to calm down, how can I calm down? You killed my uncle, the head of my Qingwu Sect!"
Only then did Lin Yan realize that even though Mei Jiangxue was definitely an anomaly in the Qingwu Sect, this did not hinder Mei Jiangxue's loyalty to the sect. In other words, he still underestimated Mei Jiangxue's unique feelings for the Qingwu Sect. He did not
Thinking of Qing Jue's death, it would have such a big impact on Mei Jiangxue's heart.
Just when he was about to tell what happened on Dragon Island, Mei Jiangxue, who was already very angry, said loudly: "I hate people lying to me the most in my life, but you just did this!"
"After you came back from Dragon Island, on the one hand, you showed up to meet me, but on the other hand, you were secretly planning to deal with Master Qingjue. What's ridiculous is that I also helped you to be the head of the sect and concealed you from Master Tianxuan's uncle.
news, but in the end, you still killed Uncle Qingjue behind my back!"
It seemed that this was the first time that Mei Jiangxue was so angry. Anyway, it was the first time that Lin Yan had seen her.
But what Lin Yan doesn't know is that the people who want to make Mei Jiangxue angry are the people Mei Jiangxue cares about.
"I didn't lie to you. I had some scruples about finishing Qing Jue and didn't want you to know, so I deliberately hid it." Lin Yan explained.
"Really?" Mei Jiangxue sneered.
"Yes," Lin Yan answered simply, "If I didn't conceal this matter, would you watch me kill Qing Jue?"
"Of course I won't," Mei Jiangxue shook her head, but her voice suddenly became louder: "But what kind of hatred do you have with Uncle Qingjue that you need to kill him to resolve it?"
Lin Yan looked at Mei Jiangxue and felt a little angry in his heart. From the very beginning, Mei Jiangxue was sure that his behavior was unforgivable, but he did not give himself a chance to explain. This made him feel very uncomfortable, so
, Lin Yan finally stood up with a bang, and almost roared at Mei Jiangxue: "My old man Qingjue and I have a deadly feud! If he hadn't died today, all you would have seen is
It will be my corpse!"
This was probably the first time she saw Lin Yan getting angry at her. Mei Jiangxue was stunned for a moment. Although she still thought that Lin Yan should not kill Uncle Qing Jue, Lin Yan's words made her feel that there was something hidden in the matter.
She should at least give Lin Yan a chance to explain.
"Reason, Lin Yan, give me a reason," Mei Jiangxue finally calmed down after venting her anger, but her voice was still cold, "Tell me, why did you kill Uncle Qing Jue?"
Lin Yan also realized that he shouldn't be so excited. After sitting down, in as calm a tone as possible, he told the story of Qing Jue sending two black-clad killers to Long Island to assassinate him. He didn't even hide Shi Gui's help.
.
Mei Jiangxue did not interrupt any of Lin Yan's words, and listened quietly to the end, and finally said: "But even so, do you think that murder must be used to solve the problem?"
"Of course." Lin Yan nodded without hesitation, "If I don't kill him, once I show up, I will be killed by him a second time, and a third time. Do you think I can escape with my strength?"
Mei Xiangxue was silent for a moment.
Lin Yan could see the tangle in Mei Jiangxue's heart.
Lin Yan knew that in the final analysis, Mei Jiangxue was still dissatisfied with herself because the person who died was Qing Jue, her uncle, and the head of the Qingwu Sect. What if it was not Qing Jue who died but someone related to her?
With people who are not close to each other, Mei Jiangxue will think that there is nothing wrong with what she has done. After all, if she wants to survive, she can only survive by killing the other person.
But it was because of the different relationship between Qing Jue and Mei Jiangxue that Mei Jiangxue was in a dilemma.
Even if Mei Jiangxue does not pursue the matter and lets it go, Mei Jiangxue may not be able to really let it go in her heart. Maybe when she sees herself again in the future, Mei Jiangxue will always subconsciously think that she is the murderer. This will make Mei Jiangxue
Carrying psychological baggage will also greatly weaken the relationship between the two of them that originally trusted each other. Maybe from now on, the relationship between the two will gradually become estranged.
Of course Lin Yan didn't want this.
So Lin Yan needs Mei Xingxue to lower his feelings for Qing Jue.
The best way is naturally to make Mei Jiangxue resist Qing Jue.
So, when Mei Jiangxue's heart was entangled, Lin Yan took out a small porcelain bottle from his arms and handed it to Mei Jiangxue.
"See for yourself." Lin Yan said.
Mei Jiangxue took the porcelain bottle and could easily see the three words on the label on the surface of the porcelain bottle.
"This is what I discovered from Qing Jue." Lin Yan added.
Mei Jiangxue's brows gradually furrowed, and she finally said in an unbelievable tone: "Is it because of this that I lost my memory?"
"I only know that the head of a dignified sect carries such an item with him. If this item is not too important, I really can't think of any other reasons. Moreover, the amnesiac San Qingjue carries it with him, so
It means that he can make you lose your memory for the second time at any time." Lin Yan analyzed the darkness in Qing Jue's heart in front of Mei Jiangxue with the greatest malice.
But Mei Xiangxue obviously found it difficult to accept it, and was unwilling to accept such an absurd and cruel thing.
"No," Mei Jiangxue shook her head desperately, as if talking to herself: "Uncle Qingjue would not do this to me. Since my parents died in the war, Uncle Qingjue has always regarded me as his biological daughter. How could he
It will harm me."
In order for Mei Jiangxue to shatter the illusion of Qing Jue's beautiful image, Lin Yan could only continue to use strong medicine: "You and I both think that if Qing Jue secretly used amnesia on you, Qing Jue is harming you, but the problem is,
Qing Jue didn't think so. During the time when you lost your memory, I only found that Qing Jue and his son were happier than usual. Why? It's because you lost your memory and only remembered Qing Feng, so Qing Feng could easily marry
You. For Qing Jue and his son, you are what they want to see most after you lose your memory. To put it bluntly, if you lose your memory, it will be easier for them to control you."
"Miss Xiangxue, you can question Qingfeng with your amnesia. I can guarantee that Qingfeng will also know about this."
Those words made Mei Jiangxue's heart twitch violently.
Looking at the bottle of "Amnesia Powder" in front of her, she had to believe that Lin Yan's words were true.
"Miss Jiangxue, until now, I, Lin Yan, have never thought that I have done anything wrong, and I don't want to excuse myself at all, because between me and Qing Jue, it is not a question of who should be killed and who should not be killed, but who should be killed and who should not be killed.
Someone must die, so you cannot look at this from a moral or emotional perspective and think that it is my fault that I killed your Uncle Qing Jue."
"I'm telling you the real reason for amnesia so that you can see Qing Jue's true face. Qing Jue may indeed treat you as his own daughter, but do you know what he does to others? He wants to kill me just because he wants to kill me.
Because I would threaten his son! For such a stupid reason, he sent two masters of the Mortal Realm to kill me, a warrior who was only in the Xiantian Realm at that time. If it weren't for Shi Gui's help, I would have died long ago!"
"If it were you, if someone wanted to kill you, would you still go to him to reason?"
"In addition, although Qing Jue's corpse was placed at the door of the Blood Killing Sect back then, although it was for the purpose of concealing himself, more importantly, it was because Qing Jue killed the unarmed people of the Blood Killing Sect six years ago.
Among people, there is one who is equivalent to my relative. I did this not to insult Qing Jue, but just to give an explanation to those who died innocently and tragically."
Lin Yan finished speaking in one breath, and then quietly waited for Mei Xiangxue's reaction.
Lin Yan believed that Mei Jiangxue would at least no longer regard him as a murderer like he did at first.
Mei Jiangxue was silent for a while, as if she was very tired, pursed her lips and said slowly: "Lin Yan, I can understand you from your point of view, but no matter what, Master Qingjue was killed by you after all.
Whenever I think about this, there will always be a knot in my heart."
Lin Yan nodded, understanding Mei Jiangxue's dilemma. After all, even if Qing Jue is a heinous villain, Mei Jiangxue will have different feelings for him, and feelings can always affect a person's heart.
.
But Lin Yan still hopes that Mei Jiangxue can untie this knot in his heart.
So Lin Yan said: "In short, Qing Jue and I will definitely only have one person survive in the end. Either he dies or I die. It's a very simple fact. Don't think that your uncle Qing Jue died innocently. In fact, Qing Jue died innocently."
Like me, they are not good people, and they all play hypocritical and cruel tricks. The difference is that I do not kill innocent people indiscriminately, nor do I use people close to me to achieve ulterior purposes."
"Are you saying this to reduce my guilt?" Mei Jiangxue said suddenly.
"Why do you say that?" Lin Yan was confused.
"If I pretend that nothing happened, I will always feel sorry for Uncle Qingjue." Mei Jiangxue explained.
Lin Yan knew that the knot in Mei Jiangxue's heart would not be untied so quickly, but what he said was really intended to arouse Mei Jiangxue's resistance to Qing Jue. Although the effect was not very good, he could not do it in front of Mei Jiangxue.
He admitted it in front of his face, so he had to smile awkwardly.
"Lin Yan, let's try to meet as little as possible in the future." Mei Jiangxue said.
Lin Yan nodded, understanding Mei Jiangxue's mood. From Mei Jiangxue's point of view, it was really difficult for her to face him, so it was better to let time untie her knot first.
"Give me some time, I don't want our relationship to be affected and we become strangers." Mei Jiangxue blushed.
What else could Lin Yan say? It was the best to achieve such a result after a quarrel.
"Don't worry, at least I won't tell this in front of other people. I'm leaving first."
